DENVER (AP) — Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle had a hard time describing what had just taken place after he delivered the crowning blow in perhaps the wildest game of the major league season.

Doyle hit a two-run homer with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to cap Colorado's stunning comeback from a nine-run, first-inning deficit in a 17-16 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.

"Honestly, pretty speechless," Doyle told reporters. "It's hard to put into words. Just so proud of everyone in this clubhouse, never giving up. Man, what a win."

Colorado won despite allowing nine runs during a first inning in which Pittsburgh's Oneil Cruz hit a grand slam and Andrew McCutchen had a three-run homer.

According to Elias Sports Bureau and MLB.com, the Rockies were the first team to win after giving up nine runs in the first inning since Cleveland did it in a 15-13, 10-inning triumph over the Kansas City Royals in 2006. Cleveland trailed that game 10-1 after one inning.

Back in 1989, the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Pirates 15-11 after falling behind 10-2 in the first inning.

The three other occasions in which a team won a game after allowing at least nine runs in the first inning came way back in 1884, 1896 and 1913.

"Getting down nine in the first, it's tough to come back from, but we kept the energy high," Doyle said. "We kept the fight in us. Oh my God, what a game."

Colorado scored one run in the bottom of the first, three in the third, two in the fourth and four in the fifth to cut Pittsburgh's lead to 15-10. The Rockies still trailed 16-10 before scoring two runs in the eighth and five in the ninth.

After Pittsburgh's Dennis Santana started the ninth by striking out Ezequiel Tovar, Hunter Goodman's 425-foot homer reduced the Pirates' lead to 16-13. Santana then walked Jordan Beck and allowed an RBI triple to Warming Bernabel.

Thairo Estrada singled home Bernabel before Doyle delivered a 406-foot shot to end the game.

The events in Colorado highlighted a night full of offense across the majors. According to StatsPerform, Friday marked the first time since June 23, 1930, that three major league games on the same day had at least 25 combined runs.

The Miami Marlins erased an early 6-0 deficit and scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth to beat the New York Yankees 13-12. The Milwaukee Brewers had 25 hits while trouncing the Washington Nationals 16-9.

The Sharpe brothers make history in Pro Football Hall of Fame

The Sharpe brothers make history in Pro Football Hall of Fame Jarrett Bell, USA TODAYAugust 2, 2025 at 8:01 PM Let's roll back the clock to Aug. 6, 2011.

- - The Sharpe brothers make history in Pro Football Hall of Fame

Jarrett Bell, USA TODAYAugust 2, 2025 at 8:01 PM

Let's roll back the clock to Aug. 6, 2011. That's when Shannon Sharpe delivered one of the most riveting induction speeches in the history of the Pro Football Hall of Fame with a bottom-line message for the ages.

"I'm the only football player that's in the Hall of Fame, and the second-best player in my own family," Shannon declared, prompting a standing ovation from the crowd and tears from his presenter and big brother, Sterling.

"If fate had dealt you a different hand," he added, speaking to Sterling, "there is no question, no question in my mind we would have become the first brothers to be elected to the Hall of Fame."

Shannon, who became the 267th Hall of Famer, propelled by the three Super Bowl rings he won with the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens, went on to urge the Hall of Fame's selection committee to take up the case for his brother.

"All I can do is ask in the most humblest way I know, is that the next time you go into that room or start making a list, look at Sterling Sharpe's accomplishments," he said.

Well, 14 years later and 31 years since Sterling was forced to retire after seven superb NFL seasons with the Green Bay Packers due to a neck injury, it has happened. Shannon and Sterling, who will become the 382nd enshrinee on Saturday, are the first set of brothers elected for busts in Canton.

Maybe there will be more. The Kelces, Travis and Jason, will be in the mix someday. The Watts, J.J. and T.J., could have a shot if the younger brother keeps up his pace. And a few months ago, Eli Manning, Peyton's younger brother, was a Hall finalist in his first year of eligibility.

Yet 25,000 men have played in the NFL since it was established in 1920 and it hasn't happened for a pair of brothers – until now.

What are the odds? In the case of the Sharpe brothers, three years apart, their distinction is underscored by their remarkable journey from rural Georgia, where they were raised by late grandparents, Barney and Mary Porter, challenged by poverty.

When I listened to the brothers on Shannon's "Club Shay Shay" podcast this week, reflecting on the conditions they endured growing up in a 1,000-square-foot cinder block home with cement floors and without running water, it added extra layers of appreciation for their achievements.

