Notre Dame is now 6-1 and ranked No. 4 in the AP Top 25 after a weird, wild, and controversial loss to the BYU Cougars. Yes, I think the Irish got hosed out of one final play, but none of that matters now. We saw 59 minutes and 59 seconds of football, and there are some things we learned.
Last week Boomer called Boubacar Traore a renaissance man, and he was absolutely right. This week… we got five plays out of Traore before he was ejected for targeting Bear Bachmeier on a late hit. Despite Notre Dame's depth at the position, the loss of Traore was massive for the Irish in the game —particularly in the first half when the defense was on its heels and needed better play up front to slow down what BYU was doing. The loss of Traore might very well be the essence of the full reason for Notre Dame's loss.
This second thing was supposed to be about Jonaz Walton and I went looking for snap counts. While the entire deal about Walton is valid and should be talked about after only getting 10 of the 81 snaps after rushing for 181 yards last week… the wide receiver situation might be the most heinous thing about the offense. On a night where Notre Dame's receivers couldn't get much separation from Cougar defenders, maybe they were gassed? The elevation was well over 5000 feet and Notre Dame only used 4 wide receivers all night. Jordan Faison, Micah Gilbert, and Jaden Greathouse were out there for almost every snap, and the fourth… well that was Mylan Graham with a whopping two snaps for the night.
For a good part of the first half, Notre Dame's defense didn't just play poorly — they looked confused. Presnap lineups and adjustments had several defenders running to the spot they were supposed to be, and BYU was snapping the ball before they got there. It looked very much like the Miami game last year, and some of that confusion led to slow and soft play. This, of course, is a Chris Ash problem and they made the proper adjustments at halftime to hold BYU to just 126 yards and 7 points in the final 29 minutes and 59 seconds of play. But… this is still a thing and will kill the Irish in a few weeks against Miami if it's not fixed for a full 59 minutes and 59 seconds — or do we play 60 minute games now?

Former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly unleashed a tirade at Olivia Rodrigo on Monday (October 5), telling the pop star to "shut up and stick to singing" after she spoke out about the Cornell 7 case.
"Olivia, in sum, you don't know what the f*** you're talking about. Shut up and stick to singing," Kelly said on her SiriusXM show, per Variety. "I liked you better when you were in front of a microphone singing your weird little depressing songs."
On Sunday (October 4), Rodrigo shared a post on her Instagram Story supporting the Jane Doe at the center of the Cornell 7 lawsuit. "Shame on Cornell and on every institution who protects rapists and abusers over women," the "drivers license" singer wrote. "I stand with Jane Doe. Her bravery reverberates across the country and the crimes against her will not go unpunished."
She added, "What she lived through matters, and so does the failure of those who could have intervened but chose not to. She deserves answers, consequences, and lasting change."
Rodrigo was talking about the lawsuit filed against Cornell University by an unnamed student, who accused seven men of raping and drugging her at a frat house party in October 2024. Her lawsuit claims that the university failed to protect her and instead protected the perpetrators.

OK, if you were on the Internet at all this weekend, you probably heard about Taylor Swift's surprise appearance during her pal Dakota Johnson's SNL episode. The news went around, partially because Taylor showing up anywhere will garner headlines, but also because Johnson's third appearance on the sketch comedy series hit a separate weird milestone: midway through it, she turned 37.
SNL has shouted out cast member birthdays before, but this was a much rarer situation since it literally happened during the episode. As part of the festivities, at the end of the night, Taylor Swift came out and busted out a freaking beautiful birthday cake. I at first thought this might be a Swift birthday original, and while it proved to be store bought, it was absolutely a carefully thought out gesture. Here's the moment:
Apparently, this was a Taylor Swift gesture, and one the cake baker who made the Tiffany's box-colored cake had no idea what would happen on Saturday Night Live. One other detail I didn't know but is pretty cool though? Apparently she was mimicking Swift's own handwriting when she wrote the birthday message on the cake. Here's an up-close-and-personal look at the cake.

