Troy Aikman was a three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback with the Dallas Cowboys, and his ties to the franchise have continued long since his retirement in April 2001.
Aikman has been a color commentator and has been paired with Joe Buck for the past 25 years, but there's reportedly friction between the two after Buck has signed a new six-year contract with ESPN to continue as play-by-play man of Monday Night Football, while Aikman hasn't received a formal offer in the last year of his contract. Per Tim Cowlishaw, Aikman said on Wednesday that there's just a "50-50" chance he will be a broadcaster next season.
If Aikman were to seek other opportunities, he may have one waiting for him with the Dallas Cowboys. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones appears to love the prospect of bringing Aikman back to the organization.
Earlier this week, Jones was asked if he'd consider adding Aikman to the Cowboys' front office, to which Jones said he "could and would."
"He is a successful guy because he is one of the hardest working, most focused people that I've ever been around. Now, when you're around each other, a part of that make up can make it where you can have your ups and downs. But I think the world of him," Jones said, per Cowboys team reporter Tommy Yarrish. "I've seen his image and had it in my eyes since I walked in the NFL. He's outstanding. The answer is not that necessarily we're going to do something more direct with the team at this time, but don't rule it out, it's very possible."

Round 18 of the 2026 Formula 1 season heads to the Circuit of the Americas for the United States Grand Prix, from 23-25 October.
In the previous race in Singapore, it was a dominant weekend for Max Verstappen who qualified on pole and won for both the sprint and main race - his first victories at the Marina Bay Circuit.
The Ferraris were consistently on the Dutchman's tail for the majority of the weekend, but a poor strategy call from Lewis Hamilton meant he could only finish sixth. His team-mate Charles Leclerc finished second with Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli third.
Antonelli has his first opportunity to secure this year's world **** le in Austin. For that to happen, the Italian must win the race with Mercedes team-mate Russell ninth or lower and Hamilton finishing fifth or lower.
The clocks go back in the UK on race day so we will be on BST for the Friday and Saturday sessions but GMT for the race.

Alex Golesh crossed off another milestone last week when Auburn defeated Southern Miss, 43-8, for the first home win of his tenure. This week, he could reach another when the Tigers host Florida for the Tigers' first SEC game of his era.
Golesh stood at the podium Monday to preview the matchup with the Gators and to close the book on Auburn's Week 2 win. One topic Golesh discussed Monday was his relationship with Florida head coach Jon Sumrall. Like Golesh, Sumrall took the leap to the SEC from the American Athletic Conference after leading Tulane to an AAC championship and the College Football Playoff.
The pair have a lot in common and have bonded over their time as coaches. However, Golesh says that his friendship with Sumrall is taking a brief pause this week.
"He said we were friends? Not this week, we're not," Golesh said Monday (via ABC 33/40). "I got a ton of respect for Jon (Sumrall). We were both ****** istants in this league at the same time, and he did a great job at Troy, a high-end job at Troy. Did a high-end job at Tulane. I got a ton of respect for how he works; I got a ton of respect for who he is. I think he does it the right way. He competes like crazy. I got a lot of respect for him. This week? Don't care."
What else did Golesh say ahead of Auburn's SEC opener against Florida? Here are five key quotes from Golesh's Monday press conference.

We've got a West Coast showcase on our hands Friday, Sept. 11.
Mater Dei, ranked No. 14 in USA TODAY Sports' latest Super 25 rankings, will play host to No. 7 Centennial in a battle between two of Southern California's best. The Monarchs are unbeaten, while the Huskies have one loss, which came at the hands of No. 4 Santa Margarita.
And with two nationally ranked teams meeting this early in the season, there's plenty at stake in Southern California.
Mater Dei enters Friday night looking to continue its perfect start and make another statement against one of the nation's premier programs. The Monarchs have become synonymous with elite high school football, routinely producing Power Four recruits and NFL talent while competing for championships at the state and national levels.

Eagles news: Jonathan Greenard sounds off on 'freak' pec injury, Week 1 status appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Philadelphia Eagles expect Jonathan Greenard to be an important member of their pass-rushing attack this season, but they may want to exercise some caution in Week 1. The 29-year-old outside linebacker missed training camp with a pectoral injury and may not be ready for Sunday's home matchup versus the Washington Commanders. Greenard is grateful for the progress he is making, though.
"Eagles edge rusher Jonathan Greenard said he does not know if he will play Sunday ('That's up to (the coaches)')," Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reported on Thursday evening. "He called his pec injury 'one of them freak things' that happened while working out. 'Thank God I didn't need surgery. Obviously it's not 100 (percent), but in a pretty good spot, though, where I'm confident where I feel at.'"
If the 2024 Pro Bowl selection is going to face physical limitations right from the jump, head coach Nick Sirianni and the team medical staff could choose to keep him on the sidelines for the Washington game. Divisional battles can be tricky, particularly when they act as season openers, but the Eagles boast impressive balance on defense. At least on paper.

