The official Serie A YouTube channel uploaded the highlights from Sunday's big showdown between Juventus and Lazio.
The first half didn't have too many major scoring opportunities, but the Biancocelesti came close at the half-hour mark through Gustav Isaksen, who tried to find the far corner with a sailing header but couldn't hit the target.
A few minutes later, Lazio got the breakthrough courtesy of an unlikely source, as Oliver Provstgaard headed home his first goal for the club after getting on the end of a glorious cross from his captain Mattia Zaccagni. Nuno Tavares almost scored from a deflected strike, but the ball ricocheted off the woodwork.
After the break, Randal Kolo Muani skipped past Josip Sutlo to present Nick Woltemade with an inviting opportunity to net the equaliser, but the Juventus substitute couldn't hit the target. At the other end of the pitch, Nuno Tavares found Isaksen with a wonderful cross-field pass, and the Danish winger cut past Zeki Celik and put the ball past Guglielmo Vicario to double Lazio's lead.
Player Ratings: Juventus 0-3 Lazio – Oliver the Conqueror

Marco Sturm is giving the Boston Bruins' younger players a chance to prove themselves, and Matt Poitras is taking full advantage of it.
Poitras signed a one-year, two-way deal on the day training camp opened, and one day later told reporters that he needs to "prove to everybody that I can be in the lineup every night." It was not all smooth sailing, though. He suffered a lower-body injury during training camp and missed the first three regular-season games before playing in the last six.
Ahead of his first game, Sturm said he was looking to "see [Poitras'] strengths, and I think just being smart, and skate." Six games later, Sturm is happy with what he's seen out of the 22-year-old center.
"Yeah, he's been solid, and that's all I'm asking for," Sturm said of Poitras after Saturday's game in Los Angeles. "I'm not asking for big points and goals, whatever. No, I want him to just do [his] job, and the rest will come automatically."
In his first five games of the season, Poitras centered the fourth line. He skated alongside Tanner Jeannot and Mark Kastelic, but with Pavel Zacha sidelined by an upper-body injury, Poitras moved into a top-six role.

The four-day Fully Loaded at Sea voyage sails from Miami to Cozumel, Mexico beginning Nov. 19
Kreischer says the inaugural trip depleted its vodka supply on the first night, requiring a resupply boat

Jamie Dimon has an impressive net worth of $3.2 billion and is the CEO of the largest bank in the U.S. — JPMorgan Chase. But it wasn't all smooth sailing to get to the position he is in today.
Back in 1998, when Dimon was 42 years old, he was asked to step down from his role as the president of Citigroup, despite the expectation that he would become CEO of the company under the tutelage of Sanford I. Weill and John S. Reed, Citigroup's co-chief executives.

It has not been smooth sailing for Alexander Zverev at the U.S. Open.
Zverev was down two sets to one against Italy's Lorenzo Sonego in the tournament's first round before producing a comeback win. The German star also went a full five sets against France's Quentis Halys in the second round before dominating Alejandro Tabilo in the third round.

Now Zverev faces Italy's Luciano Darderi in the Round of 16 on Monday, with the winner advancing to the U.S. Open quarterfinals.
While Zverev's girlfriend, Sophia Thomalla, isn't as active on social media as she used to be, she made several posts showing she was with Zverev in New York before the tournament began and is probably still there while he plays through the tournament.

What was looking like a tragedy in Ann Arbor quickly devolved into mania and euphoria, with No. 16 Michigan football earning a miracle win vs. Western Michigan.
After the game appeared over, with a Bryce Underwood desperation heave sailing out of the end zone and the clocks showing zeroes, it seemed as though Lance Taylor's Broncos had earned an incomprehensible 12-7 win. However, officials after review put one second back on the clock, allowing Underwood to connect with JJ Buchanan for a touchdown on the last play of the game, giving Michigan a 13-12 win over WMU.
More: How much did Michigan pay Western Michigan to scare living daylights out of it?
That later led to a rarely seen sight in Michigan Stadium, as Wolverines fans rushed the field to celebrate the victory:

