Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.  Controversial penalty decision gave Club Brugge a 2-1 win over Atalanta yesterday. The question was where was the Video Assistant Referee in the decision, why was an on-field review not recommended, these are not the types of incidents that we should want to see given as penalties, especially to decide matches. Take a look at it to see for yourself. Celtic trail 2-1 going to Bayern for the second leg, Benfica won 1-0 at Monaco, and Milan was disappointing in their 1-0 loss in the Netherlands to Feyenoord, a club that saw their best player join Milan in the transfer window.  Wild scenes at Goodison Park as a stoppage time equalizer for Everton gave them a 2-2 draw with Liverpool in the final Merseyside Derby in the old stadium. 4 red cards were shown after the final whistle, including one to Liverpool manager Arne Slot. 3 red cards shown for a brawl after the final whistle in a Carioca state league match in Brazil as Flamengo beat Botafogo to go to the top of the league, that fight continued into the tunnel.  Luciano Acosta's deal to Dallas is done for $5M and perhaps another $1M if certain conditions are met in performance. Cincinnati will take that money and add more to go get Evander from Portland, we'll see if they end up better or worse at the end of these deals. Either way, it shows the success of the cash-transfer mechanism in MLS already.  Vinicius contract negotiations with Real Madrid will dominate headlines for a while, especially if leaks keep happening about meetings with Saudi Arabian officials and talk of $1B contracts.  French football is in crisis again as DAZN has withheld some of their latest TV rights fee, that's going to court and will likely see soon the breaking of that 4-year contract that just started. Also, PSG's president has been indicted and Qatari officials are talking publicly about withdrawing investments in France including into the club and beIN Sports.  Foster Gillett is still in the news for not making payments on agreements, seller beware in Argentina if he's the buyer.  HS coverage continues tonight in the Creek Cup, listen at soccerdownhere.mixlr.com or by clicking the Listen button at soccerdownhere.net. Two matches starting at 6pm. More Espresso on Friday on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

Surely perfection is better than imperfection. But applying technology to improve decision-making can backfire. Listen as ed-tech innovator Daisy Christodoulou and EconTalk's Russ Roberts talk about the costs of seeking perfection when technology is used to improve refereeing in sports. They also talk about ways to embrace imperfection and how the economist Ronald Coase can help us understand the power of the rules of the game, both in sports and in life.

Norway is regularly listed among the "happiest countries in the world." It is one of the wealthiest too, and its not a country with revolutionary fervor. It's not France. It's not even Germany. Yet the Video Assistant Referee, known widely as VAR, has raised Norwegians' hackles. Organized fans have mobilized enough, and in enough forms, that the country's two professional leagues recently cast a majority vote to scrap VAR  - a testimony not only to true concern about the impact of VAR on games, a concern that I share, but also to the significant improvement in the quantity and quality of Norwegian soccer fanculture. It has made considerable strides in the land of skiing and handball over the last 10, 15 years. Why, and what to look for, in Norway's stadiums?I talked to Matt Guerney from England and Anker from Norway, who run the biggest Englishspeaking social media channel on Norwegian football to find out more - about the conflict around the VAR; but also more broadly: what cities and local cultures does the 1st league include, what derbies are there and why, the rise of organized Ultra groups in the last 10,15 years. HELPFUL LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE:Football Norway's X threads on the recent vote, the protests (fishcakes!) last season; thread on fan activities last Summer with lots of photosESPN covers the Norwegian VAR disputeA recent brief news report about the leagues' vote on foot.mundoNordic Stadiums with a list of stadiums, and a little groundhopping guideNEW: send me a text message!

Auf Deutschlands Grünflächen rollt der Ball wieder: Nicht nur die Fußball-Bundesliga ist seit dem vergangenen Wochenende zurück, auch das Dasein tausender Amateurkicker hat wieder einen Sinn. So blicken wir erneut wutentbrannt auf den Video Assistant Referee, der seit sieben Jahren Spieler, Trainer und Fans mit seinen rätselhaften Entscheidungen, seiner Intransparenz und seiner vorgegaukelten Objektivität quält. Außerdem verabschieden wir uns von weiteren 2014er-Helden und stellen fest, dass es doch noch authentische Gefühle und Emotionen im Millionen-Zirkus gibt. Viel Spaß beim verbalen Gebolze.

In der 229. Folge unseres Podcasts "DAB I Der Audiobeweis" sprechen Moderator Otto Rosenauer, Kommentator Martin Konrad und Sky Experte Alfred Tatar mit Austria Klagenfurt-Kapitän Thorsten Mahrer.

Was sind die Ziele des SK Austria Klagenfurt in dieser Saison? Und was für eine Zukunft kann sich der 34-jährige Verteidiger vorstellen?

