The cream always rises to the top.That's the message J.J. Watt is injecting into Burnley FC, the English soccer club that he is a minority investor in.The former Houston Texans great tapped into his "Milk Man" persona to help design the side's cream-colored away kit for the 2026-2027 season. Burnley, which was founded in 1882, released a lighthearted promotional video called "The Cream Rises" on Friday, July 31 to share the design with the world.In in the visual, Watt plays a local milk man. After starting his day among cows and sheep, he drives a milk float through the countryside, dropping off deliveries to local legends, including cricket great Sir Jimmy Anderson and entrepreneur Dave Fishwick. Instead of actual cream, the goods delivered are one of the new kits. The defensive star ends his trip at Turf Moor, the Clarets' stadium, showing off the full Castore jersey with the cream base and horizontal red and green stripes."From day one, I didn't want this to be just another football shirt. I wanted to create something quintessentially Burnley," Watt said in a statement on the team's website. "Every decision we made started with one question: are we doing the supporters of this club proud? As Ive said many times before, this club existed long before I arrived and it will exist long after Im gone. But during this time, my goal is to help honor its great past while also shepherding it to a brighter future."Watt, who is married to former United States soccer star Kealia Ohai, spent two years with the club creating the design. He studied past kits and decided he wanted to bring back one of the club's old crests, an intricate shield that has symmetrical lions, roses, a bee and a knight's helmet. It was used from 1979 to 1983 and again from 1987 to 2009. There is also a subtle geometric pattern throughout the kit inspired by the stonework at Burnley's historic training facility, Gawthorpe Hall."I am merely a steward for this club," Watt said in the club's behind-the-scenes video of the making of the kit, "but the opportunity to create a kit with this badge and this crest and hopefully with the proper respect for what it means is an incredible honor for me and I hope everybody likes it.""It's been great fun working with JJ on this project," Ed Stewart-Lockhart, Burnley's Chief Marketing Officer added, calling the jersey "future-retro." "He's brought incredible energy all the way through. You can see how much he's enjoyed it, but also how much it matters to him that we've got it right."View this post on InstagramThe club said that the first 100 fans to buy the jersey at their official store would get a collector's box that had an exclusive cap and signed photo of Watt. The first 100 online customers would also get an autographed photo.Burnley will play in the EFL Championship this upcoming season. They were relegated after spending one year in the Premier League.The cream kit will make its debut on Sunday, August 2 in a home friendly against Torino.Watt continues to be involved in American football, too. He will serve as CBS Sports' lead NFL analyst while Tony Romo is on leave.This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: See the Burnley FC kit J.J. Watt designed and promoted as 'The Milkman'

Most NHL analysts are on vacation as the offseason heads into August.But longtime NHL TV executive and analyst John Shannon and Vegas Golden Knights TV host Daren Millard are busy with their TV show/podcast, "100% Hockey with Millard & Shannon."On an episode this week, Shannon said that the Detroit Red Wings' search to replace general manager Steve Yzerman "may not be rectified until September."Yzerman stepped down on July 15 to transition into a new role as a senior adviser to CEO Chris Ilitch. "I was told was that it's going to take a lot longer than people realize," Shannon said. "We're not talking about an imminent hiring. It's very quiet. "Steve is still walking around the office and there are decisions to be made, but he's in a maintenance position with the hockey club."Later in the show, NHL color analyst Eddie Olczyk said he would like to see his friend, Kris Draper (Red Wings assistant GM and director of amateur scouting) "get an opportunity" to run the team.Olczyk, 59, announced on the show that he's stepping down after four years as a TV analyst with the Seattle Kraken to spend more time with his family in Chicago."Steve keeps things close to the vest, whether he was in Tampa or in Detroit," Olczyk said. "I don't know what their feelings are or what their mandateis. We'll see how this all plays out."This article originally appeared on The Detroit News: Red Wings' GM search could drag into September: NHL analyst

