Viktor Hovland receiving MRI on neck, status in question for Ryder Cup Sunday Singles

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — Viktor Hovland’s status is in doubt for Sunday’s singles matches at the 2025 Ryder Cup due to a neck injury.

European captain Luke Donald confirmed that Hovland underwent an MRI on his neck Saturday night after experiencing discomfort toward the end of his morning round at Bethpage Black and again while warming up for the afternoon session.

Hovland was a late scratch from the lineup, with Tyrrell Hatton stepping in as his replacement.

“He got some physio. He was given a lot of anti-inflammatories during the round,” Donald said. “He finished. He was feeling OK. He went in to rest, and then he went back out to the range to try and hit some balls. When he got to the driver, he hit one and it was very painful. He hit another one and it got even more painful. It was at that point that he thought, ‘I’m not going to be able to play to the level that I think I can.’

“So it was a last-minute decision to switch him out. Tyrrell literally warmed up for about ten minutes. We knew it was a possibility, but we were hoping that he would play.”

Donald added that Hovland is doing everything he can to compete, though his neck stiffened up later, prompting the MRI.

Hovland is currently 1-1 this week and was scheduled to play Harris English in the final singles match at 2:03 p.m. Sunday. He won his Saturday morning match against Robert MacIntyre.

Earlier in the afternoon, Hovland commented on his injury, saying, “I had to pull out of the Travelers Championship earlier this year because of the same issue. I played two holes and then had to pull out, so I didn’t want to do that here. I’ve been struggling with it a little bit since then — not as bad, but similar over the last few months.”

If Hovland is unable to compete, U.S. captain Keegan Bradley will be required to reveal the name of the player in his envelope. This predetermined player would then sit out the singles match to ensure both teams have the same number of competitors.

No. 1 Ohio State opens Big Ten play with road win at Washington

The No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes traveled out west on Saturday and secured their first road win of the 2025 season, defeating the Washington Huskies 24-6 at Husky Stadium in Seattle.

In a nationally televised game on Channel 7, quarterback Julian Sayin completed 22 of 28 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns. The Buckeyes also rushed for 149 yards. Ohio State’s defense proved tough on third down, holding the Huskies to just one conversion on 11 third-down attempts.

With the victory, Ohio State improves to 4-0 overall and 1-0 in the Big Ten.

After a scoreless first quarter, Washington took an early 3-0 lead with a 28-yard field goal by Grady Gross to begin the second quarter. The Huskies’ lead was short-lived, as Ohio State responded before halftime. Sayin connected with Jeremiah Smith on an 18-yard touchdown pass, capping a 10-play, 73-yard scoring drive and giving the Buckeyes a 7-3 halftime lead.

The Buckeyes took the second-half kickoff and engineered a 75-yard drive over 14 plays. CJ Donaldson, Jr. finished the drive with a one-yard touchdown run, extending the lead to 14-3. The teams then exchanged field goals, with OSU holding a 17-6 advantage.

After stopping the Huskies on a fourth-down attempt, Ohio State took over at their own 44-yard line with 8:44 remaining. Sayin threw a four-yard touchdown pass to Donaldson, increasing the lead to 24-6. This score capped an eight-play, 44-yard drive.

Bo Jackson led the Buckeyes on the ground with 80 yards rushing, while Jeremiah Smith caught eight passes for 81 yards and a touchdown.

Ohio State’s next game is scheduled for October 4, when they will host Minnesota at 7:30 p.m. in Columbus.

How A.J. Hinch led Detroit Tigers to 2025 postseason with 'play the whole schedule' mantra

BOSTON — Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch has sounded like a broken record this season. That’s not a bad thing.

Over the past week, the 12-year MLB manager has repeated the same mantra in different ways — but it’s the exact message he has given his players throughout the entire 2025 season:

“The only thing we can do is play the schedule. Every team has the opportunity to play their schedule. We have nothing to do but get ready for tomorrow’s game because we’ve got to play the schedule.”

