The Green Bay Packers are 5-3 after beating the Carolina Panthers by a 27-19 final score on "Thursday Night Football" from Lambeau Field. There were **** ps along the way, especially early and late, but the Packers got three touchdown passes from Jordan Love and six sacks from Jonathan Gannon's defense to power what ended up being a winning performance.
Highlighting the good, the bad and the ugly coming out of Thursday night's win:
Jordan Love during the first three quarters, the adversity defense, and the pass-rush: Love was on fire for the first 45 minutes, completing 26 of his first 33 passes for 262 yards and three scores. He threw a pick early in the fourth quarter, starting a disappointing finish for the offense overall, but the Packers quarterback was terrific for most of the contest, playing on time from the pocket and consistently finding completions. Jonathan Gannon's defense was dominant at times, allowing only three points off three Packers turnovers, and the only three points came after the fumbled opening kickoff that gave the Panthers the ball in field goal range. It took a few crazy conversions for the Panthers to score a touchdown in the second half. The Packers were dominant up front, sacking Bryce Young six times and consistently disrupting the pocket.
The start, and most of the finish: How did the Packers open the game? By fumbling away the opening kickoff, dropping three first-quarter passes and committing a pre-snap penalty. The turnover spotted the Panthers three early points. To Green Bay's credit, the first quarter ended with the Packers leading. During most of the second and third quarters, the Packers were in complete control, leading 20-10 at the half and 27-13 with a chance to dagger the Panthers to start the fourth quarter. But Jordan Love threw a pick on the second play of the fourth, turning the game sharply, and the Panthers eventually scored on a 70-yard drive and had the ball down one score with a chance to tie the game. What should have been a comfortable, two- or three-score win ended up being a nail biter because the Packers made costly mistakes and couldn't run the ball. One more bad: Trey Smack missed an extra point, so the kicking worries continue to linger. The lost point mattered because it kept the Panthers within one score in the fourth quarter.
The run game. The Packers returned Aaron Banks to the lineup at left guard, and Josh Jacobs got a full workload against the NFL's worst run defense entering Week 8, but it wasn't nearly enough to awaken Green Bay's dormant run game. Jacobs turned 21 rushes into only 39 yards, and 18 of the Packers' 66 rushing yards came on a well-executed Savion Williams gadget play. The 25 designed runs to running backs gained all of 48 yards. Jacobs didn't have a run longer than six yards. It's possible the Packers run game just isn't going to happen in 2026. This is a historically bad start -- the Packers are just the 14th team since 1935 to rush for fewer than 500 yards

Heat player who will shock NBA world with breakout 2026-27 season appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
It's not quite championship-or-bust yet for the Miami Heat, but they're as close to that status as they can get. After all, the expectations for the Heat are through the roof after they brought in two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo via a blockbuster trade. Antetokounmpo has had so much appreciation for the Heat's vaunted culture that landing in Miami was one of the main priorities for him this offseason — with his former team, the Milwaukee Bucks, doing him a service.
But at the end of the day, the Heat paid a heavy price to bring Antetokounmpo in. They parted ways with Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel'el Ware, and Kasparas Jakucionis to go along with three first-round picks (2026, 2031, and 2033), a first-round pick swap (2030), and a second-round pick (2033).
The Heat did a good enough job of replacing the depth they lost, as they added veterans Tim Hardaway Jr. and Klay Thompson to serve as floor-spacers in a Giannis-centric offense. Getting Bobby Portis back in the Giannis trade was also an underrated part of that transaction. Moreover, they came to terms with Andrew Wiggins on a contract extension, securing the services of one of their most important role players through at least the 2027-28 campaign.

Travis Kelce is set to play his first game as a married man when the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Denver Broncos in a Week 1 "Monday Night Football" matchup.
The question on everyone's mind will be about whether his wife, pop star Taylor Swift, will be in attendance for the game.
Kelce and Swift were married during the NFL offseason. Their wedding was one of the events of the summer, with numerous sports figures and celebrities being in attendance for the event held July 3 at Madison Square Garden.
While the wedding soaked up much of the attention surrounding the couple over the summer, Kelce's focus will now shift toward trying to win a fourth – and perhaps final – Super Bowl with the Chiefs.
Will Swift be in attendance for her husband's game against the Broncos? Here's what to know as the Chiefs play their home opener at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday, Sept. 14.

