Photo by Jordon Kelly/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesJason Kelce has hit back over frustrations surrounding the Philadelphia Eagles tush push play following the opening game of the 2026 NFL season.The reigning Super Bowl champions, the Seattle Seahawks, got off to a winning start over the New England Patriots on Wednesday night.It was far from a conventional win, with Mike Macdonald forced to play virtually the entire game without his starting quarterback, Sam Darnold.Seattle, therefore, had to play smart during the game, but that was easier said than done as they were penalised 10 times at Lumen Field.One of those penalties was an offside during Seattles version of Phillys tush push, known in the Pacific Northwest as the Barnyard.After seeing fans hit out over Seattle being punished after years of Eagles controversy, Kelce defended his former team passionately.Photo by Jack Compton/Getty ImagesJason Kelce defends Philadelphia Eagles tush push technique after Seahawks penaltyThe tush push has been used by Philly for some time now, with many fans across the league calling for the play to be banned.Seattle have made their own version of it with tight end AJ Barner when they need a yard or less on fourth down, hence the name The Barnyard.However, the Seahawks saw their successful Barnyard attempt pulled back for an offside, which saw Kelce take to X to defend the Eagles.Its tough to see on this angle, but all that it takes for an offensive player to be offside is for a body part to be in the neutral zone when the ball is snapped. The neutral zone is based off the ball, not the centres alignment, Kelce replied to a fan about Seattles penalty call.However, when another fan brought up a previous Eagles tush push that was not penalised, Kelce hit back.No one on offence is offside here, in fact a Miami Dolphins player is offside, the retired centre replied.The controversy will not go away unless the NFL decide to ban the play for being too dangerous.Philly are in action on Sunday against the Washington Commanders, where fans are likely going to see the tush push in action once again.Read more:Sickening Patriots announcers provide priceless reaction to third Drake Maye interceptionBuffalo Bills will now play the Canadian National Anthem before NFL games at Highmark StadiumBill Simmons Drake Maye ranking in his QB tier list has aged poorly after just one game of NFL season

Photo by Kate McShane/Getty ImagesNelly Korda and Team USA will be attempting to win the Solheim Cup on European soil this week for the first time since 2015.The Europeans have become far more competitive in the Solheim Cup over the past 15 years, winning four and tying one of the eight clashes with the American team.This week in the Netherlands is expected to be a fiercely contested match between the two teams.Nelly Korda and her teammates will undoubtedly have to cope with the vast majority of the fans cheering for the European Solheim Cup players.Photo by Naomi Baker/Getty ImagesHowever, Korda will be relishing facing the Europeans at the Solheim Cup this week, as she makes her fifth appearance in the competition.Nelly Korda reveals what Angela Stanford told Team USA to expect from the Solheim Cup crowdsKorda addressed the media on Wednesday in the Netherlands ahead of the start of the Solheim Cup later this week.The 28-year-old American was asked by one reporter why she thinks it has been so tough for the Americans to win on foreign soil since 2015.And Korda shared what captain Angela Stanford has told her team about what to expect from the crowds this week.I mean, I dont necessarily know. I mean, in Spain, we were super close. I mean, we tied with Europe, so they retained the Cup, Korda said.Gleneagles, I feel like we played really well, but maybe we just havent had anything kind of the momentum go while were in Europe.Photo by David Cannon/Getty ImagesI think that what Ang and the assistants have said this week is to really rely on each other and its mental toughness. The crowd will definitely not be on our side. We will hear some USA chants, but I think, also, what we have to realize is that we have so many people at home supporting us and rooting for us.So I think when it gets tough, like, we all have to realize that we are here for each other and that we also have so many people out there supporting us.Nelly Korda comments on Bernardus Golf ClubBernardus Golf Club plays host to the Solheim Cup this week, and Nelly Korda has offered her opinion on the layout.It is a pretty tough golf course. I mean, weve kind of played it in all sorts of weather, especially today (laughing), Korda said.Its very narrow off the tee, so you have to hit it really good off the tee. It is more of like a Jay and I said it reminds us of, like, a golf course in Australia, where theres a lot of penalizing bunkers. But it also has, like, a linksy feel to it.But as I would say for match play, I dont know, well see. I would say it just depends on the weather because every single day weve just kind of dealt with something different.So one day I think the first tee on Monday it was, like, pretty gettable and you had shorter clubs in, and it was sunny and nice, and then the next day was super windy, so everything was kind of bouncing on the greens.And then today it was like this. It was rainy, it was super windy, and all of a sudden 15 minutes later it was sunny and then rainy again. So I think its just very weather-dependent.

