Cowboys’ Ongoing Struggles Linked to One Jerry Jones Habit He Can’t Shake

Image
The Dallas Cowboys sit at 1-2 after a narrow 34-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro. This start falls well behind the expectations owner Jerry Jones had for the season, putting his management of the franchise under heavy scrutiny. The retooled defense entered the year with high hopes, but they currently rank 30th in the NFL, per Fox Sports . With Dallas seemingly facing another struggling season, Colin Cowherd accused the owner of failing to show enough respect to his coaching staff. Colin Cowherd fires back after Jerry Jones calls out Cowboys coaching Dallas tied the game on a short Brandon Aubrey field goal with only seven seconds left. But Baltimore answered immediately. Lamar Jackson completed a quick 27-yard pass to set up a game-winning 56-yard field goal by Tyler Loop as time expired.

4-star PF Ian Condon commits to Florida

Image
Four-star power forward Ian Condon has committed to Florida , he told Rivals. The 6-foot-7 senior out of Sidwell Friends School (DC) chose the Gators after visiting Georgia Tech, Boston College, and NC State. He also received offers from Syracuse, Northwestern, Stanford, Notre Dame, and more. Condon is ranked as the No. 76 overall recruit in the 2027 class and the No. 10 ranked power forward, according to Rivals’ Top-150 Player Rankings . He becomes Todd Golden’s first commitment this cycle. Condon on his commitment to Florida Ian Condon discussed his decision to choose the Gators with Rivals. “I decided to commit to Florida because they are a high level program with a winning culture.

This is diabolical': Cam Ward's sister forced to issue statement on harassment and threats to Titans QB

This is diabolical': Cam Ward's sister forced to issue statement on harassment and threats to Titans QB originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . Now through 20 career games, Cam Ward has flashed plenty of talent for the Titans , though Tennessee's rebuild remains a clear work in progress. With the Titans still winless after a loss to the Giants in Week 3, there remain close eyes on Ward's development as the 2025 No. 1 pick. Following an up-and-down rookie season, Ward nearly led the Titans to a Week 2 upset against the Eagles , but now has a 3-17 record in his young NFL career. After Tennessee's most recent defeat, however, Ward's sister released a statement to social media, opening up about recent harassment the Ward family has faced from fans. Here's what Ward's sister said about the "diabolical" threats toward the Titans quarterback's family. MORE:  J.J. M...

Brian Windhorst skeptical OKC ownership will pay to keep Thunder together

Image
In his 90-minute 2026-27 preseason press conference, Sam Presti addressed the impending cloud that will hang over the Oklahoma City Thunder . As several core pieces embark on their second NBA contract, will Clay Bennett and the rest of the ownership group fork over the money to field a title contender? Remains to be seen. Presti is optimistic, but he left himself some wiggle room in case the Thunder don't. Thanks to some savvy cap-space trickery by moving on from three longtime role players, OKC was able to kick the can down the road on a dreadful second-apron year. Right now, the Thunder are $6.9 million below the second apron. All it cost was moving on from Lu Dort, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins — a quarter of OKC's rotation minutes, as Presti pointed out multiple times. Now, with a roster spot to spare, they'll enter the 2026-27 season as co-title favorites. Zooming out, though, what about beyond that? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams are about to...

Sam Presti has interesting theory on polarizing 3-2-1 NBA draft lottery odds

Image
One of the more radical changes in recent NBA history will be implemented in the upcoming 2026-27 regular season. To fight off the self-proclaimed tanking epidemic, Adam Silver and the Board of Governors have completely shaken up the usual NBA draft lottery odds formula. Now, there's really zero incentive to bottom out. In fact, it's the opposite. The draft lottery will expand from 14 to 16 teams. The seven best teams that do not qualify for the postseason will receive three lottery balls. The bottom three teams in the standings will only get two lottery balls. The No. 9-10 play-in tournament teams will get two lottery balls apiece. And the No. 7 vs. No. 8 seed play-in tournament game losers will get three lottery balls apiece. Got all that? It can be a bit confusing to properly understand, but the gist of it is the worse your record is, the fewer lottery balls you'll receive. And teams will now have even more incentive to advance in the play-in tournament. Either they clin...