Wendy Schmidt and Kos Evans
I love to sail. And, yes, I've been known to "rock." I've even meet a few rockstars over the years. (Just please don't tell my 14-year-old son I said so. He already thinks I'm pretty cringe.) I've met a few royals and attended some very cool art exhibitions over the years too.
But I've never been to a modern art exhibition that combines rockstars, yachts and all sorts of royalty quite like the event was held to benefit Nantucket Community Sailing at the oh-so-authentic Thomas Macy Warehouse on the island. And lots of well-connected people who love the ocean, yachts, and art were there to see Kos Evans's expanded Rock and Royals modern art collection. It features one-of-a-kind images of legendary rockstars and all sorts of royalty who sail, on rare, one-of-a-kind sailcloth from yachts owned by the likes of Pete Townshend, the Prince of Monaco, and American royalty such as JFK too.
Rock and Royals on display
According to KOS, Rock & Royals is more than an exhibition. "It's a celebration that pays homage to the legends who owned these sails and to the sea itself," she says. By transforming these authentic pieces of history into art, Kos creates a unique dialogue between history, celebrity, royalty, and contemporary artistic expression.

The Dodgers stared in the eyes of a third straight defeat, but a walk-off double by Teoscar Hernández lifted the Dodgers to a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday.
The Cardinals were the first to strike against Tarik Skubal, as after St. Louis put the first two men on with a pair of singles, Joshua Báez smacked the third single of the inning through the right side to bring home José Fermín.
Skubal managed to work a scoreless second inning with a pair of bookend strikeouts while leaving two men on, but the Cardinals broke through in the top of the third with a pair of two-out singles from Leo Bernal and Ramón Urías, plating Iván Herrera and doubling the Cardinal lead. Skubal found himself in a groove over his next two innings, but once again put two men on in top of the sixth inning. After striking out Nathan Church for the second out of the inning, Dave Roberts went to the bullpen, pulling the left-hander after 5 2/3 innings.
The Cardinals accounted for 10 hits against Skubal— all singles— which tied his career high for the most hits allowed in a single start. It was the first time Skubal couldn't complete six full innings since he tossed five against the Kansas City Royals on Aug. 11. The Cardinals wouldn't get an extra-base hit until Jordan Walker's double against Evan Phillips in the top of the seventh inning.
For a Dodgers team that struggled to hit with guys in scoring position the game prior, Thursday's matchup replicated those same misfortunes. The Dodgers scratched across a pair of baserunners in the bottom of the first inning, third inning and fifth inning against rookie Quinn Mathews, but each time, the offense found a way to be their own obstacle. The Dodgers were able to tack on one run against Mathews, with a wild pitch to Freddie Freeman in the fifth inning sailing past Herrera to plate Tommy Edman in the fifth.

The 2026 college football season is underway, and the Oklahoma Sooners will kick things off at home on Friday night against the UTEP Miners. OU's roster has been mostly set since the transfer portal madness died down in January, but the madness of eligibility lawsuits in college football has given the Sooners the opportunity to make some very last-minute additions to their roster.
According to multiple reports, former Boise State defensive lineman Braxton Fely has been granted a temporary restraining order against the NCAA. That TRO allows him to enter the transfer portal and play this season.
Fely was invited to an NFL minicamp, but he never signed an NFL contract. He plans to transfer to and play for Oklahoma in 2026. Fely spent four seasons with the Broncos. He was listed at 6-foot-1 and 296 pounds last season, and he was a starter at defensive tackle for Boise State. Fely was a second-team all-conference player for each of the last two years, and was a starter for three straight years.
Of course, Fely's status still depends on a preliminary injunction hearing, a process college football fans have become all too familiar with this offseason. The same goes for defensive lineman and incoming Arkansas transfer Danny Saili, who had an update in his case on Thursday as well. Saili committed to OU out of the transfer portal in August, having never pursued the NFL.
According to multiple reports, Saili was also granted a temporary restraining order on Thursday in a separate ruling from Fely's case. His situation is also pending a preliminary injunction hearing. However, Saili now appears on OU's official roster, and head coach Brent Venables stated that he is on the team and practicing. Saili has been allowed to go through team activities, but not play, at least until he was ruled eligible to play.

