Buffalo Bills safety Micah Hyde will miss the rest of the 2022 NFL regular season due to a neck injury, Hyde’s agent announced Saturday. 

Hyde, who appeared in both the Bills' first two games this season, did not practice this week as Buffalo prepped for Sunday's game with the Miami Dolphins. 

"Unfortunately client Micah Hyde will be put on IR today due to his recent neck injury," Hyde’s agent said in a tweet. "Fortunately, we expect a healthy return for #23 in 2023."

49ERS SET TO GET BIG OFFENSIVE BOOST ON SUNDAY

Hyde suffered the injury during Buffalo’s 41-7 win over the Tennessee Titans Monday night and did not return to the game. 

"[Hyde and cornerback Dane Jackson, who is also dealing with a neck injury] both seem to be moving around or walking around or in the building here," Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday, according to ESPN. 

CHARGERS’ JUSTIN HERBERT SAYS HE’S A TRUE GAME-TIME DECISION SUNDAY

"And they're in there going about their business, trying to improve each and every day. Obviously not going to make this game. Other than that, I don't have anything else for you at this point. We're just going to work with them on their cadence and their timing at this point."

It’s a big blow for the Buffalo defense, which is second in the NFL in passing yards allowed through the first two weeks. 

Hyde is a 10-year veteran and has been with the Bills since the 2015 season. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2017 and has amassed 14 interceptions and 261 solo tackles in his six years in Buffalo. 

Future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols put on quite the show Friday night at Dodger Stadium, launching the 699th and 700th home runs of his incredible 22-year career. 

Pujols hit his 700th home run in the fourth inning off of Dodgers pitcher Phil Bickford, sending the crowd into a frenzy as Pujols became just the fourth player in Major League Baseball history to hit 700 home runs in a career. 

Pujols joins Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, and Babe Ruth in the 700-home run club. 

ALBERT PUJOLS HITS 700TH HOME RUN, BECOMING FOURTH PLAYER IN MLB HISTORY TO REACH FEAT

And while the world of baseball was celebrating the incredible feat, and as Pujols was drinking it all in, the question of who possessed the historic baseball came into question. 

Baseballs have been highly sought-after by fans of the game — becoming souvenirs for so many — and the 700th home run of Pujols’ career is one that will undoubtedly fetch a pretty penny.

ALBERT PUJOLS EMOTIONAL AFTER HITTING HOME RUN NO. 700: ‘IT’S PRETTY SPECIAL’

There are those who feel that the ball should be returned to Pujols, and those who believe the fan possessing the baseball has every right to hold onto it. 

For the fans who caught home run No. 700, they reportedly left the stadium with the baseball after having it authenticated, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. 

Asked whether he’s worried about getting the 700th home run ball back, Pujols says he has no problem with the fans keeping it. 

"Souvenirs are for the fans," Pujols said, according to the Orange County Register. "I don’t have any problem if they want to keep it. If they want to give it back, that’s great. But at the end of the day, I don’t focus on material stuff."

Pujols has 10 more regular-season games to add to his total before calling it a career. 

The three-time MVP and two-time World Series champion announced that he will retire after the 2022 MLB season. 

The St. Louis Cardinals hold a 7.5-game lead over the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central, and their magic number to clinch a playoff spot is four. 

As St. Louis Cardinals great Albert Pujols rounded the bases at Dodger Stadium for the second time Friday night, his emotions were obvious. 

Pujols, who hit home runs No. 699 and 700 Friday, became just the fourth player in Major League Baseball history to hit 700 in a career, joining Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth. 

Pujols’ historic home run came in the fourth inning against Dodgers pitcher Phil Bickford, and the three-time MVP clearly understood the enormity of the moment. 

ALBERT PUJOLS HITS 700TH HOME RUN, BECOMING FOURTH PLAYER IN MLB HISTORY TO REACH FEAT

"I didn’t control them," Pujols said of his emotions after the game, according to MLB.com "If you see the video of the homer, I went down into the tunnel, and that’s when I let my emotions out."

Of the four members of the 700-home run club, only Pujols hit 699 and 700 in the same game. 

"It's pretty special," Pujols said, according to ESPN. "When it's really gonna hit me is when I'm done, at the end of the season, when I'm retired, and probably a moment or two after that I can look at the numbers.

CARDINALS’ ALBERT PUJOLS STILL STUCK ON HOME RUN NO. 698, BREAKS UP PADRES NO-HIT BID

"Look, don't get me wrong, I know what my place is in this game. But, since day one, when I made my debut, it was never about numbers, it was never about chasing numbers. It was always about winning championships and trying to get better in this game. And I had so many people that taught me the right way early in my career, and that's how I've carried myself for 22 years that I've been in the big leagues. That's why I really don't focus on the numbers. I will one day, but not right now."

Pujols returned to the Cardinals after spending the last 10 years of his career in Los Angeles with the Angels and the Dodgers. He returned to St. Louis, where it all started, and where he won two championships and his three MVPs in his first 11 MLB seasons. 

Pujols has announced that his 22nd season in baseball will be his last, capping an incredible career that will likely culminate in him becoming a first-ballot Hall of Famer. 

He’s given fans of baseball one last incredible year, solidifying himself as one of the all-time greats.

Football is simply better during the fall months and Week 4 of the college football season happens to land on the first Saturday of autumn. 

Couple that with a phenomenal slate of college games, and there are zero reasons for fans of the game to leave the couch for anything other than a quick mow of the lawn on Saturday. 

The conference schedule is in full swing, and we have four high-quality matchups in the Big Ten, SEC, and ACC. 

UTAH STUDENT ARRESTED AFTER ALLEGEDLY THREATENING TO CAUSE ;MASS DESTRUCTION’ IF FOOTBALL TEAM LOST

Let’s take a look at a few games to be aware of Saturday as the college football season kicks off Week 4.

The Demon Deacons have become nationally relevant, winning the ACC Atlantic division and reaching the 2021 ACC title game in head coach Dave Clawson’s eighth season in Winston-Salem. 

Yet, it has been 13 years since Wake Forest defeated Clemson, 0-8 with Clawson leading the program. 

Even in a wildly successful season, and a down year for Clemson, Wake Forest still could not beat the Tigers, losing 48-27 on the road.

WAKE FOREST’S SAM HARTMAN CLEARED TO PLAY AGAINST VANDERBILT AFTER ‘RARE’ BLOOD CLOT CONDITION 

"The bottom line is we haven't played well against them," Clawson said. "So I just want to go out Saturday and I want our team to play at the level that we're capable of."

It's the first ranked matchup between the two schools since 1950 as both enter the game undefeated. 

Clemson has remained high in the rankings without a quality win, and we still are unsure of just how good they are.

Quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei has looked better after a difficult first season as the starter, throwing for five touchdowns and just one interception. However, Clemson’s first three opponents are a combined 4-5, with Wake Forest being the first real test of the season for the Tigers. 

"We still don’t know what they are," ESPN college football host Matt Barrie said. "We know they’ve got a great defense. We know that. We know they’ve got Will Shipley, a really good running back. Joseph Ngata’s [Clemson wide receiver] played pretty well over the first couple of weeks. We just still don’t know about the quarterback yet."

DABO SWEENEY, CLEMSON AGREE TO NEW 10-YEAR CONTRACT TO BECOME SECOND-HIGHEST PAID COACH IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL

"DJ Uiagalelei has done enough to be good, but is he doing enough, has he grown enough to make Clemson hang around that top four College Football Playoff conversation? At least for now, they’re undefeated, they’re ranked fifth."

Wake Forest is led by quarterback Sam Hartman, who missed the first game of the season recovering from a blood clot, and has thrown for seven touchdowns and two interceptions in two games. 

"They're the Atlantic Division champs," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. "And they know what that looks like it, and they're confident in that."

It has been six years since Tennessee last beat Florida, but this appears to be a different Vols team than college football fans have seen in past years. 

Tennessee is 3-0 for the first time since 2016, and they are doing it with one of the more high-powered offenses in the country. 

NCAA HANDS LSU FOOTBALL 1-YEAR PROBATION FOR FORMER COACH’S RECRUITING VIOLATION

The Vols are averaging 553.7 yards per game – third most in the country – and scoring 52.0 points per game, good for fourth in the nation. With quarterback Hendon Hooker under center, the Vols are averaging 371.3 yards per game in the air. Hooker has thrown six touchdowns with zero interceptions, including a 27-42 game for 325 yards and two touchdowns against then-No. 17 Pittsburgh. 

However, Hooker wants more, with an eye on breaking the run of looses to the Gators. 

"I haven’t played to my standards yet, but we’ve been winning ballgames and that’s the total end story that I’m looking for, is are we winning?" Hooker said "It doesn’t matter how I play or how somebody else plays if we’re winning."

Florida will visit Neyland Stadium in Billy Napier’s first year as head coach as he’ll head into the rivalry as 10.5-point underdogs, according to Fox Bet. 

For the Gators, another loss in the SEC – Florida lost to Kentucky in Week 2 – would be a tough hole to dig out of in the SEC East. They will be counting on quarterback Anthony Richardson, who has struggled since Florida’s win over the then-No. 7 Utah Utes. 

"Frankly, if Florida doesn’t up their quarterback play, it’s not going to be good enough against the competition they’re going to face in this game (against Tennessee) or maybe the rest of their schedule," CBS analyst Gary Danielson said, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Richardson, who rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns against Utah, has gained just 28 yards on the ground since and has thrown four interceptions without a passing touchdown on the season. 

FLORIDA’S TURNOVERS PROVE COSTLY AGAINST KENTUCKY IN SEC TOP 25 BATTLE

The rivalry between the Vols and the Gators will be renewed Saturday afternoon in Knoxville, with Tennessee hoping to break the streak of Florida dominance, who have won 16 of the last 17 meetings between the schools. 

"Probably 30 seconds after I arrived on campus," second-year Tennessee head coach Josh Huepel said when asked when he learned of the rivalry. "This is one of the ballgames that this fan base and our players point to."

Arkansas found a way to survive becoming a victim of an FCS school in Week 3, beating Missouri State after being down 10 in the fourth quarter. Texas A&M was not able to survive their upset in Week 2, losing to an unranked Appalachian State team before beating No. 13 Miami in Week 3. 

The Razorbacks are looking to start the season 4-0 in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 1988-1999 and 2-0 in SEC play for the first time since 2006. 

Texas A&M’s defense is stingy, ninth in the nation in points allowed per game (8.7). The Aggies are allowing just 301 yards per game but have allowed 154.3 yards per game on the ground. 

UNRANKED APPALACHIAN STATE SHOCKS NO. 6 TEXAS A&M WITH UPSET WIN ON ROAD

Enter Arkansas and running back Raheim Sanders, who are 10th in the country in rushing yards per game with 243.7. Sanders is the leading rusher in the SEC with three consecutive 100-yard games to start the season. 

Quarterback KJ Jefferson has rushed for 169 yards and three touchdowns while throwing for six touchdowns in Arkansas first three games. 

Defensively, the Razorbacks’ secondary had been atrocious, dead last in the FBS in passing yards allowed per game (353.0). 

"Well, we have to get better, both of them, really. But obviously there’s a little bit more urgency of covering people," Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman said, according to the Fayetteville Flyer. "Now we can live with guys getting good throws. We can’t live with guys wide open. … Somebody is going to beat us. They need to beat us with us attempting to cover the guy."

The problem for Texas A&M is that they are not exactly lighting it up with their passing attack, averaging just 208 yards per game through the air, 99th in the nation. 

ARKANSAS’ SAM PITTMAN ON PREPARING FOR CINCINNATI: ‘SOME GUYS BRING ICED TEA AND SOME GUYS BRING LIQUOR’

The Aggies made a change at quarterback against Miami, starting LSU transfer Max Johnson in place of Haynes King. 

"I think offensively moved the ball much better, had some really nice opening drives of both halves," Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher said this week about his offense against Miami. "Could have finished a couple of drives, got stuck at the 40 there a couple times which we think we can get ironed out." 

Arkansas is looking to win its second game in a row against Texas A&M after snapping a nine-game losing streak last season. 

Saturday’s game will be played at AT&T Stadium in Dallas. 

The Buckeyes, despite starting the year as the No. 2 team in the country, have remained somewhat under the radar. 

After beating then-No. 5 Notre Dame in Week 1, Ohio State soundly beat Arkansas State and Toledo. The win over the Fighting Irish no longer looks as impressive after Notre Dame lost to Marshall to drop to 0-2 on the season and needed a fourth quarter comeback to beat Cal. 

However, Wisconsin presents a Big Ten test, and a different level of competition. 

"Big Ten play is more challenging, it's more physical up front, no disrespect (to other conferences)," Buckeyes offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson said the other day.

HEISMAN FAVORITE CJ STROUD LEADS NO. 2 OHIO STATE OVER NO. 5 FIGHTING IRISH, 21-10

"When you get into Big Ten play, it's a line-of-scrimmage league, it's a tough league," he said. "It wears on you week after week after week. We're starting with a big challenge with a great line-of-scrimmage team on both sides coming up when Wisconsin walks into the 'Shoe."

Ohio State’s offense really got going against Toledo, gaining 763 yards and scoring 77 points behind five touchdowns from Heisman-hopeful quarterback C.J. Stroud. The offensive explosion puts Ohio State as the top offensive team in the country, averaging 563.3 yards per game.

