Nottingham Forest ended a run of three successive league defeats but endured another night of missed chances as they drew 1-1 at Ipswich Town in the Premier League, but the result does move the away side out of the relegation zone on goal difference.

Did Texas use artificial intelligence to call fourth-down play against Florida? Longhorns AD clarifies report

On the same day that the University of Texas athletic department announced a brand new artificial intelligence lab on its campus called the 'Bevo Lab', some fans are wondering if Steve Sarkisian is using AI to call plays on offense.

The situation in Austin around what's taking place within the football program has been interesting, to say the least.

Whether it's the offensive scheme that comes from head coach Steve Sarkisian or the underwhelming play from quarterback Arch Manning, this has all led to frustration from Texas fans after consecutive losses to unranked teams.

On Friday, the school announced that is has created a state-of-the-art facility on campus that brings artificial intelligence to the forefront of decision making and daily activities that consume the life of an athletic staff.

DID WE CREATE A MONSTER? ARCH MANNING'S 'AW SHUCKS' PERSONA IS SUPPOSEDLY GONE BEFORE MUST-WIN GAME AGAINST OLE MISS

A brand new 25,000-square-foot AI lab will now be the home to some of the more innovative decisions that coaches are making to better help serve their teams at Texas.

Now, with the help of Google, the school has started producing different mechanisms to help with this new era of college athletics, which includes how to deal with revenue-sharing and roster building.

But, when it comes to calling plays for the Longhorns football team, the new venture into artificial intelligence seems to have caused a stir on Friday morning thanks to a report from the Austin-American Statesman.

"In the fourth quarter of last week's game against Florida at Royal-Memorial Stadium, the Longhorns put the new initiative to use," the report said. "Down 20-17 and facing a fourth-and-2, Texas needed a spark. So, coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff turned to their new artificial intelligence data analytics platform, Bevo Lab.

"While the Longhorns ultimately failed to convert after quarterback Arch Manning lost three yards on the play, Del Conte said the moment was a pivotal embrace of the new tech."

Well, it didn’t take long for Texas fans to scramble across social media thinking that Steve Sarkisian fired up the AI platform and asked which play to run like the head coach was playing a game of EA Sports College Football 2026.

STEVE SARKISIAN FACES BRUTAL ARCH MANNING DECISION AS TEXAS’ SEASON BEGINS TO SLIP AWAY AMID LOSSES

As you would expect, fans were all over the place with their comments, wondering what else could go wrong this season after a very long three-week stretch of contemplating what it would mean if Texas did not make the CFP this year with Arch Manning and a very expensive roster.

You can rest easy though, Longhorns.

Athletic Director Chris Del Conte must have heard about the ruckus this morning amid their grand announcement regarding AI, because it took only around an hour for him to clarify what the report was trying to insinuate.

"Texas AD Chris Del Conte clarified a published article which said that the decision to go for it on 4th and 2 against Florida last week was based on Bevo Lab analysis," Del Conte told Bobby Burton.

"To the contrary, Del Conte said he gave it as an example of what it could suggest, not of what it actually did."

Sure, Steve Sarkisian and his football staff are receiving help from AI when it comes to putting together daily activities, just like the rest of us that live in the corporate world.

But no, I don't imagine the Longhorns head coach is telling Arch Manning what to run on fourth down based off what prompt the Texas staff was inserting into AI chat along the sidelines with a critical game on the line.

I know things are tense in Austin right now, but everyone needs to take a very deep breath before the Longhorns face Ole Miss on Saturday night.

AI play-calling might be the least of their worries if Arch Manning and this Texas offense cannot put it together against the Rebels.

Data broker opt-out: How retirees can protect their data

Your home address, phone number and relatives' names may be sitting on people search websites you've never visited. Anyone who finds those listings could learn more about you than you're comfortable sharing. A data broker opt-out can help reduce that exposure, especially during retirement, when protecting your finances, family and home becomes a priority.

And a tragic case in Minnesota shows why publicly available personal information deserves a closer look. Here's what happened in Minnesota and the steps you can take to make your personal information harder to find online.

WHAT A SCAMMER SEES THE MOMENT THEY GOOGLE YOUR NAME

In June 2025, Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were murdered in a targeted attack. State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were seriously injured in a separate shooting. Investigators discovered notebooks containing the names of public officials and a handwritten list of 11 people search websites in the suspect's vehicle. 

The list included TruePeopleSearch, Spokeo, Pipl, PeopleFinders, BeenVerified, Whitepages, TruthFinder, Intelius, Ownerly, USSearch and PeopleLooker. The notes described which services were free and what information someone could find through them.