NORMAN — Oklahoma is adding significant depth at defensive tackle.
The Sooners are expected to add former Boise State defensive tackle Braxton Fely, The Oklahoman confirmed Thursday.
Fely was granted a temporary restraining order against the NCAA on Thursday in Cleveland County District Court, clearing him to compete until a future hearing on a permanent injunction is scheduled.
The order blocks the NCAA from enforcing any bylaw to keep him off the field, and separately bars the "Rule of Restitution," shielding OU from potential penalties for playing him.
Arkansas defensive tackle transfer Danny Saili has already been added to the roster and received a separate TRO on Thursday.

It wasn't as smooth sailing as they maybe would have liked, but in the end, Provo got the win over Mountain View in four sets 25-17, 25-26, 26-28, and 25-19 Tuesday night.
Provo has made easy work of its opponents so far this season coming into its game against Mountain View. Prior to this matchup, Provo had yet to drop a single set, and it looked like the Bulldogs were on their way once again to a quick, sweeping victory.
Looking in complete control after the first two sets, Provo showed some vulnerability in the 3rd set, giving Mountain View a window of hope that it took advantage of.
Provo bounced back quite nicely after dropping its first set of season and had no problem seeing the match out.
"They were calm and composed in the 4th and did a really good job. We have really good leadership on our team. A lot of really good seniors, and so, yeah, we just need to take care of business on our side," said Provo head coach Stefanie Magalei.

I have a confession to make. This whole season, I have been waiting for the other proverbial shoe to drop for Eduardo Rodriguez. I had a difficult time believing the same pitcher who had posted consecutive seasons with ERAs north of five could somehow transform himself into a legitimate Cy Young candidate. There were some legitimate reasons for that doubt too between his whiff percentage, strikeout rate, and chase rate all leave something to be desired – to say nothing of expected stats that paint an even worse picture. But at some point, you have to throw out all the other pieces of evidence and recognize that however he's doing it, Rodriguez is putting together one of the best pitching seasons in franchise history. And at a time in the season where every win is crucial, he delivered once more with an absolute gem against the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday afternoon. In seven innings of scoreless work, Rodriguez racked up nine strikeouts and allowed just five baserunners all game, inducing a whopping 18 swings and misses along the way.
It was a fairly dominant performance for the veteran lefty, but it wasn't all smooth sailing. In the visiting half of the sixth, Pete Crow-Armstrong, who was mostly contained in the series, stroked a leadoff double down the line and then moved over to third on Seiya Suzuki's groundout. After a shallow flyout from Alex Bregman wasn't deep enough for PCA to score, he decided to take matters into his own hands and bluffed a straight steal of home by sprinting halfway down the third base line. That move unsettled Rodriguez enough for him to shuffle off the pitching rubber before delivering to James McCann behind the plate. The entire Cubs dugout clamored for a balk call, but after a quick umpire consultation, it was declared not a balk – much to PCA's chagrin as he charged directly at the third base umpire and had to be held back by his coaches. After a few replays of the incident, I do think (as does Bob Brenly) that it probably was a balk. E-Rod clearly takes his left foot off the rubber before coming home with the ball, which would be very deceiving to a baserunner and which has always been the intent behind the balk rule. The play also highlighted the fact that every play should be reviewable as other angles show enough that the Cubs at least had an argument and when the margin is so thin, the call should be correct. It's worth watching the whole sequence for yourself to see where you fall on the decision:

For what it's worth, Chicago starter Matthew Boyd nearly matched Rodriguez zero for zero as the veteran journeyman allowed the same number of baserunners (five) in six innings of work and continued the excellent starting pitching the Cubs had in the series. His only mistake was a hanging changeup that Jordan Lawlar just lifted over the right field fence for the only run allowed by a Cubs starting pitcher. The D-Backs added an insurance run in the eighth when consecutive leadoff singles from McCann and La

It's worth watching the whole sequence for yourself to see where you fall on the decision:

