Mauricio Pochettino has made his statement with the USMNT roster for September and October, and the headline writes itself — sixteen-year-old Cavan Sullivan of the Philadelphia Union is in, and Christian Pulisic is out.

Shifting to the hardwood, there's growing noise around San Antonio that the Spurs may be better served moving De'Aaron Fox rather than keeping him alongside Victor Wembanyama. The argument centers on pairing Wemby with a former Cavaliers two-time All-Star on a one hundred ninety-seven million dollar deal — someone whose shiftiness and off-ball IQ could unlock what this roster is truly capable of.
And over in Cincinnati, Joe Burrow is dealing with back tightness after the Bengals opened the two thousand twenty six season with a win over Tampa Bay, but Burrow says he expects to suit up Sunday when Cincinnati travels to Houston to face the Texans. Bengals fans can breathe — for now.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
