FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Hauss Hejny accounted for five touchdowns to lead Colorado State to a 58-24 victory over Southern Utah on Saturday night.
Hejny finished 18 of 30 for 325 yards and threw four touchdown passes. He added 85 yards on the ground on five carries that included a 75-yard touchdown run with 12:31 left in the game to cap the scoring.
Colorado State, which is 2-0 for the first time since 2011, led 48-21 at halftime and finished with 678 yards of offense. It was their highest scoring output since posting 52 points against Boise State on Nov. 11, 2017.

Terrence Smith Jr. caught two touchdown passes and finished with four receptions for 90 yards. Cedric Ross had a pair of catches for 87 yards and a score.

It was great to hear Dave Burns and John Gambadoro Friday afternoon on ArizonaSports 98.7 FM when they mentioned my story about the Arizona Cardinals potentially shocking the world this season.
Their discussion morphed into what they believed the Cardinals would have to do to "shock the world." Different thoughts were expressed, including not being one of the five worst teams in the league. In another, it was said the offense would shock the world if they ranked in the top 10.
To that end, I've always taken exception to the rankings as gospel mantra that usually takes place in a vacuum. By that I mean, ranking whatever number it is in yards or points, for example, is meaningless unless it takes into account the actual statistics for other teams in the rankings.
Last season, the Denver Broncos were 10th in total yards at 342.7 per game and 14th in points per game (23.6 average). The Baltimore Ravens were 16th (smack dab in the middle of the 32-team league) in yards at 332.2 per game and 11th in points (24.9 per game). The Kansas City Chiefs were 20th in yards (320.7 average) and 21st in points (21.3).
It's easy to see that the difference in yards per game between the Broncos and Ravens (seven ranking spots) was only 10.5 per game and 22.0 per game between the Broncos and Chiefs (11 spots).

COLONIE - The Christian Brothers Academy football team waited a long time to get back on the field against Saratoga Springs. Friday night, the Brothers held a seven-point lead in the fourth quarter when CBA coach Bobby Burns decided it was best to play keep away.
The Blue Streaks had just scored a touchdown on a fourth-down play and CBA was determined to run off the final 7:42 off the clock. That meant going for it on a fourth-and-5 play from the CBA 36-yard line. The Brothers managed to pick up the first down as senior quarterback Matt Kowalski connected with junior receiver Jack Hulett for five yards. CBA proceeded to run off the remaining time to register a 21-14 Class AA victory.
"I had my coaches yelling in my ear the whole night that we could run that," Burns said regarding the fourth-down gamble. "I was a little concerned about (Saratoga Springs junior defensive end Cam Toomey) on the edge with him getting a hand on it and swatting it down. If we don't get that, it changes a lot of the game."
"It definitely means a lot that the coaches have trust in us," Hulett said. "We work hard and they trust we will get the job done."
CBA entered the Section 2 Class AA playoffs in 2025 as the No. 1 seed with the program seeking a fifth consecutive sectional championship. Saratoga Springs emerged with a 14-13 victory in a driving rainstorm at Colonie High School. In the rematch, the Brothers (2-0 overall, 1-0 Class AA) prevailed in a game where the two teams combined for 26 penalties.

After a gutsy 100-pitch primetime effort at Wrigley Field on Sunday, Aug. 30, Chase Burns will be put on an innings limit over the final month of the regular season, Reds manager Terry Francona said.
Burns, the Reds' first 15-game winner since Luis Castillo in 2019, will pitch next on Monday, Sept. 7, when the team continues its end-of-the-season gauntlet against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Brandon Williamson, who has not pitched since April 29, will return from shoulder fatigue and start the Reds' series finale against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday, Sept. 2, Francona said. Williamson is 2-3 with a 6.11 ERA over six starts this season.

As Reds star pitcher Chase Burns approached the 100-pitch mark during the sixth inning of his win against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, Reds ****** yst Jeff Brantley said during NBC's Sunday Night Baseball broadcast that Burns was making his final "real start" of the 2026 season.
"You have to take into consideration this is his last real start of 2026," Brantley said. "Because after this, it is going to be kid gloves and short, maybe three-inning stints, and that's it. And even in this spot ... (Francona) has really not let him get into a situation where he is having to go to the extra part of the tank right around that 100-pitch mark. Because you're looking at an injury situation, and you just don't want that to happen."
"Everybody in that Reds' dugout knew this was the last real start for Chase Burns," Brantley added as Burns left the game. "In front of a packed house on Sunday Night Baseball, just gettin' it."