SEC COMMISSIONER ON EXPANDED CFP: ‘WE WANT COLLEGE FOOTBALL TO BE STRONG NATIONALLY’

Wisconsin’s defense will look to slow down the high-powered unit with a defense that has allowed just 246 yards through its first three games, good for 11th in the country. 

"I can say this for a lot of guys — you dream about games like this," Wisconsin linebacker Nick Herbig said. 

The Badgers are led by second year quarterback Graham Mertz and are 2-1 after being upset by Washington State in Week 2.

There's a song called "If I had a million dollars" by the band Barenaked Ladies. It's a 90s-era throwback, and in it, the group sings about all the things they'd buy if they had — well, $1,000,000. Some things on that list? A house, an exotic pet, a Picasso.

Thirty years later, it's your turn to sing along and fantasize.

This week's NFL Sunday Challenge jackpot is exactly $1,000,000. So if you play FOX Bet Super 6 NFL Sunday Challenge before Week 3 kicks off, you could be humming that song all the way to the bank.

Cha-ching.

Before you go to your FOX Bet app to make your picks, let's dive into our predictions for this week's Super 6 matchups.

Lions @ Vikings (1 p.m. ET Sunday, FOX)

Are you ready for an NFC North showdown?

We certainly are.

The Vikings are coming off a 24-7 Monday Night Football road loss to the Eagles. It was a game where Kirk Cousins and his offense couldn't overcome Philly's defense. Cousins threw three interceptions in the primetime affair and finished 27-of-46 passing for just 221 yards. 

On the other hand, the Lions got their first W of the year in a 36-27 victory over the Commanders in Week 2. And for the first time since 1952, the Lions scored 35 or more points in three-consecutive games.

But even though Detroit is coming off a kind of historic win, the Vikings have history on their side. 

Since 2018, Minnesota is 14-10-1 when facing teams in the division. That's good for a 56% win rate. The Lions are 2-10 against NFC North rivals since 2018 when they're on the road. Not good for Detroit or the bettors who have backed them in those spots.

Something else to consider. The Vikings are 8-5 at home against NFC North opponents since 2018. 

Cue Purple Rain because Minnesota is about to pour it on Detroit.

Prediction:
Vikings by 8 to 10 points

Raiders @ Titans (1 p.m. ET Sunday, FOX)

Will the Raiders have the luck of Las Vegas when they travel to Nashville to take on the Titans? 

These two teams have only faced each other eight times since 2005 and split the series 4-4. So based on that, this game could go either way, right?

Dig a little deeper, and you'll find that Las Vegas has the edge.

Since 2015, the Raiders have dominated when they face teams from the AFC South. They've gone 8-5 in those games over the last seven years. And when Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is a road favorite as a starter, he has gone 9-7. 

Having Davante Adams on the Raiders roster hasn't yet been the game-changer it was hyped up to be. In Week 2, Adams was limited to two receptions and 12 receiving yards. This was his lowest since Week 7 of 2017. But you can't keep a five-time Pro Bowl receiver down for long. His slump will be yesterday's news after this game.

And then we have the Titans. Their Week 2 performance was — to put it nicely — lackluster.

In the Titans' loss on Monday night, running back Derrick Henry was held to 13 carries and 25 rushing yards. And now they're getting ready to face a Raiders team that is holding teams to an average of 3.7 yards per rushing attempt. If the Raiders keep that defense up, King Henry and the Titans' rushing offense has another tough weekend ahead. 

We're rolling the dice on Vegas to get that elusive first W.

Prediction: 
Raiders by 4 to 5 points

Ravens @ Patriots (1 p.m. ET Sunday, FOX)

We're guessing the Ravens are wishing on every star in the Maryland skies that they could take back the fourth quarter of their game against the Dolphins. Tua & the Fins staging a late-game, 21-point, fourth-quarter comeback to seal the victory had to have been as shocking as it was deflating for the Ravens.

But perhaps the surprising 42-38 loss at Miami will be the motivation Baltimore needs to get back on track at New England.

Currently, at FOX Bet, the Ravens are favored by 3 points in this upcoming matchup. That's great news for Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson. Lamar looks like he's on a mission this year, and he is 13-4 as a starter in his career when he's a road favorite. 

This is also bad news for Mac Jones and his Pats. The QB is 2-4 as a starter throughout his career when he's an underdog.

You also need to know that John Harbaugh brings his A-game when he's up against the AFC East. He's 18-10 against opponents from that division over his career as a head coach.

But you never know what tricks New England coach Bill Belichick will have up his cut-off sleeves. After all, he engineered a 17-14 win against the Steelers last week. However, we are taking Baltimore to bounce back in Week 3 with a W.

Prediction:
Ravens by 3 points

Saints @ Panthers (1 p.m. ET Sunday, FOX)

Boy, oh, boy. The Baker Mayfield chapter in Carolina has started off just as we expected. And that's why we're just going to start off by saying this:

Fade Baker Mayfield.

In his defense, Carolina's weaknesses go way beyond Baker's mediocrity. The Panthers currently rank 28th in total offense. The team's defense also ranks next-to-last in opponents' rushing attempts per game and 28th in third-down conversions allowed per game.

It might be time for the Panthers to panic, but that's a conversation for another day.

In the meantime, here's something more pressing that makes matters worse for the home team Panthers. The Saints have legit put in work against Carolina over the last eight years. Since 2014, New Orleans is 10-6 against Carolina. And when the Saints go marching in on the road against NFC South foes, they are 15-7 since 2015.

At FOX Bet, the Saints are currently 3-point favorites. Look for New Orleans to bounce back from last week's loss to Tampa Bay in a big way. We like the Saints in this matchup but by double that spread. 

Prediction:
Saints by 6 points

Eagles @ Commanders (1 p.m. ET Sunday, FOX)

Let's talk about the Evolution of Jalen Hurts. His pocket passing has improved, his decision-making has matured and his Eagles currently boast one of the top five scoring offenses in the league. This improved Hurts was on full display in Philly's Monday night meeting with Minnesota — a matchup the Eagles won 24-7.

You love to see it. Unless you're the opposing team, that is.

Can the Commanders hold off the soaring Eagles this weekend when they host their NFC East rivals? 

According to how things have panned out between these two squads over recent years, it's a no.

Since 2016, the Eagles are 8-2 against Washington when they're the favorites. And against NFC East opponents, Philly is 14-10 since 2018.

Now here's a snapshot of the Commanders' record. 

While Washington is 1-1 this season, the team is 8-16 when its faced NFC East opponents since 2018. And the squad is 3-8 under coach Ron Rivera when a home underdog. The Commanders are currently 4-point dogs to the Eagles. And they're coming off a 36-27 loss to Detroit. 

Not looking good for the Washington football team.

