It could be argued that, after falling to 2-4 and seeing many of the grand plans of this 2026 Dallas Cowboys team sit utterly deflated following a 23-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday night in Green Bay, coach Brian Schottenheimer was in an impossible situation. What to say to your NFL team, after a devastating loss in which you were dominated on both sides of the ball, in which any progress made on the defensive side of the ball in the second half was offset first by the defense's poor play in the first half and the offense's poor play overall?
But Schottenheimer did go to the podium for his press conference on Sunday night and was asked what he said to the team.
His message: "The effort is right, the fight is right, but mistakes are killing us. Repeating mistakes is not what we're about. But we've got to protect the football. Five turnovers in two games, not very good. Got to find the running game. That starts with myself and the offensive staff. Got to get off the field on third down on defense, whether that's penalties or losing 1-on-1s. So, we got to clean it up. Lost two games in a row, not playing well. Got to take a hard look at it. Starts with me."
It is hard to say that, given the level of talent on this team–on the offensive line, in the receiver's room, at quarterback, at running back–that mistakes alone are the problem. The Cowboys did play harder and more aggressively on Sunday in Green Bay, that was obvious. But that also raises the question of where that effort and aggressiveness was in Week 5 against the Buccaneers, as well as at other times this season?
And, it could be argued, that the tendency toward mistakes with penalties and turnovers are a symptom of poor preparation and discipline. That's part of effort, and part of fight. So, it's hard to say that it's mistakes alone that are holding the team back.

One of the 26 fighters competing Saturday at UFC 331 will walk away with an extra $50,000 in their pocket.
UFC CEO Dana White announced on Monday there will be a special bonus in play during the event in Los Angeles. In honor of hit Paramont+ series "MobLand", there will be an extra bonus. That will be on top of the regular four $100,000 Fight Night bonuses – Fight of the Night (which is earned by two fighters in the most exciting bout), and two individual Performance of the Night awards.
White didn't reveal the exact criteria for the bonus or what exactly he'll be looking for, but he did name it the "proper chaos bonus" and said it'll be up to him to determine the winner.
"Long before I did a deal with Paramount, I've been telling you guys I'm a huge fan of 'Mobland,'" White said Monday in an Instagram video. "It is one of the best shows on television. Season two premieres this Friday on Paramount+, the night before UFC 331 in LA. So for one night only, we're bringing a little proper chaos into the octagon. At UFC 331, we are unlocking the proper chaos bonus. $50,000 awarded to the fighter who I think deserves it most. UFC 331, Van vs. Pantoja is live September 19th on Paramount+, and do not forget season two, premieres this Friday. Mobland, one of the best shows on television. Knockout season one, just in time for season two."

Ryan Garcia made his point emphatically tonight, stopping Conor Benn in the second round of their highly-anticipated welterweight showdown in Las Vegas.
Garcia retained his WBC welterweight ******* le with the victory, making a successful first defense of the belt he won earlier this year.
Benn (25-2, 14 KO) and Garcia (26-2, 21 KO) both came out with a lot of tense energy in the opening round, and looked to do what they do best, as Garcia wanted to use his speed to snipe Benn while moving around, hoping to bait an aggressive Benn into walking onto a shot.
That happened in the second round, as Garcia dropped Benn with a laser right hand. It was clear that Benn's legs were pretty much gone, but he got up and tried to continue on. Garcia wasn't exactly sharpshooting, opting instead for a flurry of shots, and referee Thomas Taylor stepped in.
Zuffa commentator Max Kellerman and Andre Ward both argued that the stoppage was maybe a bit early, especially given Benn's well-regarded toughness.

It's hard to compete with the offensive fireworks of a 20-0 game, but a Navy World War II veteran got as big an ovation as anybody Sept. 11 during the game between the Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds.
Sverre Vinje, age 102, sang "God Bless America" in the middle of the seventh inning during Milwaukee's playoff-clinching performance, and you simply have to see it for yourself.
The Rockford, Illinois, resident was there at the Battle of Iwo Jima and the Battle of Okinawa, according to WIFR in Rockford. He told the station he decided to enlist after hearing about the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Vinje's hometown gave him a surprise birthday celebration in June.
He's sung the tune at sporting events before, including at games for the Rockford IceHogs hockey team.