In this episode, we dive into the controversy surrounding VAR's impact on the game. Join us as we share our thoughts on whether VAR enhances fairness and accuracy or disrupts the flow and excitement of football.

VAR, czyli Video Assistant Referee to narzędzie, które zrewolucjonizowało współczesne sędziowanie w piłce nożnej. VAR, wprowadzony w celu zwiększenia precyzji decyzji sędziowskich, budzi wiele emocji zarówno wśród kibiców, jak i samych piłkarzy. Czy technologia rzeczywiście pomaga w sprawiedliwym rozstrzyganiu spornych sytuacji, czy może wprowadza więcej chaosu na boisku? O wadach i zaletach tego systemu rozmawialiśmy z naszym gościem, jednym z dwóch kieleckich sędziów szczebla centralnego, znanym z boisk pierwszoligowych oraz ekstraklasowych - Damianem Gawęckim.

In questa puntata parliamo del VAR, il Video Assistant Referee, che ha cambiato il corso del calcio contemporaneo. Uno strumento pensato che facilitare il lavoro degli arbitri e per risolvere le situazioni più controverse; se da un lato il numero degli errori è effettivamente diminuito le polemiche sono sempre tante e rimangono diverse le situazioni in cui l'applicazione di questo strumento è poco chiara, confusa e spesso contraddittoria. In questa puntata, guardando a come viene usato il VAR in altri sport come il Football Americano, il Tennis, il Cricket e il Rugby proviamo a prendere degli spunti per migliorarne l'applicazione nel calcio e renderlo più armonioso con questo sport. E poi le notizie della settimana, dal fenomeno Sinner che ha fatto innamorare l'Italia alle ATP Finals di Torino fino al Gran Premio di Formula Uno a Las Vegas, passando per l'incredibile sconfitta dell'India nella finale ai mondiali di Cricket e alcune storie rapide che riguardano Rubiales, l'Union Berlin e Alex Schwazer.

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by returning guests Lee McQueen, Patrick Tyrant and Frank Major as Tottenham came from behind twice to secure a hard-earned point in the north London derby against Arsenal in a thriller at Emirates Stadium. In a relentless encounter, Arsenal took the lead after 26 minutes when Bukayo Saka's shot was deflected into his own goal by Spurs defender Cristian Romero. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had made the big decision by keeping David Raya in of goal ahead of Aaron Ramsdale and he justified that faith with two fine saves from Brennan Johson as Spurs went in pursuit of an equaliser. Raya should have done better, however, when Spurs levelled three minutes before half-time. He could only claw away a cross allowing an attack to continue, ending with James Maddison crossing for Son Heung-min to equalise with a deft finish. Arsenal restored their lead after 54 minutes when Romero was penalised for handball following the intervention of the Video Assistant Referee, Saka scoring from the spot. Spurs, illustrating their new positive approach under manager Ange Postecoglou in his first north London derby, were back on terms almost instantly when Jorginho, as a half-time substitute for the injured Declan Rice, lost possession to Maddison, who played in Son for another cool finish.

Woche für Woche stöhnen in der ganzen Schweiz Fussballfans auf: Mal greift er ein, wenn er das sicher nicht tun sollte. Mal bleibt er stumm - und niemand weiss warum. Der VAR, kurz für Video Assistant Referee, wird seit vier Jahren in der Schweizer Fussballliga eingesetzt.Von Beginn weg waren die Fans unzufrieden mit der Leistung des VARs. Als elektronische Unterstützung sollte er den Schiedsrichtern bei kniffligen Spiel-Entscheiden die Arbeit erleichtern. Doch immer wieder kommt es zu umstrittenen Urteilen.Warum ist der Widerstand im Fussball so gross, während in anderen Sportarten selbstverständlich elektronische Hilfsmittel eingesetzt werden? Und was sagt der Ärger über den VAR über diejenigen aus, die sich ärgern? Darüber spricht Florian Raz, Sportredaktor und Moderator des Fussball-Podcasts «Dritte Halbzeit», in einer neuen Folge des täglichen Podcasts «Apropos».

5 VAR Rules That Need To Be Fixed Immediately! The Video Assistant Referee was first introduced to provide clear-cut decisions on games and was seen as the next big step in making football great. First used at the 2018 World Cup, it showed plenty of promise but ever since has become one of the most controversial aspects of our game. You'd be hard-pressed to find a weekend of football in any league that lacks VAR drama nowadays and it only seems to be getting worse. Many people just want it gone while others feel that just a few tweaks can make it seamless. Today we're here to talk about 5 such tweaks to the system that need to be enforced immediately.

