Noelia Voigt, Miss Utah USA 2023, is the winner.

The CW's first ever aired pageant, the 2023 Miss USA contest, put on quite a spectacle even though it wasn't Miss Mystic Falls. After several years on cable, the 72nd annual event made its network television debut on Friday, welcoming 51 state championship holders to Reno, Nevada's Grand Sierra Resort. This year's pageant, which was hosted by Keltie Knight and Adrienne Bailon-Houghton, had a diverse group of judges, including Vivica A. Fox, Nicole Miller, Emina Cunmulaj Nazarian, and Patrick Starrr, a makeup guru and influencer. Morgan Romano, the current Miss USA, spoke candidly about the feelings involved in this passing of the baton on social media as she presented the crown to this year's winner. Just one day before to appointing her successor, Romano posted on Instagram, "The biggest thing that I will miss about this position is the people. "I have made so many wonderful connections and they have all left a bit of themselves with me. Each interactio

Mbappe leaves the game injured as PSG destroys Marseille

In Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain thrashed Marseille 4-0 on Sunday thanks to goals from summer acquisition Goncalo Ramos and Kylian Mbappe, who was forced off with an injury in the first half. In winning the free-kick that allowed Achraf Hakimi to give PSG the lead at Parc des Princes in the eighth minute, Mbappe seemed to injure his ankle. Just after the halfway point, the French superstar was eventually substituted, but the home team went on to extend their lead before halftime through Randal Kolo Muani. Just after the break, Ramos headed in the third goal for the home team, and late on, he sealed the triumph for PSG, who had earlier defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the Champions League. After six games, the victory places Luis Enrique's club in fourth place, two points behind unexpected leaders Brest, who defeated Lyon 1-0 on Saturday. After a difficult week for the 1993 Champions League winners, Marseille, which had began the day unblemished and ahead of PSG in the table, was

A NCAA committee suggests eliminating marijuana from the list of prohibited substances.

Cannabinoids are a class of chemicals produced from the cannabis plant, and the NCAA committee suggested that each of the association's three divisional governance bodies develop and enact legislation to remove cannabinoids from the list of prohibited drug classes. The NCAA sent a press statement on Friday claiming that the suggestion was made by the NCAA Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports (CSMAS), which offers the association advice on player health. At their meeting this week in Indianapolis, committee members suggested creating a "robust educational strategy to accompany a potential change to cannabinoid legislation." The announcement added that the advice was supported by "extensive study informed by industry and subject matter experts," including doctors and substance abuse specialists, and informed by a summit on cannabinoids in college athletics held in December 2022. It also stated that "the consensus opinion formed

NFL Week 3 games may be impacted by a "potential" tropical storm off the Atlantic Ocean.

Sunday's NFL games could be significantly impacted by a "potential tropical cyclone" building in the Atlantic Ocean, which could bring strong winds and rain to the fields and spectator areas. On Thursday, the National Hurricane Center warned that a "life-threatening storm surge" was probable for parts of the Southeast and mid-Atlantic coasts and issued a tropical storm warning for parts of the East Coast as a result. The storm's potential consequences, according to the center, could start on Friday and last through the weekend as it advances north. "Heavy rainfall from this system could produce localized urban and small stream flooding impacts across the eastern mid-Atlantic states from North Carolina to New Jersey Friday through Sunday," the center warned. Three NFL games set to begin Sunday afternoon could be affected by the storm, if the current forecast holds true: NFL STATS CENTRAL: The latest NFL scores, schedules, odds, stats and more. New

Confirmed venue for Australia's first 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match

The Socceroos' journey to the 2026 FIFA World Cup will start in Melbourne on November 16 at AAMI Park when Australia takes on either Bangladesh or the Maldives. The Socceroos' first World Cup qualifier will be played in Victoria, Football Australia said on Wednesday morning. The Socceroos' opponent will be decided following the conclusion of a two-legged playoff in October. After being placed in Group I with Palestine and Lebanon, it is the first of six Second Round qualifiers the Socceroos will play. This round serves as qualifying for the Asian Cup that will be hosted in Saudi Arabia in 2027. "Over the past year, we've had the chance to add a few younger players to the team, and we've tested them against some top-notch competition. As we approach the start of a new World Cup qualification campaign, it has given us some priceless experience, and we're in a terrific position," Socceroos coach Graham Arnold said. It has been a long since we've ha

Puka Nacua, a Rams receiver, broke the NFL's single-game record for receptions by a rookie with 15 catches for 147 yards in Los Angeles' 30-23 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. He also established a new league record with 25 catches in his first two games of the season. Each of the following players had a 14-catch game as a rookie: Najee Harris (2021), Saquon Barkley (2018), Roy Helu (2011), and Don Looney (1940). With his tenth catch on Sunday, Nacua beat Earl Cooper's record for the most receptions by a player through his first two games, set in 1980. Cooper's previous mark stood for a week after Nacua recorded 10 catches for 119 yards in his NFL debut. Nacua became the first player to have 10 receptions and 100 receiving yards in each of his first two NFL games on the following play, breaking the 100-yard receiving mark. Nacua has joined Looney (1940), DeSean Jackson (2008), and Will Fuller V (2016) as one of only four players in NFL history to record 100

NFL extends Tottenham agreement for games in London until 2029

The NFL on Thursday expanded a pact for matches at the Premier League venue to include at least two games annually at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London through 2029. The NFL will also officially designate the stadium as the "Home of the NFL in the UK." NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stated that "growing the game internationally is a major strategic priority for the league." "Our dedication to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will enable us to continue bringing extraordinary NFL experiences to fans in London, while creating a positive social and economic impact on the local community," the NFL said in a statement. After skipping 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the NFL started playing games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with two matches in 2019 and has since played there twice a year for the past two seasons. This season's NFL games between the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans on October 15 and the games between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bi

So far in the 2023-24 season, the NCAA has approved only 18% of multi-year transfers.

For the 2023-24 school year, the NCAA is finally cracking down on multiple-time transfers across the country. According to CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein, the NCAA has only approved 18% of waiver requests for athletes who want to be instantly eligible in their respective sports. Beginning in 2021, the NCAA granted student-athletes a free transfer to use in their collegiate careers. Since then, players all around the country have moved two, three, and even four times. The NCAA has attempted to figure out how to handle multiple-time transfers. The NCAA said this summer that they will be more stringent in the waiver procedure for anyone transferring for the second time. Over the last eight months, West Virginia's basketball team has had a difficult time clearing waivers. After transferring in late October, WVU G Jose Perez had his waiver and appeal refused last season. Perez is expected to play a significant role for the Mountaineers in his last year of college basketball after a len
