Sports Updated on: August 18, 2023 / 12:00 PM / AP ATLANTA - San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler has received a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for returning to the dugout area following his fourth-inning ejection during Tuesday's home win over Tampa Bay. Kapler will serve his suspension Friday night when the Giants, 10 1/2 games back in the NL West but 1 1/2 games up in the wild card, begin a three-game series against the major league-leading Atlanta Braves. "First, I violated the spirit of the rule, right?" Kapler said before the game. "The spirit of the rule is the manager goes up the clubhouse, gets in street clothes, (and I) violated that being around the dugout area. ... At this point, a warranted move. ... I'll be monitoring the game from the clubhouse. I'll be in the office with the door shut to make sure no temptation sneaks in." Bench coach Kai Correa and pitching coach Andrew Bailey will combine to serve as interim manager for the game.  » Read More

On Tuesday, Snapchat's My AI in-app chatbot posted its own Story to the app that appeared to be a photo of a wall and ceiling. It then stopped responding to users' messages, which some Snapchat users found disconcerting. TechCrunch reports: Though the incident made for some great tweets (er, posts), we regret to inform you that My AI did not develop self-awareness and a desire to express itself through Snapchat Stories. Instead, the situation arose because of a technical outage, just as the bot explained. Snap confirmed the issue, which was quickly addressed last night, was just a glitch. (And My AI wasn't snapping photos of your room, by the way). "My AI experienced a temporary outage that's now resolved," a spokesperson told TechCrunch. However,  » Read More

Packers' Projected Winners of Key Position Battles0 of 3Luke MusgraveStacy Revere/Getty ImagesWith the Packers headed toward Week 2 of the preseason, key position battles are starting to come into sharp focus. Not only have the coaches got a good look at players throughout training camp practices, but they also now have some game film to break down.That means there should be some leaders in the clubhouse. There are still a few weeks left before Week 1 and two more preseason games, including the Saturday night contest against the New England Patriots.So, while there could still be some movement on the depth chart between the season opener against the Chicago Bears, we have a pretty good idea of who is going to wind up winning the jobs that were open going into training camp.Safety1 of 3Jonathan OwensLarry Radloff/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesIt was fair to wonder if Darnell Savage's job was in jeopardy going into training camp.  » Read More

AMSTERDAM — Notice has been served to Lance Orcutt of the city’s intent to exercise its reverter clause to reclaim the clubhouse property and pavilion at the Amsterdam Municipal Golf Course, according to Mayor Michael Cinquanti. Officials reportedly reached a unanimous decision to take legal action during an executive session conducted at the end of Tuesday’s Common Council meeting. Corporation Counsel Anthony Casale issued notices regarding the city’s intentions the next day, according to a statement released by Cinquanti around 5 p.m. on Wednesday. “The public is very much aware of the city’s frustration in the lack of progress in the construction of the new clubhouse, which was to have been completed by May 1, 2022. Since that time, there have been a litany of broken promises and progress benchmarks that have not been met,” the statement reads. “With the current golf season nearing its end, now is the time for the city and Amsterdam Muni to move on. Finding another way to get a new clubhouse built at Muni is not something we want to do,  » Read More
