The Dallas Cowboys came into Lambeau Field on Sunday Night Football with a high-powered offense. Dak Prescott and company led the offense in many drive-based statistics, including the percentage of offensive drives ending in a score, plays per drive, and yards per drive.
Against Jonathan Gannon's aggressive Green Bay Packers defense, the Cowboys managed just seven points on nine offensive drives as the green and gold expanded their league-leading interception numbers. Evan Williams and rookie Brandon Cisse each picked off Dak Prescott, who was under pressure all night long, as the defense led the way in a 23-13 win that improved the Packers' record to 4-2.
Prescott's counterpart, Jordan Love, shook off an early interception of his own to put up a high-quality performance. That pick could have been a truly game-changing play, as it was originally returned for a touchdown that would have tied the game at 7 early on. Instead, the scoring return was nullified on review and the Packers' defense ended up getting a stop to keep Dallas off the scoreboard. The Packers' offense went on to convert each of their first seven third-down opportunities and finished 11-of-18 for the game as Love delivered under pressure time and time again.
Ultimately, Love failed to record multiple touchdown passes for the first time in a game all season, but it wasn't for lack of trying; he saw three potential touchdown passes get dropped by his receivers, but still managed to throw for 276 yards. Matthew Golden was the biggest offender, with two of those dropped scores and a third drop later in the game, but he did end the game with an excellent stat line: six catches for 104 yards and the only receiving touchdown of the game. Additionally, Love did end up being responsible for a second touchdown, getting the Packers' other score on a quarterback sneak just before halftime as the team led 17-0 heading into the break.
The Green Bay defense kept up its excellent play in the second half. After giving up a single touchdown early in the third quarter, they forced turnovers on downs twice in the fourth before allowing a touchdown in garbage time while holding a 16-point lead — though they came up with a big stop on the two-point conversion to largely put an end to the game.

Jessica Chastain cried on command and showed off her sinister "Other Mommy" smile on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," earning praise from the internet Thursday.
The Academy Award-winning actress taught the late-night host and his audience how she crafted the creepy smile for her upcoming horror film. She shared that the trick was to hold tension in her body while plastering on a fake smile.
Chastain shook slightly as she locked into the expression, dropping a single tear as she stared down the camera lens.
"You just spurted out that tear with no problem like that?" the late night host asked.
"I'm a trained actress, Jimmy," she replied.

Several world-famous celebs gathered for the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2027 show during Paris Fashion Week. Among the stars in Paris was Zendaya, who not only turned heads with her look but also made headlines for a brief interaction she had with Brigitte Macron, the First Lady of France.
In a video shared by Alexandre Maras, editor-in-chief of Paris Match, you can see the exact moment Brigitte Macron walks over to greet the Dune actress. During this brief encounter in the Cour Carrée of the Louvre Museum, 30-year-old Zendaya remained seated. The president's wife leaned in slightly to shake the actress's hand. The Euphoria star returned the gesture, shook her hand, and said it was a pleasure to meet her.
Moments before 73-year-old Brigitte Macron approached Zendaya, Bernard Arnault, CEO of the luxury group LVMH, had also greeted the actress. The executive leads the luxury conglomerate that brings together more than 75 internationally renowned brands, such as Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Fendi, Celine, Loewe, Givenchy, Marc Jacobs, Kenzo, among others.

Zendaya behaved the same way with Arnault; she greeted him, shook his hand, and stayed in her seat. Debate quickly erupted on social media. Some argued that the actress should have stood up out of courtesy and greeted them both on her feet—first, because of their positions as First Lady and top executive, and second, because they are older.

Valerie Bertinelli fired back at "haters" after posting a tribute to her ex-husband, Eddie Van Halen, on the anniversary of his death.
On Tuesday, October 6, the One Day at a Time and Hot in Cleveland actress, 66, took to Instagram with a video message for followers.
"Strap in haters, let's go for a little ride," she captioned the update, alongside emojis of a hand flashing a peace sign, a white heart, and red lips.
In the video, she shook her head and pointed out, "It does not take long for me to get a lot of pushback when I post a picture of me and Ed. It used to really bother me. It does not. Not any longer because I learned a lot."
Van Halen died at 65 in 2020, following a stroke and battles with lung cancer and throat cancer. He and Bertinelli were married from 1981 to 2007; during that time they welcomed a son, Wolfgang Van Halen, 35.

