I have always thought the contributions of Ohio State's Kennedy Cambridge were underappreciated – mostly because her sister's offensive game dominates so many headlines. But if Kennedy does what Jaloni Cambridge predicts, she'll get headlines of her own. www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

Kirill Marchenko in his debut for the Maple Leafs, a 3-2 loss to the Canadiens: Four shots, a secondary assist (48 seconds into the game), two hits, one giveaway a plus/minus of +1 in 20:08 of ice time.

A cheat sheet for anyone who has trouble confusing teams: 🏒 Blues (St. Louis), Blue Jackets (Columbus) are different ⚾ White Sox (Chicago), Red Sox (Boston) are different 🏈 Jaguars (Jacksonville), Panthers (Carolina), Bengals (Cincinnati) are different 🟢 Ohio, Ohio State are different

Honestly, it really bothers me when sleep experts say to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, like they honestly don't understand that some people have jobs that make that impossible.

Higgins just made a ridiculous catch while falling backward into the end zone with a defender on his back.

The #CBJ hasn't given a defined timeframe for Elvis Merzlikins' return from shoulder surgery, and it's starting to feel like he might not play for them again while in the final year of his contract. Putting his house up for sale feels like another sign. www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

I feel like there's something off about the Apple TV blurb on the upcoming Columbus Crew game, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

CUCHO HERNANDEZ? REALLY, APPLE?
Lionel Messi and Inter Miami CF visit the Columbus Crew on Sunday Night Soccer presented by Continental Tire on September 27 at 7:00 PM ET at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field. Miami’s star-studded lineup also features striker Luis Suárez and midfielder Rodrigo De Paul, while the Crew will look to Cucho Hernández, who recently helped lead Columbus to the U.S. Open Cup Final on October 21. Jake Zivin, Taylor Twellman and Andrew Wiebe will lead the English broadcast, with Sammy Sadovnik, Diego Valeri and Antonella Gonzalez on the Spanish broadcast.

Wondering what the inside of those medical tents on the football sidelines look like? There's surprisingly little to them.

If you're pre-writing an obit for Deshaun Watson's NFL career today, please, remember to avoid writing "accused of sexual assault during massages." The last two words there are absolutely irrelevant. The career of the accuser doesn't matter.

Said at halftime that the Bengals game was feeling like Ohio State-Texas. Cincinnati's disruptive defense was forcing turnovers at a rate that was unlikely to continue, and the offense seemed to be performing well enough but felt like it was leaving points on the table. I hope this post ages poorly.

I'm not unique in making this observation, but, boy Ohio State coach Ryan Day's losses all rhyme, don't they? A crucial missed field goal, a previously strong defense that melts late in the game, and an offense that turtles – going conservative in both playcalling and personnel.
