It's finally here. Time to bring the early looks to the table. This is Week 1 for everyone, which means that the players' prices were established in July; take advantage of that. We know (for the most part) who will be the value picks and who is undervalued; take advantage of that.
And as far as players go, we are on the same footing with the sharks. Everyone is going off of what they think will happen because of last year's stats, but no one really knows. What we do know is that, historically, since the NFL has gone to three games in the preseason, Week 1 games typically go under their projected point total about 60% of the time; take advantage of that.
It's Week 1; don't be afraid of the chalk plays (yes, talking about you, Jahmyr Gibbs) and don't be afraid to get different. Let's get going.
There are 12 games on the main slate this week. You have to decide if you are playing: a) cash games or tournaments; and b) if you are selecting your player pool by game environment or matchups, or a combination of both.
When you rely on game environment, your player pool strategy is taking into consideration the complete context of the game. You are considering the pace of the game and the overall scoring potential of specific matchups.

EL SEGUNDO -- The Los Angeles Kings held a practice in preparation for the 2026 Rookie Faceoff today at Toyota Sports Performance Center.
The Rookie Faceoff is an annual event held every year before the start of the season for some of the top prospects on certain teams, and one of many such events held throughout the NHL. This year's Rookie Faceoff takes place from Sep. 12-15 in San Jose, and will feature the Kings, Anaheim Ducks, San Jose Sharks, Vegas Golden Knights, Colorado Avalanche and Utah Mammoth. Although many of the players involved will not play in the NHL this season, these events still unofficially kick off the 2026-27 campaign.
"There's definitely a feeling of, 'We're really representing the organization out of the gates to start the year,'" said Ontario Reign head coach Andrew Lord, who will lead the Rookie Faceoff team. "Yes, it's a rookie tournament … but we're representing the team."
The Kings' roster is highlighted by a handful of players, including 2025 first-round pick Henry Brzustewicz, 2025 second-round pick Vojtech Cihar, and top goalie prospects Carter George and Hampton Slukynsky. While playing together as a team, each individual player is also looking to stand out and prove themselves to the front office and the coaching staff.
"You can't worry too much about that," Slukynsky said. "Just focus on yourself and doing what you can do and controlling what you can control. Obviously, we're all competing with each other, but it's good that we push each other and we support each other and help each other get better, but everybody wants to play and compete. So it's been good and it's fun to compete with all these guys."

3 burning Blackhawks questions entering 2026-27 NHL season appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Chicago Blackhawks once again missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2026. The Blackhawks did not reach the highs that similar teams such as the San Jose Sharks reached a year ago. But Connor Bedard and his teammates still made progress as a team in 2025-26.
The Blackhawks want to turn the corner sooner rather than later. Chicago has some very intriguing young players they want to see make an impact. They know what they have in Bedard, but they still have spots to fill across the lineup.
This summer, Chicago was hit with unfortunate news. Bedard suffered an injury during a summer practice and will miss the beginning of this coming season. It's a rough blow for the Blackhawks, as the former first-overall pick is clearly the team's best player.

Every possession between Southside and Westgate football swung the momentum of the game as two 337 heavyweights went toe-to-toe for some Thursday Night Lights.
Each score took the form of a body blow, a right hook or a left jab. In the end, Westgate's sophomore linebacker Ernest "Bam" Curl delivered the knockout blow scooping up a Sharks fumble and taking it all the way to the house, capping off Westgate's 42-33 victory over Class 5A Southside on Thursday, Sept. 10 in Youngsville.
"It just so satisfying that our kid Ernest Curl, who went through a lot with some confidence issues and just trying to figure out his role on the team, for him to get that ball in his hands to help win that game, I'm so proud of him," Westgate football coach Ryan Antoine said.
With Curl's scoop and score sucking the life out of the Reef and Southside's sideline, Westgate not only handed the Sharks their second loss of the season but also further proved that the Tigers are one of the hottest teams to watch from the area in 2026.
From the first quarter, fans knew this game was going to come down to the wire. The two teams went back and forth with Southside making a living on the ground game while Westgate's flashy pass game carried it.

"Shark Tank" star Barbara Corcoran has some thoughts about reality TV personality Kylie Jenner's yearslong home design project.
When asked to weigh in on the 29-year-old makeup mogul's build-in-progress, which has been in the works since 2020, the 77-year-old real estate tycoon gave TMZ a candid response.
"Not worth it," Corcoran said. "You should see my house. It's much nicer."
Corcoran elaborated on her advice, explaining, "You don't enjoy the home when you're too particular about the design. When you finally get it, it's like a showcase, and you don't really live there."
The entrepreneur insisted she speaks from experience, adding it's a lesson that she's "learned over the years."

