Does the Philadelphia Eagles player have a right to do this and that?
(1) Will they accept a loss?
The Yankees just lost two in a row.
(2) In Bulgaria there's a racecar driver who has tested positive for amphetamines.
(3) Can professional athletes maybe stay out of politics so they can focus on their jobs?
---
The field test of the driver who caused a crash during the Aladzha Monastery hill climb car race in Varna earlier in the day has come back positive for amphetamines, Chief Commissioner Petko Kamburov, head of the Traffic Police in the Black Sea city, said at a news conference.
Former Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez drunkenly attacked a 69-year-old delivery driver before being stabbed by him in self-defense, Indianapolis police said in court documents released Sunday. Sanchez, 38, was hospitalized early Saturday after the stabbing in downtown Indianapolis. He was arrested at the hospital later that day but remained at the facility in stable condition.
The Eagles lost yesterday at home to Denver.
Two men from Rhode Island were arrested early Sunday following an overnight attack on several Boston Police cruisers, the Boston Police Department said in a statement. Julian Bowers, 18, of Cumberland, R.I., and William Cantwell, 19, of Warwick, R.I., each face several charges in connection with the incident, which took place at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Tremont Street.
Jalen Hurts had yet another Jekyll and Hyde outing. He was sharp in the first half and the first drive of the second half. He could little right in the final 25-plus minutes. Hurts completed 16 of 24 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns on the Eagles’ first seven possessions. He was just 7 of 14 for 68 yards in the final five. Overall, he took six sacks, several on third down when throwaways were possible.
Azeez Ojulari was active for the first time after Ogbo Okoronkwo’s season-ending triceps injury. He flashed several times in the first half. He had a run tackle for loss and hurried Nix into an errant throw on third down when he beat Broncos Pro Bowl left tackle Garett Bolles. Joshua Uche had a hit in the second quarter. Moro Ojomo had a run tackle near the line in the second quarter.
Both the Cubs and the Yankees lost over the weekend.
The Cubs’ failure to get a reliable starter at the trade deadline has hurt them in the postseason, and it has been exacerbated by the loss of rookie Cade Horton. The history of starters going on three days’ rest in the postseason should’ve sent off alarm bells, but with only Colin Rea as a viable option, Counsell rolled the dice on Boyd and lost in Game 1.
All year long, Max Fried was the Yankees’ stopper. In 16 regular-season starts that followed a Yankees loss, Fried went 11-1 with a 1.82 ERA. The Yankees won 12 of those games. But Fried faltered Sunday in Game 2 of the ALDS, delivering his worst start in nearly two months in a 13-7 loss to Toronto Blue Jays that left the Yankees on the brink of elimination.

Bader went to the University of Maryland and he's telling everyone he has a groin injury.
Phillies outfielder Harrison Bader exited Game 1 of the National League Division Series early on Saturday after suffering groin tightness in the fifth inning. The Phillies had Nick Castellanos pinch-hit for Bader in the seventh inning. The injury was initially announced as a hamstring strain, but after the game, manager Rob Thomson clarified that it was groin tightness.
Kiké Hernández used to play for the Astros.
But Strahm left a fastball over the plate away, right where Dodgers slugger Teoscar Hernández likes them, according to catcher J.T. Realmuto. Hernández hit it for a three-run homer that turned a one-run Phillies lead into a cuticle-chomping 5-3 loss in Game 1 of the National League Division Series.
With two on and two out in the sixth, Rob Thomson left Sánchez, a Cy Young contender, in the game to face Kiké Hernández, who pulled a 1-0 slider down the left-field line and scored two runs, making it a 3-2 game. Did he consider replacing Sánchez with a right-hander, like David Robertson? “I did think about bringing him in on Kiké, but he had handled Kiké pretty good,” Thomson explained. Hernández had grounded out twice. Thomson then called on Robertson, who escaped.
Jeremy Swayman in fine form as the Bruins wrap up preseason with win over the Rangers Boston’s final dress rehearsal mapped out the template that Sturm’s squad must adhere to if it wants to exceed expectations — with a stout showing in net from Jeremy Swayman serving as an emphatic stamp on a 4-1 win over the Rangers at TD Garden. Nikita Zadorov tallied two goals, while Pavel Zacha and Elias Lindholm (a power-play marker) also lit the lamp. The 21-year-old center has drawn high praise from Sturm for his refined two-way game and workman-like approach. The youngster complemented that with tangible production — setting up Zadorov’s opening salvo with a slick backhand feed at 5:55 of the first period. That creativity was on display with tic-tac-toe passing in the first that ended with Zacha snapping a puck past Igor Shesterkin’s blocker at 14:39.

