Dax Hardwood and Cash Wheeler are iconoclasts in an industry that favors ceaseless innovation and athletic one-upmanship. Better known by their collective name, FTR, the three-time AEW Teag Team Champions are trying to win their fourth reign with the belts at All Out on Saturday, when they step in the ring with Cope and Cage, and The Young Bucks in a three-way ladder match. I sat down with FTR before their title challenge to talk about what tag team wrestling means to them, their personal Mt.

The designated successor to Oliver Glasner on the Crystal Palace bench, Pierre Sage has faced a few difficulties at the start of his English adventure.

The Tigers enter Week 4 at 2-1 overall and 1-0 in ACC play after finding a way to escape North Carolina with a 28-20 victory.

“I agree” – Alexander Isak responds to Andoni Iraola demands
Alexander Isak responds to Andoni Iraola’s call for more at Liverpool
Alexander Isak has accepted Andoni Iraola’s call for greater involvement in Liverpool’s attacking play, despite a productive start to the season in front of goal.
Four goals and one assist in seven appearances have given the striker an encouraging platform after a difficult previous campaign. Yet his response to the Liverpool head coach suggests he sees those numbers as only part of the assessment.
The Green Bay Packers narrowly escaped an embarrassing loss to the New York Jets in Week 2. They managed to double down on their ineptitude during Thursday Night Football, and this time it ended far differently.
Bijan Robinson and the Atlanta Falcons, who didn’t even reach the red zone over their first two games, pummeled the Packers 35-14 at Lambeau Field. The former Texas star rushed for 194 yards and two touchdowns, with his backfield mate Brian Robinson adding 50 yards and a score. Drake London also exploded for 194 yards on nine catches, excelling with Michael Penix Jr.

The Falcons entered Lambeau Field as underdogs on Thursday night. They left with a 35-14 victory over the Packers, powered by offense, defense, and Penix Jr.’s return. Packers fans booed loudly, which stood out as icing on the cake. Another bright spot is that Atlanta may have found their next great duo.
Michael Penix Jr. Shakes Off Rough Start in Season Debut
Penix was making his season debut after recovering from a torn ACL, taking the field for the first time since November 2025.
Real Madrid have concerns about key defender’s physical state after several injury setbacks
Among all the current stars in the Real Madrid squad, Eder Militao has been by far the most unfortunate when it comes to injuries.
The Brazilian missed the World Cup due to a muscle injury he picked up in April and has yet to feature in a single minute of action so far in this new season.
The centre-back is trying to get back to the pitch as soon as possible, but given the severity of the injury, it could still take some time.

How the Cowboys turned a slow start into a championship season
Jerry Jones pointed to the 1993 Cowboys after Dallas opened 2026 with a 28-20 loss to the Giants. That team lost its first 2 games while star running back Emmitt Smith was absent during a contract dispute. Smith returned, and Dallas finished 12-4 before winning Super Bowl XXVIII. r
The current Cowboys have already taken a different path: they beat Washington 37-20 in Week 2 to reach 1-1.
For the first time in 11 years, Novak Djokovic will appear at the China Open in Beijing, as he aims to rebound from his disappointing US Open campaign.

UNCASVILLE – The Connecticut Sun were winners Thursday night, stepping into extinction with a 95-81 victory over the Toronto Tempo at Mohegan Sun Arena.
The Sun were losers quite a bit over their final two years in Uncasville.
The Sun were … well, they just were. The team is past tense, for our purposes.

SOUTHBURY – Look at Pomperaug football rosters over the past couple of seasons and you’ll see a last name long associated with success at Daniel Hand.
Jack Guinipero is a senior captain and running back, or A-back in flexbone parlance, on this year’s Pomperaug team.
Tragedy stuck the Pittsburgh Penguins organization this week, with news that the father of forward Andrei Kuzmenko was killed in a bear attack while on a fishing trip in Siberia.
Kuzmenko’s father, a well-renowned hockey coach in Russia, was just 62 years old.
The 30-year-old Kuzmenko is entering his fifth year in the NHL since joining in 2022 with the Vancouver Canucks. He signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Penguins on July 1, 2026.

