Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears are attempting to become one of the highest scoring NFL teams of all time in 2026.
Head coach Ben Johnson and his team have made it no secret that they want their high-powered offense to shine. That fact was put onto full display against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1 after dropping 59 points on the road.
However, Chicago's not just looking to be dominant this season. Johnson and his group are seeking a legendary campaign that can etch the NFC North franchise into the history books.
The Bears ironically already hold the NFL record for most points in a single game with 73. Meanwhile, Williams, DeAndre Swift and the talented Chicago squad could make a move on that total in 2026.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were the latest to get mocked on Saturday Night Live UK.
On the Saturday, September 12 episode of the American comedy show spinoff, the cast took a few jabs at several members of the British Royal Family, including the Duke and ******* ss of Sussex, as well as King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
During the opening sketch, Larry Dean and Emma Sidi portrayed The King and Queen while they enjoyed some downtime at Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands.
"Oh, Camilla, nothing like a quiet Saturday in Balmoral. Clean Scottish air, dirty Scottish people … bliss," King Charles said, prompting Queen Camilla to add, "I do so love our weekends away. No responsibilities — just like every other day."
Prince Harry, portrayed by Jack Shep, then entered with Ayoade Bamgboye's Meghan. The Duke of Sussex said, "Daddy, I'm home."

A surreal crash at NASCAR's O'Reilly Series Nu Way 225 on Saturday could have been so much worse.
The end of the first stage saw a 10-car crash hit pit road as the entire field entered for fresh tires. It began with Rajah Caruth's No. 88 car getting spun out and ended with the road fully clogged and the race on ice.
Caruth, Brandon Jones, Harrison Burton, Dean Thompson, Jeb Burton, Ryan Sieg, Patrick Staropoli, Jeremy Clements, Nicholas Sanchez and Anthony Alfredo were all involved, with some sustaining race-ending damage.

The bigger worries were for the crew of Brent Crews in the No. 19 car. Crews had already pitted and was receiving work when Sanchez's car barreled into his right rear, coming within inches of significant contact with rear tire changer Bryan Backus.

The Colorado Buffaloes entered Saturday needing a more confident passing game after a tight opening win at Georgia Tech, and Julian Lewis supplied it before Weber State even had time to settle into the afternoon at Folsom Field.
On Colorado's first offensive snap, Lewis hit DeAndre Moore Jr. for a 66-yard touchdown. A few minutes later, Lewis found Joseph Williams for a 63-yard score, and Colorado had already put Weber State in a position where it needed to chase the game.
From my seat, the biggest development was how quickly Lewis played. The Buffs came out attacking downfield, trusting Lewis to make the reads and allowing the receivers to use their speed against Weber State's coverage.
Colorado's 52-21 win moved the Buffs to 2-0 for the first time since 2023. Lewis completed 17 of 23 passes for a career-high 366 yards, four touchdown passes and no interceptions. He added a 3-yard rushing touchdown before halftime, accounting for five scores before leaving the game with 5:50 remaining in the third quarter.
The 52-point afternoon came with a few defensive concerns, particularly in the secondary, but Colorado showed far more life offensively than it did a week ago. Lewis played like a quarterback who could give this team an explosive passing game, while Micah Welch ended one of the program's longest rushing droughts.

The Chargers dropped their final injury report of Week One and it's about as clean as you could ask for.
Edge rusher Tuli Tuipulotu (hip) is listed as questionable after being a limited participant at practice for most of the week. He dealt with a lower-body injury to begin training camp and it looks like the team is still playing it cautious with him now that the regular season is here.
Cornerback Deane Leonard is the only player listed as out for Sunday's game after missing the entire week of practice. Leonard is the team's fourth cornerback and the best coverage player on special teams. His presence will be missed in the third phase of the game.
game status for week 1 vs. AZ
QUESTIONABLE — Tuli Tuipulotu
OUT — Deane Leonard
With Leonard out, expect Nikko Reed or Kaiir Elam to be elevated for game day. Reed likely gets the nod as he has the greater experience pool in O'Leary's defense over Elam who was just signed following final cuts at the start of the month.