News May Change Everything for Red Wings

Image
IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect A couple of Friday news reports have the potential to alter what the Detroit Red Wings lineup may look like next Friday on opening night. First, hockey insider Elliotte Friedman reported that Dylan Larkin has expanded his list of acceptable trade destinations to eight teams and Tampa Bay, Washington, Colorado and Dallas are presumed to be on the list. Florida, Vegas and Minnesota were the three original teams. Friedman also said on his podcast that there are no Canadian teams on Larkin’s new list. If only Larkin’s original list was in place, there appeared to be no real opportunity to get anything done in the near future. The new list creates the possibility of getting a deal done quickly. Larkin is the team’s only productive offensive center and the Red Wings have made it clear they must receive players who can help the team immediately to fullfil Larkin’s trade request. Meanwhile, coach Todd McLellan confirmed that Larkin won’t play the team’s final p...

Case Keenum moves closer to start vs. Eagles as Bears QBs miss practice

The Philadelphia Eagles are another day closer to preparing for Case Keenum as Chicago’s starting quarterback on Monday night. Caleb Williams, dealing with a hamstring injury, and backup Tyson Bagent, who is in concussion protocol, were both listed as not practicing Friday on the Bears’ injury report . Neither participated Thursday, either, although Chicago’s Thursday designations were estimates because the team did not practice that day. The Bears have not ruled out either quarterback. Coach Ben Johnson previously described Williams’ injury as week-to-week, and Bagent must clear concussion protocol before he can play. If neither is available against Philadelphia, Keenum would be next in line. The 14-year veteran has made 66 NFL starts, but has not appeared in a regular-season game since 2023. #Bears Injury Report pic.twitter.com/9YzmYdYkK2 — Bears Communications (@BearsPR) September 25, 2026 A quarterback change would affect how the Eagles prepare, particularly against a Chicago o...

Packers Coach Makes Head-Scratching OL Comments Before Falcons Game

Image
Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich. Getty The Green Bay Packers have decisions to make about their starting offensive line before kicking off Thursday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons, but their logic isn’t any easier to follow after their offensive coordinator’s latest comments. The Packers have been forced to adapt at left guard over the first two weeks of the season with veteran starter Aaron Banks on the mend with knee and toe injuries, but the real-scratcher has been them starting Donovan Jennings over rookie Jager Burton. Jennings took snaps with the first-team offense toward the end of training camp, but Burton — a 2026 fifth-round pick — had rotated in with the starters throughout the summer, raising questions when Jennings started over him in the season opener. Those questions only grew louder when Jennings struggled in the opener and finally reached fever pitch in Week 2 when Jennings went out with an injury and Burton replaced him at left guard,...

Raiders film room: The Cody White game-sealing touchdown

Image
(Photo by Jeff Antenore/MediaNews Group/Orange County Register via Getty Images) | MediaNews Group via Getty Images The Las Vegas Raiders pulled off a road win, their first at SoFi Stadium. The team was touchdown underdogs, went into Los Angeles, and beat the Chargers 26-14. After Nakobe Dean caused a fumble, the Raiders were in position to close out the football game. After two run plays in a row, Klint Kubiak faced a third-and-five. He went for the gut and threw a game-sealing touchdown pass to Cody White from 11 yards out. The setup for this play came in Week 1 vs. the Miami Dolphins. On a third-and-three, the Raiders got a seven-yard run from Ashton Jeanty out of the same look. Michael Mayer goes in motion, and after the snap, Ian Thomas pulls to lead-block for Jeanty. Fast forward to Sunday against the Chargers, and the Raiders are back in the red zone, and it’s third down once again. They line up in the same formation that they did against the Dolphins. This time, though, Maye...

