Dana White addresses Farid Basharat controversy following UFC exit: ‘There’s definitely a reason’ - MMA Fighting

The Blue Jays’ 5-1 loss to the Cardinals on August 2 dropped Toronto to 52-60, the kind of record that usually would’ve made a team a clear seller heading into the next day’s trade deadline.  For the Jays, however, the situation wasn’t quite so simple.  The Blue Jays came within two outs of winning the 2025 World Series and headed into 2026 still in full win-now mode, so the front office was loath to wave the white flag on the playoff race.  And, despite their mediocre record, the Jays were still in the wild card hunt, 4.5 games back of the Guardians for the final AL wild card slot. Toronto’s response was to both buy and sell at the deadline.  Some controllable players (i.e. Jose Soriano, Spencer Arrighetti, Josh Smith) were added to help the team both make a push this season and for the future.  Arrighetti was acquired from the Astros in a one-for-one swap for Daulton Varsho, who was one of several impending free agents the Jays sent elsewhere.  Besides Varsho, the Blue Jays also parted ways with Jeff Hoffman and Kevin Gausman, with the latter sent to the Cubs for prospects Brett Bateman and Ty Southisene.

A member of the Air Force has died from his injuries after he fell while attempting to rappel from the rafters of the Alamodome during a pregame demonstration before UTSA's football game against Navy on Saturday, the Air Force said. Nellis Air Force Base Public Affairs issued a statement saying the service member, who was assigned to the 6th Combat Training Squadron, Detachment 2, was injured at the stadium and died at a local hospital. The incident is under investigation. The Air Force base did not release the service member's identity. As part of a pregame ceremony for UTSA's annual Salute to Armed Forces & Veterans game, four officers were set to rappel down to the field 15 minutes before kickoff. The officer appeared to lose control while descending, sliding down the line and crashing to the turf. Medical personnel immediately attended to the officer, and he was taken from the Alamodome on a stretcher and transported to the hospital. "We are deeply saddened by the incident that occurred at the start of tonight's game," UTSA said in a statement. "Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the soldier who was affected, his family and his military colleagues.

PROVO, Utah -- The Big 12 says one second should have been placed back on the clock at the end of Saturday night's Notre Dame-BYU game, which would have given the Fighting Irish one final play to win. Big 12 officials ruled the game had ended after Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr threw incomplete to Jaden Greathouse in the end zone, giving No. 8 BYU a 28-24 victory. But replays showed the ball hit the ground with one second remaining, which would have given No. 2 Notre Dame another play on second down. "Following the Big 12's review of the final play of Saturday's Notre Dame-BYU game, it was determined that time remained on the clock when the ball hit the ground and the play was incorrectly cleared by the replay officiating crew," the Big 12 said in a statement. "The Conference will conduct a complete review of its end-of-game officiating process in advance of next week's games. "Since Notre Dame is an FBS independent, its games are officiated by the leagues of its opponent. Fighting Irish coach Marcus Freeman appeared to take issue with a non-pass interference call against BYU cornerback Evan Johnson but was not asked about a clock issue, describing the final play as "chaos.