Shannon, whose loquacious persona propelled him to become a media megastar after football, is hardly dropping hyperbole when he calls Sterling's Hall of Fame election the "proudest moment of my life."

After all, Sterling – the hero and role model whose every word he hung on – once had the task of taking a young Shannon to the outhouse in the middle of the night.

Shannon, who gave his big brother his first Super Bowl ring, certainly did his best in keeping his brother's candidacy alive. I've been a Hall selector for nearly 30 years and in recent years when I'd reach out to Shannon to get his take on one NFL topic after another, he would routinely end the exchange with a reminder about his brother's worthiness for a Hall call.

The suggestions never came off as pushy, out of bounds or over the top and were nowhere in the ballpark of some of the campaigning for candidates that come our way as selectors. Instead, Shannon's efforts came off as authentic … even as he preached to the choir about Sterling's case.

That it wasn't automatic for Sterling – the first receiver to post 100 receptions in back-to-back seasons, an All-Decade choice for the 1990s with a "Triple Crown" milestone in 1992 – was a function of his injury-shortened career more than anything. It certainly helped Sterling's chances that Terrell Davis, Tony Boselli and Kenny Easley earned Hall status with their own injury-shortened careers, yet his case stood on its own merits.

Class of 2025 new Hall of Famer Sterling Sharpe is helped into his gold jacket by his presenter Class of 2011 Hall of Famer and his brother Shannon Sharpe, at Pro Football Hall of Fame Gold Jacket Dinner held at the Canton Memorial Civic Center Friday, August 1, 2025.

Sterling is part of a relatively small class that includes cornerback Eric Allen, defensive end Jared Allen (no relation to Eric) and tight end Antonio Gates, who has his own distinctive "first" with his honor. Gates is the only player chosen for the Hall of Fame who didn't play football in college, when he starred as a basketball player.

Shannon, though, has one regret about this long-awaited moment for his brother that underscores the twists and turns of life. On Wednesday, The Athletic reported that ESPN won't be bringing Shannon back to the network for his role on the popular "First Take" show – dumping the former tight end who was suspended since April, when a former romantic partner filed a civil suit that alleged sexual assault and battery, seeking $50 million in damages. The suit was recently settled out of court.

Talk about tough timing. Shannon's big brother finally gets his Hall call … while news emerges about his personal setback.

"They did what they feel they needed to do and I'm at peace with that," Shannon said on Wednesday night on "The Nightcap" podcast he hosts with former NFL receiver Chad Johnson. "But I just wish thing could have waited until Monday because I hate the fact that I'm overshadowing my brother."

Then again, it's a different type of fate. The timing is another element of the moment.

Shannon needs not sweat it. Not now. Generations from now, the legacy of the Sharpe brothers reflected with their busts in Canton will reflect their impact as two of the greatest players who ever played pro football.

And given the journey that includes Sterling's extended wait, a lot of peace comes with that.

Sig Sauer must face ICE officer's lawsuit over accidental gun firing

- - Sig Sauer must face ICE officer's lawsuit over accidental gun firing

Jonathan StempelAugust 2, 2025 at 2:05 AM

By Jonathan Stempel

(Reuters) -A U.S. appeals court on Friday revived a lawsuit seeking to hold firearms maker Sig Sauer liable to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who was injured when his P320 gun went off accidentally during a training drill.

The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia said a trial judge erred by dismissing Keith Slatowski's lawsuit after excluding testimony from two experts about whether the gun's design could cause injury.

Sig Sauer and its lawyer did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The company has faced several lawsuits over alleged unintentional P320 firings.

Slatowski's gun discharged from within its holster after his hand hit the grip in September 2020 at a New Castle, Delaware firing range. A bullet went through his upper right hip and out his thigh.

While unsure whether debris or the holster itself caused the trigger to depress, the former Marine said the lack of an external safety to prevent unexpected firings made his gun unsafe. Slatowski sought $10 million in damages.

Writing for a three-judge appeals court panel, Circuit Judge Stephanos Bibas said the trial judge properly excluded testimony from the two experts about whether Slatowski's gun caused his injury, because they hadn't done testing.

But the appeals court said testimony about possible design flaws should have been admitted.

It returned the case to U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick in Philadelphia for a possible trial.

"The P320's design is technical and probably needs explaining," Bibas wrote. "From there, ... Slatowski must rely on his lay eyewitness testimony. It may not prove persuasive. But that is up to the jury, not the judge."

Slatowski's wife is also a plaintiff. Their lawyer Robert Zimmerman said in an email: "Our clients are thankful for the opportunity to present their case to a jury."

