An OpenAI model seems to have tampered with the log of its chain-of-thought reasoning, which was “modified to leave messages for a future version of itself,” Suleyman says, citing the company’s recent security disclosures. “We don’t know why that is or what’s behind that, but that’s a pretty serious situation.” He praises OpenAI’s disclosure of the incident but says it demonstrates the growing power and capability of leading AI models.(elias.schisgallwsj.com)

Nico Schlotterbeck and Ramy Bensebaini have resumed team training after their injuries and are available for the match against Paderborn. "They are fit, healthy, and ready to play this weekend. I can count on both of them," said Kovac.
Konstantinos Karetsas will not be involved after having to be substituted in the match against FC Villarreal due to circulatory problems. Sporting director Ole Book had said of him: "He is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. Further tests are being carried out, and we want to get to the bottom of it very thoroughly."
Also unavailable are Emre Can (torn ACL), Filippo Mane (muscle injury), Giannis Konstantelias (torn ACL), and Samuele Inacio (suspension following a red card).
Kovac also had words of praise for new signing Ethan Nwaneri, who came on as a substitute last weekend against Hoffenheim and on Tuesday against Villarreal. "He has settled in superbly. He's a great lad, very calm, down-to-earth, friendly, helpful, and a very good footballer," said Kovac. "In those two brief appearances, he showed that he can help us. I'm very satisfied with him."

Borussia Dortmund "remain keen" on the prospect of bringing Jadon Sancho back to the club, according to a report from TEAMtalk.
The 26-year-old is still searching for a new club after leaving Manchester United and is free to join any team he wants despite the transfer window being closed, as he is currently a free agent.
Although Dortmund responded to Giannis Konstantelias' long-term injury by bringing in Ethan Nwaneri on loan from ******* nal on deadline day, the German club are still considering a move to bring Sancho back, if the report is to be believed.
It's also claimed that Sancho is in talks with at least two Premier League clubs, who have made fresh approaches for the England international in recent days.
Clubs from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the UAE are reportedly also monitoring Sancho's situation.

Como fought back from a debut Milutin Osmajic goal to crush Genoa 4-1, including an **** ane Diao brace, Martin Baturina and Nico Paz, with Moise Kean providing an **** ist.
The Lariani were fresh from a 2-1 victory away to Napoli, plus deadline day signings Moise Kean and Robert Sanchez on the bench waiting for their debuts. Only Jayden Addai remained on the treatment table. Genoa were in crisis after losing to both Napoli and Lazio without scoring a goal, as Lorenzo Venturino, Joi Nuredini, Hamed Traore and Elias Havel were still out of action, but Djibril Sow and Milutin Osmajic got their first starts.
See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

Justin Bijlow fingertipped a Yan Couto curler out from under the bar, then got his glove to a Nico Paz screamer from distance, but it was Genoa who took the lead against the run of play.

Jalon Daniels entered the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offseason program as an undrafted rookie simply trying to earn a place in the organization. A few months later, he will open the regular season one play away from being Tampa Bay's starting quarterback, and that unlikely rise has certainly caught the attention of general manager Jason Licht.
Speaking with NFL Network's Sara Walsh, Licht summed up Daniels' path to becoming Baker Mayfield's backup with some significant praise. "There's no blueprint for an undrafted rookie becoming your number 2 quarterback," Licht told Walsh. "Jalon basically wrote his own." That statement carries even more weight given how rare Daniels' situation is. According to Elias Sports Bureau, the last undrafted rookie quarterback to be active for Week 1 was Trevone Boykin with the Seattle Seahawks in 2016. Daniels didn't simply survive roster cuts, either. He beat out veteran Jake Browning for the job and convinced Tampa Bay it could enter the season with only two quarterbacks on its initial 53-man roster.
Licht has made it clear that Daniels' draft status won't prevent him from winning the job. "The number-one thing is, he earned it," Licht said. "It wasn't just given to him."Daniels steadily climbed throughout the summer, but his preseason performance helped solidify his case. He completed 27 of 44 passes for 239 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions while adding 37 yards and another touchdown on the ground. More importantly, Tampa Bay saw poise and command from a quarterback who was supposed to be a developmental project. The Bucs apparently began viewing Daniels differently after their first preseason game against the Jets. Licht said conversations shifted from Daniels needing to prove he could be the backup to essentially needing to prove that he couldn't. He never gave them a reason to change course. There is still considerable risk involved. Daniels has never taken a regular-season NFL snap, and Tampa Bay is trying to contend for another NFC South ****** le. If Mayfield misses time, the Bucs would be handing their offense to an undrafted rookie. Yet Licht doesn't appear interested in keeping a veteran around simply for the comfort of experience. He said Tampa Bay would rather have a talented, prepared, inexperienced quarterback than choose experience just for the sake of it. The Bucs aren't treating him like an undrafted rookie they hope to develop eventually. They've trusted him with one of the most important backup jobs on the roster because they believe he earned it.