Zendaya is facing backlash after a video of her meeting France's First Lady went viral. The clip, shared by Paris Match, shows the actress staying seated while Brigitte Macron stopped by to say ******* o at the Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week. The brief moment has caught everyone's attention online, with many debating whether she should have stood up.
Zendaya's seated ******* o to Brigitte Macron leaves social media divided. The 30-year-old actress sat in the front row at Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2027 show on Tuesday. The show was held in the Cour Carrée of the Louvre.
In the video shared online, Macron, 73, walks through the front row, greeting guests like Pharrell Williams and Lisa of BLACKPINK. She then pauses to speak with Zendaya. At first glance, the exchange looks warm and friendly. But upon closer look, Zendaya never rises from her seat. Reportedly, she said ******* o, told Macron it was a pleasure to meet her, and shook her hand.
The clip quickly sparked debate online. Some viewers criticized Zendaya for remaining seated, with one viral reaction saying she "gotta get up" when the First Lady says ******* o. Many viewers agreed, saying standing would have been the polite thing to do. "When the Premier Dame from France Talks to You please get up," one Instagram user wrote. Another commenter, who said she loves Zendaya, noted that American culture seems more relaxed about formalities than others.
Others came to her defense. Some fans suggested she may have been caught off guard, pointing out that the greeting was quick and unplanned. A few added that a busy front row at a fashion show isn't exactly a formal setting, and that Zendaya came across as gracious and polite throughout. Neither Zendaya nor Macron has addressed the reactions yet. For the unversed, Zendaya is a Louis Vuitton ambassador and a regular at the brand's Paris shows.

EDINBURG, Texas (AP) — Quinten Martinez, pumping gas under a hot South Texas sun, remembers a time when fueling up didn't require difficult decisions.
"Is it going to be groceries this week?" asked the 28-year-old Amazon delivery driver as he watched the numbers tick higher. "Is it gonna be getting gas in our tank to go to work?"
He shook his head when asked about President Donald Trump's **** ertion last week that higher gas prices are a small price to pay for the war with Iran.
"I don't feel like it's a good trade-off," Martinez said. "I don't feel like this is good for anyone."
Voters across the country, and across the political spectrum, tend to agree.

XRP shook off a sharp regulatory setback this week, climbing more than 7% over 24 hours to trade near $1.39 after briefly touching lows around $1.27.
The rebound followed a rocky 48 hours that combined a failed Senate vote with the Federal Reserve's first rate hike since 2023.
Cloture is the Senate procedure required to end debate and move a bill toward a final vote, needing 60 senators to succeed. On September 15, the CLARITY Act fell short in a narrow 50-49 tally, missing that threshold and stalling a proposed federal framework for digital **** ets.
XRP dropped more than 8% in the immediate aftermath, touching lows near $1.27 to $1.28. Pressure intensified the next day when the Fed raised its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to a range of 3.75% to 4.00%, a move that typically weighs on risk **** ets broadly.
The sell-off, however, proved short-lived. XRP has since rebounded to $1.39, up 7.23% over 24 hours, even as the token slipped slightly by 0.30% in the past hour. Trading volume held near $3.9 billion, close to its 30-day average, suggesting genuine buying rather than thin, low-liquidity trading.

Markets have a familiar reflex when fear spreads through technology stocks. Investors wait to hear what Jim Cramer thinks.
This week, the fear did not come from a short seller or a regulator. It came from inside the AI industry itself, from one of its own leaders.
Cramer said Wednesday, Sept. 16, that he won't back away from the AI trade, according to CNBC. That comes despite a weekend essay from a top AI executive arguing that the technology is moving too fast.
He predicted spending on AI infrastructure will keep climbing, because the industry's two biggest labs are already turning that spending into real revenue. There's too much money at stake for them to stop now, the "Mad Money" host said.
The warning that shook markets came from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, not from a critic outside the industry. In an essay ****** led "We Must Pace the Frontier," Amodei wrote that we must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models.

