PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Damon Sacco had never seen anything like the fish he and fellow anglers fought for hours in the waters off Massachusetts. As it rose from the depths, it looked like a glimmering blue ****** eship.
Sacco, a longtime Massachusetts charter fishing boat captain, saw the giant fin break the surface, and at first he thought he was dealing with an enormous shark.
"Then I got a better look at it and thought, dang, that thing's pointed," he said. "But that's too big for a marlin."
He was wrong. Sacco and his client Walter Chapman landed what they and others believe is the largest Atlantic blue marlin ever caught off the U.S. East Coast on Wednesday. The massive billfish, more than 11 feet (335 cm) in length, weighed 1,260 pounds (571.5 kilograms) when they got it back to land in Falmouth, Massachusetts.
That was just 142 pounds (64.4 kilograms) shy of the world record for an Atlantic blue marlin, caught off Brazil in 1992, according to records kept by the International Game Fish ****** ociation.

Rafael Devers played his first game back in Boston Friday night since he was traded to the San Francisco Giants last summer. The former Sox slugger played nine seasons with the Red Sox.
The Fenway faithful booed Devers each time he stepped into the batter's box. He was the designated hitter and did not play in the field.
Fans outside the ballpark had mixed reactions to fans booing him during each at bat.
"He did a lot for our city, but I hate him. He's not a team player. He's selfish," Red Sox fan Julian said. "He cared more about his personal goals so unfortunately there's bad blood with him."
Fans cheered loud when Devers struck out in the first inning. He went on to hit a home run in the fourth inning.

Isla Fisher is keeping it real.
The Australian actress, 50, recently appeared on "The Smallzy Show" with her "Spa Weekend" co-star Adam Demos and broke down her icks with leading men on screen that could turn off female audience members.
"When a man runs on film, and it looks like a sprinkler moving, it's just wrong," Fisher said on the Australian radio program. "Tom Cruise has really nailed the ******* y run."
An ick is a sudden feeling of disgust. It is popularly used online when describing feelings of repulsion that suddenly crop up with a romantic partner.
Fisher also shared her thoughts on wearing backpacks: "If a bloke shows up in a backpack, wrap it up. It's done."

Isla Fisher recently opened up about how her divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen has impacted her life. The Australian actress has reflected on embracing a new chapter of her life.
In a recent interaction with People, Fisher had a humorous exchange with Anna Faris. When the American actress complained about not having enough time to catch up with her female friends, the Aussie actress replied, "I mean, speak for yourself. I'm divorced, so all I do is see friends!"
Fisher then joked about her friendly relationship with her children, saying, "So I'm in a different place."
Earlier this year, Fisher also reflected on her life after the divorce. In an interview with People in March 2026, the Australian actress said, "I feel so liberated. There's also something about being divorced where you just feel like you could just do anything. You could just do anything, and someone would be like, 'Oh, don't worry. She's divorced."

