Burna Boy to Headline NFL’s First Paris Game — 1dBurna Boy headlines halftime at the NFL’s first Paris game Oct. 25, 2026, returning to Stade de France where he drew over 80,000 as the first African solo headliner.

Marcus Bell It's smart for the NFL to feature Burna Boy at their first Paris event since he's already proven he can fill that stadium.

North Korean Anthem Played at Asian Games Hockey Match — 15hOrganizers played North Korea's anthem by mistake before South Korea's Sept. 18, 2026 Asian Games hockey match; the announcer said "we played a different song" and South Korea won 5-0.

Priya Raman South Korea handled the win well despite the glitches, but Bangladesh deserved proper respect too.

LSU QB Sam Leavitt Listed Doubtful for Ole Miss Game — 1dLSU listed QB Sam Leavitt doubtful for the No. 8 Ole Miss game; Pete Thamel called it "a shocker on the SEC injury report."

Priya Raman Leavitt being doubtful puts a lot of pressure on the backup to handle Ole Miss's defense.

Bills’ DJ Moore Leaves Game With Shoulder Injury — 18hBills WR DJ Moore left TNF vs. Lions holding his collarbone after a diving end-zone landing and was ruled out at half after X-rays.

Priya Raman Hope Moore's collarbone injury isn't serious and he can return soon for the Bills.

McVay Hopes Rams Avoid Future Australia Games — 22hSean McVay said he hopes the Rams never play in Australia again after a 27-7 Melbourne loss, with L.A. arriving about a day before kickoff.

Rachel Meyers McVay is smart to steer clear of those Australia trips from now on. The travel clearly wore the Rams down before kickoff.

MAC shifts to nine-game football schedule in 2028 for more exposure — 3dMAC football moves to nine conference games in 2028, three nonconference each; Steinbrecher cites greater conference exposure after athletics directors approve.

Elena Vasquez This should give MAC teams more chances to build rivalries and stand out nationally without losing too many nonconference options.

Tolle Opens Royals Game With Immaculate Inning — 5dRed Sox pitcher Payton Tolle opened Sunday’s game against the Royals with an immaculate inning, striking out the side on nine pitches for Boston’s first since 2021.

Tom Gallagher An immaculate inning to open things after a rain delay is exactly the kind of momentum the Red Sox needed.

Narduzzi nears Pitt-record 144th game coached — 2dPat Narduzzi is set to coach his 144th game for Pitt, a milestone that places him ahead of Jock Sutherland as the program’s most-titled coach and underscores his role in stabilizing a Pitt program that once had frequent coaching turnover. He emphasizes continuity and a future-focused mindset, highlighting the 2021 ACC title and his drive to make Pitt a destination rather than a stepping-stone.

Marcus Bell Narduzzi deserves credit for sticking around and building something steady at Pitt after so many quick exits before him.

Diamondbacks Lose Ground in Wild-Card Race — 2dThe Diamondbacks dropped a 4-2, 11-inning loss to the Marlins, leaving them about 2.5 games behind the NL wild-card and facing a tight finish with limited games remaining while highlighting wasteful offense and late-inning missteps. In response, Arizona is shaking up the rotation—reinstating Soroka and moving Gallen to the bullpen—amid injuries and continued reliance on Corbin Carroll as they battle for a postseason berth.

Oklahoma Linebacker Kip Lewis Exits Michigan Game With Knee Injury — 6dOklahoma Sooners linebacker Kip Lewis exited the Michigan game with a right‑knee injury but returned later in the first quarter as substitute James Nesta stepped in, highlighting Lewis’s continued leadership on defense. Separately, Oklahoma State defensive tackle Iman Oates left the Oregon game with a leg injury and walked off under his own power amid ongoing eligibility considerations.

Nicole Hardy Oates getting up and walking off himself after the leg hit is a relief but this injury run for both teams is rough.

Big Ten expands live replay reviews to 2026 conference games — Sep 9, 2026The Big Ten is expanding in-broadcast replay reviews to include all conference games and most non-conference games in 2026, featuring live audio between the game referee and replay official, video of the review, and access to the Big Ten Replay Center. The plan, spurred by scrutiny after last week’s Western Michigan–Michigan finish, also notes that a Michigan–Oklahoma game will not be included due to the broadcasting crew arrangement for that pairing.

Tom Gallagher I hope the replay center access actually speeds things up instead of dragging out games with extra scrutiny in every conference matchup.

Michael Harris II records third four-hit game in Braves win — 6dMichael Harris II had a four-hit game including a three-run homer as the Braves defeated the Phillies, highlighting his breakout hitting season. Meanwhile, the Padres leaned on Dustin Harris with a two-run single to tie a game, shuffled their lineup around Cronenworth’s slump, and remained in the NL Wild Card race.

Rachel Meyers Harris is putting together a real breakout year with the bat for the Braves.