Nebraska 3-New Mexico 0: 25-12, 25-13, 25-15
Well that was a quick match to start out the Huskers' season at the Bob Devaney Center! Everyone was excited to be back in the Bob tonight to watch some Husker volleyball and they really kept it short and sweet for the fans tonight with a 3-0 sweep.
Former Husker Allie Sczech was on the call, for B1G+, tonight along with 2 others and they had said a couple times how New Mexico was getting into their rhythm after a win against their rival, New Mexico State, earlier this week. The Huskers kind of just squashed whatever confidence they had coming in by shutting them down.
We saw the same lineup we've been seeing since the first match so we should ******* ume this is the starting lineup that DBK is going with this year. Olivia Mauch got the libero jersey once again too. I wonder when, or if, we'll see Laney Choboy as the libero at all this season.
This is meant to be no shade whatsoever towards New Mexico, but the Huskers kind of made them look like a high school team. The first set especially was a hard one for the Lobos. New Mexico just didn't seem ready for what was to come.

COMO, Italy (AP) — Italian soccer club Como has given forward Roberta Picchi a contract extension in what it called a "continued commitment" after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Picchi's diagnosis came after she helped Como win promotion to the top tier of Italian women's soccer for the first time last season and weeks before its first women's Serie A game.
"Roberta will now begin her treatment, supported throughout by the club's medical team, who will work closely with the specialists responsible for her care," Como said in a statement on Monday.
"Everyone at Como 1907 is alongside Roberta and will give her and her family all the support they need during the months ahead. As part of that continued commitment, the club has also renewed Roberta's contract until the end of the 2027/28 season."
Como added, "At this time, we ask that Roberta's privacy is respected as she focuses on her treatment and recovery."

Texas State football head coach GJ Kinne didn't hold back much after Saturday's 59-7 loss to Texas.
Sure, the Longhorns' talent was glaring. They tore through the Bobcats' defense, while their punter never left the sideline. Texas State's offense showed some signs of life against a front seven that features a couple of future NFL players. But Kinne said the mental mishaps frustrated him more than anything else.
"I can deal with physically getting beat," Kinne said. "But when you're playing someone like Texas Week 1 on the road, every time you make a (mental) mistake like that, they're going to make you pay for it."
Texas State can't afford to be as sloppy next week. It hosts UTSA in a rivalry matchup that could be a tipping point for both teams' 2026 season. Here are some takeaways from Texas State's loss:

Celtic made it a comfortable night at Paradise on Wednesday with a convincing 3-0 win against Aberdeen to keep their domestic winning run since the start of the season going.
It was also a busy week off the pitch for the Celts, with a number of new additions joining the club before the end of the summer transfer window.
Oliver Sørensen, Sam Johnstone, Shumaira Mheuka, Landon Emenalo, Joël van den Berg and Jordan Lotomba all became Celtic players over the course of this week, joining Camilo Durán, Kasper Høgh, Mika Baur and Haissem Hassan who all put pen to paper earlier in the window.

As its standoff with LSU intensifies, the SEC is receiving some support from beyond the conference and its member universities.
Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr is encouraging SEC commissioner Greg Sankey to take "all measures available" against the Tigers if they field a team featuring former NFL players returning to college, and to "use all legal means necessary to protect the University of Georgia, student athletes, and the integrity of college athletics," according to a letter from Carr to Sankey obtained by ESPN on Wednesday, Sept. 2.
Those potential punishments could escalate to suspending and/or removing LSU from the conference, of which it has been a member since the league's founding in 1932.
REQUIRED READING: LSU tested SEC's authority. The conference's response is raising eyebrows
"College athletics are for college athletes only, and we are grateful the SEC has taken swift action to maintain that standard," Carr wrote in the letter, according to ESPN. "However, the rules cannot be ignored or twisted to benefit one coach, one institution, or one program, and we refuse to stand by while that happens."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers welcomed back starting catcher Will Smith, backup Dalton Rushing and pitcher Justin Wrobleski from the injured list Tuesday, bolstering their bench for the final month of the season.
Smith had been out since June 6 with a neck injury. Rushing was sidelined since Aug. 3 with a right arm injury. Wrobleski had been out because of left forearm inflammation.
"We've got a lot of the bases covered," manager Dave Roberts said. "Now, the guys that essentially play every day need to just perform."
Meanwhile, the next steps for Shohei Ohtani's potential return to the mound could come soon.
"I do think that there's going to be a conversation that needs to be had this week about what the outlook is, and we haven't had it yet," Roberts said.