Google said it plans to lay off dozens of workers at its Sunnyvale offices, following job reductions at other large tech firms. In August, Salesforce said it cut 4,000 support roles due to AI helping automate tasks. Other tech businesses, including Intel, Microsoft and Meta have also reduced staff while investing more in AI this year.
A Valparaiso University graduate living in Michigan is the lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit accusing the university of negligence over a data breach that included names and Social Security numbers, and a slow response in alerting affected parties about the breach. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday on behalf of Zachary Clark, who graduated in 2014, in U.S. District Court in Hammond.
Cardlytics Inc., an Atlanta-based marketing software firm, has cut nearly one-third of its workforce as part of a major cost-savings effort. Cardlytics said Thursday it laid off 120 workers, including contractors, reducing its workforce by 30%. A company spokesperson said Friday about 90 are full-time employees.

What did a crowd member yell at Lowry? As Lowry steadied himself for a putt, a patron called out: "Can you see the ball, you big fat f***?" They added: "Look down, you can't see it!" Unfortunately for the fan, it turned out Lowry could see the ball just fine. The Irishman blocked out all the noise and showed remarkable composure amid the pressure to sink his putt.

ATHENS — Georgia wide receiver Talyn Taylor will need surgery after sustaining an upper-body injury at practice on Thursday. Per a Georgia spokesperson, there is no definitive timetable for his recovery but he is expected to make a full recovery. Taylor was a five-star wide receiver prospect in Georgia’s 2025 signing class.
Off to the side, a 39-year-old Yu Darvish sat next to a 33-year-old Manny Machado as pitching coach Ruben Niebla stopped by. Darvish is owed another $46 million through 2028, but in the wake of a 3-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs that ended the Padres’ season, he was in no place mentally to even begin to digest what it’s going to take for him to pitch next season.
A woman is facing a murder charge after being arrested by Los Angeles police in connection with a body found inside a burned Honda Civic in South Los Angeles, police said. Sandra Romo Diaz, 52, of Los Angeles was arrested by Los Angeles Police Department detectives in connection with the death of Soledad Lopez, whose body was found in the car Sept. 9. Detectives arrested Romo Diaz on Sept. 16, and two days later, county prosecutors charged Romo with murder. She has pleaded not guilty. According to the murder charge, Romo Diaz is accused of killing Lopez on Sept. 7. The car had been towed to the lot on Sept. 8 from the 6800 block of South Flower Street, according to records. L.A. City firefighters extinguished the vehicle fire
but did not check inside the car and did not see the woman’s remains, according to two sources familiar with the investigation. The tow yard operator called the LAPD when family members arrived and said they wanted to look in the car, so Missing Persons Unit investigators rushed to the scene and found the woman’s partially burned body in the trunk on Sept. 9, according to police.

You wish these women would have somehow avoided these violent deaths.
The body of a woman who had been reported missing for days was found hidden behind a “secret wall” in a Northern California home on Tuesday, according to authorities. Renia Lewis, 28, was last seen Friday and was reported missing Sunday before her body was found behind a “concealed entry into the attic” of a Vallejo home, the Vallejo Police Department announced in a news release. The search for Lewis led investigators to a home on 14th Street, where officers saw “indications that the missing woman may have been inside the residence at some point before going missing,” so they went inside, the news release said. Officers searched the rooms, closets and places a person could hide but couldn’t find Lewis.
A teenage girl found dead in a Long Island dumpster has been identified 42 years after her body was found, police announced Wednesday. Susan Mann, of Hollis, Queens, was 15 years old when she disappeared from home in May 1980. She has now been identified as a “Jane Doe” found in a Freeport dumpster in November 1982. No arrests or suspects were announced Wednesday by Nassau County police or were previously connected to Mann’s disappearance or the teenage Jane Doe.

The owner of an Illinois-based masonry company was sentenced Wednesday to 7½ years in prison for participating in what federal prosecutors called an “extraordinarily brash” bribery scheme that helped inflate the cost of a $100 million renovation project at 30th Street Station. Four of those charged were from Mark 1, while two others worked for a second company that also lavished Bhaskaran with similarly pricey gifts. Bhaskaran, meanwhile, had been charged with unrelated wire fraud, but died of heart failure in 2019. In court Wednesday, Snedden said he was “deeply sorry” for his actions in the case.
While discussing the Wrigley Field wind factor last weekend in the Chicago Cubs clubhouse, starter Shota Imanaga insisted he doesn’t worry about it when he’s pitching. “I don’t think the wind matters that much,” he said through an interpreter. “Realistically, even if the wind is blowing in and they square up, it’s still going to go for a homer.” San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado proved Imanaga right on Wednesday in Game 2 of the wild-card series, hitting a two-run, fifth-inning home run into the wind off the left-hander that paved the way to a 3-0 win over the Cubs, evening the best-of-three series at a game apiece.