The case is Slatowski et al v Sig Sauer Inc, 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 24-1639.

Tyler Dragon, USA TODAY August 2, 2025 at 7:44 AM

Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested after an alleged incident at the Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, according to a police report obtained by USA TODAY Sports.

According to the report, Richardson was arrested for domestic violence on Sunday.

Richardson and a male companion were involved in a verbal altercation as they exited through airport security, the police report states. Richardson allegedly pushed the man and he fell into a nearby column, according to the Seattle Police Department.

According to the report, police viewed airport security footage, and the video allegedly showed the man attempting to walk away from Richardson, but she continued to bump into him. Police also say Richardson threw a pair of headphones at the man.

Richardson was booked at the South Correctional Entity in Des Moines, Washington, on Sunday and released on Monday, jail records show.

"We are aware of the report and we have no comment at this time," USA Track and Field said to USA TODAY Sports.

Richardson ran a 11.07 and finished second in her heat in the 100 meters to advance to Friday's semifinal at the U.S. track and field championships. Richardson later withdrew from the 100 semifinal but has decided to run in the 200 on Sunday, according to USA track and field.

The U.S. championships serves as a qualifing meet for the world championships. Richardson has a bye into the 100 at this year's world championships because she is the defending champion.

Richardson earned a silver medal in the 100 at the 2024 Paris Olympics. She was also a part of Team USA's gold-medal winning 4x100-relay team.

Richardson is one of the most recognizable American track and field athletes. She won the 100 meters at the 2020 Olympic trials but was later suspended for testing positive for marijuana and didn't compete at the Tokyo Olympics.

Charna FlamAugust 2, 2025 at 12:42 PM

Paramount Pictures (2)

Liam Neeson and O. J. Simpson in "The Naked Gun"

Akiva Schaffer is directing the latest iteration of the popular police movie, The Naked Gun

The comedy creator was tasked with following the franchise's storied legacy, while still acknowledging the fresh cast

To do so, Schaffer said the new film needed to acknowledge O.J. Simpson's previous role in the original films

The Naked Gun is making a comedic reference to all of its previous stars, including controversial athlete O.J. Simpson

Director Akiva Schaffer confessed to The Hollywood Reporter that when people learned he was taking on the newest iteration of the spoof franchise, he was immediately asked about what he would do about Simpson's Naked Gun character, Detective Nordberg. The late athlete starred in the 1988 original, plus the sequels in 1991 and 1994.

"When I first told friends, 'Hey, I'm actually about to write a Naked Gun,' they'd go, 'What are you going to do about O.J?' So, right away, I was like, 'Oh, right. That's the elephant in the room that has to be addressed,' " he recalled for the outlet. But he confessed they only needed one joke to address audience questions.

Paramount Pictures

O.J. Simpson, The Naked Gun

Schaffer, 47, admitted that after writing the initial joke acknowledging Simpson's character, he and the writers "never wrote another O.J. joke."

The sole Simpson joke appears in the film's trailer, as stars Liam Neeson Frank Drebin Jr. and Paul Walter Hauser pay tribute to framed photos of their late parents in a police Hall of Legends. It then transitions to a framed portrait of Nordberg (Simpson), before cutting to his son Nordberg Jr. (Moses Jones) breaking the fourth wall and shaking his head in appallment.

"We just went, 'Yep, that takes care of that,' " Schaffer said. "I didn't know that the joke would kill as hard as it did at our first test screening. If I had known that, then maybe I would've written other jokes," he continued.

"But you want to be respectful of everything that revolves around him, so it's not something I really took glee in. We just had to acknowledge it in a way we thought was not dancing on anybody's misfortunes," he said, seemingly referencing Simpson's infamous 1995 murder trial for the homicides of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ron Goldman.

Unique Nicole/Getty for Paramount Pictures

He also explained that he and the team "didn't get pushback or anything."

"On the edgy jokes, people would go, 'Ooh, I don't know.' And I'd be like, 'Don't worry. The movie is going to be 85 minutes. A fourth of the script is getting cut. Anything that doesn't work is going to be cut,' " he explained. "So that's the way I made everyone relax all the time." (The film was intended to be 85 minutes long to mirror the original two films' runtimes, but is ultimately 83 minutes.)

The movie, produced by Seth MacFarlane, is based on the Jim Abrahams and David Zucker and Jerry Zucker franchiseThe Naked Gun, which originally starred Leslie Nielsen as self-serious detective Frank Drebin, who managed to rise through the ranks of the police squad.