Eliot Baker says helping Great Britain and Ireland win the Walker Cup still has not sunk in.
The 23-year-old from Devon helped his side produce the biggest comeback in Walker Cup history to defeat the United States 13½-12½.
Baker beat experienced United States player Stewart Hagestad on the final hole of his singles match as GB&I overturned a three-point deficit going into the final individual round.
"I was in a complete state of shock for about 20 minutes until we actually lifted the trophy," he told BBC South West.
"It still kind of felt like the trophy was going to be going to them. I think just deep down it was almost what was expected with the scoreline going into the final session.

As Indianapolis Colts' wide receiver Alec Pierce continues to ramp up following offseason ankle surgery, head coach Shane Steichen provided some good news after Thursday's practice.
Pierce had been on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list for nearly all of training camp, going through the rehab process. Up to this point, he had taken part in individual work.
However, according to Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan, Steichen said that Pierce was a full participant on Thursday and took part in the team portion of practice.
On Tuesday of this week, GM Chris Ballard said that the "plan" was still for Pierce to be available for Week 1.
While we have to see how next week unfolds and what Pierce's practice status is at that time, he appears to be trending in the right direction.

The San Antonio Spurs' most boisterous fan section is getting bigger next season, but younger fans won't be part of the pack.
The Spurs Jackals will require members to be at least 18 years old for the 2026-27 season, a change that has prompted debate online over whether children should be excluded from the supporter group.
Founded with the help of Spurs star Victor Wembanyama ahead of the 2025-26 season, the Jackals are expanding their "Lair" across Sections 114 and 115 at Frost Bank Center and adding 100 members. Auditions for new members are scheduled for 9 a.m. Sept. 19.
The new age requirement has drawn criticism from some fans online.
"Bad call imo. Spurs are a family franchise," one fan wrote on X. "The super-fan section should reflect that."

It's goosebump time.
Every week it has become tradition to have an Ole Miss hype video with a former player coming back to narrate. This week it was a "kid from Largo" – Dexter McCluster.
Good ole number 22 was one of the most electrifying runners of the ball the last 25 or so years in Oxford. He rushed for more than 1,900 yards and totaled more than 3,600 total scrimmage yards during his four seasons at Ole Miss. In 2009, he became the first player in SEC history to rush for more than 1,000 yards and have more than 500 receiving yards in the same season.
McCluster also holds the single game rushing record of 282 yards against Tennessee, which if you were in attendance, was one of the more fun days of the Houston Nutt era.

MUMBAI: When the Duleep Trophy semifinals began at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru on Sunday, 19-time champions West Zone were conspicuous by their absence.

West crashed out after a 52-run defeat to North Zone in a low-scoring quarterfinal, with North posting 251 and 222, while West managed 187 and 234.

Former Mumbai first-class cricketer Amit Dani, who coached West Zone this season, believes the tournament's knockout format needs a rethink.

"I suggested to the BCCI that it should seriously consider not having knockout matches until the final in the Duleep Trophy. It's the first tournament of the season and players are often a bit rusty. Even if North Zone had been knocked out after just one game, it wouldn't have been fair on their players either," Dani told TOI.

Dani argued that the current format limits opportunities for players and selectors alike.

"The selectors wanted to watch Tanush Kotian, but they got to see him in only one match. It was a difficult wicket where the ball was gripping and turning, making batting tough. Players need more games. With the final scheduled only on Sept 6, there is room for one more league match," he said.

Despite the early exit, Dani found plenty of positives in West's campaign. He reserved special praise for Musheer Khan, whose 96 in the fourth innings was the highest score of the match.

"On that wicket, it was a top-quality knock. It wasn't easy to bat there, but Musheer showed superb temperament and skill," Dani said.

He felt Anshul Kamboj's brisk 60 in North's first innings and Ruturaj Gaikwad's run-out while batting on 66 in the chase proved decisive.