### Tigers Clinch 2025 Postseason Berth

After 161 of 162 games, the Tigers punched their ticket to the 2025 postseason with a 2-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, Sept. 27, at Fenway Park. The two runs scored on Jahmai Jones’ single in the fifth inning secured the victory. This marks the Tigers’ second straight playoff berth.

“We have to play the whole schedule regardless — good times, bad times, good stretches, bad stretches,” said Hinch, whose Tigers had lost 12 of 14 games before clinching at least an American League wild-card berth. “We’ve got to play a full season to get where we want to get to.”

### Building Momentum Under Hinch and Harris

This is Hinch’s fifth season as manager and Scott Harris’ third season as president of baseball operations. The franchise has qualified for the postseason in 18 of its 125 seasons, with World Series titles in 1935, 1945, 1968, and 1984.

Harris remains confident about the Tigers’ potential in 2025.

“History,” Harris said. “There are countless examples of teams that maybe didn’t play their best baseball at the end of the regular season, got a fresh start, lined up their pitching, and got really hot in October. We’re going to do everything that we can to be one of those groups.”

### Star Pitcher Tarik Skubal Leads the Charge

Left-hander Tarik Skubal — the 2024 AL Cy Young winner and 2025 AL Cy Young favorite — is scheduled to start Game 1 of the wild-card series. In 31 starts last year, Skubal posted a 2.21 ERA with 33 walks and 241 strikeouts across 195⅓ innings.

In the 2024 postseason, the Tigers swept the Houston Astros in two games during the wild-card series, but eventually lost to the Cleveland Guardians in the best-of-five ALDS. The series was capped by Lane Thomas hitting a grand slam off Skubal in the fifth inning of Game 5.

“This is why you play the game,” Skubal said. “This is what you prepare for. This is why you do all this stuff in the offseason that you do. It’s why you spend the last seven months taking care of yourself daily, and you don’t let your routine change. You stay grinding and try to get a little bit better each and every day. At the end of the day, that’s all I can really control. I’ll do my best to win a game.”

### Perseverance Amidst Challenges

To advance, the Tigers had to play their full schedule — just like Hinch has preached. There were many ups and a few downs along the way, including a tough stretch of just eight wins in 29 games that nearly led to a complete collapse.

The Tigers posted a strong 59-34 record in their first 93 games but went 28-40 since then.

“Experience will tell me that so many things can happen,” Hinch said. “The minute that you don’t respect the entire schedule, which we have respected the whole schedule, but if you don’t, the sport is not very kind to you.”

Hinch has conveyed several key messages to his players throughout the 2025 season: win today’s game, win one series at a time, and play the full 162-game schedule. Now, the Tigers are celebrating another trip to the postseason.

“For the majority of this season, we were asked about postseason, we were asked about October, we were asked about the path to get there, but we hadn’t earned it yet,” Hinch said. “It’s hard to close out seasons, but this team stayed together. The most important thing that happened in the span of games we struggled in was that we never turned our back on one another.”

Mike Elko calls out "gloomy" Texas A media

Mike Elko has his team rolling, but the Texas A&M head coach made it clear Saturday night that the media hasn’t exactly kept up with the program’s momentum.

After the Aggies’ 16-10 win over Auburn—which pushed A&M to 4-0 for the first time since 2016—Elko spent just five minutes fielding questions before putting reporters on the spot. His tone shifted from measured to pointed as he challenged what he described as a dreadful and gloomy line of postgame questioning despite a dominant defensive performance.

“Does anyone want to ask a question about us being 4-0 for the first time since 2016 or how did the defense bounce back?” Elko asked. “Or how about you held them to 176 yards on offense and you had five sacks and they were 0-for-12 on third down and 0-for-2 on fourth down. And, you got the return game going again. I don’t mean to sound like someone else but my gosh would you guys stop being so dreadful and gloomy?”

Texas A&M’s defense delivered arguably its sharpest effort of the season, holding the Tigers to one touchdown and a field goal while suffocating Auburn’s passing attack.

With the win, Texas A&M improved to 4-0 and will host Florida on October 11, one week after the Gators face the Texas Longhorns. A&M will meet Texas in November at DKR Stadium in Austin.

