Good morning. 25 years ago today, the world changed forever. As I do every year, I'll be watching "The Man in the Red Bandana." Never forget. In today's edition: 49ers smoke Rams in Australia, Behind the Lens, the NFL's new pay hierarchy, Weekend Watchlist, the home run that saved a life on 9/11, Guess The Logo, and more. Yahoo Sports AM is written by Kendall Baker and Jeff Tracy. Let's sports...   🏈 DOWN UNDER NINERS CRUISE IN MELBOURNE (Quinn Rooney/Getty Images) The 49ers destroyed the Rams, 27-7, in the NFL's first Australia game — a result that will reset expectations in a stacked NFC West and raise questions about the Rams as the anointed preseason Super Bowl favorites. Goose eggs: San Francisco denied Matthew Stafford a touchdown after he scored one in every single game last season, and reigning DPOY Myles Garrett failed to make an entry in the box score in his Rams debut. No tackles. No sacks. No QB hits. Nothing. (Morgan Hancock/Getty Images) Jason Owens, Yahoo Sports: The lack of pressure from Garrett and the Rams' defense in part allowed Brock Purdy and San Francisco's offense to have their way. The 49ers entered halftime with a 10-7 lead thanks to a 39-yard touchdown connection from Purdy to Demarcus Robinson in which Purdy had all the time in the world to make the downfield throw. After halftime, the 49ers blew the game open. They drove 51 yards on seven plays on the opening drive of the third quarter that ended with Purdy's second touchdown of the game. After a goal-line stand by San Francisco, the 49ers marched 99 yards for another touchdown and a 24-7 lead. At that point early in the fourth quarter the game was all but over. The last word: "Sometimes sports can humble you and today was one of those days," said Rams head coach Sean McVay. "Whether you want to say it's about travel, whatever, we just weren't good enough. … They deserve the win."   💰 HIGHEST-PAID THE NFL'S NEW PAY HIERARCHY When Christian Gonzalez extended his contract with the Patriots on Monday, he became the fourth cornerback this offseason to claim the position's highest-paid throne, completing a summer in which record pay was established at nearly every position on the field. Formation shift: While pay is escalating across the board, the composition of the league's best-paid players has oscillated over the last decade. Quarterbacks have long topped the league, with edge rushers chasing them on and off the field. Beneath the surface, though, shifts have occurred among the positions comprising the NFL's top 50 highest-paid players by average annual value. QBs have consistently ceded ground, with only 16 making the top 50 this season, down from 23 in 2016. It's no longer enough to be a starter — teams will move on before committing top dollar to a substandard signal caller. Wide receivers have been the primary beneficiary of that shift, with elite pass catchers compensated to keep their expensive passers well-armed. No love for the line? Perhaps most striking is the absence of offensive linemen. Five years ago, nine offensive linemen ranked in the top 50. This year, only one makes the grade. Bottom line: Pay is rising, and records are falling for the NFL's elite, no matter the position. But it sure is nice to be in the passing or pass-rushing business.   📸 PHOTOGRAPHY BEHIND THE LENS (Carmen Mandato/Getty Images) Each week in Yahoo Sports AM, we'll be going "Behind the Lens" with Getty Images to get the backstory on the best photographs in sports. This week's photo: Juan Soto celebrates a home run against the Marlins with a sunflower-seed shower. Photographer: Carmen Mandato Location: Miami, Florida Date: Sept. 8 Behind the lens: Here's Carmen… At Marlins Park there's a bit of a give and take. From my photo position — about 20 feet away in the photo well — I can somewhat see the visiting dugout; but I'm also pretty obstructed, and I can't see the Marlins dugout at all. The important thing to know with shooting baseball is that we're not allowed to move around, so I can't really change the distance between myself and the subjects, which naturally reduces some of the visual variety in the coverage. Because of that, anytime there's a celebration, interaction or human moment, I make sure I'm looking for it. With this particular photo, I was on a telephoto lens because from that vantage point, I am largely blocked and need to clean up a lot of what's happening visually. Dugout celebrations are wonderful on a wide angle, and ideally I would love to shoot it that way, but here I was trying to use the telephoto to create intimacy instead. Juan had just hit a three-run home run, so I was looking for anything that added to that moment: teammates reacting, sunflower seeds flying, gum, whatever is happening. Anything that helps show the joy and personality of the players. I think having those humanizing, intimate moments is really important in sports coverage whenever you can get them. Equipment and technique: Carmen shot this with a Canon EOS R1 and Canon RF 400mm lens. She used an extremely fast shutter speed of 1/1000th of a second with a setting of f/2.8, ISO 400, indicating a wide aperture and moderate light sensitivity.   📺 VIEWING GUIDE WEEKEND WATCHLIST (Yahoo Sports) 🏈 NFL, Week 1 After two midweek games to whet our appetite, Sunday brings the glorious return of wall-to-wall NFL action. The games we're most intrigued by in the 1pm ET slot? Buccaneers at Bengals (Fox), Ravens at Colts (CBS) and Bills at Texans (CBS).