Texas A&M coach Mike Elko does not expect the SEC's escalating dispute with LSU to end with the Tigers being removed from the conference. During Wednesday's Aggie Football Hour, Elko compared the public standoff to a child testing a parent's limits before quickly backing down.
The SEC is no longer expected to vote Thursday on LSU's membership after the school finalized its 105-player football roster without former NFL players Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris. Both players signed NFL contracts and participated in training camps before attempting to return to college football.
The controversy escalated after a Louisiana judge issued a preliminary injunction that opened the door for Wright, Harris and other athletes to regain their college eligibility. The SEC opposed LSU's plans, filed a federal lawsuit and scheduled a meeting of conference presidents and chancellors to consider the school's membership.
"This is a little bit like the son figuring out where the limits are until dad comes home and raises his voice, and then the son goes, 'I was just kidding, I didn't mean any of that,'" Elko said.
College athletics has resembled a never-ending soap opera in recent years, and the situation has only become more chaotic over the past few months. It is fair to say the sport has officially "jumped the shark."

Kevin O'Leary has made his frugality almost as famous as his bluntness. The Shark Tank investor recently went viral standing in a Walmart aisle, comparing Bounty paper towel pack sizes and showing off the $29 black jeans he wears regularly. "Inflation affects all of us," he said in the Instagram video. "Saving dough is the name of the game."
But there's a category where Mr. Wonderful doesn't save dough, and it will surprise you.

Several of architect David McLay Kidd's most popular courses have focused on extreme and creative playability, with Gamble Sands in Washington and Mammoth Dunes at Sand Valley in Wisconsin as prime examples. Even his first-ever design, the original Bandon Dunes layout at the famed resort of the same name in Oregon, put playability at the forefront.
Kidd had a few deviations from the playability theme in his career, but in recent years he has talked at length about designing courses that are approachable for any level of golfer. The trick, he has said, is to challenge the best players while allowing less-skilled golfers to keep swinging.
Consider that challenge accepted at Bone Valley in Florida, his latest completed creation that will open in late September for preview play at the well-regarded Streamsong Resort. Built with an appreciation of the resort's other courses and with those layouts' DNA in mind, Kidd has constructed a new, full-sized 18 that offers ample width and plenty of opportunities to bounce **** into greens – those are keys to playability for less-skilled players.
But just as megalodon shark teeth can be found in the sand piles left over from the site's history as a phosphate mining operation, Bone Valley can offer a bit of a bite. Stray too far from the best scoring lines, and even the best players will struggle with the angles as they attempt to set up birdie putts.
"My team and I felt like we got to build something really, really fun both visually, strategically, creatively," Kidd said. "I think golfers, when they come here, won't be disappointed. I think they'll have a blast trying to figure out how to navigate their way through. I think every hole has a dozen different attacks you could make, a thousand different ways you could recover from error. It's not overly penal, but she is going to put up a fight against scoring. I think I've been able to refine that over the last dozen years or so."

Kevin O'Leary has a net worth of approximately $400 million. He owns homes in Florida, Massachusetts, and Toronto. He's one of the most recognizable faces on Shark Tank. And last week, he was standing in a Walmart aisle, comparing paper towel pack sizes to make sure he was getting the best deal.
"Inflation affects all of us," O'Leary said on a recent Instagram post of him inside a Walmart store. "Saving dough is the name of the game. That means focusing on value and always looking for great deals. I know I am!"

Second quarter performance fell short of projections due to a strategic push into product innovation that moved too far away from the brand's core customization experience.
Management attributed the DTC revenue decline to the underperformance of the summer trend collection, specifically less-customizable concepts like Slushie Plushies that failed to resonate with guests.
Persistent macroeconomic challenges and soft web traffic contributed to a decline in transactions, though average units per transaction increased.
The company identified a clear guest preference for 'Make-Your-Own' signature experiences, evidenced by the sell-out of the dressable Chummy Shark and growth in the Promise Pets platform.

