When the U.S. men’s national team reconvenes on Sept. 21 to prepare for four exhibition games late this month and early next, it will probably look different from the 26-player squad that reached the round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Forward Christian Pulisic hasn’t played for AC Milan since suffering two microfractures in his right leg during the tournament co-hosts’ humiliating 4-1 knockout loss to Belgium. World […]

DODGER STADIUM (Los Angeles, CA) — Before Wednesday’s game, manager Dave Roberts finally acknowledged the obvious. For much of the last couple of months, the Dodgers and Shohei Ohtani have insisted the knee and bicep issues preventing the two-way star from pitching weren’t impacting him as a hitter. But they can no longer pretend. Not after Ohtani’s 0-for-4, grimace-inducing night against St. Louis. Ohtani had been ramping back up as […]

For a driver who ranks ninth all time with 64 career victories, he enters The Chase with the same storyline as the last several years. Will he finally win a title or is his fate to be the best driver who never won a championship? "I've felt […]

The question posed to quarterback Dylan Raiola, Oregon's splashy offseason transfer from Nebraska, during the Ducks' on-campus media day in early August was fairly simple: "When was the last time you entered a football season not the starter?" a reporter asked. "Uhhhmm," Raiola replied, dragging out the sound and tilting his head to one side while pondering exactly how he should respond. "I don’t want to — yeah — I don’t think […]

It was nearly a wrap for New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo after eight games. "Yeah, definitely. Probably a month in," Skattebo said in an appearance on "Up & Adams" on Thursday morning when asked if he considered retiring from the NFL after suffering a dislocated ankle, an open tibia fracture and a ruptured deltoid ligament in the eighth game of his 2025 rookie campaign. "The first month was […]

Luke Fickell has a chance to flip his fortunes in Madison, Wisconsin, quicker than LSU can say, Joey Freshwater was a mistake on Saturday. Fickell — who otherwise might be looking at his fourth and final season as head coach at Wisconsin — is just one win a way from having the Badgers faithful chant his name in exuberance. To do that, though, he has to beat his mentee and […]