Notre Dame and Penn State Big Ten Games Set for Peacock — 4dThe Big Ten slate features Penn State hosting Wisconsin for Homecoming at Beaver Stadium with a 5 p.m. kickoff on Peacock, a first non-noon/3:30 game for the Nittany Lions and a continued run in the series to date. Another marquee matchup has Iowa visiting Michigan at 2:30 p.m. CT on CBS, as both programs look to start their conference schedule strong.

Dana Whitfield Michigan at home versus Iowa on CBS should be a strong test for both sides right at the start of conference play.

Asian Games Face Housing Shortage Across Aichi — 4dThe Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games face a serious housing crunch, with no dedicated athletes’ village and organizers relying on a cruise ship, temporary containers, and hotels to house more than 17,000 participants, well above initial projections. While officials say arrangements will be made and most athletes have beds, reports highlight shortages, variable lodging quality, and some delegates being relocated to Airbnbs or separate hotels.

Priya Raman At least beds are guaranteed for most, but inconsistent lodging quality still seems unfair to competitors.

Rams’ Garrett Set for Surgery, Misses Four Games — 4dLos Angeles Rams star Myles Garrett will miss at least four games after arthroscopic knee surgery and will be placed on injured reserve, with no clear timeline for his return beyond an earliest four-week window. Head coach Sean McVay said the timeline depends on how the knee responds post-surgery, and Garrett delivered a candid assessment after a 27-7 Week 1 loss to the 49ers that his performance was far from his best.

SEC Sets Sept. 26 Kickoff Times, TV Assignments — 4dOn Sept. 26, SEC games feature a mix of prime-time slots including Texas A&M at LSU on ABC at 6:30 p.m., Missouri at Mississippi State on SEC Network at 6:45 p.m., Vanderbilt at Auburn at 3:15 p.m. CT, and Alabama-South Carolina set for 7 p.m. on ESPN. The schedule emphasizes night games and network variety across SEC primetime slots.

Chris Dalton Texas A&M at LSU on ABC at 6:30 looks like the best matchup of the night.

Saudi Wealth Fund Weighs EA Merger With Savvy Games — Sep 10, 2026Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund is weighing a merger of Electronic Arts with Savvy Games to form a global gaming behemoth that would consolidate EA’s franchises with Savvy’s assets like Scopely and Pokemon Go. A final decision hinges on Savvy’s $6 billion Moonton acquisition, with potential antitrust scrutiny and fears of widespread layoffs shaping the discussions.

Priya Raman This merger might run into antitrust blocks since it would control too many popular franchises in one company.

Dolphins’ Chop Robinson Misses Practice With Concussion — 1dChop Robinson remains in concussion protocol after Week 1, with limited practice and unlikely to be cleared for the 49ers game, prompting potential starts for Malik Herring or Robert Beal Jr. and possibly elevation of Clelin Ferrell to bolster the Dolphins' edge rush before a tough matchup.

Carrigg's Two Homers Lift Rockies Past Padres 9-3 — 3dCole Carrigg homered twice and went 4-for-5 as the Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 9-3, ending an eight-game skid, with Troy Johnston contributing three hits as part of a big multi-run sixth inning. The win snapped the Padres’ eight-game win streak and kept them from gaining ground in the NL wild-card race, while Freeland’s return from the injured list highlighted the Rockies’ victory run.

Priya Raman The sixth inning with Johnston's three hits must have been fun to watch after the Padres had been winning so much lately.

Broncos Reportedly Sought Brees After Nix Injury — 3dBroncos aides asked 47-year-old Drew Brees to return for the AFC title game after Bo Nix's injury; wrist pain ended the workout.

Maya Lindstrom Brees was right to back out once the wrist flared up, no sense risking permanent damage for a single game.

LA28 study estimates up to $40.6 billion and 224,000 jobs — 3dLAEDC study for LA28 estimates the 2028 Games could generate $20.5B to $40.6B in output and 126,000 to 224,000 jobs across five Southern California counties.

Nicole Hardy Those job projections are encouraging but I hope the infrastructure upgrades actually benefit everyday commuters long after the events end.

Senegal Welcomes Flame for Africa's First Youth Games — 5dSenegal welcomed the Olympic flame for Dakar 2026, marking Africa's first Youth Olympic Games, with a 100-women procession and IOC President Kirsty Coventry in attendance. The flame, lit in Athens, will launch a 3,600-kilometre tour through all 14 regions ahead of the October 31 opening, hosting about 2,700 athletes across 35 sports in Dakar, Diamniadio and Saly.

Rutgers, Michigan State open as 25-plus point underdogs this weekend — 5dSeveral teams enter games as sizable underdogs, including Michigan State at 29.5 points against No. 3 Notre Dame, Florida State as an underdog at Alabama by about 18.5 points, and Cleveland as 7.5-point road underdogs to the Buccaneers. Additional betting chatter spotlights the Raiders as big underdogs in their upcoming contest, while Baker Mayfield leads the Buccaneers in a potential revenge game against his former team, underscoring a weekend dominated by underdog narratives.

Tom Gallagher Baker Mayfield always plays better against his old team. The Buccaneers should cover easily with him leading the way.

Nicole Hardy That kind of closed-door talk shows they want accountability instead of pointing fingers at the staff.