Lowell High School's championship varsity baseball team will be forced to forfeit three future games against city rivals while its entire coaching staff has been removed, district officials announced Monday while releasing the results of investigations into a racially charged incident last spring.
"The school will find an interim coach for this season and conduct a search for a permanent coach for next season," officials said.
School administrators advised Lowell baseball parents and players of the decisions in a virtual meeting scheduled for early evening.
"We want to emphasize that there is no place for racism, discrimination, or racialized harm in the Lowell community or anywhere in SFUSD," district officials said in a statement obtained by the Chronicle prior to the meeting. "We encourage anyone who has experienced or witnessed racialized harm that has gone unaddressed to report it to school officials so that concerns can be appropriately addressed."
While the officials did not release specific information about the investigation, sources inside the Lowell community told the Chronicle in May that it appeared to be connected to alleged race-based taunting by Lowell's varsity players during a junior varsity game against Lincoln High at which the varsity coaches were present.

An audacious trumpet solo, played over the beginning of Lil Wayne's 2008 hit 'A Milli,' has taken the college football world by storm as fans gear up for the season.

He ***** led it "A Milli but Wayne trusted me to start the song for whatever reason." It's fitting that he used that song when considering the exposure -- the post with him playing with the song has more than 1.7 million likes and been reposted more than 337,000 times. It has more than 4 million likes on TikTok.
College football fans were hooked and eventually, programs caught on. Mississippi State was first, posting a hype video with the audio that now has more than 90,000 Instagram likes on July 13. Mississippi State has even invited Hunkele to perform live at its opener September 5 against Louisiana-Monroe.

LANSING — Here is quick reaction from **** ton's season-opening road rout of Everett at Archie Ross Memorial Stadium.
WILLIE BROWN, **** TON — The senior has attracted college interest and showed his abilities on both offense and defense while scoring the first two touchdowns of the game. He has a TD reception on a fourth down play to cap a strong opening drive for the J-Dubbs. Brown added an 80-yard interception return for a score in the opening half.
In a game that featured six turnovers in the opening half — three from each team — **** ton gained some separation when Abdual Carter Foreman rushed for a TD on the J-Dubbs opening drive of the second half. That touchdown stretched the J-Dubbs lead to 26-0.
The J-Dubbs ended a two-game losing streak to Everett with the season-opening win that marked the biggest for **** ton in the rivalry since a 49-7 win in 2017. **** ton also gets big bragging rights among Lansing city schools and has a shot to be champs in the city if it beats Eastern in Week 9. The victory also give the J-Dubbs some momentum entering a big Week 2 road game against Portland to open CAAC White play. Portland has been the top team in the White the last several seasons.
"We were able to just execute and just put more points on the board (Thursday against Everett), but facing Portland, it requires a lot more discipline than we played with today. We had quite a few mental errors, a lot of flags thrown. We've got to be extremely disciplined. I know I've said that word a lot, but that's what it really takes to beat a team like that." — **** ton coach Willie Dillard

The battle between Mateu Alemany and Deco could have another chapter before the transfer window closes, according to SPORT.
The sporting directors of Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona are once again competing for Jorge Salinas, one of the most promising young defenders in Spanish football.
The story also has an obvious personal dimension. The relationship between Alemany and Deco has carried some tension since the period when they worked together at Barcelona.
The arrival of the Portuguese in the club's sporting structure changed the balance of power within the sporting department and eventually preceded Alemany's departure.
The final stage of Alemany's time alongside Joan Laporta was not particularly straightforward either. Their relationship deteriorated over differences in sporting planning and management, eventually leading to hisexit.

We now know why third-year linebacker Ty'Anthony Smith was dismissed from Texas Longhorns football on Friday evening. After Saturday's team scrimmage, UT coach Steve Sarkisian says it was for "conduct detrimental to the team."
Smith played in 28 games over the past two seasons, making one start in 2025. He finished last season with 60 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, two interceptions, three pass breakups and two forced fumbles.
His two interceptions in the Longhorns 41-27 Cheez-It Citrus Bowl win over Michigan in January seemingly set Jasper, TX product as a probable starter in 2026. But new defensive coordinator Will Muschamp typically values size more than speed in his 4-3 system and it was becoming evident Smith would not be a starter to begin the season.
After Saturday's scrimmage, Steve Sarkisian addressed the situation.
"He was dismissed," Sarkisian said. "Conduct detrimental to the team, and that's just what it is. I didn't like it. It's an unfortunate situation. I hate that. For us as a team, I hate that. He's a quality player, but I have to think about the team first."

