With the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback on leave after his arrest in July, CBS brought a dependable presence into the booth with Jim Nantz

If you were looking for insight from the CBS team broadcasting Minnesota’s 39-22 comeback win over Green Bay on Sunday afternoon, you were rewarded even before the first snap.

Asked by his play-by-play partner, Jim Nantz, what he was focusing on with new Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray, JJ Watt told viewers that Murray was playing against his former head coach Jonathan Gannon. The now-Green Bay defensive coordinator was dismissed from the head coaching job in Arizona at the end of last season.

Le Baseball I.D s’incline en demi-finale

13 septembre 2026 à 19:00

La saison 2026 du Baseball I.D de Rimouski a pris fin dimanche après-midi à la maison quand le Laurier de Victoriaville est venu gagner les deux matchs pour enlever la série demi-finale 3 de 5 de la Ligue de baseball junior AA de la région de Québec par trois victoires contre une.

Dans la première partie du programme double, le Laurier a eu le meilleur par 6-2 face au lanceur gaucher Félix-Antoine Beaudet, frappé pour dix coups sûrs et six points, dont cinq mérités, en sept manches de travail. Jakob Tremblay et Alexandre Bérubé ont frappé chacun deux fois en lieu sûr dans la défaite.

Dans la seconde, les visiteurs ont eu le meilleur par 5-3. Ils ont su résister à une menace en 7e manche, la partie prenant fin avec deux coureurs en position de marquer.

« On est passé très proche. On était à un coup sûr d’égaliser le pointage. On avait une chance de continuer et j’avais encore des bras sur le monticule », a commenté Dominic Sirois, fier de son équipe.

Gabriel Lévesque encaisse le revers. Il a accordé six coups sûrs et quatre points, dont un seul mérité, en cinq manches. Anthony Côté a deux des cinq coups sûrs de son équipe.

Sirois en était à une troisième saison à la barre du Baseball I.D. Il confirme qu’il sera de retour l’an prochain. Ce ne sera toutefois pas le cas de son adjoint, Martin Lévesque.

« C’est notre meilleure saison depuis que je suis là. On a fini avec une fiche de 14-8, un des meilleurs rendements de l’équipe depuis plusieurs années. On a terminé quatrième officiellement dans le classement général de la Ligue, puis perdu en demi-finale contre les premiers de la Ligue en plus. On n’a pas à être déçu, on a eu vraiment une belle saison et une belle progression cette année. Il n’y a que deux joueurs qui nous quittent en raison de l’âge. Sinon, les 14 autres sont éligibles à revenir. Et, il y a une couple de joueurs midget qui s’en viennent », mentionne le gérant.

Fait particulier: joueurs et instructeurs du Laurier ont fait le voyage à Rimouski par avion, dimanche avant-midi !

Alexander Zverev claims first US Open after four-set battle with Ben Shelton

  • No 1 seed wins 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2

  • American’s hopes dashed in tense final

For a passing moment at the end of a rugged third set, hope sprung anew for Ben Shelton. He had been outserved and outplayed for nearly three hours, but at 6-5 in the third set, one game from defeat, the American finally broke through. He burst into the return game finally pounding his forehand freely and he willed himself into an unexpected fourth set.

After he had finished pumping his fist, cupping his ear to the crowd and admirably trying to initiate a drastic momentum shift, the next sequence was most revealing. Shelton opened the fourth set with a shaky game, immediately losing his serve at the start of the set. He worked hard until the end, but he was beaten by Zverev, the top seed, who closed out a 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2 victory to lift his second grand slam title of the year.

Cinq passes de touché pour les Pionniers qui gagnent à La Pocatière

13 septembre 2026 à 18:00

Les Pionniers du Cégep de Rimouski ont joué un très fort match dimanche à La Pocatière en prenant la mesure des Gaulois par la marque de 42-32. 