If you're not already familiar with VAR, or video assistant referee, during the 2022 World Cup you're about to become very familiar with it. Refereeing with video replay can mean overturning goals, ejecting players, and plenty of moans and cheers. This time, VAR is back with semi-automation to determine if players are offside, with cameras and sensors tracking every limb on the pitch. When it was introduced for the first time at a World Cup in 2018, it changed the tournament – with passionate disagreement about whether that was for better or for worse. So what does VAR have in store for this World Cup? In this episode:  Tony Karon (@TonyKaron), editorial lead at AJ+ Abdulla al-Marri (@Referee_Qtr), World Cup video assistant referee  Episode credits: This episode was produced by Alexandra Locke with Negin Owliaei and our host Halla Mohieddeen.

VAR, or Video Assistant Referee, has been a controversial subject since its introduction to world football, and other sports have a version of video replay as well. Why is video replay such a controversial thing? What does it make better? And is there anything video replay makes worse? This week, we discuss: The US Open has been an amazing tennis tournament, and Chad and John catch up on all the headlines from New York (9:40). In many ways, this tournament has been a passing of the torch, and we look at the players who will carry tennis forward to the next generation. For the big story this week, we look at video replay (21:48). From the beginning of its implementation, to its effectiveness at getting decisions right, to how fans feel about its use, we look at the topic from every angle. Finally, we recap and review Episode 3 of The Rings of Power, our favorite of the three episodes so far (48:45). What are we starting to learn about the state of the world at this time in Middle Earth? We also suggest who we think will emerge as the primary protagonist in the story. As always, make sure to share this episode if you enjoyed it, and give us a follow on all our social media platforms!