Jon Heder recalls the restrictive dance belt he wore beneath his skintight Blades of Glory costumes
He helped design his character's peacock outfit, inspired by figure skater Johnny Weir's memorable swan routine
The Napoleon Dynamite star says he feels grateful that fans still embrace his beloved comedic roles
Jon Heder has very distinct — and restrictive — memories from his 2007 movie Blades of Glory.
In the film, Heder plays figure skater Jimmy MacElroy opposite Will Ferrell's Chazz Michael Michaels. His character wears a bevy of skintight, colorful figure skating costumes that would have looked right at home on retired figure skater Johnny Weir (on whom Heder's character was loosely based).

Amanda Peet noticed something unusual months before learning she had breast cancer.
During an interview on Today on Thursday, October 1, Peet, 54, described the change she first felt about six months before her diagnosis.
"I was in my closet, I was probably putting something on and I felt a weird — it just didn't feel like normal skin, but it wasn't the frozen pea that everybody talks about," The Whole Nine Yards star said during her conversation with the show's coanchor Savannah Guthrie.
That unfamiliar feeling prompted Peet to seek medical attention. At the time, she believed the results meant everything was fine.
"I went and I even got an MRI and then they sent me away," she said. "So I thought I had a clean bill of health, but they were actually watching it."

There are plenty of tried-and-true strategies one can follow to build wealth, like staying debt-free and investing early for retirement. But sometimes it's worth it to go off the beaten path and try quirky money habits.
Are these habits kind of unusual? Yes. Will everyone else practice them? Probably not. Do they work? Also, yes.
An episode of Smart Money Happy Hour hosted by financial experts Rachel Cruze and George Kamel took a closer look at the most unusual money habits worth trying out to get ahead financially.
Here are 10 weird habits that can help you become rich.
This approach is not likely to be popular with most people, but Kamel said working more hours every week is something you can control especially if you're trying to get out of debt.

A small, spotted tiger cat from Bolivia may just be
the beginning of a wave of new small cat species.
In 2016, Paola Nogales-Ascarrunz, a biologist and National Geographic Explorer working in Bolivia, received a call from a local wildlife sanctuary that had just been given what they described as “a weird cat.” It came from a local man who found it as a kitten on a road near a forest. The man took the animal home, believing it to be a domestic breed. But after about a year of living with the clearly wild animal, he realized it would be better off at a sanctuary.
As the lead scientist and founder of the Bolivian Felids Research Program (Programa de Investigación de Félidos Bolivia), Nogales-Ascarrunz was intrigued. The animal had a small, scrunched-up face, short and round ears, and long whiskers. It was, indeed, too small to be a housecat, and, most notably, it was covered in leopard-like spots. So she went to visit the creature at the Senda Verde wildlife sanctuary on the subtropical flank of the Bolivian Andes.
“I took a hundred pictures of it,” remembers Nogales-Ascarrunz. “I was so fascinated.”
What she couldn’t know at the time was that this curious cat had a secret. It would become the first new species of felid (i.e. the cat family) discovered in over 100 years, according to a study published today in the journal Current Biology. What’s exciting is the discovery is not a validation of a species proposed in the distant past, nor a previously recognized subspecies raised to species status—which are both more commonly reported and important findings. No, this cat was something totally new to science.