AUBURN — Byrum Brown's first home game with Auburn football was already seeing an impressive performance from the quarterback. Then he caught a touchdown pass.
Brown shook a three-interception performance from Week 1 and delivered 319 yards of total offense and three scores in a 43-8 win against Southern Miss on Saturday, Sept. 12. His final touchdown saw him tumble over the goal line on fourth-and-3, after wide receiver Christian Neptune found him wide-open for a 5-yard completion.
RECAP, HIGHLIGHTS: Auburn football handles Southern Miss for blowout win
It was Brown's first reception in two seasons and the fourth reception of his career, but that's an uncommon occurrence for a passer on the Plains. The last time an Auburn quarterback caught a touchdown pass was in 2012, when Kiehl Frazier did so against Lousiana-Monroe.
Run. Pass. Catch. 🤜🫷

The Cleveland Browns are set to kick off their 2026 NFL season on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday afternoon.

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.

DELMAR - The Columbia football team opened a lot of eyes with its Week 1 victory over Queensbury. For those still wondering whether that win was an aberration, the Blue Devils showed Bethlehem Thursday evening that they are a force to be reckoned with.
Columbia shook off a slow start and registered another impressive all-around performance in posting a 31-0 Class A road victory over the Eagles.
It seemed apropos that Columbia senior two-way lineman Adam Burek departed the field after the game with a sledgehammer draped over his right shoulder. The Blue Devils sure brought the muscle Thursday.
The Blue Devils (2-0 overall, 2-0 Class A) were coming off a resounding 48-27 Week 1 triumph over Queensbury, a team that knocked Columbia out of the Class A playoffs in 2025 and 2024. Thursday, Columbia generated a 443-138 edge in offense and never allowed Bethlehem (0-2, 0-2) to reach the red zone.
"It feels great. We had a great offseason with all the guys. We had a good camp and we have really just brought it together the last two weeks," Burek said.

The 2026 NFL season will be Jared Goff's sixth season in a Detroit Lions uniform. Goff played in all 17 games last season for Detroit. He completed 68.0% of his passes for 4,564 yards, 34 touchdowns and eight interceptions, finishing second in the NFL in both passing yards and passing touchdowns.
That production still was not enough to put him inside the top 10 at his position entering this season.
Nick Shook of NFL.com sorted all 32 starting quarterbacks into tiers ahead of Week 1. Tier 1 held only four names: Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford, Patrick Mahomes and Drake Maye. Goff landed in Tier 2 at No. 11 overall, one spot outside the top 10.
Shook wrote, "Jared Goff and the Lions have plenty to prove after missing the playoffs last season, although their offensive line concerns me and could be an issue if it doesn't collectively elevate its play in 2026."
Detroit finished 9-8 last season, fourth in the NFC North, and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2022. The Lions will look to get back for the third time in four seasons when they open the season against the New Orleans Saints at Ford Field on Sunday.

There was little doubt prior to kickoff that BYU's season opener against Utah Tech wasn't going to go exactly as it went. The No. 14-ranked Cougars, a seven-touchdown favorite, overwhelmed the Trailblazers in all phases of the game to win by eight touchdowns, 63-7.
Along the way, there were three key plays that set BYU on a course to quickly turn opening night into a glorified pre-game workout for next week's Big 12 opener against Arizona. Here they are:
Cannon DeVries had dreamed about just such a moment growing up in North Ogden and playing football at Weber High — he wanted to get to LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo and return a kickoff for a touchdown.
Saturday night against Utah Tech — his moment came.
Determined for a return, DeVries fielded the second-half kickoff a couple of steps inside his own end zone. Once he reached the 7-yard line, he veered away from the right side to the left. On the way, he shook off a would-be tackler around the 15.

