One of the things that draws spectators to the U.S. Open Cup is the chance for underdogs to pull off an upset. This is a competition where lesser-known teams, who are often overshadowed by their larger, more well-off rivals, may dream big. What makes the Open Cup so special is that it gives underdog teams a shot at glory. It allows them to overcome obstacles in terms of money, health, and mindset to achieve goals that were impossible before. This year, one such story is unfolding in Indianapolis, Indiana, where Indy Eleven is on the brink of something truly special.

Angel Reese is in the middle of a phenomenal rookie season. It seems like almost every game she is breaking records. Reese accomplished an especially impressive feat on Friday night against the Connecticut Sun, becoming the first rookie since Shaquille O'Neal to record two 20-rebound games in a row, per Yahoo Sports.

Final roster cuts are approaching for the Dallas Cowboys, so players on the roster bubble have little margin for error from here on out. Mike McCarthy has decided to sit most of his starters in preseason, so there's been ample opportunity for young players and veteran journeymen to prove themselves. The wide receiver position in particular has been fun to track since training camp started.

With out-of-region games and inter-conference matchups, and even an old rivalry or two, Week 1 of the high school football season in Northern Kentucky is often as interesting and attractive as any all season. The 15 games for all 21 teams this weekend make that clear.

With the recent promotion of Luken Baker to the big leagues, another slugging first basemen in the St. Louis Cardinals system is moving on up, and it has been long overdue. Chandler Redmond is not one of the more well-known prospects in the Cardinals system, but he has worked his way up through the farm and has nothing left to prove in Double-A Springfield. Nothing has come easy for Redmond, his path to Triple-A has been hard-fought, to say the least.

At this point, the Matt Kuchar saga is the gift that keeps giving. Two weeks ago the veteran golfer, who has won nine times throughout his career, saw his remarkable FedEx Cup streak come to an end at the regular season-finale Wyndham Championship in North Carolina. Kuchar had made the FedEx Cup Playoffs every year since its inception in 2007 and came into the final regular season event knowing that a win would extend his incredible run for another year. Ultimately, it wasn't to be this time for Kuchar who made headlines not for his play on the course but for a bizarre decision he made.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it's over!. The Raiders preseason is officially behind us, which means that now we just sit through this weird two week lull waiting for the regular season to start. Cut down day is next week, though players will probably start getting cut as early as Saturday morning. Here's the first of what will surely be at least two looks at who played their way out of a job with the Raiders this preseason.

There may not be a stranger end to a former Nebraska football player's career than what we saw occur this week regarding Randy Gregory. Injuries are one thing. Aging out of the NFL happens all the time. But signing a free-agent deal and just not showing up? That's a new one, at least for former Huskers.

The Green Bay Packers' backup quarterback competition has been underwhelming, to say the least. Second-year Sean Clifford has struggled to protect the ball. Seventh-round rookie Michael Pratt is far from perfect and has a lot to learn, but he has outplayed Clifford throughout the summer, showing the potential to become a solid backup.

The Green Bay Packers will trim their roster to 53 players in less than a week. It's almost decision time. Despite having all of training camp and two preseason games to determine who makes the cut, the picture is no clearer at the backup quarterback and kicker positions. Nobody seems to want the jobs. Sean Clifford and Michael Pratt combined for zero points in the preseason loss to the Denver Broncos, while the Packers' kickers can't stop missing.