We're waiting to see Sean Combs' sentence.
Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson took the blame Monday for a tense exchange with CBS reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala during halftime of Sunday’s 25-24 win against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Bears had been held to 90 yards of offense in the first half, and Kinkhabwala asked, “Do you think you need to change what you’re doing?” The “do you” part of her question was barely audible, and Johnson appeared to interpret it as a pointed criticism: “You need to change what you’re doing.” Johnson shot back: “I don’t know, you think so? We’re going to be just fine.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Prosecutors urged a New York federal judge Tuesday to send Sean “Diddy” Combs to prison for over 11 years following his conviction on prostitution-related charges, citing one of his accusers who said she lives in fear of the music mogul’s release from detention. Combs faces sentencing Friday The elaborate dayslong, drug-fueled sexual events were often filmed by Combs. Defense attorneys have asked that he be sentenced to no more than 14 months in prison. Sentencing is set for Friday. In July, Combs was convicted of two charges for violating the Mann Act, which outlaws interstate commerce related to prostitution, for arranging the paid sexual encounters between his girlfriends and male sex workers.

Is Tom Brady quarterback?
The Philadelphia fans are complaining about Tom Brady. That he isn't a good announcer and he says weird stuff during the games.
On the eve of Clippers training camp, owner Steve Ballmer and the team are facing pressures over an NBA probe into allegations that the team circumvented the league salary cap when a sustainability firm paid star Kawhi Leonard $21 million. Since purchasing the team a decade ago, Ballmer has been on a quest to bring the also-ran Clippers their first NBA title. The billionaire philanthropist has been alternately encouraged and frustrated with a team that has posted a winning record every season under his ownership, but has made early exits from the playoffs a habit. He also spearheaded the construction of the most technologically advanced and environmentally friendly arena in sports — the $2-billion Intuit Dome that opened a year ago to rave reviews. Now, a top-rated law firm hired by the NBA is trying to determine whether the team violated league rules by funneling extra money to Leonard through a separate company in which the Clippers’ owner was an investor. Over the last few weeks, Ballmer has been pressed for details about his $50-million investment and 2%-3% ownership stake in the firm Aspiration Partners, and whether the Clippers knew that the now-defunct company paid millions to Leonard through an endorsement deal. Aspiration provided what the company described as “socially-conscious and sustainable banking services and investment products.”

LOUD NOISES from Tom Brady on this Baker Mayfield run. #NFL
Speaking of Brady, there have been concerns about conflicts of interest with the Las Vegas Raiders, of whom he is a minority owner, but he appeared to show a level of bias toward the Bucs, from whom he retired and won his final Super Bowl. Just listen to him cheering for this Mayfield run. It was a great run, but come on.

Hey Donna! I don't cover the Commanders or any pro football, but agree it's quite the thing! Will be interesting to see how it unfolds from here. Thanks for writing, Jesse
Hi! I’m writing about the story in today’s post. That’s really something about Terry McLaurin being injured and not playing this week against the Falcons in Atlanta. I wonder if the whole time he was in the contract dispute he already knew he couldn’t play much because of injuries. Maybe that was a bad decision to keep him on the team. I wonder how many games he’ll play this season. Thank you. Donna
At the time I thought to myself that it was a dumb question.

A new study has discovered that arsenic was found in 2022 at a Gary well that has served as a drinking resource for some of the community. A representative for the U.S. Geological Survey presented findings of a soon to-be-released study to the Little Calumet River Basin Development Commission in August. The study includes test results from 2022 and 2023 at groundwater wells in Northwest Indiana.
A deal was in the works for four years in prison and two on work release. He was ok with that, Garcia said. Then, Deputy Prosecutor Adam Martin called him days before a scheduled deposition to tell him that they could not go forward with a drunken driving portion of the case, because Baum was tested more than three hours afterwards. A new plea deal would be just for community corrections.
The 76ers waived small forward Igor Miličić Jr. on Saturday, two months after signing him to an Exhibit 10 contract. This clears the way for the 6-foot-10, 225-pound small forward to join the team’s NBA G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats. Exhibit 10 players get bonuses up to $75,000 to sign with a team’s G League affiliate. Before playing the 2024-25 season at Tennessee, Miličić spent two seasons at Charlotte and one at Virginia. He averaged 8.8 points and 5.6 rebounds in 119 career games with the Vols, Charlotte, and Virginia. Miličić has played for the Polish national team. His father, Igor Miličić Sr., was the head coach for Napoli Basket of the Italian Lega Basket Serie A. He currently coaches the Polish national team.

