League-wide, the gyms are open — and one of them is in Spain. Most NBA clubs opened camp Monday, Sept. 29. The Cleveland Cavaliers are the distinctive note today: camp begins Wednesday, Sept. 30 at The Embassy Training Center Higuerón in Andalusia, presented by Cleveland Clinic — an overseas base that has hosted Basketball Without Borders Europe. Meanwhile in Camden, the Philadelphia 76ers opened camp with their first full practice of the LeBron James era under Nick Nurse, who said coaching James “looked the same” as competing against him: really tough, really good. Preseason tips Oct. 3; the regular season follows later in October. For a DFW desk tracking the board, that means Macao-bound Mavs are already deep into camp while the rest of the league catches up.

Buffs radio — Coach Prime’s quarterback carousel just clicked into a name. CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reports Colorado is expected to bench Julian Lewis and start Utah transfer Isaac Wilson at home against No. 11 Texas Tech on Saturday. Wilson replaced Lewis in the second half of last week’s 23-13 loss to Baylor, throwing for 156 yards and a touchdown and helping erase a 10-point deficit before the Bears pulled away. Lewis, the prized reclass recruit, has averaged just 5.1 yards per pass against FBS foes. Sanders has been blunt that Lewis “ain’t there yet” as a leader. Wilson’s own tape includes a rough true-freshman year at Utah (10 TDs, 11 INTs) before backing up in 2025 and transferring to Boulder. Folsom hosts a Buffs team sitting 2-2 and 0-1 in the Big 12. For Colorado Football (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Colorado%20Football), the radio question: does Wilson’s spark travel a full game against a top-15 Red Raiders defense, or is this another short leash in Boulder...

Sic ’em listeners — the homestand’s over. Tempe is next. Baylor (3-1, 1-0 Big 12) hits the road for its first true road test Saturday, Oct. 3 at Arizona State, 9:30 p.m. CT at Mountain America Stadium on ESPN. The Bears just wrapped a three-game home stretch with a 23-13 win over Colorado and have held four straight opponents under 20 points — longest such streak since 2005, per BaylorBears.com. ASU sits 2-1 under Kenny Dillingham, fresh off a 24-17 win over Kansas in London. The Sun Devils lead the all-time series 2-0, including last year’s 27-24 walk-off field goal in Waco. Roy Philpott, Brock Osweiler, and Sherree Burruss have the ESPN call.

Friday Night Lights reset — Week 6 is a statement board across the Metroplex. The Dallas Morning News hot ticket is Denton Guyer at Denton Braswell, 7 p.m. Friday at Carrico Stadium. Braswell’s 4-0 start is one of the area surprises; Guyer is still viewed as the District 5-6A team to beat. Both defenses have held foes under 21 points per game. A Braswell win flips the district narrative overnight. Also circled: Frisco at Anna (Coyote Stadium) — Anna’s 48-ppg attack vs a Frisco defense allowing under 10; Flower Mound at Little Elm; Frisco Panther Creek at Prosper Richland; Highland Park at Richland; Euless Trinity at South Grand Prairie; Frisco Emerson at Celina; and more on the DMN board. Games tip Friday, Oct. 2 — scores come after the lights. For DFW High School Football (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/DFW%20High%20School%20Football), the radio question: does Braswell’s perfect start survive Guyer’s front, or does District 5-6A snap back to form?

Arlington, tonight’s the board. Win or winter. The Dallas Wings host Game 2 of their best-of-three first-round series against the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 8 p.m. CT at College Park Center, nationally on ESPN. Dallas trails 0-1 after a 104-80 Game 1 loss in San Francisco, when Golden State dropped a franchise-record-tying 18 threes and won the second quarter 37-11. Paige Bueckers scored 21 in her WNBA postseason debut. A Wings win forces Game 3 on Friday, Oct. 2 back at Chase Center (ESPN2). A loss ends the season for the No. 7 seed after a franchise-record 27-17 regular year. The Valkyries (32-12) have owned this matchup all year. For the Dallas Wings (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Dallas%20Wings), the radio question is blunt — can College Park rewrite the tape, or does Golden State close it out on our floor?

