The American won the coin toss. He decided to serve first. In a normal match, this is an excellent decision because Shelton's serve is among the best on the ATP Tour.

The WNBA learned in early September that commissioner Cathy Engelbert has decided to step down and retire from her position following this season. Engelbert has overseen a successful tenure that has helped elevate the WNBA's profile and grow the league's brand.
Now, the league will need to find Engelbert's successor. Several names have already been suggested as potential candidates. However, some of the WNBA's biggest stars may also have a voice in who should succeed Engelbert.

Ja'Marr Chase, George Pickens and other fantasy football bad beats not to worry about appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Week 1 can make fantasy managers question an entire summer of research. A first-round receiver disappears, a breakout candidate misses his projection and suddenly the trade block looks tempting. The better approach is to separate disappointing box scores from genuinely concerning roles. Ja'Marr Chase and George Pickens hurt lineups in Week 1, but neither performance provided a good reason to panic.
Mandatory Credit: Denny Medley-Imagn Images
Chase delivered the most shocking dud of the opening weekend, catching two of four targets for only 12 yards in Cincinnati's 33-27 victory over Tampa Bay. He finished behind Mike Gesicki, Tee Higgins and Chase Brown in targets despite entering the week as fantasy football's consensus top wide receiver.
The four targets were frustrating, but the result looks more like an outlier than a changing offensive hierarchy. Chase's 3.2 PPR points represented the second-worst fantasy performance of his career. He has also averaged 5.5 fewer fantasy points in September than during every other month, demonstrating that slow starts are nothing new.

New York sports fans have suddenly been given a reason to feel optimistic across the board. The Jets and Giants both opened the 2026 NFL season with victories, something that had not happened since 2009.
And for Yankees fans, that particular piece of history is especially interesting because of what happened the last time New York's two NFL teams both started 1-0.

The week 1 game between Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers produced a 59-37 game in which Bears dominated the Panthers defense. In the high-scoring game, Bears quarterback did something interesting after the game while he was shaking hands with the Panthers head coach Dave Canales.
Interestingly the conversation was covered as the fields were mic'd up. The brief exchange of words now went viral and made headlines.
In the record-breaking 59-37 Week 1 blowout of the Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams delivered one of the most talked-about postgame moments of the early 2026 NFL season. During the handshake line after the Bears' historic 96-point combined scoring, the mics on the field caught his exact words in Dave Canales' face. "Y'all are a great defense man," Caleb Williams said.

It's a short, deadpan six-word line. No sarcasm in tone, no raised voice. It was a calm, straightforward compliment delivered right after Carolina's defense surrendered 59 points, 552 total yards, and multiple explosive plays.

Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears enjoyed an incredible offensive performance in their 59-37 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon. However, they are keeping their eye on the ball with some issues they must address as the 2026 campaign is underway.
Williams filled up the stat sheet as he enjoyed his activity in the offense. He completed 21 out of 29 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns while racking up 10 rushes for 65 yards and two touchdowns.
Williams reflected on the performance after the game, per reporter Chris Emma. He surprisingly said this game will be the team's worst as he anticipates stronger displays throughout the coming weeks this year.
"That's who we want to be this week. We got to go clean up. We want to be truthers. Obviously, this is going to be our kind of worst game. I know points don't necessarily show that, but execution, the blocking, the penalties, all these different things," Williams said.

Mike Vrabel used his weekly Monday appearance on The Greg Hill Show on Sportsradio 93.7 WEEI to work back through New England's 13-10 loss in Seattle, and the players he chose to talk about were three rookies who had never taken an NFL snap before Sept. 9: tight end Eli Raridon, edge rusher Gabe Jacas and linebacker Namdi Obiazor.
Raridon, the third-round pick out of Notre Dame, caught a two-yard touchdown from Drake Maye that produced the first points of the 2026 NFL season. He played 38 offensive snaps, 54 percent of New England's total, working as the second tight end behind Hunter Henry.
Jacas, taken 55th overall out of Illinois after the Patriots sent three picks to the Los Angeles Chargers to move up, came off a double team for his first career sack and later added a tackle for loss.
Obiazor, a sixth-round pick from TCU, opened the game with a hit on the kickoff and played 20 special teams snaps without seeing a defensive one.

