Why the NFL just put AI on its roster
Just in time for the season's kick off, the National Football League (NFL) is tapping into artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze game and performance insights in real time. On Aug. 20, the NFL and Microsoft announced they are expanding their partnership to bring AI to the field. Integrating technologies like Azure AI and Microsoft Copilot, coaches and players across the 32 NFL teams may now have more efficient sideline evaluations and enhanced scouting insights. Beyond the playing field, the 30 franchise stadiums will also have AI available to streamline its operations during the multiyear partnership. 'The NFL and Microsoft partnership is entering a new era, and we're proud the league is once again putting its trust in Microsoft to bring AI to the NFL,' Corporate Vice President, Global Marketing, Microsoft, Bryson Gordon said in a blog post announcement. 'Whether you're preparing for the championship or running a global enterprise, the principles are the same: insights matter, preparation is essential, and the ability to act quickly is critical.' Fast Company reached out to Microsoft and the NFL for comment but did not hear back at the time of publishing. AI-powered sideline decisions The current NFL's Sideline Viewing System —league-provided, Microsoft configured tablets available to all clubs—will be upgraded to include SurfaceCopilot+ PCs, providing data and analysis tools on game day. 'Making sound decisions and putting players in the best spots on the field is a coach's ultimate responsibility,' head coach of the Los Angeles Rams Sean McVay said in a blog post. 'Microsoft Copilot enhances our efficiency and accuracy by breaking down complex data into digestible insights.' For coaches and players, the dashboard will feature the ability to sort through plays filtering through scoring plays and penalties, and analyze formations and coverage. The feature, which is built with GitHub Copilot, will allow teams to make faster strategic decisions based on data. Additionally, club analysts may quickly spot insights like personnel groupings and more from the coaching booth using the upgraded dashboard. Beyond the field The NFL's integration with Copilot and Azure, is not the league's first AI related partnership in recent years. Notably, Sony's Hawk-Ey e, which uses cameras and artificial intelligence to make calls, is set to replace the line measuring system in favor of the faster and quicker autonomous option. Still, Microsoft's partnership is set to expand beyod sidelines, integrating unto day-to-day activities at clubs and stadiums. Research is still underway for ways to incorporate Copilot as a tool for operation managers to help identify incidents like technical issues or weather conflicts to generate its own AI-powered dashboard for game day operations. While still in the works, the partnership also aims to provide data-driven insights on draft performance, as well as insights on non-football-related operations like business, finance, human resources, and events functions.

Basketball at 2028 LA Olympics will start 2 days before opening ceremony, FIBA says
MIES, Switzerland (AP) — Basketball at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will start two days before the opening ceremony for those Games, organizers confirmed Wednesday. FIBA, the sport's global governing body, said that it has reviewed a revised basketball schedule for Los Angeles and that games will begin on July 12, 2028 — ahead of the July 14 opening ceremony. It is unclear if the men's tournament, the women's tournament or both will start before the official opening. A preliminary schedule released last month calls for three basketball games on July 12 and three more on July 13. 'This adjustment allows the quarterfinals to be played over two days and will also ensure that no game will start earlier than (noon), enhancing the overall experience for players, teams, fans and broadcasters,' FIBA said in a news release. Bronze-medal games will be played on July 28 and 29, and gold-medal games will occur on July 29 and 30. July 30 is the final day of the Games. Several other sports also are scheduled to start before the opening ceremony, including field hockey, rugby sevens, water polo, handball, cricket and soccer. The canoe slalom competition in Oklahoma City is expected to start in the morning of July 14, hours before the opening ceremony later that day about 1,200 miles (1,931 km) away. The U.S. is the defending men's and women's Olympic basketball champion. The women have won eight consecutive golds, while the men have won five straight. ___ AP Olympics:

Worrisome Update Suggests Flame-Throwing Orioles Closer Could Miss Another Full Season
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. What has been a bad season for the Baltimore Orioles got a bit worse on Wednesday. As first reported by Orioles beat writer Jake Rill, closer Felix Bautista underwent successful surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff and could miss all of next season. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - JUNE 04: Felix Bautista #74 of the Baltimore Orioles wipes hit forehead during the game against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park on June 04, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. The Baltimore Orioles... SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - JUNE 04: Felix Bautista #74 of the Baltimore Orioles wipes hit forehead during the game against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park on June 04, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. The Baltimore Orioles won 3-2. MoreBautista last appeared July 20, and uncharacteristically struggled with command, prompting Baltimore to dive more into the situation. The decision was made to place Bautista on the IL, and it was eventually revealed that he would need surgery. Bautista missed all of last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery and with an expected recovery time of 12 months after his surgery, he may miss another full season. In his first season back after pitching to a 1.48 ERA with 33 saves and 110 strikeouts in 2023, Bautista was having a solid season. He had a 2.50 ERA, 19 saves and 50 strikeouts across 35 appearances and 34 2/3 innings pitched. Félix Bautista, Vicious Splitter and 99mph Fastball combo. 😤 — Rob Friedman (@PitchingNinja) May 1, 2025 Most of Baltimore's relievers are under contract for next season, so it will have a full offseason to prepare and plan for who next season's closer will be. That decision will presumably be made by whoever is hired to be the next head coach of the Orioles. There is a world where Bautista is able to get ahead of schedule with his rehab and make a return to the Baltimore bullpen at some point during the second half next season. If the Orioles are able to have a bounce-back season and stay in the postseason hunt, the return of their closer in late August or early September would be a huge addition.
