Chants of "Barry! Barry!" resounded throughout Bridgestone Arena prior to the Nashville Predators game against the Washington Capitals.
The former coach of both teams, Barry Trotz, became the newest member of the Predators' Golden Hall on Oct. 29, with the ceremony taking place at center ice before the game. Majority owner Bill Haslam, former general manager David Poile, and CEO Sean Henry joined Trotz for the presentation.
"I've been blessed to work with three wonderful organizations, and two of them are here tonight," Trotz said during his induction speech. "I'm honored and humbled to be inducted into the Golden Hall and standing beside Predators greats."
Trotz is the sixth member of the Golden Hall, which was established in 2023 to honor the franchise's elite players and important figures. He joins Poile, goaltender Pekka Rinne, defenseman Shea Weber and broadcasting duo Pete Weber and Terry Crisp.
Trotz concluded his speech by thanking the fans in attendance: "Thank you for making Smashville my home. Thank you, I love you, and God bless."

Nashville SC is the first MLS club to clinch a spot in the 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup. The team has guaranteed a finish no worse than third in the league's overall standings, with matches still remaining on the 2026 schedule.
The math is simple: Nashville's position is now unreachable by any chasing club, even in a worst-case run to close out the season. That removes any dependency on other results and hands the front office an international fixture to plan around a year in advance.
Qualification doesn't end the ambition. Third place is the floor, not the ceiling, and Nashville still has reason to push for a higher finish before the playoffs begin. A stronger regular-season position carries weight heading into the postseason, where seeding and momentum matter.
The early clinch also gives the roster-building process a head start. Playing continental and domestic competitions at once demands depth — injuries, suspensions and fatigue all hit harder across a packed calendar — so locking in the Champions Cup spot now lets the front office plan accordingly instead of waiting on the regular season's final weeks.
The Concacaf Champions Cup is the region's top club competition, pitting MLS sides against teams from Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. For Nashville, it's a chance to test the squad against different styles and raise its profile beyond the domestic league — part of a broader push by MLS clubs to build credibility on the continental stage.

The Milwaukee Brewers' magic number is down to two. That means two Milwaukee wins + Chicago Cubs losses and the Brewers will officially clinch the National League Central division ****** le. The team has already clinched a playoff spot and postseason tickets are available now.
This is the second consecutive year that Brewers fans have enjoyed such impressive play from Milwaukee. In 2025, the Brewers finished with a 97-65 record, the best in baseball. The team currently has 93 wins with 12 games to go, and a real shot at hitting 100 wins for the first time in franchise history.
SHOP: Milwaukee Brewers 2026 MLB postseason tickets
The Brewers defeated the Chicago Cubs in the NLDS in 2025, before losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS. If there's a rematch, there's a grudge and I know I'm not alone in hoping for a different outcome this time around.
Below, we'll breakdown everything you need to know about the Milwaukee Brewers postseason scenarios—including how to buy Brewers playoff tickets:

The North Carolina Tar Heels completed their home opener by doing exactly what they needed to do: they easily beat an inferior opponent to improve their record to 2-0. Credit to ETSU for bring a lot of energy to the game, but ultimately they were outmatched from start to finish.
The first quarter opened up with the Tar Heels going three and out thanks to two dropped passes thrown by Billy Edwards, Jr. The Heels were quickly able to make up for it by grabbing an interception thrown by ETSU quarterback, Mason Mims, which led to UNC immediately marching down the field for a touchdown. Jelani Thurman was a bit part of the drive's success, and ultimately caught a 24-yard pass to get into the end zone.
On the Buccaneers' next drive, they were able to chip away at UNC's defense to get to mid-field, but ultimately they weren't able to do enough to finish the drive. They punted and managed to back UNC up to their own end zone, but the quarter finished with UNC moving the ball into safer territory. When the second quarter opened, the Heels proceeded to move the ball down the field, and Edwards was able to find Benjamin Hall for a 26-yard touchdown.
The Buccaneers continued to chip away at UNC's defense, but they continually shot themselves in the foot. A touchdown was negated by a holding call, there was a face mask call after that, and then when they were pushed all the way back to 3rd and 28, the Heels stood tall and were able to get the ball back. They were able to complete another touchdown drive to increase their lead to 21-0 before halftime.
The second half opened with ETSU immediately coughing up the football, which led to a touchdown scored by Demon June. The Buccaneers were without answers from there — despite continuing to gain yards, their inability to finish drives remained constant, and the Heels were able to go up 35-0 before a game delay due to lightning in the area.

