Arsenal are preparing to launch negotiations over an extended deal for first-choice goalkeeper David Raya despite the Spaniard recently admitting he would like to play in his homeland one day. Meanwhile, neither Barcelona nor Real Madrid are expected to make an imminent move for the 31-year-old shot-stopper in upcoming transfer windows.
According to Football Insider, the north London hierarchy want to tie their Spanish custodian down beyond his current 2028 expiration date to fend off any future interest from La Liga. Speculation linking him with Spain's two biggest clubs emerged after he told Spanish media last week that he hopes to play in his native top flight eventually. However, the goalkeeper insisted in the same interview that he remains content at the Emirates Stadium.
Having silenced initial sceptics following his move from Brentford to establish himself as the Premier League's standout goalkeeper in recent seasons, Raya registered his fifth clean sheet in eight top-flight outings against Everton last weekend before narrowly losing out on Monday's Yashin Trophy to international team-mate Unai Simon.
Explaining why a switch to Spain is unlikely soon on the Transfer Insider podcast, journalist Pete O'Rourke said: "If he were to leave ******* nal, there's no immediate opening for one of the big boys in Spain right now as well. Barcelona have got Joan Garcia, and it looks like Courtois is going to sign a new contract at Real Madrid as well, so I don't see any opening for David Raya right now.
"The player is happy at ******* nal, and obviously ******* nal are very happy with him, so I think any potential move back to his native Spain will be probably on the back burner for a while just yet."

As I write this on Sunday night, all but one Week 1 game is comfortably in the books, and as is always the case on opening weekend, we encountered a slew of surprises. Some promising, others concerning and many that may have affected our outlook on a player or an offense. We're all doing our best not to overreact to one Sunday (and one Wednesday and one Thursday), but some of these shifting perspectives are bound to have permanent ramifications.

With that in mind, I've compiled the (first) full weekly fantasy football stock report. These are the most notable risers and fallers heading into Week 2.
Ankle sprain, schmankle schprain (sorry, editors). Ashton Jeanty looked incredible on Sunday and had absolutely no limitations on his workload. He handled 23 carries and had six catches, totaling 147 yards while scoring twice through the air. He totaled 74 rushing yards after contact and scored both of his receiving touchdowns from the 13-yard line. Translation? The second-year RB's upside is arguably somewhere in the Christian McCaffrey stratosphere. The one caveat to all of this, of course, is that he did it against the Miami Dolphins. We'll see whether things change in Week 2 against the Chargers. But for now, Jeanty looks fully healthy and completely dominant, and anyone who got him at the "ankle sprain discount" is doing cartwheels.
At just 61% rostered on Yahoo, Jalen ******* er was closer to being a waiver-wire player than a fantasy stud. Not anymore. The third-year wideout led the Panthers with nine targets, eight catches, 138 receiving yards and two touchdowns, finishing as the WR1 overall on Sunday (29.8 fantasy points). He ran the second-most routes on the team (32), behind Tetairoa McMillan (36), and averaged 13.8 air yards per target and 4.31 yards per route run. He made a very strong opening argument to be a 1B to McMillan's 1A this season. And while all of Carolina's numbers were inflated by this barn-burner of a game with Chicago, ******* er had flashed late last year and looks like a legitimate third-year breakout candidate. He'll be among the most-added players on waivers this week (despite starting at 61%) and should be at least a FLEX consideration until further notice.

Left-wing podcast host Angie "Pumps" Sullivan dished that there is a guaranteed way to prove a man supports President Donald Trump: His ******* ual prowess — or lack thereof.
Sullivan revealed on the Tuesday episode of I've Had It that while she is not speaking from firsthand experience, she has not heard from her single friends about one good ******* ual encounter with MAGA men.
"This is anecdotal, but in my friend group that's out there in the wild dating, with 100% returns on every person that I know that has slept with somebody in MAGA — like didn't know they were MAGA or kinda, was on the back burner or kinda knew but was denying it — horrible in bed. Horrible," Sullivan said. "100% returns on that."
"I know," co-host Jennifer Welch said, without going into detail about her research.
Welch continued, "Did you inquire about the ******* size, considering you're a size queen?"