Well, just like last week, Houston had a very deflating finish to this preseason game, losing to the Las Vegas Raiders 22-20, dropping to 0-2 this preseason. Despite the loss, however, this game was a much more satisfying showing from the Texans roster than last week's loss against the Los Angeles Chargers. Tonight, the Houston Texans faced first overall pick QB Fernando Mendoza, hoping to get some positive action from their roster following the devastating news of WR Jayden Higgins' injury yesterday. They got exactly what they were looking for on the first two drives of the game: a methodical, run-heavy drive from the first-stringers that ended in a 20-yard Woody Marks touchdown run, and then a pick-six on Mendoza by rookie LB Wade Woodaz!
For a moment, you might've mistaken this game to be a pivotal late-season matchup with the amount of cheering from the fans following Woodaz's interception. Then, on the next Raiders' drive, DE Jadeveon Clowney announced his return to Houston with a deflection against Mendoza on third down! Seeing that #90 screaming off the edge for Houston's defensive line again after seven years away is a very welcome sight, especially considering the state the Texans' franchise is in now compared to the chaotic state it was in during the Bill O'Brien era. Clowney makes for an excellent depth piece on the edge, and if the preseason is any indication, Houston may be leaning on its defensive line a lot once again in 2026.
Following the three-and-out by the Raiders, Texans backup QB Davis Mills entered the game along with many second and third-string players. He targeted backup TE Foster Moreau and Noah Whittington on this drive, and he even got a nice completion to undrafted rookie Daniel Sobkowicz on third down. Just barely not enough for a new set of downs, though, so Houston settles for a field goal, making it 17-0 with a little over 3 minutes left in the first quarter.
The Raiders answered that drive with a field goal drive of their own, led by some impressive runs from rookie RB Mike Washington – who's too fast for Texans LB Jake Hummel – and FB/TE Connor Hayward. Texans rookie DT Kayden McDonald put an end to the string of positive plays for the Raiders, sacking Mendoza for an eleven yard loss and reminding everyone what this Texans d-line is capable of. The Raiders settle for a field goal, and then both teams trade punts, and Houston nabs a field goal shortly before halftime.
Texans rookie WR Lewis Bond made an impressive reception on 3rd & 8, and RB Noah Whittington had a few nice runs in the second quarter, but the run-blocking from Houston's backup offensive lineman still leaves much to be desired. Blake Fisher still doesn't look the part of a second-round pick, and Braden Smith wasn't particularly impressive, either. Thankfully, it appears they may have found a star in rookie TE Marlin Klein, who had a 17-yard reception that showcased his ability to track a bad pass, reel it in while in motion, and crank up the

As the San Francisco 49ers gear up for another preseason game with the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night, they undoubtedly have bigger fish to fry.
First and foremost at the moment is the ongoing status of superstar running back Christian McCaffrey. The tailback is currently dealing with undisclosed tightness and has missed a week of practice and running heading into Thursday night's exhibition, where he will obviously not play. Head coach Kyle Shanahan had to clarify that McCaffrey's status has nothing to do with dissatisfaction with his current contract, especially after recent monster extensions for Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs.
So, what's the deal? When might McCaffrey actually come back to the 49ers?
For what it's worth, a return seems imminent. Why do I say that? Shanahan maintained that McCaffrey likely would've already practiced earlier this week if the 49ers weren't engaging in joint practices with the Chargers. But because those joint practices with other teams are so physical, the 49ers elected to remain cautious rather than unnecessarily push their arguably best player.
That timeline seems promising! After playing in just four games in 2024, McCaffrey came back and played in all 17 games last season for the 49ers. San Francisco is undoubtedly hoping his 2026 output resembles his 2025, not his disappointing 2024.

BEREA, Ohio — Before the Buffalo Bills took the field for a joint practice with the Cleveland Browns, Joe Brady took a step back from his comments earlier in training camp.
Before the Bills left St. John Fisher University, Brady said he hated in-practice fights. Then he proceeded to praise his rookies for being willing to scrap and stand up for themselves during practices.
Brady said again he didn't want to see any fights with the Browns. And then he added another "but."
"There's got to be an accountability and a discipline to what we do," Brady said. "But I also want the guys to have a mindset and a personality while they're out there."
It's obvious Brady is willing to have players toe the line far more than Sean McDermott did. Brady hasn't condoned dirty play, but he's not going to discipline players for a shoving match or reprimand players for chirping.

Head coach Brian Barry-Murphy says his Cardiff City squad is "vulnerable" after centre-back Gabriel Osho joined their list of fitness concerns.
Osho was seen on crutches after the 1-1 draw with Wrexham on Monday due to a knee issue.
The Championship side are already without fellow defenders Will Fish, Dylan Lawlor and Calum Chambers and have had to move established full-backs into central defence this season.
Left-back Joel Bagan started the Wrexham game in a central role and Perry Ng, who normally operates at right-back, did the same in the EFL Cup win over Swindon.
"We're in a situation at the moment where we're a little bit stretched, so we're a little bit vulnerable, but we feel as if we can be really competitive at the start of the season," Barry-Murphy said.

CARROLL — The high school football season gets underway this week in what should be another exciting year.
With the Ohio High School Athletic ******* ociation reducing the playoffs from 16 teams to 12 in each region a year ago, qualifying for the postseason could be a little tougher. The playoffs begin Oct. 30, but before we get there, teams are preparing for their 10-game regular-season schedules.