The Dodgers on Friday called up phenom Josue De Paula, their top prospect, and placed Shohei Ohtani on the 15-day injured list. Those were the expected moves, and took care of the active-roster component. But to make room on the 40-man roster for De Paula, the Dodgers transferred left-hander Eric Lauer to the 60-day injured list.
Lauer had been on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation since September 2, one day after allowing seven runs in three innings in his worst start since joining the Dodgers. Moving him to the 60-day injured list means Lauer won't be eligible to pitch in the postseason. His 2026 campaign has concluded.
The 31-year-old left-hander was acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays on May 17 after Lauer was designated for **** ignment by Toronto, with the Jays paying all but $600,000 of his remaining $3.1 million salary the rest of the way. The Dodgers won each of Lauer's first nine appearances with the team, a stretch in which he did not allow more than three runs in any outing.
Lauer had two blow-up starts — six runs in four innings on August 5 at Wrigley Field, September 1 at home vs. Cardinals — but mostly did everything that was asked of him, lasting at least six innings in seven of his 13 outings, including 11 starts. In all, Lauer had a 4.50 ERA and 4.48 xERA in 72 innings with the Dodgers. Combining his numbers with the Blue Jays, Lauer on the season had a 5.23 ERA and 5.03 xERA in 22 games, including 18 starts, with 72 strikeouts and 35 walks in 108 1/3 innings, with 26 home runs allowed.
Ohtani was officially placed on the injured list with right biceps inflammation, which is what manager Dave Roberts mentioned Ohtani aggravated on a swing in Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds, the only one of an eight-game stretch in which Ohtani played.

The Tennessee **** ans made the first somewhat surprising pick of the 2026 NFL Draft when they selected former Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate with the number four overall pick. With his first NFL game on the horizon, CBS Sports' Ryan Wilson believes he was worth the fourth overall pick for the **** ans.
Tate was drafted with the expectation that he can become a foundational piece of the offense and a long-term number one target for second-year quarterback Cam Ward. That might be a lot to ask from a rookie, but everything about the situation suggests the **** ans had a plan.
The biggest question surrounding the **** ans' selection was whether Tate's talent will eventually justify taking him fourth overall. Including Tate, only five wide receivers (six if you include Travis Hunter) have been selected in the top five of the NFL Draft since 2015.
Excluding Jacksonville Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter, former **** ans WR Corey Davis had the worst rookie season of those top five selections with 375 yards and 0 touchdowns. So, it made sense why **** ans fans, specifically, may have had concerns about the Tate selection.
However, a strong training camp has many anticipating his NFL regular-season debut. Tate doesn't need to immediately become one of the best receivers in the NFL for the pick to be successful, but Tennessee needs to see enough flashes to believe they have found a long-term offensive cornerstone.

Player of the Matchday 25: Bruno Damiani
Philadelphia Union forward Bruno Damiani has earned MLS Player of the Matchday presented by Michelob ULTRA honors for Matchday 25.
Damiani helped power Philadelphia's 5-0 rout of FC Cincinnati at Subaru Park with his first career MLS hat trick. The 24-year-old now has six goals this season, one shy of his 2025 total.
Damiani's big night helped extend Philadelphia's unbeaten run to nine matches (7W-0L-2D), tied for the second-longest streak in club history. The victory also lifted the Union into eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings, keeping them above the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs line.