TAMPA, FLORIDA - DECEMBER 31: Members of the Vanderbilt Commodores defense reach for a loose ball that was eventually intercepted by Martel Hight #4 during the first half of the ReliaQuest Bowl at Raymond James Stadium on December 31, 2025 in Tampa, Florida. (Photo by Mike Carlson/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesThe SEC generally, and Georgias schedule specifically is absolutely full of elite players. Along with the other preview series were running here at Dawg Sports as fall practice looms, I thought it would be instructive to look at the ten best players the Red and Black will see this season. We begin with a Vandy defensive back whos going to have a lot on his shoulders this year. Martel Hight, CB, Vanderbilt (vs. Vanderbilt, Oct. 3)With Diego Pavia gone to the NFL, Vanderbilts defense becomes the more proven side of the ball, and Hight is its anchor. In 2025 he led the SEC in interceptions among defensive players, finishing with four picks and 35 tackles despite Vanderbilt not placing any defenders on the All-SEC teams. Hight has been a steady piece of the Vanderbilt secondary since his true freshman year, when he played in all 12 games and accounted for 38 tackles and an interception. As a sophomore he added 33 tackles, two interceptions, four passes defended, and a forced fumble, while also handling return duties. He was chosen to represent the program at SEC Media Days entering his senior season, a sign of the trust the staff has in his leadership as the Commodores transition to a new quarterback.In 2025 the Commodore staff gave Hight a look at receiver, where hed been a standout in high school. The move made sense with Diego Pavia at QB but question marks surrounding Vandys receiving corps. Getting Hight, among the best athletes on the roster, more snaps to be explosiive made sense on paper.On the field it was less of a winner. Hight was targeted just 11 times out of 55 offensive snaps, catching just 7 balls and accounting for just 64 yards and no touchdowns. Hight played more than 10 offensive snaps in three of Vanderbilts first four games, then never got that level of usage again. Just one throw went Hights way after week four, as the staff seems to have realized his highest and best use is at corner. For Georgia, Hight is the kind of corner who can turn a broken coverage into a turnover. His ball skills and instincts for finding the football make him dangerous on any pass that isnt placed well. Gunner Stockton will need to know where Hight lines up on every snap and avoid feeding him opportunities in obvious passing situations, since he has shown a knack for cashing in on mistakes against the SECs best offenses.MARTEL HIGHT WITH THE PICK pic.twitter.com/a5QehwrQzV Vanderbilt Football (@VandyFootball) October 4, 2025Go Dawgs!!!

Usman Nurmagomedov continued his incredible undefeated run Friday at PFL New York with another defense of his lightweight title, this time against Archie Colgan.Colgan (13-1) came into the fight with a perfect record and all the confidence, but Nurmagomedov (22-0) took that away from him with a first-round knockout victory in the event headliner at UBS Arena on Long Island.With the win, Nurmagomedov completed the final fight of his PFL contract and will become one of the most coveted fighters in the sport.

Fifa has scrapped its plan to sell stakes in the World Cup and other tournaments to private investors, after widespread backlash and threats of a boycott.Fifa president Gianni Infantino proposed the controversial plan in July, declaring that a vote would determine whether or not it would go ahead, but there was anger and concern from many voices in the footballing world.European footballs governing body Uefa even confirmed a boycott of the World Cup and other Fifa competitions, saying its member nations would not take part if Infantinos plan was voted through.The Asian Football Confederation and Concacaf, which represents 41 nations from North and Central America and the Caribbean, backed Uefa in their stance.Despite Fifa hitting back in a statement that insisted nobody is selling football, the sports world governing body ultimately backed down.The immediate response of some association heads is that Infantino still needs to go.Gianni Infantino has scrapped his plans to sell off a stake in the World Cup (PA Wire)A statement from Infantino read: The Fifa Forward Enterprise project was intended to provide a basis for further strengthening our Fifa Member Associations and our sport worldwide, especially in those countries where support is most needed. And more so, as we said from the outset, to do this only if a majority of the Fifa Member Associations were in support and always subject to a consultation process with them, the Fifa Council, the Confederations and wider stakeholders.Having listened carefully to all the views, it has become clear that the project has created divisions of a nature that, regardless of the level of support, are no longer in the interest of the objective set out in the first place.Our purpose has always been and will always be to unite and improve. As a result, this proposal will not proceed.Moving forward, my intent is to bring all interested parties back together in the coming days and weeks in the spirit of shared interest in our game, and with the objective to continue growing football everywhere, particularly in those countries that mostly need our support.

