Brewers sweep Dodgers

The giant has been conquered.

The Milwaukee Brewers swept the Los Angeles Dodgers by defeating the reigning World Series champions 6-4 in Thursday's Game 4 to advance to the Fall Classic for the first time since 1982.

"They may have a bunch of Hall of Famers, but we have a bunch of gamers. And the gamers won this week," Brewers manager Pat Murphy said postgame.

Milwaukee will square off against the winner of the ALCS between the Cleveland Guardians and Tampa Bay Rays.

The Brewers overcame an early four-run deficit Thursday, with Garrett Mitchell's go-ahead home run in the sixth inning proving to be the difference.

Phillies hire Mattingly as full time manager

The Philadelphia Phillies named Don Mattingly as their full-time manager, the team announced Wednesday.

Additionally, the club signed him to a two-year contract through the 2028 campaign.

Mattingly began the 2026 season as Philadelphia's bench coach but took over as interim manager when Rob Thomson was fired following a 9-19 start. The Phillies went 79-55 under Mattingly before losing to the Atlanta Braves in the wild-card round.

The Phillies reached out to Alex Cora about the managerial role after their postseason ended, but he reportedly plans to take the 2027 season off. Philadelphia also approached Cora in April when Thomson was let go. Cora previously managed under Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski with the Boston Red Sox.

Tyreek Hill - two counts of battery

A Miami jury on Tuesday found Tyreek Hill liable for two counts of battery but not liable for the eight remaining claims made by Lakeeta Vaccaro — ending the high-profile civil trial involving the NFL wide receiver and his estranged wife.

Hill, who has played for the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins, was found liable for two counts of battery — one stemming from an incident in January 2024, and another from April 2025. The jury awarded Vaccaro $500,000 in compensatory damages but did not award her punitive damages.

The jury found Hill, 32, not liable for eight other counts that included battery, assault and continuing domestic violence.

Bills take down Rams in thrilling OT

Josh Allen accounted for 331 total yards and two touchdowns, Tyler Bass made a 45-yard field goal with 1:55 left in overtime shortly after Greg Rousseau blocked the Rams’ field goal attempt, and the Buffalo Bills outlasted Los Angeles for a 37-34 victory Monday night.

Allen passed for 210 yards and rushed for 121 more for the Bills (4-1), who rallied to win a frantic game befitting the teams with the NFL’s last two MVPs at quarterback.

The Bills appeared to be in trouble after James Cook fumbled early in OT, but Allen got another chance — and he finally won an overtime game for the first time in his career while besting Matthew Stafford, who passed for 383 yards and three touchdowns.

Brewers take Game 1 over Dodgers

The Milwaukee Brewers held the Los Angeles Dodgers to one run on seven hits to win Game 1 of the National League Championship Series 2-1 on Sunday at American Family Field.

The Brewers' bullpen allowed no runs and two hits after taking over for starter Jacob Misiorowski, who exited in the fifth inning after giving up five hits and three walks.

Igor Shesterkin out with leg injury

New York Rangers netminder Igor Shesterkin was helped off the ice during the second period of Friday's clash against the Washington Capitals after an apparent leg injury.

Shesterkin went down amid a net-front scramble after seemingly jamming his right leg against the post while sliding back into his crease. Teammates helped him to the bench.

Brewers eliminate Padres

Although outfielder Garrett Mitchell gracefully accepted congratulations for robbing Manny Machado of a tying home run late in the Milwaukee Brewers' Division Series-clinching victory, he clearly wasn't all that impressed with himself.

To Mitchell, that dramatic play was just the predictable result of the same daily preparation and meticulous execution that made Milwaukee the majors’ best team throughout the regular season — and which has now sent the Brewers roaring back to the National League Championship Series.

Mitchell tripled and scored the tiebreaking run in the fifth inning before making a pivotal catch on Machado's drive to the wall in the eighth, and the Brewers finished off the San Diego Padres with a 3-1 victory Wednesday night, winning their best-of-five series in four games.

Rays sweep the Yankees

The Tampa Bay Rays love New York.

Tampa Bay defeated the Yankees 4-3 in Game 3 of the ALDS on Wednesday, eliminating their division rival from the postseason.

Rays closer Bryan Baker struck out Trent Grisham with the tying run on second base to end the game. Baker earned his third save of the series after following starter Nick Martinez and four relievers.

Rookie Victor Mesa Jr.'s two-run home run in the sixth inning proved to be the difference, clobbering a no-doubter to chase Yankees starter Max Fried from the contest. Fried allowed four earned runs on seven hits across 5 2/3 innings.