Pete Crow-Armstrong did it again.
A day after hitting three home runs in a 17-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds, the Chicago Cubs slugger posted another multi-home run effort Sunday. Only this time, it didn't lead to a win.
Crow-Armstrong's second home run of the day managed to cut Chicago's deficit to two runs in what ended in a 7-5 Reds win. But another remarkable day at the plate gave him five home runs in two days and further bolstered Crow-Armstrong's case in what's turning into a runaway MVP case past Shohei Ohtani in the National League.
Crow-Armstrong immediately picked up where he left off from Saturday's three-home run outburst. He turned on a 99 mph full-count fastball from Chase Burns to lead off the bottom of the first inning with a home run that he deposited into the right-field bleachers at Wrigley Field.
The blast gave the Cubs an early 1-0 lead. It marked his fourth home run in a span of seven at-bats.

CHICAGO — Rookie Sal Stewart homered for the third straight game to help offset two more home runs by Pete Crow-Armstrong, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 7-5 on Sunday night after rain delayed the start 25 minutes.
Dane Myers hit a go-ahead homer off Shoto Imanaga (8-10) leading off the fifth inning and Tyler Stephenson followed with a two-run shot after a single by Elly De La Cruz for a 6-3 lead. De La Cruz left after that with left quad tightness.
Stewart homered for the 31st time — off Trent Thornton — for the Reds' final run in the seventh.
Crow-Armstrong homered leading off the first against Chase Burns (15-3) to give the Cubs the lead. It his fourth in seven at-bats after hitting three Saturday in a 17-5 victory over the Reds. The NL's MVP front-runner hit his 38th homer — a solo shot off Reds closer Emilio Pagán in the ninth before the right-hander finished off his 19th save.
Burns allowed three runs — two earned — on six hits in 5 2/3 innings as Cincinnati beat the Cubs in the rubber game of the series after losing six of seven matchups previously.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Marcus Stokes threw for 223 yards and two touchdowns as Memphis rattled off the final 13 points to beat UNLV 27-21 on Saturday night in a season opener for both teams.
The win helped Charles Huff become the first Tigers head coach to win a road debut game.
Stokes completed 15 of 26 passes with no turnovers, while Jaylin Carter rushed for 97 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries.
UNLV took a 14-7 halftime lead behind Jackson Arnold, who threw a 38-yard touchdown pass to Tavian McNair and added a 6-yard touchdown run. The Rebels had won their previous 11 games when leading at the break, with their last loss coming against Syracuse on Oct. 4, 2024.
Stokes tied the game early in the third quarter with a 48-yard touchdown pass to Stonka Burnside, but Arnold answered with a 22-yard touchdown pass to Kayden McGee. Carter then scored on a 36-yard run to make it 21-all.

CHICAGO – The Cincinnati Reds finished a long, meat-grinder road trip with an unlikely series win over the contending Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field Sunday, Aug. 30.
As tough as their gauntlet of a final stretch of games might have looked before their 7-5 victory in the series finale Sunday (Aug. 30), it might have just gotten uglier, pending the next medical exam on All-Star shortstop Elly De La Cruz.
De La Cruz, one of only two members of the Reds lineup who has performed consistently all season, left Sunday's game in the seventh inning because of "left quad tightness." His status as the team headed home with 25 games left on the schedule was not immediately clear.
For now, the Reds pocketed their third win in four games to finish a 4-5 road trip through Arizona, San Francisco and Chicago.
The better individual news for the Reds coming out of Sunday was the status of rising ace Chase Burns, who pitched two outs deep into the sixth against one of the best lineups in baseball to earn the victory, bouncing back six days after his worst start of the season, in San Francisco.

WASHINGTON, Aug 24 (Reuters) - The U.S. Treasury will continue with its regularly scheduled debt auctions, including for long-dated bonds, despite its move to increase buyback sizes of 10- to 30-year securities, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Monday.
Asked at a news ‌conference focused on Iran sanctions about Treasury's plans for bond buybacks and auction sizes going forward, Bessent said the department would "continue with our regular ‌program of auctions" announced in early August.
He added that the Treasury hasn't purchased any bonds yet in the enlarged buybacks, which will start on September 10 for 10- and 20-year securities.
Bessent, a former hedge fund manager with extensive experience in sovereign debt and currency markets, last week surprised global bond investors by announcing the Treasury would double the size of its quarterly repurchases of longer-dated bonds after their yields reached the highest levels in nearly two decades.