For what it's worth, Chicago starter Matthew Boyd nearly matched Rodriguez zero for zero as the veteran journeyman allowed the same number of baserunners (five) in six innings of work and continued the excellent starting pitching the Cubs had in the series. His only mistake was a hanging changeup that Jordan Lawlar just lifted over the right field fence for the only run allowed by a Cubs starting pitcher. The D-Backs added an insurance run in the eighth when consecutive leadoff singles from McCann and La

The Tennessee ****** ans pulled out a come-from-behind victory over the Seattle Seahawks to close out Week 2 of the preseason, but it was not all fun and games.
The ****** ans' starters again had some hiccups, mostly against the Seahawks' second team. The defense was vanilla and gave up two big scoring plays over three series, and the offense sputtered under Cam Ward, managing only a single field goal over three drives.
While it was not a crisp outing, head coach Robert Saleh said he was pleased overall and is excited to see how they prepare for the final week of training camp.
Here is a quick report card on how the ****** ans fared against the defending Super Bowl champs.
The ****** ans' offense did do enough by the end to pull this one out, but it was not all smooth sailing. The starters struggled in their three series, managing only one field goal, but they looked a bit better than they did against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1. Quarterback Cam Ward was better, although he did appear shaky and slightly inaccurate, especially trying to force the ball to first-round pick Carnell Tate, who remains catchless through two preseason games.

With Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees tied 3-3, Baltimore Orioles slugger Pete Alonso stepped to the plate in the seventh inning looking to make some magic happen. For a few brief seconds, it looked as though Alonso came through. He belted a pitch deep down the left field line that was heading for the stands.
It was ruled foul, causing Alonso to exasperatedly gesture at first base. The ball was so close to the foul pole, however, that the umps initiated a crew chief review to take a closer look at the play.
Despite one angle appearing to show the ball sailing just inside the foul pole, the ball was deemed foul. Alonso eventually struck out to end the at-bat.
After the contest, Orioles players and manager Craig Albernaz shared their thoughts on the call, asking MLB to use more technology to determine whether a ball goes fair or foul.
Alonso compared it to football, where the pylon has a camera and can determine whether a ball crosses the goal line, per ESPN.

Historically, the S&P 500 has been one of the world's greatest wealth-generating machines, returning an average annual return of over 10% since its launch in 1957. But it has been far from smooth sailing. And if you bought shares at the wrong times (such as the peak of the dot-com bubble in 2000 or before the great financial crisis of 2007-2008), it would take several years to recover the value of your original investment.
Is 2026 another bad time to buy? While it's impossible to know for sure, several historical parallels offer clues about what might happen next.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
The cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings (CAPE) ratio is a stock market valuation metric that compares the S&P 500's current price with its inflation-adjusted earnings over the past decade. The long duration of the comparison helps smooth out the impacts of the business cycle, allowing investors to identify periods when shares are unusually pricey.
Right now, the market has a CAPE ratio of 42.5, a level not seen since it peaked at 44.2 in 1999 during the dot-com bubble. And there are some sharp parallels between the two time periods.

While everyone is gearing up for the Ohio State football season, and rightly so with the Buckeyes checking in as the preseason No. 1 team in both the preseason US LBM Coaches and **** ociated Press polls, the OSU basketball team is still putting in some work in the offseason to begin its season this winter.
One of the things some college basketball teams do these days is to take an overseas trip for added scrimmage and practice time, and for Jake Diebller's crew, they decided to get on an airplane and visit Puerto Rico to take in some sunshine, enjoy all the island has to offer, and, of course, get in some time playing as a unit against competition other than themselves.
We didn't really get to see much from the trip, but thanks to the Ohio State basketball creative team, we can get a little peek of the action in a short two-minute and 40-second video recap. From taking in the food and culture, hosting a kids' camp for island residents, to sailing on the ocean, to some scrimmage highlights with plenty of dunks, we think the video is well worth the little bit of your time to watch.
The national media has had a hard time figuring out what this Ohio State basketball team will be in the 2026-27 season, but some are calling the Buckeyes a dark horse. Based on some of the buzz we've heard and these highlights, don't be surprised if Ohio State punches above its projected weight this coming season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are starting their road trip off on a strong note at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies, and it was none other than Max Muncy who broke open the floodgates at the plate on Monday, Aug. 17.
In the top of the third inning, Muncy took full advantage of a sinker right down the middle of the plate from Rockies starter Tomoyuki Sugano and turned on it, sending the ball sailing into the second deck for a three-run home run to open up a five-run lead for LA. Coming in at a Statcast-projected 461 feet, it was the longest home run hit by a Dodger in 2026. The team's previous longest homer this season also belongs to Muncy at Coors Field when he hit one 452 feet on April 17.
Shohei Ohtani matched that with a 452-footer of his own in the top of the sixth on Monday.
Muncy continues to swing the bat well even as the Dodgers have collectively struggled at the plate since the trade deadline, hitting 10-for-44 with three home runs and 11 RBI with a .477 slugging percentage in the month of August while LA has dropped 11 of their last 16 games, including three of a pivotal four-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers that could have postseason implications.
"We haven't been good," Muncy told reporters after Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Brewers. "It's one of those stretches. We need urgency. We need to fix some things. … Today really sucked. It was a big game. We kind of needed to win this one, and we didn't. But it's just how it goes."