Habilement dirigée par le quart-arrière Roméo Michel, l’offensive des Pionniers s’est imposée du début à la fin. Michel y est allé d’une performance de cinq passes de touché. Samuel Normand a trois majeurs dans la rencontre, les autres allant à Zachary Leblanc, avec deux, et Maxime Tardif. 

Les Gaulois étaient en avance 21-17 à la demie avant de voir les Pionniers exploser pour 28 points dans les trente dernières minutes de jeu. 

« Après notre partie de la semaine passée, on voulait rebondir. On a fait ça de belle manière. Samuel Normand a vraiment eu une bonne partie. Roméo aussi nous a donné un solide match avec ses cinq passes de touché et aucune interception contre lui. En défensive, il y a Thomas Dominique qui a une interception puis Philippe Dufour aussi, lui qui a connu vraiment un fort match avec plusieurs plaqués en plus de son interception », a commenté Louis-David Goulet.

C’est en congé en fin de semaine prochaine pour les équipes de la section Nord-Est. Les Pionniers seront les visiteurs à Thetford le samedi 26 septembre à 13 h avec comme enjeu la deuxième position au classement. Les deux équipes présentent un dossier de 2-1, derrière Jonquière qui a une fiche de 3-0.

  • Buffalo beat Houston thanks to late rally

Caleb Williams threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 65 yards and two more scores as the Chicago Bears defeated the Carolina Panthers in the highest-scoring season opener in NFL history. Chicago and Carolina scored eight more points than the previous record of 88 set in Tampa Bay’s 48-40 win over New Orleans in 2018. Coach Ben Johnson’s prolific Bears also broke a franchise record for points in an opener, a mark that had stood since 1948, when Chicago hung 45 points on Green Bay at Wrigley Field. The 59 points were the most allowed by the Panthers in team history. D’Andre Swift, who received a $33.75m contract extension earlier this week, ran for 124 yards on 18 carries with three touchdowns, while Kyle Monangai had 100 yards rushing, including a 61-yard touchdown burst.

Russo-Ukrainian war, day 1663: Russia strikes a passenger train near the Polish border as drone swarms push deeper into western Ukraine

13 septembre 2026 à 17:00

Exclusives

Ukraine is working down the short list of ships that shell its cities with cruise missiles. A Neptune reached one of them tied up at its own pier. Drones went in with the missile, and the general staff counts three more vessels and the port's fuel-oil storage hit the same night.

Military

Russia strikes passenger train near Polish border as drone swarms reach deeper into western Ukraine. Russia's attacks on railways and border crossings are putting civilian travel at growing risk. Poland's Donald Tusk warned days earlier that Moscow could target Ukraine's crossings with Poland.

Watch first naval battle in history fought entirely by drones: Ukrainian uncrewed boat spots, fires on, and sinks Russian one in Black Sea. A gun-armed Sargan-3000 spotted and sank a Russian naval drone in the Black Sea.

Ukraine is closing Russia's skies without hitting single airliner: Russia shut its airports 993 times in August, worst month for civil aviation since war began. The closures are triggered by Russia's own emergency protocol every time a drone nears.

Ukraine retook 240 square km north of Lyman and nobody reported it for three months. The 3rd Army Corps attacked on 22 May and nobody outside the army reported it until late August. Whether it changes the war is the one thing the analysts do not agree on.

Future wars will be won not only by those who have the best technological systems, Ukraine's former top general says in London. Valerii Zaluzhnyi says an expensive Cold War missile has become a cheap weapon fired in bulk.

Russia has fired its Oreshnik with six warheads at Ukraine three times. State Duma defense committee member says "hour is not far" before fourth one. He cast it as revenge for a naval drone strike on Sochi.

Intelligence and technology

Fast kill but also long game: Russia is using AI-generated women and long conversations to lure Ukrainian soldiers to their deaths. The fake profiles are one of three versions of a honey-trap scheme that has killed six soldiers, the SBU says.

