Dylan Larkin heard the boos. Then he gave Detroit Red Wings fans something to cheer about.
After being booed whenever he touched the puck early in his 2026-27 season debut Tuesday night, Larkin responded in the best way possible — he scored. The former Red Wings captain buried his first goal of the season against the Ottawa Senators, giving Detroit its first lead of the young campaign in the process.
It was quite a turnaround. Only minutes earlier, Larkin’s first shift had been accompanied by boos from the fans inside Little Caesars Arena.

PORTSMOUTH — Ty Buchanan shot a 1-under-par 35 as the Dover High School golf team placed second in a four-team Division I match at Pease Golf on Tuesday, Oct. 6.
Pinkerton Academy and Dover both shot team scores of 199, but Pinkerton won the tiebreaker. Nashua North shot a 215, and Nashua South a 216.

Houston Texans wider receiver Braxton Berrios Influencer Alix Earle on the Kentucky Derby red carpet. May 03, 2025
Braxton Berrios is perhaps best known for his tie to prominent social media influencer Alix Earle. The two dated for more than two years before splitting in December 2025, and their story played out again this fall in Earle’s Netflix series.
Now Berrios is making headlines for a tougher reason as the New York Giants return specialist announced on Instagram that he’ll undergo season-ending surgery on his foot and ankle.

DETROIT – The night began with loud boos directed at Dylan Larkin, but as evening wore on there were a lot fewer.
Funny how that happens, after a player scores a goal, assists on another, and started a melee to end a period.
Quite a season debut for Larkin Tuesday, October 6, leading the Wings to a 5-3 victory over Ottawa. The victory ended a season-opening two-game losing streak for a team that looked much more inspired with their former captain in the lineup.

Of course it wasn’t entirely easy.

Lionel Messi enters the to warm-up ahead of his final international for Argentina (Luis ROBAYO)
Lionel Messi brought the curtain down on his 21-year international career on Tuesday, bidding farewell to adoring Argentina fans in an emotional final appearance for the former world champions in Buenos Aires.
In a perfectly scripted finale, the 39-year-old widely regarded as the greatest football player in history signed off with his 126th international goal in front of 85,000 supporters as Argentina cruised to a 3-0 victory over Benin.

The San Diego Padres are one game away from elimination, down 2-0 to the Milwaukee Brewers.
MLB approved a roster change for San Diego as closer Mason Miller is going on the paternity list and will not be available Tuesday night for the team’s possible final game of the year.
The Padres replaced Miller with Wandy Peralta.

The Green Bay Packers worked out an interesting group of four players on Tuesday. According to league’s transaction wire, the following four players were in Green Bay for a tryout: linebacker Deion Jones, linebacker Chris Paul, cornerback Cobee Bryant and cornerback Dwight McGlothern.
Why linebackers and cornerbacks? Starting linebacker Edgerrin Cooper just went on injured reserve, forcing the Packers to sign Kristian Welch from the practice squad. Starting linebacker Brandon Cisse suffered a neck injury in Tampa Bay and has uncertain availability.

Alabama and Georgia are closely monitoring a potential tropical storm that could impact their top-10 ranked matchup on Saturday, Oct. 10.
The No. 7 Crimson Tide host the No. 2 Bulldogs in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in a matchup between two of college football’s most-dominant programs in recent memory. There are currently no plans to change the 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff for the game, although the severity of the storm, which would be named Tropical Storm Isaias, could change that in the coming days.

Alabama said Tuesday evening that its game against Georgia was set to proceed as scheduled.
For the moment.
As a weather system in the Gulf of Mexico is virtually certain to become Tropical Storm Isaias and maybe even a hurricane in the coming days. The track of the storm is currently aimed east of Texas and potentially towards the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and Alabama with potential landfall later in the week.
That means the No. 6 Crimson Tide’s home game in Tuscaloosa against the No. 2 Bulldogs on Saturday could be plagued by lots and lots of rain.

TE Devin Culp
TE Rivaldo Fairweather
TE Joshua Simon
LB Cade Denhoff
LB Dasan McCullough
CB Jalen Kimber

It’s officially Week 6 for Ohio State as it looks to build on a high-quality win over Big Ten foe Iowa last week when it welcomes Maryland to Columbus this Saturday.
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day met with the media on Tuesday for his weekly game-week presser to preview the Buckeyes‘ matchup with the Terps and give his final takeaways from the win against the Hawkeyes. The Ohio State head coach discussed numerous topics ahead of the Buckeyes‘ Week 6 game.
Here’s a look at some of the standout notes and quotes he had.

The Los Angeles Dodgers strike first.
LA broke the seal with two home runs in the top fourth inning against the Atlanta Braves in Game 3 of the National League Division Series at Truist Park in Atlanta.
Enrique Hernández had the honors and sparked a jolt in the Dodgers dugout with his 17th career postseason homer.
Hernández took Chris Sale’s 86 mph changeup back 406 feet to the bleachers for a two-run home run that brought home Andy Pages to give the Dodgers a 2-0 lead.