Brewers 9th Inning walk off win

The Milwaukee Brewers secured a two-game series lead in the NLDS after star outfielder Jackson Chourio walked off the San Diego Padres on Sunday.

Chourio delivered a clutch two-out single off Padres All-Star closer Mason Miller to win the game.

Milwaukee entered the ninth trailing 3-2, with Miller pitching his second inning after throwing a 1-2-3 eighth frame.

Christian Yelich walked and stole second base after Garrett Mitchell grounded out to begin the inning. Miller then walked Sal Frelick before getting Andrew Vaughn to fly out to center field. Gary Sánchez walked to load the bases after coming on as a pinch hitter. Afterward, Chourio singled to score the game-winning runs.

Chiefs move to 4-0 to start the season

The Kansas City Chiefs emerged victorious in a battle of undefeated teams by beating the Las Vegas Raiders 30-27 on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.

The 4-0 Chiefs ended the Raiders' unexpected 3-0 start to the season while also spoiling Las Vegas head coach Klint Kubiak's halftime guarantee that his team would leave with a win.

Skubal dominated Game 1

Tarik Skubal tossed six dominant innings in triple-digit heat, Teoscar Hernández, Kyle Tucker and Max Muncy homered, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves 5-3 in Game 1 of their NL Division Series on Saturday.

The game-time temperature of 100 degrees (38 Celsius) fell just short of equaling the Dodger Stadium record of 103 degrees at Game 1 of the 2017 World Series. The feels-like temperature was 105 degrees, with umpires chugging water between innings and fans shielding their heads with giveaway towels on a cloudless day.

Rasmussen throws a beauty to beat Yankees

Drew Rasmussen's bid for history fell agonizingly short, but the Tampa Bay Rays are just fine with Saturday's result.

Rasmussen lost his no-hitter after 7 2/3 innings, but Austin Wells' baserunning blunder ensured the Yankees stayed scoreless as the Rays beat New York 1-0 in Game 1 of their ALDS.

Wells broke up the no-no by ripping a double down the right-field line with two outs in the eighth inning. However, he was thrown out at third to end the frame after trying to stretch the hit into a triple.

Ty France moonshot hits the roof

The San Diego Padres were on the wrong end of some bad luck during Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 1 of the National League Division Series.

With a runner on and one out in the ninth, Padres first baseman Ty France hit a moonshot that looked to be destined for the seats when it hit the roof at American Family Field and ended up in the glove of outfielder Jackson Chourio.

Jack Hughes not joking around

New Jersey Devils star Jack Hughes wasn't thrilled with a joke made by ESPN analyst AJ Mleczko during their interview in the first intermission of Thursday's season opener against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Mleczko made reference to a 2025 team dinner at which Hughes reportedly slipped and cut his hand. He needed surgery and missed 18 games with the injury last season.

"Well, it's great to see you healthy. Let's wrap you in bubble wrap and use plastic cutlery this year. Does that sound good?" Mleczko asked.

Bryce Harper says he’s accountable for loss

Bryce Harper doesn't play the shoulda, woulda, coulda game.

The bottom line for the Philadelphia Phillies is they came up short in the postseason again.

“You’re here to do business. You’re here to win games, and we didn’t do that,” Harper said in a subdued Phillies clubhouse Thursday night following their 6-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves in the deciding Game 3 of their National League Wild Card Series.

Braves eliminate Phillies

For the first time in five years, the Atlanta Braves are off to the NLDS.

Atlanta beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-2 in Game 3 of the NL wild-card series at Truist Park to claim the series and secure a date with the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the next round.

Chris Sale, Atlanta's Game 1 starter, secured the final four outs in relief to clinch the victory. Sale struck out three of the five batters he faced.

Montreal downs Toronto in season opener

Josh Anderson and Alexandre Carrier each had a goal and assist as the Montreal Canadiens beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 Tuesday night in the teams' season opener.

Zachary Bolduc also scored for Montreal, which got 25 saves from Jakub Dobes.

William Nylander scored twice for Toronto. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 21 shots in his first game with the Maple Leafs.

Cam Schlittler dominates Red Sox

The Red Sox should do whatever it takes to avoid Cam Schlittler next postseason, and beyond.

The Massachusetts native - and currently the biggest villain in the Boston-New York rivalry - showed in Game 1 why he's one of the most dominant starting pitchers in the majors, and the heavy favorite to win the AL Cy Young award.

