Burna Boy to Headline NFL’s First Paris Game — 23hBurna 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 — 7hAt the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, South Korea’s men’s field hockey opener against Bangladesh was marred by anthem mix-ups, with North Korea’s anthem played in error and, in some reports, Bangladesh’s anthem was played first before South Korea’s, prompting apologies from organizers. South Korea still won 5-0, continuing their campaign amid surrounding diplomatic tensions and logistical glitches at the Games.

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

Bills’ DJ Moore Leaves Game With Shoulder Injury — 10hBills 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.

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.

MAC shifts to nine-game football schedule in 2028 for more exposure — 2dMAC 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.

McVay Hopes Rams Avoid Future Australia Games — 14hSean 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.

Tolle Opens Royals Game With Immaculate Inning — 4dRed 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 — 1dPat 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 — 5dOklahoma 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.

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.

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.

Notre Dame and Penn State Big Ten Games Set for Peacock — 3dThe 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.

Rookie Shay Ciezki Scores 22 in Mercury Comeback Win — 7hUndrafted rookie Shay Ciezki scored a career-high 22 off the bench, sparking a fourth-quarter rally as the Phoenix Mercury edged the Portland Fire 94-91 in the first game back from the FIBA World Cup break. Both teams were short-handed and eliminated from playoff contention despite the tight finish.

Marcus Bell Portland fought hard too but the short-handed roster made it tough to close out the win.

Rams’ Garrett Set for Surgery, Misses Four Games — 3dLos 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.

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.

SEC Sets Sept. 26 Kickoff Times, TV Assignments — 3dOn 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.

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.

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.

LA28 study estimates up to $40.6 billion and 224,000 jobs — 2dLAEDC 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.

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.