Four-star 2028 cornerback Dominick Harris-Payne has Florida football at No. 1 in his recruitment following a Week 1 visit to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. The Lakeland, Florida prospect was in attendance as the Gators secured a blowout victory against FAU. Payne is a priority target for the Orange and Blue in the upcoming cycle.According to Blake Alderman of Gators Online, Harris-Payne came away impressed with UF's new staff. The high school junior said the visit "amplified" Florida's status because he was able to see the coaches' impact on the field. He specifically mentioned conversations with head coach Jon Sumrall and defensive backs coach Brandon Harris.During his sophomore athletic season at Lakeland High School, he made headlines as a dual-sport athlete he appeared in 15 varsity games for the Dreadnaughts. Elite speed and length are attributes that helped the 6-foot-3-inch, 165-pound prospect earn a top-50 ranking in the Sunshine State.Alderman says Harris-Payne isn't planning an immediate commitment and intends to take several visits this fall before deciding. Notre Dame and Louisville will be challengers to Florida as they are also high on Payne's list. Dominick Harris-Payne's recruiting summaryPayne is the No. 316 overall recruit and No. 35 cornerback in the 2028 class, according to 247Sports composite. On3 industry rankings have him at Nos. 272 and 27, respectively. The blue-chip DB has 39 total offers, including invites from nine other SEC programs; among them, Alabama, Auburn and Texas. Florida currently holds the best odds to sign Payne according to On3's RPM, with a 98.5% probability.Follow us@GatorsWireon X, formerly known as Twitter, as well asBluesky, and like our page onFacebookto follow ongoing coverage ofFlorida Gatorsnews, notes and opinions.This article originally appeared on Gators Wire: Blue-chip CB Dominick Harris-Payne names Florida his No. 1 school

Dragons have finished in the bottom two in their last five seasons [Huw Evans Picture Agency]Dragons chief executive Rhys Blumberg admits being saved from a Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) cut puts extra pressure on results - and has set an ambitious target of reaching the United Rugby Championship (URC) play-offs.The governing body is pressing on with controversial plans to go from four professional men's clubs to three by 2028.It was announced in July that privately-owned Dragons and WRU-owned Cardiff will be given east and central licences, leaving Llanelli-based Scarlets and Swansea-based Ospreys competing to be the team in the west.Asked at a meeting with supporters if the WRU's plans put more pressure on results, Blumberg replied: "Yes, I do, and I honestly think it will be a great year for us."If we do win more games then it's definitely not going to harm us as we go through this process with the WRU."Wales lock Carter cleared for season startTuipulotu plays for Dragons - but will not be signedDragons are traditionally the worst performing of the Welsh quartet but made a big improvement in 2025-26.Filo Tiatia's side made the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup and won three games and drew four times to claim 28 points in the URC, up from just nine points in a nightmare 2024-25 that featured a solitary victory.They still finished one from bottom because of missed opportunities and were pipped to 14th by Scarlets on win count, meaning they have been Wales' lowest-ranked side in 18 of 23 seasons.Dragons have not finished in the top half of the league since 2005 but Blumberg has set a lofty target of reaching the play-offs."We want the top eight, I have made that very well known to Filo and he is definitely on board with that as an ambition," he said."That would be a huge step up for us but last year we had the biggest swing in league points in the URC, so I am hoping to build on that."So, why not the play-offs? It's a really ambitious but realistic target."Dragons will need a strong first block to achieve that objective with an opening fixture at Benetton on Friday, September 25 followed by home derbies against Scarlets and Ospreys.Dragons prefer four-club modelRhys Blumberg joined Dragons as chief executive in 2024 [Huw Evans Picture Agency]Dragons will chase on-field progress in yet another season that will be played amid off-field uncertainty in Wales.Blumberg admitted there was "an air of tension" between the professional clubs due to years of uncertainty and wrangling with the WRU.Dragons are safe but still do not want a cut."We've consistently said that four teams should be a way forward. We stand by that," said Blumberg."Clearly, with the WRU now saying that three is the direction of travel, we'll be sitting on our hands for a minute, taking a deep breath on the basis that we've got some security for the first time in two and a half years."The controversial proposals have led to calls for the governing body's board to resign and prompted legal action.The WRU has said the process to decide the framework for the final decision will begin in December and finish before the end of the upcoming campaign.Scarlets managing director Jon Daniels has insisted there are no plans for a merger with Ospreys and called for greater transparency from the WRU."It's not going to be straightforward, whatever they do. There are going to be legal battles," said Blumberg."However, if you are the chair or CEO of the Union and you've only got X amount of money and that's a contentious point itself and you are going to support three teams moving forward and one has to go, then at some stage you have got to make that happen."It has taken so long to get here, time that has been filled by so much nonsense and a lot of headaches."There has been no solution and no ending, and that continues. The WRU has said they are going to provide data as to why they are going to three."If that is the direction of travel and it's not our preference then we go ahead, organise the three-team agreement and move forward."The WRU, who initially wanted to cut from four to two, insist finances make it impossible to field four competitive professional sides.Blumberg said: "Are we making the most of every opportunity to maximise revenue? Are we managing all our costs as efficiently as possible?"If that is being done and we are at a point where we can only afford X number of teams then the conversation is a really horrible one, but we need to have it."No credible Anglo-Welsh conversationsDragons beat Newcastle in the Challenge Cup in 2025-26 [Huw Evans Picture Agency]It has been suggested in some quarters that Welsh rugby would thrive if it was to leave the URC and join the English league.The existing 10-team Prem is set to expand to 12 clubs in 2029-30 with a desire to grow further."I have had no credible conversation or source that has told me there is a realistic prospect of Welsh clubs entering the English league in the foreseeable future," said Blumberg."Getting out of the URC, if that was something that the Union wanted to do, is not straightforward."I don't see an Anglo-Welsh league being credible in the foreseeable future, but I don't think there is any question that the appetite for that is generally there."Welsh rugby's ins, outs and re-signings for 2026-27Your guide to Welsh rugby's pre-season fixtures
