Now that the Denver Broncos are reporting for training camp, fans will likely get a more inside looks at the team's new training facility. While some introductory pictures were released by the team in mid-July, the first interior video of the facility has been shared on Instagram by Kayla Jones, wife of Broncos defensive lineman D.J. Jones.
The video captured several never-before-seen areas of the new building. Some of the new areas shown include an in-house barbershop (complete with an orange and blue striped barber chair), a mini indoor field, shaded table seating on the roof of the building, and a revamped locker room ready for the team.
You can check out Kayla's video, as well as a better view of the Broncos' new barbershop, below.
The $175 million facility, and all its bells and whistles, is a visible sign of the past two seasons of work. The facility was first announced in November 2023 and broke ground in late August 2024. The state-of-the-art campus was funded completely by the Walton-Penner ownership group, and is 30 percent bigger than their old headquarters building, according to the team's website.
The building also is a reminder of the Walton-Penner ownership group's commitment to making the team one of the best in the NFL, both on and off the field. The next big investment in the club will be the team's new stadium, on track to be built at the team's preferred site at Denver's historic Burnham Yard. While finalized plans have not been announced quite yet, the team is committing significant time and energy into the beautification of the area, and community inclusivity. You can see all the updates on the team's stadium website. The biggest remaining hurdle will be the relocation of Denver Water, which is located at Burnham Yard.

The recent entry of Elon Musk's ******* eX (SPCX) into public markets has garnered investment interest on Capitol Hill, with half a dozen lawmakers taking stakes in the company, according to recently disclosed transactions.
The first apparent purchase came from Rep. Lisa McClain, a Republican and member of House Speaker Mike Johnson's leadership team. Her husband purchased between $100,000 and $250,000 in Musk's xAI in December 2025, before it was folded into ******* eX in February, giving the lawmaker and her family early exposure to the public debut on June 12.
SpaceX's initial public offering then saw five more lawmakers make purchases, according to the disclosures.
Rep. John James, a Michigan Republican, was first in as his wife bought between $15,000 and $50,000 worth of stock on the day of the IPO.
Three more GOP lawmakers — Rep. Daniel Meuser of Pennsylvania, William Timmons of South Carolina, and John McGuire of Virginia — obtained shares three days later.

Just a few weeks ago, only a handful of members of the U.S. women's hockey team were expected to attend the ESPYs, the annual awards show honoring the year's biggest athletes, teams and moments in sports.
By Wednesday afternoon, many more of the reigning Olympic gold medalists were swapping jerseys for gowns inside a midtown Manhattan penthouse. Champagne was flowing. Hair and makeup artists buzzed around the room. Defenseman Mariah Keopple, who also works as a stylist, helped teammates put the finishing touches on their looks before they headed to the awards show, airing live Wednesday night from the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City.
It wasn't exactly the typical pregame routine for one of the world's best hockey teams. And none of it would have happened without an unlikely benefactor: Flavor Flav.
The Public Enemy legend learned last week from U.S. captain Hilary Knight that only a handful of players had been invited to the ESPYs, where Team USA is nominated for Best Team following its dramatic gold-medal victory at the 2026 Winter Olympics. For Flavor Flav, the solution was simple: "I got you."
That promise quickly snowballed.