Schlittler tossed 6 1/3 shutout innings Tuesday, allowing just two hits and a walk to go with 10 strikeouts. He got a ridiculous 24 whiffs while surrendering just two hard-hit balls (both groundouts). His 117 pitches were the most by a Yankees starter in a playoff game since 2012. In two postseason starts against the Red Sox, Schlittler's thrown 14 1/3 shutout innings while striking out 22.

Leafs land Marchenko for Knies

The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired forward Kirill Marchenko from the Columbus Blue Jackets and subsequently signed him to a six-year extension with a $12.5-million cap hit, Marchenko's agent, Dan Milstein, announced Monday.

Toronto sent forwards Matthew Knies and Steven Lorentz, defenseman Emil Andrae, and a second-round pick to Columbus for Marchenko, forward Miles Wood, and goaltender Elvis Merzlikins, the teams announced.

Marchenko was set to become a restricted free agent next summer and had recently been noncommittal about signing a new deal in Columbus after reports surfaced over the summer that he wanted out.

Cleveland claims AL Central title

The Cleveland Guardians claimed their third straight AL Central division title thanks to their 11-5 win over the Kansas City Royals and the Chicago White Sox losing 9-6 to the Colorado Rockies.

Cleveland will be the AL's No. 2 seed and receive a bye to the ALDS. The White Sox, meanwhile, are now locked into the No. 6 seed and will be the road team against the AL West champion - either the Houston Astros or Texas Rangers - in the best-of-three wild-card series.

Golden State sign Curry to 2 Years

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry agreed to a two-year, $116-million contract extension with a player option in 2028-29.

The deal keeps Curry from entering the upcoming season as a pending free agent and ends speculation that the Warriors might entertain trade offers for him.

Curry took $20 million less than the maximum on his extension to give the Warriors more cap space next summer.

His new contract makes him the first player to earn $600 million over the course of their career

Blue Jays eliminated from playoffs

The Toronto Blue Jays won't return to the postseason after falling just short of winning the World Series last year.

Toronto was officially eliminated from playoff contention Wednesday with a 4-2 loss in the first game of a doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles.

Starter Max Scherzer allowed four earned runs and struck out seven over five innings. Pete Alonso hit a two-run home run off Scherzer in the fifth for the slugger's third round-tripper of the series.

Former Blue Jays pitcher Chris Bassitt shut down his old team, allowing two earned runs over five frames. Bassitt also earned a win against Toronto on Sept. 11.

The Blue Jays outhit the Orioles 10-5 in Wednesday's opener but were 1-for-14 with runners in scoring position.

Judge set to return Wild Card Game 1

Aaron Judge may be ready for the New York Yankees' wild-card series, after all.

One day after manager Aaron Boone said that the team is planning as if its star slugger won't be ready for the start of the postseason due to a calf injury, Judge himself said he intends to be available for Game 1.

Raptors sign Kawhi Leonard 2 Years

The Toronto Raptors signed Kawhi Leonard to a two-year, $115-million contract extension after recently finalizing his trade from the Los Angeles Clippers.

The agreement includes a player option for the 2028-29 campaign.

Leonard was entering the final season of a three-year, $149.5-million contract. He was eligible for up to $126 million on the new deal but reportedly took $11 million less to give the Raptors financial flexibility, per Charania. Leonard also waived his $7.5-million trade kicker in Toronto's swap with L.A.

Jeremiah Smith breaks Ohio State record

Jeremiah Smith stands alone in Ohio State's storied history of wide receivers.

Smith is now the all-time leader in receiving yards in program history following a 23-yard reception Saturday in the first quarter against Kent State, pushing him past Michael Jenkins' career total of 2,898.

Will Derrick Henry break all time record?

Emmitt Smith believes Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry is capable of breaking his record as the NFL's all-time rushing yards leader.

"It's possible," Smith said, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley. "Derrick Henry is a bigger back. He takes great care of his body. He's in great shape."

Smith has held the rushing record for 24 years after amassing 18,355 rushing yards throughout his Hall of Fame career with the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals. He retired at 35, two years after breaking the record.

Hellebuyck suspended for not reporting to camp

The Winnipeg Jets suspended star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck for failing to report to training camp Wednesday.

Hellebuyck requested a trade this offseason and went public with the demand in August. He told the team he wouldn't be coming to camp.

Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff will address the media Thursday.

Hellebuyck is under contract through 2030-31 at an $8.5-million cap hit. He has a full no-movement clause.

