Thursday night's primetime matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Carolina Panthers had a unplanned pause during the third quarter. With the Packers holding the ball while leading 20-10, the game was interrupted for several minutes as a result of a passing drone, according to the Amazon Prime broadcast.
The unauthorized drone had breached the edge of the stadium, leading the referees to pause the game for safety reasons. Per the broadcast, the teams were told to head back to their respective sidelines while they waited for the drone to leave, with the delay lasting several minutes.
Under Federal Aviation Admisitration (FAA) rules, drones are not allowed within three nautical miles of any stadium with more than 30,000 seats, with NFL games specifically mentioned in the guidelines; Green Bay's Lambeau Field has a capacity of 81,441. The rules for drones and model airplanes apply starting one hour before the game until one hour after.
Luckily, the Packers made sure the delay was worth it: On the very next play, quarterback Jordan Love found Josh Jacobs for a touchdown reception to give Green Bay a 27-10 lead.

Excluding independents, it was the only non-conference matchup of Week 7.
For such a unique matchup this late in the season, it was bound to produce a unique result: South Florida defeated Kent State, 29-2.
Kent State became the first FBS team to score exactly two points since UMass did in a 20-2 loss to Florida Atlantic on Nov. 20, 2020.
The Golden Flashes led 2-0 after the first quarter Saturday night in Tampa. Immediately after a turnover on downs at the South Florida 3-yard line, Kent State managed to salvage some points through its defense. True freshman defensive end Dion'Dre Taylor stuffed USF running back D.J. Crowther in the end zone to hand the Golden Flashes their first lead against a non-conference FBS opponent since Sept. 9, 2023, when they led Arkansas 3-0.
It appeared as if Kent State would build on that early advantage. After the safety, the Golden Flashes drove down to the USF 1-yard line. Kent State lined up in a tush push formation, attempting a quarterback sneak to extend the lead. However, an unclean center-quarterback change left the ball on the floor, and former 5-star defensive end recruit C.J. Hicks scooped it up and ran 99 yards for his first career touchdown.

Through 30 minutes, Kentucky was right with Alabama. In fact, the Cats went to the locker room leading 17-13 with tangible hope that they could pull off the upset.
However, Alabama came out and put the clamps down in the second half.
Backed by four second-half touchdowns, the Crimson Tide completely flipped the momentum of the game and held the Cats to under 100 yards of offense in the second 30 minutes. It was just part of a 45-17 win that handed the Cats their first loss of the season and Will Stein his first loss as a head coach.
Let's take a look at four things that stand out from Saturday's game at Kroger Field.
They may not be the Crimson Tide of 2009-2020, but this is still a really good Crimson Tide team. Really good teams overcome two early turnovers, which is what Alabama did on Saturday. In addition, really good teams just keep coming at you. That's also what Alabama did on Saturday.

The Tennessee ****** ans were back at practice ahead of a Week 1 game against the New York Jets this Sunday at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. Kickoff is scheduled for noon CDT.
At practice, Tennessee welcomed their latest addition, former Indianapolis Colts cornerback Jaylon Jones, who was reunited with defensive coordinator Gus Bradley in Nashville. That familiarity should help him get up to speed quickly and could lead to early playing time.
Outside of welcoming Jones to the team, the ****** ans had almost a full complement of players take part, with only linebacker Cedric Gray sitting out as he navigates the NFL's concussion protocol. With every passing day, it becomes unlikely that Gray will be able to go against the Jets, which could give James Williams or Anthony Hill Jr. extra snaps in the season opener.
Here is the ****** ans' full Thursday injury report:

Turkish Airlines will become Liverpool's front-of-shirt sponsor from the start of the 2027-28 season in a £300m deal.
The five-year contract is worth in excess of £60m a season, an increase on the current £50m-per-season deal with Standard Chartered, which has been the club's main partner since 2010 and is the existing front-of-shirt sponsor.
Liverpool believe the agreement with Turkish Airlines is the the most valuable front-of-shirt-only commercial deal in Premier League history.
Both ***** nal and Manchester City have deals with Emirates and Etihad Airways respectively, but those also involve stadium naming rights.
In February, Liverpool announced record revenues of more than £700m for the most recent financial year and were the highest-placed Premier League club in the Deloitte Football Money League.