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Minnesota Twins 4, Detroit Tigers 1 Chicago White Sox 4, Kansas City Royals 1 Chicago Cubs at St. Louis Cardinals, Postponed Twins 4, Tigers 1 – Jorge López gets 1st save with Twins in 4-1 win over Tigers Trade acquisition Jorge López earned his first save with his new team, newcomer Sandy León drove in two runs and the Minnesota Twins beat the Detroit Tigers 4-1. Carlos Correa and Gio Urshela added RBIs for the Twins, whose lead in the American League Central starting the day was one game over Cleveland. Entering to a nice ovation, López, an All-Star acquired Tuesday from Baltimore, earned his 20th save of the season with a 1-2-3 ninth inning. He needed just seven pitches, including a three-pitch strikeout of Eric Haase. White Sox 4, Royals 1 – Lance Lynn, Jose Abreu lift White Sox over Royals 4-1 Lance Lynn threw four-hit ball over six innings, Jose Abreu homered for the second consecutive game and Eloy Jiménez hit three singles as the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 4-1. Lynn struck out eight for the third time this season while not walking a batter for the third time in his last four starts. Rookie Bobby Witt Jr. snapped Lynn’s shutout bid by hitting a home run with one out in the sixth. The White Sox won for the third time in four games while remaining two games behind the Twins and one behind the Guardians in the AL Central. The Royals fell for the seventh time in nine games. Cubs at Cardinals, PPD – Cubs-Cards postponed; St. Louis’ new starters prep for bows Wednesday’s game between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals was postponed by rain, allowing the Cardinals to line up their newly fortified starting rotation. St. Louis added four pitchers in deals over the last several days, including left-hander José Quintana. He will make his Cardinals debut in the second game of Thursday’s day-night doubleheader. The twinbill was scheduled because of the rainout. Then, on Saturday, left-hander Jordan Montgomery will make his first start for St. Louis against his former team, the New York Yankees. New York dealt Montgomery to the Cardinals on Tuesday for outfielder Harrison Bader. Today Chicago Cubs (Stroman 3-5) at St. Louis (Mikolas 8-8), 1:15 p.m. – Game 1 Chicago Cubs (TBD) at St. Louis (Quintana 3-5), 7:45 p.m. – Game 2 Tampa Bay (Springs 3-3) at Detroit (Hutchison 1-4), 7:10 p.m.              WSJM/WCSY 6:50 Chicago White Sox (Cueto 4-4) at Texas (Ragans 0-0), 8:05 p.m. MLB – Los Angeles mourning death of Dodgers’ Vin Scully Flowers, candles and handwritten messages lie beneath a sign welcoming fans to Dodger Stadium at the main entrance on Vin Scully Avenue. Fans of all ages made their way to the ballpark and other points around Los Angeles to mourn the Hall of Fame broadcaster who died Tuesday night at age 94. Flowers and mementos decorated Scully’s star on the Walk of Fame. Moments of silence were held around the major leagues. The self-effacing Scully would have appreciated the tributes but would have likely found them to be “a little bit embarrassing.” That’s how he described the hoopla surrounding his retirement in 2016. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Last Night Atlanta Dream 91, Indiana Fever 81 Dream 91, Fever 81 – Howard scores 20 points, Dream hand Fever 15th straight loss Rhyne Howard scored 20 points, Cheyenne Parker added 17 and the Atlanta Dream beat the Indiana Fever 91-81. Atlanta ended a four-game losing streak and moved into a three-way tie for seventh in the standings. Indiana lost its 15th straight game. Atlanta led 64-34 early in the third quarter before Indiana battled back to get within single digits at 82-77 with 5:02 left. But the Dream scored seven straight points and led by at least nine the rest of the way. Aari McDonald added 13 points for Atlanta. NaLyssa Smith scored 21 points for Indiana. NCAAFB – Senators Tuberville, Manchin working on bill to tackle NIL Senators Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and Joe Manchin of West Virginia have requested feedback from college sports leaders to be used to craft a bill to regulate how college athletes can be compensated for their names, images and likenesses. Tuberville is a Republican and a former college football coach from the state of Alabama. Manchin is a Democrat from West Virginia who is friends with Alabama football coach Nick Saban. In a letter to Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey, the senators said their staffs have already begun drafting legislation. Sankey and Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff met with lawmakers on Capitol Hill during a lobbying trip in May. NCAAFB – Proposed NCAA transfer rule changes kicked back to committee The NCAA will have a committee conduct more research on a recommendation to allow Division I athletes to switch schools as many times as they want with immediate eligibility. The transfer rule proposals were among several that came out of the NCAA’s Transformation Committee and were moved along by the Division I Council two weeks ago. The board did adopt Transformation Committee recommendations that would allow schools to provide more financial benefits to athletes. The proposed changes to transfer rules also included implementing sport-specific windows when athletes could enter their names in the transfer portal and be immediately eligible the following year. MLB – Blackhawks face Wild in Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum on Oct. 2 Milwaukee will host an NHL game for the first time in more than three decades when the Chicago Blackhawks face the Minnesota Wild at Fiserv Forum, the home of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks. The Oct. 2 preseason matchup marks the first NHL game at Milwaukee since 1993. It’s the first time the Blackhawks have played at Milwaukee since facing the Los Angeles Kings at the Bradley Center on Dec. 1, 1992. The Bradley Center, the Bucks’ former home, hosted NHL preseason games and minor league regular-season games annually from 1988-93.  