The 33-year-old posted an .895 save percentage and a 2.86 goals against average in 57 games for Winnipeg last season. Hellebuyck starred at the Olympics in February, backstopping the U.S. to a gold medal with a 41-save effort against Canada in the final.

Ducks sign Cutter Gauthier 6 Years

The Anaheim Ducks re-signed restricted free-agent forward Cutter Gauthier to a six-year contract, the team announced Tuesday. The deal carries a $13.5-million cap hit, reports Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Gauthier's new contract makes him Anaheim's second-highest-paid player, trailing only Leo Carlsson's $18-million AAV. He's tied for the fifth-highest cap hit in the NHL next season with Vegas Golden Knights star Jack Eichel. Gauthier will be an unrestricted free agent upon the contract's expiration in 2032.

Carlos Correa out for the season

Houston Astros infielder Carlos Correa won't be back this season, manager Joe Espada said Tuesday, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.

Correa was attempting to return from ankle surgery for a torn tendon sustained in May after progressing quicker than expected.

"It's just the buildup, and every day we did a little bit more around the bases, the swinging on the field, the just being on the spikes for such a long time - it just kind of flared up on him," Espada said, per Kristie Rieken of the Associated Press. "And I think the smart thing to do right now is for Carlos to focus on next season."

The skipper added that the three-time All-Star didn't suffer a setback or any further injury to his left ankle.

Correa was nearing rehab games after recently taking reps at second base at the team's spring facility. The longtime shortstop started the season manning third base.

The 31-year-old finishes 2026 with three home runs, 16 RBIs, and a .787 OPS over 32 games.

Blackhawks name Bedard captain

The Chicago Blackhawks announced forward Connor Bedard as the 37th captain in franchise history Tuesday.

Patrick Kane and Tyler Bertuzzi will serve as Chicago's alternate captains.

Bedard succeeds Nick Foligno, who was traded to the Minnesota Wild last season.

At 21 years and 60 days old, Bedard is the second-youngest captain in Blackhawks history behind Jonathan Toews (20 years, 79 days).

Senators sign Drake Batherson to 8 Years

The Ottawa Senators signed forward Drake Batherson to an eight-year extension with an average annual value of $10.75 million, the team announced Tuesday.

The deal will contain $30 million in bonuses and a no-movement clause in the first four years, reports Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

It's the largest contract in franchise history. Batherson was set to become an unrestricted free agent after the season.

Dodgers clinch playoffs

The defending two-time World Series champions qualified for a 14th consecutive year, tying the Atlanta Braves (1991-2005) for the longest streak in MLB history.

"It's hard to say it ever feels routine, but it is the expectation here," third baseman Max Muncy said postgame, according to Joe Reedy of the Associated Press. "I always laugh whenever we clinch a postseason spot, we just do a nice little toast. The guys that haven't been here, they kind of see that and they expect a little bit more. That happens when you clinch the division."

Los Angeles' magic number is down to three in its quest to win a 13th NL West title in 14 years.

Tarik Skubal allowed three hits with one walk and nine strikeouts over seven shutout innings to pick up the win.

Yankees clinch playoffs

Aaron Judge hit a three-run home run that capped a six-run eighth inning, and the New York Yankees beat the Minnesota Twins 8-3 Monday on a night they clinched their 61st postseason berth and ninth in 10 seasons.

Judge had been 3 for 20 with 11 strikeouts since returning last week after missing 84 games because of a fractured rib. Judge hit a cutter from A.J. Minter 415 feet into the second deck in left field for his 18th home run this season, his first since May 24.

His drive came a few minutes before Detroit beat Toronto, clinching a playoff berth for the Yankees.

Myles Garrett out with knee surgery

Los Angeles Rams edge rusher Myles Garrett will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery and end up on injured reserve.

Garrett has to miss a minimum of four games, and the Rams hope he can return at that point, Pelissero added.

The reigning Defensive Player of the Year has been dealing with the knee injury since training camp, but the issue received more attention after he was a nonfactor in the Rams' season-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Garrett recorded zero sacks or tackles in Thursday's contest.

Montreal signs Kreider

Kreider had one year remaining on his deal with a $6.5-million cap hit when the Ducks cut him. Anaheim needed financial flexibility after signing Leo Carlsson to an $18 million annual contract, which was initiated by a lucrative offer sheet from the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Canadiens didn't make any notable additions this offseason after reaching the Eastern Conference Final in the spring. Kreider should bring valuable experience to a young Canadiens team and bolster a left side that previously lacked depth behind first-liner Cole Caufield.

