- Nebraska swept UNLV 3-0 at the Players Era Volleyball Showcase in Las Vegas (25-18, 25-15, 25-16).

- Nebraska now faces No. 2 Texas on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. PT — a matchup to watch.
The news, distilled into what matters.
- Lionel Messi scored four goals and set up another as Inter Miami crushed CF Montréal 7-1.
- He completed a hat-trick — the latest in his club career, bringing his total to 62 hat-tricks.
- The 7-1 result was Inter Miami’s biggest-ever win and the first time the club has scored seven goals in a match.
- 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan scored, becoming the first 16-year-old in MLS history with goal contributions in four straight matches.
- Philadelphia Union beat the New York Red Bulls 3-1, extending their unbeaten streak to seven and moving to 3-0-2 in August.
- Teenager Neil Pierre also scored (his fourth in seven appearances), highlighting the Union’s emerging young talent.
- Cowboys acquired OT Broderick Jones from the Steelers in a trade that sends Dallas’ 3rd- and 6th-round picks to Pittsburgh for Jones and Pittsburgh’s 2027 4th-rounder.
- Jones was the 14th overall pick in 2023 out of Georgia, started 38 of 45 games with Pittsburgh but had a season-ending neck fusion last year and has been rehabbing.
- The move highlights Dallas’ tackle worries — veteran Terence Steele hasn’t been consistent, Tyler Guyton is still developing, and camp preseason depth didn’t impress.
- Yankees rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. left Saturday's doubleheader with right-knee discomfort and is undergoing imaging.
- The 21-year-old, who homered in his big-league debut after joining the team Aug. 4, is hitting .253 with two homers in 23 games.
- He’s also struggled defensively—seven errors and errors in six straight games, the first Yankee shortstop to do that since 1915.
- Rain halted Saturday’s IndyCar race at The Milwaukee Mile after 90 of 250 laps; it will resume Sunday at 9 a.m. ET (second race still set for 1 p.m.), though a 40% chance of more rain could complicate the doubleheader.
- Alex Palou’s bid for a fifth IndyCar championship is postponed — he was 13th when the race stopped and didn’t clinch the title yet, so Sunday’s races will decide more of the picture.
- Pato O’Ward was leading at suspension (with Felix Rosenqvist and Alexander Rossi behind); if the race restarts in the morning teams can’t add fuel or change tires before the green flag, which could shake up the order.