Could some former Arizona State athletes receive an extra year of eligibility? It appears so.Judge Charlotte Sweeney of the U.S. District Court of Colorado granted a class-wide preliminary injunction that requires the NCAA to declare eligible high school athletes who entered collegiate competition during the 2022-23 year and exhausted their eligibility in the 2025-26 competition year.This would bring those in the high school class of 2022 into the current era of 5-for-5, which allows an athlete to play for five years following the completion of high school.It is unclear if football players who signed contracts as undrafted free agents will be permitted to return to college. Here are the conclusions from the order granting class certification and the order granting the TRO. pic.twitter.com/kIUKJt54G9 Sam C.

Los Angeles, CA - March 24:Dodgers player Tommy Edman wipes sweat from his brow as he rehabs from an ankle injury at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, CA on Tuesday, March 24, 2026.(Robert Gauthier/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images)This is your one-stop shop for every Dodgers stint on the injured list during the 2026 season. Well also include every time a player misses time on the paternity list, bereavement leave, or is on the family medical emergency list as well.Basically any time a player misses time that requires a roster move, well note it here.During the 2025 season, 28 different Dodgers players spent time on the injured list, some of them for multiple stints. That matched the team total from 2024, while in 2023 the Dodgers saw 34 players miss time on the IL.Every injured-list stint is a transaction and will also be chronicled on our 40-man roster page. Both are essentially living documents that will be constantly updated throughout the season as these moves happen.Injured-list stints for pitchers are a minimum of 15 days, and for position players its at least 10 days. During spring training, the Dodgers placed both Evan Phillips and Kik Hernndez on the 60-day injured list, which opened up space on the 40-man roster for other moves. On opening day, six more Dodgers were placed on the injured list, including Blake Snell and Tommy Edman.For more information on each specific injured list stint, click on the links on the dates in the list below this table.Note: if you are on a mobile device, these tables will show up best in landscape mode.PlayerPos.InjuryDate onEligible to returnCommentsWill Smith*CNeck inflammationJun 11Aug 6moved to 60-day July 21Tyler Glasnow*SPLower back spasmsMay 8nowmoved to 60-day June 6Blake TreinenRHPRight elbow inflammationJun 20nowBrock StewartRHPRight shoulder discomfortJul 31Aug 15Ben Casparius*RHPShoulder inflammationApr 13nowstarted rehab July 25Brusdar Graterol*RHPShoulder surgeryMar 25nowback surgery in late MayGavin Stone*SPShoulder inflammationMar 25nowmoved to 60-day Apr 1Blake Snell*SPLoose bodies in elbowMay 15nowsurgery May 19Jake Cousins*RHPTommy John surgeryMar 25nowexpected back midseasonBobby Miller*RHPShoulder sorenessMar 24now*60-day injured listPlayerPosInjuryDate onDate offGames outCommentsMookie BettsSSOblique strainApr 5May 11322 rehab gamesEdwin DazRHPRight elbow surgeryApr 20Jul 29867 rehab gamesJack DreyerLHPLeft shoulder discomfortMay 17May 3112no rehab gamesTommy EdmanIF/OFRight ankle surgeryMar 25Jun 167314 rehab gamesFreddie Freeman1BPaternity listApr 19Apr 212birth of daughterKik HernndezIF/OFLeft elbow surgeryFeb 21May 255312 rehab gamesKik HernndezIF/OFLeft oblique strainMay 27Jul 28517 rehab gamesTeoscar HernndezOFLeft hamstring strainMay 29Jun 29274 rehab gamesLandon KnackRHPIntercostal strainMar 25Jul 1183 rehab gamesEvan PhillipsRHPTommy John surgeryFeb 12Jul 69112 rehab gamesBlake SnellSPShoulder fatigueMar 25May 9383 rehab startsBrock StewartRHPShoulder surgeryMar 25May 6368 rehab gamesBrock StewartRHPLeft foot bone spurMay 9Jun 22404 rehab gamesClick on the date below for more information on each transaction:July 31: Brock Stewart placed on 15-day injured list.