We are just a step away from the UEFA Europa League. In the play-off, we will face the reigning Swedish champions and cup winners, Mjällby AIF. We first face them this Thursday 20 August at 18:00 CEST with the first leg away from home. At the small but charming Strandvallen Stadium, nestled between the Baltic Sea coast and a campsite, we will aim to secure the best possible starting position for the second leg at home a week later.
Participation in a European league is already secured for both teams - the only question is whether it will be the UEFA Europa League or the UEFA Conference League. For our Swedish opponents, it will be their first European appearance either way, after Mjällby surprised the entire country with their **** le win in 2025 (more on that in our opposition profile).The players from the fishing village in the south of the country have lost some momentum in the new season, however. After 16 or 17 rounds played in the Allsvenskan, the team currently sits in eleventh place out of 16, with only a few points separating them from the relegation zone. However, the team showed great spirit this past weekend. Trailing 0-3 against league leaders Sirius, they ultimately rallied to a 4-3 victory!
In their European qualifying campaign, Mjällby defeated Lincoln Red Imps of Gibraltar 3-0 on aggregate in the second round of UEFA Champions League qualifying, followed by a 1-4 defeat against Slovan Bratislava (SVK) in the third round. We'll see how the Swedish champions fare against our Red Bulls on Thursday. At least we were able to boost our confidence with a 3-0 win against WSG Tirol and a hard-fought victory against Pafos FC!

Dating is never easy, but dating while famous? Probably even harder — especially online.
Many celebrities stick to dating techniques like being set up by friends or crossing their fingers for a traditional meet-cute. There are some stars, however, who have joined the masses in swiping for love, trying the celeb-exclusive app Raya or more mainstream platforms such as Tinder and ***** ble.
Some scored matches, others got ghosted and more than one — including Zayn Malik and Andy Cohen — was accused of catfishing. A few, like Dakota Fanning and Charlize Theron, were urged to sign up by pals, and that just meant they could judge matches together (looking at you, BFFs Lisa Ann Walter and Elaine Hendrix!).
While several enjoyed trying the online dating pool, Olivia Rodrigo got the ick from the experience.
Ahead are the celebs who've gone on the record about trying out dating apps.

Russell Westbrook, one of the NBA's biggest style icons and a catalyst for transforming the pregame tunnel into a fixture of the modern NBA, has retired.
Why not? That's the mantra that Russell Westbrook lived by in all aspects of his NBA career. When you saw him lift off for what seems like an improbable dunk or drive to the paint through a sea of defenders, why not? When he walked the pregame tunnel in a cream poncho with brown stripes and a pork pie hat that looks like he stole it from Walter White's closet, why not?
"It's how I live my life. It's how I operate. Whenever there's any type of indecision, I have an easy answer, and it's just strictly, 'Why not?'" Westbrook told Complex in a 2023 interview. "If I'm getting dressed, or designing, or trying to create pieces, and I don't love it right away, I'll just be like, ' f**k it. Why not? Let's just do it.'"
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
When Westbrook's career started back in 2008, the late David Stern's strict NBA dress code was still in place. Players were required to wear suits to games, a decree largely believed to be brought about to curb another fashion icon, Allen Iverson, from wearing 4XL throwback jerseys and baggy sweatsuits. For the first four years, Westbrook stuck to the dress code. His biggest "risk" was a cardigan with gray stripes. But by 2012, he was finding his lane. He wasn't quiet in his "distressed band T-shirt and construction vests" era yet, but he was experimenting more. During the 2012 NBA Finals between the OKC Thunder and Miami Heat, he rocked a white Lacoste polo covered in colorful fishing lures and lensless red glasses. A year later, at All-Star Weekend, he spruced up a brown blazer and a gray/black striped tie with duck camo pants and a yellow belt to go with his "Tokyo" Air Jordan 5s. It barely matched, but it followed the dress code guidelines and stood out, especially since the rest of the league was still rocking more GQ-friendly fits of tailored suits and slim-fitting sweaters over ******* on-ups.