How Joel Embiid sounds like Caleb Williams.
A Suffolk County sheriff’s corrections officer was busted this summer for allegedly trafficking methamphetamine, and another employee for that office was recently fired for allegedly smuggling hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of a synthetic cannabinoid to an inmate in court. The details of these incidents have not been previously reported, and they add to the controversies buffeting the sheriff’s department in recent weeks. In August, after federal prosecutors brought extortion charges against him, Suffolk County Sheriff Steven W. Tompkins announced he was going on leave.
Joel Embiid kicked off the 76ers’ media day five minutes early, with a “’Sup, guys?” as he settled in for his first news conference in more than seven months. Up next was Paul George, who faced questions for the first time since arthroscopic knee surgery in July. After injuries derailed their first season as teammates, Embiid and George expressed optimism about their health less than a month before the Sixers’ regular season opener.
Loyola University Medical Center knowingly performed organ transplants on unsuitable patients to boost Medicare billing, leading to harm and death, according to a former hospital official whose recently unsealed federal lawsuit alleges a larger scheme “to extract federal and state funds from a system meant to support organ donation and save lives.” Patrek Chase, former executive director for Loyola’s Solid Organ Transplant Programs and Outpatient Dialysis Clinic, alleges in the lawsuit that Loyola had area hospitals transfer “their sickest patients” for transplants.

The Illinois Supreme Court, which regulates the legal profession in the state, ordered the suspension Friday based on the April recommendation of a disciplinary hearing board. It will take effect Oct. 10 and is scheduled to end Dec. 9. The board found DeVore violated a state Supreme Court rule prohibiting attorneys “from engaging in conduct, while representing a client, that has no substantial purpose other than to embarrass, burden, or delay a third party” by sending an email to one of the company’s vendors a day after Craig filed for bankruptcy in which he referred to her as “a petulant child who has no idea what to say or do.” Despite a court-ordered stay stemming from the bankruptcy case, DeVore filed a lawsuit against Craig, seeking to dissolve their company, which the hearing board found violated a rule barring attorneys from bringing frivolous actions.

Travis Kelce is from Cleveland, Ohio. His dad worked for a steel company. I think maybe he had bad knees and I wonder if he was on medications a lot. Maybe he was in the army briefly. The mom is also from Cleveland. They met in a bar by the lake. The bar isn’t there anymore. My grandpa was in the army and he worked for Sears. I think my grandpa worked but maybe Travis’ dad didn’t work. Also my grandpa was a VFW. I think maybe Travis’ dad wasn’t in the army for very long. Last year Travis was looking to buy a house on the east coast and they found a dead body on the property. In California that happens a lot. Sometimes it really is the homeowner who did it.
I disagree with the White House about Luigi. But, they are right about a lot of things. I blame him for getting back surgery and encouraging others to get back surgery.

Scottish DJ and record producer Calvin Harris has fallen out with his business manager Thomas St. John to the tune of $22.5 million over funding for a large-scale real estate development in the heart of Hollywood. The $500-million mixed-use project planned for the busy intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Highland Avenue “has been, at best, a complete boondoggle, and, at worst, a complete fraud,” Harris said in court documents. St. John has denied any wrongdoing. According to an arbitration demand filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court,Harris, whose legal name is Adam Wiles, said he made a $10-million loan and a $12.5-million equity investment in the project called the CMNTY Culture Campus intended to have a recording studio cultivated to the tastes of top musical artists along with restaurants and high-rise apartments.

Sloppy electrical work by an Atlanta contracting firm caused a worker’s electrocution at a massive data center under construction in Fayetteville, his parents allege in a lawsuit. The complaint, filed Monday against Allison-Smith Company, blames its negligence for the recent death of 25-year-old Anthony J. Riera Azuaje. He was electrocuted while working at the data center south of Atlanta on June 28 and died in a hospital four days later, the suit says. A representative for Allison-Smith did not immediately comment on the incident and associated lawsuit. The data center is being developed by Quality Technology Services, known as QTS, which is not a defendant in the case. A QTS spokesperson did not immediately respond to an inquiry Tuesday.
A former associate provost at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst has paid a $10,000 fine for violating the state’s conflict of interest law by hiring her brother to work in her department, the State Ethics Commission said Wednesday.

