    LIV event in Michigan in 3 weeks still unclear despite agreement with new investor
    DETROIT LIV Golf says it will keep going into 2027, even if it pulls out of Michigan to end 2026.Per an announcement from LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil on Wednesday, Aug. 5, LIV has found a lead investor that will keep the tour operational into 2027, though O'Neil didn't reveal who the investor was or how much money they planned to invest."We anticipate finalizing terms in the coming weeks, with a goal of entering a transaction in September," a LIV statement read.Still, O'Neil did not commit to the 2026 season finishing with the team championship at The Cardinal at Saint John's in Plymouth, scheduled for Aug. 27-30 just three weeks away. Many experts speculate the Michigan tournament will not proceed as planned, though it still remains on the LIV schedule as of Wednesday."This is a very fluid situation," he reportedly said. "We are all working tirelessly to do everything we can to deliver the events of the season. Some of this stuff is completely out of our control. Some of this stuff is not. We just dont have any update or certainty."The announcement from O'Neil during a news conference at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, ahead of this week's LIV tournament, follows months of speculation of the tour's imminent shutdown after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), the tour's main financial backer, pulled its funding.O'Neil's announcement of the league's continuation in 2027 included other details such as a 10-tournament schedule and LIV becoming majority player owned.Official Statement from LIV Golf.#LIVGolfpic.twitter.com/XHyul4JuAk LIV Golf (@livgolf_league) August 5, 2026LIV Golf controversially began in 2022 as a rival league to the PGA Tour, attracting star golfers away from the Tour with multi-million dollar contracts and a new format, including team golf each week. Saudi's PIF spent hundreds of millions on big-name golfers such as Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm to steal them from the PGA Tour with exclusivity deals, though Koepka and Patrick Reedleft LIV this yearto work their way back onto the PGA Tour.LIV came to The Cardinal last year, with Rahm, Tyrell Hatton, Caleb Surratt and Tom McKibbin winning a playoff for Legion XIII over DeChambeau's Crushers GC team. Each player on the winning teamreceived $1.4 million of the $50 million purse.Should LIV exit the Mitten State, it would be the second pro golf tournament to leave Michigan in 2026, with the PGA Tour's Rocket Classic just ending its eight-year run at Detroit Golf Club on Aug. 2. The PGA Tour has expressed its interest to return to the Detroit metro at some point in the future.The Cardinal, which opened in 2024 and was named the top public course in Wayne County in 2025 by the Free Press, is still open for public play until the week of the LIV tournament, per its tee sheet.Needto catch up on the news during your lunch break?Sign up for our Sports Briefing newsletterto get daily summaries of Detroit sports!You can reach Christian at cromo@freepress.com.This article originally appeared on Detroit Free Press: LIV event in Michigan in 3 weeks still unclear despite agreement with new investor

    Two dueling AI models predict the 2026 Ohio State football schedule
    If you aren't using AI just yet, you likely will be soon in some capacity. Whether it be in daily life or on your day job, there's no stopping the train that's already left the station and speeding down the track. While some of the things AI can help you with can be useful for daily routines, others can be used for fun. But which AI model is the best when it comes to predicting the outcomes of college football games?We decided to pit two AI models against each other when predicting the Ohio State football schedule for 2026, and you can bet that we'll keep track and come back to what actually occurred during the game played on the field and off of predictive AI models. For this particular exercise, we used Google's Gemini and Claude. There are some differences, and it's interesting to see what each says about the game summaries when it comes to games against the likes of Texas, Indiana, Iowa, Oregon, Nebraska, and Michigan.Here's how things panned out when asking these AI models to predict the Ohio State football schedule for 2026.Ohio State football Schedule Predictions from Gemini and ClaudeSept. 5 vs. Ball StateLocation | Ohio Stadium (Columbus, Ohio)What Gemini Says | The Buckeyes open the season at home with an absolute fireworks display. The offense clicks immediately, airing it out early before letting the depth chart get valuable reps in the second half. Final Score: Ohio State 52, Ball State 7Projected Gemini running record | 1-0What Claude Says | A lopsided season opener as Ohio State's speed advantage overwhelms a MAC opponent early. Final Score: Ohio State 52, Ball State 10Projected Claude running record | 1-0Sept. 12 at Texas LonghornsLocation | Darryl K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium (Austin, Texas)What Gemini Says | Game of the Year candidate in week two. In a hostile, high-stakes environment down in Austin, the Buckeyes weather an early Longhorn storm. A late fourth-quarter defensive stand seals a monumental non-conference road win. Final Score: Ohio State 34, Texas 31Projected Gemini running record | 2-0What Claude Says | The marquee non-conference test. A tight, physical game in Austin that Ohio State edges late behind its defensive front. Final Score: Ohio State 27, Texas 20Projected Claude running record | 2-0Sept. 19 vs. Kent StateLocation | Ohio Stadium (Columbus, Ohio)What Gemini Says | A classic tune-up game before the Big Ten gauntlet begins.

Final Score: Ohio State 59, Kent State 3Projected Gemini running record | 3-0What Claude Says | Another MAC mismatch; backups see extended snaps in the second half. Final Score: Ohio State 49, Kent State 7Projected Claude running record | 3-0Sept. 26 vs. IllinoisLocation | Ohio Stadium (Columbus, Ohio)What Gemini Says | Big Ten play kicks off under the lights. Illinois brings their usual physical style, but Ohio State's balanced attack wears down the Illini front seven by the third quarter. Final Score: Ohio State 42, Illinois 14Projected Gemini running record | 4-0 (1-0 Big Ten)What Claude Says | Illinois brings a competitive Big Ten roster, but Ohio State's home crowd and depth wear them down in the second half. Final Score: Ohio State 31, Illinois 17Projected Claude running record | 4-0 (1-0 Big Ten)Oct. 3 at IowaLocation | Kinnick Stadium (Iowa City, Iowa)What Gemini Says | Kinnick Stadium is always a trap, and Iowa's elite defense keeps this one tight and ugly for three quarters.

