WEST LAFAYETTE, INDIANA - SEPTEMBER 04: George Burhenn #81 of the Purdue Boilermakers is seen against the Indiana State Sycamores during the first half at Ross-Ade Stadium on September 04, 2026 in West Lafayette, Indiana. (Photo by Bobby Goddin/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesLess than 24 hours away from Purdues week two game against Wake Forest its time for a final look back at Purdues week 1 game against Indiana State. This week I asked you all to tell me if Purdues performance against the Sycamores changed your expectations for the rest of the season. It seemed like a good thing to ask given that I had already asked all of you how you graded Purdues week 1 performance. The results were not great if youre Purdue. As you can see the majority of respondents graded Purdue at a C. Thats not what you want out of week 1 when youre playing a cupcake. So given that C grade I was curious if that changed expectations up or down. Of course. there was also the option for no change. So, lets take a look at the results. A whopping 76% of respondents didnt change their expectations after week 1 which honestly seems very reasonable, rationale, and not at all okay for this current internet age. Those 76% are the well adjusted respondents. 22% revised their expectations down and those are the people who likely graded Purdue much lower than a C. Honestly, I dont blame them. Then, there are the true sickos. 2% of respondents actually raised their expectations after week 1. I can only assume Fame Ejiobe blew them away and their are pushing all their chips in on him. This time tomorrow we will have a much better idea of who this Purdue team is. If youd like to place a wager on tomorrows Purdue vs. Wake Forest game the line is currently Purdue +2.5 and the O/U in 49.5 from our friends at FanDuel. If youre going to gamble please do so responsibly and dont gamble money that you arent prepared to lose. Stay safe my friends.

Los Angeles Kings prospect gather at center ice during practice at Toyota Sports Performance Center on Friday, September 11, 2026.EL SEGUNDO -- The Los Angeles Kings held a practice in preparation for the 2026 Rookie Faceoff today at Toyota Sports Performance Center.The Rookie Faceoff is an annual event held every year before the start of the season for some of the top prospects on certain teams, and one of many such events held throughout the NHL. This years Rookie Faceoff takes place from Sep. 12-15 in San Jose, and will feature the Kings, Anaheim Ducks, San Jose Sharks, Vegas Golden Knights, Colorado Avalanche and Utah Mammoth. Although many of the players involved will not play in the NHL this season, these events still unofficially kick off the 2026-27 campaign.Theres definitely a feeling of, Were really representing the organization out of the gates to start the year, said Ontario Reign head coach Andrew Lord, who will lead the Rookie Faceoff team. Yes, its a rookie tournament but were representing the team.The Kings roster is highlighted by a handful of players, including 2025 first-round pick Henry Brzustewicz, 2025 second-round pick Vojtech Cihar, and top goalie prospects Carter George and Hampton Slukynsky. While playing together as a team, each individual player is also looking to stand out and prove themselves to the front office and the coaching staff.You cant worry too much about that, Slukynsky said. Just focus on yourself and doing what you can do and controlling what you can control. Obviously, were all competing with each other, but its good that we push each other and we support each other and help each other get better, but everybody wants to play and compete. So its been good and its fun to compete with all these guys.Of the 26 players on the Kings roster, Slukynsky is one of 12 and the only one of the three goalies with experience playing for the Reign.It was huge, he said. Coming out here last spring and getting to know everyone on the staff and getting familiar with the area. And obviously playing really high-level hockey was huge coming into this year, and Ill lean on that experience going into this season.Its gonna be a friendly competition all year, George said of his work with his fellow goalie. Looking forward to it, excited about it youre always looking over your shoulder, trying to do one more rep than him or just be that slight edge better than him. So I definitely think its good for both of us just to push each other.The next step for the Kings is to get into game action, beginning tomorrow at 5 p.m. against the Sharks.Its been a full summer of training, three or four months, Slukynsky said. This is why you train. This is why you work so hard all summer, so just getting going and playing some live hockey will be fun.In addition to the Kings game against San Jose, they will also play on Sunday against the Ducks and Tuesday against the Mammoth.