Of all the eye-popping artwork dotting Black Rock City — the ad hoc Nevada desert home of the legendary Burning Man festival — as well as this year's massive sandstorms, which caused a temporary gate closure, and the triumphant return of the festival's Orgy Dome, there's one story that has towered above all others coming out of the wild desert festival this year: reality TV star Bethenny Frankel's unexpected and very expensive foray into Burnerland.
The entrepreneur, philanthropist and former "golden era" castmember of The Real Housewives of New York — and since then, the deeply entertaining center of multiple reality shows from producers who recognize this woman is always the main character — has been posting her experience on the famed playa to her TikTok page. Possibly defying the festival's rules around posting to sponsored personal pages, Frankel is documenting her brave walk among tens of thousands of Burners — a subculture that has apparently declined in numbers, as inflation crept in and the scene morphed into a "sausage fest of aging Millennials" and solipsistic influencers.

The University of North Carolina's football program has struggled, as they currently hold a losing record under head coach Bill Belichick. Amid the losses, UNC general manager Michael Lombardi has resigned after being placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. And recently, the current defensive coordinator Steve Belichick is also under investigation on suspicion of drug use while on the job. ESPN ****** yst Kevin Clark gives his take on the UNC saga as the team is only one game into their 2026 season.
On the latest episode of First Take, Clark was asked, "Should UNC already regret hiring Bill Belichick?" to which he gave a brazen response, ripping Belichick and the organization as a whole for their incompetence.
"Yeah, yes, and part of it, there's so much that goes into it; part of it is that the ceiling is eight wins, nine wins for Bill Belichick in college football. They simply don't have the resources; they don't want to put the resources towards building a playoff team. And I think that there was maybe an expectation that this was going to be old college football, and that Belichick could go into a living room and say 'look at my Super Bowl rings' and get five stars. That is no longer the case, if it ever was the case," Clark said.
"This is UNC football; it's always going to be on the back burner. So what this has done, this era in the last two years, has brought embarrassment to the university; the Michael Lombardi saga has brought more embarrassment to it, and now we have the Steve Belichick investigation; it's not gonna work from a football perspective and hasn't worked from an on-field perspective… Yes, they should regret hiring Bill Belichick, and yes, I think it will end sooner rather than later."
As the 1-0 Tar Heels try to look past the off-field turmoil, their next matchup will be a home opener against the East Tennessee State Buccaneers on August 12th.

Former NFL player Emmanuel Acho came to Tua Tagovailoa's defense after the Miami Dolphins quarterback became the subject of a social media controversy involving an alleged burner account. Acho urged critics to ease up, suggesting the situation may have been the result of someone close to the quarterback managing his online presence rather than Tagovailoa praising himself.
The controversy began after a social media account ******* ociated with Tagovailoa appeared to post supportive comments about the quarterback. Fans quickly questioned whether the Dolphins star was operating a burner account, creating another viral NFL discussion centered on athletes and their sometimes complicated relationship with social media.

Acho offered a different explanation for the unusual exchange. He suggested that a family member, possibly Tagovailoa's wife, could manage the quarterback's social media accounts and may have forgotten to switch back to a personal profile before posting praise.
The former NFL linebacker noted that athletes increasingly rely on relatives, representatives and other trusted people to help manage their social media activity. The arrangement can provide distance from criticism and online harassment, allowing players to protect their mental health while maintaining an active public presence.

One of the strangest scheduling anomalies in all of sports is about to have its swan song this weekend in college football's befuddling and charming Week 0.
The fact that a Week 0 even exists is quintessential college football in that it couldn't really exist anywhere else and make any sense at all. However, it has been alive for years, allowing a select handful of teams an opportunity to begin the regular season a week before everybody else. The weekend is open to anyone playing an international game (TCU-UNC in Dublin, Ireland) and anyone playing an away game at Hawaii to compensate for their extra travel. The NCAA can also provide a waiver for games, although that is rare. This season, it was given to NC State and Virginia as they were originally scheduled to play their season opener in Brazil before it was moved back stateside.
However, 2026 will be the last year that the sport enjoys an appetizer before the regular season truly kicks off in full. The FBS Oversight Committee approved legislation on Friday that will move the calendar up one week so that all teams begin during the week that has served as Week 0.
"Earlier this year, the FBS Calendar Subgroup presented recommendations to the committee to amend the regular season and the off-campus recruiting model," the NCAA briefing said. "In response to those recommendations, a new FBS first-contest date has been adopted and will take effect in the 2027 season. The season will begin on the Thursday of what is now designated Week 0 and end on the Saturday after Thanksgiving."
This year's Week 0 consists of eight games. And while none of them are true barnburners, it's a nice, gentle way to start the regular season. And with American fans starved for any kind of football that matters, we will gladly sit down and watch New Mexico State travel to Florida State in primetime.