(Photo by Ross Harried/NurPhoto via Getty Images) | NurPhoto via Getty Images The Wisconsin Badgers are coming off a 54-10 blowout win over the Eastern Michigan Eagles, placing them at 2-1 heading into Big Ten play. It was a dominant performance from the Badgers on all fronts, as they executed well offensively after a slow start, accumulating nearly 500 yards, as Colton Joseph had four touchdowns. Defensively, they bottled up after an early touchdown, allowing just three points the rest of the way while forcing three turnovers. Even the special teams unit continued to impress as Wisconsin easily got the win. Now, the Badgers are facing the No. 13 Penn State Nittany Lions in Week 4, marking one of, if not the, biggest challenges of their season. Wisconsin will ...

Bears' offense evaporates, Caleb Williams injured late in loss to Vikings

The Chicago Bears' season took a dramatic and dark turn in Week 2. Following a 59-point outing in Week 1, the Bears came crashing down in their Week 2 loss, 9-3 to the Vikings , as QB Caleb Williams suffered a non-contact right hamstring injury in the fourth quarter. Williams, who had struggled most of the day, started to run on a 4th-and-goal play but went down without being touched and later was carted off the field. Tyson Bagent replaced Williams and couldn't convert on second or third down. Cairo Santos' game-tying 23-yard field-goal attempt was then blocked. The Vikings drained more than minutes of clock and tacked on the extra cushion with Will Reichard's third field goal of the game. Last week, the Bears and Vikings combined for 98 points. This week on a rainy, sloppy Soldier Field: four field goals. The Vikings are now 2-0, led by their ferocious defense. Minnesota blitzed Caleb Williams relentlessly early, creating havoc for the Bears' offense. Carson Wentz...

Rutgers football news: Scarlet Knights get massive Lonergan injury update for USC game

Butch Dill-Imagn Images Rutgers football news: Scarlet Knights get massive Lonergan injury update for USC game appeared first on ClutchPoints . Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Rutgers football program entered the early part of the 2026 season seeking answers after suffering back-to-back non-conference losses. This challenging start was exacerbated by poor offensive performances and an undisclosed injury to starting quarterback Dylan Lonergan . He injured himself late in the Week 1 upset against UMass and missed the subsequent loss to Boston College, during which AJ Surace filled in as quarterback. As the Scarlet Knights prepared to kick off their Big Ten season against the 12th-ranked USC Trojans, speculation about who would lead the offense was rampant. In a timely update just before kickoff, insider Pete Nakos reported on X that Lonergan has been cleared to return from his injury and will start against No. 12 USC, according to sources.

Raiders expected to start rookie at cornerback Week 2 vs Chargers

The Raiders will be without starting left cornerback Darien Porter with a foot injury as they head to Los Angeles to face the Chargers this week. The second-year corner suffered a foot injury in the team's season opener against the Dolphins and after missing all week of practices, head coach Klint Kubiak announced Porter will be ruled OUT. Kubiak brought up the two rookie cornerbacks Jermod McCoy and Hezekiah Masses as being the two options to replace Porter in his starting role. He would not name a starter, saying only that "We'll see" which will get the nod. It was the sixth rounder Masses who came into the game late against the Dolphins when Porter suffered the injury. McCoy was selected at the top of the fourth round, but has been eased along due to having not played in a game since late in the 2024 season. His long term prospects are high, but the Raiders want to make sure he is ready before putting him in. Either way, the Raiders are expected to have a rookie ...

Brent Burns' new hair cut makes him look normal and we hate it

Long-time NHL veteran Brent Burns is a hockey fan favorite for multiple reasons, but one stands out among the rest as to why he's so beloved: his beard. Hockey players are no stranger to beards around playoff time, but one of Burns' lasting legacies in hockey outside of his play is his majestic mountain man beard. Ahead of the 2026-27 season, however, Burns has committed to a new look and it is so incredibly jarring. On Wednesday during a session with the media, DNVR reporter Bailey Curtis posted a photo of Burns sporting a fresh hair cut ahead of Colorado Avalanche training camp. In the photo, Burns' iconic full beard is gone and instead, the 41-year-old defenseman now has a closer shaved beard and a fresh hair cut on top that makes him look 10 years younger and nearly unrecognizable.