If this was Hunter Greenes last start as a Cincinnati Red, it was an understated goodbye on a cloudy, humid July night on the riverfront.With the days ticking down to hours before the Aug. 3 MLB trade deadline and the buzz around his name increasing, Greene made his 10th career start against the Pittsburgh Pirates fifth overall start of this season since returning from the injured list and then waited after those six innings to learn what uniform he might be wearing for his next start sometime next week.Reds injuries Nick Lodolo Will Nick Lodolo's new breaking ball be weapon for Reds in 2027?Greenes hometown Los Angeles Dodgers have been mentioned most frequently in the Greene-stakes, largely because of their need for frontline starting pitching with Shohei Ohtani sidelined from pitching, along with their strong farm system and their ability to handle without flinching whats left on a team-friendly contract ($15 million next year, $16 million in 2028 and a $21 million club option in 2029).But several teams have been asking about Greene even before the Reds decided to make him available, assuming they get a high enough return for their most valuable chip as they try to retool for a possible playoff run next year.Six teams have had scouts at Great American Ballpark during the homestand solely for evaluating trade-deadline targets, and five were still there for the Pirates series: from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Tampa Bay Rays, Seattle Mariners, San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers. Among them, only the Mariners were said to be looking at players from both teams for trade-deadline purposes.The Philadelphia Phillies, who have scouted the Reds for at least the past month, peeled off after the just-concluded Cleveland series (coincidentally, about the time one of their targets, Spencer Steer, landed on the injured list with a wrist injury).That may not represent even half the teams focusing on Reds targets in an era when many teams have shrunk their scouting departments to rely more on remote/video evaluations.The Reds, who blew Greene's lead in the eighth but rallied to win 8-7 in his start, have something for everybodys shopping list.The Rangers and Rays are among a half-dozen teams looking for catching (see: Tyler Stephenson). The Diamondbacks are looking for lefty bats with openings at first and in the outfield (Nathaniel Lowe). The Mariners are looking for a right-handed bat (maybe third times a charm with Eugenio Suarez).And everybody is looking for pitching with starter Brady Singer sure to be moved, along with two or three relievers, and Greene among the high-priced luxury pitchers available for the right price.Im just trying to have peace and an open mind, Stephenson said, and continuing to worry about winning these games. Worrying about its not going to help anything.I think everybody (in the clubhouse) is in the same (mindset). We have no control over it.In fact, trade deadline buzz overshadowed even the pitching matchup between Greene and reigning Cy Young winner Paul Skenes who lasted just four innings and allowed five runs. Believe it or not, when the Reds came back to win, it meant they're 3-1 in games this year started by Skenes and Brewers phenom Jacob Misiorowski.Reds players who are possible trade chipsThe Reds trade-chip report for July 31:Starting pitcher Hunter Greene (2-2, 6.83): Forced to throw 11 extra pitches in the first inning because of a bobble by Matt McLain that prevented an inning-ending double play, Greene gave up two quick ones in the first on a subsequent two-run single. Greene still might have gotten out of the inning unscathed if he hadnt hesitated covering first on a grounder behind first base just ahead of the run-scoring hit. He retired 15 of 20 after the first.Catcher Tyler Stephenson: He extended his streak of reaching base to six consecutive plate appearances with a run-scoring double and walk in his first two trips to the plate and after a pair of strikes was then walked intentionally with two out in the eighth. He entered the game as one of just four MLB catchers eight multi-hit games since June 26.Lefty reliever Caleb Ferguson (4.18 ERA, 25 games): The man who was traded each of the past two trade deadlines entered with a 5-4 lead and was charged with the tying and go-ahead runs after giving up back-to-back one-out singles and exiting.Righty reliever Pierce Johnson (4.96, 37 games): Taking over for Ferguson, Johnson got the final two outs in the eighth but not before allowing three consecutive two-out, run-scoring singles to blow the lead.DH/first baseman Nathaniel Lowe: One night after becoming the 11th hitter in the majors this season to produce a walk-off win (grounded to short), Lowe singled twice in four at-bats, and then hit a two-out grounder to third in a three-run eighth that resulted in the winning run scoring on an error when the late-covering second baseman had the ball glance off his glove.Third baseman/DH Eugenio Surez: He struck out twice and walked in four trips before giving way to KeBryan Hayes as a defensive replacement in the eighth.Less than 69 hours remained before Mondays 6 p.m. deadline when the game ended.This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: Reds' Hunter Greene goes 6 in final start before MLB trade deadline