H illtop radio check — forget the sloppy tape for a second. Look at third down. Per SMU’s official notes ahead of Saturday, the Mustang defense has held opponents to 11-of-54 (.204) on third down — best in the ACC and No. 2 nationally. Pair that with an offense that has cleared 479 yards in every game and a quarterback, Kevin Jennings, who just became the school’s all-time leader in passing yards, touchdowns responsible for, and completions, and you’ve got a nationally televised ACC home date with real teeth. No. 21 / No. 19 SMU (3-1, 1-1 ACC) hosts Boston College (2-2, 0-1 ACC) Saturday, Oct. 3 at 11 a.m. CT at Ford Stadium on The CW. The Eagles are coming off a 21-14 loss to Virginia Tech. Series edge sits with SMU at 3-1, including last year’s 45-13 win in Chestnut Hill. For SMU Football (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/SMU%20Football), the radio question: can the third-down unit stay elite while Jennings keeps the fireworks on without the turnover hangover?

Arl ington, the offseason script just got clearer — and it isn’t “tear it down.” Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young, at Monday’s end-of-year presser, owned the 80-82 finish and the third straight October miss, then pointed the map: “We need to get younger. We need to get more athletic. We need to get more dynamic.” He rejected a rebuild, saying Texas will “reshuffle the cards,” and called out Wyatt Langford, Evan Carter, Kumar Rocker, and Jack Leiter as drafted pieces who still need to take the next step. Young also dinged the club’s road toughness — you can’t sit under .500 away from Globe Life and call yourself playoff-hardened — and said payroll clarity should come in the next month before free agency opens. CBA timing is on the calendar too; the front office is already mapping those four-to-five weeks. For the Texas Rangers (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Texas%20Rangers), the radio question writes itself: reshuffle with whose money, and which vet...

M avs Nation, the reboot has a slogan now — and Masai Ujiri isn’t whispering it. Speaking as Dusty May’s first camp rolls, the president of basketball operations told reporters the organization feels “a new energy” and is “trying to bring joy back to basketball in this city with this team,” per SI’s Dustin Lewis citing the Dallas Morning News. After the Luka exit, the Anthony Davis flip, and two straight playoff misses, that’s the radio line Dallas has been waiting to hear from the new front office. The on-court piece is still Flagg-and-friends under May, with Kyrie Irving back in the mix after the ACL layoff. But today’s beat isn’t another availability note — it’s the franchise messaging a mood change while the work happens behind closed doors.

L isten up, Dallas — the M.A.S.H. unit just got a Jerry Jones subplot. Owner/GM Jerry Jones told 105.3 The Fan the Cowboys have “conversations going on” about potential roster additions after a secondary that keeps taking hits. That comes as DallasCowboys.com’s Tuesday injury roundup laid out the damage: Jonathan Bullard is looking at three-to-five weeks with a calf, Jalen Thompson is out a minimum of four weeks and likely headed to IR with a designation to return, and Cobie Durant is unlikely to make the trip to Houston while he rehabs a hamstring. The one bright note? Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Shavon Revel (knee/ankle) is progressing and will be worked back into practice this week — with a shot, not a promise, for Sunday. DeMarvion Overshown has a practice opportunity after missing two; Malik Hooker may still need more time. The club has even worked out former Cowboy Juanyeh Thomas and others as Christian Parker’s defense scrapes for healthy bodies. Next up for the Dallas ...

League-wide reset: cameras on, practice gear out, storylines everywhere. Most NBA teams hit Media Day Monday and open camp practices Tuesday, Sept. 29. Dallas and Houston started early for overseas preseason travel. The headline carousel: LeBron James begins his Philadelphia chapter (24th season), Giannis Antetokounmpo talks Miami after the trade, Kawhi Leonard is back in Toronto, and Stephen Curry locked in a two-year extension to stay in Golden State. Not all news was celebratory — Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy said Kristaps Porziņģis is out indefinitely with an undisclosed health issue and will miss Hawaii camp, with no timeline but hope for a return “soon.” New coaches across the map (May in Dallas already rolling; Mosley, Sweeney, Jenkins, Splitter, Nori debuting Tuesday) add another layer.

Boulder, the headset drama is official — Coach Prime just put the QB room on notice. After Colorado’s 23-13 Big 12-opening loss at Baylor, Deion Sanders explained pulling starter Julian Lewis at halftime for Utah transfer Isaac Wilson. Lewis was 11-of-16 for 75 yards before the hook. Wilson was shaky, then settled in and sparked a long TD drive. Sanders took responsibility for the switch: “We gotta get going, we gotta score some points.” The Buffs are 2-2, 0-1 Big 12, stuck on third-down woes and a growing penalty problem that USA Today’s Buffaloes Wire flagged again Monday. Sanders told Wilson he doesn’t have to “be the man” — just distribute. Whether that means a full-time flip or a committee remains the week’s storyline.