Barcelona have received the administrative clearance they have been waiting for, with summer signing Jesse Bisiwu now approved to play for the first team in LaLiga.
According to SPORT, the 18-year-old Belgian winger has completed the necessary registration process and can now be selected by Hansi Flick for a competitive fixture.
That means Bisiwu could be included in Barcelona's matchday squad as soon as next weekend if the manager decides the teenager is ready.
"Bisiwu has already received the necessary administrative approval to play in La Liga, so he could very well be included in the game-day roster next weekend if Flick sees fit," reports the aforementioned outlet.
The development removes one of the biggest obstacles that has prevented Bisiwu from making his official Barcelona debut since arriving at the club during the summer.

World number one Aryna Sabalenka led the way into the US Open quarter-finals, subduing American Taylor Townsend in straight sets on Sunday to keep her bid for a rare three-peat on track.
Sabalenka rallied from 3-1 down in the second set for a 6-4, 6-3 victory on Arthur Ashe Stadium, where men's defending champion Carlos Alcaraz took on 20th-seeded American Tommy Paul in search of a quarter-final berth.
Sabalenka needed all of her resolve against the multi-faceted Townsend, whose blistering service returns and net prowess flummoxed the Belarusian star.
The match opened with five breaks of serve before Sabalenka managed a comfortable hold for a 4-2 first-set lead.
But eventually Sabalenka's sustained power and precision proved a little too much.

"Maybe expect to fight for a Champions League place?"
Sergej Jakirovic could not resist a joke when asked about Hull City's remarkable start to life back in the Premier League on BBC Match of the Day.
"No, of course it is early," the head coach was quick to follow up.
Three games into a season is indeed too small a sample size to predict a club's fortunes.
But with seven points from a possible nine, three clean sheets and only two points behind early pacesetters Manchester City, the Hull supporters can be forgiven for dreaming a little.

U.S. striker Folarin Balogun has been left out of Monaco's squad for the Conference League amid uncertainty over his future after the collapse of his proposed transfer to Everton this week.
Balogun also will miss Monaco's match at Paris Saint-Germain in the French league on Friday after being omitted from the group traveling up to the capital.
Monaco said Balogun was back in group training. He hasn't featured in any of the team's four games so far this season.
The American striker was close to joining Everton for a reported 40 million pounds ($54 million) on Tuesday — the last day of the summer transfer window for most leagues in Europe — but opted to pull out of a deal because he felt uncomfortable that the English club raised doubts about his health in a medical examination, Monaco sporting director Thiago Scuro said.
Monaco is under pressure to sell Balogun, or another of its top players, because the club needs to generate money to comply with the French league's financial rules.

Argentinian dynamo Hector "La Arana" Almonacid has spent years building toward his ONE Championship debut, and it has finally arrived.
The 24-year-old makes his promotional bow against Brazilian standout Pedro "Guerreiro" Dantas in a featherweight MMA battle, which opens ONE Fight Night 47: Stamp vs. Flores on Prime Video, airing live in U.S. primetime from Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium this Friday, September 4.
Long before any of that, though, it all began much closer to home.
Almonacid was born and raised in Rio Gallegos, Argentina, and by his own account, life among his friends in the neighborhood was a good one growing up. He practiced taekwondo as a kid during that stretch, eventually working his way up to a red belt.
At 8 years old, his parents separated, and he was raised by his mother alongside his younger brother. It was not always an easy road from there, but the structure he had already found on the mats gave him something steady to return to.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers spent much of the offseason searching for more depth at cornerback, and they found it by bringing back a familiar face. Former Buccaneers cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting is returning to Tampa Bay on the practice squad, with an opportunity to work his way onto the 53-man roster. The reunion comes after the Arizona Cardinals released the 29-year-old, who missed the entire 2025 season while recovering from a torn ACL.
For Tampa Bay, the move is about more than simply adding another body to the secondary. Zyon McCollum and Jacob Parrish enter the season as the projected starters on the outside, while Benjamin Morrison, Ayden Garnes and rookie Keionte Scott round out a young cornerback room. The Buccaneers kept only five corners on their initial 53man roster, making experienced depth one of the obvious areas that still needed to be addressed. Murphy-Bunting has 65 career starts and already knows Todd Bowles' defense from his first four seasons in Tampa Bay. He was also at his best during the Buccaneers' 2020 Super Bowl run, recording an interception in each of Tampa Bay's first three playoff games. His versatility could be just as important. Murphy-Bunting has experience playing both outside and in the slot, giving Bowles another option if injuries hit or one of Tampa Bay's younger corners struggles.
Scott has an opportunity to establish himself in the slot, while Morrison and Garnes are still trying to carve out consistent roles. There is still some uncertainty surrounding what Murphy-Bunting can provide after missing an entire season with a significant knee injury. At 29, Tampa Bay isn't necessarily getting the same player who helped the franchise win Super Bowl LV, but this time they don't need him to be. If Murphy-Bunting proves he is healthy, the Buccaneers now have an experienced corner who can step into multiple roles without having to learn Bowles' defense from scratch. For a secondary relying heavily on young players its insurance and it could make the competition at cornerback much more interesting as the regular season begins.

