On Thursday the SEC sued LSU, coach Lane Kiffin, President Wade Rousse, AD Verge Ausberry, and the LSU Board in the Northern District of Alabama, accusing them of recruiting players who had signed with the Browns, Saints, and Buccaneers. Greg Sankey testified the same day in Baton Rouge after a state judge left about 7 of 44 plaintiffs with SEC claims. Wright is practicing but likely sits Saturday vs Clemson under the seven-day rule; Friday is the SEC 105 roster deadline.
The Athletic's nearly five-month review found Dianna Russini's relationship with Patriots coach Mike Vrabel was in clear violation of its standards and should have been disclosed. Standards editor Mike Semel reviewed 903 stories, 77 videos, and 204 podcast episodes and did not find a clear link that she used the platform to promote Vrabel or his teams. He did not speak to Russini. The Athletic added editor's notes to four pieces. Russini resigned in April after New York Post resort photos. The A
Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said passing-game coordinator Kevin Patullo already had half of Hafley's Green Bay pressures on tape from fan-filmed training-camp video before the Packers-Eagles Week 1 game in São Paulo. Hafley called it disappointing and said he is not sure what you can do about it. Miami's camp rules prohibit audio and video recording.
Good Good CEO Matt Kendrick and president Joe Flannery are out after the Callaway driver-ad backlash. A Wednesday memo first reported by Business Insider said Kendrick decided to step down and Flannery chose to part ways. Co-founder Nahid Giga is interim CEO. Callaway had already ended the partnership and pledged $1 million to domestic-violence charities.
Amen Thompson agreed to a five-year, $208 million rookie-scale extension with the Houston Rockets, with a 10% trade kicker, through 2032. Shams Charania reported it Sep 3. ESPN says it is the same percentage of Houston's cap as Alperen Sengun's five-year, $185 million rookie extension in 2024. Thompson, the No. 4 pick in 2023, is the second 2023 draftee to sign a rookie extension after Victor Wembanyama. This is a contract, not a betting line
Apple streamed its first live MLB game in Vision Pro Immersive on Aug 28, Yankees vs Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. The feed is a separate 8K production with about a 180-degree field of view, spatial audio, and dedicated announcers, not a TV wrap. Three more September dates remain. The $3,500–$4,100 headset, weight, and battery life still keep it niche. Claims about lapsed fans sitting through a full game are Brodie Brazil's read, not Apple's.
Armchair Coach Justin's how-to says the game is in the trenches, the formation, and the matchups, not the ball. He walks a Chiefs zone-pressure bind, a Jesse Minter same-side four-man rush, a blocked alley for Derrick Henry, and a Seahawks smash-plus-scissors throw that put Jackson Smith-Njigba alone in the end zone. Teaching clip, not a scoreboard.
Deion Sanders is back in Atlanta tonight. Colorado opens at Georgia Tech at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN from Bobby Dodd Stadium. Brent Key told SI on Tuesday, "Deion is probably the biggest sports celebrity to ever play in the city of Atlanta, and he's coming back home." SportsCenter On Campus is live 5-5:30 p.m. ET from the top of Peters Parking Deck, with Matt Barrie hosting then calling the game with Chase Daniel and Paul Carcaterra. Last year Georgia Tech won 27-20 in Boulder. On r/CFB, Sanders' line
The Ringer posted a McShay Show clip in which Todd McShay says UCLA's Nico Iamaleava could be the breakout quarterback of the 2027 NFL Draft. The take is McShay's on-air projection as posted, not a consensus board this desk graded.
George Kittle and Nick Bosa are on the San Francisco plane leaving the Bay Area late Wednesday for Melbourne. That is the travel 53, not a Thursday dress list. Getting on the plane does not guarantee they play. Kickoff is Thursday, September 10 at 8:35 p.m. ET on Netflix at the MCG. Kittle was activated off PUP on August 23, had two positive practice days, and is trending to play. Bosa is ramping after an ACL and tendinitis and said he expects to play. The Rams are taking the opposite constructi
Jackson Koivun won the 3M Open on July 26 at 25-under 259, three shots ahead of Scottie Scheffler, in his third start as a pro. Three months after Auburn, Brandt Snedeker made the 21-year-old a captain's pick for Team USA at Medinah, September 24-27. Koivun is 48th on the U.S. points list and 66th in the world. Ben Griffin, 8th in points, and J.J. Spaun, 10th, were left home. FanDuel still has USA -400, Internationals +350, and a tie +1000. Kalshi's last verified pre-picks print is USA 81 percen
After Monday awards and Wednesday practice-squad fills, the in-season inventory is still open. Clubs may elevate up to two practice-squad players per week. A player gets three elevations, then a real 53 signing. Another club can sign your practice-squad player only onto its 53 and must keep him eligible three games. There is no practice-squad-to-practice-squad signing. The COVID weekly four-player shields are gone. No named skill poach has filed since Wednesday's practice-squad pack. Shop that b
The Patriots still have a $27.45 million option bonus due on A.J. Brown the day before Kickoff. ESPN's remaining-contract math is 2026 salary of $1.3 million plus that option, due Tuesday, September 8. Exercise and it prorates over five years, about $5.49 million a year plus the $1.3 million salary. Decline and the bonus converts to 2026 salary, about $28.75 million against this year's cap. Over The Cap prints the prorated shape as a model. The club has not filed that it picked the option up. Wa
Colorado beat Georgia Tech 14-13 on Thursday night at Bobby Dodd Stadium (ESPN gameId 401856776). Rahkeem Smith's kickoff return and the late blocked field goal closed the game. The free challenge on the old -6.5 board is closed from the real final.