Fernando Alonso Calls Out ‘Very Bad’ Honda Engine After Madrid Struggles

Fernando Alonso says the Honda power unit in the F1 Spanish GP was very bad, and it couldn’t recover due to the slowing he had to do for blue flags. On the weekend where his future was a hot topic, Aston Martin ’s Alonso noted that the Honda power unit was very bad during the F1 Spanish GP race at Madring. He felt it couldn’t recover from all the slowing that he had to do under blue flags. Honda brought its first update under ADUO in Zandvoort, and since then they have been chipping along with a few bits. However, they haven’t made a drastic step on the performance side, as they are still behind in the pecking order, while highlighting that the chassis is a solid midfield runner. With FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem hinting at helping Aston Martin and Honda for Alonso to stay, the F1 Spanish GP comments don’t help the cause. The Japanese manufacturer recently announced a shuffle in its power unit management in the hope of quicker success. Alonso Says Honda Engine Was Very Bad in ...

England legend rips into “pathetic” Bruno Fernandes after Manchester derby incident

Image
England legend rips into “pathetic” Bruno Fernandes after Manchester derby incident 1 Former Premier League striker Alan Shearer didn’t mince his words as he slammed Bruno Fernandes for his role in Phil Foden’s sending-off. Heated moment Foden was given his marching orders by referee Michael Oliver in the 23rd minute after he was judged to have kicked out at Fernandes. The United skipper floored Foden and provoked a kick in return, with Fernandes then writhing on the ground. Foden and his City teammates passionately protested but it fell on deaf ears. It didn’t matter too much at the end for City as they scored a controversial goal in the 60th minute to condemn Michael Carrick and his players to a second loss of the 2026/27 Premier League season. VAR intervened to ratify Erling Haaland’s strike despite clear evidence that Enzo Fernandez, who was in an offside position, had made an attempt to head the ball. Speaking after the final whistle, City boss Enzo Maresca admitted that Foden...

'Unacceptable' – Utd's Martínez hits out at VAR call on Haaland goal

(is associated with: «'Unacceptable' – Utd's Martínez hits out at VAR call on Haaland goal») Peter Byrne/PA Wire/dpa Manchester United defender Lisandro Martínez described the decision to allow Manchester City’s derby-day winner as “unacceptable.” Erling Haaland’s strike on the hour mark was initially disallowed for offside, only for a VAR check to overturn the on-field decision. The Premier League Match Centre said the VAR “determined that Haaland was in an onside position” and deemed that “while in an offside position, (Enzo) Fernandez didn’t play the ball.” Enzo Maresca’s City, who were at a numerical disadvantage from the 23rd minute when Phil Foden was sent off for kicking out at Bruno Fernandes, held on to take all three points away from Old Trafford with...

Razaullah introduces himself as Pakistan thrive in chaos

Image
Cancel the tee booked at the Belfry, rearrange the trip to Cadbury World and abort the shopping jolly to the Bullring. The reason? Pakistan debutant Razaullah and 'Razball'. England's bowlers were thwarted by a Pakistan side who mixed batting belligerence with brilliance and instead of a Saturday off must reconvene at Edgbaston for day four. The brilliance was provided by Razaullah, who produced a dizzying knock to breathe life into the third Test and lift the spirits of Pakistan supporters everywhere. A new hero, a new hope. Bazball might be on its way out, but has Birmingham might just witnessed the birth of new phenomenon during two hours of unbridled chaos during which he made a stunning 81 off 63 balls coming in at number nine. A raw 21-year-old with just eight first-class matches to his name, better known as a tearaway fast bowler reminiscent of Waqar Younis, was probably not a name on the radar of England's bowlers when he was called up amid wholesale changes mad...