The Bradley Center was home to the Milwaukee Admirals of the International Hockey League and American Hockey League. NFL – Lions’ Hutchinson earning praise from teammates, coaches Detroit Lions rookie Aidan Hutchinson has been getting his work done on the field and quietly has been handling his business off it. Coming into training camp as the team’s second overall pick in the draft, it would have been easy for Hutchinson to assume he’d be given respect immediately from his teammates, but he’d rather earn it. That kind of attitude is not always a given with young players, especially ones drafted so highly. But coach Dan Campbell said that kind of attitude is “exactly what you want in a rookie.” NFL – NFL appeals 6-game suspension for Browns’ Deshaun Watson A person familiar with the filing told The Associated Press that the NFL is seeking an indefinite suspension of at least one year plus a fine in appealing a disciplinary officer’s decision to suspend Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson for six games for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter isn’t public. The NFL’s appeal gives Commissioner Roger Goodell or someone he designates authority to impose a stiffer penalty. League spokesman Brian McCarthy said it’s still to be determined whether Goodell or someone else will hear the appeal. NASCAR – Busch to miss 3rd NASCAR race with concussion-like symptoms Kurt Busch will miss his third consecutive race with concussion-like symptoms when he sits out Sunday at Michigan International Speedway. Busch was injured after crashing in qualifying on July 23 at Pocono Raceway. Ty Gibbs will replace him in the Toyota for 23XI Racing for his third drive in the No. 45. Gibbs finished 17th at Pocono and Indianapolis, but Michigan will be his first traditional oval in a Cup car. Busch has a waiver to hold his spot in NASCAR’s playoff field should he qualify. Headed into Sunday’s race at Michigan he does have a spot based on his May victory at Kansas. Golf – LIV – Mickelson, others sue PGA Tour over LIV Golf suspensions The dispute between the PGA Tour and the Saudi-funded LIV Golf series is now in the courts. Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau are among 11 players who have sued the PGA Tour in federal court in San Francisco. They are challenging the tour’s right to suspend them for joining the rival league. Three other players are seeking a temporary restraining order that would allow them to play in the lucrative FedEx Cup playoffs, the PGA Tour’s postseason, which begins next week. The lawsuit was expected as soon as the Saudi-backed league launched and PGA Tour players began taking signing bonuses to play LIV Golf. NCAAWBKB – UConn’s Bueckers suffers torn ACL, will miss upcoming season UConn says women’s basketball star Paige Bueckers tore the ACL in her left knee during a pickup game and will miss the entire 2022-23 season. UConn announced Wednesday that Bueckers suffered the injury Monday and underwent an MRI that evening. The school did not say where the junior guard from Hopkins, Minnesota, was playing when the injury occurred. Bueckers was the 2020-21 AP national player of the year. She missed 19 games last season with a knee injury. She returned to lead the Huskies to the Final Four, where the Huskies lost to South Carolina in the championship game. UConn said Bueckers will undergo surgery on Friday at UConn Health in Farmington. Curling – Slide over, bobsleds. Curling is coming to tropical Jamaica Some expat Jamaicans living in Canada are hoping to bring a new winter sport to their tropical homeland. The island nation was recently granted conditional membership in the World Curling Federation. That gives Jamaica a chance to send teams to international competitions. And the new national governing body hopes it will help spread the word in a country better known for sprinters, reggae and rum. Curling Jamaica President Ben Kong says the curlers are following in the footsteps of the Jamaican bobsledding team that made it to the 1988 Winter Games. The WCF says it’s the latest in a series of non-traditional curling nations to join. Soccer – England-US women’s game at Wembley sells out in one day England’s women’s soccer team is continuing to generate unprecedented fan interest following its European Championship victory, with its planned game against the United States at Wembley Stadium in October selling out in less than a day. The game pitting the European champion against the reigning world champion was announced on Tuesday by England’s Football Association and will be played Oct. 7, subject to England having secured World Cup qualification in September. The Lionesses’ official Twitter account posted an update early Wednesday that said 65,000 tickets had been sold in less than 24 hours. The team later said the game was sold out. It comes after a crowd of 87,192 saw the Lionesses beat Germany 2-1 at Wembley on Sunday. Soccer – Champions League to get new camera tech for offside calls The Champions League will use a camera-based system to judge tight offside calls in the group stage starting next month. The Semi-Automated Offside Technology was also approved last month by FIFA for the World Cup in Qatar. It uses multiple cameras to more accurately track players’ limbs and the point when a key pass is made. The technology promises faster and more accurate offside decisions than are currently made with the Video Assistant Referee system known as VAR. Controversial calls have often flared in European leagues where VAR officials draw on-screen lines over players for marginal calls.