Borussia Dortmund have submitted their squad for the league phase of the Champions League to UEFA.
Still recovering from the torn ACL he suffered in the spring, captain Emre Can has remarkably been left out of the squad.
It was thought that the veteran could be an option later in the first half of the season, but BVB apparently don't see that as realistic.
New signings Giannis Konstantelias, who suffered a torn ACL last week, and Jefferson Lerma were also not included in the squad. BVB coach Niko Kovac recently said that patience will be needed with the latter as he continues to acclimatize following his move from Ecuadorian side Independiente.
"He still needs time, and that's completely normal," Kovac said.

Germany's new manager Jürgen Klopp's arrival was met with a massive celebration from German fans. While he has kept most of his plans under wraps thus far, fans have already made huge speculation on what to expect from the former Liverpool boss. While things are still secretive, there has now been an update that might impact the squad announcement on September 17th.
Klopp was seen visiting the Eintracht Frankfurt facilities on September 2nd, and was even captured speaking and laughing with the club's players. Conversations seemed friendly and it looks like the newly appointed manager is already building rapport with his players.
Unfortunately, the ship has failed on calling up their star talent Can Uzun, as he has already chosen the Turkish national team and played in 8 matches for the national side. However, this might indicate we might see the likes of Robin Koch, Jonathan Burkardt, or the most likely of them all, Noah Atubolu in September.
More unlikely players but also interesting cases would be younger talents such as Elias Baum, Ansgar Knauff, or Nnamdi Collins. Who do you think Klopp will call up from Frankfurt, if any? Let us know in the comments!

As you get set to potentially shuffle your FPL squad ahead of Matchweek Three of the 2026/27 Premier League season, we thought it'd be worth letting you know the prices of our newest signings.
Enzo Fernández and Iliman Ndiaye arrived on deadline day and followed in the footsteps of Elliot Anderson, Gerónimo Rulli, Ayyoub Bouaddi and Allan Elias in linking up with Enzo Maresca's first team squad.
In terms of their prices ahead of the weekend, of our newest stars Fernández is £6.9m while Ndiaye is £6.0m.
As for the other new recruits this season – Anderson is £6.4m, Rulli is £5.0m, Bouaddi is £5.5m and Allan is £6.0m.
In FPL, you start with a budget of £100 million to select a squad of 15 players: two goalkeepers, five defenders, five midfielders, and three forwards. You can only pick three players per club – meaning only three of your favourite Blues in your selection.

After finalizing their initial 53-man roster Sunday, the Rams announced Monday that they had signed 17 players to the practice squad, taking advantage of the additional spot available through the NFL's International Player Pathway program. The official group includes 16 traditional practice-squad players and international punter Jack Bouwmeester.
A significant portion of the practice squad consists of players who have already spent time with Los Angeles.
Six players — Tanner Ingle, Cam Lampkin, Elias Neal, Bill Norton, Brennan Presley and Jordan Waters — were on the Rams' practice squad during the 2025 season. All six signed Reserve/Future contracts with Los Angeles earlier this offseason after spending time on the practice squad last year.

Borussia Dortmund may have identified another possible replacement for the injured Giannis Konstantelias, with Polish talent Marcel Regula reportedly emerging as a serious late-window option. Polish outlet Meczyki.pl – as relayed by FT – reports that BVB have reached an agreement with both Zagłębie Lubin and the 19-year-old attacking midfielder over a possible transfer.
The deal is not yet complete, however.
Dortmund are reportedly continuing to **** s several alternatives before making a final decision, with **** nal youngster Ethan Nwaneri still among the options under consideration. Zagłębie and Regula are nevertheless said to be waiting for the Bundesliga club to give the green light.
Regula has already been linked with Dortmund this summer, with BVB interest first surfacing at the beginning of August. The Poland U21 international has also attracted attention from Cologne, who reportedly explored a move amid uncertainty surrounding Said El Mala's future.
A transfer fee of approximately €8m had previously been discussed for Regula, who currently maintains an estimated €7m market value in the latest Transfermarkt listings. The teenager could represent a comparatively inexpensive permanent solution for Dortmund after Konstantelias' serious knee injury forced the Dortmund administrative team to re-enter the summer transfer market after spending heavily to complete the squad.