Jessica Pegula's US Open campaign came to an end on Thursday evening.
Aryna Sabalenka played lights-out tennis to defeat the American number one 7-5, 6-2 inside the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Sabalenka hit 29 winners during the semi-final contest – 18 more than Pegula.
Pegula showered Sabalenka with praise during her post-match press conference.
"I think that's definitely – you can ask her – probably the best match she has played this year. I thought her level was extremely high," Pegula began.

After a disappointing 3-14 campaign in 2025, the Jets get their 2026 season underway on Sunday afternoon, as they travel to face their former head coach Robert Saleh and his Tennessee ***** ans.
Plenty of changes have been made during the offseason, with many of the main building blocks still in place. These changes are not guaranteed to be effective, though and, if they backfire, it won't be long until we hear the familiar refrain of "Same Old Jets" from fans and media.
Here are five storylines to watch during the regular season...
For Geno Smith to return to the Jets organization after a decade away is improbable enough; especially given the ignominious nature of his departure. However, what would it be like if he could actually succeed in his second act?
"That would be like a story in a movie, right?" Smith has said, "Kind of like one of those superhero movies."

Paddy Pimblett has opened up about rumors of him facing Ilia Topuria next.
It took just 52 seconds for Paddy 'The Baddy' to catch Benoit Saint Denis in a choke and render him unconscious. Arguably his greatest display inside the octagon against one of the division's elite, the Brit has been in limbo since July. No fight announcement, and reportedly no talks have taken place since the 28-year-old's showstopping performance in Las Vegas.
While comfortable enjoying life away from the octagon, Paddy Pimblett has **** le aspirations and is seeking the ultimate success under the UFC banner. Likely one fight away from another chance to achieve his dreams, Pimblett has been rumored to face long-term rival Ilia Topuria next.
A win in that fight would undoubtedly earn him a shot at the lightweight throne, but is the fight happening? According to Pimblett, no talks have taken place regarding any future opponents.
"I'd love to smash his head in, lad," Pimblett said about Topuria. "But we need to wait and see… Nothing [has been discussed] yet. No one's spoken to me about it, so we'll see what happens."

Lane Kiffin had little reason to be upset at halftime of his first game as LSU's football coach, with the Tigers beating Clemson by 28, but before he went back to the locker room, he had one more thing he wanted to say to the millions of fans tuning in.
At the end of his halftime interview with ESPN's Holly Rowe, and as he was walking away from the camera, Kiffin turned around to deliver a final message.
"It took everything not to say 'Imagine if we had pro players,'" Kiffin said before running off to the tunnel at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
REQUIRED READING: Lane Kiffin says 'uncertainties' led him to leave ex-NFL players off LSU roster
For the past several weeks, Kiffin has occupied a familiar role as one of college football's villains, as two of his former players at Mississippi — tight end Dae'Quan Wright and defensive lineman Zxavian Harris — have fought to become eligible to play for LSU this season after signing NFL contracts earlier this year.

Bradford Bulls have signed Widnes Vikings full-back Nathan Connell on a two-year deal from the start of the 2027 season.
The 23-year-old started his career with Salford, where he worked under Bulls head coach Kurt Haggerty, and has scored 20 tries in 26 appearances for the second-tier side this year.
"I'm buzzing to get back into Super League, which was obviously my goal," he told the club website.
"The year at Widnes has been great personally and collectively as a team but I want to get back into that full-time environment, really challenge myself and push myself out of my comfort zone to develop even more as a player."

Marc Bertrand of The Sports Hub show "Zolak and Bertrand" announced he has papillary thyroid cancer in the fourth hour of their Sept. 2 show.
The radio co-host said that his cancer is one of the most common types of thyroid cancer a person can get and that he will be getting an ablation procedure.
"You can rest **** ured; it's going to be fine," Bertrand said. "It is treatable, I am in excellent hands, and I am expecting this to soon be behind me in a short amount of time."
Papillary thyroid cancer is frequently treated successfully and is only fatal on rare occasions, the Cleveland Clinic website said.
Here's when listeners can expect to hear Bertrand on The Sports Hub 98.5 again.