Dolly Parton never recovered from the death of her husband, Carl Dean, a friend tells In Touch exclusively.
"It was a bad time for her," Jason Pirro, who worked as the country icon's driver for 58 years, says of Dean's March 2025 death at 82 following an Alzheimer's diagnosis.
"She didn't say much, but she sometimes talked about how much she missed him so much. She didn't want to make a big deal about it because she knew that I knew how she was affected by it," says Pirro, 80, noting that the pair often traveled between their homes in LA and Tennessee to spend time with each other until he got sick.
Over their 60-year love story, they "shared a unique happiness that seemed to sparkle whenever they were together," he adds.
"I think that's why she passed away so soon after he did," Pirro tells In Touch. "She died of a broken heart, but she didn't want to say that because she didn't want people feeling sorry for her."

Dolly Parton had a "very unique and deep" relationship with her husband Carl Thomas Dean.
While appearing on CBS Mornings, the country music legend's sister, Stella Parton, took a moment to praise the singer's devotion to her husband of 59 years. She said the couple shared a "sweet, private romance.
"I know their relationship was very unique and very deep and loyal," Stella mentioned.
Dolly's sister said Carl "loved [Dolly] enough to let her be what she was." Nevertheless, she said he might have appreciated a little more private time with his wife.
"He would rather her be at the house with her hair up in a ponytail and barefooted, cookin' in the kitchen and just, you know, messin' around the house," Stella said. "That's, I think, that's what he would have preferred."

For most 9-year olds, the sight of a parent picking them up a little more than an hour into the school day might be a welcome one. But 25 years ago, Dean Marlowe realized quickly that something was very wrong.
"I was in the middle of class, and my stepdad came and picked me up from class," Marlowe told Yahoo Sports by phone recently. "I was kind of confused because I was like, 'Hey, what's going on?' I had just gotten to school. And all I remember him saying is that something bad happened in New York City where me and your mom are working, and we have to go there immediately."
That was the morning of 9/11, and Marlowe was just starting to realize how life-changing that day would be.
Mike Neil, Marlowe's stepfather and a police sergeant with the 75th precinct, had worked a late shift the night before as a favor to a friend. Neil had been asleep only a few hours when another officer from the precinct called to summon him back to work. It wasn't until Neil turned on his TV, seeing the second plane hit the World Trade Center, before he understood why.
Neil called his wife, Lisa, a police officer in Harlem's 32nd precinct, who told him to pick up Dean and his older sister, who worked at a bank close to Marlowe's school. Neither parent was sure when they'd see their kids again, knowing that people were dying and the city they were tasked with protecting was being cloaked in fire, smoke and debris.

Princess Diana's iconic "revenge dress" could fetch $300,000 at auction.
The iconic Christina Stambolian dress will be sold this December during Sotheby's Luxury Week with an estimate of $150,000–$300,000.
The dress will be offered at auction for the first time since June 1997, when the late princess sold 79 of her dresses at auction to raise funds to benefit cancer and AIDS charities.
A rare copy of the original catalog, numbered and signed by the princess and the designer of the dress, crediting Prince William with the idea of the sale will be sold with the dress. Part of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to NHS Lothian Charity on behalf of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital.

Dolly Parton's sister Stella has shared new details about the late singer's long-lasting relationship with her famously private husband, Carl Dean.
The Queen of Country died August 25 at age 80 after a "brief battle with cancer." She was preceded in death by her husband, who died in March 2025 at age 82.
Dolly and Carl eloped in 1966 and remained together until his death. Their relationship was largely kept under wraps due to his private nature, though she would offer up bits of information about their marriage every so often in an interview.
Now, her sister, Stella, has provided some insight into their relationship just weeks after Dolly's death.
"He adored her," Stella said of Carl in a new interview with Gayle King that aired Thursday on CBS Mornings. "He was fascinated with her. He thought she was funny like Tinkerbell," she continued, adding that he was "quiet and shy."

