Trump threatened Portland with troops to quell protests. The mayor says it's not needed
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump has threatened sending the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, to quell protests. There have been nightly protests at the city's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building since June. While disruptive to nearby residents, the demonstrations are a far cry from the unrest that gripped the city during the racial justice protests of 2020. Recent protests peaked in June, with Portland police declaring one a riot and other smaller clashes since then. Trump deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles over the summer, and as part of his law enforcement takeover in Washington, D.C. He has also recently threatened to send troops to Chicago and Baltimore to combat crime.

Bob Menendez's wife says she was ex-senator's 'puppet' as she gets 4½ years in prison for bribery
SUMMARY: Former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez’s wife has been sentenced to 4½ years in prison for selling the powerful New Jersey politician’s influence in exchange for bribes. U.S. District Judge Sidney H. Stein sentenced 58-year-old Nadine Menendez on Thursday after she told the court that her husband isn't the man she thought he was. She was convicted in April of colluding from 2018 to 2023 with her husband, the former Democratic chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in a variety of corrupt schemes, some involving assisting the Egyptian government. Her husband is serving an 11-year sentence after his conviction last year for taking bribes, extortion, and acting as an agent of the Egyptian government.

Humpty Dumpty caper at New Jersey mini-golf course sparks police investigation
SUMMARY: Humpty Dumpty took a big fall, and now police are hoping to crack the case. A colorful statue of the nursery rhyme icon was forcibly removed from a structure at a miniature golf course in Cape May, New Jersey, on Sunday and dumped down the street. Police say they’re looking for two men who are seen on video stopping at Ocean Putt Golf at around 4 a.m. Video shows one of them grabbing and rocking the statue back and forth and pulling it off its foundation before walking off with it. Police are asking for the public's help in identifying the two men.

Things to know about the bribery prosecution of ex-Sen. Bob Menendez and his wife, Nadine Menendez
SUMMARY: The sentencing of Nadine Menendez has brought to a close a prosecution that focused on the years after she met then-Sen. Bob Menendez in 2018. Bob Menendez began serving his 11-year prison sentence three months ago. His wife will begin her 4½-year sentence next year to allow time for recovery from treatment for breast cancer. Their separate trials focused in part on $480,000 in cash and $150,000 in gold bars found in their home in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, during a 2022 FBI raid. The bribery proceeds earned the Democratic former senator the moniker “Gold Bar Bob.”

Americans mark the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks with emotional ceremonies
SUMMARY: Americans have marked 24 years since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks with solemn ceremonies, volunteer work and other tributes honoring the victims. At the World Trade Center site in New York City, the nearly 3,000 victims’ names were read aloud Thursday. At the Pentagon in Virginia, a memorial service honored the 184 service members and civilians killed. And near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, a similar ceremony honored the victims of Flight 93. The remembrances are often promoted as a day of national unity, but this year's anniversary comes during a time of increased political tensions just a day after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed.

The rise of AI tools forces schools to reconsider what counts as cheating
SUMMARY: High school and college educators say that student use of artificial intelligence has become so widespread that they need to rethink how to assign and assess students. Many teachers have shifted all writing to the classroom. Some are returning to pen and paper exams to avoid cheating. As the new school year gets underway, educators say it's clear that AI is transforming how students learn and study and how teachers teach. But it is also creating new confusion over what constitutes cheating. Students say they often turn to AI with good intentions for things like brainstorming or editing help but sometimes it's hard to know where to draw the line.

After putting up 40 points and losing, the Ravens host Cleveland and its tough defensive front
SUMMARY: Baltimore’s offensive line against Cleveland’s defensive front may be the key matchup when the teams meet this weekend. The Ravens had little trouble moving the ball in their loss at Buffalo last weekend, but it’s possible the Browns could provide a stronger test after holding Cincinnati to 141 total yards in their loss to the Bengals. Five of Baltimore’s first six opponents made the playoffs last season. Cleveland is the only team that didn’t.