Prediction:
Eagles by 4 to 5 points

Packers @ Buccaneers (4:25 p.m. ET Sunday, FOX)

America's Game of the Week on FOX (4:25 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports App) highlights the Week 3 schedule. This game calls for popcorn. 

And we're talking a big tub of movie theater popcorn soaked in butter and salt. You can't have anything less for the season's first meeting between all-time great Aaron Rodgers and GOAT Tom Brady.

And Brady's the GOAT for a reason. He's 123-21 as a home favorite over his career. So Tom protects the turf at home. 

And when Tom and A-Rod have squared off with each other in the regular season, Timeless Tom has the 2-1 edge. Another advantage Tampa Bay has going into this game is its stout defense. The Bucs' top-ranked defense is allowing opponents an average of just 6.5 points per game.

Is anything working in Green Bay's favor as they head south as 2.5-point underdogs? 

Well, they do have a 7-4 record as road dogs under coach Matt LaFleur. Also, Tampa Bay wide receiver Mike Evans will be suspended after getting in an altercation in Week 2. That means Green Bay's defense has one less offensive threat to scheme for. If Tampa Bay's WR Julio Jones does play, it's no secret that he's not 100%, giving Green Bay another advantage. Oh, and another Bucs receiver, Chris Godwin, could be out again with an injury. Guess this will be the game TB12 ends up throwing and catching the ball himself.

It's going to be tough for the Bucs to topple the Pack. This will be close, but we're going Cheese Heads.

Prediction: 
Packers by 3

Now let's hit this jackpot!

The New York Knicks were the fourth seed in the East in 2020-21, but followed that up by missing the playoffs last year.

They were the heavy favorites to land Donovan Mitchell from the Utah Jazz all offseason long, but the Cleveland Cavaliers slid in and got him.

But the Knicks have young talent on their roster and made it a point to retain some of it. They extended both RJ Barrett and Mitchell Robinson to four-year deals worth upwards of $120 million and $60 million, respectively. They also signed guard Jalen Brunson to a four-year, $104 million deal.

Is that enough to propel them back to the playoffs? Team president Leon Rose seems to think so.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM

"We’re thrilled with where we are. Taking a look at the summer, we feel great about what transpired," Rose told the MSG Network.

"We retained Mitchell Robinson. He’s a player who has developed the last few years and we feel very fortunate that we were able to keep him. We got the number one point guard in free agency this summer in Jalen Brunson. So we feel really good about the summer."

DONOVAN MITCHELL THOUGHT KNICKS WOULD TRADE FOR HIM BEFORE CAVALIERS DEAL

Rose said one of the Knicks' "main goals has been to create internal stability," which they did by extending Barrett and Robinson.

But the Knicks did desire to pair up Brunson and Barrett with the newest Cavalier in Mitchell. Unfortunately for them, they felt the asking price was too high.

"We went through that process and at the end of the day we made a decision to stay put," Rose said.

Mitchell even admitted he was "very close" to going back to his hometown.

The Knicks were the 11th seed in the East last year, missing the playoffs for the eighth time in the last nine years.

While improved on paper, the East is still a gauntlet, and the Knicks need to hope that other young talents like Immanuel Quickley, Quentin Grimes, Obi Toppin, and others can continue to grow.

Let's just all be honest here. College football season is the most wonderful time of the year. 

The chilly fall weather makes you spend your cash on overpriced coffee and oversized sweaters. And that's actually perfect because those are the two things you need when you're braving the elements and watching your favorite college football squad in person. 

But for the times we can't make it to the stadium to root for our teams and yell at the refs, FOX Bet Super 6 has you covered!

FOX Bet Super 6 is a free-to-play contest where you pick the winners and margins of victory of six marquee matchups. If you get all six right in the college football contest, you have a shot at winning the $25,000 jackpot.

And since the theme is keeping it 100, pocketing $25,000 is more exciting than sitting on hard stadium seats hoping your team wins.

It's true.

So before you grab your pumpkin-spiced whatever and cozy up in front of the TV for this weekend's college football slate, read our predictions for these Week 4 matchups. These picks should help guide you as you make your selections for the contest.

Let's play.

Maryland @ No. 4 Michigan (12 p.m. ET Saturday, FOX)

Head coach Jim Harbaugh has gotta be happy that he's keeping the naysayers at bay for now. If we're judging Michigan's season so far, Harbaugh & Co. have nothing to worry about.

Michigan has outscored opponents 166-17 this season, including 103-0 in the first half. In fact, the Wolverines are the only Power 5 squad that has not allowed any first-half points. Big Blue also leads the FBS in scoring offense at 55.3 points per game, and they have the fourth-ranked scoring defense. 

Michigan is winning games and taking names. But the Wolverines are facing a Maryland team this weekend that, like them, has a perfect 3-0 record. Should the 16-point favorite Wolverines be scared of the Terrapins?

Well, to their credit, the Terps aren't some scrubs. They're one of just three FBS squads averaging 8.14 yards per play. And Maryland is one of five schools averaging 40 or more points per game in the Big Ten.

While we're giving Maryland its due for getting to Week 4 undefeated, the buck stops at the Big House for the Terps.

Prediction:
Michigan by 14 to 17 points

No. 5 Clemson @ No. 21 Wake Forest (12 p.m. ET Saturday, ABC)

This game features another showdown between two undefeated teams. This is the stuff college football dreams are made of. 

Clemson leads the all-time series 69-17-1. And since 2015, the Tigers are 28-2 in September games. Go ahead and cue that Earth, Wind & Fire. 

Also, the Tigers' nine-game winning streak is the longest in the country. What's one more win for the 7-point favorites? Might as well keep adding to the count if you're Clemson.

With all that in mind, is there any reason for Wake Forest to even show up on Saturday? 

Well, the Demon Deacons have a pretty impressive September record, too. Since 2016, they're 20-5 during the month. But we saw the real Wake Forest last week when they barely beat Liberty 37-36. 

Sure, the Deacs are undefeated, but how much stock can a fan or bettor put in Wake Forest's worth when the squad defeated Liberty by just one point?

It's the Tigers for us.

Prediction: 
Clemson by 7 to 9 points

No. 20 Florida @ No. 11 Tennessee (3:30 p.m. ET Saturday, CBS)

Neyland Stadium is one of the toughest places to play in college football. Saturday at Neyland for a good game? That place is packed with 101,000 people, easily. And it's loud. And intimidating. So mark that down as the Gators' first big disadvantage as they head to Tennessee to take on the Vols.

Also, is Florida a legitimate Top 25 team? The team has already dropped one game to Kentucky and almost lost to USF last week. In the Gator's defense, though, they've had a grueling schedule already, and it's only Week 4. Florida is one of two teams in the nation to face three opponents ranked in the AP Top 25 in the first four weeks of the season. 

