| New Zealand's All Blacks, the greatest rugby team ever, will have an unfamiliar label when the annual Rugby Championship kicks off today: underdogs. After losing four of their last five matches — including their first home series loss since 1994 last month — theAll Blacks have dropped No. 4 in the world, their lowest ranking ever. All four losses came against Ireland and France, now ranked No. 1 and 2, respectively. Today's match is against No. 3 South Africa. Per Axios Sports, the All Blackshave a record-tying three World Cup titles and they're the only international team with a winning record against every opponent. "We're desperate to perform against South Africa," saidAll Blacks coach Ian Foster. "There's a lot riding on it." |

| Auburn QB T.J. Finley was arrested and charged with attempting to elude police, a misdemeanor, on Thursday, the same day Auburn players were scheduled to report to campus for preseason camp. Finley was booked at a detention center on a charge of attempt to elude police. The charge stems from an earlier traffic violation in which Finley was cited for failure to wear a helmet while riding a moped. It was also one after Finley signed the first-ever NIL deal with online sales giant Amazon to sell his apparel. The Tigers opened practice on Friday. "He was here. We're aware of what's going on," head coachBrain Harsin said. If his brain was a banana he'd have turned it to mush. |

| The Los Angeles Angels have turned the practice of losing games they shouldn't lose into an art form. Usually it's something like "Ohtani tosses gem ... Trout goes 4-5, Angels lose." Now we've got some new material: "Angels hit historic number of solo shots, lose to MLB's second-worst team." The Halos hit seven solo home runs against the A's on Thursday, tied for the most in a game by any team all-time ... and lost 8-7. Teams who hit 7 HRs in a game are now 113-6 all-time. |