"A few things had built up inside me" - Ermedin Demirovic makes admission after Stuttgart hat-trick

"A few things had built up inside me" - Ermedin Demirovic makes admission after Stuttgart hat-trick Ermedin Demirovic admitted that “a few things had built up” inside him after producing a stunning first-half hat-trick in VfB Stuttgart’s Champions League opener against Viking FK. The Bosnia international struck three times in just 12 minutes as Sebastian Hoeness’ side secured a 3-1 victory at the MHPArena on Wednesday evening, with his goals arriving in the 20th, 26th and 32nd minutes It capped off an eventful few weeks for Demirovic, whose future had been the subject of considerable speculation towards the end of the summer transfer window. Galatasaray pushed to sign the 28-year-old and reportedly made an offer worth up to €20 million including bonuses, before Demirovic ultimately decided to remain in Stuttgart. Speaking to DAZN after being named Man of the Match against Viking, Demirovic was asked about pundit Nils Petersen’s suggestion that he often produces his best footb...

Napoli boss Allegri offers high praise of ‘extraordinary’ Arteta ahead of meeting with Arsenal Napoli boss Massimiliano Allegri believes Mikel Arteta has done an “extraordinary job” as Arsenal manager. After the devastation of losing out on penalties to PSG in last season’s final, the Gunners have an even stronger desire to win the competition for the first time in their history. Arteta will hope to get off to a winning start against Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Allegri praised what the Spanish coach has achieved so far with the north London club. “I think Arteta has done an extraordinary job in the last four years,” Allegri told the press. “He quickly brought a balance to the squad. They are very good on the ball, but just as good when they have to defend. He has instilled a great team mentality. “We know we are facing the Premier League champions and a team who reached the Champions League Final last season. “Every match starts at 0-0.

Do the New York Giants have a path to 8-plus wins in 2026?

Will the New York Giants exceed their over/under win total for next season? A panel of CBS Sports analysts issued a lean prediction that the Giants will finish over 7.5 wins in 2026, based on DraftKings Sportsbook’s over/under for the season. Lean: Over 7.5 (-110).  New York is a possible breakout team in 2026 with Jaxson Dart entering Year 2 and John Harbaugh now installed as head coach. Dart flashed his potential as a rookie (albeit with some reckless play as a runner), and if that can be honed in a bit under Harbaugh, there's a lot to like about the Giants. Malik Nabers is back as a true No. 1 weapon in the offense, and the defense boasts a slew of stud pass rushers, including Brian Burns. Their division isn't for the faint of heart, but they have the talent to put together eight wins.  The Giants do not have many favorable matchups. The Arizona Cardinals , New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns are the only three teams New York can confidently be expected to beat. The T...

Rams Reacts: Aaron Donald’s return benefits young defensive line most

Los Angeles Rams fans expect Aaron Donald’s return to benefit young defensive lineman like Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske more than any other aspect of the team. Despite everything being to be determined, the expectation going into 2026 is regardless of however many snaps Donald gives, he’ll excel as he always did. With AD getting spelled by Braden Fiske, Kobie Turner, Poona Ford and more, each player may be able to thrive off of the other. This defensive line unit should be an immensely talented and versatile group with little to no drop-off when players sub in and out for one another. That’s L.A.‘s hope. Consider that every player on the Rams once again gets to learn and see how Donald move...

Duke's top prospect makes Jon Scheyer jealous with his explosiveness

As a former point guard himself, Duke head coach Jon Scheyer has a lot to offer young prospects at the position, building great relationships with his players over time, current Blue Devils point guard Caleb Foster being a great example. That said, Duke will usher in a new top point guard prospect for the 2026-27 college basketball season, Deron Rippey Jr. Rippey Jr., a two-time Gatorade New Jersey Boys Basketball Player of the Year award winner, has turned heads all summer due to his incredible athleticism at the position. When speaking at the Durham Sports Club, Scheyer offered a similar sentiment. "Probably the most explosive player at that position that I’ve coached," he said. "He’s 6'2", but when he jumps, he’s looking down at the rim. Makes me jealous." While Rippey Jr. is unlikely to start right away, his development and athleticism coming off the bench further solidify how deep Scheyer's squad is ahead of the 2026-27 season. Contact/Follow us...