Paige Bueckers sees her first major tournament for the U.S. women's national team alongside fellow newcomers Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese as the natural course of one generation replacing another.
The Dallas Wings star wants to be clear, though. This FIBA World Cup — not to mention any Olympic or other international event that might follow — isn't some sort of entitlement.
"We don't take it for granted and think we're entitled to it just because we feel like it's our time now," Bueckers said. "We had to earn it, we had work for it and we're all extremely grateful for that. We've been competing with and against each other our whole lives, and something that I admire is their work ethic and what it took to get here."
Team USA begins pursuit of a fifth consecutive World Cup ***** le against China on Friday in Berlin in the first of three games in group play. The WNBA is taking a nearly three-week break to accommodate the tournament.
For Bueckers, Indiana's Clark and Atlanta's Reese, it means putting aside thoughts of the looming WNBA playoffs to start what each would hope is a long international career. They were together when the U.S. won a World Cup qualifier in Puerto Rico in March.

The SEC hopes to grab the Tigers by the tail.
Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports reports that the conference is exploring various ways to address LSU's plan to add former NFL players to its team, including "extreme measures."
The possibilities reportedly include boycotting competition against the school, probation, or expulsion. The SEC also is considering filing a federal lawsuit on the issue.
It was a federal lawsuit against Texas Tech from the Big 12 that prompted the Red Raiders to abandon the plan to allow quarterback Brendan Sorsby to play this year, after he won an injunction against the NCAA's gambling suspension.
No decision is expected before Thursday's hearing on whether the pending TRO will become a preliminary injunction.

The Miami Heat are known as a storied franchise in the NBA. Under Pat Riley's influence in the '90s, the "Heat Culture" became the team's foundation and philosophy. Although Riley transitioned to a front-office role later in his career, Miami's philosophy remained as Erik Spoelstra took over as head coach in 2008.
Although the Miami Heat were competitive under Pat Riley, the Heat became a different monster under Erik Spoelstra. From managing superstars like Dwyane Wade and LeBron James to nurturing the newer generation of stars like Bam Adebayo, Spoelstra has been one of the most impactful coaches in NBA history.
Currently, Erik Spoelstra also serves as head coach for the USA men's national team ahead of the 2028 Olympics, which will mark the end of his three-year cycle in the role. Coincidentally, 2028 will also mark 20 years since Spoelstra took over the Heat head coaching role, and according to Heat insider Ira Winderman, it may be the ideal opportunity for him to make a move. Winderman shared:
"When you talk about the Heat turnaround, after the 2028 Los Angeles games, to me, it would be the natural time for Spo to maybe move to the front office to step back."
"Right now, I know he loves it. It would make sense. But who knows? Maybe he's one of those coaching lifers. Maybe he's Hubie, and he's going to come back, you know, in a different way and keep doing that, just like I think Pat Riley will never fade away."