India continue to make their presence felt at the top of the Women's T20I bowling rankings, with Sree Charani holding on to the No. 1 spot and Deepti Sharma making a two-place jump to sixth following her strong showing at the Asia Cup 2026.
Deepti has been one of India's standout performers in the tournament, claiming eight wickets in three matches as the team booked its place in the semi-finals.
The right-arm spinner's consistent performances have earned her a significant rise in the latest rankings. Deepti, who had previously reached the top spot in December last year, is now within 60 rating points of Charani. Sophie Ecclestone, Charlie Dean, Nonkululeko Mlaba and Lauren Bell are the four bowlers positioned between the two Indian stars.
With Charani and Deepti occupying the top two positions, India continues to dominate the upper reaches of the T20I bowling rankings.
Several players also made significant gains in the latest T20I rankings after their performances at the Asia Cup. Bangladesh's Marufa Akter was among the biggest movers, climbing 19 places to 18th in the bowling rankings. Chamari Athapaththu moved up five spots to 28th, while Sultana Khatun gained nine places to share 37th.
Thailand's Thipatcha Putthawong rose four places to 47th, while teammate Suleeporn Laomi jumped 10 spots to 53rd. There were also gains among Bangladesh's batters, with Sobhana Mostary moving up three places to 36th and Dilara Akter climbing five spots to 62nd.
The latest ODI rankings also saw notable movement following England's home series against Ireland. Stand-in England captain Charlie Dean moved up one place to jointly occupy ninth in the ODI all-rounders' rankings. She also climbed two spots to share 11th among ODI bowlers after taking three wickets in the three-match series.
England's Lauren Filer made an impressive 14-place jump to 39th, while Ireland's Cara Murray rose 16 places to 50th in the ODI bowling rankings.
Ireland youngster Amy Hunter emerged as the biggest winner among ODI batters, moving up nine places to 11th. England's Maia Bouchier climbed 13 spots to 42nd, while Sophia Dunkley made an even bigger leap of 26 places to reach 43rd.

It has been nearly three months since Alex Pereira's bid to become a UFC champion in a third weight class came to a brutal halt at UFC Freedom 250. Ciryl Gane delivered a statement-making performance to score a second-round knockout in the historic White House co-main event.
The win was a huge moment for Gane, who became just the second fighter in UFC history to win two interim ***** les in the same division. More importantly, it put the French heavyweight in line for a highly anticipated rematch with undisputed champion Tom Aspinall.
However, much of the post-fight discussion wasn't about Gane's performance. Instead, the spotlight quickly turned to the 11 finishing shots he landed on Pereira, with seven appearing to connect to the back of the head and being deemed illegal.
ALSO READ: Ilia Topuria Breaks Down First Career Loss to Justin Gaethje in Deeply Personal 9-Part Essay
Pereira has since repeatedly called out referee Herb Dean and even demanded that he be removed from officiating his future fights. So far, though, nothing has changed on that front, and it appears Pereira is ready to put the controversy behind him and focus on what comes next.

Before the European's made their historic comeback at the 2012 Ryder Cup at Medinah, Ian Poulter had to make five birdies in a row to help him and Rory McIlroy win their Saturday match and trim Team USA's lead to 10-6 heading into Sunday.
"This has given us a heartbeat," Poulter said that Saturday night. One day later, the Europeans had stormed back to ****** the Ryder Cup away from the Americans in historic fashion. But the comeback all started with Poulter creating momentum out of thin air for his team to feed off — creating belief.
On Sunday at the 51st Walker Cup, Great Britain and Ireland faced a similar mountain to climb. After getting whitewashed in the morning foursomes, GB&I entered Sunday singles trailing the Americans by three points. The Americans needed just 3.5 points from their 10 matches to retain the cup and four to win outright. GB&I captain Dean Robertson believed his team could mount the biggest comeback in Walker Cup history, but first it needed a pulse.
Enter: 33-year-old mid-amateur Stuart Grehan.
The Irishman already authored a Walker Cup moment to remember on Saturday when he won the final three holes of his match against World No. 1 amateur Preston Stout to steal a crucial point. After pouring in the winning putt on Saturday, Grehan and his son were mobbed by Irish fans as chants of "Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole" filled the air.