The transfer window slammed shut last night, but there are always a few late deals that only get announced the following morning. Unfortunately, a new midfielder is not one of those despite some speculation today about veteran free agent Georginio Wijnaldum.
The three confirmed moves are loans for Academy standouts Landon Emenalo, 18, Shim Mheuka, 18, and Kiano Dyer, 19 — the two 18-year-olds both going to Celtic in Scotland and Dyer joining League Two side Chesterfield FC. Dyer and Mheuka already have at least one senior appearance to their name while Emenalo (son of our former sporting director Michael Emenalo) was with the first-team on our preseason tour this summer and caught the eye of many observers.
It's certainly a bold move for both Emenalo and Mheuka to be joining the Scottish champions, where they will be competing for minutes against seasoned internationals like former ****** nal left back Kieran Tierney or Denmark striker Kasper Høgh. Celtic manager Martin O'Neill spoke highly of the two teenagers upon their arrival, but we'll just have to wait and see how that translates to minutes at the top level.
"Landon is a very good player we have followed for some time, he will give us some real quality. He has many attributes which I think can benefit us, he is very quick and athletic but also very composed on the ball and while he can defend he certainly gets up the pitch into attacking positions too. I know he has a real desire to do well for us and I am sure he will, as he adds strong competition and support on our left side."
"Shim has great quality, hence Chelsea extending his contract, however I think this period of his career, spent with us, will be beneficial to him and obviously to us. I look forward to working with him, he is a player who I think can give us another great attacking dimension and I'm sure he will make an important contribution to Celtic."

Albeit they've conceded five goals from their opening two Premier League matches, Xabi Alonso seems to have Chelsea back on track after a dodgy 2025/26 campaign as the Blues have opened their season with three wins on the bounce. They beat Fulham 3-2 for their Premier League opener, topped Luton Town 2-0 in the Carabao Cup, and most recently beat Brighton and Hove Albion 4-3 in the league. While the former Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid manager will certainly be hoping for more solidity in his defense, three straight wins is not a bad start to life in the English top flight at all.
Per statistics provided by OptaJoe, Alonso has become only the fourth manager to have his side open up the season with seven or more goals in his first two Premier League matches, and that's not even counting the scored against Luton Town in the EFL Cup. The other three managers to have done this are Bobby Robson in 1999 with Newcastle United, Michael Laudrup with Swansea City in 2012, and Marcelo Bielsa with Leeds United in 2020. Alonso joins an elite list of managers in a start that's breathed an air of reassurance after there was heavy speculation as to whether or not he made the right decision to join Chelsea in hi post-Real Madrid job search.
After his unprecedented Bundesliga ****** le campaign with Bayer Leverkusen in the 2023/24 season, Alonso was a man in HIGH demand throughout Europe and he was someone who was even on Bayern's radar at the time when it became clear they'd need to replace Thomas Tuchel. The who's who of European giants were all keen to try to line him up as their next manager, but Alonso had made the decision to stay with Leverkusen for the 2024/25 season and then ultimately wound up at Real Madrid to replace Álvaro Arbeloa.
Ironically enough, the pair of Spaniards will not be competing against one another in the Premier League as Arbeloa is currently serving as Fulham manager, though his start to life in England has not gone as swimmingly as it has for Alonso as Fulham lost their opening two league matches of the season, the first of which to Alonso's Chelsea and the second of which to Sunderland.

We are finally done with preseason, and less than two weeks away from the beginning of the regular season. For the New Orleans Saints, this was a pretty busy training camp with position battles sprinkled throughout the team. Many of these battles did not have clear winners, but the Saints still must figure out who they want to bring in for the season, and here is my attempt to do that.
This was such an interesting position battle because Zach Wilson did look like the better QB in game 1, but it went back to square 1 after game 2. It was such a bad performance by both QBs that any momentum was destroyed. Then, in game 3, Rattler did look like the better QB, and I think the Saints might just go with what they're comfortable with.
Devin Neal on the IR
The RBs became such an interesting situation due to the injuries, but hopefully, mostly everyone will be healthy for Game 1. Alvin Kamara's availability is a bit up in the air, so if he hits the IR, I can see this group only being 4 players, and I do see Devin Neal on the IR. I think, given the injury luck this season, bringing 5 guys makes sense, and all of them did really well in game 3 of the preseason.