Cubs at Cardinals, PPD – Cubs-Cards postponed; St. Louis’ new starters prep for bows Wednesday’s game between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals was postponed by rain, allowing the Cardinals to line up their newly fortified starting rotation. St. Louis added four pitchers in deals over the last several days, including left-hander José Quintana. He will make his Cardinals debut in the second game of Thursday’s day-night doubleheader. The twinbill was scheduled because of the rainout. Then, on Saturday, left-hander Jordan Montgomery will make his first start for St. Louis against his former team, the New York Yankees. New York dealt Montgomery to the Cardinals on Tuesday for outfielder Harrison Bader.

Fans of all ages made their way to the ballpark and other points around Los Angeles to mourn the Hall of Fame broadcaster who died Tuesday night at age 94. Flowers and mementos decorated Scully’s star on the Walk of Fame. Moments of silence were held around the major leagues. The self-effacing Scully would have appreciated the tributes but would have likely found them to be “a little bit embarrassing.” That’s how he described the hoopla surrounding his retirement in 2016.

The self-effacing Scully would have appreciated the tributes but would have likely found them to be “a little bit embarrassing.” That’s how he described the hoopla surrounding his retirement in 2016. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Last Night Atlanta Dream 91, Indiana Fever 81 Dream 91, Fever 81 – Howard scores 20 points, Dream hand Fever 15th straight loss Rhyne Howard scored 20 points, Cheyenne Parker added 17 and the Atlanta Dream beat the Indiana Fever 91-81. Atlanta ended a four-game losing streak and moved into a three-way tie for seventh in the standings. Indiana lost its 15th straight game. Atlanta led 64-34 early in the third quarter before Indiana battled back to get within single digits at 82-77 with 5:02 left. But the Dream scored seven straight points and led by at least nine the rest of the way. Aari McDonald added 13 points for Atlanta. NaLyssa Smith scored 21 points for Indiana. NCAAFB – Senators Tuberville, Manchin working on bill to tackle NIL Senators Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and Joe Manchin of West Virginia have requested feedback from college sports leaders to be used to craft a bill to regulate how college athletes can be compensated for their names, images and likenesses. Tuberville is a Republican and a former college football coach from the state of Alabama. Manchin is a Democrat from West Virginia who is friends with Alabama football coach Nick Saban. In a letter to Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey, the senators said their staffs have already begun drafting legislation. Sankey and Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff met with lawmakers on Capitol Hill during a lobbying trip in May. NCAAFB – Proposed NCAA transfer rule changes kicked back to committee The NCAA will have a committee conduct more research on a recommendation to allow Division I athletes to switch schools as many times as they want with immediate eligibility. The transfer rule proposals were among several that came out of the NCAA’s Transformation Committee and were moved along by the Division I Council two weeks ago. The board did adopt Transformation Committee recommendations that would allow schools to provide more financial benefits to athletes. The proposed changes to transfer rules also included implementing sport-specific windows when athletes could enter their names in the transfer portal and be immediately eligible the following year. MLB – Blackhawks face Wild in Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum on Oct. 2 Milwaukee will host an NHL game for the first time in more than three decades when the Chicago Blackhawks face the Minnesota Wild at Fiserv Forum, the home of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks. The Oct. 2 preseason matchup marks the first NHL game at Milwaukee since 1993. It’s the first time the Blackhawks have played at Milwaukee since facing the Los Angeles Kings at the Bradley Center on Dec. 1, 1992. The Bradley Center, the Bucks’ former home, hosted NHL preseason games and minor league regular-season games annually from 1988-93.  The Bradley Center was home to the Milwaukee Admirals of the International Hockey League and American Hockey League. NFL – Lions’ Hutchinson earning praise from teammates, coaches Detroit Lions rookie Aidan Hutchinson has been getting his work done on the field and quietly has been handling his business off it. Coming into training camp as the team’s second overall pick in the draft, it would have been easy for Hutchinson to assume he’d be given respect immediately from his teammates, but he’d rather earn it. That kind of attitude is not always a given with young players, especially ones drafted so highly. But coach Dan Campbell said that kind of attitude is “exactly what you want in a rookie.” NFL – NFL appeals 6-game suspension for Browns’ Deshaun Watson A person familiar with the filing told The Associated Press that the NFL is seeking an indefinite suspension of at least one year plus a fine in appealing a disciplinary officer’s decision to suspend Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson for six games for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter isn’t public. The NFL’s appeal gives Commissioner Roger Goodell or someone he designates authority to impose a stiffer penalty. League spokesman Brian McCarthy said it’s still to be determined whether Goodell or someone else will hear the appeal. NASCAR – Busch to miss 3rd NASCAR race with concussion-like symptoms Kurt Busch will miss his third consecutive race with concussion-like symptoms when he sits out Sunday at Michigan International Speedway. Busch was injured after crashing in qualifying on July 23 at Pocono Raceway. Ty Gibbs will replace him in the Toyota for 23XI Racing for his third drive in the No. 45. Gibbs finished 17th at Pocono and Indianapolis, but Michigan will be his first traditional oval in a Cup car. Busch has a waiver to hold his spot in NASCAR’s playoff field should he qualify. Headed into Sunday’s race at Michigan he does have a spot based on his May victory at Kansas. Golf – LIV – Mickelson, others sue PGA Tour over LIV Golf suspensions The dispute between the PGA Tour and the Saudi-funded LIV Golf series is now in the courts. Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau are among 11 players who have sued the PGA Tour in federal court in San Francisco. They are challenging the tour’s right to suspend them for joining the rival league. Three other players are seeking a temporary restraining order that would allow them to play in the lucrative FedEx Cup playoffs, the PGA Tour’s postseason, which begins next week. The lawsuit was expected as soon as the Saudi-backed league launched and PGA Tour players began taking signing bonuses to play LIV Golf. NCAAWBKB – UConn’s Bueckers suffers torn ACL, will miss upcoming season UConn says women’s basketball star Paige Bueckers tore the ACL in her left knee during a pickup game and will miss the entire 2022-23 season. UConn announced Wednesday that Bueckers suffered the injury Monday and underwent an MRI that evening. The school did not say where the junior guard from Hopkins, Minnesota, was playing when the injury occurred. Bueckers was the 2020-21 AP national player of the year. She missed 19 games last season with a knee injury. She returned to lead the Huskies to the Final Four, where the Huskies lost to South Carolina in the championship game. UConn said Bueckers will undergo surgery on Friday at UConn Health in Farmington. Curling – Slide over, bobsleds. Curling is coming to tropical Jamaica Some expat Jamaicans living in Canada are hoping to bring a new winter sport to their tropical homeland. The island nation was recently granted conditional membership in the World Curling Federation. That gives Jamaica a chance to send teams to international competitions. And the new national governing body hopes it will help spread the word in a country better known for sprinters, reggae and rum. Curling Jamaica President Ben Kong says the curlers are following in the footsteps of the Jamaican bobsledding team that made it to the 1988 Winter Games. The WCF says it’s the latest in a series of non-traditional curling nations to join. Soccer – England-US women’s game at Wembley sells out in one day England’s women’s soccer team is continuing to generate unprecedented fan interest following its European Championship victory, with its planned game against the United States at Wembley Stadium in October selling out in less than a day. The game pitting the European champion against the reigning world champion was announced on Tuesday by England’s Football Association and will be played Oct. 7, subject to England having secured World Cup qualification in September. The Lionesses’ official Twitter account posted an update early Wednesday that said 65,000 tickets had been sold in less than 24 hours. The team later said the game was sold out. It comes after a crowd of 87,192 saw the Lionesses beat Germany 2-1 at Wembley on Sunday. Soccer – Champions League to get new camera tech for offside calls The Champions League will use a camera-based system to judge tight offside calls in the group stage starting next month. The Semi-Automated Offside Technology was also approved last month by FIFA for the World Cup in Qatar. It uses multiple cameras to more accurately track players’ limbs and the point when a key pass is made. The technology promises faster and more accurate offside decisions than are currently made with the Video Assistant Referee system known as VAR. Controversial calls have often flared in European leagues where VAR officials draw on-screen lines over players for marginal calls.

