BOSTON (AP) — Joe Morgan, the popular Boston Red Sox manager who guided his hometown team to a pair of AL East titles, has died. He was 95.
In a statement Sunday, the Red Sox announced that Morgan died Saturday night. The club was informed by his daughter, Catherine, team spokesperson Abby Murphy said. No further information was provided.

Sean West’s name will no doubt be carved in college football fans’ memories for the rest of time after this gorgeous punt sequence for Wisconsin.
Sunday night under the lights at Lambeau Field, Wisconsin took on No. 4 Notre Dame as both teams kicked off their college football seasons. Notre Dame took an early 10-3 lead into the second quarter, but momentum turned in Wisconsin’s favor after an unbelievable punt from West.

Paddy Pimblett has opened up about rumors of him facing Ilia Topuria next.
It took just 52 seconds for Paddy ‘The Baddy’ to catch Benoit Saint Denis in a choke and render him unconscious. Arguably his greatest display inside the octagon against one of the division’s elite, the Brit has been in limbo since July. No fight announcement, and reportedly no talks have taken place since the 28-year-old’s showstopping performance in Las Vegas.
While comfortable enjoying life away from the octagon, Paddy Pimblett has title aspirations and is seeking the ultimate success under the UFC banner.

Florida State football and SMU open conference play on Monday night with a Labor Day matchup from Doak Campbell Stadium, the first-ever meeting between the schools in Tallahassee.

A fight near the end of third quarter in Saturday night’s high school football game between Mililani (HI) and Foothill (NV) resulted in the game being called early.
The game was called with 3:51 remaining in the third quarter on Sept. 5.
Mililani, the No. 13 team in the USA TODAY Sports Super 15 West rankings entering the week, had just scored a touchdown on an 8-yard run by Makakoa West. The visiting team attempted the point after attempt and as the kick went through the uprights, punches were thrown.

NBC, which broadcasted Michigan’s controversial win over Western Michigan on Sept. 5, released a statement via studio host John Fanta on Sept. 6, explaining its role in why an extra second was added to the game clock.
Wolverines quarterback Bryce Underwood threw a 47-yard touchdown pass to JJ Buchanan as time expired for the 13-12, potentially season-saving win. The play, though, came after officials ruled there was still a second left on game clock left after review, which came after the first Hail Mary attempted sailed out the back of the end zone.

SARATOGA SPRINGS – Manny Franco and Kevin Huerter were both living The Good Life on Sunday at Saratoga Race Course.
For Franco, his four-length win aboard The Good Life in the Grade 1 Hopeful Stakes was part of an historic day as he approached the end of the best Saratoga season of his career.

On paper, the Dallas Cowboys’ offensive line looks largely the same as last year. Tyler Guyton is at left tackle, Tyler Smith is left guard, Cooper Beebe is the center, Tyler Booker is at right guard, and Terence Steele is penciled in at right tackle.
Anyone who remembers what happened last season knows things don’t always go according to plan. Four of the five Cowboys starters missed time in 2025, with three of them missing three or more games. And anyone who’s been tracking training camp news knows their performances haven’t all been sunshine and rainbows.

Larry Fitzgerald made just two trips to Lambeau Field during his Hall of Fame career with the Arizona Cardinals.
His latest visit to the home of the NFL’s Green Bay Packers, however, comes in a much different role: dad.
The former NFL star was spotted on the field before Sunday’s Shamrock Series matchup between No. 5 Notre Dame and Wisconsin, chatting with comedian and Fighting Irish fan Shane Gillis as Fitzgerald prepared to watch his son’s collegiate debut.
Fitzgerald’s son, Devin, is a freshman wide receiver on Marcus Freeman’s Notre Dame squad.

The 18-race 2026 IndyCar season has officially come to an end. After Chip Ganassi Racing’s Alex Palou had already clinched his fifth championship before the Grand Prix of Monterey, Palou finished just eighth at Laguna Seca – the worst finish of his career at the track.
Instead, it was Scott McLaughlin claiming his first victory of the season to close things out. Andretti Global’s Kyle Kirkwood finished second to clinch second in the championship, just 10 points ahead of Arrow McLaren’s Christian Lundgaard.