The Bob Chesney Era is off and running for the UCLA Bruins. The Bruins outlasted the Cal Bears Saturday night, picking up a 45-24 victory to move to 1-0 on the 2026 season.
It was a hard-fought win to begin Chesney's tenure, as Cal and quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele battled late into Saturday night but UCLA's defense got three turnovers and three sacks in the win.
The UCLA offense shined too. Aside from a red zone interception by Nico Iamaleava, Dean Kennedy's offense shined. UCLA rushed for 279 yards with James Madison transfer Wayne Knight looking like a star, and finding the end zone three times in his UCLA debut.
It was a balanced rushing attack, with the Bruins' offensive line winning up front, creating holes on the ground for Knight, Anthony Woods, Jaivian Thomas and Iamaleava on the ground. While Knight found the end zone three times, Woods scored twice and totaled 118 yards on only eight carries. As a team, UCLA averaged 9.0 yards per carry.
UCLA left meat on the bone late in the first half, as an Iamaleava interception led to a Cal touchdown but that didn't instill fear in the offense, as Iamaleava found Matthews for a deep pass to set up a last-second field goal to give the Bruins a 24-17 halftime lead.

Model Emily Ratajkowski is taking fashion lovers back in time with a spectacular archival cover shoot. Starring on the cover of EE72 magazine's Fall 2026 issue, the supermodel embraced full '90s nostalgia. Styled by chief creative officer Edward Enninful, Emily wore legendary runway pieces straight from Vivienne Westwood's iconic Fall/Winter 1993 collection. Photographed by Craig McDean, her daring tartan ensemble proved that true vintage fashion never goes out of style.
For the dramatic "Made in the 90s" cover story, Emily stepped into a museum-worthy plaid creation. The colorful tartan micro minidress featured a dangerously high hemline that showcased her long legs. The outfit combined rich red, green, and blue tartan fabrics. It was artfully layered with a fuzzy wool wrap, a fitted waist belt, and pleated side panels. Across her hips, she wore a traditional fur-trimmed sporran bag hanging from a delicate silver chain.
Stylist Edward Enninful carefully curated every detail to match Westwood's famous punk-meets-royalty aesthetic. On her head, Emily wore a matching tartan beret topped with a dramatic sweeping feather. Down below, she wore bright, colorful argyle socks pulled up her calves. She paired the socks with sky-high black lace-up platform heels. In behind-the-scenes video footage, Enninful admired the rare footwear and hat, calling the entire look a true museum piece.
During the photoshoot, Emily posed against a bold red studio backdrop while photographer Craig McDean directed her movements. He guided her to place her hands firmly on her hips and turn into a dramatic side profile. Emily worked the camera effortlessly, bringing moody, smoldering energy to every frame.
Meanwhile, her beauty team created a quintessential '90s grunge-glam look. Hairstylist Karim Belghiran gave her textured, messy waves with long fringe bangs. Makeup artist ***** Page finished the look with intense plum-smoky eyeshadow, sharp eyeliner, and a nude lip. Ultimately, Emily Ratajkowski brought a legendary fashion moment back to life with unmatchable supermodel poise.