As you may have heard, Pete Alonso returned with his new team to Citi Field tonight, and the Mets lost to the Orioles 2-1. Although Jonah Tong pitched admirably, the Mets could not capitalize on their six hits and left nine runners on base.
After Jonah Tong struck out Dylan Beavers to lead off the first inning, Alonso stepped up to thunderous applause, cheers, and chants of his name. He flied out to Carson Benge in right field, but that did not dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd. Tong then retired Gunnar Henderson as well for a 1-2-3 start to his day. In the bottom of the inning, Francisco Lindor walked to lead off, but Juan Soto popped out, and Bo Bichette grounded into a double play for the second and third outs to end the inning.
At the top of the second inning, Jackson Holliday looped a one-out single into right field. He reached second on a passed ball by Francisco Alvarez, which had popped out of Alvarez's glove. It proved costly when Heston Kjerstad drilled a double into right field past Brett Baty. The ball made a weird hop past Baty, and Holliday scored the first run of the game. When the Mets came to bat in the second, they loaded the bases with two outs. Marcus Semien drilled a single down the left-field line, and then A.J. Ewing and Baty walked. Unfortunately, they were all stranded when Alvarez struck out on a foul tip for the third out, and the second inning ended with the score Orioles 1, Mets 0.
Alonso drew a two-out walk in the third inning, but was stranded there when Tong struck out Henderson. At the bottom of the third, Juan Soto smacked a one-out single into right field. Benge sneaked a single past third base, but both runners were again stranded when Jared Young grounded out for the third out. At the top of the fourth inning, Holliday hit a ground ball straight to Semien, but Semien could not get it out of his glove in a timely manner, and Holliday made it to first base safely. He was stranded as well, though. At the bottom of the inning, Ewing drilled a home run into right field. Alvarez smacked a ground ball to third base that Coby Mayo initially fielded but bobbled, allowing Alvarez to reach base safely on an infield hit. However, he was also stranded when Lindor struck out, leaving the score Mets 1, Orioles 1, at the end of the fourth inning.
To lead off the fifth inning, Colton Cowser hit a single that Semien knocked down but couldn't get to first base in time. The next three batters went down in order. Soto walked to lead off the bottom of the fifth and, with two outs, stole second base. Young also drew a walk, but Semien grounded out to end the rally attempt there. Tong came back out for the top of the sixth inning and only needed six pitches to retire the three batters he saw. Josh Walker replaced Brandon Young for the Orioles at the bottom of the sixth, and he also worked a 1-2-3 inning. The score remained 1-1.

A grandmother has described being "shell shocked" at becoming one of the joint winners of the official Black Pudding Throwing World Championships.
June Weir, 73, from Wilpshire, Lancashire, said she was delighted to become the first female to win the annual event at The Oak pub in Ramsbottom, Bury, on Sunday.
Hundreds of people cheered on the throwers as they hurled black puddings at Yorkshire puddings in the quirky sporting event, which first began more than a century ago and raises money for charity.
Weir, who was one of four competitors who toppled six Yorkshire puddings from a ledge, said: "This was my third time, no training whatsoever... and I actually won it. I can't believe it."

SAN MARCOS - Texas State football coach GJ Kinne said Saturday's 31-26 loss to UTSA was one of the weirdest games he's ever experienced.
The Bobcats (0-2) outgained the Roadrunners (2-0) offense by 83 yards. The Texas State running backs averaged 7.15 yards per carry on 35 attempts. UTSA was 3-of-15 on third down; Texas State was 9-of-17. UTSA quarterback Owen McCown faced pressure from Texas State's defensive line all afternoon.
MORE: Texas State recap from loss to UTSA
And yet, the Bobcats were the team desperately tossing laterals across the field when the clock hit zero, hoping for a miracle play. UTSA stormed the field afterward, whooping and hollering in celebration. For the first time in the rivalry, Texas State was the program defending its status. UTSA clearly had a chip on its shoulder that its San Marcos neighbours used to have. After the game, Kinne treated the loss like any other.
"We can't let this one define us," Kinne said. "It's not the end-all, be-all."

It's the middle of September and Pat Kelsey and company are still active in the transfer portal.
LJ Wells, a 6'8 power forward who played the last four seasons at Northern Kentucky, has committed to play for Louisville in 2026-27. Wells is the namesake plaintiff in the ongoing Wells vs. NCAA case in Jefferson County Circuit Court that earned a fifth-year of eligibility for players like Wells, D'Angelo Hutchinson, Jabari Mack, and Missouri hooper Mark Mitchell.
Wells started all 33 games for the Norse last season, posting career-best averages of 15.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. He also earned All-Horizon Tournament Team honors after averaging 22.3 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.7 ***** ists while helping NKU to the Horizon League semis, where they fell to eventual champion Wright State.
It feels weird to be adding players like this, especially when you can't be 100 percent sure if they're even going to be able to play this winter, but this is a nice depth add at a position where U of L could definitely use some additional depth.
Welcome aboard, LJ.

LeBron James has faced criticism throughout his basketball career. On Friday, former NBA lottery pick Olden Polynice took aim at LBJ for falling short of a certain statistical feat.
Appearing on SiriusXM NBA Radio, Polynice (who was drafted eighth overall by the Chicago Bulls in 1987) gave James his props but proceeded to chastise the 22-time NBA All-Star.
"I love LeBron. I really do. I think he's one of the greatest ever… But, at the same time, I can still be critical of him on some things. One in particular: I thought LeBron should have averaged a triple-double way before Russell Westbrook. That's my personal opinion."
Polynice, who transitioned to coaching after playing 15 seasons in the NBA, went on to make an explosive claim about LBJ's career.
"Believe it or not, this is going to be the weirdest thing ever uttered. I believe LeBron James underachieved."

