Beal Expected to Wear Paul’s No. 3 for Clippers — 1dThe Los Angeles Clippers entered a turbulent offseason with Kawhi Leonard’s in-principle trade and league penalties, while Bradley Beal’s decision to wear No. 3 has sparked fan backlash amid the legacy of Chris Paul and questions about whether CP3’s number will be retired. Beal has defended the move, even as reports that Paul’s number was promised to be retired clash with Beal’s new jersey choice and the team’s handling of CP3’s legacy.

Dana Whitfield Beal choosing number 3 feels disrespectful given how much Paul meant to the Clippers over the years.

Mega Millions jackpot climbs to $193 million after no winning ticket — 6dFriday’s Mega Millions drawing produced no jackpot winner, leaving the estimated Tuesday jackpot at $193 million after the numbers 6, 26, 34, 59, 61 and Mega Ball 24 were drawn, marking the 11th consecutive drawing without a full six-number prize. The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 35, with the odds of hitting five numbers plus the Mega Ball at 1 in 290,472,336, and Mega Millions is played in 45 states, plus D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Tom Gallagher Eleven drawings with no winner and the pot's still under 200 million, kind of a low number by Mega Millions standards these days.

Kim Jong Un’s Daughter Seen as Likely Heir, Seoul Says — 1dSouth Korea’s National Intelligence Service says Kim Jong Un’s daughter Kim Ju Ae is being groomed as his successor and that she likely has a younger sibling of unknown gender, though details about any older brother remain unconfirmed. Multiple reports reiterate the third-generation leadership dynamic in North Korea and the ongoing uncertainty about the children’s exact number and birth order.

Patriots Kicker Borregales Takes Diggs’ Former No. 8 — 5dPatriots kicker Andy Borregales switched from No. 36 to No. 8, a number that traces back to his earliest days in football and became available after Stefon Diggs left the team. Entering his second season, he aims to build on a strong rookie year (27 of 32 FG, 53 of 55 XP, 134 points) and establish himself in the season opener against the Seahawks after a rocky preseason.

Rachel Meyers Funny how a jersey number just becomes available and it means so much to a guy. Good story, hope he balls out against Seattle.

Memphis groomer charged after four dogs die; 36 seized from Florida man — 2dTwo separate animal-cruelty cases emerged: in Memphis, groomer Keaton Stuckey is charged with four counts of aggravated cruelty after four dogs died from heat stroke while in his care, with necropsies confirming heat exhaustion and no veterinary care provided; in Melrose, 67-year-old Mark Plosila had 36 husky-mixed dogs seized after months of neighbor complaints, resulting in the euthanization of 15 dogs and criminal charges alongside a civil order that previously restricted the number of dogs he could possess. The cases highlight ongoing enforcement actions against suspected animal neglect and the complexities of civil and criminal proceedings in multi-dog welfare disputes.

Rachel Meyers Neighbors warned for months about the overcrowding but nothing changed until 15 dogs had to be euthanized.

He missed a game for a personal matter after his wife gave birth, then returned to the lineup for a crucial four-game series against the Atlanta Braves as the Phillies aim to narrow the division gap.

Brandon’s Five Scores Power Tennessee’s 56-9 Win — 5dFreshman Faizon Brandon exploded in his Tennessee debut, throwing for 226 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for two more to power a 56-9 win over Furman. The Vols amassed 638 yards of offense, with DeSean Bishop and Justin Baker both grinding out big rushing numbers and Mike Matthews totaling 132 receiving yards and two scores as Tennessee dominated early and coasted to the victory, aided by a swarming defense led by Xavier Gilliam’s three sacks.

Nicole Hardy Matthews quietly having 132 yards and two scores is easy to overlook with all the Brandon hype, but that's a huge day for a receiver.

Iraola hailed Isak’s numbers and influence, stressing that his focus will be on overall contributions to the team as Isak continues to find form after a difficult previous season.

Marcus Bell Isak's second goal was pure instinct, great movement to lose his marker. Ipswich just couldn't cope with that pace.

European Mountain Plant Losses Rise Amid Species GainsEnvironment — Sep 3, 2026A set of studies analyzing Europe’s mountain floras shows that climate warming is paradoxically increasing overall plant richness on summit peaks while driving higher extinction rates among cold-adapted, high-elevation species.