Russia is working to modernize its weapons on every front. This month, its drones are expected to carry 20-element anti-jam antennas to outpace Ukraine's jamming. Russia's new drones and cruise weapons navigate rather than fly, so Ukraine has to jam GPS, not the operator link.

A Russian intelligence operative and a Belarusian petty criminal: Germany names the Leipzig bomb-drone suspects. The files show one of them handled preparation and logistics, and the other left a scrap of glove on the equipment that flew the drone.

Second fire in a month hits the Bulgarian plant that ships ammunition to Ukraine, and sabotage is on the table. The country's interior minister has ordered every ammunition depot in the country inspected and says outside interference cannot be excluded.

"Its task is not cargo. Its task is people": After Russian FPV drone hit their house, K-2 brigade sent ground robot to carry casualties out.

"Credit to the Russians, they know how to scale," Ukrainian military spokesperson says. Ukraine's jet-drone interceptors show early promise, but harder job ahead. Scaling them up to match Ukraine's success against slower drones is the real test.

Money, not engineering, is what stands between Ukraine and Russia's fastest drones, Zelenskyy says. Dozens of firms are chasing the problem, but nobody has funded production at the scale the nightly waves demand.

International

Ukraine's fight against Russia reaches Africa as Ukrainian drone specialists support forces battling Moscow. Ukrainian drone specialists are supporting forces fighting Russian troops in Mali, training personnel from other Sahel countries and operating in Sudan as Kyiv expands its military activity far beyond Ukraine.

From Russian classrooms to Iran's defense industry: how Moscow trains Iranian specialists. Almost 10,000 Iranians studied at Russian universities in 2025, 42% more than two years earlier, by the Russian science ministry's count, with medicine still the most popular field.

The EU just released $7 billion for Ukraine to buy Patriot missiles and drones. The money comes from Europe's existing loan to Kyiv, and the decision finally lets Ukraine place orders for the American interceptors it cannot build itself.

A drone beside a Ukrainian cargo plane is costing Russia its last consulate in Germany. Four others closed in 2023, leaving Moscow with an embassy and, from this month, no consular presence outside it.

Ukraine shows its drones in Canada as Ottawa pledges a third of its future output. The presentation followed a declaration on defense cooperation that Kyiv calls the first step toward a drone deal still to be signed.

Humanitarian and social impact

"There is real hunger there": Oleshky, occupied town in Ukraine's Kherson Oblast, turned 942 this week. Behind Russian blockade, its people eat roadside grass. The 942-year-old Kherson city has spent months cut off, its aid convoys shelled.

Ukraine's Third Army Corps won't just hold Donetsk fortress cities. It's building mission to pull civilians out of them. A dedicated fund is opening to pay for more trips, more often.

"Sometimes I forget I don't have a leg": how two Ukrainian infantry soldiers returned to war behind screens. Two Ukrainian soldiers who lost limbs to mines have returned to Khartiia, their National Guard unit, working the drone screens, instead of walking into positions on the ground.

Political and legal developments

EU has never sanctioned Russia's nuclear sector. Activists say that gap just let Rosatom into German plant, and they're suing to close it. BUND says letting Russia's Rosatom help make fuel at the Lingen plant, amid the war and sabotage in Germany, hands Moscow critical infrastructure.

Ukraine's parliament changes how military budget is cleared, and freezes money behind one of war's cleverest supply schemes, defense-industry council says. The program lets Ukrainian units turn confirmed kills into new weapons, but a parliamentary rule change has frozen the payments.

EU sanctions rollover stalls over Russian oligarch Usmanov as Paris backs Bratislava's demand to delist him. Ambassadors broke up with no agreement on renewing the measures, and they have one sitting left before every restriction on the list runs out on its own.

Canada sanctions eight Russians over deported Ukrainian children as only about 2,500 of more than 20,000 have come home. Ottawa's listing bars anyone in Canada from handling the property of the eight, and it took effect a week before Ukraine's leader arrived for talks.