Milwaukee Bucks star Kyle Kuzma has expressed his discomfort over Colin Cowherd's question aimed at Sophie Cunningham.
In a matter of a few months, Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham's popularity has skyrocketed among basketball fans.
However, it has more to do with her off-court comments than her performance in the WNBA. In fact, veteran ****** yst Colin Cowherd took it a step further when he recently slammed a weird label on Cunningham.

Cowherd invited Cunningham as a guest on his podcast, where they discussed a plethora of things. However, one clip from the interview went viral.

Carter Jensen hit a pair of doubles, drove in a run, and scored a pair to lead the Royals to their second straight victory and first win against Boston since August 6 of last year. The final score was 3-2 in favor of Kansas City.
It was kind of a weird start for Seth Lugo. I attempted to do a reverse jinx on him with the game preview, and he ultimately allowed only two runs in five innings. That's good enough for now. However, looking toward the future, allowing 7 hits and 2 walks, even while striking out 7, in 5 innings is not a recipe for sustained success.
He only threw seven of his pitches tonight and, perhaps most notably, eschewed the slow curve entirely. The curveball and four-seamer were both much more effective than they have been of late. Perhaps this is a sign he's on the rebound.
For a while it seemed like the jinx on Sonny Gray might work, too. Gray came into the game with a 1.74 ERA against the Royals, the best among any pitchers with at least 10 starts against the team. Jensen's first double led off the game. He advanced to third on a groundout from Bobby Witt Jr. and scored on a Salvador Perez single when Gray inexplicably threw Salvy a sinker in instead of the usual breaking stuff away.
In the third inning, it seemed like the Royals might just go ahead and knock out Gray then and there. Isaac Collins led off with an automatic double at 103.2 MPH down the right field line that hopped over the short fence near the pole. Carter followed up by smashing one at 102.6 off the monster in left to trade places with Collins. Bobby flew out to center at 103.3 to advance Carter to third and Vinnie Pasquantino hit one at 102.4 to give the Royals their final run. Sadly, Salvy grounded into a double play to end the inning and that was the last time KC would score.

Favorite: Pittsburgh -5.5
Game Total: 41.5
Implied Point Total: Pittsburgh 23.5, Atlanta 18
RB Bijan Robinson
As the consensus 1.02 in fantasy drafts, Robinson rushed for almost 1,500 yards and added 820 yards through the air on 79 receptions last season with 11 total touchdowns. Clearly, he's the focal point of the Falcons' offense along with Drake London. Entering his age-24 season in 2026, Robinson is clearly in his prime production window. In his three seasons, Robinson hasn't missed a single game — yes, we're counting the one game where Arthur Smith weirdly played him during "migraine-gate" in 2023.

These are weird times for the 'Notorious' Conor McGregor.
The Irish sports star came into his bout with Max Holloway at UFC 329 in July with muted fanfare, as UFC tried its best not to give oxygen to McGregor's decade of past controversies. They did this despite their former champ-champ being found liable for rape in an Irish civil court in 2024.
Despite best efforts to present McGregor as his best self, the 38 year-old came into the Octagon looking old and tired. He blew his knee out on his first foray forward and was forced to fold in the middle of the cage, before a thoroughly bemused Holloway. The ACL injury he suffered that night required surgery and will mean another long wait before McGregor gets back in the fighting arena.
The Holloway fight was the penultimate bout on McGregor's UFC contract. Whether he gets another fight, and a chance at liberation, is up in the air.
Eddie Alvarez is one man who knows exactly how tough these kinds of situations can be. 'The Underground King' was subject of legal action from Bellator when he jumped ship to join UFC in 2014. All the stress of that departure was worth it in the end, though, with Alvarez winning the UFC Lightweight **** le two years later.