The full footage is even uglier.Nearly three months after Dustin Poirier was arrested for public drunkenness at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, an extended, 28-minute police body-camera video has been released, showing everything that happened after The Diamond was placed in handcuffs.The initial footage showed an intoxicated and highly agitated Poirier confronting Delta employees before challenging the responding officer to a fight. When the officer pulled out his taser, Poirier eventually backed down and allowed himself to be arrested without a physical altercation.At first, Poirier appeared to calm down and even complimented the officer for how he handled the volatile situation. However, the former interim UFC Lightweight champions mood quickly shifted as officers transported him through the airport police station.Poirier bragged about previously spending time behind bars, claiming he had served time for second-degree assault that was later reduced to simple battery. Ive been months, years, Ive done prison time, Poirier said. This shit aint nothing to me, dog. You know Ive been in prison? Im not lying to you! Dog, Ive done been penitentiary time alreadySecond degree assault. It got turned into simple battery. And other shit. Ive done time before. I dont give a fk about this.He then dismissed the possibility that the embarrassing footage would eventually become public.When an officer reminded him that his fans would see the video, Poirier fired back, Fk the fans! Fk you guys!Poirier also repeatedly challenged officers to remove his handcuffs and face him one-on-one. His behavior continued inside a holding cell, where he managed to step through the cuffs and move his restrained hands from behind his back to the front of his body.Officers eventually entered the cell to reposition the handcuffs, prompting another profanity-filled outburst in which Poirier threatened to fight them. Man, fk yall! Stop fking around! Poirier said. Unlock this shit so I can fk yall up. Yall fking playing with me, man! Im tired of this shit. Im trying to fking work with you guys! Bring me to my fking shit, man! Yall being a bunch of fking hoes! Fck that Mr. Dustin shit! Unlock me, dog, and lets go! Im tired of this shit! Ive had enough!During a later search, Poirier sarcastically instructed an officer to check my dick, too.New Dustin Poirier arrest footage was just released by Atlanta police Hoe ass n***a. Search my d*ck F*ck the fans, f*ck you guys. Free me and lets go 1-on-1. Lets see what happens. pic.twitter.com/aIIu4JEHuP Happy Punch (@HappyPunch) September 11, 2026The retired UFC star became emotional during his eventual transfer to Clayton County Jail, mentioning his young children and accusing officers of messing with him. The footage ends as Poirier continues yelling during the booking process.Poirier was arrested on June 21, 2026, and charged with misdemeanor public drunkenness. He was released later that night.After the original footage surfaced, Poirier publicly apologized and admitted that he needed help while adjusting to life after fighting.My family deserve me at 100%, Poirier wrote, adding that alcohol had already ruined his fathers life and that he would not allow it to destroy his own.

Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Gunner Stockton (14) warms up before an NCAA college football game against Tennessee State, Saturday, Sept. 5, 2026, in Athens, Ga. (AP Photo/Colin Hubbard) Colin HubbardCoach Kirby Smart realized an explanation might be needed when he said his goal for No. 2 Georgia in Saturdays game against Western Kentucky was to continue to get better.[DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks]After all, there seemed to be little room for improvement after last weeks 63-3 season-opening win over Tennessee State.We have a saying around here, you dont have to be sick to get better, Smart said Tuesday. Thats been the motto of last week and this week.Georgia (1-0) moved up one spot in the Associated Press Top 25 college football poll after Gunner Stockton passed for three touchdowns in less than one half and Nate Frazier ran for three scores in the dominant opening win. Georgia scored touchdowns on its first five possessions for a 35-0 lead before Stockton left the game.The visit from the Hilltoppers (0-1) on Saturday will be the last nonconference game before Georgia opens its Southeastern Conference schedule at Arkansas on Sept. 19.TRENDING STORIES:Teen son of Kim Zolciak, Kroy Biermann charged in previous sexual battery caseRally for miniature donkey HeeHaw turns violent; reporter attackedLIVE UPDATES: Flash flood warning for metro Atlanta; Ground stop issued at Atlanta airportRespect for Western Kentucky and Tyson HeltonWestern Kentucky opened with a 49-14 loss at Nevada but is coming off a 9-4 finish in 2025 that included a win over Southern Miss in the New Orleans Bowl. The Hilltoppers are 57-37 under coach Tyson Helton, who is in his eighth season.It shows you that they have a tremendous evaluation process, Smart said. Theyve done a great job of developing players. Its changed, and hes changed with it because theyve had to dip into the portal and take more kids out of the portal because more of theirs have moved on through the portal.Hilltoppers facing top 5 teams in back-to-back weeksAfter Saturdays visit to Georgia, Western Kentucky will visit No. 5 Indiana next week. Helton said he wants to win each week but he also retains a goal of having his team ready for its Conference USA schedule.If we could do this correctly its a great opportunity for us to play the best teams in the country and get better as a football team and elevate our game and feel good about who we are so that when we get into the rest of the season and conference play, weve played high level opponents and were operating at a high level, Helton said.Georgia debuts all-white uniformsThe Bulldogs will debut a new all-white look as an alternate uniform. The new uniform will feature white helmets, with red and black stripes, white jerseys with black numbers and red trim, and white pants. The switch from the traditional red helmets will be especially dramatic. The Bulldogs traditional home uniform includes red jerseys and silver britches.I cant wait, tight end Elyiss Williams said Tuesday. Its going to be crazy for sure. I cant wait to see the atmosphere when we bring them out.[SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
