NFL – National Football League – Week 1
Last Night
San Francisco 49ers 32, New York Jets 19
49ers 32, Jets 19 – The 49ers spoil Aaron Rodgers’ return with a 32-19 win over the Jets
Aaron Rodgers’ long-awaited return to the field was spoiled by San Francisco as the 49ers got 147 yards rushing and a touchdown from fill-in back Jordan Mason in a 32-19 victory over the New York Jets. Rodgers threw for 167 yards and one TD and also had an interception a year after his debut with New York ended with a torn Achilles after four snaps. Rodgers had problems moving around in the pocket but still showed off the arm that helped him win four MVPs with the Green Bay Packers a few times in his first real action for the Jets. But it wasn’t enough to beat the 49ers.
NFL – Video shows officers dragged Tyreek Hill out of his car after he put his window up
Police body camera video shows an officer dragged Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill out of his sports car by his arm and head and then forced him face-first onto the ground after Hill put up the window of his car. The video released Monday shows what happened between Hill and the officers during a traffic stop before Sunday’s game. The video shows that the altercation between the Miami-Dade County officers and Hill escalated quickly. The officers cursed at Hill but he did not curse at them, resist their physical force or strike at them. The police director said the videos were released to show the department is being transparent.

Guardians 5, White Sox 3 – Cantillo gets his 1st major league win as the Guardians knock off the White Sox 5-3
Joey Cantillo pitched seven sparkling innings for his first major league win, and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Chicago White Sox 5-3. Cantillo was working on a perfect game before Andrew Benintendi grounded a single into right field with two outs in the seventh. Cantillo struck out a career-high 10 in his fifth start and sixth major league appearance overall. David Fry and Bo Naylor homered for the AL Central-leading Guardians. It was a franchise-record 13th consecutive home loss and No. 15 in 17 games overall for the lowly White Sox.
Cubs 10, Dodgers 4 – Busch and Bellinger light up their old team in Cubs’ 10-4 win over NL West-leading Dodgers
Michael Busch went 4 for 5 with a homer and scored three runs, Cody Bellinger had three RBIs including a two-run homer, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-4. The Cubs’ offense broke out for 16 hits — with every player getting at least one — coming off a series loss to the New York Yankees in which Chicago had a combined seven hits and two runs in three games. Bellinger and Busch gave the Cubs a 3-0 lead in the first inning against their old team. Shohei Ohtani stole his 47th base of the season for the Dodgers.

MLB – White Sox GM Chris Getz working on the future as end of a miserable season nears
Chicago White Sox general manager Chris Getz is taking a closer look at the organization’s international operations. He is working on hiring a manager. He is shining a light on some of the team’s top prospects. As the White Sox near the end of one of baseball’s worst seasons ever, the future is a more promising topic than the dismal present. Getz says: “This is the cards that we’ve been dealt at this point. You try to make the best of it." The White Sox are 33-112.
MLB – NL wild card race looks like a barnburner with 3 weeks remaining in regular season
The National League playoff race is getting very interesting with three weeks remaining in the regular season. The Padres, Diamondbacks, Mets and Braves are locked in a four-team scramble with only three postseason spots available. The American League race isn’t quite as close, though a hot streak from a handful of teams could tighten things quickly. The Tigers, Mariners, Red Sox and Rays are all within striking distance of the Twins, who are trying to hang on to a 3 1/2 lead for the last AL wild card.
NHL – Gaudreau brothers are mourned by the hockey community
John and Matthew Gaudreau were remembered as loving brothers and husbands who put family above hockey and everything else at their tearful funeral, a week and a half after they died when they were struck by a suspected drunken driver while riding bicycles in New Jersey. Widows Meredith and Madeline Gaudreau described their husbands as attached at the hip throughout their lives. John was 31 and Matthew 29. Meredith Gaudreau revealed she was nine weeks pregnant with the couple’s third child. Madeline Gaudreau also is pregnant, due to give birth to the couple’s first child in December.
WNBA – Angel Reese explains wrist injury that will sideline her the rest of WNBA season
Angel Reese took to social media to explain her season-ending wrist injury. The Chicago star rookie has a small crack in a bone in her right wrist and she’ll have surgery to repair it Tuesday. Reese says she’ll be in a hard cast for four weeks and then a soft cast for two. Reese, the No. 7 pick in the draft, finished the season averaging 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds. It’s the highest rebound average in the history of the WNBA. Reese also set the rookie record with 26 double-doubles — her last coming in a 92-78 win over Los Angeles on Friday night.
NCAAFB – SEC takeover could last a while with few nonconference challenges left
The Southeastern Conference has taken over the The Associated Press college football poll, grabbing six of the first seven spots. The now 16-team SEC set a new standard for hoarding high AP Top 25 rankings, with Georgia at No. 1, Texas at two, Alabama four, Mississippi five, Missouri at No. 6 and Tennessee seventh. Extend it out a little further and half of the top 16 comes from the SEC. How long will this last? Could be a while before those first six teams start running into challenges.