The good feelings lasted about 53 minutes. In that far-too-brief period of time, we got to see a glimpse of what the 2026-27 Borussia Dortmund squad could do, even without Joey Veerman or Nico Schlotterbeck. But with Konstantinos Karetsas and Giannis Konstantelias, the two signings designed more than anything to reinvigorate the club as a whole, out on the pitch showing what they were made of, we were flying.
Hamburg couldn't get out of their own half, much less touch the Dortmund goal. The Greek kids looked every bit the talented studs that were promised. Karetsas played a perfect combo with Guirassy to set up the Dortmund striker for his and the club's first goal of the season. Then, just before the half, Giannis opened his own account when Maxi Beier played him into the box. He dribbled, found a bit of **** e, and took a shot that took a very fortunate deflection off Sebastiaan Bornauw and into the net. The deflection was so lucky I thought it might be ruled an own goal, but the Bundesliga's website still gives it to Giannis as of writing this.
Aaaaaaaaand that was it for the good feelings. BVB came out into the second half and it took eight minutes for the season to end. Giannis challenged for a ball, tweaked his knee without contact, and had to be subbed off. Niko Kovac subbed on Marcel Sabitzer, but Giannis's absence was noticed immediately. Hamburg controlled the play much better in the second half, and to add to the sour mood, Samuele Inacio received a straight red card towards the end of the match with a late slide-tackle that connected with Albert Grønbæk's shin. Inacio walked off in tears.
So Dortmund held out for the 2-0 win and clean-sheet, but the mood was irrevocably destroyed. We can never have nice things, and when we do they only get briefly teased before they get ripped away. The night is dark and full of terrors.
I'll just say it because we're all already thinking it: I'm very nervous that Giannis tore his ACL. Depending on the severity he could potentially miss the entire season, but even a partial tear would put him out of action for multiple (read: at bare minimum three months). Bottom line, unless it's a miracle and it's only a Grade 1 or something less severe like a meniscus tear (which would still require many weeks' recovery), we're not seeing him back on the pitch any time soon. If I'm Ole Book, I'm trying to find a last second cheap winger on the transfer market.

Borussia Dortmund's seven year high points tally wasn't enough to win the Bundesliga last season but they have reinforced this season with a Greek duo of Konstantinos Karetsas and Giannis Konstantelias.
Dortmund also started this season off on a strong foot despite losing 2-1 against Bayern in the super cup as they were a Maximilian Beier golden chance away from making it to extra time.
They have a somewhat busy schedule for this early on in the season as their delayed DFB Pokal game is to be played midweek next week against Hamburg-Eimsbütteler from the fifth tier in which they may rest players.
Despite this, Dortmund have an amazing record against Hamburg as they haven't lost in 11 years against the side from north Germany.
Serhou Guirassy will look to continue where he left off last season as he scored his 17th goal in the Bundesliga on the final matchday to become Dortmund's top scorer in consecutive seasons.

PHOENIX (AP) — The Chicago Cubs set a franchise record on Tuesday by scoring their 30th unanswered run over three games, breaking the previous record of 29 over a three-game stretch in 1969.
The Cubs started the streak on Sunday, falling behind 2-0 in the early innings against the Seattle Mariners before rallying for a 19-2 win.
Chicago then blanked the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-0 on Monday and jumped to a 4-0 lead in Tuesday's game against the D-backs.
The previous record of 29 happened in 1876 and more recently from May 11-13 in 1969, according to Elias Sports Bureau. During that stretch, the Cubs shut out the San Francisco Giants 8-0 before beating the San Diego Padres 2-0 and 19-0 in consecutive games.

The White Sox got steamrolled, 11-2, by a team that entered the game worse than .500. The pitching was terrible, the bats were ice-cold, and the Rangers took advantage of the long ball on several occasions.
José Urquidy did not have a great start, tossing 39 pitches in his first frame. He walked the leadoff batter and the third batter, then hit Brandon Nimmo with a pitch to load the bases with only one out. Ezequiel Duran grounded into a force out at second, but sent Joc Pederson home. Evan Carter doubled, putting the second run on the board. With two outs, Jake Burger picked up a walk, but a pop-up from Elias Díaz would finally stop the damage. Miguel Vargas singled with two outs, and Andrew Benintendi nearly tied the game and would have with just a bit more wind, but Nimmo jumped up to rob the good guys of any runs.
With two outs in the top of the second, Corey Seager singled and was safe at second after Colson Montgomery scooped up a single from Wyatt Langford. Drew Romo blew through the first challenge as Nimmo picked up a walk to load the bases, with Urquidy already passing the 50-pitch mark. Chase Meidroth slipped, unable to grab what should've been an easy out, and another run came in on an infield single from Duran. Pederson, after not getting his challenge call in on time on a strikeout, continued to throw a tantrum, leading to his ejection. Romo ended additional on-field drama by tagging home for the inning-ending force-out. Braden Montgomery singled for the Good Guys, and with two outs, Tristan Peters took a slider and made the Rangers pay, cutting the deficit to 3-2. That home run put him in double-digits and his 10th homer this season:

With one out in the top of the third, Elias Díaz was hit by a pitch, and Cody Freeman singled. Seager caused more damage with a two-run double, giving the Rangers a 5-2 lead with two outs. The frame ended with a pop fly, but also on 93 pitches for Urquidy. The the bottom half Munetaka Murakami singled and Miguel Vargas walked to put two on base early. Benintendi grounded into a fielder's choice, and Braden Montgomery picked up a walk to load the bases. Of course, the next two batters struck out to strand all three runners.

Chivas goal scoring finally appeared in the Apertura 2026 when they defeated Tijuana by a 5-2 score. Chivas finally scored more than one goal in a Liga MX game during the season after they were able to convert their chances days after the news came that their top goal scorer, Armando Gonzalez, was transferred to Olympiakos in Greece. Tijuana came into the match tied in first place but they had a poor defensive display that Chivas took advantage of. Chivas will now travel south to face off against Pachuca while Tijuana returns home where they will host Pumas.
The 1st half started with a two hour and thirteen minutes rain delay. While the stadium crew did a huge effort to get the field in playable conditions, the field was drenched in a lot of areas. A good combination play ended with Efrain Alvarez getting the ball in the area but his left footed shot went wide. A left footed shot from outside the area by Santiago Sandoval was easily saved by Tijuana's goalkeeper, Jose Rodriguez. A back pass was badly fumbled by Rodriguez and left there for Ricardo Marin, who incredibly kicked the ball straight to Rodriguez in a terrible miss. Off a corner kick, the cross into the area was headed back by Luis Romo into the path of Santiago Sandoval, who headed the ball from close range past Rodriguez to score and give Chivas the early 1-0 lead. It was a deserved goal as Chivas had been the better team. Tijuana would try to answer back with a counter in which Ramiro Arciga got off a header that would be cleared off the line by Romo. Off another corner kick, the cross into the area was headed back by Diego Campillo into the path of Ricardo Marin, who headed the ball from close range past Rodriguez to score and increased the lead to 2-0. It was the same play that Tijuana failed to defend and from set pieces, Chivas had a two goal lead. A cross into the area was headed by Diego Abreu but his teammate, Ignacio Rivera would get in between the path of his shot and deflected it wide. After a thru pass would allow Hugo Camberos to get into the area, he would be brought down by Arciga and the referee would give a Penalty Kick to Chivas. Ricardo Marin took the PK and calmly placed his left footed shot past Rodriguez to score and increased Chivas' lead to 3-0. The halftime whistle blew and Chivas had a solid lead after having their best half played so far in the Apertura 2026.
The 2nd half started with Tijuana subbing out Pablo Ortiz, Diego Abreu and Ignacio Rivero for Alan Vega, Elias Manoel and Yael Padilla. Seconds after the start of the half, Chivas lost the ball and allowed Ivan Tona to get to the area but his left footed shot was blocked by Chivas' goalkeeper, Raul Rangel. Rafael Fernandez got off a right footed shot from outside the area that went wide. Chivas subbed out Efrain Alvarez and Miguel Gomez for Brian Gutierrez and Luis Rey. Tijuana subbed out an injured Ramiro Arciga for Francisco Gonzalez. A great combination play by Chivas ended with Gutierrez finding a

Manchester United are interested in signing the Shakhtar Donetsk striker Kaua Elias.
According to reports from Spain, Manchester United have been scouting the 20-year-old Brazilian striker, and their scouts have submitted positive reports. Elias' representatives are already aware of the Premier League club's interest, and the player would cost around £30 million.
They have been watching him closely, and it remains to be seen whether they submit an offer to sign him. The striker has a contract with the Ukrainian club until December 2029. Manchester United will have to pay the asking price if they want to get the deal done.
The striker scored 11 goals for the Ukrainian club last season and he is on the radar of Premier League rivals ******* nal as well. The Gunners have been monitoring his progress, and it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to compete with Manchester United for his signature.
The Red Devils certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal across the line. Even though the £30 million valuation seems high right now, the player has the potential to justify the investment in the long term.