"For us, Musheer, Tanush and Tushar Deshpande stood out. Tushar bowled with real fire and intensity. I hope all three are considered for India A or the Rest of India squad for the Irani Cup," Dani added.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, along with the league's owners, offered a new proposal as part of the latest collective bargaining sessions that would create a limited free agent signing period. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images)
On Thursday, Major League Baseball made its latest proposal to the MLB Players ******* ociation for the next collective bargaining agreement. It would create an extreme shift in the free agent signing period, looking to mirror other sports by placing a strict limit on the window in which signings could take place.
As first reported by MLB.com, the five days after the World Series would still allow players and clubs to trigger or decline options. After that, free agents would be allowed to negotiate deals, but signings would only be allowed after 12 p.m. on the Monday of the first day of the Winter Meetings through December 21st. From Dec. 21st through the first Monday in February, no free agent signings or trades would be allowed. After the first Monday in February, free agent signings would then be allowed to resume.
It is not the first time that the league has sought to have a limited free agent signing period. The league proposed it as part of the negotiations of the current labor deal in place since 2021, and as recently as January, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred discussed it on WFAN, touting it as a way to promote excitement.
"I think there's going to be some more conversation about it, because I do believe that there's a marketing opportunity," Manfred said. "Let's face it, we operate in a really competitive environment. Just put entertainment, generally, to one side — just sports, right? It's really competitive. And I think that you make a mistake, particularly during the offseason, when you don't take every advantage to push your sport out in front of your fans during that down period."

Former Ohio State safety Caleb Downs has gotten plenty of reps against his fellow Dallas Cowboys teammates in training camp since being drafted into the NFL. His conclusion? Downs said one of his former Buckeyes teammates already plays at the level of Cowboys wide receivers Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens.
Appearing on "The Pivot Podcast" Aug. 21, NFL running back Fred Taylor asked how Jeremiah Smith's game compares to that of Lamb and Pickens.
"[Smith's] not going to like this, probably. He's there," Downs told Taylor.
Downs continued: "He's different, though. [Pickens'] ball skills, everything is crazy, Ceedee as a route runner and as an all-around football player. But Jeremiah has, when you say like 'freakishly athletic' and then match that with a really good ball player too. It's different," Downs said.
Both Downs and Smith finished within the top 10 of the 2025 Heisman Trophy voting. Smith was sixth and Downs ninth. They played together for two seasons at Ohio State, winning the national championship together in the 2024-25 season.

Pace bowler Brydon Carse has been removed from England's squad for the second Test against Pakistan amid an ongoing investigation into an incident that led to him being handcuffed by police.
Images that appeared on social media on Sunday showed Carse, 31, in handcuffs outside a bar in Derby on Saturday night.
It is understood he was not arrested, though the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has referred the incident to the Cricket Regulator.
The Regulator will investigate and, as a result, Carse has been removed from the squad and replaced by Sonny Baker.
It is the latest in a string of off-field incidents involving the England team - Carse has become the third player this summer to miss a Test because of a disciplinary issue.

The Cincinnati Bengals moved to 2-0 in the preseason Saturday night, taking down the Chicago Bears 27-9 at Paycor Stadium. With Zac Taylor choosing to rest Cincinnati's starters following Thursday's joint practice, the game was primarily about giving the players fighting for roster spots another opportunity to make their case. They certainly took advantage of it. The Bengals' backups held their own against a Bears team that played a number of its starters, and Cincinnati eventually pulled away for a convincing victory.
One of the biggest stories was Dohnte Meyers, who continued his remarkable push for a roster spot, while Colbie Young also made an impact with a touchdown reception. The defense did its part as well, limiting Chicago to three field goals and nine total points, with rookie Landon Robinson among those making noise up front. Evan McPherson remained automatic, hitting both of his field-goal attempts—including a 58-yarder—and all three extra points.
But here's the discussion topic: what do we make of Josh Johnson?
The 40-year-old veteran quarterback turned in one of the better performances of the night, completing 15 of 23 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. He connected with Young for a 17-yard touchdown and later found Tanner Hudson for a six-yard score, helping Cincinnati take a 17-9 lead into halftime.
Obviously, **** ody is suggesting Johnson is going to challenge Joe Burrow for the starting job. But the Bengals brought him back because of his experience, knowledge of NFL offenses and ability to step into a difficult situation if needed. And if Cincinnati is looking for a veteran No. 3 quarterback who can keep the offense functional in an emergency, Johnson's performance Saturday certainly didn't hurt his case.

MASSILLON — Up by seven with under a minute left in the second quarter and halftime looming, Smithville had the ball on offense right at the midway part of the field. By the look of things, one might ******* ume that Smithville should just take a knee and head into the half.
That was not their thinking.
Looking for an opportunity to strike, Smithville quarterback Brady Sidle dropped back and threw a deep ball down the right side that wide receiver Isaiah Lee went up and caught. Near the goal line Smithville stood. Three plays later, with a three-wide-receiver-set, Sidle rolled to his right out of the shotgun and found Brayden Beard for a touchdown.
That drive alone described just how much emphasize the Smithies are putting on their passing game this season as they came away with a 21-14 road win in Week 1 against Tuslaw.