History often repeats itself on the field, but the script flips every few decades. Thirty years ago, a young Cuban pitcher walked into Pro Player Stadium and broke the Atlanta Braves’ spirit in a single afternoon. That day, Liván Hernández made his major league debut and helped the Miami Marlins crush the defending champions. Now, the tables have turned again as the Braves welcome back their own ace reliever, Robert Suarez, just in time for the final stretch. The contrast between these two moments defines the fragile nature of baseball dominance.
Veteran tight end Zach Ertz has returned to Philadelphia for his second stint with the Eagles, and he says he never wanted to leave.
Ertz, who was drafted by the Eagles in 2013 and traded to the Cardinals in 2021, said he never knew if the Eagles would welcome him back, but always hoped they would.
“There was never a plan to come back,” Ertz said. “I never wanted to leave in the first place, so let’s just put that out there. The opportunity finally arose where I could come back.

Before embarking on his illustrious NFL career, Peyton Manning built a legacy in the SEC as Tennessee football‘s quarterback, turning Saturdays in Knoxville into a weekly showcase of touchdown passes.
Now, another Manning is set to take the stage at Neyland Stadium: his nephew, Texas quarterback Arch Manning.

The 2026-27 preseason is here. For NBA stars it’s just a process to get in shape for the long season ahead, but for many other players it’s a big opportunity to lock down a spot in the league. Here are the players on a non-guaranteed contract, a two-way deal or simply a training camp invite who will be battling for survival over the coming weeks.

Kai Havertz Injury Concern Grows After Germany Setback Ahead of Arsenal Return
Arsenal have a problem to monitor, and it centres on Kai Havertz. The forward went off after 30 minutes during Germany’s Nations League draw with the Netherlands, and the early signs point to a hamstring issue.
Havertz was caught by a high challenge from Quinten Timber and could not continue. For Arsenal, that is the part that matters. Timing matters too.

Jose Mourinho reveals why he chose to return to Real Madrid: ‘Didn’t have the best results’
After a couple of trophyless seasons at Real Madrid, Florentino Perez had to make an important decision in the summer about how to take the club forward.
He turned to a familiar face in Jose Mourinho, who was at Benfica, and the Portuguese manager has had a mixed start to life back at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Israel footballer Sayed Abu Farchi was sent off for his goal-scoring celebration when he used the corner flag to simulate a gun after equalizing against Austria in their UEFA Nations League late on Thursday.
The forward’s goal levelled the match 1-1 early in the second half at Raiffeisen Arena in Linz, Austria, his 55th minute header cancelling out Romano Schmid’s first-half penalty.
The 20-year-old then jogged to the corner, pulled out the corner flag, dropped his right knee to the grass and rested the pole on the back of his left hand before making a firing gesture.
Real Madrid’s worrying away problem exposed by dramatic 57% drop in goals – report
Real Madrid find themselves in a less-than-ideal situation in La Liga, sitting six points behind league leaders Barcelona at a very early stage of the season.
Los Blancos have lost two games so far, to Real Betis and Atletico Madrid, and Mourinho has some work to do with his squad during the international break.
The team have looked capable of overwhelming opponents at the Santiago Bernabeu this season. Take Mourinho’s side away from home, however, and the transformation has been alarming.

There are three games remaining in the 2026 regular season, and somehow the Astros control their own destiny in the American League West.
The Astros have won two of three games this week despite not having a starting pitcher complete three innings. Hunter Brown will start Friday’s game in West Sacramento, with Hayden Wesneski likely to follow Saturday. But what about Sunday?
This would’ve been Cristian Javier’s turn in the rotation, but Javier was placed on the injured list Wednesday after leaving Tuesday’s start with a groin injury.