The women's final between No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and No. 2. Elena Rybakina is tomorrow (4pm), and the men's final is on Sunday (2pm). Ending the drought: Shelton and Tiafoe have a chance to make some pretty big history this weekend. For starters, the winner of their match will become the first Black American man to reach a US Open final since Arthur Ashe in 1972. And if they then win that match, they'll be the first American man to win a Grand Slam since Andy Roddick won here in 2003. ⛳️ Solheim Cup The 20th edition of the biennial women's golf tournament tees off today (Fri-Sun, Golf) in the Netherlands, where Nelly Korda and Team USA will look to defend their title against Charley Hull and Team Europe in the Ryder Cup-style event.

It was his girlfriend's father calling to make sure he had seen that a plane had just plowed into the World Trade Center's North Tower. "How could somebody do this?" Thomas remembers wondering to himself. "How could this even happen?" Later that day, after Thomas and his teammates had gathered in the New Britain clubhouse, a team official approached the Australian pitcher with a dazed expression. That was how Thomas learned that he and his girlfriend originally had seats aboard the first of the hijacked planes, that they were nearly two of the flight's 90-plus fatalities, that the outcome of an innocuous playoff series essentially spared their lives. (Grant Thomas/Yahoo Sports) 🏈 Ross Dellenger: 4 scars, 2 plates and a rebuilt heart: Inside the incredible rise of Texas' Trevor Goosby The scar runs from Trevor Goosby's right forearm to his right triceps. There's another scar on his left hand. And then a third along his left shoulder. If he lifts up his shirt — he's nice enough to do so — you'll see a foot-long scar cutting his sternum in half. Four scars. Two metal plates. A reattached arm muscle. A couple rebuilt joints. And, most serious of them all, a skin graft to plug a hole in his heart. Somehow, someway, despite the bumps and the bruises, the surgeries and the rehab, Goosby, an under-recruited 3-star prospect, made it here: The anchor on a Texas offensive line that protects a member of the Manning family; the bulwark for the fourth-ranked team in the country; the late-blooming teddy bear of a man whose favorite hobby is building Legos. (Mallory Bielecki/Yahoo Sports) 🏈 Jay Busbee: Chicago has its next Michael Jordan in Caleb Williams… at least that's the hope At the start of his third season, Caleb Williams stands on the doorstep of glory. He's already given Bears fans the kind of hope they haven't had in decades. And if he's able to keep the reigning NFC North champion Bears on their current trajectory, well — immortality awaits. Nobody loves a hometown hero quite like Chicago. "The entire city of Chicago is behind Caleb Williams in a way that I've never seen us get behind a Bears quarterback," says Kevin Kaduk, author of the Bears By 7 newsletter. "It's just a different feeling of confidence when he goes out there and works with Ben Johnson. What's also cool is that he's out and about around town. … When he goes to Wrigley Field to watch Pete Crow-Armstrong, he sits in the stands, not a luxury box."   🔎 LET'S PLAY GUESS THE LOGO Question: Can you guess this zoomed in NFL logo?

I underlined that. Sorry I didn't make that clear. Underlined or not, EGW calls the Wescott & Hort based English Revised Version, "the true version" compared to the KJV. The reference you cited is from the Desire of Ages, not the Review & Herald article I quoted from. The article is certainly written by EGW or at least credited to her. July 5, 1898 in the Review and Herald, Ellen White quoted the English Revised Version, based on the Greek test of Wescott & Hort. She called it the true version, compared to the KJV. I agree that we need to be careful in our studies. You cited a reference from Desire of Ages. I cited one from the R & H. In the Review and Herald article she says "the true version reads," siding with the English Revised Version against the KJV. Get it? The English Revised Version, at least in this text, is the true version. That version is based on the Greek text of Wescott and Hort. Westcott and Hort manuscripts

"God has withheld His blessings because His people have not worked in harmony with His directions. Test 7 P18. " I know its not a popular message, but he is right. In the fastest growing division of the church, SSD, we have 1 pastor to every 7-9 churches. That district produces at least 100 baptisms per year. Often a new church plant. It is amazing.

Need to be careful in your studies as the underlined part is not from Ellen White nor in the R&H as you see the original here https://text.egwwritings.org/read/14874.4577

No settled pastors. That is the way it is in 90% of our church. We see our pastor 3 or 4 times a year. Seems to work well. No control issues like USA.

