Bavarian minnows Augsburg came from a goal down to a 4-1 win at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Sunday, while a dominant Mainz put five goals past Hamburg.
Augsburg’s victory brought them to the top of the Bundesliga table after two matches, the first time the club, who were promoted to the top flight in 2011, have ever ended a round in first position.

Sports TV writ large took a somewhat reluctant approach to the coverage around San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York’s August arrest on prostitution charges, but Netflix analyst Michael Irvin has no such reservations.
The 49ers owner pleaded no contest to reduced charges after allegedly responding to a prostitution ad and offering to pay $140 for sex at an Ohio trailer park in East Palestine, Ohio. For his part, Irvin isn’t even sure that the disorderly conduct York was charged with was warranted.

Arsenal record narrow victory over Brighton & Hove Albion in opening game
Arsenal got off to a winning start in this season’s Barclays Women’s Super League by seeing-off Brighton & Hove Albion 1-0 at Broadfield Stadium this afternoon.
Lisa Baum’s first half goal was enough to separate the sides on the opening day in Sussex. 
It was the hosts who created the first real chance of the game. Kiko Seike’s effort was saved by Misa Rodríguez after the Japanese forward latched onto Chiamaka Nnadozie’s long ball.
Arsenal then took the lead in the 10th minute.

At this point in the Major League Baseball season, Wrigley Field is typically hosting the Chicago Cubs as they make their stretch-run push toward the postseason.
This particular Sunday, however, baseball will take a back seat — and does so for a historic reason.
Headlined by powerhouse Nebraska, the Friendly Confines is set to host two outdoor volleyball matches on Sunday, Sept. 6 between the Cornhuskers and Missouri, and Penn State vs. Kentucky in the inaugural Big Ten/SEC Volleyball Challenge.

The U.S. kicked off its FIBA Women’s World Cup campaign with aplomb, vanquishing China, 94-71, behind strong displays from its backcourt standouts.

Week 1 action continues Sunday with a contentious rivalry matchup, a game at a historic NFL stadium and an ACC vs. SEC showdown between playoff hopefuls.
It’s a small slate, but it’s a good one. Washington State and No. 17 Washington will get things started in the latest iteration of the Apple Cup. If that doesn’t feel right on opening weekend, you can blame conference alignment for the move. (At least the rivals are still playing!)
In the evening, Wisconsin will take on No.

If this blistering match is to develop into the title race, Arsenal look much further ahead than their new three-point lead over Chelsea.
Xabi Alonso’s side had a spark and an energy that pushed the champions, but they didn’t really have a midfield, and that meant they didn’t have control, which brought Alonso’s first defeat. It is that control which marks Arsenal apart, after a 2-1 win that maintains their 100 per cent record after three games.

Sky Sports pundits Daniel Sturridge and Jamie Carragher have ruled Chelsea out of the Premier League title race after emphasising the “massive gulf” between the teams following the Blues’ 2-1 defeat to Arsenal.
Xabi Alonso’s side were tipped to challenge the champions this season after a promising start to the new campaign that saw them win 3-2 and 4-3 against Fulham and Brighton in their opening two games, and they got off to the perfect start at the Emirates as Morgan Rogers opened the scoring within 90 seconds.

Former Boston Red Sox coach and manager Joe Morgan has died at age 95, the team announced Sunday. He was 95.
Morgan spent three and a half seasons as the Red Sox’s manager, taking over the job partway through the 1988 season. That year, he led Boston to a 89-73 record and an AL East title. The stretch following Morgan’s hire was dubbed “Morgan Magic,” as the Red Sox won 12 straight coming out of the All-Star break.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Red Sox Hall of Famer and former manager Joe Morgan.

The Yankees lost in walk-off fashion to San Diego on Friday night, but they might not have played extras had it not been for a misplay that allowed the Padres to score their only run of the initial nine innings. With two outs in the second, Xander Bogaerts got under a pitch from Max Fried on what could charitably be described as a flare to center.