Whatever could go wrong, did go wrong for the Packers late in Sunday's collapse against the Minnesota Vikings, as defensive coordinator Brian Flores exploited every possible weakness in Green Bay's offensive line in a fourth quarter barrage of pressure.
While it was Flores' cacophony of exotic blitz concepts executed by Vikings edge rushers that flew to the football, and Packers quarterback Jordan Love that torpedoed Matt LaFleur's squad, Green Bay can take some solace to build on from a dismal 39-22 loss.

The Packers entered this season banking on Christian Watson and Matthew Golden each making substantial leaps at the top of the depth chart at wide reciever, and the duo did exactly that on Sunday in Minneapolis.
Watson led the charge for the Packers' offense, catching six passes for 147 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while Golden pulled down six of his 12 targets for 95 yards.

The NFL Week 1 schedule concludes Monday night when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Denver Broncos in an AFC West matchup at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
For Kansas City, the biggest question heading into the season opener has centered on its quarterback. Patrick Mahomes has spent the offseason working his way back from a major knee injury that ended his 2025 season.
The 30-year-old quarterback has not played since suffering a torn ACL and LCL in December 2025. The injury sparked concern across Chiefs kingdom and Kansas City also missed the playoffs for the first time in the Mahomes era.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-time World Series champion Miguel Rojas is set to have an emotional day on Sunday, September 13th, as he plays in what may be his final game for his longtime team.
Rojas has not played this series against the Marlins since they faced two different right-handed pitchers, with Alex Freeland taking all of the looks at second base.
Despite facing yet another righty, Roberts said Rojas will start and get his moment.
"He'll start tomorrow… For that reason. I talked to him about it; he's excited, and I'm excited to have him in there tomorrow," Roberts said.

Both of the Dodgers' runs came in the first inning from two different homers by Mookie Betts and Max Muncy.
They were back-to-back long **** that looked to start the game off with a bang, but after that, the Dodgers struggled to get consistent contact and hits.

One of the biggest and most controversial trades happened this offseason when the L.A. Rams traded for Myles Garrett. The organization entered the season with more expectations than ever, but its campaign began in embarrassing fashion, as the San Francisco 49ers dominated the Rams 27–7 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia.

The fans were disappointed with star pass rusher Myles Garrett, as his performance was really disappointing and he made virtually no impact in his Rams debut.
During a recent episode of "The Odd Couple," Fox Sports Radio host Rob Parker criticized several members of the Rams before turning his attention to the former Cleveland Browns star and saying:
"Myles Garrett was so terrible. He was a zero. He had nothing. Go look in the box score. His name's not even in there. You know why? He didn't do anything. No pressures. No sacks. No tackles. Nothing—not even a half tackle. Nothing. I would have rather had Mrs. Garrett from 'The Facts of Life' than Myles Garrett on my football team last night. That's how bad it was."

Heading into this week's season opener, there are a lot of questions surrounding the Browns. How will Deshaun Watson play? Will the new-look defense without Myles Garrett be anything close to what it has been in recent years?
Defensively, the trade of Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams shook up the NFL landscape during the offseason. Garrett was fresh off of breaking the NFL single-season sack record last season in Cleveland. In exchange, the Browns acquired young pass rusher Jared Verse and draft capital.
Ahead of this week's game against the Jaguars, Verse spoke out with a clear warning to Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

NBA rookies can sign contracts worth millions before they receive their first regular paycheck. The number on a rookie deal may grab attention, but the timing of those payments works very differently from what many fans **** ume.
Draymond Green recently explained how NBA players receive their salaries and why rookies can face a long wait before their first check. The system also allows players to negotiate how some of that money reaches them.
Green said NBA players are normally paid twice each month, but rookies enter the league under a different timeline. Their contracts can include an advance before the regular salary schedule begins, which gives new players some access to their earnings during that gap.