Gavin McKenna excited to play with Matthews

Toronto Maple Leafs first overall pick Gavin McKenna believes he would be a good fit on the wing of captain Auston Matthews.

"To play with a player like that, of that caliber, would be pretty special," McKenna told reporters Friday. "I think we would suit each other pretty well. Him being an older veteran guy, I think I can learn a lot from him. Being the captain of the Leafs, just a lot to learn from him. He's an amazing player, and if I get that opportunity, I'm not gonna try and waste it."

McKenna noted he's played "a little bit" with Matthews this summer at informal sessions.

"He's unreal. He's fun to watch," McKenna said. "To play with him, he's super smart, and obviously he's got that release, so you kinda want to give him the puck when he's open and hope you get an assist."

McKenna is Toronto's first No. 1 pick since selecting Matthews atop the 2016 draft.

Bears sign Swift to 3 Year contract

The Chicago Bears are signing running back D'Andre Swift to a three-year, $33.75-million contract extension.

Swift's new deal includes $27.5 million in guaranteed money, Schefter adds. He was entering the final season of a three-year, $24-million contract that he signed in 2024 and was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in 2027.

The 27-year-old set career highs in rushing yards (1,087), rushing touchdowns (9), and rushing success rate (54.7%) last season. His 62 first downs gained on the ground ranked eighth among all running backs, according to TruMedia.

Swift and Kyle Monangai made up one of the best rushing duos in the league last season, helping Chicago rank third in explosive run rate and sixth in EPA/rush.

Swift spent the first three years of his career with the Detroit Lions after being selected in the second round of the 2020 draft out of Georgia. He also played one season with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023 prior to joining Chicago.

Golden Knights extend Mark Stone - 2 years

Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone agreed to a two-year extension with the franchise, the team announced Saturday.

The new deal carries a $9 million annual cap hit and ties the 34-year-old to Vegas through 2028-29.

The Canadian winger tallied a career-high 73 points in 60 games last season, ranking third on the Golden Knights in points behind Jack Eichel (90) and Mitch Marner (80). Stone's 28 goals also equaled his personal best in a single season with one team, matching the total he produced with the Ottawa Senators during the 2018-19 campaign before being traded to Vegas.

Stone potted seven goals with 12 assists during the Golden Knights' run to the Stanley Cup Finals against the Carolina Hurricanes earlier this year. The 34-year-old captain scored twice in the series against Carolina but finished with a minus-two as the Hurricanes claimed their second Stanley Cup in franchise history.

Packers sign Kraft 4 Years $92M

The Green Bay Packers and tight end Tucker Kraft agreed on a four-year, $75-million extension Saturday that could reach $92 million.

The new agreement reportedly includes a $26.5-million signing bonus, Schefter adds.

Kraft appeared in eight games last season before sustaining an ACL tear in Week 9. He posted 489 yards in 32 receptions prior to the injury, including six touchdowns. He's returned to practice during training camp and is expected to play in Green Bay's Week 1 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Angels plan to build $2.5B stadium

Incoming Los Angeles Angels owner Stan Kroenke plans to construct a $2.5-billion ballpark to replace Angel Stadium.

Kroenke agreed to buy the Angels from longtime owner Arte Moreno on Tuesday for a reported MLB-record price of $4 billion. The deal is expected to be finalized in the early stages of 2027.

The American billionaire's company built and owns SoFi Stadium - the home of the NFL's Los Angeles Rams - and the complex around it, which will be the site of the 2028 Summer Olympics.

Ronald Acuna breaks MLB record

Ronald Acuña Jr. hit a three-run homer to become the fastest player in major league history to reach 200 home runs and 200 stolen bases, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Washington Nationals 9-0 on Wednesday.

Sean Murphy homered for the third time in five games, a three-run shot in the sixth inning that broke a scoreless tie in a game that was interrupted by a 1-hour, 25-minute rain delay in the fourth.

Acuña followed with a drive to left-center in the seventh, his 14th of the season, to make it 6-0. He needed 904 games to reach the 200/200 club. Alfonso Soriano set the previous record at 929 games in August of 2006 while playing for the Nationals against the Braves.

Josh Jacobs misdemeanour charges

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is facing misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property stemming from what police described as a physical confrontation with his girlfriend.

Jacobs was arrested May 26 after police were called to his home to investigate a disturbance and was released from jail the next day. The charges were announced Thursday by Brown County District Attorney David Lasee.