Installing Linux on a PC-98 machine

What if you have a PC-98 machine and want to run Linux on it? Maybe CP/M, OS/2, or Windows (2000 and older) just don’t cut it for you. Well, it turns out that yes, you can run Linux on PC-98 hardware!

Thanks to a lot of work by Nina Kalinina — the same person mentioned just a few days ago — there’s now more information gathered in one place to help you get started.

### Plamo Linux on PC-98

Plamo Linux is one of the few Linux distributions that support the PC-98 series. Plamo 3.x is the latest distribution that can be installed directly on PC-9801 and PC-9821 models. Unfortunately, it is quite old and missing many useful features.

This repository was created to share “a-ha” moments and binaries specifically for Plamo on PC-98.

### Plamo98 Goodies and Upgrades

The repository also details upgrading Plamo Linux from version 3.x to 4.x. The process is a bit more involved than a simple upgrade, but it’s definitely not hard. Upgrading will give you access to newer software, such as:

– GCC 3.3 (over 2.95)
– KDE 3.x
– Python 2.3
– Custom BusyBox configuration files
– A newer version of make
– Several other useful tools and goodies

### Run Linux Like It’s 2003 — On Your PC-98!

Once everything is set up, you can enjoy running Linux like it’s 2003 on your vintage PC-98 machine.

The number of people for whom this is relevant might be extraordinarily small, but at some point, someone is going to want to do this—and find this repository of existing work. We’ve all been there.

Three Anti-ICE Influencers Indicted After Stalking, Doxing Agent in Los Angeles [WATCH]

A federal grand jury has indicted three women accused of following an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent to his home and posting his address on Instagram. The Justice Department announced Friday that Cynthia Raygoza, 37, Ashleigh Brown, 38, and Sandra Carmona Samane, 25, were charged with one count of conspiracy and one count of publicly disclosing the personal information of a federal agent.

According to investigators, the incident occurred on August 28 after the women encountered the agent at the Civic Center in Downtown Los Angeles. Prosecutors said they began livestreaming on Instagram accounts including ice_out_of_la, defendmesoamericanculture, and corn_maiden_design. As the agent drove home, the women allegedly followed him in a black sedan driven by Raygoza.

When he arrived at his residence, the women began shouting to neighbors and livestream viewers, identifying him as an ICE officer. “Your neighbor is ICE,” one of them said. Others shouted, “La migra lives here,” and “ICE lives on your street and you should know.” They concluded by announcing the agent’s address and encouraging viewers to come on down. The footage was later deleted from the Instagram accounts.

Brown and Samane were arrested earlier on federal complaints. Brown is being held without bond, in part because she faces a separate charge for assault on a federal officer. Samane was released on a $5,000 bond. Raygoza remains at large.

Acting U.S. Attorney for Southern California Bill Essayli condemned the incident. “Our brave federal agents put their lives on the line every day to keep our nation safe,” he said. “The conduct of these defendants is deeply offensive to law enforcement officers and their families. If you threaten, dox, or harm in any manner one of our agents or employees, you will face prosecution and prison time.”

The indictment follows a string of recent attacks against ICE. Just days earlier, a gunman killed one and critically injured two others at an immigration facility in Dallas, Texas. Anti-ICE activists also disrupted court proceedings in Los Angeles when the charges were first announced.

The arrests come as California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a new law banning law enforcement officers from wearing masks while on duty. The measure, introduced in response to ICE officers wearing face coverings during Los Angeles immigration raids, is the first of its kind in the nation.

Law enforcement groups have strongly opposed the ban, saying it exposes federal agents to retaliation. Tricia McLaughlin, Homeland Security’s assistant secretary for public affairs, called the law “despicable” and a “flagrant attempt to endanger our officers.” She added that Newsom’s rhetoric had contributed to a 1,000 percent increase in attacks on federal agents and accused him of acting as a sanctuary politician who placed officers at risk of being doxxed and targeted by known and suspected terrorist sympathizers.

Essayli also criticized the measure, stating on X that California has no authority to regulate federal law enforcement. “If Newsom wants to regulate our agents, he must go through Congress,” he wrote.