The Chicago Bears have officially wrapped the preseason and are now faced with trimming the roster to 53 players by Sunday night's deadline.
Every year, there are some surprising additions and surprising cuts on initial 53-man rosters across the NFL, and we've seen that with the Bears in the past. While there are a number of players deserving of a spot on the 53-man roster, not everyone can make it, especially in position rooms that are already stacked.
There have been some standout performances for Chicago during training camp and preseason. But will it be enough to earn a coveted roster spot? With roster cuts looming, here are some potential surprise cuts for the Bears.
Kaden Davis has been the preseason darling for Chicago this summer, and it certainly feels like he's earned himself that final wide receiver roster spot. Davis has impressed in the passing game and has even garnered looks as a returner, which indicates he could be primed for a roster spot. But there have been some other standout performances at receiver, including Maurice Alexander, JP Richardson and Ray-Ray McCloud. Davis certainly feels like one of the safest bets on this list, but there's also a chance that the Bears only carry five wideouts.
Roschon Johnson, entering a contract year, has been forgotten in the running back room, but he's made a strong impression in the race for the RB3 spot. Johnson's work with the third-team offense, standout preseason performances and special teams contributions certainly make him the favorite for the spot. But Salvon Ahmed has had a standout training camp and preseason and could challenge for that spot. But it certainly feels like Johnson earned himself a spot on the 53-man roster with an impressive performance in the preseason finale.

WORCESTER — Reinforcements are coming for the Boston Red Sox.
Just before 8 p.m. on Saturday evening, Roman Anthony and Trevor Story walked out of Polar Park together with their Boston Red Sox duffle bags already packed in the back of a black car that eschewed them out of the Triple-A ballpark.
The two Red Sox players appear to have concluded their rehab ****** ignments and will return to the Red Sox soon.
"I'm excited to get back," Roman Anthony said a few minutes before leaving. "I'm excited to just get back to the normalcy of seeing the guys and being around the boys and for it to be a different environment."
"I feel like I'm ready," said Story after he and Anthony both played in the WooSox' game. "I'm excited."

We're just hours away from the Baltimore Ravens kicking off their preseason finale against the neighboring Washington Commanders at M&T Bank Stadium.
Some reserves are trying to make the roster. Others are trying to earn a larger role, settle a starting competition, or demonstrate that Baltimore can trust them when the regular season begins. The Commanders provide the final preseason test before those decisions become transactions.
These 15 players deserve attention if they are included in Baltimore's playing plan.
The question is whether ******* nano gives the Ravens enough reason to carry three quarterbacks. Watch how he handles pressure and whether he can keep the offense moving without taking unnecessary risks. A controlled finish would support the case he has already made.
The Michigan State rookie needs to show Baltimore he can handle more than carries. With Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, and Adam Randall occupying the projected roster spots, Tau-Tolliver's pass protection and special-teams work could determine whether he remains in the team's plans. Decisive running and ball security would strengthen his case for a practice squad opportunity.

Well, that was a frustrating game.
As I said in the thread, we weren't going to run the table. If they had to win every game left to get into the playoffs, it wasn't going to happen. They need to win most of their games, but not all of them.
That ninth inning……After two outs, Daz Cameron singled. Brett Bateman followed with a single and went to second on defensive indifference. Nathan Lukes singled them both home.
And then…..Lukes ignored the first base coach's stop sign and was thrown out trying to turn it into a double. This CAN NOT HAPPEN. His run didn't matter. If he score from second on a single, we would still be behind. He had to stop at first and hope that Vlad has another good at bat. You can not get thrown out at second when you aren't the tying run. I don't know what he was thinking.

In this week's Injury Report, Roman Anthony's return could be imminent. The Dodgers lost Andy Pages to a fractured left hand, while Will Smith has been cleared for a rehab **** ignment. And the Yankees' rotation took a hit with Ryan Weathers sidelined. All that and more as we highlight all of the most relevant injury news around baseball.