A three-goal-scorer night for the Chrome & Azul sealed the 3-0 Snapdragon Stadium victory against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night, remaining in striking distance of an MLS Cup Playoff position.

Michael Wright, known for his onscreen roles in "The Five Heartbeats" and "V," has died, according to a family statement shared on social media. He was 70.
The New York-born actor's wife, Susan Wright, confirmed his death in an Instagram post Friday, Aug. 21, writing, "It is with profound sadness and an unimaginable heaviness in my heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Michael Wright."
The family told TMZ in a statement that "The Principal" star died on Aug. 19 after suffering from "heart failure" as well as "complications of a rare degenerative neurological disease called Marchiafava-Bignami."
Throughout his career, Wright appeared in more than 50 film and television projects, most notably his movie roles as Clinton in 1979's "The Wanderers," main villain Victor Duncan in the action-crime flick "The Principal" and Carlyle in 1983's "Streamers," alongside David Alan Grier. Many TV fans will also recall his performance as Elias Taylor in the 1984 sci-fi miniseries "V" or as the poet-inmate Omar White in HBO's "Oz."
His most recognizable role is arguably in the 1991 musical film "The Five Heartbeats," where he plays the charismatic yet troubled vocalist Eddie King Jr., who grapples with alcohol and drug addiction that impact his career and place in the fictional Motown group.

In the Bundesliga's latest "Midweek Interview", Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel had a chance to talk about the upcoming season and the changes to the BVB squad. The departure of Julian Brandt, Karim Adeyemi, and Niklas Süle left plenty of ******* e and wages for Ole Book and Lars Ricken to work with.
The signing of Genk's Konstantinos Karetsas, PAOK's Giannis Konstantelias, and PSV's Joey Veerman in the build up to the season kick-off has certainly given Dortmund fans something to be excited about. Kobel knows that a step-up is required, but shares his enthusiasm:
"Today was only my first real team training. But with Karetsas, our new Greek talent, you don't need a lot of time to see that he has a lot of quality on the ball, that he's a great player and that he has a lot of potential. We have a lot of young guys with a lot of potential, and I'm really excited about what they can bring to the team and about their everyday work. They're going to improve and feel how the game is played here. Maybe it's a little faster, maybe it's a little more physical, depending on which league you're coming from. We'll see."
There are big expectations, especially on the shoulders of BVB's Greek signings. The 28-year-old notes that they can't rely on their new signings to fly from day one. He continues:
"If you play for Dortmund, you know how it is: you need to get your qualities onto the pitch every three days. But on the other hand, with a lot of young guys, it's not fair to expect them to carry the team every three days. It's going to be a team effort. The guys who have been here longer need to bring them together, prepare them for the season and help them build their confidence. The other guys, of course, need to show their talent as well."

Waldemar Anton (training management), Maxi Beier (knee injury), and Carney Chukwuemeka (muscle issues) were unable to play in the season opener against AS Roma. Beier has already returned this week. "Waldi is also ready to train fully with the team and play in Saturday's game," said Kovac. Carney Chukwuemeka took part in team training for the first time on Thursday. "Maybe he'll be an option for the weekend." Emre Can (torn cruciate ligament) and Nico Schlotterbeck (ankle) remain sidelined.
Particular attention is being paid to new signings Giannis Konstantelias and Joey Veerman, who joined BVB at the start of the week. "Giannis isn't arriving until tonight and will train with the team for the first time tomorrow," said Kovac. "Joey has only had two or three training sessions with the team. Giannis hasn't had any yet. Still, I know they're physically fit and have playing time under their belts. I see no reason not to include them in the roster."
Veerman is a "similar type of player to Felix Nmecha – very confident on the ball. Someone who demands and seeks out every ball. That's what we need in the transition from defense to attack," Kovac said about his midfield. "Sabi and Jobe are the two players who are similar in style. We have a good mix."
Although Konstantinos Karetsas is also new to BVB, he already has two friendly matches under his belt with his new teammates. "In the games against ******* nal and Roma, we already saw what Kosta can do with the ball – how he sets up his teammates but also how he can make himself a key player. That's what we were looking for," explains the BVB coach. "But at 18, he still has a lot to learn. The leap from the Belgian league is a big one. That's why we'll bring him along carefully."
It remains to be seen who Kovac will actually field in the battle for the season's first ******* le. At the very least, the coach is spoiled for choice.Christina Reinke

It remains to be seen who Kovac will actually field in the battle for the season's first ******* le. At the very least, the coach is spoiled for choice.Christina Reinke
