The two Big Ten coaches acknowledged Monday they did not know there could be a discrepancy between what everyone was seeing on television and inside the stadium and the […]

Carolina's Jonathon Brooks missed his third straight practice with "general soreness," but Panthers coach Dave Canales remains hopeful the team's young running back will be ready for Sunday’s season opener against the Chicago Bears. Brooks spent time working on the side with trainers Monday while his teammates went through a short, non-padded practice. "We have to just keep taking it one day at a time," Canales said. "He ran out […]

LATROBE, Pa. — Everyone who knows Mike McCarthy understood where his heart always belonged, even if his eyes and feet were firmly wherever else he was. Nothing against Green Bay or Dallas, two places with rich and storied football histories and traditions. Pittsburgh is just different, especially for a Pittsburgh kid. "This is where I’m from. This is the cloth that I was cut from," the new Steelers coach told […]

Tua Tagovailoa has been named the Atlanta Falcons' starting quarterback for Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team announced Monday. The decision comes after Tagovailoa’s months-long competition with Michael Penix Jr., who started nine games for the Falcons in 2025 before suffering a season-ending torn ACL in November.

But in the 112-year history of the Friendly Confines, the venue has also hosted myriad other sporting events, including women’s pro baseball (as depicted in "A League of Their Own") and pro soccer, plus high school, college and pro football games. In addition to the Cubs, the Chicago Bears, […]

Mauricio Pochettino’s first U.S. men’s national team roster since the World Cup will be young, but it won’t include 19-year-old German-American defender Noahkai Banks. Pochettino on Monday said during a video conference with reporters that he’s been in contact with Banks in the two months since the USA was eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup by Belgium in the round of 16, but that the Hawaii-born center-back still hasn’t […]

Kyle Larson didn’t enter The Chase trying to win a race or win his third NASCAR Cup Series title. The defending champion insisted Wednesday that he and his team just want to "do the best job" they can every week. The best Sunday at Darlington Raceway might have been fifth. Staying out on older tires for a restart with 24 laps remaining, he held everyone off for 12 laps before […]

Kylian Mbappé believes this could be the year he wins the Ballon d’Or for the first time. He's optimistic after winning his second consecutive World Cup Golden Boot with 10 goals, the most in 56 years. He also overtook Lionel Messi for the most all-time World Cup goals with 22. There were also 42 goals in 44 matches for Real Madrid, although the club finished last season without a major […]

Week 1 of the college football season showed me enough to feel at least half decent about my updated rankings. I have some questions about a few title favorites, and I'm sure the fans of those teams do, too. Also, I feel better about Texas than I do Ohio State heading into their Week 2 showdown.