In the annual rivalry battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy, Michigan is listed as a three-possession favorite. But one national **** yst believes it'll be the Spartans who come out on top in this year's rivalry matchup.
Liam Blutman of the Brandon Walker College Football Show has pegged Michigan State over rival Michigan as his preseason biggest upset of the Big Ten for the upcoming season. Him and Walker both provided a number of predictions ahead of the season kicking off this weekend, with Blutman choosing the Spartans over the Wolverines as his biggest upset.
You can see each of Walker and Blutman's predictions for the Big Ten in the embedded social media post below:
As of earlier this month, Michigan State was listed as a 17.5-point underdog to their in-state rivals. So if they were to pull the upset of the Wolverines, it certainly would classify as one of (if not the) biggest upsets of the season in the Big Ten.
Michigan State last beat Michigan in 2021 and is looking to avoid losing five straight to the Wolverines for the first time since 2002 through 2007. Michigan State has lost three of their last four games against the Wolverines by double-digits.

John Carroll Catholic withstood a Glades Central rally before pulling away for a 42-27 victory Thursday night in Belle Glade.
The Rams improved to 2-0 on the young 2026 FHSAA season, while the Raiders fell to 0-2.
John Carroll built a two-possession lead late in the first half, but Glades Central responded with scores on either side of halftime to pull within one possession and briefly shift momentum.
The Rams answered behind senior running back Felix Jackson.
Jackson sparked a pivotal third-quarter drive with a long breakaway run before finishing it himself with a rushing touchdown to restore breathing room. He later delivered the game's biggest play, pulling up on a reverse and connecting with junior Donevon Richardson for a long touchdown pass that helped seal the win.

NEW YORK (AP) — Five-time U.S. Open champion Roger Federer returned to Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday night to play one last match for fun against longtime rival and friend Andy Roddick.
The event billed as "An Icon Returns to New York" packed the stands full of fans there to watch the 45-year-old from Switzerland face Roddick — soon to be 44 — in a prime time exhibition. Many wore hats with the distinctive "RF" logo that became commonplace in the sport during Federer's decade and a half of dominance featuring 20 Grand Slam **** les.
"It's great to be back in New York," Federer said. "I have incredible memories, obviously, of this court, of the fans here, of the city."
Federer reminisced about visiting for the first time to play juniors in 1998 and reaching the final. Three years later, his debut on center court was a straight-sets loss to Andre Agassi.

The Los Angeles Rams placed two players on injured reserve on Monday, and signed two more at the same positions to compete for a role with the team this season. The Rams placed cornerback Zech McPhearson and linebacker Keir Thomas on IR, while signing cornerback Steven Gilmore and linebacker Devean Deal to take their places.
In addition, guard Justin Dedich passed a physical and could be on a track to return to the team soon after dealing with a hand injury.
Rams signed CB Steven Gilmore and OLB Devean Deal, put CB Zech McPhearson and OLB Keir Thomas on IR and waived ILB Daniel Rickert, the team announced. OL Justin Dedich, who was on non-football injury list because of a hand injury, passed physical.
Deal played at Tulane and TCU prior to going undrafted in the 2026 draft. He signed with the Seattle Seahawks but was waived in May.
Gilmore went undrafted in 2023 after a career with Marshall. He has spent time in the NFL with the Lions and Cardinals, plus two stints with the Birmingham Stallions in the UFL. He is the younger brother of Stephon Gilmore.

Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham crash badly on their debut against Brentford: 3-0 thanks to goals from Lewis-Potter, Janelt and Kayode. A defeat that could have been even heavier, given that Igor Thiago missed a penalty with the result already beyond doubt.
The numbers tell the story of the match well: Brentford had 26 shots, 8 on target, compared to Spurs' 9 overall (they also had 4 on target, but almost all from Moore from the same position).
The first half was completely dominated by the Bees, who cut through Tottenham's defence with a fine team move: Sangaré drilled in a low cross for Lewis-Potter, who scored from the edge of the six-yard box.
The 2-0 came after Richarlison lost the ball in his own half, Jensen shot from distance, and Kinsky's poor save (made first-choice keeper despite last year's Champions League disaster) allowed Janelt to score.
Spurs had zero shots on target in the first half: they managed only two attempts, both from outside the box. A disastrous opening period, so much so that Kayode alone managed more touches in the box than the entire Tottenham team.