The torch has officially been passed. The glorious era of the Allen family's ownership of the Seattle Seahawks has officially come to an end. In the week leading up to the season opener, ownership transferred from the Paul Allen estate to the Khosla family. This was inevitable following the NFL's approval in late August of the record $9.6 billion dollar sale Vinod Khosla put forth.
Now, Vinod and his family are in charge of the Seahawks. Vinod himself carries the ****** le of Chair of the Seahawks. His wife Neeru Khosla is now designated as the Controlling Owner of the Seahawks, and President of their Charitable Foundation. Their son, Neal Khosla, is the Vice Chair of the Seahawks.
But we at Seahawks Wire would be remiss if we did not acknowledge the legacy of Paul and Jody Allen, and what they gave to both the Seahawks franchise and the Pacific Northwest. Under their leadership, they helped transform the Seahawks into a national, championship caliber brand. Paul saved the city from being relocated to the Los Angeles area under the previous ownership of Ken Behring. Part of his purchase agreement included the Washington state legislature to hold a statewide referendum on funding a new stadium, which passed, paving the way for the iconic Lumen Field.
Paul Allen transformed a middling NFL franchise into one of the NFL's more recognizable teams. Seattle went from having only one division ****** le and four playoff appearances to nine division ****** les, three conference championships and the franchise's first Lombardi. As we at Seahawks Wire wrote in an article regarding the sale of the team back in late January of this year:
"His (Paul Allen's) death in 2018 shook the city and the 12's, as he represented the best kind of owner any fan would want for their team."

"His (Paul Allen's) death in 2018 shook the city and the 12's, as he represented the best kind of owner any fan would want for their team."

Aryna Sabalenka takes her sport very seriously.
After defeating Polina Iatcenko in the second round of the US Open in New York City on Wednesday, September 2, the Belarusian tennis star, 28, was asked by a reporter about her "mood now that the tournament has started," in a press conference posted on YouTube.
"Obviously, last week it's lots of parties and fun and stuff like that," the reporter noted.
Sabalenka shook her head and interrupted, "You guys are, like, a joke. Parties, fun… like, why would you even say that? Why would you even think about that? Like, what kind of question is that?"
"Just because I posted, like, some activities with brands, and you think that I've been partying, not training?" the two-time US Open champ continued.

Mel Gibson has issued an apology for his behavior during a public event amid mounting backlash. During his recent appearance at FanExpo Canada, Gibson mocked an ASL interpreter as he walked onto the stage for his retrospective Q&A. The video quickly went viral online. Users called out Gibson for his insensitive behaviour, for which Gibson has since issued an apology.
The moment, as caught on camera, saw Mel Gibson enter the spotlight on stage and begin making gibberish symbols with his hands, with the ASL interpreter standing right in front of him, with his back to her. The moment was brief, but fans found it to be in poor taste anyway.
Regarding the moment, Gibson said, "Sometimes when you get pushed out on a stage in a spotlight, your mind is all over the place, and sometimes spontaneous thoughtless idiocy is displayed. There was no intended maliciousness attached, and I certainly apologize to anyone who was upset by it."
FanExpo Canada is an annual event that is a hub for pop culture media enthusiasts. Be it films, shows, anime, gaming, or celebrities, the Expo serves as the biggest event of its kind in Canada, and the third biggest in the continent of North America. The event draws celebs and fans alike, allowing the latter to attend signings and photo opportunities.
The organizers of the event have not issued a statement regarding Mel Gibson's actions. However, fans were quick to contrast his behaviour with that of Reacher star Alan Ritchson, who shook hands with the ASL interpreter once his QnA session concluded. Other celebrities that graced the event included nerd culture legends like Mark Hamill, wrestler-turned-actor John Cena, and Mr. T.