Former Premier League referee Mike Dean says he did not intend to "undermine the integrity of refereeing" after claiming that he used to play mini-games to amuse himself during matches.
Dean had told Jamie Vardy's podcast that he would try to go as long as possible without blowing his whistle, or stay standing in the centre circle.
"We used to say, 'we'll kick off now. Right, see how long we can go without blowing a whistle'," Dean said.
"I've done that a few times in the Premier League, before VAR obviously - went 20, 25 minutes without blowing a whistle."
The 58-year-old has come in for considerable criticism for his comments with another former Premier League referee, Mark Halsey, telling BBC Sport that it had added extra pressure on officials today.

It will be a spirited crowd on Monday night when the No. 19 SMU Mustangs come to Doak Campbell Stadium to take on the Florida State Seminoles. It's the ACC opener for both schools, and it will set the tone for conference play for each program in 2026.
FSU was able to pick up a win in their season opener thanks in large part to only allowing 17 points. With that said, they need to improve in multiple areas against SMU if they want to come out with a victory.
Here are five defensive keys for the Seminoles as they look to stop a very capable Mustangs offense.
It all starts in the trenches. This is a game where guys like Daniel Lyons, Deante McCray, Rylan Kennedy, and the Desir twins need to establish themselves from the get-go. If they can do that, they'll have a good chance of keeping SMU behind the chains.
Jennings is a dual-threat type of quarterback. So, Florida State's defense will need to keep him rattled while he's in the pocket, while also keeping a spy on him in case he tucks the ball and decides to run. This is an essential key for them.

Shortly before 5 p.m. on Sept. 3, the Ohio State men's basketball program issued a press release publicly confirming the return of one of its most decorated players: Jared Sullinger, one of only three players in program history to be a first-team All-American more than once, was joining coach Jake Diebler's staff as director of player development.
The move had been in the works for a while and all but finalized during the weekend, but Sullinger kept it close to the vest. So close that, as of about three hours after the news was made public, he had not yet heard from former teammates and close friends such as Aaron Craft and David Lighty because he hadn't tipped them off.
"Honestly, ******* ody knew," he said. "I kept it under wraps for a reason. I just wanted to say ******* o world; this is the new me. I haven't gotten those text messages yet, but I'm pretty sure when I get those text messages, I'm probably going to cry like a little baby."
Whether or not tears wound up falling, Sullinger had a lot of emotions to unpack. In joining the staff, he officially announced his retirement as a player. He spent two years with the Buckeyes, five in the NBA and parts of the next nine overseas while also spending time playing for Ohio State's alumni teams in The Basketball Tournament.
After primarily playing in China in recent seasons, the decision to both stop playing and join the Ohio State staff was made with his family in mind. Sullinger and his wife, DeAnn, have three children: twins Jared. Jr. and Jemma, who will be 7 later this month, and Jaycee, who is 5.

There's a famous line in The Big Short when a baffled Mark Baum, after hearing some finance bros casually admit to issuing fraudulent, high-risk loans to unqualified borrowers, asks his colleagues: "I don't get it. Why are they confessing?"
"They're not confessing. They're bragging," comes the response.
Naturally, people thought of this when ex-Premier League referee Mike Dean made his latest attempt to shove himself into the spotlight. On Jamie Vardy's Having a Party podcast, he "admitted" to playing secret mini-games while officiating top-flight matches.
He claimed: "We used to say, 'Right, we'll kick off now, right? See how long we can go without blowing a whistle.' Done that a few times in the Premier [League], before VAR obviously. Went 20-25 minutes without blowing a whistle a few times. Let it go, let it go, let it go." He also said he would try and stay within the confines of the centre circle for as long as possible, once reaching the 15-minute mark on that particular side-quest.

Former Premier League referee Mike Dean says he used to set himself mini-challenges during matches "as a laugh".
Appearing on Jamie Vardy's podcast, Dean said he would see how long he could go without blowing his whistle, or stay inside the centre circle.
"We used to say 'we'll kick off now. Right, see how long we can go without blowing a whistle'," Dean said.
"I've done that a few times in the Premier League, before VAR obviously - went 20, 25 minutes without blowing a whistle.
"I used to do another thing. I used to stand in the centre circle - see how long I could stay in the centre circle before I had to leave.