September 12, 2026 Good morning. Melissa Kirsch is taking the day off. Pinch-hitting is Jancee Dunn, the host of our Well newsletter (sign up here to get it delivered to your inbox). She wants to take you for a walk. Walk this way By Jancee Dunn My average daily step count so far this year is 10,975. Fall is prime walking season: the cooling air, the changing colors. I have made a vow to take a good, substantial walk every day until hibernation season kicks in. Sometimes I have to be creative to get myself out the door. So I’ve come up with some go-to themes for my walks. For example: The Rage Walk. The other day, I was irked after I had been on hold with the I.R.S. for over an hour and laced up my sneakers. After I stomped around for a while, I eventually got distracted by my neighbor’s dahlias and found my anger had subsided. I make a point to take walks to savor happy feelings as well; on the recent news from my mom that her cancer is in remission, I took a peaceful, meandering morning stroll in a park near my house and listened to the birds sing. The Melancholy Walk. Putting one foot in front of the other has been shown to reduce depression and anxiety. My daughter is headed to college next year, and I’m already glum about it. I find a nighttime stroll, looking up at the moon with Lana Del Rey in my earbuds, allows me to wallow a bit in feelings of loss, work through them a little, and maybe even see the beauty in some endings. The Issue Walk. There’s something about perambulation that helps me work out my problems. My best friend and I have a ritual: If one of us is wrestling with some sort of dilemma, we’ll schedule a walk and hash it out. I’m in New Jersey and she’s in New York City, so we do it via earbuds. We’ll march along briskly, our walk providing a little forward momentum that makes us feel more confident and capable. Walktivity Sometimes I simply ask myself: Can I turn this activity into a walk? My boss and I have done our weekly check-in walking around the block outside the office. Next week I’ve scheduled a catch-up call with a former teacher who lives in another state, and I plan to do it while on the move. When I have time, I walk to the post office instead of driving. I used to meet a friend I’ve known since the Clinton administration for regular lunch dates. After she canceled several times in a row, I (gently) asked what was up. She explained that money was tight and she just couldn’t swing eating out that much anymore. So I proposed a walk instead. Our meandering walk-and-talks, it turns out, are much livelier than sitting in a restaurant. I’ve floated this idea to a few other friends in lieu of dates with price tags; no one has refused me yet. It’s good for you Walking has been shown to lower risk for many types of cancer and heart disease. Research suggests it can ease lower back pain, and also build and maintain strong bones. And if you’re seeking connection, a walk is a low-key way to put yourself out there and meet people. I’ve found that if someone has a dog or a young child, it’s particularly easy to strike up a chat. When I encounter a pup, I might ask, “Is your dog usually this beautifully behaved?” Inevitably, the reply will be “God, no,” followed by a tale of mayhem. I’ve found that toddlers crave power and respect; greeting them with “sir” or “madam” and a slight bow often thrills them. Or I might ask the child’s opinion on what I should have for my next meal (chicken nuggets and pizza are the front-runners). I love that walking is accessible for all ages. I find I can extract more information from my teenager on a long ramble, and indeed there is research suggesting communication is easier when you’re walking side by side, with little eye contact, rather than face to face. My father is 84 and likes to drop by my place for lunch. We used to sit in the kitchen and chat after eating. Now, I try to coax him outside for a stroll. Last week, he resisted because it was rainy, so I told him I wouldn’t divulge a delicious piece of family gossip unless we did a few laps around the block. Dad likes to pretend that he’s above gossip, but he’s not. His mouth pursed in disapproval, he stood up, put on his cap and headed for the door. Sign up for Jancee's weekly newsletter, Well.

Pool photo by Hiroko Masuike All four living ex-presidents gathered in Manhattan for a ceremony to mark the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. President Trump spoke at the Pentagon. Rudy Giuliani had called on Mayor Zohran Mamdani to skip the Manhattan memorial. But the two ended up shaking hands at the event. “I’ll pray for you,” Giuliani appeared to say. “It’s a really hard job.” Trump, who has long railed against the so-called forever wars that followed 9/11, used his speech at the Pentagon ceremony to justify his military action in Iran. Americans who enlisted in the military because of the attacks spoke about how that decision shaped their lives. Chang W.

You don’t necessarily need to pay for more cloud storage. Instead, spend 10 to 15 minutes each month freeing up space. Start by deleting any apps you no longer want or need; your settings menu can make this process easier by pulling up your least-used apps. Photos and videos eat up tons of space, so delete any unnecessary duplicates, screenshots or screen recordings. Consider setting your text messages to auto-delete after a designated amount of time. And, finally, remove any downloads (say, of TV shows or podcast episodes) that you’ve already streamed or know you’ll never get around to. — Brenda Stolyar NOW TIME TO PLAY Here is today’s Spelling Bee.