Illinois Department of Corrections employees were allowed to work overtime on the same days they were on paid leave, raising concerns by the state’s chief auditor that prison employees were abusing overtime, according to an audit released Tuesday. The report from Auditor General Frank Mautino’s office, covering a two-year period through June 30, 2024, noted the corrections agency was called out by the state for this same issue a decade earlier and “management has been unsuccessful in implementing a corrective action plan to remedy this deficiency.”
Nikita Zadorov is in Boston.
Eyssimont made a shorthand strike the first of his two goals, and followed that four minutes later with an even-strength marker to cut the Ranger lead to 4-3. He then picked up the primary assist on Marat Khusnutdinov’s 4-4 equalizer (also shorthanded) with 1:05 left in regulation — setting the stage for Nikita Zadorov’s game winner at 3:27 of OT. Zadorov, after denting the net with the winner, immediately raced off the ice, as if the trying to catch the last train out of Penn Station, then quickly jumped back to join in the on-ice celebration. “Yeah,” kidded a smiling Zadorov post-game when asked about the initial exit. ”Just wanted to go home to my family.”
Younghoe Koo is in New York City.
Sauls, who’s an undrafted rookie, made five of his six field-goal attempts in the Steelers’ three exhibition games. He was signed to compete with Parker Romo, who missed field goals from 49 and 55 yards against the Panthers. Romo made 5-of-5 field goal attempts in the win over the Vikings, including a 54-yarder. The Falcons released former Pro Bowl kicker Younghoe Koo on Friday. He was signed to the Giants practice squad. “We have to bring competition in,” Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Monday. Sauls, who’s 5-foot-10 and 185 pounds, played at the University of Pittsburgh. He was signed by the Steelers after going undrafted.
In Georgia there’s a drought.
Most afternoons this summer, swaths of Georgia faced the possibility of soaking rains from afternoon thunderstorms. Then, last month, the spigot in the sky turned off over much of the state. Since then, Atlanta, Columbus, Macon and towns in between have hardly seen any rainfall, according to the National Weather Service. As a result, worsening dry conditions now cover a large — and growing — portion of the Peach State.
SAVANNAH ― Talk about the water supply in Savannah and you’ll hear of a glass half empty — and getting emptier. At least until International Paper shutters its cardboard mill later this month. The mill is by far Savannah’s thirstiest operation, consuming about 40% of the local freshwater draw. International Paper’s 24 million gallons a day rival the 27 million gallons the city of Savannah water utility uses to sustain other residences and businesses within the city, six neighboring municipalities and parts of unincorporated Chatham County.
The laboratory is a historic site and now these new employees are there.
OneDigital, an Atlanta-based insurance and financial services company, has received a multi-billion dollar investment to fuel its expansion, the company announced Friday. The deal values the company at $7.2 billion. Its new investors are Connecticut-based Stone Point Capital and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, which invests the contributions collected by Canada’s government-sponsored retirement income program. The two are investing a combined $2.3 billion in OneDigital for a majority stake in the company, according to OneDigital’s CEO and co-founder Adam Bruckman. The deal is expected to close by the end of the year, pending regulatory approval. Bruckman and his co-founder Mike Sullivan started the company in 2000 to help other companies manage employee benefits, insurance and human resources.

Fantasy sports giant PrizePicks announced Monday it agreed to sell a majority stake for $1.6 billion to a Swiss lottery operator. PrizePicks, which is undergoing expansion to its Atlanta headquarters, agreed to sell a more than 60% stake to Allwyn International AG, according to a news release. The companies say the deal will provide PrizePicks the resources to continue its meteoric growth while expanding Allwyn’s U.S. footprint. PrizePicks CEO Mike Ybarra and other existing C-suite members will remain in place as part of the transaction, which was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. The controlling interest sale will also not slow the company’s growth commitments to Atlanta, which include expanding its workforce here by 1,000 employees by 2031, a spokesperson told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Remember they have two cell phones.
After three games, Falcons coach Raheem Morris has a problem on his hands. The offense that was supposed to dazzle the NFL with its array of playmakers can barely get out of its own way. The Falcons needlessly burn timeouts because of play-calling communication problems. They can’t score in the red zone. The passing game has produced one touchdown, fewest in the NFL. By one metric tabulated by Pro Football Reference — points per drive — the Falcons have the second least-efficient offense in the NFL at 1.31 points per possession.

The man, who police identified as homeless and well-known to business owners in the area, told officers he was friends with Harlow, according to an arrest warrant. Surveillance footage revealed that Harlow and the homeless man were hanging out near the storage area around 8 p.m. About an hour later, she was seen walking alone near a man riding a red moped. Police eventually identified the man on the moped as Elliot. Harlow was then seen pointing toward the storage area and entering it with Elliot, the warrant details. Harlow was then seen pointing toward the storage area and entering it with Elliot, the warrant details. Not long after, officials said Elliot was seen carrying clothes to the front of the shopping complex, returning to the storage area and then leaving the scene.