NFL says no discipline for Lamar Jackson after he shoved a fan back during a loss at Buffalo
SUMMARY: The NFL is not planning any discipline for Lamar Jackson after Baltimore’s star quarterback exchanged shoves with a fan last weekend in a loss at Buffalo. An NFL spokesman says the matter has been addressed by the club and there is no further action from the league. Several Ravens were celebrating behind the corner of the end zone after a touchdown. A fan reached out and gave receiver DeAndre Hopkins a little shove to the helmet, then did the same to Jackson, who pushed him back with two hands to the chest.

Packers' offensive line missing Zach Tom and Aaron Banks vs. Commanders
SUMMARY: Green Bay was without two starters on its offensive line for Thursday night’s game against Washington. Packers right tackle Zach Tom and left guard Aaron Banks were both inactive after being listed as questionable earlier in the week. Tom has a quadriceps injury. Banks’ issues are with his groin and ankle. Both played in the Packers’ 27-13 season-opening victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday, but neither was able to finish the game. Cornerback Nate Hobbs was active for the Packers after missing the opener. Hobbs had surgery last month for a torn meniscus in his right knee.

SUMMARY: Washington Commanders defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. was carted off the field with a right quadriceps injury midway through the second quarter against the Green Bay Packers. Wise had gotten though the line of scrimmage and was attempting to block an extra-point attempt. Green Bay’s blockers fell backward and landed on the back of Wise’s leg.

Injuries to Ekeler and Wise make this loss particularly painful for Commanders
SUMMARY: The Washington Commanders may have lost more than a game Thursday night. Running back Austin Ekeler hurt his right Achilles tendon on a non-contact play and defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. was carted off the field with a quadriceps injury during the Commanders’ 27-18 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night. Now the Commanders wait to learn how much time these two veterans will miss. Commanders coach Dan Quinn had no immediate update on their conditions after the game.

Jordan Love and Tucker Kraft lead the way in Packers' 27-18 victory over Commanders
SUMMARY: Jordan Love threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns and the Green Bay Packers beat the Washington Commanders 27-18. Tight end Tucker Kraft caught six passes for a career-high 124 yards to help the Packers improve to 2-0 for the first time since 2020. Love and Kraft connected on an 8-yard touchdown play with 8:57 left to thwart the Commanders’ comeback attempt. Love’s other touchdown pass was a 5-yarder to Romeo Doubs in the first quarter. Washington gained just 11 yards in the first quarter and lost running back Austin Ekeler to an Achilles tendon injury late in the game.

No preseason was no problem for Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Aaron Rodgers
SUMMARY: Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson didn’t need to play a snap in the preseason. They were spectacular in their first game action of the season. Jackson led the Baltimore Ravens to a 15-point, fourth-quarter lead only to watch Allen rally the Buffalo Bills to a 41-40 victory. NFL coaches have to make difficult decisions each preseason, choosing whether to rest starters or put quarterbacks in harm’s way in meaningless games. Green Bay’s Jordan Love injured his hand in an exhibition game but was ready to play in Week 1. Sitting out doesn’t mean guys will be ineffective. Playing in preseason games doesn’t guarantee success early in the season, either.

The Commanders believe Austin Ekeler tore his Achilles tendon but are awaiting tests: AP Source
SUMMARY: A person with knowledge of the player’s status tells The Associated Press that the Washington Commanders believe starting running back Austin Ekeler tore his right Achilles tendon in their loss to the Green Bay Packers but are awaiting tests to confirm the severity of the injury. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because nothing had been announced by the club. Ekeler is a 30-year-old in his ninth NFL season and second with Washington. He fell to the ground on a play in the fourth quarter of Green Bay’s 27-18 victory on Thursday night. It was a non-contact injury.

Keisean Nixon's emergence at cornerback helps Packers defense produce impressive start
SUMMARY: Green Bay’s Keisean Nixon always believed he could be an effective lead cornerback for an NFL team and looked forward to the chance to prove it. He’s making the most of that opportunity. The two-time All-Pro kick returner was known mainly for his special-teams prowess for most of his career. He continued his emergence as a force on defense Thursday by collecting a career-high five passes defensed in a 27-18 victory over the Washington Commanders. Nixon says "now I can really play my game and do what I want to do.” The performance earned him a game ball.

Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders have not looked nearly as good so far this season
SUMMARY: It’s only been two games so far, but Jayden Daniels and the rest of the Washington Commanders have looked quite a bit like the oldest team in the NFL and very little like the club that went 12-5 and made it to the NFC title game last season. The offense is nowhere near as explosive or as efficient as it was as Daniels earned AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. And the defense was not up to the task in a 27-18 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night that dropped Washington’s record to 1-1.

Jaedyn Shaw traded from the Courage to Gotham FC for an NWSL-record $1.25 million
SUMMARY: Midfielder Jaedyn Shaw has been traded from the North Carolina Courage to Gotham FC for a National Women’s Soccer League-record $1.25 million in intraleague transfer funds. The previous record was the $600,000 that the Utah Royals received from the Kansas City Current for Ally Sentnor. Gotham said Thursday that the team is working toward an “updated and extended contract” with Shaw. She was traded from the San Diego Wave to the Courage in January but never really found a rhythm in North Carolina.

Garrett Wilson says Justin Fields isn't done showing what he can do after his impressive Jets debut
SUMMARY: Garrett Wilson and Justin Fields hope to replicate the success they had in college as teammates now with the New York Jets and they're off to a promising start.

Giants claim Xavier Gipson after costly fumble in Jets' loss, place Micah McFadden on IR
SUMMARY: The New York Giants have claimed wide receiver and return specialist Xavier Gipson off waivers from the Jets. This move comes after Gipson was cut following a costly fumble in the Jets' season opener against Pittsburgh. Jets coach Aaron Glenn stated the decision wasn't solely based on that play. Gipson has had 10 fumbles in 35 games. Meanwhile, the Giants have placed linebacker Micah McFadden on injured reserve because of a foot injury. McFadden, who had a breakout season last year, will be sidelined for at least four weeks.

SUMMARY: Aaron Judge hit two home runs to tie Hall of Fame outfielder Joe DiMaggio for fourth place in Yankees history as New York beat the Detroit Tigers 9-3 to avert a three-game sweep.

Bills rule out Ed Oliver against the Jets because of an ankle injury he suffered at practice
SUMMARY: Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott has ruled out defensive tackle Ed Oliver from playing at the New York Jets this weekend. The announcement Friday leaves the team thin at the position and without a starter who made a game-changing impact in a season-opening win over the Baltimore Ravens. McDermott said Oliver hurt his ankle after being stepped on in practice on Wednesday. The coach didn’t reveal the nature of the injury or timetable for Oliver’s return. The Bills face a short turnaround next week in hosting the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night following their game at New York on Sunday.

Jets' Sauce Gardner limited by groin injury, but Aaron Glenn thinks he'll be OK to play vs. Bills
SUMMARY: New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner has a groin injury that will limit him at practice Friday. Coach Aaron Glenn still expects Gardner to play Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Gardner was injured during practice Thursday and was listed as a limited participant. If Gardner can't play or is compromised, it could affect the defense against Josh Allen and the Bills' high-scoring offense. Gardner, the NFL's highest-paid cornerback, is coming off a strong performance against Pittsburgh. The Jets are also dealing with other injuries, including hamstring issues for Kene Nwangwu and Josh Reynolds and an ankle injury for Mason Taylor.

SUMMARY: The NCAA is investigating potential sports betting violations involving 13 former men's basketball players from six schools. The schools themselves are not under investigation. The NCAA's integrity program flagged unusual betting activities, including athletes betting on their own games and sharing information for betting purposes. The NCAA Committee on Infractions has resolved similar cases, permanently revoking the eligibility of three players from Fresno State and San Jose State for manipulating game outcomes. The NCAA will not name the athletes involved until the investigation concludes. NCAA President Charlie Baker emphasized the need for stricter regulations to address integrity risks.

Phillies' Walker Buehler, sick and tired of robot umps, is ready for his second chance in the majors
SUMMARY: Walker Buehler, a two-time All-Star, is set to pitch for the Philadelphia Phillies as they chase their first World Series title since 2008. Buehler, who helped the Dodgers win titles in 2020 and 2024, was released by the Boston Red Sox in August. He struggled with a 5.45 ERA this season. The Phillies signed him after losing ace Zack Wheeler to injury. Buehler will pitch Friday against Kansas City. He expressed frustration with the Automated Ball-Strike System used in the minors. Buehler hopes to regain form and contribute to the Phillies' postseason push.
