Clay Greenfield delivered a solid performance in Friday's Love's RV Stop 225 at Talladega Superspeedway, finishing 15th in his No. 95 Chevrolet. The GK Racing driver qualified 21st and gained six positions during an event featuring multiple major accidents and an overtime finish.
Greenfield entered the race hoping to capitalize on the unpredictable nature of superspeedway racing. The opening stage featured intense drafting competition, with several drivers exchanging positions while attempting to maintain momentum. Greenfield remained competitive through the first segment and avoided the eight-truck accident that occurred on Lap 17.
The incident eliminated numerous drivers and temporarily interrupted the race, but Greenfield continued battling for track position. His Chevrolet remained in competition throughout the second stage as several other trucks encountered tire problems and mechanical issues.
The final stage featured another major accident on Lap 57, followed by a late caution that forced the event into overtime. Greenfield avoided the race-ending damage that affected several competitors and maintained his position on the lead lap. He ultimately finished 15th, completing all 86 laps and earning 22 points.
The performance represented a positive afternoon for Greenfield, who gained six positions from his qualifying effort and completed the entire race against a competitive Truck Series field.

Michael Carrick has shed some light on Manchester United's injury problems of late.
The manager addressed reporters following Manchester United's 1-1 draw at Elland Road against rivals Leeds United yesterday.

Post-match, Carrick said that the reason Lisandro Martinez had to be withdrawn at the interval was that he had suffered a 'thigh problem' in the first 45 minutes.
Keen to not make it any worse, the centre-half was hooked before play got back underway, with Noussair Mazraoui taking his place.

The No. 6 Oregon Ducks are sure to fall in the rankings after suffering a 39-31 Week 2 loss to the unranked Oklahoma State Cowboys. After being crowned the favorite to win the national championship throughout the offseason, the Ducks seem to be anything but.
After the tough loss, sports fans jumped on social media and made fun of the program. Many criticized Dan Lanning, while others implied that Oregon has managed to underperform at some point nearly every season. Others simply found the loss to Oklahoma State hilarious.
"Oregon really lost," one sports fan said with a laugh-crying emoji.

He now has 18 catches for 257 yards and 3 touchdowns through three games. Texas native Kevin Ferrygood also had a 20-yard touchdown. First-year wide receivers coach Isaac Fruechte's class looks promising.

Here we go, folks! The Atlanta Braves went up to Philadelphia and got a split in a four-game series against the Phillies last week and now they'll have to hold serve against this same Philadelphia team a week later if they want to ensure that their hold on the NL East lead is as sturdy as possible as the calendar begins to wind down. Will Chris Sale continue to come up big for the Braves? Can Atlanta figure out a way to do some damage against Aaron Nola? Hopefully we'll be talking about a win for the Braves once the night is over!

Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) was limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 10.
SOURCE: Commanders.com
Why It Matters: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Croskey-Merritt will be cleared to play in Week 1. He should see a majority of the carries if he plays and can be at least a flex option in most fantasy leagues.

Vincent Kompany and Bayern Munich have received a major injury boost ahead of their opening UEFA Champions League game against Bodø/Glimt on Thursday. Serge Gnabry, who hasn't played since last season's Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid in April, returned to full team training on Monday, according to Bild.
Eager to make up for lost time following his adductor tear, it's quite possible that Gnabry could return to the squad as early as Thursday, which could have consequences for summer signing Ismael Saibari. The duo will compete for the No.10 spot behind Harry Kane, a position that has also been occupied by fellow summer arrival Nathaniel Brown, in the absence of Jamal Musiala.
Kompany, therefore, has plenty of options to keep things interesting. Notably, following Bayern's 0-0 draw against Bundesliga returnees Schalke 04, Didi Hamann criticised Saibari's performance. "Saibari is a wonderful footballer," he told Sky90. "But he's too slow. He's not fast at all, he's like a poor Kane.
"They say Saibari can play four positions. I think the only position Saibari can play is behind Kane, because he's too slow on the wing. Gnabry is a class above him there."

It's still unbelievable to think about how Michigan walked away from Saturday's game against Western Michigan with a 13-12 win.
It definitely looked like Western Michigan won the game until a review put one second left on the clock, giving Michigan one more chance at a Hail Mary. Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood uncorked a pass toward the end zone, and it was caught by JJ Buchanan.

Western Michigan president Russ Kavalhuna spoke about the play during a news conference on Sunday and confirmed there is no way to appeal the decision.
"I did want to find a way to appeal that decision, but there is none," Kavalhuna said.