The UCF Knights were minutes away from its biggest football win in a long time, leading by three possession at No. 20 Houston.
Alas, the Knights (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) could not thwart the Cougars’ comeback and UCF’s seasons-long road losing skid continued. They will look to snap it on Oct. 11 when they visit Oklahoma State (3-1, 1-0) for and second-straight morning kickoff in the Central time zone.
Keyone Jenkins continues to fill in at quarterback for UCF with Alonza Barnett nursing a hamstring injury.

Oct. 6—PLATTE, S.D. — When Landon Keiser made the decision to leave Gregory for his final high school football season, he knew exactly what he was looking for.
A fresh start. A chance to be a focal point. And, most importantly, an opportunity to chase a state championship.
“I’ve always dreamed of competing for a state championship, and I just wanted to give myself the best possible chance to do that,” Keiser said of his decision to transfer from Gregory to Platte-Geddes.

Diego Lopes feels like his next UFC fight is tailor made for him.
Lopes (28-8 MMA, 7-3 UFC) has been booked to fight for the BMF title against champion Charles Oliveira (37-11 MMA, 25-11 UFC) in the main event of UFC 335. The event place on Dec. 12 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (Paramount+).

2 radical changes Cubs must make this offseason after brutal playoff loss appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
TheChicago Cubs looked like the best team in Major League Baseball on several occasions during the 2026 regular season. Unfortunately for manager Craig Counsell and president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer, they were unable to sustain their success and finished well behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the race for the National League Central title.

LSU football head coach Lane Kiffin met with the media on Monday and provided an injury update on star LSU tight end Trey’Dez Green. The LSU pass catcher injured his knee at Ole Miss in Week 3 and missed LSU’s last two games.
Kiffin said Green is no longer wearing a brace and is “getting closer.” However, there’s no clear timetable for Green’s return.
“If there’s anybody that could come back sooner than maybe people thought, it would be him,” Kiffin said.

Despite its immense popularity, the NFL has never coined a statistic to rival baseball’s wins above replacement (WAR) metric.
No one number tells a fan how valuable their team’s roster member is, and certain positions in the NFL are far more difficult to quantify than others.
At the line of scrimmage, and particularly among offensive linemen and defensive tackles, basic football accounting barely scratches the surface of explaining a player’s impact.
But for years, one split has defined Lane Johnson: the Eagles’ record with vs. without him.

Bryson DeChambeau, a name that usually commands respect on any course, found himself on the losing end of a surprising challenge. A nine-hole scramble filmed at Coyote Ridge Golf Club in Carrollton, Texas featured the two-time U.S. Open champion partnering with Martin Borgmeier.
They faced off against five high school students from Walnut Grove High School. The result shocked many golf fans who expected the professionals to dominate. Instead, the students took the win by a significant margin.

Friday night football is set to get a whole lot better for Dunwoody (GA) High School.
After a year-long fundraising effort that brought in $1.5 million through the “Bring It Home” campaign – along with an unspecified donation of more than $1 million from Dunwoody alum and television host Ryan Seacrest – the Wildcats will officially have a football stadium of their own beginning with the 2027 football season.

New details are emerging about what a potential Chicago Bears stadium deal could look like as lawmakers continue negotiations on legislation aimed at keeping the team in Illinois.
The latest proposal centers on creating a stadium authority that would own a new facility in Arlington Heights, while the Bears would pay to build it on land the team already owns in the northwest suburb. Some experts say the structure mirrors common arrangements across professional sports and could give lawmakers a viable path forward.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The winless Philadelphia Flyers have signed gritty winger Michael Bunting in the hopes that he can give them a spark following some alarming early season struggles.
General manager Daniel Briere announced the agreement Tuesday in the aftermath of a 4-1 loss at Tampa Bay on Monday night. Bunting’s contract is worth a prorated $1.2 million after he went unsigned over the summer as an unrestricted free agent.
It was not immediately clear how soon the 31-year-old would be able to join the team. Philadelphia next plays at Ottawa on Thursday night.

The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Chargers produced a start to their game in Week 4 that has not been seen in decades.
According to ESPN and the Elias Sports Bureau, the Week 4 matchup between Seattle and Los Angeles was the first time that two interceptions were thrown on the first two plays of the game since at least 1978.
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert opened the game by throwing an interception into the hands of Seahawks linebacker Drake Thomas. Herbert’s pick handed Seattle its first drive quickly in the first quarter.

Well, it looks like Joe Mixon won’t be returning to the NFL after all.
After undergoing a team physical on Tuesday morning, the Seattle Seahawks have elected not to sign the former Houston Texans Pro Bowl running back to their practice squad.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the team only planned to sign Mixon if it was contingent on passing the team’s physical. Mixon did not play at all in 2025 due to a foot injury.
Mixon, 30, was released in March by the Texans after spending the entire season on their non-football injury list.

We’ve reached the halfway point of the 2026 UIL high school football season. Several teams are living up to their preseason hype, while some other teams – and players – have been a surprise.

Lane Johnson’s retirement strips the Philadelphia Eagles of their most dependable blocker four games into a season in which the offense already leads the NFL with 15 three-and-out drives, and the move lowers the outlook for every Philadelphia fantasy starter.
The 36-year-old right tackle announced Tuesday that he’s stepping away after 14 seasons, two days removed from a late scratch for personal reasons. “Right now, it is critical that I focus on my mental health,” Johnson wrote in his statement.