That's a mouthful.

When it comes to Florida-Tennessee, the Gators have owned this series lately. Florida has won 16 of the last 17 meetings, including each of the last four by at least 12 points. The last time Rocky Top won was in 2016 — 38-28 at Neyland.

With coach Josh Heupel at the helm, the Vols have demolished opponents in the first quarters of games. Under Heupel, Tennessee outscores teams 228-61 in the first quarter. And that includes 190-51 in 2021 and 38-10 this season. We expect to see more of that this weekend.

At FOX Bet, the Vols are favored by 10.5, but we think this SEC East clash will be a close one.

Prediction:
Tennessee by 4 to 6 points

No. 10 Arkansas @ No. 23 Texas A&M (7 p.m. ET Saturday, ESPN)

Another SEC battle but this time on the west side — some would argue the best side — of the conference.

The Razorbacks lead this all-time series 42-33-3, including a 20-10 win in 2021. Before that, though, Texas A&M had won nine straight against Arkansas. 

Here's something special to note about the Razorbacks. They lead the country in sacks this season with 17. Arkansas has also picked off 28 passes since the start of the 2020 season. That's good for a second-place tie in the SEC.

Let's give the Aggies their flowers, too. They are one of just three SEC teams to score every time they have touched the red zone this season. That's no easy feat. Red zone scoring is tough.

On the downside, A&M averages just 52.3 offensive plays per game. That's the fewest plays per game of any FBS team. As a matter of fact, Texas A&M is the only FBS team that averages fewer than 55 plays per matchup.

Since they already have one loss to Appalachian State, any College Football Playoff hopes would be effectively over if the Aggies drop another game. 

Texas A&M will leave it all on the field Saturday night, but underdog Arkansas will just be too tough.

Woo pig sooie!

Prediction:
Arkansas by 4 to 6 points

Wisconsin @ No. 3 Ohio State (7:30 p.m. ET Saturday, ABC)

The last time these two faced off was in the 2019 Big Ten championship game, when Ohio State won 34-21.

Ohio State leads the all-time series 61-18-5.

Ohio State has won eight-straight meetings.

Do you sense a theme here?

This game for us is Buckeyes or bust. They're No. 3 in the country for a reason. And while they might face some challenging teams en route back to the College Football Playoff, Wisconsin won't be one of them.

In 41 games under coach Ryan Day, Ohio State has scored 30 or more points 33 times. The Buckeyes' record in those games? 33-0. 

Since 2017, Ryan Day-coached quarterbacks have thrown for 300 or more yards 40 times. This ties Alabama’s record for the most in that span. Last week, the Buckeyes put up 77 points and 763 total yards of offense on Toledo. Remember, we told you they would put up a basketball score. And they'll do it again this weekend against the Badgers.
 
Prediction:
Ohio State 18 to 21

Kansas State @ No. 6 Oklahoma (8 p.m. ET Saturday, FOX)

Here's a fun fact: In eight of the last 11 meetings, the road team in the OU-Kansas State series has won. If you're Boomer Sooner, then maybe that's not so fun. It is interesting, though.

K-State likes to pound the rock. So much so that they rank 12th in the nation and second in the Big 12 with an average of 239.3 rushing yards per game. State also ranks third in the Big 12 in the fewest penalty yards per game with an average of 41.7 through three weeks this season, 

All that's great for State, but Oklahoma is favored by 12.5 for a reason. 

The Sooners' defense leads the nation with 32 tackles for loss, ranking 14th nationally, allowing an average of 10 points per game. They've scored on 11 of their 12 trips to the red zone, and Oklahoma is one of 16 teams to have not thrown an interception this year.

The Sooners have put up at least 33 points per game this year, including 49 big ones over Nebraska last week.

In this new-look year since Lincoln Riley and Caleb Williams dashed for USC, OU hasn't yet skipped a beat.

Prediction:
Oklahoma by 14 to 17 points

There is a new member of baseball's 700 home run club.

Albert Pujols blasted the 700th home run of his career on Friday night, becoming the fourth person in MLB history to accomplish that feat.

He joins Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755), and Babe Ruth (714) as the only players in the 700 home run club.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM

He also hit his 699th earlier in the game. Pujols hit his 499th and 500th in the same game, too.

Bonds was the last person to hit 700 back on Sept. 17, 2004. He hit 62 more throughout his career to become the home run king, but many think Aaron still holds the true record due to Bonds' alleged link with performance-enhancing drugs.

Aaron hit his 700th in 1973, while Ruth did so way back in 1934.

Pujols returned to the St. Louis Cardinals for what he has said will be his final season. He was drafted by the Cardinals in 1999, but shot up through the minor leagues. In 2001, he not only was named the National League Rookie of the Year - he finished in fourth in the NL MVP vote that year, putting the majors on notice.

AARON JUDGE’S 62ND HOME RUN BALL WILL BE MORE VALUABLE THAN ALBERT PUJOLS’ 700TH, MEMORABILIA EXPERT SAYS

From 2001 to 2011, he won three MVPs, two World Series, and led the majors in OPS three times, cementing himself as one of baseball's all-time greats. In that span, he hit .328 with 445 home runs, 1,329 RBI, and a 1.037 OPS in 1,705 total games.

At that point, it was a matter of when - not if - he would join the 700 club.

But following the 2011 season, he signed a 10-year deal with the Los Angeles Angels worth $240 million, and he severely underperformed, especially on the back end of the deal.

He was pedestrian in his first season out west, hitting .285 with 30 homers and 105 RBI, but the next four years were underwhelming.

From 2013 to 2016, his OPS was just .783. He did average 29 homers in those years, but he wasn't living up to the deal, and it only got worse.

CARDINALS’ ALBERT PUJOLS WINS MUHAMMAD ALI SPORTS HUMANITARIAN AWARD: ‘PART OF MY RESPONSIBILITY’

In 460 games from 2017 to his last game as an Angel in 2021, he hit just .240 with an OPS of .694. The Angels DFA'd him, and the Dodgers scooped him up - he hit 12 homers in 85 games for them.

Pujols was again a free agent, and he and the Cardinals agreed on a reunion for one final season.

Entering this year, he needed 21 home runs to get the feat. With his performance in recent years, 700 was now an outside chance - a weird thought given he averaged 37 homers a season from 2001-2015 - but he would at the least make a slight run at it.

And usually, with the pressure of such a moment, many players may crumble. But since mid-July, he not only has embraced it - he's suddenly been one of the game's best hitters, looking like the Pujols of old.

Entering Friday night, since July 10, he has been the Pujols of old, hitting .312 with a 1.026 OPS. He now has 17 home runs in his last 54 games played. With that stretch, he has raised his average from .198 to .261 and his OPS from .624 to .845. It, once again, became a matter of when - not if.