The NHL has its first $20 million man. Friday, the Avalanche announced an eight-year, $163.2 million contract extension with Cale Makar. The average annual value comes in at $20.4 million, handing the 27-year-old star defenseman the highest AAV in league history. It's just below the league maximum at $20.8M, and the total contract is the largest in NHL history.
Makar's landmark contract comes just a month after Sharks center Macklin Celebrini set a new high-water mark at $18.8 million AAV as part of a five-year, $94 million deal. Though bigger, Makar's deal similarly contains eye-popping signing bonuses: In the final year, at age 36, Makar will be guaranteed a whopping $18.8 million.
The highest NHL AAV has now been smashed four times throughout the past year—and three times this summer alone.
In September 2025, Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov signed a then-record $136 million, eight-year extension at $17 million AAV—resetting the market for the league's stars. In June, offer-sheet drama surrounding Leo Carlsson pushed the Ducks to sign the center to an $18 million AAV deal. But in July, Celebrini agreed to his deal, and Makar knocked him off less than a month later.
Makar is the only defenseman of the four. Along with setting a new high bar in the sport, his deal also ratchets up the market for the NHL's other top defensemen, whose new contracts are imminent: particularly Quinn Hughes, who was moved to Minnesota in a blockbuster trade last season; and Matthew Schaefer of the Islanders, who is coming off of a Calder Trophy–winning season during which he banked rookie records.

Aug. 26—GRAND FORKS — The UND football program opens the 2026 season at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Alerus Center against a first-time foe in Long Island University.
Here are eight things to know about the Sharks.
LIU featured an offense last season utilizing the quarterback run game, behind co-offensive coordinators Kort Shankweiler and John Roberts.
The Sharks have a new play-caller in 2026 in Maurice Harris, a veteran coach with ties to Hugh Freeze, most recently the former head coach at Auburn.
Still, UND has been practicing for a lot of quarterback run game.

For a man reportedly worth more than $10 billion, entrepreneur Mark Cuban spends a lot of time talking about wealth inequality—and how to distribute it more evenly.
The 'Shark Tank' star has long shared suggestions—and has enacted his plans—to better balance income throughout the U.S. economy. One of Cuban's ideas was to give employees company stock: he told a recent episode of the 'What It Takes' podcast that he awarded 330 employees at his media company, Broadcast.com, stock ahead of Yahoo's $5.7 billion acquisition of the company in 1999. Three hundred of those employees became millionaires as a result, he said.
Cuban also awarded equity and cash bonuses to employees of his first IT consulting company, MicroSolutions.
But the famed investor has now taken the suggestion a step further: If founders and CEOs don't seek to share the wealth generated by their companies with their employees, they should be forced to give back to society by paying higher corporate taxes.
Writing on X, the cofounder of online pharmacy Cost Plus Drugs, was asked what his plan would be to reduce wealth inequality across the country. He responded: "Increase the taxes of any company that doesn't offer equity to every employee on a pro rata basis to non-founder executives. If they get rich from the market, so do they.
"It's exactly what I have done for employees in companies I have started. Most wealthy people get that way from selling their companies or taking them public."
While Cuban proposes increased taxes as a motivator to get business leaders to share equity more broadly, a criticism of higher taxes (and tariffs, as consumers have learned the hard way) is that increases to company costs are often passed back to customers and ultimately the public. This represents a further stretch on budgets of consumers already dealing with above-target inflation, and without the boon of company stock to fall back on.

Writing on X, the cofounder of online pharmacy Cost Plus Drugs, was asked what his plan would be to reduce wealth inequality across the country. He responded: "Increase the taxes of any company that doesn't offer equity to every employee on a pro rata basis to non-founder executives. If they get rich from the market, so do they.
"It's exactly what I have done for employees in companies I have started. Most wealthy people get that way from selling their companies or taking them public."
While Cuban proposes increased taxes as a motivator to get business leaders to share equity more broadly, a criticism of higher taxes (and tariffs, as consumers have learned the hard way) is that increases to company costs are often passed back to customers and ultimately the public. This represents a further stretch on budgets of consumers already dealing with above-target inflation, and without the boon of company stock to fall back on.

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.

Kenya Moore is officially heading back to the Miss USA stage more than three decades after winning the crown.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum has been confirmed as a co-host of the Miss USA 75th Diamond Celebration, airing live Thursday, Aug. 27 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW. Moore will share hosting duties with Beverly Hills, 90210 and Sharknado star Ian Ziering for the two-hour event at Miami's Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
Miss USA announced the pair on Instagram after initially teasing Moore's involvement without naming her. "You guessed right! Meet the hosts of the historic 75th Diamond Celebration of MISS USA, kenya and ianziering!" the organization wrote in its follow-up post. "The countdown to Miami is officially ON, and we can't wait to celebrate 75 years of Miss USA with you."
The confirmation clears up earlier reports that Moore was merely being eyed for the job. Miss USA had first posted a Reel describing a mystery co-host as a former winner who parlayed her crown into a lengthy reality television career. "Now she's coming back to the Miss USA stage to co-host the 75th Diamond Celebration," the organization teased. The clues quickly pointed to Moore before Miss USA made her participation official.

PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — New Zealand passed its last examination before the eagerly awaited test series against world champion South Africa when the Bulls were dispatched 50-19 at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
The All Blacks dominated to lead 24-0 at halftime and perhaps their first match at altitude contributed to a closer, more back and forth second half.
They still racked up eight tries, with doubles for wingers Josh Moorby and Leroy Carter and captain Codie Taylor, while conceding their first points in more than two hours across the tour matches against the Stormers, Sharks and Bulls.
Only a few of the New Zealand side were expected to line up in the first test next Saturday in Johannesburg, but valuable experience was gained by the wider squad whose depth will be plumbed during the grueling run of four tests on four straight weekends.
The likes of flanker Anton Segner, the returning Taylor and center Rieko Ioane impressed for New Zealand in an expansive, entertaining affair.

PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — New Zealand's injury toll has worsened on its historic rugby tour of South Africa — and the test series was still a week away.
Winger Caleb Clarke was the third player to be going home after rupturing a shoulder tendon on Tuesday in the 54-0 win against the Sharks in Durban.
The injury required surgery and only then will a timeframe on his recovery be known, the All Blacks said on Friday.
Clarke will not be immediately replaced. Coach Dave Rennie said he was comfortable that their six other outside backs were enough cover, although test regular Will Jordan was a doubt for the first test against the Springboks next week because of a back injury.
"I am gutted to be going home because I've loved my time here so much," Clarke said in a statement.

A lifeguard in Maine said he "started swimming like ****** " when a shark grabbed onto his buoy and pulled him underwater off the coast of Scarborough Beach on Saturday.
Greg Wilfert said he initially thought he was caught in the propeller of a boat.
"'Cause that's the only thing I could think of until I realized there was no boat," he said.
Wilfert said he was pulled about 5 feet underwater before he was able to get free and emerge on shore unharmed.
"It was frightening," he said. "I'm not going to deny that."

New Zealand continue their preparations for the Rugby's Greatest Rivalry series against South Africa as they take on the Sharks, and a familiar face, in Durban.
The All Blacks opened their landmark tour with a scratchy performance but eventual win over the Stormers in Cape Town, and will hope to build cohesion and continuity as they continue their adventure.
They will encounter an old friend in Ma'a Nonu, with the 44-year-old centre included in the Sharks squad after signing a short-term deal with the United Rugby Championship side.
Nonu won 103 caps and two World Cups during his All Blacks career, and is set to feature off the bench against the current crop.
Here's everything you need to know.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — The Stormers believe they are playing for the future of traditional rugby tours when they give New Zealand the opening challenge of its South Africa trek on Friday.
The All Blacks are undertaking their first tour of tests and provincial games in South Africa in 30 years. The Springboks will repay the visit in New Zealand in 2030 and New Zealand will return in 2034.
But Stormers coach John Dobson said the provincial games will become insignificant if his team plus the Sharks, the Bulls or Lions do not knock off the All Blacks, or are at least competitive.
"When the British and Irish Lions were here in 2021 the situation was far from ideal and the results didn't do justice to the traditional tour concept," Dobson told SuperSport.
"Due to it being played during the time of the COVID pandemic, that Lions tour was an unsatisfactory product. The teams were in a bubble, we had players in quarantine, the games were played in front of empty stadiums. And all the local franchise teams took heavy hidings. The Lions won their games by 60 points or more.

The 2026 Indoor Football League playoffs are in full swing, with the conference championships to determine who gets to play in next weekend's ****** le game. On Sunday, it'll be the Tulsa Oilers vs. the Green Bay Blizzard, and the Arizona Rattlers vs. the San Diego Strike Force.
All postseason games will be broadcast nationally for free on Yahoo Sports Network for the first time after a historic regular season that saw the IFL surpass 4.5 million total streams and more than 30.6 million minutes watched on YSN.
After a heated race to the playoffs, which teams will emerge and advance to the IFL National Championship on Aug. 16? Read more on each matchup below.
After securing a dominant 73-59 win over the Orlando Pirates in the first round of the playoffs last weekend, the top-seeded Green Bay Blizzard will be back on their home turf, looking to dispatch the No. 3 Tulsa Oilers en route to the championship game. Tulsa, meanwhile, upset the No. 2 Jacksonville Sharks last Saturday in a close one, 31-28.
In their only matchup during the regular season, the Blizzard beat the Oilers 41-35 on May 16 — so these teams are not the most familiar with each other. Both teams boast members of the newly announced All-Rookie Team — RB Kairee Robinson (Green Bay) and DB Justin Harrington (Tulsa).