On September 13, 2001, Lillian Garcia stood in the center of a WWE ring — alone — with tens of thousands of eyeballs on her at the Compaq Center in Houston, Texas. Normally the WWE's ring announcer, Garcia had been tasked with a nominal-turned-monumental duty — singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" — two days after the most significant terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
More than 1,600 miles away, in the shadows of the ever-altered New York City skyline, 10-year-old Thea Trinidad watched — as she always did — after experiencing an upheaval most do at some point in their life, but few as suddenly as her.
"That one's specifically always stuck out to me," Trinidad, a former WWE champion who performed under the alias Zelina Vega, tells Uncrowned. "I remember that one specifically, I saw all of the wrestlers get really emotional and seeing Lillian, still I always tell her: 'Yours is still my favorite to hear.'
"It just felt like, in that moment, the thing that I loved most was kind of shining a light on my dad. In a way, it kind of felt like it was just for 9/11, and it felt like it was just for those people. And I think in a weird way, it was important for us to feel that, because everyone else just felt like you were a thing, like a spectacle. You were someone to look at. You almost felt like you were the circus animal, and you were like, 'Oh, look, they dealt with that,' or, 'Oh, look, her dad died.' It just felt like wrestling was the thing that I've always felt seen in."

Megyn Kelly wants to see Erika Kirk step away from her role running Turning Point USA — because she wants the grieving mother of two to find time to heal.
Kelly shared her concern with Piers Morgan on the latter's Piers Morgan Uncensored, as the two discussed the one year anniversary of Charlie Kirk's ***** assination at a speaking event at Utah Valley University.
Morgan brought up a recent essay on grief Erika Kirk, 37, wrote last week for The New York Times:
PIERS MORGAN: And the reason I found it so powerful was it reminded us that there is a human being here, a wife and a mother who lost her husband, who she was obviously very in love with, the loving father of her kids and I think people have just treated her like some weird commodity for the last year.
Where they can say whatever they want about her. They can make any allegations about her. They can treat her as inhumanely as they like. And I'm just at a loss as to understand why? Why we have collectively, it seems, lost our humanity about this woman.

Sam Ponder is sharing the reason why she decided to homeschool her three children.
The former ESPN host, who shares Bowden, 12, Robinson, 9, and Price, 8, with her husband, former NFL quarterback Christian Ponder, took to X, where she blamed the New York City public school system for her decision to pull her children out of traditional classrooms.
"Meeting so many more families like ours in the city recently who, like us, never thought they'd homeschool," Ponder wrote Wednesday, September 9, over a New York Post report citing that homeschooling in New York City has gone up by 200 percent.
She continued, "I went to a huge inner city public school as a kid and thought homeschooling was weird. Then the local public school option became… weirder. I see it as a huge privilege to be able to homeschool but I wish it didn't feel so necessary."
The former Sunday NFL Countdown host worked for ESPN alongside former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III, but was ultimately let go in 2024 in the final year of a three-year, $3 million contract, with the network citing budget cuts at the time, according to a 2024 report from The New York Times.

College football is weirder than ever. It's always been the weirdest sport in the country, and it's why there are so many crazies out there that worship the game. Now with the transfer portal, it really does make these early season games tougher to predict.
Notre Dame was a 20.5 point favorite going into the game against Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, and as the first half unravelled, fans and media alike were wondering what was happening with the Irish. Notre Dame held a 13-10 lead going into halftime and they were getting the ball first in the second half — but the struggle was so real in the first 30 minutes that it was hard to imagine this game turning into the blowout it became.
So yeah — it took a half for the Irish to find out what team they could be in week one. There have been bigger crimes in the sport over the years than a slow-bulldozer. This wasn't the coming out party for CJ Carr and the Heisman, and that needs to be okay.
On some of the most hallowed grounds in sports, Notre Dame lost the narrative for 2026, but regained the plot. They struggled, and slipped, and fell down — and then rose back up by just being who they are as a team.
Marcus Freeman said he didn't go into too much detail about 2nd half changes for the team, and Adon Shuler provided an answer with even more brevity. This game didn't go the way they thought it would, so they had to change that for themselves.