Mike Dean has admitted he would play secret mini-games while refereeing Premier League matches in a mystifying revelation that has outraged fans.
Dean has not refereed since retiring in 2022 after a 22-year officiating career, during which he took charge of 553 top-flight games.
While one of the most recognisable in his field, the 58-year-old was also a notably controversial figure for his unique manner of refereeing, with on-pitch gags and his self-admitted "arrogance" sometimes seeing him end up under the spotlight.
Pundit Garth Crooks famously blasted Dean as "petulant schoolteacher" in a now widely-shared clip on BBC's Final Score in 2015, saying: "He wants to be the star too often. It's really getting on my nerves because he's spoiling great games. It's not about you, Mike, it's about the games."
And now, Dean has found himself on the end of a torrent of criticism after saying he would set himself side-quests during matches, such as waiting as long as possible to blow his whistle.

Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) is all set to report its fiscal second-quarter 2027 earnings on Wednesday, September 2. The stock has a history of exceeding Wall Street expectations, and investors also seem positively hyped around the data and ******* ytics software segment this time around.
On August 31, Cantor Fitzgerald ******* yst Thomas Blakey raised the price target on Snowflake Inc. (NYSE: SNOW) to $405.00 (from $282.00) while maintaining an Overweight rating. The firm believes Snowflake will experience another beat this quarter, and while this may sound bullish, it isn't really so when the beat is likely to be narrower than last quarter.

Snowflake had a strong start for fiscal 2027, with product revenue up 34% year-over-year (YoY) to $1.3 billion, while net revenue retention (or NRR) reached 126% as of Q1. Artificial Intelligence was a big part of SNOW's revenue, helping push product revenue up 34% year-over-year.
Snowflake's AI capabilities were being used by more than 13,600 accounts, while Cortex Code was being used by around 7100 accounts. Snowflake's CoCo, or Cortex Code, is the company's AI coding agent for data teams. The tool launched back in November 2025 and has since added more than 4,000 users.

Frantic was the word that stuck in the mind following Bolton's last-minute defeat by Sheffield United.
Not just because of what happened on the pitch, but because it also perfectly summed up Wanderers' activity on deadline day.
As the hours ticked by, it became increasingly clear neither Max Dean nor Johnny Kenny would be making Bolton their home, with Wanderers ultimately missing out on the two targets they had pursued for so long.
Instead, the elusive third striker turned out to be Theo Bair - a signing which came somewhat out of the blue given the column inches devoted to the aforementioned forwards.

What channel is Georgia Tech vs. Colorado on? Time, TV schedule, live stream to watch Thursday college football originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Deion Sanders begins Year 4 at Colorado in the city where he became a legend, as the Buffaloes face Georgia Tech in Atlanta on Thursday.
Sanders played for the Falcons and Braves in the early 1990s, a rare two-sport star in the pros, and remains an iconic figure in Atlanta sports history. Though his legacy could earn him a warm welcome at Bobby Dodd Stadium, that nostalgia won't do much for the Buffs as they try to bounce back from a 3-9 season.
Second-year quarterback Julian Lewis, who starred down the road at Carrollton High School, will lead a Colorado offense that loaded up with transfers in the offseason. That includes receivers Kam Perry (Miami Ohio), DeAndre Moore Jr. (Texas) and Danny Scudero (San Jose State), who are among 43 transfers on the roster.
Speaking of transfers, the Yellow Jackets will roll out a high-profile pair in QB Alberto Mendoza, late of Indiana and brother of the 2025 Heisman Trophy winner, and former Michigan and Alabama running back Justice Haynes, who grew up in suburban Atlanta. Whatever happens there, things figure to look quite a bit different for Tech after Haynes King held down the QB position the last three years.