NEW YORK — Andy Green joked he was willing to force his own exit to ensure that Juan Soto stayed in the batter's box for the biggest at-bat of Sunday's game.
In the bottom of the fifth inning of a tie game with a runner in scoring position, Soto fouled a 2-2 fastball off his right shin. The superstar outfielder, who was playing his first game since landing on the injured list on July 25 with a left calf strain, jammed the handle of his bat into the grass, crouched near the on-deck circle and shook off the sting.
"I was certainly hoping we weren't taking him out of the game," Green said. "I was gonna give him all the time in the world he needed. I would've gotten ejected just to give him more time. The umpire was saying to speed things up."
On the very next pitch, Soto caught a hanging knuckle-curve from Cristian Javier and deposited it into right field for the go-ahead RBI single in the Mets' 6-2 victory over the Astros in front of 29,183 fans at Citi Field.
The interruption provided a brief scare for Soto, who has twice been on the injured list this season, but he proved his worth once again by flashing his dynamic bat in a key spot in his first game back.

Albert Suárez returned to Norfolk with a fresh minor league deal. Big Al tossed 2.1 innings of bulk relief. He allowed an unearned run and struck out three.
Norfolk trailed 3-2 before scoring in the seventh, eighth, and ninth innings. Enrique Bradfield Jr. tied the game with a single in the seventh, José Barrero gave the Tides the lead with a solo homer in the eighth, and Jeremiah Jackson drove in a crucial insurance run with a base hit in the ninth. Bradfield Jr. finished 3-for-4 from the leadoff spot, and Jackson went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBIs.
Heston Kjerstad doubled and took a walk. Aaron Noda walked twice and launched a solo home run in the top of the second. Creed Willems ended the day 0-for-5 with three strikeouts.

BYU shook up its athletic department on Thursday, splitting football off from the other 20 sports.
Head football coach Kalani Sitake will report directly to a university vice president while athletic director Brian Santiago will oversee the remaining programs.
The decision's dramatic timing, nine days before the season's first football game, underscored both the hurtling rate of change in college sports and rumors about friction between Sitake and Santiago.
"BYU Athletics shares a common focus on helping our student-athletes succeed not just on the field, but also in the classroom and, most importantly, in their Christian discipleship," advancement vice president Keith Vorkink said in a statement.
BYU head football coach Kalani Sitake speaks as he's joined by BYU athletic director Brian Santiago during a press conference regarding Sitake's contract extension with the football program, held at the Student Athlete Building on the campus of Brigham Young University in Provo on Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025. | Isaac Hale, Deseret News

HUGO – McAlester softball snapped its losing streak with a big 17-0 run rule win over Hugo Tuesday.
During their streak, the Lady Buffaloes (4-5) dropped games to strong teams like Byng, Tahlequah, Shawnee and Durant. But they shook off the rust Tuesday in the win over Hugo.

Sam Shafer struck out four and walked none during her four innings in the circle.
The win could prove to be a launching pad for the McAlester festival.

In the past couple of months of the NBA offseason, we have seen teams fall out of championship contention, and others rise into the conversation. In an offseason highlighted by multiple blockbuster deals and a superteam formed in Philadelphia, the majority of the big moves had already been made. Yet, there were still a few All-Stars to be claimed.
For the most part, NBA fans had an idea of who the contenders were going to be this season. That was until Klay Thompson and DeMar DeRozan each found new homes for the upcoming 2026-27 NBA season.

The Heat made news that shook the NBA world earlier this offseason, trading draft capital and young talent for two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. This immediately put the Heat into contention, yet they had no significant talent outside of their frontcourt duo of Giannis and Bam Adebayo.

Former world snooker champion Graeme Dott has been found guilty of child ***** ual abuse.
The 49-year-old denied two charges of lewd and libidinous behaviour towards a girl and a boy between 1993 and 2010.
During a trial, the High Court in Glasgow heard that Dott had exposed himself and inappropriately touched a primary school girl in the 1990s and attacked a young boy between 2006 and 2010.
Lord Harrower told Dott, who won the World Snooker Championship in 2006, he would be sentenced at a separate hearing in Edinburgh on 29 September.
Dott covered his face with his hands and shook his head while the verdict was delivered by jurors following a five-day trial.