For the last five years, I have cleared my schedule for every A'ja Wilson versus Breanna Stewart matchup — and there have been many. They are the two defining players of this WNBA generation, with a combined six MVPs and six **** les between them, and the faces of USA Basketball. They relish the competition of playing against the best at their position and raise their levels when they meet.
The Wilson-Stewart era is far from over. Wilson is on pace to be MVP yet again, while Stewart is putting together yet another All-WNBA season. Although the Las Vegas Aces sit higher in the standings, the New York Liberty have mostly gotten the best of them this season, including in the Commissioner's Cup final. A playoff series between them (a fifth matchup in seven seasons) would be high-level theater.
It would be near-impossible for another individual rivalry to reach those heights — again, look at all the hardware the two have in their trophy cases — but it was fun to get a look at the future during the aptly-named rivals week. Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark have a lot more winning to do to reach the Wilson-Stewart level, but they do have the right ingredients in place. They're elite players at essentially the same position who came up together through USA Basketball; like Stewart and Wilson, they each were the MVP at a U-19 World Cup. They both had outstanding college careers, and now they are trying to compete for **** les in the WNBA.
Bueckers and Clark have met only three times in the pros, and the first was mostly forgettable. The last two, however, have been worth the wait. The third quarter of Friday's game between Dallas and Indiana was a true highlight, as these two unselfish guards kept trying to one-up the other as bucket-getters. Six of their baskets were immediately followed by points from the other, including a very fun stretch in which Clark hit a layup, Bueckers followed with a pull-up 3, Clark responded with a pull-up jumper and Bueckers hit another shot in the midrange. Not a lot of passing from the nominal point guards, but the budding seeds of a longer rivalry.
Ideally, the Wings and Fever will meet in the playoffs (with Azzi Fudd and Jessica Shepard both healthy by that point) and give this matchup the stakes it deserves. For now, it's an enjoyable undercard to the Wilson-Stewart rivalry.

Texas A&M's 2025 quarterback room included former four-star QB Miles O'Neill, who, during his impressive high school career, potentially looked like the next starting signal caller after Marcel Reed eventually departs, but after two seasons with the program, throwing for a combined 171 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions, the Massachusetts native entered the transfer portal, eventually choosing North Carolina.
Standing 6'5" and 220 pounds, O'Neill's arm strength was never an issue, but compared to likely backup Brady Hart, his fit in new OC Holmon Wiggins' offense wasn't compatible; that doesn't take away from the fact that, with the right scheme, reaching his full potential is still in reach.
Under Hall of Fame coach Bill Belichick and OC and former Texas A&M and Arkansas OC Bobby Petrino, it was reported by TarHeel247 that O'Neill is in good position to be named the starter soon, as fellow transfer quarterback Billy Edwards is still recovering from his season-ending injury, while O'Neill is also competing with Au'Tori Newkirk and Travis Burgess, who are equally inexperienced.
Former Texas A&M QB Max Johnson played for North Carolina from 2024-2025 and served as the starter for the Tar Heels before suffering a broken femur, which ended his season after the first game, and will be his final collegiate season with Georgia Southern.
The running joke that Texas A&M has become "QB U" given all the former signal callers who have started elsewhere after transferring has some accuracy attached to it, especially given that former coach Jimbo Fisher failed to develop nearly every starting quarterback, especially Conner Weigman and Haynes King.

"I'm the mayhem," said fishing guide Branden Trager in reference to his fishing and hunting guide company Adventures with Mayhem Outfitters. The business is based in Brush Prairie, Wash., but the Trager family splits time between Brush Prairie and the Long Beach Peninsula. "We're nomadic," he said.
Trager was in Astoria on the docks of the West End Mooring Basin on Saturday, Aug. 15 to ****** ist with the Lipstick Salmon Slayers tournament, a women-only salmon fishing tournament that brings hundreds to the Columbia River Buoy 10 fishery to compete for cash prizes and empower women fishers.
In line with the spirit of the event, Trager said he was there to support his wife Erica — the organizer of the tourney. She was busy at the event's other location setting up for a celebratory dinner that would lure the women anglers from the docks to a dinner that evening.
Trager's singular goal that day was to provide an inclusive atmosphere for the female salmon slayers lined up on the dock.
The intent was "to have a safe, welcoming environment and not have to worry about being the only girl on board, because that happens a lot as a fishing guide," said Trager. "We have a lot of instances where there is just one girl on the boat. Of course, we make her feel welcomed but it's super fun when it's six gals on the boat. Just being with each other while they are just having the best day of their lives."