The Premier League have announced their nominees for the Manager of the Month and Player of the Month awards for August, with ****** nal receiving nominations in both categories.
Mikel Arteta has been nominated for Manager of the Month, having led ****** nal to two wins and a goal difference of +4 in the Gunners' opening two games of the new campaign.
No other manager can better that, but Enzo Maresca can match it with Manchester City. Though City have conceded twice more than ****** nal, they've also scored twice more.
It's not hard to guess the other two nominees, as they're the managers of the other two clubs to win two from two – Hull City's Sergej Jakirovic and Chelsea's Xabi Alonso. Voting is open here until Monday, September 7th at 12:00 BST.

In a much-anticipated decision, the Las Vegas Raiders named Kirk Cousins their starting quarterback for Week 1.
Raiders coach Klint Kubiak announced the news Wednesday, Sept. 2.
"He played really good football," Kubiak said, via the team's official website. "I'm really happy with all three of our quarterbacks. Kirk's had a really good offseason, very good camp and he's earned it."
Cousins will start the Raiders' season opener against the Miami Dolphins in Las Vegas.
"Where I've seen him grow is in his leadership and his command," Kubiak said of Cousins.

The future is bright, and the future is now for Indiana Fever writes Robin Lundberg, as he believes the current crop of WNBA stars led by Caitlin Clark will bring plenty of success in Team USA's campaign in Berlin for the 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup.
With plenty of firepower in coach Kara Lawson's side, many feel that the time has come for the passing of the baton from the likes of Maya Moore and Diana Taurasi a decade ago to Clark and Angel Reese as they lead the charge for Team USA.
In a video posted on X on Sunday, Lindberg shared his thoughts on the "new era" of women's basketball in the country and how it will give more hope for the growth of the sport.
"Anytime you get this changing of the guard, in real time for Team USA, that is reason for increased interest," Lindberg said. "Being representative of this new era, it's nice to see that for Team USA."
He also pointed out that the trio of Clark, Angel Reese, and Paige Bueckers will surely turn a lot of heads once the tournament starts on Friday.

The San Francisco 49ers have a handful of players who'll be wearing new jersey numbers when they debut in the 2026 regular season. Three wide receivers including Jacob Cowing, De'Zhaun Stribling and Demarcus Robinson are all wearing numbers they didn't wear in the preseason per the Athletic's Matt Barrows.
Cowing has changed his number from 6 to 4 following the departure of quarterback Adrian Martinez who wore No. 4 during the preseason.
Stribling, who was in No. 15 during the preseason, has switched to No. 7 which was being worn by Demarcus Robinson. This is a bad beat for anyone who bought a Stribling jersey during his stellar preseason performance.
Robinson is now wearing No. 11, which belonged to Brandon Aiyuk before Aiyuk deserted the team and was placed on the reserve/left squad list.
While Aiyuk is technically still under contract with the 49ers, he's not on the roster so he isn't ******* igned a jersey number which freed up the No. 11 for Robinson. The last time Robinson wore No. 11 was from 2018-21 when he was with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Atlanta Dream hosted the league-leading Minnesota Lynx on Sunday. Angel Reese and her team won 89-81. Allisha Gray led the Dream with 23 points and 11 rebounds, while Olivia Miles led the Lynx with 21 points.
One big moment from the game was the altercation between Reese and Courtney Williams. During the second quarter with just under six minutes remaining, Williams tried to **** the ball from Reese. The contact led to a small scuffle, after which the referee blew the whistle.
Napheesa Collier and the referee stepped in to prevent the situation from escalating. But that couldn't stop Reese from firing off some heated words at the Lynx star. Fans gave their verdict on the exchange.
"She called her bald??" one fan wondered.
The referee called a foul and **** sed it as a jump ball.

Another day, another suitor for Iliman Ndiaye. In today's version, it's Tottenham Hotspur who have reached an agreement in principle with Everton for the Senegal international for a fee of about £60 million.
In his comments yesterday after Spurs sunk to their second consecutive league defeat to start the season, Roberto De Zerbi indicated that Richarlison had asked to leave the club 'many times', and now that will be allowed with a move to the Toffees accepted for about £35 million.
There had been a hue and cry when Everton had been forced to sell Richarlison quickly to Spurs a few years ago for £60m to balance the books at the end of the financial year, when his performances saving Everton from relegation demanded more. Now it looks like the Toffees are selling another forward in his prime for lower than his market value, and to add insult to injury, are overpaying for the Brazilian to return too given how his career has tailed off with injuries and the like.
As of this afternoon the Toffees appear to still be working on a loan for Jack Grealish, close to making a move for right back Kenny Tete from Fulham, and also have an interest in USMNT striker Folarin Balogun. Beto appears to be headed to Fiorentina and Adam Aznou on loan to Malaga.
This latest round of transfer rumours basically indicates that Everton are shifting into "win now" mode with adding older, Premier League-proven players. The concern will be that at the end of the year with David Moyes' contract up, the next manager could get saddled with the debt.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Sam Surridge scored his 13th goal this season and added an ***** ist, Hany Mukhtar also had a goal and an ***** ist, and Nashville SC beat FC Cincinnati 4-0 on Saturday night for its fourth consecutive win.
Nashville (16-2-4) leads all of MLS with 52 points, the most in MLS history through the first 22 games of a season, and has one loss in its last 16 games dating to a 1-0 defeat at Chicago on April 4.
Bryan Acosta and Ahmed Qasem each added a goal for Nashville. Brian Schwake had six saves and his 10 shutouts this season are tied with Jonathan Bond and Yohei Takaoka for second most (Hugo Lloris, 11) in MLS.
Surridge opened the scoring with a header in the 43rd minute. Cristian Espinoza played a cross, off a ball-ahead from Andy Nájar, from near the right end line to Surridge, who went up high for the finish at the back post.
Mukhtar, who has scored in back-to-back games and has four goals in the last four matches, redirected a first-touch finish, off a cross by in the 54th.