TROY - The RPI football team's defensive unit could not have hoped for a better start to the 2026 season in Saturday's Transit Trophy Game against WPI.
WPI possessed the ball for nearly 44 minutes, but the RPI defense turned in a tremendous effort and sparked the Engineers to a 35-7 rout at ECAV Stadium in Troy.
"We did well on all phases of the defense," RPI sophomore defensive back J.T. Walker said. "If the D-line wasn't there, linebackers were there. If the linebackers weren't there, the DBs were there."
RPI held WPI to 294 yards of total offense and recorded five sacks, including two by junior lineman Jack Chappa, and an interception by Walker.
Engineers (1-0) junior quarterback Micah Balzarini made his first career start on Saturday. He completed 8 of 17 passes for 221 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Notre Dame football will get its season started this weekend, but will have to wait for most teams to play before seeing the field themselves.
The Irish start off with the Shamrock Series game, against Wisconsin in Lambeau Field, which may or may not be an advantage for the "home" team. Luckily Notre Dame travels well, its a long weekend also so many fans well head up North for the 2026 opener.
There is plenty on the line for Notre Dame, mostly a trip to the College Football Playoff, and starting the season off on the right foot will be a step in that direction. First, we'll see a decent slate of Week 1 games, as the staff here at Fighting Irish Wire of Tim Healey, Sunny Verma, Kevin Smith and Michael Chen make their predictions for the best games of the real opening weekend along with how they each see Notre Dame's contest against Wisconsin turning out.
Date: Sat., Sept. 5th, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. CDT on CBS
Healey - Ducks in a walk. Boise State can be frisky, but Oregon is a true national ******* le contender.

The first game of the 2026 season has finally arrived!
Arizona opens its latest campaign at Casino Del Sol Stadium against NAU, facing the Lumberjacks for the third time in four seasons. The Wildcats won the most recent meeting 22-10 in 2024, and this time around are 32.5-point favorites, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
How will this first game go for the UA? Our staff makes its predictions.
The first few games of the year are always tough to predict when it comes to score. Fortunately, NAU has one game under its belt to give some idea. The Lumberjacks' 34-27 win conference win last week came against an Eastern Washington team that went 5-7 overall and 4-4 in the Big Sky last year. NAU is projected to finish fourth in the league this year, four spots above EWU. The 'Jacks are 20th in the AFCA FCS Coaches Poll and 22nd in the Stats Perform FCS Top 25. So, they should be good enough to pull off at least a couple of scores against the Wildcats. Last season, they opened the season with a 38-19 loss at ASU. If Arizona can outperform those numbers on both sides of the ball, it will be a successful start to the season. The 33.5-point spread seems a bit large, though. The last time NAU lost by that much to either UA or ASU was 2023 when Arizona won 38-3.
I expect Arizona to control all three facets of the game against an NAU team picked to finish in the upper third of the Big Sky. The biggest question for me will be how long Arizona keeps Noah Fifita in there. If the game is remotely close in the third quarter, then I imagine Fifita's day lasts a little longer than it otherwise should. I'm looking forward to seeing which of the new receivers stands out. Defensively, I hope to see the turnover sword come out at least a couple of times.

Professional golfer Tiger Woods pleaded no contest to reduced charges of reckless driving and refusal to submit to a lawful test on Wednesday, Sept. 2, in a plea deal in his DUI case in Martin County Circuit Court in Florida.
Woods' driver's license was suspended for five years as part of the agreement, and he agreed to pay $1,500 in fines.
Woods' SUV collided with a trailer being hauled by a truck on a busy Florida roadway on March 27, causing his vehicle to roll onto its side.
Woods told police responding at the scene that he had looked down at his phone and adjusted his radio, failing to see the vehicle in front of him slowing down.
But officers at the scene said Woods was "sweating profusely," according to an arrest affidavit.