Yankees 4 Jays 3 (10 innings)
Well, I didn't expect a sweep, not that it wouldn't have nice.
Tied in the tenth the Yankees scored two in the top of the inning. After a sac bunt, to move the Manfred Man to third base, Ben Rice homered off Braydon Fisher.
We got one in the bottom of the inning, Andrés Giménez singled home the Manfred Man, but we couldn't bring him home to tie the game.
As usual, our offense didn't do enough, just two runs in regulation time.

TORONTO (AP) — Ben Rice hit a tiebreaking home run in the 10th inning and the New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 on Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.
New York's four runs were twice as many as they had scored in the previous three games, all losses.
Rice's first hit of the series was a two-run homer, his33rd this season, off Braydon Fisher (3-4).
Tim Hill gave up an RBI single to Andrés Giménez in the bottom of the 10th but held on for his second save in six chances.
Toronto erased a 2-1 deficit in the bottom of the ninth but David Bednar (6-3) stranded the winning run at second base.

The Boston Red Sox may have suffered a significant blow to their lineup Saturday after Masataka Yoshida exited the game with a left hamstring injury. The Red Sox will likely be making some changes to the MLB roster in the coming days.
Yoshida appeared to hurt himself while running to second base on a double in the third inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He immediately showed a noticeable limp and was removed from the game, with the Red Sox announcing that he was dealing with left hamstring tightness.

Offshore fishing teams are used to battling huge waves, but big waves are no comparison to the emotional roller coaster experienced by two Charleston crews in the White Marlin Open fished Aug. 3-8 in Ocean City, Md.
Anxiety! Stress! Pride! Mister Pete and Bull Pen were in line to earn paydays soaring into the millions, but at the same time they were thinking of that famous line by Yogi Berra: "It ain't over till it's over."
But when it was over, Mister Pete had earned the top prize in one of the largest (334 boats) and most prestigious billfish tournaments. And Bull Pen finished third but earned the second-highest payout in the tournament. Mister Pete, a 60-foot Spencer owned by brothers Bob and Rusty McClam and captained by Alan Neiford, won $3,503,891.54 for catching an 80-pound white marlin on Aug. 6.
The day before, Bull Pen, a 62-foot Bayliss owned by Todd Wigfield and captained by Cordes Lucas, had brought in the first eligible white marlin, a 70-pound catch that could have been worth more than $5 million if Mister Pete hadn't landed its fish. Bull Pen won $1,818,546.84, more than five times the amount of the second-place fish. Reel Hunter out of St. Michael's, Md., caught a 71.5-pound white marlin on Aug. 7 but didn't enter as many divisions as Bull Pen and finished with a $360,721.49 payday.
To be eligible for prizes, a white marlin must measure 70 inches from the tip of its lower jaw to the fork of the tail, and it must weigh at least 70 pounds. And those were the exact measurements of Bull Pen's fish caught by James Hood.

Rising Cass Tech junior Donald Tabron II committed to Texas A&M on Saturday at the 313 store in Detroit. Tabron narrowed his 38 offers to three on Aug. 8 and announced that he would make his commitment a week later.
Tabron referred to the Aggies as a program on the rise after the team made its first playoff appearance in 2025. Under head coach Mike Elko, Texas A&M has also gained a strong reputation for its strong recruiting classes, continuing momentum from the strong classes the team had under former head coach Jimbo Fisher.
The Aggies have the No. 7 ranked recruiting class in 2026 and the nation's top-ranked class in 2027.
The Tabrons' relationship with the Aggies' coaching staff began when Elko started to appear on Tabron's father, Donald Tabron Sr.'s, radar after helping turn Duke into a top contender in the ACC.
"I watched the success Coach Elko had changing the culture and the program. They were able to beat a good Clemson team, and that's almost unheard of for Duke football," he said.