Final Score: Ohio State 24, Illinois 10Projected Gemini running record | 5-0 (2-0 Big Ten)What Claude Says | Classic low-scoring, ball-control Iowa game. Ohio State's defense forces a couple of key turnovers to escape Kinnick Stadium. Final Score: Ohio State 24, Iowa 13Projected Claude running record | 5-0 (2-0 Big Ten)Oct. 10 vs. MarylandLocation | Ohio Stadium (Columbus, Ohio)What Gemini Says | Maryland finds some early rhythm through the air, but the Buckeyes' secondary adjustments shut down the Terps in the second half while the offense operates with ruthless efficiency.

Final Score: Ohio State 45, Maryland 14Projected Claude running record | 6-0 (3-0 Big Ten)Oct. 17 at IndianaLocation | Memorial Stadium (Bloomington, Indiana)What Gemini Says | The Hoosiers play with plenty of energy at home, but Ohio States explosive perimeter playmakers prove to be too much to contain over four quarters. Final Score: Ohio State 38, Indiana 17Projected Gemini running record | 7-0 (4-0 Big Ten)What Claude Says | The rematch of the 2025 Big Ten Championship Game (which Indiana won 13-10).

Final Score: Ohio State 28, Indiana 24Projected Claude running record | 7-0 (4-0 Big Ten)Oct. 31 at USCLocation | Memorial Coliseum (Los Angeles, California)What Gemini Says | A Halloween night shocker in Los Angeles. The Trojans hit a few deep, low-probability plays late in the game, capitalizing on a couple of rare Buckeye turnovers to hand Ohio State its first blemish of the season. Final Score: USC 35, Ohio State 31Projected Gemini running record | 7-1 (4-1 Big Ten)What Claude Says | First trip to the Coliseum since 2008. A fun, high-energy environment; Ohio State's talent proves decisive down the stretch.

Final Score: Ohio State 38, Northwestern 10Projected Claude running record | 10-0 (7-0 Big Ten)Nov. 21 at NebraskaLocation | Memorial Stadium (Lincoln, Nebraska)What Gemini Says | A cold, windy day in Lincoln tests the team's discipline. The defense forces three turnovers, consistently handing the offense short fields to put the Cornhuskers away late. Final Score: Ohio State 31, Nebraska 13Projected Gemini running record | 10-1 (7-1 Big Ten)What Claude Says | A hostile road environment against an improved Huskers team, but Ohio State's overall talent carries the day. Final Score: Ohio State 24, Nebraska 17Projected Claude running record | 11-0 (8-0 Big Ten)Nov. 28 vs. MichiganLocation | Ohio Stadium (Columbus, Ohio)What Gemini Says | The Game.

    Damani Leech says Broncos amazing new facility is distinctly Colorado
    The Denver Broncos' new facility was built with the idea of bringing the entire organization under one roof. Broncos president Damani Leech believes the team has accomplished its goal. While addressing media members last Saturday, Leech spoke about the project at length."This building is just Its amazing," Leech said. "Its amazing; every day I walk the building, I see different parts for the first time post-construction, and I think its amazing. Its a testament to ownership, to Greg and Carrie (Penner), the investment theyve made into football. Football first, but also our business to bring nearly 100 business staff into the building to create culture, to design a building with football in mind. The spaces are really well thought of. Very intentional layout. The player path of travel was really, really important. I love coming to work every day, and I think everybody else does too.The first floor is specifically tailored for the players, second floor is for football operations, and the top level is the business side of the franchise. Take a look at an inside video of the building courtesy of DNVR's Zac Stevens.An inside look at the Denver Broncos new state-of-the-art headquarters that spans over 350,000 square feet and cost a cool $175 million courtesy of the Denver @broncospic.twitter.com/z8oUO9906c Zac Stevens (@ZacStevens) August 2, 2026Leech spoke about the features of the building which make it special in his eyes, including a fun feature he "begged for.""What I think is unique about this building is that it is distinctly Colorado," Leech said. "I think people walk the building and they feel like they understand that this is the Denver Broncos training facility. Were here in Colorado, a lot of the natural wood. I love on the third floor, which well see, the elevated ceilings, the mass timber is a great place for me to come and work every day. I was begging for the golf simulator and I got it, so theres really nothing that we didnt get."Finally, Leech said the bigger locker room will be a huge benefit for the players within the building. "When we set out to design this facility, again, it was with football in mind as our sort of primary user, primary customer," Leech said. "We got feedback from players, from coaches, from staff about all the different spaces they work in and are really proud about the locker room now. I think its four to five times bigger than the previous locker room. The lockers themselves are amazing. Its a great office for the players to get to come to every day. Its a really special place with a centralized sort of living room area for them to gather and spend time. I think its a great locker room. Its amazing.This locker room though pic.twitter.com/ed95rRj6en Denver Broncos (@Broncos) July 28, 2026Coach Sean Payton emphasized that the building itself should not be the focus of fans and media. "I said this yesterday in our first team meeting: dont ever lose track of the facility and whos in the facility," Payton said last week. "Whos in the facility is the most important thing. There have been a ton of teams in fancy new gigs that havent been to the postseason in quite a while. Lets not lose track of whats in the facility."The Broncos continue training camp on Thursday, ramping up to their first preseason game on Aug. 14.Social: FollowBroncos WireonFacebookandTwitter/X!Did you know:These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.This article originally appeared on Broncos Wire: Damani Leech says Broncos amazing new facility is distinctly Colorado