A man stuck in up to his knees in mud on the banks of a tidal river had to be rescued as rising waters almost engulfed him.
Coastguards were called to the incident at the River Alt close to Blundellsands Sailing Club in Sefton, Merseyside, on Sunday.
HM Coastguard Crosby said the terrain near the sailing club and river is "difficult to work in even in ideal conditions, never mind with a flooding tide quickly approaching the casualty".
With the help of the fire service, crews entered the mud and managed to free him.
He was ******* sed by paramedics and "luckily didn't require any further medical treatment", coastguards added.

Princess Anne turned 76 on Saturday, but her birthday this year seemed to be very understated due to one strict rule she follows, a royal expert has claimed.
Last year, the royal rang in her milestone 75th birthday by redirecting the spotlight to her patronages, hosting an abundance of charities at Buckingham Palace. For her celebrations this year, the Princess Royal stayed under the radar, once again shying away from the limelight.
According to royal expert Roya Nikkhah, Anne has a "no-frills" approach to her birthday celebrations, which hinges on one single digit. "Anne's policy is: 'I will do things for my birthdays that have a zero, but I won't do things for my birthdays that have a five'," the expert said on the Royals with Roya and Kate podcast.
The Princess Royal has a "no-frills" approach to her birthdays, according to a royal expert (@ Getty Images)
The royal spent her last major birthday, her 70th in 2020, sailing along the west coast of Scotland with her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence. Plans for a big family celebration had to be scaled back due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

Two hands. That's the way you're taught, from the first time you set foot on the court and your coach has you pair up to start practicing how to pass. Whether you're bouncing it off the wood or sailing it from your chest, you throw the pass with two hands. That's how you best ensure the ball will arrive safely; that's just how it's done.
"How it's done," of course, changes as the passer and recipient grow up, and especially as the passer grows more daring. In a story included in his wonderful 2010 book, "The Art of a Beautiful Game," Chris Ballard noted that part of what made Steve Nash such a brilliant and multifaceted facilitator was his predilection toward eschewing time-honored, bog-standard two-hand feeds in favor of one-handed deliveries from all angles. Those more risqué, insecure transmissions might set most orthodox coaches' teeth on edge. What Nash's coach lamented, though, was that we hadn't broken from orthodoxy sooner.
"Sometimes we're slow on teaching things," Mike D'Antoni told Ballard. "Most coaches teach you to put two hands on it, and to be honest with you, we probably need to teach kids to throw with one hand. Sometimes, I think we limit."
D'Antoni's coaching career was nothing if not a repudiation of those limits — a decades-long exploration of just how far, and how fast, one could push the line of offensive innovation. The results of that inquest include:
672 regular-season victories as an NBA head coach, placing him 22nd on the all-time coaching wins list;

NORMAN — Oklahoma football added depth to its defensive line on Monday.
The Sooners landed a commitment from Arkansas defensive tackle transfer Danny Saili, who was recently granted a fifth year of eligibility following the class of 2022 ruling in Colorado, On3 reported Monday night.
Saili's Instagram bio reads "D tackle at OU football."
Saili, who was listed at 6-foot-3, 319 pounds, saw action in 11 games last season for the Razorbacks, registering 10 tackles, a pass breakup and two quarterback hurries. He's been in the transfer portal since January.
Prior to his two seasons at Arkansas, Saili spent the spring of 2024 at BYU and played two seasons at Hutchinson Community College in Kansas. He was briefly committed to the Sooners during his time at Hutchinson.