FanDuel still has Team USA -400, Internationals +350, and a tie +1000 for the Presidents Cup at Medinah from September 24-27. Kalshi's last verified print before Tuesday's picks was USA 81 percent, Team World 18 percent, and a tie 4 percent. Brandt Snedeker set four-ball for Thursday. Jackson Koivun is on the U.S. team three months after Auburn; there is no posted Koivun session price, so the four-ball-point board is a yes-or-no until a book prints one. Tape the 3M Open win, not another roster d
Kickoff is Patriots at Seahawks on Wednesday, Sep 9, 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC, Peacock, and NFL+, the first Wednesday opener since 2012. The calendar leaves Thursday free for Netflix's 49ers-Rams at the MCG at 8:35 p.m. ET Sep 10, 10:35 a.m. AEST Friday. Noah Eagle has play-by-play. Luke Kuechly is in the booth for the first time as an analyst. Elle Duncan runs studio with Michael Irvin, Nick Foles, and Clay Matthews. The Jonas Brothers are the MCG halftime, the first of seven American Express intern
On Sep 3, 2025, Pablo Torre Finds Out published 3,487 pages of Aspiration documents. The timeline starts with Leonard's Aug 12, 2021 four-year, $176.3 million Clippers max extension. Steve Ballmer's personal LLC wired $50 million into Aspiration on Sep 14. The Clippers announced a 23-year, $300 million Aspiration founding-partner deal on Sep 27. KL2 Aspire LLC was registered Nov 22. A four-year, $28 million endorsement took effect Apr 1, 2022. The contract gave Leonard exclusive control of conte
Brandt Snedeker named 21-year-old Jackson Koivun a captain's pick for the Presidents Cup at Medinah, Sep 24-27, three months after Auburn. Koivun is 48th on the U.S. points list and 66th in the world. Ben Griffin, 8th in points, and J.J. Spaun, 10th, were left home. Snedeker said he had a gut feeling about the kid and that it is not fair. Koivun won the 3M Open on July 26 at 25-under 259, three shots ahead of Scottie Scheffler, in his third start as a pro. He spent 56 weeks at No. 1 in the World
Pat McAfee amplified Ryan Paganetti's tape study: when opposing kickers lined up at Gillette, the video board showed a reverse view with a second, offset set of yellow uprights. Paganetti said he found dozens of examples and that the illusion appeared on Patriots kicks zero times across 52 reviewed Patriot field-goal attempts. Those counts are his review, not a league finding.
The NBA penalized the Clippers for salary-cap circumvention around Kawhi Leonard after a Wachtell Lipton investigation. The league said the team forfeits first-round picks in 2029 through 2033 and is fined $30 million. Steve Ballmer and Gillian Zucker are each suspended one year, Lawrence Frank six months without pay, Leonard owes $700,000, and Dennis Robertson is banned from NBA business for five years. The Clippers reject the findings. The NBA and NBPA called the penalties final.
Golf Digest put the 24-man Medinah field on the board after both captains used their last six picks on September 1. The U.S. side runs Scheffler through Koivun. The Internationals run Si Woo Kim through Bezuidenhout. Matches are September 24-27. This is the full field, not this morning's Malbon call-up clip.
Golf Digest posted the 24 players headed to Medinah. Captain Brandt Snedeker and International captain Geoff Ogilvy finalized six picks apiece on September 1, joining six automatic qualifiers on each side. Matches are September 24-27 at Medinah Country Club. This is a field page, not a restack of this morning's Malbon/Koivun item.
Tiger Woods walked out of a Martin County courtroom without a license for five years. Golf Digest flagged the plea in the DUI case from his crash earlier this year. The charge was reduced, the no-contest plea stuck, and the judge said there are no exceptions. This is a legal outcome, not a tournament result, and the tweet is not a full docket recap.