"Most people are paid every 1st and the 15th all year, an NBA rookie can take an advance up to 15% of their salary once they're signed," Green said. "What you should understand about rookies is the rookies don't get their 1st paycheck till November 15th, a month and a half into the season."

"Most people are paid every 1st and the 15th all year, an NBA rookie can take an advance up to 15% of their salary once they're signed," Green said. "What you should understand about rookies is the rookies don't get their 1st paycheck till November 15th, a month and a half into the season."

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kyle Tucker has started to click for another promising run of games, this time due to a mechanical shift.
He finished Friday's game against the Miami Marlins going 3-for-3 with a sacrifice fly, along with a triple and a grand slam.
Over his last two games, he is 6-for-8 with just one strikeout, two home runs, a triple, and a double.
Tucker has been a disappointment by all accounts this season, hitting just .225/.323/.361 with a 93 wRC+ and a 0.2 fWAR, per FanGraphs.

Eli Drinkwitz turned his postgame news conference in Lawrence toward a 90-second video on Friday night, a few hours after Missouri had settled the 122nd Border War 38-21 at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium.
The clip, ******* led "Heroes and Villains" and narrated by former Kansas nose tackle Gilbert Brown, went up on the Jayhawks' social accounts on Thursday and reached back to the Civil War fighting along the state line, splicing in images of John Brown and William Quantrill under a narration line about right and wrong, Kansas and Missouri.
Kansas ran it again on the videoboard shortly before kickoff. Drinkwitz was asked about it once the Tigers had moved to 2-0, and he did not stop at one sentence.

"Disappointed in the rivalry, the turn that it took today. I thought that was uncalled for, and you know, this is about two teams playing football, and especially on 9/11 when we need more unity now than ever before. To be putting some stuff on your screen, celebrating. I mean, everybody's got complicated pasts, you know, and to make that an icon was bizarre to me. And so I'm just glad, you know, that this whole right versus wrong bullcrap that was started just got settled on a football field because it's a football game. It's an American football game that people love to come watch and cheer for their teams. It's not even deeper than that, and I get there's a past to it. But why are we stirring that bullcrap up? You know, it's 9/11. This country needs unity now more than ever, and I was embarrassed for them to be honest, and that's why I tried to embarrass them at the end."

MIAMI — Josue De Paula's major league debut was never going to be judged by the box score alone.
The 21-year-old Dodgers prospect went 0-for-3 with a walk Friday night at LoanDepot Park, hardly the kind of debut that jumps off the page. But for a player who has spent years building toward this moment, the more meaningful signs came in the at-bats themselves.

The Pittsburgh Steelers retained all 10 rookie draft members on their 53-man roster, Eli Heidenreich who made the last selection. Heidenreich ousted a tough battle to make the final cut. But he did make it, after beating out several players for the third and final running back spot.
Head Coach Mike McCarthy has now opened up on Heidenreich's clear path to making the roster spot in a recent interview. The gaffer's comments show the technical side of Steelers' coaching crew and what future NFL hopefuls might want to prioritize during training.

Heidenreich was decent as a runner during the preseason. However, his special teams capabilities became a large part of the major reasons behind his selection. Moreover, those abilities give him some time to grow his offensive game. Steelers Depot, a Steelers-dedicated news platform shares McCarthy's comments in a recent tweet.
"It's a big part of it. He has to. I mean, he wouldn't be here today if he wasn't part of special teams responsibility. That's normal for young players, especially someone with Eli's skillset. So, yes, he's definitely making a lot of progress."

The Los Angeles Dodgers put Shohei Ohtani on the 15-day injured list and moved Eric Lauer to the 60-day injured list, allowing Josue De Paula to enter the active roster.
The Dodgers needed to free up a position on the 40-man roster, since De Paula was not on it, and Lauer was the player to make way.
Additionally, since Lauer was not on the active roster and was on the 15-day IL, his move was not enough for De Paula to make the active roster.
Shohei Ohtani was officially placed on the IL, paving the way for De Paula to take his spot, both on the team and in the lineup as the designated hitter.