Chicago’s top water officials defended Monday their decision to skirt a law requiring the city to warn nearly a million Chicagoans that their water comes from toxic lead service pipes. Aldermen pressed Department of Water Management leaders during a City Council hearing about why the department has fallen far short of notification requirements. The city has mailed out fewer than a tenth of the letters it was required to send by a federal notification deadline in November 2024, acknowledged Patrick Schwer, director of water quality surveillance. But he defended the decision as a practical move to spend more money on fixing pipes.

After guiding Governor Maura Healey’s economic development efforts for two years, Yvonne Hao is taking on a new leadership role that could also have a big impact on the local economy: She is joining venture capital firm Flagship Pioneering next week as its chief operating officer and a general partner.
In DuPont Circle I had a supervisor and he was from Baltimore. I told him a story once about what some other guy had said to me. He listened quietly and thought about what I said. I told him every detail of what everyone had said in the story. And then he calmy said, “He was lying. He made that up. That’s not actually true what he said.”
How Ben Johnson confessed to throwing the challenge flag wrong. This Atlanta guy did the same thing, he just didn’t throw the flag. It’s what they aren’t doing.
CHARLOTTE, N.C.— Chau Smith-Wade waited and baited Michael Penix Jr. into making the worst throw of his career. Now Falcons coach Raheem Morris was looking across the field, wishing and hoping as game officials gathered to discuss the penalty flag on the field. Maybe the Panthers would save Morris’ team by negating the play with a foul. The bumbling Falcons needed all the help they could get. But there was no such luck for Morris: Penix’s pick-six stood, and the Falcons were on their way to a humiliating defeat on Sunday. The Falcons lost 30-0 to one of the few teams that’s been as inept as them over the past several years. What’s worse is that much of the blame was on Penix. Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot deemed him as the next franchise quarterback after Matt Ryan, and now Penix is 2-4 as the starter. Honestly, I don’t like the quarterback record stat because it often doesn’t tell the real story of the game. It did on this day.
The lows are lower than normal.
Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. had his worst game in the NFL. He was off the mark and high on his passes out to his right. He completed 18-of-36 passes for 172 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. He finished with a passer rating of 40.5. Kirk Cousins came on in relief to close out the game. Morris said that there would be no competition for the starting quarterback. The Falcons also need to work out their communication issues and get the plays in earlier. Grade: F
Why can’t they do the citations?
Kicker Parker Romo missed two kicks and the Falcons returners had trouble fielding the knuckle ball kickoffs. That led to poor starting field position. Punter Bradley Pinion had net average or 32 yards. He placed one punt inside the 20. Grade: F
Yeah but it needs to be kind of regulated because it’s science papers and the Department of Energy.
Opening Statement: “Clearly not the results you wanted today. Obviously, hats off to Carolina. They outplayed us in every phase. They went out, they dominated the game right from the beginning. We couldn’t get things going, we couldn’t turn it around, we couldn’t survive the moment. That’s what happened in the game. Very humbling game. Ride the emotional roller coaster in this league. This week, we rode the emotional roller coaster, and we were down.”
They use in house rhetoric.
Approximately half of the Bruins lineup was composed of players who’ll be expected to suit up for opening night of the regular season. Case in point, the blue line crew, which included McAvoy, Lohrei, Nikita Zadorov, and Andrew Peeke. Sturm noted that a home game played a part in his going with a more experienced lineup.

After the second day of training camp, the Chicago Blackhawks felt the aftereffects of another fast, tough practice Friday at Fifth Third Arena. Drills included breakouts and conditioning, and skaters including captain Nick Foligno took a moment to catch their breath before heading to the locker room. It’s difficult but necessary for the Hawks to start winning again. Roster spots are up for grabs, and players are fighting for a chance to play in the NHL. Lukas Reichel played 135 games for the Hawks over the last two seasons, but his status appears to be a bit foggy. On the first day of camp, general manager Kyle Davidson was asked about the left winger’s situation.
Despite the odds in a long-held, deeply Republican district, the head of the Democratic National Committee hit the pavement Saturday to personally help flip a Republican seat in the state Senate in next week’s special election runoff. DNC Chairman Ken Martin knocked doors with candidate Debra Shigley on Saturday in Alpharetta, reminding residents in Senate District 21, which covers parts of Fulton and Cherokee counties, to vote Sept. 23.
The Federal Trade Commission and attorneys general representing seven states including Illinois filed a lawsuit Thursday against Ticketmaster and its parent company, Live Nation Entertainment, alleging that the companies unlawfully coordinated with ticket brokers. The lawsuit alleges that Ticketmaster allows brokers to buy tickets in bulk, despite rules the company adopted to limit the number of tickets one user can buy, so that both brokers and Ticketmaster can pocket extra profits when tickets are resold. For example, one broker purchased 772 tickets to a 2023 Coldplay concert for about $81,000 and then resold the same tickets for over $170,000, the complaint stated.
(1) How the cases fall apart at trial.
(2) The laboratory reports with a single author seem to be low quality. If there are too many authors you wonder about that also. Maybe some of them don’t know how to do the citations.

