Burn these now.
I’m normally a fan of the alternate uniform, and love seeing them revealed — but the Colts decided to rob me of that joy on Thursday morning.

What in the ever-loving world of Kentucky-ass football are these? We’ll get back to this whole “Indiana Nights” thing, because it’s hilarious. For now, let’s focus on these uniforms, which look like Cookie Monster decided to cosplay as Darth Vader for an evening.

The Jets have agreed to trade wide receiver Denzel Mims and a 2025 seventh-round pick to the Lions for a 2025 conditional sixth-round pick, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Northwestern has had discussions with former NFL and college coach Dave Wannstedt and others about a special assistant role for the 2023 season.

NFL teams have unveiled a number of new looks over the last few days, and on Thursday it was the Colts’ turn. Unfortunately, their new “Indiana Nights” uniforms aren’t getting the best reception.
Indianapolis’ new alternate look features heathered blue jerseys and a franchise-first black helmet. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, they will first wear them for their Oct. 22 game vs. the Browns, and will continue to be worn “for select games in future seasons.

Schedule and television information for the 2023 Women’s World Cup
The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is officially underway, with the host nations New Zealand and Australia both in action on the first day of the tournament.
This is the first Women’s World Cup played with the expanded 32-team field, and this year’s edition features eight teams making their World Cup debut: Haiti, Republic of Ireland, Morocco, Panama, Philippines, Portugal, Vietnam and Zambia are all making their first appearance in the Women’s World Cup.

There have been rumblings in recent weeks that there is tension in the relationship between Patriots owner Robert Kraft and coach Bill Belichick.
Could that tension actually lead to the departure of the six-time Super Bowl–winning coach?
Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, appearing on this week’s SI Media With Jimmy Traina, says that’s a very real possibility if Belichick doesn’t make the playoffs.

“I think there’s pressure on Belichick, who has missed the playoffs two of the last three years and the one time he made it, he got blown out by the Bills, 47–17,” says Florio.

Who can win? Who has the best betting value? Which props are the most interesting? Our experts look at The Open from all angles.

The Colonial Athletic Association will change its name to the Coastal Athletic Association, according to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Per Thamel, the conference name change comes as the league continues to expand its footprint down the East coast, giving it an opportunity to “modernize” the name. The logo will remain the same.
The CAA is not the first entity to move away from the term “Colonial.” George Washington University recently retired the moniker and renamed its mascot the “Revolutionaries.

The landscape of college football was extremely different when Deion Sanders played at Florida State compared to how things are today with his son, Shedeur. That can be said for both on-field schematics in terms of Xs and Os, as well as how things operate around the sport.

Deion lined up for the Seminoles in the late ’80s. He spent four years in Tallahassee from 1985 to 1988.

The 2023 British Open is off and running at Royal Liverpool, and while there’s already been a number of cool golf shots, there’s been one thing that’s annoying fans trying to watch on TV: the constant barrage of commercials shown on the broadcast. 
NBC Sports is once again airing the tournament across Peacock, USA Network and NBC. Thursday morning’s early first-round coverage has been an onslaught of commercial breaks, which has made it very frustrating for viewers. This isn’t anything new, but it does make it very hard to watch.