Hur värvas en spion och vilka är de typiska varningstecknen? Hur blev Karl XIV Johan den svenska neutralitetens fader? Hur ska Formel 1-sporten bli klimat-neutral till 2030 och vad händer med tjusningen? Hur vet jag att den nya supertrevliga kompisen inte arbetar för främmande makt? På senare tid har både den militära underrättelsetjänsten MUST och SÄPO uppmanat allmänheten till vaksamhet. Tony Ingesson, fil dr och universitetslektor på Lunds universitet med inriktning på underrättelseanalys, förklarade hur det fungerar, vilka motiven är och pekar på typiska varningstecken.Sveriges 200-åriga neutralitetspolitik kan vara historia snart och därför uppmärksammar vi idag dess upphovsman, Karl XIV Johan. Dag Sebastian Ahlander, diplomat som skrivit flera böcker om den här tiden, berättar hur det kom sig att en fransk militär blev kung i Sverige, och varför det ledde till svensk alliansfrihet. Formel 1 lockar allt fler tittare och en förklaring till det är dokumentärserien "Drive to survive". Kanske lite överraskande så har Formel 1-sporten fattat beslut om att bli klimat-neutral till 2030. Vad betyder det för alla som älskar supersnabba bilar, avgaser och dramatik? Vi frågar Anna Andersson, motorjournalist. Valet närmar sig, och som vanligt finns det gott om valkompasser som osäkra väljare kan ta hjälp av. Men hur stor nytta gör en valkompass? Skulle en sådan kunna bli bättre på att fatta beslut än den mänskliga hjärnan? Johan Martinsson, docent i statsvetenskap och föreståndare för SOM-institutet vid Göteborgs universitet reder ut.

Oh no, we're at it again: talking VAR! Ugh. Dan, Jagg and Radley chat through football's uncomfortable mistress: the Video Assistant Referee. Aside from that, an AFCON update is conducted as we look at the Round of 16. We review Gameweek 23 from the Premier League, including wonderously whipped strikes, dodgy penalties and unexpected stalemates. Our usual Eish of the Week sees some emotional takes, another sacking and more Arsenal controversy. This is a fun one, so we do hope you enjoy!3:23 - Who Am I?5:48 - AFCON Round of 16 Chat20:30 - PL GW23 Review39:55 - Video Assistant Rubbish (VAR)?57:45 - Eish of the Week1:05:10 - FPL tips & tricks w/AayushFollow Aayush here: https://twitter.com/AayushPaul5Join our FPL league: https://fantasy.premierleague.com/leagues/auto-join/36ktsqYou can find us on the channels below:Twitter: https://twitter.com/EishFootballPodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/EishFootballPodApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1591577439Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2CSGnFWBLtsuapARfInuqcGoogle: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xODcxNTc1LnJzcw==Dan: https://twitter.com/idanknow05Radley: https://twitter.com/SosMartensJagger: https://twitter.com/jagger_mullerIf you could drop us a rating, we would be as eternally grateful as a budding footballer kicking their first ever football!