Left-hander Andrew Sears is reportedly on his way to Detroit. The Tigers 11th ranked prospect on our preseason rankings, Sears has shown out in two Triple-A appearances since being promoted from Double-A Erie back on August 11. The X account Dr. Degenerate, apparently the burner account for someone with good sources, reported on Saturday that Sears is being promoted to Detroit. That account has nailed several recent promotions in the Tigers' system. The report has been circulated by both Emily Waldon as well as the MiLB Central official account on X, and Chris McCosky of the Detroit News confirmed that Sears is with the team in Kansas City and will be used as a bulk reliever in Sunday's bullpen game.
The 23-year-old Sears, he'll turn 24 on August 30, was the Tigers 10th round pick in the 2023 draft out of Connecticut. That makes him the first pitching prospect drafted by Scott Harris to reach Detroit, and another later round success story to go with Brett Callahan. Sears received a $167,500 bonus to sign, just barely over the base bonus of $150,000.
Sears made his full season pro debut in 2024 at the Low-A Lakeland level, where his strikeout rate was good and he was rarely hit hard, but had some control issues. Those were resolved by 2025, and the southpaw continued to rack up good strikeout numbers and prevent home runs while throwing a lot more strikes for High-A West Michigan. Left-handers often thrive in A-ball and then struggle as more advanced hitters get used to seeing more southpaws against them, but Sears didn't miss a beat moving into the upper levels. He closed out the season with a nice run over six starts at Double-A Erie. The hope this year was that Sears would refine his changeup and overall command a bit more, reach Triple-A and become available in the second half of this season to help the major league club.
Ultimately, this all came to pass, but it was a wild ride for Sears this year. He had a bone spur fracture in his throwing elbow to begin the season, and spent a few months recovering and rehabbing, returning to Erie in mid-June. He made nine starts for the SeaWolves, compiling a 2.57 ERA/3.44 FIP combination, with a 24.3 percent strikeout rate and a 7.6 percent walk rate. In two starts for the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens, Sears has been a strikeout machine, punching out 41.2 percent of hitters he's faced. His walk rate has ticked up to 11.8 percent, but he also hasn't allowed a home run.
We've pegged Sears for two seasons now as the next lefty swingman for the Tigers. He can start, but he makes plenty of sense as a long reliever and spot starter who also works out of the bullpen. His deception, built on a bit of funky, crossfire delivery and a quick arm from a low slot, makes him tricky to deal with, and his stuff has routinely played up compared to the raw stuff metrics. The big task this season was to refine his changeup and get to using the offspeed more often to take pressure off his good sinker-slider combination, and

The opening Friday night of the high school football season is in the books, and there was no shortage of outstanding games around the state.
Here's a few notes and highlights from some of those games.
Snow Canyon's 64-62 triple-overtime win over Spanish Fork on Friday night was an absolute barn burner — the definition of an instant classic.
"It felt a lot more like a basketball game than a football game, that's for sure," said first-year Snow Canyon coach Zach Tauteoli. "They would take a punch, we'd feel that punch and then kind of punch back, and then we just ended up on our end kind of a little more resilient."
The teams combined for 1,014 yards, most of those through the air — 784.

Italian Luciano Darderi fuelled himself with an expresso shot during a mid-match changeover in a 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 victory over Nuno Borges on Saturday to reach the Montreal Masters quarter-finals.
It was not the first time Darderi had downed his national rocket fuel to fire up the afterburners in a tight situation on court.
Darderi will bid for the semis against Brandon Nakashima, whose match with Arthur Rinderknech was interrupted for nearly two hours with the final set level at 4-4.
Players were taken off court due to rain and the threat of lightning, returning to finish after almost two hours.
Nakashima withstood a love game from his French opponent but broke serve a game later before finishing a 7-6 (7/4), 5-7, 7-5 victory on his first match point thanks to 22 unforced errors from Rinderknech.