La Liga giants Barcelona have on Tuesday announced the departure of another highly-regarded young member of the club's reserve team ranks.
This comes amid confirmation of Toni Fernández taking his talents to Italy, to link up with Serie A outfit Venezia.
18-year-old Toni's name had emerged as a prominent one in the transfer chatter surrounding Barcelona in the buildup to deadline day. After the starlet was forced to face up to his first-team path being yet further blocked by the signings of Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi, Toni and his entourage began seeking out the best landing spot to further his development.
From here, the aforementioned Venezia entered the scene, promising the versatile attacker a prominent place in their senior setup this coming season.
And such promises evidently proved enough to convince Toni of the merits of a move to the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo. As per a statement across Barcelona's website and social media platforms on Tuesday evening:

The drama between the Arizona Diamondbacks and All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte has been well-documented and stems from the veteran slugger skipping a contest against the Boston Red Sox earlier this month.
Marte didn't show up at Fenway Park and the Diamondbacks had to play without him. Arizona placed him on the restricted list and then he was placed on the Injured List. On Monday, Marte was set to return and bat fourth for Arizona. The Diamondbacks currently hold a Wild Card spot and would be in the playoffs if the season ended today. Arguably, that's the biggest reason why Marte is returning this season in the first place.
It's been national news for weeks now that Marte skipped the contest. You don't see things like this often. But he's now back and on Monday he broke his silence. Marte was asked what happened in Boston. He called it a moment of "frustration."
"A moment of frustration. I'm the type of person that when something's going on in my life, I don't like to talk about it, so that's kind of what was going on," Marte said.

Croke Park's storied history contains some of Irish sport's most seminal moments.
Primarily a stadium for Gaelic games, there have been occasions when other sports graced the hallowed turf and on 19 July 1972, punches replaced points as Muhammad Ali took on Al 'Blue' Lewis.
When Katie Taylor makes her final career ringwalk on Saturday with the undisputed light-welterweight crown on offer against Flora Pili, 54 years will have passed since 'The Greatest' starred at the since redeveloped venue.
While Ali was the main attraction in 1972, it was Belfast's Paddy Maguire who boxed last on that balmy Wednesday evening, coming through on points against France's Guy Caudron.
"It's hard to believe it has taken so long for boxing to return to Croke Park," Maguire told BBC Sport NI.

The Lions need to finalize their initial 53-man roster by 6 p.m. ET on Sunday. There's tough decisions to be made at wide receiver, tight end, along the defensive line, at linebacker and in the secondary.

"Did everything we asked them to do and we may have to say that we're going to have to move on. That's a sick feeling and I hate that for those guys. Like I told them, all I can give them is my respect. So, look, that's hard, but I appreciate them, I appreciate everything they did," Campbell said.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes will put their minds together and finalize Detroit's initial 53-man roster today. As news of cuts breaks, follow along here to stay up to date on how the Lions' 53-man roster is forming:

After the 2-1 victory over Red Bull Bragantino this Saturday (29) at MorumBIS in São Paulo (SP), in the 25th round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship, Gustavo Santana spoke in the mixed zone. At 20 years old, the "Made in Cotia" forward scored his first goal for Tricolor's professional team.
"I received a lot of support from the coaching staff and my teammates, which gave me a lot of confidence. I'm here to help, that's what I've always done. I'll always give everything for São Paulo and for the fans who came here and put on a beautiful show," said the number 43.
The forward also commented on the opportunity to start the match.
"We work for this and look forward to this moment a lot. Thank God I was calm for today's game, focused on helping São Paulo. It's very rewarding, and I try to make the most of these moments. It's an honor to have this support and this confidence from the coaching staff," he added.

Ex-Warriors 4-time champion Klay Thompson details why he picked the Miami Heat over Lakers originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Miami Heat had their eyes set on Klay Thompson for quite a while, even when it was unclear what the Dallas Mavericks were going to do with him. However, a resolution between the Mavericks and Thompson was eventually reached, allowing both sides to move on.
The four-time NBA champion was finally a free agent after agreeing to a buyout with Dallas. Thompson quickly signed a contract with the Heat.
"The Heat on Sunday could celebrate not only the addition of five-time All-Star guard Klay Thompson, but also the fact that the organization emerged from the transaction with more flexibility than some might have expected. Because Thompson agreed to a first year salary of $5.6 million, that left the Heat with the ability to fill both the 14th and 15th roster spots," Miami Herald's Barry Jackson wrote.
The Heat won the battle over the Los Angeles Lakers, as Thompson was highly interested in joining either team.