What do you do when you achieve something you've wanted for most of your life? That question is pertinent for ****** nal this season. This group of players have done something many of them have wanted to do since they first started playing football. But for many fans, the first ****** le in a generation begs the same question. Will it all mean the same?
A fair warning: this is going to be a lot of navel gazing. This is the first real ****** le that I've wanted. When ****** nal won the league in 2004 it was the third time of my life, the second time in 3 years, and at 10, I just ****** umed it was a thing that happened, like visiting your grandparents. I've written about this before but essentially, it took until I was 13 to realize, no, ****** nal don't win the league every season…and 19 years later ****** nal finally won the league I've wanted us to win. Wanting something for 19 years is interesting in terms of development. Wanting ****** nal to win the league has seen me from ****** rty, school, university, a graduate degree, a second graduate degree, and a career. I've lived in multiple places, but the one constant–aside from some of my best and closest friends–has been wanting ****** nal to win the league. It's been achieved. How do you go again?
For the players, I think it's simple. They'll want more. Bruno Guiamares hasn't won a league ****** le. Nor has Ezri Konsa. Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, and Kai Havertz all have more to give. And the group will want to go again, to become talked about in the way that teams like Manchester United were talked about and to prove bitter, small time people, like the Athletic's Manchester City stenographer Sam Lee, wrong.
And for the fans, I think it'll be similar. First of all, ****** nal have a chance to retain a ****** le, something that hasn't been done since the 1930s. And secondly because when you win, you want more. I've been more rational this summer, calmer during other football matches because I feel satisfied. This season will be different: the conditions that led to the explosion of joy at the end of last season won't exist (unless ****** nal win the Champions League), because ****** nal aren't coming off of a 22-year gap. And maybe the feeling of 19 May means that when ****** nal drop points in November it won't feel like an existential crisis, because the pressure to win, especially after 3 second place finishes, won't be overwhelming. Perhaps that'll be the biggest difference: instead of feeling a deep need to win, to fulfill a lifelong dream, to end the ****** jokes from colleagues and the stupid second again ole ole chants, the desire to win will be because I've loved the feeling of being Champions and want to feel it again next May.

A king can get knocked around. It can lose three straight games at home. It can even trail by two runs in the seventh inning with a four-game sweep creeping closer.
But, as D'Angelo Barksdale once explained on The Wire, "The king stay the king, aight."
Jonny DeLuca helped the Rays remain atop the American League East, grounding a pinch-hit, two-run single into left field to complete a 7-6 comeback victory over the Orioles.
Getting there required Tampa Bay to overcome three separate deficits and another night in which Baltimore's lineup kept finding the seats.
Shane McClanahan made his first start as he returned from the injured list with mid-back tightness and opened with a clean first inning. Yandy Díaz walked in the bottom half and advanced to second on Jonathan Aranda's fly ball, but Gunnar Henderson's glove made the next two outs to leave him there.

The Buffalo Bills opened up the new Highmark Stadium by defeating the Carolina Panthers, 29-14, in Week 1 of the NFL preseason.
Not only was it the first game at the new stadium, but it was also the first game for Joe Brady as head coach, and the first game for Jim Leonhard calling plays for the Bills. They both looked comfortable in their new roles, and the Bills dominated for most of the day.
Here are Bills Wire's three things we learned about following Week 1 of the preseason:
Despite only seeing the field for the first two drives of the game, the offense was rolling. There were multiple explosive plays, including three passes to DJ Moore for 61 yards, two to Khalil Shakir for 41 yards, and also a 13-yard rush from James Cook III. Combine that with an off-script touchdown throw to Keon Coleman and it looked like the "everybody eats" mantra was still on full display in the Joe Brady offense, orchestrated by quarterback Josh Allen.
Second-year defensive tackle Deone Walker looked explosive and very comfortable in the new system under Leonhard. He came away with a sack, another QB hit that forced an incompletion, and a tackle for loss, all in just ten total snaps played.

Lens stunned Paris Saint-Germain with a 1-0 victory in the Trophée des Champions, securing their first silverware of the new domestic campaign despite playing much of the contest with 10 men.
PSG started on the front foot and controlled the ball, but Lens gradually grew into the contest. The hosts then struck against the run of play in the 32nd minute, with Florian Thauvin arriving at the far post to convert Matthieu Udol's delivery.
Lens' advantage was short on numbers, however, as Kyllian Antonio was dismissed six minutes before the interval for a dangerous challenge on Maghnes Akliouche. PSG almost took advantage immediately, but Désiré Doué saw his effort come back off the crossbar.
Luis Enrique's side continued to dominate possession after the restart but struggled to turn it into clear openings. Ousmane Dembélé tested Robin Risser, while Nuno Mendes also went close from distance as Lens remained disciplined.
The Parisians' hopes of finding a late leveller suffered another blow when Mendes was shown a straight red card for an off-the-ball incident involving Michal Skoras in the closing stages.
