New Packers Kicker, Brandon McManus, booted at 45-yard field goal as time ran out yesterday

in a 24-22 win over Houston.

Greenbase 4th straight victory included 7 lead changes, 3 turnovers left the Packers

behind 19-14 at the half, but the defense stiffened after that, linebacker Eric Wilson

had 2 of Greenbase 4 sacks, and the Texans quarterback CJ Stroud passed for just 82 yards,

Jordan Loves through 3 scoring passes, but was intercepted twice.

One of those TD passes went to running back Josh Jacobs, his first scoring pass in 213

NFL receptions.

The Wisconsin women's hockey team came roaring from behind to win 43 on Saturday in Minnesota,

completing a weekend series sweep.

The badgers had beaten their arch rivals in the border battle, 6 straight times, they

were trailing 3 to 1 before scoring 3 straight goals, Layla Edwards, Lacey Eden, Hannah

Halverson and Casey O'Brien on the back of the net.

Ava McNaughton had 26 stops in goal, Wisconsin brings its unbeaten record to LaBonne Arena

for a weekend series against Bemidja State starting on Thursday night.

Ohio State scored a goal in the first 21 seconds, then added the winner early in the third

period on Saturday at the Cole Center.

Quinn Finley gave his team a chance with 11-43 remaining, but Wisconsin fell short 2-1.

The buck-eye swept the series and dropped UW's record to 1-3 overall.

Coach Mike Hastings says the team was over 2 on power play and 1-1 on the penalty kill.

The badgers outshot Ohio State 29-20, but couldn't come up with the scores they needed.

It's non-conference action for Wisconsin next weekend when the team travels to meet the

University of Denver on Friday and Saturday.

The Sean Watson won't finish the season as Cleveland's starting quarterback for the

second straight year.

Watson ruptured his right Achilles tendon in the first half of Sunday's loss to Cincinnati.

His collapse triggered some Brown's fans to cheer as he laid on the ground.

The team says an MRI confirmed the rupture.

Brown said Watson will have surgery and that he is expected to make a full recovery.

It is his second significant injury in two seasons.

He broke a bone in his throwing shoulder last year.

The Brown side and Watson to a controversial $230 million contract in 22-22 as he dealt

with an off-field accusation of sexual assault brought by two dozen women in Texas.

The defending champion, Boston's Celtics, will open the new NBA season at home Tuesday

night against the New York Knicks.

According to the Bet MGM sports book, the Celtics are the overwhelming favorite to capture

the 2025 championship.

The Celtics Knicks match-up starts an opening night double header followed by Minnesota

at the Los Angeles Lakers.

That game will steal a LeBron James tie Vince Carter by playing in a 22nd NBA season.

It could be the first official game and it's a father and son our teammates with Brony

James entering his rookie season.

Milwaukee Bucks will open their season at Philadelphia when they take on the 76ers on Wednesday.

Jalen Suggs has signed a five-year contract extension with the Orlando Magic worth an

average of about $30 million per season, a person with knowledge of the terms told the

Associated Press today.

The team announced the signings but did not disclose terms.

ESPN first reported the signing.

This is another step the magic are making towards locking up their young core on long-term

deals.

They signed Franz Wagner over the summer to a five-year extension worth at least $224 million.

The biggest contract in team history for now.

It will almost certainly be topped next summer when the 2023 NBA rookie of the year, Paolo

Banchero, is extension eligible.

The WNBA players union has decided to opt out of the current collective bargaining agreement

two years before its expiration.

The league and players union had the option to do so before November 1st.

The early opt out marks a crucial juncture for the league.

The WNBA signed a historic 11 year media rights deal worth $200 million a year.

The league had record attendance and viewership this year that culminated in the WNBA finals

that saw the New York beat Minnesota in a decisive fifth game yesterday.

WNBA president said this is a defining moment not just for the WNBA but for all of us who

believe in progress.

And Alabama's Mark Sears and North Carolina's RJ Davis headlined the Associated Presses

preseason all American men's basketball team.

Davis received all but one vote from a 55 person panel and Davis was right behind him

with 51.

They were joined by Kansas Big Man, Hunter Dickinson, Auburn Forward, Johnny Broom, Arizona

car guard, Caleb Love and Duke Freshman Cooper Flag.

Love and Flag tied for the final spot, creating a six man team.