However, the discovery alone did not establish whether the websites supplied the victims' addresses. On June 11, Vance Boelter pleaded guilty to federal charges in the murders, shootings and stalking of the victims. He was sentenced July 23 to two consecutive life terms, plus 40 years, in federal prison. Separate state charges remain pending. The case raised an unsettling question: How easily could someone find your home address and information about your family?

Data brokers collect information from public records, online activity, commercial databases and other sources. They then combine those details into profiles that businesses and individuals may be able to purchase or access. Some companies specialize in marketing information. Others operate people search websites that make personal details available through free searches or paid reports.

Depending on the company and the available records, those profiles may include:

Not every broker collects or sells all this information. Credit reporting agencies also operate under different legal requirements than many people search services. Still, these records can reveal details you never intended to share with strangers. For a closer look at how criminals assemble this information, read our CyberGuy report on how scammers build a profile on you using data brokers.

Scammers can use publicly available details to make their stories more convincing. As a result, a suspicious call or message may sound surprisingly personal.

Here are some of the potential risks.

Even if you've never experienced one of these problems, reducing the amount of personal information available online can make it harder for someone to research you.

THE SECRET LIST THAT TELLS SCAMMERS YOU'RE AN EASY TARGET

You can request removal from many people search websites for free. However, each company may have different requirements, and removing a listing doesn't always prevent it from returning.

Here's how to get started.

If you live in California, you now have another option. The state's free Delete Request and Opt-out Platform (DROP) at privacy.ca.gov/drop/ launched in January 2026. It allows eligible residents to submit one deletion request to more than 600 registered data brokers. Beginning August 1, 2026, covered data brokers were required to start processing those requests. 

The system also requires recurring checks for matching information, although legal exceptions apply and removal is not immediate. Other states have their own privacy laws and removal rights, so your options may depend on where you live.

If manually contacting dozens of websites sounds exhausting, a data removal service can handle much of the work for you. These services help identify data brokers and people-search websites that may have your information. They can also submit removal requests on your behalf and follow up when necessary.

Depending on the provider and subscription plan, available features may include:

To get started, choose a reputable data removal service, create an account and provide the information needed to identify your records. You'll typically need to authorize the service to submit removal requests on your behalf. Some providers also offer family plans that cover multiple household members.

Before subscribing, compare the websites each service covers, its removal process, ongoing monitoring features and subscription costs.

Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visiting CyberGuy.com.

Even with automated removal, some personal information may remain publicly accessible. Property ownership records, government databases and certain court records can continue displaying details about you. Data removal services generally cannot force government agencies to delete legally available public records.

Additionally, not every website must honor a removal request. Some services offer custom removals, but legal restrictions and technical limitations can prevent certain information from being deleted.

Removing data broker listings also cannot undo previous data breaches or guarantee that scammers will stop contacting you.

Still, reducing the number of websites exposing your information can make it harder for strangers to find personal details. For retirees, that added privacy can help reduce exposure to targeted scams and unwanted contact.

What concerns me most is how much someone can learn about you without ever meeting you. Your address, family connections and personal history can give scammers information they can use to gain your trust. And once that information starts circulating, controlling where it goes becomes difficult. 

That's why I recommend taking a proactive approach. Start by finding out what's publicly available, remove what you can and keep checking. If the process becomes overwhelming, a reputable data removal service can help with the ongoing work. You may never erase every trace of yourself from the internet, but you can make your personal information harder to find.

Have you ever searched your name on a people search website and been surprised by how much information was available? Let us know by writing to us at CyberGuy.com.

Philadelphia 76ers bring LeBron James and Jaylen Brown to MSG for NBA Opening Day clash with champion Knicks

I have always felt that, above any other league, the NBA does a great job of trying to provide the best matchups on the biggest days. The NBA Opening Day brings three phenomenal games. The first is between the Celtics and Pistons, and the last one of the night is between the Spurs and Thunder. Sandwiched between the two games is this one between the 76ers and the Knicks.

The Philadelphia 76ers are most people's pick to win the Eastern Conference this season. Their additions of Jaylen Brown and LeBron James are the main cause of all of the excitement. Adding those two players to the lineup with Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and VJ Edgecombe gives them arguably the best starting lineup in the league. Their bench is a bit thin, with just Anfernee Simons and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope as the main players. This team isn't built for the regular season; they are built for the playoffs.

There is obviously a long way to go before we get there. There will almost certainly be a learning period for the team to play together. There are now four guys on the team who could be the leading scorer for the team if they got the opportunity. There will be some questions about matchups and defense. There will be some struggles trying to play together. Those may come out tonight against a team with continuity and even more reason to be excited.