Arlington, this is win-or-go-home energy on a Wednesday night. The Dallas Wings trail their best-of-three first-round series 0-1 after Golden State’s 104-80 Game 1 win at Chase Center. The damage report is familiar: a WNBA-postseason-record 37-11 second quarter, Valkyries 18-of-36 from three, and another chapter in a season-long Golden State hex (4-0 vs. Dallas in 2026). Coach José Fernández said the second-quarter pattern mirrored the regular-season losses. Paige Bueckers was brilliant individually (21 points on 9-of-10 in Game 1 per prior reports), but Dallas needs five on a string — ball security, keep drives in front, and guard the arc. Fernández said the club would take Monday off, watch film, and gear up. Game 2: Wednesday, Sept. 30, 8 p.m. CT at College Park Center, ESPN. Lose and the season ends. Win and it’s Game 3 Friday back in San Francisco. The Dallas Wings (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Dallas%20Wings) closed the regular season on a tear to grab the seve...

Victory Green, the exhibition fluff is over — Jim Nill just posted the first real roster card of 2026-27. On Monday the Dallas Stars announced a 21-player initial roster: 12 forwards, seven defensemen, two goalies. Jake Oettinger and Casey DeSmith handle the crease; the blueline features Heiskanen, Harley, Lindell, Bichsel, Myers, Lundkvist, and Capobianco. Up front it’s the usual heavyweights — Robertson, Rantanen, Hintz, Johnston, Seguin, Duchene, Benn — plus Joel Kiviranta as the listed offseason re-add. Five players hit Injured Non-Roster. Friday’s home opener vs. St. Louis (Oct. 2) gets the full AAC treatment: Victory Green Carpet Walk on PNC Plaza around 5 p.m. (fans can line up from 3), Party on PNC Plaza with live music, doors at 6:30, LED bracelets for the enhanced pregame, and a national TV slot on TNT.

University Park, the win is in the books — the film session might sting more than the scoreboard. No. 21 SMU (3-1) beat Missouri State 34-24 behind Kevin Jennings’ 33-of-39, 464-yard, three-TD night (school-record 21 straight completions), but Rhett Lashlee’s crew spotted the Bears a 10-0 hole on turnovers, missed two field goals, and failed an early fourth down. Nine turnovers through four games. Still haven’t won the giveaway battle against an FBS opponent. That math gets expensive in ACC play. Next: Boston College at Gerald J.

Arlington, the season’s over — now Chris Young just drew the offseason blueprint in big red letters. At Monday’s end-of-year presser at Globe Life Field, the Rangers president of baseball ops said the club must address “health, reliability, dependability.” Texas logged 34 injured-list stints in 2026, tied for most in the AL West. Corey Seager and Wyatt Langford started together just 76 times. Josh Jung missed 47 games on a lingering calf before a late hand fracture. Jack Leiter and Nathan Eovaldi each lost significant starts. Young also confirmed Seager (elbow bone spur) and Jung (hand fracture) are potential surgery candidates, with courses of action still being sorted. Danny Jansen may need a small hand procedure; Jacob deGrom’s prescription is rest. Young wants the roster younger, more athletic, and tougher on the road — and he emphatically said this is a reshuffle, not a rebuild, after an 80-82 finish and a third straight miss of October. For Texas Rangers (https://rfsportsradio.bl...

Mavs Nation, the ball is bouncing again — and Kyrie Irving is not easing in. After media day remarks that he’s under no physical restrictions following the left ACL tear that cost him roughly 19 months, Irving has been a full participant through the early Dusty May practices. Coach May said availability Day 2 looked basically the same as Day 1, with the staff still managing limited minutes for Santi Aldama (knee recovery) and keeping an eye on other maintenance pieces. This is the Masai Ujiri–Dusty May reboot after last year’s 26-56 slog. Cooper Flagg and Irving are already being framed as the offensive pairing to watch, and May is preaching “mastery shots” — using what guys do best instead of spreadsheet purity.

Listen up, Dallas — the Rio hangover just got worse. Cowboys co-owner/COO Stephen Jones told 105.3 The Fan on Monday that starting safety Jalen Thompson is looking at four-plus weeks after a hamstring injury suffered in the Week 3 loss to Baltimore. Jones also linked P.J. Locke to a similar multi-week absence, while saying the club is “very hopeful” Malik Hooker has a shot this week. That secondary that was supposed to be a strength? It’s next-man-up city right now. Jones noted Dallas kept six safeties on the 53-man roster for a reason — and they’re needing every one of them. Depth pieces like Markquese Bell, Alijah Clark, and company will get the call as Christian Parker’s defense tries to find an identity with bodies dropping.