The Oklahoma Sooners filled their final roster spot on Monday night. The Sooners are expected to add Arkansas transfer defensive tackle Danny Saili, according to a report from On3's Pete Nakos and SoonerScoop's George Stoia. Saili entered the transfer portal back in January. Saili joins the Sooners with one year of eligibility remaining.
Saili was originally committed to Oklahoma from Hutchinson Community College in Kansas back in 2023 before flipping to BYU late in the cycle. After spending a season with the Cougars, Saili transferred to Arkansas, where he spent the last two seasons.
He played in 18 games for the Razorbacks, recording 14 total tackles and 2.5 sacks. According to Pro Football Focus, he played 379 snaps over the last two seasons, including 313 snaps in 2025. PFF graded him as a top-20 run defender in the SEC among defensive tackles with at least 170 snaps.
With a lot of experience and fantastic size, Saili will have an opportunity to push for rotational snaps at the nose tackle spot behind Jayden Jackson.
At 6-foot-6 and nearly 320 pounds, Saili has the size to take up ******* e and eat up double teams in the running game. He'll keep the linebacker corps clean and allow the defensive line around him to work against one-on-one ******* ignments more. Saili won't be easily moved off his spot, creating disruption in the running game.

Arkansas transfer defensive lineman Danny Saili has committed to Oklahoma, On3's Pete Nakos reported. Saili will be playing his final season of college football in Norman for Brent Venables and the Sooners after receiving an extra year of eligibility.
Saili's career began at Hutchinson (KS) CC, where he played from 2022-2023. He then transferred to BYU for the Spring 2024 semester, before subsequently transferring to Arkansas ahead of the 2024 season. Across two seasons at Arkansas, Saili played in 18 games and recorded 14 tackles and 2.5 TFL.
The Topeka, Kansas native heads to an Oklahoma program fresh off an appearance in the College Football Playoff. He joins a Sooners defense that was tabbed as the best in the country by Crain & Cone heading into the 2026 season. Last season, Oklahoma ranked first in the SEC in YPG allowed (272.5 YPG) and PPG allowed (15.5 PPG).
At SEC Media Days last month, head coach Brent Venables opened up about not taking his defense for granted this season. The Sooners are seeking their second consecutive College Football Playoff appearance in 2026, and their defense will be key in making that happen.
"Defensively I don't take anything for granted," Venables said. "I say that to remind certainly myself but everybody that every year there's a new storyline when it comes to players emerging, players coming out of nowhere.

For those observing outside the ropes. an NFL training camp exists, typically, in opinions. You'll have highlight plays and memorable moments, sure, but two different people can watch the same practices and gradually come to conflicting verdicts on evidence as perceived.
Every so often, though, the evidence is irrefutable to anyone watching. It's just obvious.
First-round rookie receiver Carnell Tate is happening in such a way.
During the Tennessee ******* ans' Aug. 9 practice on the eve of their cross-country trip to San Francisco (for practice with the 49ers), Tate was the story. He caught a touchdown pass from Cam Ward. Then he caught another. Then he grabbed a third, sailing above Marcus Harris to secure a jump ball.

Alli Dore is sharing the results of her recent plastic surgery.
The Below Deck Sailing Yacht alum, 38, took to Instagram on Tuesday, July 28, to open up about the dramatic rib recontouring procedure, in which she reshaped her ribs to cinch her waist.
Dore, who flew to Bali for the surgery, posted before-and-after pics of her torso, noting she was almost halfway through her recovery period.
Sharing pics of both her front and back, the former Bravo star posed in a swimsuit as she showed off her noticeably smaller waist.
"Just under halfway at 5.5 weeks out of 12 and already convinced this is the best thing I've done," Dore wrote. "Thank you to the _snatchedwaist team for making this such a positive experience!"