The Cowboys haven't, but they also won't close the door on it.
"We wouldn't rule it out, but, you know, we'd also be very particular in who we would bring in as a partner in terms of that," Cowboys executive Stephen Jones told 105.3 The Fan in Dallas on Friday. "But, yes, it was designed when we passed that rule that you could have, you know, private equity involved in the NFL, and you could have minority partners, you know, it made sense for a lot of different reasons, and every owner who chooses to go that path can speak for themselves in terms of why they're doing it, but it does — I think it's a great tool. I think it makes the league stronger personally, and, certainly, it's not something we would ever totally rule out. But I wouldn't say anything's on the front burner, either."
The valuation would surely be massive. They could possibly make upwards of $1.5 billion for only 10 percent of the team. And it wouldn't change anything about their control of the organization.
But it also would result in 10 percent of the future profits going to the partner. Depending on how much the Cowboys are clearing after all expenses, it could be better over the long haul to retain all of the equity — and to keep all of the profits.

Georgia has not been involved in many eye-catching recruiting headlines this cycle, but it is on pace to sign another rock-solid group of prospects this winter.
The Bulldogs won't be in the mix for a top-five finish this time around, but they do have the No. 14 class in the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings, as of July 31. UGA has 20 total commits in its class, including a pair of five-stars and eight more blue-chippers.
Head coach Kirby Smart and Co. won out for the nation's No. 1 running back in February. McKeesport (Pa.) Five-Star Plus+ RB Kemon Spell backed off his first commitment to Penn State last fall, worked through his process and eventually chose Georgia after an impactful trip to Athens.
$19.99 gets you a FULL year of On3 | Rivals national coverage
He remains the top-ranked burner in the cycle and figures to be an instant-impact back for the SEC program in 2027. Denver (N.C.) East Lincoln tight end Jaxon Dollar is the other five-star in the mix thus far.

Recruiting may not be on most people's minds with the college football season set to begin in about five more weeks, but Matt Campbell and his staff don't have the luxury of putting it on the mental back burner. They've done a tremendous job of rebuilding Penn State's 2027 recruiting class, while also keeping their eyes further towards the future.
The Nittany Lions already have a top-three Class of 2028 and now they could be getting their hands on another intriguing prospect from that group. Penn State has been recruiting four-star wide receiver Owen Johnson for much of this year, and in a recent interview with NittanyCentral, he spoke about their chances of landing him.
"Penn State definitely has my attention," is how Johnson began his response when asked about which teams he was focused on. Some of the other schools the team will be battling for Johnson's commitment are Nebraska, Notre Dame, and UCLA, but he confirmed that the Nittany Lions are in his top five.
The team has a serious need for wide receivers, with the position seriously lacking in the next two recruiting classes. They did have one of the best pass catchers in next year's group of prospects, four-star receiver Khalil Taylor, but Penn State was unable to land him a second time.
Perhaps the most important piece of information when it comes to Johnson is that he hails from Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania. The Blue and White have had a difficult time keeping recruits in-state, but they have a great opportunity to change their fortunes here. Johnson is clearly keen on playing for the team and becoming one of the crown jewels of a loaded 2028 class — now the onus is on Penn State to make a commitment worth his while.

An apparent knee injury snuffed out whatever magic Conor McGregor planned to rekindle in his first Ultimate Fighting Championship ****** ignment in five years.
Max Holloway was awarded an anticlimactic technical knockout over the SBG Ireland cornerstone in the first round of their UFC 329 headliner on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. A disappointed and dejected McGregor (22-7, 10-5 UFC)—who had beaten the Hawaiian by unanimous decision in their first meeting in 2013—bowed out 1:09 into Round 1.
It was essentially over before it began. McGregor appeared to suffer the injury while throwing a jumping round kick inside the first 10 seconds. He collapsed on multiple occasions afterward, unable to put any weight on his right leg while he attempted to engage Holloway (28-9, 24-9 UFC). It soon became clear to all involved that McGregor was compromised to such an extent that he could not move forward with the match.
Meanwhile, former Cage Warriors champion Paddy Pimblett put Benoit St. Denis to sleep with a Peruvian necktie in the first round of their lightweight co-main event. St. Denis (17-4, 9-4 UFC) lost consciousness 52 seconds into Round 1.
Pimblett (24-4, 8-1 UFC) survived the initial burst of offense from the Frenchman and made him pay for an ill-conceived takedown attempt. The Next Generation MMA star zeroed in on St. Denis’ exposed neck, bullied him to the canvas and proceeded to tighten the strings on the necktie. Pimblett then moved to a seated position—with one leg over the back, the other over the head—and maximized torque until the onetime French Special Forces operator lost his grip on reality.
It was the second sub-minute finish for Pimblett in 28 professional appearances.
Further down the main draw, Mario Bautista avenged a January 2019 submission defeat to Cory Sandhagen and laid claim to a unanimous decision over the Elevation Fight Team rep in their three-round bantamweight rematch. All three cageside judges scored it the same: 29-28 for Bautista (18-3, 12-3 UFC).
Sandhagen (18-7, 11-6 UFC) was undone by two key moments. Bautista appeared to damage his left leg with an attempted Suloev stretch kneebar late in the first round and dropped him with a sweeping left hook in the third. The rest of their 15-minute battle was marked by give-and-take action—Sandhagen opened a cut near the MMA Lab export’s right eye in the second round—in which neither man gained a discernible advantage.
Bautista, 33, has won 10 of his past 11 bouts.
Elsewhere, Factory X mainstay Brandon Royval rebounded from back-to-back losses to Joshua Van and Manel Kape, as he dismissed Lone’er Kavanagh with a rear-naked choke in the third round of their flyweight barnburner. Kavanagh (10-2, 3-2 UFC) waved the white flag of surrender 3:40 into Round 3.
Royval (18-9, 8-5 UFC) leaned into his jab and struck for a takedown in the first round, then averted disaster in the second. There, Kavanagh set him on rubber legs with a clean right hand ov