So that was 2021. A year we are all pleased to wave goodbye to (just like Neil's relatives after his extended Christmas stay). But what was it like for movies? In part one of our end of the year show, we spoke to some very special people about what films they liked. Now it is the turn of our review panel. Yes, our normal review panel of Darren, Graham, Jeff, Neil and Phil, have gathered to cast their critical eye over what happened in the film world and give their top five. Then Jeff, through a combination of magic, science and quantum mumbo jumbo collates everyone's list and comes up with a group top five. As you will hear, at least one member of the team is not happy with that and asked for the Video Assistant Referee to review the decision. As with football, we are still awaiting the result of their deliberation. However, we just couldn't keep you waiting any longer, so here is the show. You will find it no surprise to learn that this turned out like one of our standard review show. Neil admits he needs to watch more films, Darren reveals his extensive film list, and as an added bonus, tells us his Dash film of the year. Phil and Jeff finally agree to disagree over their tastes in movies while Graham came very close to following his true nature and picking a Mel Gibson film as one of his top five movies. You may be pleased to hear that this is a shorter show than is our norm. Jeff cut it short prior to his quick getaway, when he heard that listener Frank (the butt of many of his jokes this year) had flown in from America to have a little “talk” with the presenter. Hopefully Jeff is now well on the road to recovery and will be back in time for the next show – our year start spectacular, where it is not a good look to hand out awards when strapped in bandages and your jaw is wired together. That's it – a wrap for 2021. As we move into 2022, we at At The Flicks would like to say thank you to our listeners for staying with us this year, as we argued and championed various movies. We hope you have enjoyed the shows and we look forward to bringing you more next year in what we believe will be happier movie going times. For now stay safe. We will be there for you with an incredible schedule of shows in 2022 and beyond.

Will thinker lines help? and no more display VAR workers The Premier League, often referred to as the English Premier League or the EPL, is the top level of the English football league system. Contested by 20 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the English Football League. Seasons run from August to May with each team playing 38 matches The video assistant referee is a match official in association football who reviews decisions made by the head referee with the use of video footage and headset for communication. This is specifically in order to minimize human errors causing substantial influence on match results.

Today we take a deep dive into which cities should host the 2026 World Cup in USA/Canada/Mexico. We also spend a lot of time talking about what is wrong with Video Assistant Referee, who's at fault for it being broken, and what we can do to fix it.Topics Covered:Which cities should host the USA/Mexico/Canada 2026 FIFA World Cup? (LA, NYC, Dallas, Seattle, Atlanta, Miami, + more)How do we fix Video Assistant Referee (VAR)? Do we need to get rid of VAR, retool it? Is clear and obvious not clear and obvious?

Some may love it, some may hate it, but we all know VAR is here to stay. From controversial handballs to frustrating offsides, tune in as we cover the good, the bad and the ugly of our newest referee.

VAR has been one of the most controversial topics in soccer over the last few years. Many soccer traditionalists believe it takes away from the original spirit of the game and slows down the pace of play, while others see VAR as a step toward perfecting the game and reducing the mistakes made by officials. With Joe on vacation this week, Dylan and Rui sit down with returning guest Evan Rosa and first time guest Eddy Baptista to discuss all the pros and cons of VAR and how it can be improved moving forward.

Video Assistant Referees are the new Heath Ledger, Cristiano Ronaldo does Cristiano Ronaldo things, Zlatan lets his clothes do the talking, a couple of Americans might be getting new European clubs, and we take a moment to remember Tony DiCicco.

The ATW team returns after a week's break! We share where to find past ATW episodes (0:08), our social media links and recap Ep.10. We start the show reviewing the 2nd round playoff games in the NBA; GSW vs. Jazz (1:08), Spurs vs. Rockets (1:45), Cavs vs. Raptors (4:05) & Celtics vs. Wizards (:). We talked about the unstoppable juggernauts that are Warriors and the Lebron-led Cavs, IT's ascension into bonafide superstar status after his Tooth game, Spurs surprising no one by doing Spurs things, and try to figure out why the NBA seems to not bother with certain calls. We go over the sport stories making the rounds in Predict The Play (8:02). The team channel their inner Mystic Meg and give their takes on the future of Lonzo Ball's Big Baller Brand (8:24), manager Steve Bruce's rough press conference look (10:22), Wenger's reveal that he he let another wonderkid slip through his hands (11:56), Zlatan's next step (13:36), Neymar's dance with Lady Justice (15:17), Donald's wild transfer triangle proposal (16:58) and Christian Atsu's possible career trajectory. Our launch into our main topic for this episode, should football go all out with video assistant referees (VAR) (21:07)? Donald raises some concerns about adopting VAR (23:09) and presents a nightmare scenario and Cyril attempts to assuage his fears (24:35) by outlying specific instances and moments in the game that VAR will be called upon. With enough time still on the clock, the team butt heads on diving in football (32:42). Not everyone on the ATW team is fussy about players looking to take advantage of refs by simulating and exaggerating their fall and contact with opponents.