In the new film, Neeson stars as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., son of Nielsen's character, as he follows in his father's footsteps. The cast includes Hauser, Pamela Anderson, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu and Danny Huston.

Antonio Brown, at court-mandated appearance for bankruptcy case, downplays rich lifestyle

Antonio Brown, at courtmandated appearance for bankruptcy case, downplays rich lifestyle Tom Schad, USA TODAY August 2, 2025 at 4:34 AM In social media posts, Antonio Brown has appeared to be living a life of luxury in the United Arab Emirates.

- - Antonio Brown, at court-mandated appearance for bankruptcy case, downplays rich lifestyle

Tom Schad, USA TODAY August 2, 2025 at 4:34 AM

In social media posts, Antonio Brown has appeared to be living a life of luxury in the United Arab Emirates.

In a court-mandated appearance as part of his bankruptcy case, however, he said the reality is different.

Brown fielded questions about his finances and social media activity during an Aug. 1 meeting of creditors in his Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, downplaying the lavish lifestyle that he has appeared to be living in Dubai over the past seven weeks. The former NFL wide receiver said he does not have any cryptocurrency accounts, does not own any jewelry, does not own any of the expensive sports cars that he has been seen driving in social media posts and is not paying rent in the United Arab Emirates.

"I'm actually staying out here with some people, brother," Brown said when asked about his living arrangements.

The 37-year-old declined to specify who owns the property at which he has been staying or who is paying the rent, but he said the person is not an American citizen.

Attempted murder charge. Bankruptcy. Music. The bizarre post-NFL life of Antonio Brown

Brown also indicated that he could soon return to the United States, where he has a warrant out for his arrest after being charged with attempted second-degree murder on June 11. The charge stems from an alleged altercation outside an amateur boxing event on May 16 in Miami.

"Hopefully, yes," Brown said, when asked if he planned to return to the U.S. at some point in the near future.

The question came in the context of scheduling, as Brown will be asked to sit for a deposition in the bankruptcy case. Because he has an active warrant out for his arrest, he likely would be detained by Customs and Border Protection upon returning to the U.S.

A State Department spokesperson declined comment earlier this week when asked by USA TODAY Sports if Brown could be extradited from the United Arab Emirates. The spokesperson cited the department's longstanding policy to not comment on the possible existence of extradition requests.

Brown filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2024, according to court records, and his case has since been converted to Chapter 7 − a form of bankruptcy in which the court can seize assets and garnish wages to repay creditors. The longtime Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver, who publicly estimated that he made more than $100 million during his NFL career, now owes more than $3.5 million to a handful of creditors.

Brown was ordered to appear at Friday's meeting of creditors, which is also known as a 341 meeting, after previously failing to provide the necessary financial documents to the U.S. trustee overseeing his case, Leslie Osborne. Brown joined the meeting several minutes late from what appeared to be a Dubai hotel room.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown in 2018.

Meetings of creditors are not court hearings and they are not overseen by a judge. But they nevertheless play an important role in the early stages of the bankruptcy process, requiring debtors to answer questions about their finances under penalty of perjury. Friday's meeting was open to members of the public.

Osborne's attorney, D. Brett Marks, asked Brown several questions about his life in Dubai and some of his activity on social media, including a June 26 post on X in which the former NFL wideout posted a screenshot of an account balance exceeding $24 million with the caption "bankrupt over." Brown replied that it was an old post and he does not have an account with $24 million.

Brown also offered unclear answers when asked about how he is making money and paying for his current lifestyle. When asked about video clips of himself driving luxurious sports cars that he has posted on social media, he denied owning any cars in the United Arab Emirates, then suggested that such clips might have been manufactured by artificial intelligence. Upon further questioning, Brown said he sometimes has access to sports cars as part of a promotional arrangement with a rental car company.

Report: Former NFL WR Antonio Brown facing attempted murder charge in Florida

Osborne, the trustee tasked with helping Brown pay off his debts, said at the start of the meeting that he had received only two of the requested bank statements from the seven-time Pro Bowler. Brown told Osborne that he would work with his attorney to provide the requested documents − including the original deed of one of the houses he owns in Florida, which could be put up for sale to pay off some of Brown's debts.

At the most recent court hearing in Brown's bankruptcy case, on July 24, judge Peter Russin said Brown's case would be "hanging in the balance" if he did not provide financial documents and follow the court's rules.

"I really want to explain to him that he's got his future in his own hands," Russin said during the hearing. "He can resolve all these things very simply just by doing what he's obligated to do anyway, and leave here with his financial situation generally intact."