The WNBA season is coming to a screeching halt for two weeks because of the Fiba Women's World Cup, which runs from 4-13 September in Berlin. Yes, it's weird timing this close to the playoffs, but also yes, the World Cup is really important.
Maybe you're reading this thinking about how the Atlanta Dream have won five of their last six games and need to keep riding the momentum, but I personally will never say no to more women's basketball. You get to watch your favorite W players compete on the world stage, you get to watch Olympic-level competition in a non-Olympic year, and you get a reminder that Dominique Malonga could dunk in a World Cup game while repping France. All of the tournament's games will stream live on HBO Max, with select games airing on TNT and TruTV. Consider this your all-in primer to get you hyped to keep watching hoops during this WNBA hiatus.
The Fiba Women's Basketball World Cup is held every four years and features the world's best national teams competing for a gold medal. The US have earned gold at four straight World Cups and have won 11 ***** les overall.
The winner of the World Cup will automatically qualify for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. There are other pre-qualifying tournaments (EuroBasket, Asia Cup, AmeriCup, and AfroBasket) next year, and then the final spots will be secured at the Fiba Olympic qualifying tournament in February 2028.
As hosts, the US automatically qualified for the Olympics, so if they win the World Cup, another qualifying spot will be added at the February 2028 tournament.

Kai Trump is starting a brand new phase in her life. The granddaughter of Donald Trump is beginning her college career at the University of Miami, where she'll be playing for the school's golf team while pursuing her education. In a new vlog on her YouTube channel, Kai shared a look at her first week as a freshman, documenting some of her classes and new routines. First, though, she had to say an emotional goodbye to her friends and family.

The clip shows Kai's last moments at home, in Jupiter, Florida, before her full-time move to Miami, where she'll be living for the next four years. "It's just really sad that I have to say goodbye to everyone today," she said, her eyes filling with tears.
"I'm not a very emotional person at all, so this is like really weird for me to cry; I've only cried a few times. I think knowing that I have to say goodbye to everyone tonight really, really sucks."

It's no secret the Internet is obsessed with Zosia Mamet, but the actress is ready to share her own obsessions in her new Lemonada Media podcast, "OMG Obsessed."
The podcast network unveiled its fall slate exclusively to TheWrap on Wednesday, teasing the "Girls" actress' upcoming conversations with guests as they "unpack the passions, fixations and rabbit holes they can't stop thinking about" ahead of a Sept. 16 premiere.
"I'm an extremely curious (and admittedly obsessive) person, so this show feels like a dream," Mamet said in a statement. "Everyone has that one thing they could talk about forever, and I've always found those conversations to be the most fun. They're revealing, they're weird and they're usually way more interesting than small talk. I hope people laugh, discover something unexpected and maybe leave with a few new obsessions of their own."
"The content landscape is so saturated these days, but at Lemonada we still believe that if you make great shows with extraordinary talent, audiences will find them," Lemonada Media CEO Stephanie Wittels Wachs echoed. "We're focused on creating content that people are genuinely 'OMG Obsessed' with – investing in singular voices native to the creator economy, building every show for a video-first ecosystem and giving creators the room to surprise audiences with something fresh."
The podcast company will also soon be premiering "So U Think U Can Sports?" with Eliot Glazer (Oct. 6), "Criminally Online" with "Survivor" all-star/public defender Eliza Orlins and law professor Thea Johnson (October), and Season 3 of "Squeezed" with Yvette Nicole Brown (Oct. 28), as well as an untitled entry from "Pen15" star Anna Konkle in January 2027.

We're almost there, Miami football fans. The Hurricanes take the field for the first time in the 2026 season this weekend, granted on a weird day for college football on the West Coast against ACC opponent Stanford.
That combination of words isn't as wild as last year's run through the College Football Playoff and all the way to the national championship game. Now Mario Cristobal is ready to secure the program's sixth ****** le with quarterback Darian Mensah and jack-of-all-trades receiver Malachi Toney as his big stars. The restructured defensive front built around run-stuffing defensive tackle Ahmad Moten and former Missouri edge rusher Damon Wilson has a lot to live up to.
They'll get their first test against Stanford, who opened last week with an exciting 37-27 win over Hawaii. Davis Warren, who missed last season after tearing his ACL with Michigan, threw for 310 yards and a touchdown in his debut with the Cardinal, while Micah Ford ran for three TDs and came just shy of 100 yards. This will be Miami's first game in California since East Coast fans woke up to find Cam Ward had led a thrilling 25-point second-half comeback in 2024 over Cal.