The Miami Heat had their eyes set on Klay Thompson for quite a while, even when it was unclear what the Dallas Mavericks were going to do with him. However, a resolution between the Mavericks and Thompson was eventually reached, allowing both sides to move on.
The four-time NBA champion was finally a free agent after agreeing to a buyout with Dallas. Thompson quickly signed a contract with the Heat.
"The Heat on Sunday could celebrate not only the addition of five-time All-Star guard Klay Thompson, but also the fact that the organization emerged from the transaction with more flexibility than some might have expected. Because Thompson agreed to a first year salary of $5.6 million, that left the Heat with the ability to fill both the 14th and 15th roster spots," Miami Herald's Barry Jackson wrote.

Leeds United Women began their FA WNL Cup campaign with an important three points in Group T of the competition, beating Halifax Women away from home.
With the scores level at 2-2, Chloe Dixon scored a superb strike to put the Whites ahead, which was enough to seal three points on the night.
Speaking after the match, Dixon gave her thoughts on the win.
"I think tonight it was nice for everyone to be getting minutes and involved in it.
"You can try different things, you can get your rotations in, and it's a bit less pressure than the League, I'd say. So it's a nice way to play fluently.

SAN FRANCISCO – Cincinnati Reds starter Brady Singer was to be evaluated again Wednesday, Aug. 26, after suffering an apparent bruise on the right side of his rib cage sliding after an infield chopper in the sixth inning the night before.
Singer, who stayed in the game after the play but exited two batters later at 91 pitches with dangerous lefty-hitting Rafael Devers up, said after the game he thought he was "fine."
Singer is the only member of the Reds rotation who has not missed a scheduled start the past two seasons, having pitched through minor injuries, including a blister and bruised foot earlier this season.
"I just jammed my ribs a little bit, but I felt fine," Singer said. "It was just kind of grabbing. I landed a little weird."
Singer opened the game with two wild looking pitches, the second of which hit Giants leadoff man Drew Gilbert, but then settled down to allow just two runs until a fifth-inning home run by Devers.

I asked myself a really tough question on Sunday. What am I looking forward to more, the start of the Notre Dame football season or the end of the Notre Dame football offseason? A philosophy major out there will probably tell me that the two can't be separated, but of course they can.
We don't need to debate that question, but I'm positive we can all agree that we are ready for the Notre Dame offseason to be over.
Even though all offseasons can kind of suck for one reason or another, this offseason in particular has been somewhat torturous. It has been almost 9 months since the Irish last played a football game, and EVERYTHING has run its course. Usually I bask in the fun of the offseason, but maybe the podcast hiatus took more joy out of that time of year than usual.
Notre Dame being left out of the playoff was rough enough, but watching Indiana and Miami play for the national championship was an incredibly jagged pill to swallow.
The backlash for skipping the bowl game.
The "Freeman to the NFL" rumors.
The USC scheduling saga.

Fresh off winning Super Bowl MVP honors last season, Kenneth Walker III is embarking on the next stage of his career after signing a three-year, $45 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. And from what we've learned during the preseason so far, it seems he hasn't missed a step in making the transition to his new team.
Of course, we didn't see Walker in action during the Chiefs' preseason opener, as he was kept on the sidelines. But the intel coming out of preseason activities for the franchise indicates that he is looking every bit the elite running back the Chiefs hoped he would be when signing him.
According to Jesse Newell, who covers the Chiefs for The Athletic, Walker has been making quite the impact during training camp. His reporting indicates that Walker is getting the ball "all the time," is being used as the main running back in red-zone situations, and is the "primary target" in the franchise's screen game.
Walker had what was arguably the best season of his career last year since his debut in the league in 2022, rushing for 1,027 yards and five touchdowns, tying his career-high of 4.6 yards per carry while starting all 17 regular-season games for the Seahawks. He also tallied 282 receiving yards while averaging 9.1 yards per reception.
Walker also had a breakout performance in Super Bowl LX, tallying a season-high 135 rushing yards while adding 26 receiving yards, helping the Seahawks capture the top prize in the NFL. It was the most rushing yards in a Super Bowl since Super Bowl ******* II, which was also the last time a running back was named Super Bowl MVP before Walker earned the award.