Two eagles propelled overnight leader Casandra Alexander to a second-round 66 as the South African seized control of the Women's Irish Open at the K Club.
Following a bogey-free 63 on Thursday, Alexander eagled the par-five 10th - her opening hole - on Friday and followed that with back-to-back birdies.
Having dropped a shot on 13, the 27-year-old carded a birdie two on 17 before recording her second eagle of the round at the third.
After a bogey on six, a birdie on seven gave Alexander a 36-hole total of 129 to sit five shots clear of the Czech Republic's Sara Kouskova, who followed an opening 68 with a 66.
Canice Screene leads the home challenge on five under after mixing seven birdies with two bogeys in a five-under 67, but Aine Donegan slipped back to two under with a disappointing 73.

Mory Bamba didn't just miss an opportunity to suit up for the New York Jets' during their preseason victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He missed a shot at building on some serious momentum birthed during the opener. Let's just say he made quite the impression.
His work from the week before was so good that it's still earning recognition. Following Week 2 of the preseason, Pro Football Focus continued to rank Bamba among the NFL's highest-graded rookies. The Jets cornerback checked in with an 86.0 overall grade, placing him among the league's top first-year performers through two weeks of exhibition play.
The ranking is particularly impressive all things considered. Again, it bears repeating. His grade is based entirely on his preseason debut against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Bamba was targeted 10 times on just 29 coverage snaps, allowing four receptions for 54 yards while also recording two pass breakups, two tackles, and a defensive stop. One of his best moments came on a pass breakup in the end zone, while he also flashed on special teams during an encouraging all-around performance.
Unfortunately, an injury kept him out of the Steelers game and could complicate his path to the 53-man roster. Still, Bamba may have shown enough to remain firmly in the organization's plans. The Jets face difficult roster decisions in the coming days, but developmental cornerbacks who flash both defensive and special teams value are often worth keeping around.

The 2026 college football season kicks off on Saturday. And while there are lots of notable developments on the field this time of year, there are plenty off of the field as well.
One of those came on Wednesday, when the Big Ten announced a contract extension for commissioner Tony Petitti. The extension, which runs through 2033, was unanimously approved by the league's 18 university presidents and chancellors.
"Tony has provided outstanding vision for the Conference through extremely turbulent times," COP/C Chair and President of Indiana University Pamela Whitten said in a statement. "We're thankful for his leadership and appreciate his spirit of innovation and collaboration as we continue to navigate the changing landscape of college sports."
Petitti has served as the Big Ten commissioner since 2023. While USC agreed to join the league prior to him taking over, he has overseen the transition of the four West Coast schools into the conference.

Olivia Smith has lived her life under a spotlight since she was 15 - but she had been preparing herself even before she became a professional footballer.
Now 22, Smith became the first £1m women's footballer last year when **** nal signed her in a world record deal from Liverpool.
She had joined Liverpool for a club record of £210,000 just one season earlier, having made a name for herself when she was given her Canada debut aged 15.
Smith became the first woman to score for Liverpool at Anfield in a Women's Super League match in October 2025.
Now, for the second year in a row, she is the first non-English recipient of the PFA Women's Young Player of the Year award.

The hope is that preseason action can provide some answers to pressing questions that a team may have. But for the Indianapolis Colts, Saturday's performance against Atlanta only raised more questions around three specific position groups.
The depth of the cornerback, defensive end, and offensive line units was brought into focus during that game and, if called upon this upcoming season, could be a potential problem for the Colts.
Whether or not those around Laiatu Latu can generate steady pressure this season has been an unknown all offseason. The preseason hasn't provided many answers either. The combination of Caden Curry, George Gumbs, Micheal Clemons, and Jaylahn Tuimoloau played a total of 58 pass rush snaps and generated three pressures. Tuimoloau and Clemons didn't have any.
Laiatu Latu will lead the way and Arden Key will start opposite of him, but defensive end is a heavily rotated position with four or five players seeing steady snaps. Can the Colts get consistent production from the rotational defenders at this position?
The depth of this unit was thought to be quite good during the offseason, but the preseason has proved otherwise. The trio of Mekhi Blackmon, Rob Carter Jr., and Johnathan Edwards all took their lumps on Saturday and throughout the preseason.