Uncrowned has PFL Tampa live results, round-by-round updates, highlights and start time for the Cris Cyborg vs. Ketlen Vieira fight card on Saturday night at the Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida. An all-time MMA great, reigning PFL featherweight champion Cris Cyborg looks to add to her legendary résumé with what could be her swan song in the sport. For Vieira, an upset win is the only thing up for grabs after she missed weight by seven pounds on Friday, making her ineligible to claim the **** le.
Cyborg (29-2) has mostly turned her attention to the boxing world since Bellator was acquired by the PFL in late 2023, though the "grand slam" MMA champion has also successfully secured PFL **** le victories against the likes of Larissa Pacheco and Sara Collins. Much has been made about the Vieira fight being Cyborg's last in MMA, but the merger between PFL and Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions has opened the door to new opportunities for Cyborg, regardless of whether she wins or loses.
Vieira (16-5) enters her would-be PFL **** le shot in her promotional debut after parting ways with the UFC earlier this year. The longtime bantamweight contender last scored a unanimous decision victory against Jacqueline Cavalcanti in May, finishing out her UFC contract. She went 10-5 in her decade-long stint with the organization.
PFL Tampa: Cyborg vs. Vieira begins at 5:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+, with the main card starting at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.

MILAN (AP) — Brazil great Ronaldinho has landed in Italy.
Ravenna, a city more famous for its nearby beaches than its soccer team, will finally see one of the sport's most recognizable figures on Thursday in what has been dubbed "Ronaldinho day."
In a surprise announcement in June, the 46-year-old Ronaldinho signed with Italian third-division club Ravenna more than a decade after retiring.
Ronaldinho arrived by private jet at nearby Forlì Airport — about 30 kilometers (19 miles) from Ravenna — around midday local time (1000 GMT). He signed a couple of soccer ****** for airport staff before getting into a car on the runway, skipping the handful of fans that were waiting landside.
Ronaldinho was accompanied by Ravenna President Ignazio Cipriani of the Cipriani restaurant brand.

Bosa injured his knee in a Sept. 21 game against the Cardinals and underwent surgery Sept. 26.
Bosa, 28, has not had a double-digit sack season since 2023, which is the last time he played all 17 games. He has played only 17 games over the past two seasons, totaling 11 sacks.

Following Newcastle United losing to Strasbourg on penalties, I played up to the Geordie stereotype by comfort eating a Greggs (Chicken Bake in case you were wondering) and reflected on the previous two hours I'd spent seeing the start of the NUFC Matthias Jaissle Era for myself.
Many questions swirled around my head such as 'Is Dan Burn the right man to captain the club?' and…
'How long will we be able to hold on to Sean Steur for?'
But the one that hit me hardest was 'Is this the worst Premier League pre-season the club has had in recent memory?'
Now before you all grab your pitchforks and torches ready to hang draw and quarter me for yet ANOTHER doomsayer post about Newcastle United before a ball has even kicked, I want to preface this by saying that the 2025/26 season wasn't a truly awful season. Yes there were terrible moments like the poor league finish, the whimpering exit in the Champions League and the crème de la crème of Geordie humiliation in the double derby loss – but objectively, there were also a few positives such as yet another fantastic league cup run with our third semi-final appearance in four seasons.

Athens' U-shaped Panathenaic Stadium — made entirely of white marble — is getting its first systematic cleaning in more than a century.
Rebuilt for the first modern Olympics in 1896, the site is the ceremonial send-off point for the Olympic flame, including for Los Angeles 2028.
The stadium is made of the same glittering marble used on the Acropolis, making the cleanup job delicate.
The work is revealing a monument changed by time, weather and millions of visitors. Cleaners in white and blue overalls move across the stadium's 47 steep tiers with thin spray lances, using clean water at carefully controlled, low pressure. Machines vacuum up the runoff as they go.

This is the UFC 330 live blog for Mackenzie Dern vs. Gillian Robertson, the strawweight championship co-main event Saturday at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.
Dern is currently ranked at No. 7 on the MMA Fighting Pound-for-Pound chart, while Robertson is No. 6 at 115 pounds in the Global Rankings.
This is the first ******* le defense for Dern (16-5), who became champion this past October at UFC 321 where she defeated Virna Jandiroba to win a belt vacated by Zhang Weili. Dern, a decorated Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion prior to pursuing a career in MMA, struggled to find consistency early in her UFC career, but strung together three crucial wins to put gold around her waist. She can cement herself as the true queen of the strawweight division with an impressive performance against Robertson.
Canada's Robertson (17-8) looks to become the first woman from her country to become UFC champion. Before Robertson, Alexis Davis, Valerie Letourneau, and Felicia Spencer all had their shot, but none were able to finish the story. Robertson began her UFC run as a flyweight but dropped down to 115 pounds and has since won five straight fights to earn her shot. She currently holds the record for the most UFC submissions by female fighter (7).
Check out the UFC 330 live blog for Mackenzie Dern vs. Gillian Robertson below.