The California State Sheriffs Association, the Peace Officers Research Association of California, and the California Police Chiefs Association have all voiced opposition, calling the law reckless and dangerous. They argue that protecting the identities of agents is critical for their safety and that of their families, especially in light of increased harassment both online and in public.

President Donald Trump also weighed in, urging Democrats to stop what he described as inflammatory rhetoric against ICE. “The Brave Men and Women of ICE are just trying to do their jobs, and remove the WORST of the WORST Criminals out of our Country, but they are facing an unprecedented increase in threats, violence, and attacks by Deranged Radical Leftists,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“This violence is the result of the Radical Left Democrats constantly demonizing Law Enforcement, calling for ICE to be demolished, and comparing ICE Officers to Nazis,” he continued. “I AM CALLING ON ALL DEMOCRATS TO STOP THIS RHETORIC AGAINST ICE AND AMERICA’S LAW ENFORCEMENT, RIGHT NOW!”

Trump reaffirmed that his administration remains committed to its pledge to secure the nation’s borders and support law enforcement officers carrying out that mission.

Brighton net twice at the death to claim comeback win away to 10-man Chelsea

Brighton struck twice in second-half stoppage-time as 10-man Chelsea threw away the lead to slump to a 3-1 Premier League defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Maxim De Cuypers’ header put Brighton into the lead at the start of 11 added minutes at the end of the match to stun the home side, who had labored ever since the dismissal in the 53rd minute of Trevoh Chalobah. Substitute De Cuypers was left unmarked to nod the ball home after Mats Weiffer had turned Yasin Ayaris’ deep cross back into the box, before fellow substitute Danny Welbeck added a third, his second, to finish Chelsea off.

For the second time in as many league matches, Brighton manager Enzo Maresca had been left looking for answers following a red card. This time he at least had the comfort of an advantage given to his side by Enzo Fernandez’s header midway through the first half. But after Chalobah was sent off for denying Diego Gomez a clear goal-scoring opportunity—as had happened at Old Trafford last weekend—Chelsea were made to improvise.

That they failed to do so raises questions again about this young side’s ability to show guile and organizational nous when under pressure. Manchester United learned last week how rattled Chelsea become when a situation changes rapidly, and here Brighton were the beneficiaries. Welbeck headed them level 13 minutes from time as the game swung the visitors’ way.

Chelsea started excellently and might have finished Brighton off by half-time. Bart Verbruggen kept out free-kicks in the first half from Fernandez and Reece James, while Marc Cucurella fizzed an early effort just a yard wide against his former club. There was a hum of approval from home fans when Estevao Willian nutmegged Ferdi Kadioglu on halfway, then drove determinedly into the box before Jan Paul van Hecke could shovel the ball behind for a corner.

The game was being played at an excitable pace, with all one-touch passing and zig-zagging runs—the antithesis of Chelsea’s lacklustre surrender to United a week ago.

In the absence of Cole Palmer, Fernandez took the number 10 role as he did against Bayern Munich. His speed of thought on the ball and sureness of touch in the centre greased the gears of Chelsea’s early dominance.

The goal after 24 minutes was much deserved. Moises Caicedo slipped the ball into the right channel for James to zip onto, and as his cross skipped up into an arch off the covering Kaoru Mitoma, there at the far post was Fernandez, hanging in the air as it dropped to nod it over the line.

Then came the red card on which the game turned. A dreadful pass from Andrey Santos exposed Chalobah as the last man to the goalwards advance of Gomez. The defender made a hopeless attempt to win the ball from behind, and following a protracted VAR analysis, he was dismissed.

Welbeck came on and shot agonizingly wide after losing Cucurella, as Chelsea failed to clear their lines. But the striker would not be denied. Moments later, he was left free inside the box to rise and bullet Yankuba Minteh’s cross past Robert Sanchez for the equaliser.

De Cuypers’ goal for 2-1 was the killer for Chelsea. Few of their fans remained in the ground by the time Welbeck crashed in his second and Brighton’s third.