The Dutch Grand Prix is bidding goodbye to Formula 1 on Sunday but its organizers say it could potentially "serve as an alternative venue" in the future amid continuing uncertainty over next year's schedule.
Already this year, the security situation in the Middle East following the outbreak of the Iran war has meant Bahrain's race was moved to Malaysia and the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was canceled.
F1 has indicated at least one extra event in Europe if the season-ending races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi can't take place as planned. One likely candidate could be the Imola circuit in Italy. There are more question marks over how the four contracted Middle East races could be included in the 2027 schedule.
"Circuit Zandvoort could serve as an alternative venue in the future if another Grand Prix were unable to take place due to geopolitical circumstances, for example. The circuit's FIA Grade 1 license will remain valid for another three years," the Dutch Grand Prix organization told The ******* ociated Press in a statement Saturday.
"In practice, however, many factors would need to be considered, including the necessary permits, the availability of equipment and the required preparation time. Moreover, there are other venues on the Formula 1 calendar that would make more sense from a logistical perspective. At this stage, therefore, this is not a concrete scenario."

The PGA Tour's FedEx Cup Playoffs are down to 50 players.
After the first leg, last week's FedEx St. Jude Classic, the survivors will go to St. Louis and the Bellerive Country Club to play the BMW Championship Aug. 20-23. It's the first time the Tour has been to Bellerive since 2008, when Camilo Villegas beat Dudley Hart by two shots in a battle of former Florida Gators.
There's one more stop after this week: the Tour Championship at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, where the top 30 on the points list after the BMW will play for the biggest single purse and first-place check in golf.
The FedEx Cup was created in 2007 to give the PGA Tour something it had never had: a postseason. At first there four playoff events but that has been whittled down to three. The playoffs originally began the week before Labor Day but now they end before the final holiday weekend of the summer.
Points are awarded based on a player's finish in a tournament and the category of that tournament, using a sliding scale based on their position.

ESPN co-founder Bill Rasmussen passed away at the age of 93.
Rasmussen brought his vision of a 24/7 all-sports network to life in 1979. Even though he left the network the next year, his impact in helping to launch the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network has far surpassed anyone's reasonable expectations of what could be possible.
In the wake of his passing, several pillars of ESPN's past and present stepped forward to pay tribute.
"Bill was a remarkable man – a visionary and an innovator who conceived the idea of a network entirely devoted to sports," said ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro in a statement released by ESPN. "Quite simply, none of us would be here today if it wasn't for Bill's passion and all the hard work and entrepreneurial spirit he put into building ESPN in the late 1970s – key aspects of our company culture that still carry on to this day."
"He was such a grateful person and every sports fan can be grateful for Bill. He wasn't a glass half-full guy; his glass was always overflowing with optimism. He greeted everyone with a smile and we can all smile knowing Bill's legacy," ESPN legend Chris Berman added in the ESPN announcement.

The Baltimore Ravens received some unexpected news last week when veteran offensive tackle Kendall Lamm elected to retire. That decision removed an experienced presence from the offensive line room and immediately created additional opportunities for younger players fighting to establish themselves.
Two of those players may have already begun making their case. When Jesse Minter spoke with reporters Monday, he was asked about the performances of tackles Carson Vinson and Gerad Lichtenhan following Baltimore's 24-7 preseason-opening victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. His response suggested the Ravens liked what they saw from both young linemen.
"I thought both [Carson Vinson and Gerad Lichtenhan] really acquitted themselves well. They played a ton of snaps. They really got an opportunity to play a majority of the game."
That alone would have been encouraging for two players trying to earn larger roles. What stood out, however, was how Minter described the quality of their work.
The Ravens didn't simply need Vinson and Lichtenhan to survive extended action against Philadelphia. They needed them to show they could handle it. According to their head coach, that's exactly what they did.

The Danish midfielder was pursued by Celtic across three consecutive transfer windows before eventually leaving Go Ahead Eagles for the Ligue 2 side earlier this summer.
Celtic's attempts to land Breum became particularly notable last summer when Go Ahead Eagles' sporting director publicly mocked the Hoops' approach, comparing their negotiations unfavourably with Rangers' move for Oliver Antman.
Breum has wasted little time making an impression at his new club.
The 22-year-old scored against Rangers at Ibrox during pre-season, before also finding the net in friendlies against Lausanne and Venezia.
He carried that form into the competitive campaign.