LEBRON JAMES’ 76ERS DEBUT SET FOR BLOCKBUSTER KNICKS SHOWDOWN AT MSG

The New York Knicks are raising a banner tonight and receiving their rings. That alone will make the entire fanbase of Madison Square Garden go nuts. This team has already captured the hearts of New York, and tonight is the final marker of the celebration from last year's championship. The Knicks have a deep starting lineup with Jalen Brunson being the superstar. Karl-Anthony Towns is still an elite option, and his backup, Andre Drummond, will help the team maintain some strength when he goes to the bench. I like him more than Mitchell Robinson, to be honest.

I am most interested in seeing how the team responds after the opening ceremony. When the ball goes up for tip-off, it will essentially be the same as any other time. The Knicks have the edge in terms of familiarity. That helps quite a bit in basketball, but the big issue for them in this will be on defense. Teams have tried to exploit Brunson on defense for years, but against the 76ers, no matter who he guards, they will have the advantage.

The NBA Preseason doesn't always give us much insight, but I think there might be some opportunity for us to look into how the 76ers did their substitutions. They were trying to keep two of the four- James, Brown, Embiid, and Maxey- on the floor at all times. The Knicks might have a lot of adrenaline coming into the quarter, but I think the rotations for the 76ers, and being a bit amped up, might cause them to not shoot all that well. I think the total of 60.5 points in the first quarter is just a bit too high for this one. Give me the under 60.5 in the first quarter.

Pope Leo XIV seen for first time since lung cancer surgery amid major recovery milestone

Pope Leo XIV is up and moving after having part of his lung removed.

After undergoing thoracic surgery Tuesday, during which surgeons removed the lower lobe of the pope’s right lung, examination of the tissue confirmed a diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma, or lung cancer, according to the Vatican.

The pope, 71, has spent four days recovering at Gemelli Hospital in Rome, Italy, after the successful procedure.

DR MARC SIEGEL: POPE LEO'S LUNG SURGERY PUTS MODERN MEDICINE ALONGSIDE FAITH

On Friday, the Vatican released the first photos of Pope Leo after the operation.

The pope is pictured standing at an altar in green vestments, celebrating Mass in a makeshift chapel at the hospital where he distributed communion.

According to a Holy See Press Office statement, several members of Gemelli’s medical and nursing staff and members of the Vatican City State Gendarmerie Corps attended the service.

POPE LEO'S LUNG TUMOR RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT CANCER RISK FOR NONSMOKERS

"In his homily, the pope thanked all the staff — doctors, nurses and orderlies — for the work they do every day caring for patients in their frailty and especially for what they have done and continue to do for him," the statement said.

The Vatican also confirmed on Friday that the pope’s recovery continues with "steady improvement in his overall condition."

Dr. Luigi Carbone and professor Stefano Margaritora added that the pope’s "post-operative recovery allows him to carry out normal daily activities entirely independently."

Pope Leo plans to make his first public appearance since the procedure on Sunday during the noon Angelus, which he normally leads.

NEVER SMOKED A CIGARETTE? YOU COULD STILL BE AT HIGHER RISK FOR LUNG CANCER

Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel said the pope’s procedure included a small incision with VAT (video-assisted thoracoscopy), which involves less pain and has a quicker recovery.

The pope has been in good health "to begin with" and is highly active, which plays a "major role in recovery," Siegel told Fox News Digital.

"Since he wasn’t a smoker and likely had very good underlying lung function, loss of a lobe, when there are three total on the right, shouldn’t have a major impact on daily activity, especially with pain controlled," the doctor added.

In a separate Fox News Digital interview, Lary Robinson, an oncologist at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida, shared his surprise regarding the pope’s health status.

About 80% of lung cancers occur in people who smoke or have smoked, said Robinson, who has not treated the pope. However, he noted that lung cancer also occurs among never-smokers, including an estimated 10% of male patients and 25% of female patients.

"But [the pope] had surgery and had a lobectomy, so this is usually only done with people who have localized disease, and presumably he had localized disease. And hopefully that's a Stage 1 cancer," the doctor added.

If the pope’s cancer is Stage 1, there is a "high chance" of cure — about 90% — depending on the size of the tumor, the oncologist said. The fact that he went straight to surgery suggests there was likely no evidence that the cancer had spread.

TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ

"We'll have to wait for the pathology to determine … whether he needs any additional treatment afterward," Robinson said.

The pope’s anticipated trip to South America in November is reportedly still on schedule, though his participation remains in question based on recovery.

Las Vegas investigators say they've identified shooting victim's body found in Lake Mead barrel

Las Vegas authorities say they've identified a suspected murder victim whose remains were found in a barrel in Lake Mead four years ago and are expected to publicly announce it later today.

Receding water levels helped expose the barrel and have been credited for the discovery of other human remains in the lake, including those of suspected drowning victims and missing persons.

"The bad old days always resurface, don’t they?" said Randy Sutton, a retired Las Vegas police lieutenant who has been monitoring the case.