Aug. 21—PULLMAN — Washington State sophomore placekicker Jack Stevens' brother, Drew Stevens, did not exactly rush to inform his family about an exciting career development.
Instead, the parents of the newly named starting kicker for the NFL's Washington Commanders found out on social media, Jack Stevens said.
"I opened the family chat like two days ago and it was blowing up after practice, and (there were) 24 pictures (sent)," Jack Stevens said. "My dad sent posts that he saw on Twitter. It was crazy."
The Cougar kicker's older brother, Drew, just wrapped up a standout career at Iowa, where in four years he set the Hawkeyes' records for field goals made (76), the most 50-plus-yard field goals (12) and the longest field goal (58 yards). His 352 points are the second most in school history.
As an undrafted rookie, Drew Stevens edged veteran Jake Moody for the Commanders' kicking job on Tuesday.

Since arriving at Manchester City in the summer of 2024, Savinho has made 84 appearances, scoring seven goals and contributing sixteen **** ists. Those statistics do tell the story of Savinho as a City player. The Brazilian international needs to improve his end product to become the player he promises to be on the right or left wing. Savinho is blessed with tremendous ability to beat a man and is quick, but has that one obvious, and perhaps fatal, flaw in his game. Ever since last summer, Savinho has always seemed likely to attempt to take that next step away from Manchester City. That is exactly what will transpire as Savinho will finally get his desired move to Tottenham.
All summer it has been well known that Savinho has wanted to leave Manchester City to sign for Tottenham. He has now got his wish. Fabrizio Romano has reported that Tottenham have finally reached a verbal agreement with City to sign Savinho. Romano reports that Tottenham will pay over £75 million to sign the Brazilian international who will travel to London to complete his medical with Spurs imminently.
Ciaran Wiseman reports for TalkSport that Tottenham will pay £85 million to sign Savinho. That will be a club record sale for Manchester City which represents great business for the club.
Savinho may well kick on at Tottenham and become the player he always promised to be under Roberto De Zerbi. As mentioned countless times before and above, Savinho has the tools to become an elite winger. However, at Manchester City, it never seemed like that would happen for him. Too often, Savinho flattered to deceive for City and a summer transfer is the best move for all concerned. That has finally occurred and Savinho's move to Tottenham does represent great business for Manchester City.
Securing a club record sale for a winger who hasn't quite broken through at City is fantastic. Manchester City can now reinvest that money in the areas of their squad that need improving. They've sold a player that didn't want to be at the club and an end to a saga that has run over two summer has finally arrived.

What a disappointing game.
And what a disappointing road trip.
This is one of those instances where I struggle to come up with something to say.
Cody Bradford was okay. He gave up a two run home run to Lawrence Butler that I thought was foul while watching it, but which apparently wasn't. Those were the only two runs he gave up in four innings.

Liverpool have reportedly made their first moves towards a massive prospect from Argentina. Keep an eye on this one.
Liverpool are plainly trying to snap up the best youngsters from South America where they can. The Reds completed a deal for Samuel Martinez this summer, one of the biggest prospects in Colombia.
And we've seen they try (and largely fail) to do the same with Brazil's star talents over the last few years. Now they've got their eyes on an Argentinian prospect - one who could be among the best to come out of the country right now.
That's according to Sport Witness, who claim Liverpool are eyeing 16-year-old Thiago Veron. The player, who is at Independiente typically plays as an attacking midfield but can also play on the wing.
Now, Veron is very young and unproven at this stage. The report is clear to get across that Liverpool aren't pushing to sign the teenager just yet, nor have they started any negotiations with anyone.