MISHAWAKA — It would be hard to say with certain whose post-match smile was the biggest Thursday, Aug. 20 between NorthWood volleyball coach Hilary Laidig and her star player Ella Branham.
Both of their faces lit up the Marian High School gym with beaming pride following a key early-season victory.
Laidig watched as her gritty Panthers shook off a slow start to down the host Knights 3-1 in a matchup of area powers and Class 3A heavyweights.
Senior Branham powered down 21 kills to go with 15 digs as NorthWood prevailed 20-25, 27-25, 25-14, 26-24 in steamy conditions on Demetrius Jackson Court.

It seemed set in stone that the future of Toulouse FC's Dayann Methalie (20) belonged in the Premier League. Having been keen to secure the services of the young left-back for several weeks, AFC Sunderland had managed to reach an agreement with their French counterparts regarding the transfer of their rising star. Everything looked set… until the customary medical examination shook things up.
In fact, it was during this procedure that an abnormality in Methalie's back was reportedly identified, forcing the Black Cats to consider only two options: to proceed with the risk of aggravating the injury, or to put the player on a treatment programme that would keep him out of action for six weeks.
However, according to reports in L'Équipe, this ******* sment has not been shared by Téfécé's medical staff, who regard the Frenchman's problem as minor and of no consequence to his availability. Such conflicting opinions have prompted Sunderland's management to consult a Paris-based back specialist, who in turn confirmed that there was nothing of concern to report.
Not entirely reassured, the English club requested further medical opinions and, as a result, reportedly decided to put their initial offer on hold. This did not, however, prevent the Black Cats' management from proposing to Toulouse that they amend the terms of their agreement, ultimately offering a loan with an option to buy.
An alternative immediately dismissed out of hand by Les Violets' chairman, Olivier Cloarec, concerned about potential financial demands from the player's entourage, which would have further complicated the matter. A version of events denied by Sunderland.

While it wasn't a storybook ending, it was still an "incredible summer" for the Tupelo 49ers.
For just the third time ever, Tupelo reached the American Legion World Series. They rolled into Shelby, North Carolina, on a hot streak and kept it going in pool play with a 3-0 mark. This had all the signs of a team that could win it all after coming up short in 2011 and 2021.
That dream ended Monday, when Portland (Ore.) beat the 49ers 3-1 in the semifinals. It was just Tupelo's second loss in its last 22 games.
"it was an incredible summer," fourth-year head coach Russell Bunch said. "These guys have really grown together, and it's been a real good experience for everybody. I'm just really proud for them. I hate it shook out like it did and we weren't able to win the whole thing."
There were a lot of memorable moments along the way, though. After winning the state tournament, the Niners left town Aug. 5 and stayed gone for nearly two weeks. They rolled through the Mid-South Regional, putting on one offensive show after another and batting .398 over five games. Regional MVP Jonas Coleman batted .667 with six RBIs over that span.

There is a reason why the Royal Rumble is still a big draw in the WWE, and it's not just about who is left standing at the end. The start of the match sees some of the lesser known and sometimes flat out mediocre wrestlers bouncing off of each other and all fighting in the midst of pure chaos. It's beautiful in its own way.
Speaking of which, the AFC and NFC South will crown a champion this season in the NFL.
It's not to say that the winner from either division can't go on to a deep playoff run and possibly even a Super Bowl. But there is almost certainly going to be a brawl to even reach the postseason with basically every team arguing a legitimate point on why they can be division champs.
The AFC South feels like it is entirely composed of teams that both need to put up or shut up and would scare just about any other team in the postseason. The Jacksonville Jaguars are coming off of a resurgent season and appear comfortable with both their head coach and quarterback. The Houston Texans are clearly all in on the season and will need to return to their 2024 level of play. The Indianapolis Colts hope a fully healthy season can keep their talent at a higher level and get back to the postseason. While the Tennessee ******* ans hope to surprise the world with a big step forward.
The NFC South has been the punchline of the NFL for a few years now, but with a division full of young teams it could be the year one of the teams break's out as a real contender. The Carolina Panthers shook things up last year by winning the division and hope their young quarterback can continue to progress. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers believe they have the pieces but this might be the final year of their window. The Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints are both building back their roster full of young players in a division that they could take.
