Penn State’s 2026 football schedule looks favorable compared to years past. The Nittany Lions will play just two teams (USC and Michigan) that made the final AP top-25 poll of 2025, with no matchups against programs that made the College Football Playoff. No wonder FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt suggested that Penn State and head coach Matt Campbell hit the scheduling “jackpot.” But we dived deeper into Penn State’s schedule, ranking the games from most to least important and taking into account the impact that schedule will have on Campbell’s first team. Oct. 10 vs. USCPenn State Nittany Lions players celebrate after…

Las Vegas Raiders star tight end Brock Bowers says he feels “100 percent” after a knee injury limited him to 12 games last season and affected him throughout.”I feel great,” he told reporters on Thursday. “It feels good to be back out there, practicing full speed [and] getting back into football with all the guys again.”Bowers took the NFL by storm as a rookie in 2024, catching 112 passes for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns. But his production waned last season in five fewer games, as he finished with 64 catches for 680 yards and seven touchdowns.Still, he’s one of…
(Matchroom Boxing) HOUSTON, Texas – O’Shaquie Foster has dismissed Raymond Ford’s criticism of his reign as WBC junior-lightweight champion and insisted that his challenger is making a mistake by reading into some of his closer fights. The 32-year-old Foster defends his title on Saturday at the Fertitta Center, and he does so not only as the lead attraction but as one of the most in-form fighters in the world. His most recent victory, in December over Stephen Fulton, was at lightweight, but came after victories over Robson Conceicao, Abraham Nova, Eduardo Hernandez and Rey Vargas that transformed his career. Foster ultimately…
Sir Donald Bradman needs little introduction. Cricket – and possibly world sport’s – most dominant figure, “The Don” is known for his staggering batting feats, including a scarcely believable batting average of 99.94, and his leadership of Australia’s 1948 team nicknamed the “Invincibles”. However, few would know Bradman was a key figure behind cricket’s transformation from time-consuming five-day matches to the chaotic world of one-day and Twenty20 (T20) games that dominate the sport’s calendar, broadcasts and finances today. And it was all sparked by Melbourne’s oft-criticised weather, some worried bean-counters, and a bright idea. Jeff Chiu/AP, Andrew Cornaga/AAP, Petros Kardijias/AP…
Republic of Ireland midfielder Jamie McGrath says he expects the controversy surrounding the side’s upcoming Israel fixtures to “heat up” after Thursday’s friendly win over Qatar was disrupted.

The Los Angeles Chargers know they’re in for a crucial season. It’s the third year of the Jim Harbaugh era, with his team coming off of consecutive 11-win seasons since becoming head coach. Most teams would sign up for that sort of success in the regular season, there’s no doubt about that.Then why is there still a sense of desperation around the Chargers’ building? That regular season success just doesn’t translate to the postseason, as the Bolts have been bounced in the Wild Card round twice under Harbaugh. It’s honestly remarkable how they managed to get into the playoffs last…
A dramatic night began with Gerwyn Price forcing Littler to show why he is the world number one in the first semi-final. Littler looked home and dry after walking off the stage at the interval with a 6-4 lead before putting three more legs on the board. But Price’s response was superb.

Littler took control of it with a 180, before landing double 16 to seal his spot in a third Premier League final. While he was able…