Pujols wasn't the only Cardinal chasing history this year. Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina just broke the all-time MLB record for most starts by a battery. Wainwright threw the first pitch of a game to Yadi Wednesday for the 325th time in their careers.

Molina will join Pujols in retirement when the season is over - Wainwright still hasn't decided.

But the exact date of when their careers will end is unknown - the Cardinals are headed to the postseason this year, and that trio will be looking to go out on top, winning a World Series for the third time in their careers.

Smells like destiny in St. Louis.

The San Francisco 49ers are going to get a serious jolt in Week 3.

Tight end George Kittle will make his season debut Sunday against the Broncos in Denver.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Friday Kittle is "ready to go" after he was taken off the injury report. He suffered a groin injury Sept. 5 in a practice leading up to the Niners' season opener.

Even though this is his sixth season in the league, Kittle is as excited as ever to be on the field again.

"I'm pretty happy," Kittle said Thursday. "Just had a breath of fresh air, honestly. It feels great to be back on the football field with the boys. I love our performance staff. They do a fantastic job of getting us back together, but I'd be OK with not really seeing them for the rest of the season. So, just really happy to be back out there catching the football, actually getting to put pads on, hit people."

The Niners lost Trey Lance for the season last week, but Jimmy Garoppolo is filling into a familiar role having led the Niners to the playoffs three of the last four seasons. 

He led San Fran to Super Bowl LIV in 2020, and last year's playoff run included a win at Lambeau Field over the top-seeded Green Bay Packers before the 49ers lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship.

CHARGERS' JUSTIN HERBERT SAYS HE'S A TRUE GAME-TIME DECISION SUNDAY

Kittle has not played a full season since 2017, missing half of the 2020 season and three more games last year.

But when he's on the field, he's one of the most dominant tight ends in the NFL.

His 17-game average since the 2018 season is 95 catches for 1,299 yards and six touchdowns. In 14 games last year, he caught 71 passes, six of them for scores, for 910 yards.

The last time Kittle played Denver in 2018, he grabbed seven catches for 210 yards and a touchdown.

It's the end of an era in tennis.

Roger Federer played his final match Friday night at the Laver Cup in London, losing a doubles match paired up with Rafael Nadal as part of Team Europe.

The two legends teamed up against Frances Tiafoe and Jack Sock, who beat them, 4-7, 7-6, 11-9.

Both Federer and Nadal shed tears as the crowd gave the former a rousing ovation and he mouthed "Thank you."

"It's been a perfect journey," Federer said after the match. "I would do it all over again."

The 41-year-old announced his retirement last week, citing injuries over the last few years slowing him down.

TOM BRADY TALKS ROGER FEDERER'S CAREER FOLLOWING TENNIS SUPERSTAR'S DECISION TO CALL IT QUITS

"As many of you know, the past three years have presented me with challenges in the form of injuries and surgeries," Federer said. "I have worked hard to return to full competitive form. But I also know my body’s capacities and limits, and its message to me lately has been clear. I am 41 years old. I have played more than 1,500 matches over 24 years. Tennis has treated me more generously than I ever would have dreamt, and now I must recognize when it is time to end my competitive career."

Federer spoke with the crowd following the match, taking it all in one final time.

"It's been a wonderful day. I told the guys I'm happy, I'm not sad. It feels great to be here. I enjoyed tying my shoes one more time. Everything was the last time," he said. 

Team Europe is blessed to have the top three grand slam winners together: Federer, Nadal (22), and Novak Djokovic (21).

"It's been wonderful. And, of course, playing with Rafa on the same team and having the guys, everybody here, all of the legends … It is amazing. It really is," Federer said. 

"It does feel like a celebration to me," he added. "I wanted it to feel like this at the end, and it's exactly what I hoped for."

Federer spent 310 weeks as the top-ranked tennis player in the world and retires with 20 grand slam titles, the third-most all time. His titles: eight Wimbledons, six Australian Opens, five U.S. Opens and one French Open.

The 2022 Presidents Cup is going how it usually goes — with continued dominance from the United States.

Team USA won the day 4-1 for the second day in a row, winning three matches and halving two others.

Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas are the dynamic duo that keeps on giving. They took down Adam Scott and Cam Davis 2-and-1 with the help of a near ace from Thomas and a clutch putt on hole 15 from Spieth that clinched at least half a point.

Thomas is 8-0-2 in team match play at the Presidents Cup and 12-2-3, including Ryder Cup matches. Spieth is 18-6-3 in team match play and 10-2-1 in the Presidents Cup. He and Spieth improved to 6-2 as partners.

Sam Burns drained an 80-foot eagle putt on the seventh, but Sungjae Im and Sebastian Munoz were able to battle back from two down with six holes to go. 

Munoz birdied the 13th, while both Scottie Scheffler and Burns bogeyed 17 to even the match heading to 18. Im and Scheffler both parred to halve the match.

Neither Kevin Kisner and Cameron Young nor Mito Pereira and Christiaan Bezuidenhout were able to get beyond a one-up lead in their match that was halved.

LIV GOLF CEO GREG NORMAN ADDRESSES PGA TOUR'S ANTI-COMPETITIVE EFFORTS IN 'INFORMATIVE' MEETING WITH LAWMAKERS

Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele had another big win, going 3-and-2 on Hideki Matsuyama and 20-year-old Tom Kim. That American pair took down Matsuyama and Adam Scott 6-and-5 yesterday. Together, they have five straight match play wins. They went 2-0 at last year's Ryder Cup.

The Internationals were hoping the final pairing of the day, Corey Conners and Taylor Pendrith, could get them out of the gutter against Max Homa and Billy Horschel. After being two down through 10, they won two of the next three holes to square the match.

PRESIDENTS CUP 2022: TEAM USA EARNS FOUR POINTS IN FIRST FIVE MATCHES IN DAY 1

The pairs tied the next four holes, but Homa had a dominant final two holes. His birdie at 17 clinched a half point, and after Pendrith birdied on 18, Homa answered with a birdie of his own, giving the U.S. the full point.

The Americans need 7.5 points to retain the cup they have won eight times in a row. There are four four-ball matches and four foursome matches tomorrow, followed by 12 singles matches Sunday.

Simply put, the Internationals need a miracle.

The U.S. team's lead is the largest through two days, tying its dominant win in 2017 at Liberty National.

The internationals have won just once, back in 1998 at Royal Melbourne in Australia. 

The Los Angeles Chargers had a long week after playing Thursday night in Week 2, but 10 days might not be enough for Justin Herbert to heal up.

Herbert suffered a fracture in his rib cartilage in the Chargers' loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last week.

The third-year QB is listed as questionable for Sunday after not practicing on Friday. He was limited in each of the previous two days.

However, Herbert said the plan is for him to go through warmups before the game, and there will be a decision based on how his pregame workout goes.