BOSTON (AP) — Adley Rutschman hit his first homer as a member of the Red Sox, Ranger Suarez picked up his first win since late June and Boston beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-4 on Tuesday night.
Mickey Gasper also homered for Boston and added an RBI single in the seventh as the Red Sox followed up their 16 hits in an 11-1 rout Monday night in the series opener with 13 more hits Tuesday. Eight players had at least one hit for Boston, which has won three of its last four games.
Gabriel Moreno hit a grand slam in the third for Arizona, extending his hitting streak to a career-best 12 games. The Diamondbacks have lost three straight and five of seven.
Arizona was without All-Star second-baseman Ketel Marte for the second straight night. Manager Torey Lovullo said before the game that he had been told Marte traveled to Phoenix for tests on his left knee after being a no-show for the series opener without much of an explanation. The club has placed Marte on the restricted list.
Rutschman had a two-run single in Boston's three-run first and added a solo homer that tied the game at 4 in the fourth. It was Rutschman's ninth homer of the season and first since the Red Sox acquired him in a trade-deadline deal with Baltimore earlier this month.

During Tuesday's open practice inside the new Highmark Stadium, Buffalo Bills receiver Keon Coleman was a notable non-participant because he was wearing a walking boot, and now we know the specifics of his injury. Kind of.
Per ESPN's Cameron Wolfe, the third-year receiver has been diagnosed with a sprained toe/foot:
While it's good to get a specific diagnosis, I'm not sure what to make of the "foot/toe" designation. It's also good that Brady reportedly "doesn't have much concern," although injured feet for wide receivers often nag throughout a season and unsurprisingly can sap them of much-needed explosiveness. If even remotely severe, returning to the field too quickly frequently creates prolonged issues.
We'll see if this is a very minor sprain or if it lingers into the regular season for Coleman, who desperately needs some semblance of a breakout season in Year 3 with the Bills.

After picking up her 30th career double-double with 29 points and 10 ****** ists in Indiana's 98–87 Friday night win over Dallas, Caitlin Clark set yet another impressive statistical milestone.
Clark became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 700 career ****** ists, accomplishing the statistical milestone in just 83 career games. Clark also reached 700 career ****** ists faster than any NBA player in the last 30 years.
Additionally, Clark recorded her 20th career game with 20 or more points and 10-plus ****** ists. Clark's 20 such games are 10 more than any other player in the history of the WNBA. It was Clark's 11th double-double this season and her third straight points-assists double-double.
Clark crossed off a scoring milestone in the win, too. With her 29 points, Clark moved past Candice Dupree (1,621) for the ninth-most points in franchise history. Clark has now scored 1,640 points in her career.

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers keep running into the same problem against the best team in the National League.
When they needed a big swing, they couldn't find one. When Justin Wrobleski needed a clean inning, the home run ball found him again.
And against the Milwaukee Brewers, that was enough.
The Dodgers fell 4-1 Saturday afternoon at Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium, dropping to 74-50 and putting themselves in an increasingly uncomfortable position in the National League race. Milwaukee has spent much of this season showing why it sits atop the league. On Saturday, the Brewers didn't need to overwhelm the Dodgers. They simply waited for the mistakes and capitalized on them.
For Wrobleski, the frustration was particularly difficult to hide.

JEFFERSON, TX (KTAL/KMSS) — Jefferson went 12-0 in year one under head coach Ty Taylor, but with a younger and less experienced team last season, the Bulldogs fell just short of expectations.
But with a veteran team, a new division, the Bulldogs plan to get right back on track.
It is a new season in Jefferson, but something that won't change is their motivation. Last year just before the first game of the year, Jefferson's Avery Lawson was diagnosed with leukemia. Doctors have since cleared Lawson to return to workouts.
"He'll come up here, workout a couple days, then he'll go to Dallas to get chemo. It's an honor to be beside him and play with him," said quarterback Chance Washington.
"It's crazy cause he'll text me coach I can't be there today, I'm going to get chemo and I'm just like its okay," Taylor said. "He would come out to practice with a backpack on, with medicine he was receiving via pump. It was crazy seeing him running routes, doing all these things and we know he's hurting, we know he's struggling, and he's not complaining."