The Cincinnati Reds failed to score so much as a single run in Monday's series opener against the San Francisco Giants in the heavy air of northern California, losing 5-0 on a night where Chase Burns simply didn't have it for one of the very few times we've seen such a thing in his big league career.
On Tuesday, they'll send struggling starter Brady Singer to the mound to try to rectify things. I'd be far more optimistic about that concept if they weren't also sending out a lineup that features Hector Rodriguez, Ke'Bryan Hayes, and TJ Friedl in it (hitting back to back to back), but here we are regardless.
It's once again a late-night start, so you'll have to pry your eyes open with toothpicks to stay up and indulge in all of the scintillating action between these two going-nowhere rosters.
First pitch is slated to be chucked by Houser at 9:45 PM ET.
Here's how both clubs will line up to start:

#back #francisco #burns

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Rafael Devers hit a three-run homer in the second inning and the San Francisco Giants snapped a four-game losing streak by beating the Cincinnati Reds 5-0 on Monday night.
Jason Foley (1-1) worked 1 1/3 innings for the win after relieving lefty Carson Whisenhunt, who left in the third inning with pain in his pitching elbow. He was coming off an outing in which he surrendered a career-worst seven runs and nine hits over four innings of an 8-1 loss at Cleveland last Tuesday. He will have an MRI on Tuesday.
San Francisco leadoff hitter Drew Gilbert doubled in each of his first two at-bats on a cool night and well before the mist began hovering over the outfield in the middle innings.
The Giants began the game with four straight hits off right-hander Chase Burns (14-3), including Jung Hoo Lee's RBI single followed by a run-scoring double from Turner Hill in the first. Two of Burns' three losses this year have come in his last three outings.
There appeared to be no lingering ill will in the first meeting between the clubs since a three-game series at Cincinnati in mid-April that featured a benches-clearing brawl.

SAN FRANCISCO – Not that there's ever a good time for a big-league pitcher to have his worst career start.
But when Chase Burns headed off the mound in the fourth inning after a loud-contact, 5-0 loss to the woeful San Francisco Giants, his best shot at surviving the National League Cy Young race might have exited with him.
The Cincinnati Reds' All-Star right-hander in his first full season in the majors gave up two runs before he got an out and five before he got a sixth out against a lefty-packed Giants lineup that squared up so many of his pitches that even the outs were loud – not to mention the foul ball Turner Hill belted into the bay.
The last time the Giants' lineup looked that good, Buster Posey was in it as an All-Star catcher – not running it into the ground as a second-year head of baseball operations.

Phillies ace receives surprising boost in crowded NL Cy Young race originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Jacob Misiorowski has the breathtaking ERA. Chris Sale has the overwhelming strikeout numbers. Zack Wheeler has the established reputation. ESPN's awards model still considers Cristopher Sánchez the pitcher to beat for the National League Cy Young Award.
Sánchez earned a 154.1 rating in the latest edition of ESPN's AXE rankings, placing him ahead of Milwaukee Brewers phenom Misiorowski at 150.5. Philadelphia Phillies teammate Jesús Luzardo ranked third at 140.7, followed by Cincinnati Reds starter Chase Burns and Sale. That makes Sánchez the statistical front-runner in one of baseball's most crowded award races, even though the betting markets have focused more heavily on Misiorowski and Sale.
"The consensus narrative seems to have turned against Sánchez, who has been at or near the top of the AXE leaderboard all season," ESPN's Bradford Doolittle wrote in the latest MLB Awards Watch.
Sánchez may not have the loudest Cy Young campaign. His season has been too good to ignore.

Portugal have found a rather unexpected way to avenge their FIFA World Cup heartbreak against Spain.

Just over a month after Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. were knocked out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup by their neighbours, Portugal got one back — not on a football pitch, but on a cricket field.

Portugal defeated Spain by 57 runs in the final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Sub Regional Qualifier C in 2026, ending Spain's campaign and keeping their own dream of reaching the 2028 T20 World Cup alive.

The football defeat had come in July, when Spain edged Portugal 1-0 in the Round of 16 at the Dallas Stadium in Arlington, USA. Mikel Merino scored the decisive goal in stoppage time of regulation time, sending Ronaldo's Portugal out of the tournament.

This time, though, it was Portugal celebrating at Spain's expense.
Led by former Australia international Moises Henriques, Portugal produced a composed performance to claim the crucial qualifying victory.

Spain captain Christian Munoz-Mills won the toss and chose to field, but Portugal built a competitive total of 160/6.

Dhavalkumar Norotam made 23 and Christopher De Freitas scored 39 as Portugal made a steady start without quite managing to dominate the Spanish attack. Henriques, meanwhile, contributed 18 but could not convert his start into a substantial innings.

Portugal accelerated late in the innings through Craig Cachopa, who struck 25 off 21 ****** , while Carlos Nunes added 15 off nine. Jeremy Martins provided an important final push with an unbeaten 18 off just eight deliveries.

Yasir Ali and Lorne Burns were Spain's best bowlers, taking two wickets apiece.

Spain's chase initially threatened to become interesting, but Portugal's bowlers quickly put the brakes on the pursuit.

Sebastian de Oliveira made the breakthrough early, while Martins also chipped in as Portugal reduced Spain to 32/3. Yasir Ali and Daniel Doyle Calle then began rebuilding the innings and gave Spain hope of mounting a serious chase.
Siraj Ullah Khadem changed the complexion of the contest in the 11th over when he bowled Yasir for 29.