The day after Ruth was allegedly spotted on his ex-girlfriend’s mother’s property, the five officers executed a search warrant at his home and spoke with his family, Barker said. Police left Ruth’s residence at 1:23 p.m. and returned to the home of his ex-girlfriend’s mother to continue searching for him. At 2:08 p.m. the officers arrived at the front door of that residence and once they opened the unlocked door, Ruth began to “immediately” fire multiple rounds from an AR-15 style rifle with a suppressor, according to Barker. Ruth repeatedly fired at Baker, Becker, Emenheiser and the unnamed detective, and “all four detectives went down,” Barker said. The unidentified deputy sheriff and detective positioned themselves to return fire, and Ruth struck the deputy sheriff and his vehicle, Barker said. Ruth allegedly eventually made his way up the road toward the officers and died after a “final exchange of gunfire” that ended at 2:10 p.m. Barker said the unidentified detective found Baker, Becker and Emenheiser deceased and began rendering aid to the deputy sheriff who was critically injured. Minutes after the shooting stopped, he said additional officers arrived on scene. An arrest warrant had been issued for Ruth and the officers were searching for him on the afternoon of Sept. 17 when the suspect began firing at them, authorities said. Ruth was later killed by police at the scene. Two officers injured were in critical but stable condition as of Sept. 18. They have not been identified. The officers killed were identified as Detective Sergeant Cody Becker, Detective Mark Baker and Detective Isaiah Emenheiser.
NEW YORK — A Harvard Business School graduate was arrested Thursday on fraud charges alleging he swindled fellow alumni out of over $4 million in a Ponzi scheme, even assuring one investor they would soon “brag” about their “crazy gains” at the school’s reunion. Vladimir Artamonov, 46, was taken into custody in Elkridge, Md., where he lived, and was charged with securities, wire, and investment adviser fraud for allegedly carrying out the scheme from September 2021 through February 2024. An indictment unsealed in Manhattan federal court said Artamonov promised big returns and little risk to dupe former classmates and other alumni into investing with him, telling one investor: “It will be your best investment. The insight is air tight.” Messages for comment left with Harvard and a lawyer for Artamonov were not immediately returned. Artamonov, appearing before a magistrate judge in federal court in Maryland, was released on $300,000 bail with instructions to have no contact with victims or potential trial witnesses. The allegations against Artamonov were first revealed in late February 2024 by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who said in a statement then that her office learned about the fraud after one of several dozen investors ended his own life after learning he had lost $100,000.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal prosecutor in Virginia whose monthslong mortgage fraud investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James has not resulted in criminal charges resigned Friday under pressure from the Trump administration. Erik Siebert confirmed his departure in an email to colleagues, reviewed by The Associated Press, in which he praised them as the “finest and most exceptional” of Justice Department employees but made no mention of the political turmoil that preceded his resignation. The replacement of Siebert as U.S. attorney for the prestigious Eastern District of Virginia office comes amid a push by Trump administration officials to indict James, a perceived adversary of the president who has successfully sued him for fraud. President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Friday that he wanted Siebert “out” and multiple people familiar with the matter later told the AP that Siebert had informed his colleagues of his plan to resign from the position. The administration’s effort to oust him from the job represents a further erosion of norms meant to insulate the Justice Department from White House influence on prosecutorial decisions. The move is likely to deepen concerns that the department — already investigating other public figures Trump regards as foes — is being weaponized by a White House seeking to have its prosecutorial powers used for purposes of retribution.

At one point Detroit scored on six consecutive possessions, with five of those resulting in touchdowns. The secondary struggled and the pass rush didn’t record a sack against Jared Goff. The message for the Bears defense is pretty clear this week: There’s more work to be done. Coach Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Dennis Allen are hard at work trying to figure out how they can turn this around.
That set-up isn’t different from previous camps. But, the personnel in each room has changed when compared to last fall. Even with both groups featuring a blend of established veterans and younger prospects, Zadorov noted that last year’s camp had a majority of the team’s top players staying in their usual digs in the main dressing room, while many of the rookies and other unproven players were pushed to the smaller room, regardless of whether they were in Group A or B.
On an August evening in 2005, a 19-year-old woman was found stabbed to death inside her Georgia apartment, according to investigators. Her 1-year-old daughter was fine. For 20 years, the person responsible for killing Catrina Beatrice Evans remained on the run. That suspect has now been identified, thanks to a palm print, the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday. Turns out, he’s already in prison. Juan Renardo Chunn, 56, also known as Juan Renaldo Tillman, has been charged with murder in the death of Evans. The charge brings closure to the case, Richmond Sheriff Eugene Brantley said.