In addition to becoming the exclusive home of Sunday Night Baseball, NBC Sports will broadcast MLB Sunday Leadoff, "Opening Day" and Labor Day primetime games, the first round of the MLB Draft, the entire Wild Card round of the postseason, and much more.
Anthony could be nearing his return from the injured list. He started a rehab **** ignment last week with Double-A Portland and will be moving his **** ignment to Triple-A Worcester. He went 2-for-2 with a homer and two walks in his first rehab game and may only need a few more at-bats before returning to the Red Sox lineup, potentially later this week when the team travels to New York after their series in Miami. The 22-year-old outfielder has been out of action since May 4 with a partially torn tendon in his finger. Anthony's return could be significant for both the Red Sox and fantasy managers down the stretch.

FAYETTEVILLE — Enough waiting around.
The Arkansas football quarterback competition is over with two weeks remaining in the preseason.
First-year head coach Ryan Silverfield teased during SEC Media Days and at his press conference previewing fall camp that the Razorbacks might not announce the winner between KJ Jackson and AJ Hill until the offense ran on the field in Week 1 against North Alabama. Instead, the Hogs made things official on Sunday, Aug. 23, labeling Jackson as the starter.
After splitting first-team reps through the first 14 practices, Jackson will now have two weeks to build chemistry with the other offensive starters. Silverfield said it was a tight battle, and he remains confident in Hill, but Jackson created separation in one key category.
"Ultimately, it came down to the actual situational football," Silverfield said. "I believe a quarterback, in order to have success, has to be really efficient in those things. You guys hear me quite often talk about two-minute offense, four-minute offense, the check plays, the different things that come up."

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday because of a dislocated left shoulder.
The A's also announced first baseman Nick Kurtz was moved to the 60-day IL with a strained right thumb. Outfielder Tyler Soderstrom, already out for the season because of a left hip injury, underwent surgery in Vail, Colorado.
Infielder Michael Stefanic and right-hander Kade Morris were called up from Triple-A and right-hander Taylor Rashi was optioned to Las Vegas.
Wilson is on the IL for the third time this season. He has a 115-game streak without committing an error, a major league record for a shortstop. Wilson, an All-Star last year, is hitting .266 with 37 RBIs in 80 games.
Kurtz, the 2025 AL Rookie of the Year, was placed on the 10-day IL on Aug. 4. He was batting .256 with 21 home runs and 69 RBIs in 99 games.

Aston Villa's extensive list of summer outgoings has been extended with the departure of England defender Ezri Konsa, who has completed a move to Premier League champions ******* nal.
The 28-year-old has joined Mikel Arteta's side on a four-year deal, which includes the option for a further year. The London-born defender has set the Gunners back £51 million, with another £4 million in add-ons (total of $76.3 million).
Konsa will provide ******* nal with some much-needed depth at both centre and right back, with William Saliba and Jurrien Timber both currently sidelined.

BEREA, Ohio — Before the Buffalo Bills took the field for a joint practice with the Cleveland Browns, Joe Brady took a step back from his comments earlier in training camp.
Before the Bills left St. John Fisher University, Brady said he hated in-practice fights. Then he proceeded to praise his rookies for being willing to scrap and stand up for themselves during practices.
Brady said again he didn't want to see any fights with the Browns. And then he added another "but."
"There's got to be an accountability and a discipline to what we do," Brady said. "But I also want the guys to have a mindset and a personality while they're out there."
It's obvious Brady is willing to have players toe the line far more than Sean McDermott did. Brady hasn't condoned dirty play, but he's not going to discipline players for a shoving match or reprimand players for chirping.

On Tuesday at Barton Hills Country Club in Ann Arbor, the mood was light, not what you'd expect with a United States Golf **** ociation championship right around the corner.
Players said the vibe felt more like a reunion than the buildup to a major championship.
Of course, they expect that to change come Thursday morning.
"I also enjoy seeing everyone, seeing everybody and catching up, seeing what's going on," Annika Sorenstam, the World Golf Hall-of-Famer, said Tuesday. "It's so fun, because you've got 120 players here and we're all just excited to play and compete at a different level than maybe before. But we all try, and we're out there with our caddies reading the greens and trying to get the yardage books.
"It's like old times, but it's not really old times. But it's kind of fun to be back and do it.