Day two of the Barrett Media Audio Summit was a smashing success. As someone who has attended the sports summits over the years, I thought the retooled approach to this year’s event was a smart pivot. Instead of two days full of content, discussion, and networking, organizers embraced a less-is-more approach. However, one element of this year’s annual gathering of the best in sports media stood out more than anything else. It should have been predictable, but unfortunately, I forgot to ask my AI agent about it.
Woven throughout every conversation was the role AI plays in the industry’s evolving workflow. From sales and marketing to programming, video editing, prep sheets, and even the occasional email, AI surfaced in every panel throughout the day. That’s a far cry from where we were just a couple of years ago, when AI seemed like something off in the distance.
How did we get here so quickly? What happened over the past few years that caused the sports media business to move AI from the back burner to the forefront of nearly every conversation at the Barrett Media Audio Summit?
The answer is actually pretty simple. AI stopped being a futuristic concept and became a practical one because the sports media industry isn’t unlike any other business today.
Sports radio has always embraced tools that create efficiency. We moved from carts to digital automation, from fax machines to email, from tape editing to Adobe Audition, and from physical media kits to digital marketing campaigns. Every technological shift initially produced skepticism before eventually becoming standard operating procedure.

Charlie Ward has built out his second-year Florida A&M men’s basketball roster.
The program announced a slew of signees, nine to be exact, through the high school ranks, junior college, and the NCAA Transfer Portal.
The newcomers will join returners, led by guard Antonio Baker Jr., who averaged 9.9 points per game last season and ended the year on a burner, getting 13.3 points in the final eight games. Others set to stay on The Highest of Seven Hills are 6-foot-11 big men Tuscan Onuoha and potentially Miles Ndalama if granted an NCAA waiver.
FAMU went 14-17 in Ward’s first season as a college head coach. The Heisman Trophy winner and former New York Knicks starting point guard also led the team to an 11-7 record in the Southwestern Athletic Conference and reached the league’s tournament semifinals.
Here’s a position-by-position look, including their season averages from last year, for who will be on Ward’s Rattlers for the 2026-2027 season.

The Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini story continues to evolve — around a month after the original Page Six report showing the New England Patriots coach and NFL reporter holding hands at an Arizona hotel, more photos and reports have followed.

NFL ****** yst says Dolphins rookie WR will be a 'nightmare' for defenses
The Miami Dolphins attacked their wide receiver room this offseason after releasing Tyreek Hill and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, and then trading Jaylen Waddle.
While Miami added a trio of veterans in free agency (Tutu Atwell, Jalen Tolbert and Terrace Marshall Jr.), they left the 2026 NFL draft with three rookies, including Kevin Coleman Jr. in the fifth round.
While Coleman was the third receiver prospect that the Dolphins took in the draft, he can still present problems for opposing defenses.
“You’ve just got to get the ball in his hands; after that, he’s a nightmare,” ESPN's Louis Riddick recently said about Coleman. “He can track the ball, has a quick change of direction and then turns on the afterburners. Look at his open-field running skills. Miami will be very happy when they get Coleman on the field.”
In four collegiate seasons between Jackson State, Louisville, Mississippi State and Missouri, Coleman caught 199 passes for 2,536 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also returned 62 punts and 19 kicks.