Herbert says his ribs feel good when he throws, but "that decision will be made Sunday."

"That’s a decision we’ve got a couple of days left to make. We don’t play today, and so we play on Sunday," he said, via Pro Football Talk.

Head coach Brandon Staley echoed Herbert's words.

"It's day by day. We are going to progress the next few days and see how it goes," the second-year head coach said.

Chase Daniel ran with the first team in Friday's practice, and he would start in Herbert's absence.

JUSTIN HERBERT AVOIDS THE WORST WITH RIB INJURY SUFFERED ON THURSDAY

"Whatever the plan is, I know our team is going to be prepared and do everything we can," Herbert said. 

Wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is also questionable after missing last week's contest, while center Corey Linsley (knee) and cornerback J.C. Jackson are doubtful.

The Chargers (1-1) are hosting the 1-1 Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Baltimore Orioles have hired Goldman Sachs to "assess the prospects for selling the team," according to The Athletic.

The team is not officially up for sale, but the future of the team's ownership is certainly in limbo considering the drama within the current ownership group.

Louis Angelos, son of owner Peter Angelos, filed a lawsuit in June against his brother and mother, John and Georgia, to force a sale of the team. 

CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM

Louis argues in his lawsuit that John "has sought to seize control of his father’s estate and to completely exclude" him, the suit says.

"The corrupting effect of John's actions has been to thoroughly frustrate [Louis] Angelos' intentions," the suit added. "John intends to maintain absolute control over the Orioles — to manage, to sell or, if he chooses, to move to Tennessee [where he has a home and where his wife's career is headquartered] — without having to answer to anyone."

The suit also says Georgia wants to sell the team when her ailing husband dies.

However, John recently said the O's will "remain in Baltimore … as long as Fort McHenry is standing watch over the Inner Harbor." 

Georgia added that "any suggestion that Peter, John, or I would explore moving the Club is false and intentionally divisive."

AARON JUDGE’S 62ND HOME RUN BALL WILL BE MORE VALUABLE THAN ALBERT PUJOLS’ 700TH, MEMORABILIA EXPERT SAYS

A move is unlikely, especially considering Maryland's legislature has committed $1.2 billion for Camden Yards improvements.

The team also likely would not be put up for sale, if it is at all, until after Peter dies. The Angelos family would have to pay a large amount in taxes if a sale prior to that were to happen. Georgia is in line to have full control of the team tax-free.

The Washington Nationals are expected to be sold over the winter, while the Los Angeles Angels may also hit the market soon.

The Orioles have played in Baltimore since 1954.

A bad week for the Boston Celtics got worse Friday. 

Just a few hours after holding a press conference to answer questions regarding the season-long suspension of head coach Ime Udoka, the Celtics announced that center Robert Williams is expected to miss 8-12 weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his knee. 

"The Boston Celtics announced today that center Robert Williams underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure to remove loose bodies and address swelling in his left knee," Boston said on its team website. "The surgery was performed by Celtics Team Physician Dr. Tony Schena at New England Baptist Hospital. Williams is expected to return to basketball activities in 8-12 weeks."

CELTICS’ SUSPENSION OF HEAD COACH IME UDOKA FOLLOWS ‘THOROUGH INVESTIGATION,’ TEAM OWNER SAYS

On Tuesday, ESPN initially reported that Williams would miss 4-6 weeks with a knee "cleanup." 

It’s the second time in less than a year that Williams has had a procedure on his left knee. The Celtics big man underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in late March. 

The timetable for Williams' return means Boston will be without its starting center until right before Thanksgiving, at the earliest. 

NYC MAYOR CONSIDERS MOVING MADISON SQUARE GARDEN

Williams has been injury prone for most of his NBA career but appeared in a career-high 61 games last season in his best year as a pro. 

Williams averaged 10 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game as the anchor of the Celtics’ defense.

Williams’ injury timeline is the latest blow to an organization that lost its coach for the entirety of the 2022-23 NBA season Thursday for "violations of team policies."

Udoka reportedly had a consensual relationship with a female staffer within the Celtics organization. 

Free-agent signee Danilo Gallinari was expected to contribute off the bench for Boston but tore his ACL in the FIBA World Cup qualifier in August. 

"Yesterday I had successful ACL surgery," Gallinari wrote in a social media post Friday. "Now the focus is on my rehab and return to the game I love." 

"See you soon on the court."

While the Celtics did not provide a timeline for Gallinari’s return to the court, the typical recovery time for Gallinari's injury is six to 12 months. 

Twenty-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer expressed his appreciation to fans attending his doubles match at the Laver Cup in London Friday in what will be the final match of his legendary career.

A nostalgic Federer took to social media to share snaps of himself heading to the O2 Arena, where he will join longtime friend and rival Rafael Nadal on Centre Court for his final match, just a week after announcing his retirement from the sport. 

"I’ve done this thousands of times, but this one feels different," he said in a tweet. "Thank you to everybody who’s coming tonight."

LAVER CUP 2022: CLIMATE CHANGE PROTESTER STORMS THE COURT, LIGHTS ARM ON FIRE

Federer announced his retirement last week. While it was a shock for many, questions about his eventual retirement have persisted for a while. 

The last two years of his career have been plagued by injuries. Federer didn’t play in any pro events in 2022 and only competed in 19 matches from 2020-2021. His last tournament title came in 2019 at the Swiss Indoors Basel.

Friday will mark the end of his professional playing career when he and 21-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal team up to take on U.S. Open semifinalist Frances Tiafoe and Jack Sock.

"It will be awesome to see Roger back on court. No one really knows what to expect physically from him, where he’s at, but ... we'll enjoy every minute of it," Sock said. "Give him a big hug at the end, win or lose."

The Associated Press contributed to this report. 

Novak Djokovic’s inability to participate in the U.S. Open earlier this month due to his vaccination status isn’t something the 21-time Grand Slam champion regrets – even if it means more time between tournaments and a drop in rankings. 

Djokovic stood by his decision not to get vaccinated against COVID-19, during a press conference on Thursday ahead the Laver Cup in London, saying he had been well aware of the consequences.

"I don’t have any regrets. I mean, I do feel sad that I wasn’t able to play (at the U.S. Open), but that was a decision that I made, and I knew what the consequences would be," he said Thursday. "So I accepted them, and that’s it."

LAVER CUP 2022: CLIMATE CHANGE PROTESTER STORMS THE COURT, LIGHTS ARM ON FIRE

Federal travel restrictions prevented Djokovic from entering the U.S. as non-citizens are required to be vaccinated against COVID in order to gain entry. 

The United States Tennis Association (USTA) provided a statement over the summer announcing that while the tournament does not have a vaccine mandate, it would adhere to federal policy.