They were serving a warrant. It was a rural area south of Harrisburg.
The officers were shot while following up on a “domestic-related” investigation that began yesterday, Paris said.
Sources told WCAU they were serving a warrant, but did not provide specific details. A massive law enforcement response swarmed the scene, about 115 miles west of Philadelphia, just after 2 p.m. Authorities remained on the scene into the night, and Pennsylvania State Police took charge of the investigation. The three deceased officers were members of the Northern York Regional Police Department, Philadelphia NBC affiliate WCAU reported. Another NYRPD officer and a York County Sheriff’s deputy were in critical but stable condition on Thursday evening.
An NYPD cop was arrested on the job at his Brooklyn stationhouse Tuesday after he was found in possession of a stolen license plate, officials said. Officer David Carrasco, 26, was busted for petty larceny and possession of stolen property at the 67th Precinct stationhouse on Snyder Ave. in East Flatbush at about 3:25 a.m., cops said. Carrasco had just been transferred to that precinct from the 60th Precinct in Coney Island, cops said.
The State Ethics Commission on Wednesday sanctioned five of the seven candidates in the special election for a suburban Atlanta Senate seat, saying they failed to disclose personal financial information. The commission also fined three Georgia legislators who failed to file campaign contribution reports or financial disclosures as required by state law. Georgia law requires candidates and elected officials to disclose details of their personal finances.

The attorneys in Atlanta are too far to the left.
But Carro’s decision found the DA’s office had failed to establish Mangione intended to influence governmental policy by intimidation or coercion. He further agreed with the position of the Maryland man’s lawyers that prosecutors had conflated an ideological belief with the intent to intimidate or coerce a civilian population and wrote that he did not believe the legislature intended the employees of a company, no matter how big, to constitute a civilian population.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis can no longer oversee the prosecution of President Donald Trump in the 2020 election interference case, according to a decision issued Tuesday by the state’s highest court. The order casts doubt on the future of the last remaining criminal prosecution of Trump. A nonpartisan state agency will now try to find another prosecutor to determine how to proceed with the sweeping racketeering case against Trump and his allies. In a 4-3 order, the Georgia Supreme Court declined to hear the Fulton DA’s appeal of a lower court’s decision in December that said Willis must be disqualified from the case because of her romantic relationship with then-special prosecutor Nathan Wade. In a concurring opinion, Justice Andrew Pinson suggested the DA’s office erred in the way it appealed.
A report about Los Angeles.
The decomposing body found in a Tesla registered to singer D4vd was a 14- or 15-year-old girl, police said Tuesday. Los Angeles police said they have identified the girl but are not releasing her name until they notify her next of kin, TMZ reported. Investigators have identified the victim within the past 24 hours. The girl was identified through forensics, according to KNBC. Police are now working to locate her next of kin before releasing her identity. Police discovered the girl’s body in a Los Angeles tow yard on Sept. 8, when they were alerted to a foul odor coming from the trunk of the Tesla. The car was impounded after it was abandoned in the Hollywood Hills, cops said.

However, Johnson said he maintains faith in his defensive staff. “I know what the calls are, I know how we should align, I know how technique is being taught right now,” he said. “We brought in Dennis Allen for a reason — he does a phenomenal job coaching it to not only the coaches but the players.
The family of a 13-year-old boy found dead in a roadside ditch this year is suing the city of Los Angeles, claiming parks department officials failed to do a proper background check on the youth soccer coach accused of sexually abusing and murdering the teen. Oscar Daniel Hernandez and Gladys Bautista Vasquez, the parents of Oscar Omar Hernandez, known as Omar, filed a notice of claim against the city on Sept. 11, contending the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks exposed children to harm by granting Mario Edgardo Garcia-Aquino a permit to coach youth soccer teams.
Both cases alleged Ford sold more than five million Super Duty trucks with weak roofs between the vehicle model years 1999 and 2016. The plaintiffs alleged Ford knew the roofs in those trucks were prone to crushing occupants in rollover situations and failed to strengthen the roofs at a cost of $100 per vehicle or warn consumers.