With the pitch making life difficult for incoming batters, Portugal steadily tightened their grip. Khadem finished with impressive figures of 2/19, while Edward Fleming delivered the decisive blow with a three-wicket haul for just 13 runs.

Spain's promising chase soon turned into a procession, and Martins completed the job by bowling Lorne Burns as Portugal wrapped up a 57-run victory.

The triumph sends Portugal into the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier in 2027, putting them one step closer to a place in the global qualifying tournament for the 2028 T20 World Cup.

Portugal join Jersey and Denmark in the Europe Qualifier, while Scotland enter directly because of the exceptional circumstances surrounding their participation in the 2026 T20 World Cup. Italy and the Netherlands, meanwhile, advance directly to the Global Qualifier.

For Portugal,

The New York Giants have a load of talent at pass rusher as they head into the 2026 NFL season. They've used three top-five draft picks at the position over the past five years, bringing in Kayvon Thibodeaux, Abdul Carter, and Arvell Reese, and traded away a second-round pick several years ago to land Brian Burns.
Burns is the veteran Pro Bowl leader of the group, and Reese is the rookie. Thibodeaux has been the oft-injured guy who has become a bit of an afterthought, but don't sleep on him.
Carter? Well, he could be the best of the bunch. The former Penn State star who was compared to Micah Parsons coming out of college in 2025 is poised for greatness. Just ask him. That's his goal.
"I want to be the greatest of all time," Carter told The Athletic.
Not just the greatest Giant or the greatest linebacker. The greatest, period. Muhammad Ali great.

The National League Cy Young race has turned into one of the most competitive individual award battles in MLB. Several elite starters have put together seasons that would make them serious contenders in almost any other year, but only one pitcher will ultimately take home the hardware.
MLB.com's latest expert poll has five pitchers standing above the rest: Jacob Misiorowski, Cristopher Sánchez, Chris Sale, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Chase Burns.

Jacob Misiorowski has emerged as the clear favorite after a dominant season with Milwaukee. The hard-throwing right-hander has overwhelmed hitters with elite velocity and has separated himself from the rest of the field in the latest MLB.com voting. Misiorowski previously led the league in ERA, strikeouts and WHIP during the season, and his combination of run prevention and swing-and-miss ability has made him extremely difficult to hit.

Scottie Scheffler is the winner of the 2026 FedEx St. Jude Championship. He carded a score of -17 to notch the victory at the first event of the FedExCup playoffs on Sunday, Aug. 16 at TPC Southwind in Memphis.
Fans sprinted over to the green on the last hole to watch the world No. 1's final shot. He barely missed the rim and then tapped the ball in for par. Scheffler's wife and two children were standing in the shade cheering him on and after he finished the hole, they ran around the crowd to give him a hug.
This is only Scheffler's second win this season after topping the leaderboard at the American Express back in January.
"It's always challenging, I think, playing with one of my best friends, both trying to win," Scheffler, who played with Sam Burns on Sunday, said on the CBS broadcast after the St. Jude win. "He's had his fair share of close calls this year as well. Going into today, I just wanted to try and do my best, just try and execute."

A sea of humanity surrounded the tee box on No. 1, as Scottie Scheffler prepared to start his third round on Saturday. It roared on contact, widening the eyes of at least one veteran FedEx St. Jude Championship volunteer hole marshal.
The day began with Scheffler leading the field by three strokes thanks to his virtuosic, course record-tying, second-round 61 at TPC Southwind. By the time Scheffler headed back to the clubhouse Saturday, he was still perched atop the leaderboard, leading Sam Burns and Sungjae Im each by two strokes.
Is this the year? Will the string of pulse-pounding, adrenaline-fueled finishes that have become reliably commonplace at Memphis' annual golf tournament finally snap? Can Scheffler leave the few still within striking distance comfortably in the dust?
On behalf of everyone planning to brave the brutally hot conditions: Nooooooo!!
Thrilling, edge-of-your-golf-stool Sundays have made the FedEx St. Jude Championship (and the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational before it) even more special than the elevated status already made them.

The first leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs has reached its final round. We can only hope the action at the St. Jude Championship is at hot as the weather in Memphis.
With temperatures forecast to be back over 100, the golfers hoping to hang onto or snare a spot in the top 50 of the standings will have plenty to fight against. Sungjae Im can't afford to fall off after his impressive start; tied for second at 11 under through three rounds, the Korean has risen from 53rd to 35th. He and Sam Burns, who shot a blistering 8 under in Round 3, enter play today two strokes behind leader Scottie Scheffler.
The other name to watch on the bubble is Brian Harman, who comes in tied for sixth with Hideki Matsuyama, Si Woo Kim and Alex Noren six shots back. Harman has soared from No. 65 at the start of the tournament to No. 51, and if he can keep climbing, he could unseat Maverick McNealy for the final berth at next week's BMW Championship.
