Shane Steichen "very close" to deciding on Colts' starting quarterback
Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson both saw action in Saturday's game against the Packers and both players avoided injury during their time in the lineup. After the game, Steichen said in a press conference, via James Boyd of TheAthletic.com, that he is "very close" to making his choice between the two players.
Jones started Saturday's game and played two series before giving way to Richardson, who started the opener but had to leave after a handful of snaps due to a dislocated pinkie.
Jones was 7-of-11 for 101 yards with one of his incompletions coming on a third down inside the Packers' 10-yard-line on the second offensive possession. That led the Colts to settle for a field goal before Richardson entered the game. He was 6-of-11 for 73 yards and he ran once for nine yards while driving the Colts to 10 second quarter points.
Once Steichen announces his decision, the Colts can turn their focus to getting the starter ready for Week 1 against the Dolphins and it seems like they won't have to wait too much longer to take that step.

NY Mets live updates from Little League Classic 2025 game vs Seattle Mariners
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Inside Williamsport, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, the festival of baseball is in full swing. As the Little League World Series entered elimination Sunday, some of the best in the world dropped in for a brief stay. About four miles down the road from the picturesque Little League World Series Complex, the New York Mets and Seattle Mariners were set to close their three-game series at 7:10 p.m. in one of baseball's oldest ballparks - Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field - in the Little League Classic. In one of the banner events on the Major League Baseball calendar, both teams' players and coaches stopped in to visit with the competitors of the Little League World Series and their coaches before taking the field for the rubber game. The Mets and Mariners split the opening two games of their series, with the Mariners grabbing the opener, 11-9, before the Mets countered with a 3-1 victory behind Nolan McLean's sterling MLB debut on Saturday afternoon at Citi Field. As the Mets participated in the Little League Classic for the second time in their history, here are live updates throughout the event: Francisco Lindor, Edwin Diaz take in the Little League World Series It does not take long for the hundreds of fans, spectators and players to recognize that the Mets had made their arrival at the complex. The autographs continue in a gate section wedged between Little League Volunteer Stadium and Howard J. Lamade Stadium. On the famous hill flanking one of the most memorable ballparks of summer, Sean Manaea and Jeff McNeil take a memorable slide down the hill in front of the Grove, the dormitory complex for the little leaguers. Inside Volunteer Stadium, where Canada and Australia are competing in the second game of the day, Francisco Lindor stops high above the stadium to join the ESPN broadcast of the event. Meanwhile, in the seats, Edwin Diaz, decked in a teal and neon Puerto Rico shirt, sits among the little leaguers from his native country. Luisangel Acuña sits among the Venezuelan team. By now, the Little League swag has been spread around. Mark Vientos is spotted in a navy blue and red Mid-Atlantic jersey, while Brett Baty, Brooks Raley and Ryne Stanek are among the Mets players in a monochromatic hat. Juan Soto, Mets touch down at Williamsport Regional Airport All was quiet inside the Williamsport Regional Airport at around 10:15 p.m. on Sunday morning. A security agent snuck in breakfast in a small coffee shop while a woman and a young girl sat pressed to the window overlooking the runway. Other than those three people, the small community airport sat largely vacant. Outside on the tarmac, there was a degree of controlled pandemonium as a Delta jet came to a stop and the Latin America, donning orange and Mountain, decked in gold and red, waited for the stars of the show to descend the stairs. Outside on a fence bordering the runway, fans were pressed to the fence with signs. Members of the Mets went down the line, signing autographs for the two teams. Sean Manaea received an orange snapback hat from one of the players, while Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor lingered longer before boarding the bus to take in the day's action.

Behind Kelsey Mitchell's career high, Indiana Fever pick up massive win
Behind Kelsey Mitchell's career high, Indiana Fever pick up massive win originally appeared on The Sporting News Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever season has not gone like she and the organization had planned. Clark has played 13 games, and numerous other members of the Indiana Fever have also missed time. On Sunday, Sophie Cunningham went out with a knee injury, and going forward, her status is unknown. Indiana was on the ropes of losing their third straight game, as the Connecticut Sun led the game by 21 points. The Sun came into the game with a 6-26 record, which was the worst in the league. But Kelsey Mitchell and her teammates were rock solid and finished off an overtime win. Indiana finished the 99-93 come-from-behind effort. At the end of regulation, Tina Charles and Aliyah Boston went back and forth, both scoring in the final minute to tie the game. Connecticut got the ball with just shy of 20.0 and drew up a play. The ball eventually got to Marina Mabrey, and she was unable to connect in the lane. Indiana called a timeout with 1.4 to go, but could not get a shot off in overtime. Kelsey Mitchell got the first basket of overtime, which was the first lead for the Fever since 4-3. After Connecticut tied the game, Mitchell struck again, with back-to-back three pointers, and another bucket to finish with a season high 38 points. Mabrey led Connecticut in scoring with 27 points, while Charles scored 21. Now, all eyes remain on Indiana, and whether they can reach the postseason. At 19-16, the Fever have nine games to go. The remainder of August will see Indiana taking on Minnesota in home and away games, followed by games against the Storm, Sparks, and Valkyries. The first game against the Lynx comes on Friday. In September, Indiana starts at Phoenix, before coming home to host the Chicago Sky. In the final two games, the Fever first play at the Washington Mystics, and then have another game at home against the Minnesota Lynx.