"I’m not used to making, obviously in the last 15 to 20 years, longer breaks between the tournaments, but it is what it is," Djokovic added. "That’s kind of the situation I was in. I’m just excited to be able to play here now — and most of the other indoor (tournaments) for the rest of the season."

Djokovic was deported from Australia in January after traveling there on a visa with a medical exemption for the first Grand Slam tournament of the year. While he was able to compete at the French Open and subsequently won Wimbledon, he is currently ranked No. 7 in the world, in part because ranking points were not awarded at the All England Club because of the ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes. 

Djokovic is facing a three-year ban as a result of his deportation, but it’s not a matter he’s given much thought to, despite hoping for the best. 

"It’s really not in my hands right now," he said Thursday. "So I’m hoping I will get some positive news."

The Australian Open has been one of Djokovic’s most successful showings — he’s won a record nine titles. He said back in May that he doesn’t hold "any grudges" over the incident and that if given the chance, "I would love to come back."

The Associated Press contributed to this report. 

Andre Iguodala will return to the Golden State Warriors for his 19th and final NBA season, the four-time NBA champion announced Friday. 

Iguodala, who has spent seven of his 18 seasons with the Warriors, made the announcement on his "PointForward" podcast. 

"I myself will be returning for my 19th season," Iguodala said, "and ET [Evan Turner] and I will be returning to the NBA throughout the season on the road to return our "PointForward" duties, out "PointForward" responsibilities and to give you access of what’s going on in the NBA." 

CELTICS’ SUSPENSION OF HEAD COACH IME UDOKA FOLLOWS ‘THOROUGH INVESTIGATION,’ TEAM OWNER SAYS

Last season, Iguodala averaged 4.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 19.5 minutes per game as Golden State won its fourth title in eight years. 

Iguodala said he considered himself retired for most of the summer until his teammates and the front office convinced him to return. 

NYC MAYOR CONSIDERS MOVING MADISON SQUARE GARDEN

"I'm going to blame a few people," Iguodala said. "Steph Curry is one person I am going to blame. But, as a group, I am blaming Draymond [Green], Steph, and Klay [Thompson]. Steve Kerr a little bit, Bob Myers, I think they just showed me a lot of love.

"They really helped me see my presence outside of physically playing basketball, but also I think Steve was a big culprit in terms of, 'Listen, we really need you on the court.' Draymond was big on that as well."

Iguodala said he’s looking forward to mentoring the young players on the Warriors in his final season.

"I’m looking forward to playing, but I’m also on [Jonathan] Kuminga, and I’m on Moses Moody and I’m on the young fellas," Iguodala said. "I’m letting them know if I get on this court, you ain’t doing something right."

"I’m letting you know now, Steph. This is the last one." 

Cristiano Ronaldo was charged by the Football Association on Friday in relation to an incident that saw the Manchester United forward apparently knock a phone out of an Everton fan’s hand at a Premier League match in April.

It is alleged Ronaldo’s conduct was improper and/or violent, the governing body said.

Ronaldo received a police caution in August after being interviewed by officers in relation to an allegation of assault and criminal damage following the incident at Goodison Park on April 9.

Footage was posted online of Ronaldo appearing to knock the supporter’s mobile phone on to the ground as he walked toward the tunnel following United’s 1-0 loss.

Under British law, a caution is essentially a warning given out by police for a minor crime if the person admits to the offense.

After the incident, Ronaldo issued a social media apology for his "outburst" and invited the supporter to watch a game at Old Trafford "as a sign of fair play and sportsmanship."

Just hours before tennis great Roger Federer was set to play his final match ever at the 2022 Laver Cup, a match between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Diego Schwartzman was halted on Friday after a British protester stormed the court and lit his arm on fire to protest the use of private jets. 

A man wearing a T-shirt that read "End UK Private Jets" ran onto Center Court at the O2 Arena in London where he proceeded to light his arm on fire. 

He quickly put the flames out on his arm before security rushed onto the court to extinguish the remaining fire and drag the man out. 

ROGER FEDERER TO PAIR WITH TENNIS LEGEND FOR FINAL MATCH

The court was not damaged in the demonstration. The man involved belongs to a group that claims "carbon emissions in 2022 are genocide," Reuters reported, citing local media. 

The protester "has been arrested and the situation is being handled by the police," Laver Cup organizers said in a statement.

"It came out of nowhere. I have no idea what this is all about. I never had an incident like this happen on court. I hope he is all right," Tsitsipas said of the incident, via Sky Sports.

"I wanted to proceed the match without having any minor changes to the court and to make sure it was playable, especially that area. It also got in my way of viewing experience, the way I saw the court later. There was a big mark over there and I just wanted to get it cleared up."

Thankfully for Tsitsipas, the incident did not derail his game and he overcame Schwartzman for 6-2, 6-1 victory for Team Europe over Team World. 

Federer will make an appearance on the same court Friday evening when he partners with longtime rival and friend Rafael Nadal in a double’s match – his final before retiring. 

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Boston Celtics held a press conference one day after suspending head coach Ime Udoka for the entire 2022-2023 NBA season for "violations of team policies." 

Udoka reportedly had a consensual relationship with a female staffer within the Celtics organization. 

Celtics majority owner Wyc Grousbeck and President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens were present at the press conference. 

CELTICS SUSPEND IME UDOKA FOR ENTIRE 2022-23 SEASON FOR ‘VIOLATIONS OF TEAM POLICIES’

Grousbeck told reporters that the suspension came after a months-long investigation by an external law firm that conducted a "thorough investigation."

"We learned over the summer, some part of the summer, that there was a situation," Grousbeck said Friday. "Called in the law firm at that point and the investigation had some twists and turns and took some time to develop all the facts. It finally concluded, for now, everything we know was wrapped up two days ago."

Udoka, who was preparing to enter his second season as head coach of the organization, apologized in a statement Thursday evening. 

ESPN STAR SUGGESTS IME UDOKA SITUATION AMPLIFIED BECAUSE OF RACE, ACCUSES CELTICS OF LEAKING INFO

"I want to apologize to our players, fans, the entire Celtics organization, and my family for letting them down," Udoka said. "I am sorry for putting the team in this difficult situation, and I accept the team’s decision. Out of respect for everyone involved, I will have no further comment."

The Celtics are fresh off an appearance in the NBA Finals, where Boston lost to the Golden State Warriors in six games. The Celtics were one of the favorites to win the Eastern Conference in 2022 before the news of Udoka’s suspension.

Boston named assistant coach Joe Mazzulla as interim head coach for the 2022-2023 season. 

"This felt right, but there’s no clear guidelines for any of this," Grousbeck said. 

"I took a lot of advice from partners like Brad and others. We collectively came to this and got there, but it was not clear what to do. But it was clear that something substantial needed to be done, in my view, and it was."