Matt Gogel suspended 6 months for betting

Matt Gogel has been suspended for six months for betting on golf. The PGA Tour said Wednesday none of the wagers were for tournaments he was playing.

Gogel, whose best finish on the PGA Tour Champions this year was a runner-up in the Senior British Open, will be eligible to return on Feb. 22, 2027.

Seahawks sign Williams to 3 Year $90M

The Seattle Seahawks and defensive tackle Leonard Williams have agreed to a three-year, $90-million extension.

The extension also includes $56 million in guaranteed money. He was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2026 campaign.

Seattle acquired Williams in a 2023 trade with the New York Giants for second- and fifth-round picks. The Giants later used that second-round selection on safety Tyler Nubin.

Jed York arrested for engaging prostitution

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York used an alias when he sent text messages over two days to a woman he believed to be a prostitute before he was arrested in a sting operation in Ohio, according to a police incident report obtained Tuesday.

The report from the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force had more than two pages redacted but provided more details about what led to York's arrest and ultimately to him pleading no contest Monday to two misdemeanors.

York initially responded to an advertisement placed by police on a known prostitution website on Saturday, according to the report, sending two messages that went unanswered and saying his name was “Joe” and that he wanted to visit the woman.

Cal Raleigh blasts 3 home run night

Cal Raleigh busted out of a season-long slump with the first three-homer game of his career Monday night.

The switch-hitting catcher capped a five-run first inning with a two-run shot off struggling Philadelphia Phillies ace Zack Wheeler. Raleigh and Cole Young opened the fifth with back-to-back homers, chasing Wheeler, and Raleigh connected for another solo shot off reliever Chase Shugart in the seventh to give him 17 home runs this season.

49ers Owner Jed York arrested

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York was arrested over the weekend in Ohio and pleaded no contest to misdemeanour charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools.

York was arrested Sunday in East Palestine, Ohio, and was released after posting a $5,000 bond. He was sentenced to one day in jail for both offenses to be served concurrently and was credited with one day served when he pleaded no contest Monday morning. He also was fined $1,150.

Court records show that York initially was charged with engaging in prostitution, but prosecutors amended that to disorderly conduct. Records also show that York had a cellphone returned to him and that $160 that was seized was to be given to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force as part of the plea agreement. York also completed on online course.

The 49ers and the NFL didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

The 46-year-old York took over day-to-day control of the 49ers from his parents in 2008. He became the team’s principal owner in 2024. After some initial struggles under York’s leadership, the team has been a consistent contender since hiring coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch in 2017.

Mahomes is confident he’ll start the season

Patrick needs a serious bounce back season. An injury free season and a season with teammates that have the desire to win. If it were up to Patrick Mahomes, he would have suited up for Saturday's preseason game. Though he didn't, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback says he should be ready for the team's regular-season opener Sept. 14.

This is a good sign….. Mahomes told the broadcast during Saturday's exhibition game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that he's "extremely confident" he'll play Week 1. But you need to wonder how much truth is there to this statement.

Mahomes, who suffered a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee last December, said he wanted to play Saturday, but the decision wasn't up to him. He is hoping to feature in the Chiefs' preseason finale against the Seattle Seahawks on Aug. 28. Maybe things will progress and continue to improve give the Chiefs their starting quarterback to begin the season.

Buckle up, will Patrick start? We will see.

Puka Nacua leaves with injury

Yikes, Puka Nacua leaves early with injury. This could definitely hurt the Rams if he doesn’t return quickly. The question becomes, how severe is the injury and how long will it take to recover. That’s what the Rams will be uncovering as soon as possible.

Defensive end Myles Garrett was held out of the Los Angeles Rams' joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday, while wide receiver Puka Nacua left the workout early because of an apparent injury.

Sean McVay said Garrett did not participate as a precaution because of swelling in his knee, which has the two-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year who was acquired in a blockbuster trade in June feeling 85% healthy, according to his new head coach. Garrett missed time earlier in training camp because of what McVay described as lower body soreness.

Jorge Messi passes away

Sad story that shocked the soccer community earlier today. Jorge Messi, the father of soccer star and Argentina captain Lionel Messi, died Saturday at a hospital in the central Argentina city of Rosario.

The Rosario-based Club Atlético Newell’s Old Boys announced his death in a social media post that said he had undergone treatment in recent months for an unspecified illness. The post described him as “the pillar and the person who, with vision, rigor and affection, supported the career of the best player of all time, alongside his wife, Celia Cuccittini.”