Unlike other blue bloods, Michigan doesn't often reel in high five-star prospects. For every Rashan Gary and Bryce Underwood, there are classes without a single five-star in it that are developed into powerhouse football teams. The class of 2026 is the former, as Michigan brought in two five-stars this offseason in Savion Hiter and Carter Meadows. Meadows has the makings of a star, but will need some time to get ready for Big Ten action.
Meadows hails from Gonzaga High School in Washington D.C., one of the more well-known powerhouse high school programs. In fact, he was high school teammates with fellow Wolverine Kainoa Winston, and Evan Link also attended Gonzaga. In high school, Meadows was 6-foot-6 and 225 pounds. He possesses a frame that NFL scouts tend to drool over out of an edge rusher.
Naturally, a high schooler with elite athleticism and an NFL frame coming from a national powerhouse of a school was bound to get attention nationally. Meadows received offers from just about every major program, with 247Sports listing 29 offers. Carter made four official visits — South Carolina, Penn State, Ohio State and Michigan, in that order.
In typical fashion, Carter's recruitment came down to Michigan and Ohio State. While certain sites may try to convince you the Buckeyes weren't going all in on Meadows, that would be incorrect. Meadows committed to Michigan, as Lou Esposito and company were able to close on Meadows, and Kyle Whittingham and the new staff were able to retain him.
As for his on the field skills, Meadows is about as good as they come for his age. He is an explosive edge with incredible bend and football IQ. He plays smart and is an avid run-defender. Meadows is also advanced for his age when it comes to pass-rushing moves.

Juventus have played the first 180 minutes of a very busy summer friendly schedule. (If only the summer mercato was as busy as the team will be over the next couple of weeks, right? I'll let you decide that for yourself.) And because of a handful of players having staggered returns from their respective post-World Cup breaks and now a few other players having to deal with preseason ailments, Juve manager Luciano Spalletti has had to fill the void with the limited number of in-house options he has.
Or, as we saw over the weekend against Standard Liège, with academy players who might normally only see minutes late in friendlies as the senior players build up their stamina. Spalletti rolled out a starting lineup on Saturday that was full of primavera and Next Gen players — a good opportunity for those same teenagers but also a sign of where this team currently is as players work their way back into the squad.
Some of those youngsters, in no particular order, to appear — and even make a start — in Juventus' first two friendlies of the summer have been:

Rocket Ritarita quickly became a household name in college soccer after a standout freshman campaign last season. Now, the Maryland men's soccer forward will represent his country on the international stage.
Ritarita was selected to the Philippines' 2026 ASEAN Hyundai Cup squad, marking his first tournament appearance with the senior national team.
The 19-year-old's call-up comes months after helping the Terps make a deep postseason run. Ritarita bagged four goals and six ***** ists off the bench throughout the year, including a brace during Maryland's 3-0 NCAA Tournament third round victory. The budding star earned Big Ten All-Freshman team honors.
With the departures of the Terps' starting wingers, Ritarita appears poised for a breakout sophomore season. But his focus remains on leading the Philippines to an ASEAN Hyundai Cup ***** le. That quest begins on July 28 against Myanmar.
Former Maryland women's basketball forward Chloe Bibby earned a spot on Australia's FIBA World Cup team.

Philip's $45,000 household income in Los Angeles is an earnings problem. California's cost of living runs 11% above the national baseline, and average consumer expenditures hit $78,535 in 2024.
At a record 21% APR, carrying medical copays on credit cards makes debt repayment nearly impossible at Philip's current income level.
Ramsey argues Philip moving to full-time work at the national median wage of $1,251 per week would roughly double his household income.
Two retirees, same $1 million, same 4% rule, buy one finished with $1.4 million, the other hit $0 in 12 years. Our free reader guide explains the flaw that separated them, and the income-first method built to avoid it.
On July 23, a caller named Philip told Dave Ramsey he could not stop taking on new debt. He is 49, works part-time as a grocery store courtesy clerk in Southern California, and shares a household income of roughly $40,000 to $45,000 with his wife. The debt was credit cards and routine medical bills, copays, doctor visits, dental care. When asked why he was not working full-time, Philip said, "A lot of emotional stuff, a lot of baggage, a lot of... yeah, I have a long history."

On the latest episode of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart took aim at Donald Trump's rambling speech during the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The president spoke for nearly an hour during the annual event, which was rescheduled for Friday night after a gunman fired shots inside the Washington Hilton in April.
Stewart played a clip of Trump attempting to make a joke during the speech, which drew silence from the audience at the WHCD. "Normally I'd say, 'Don't quit your day job,'" Stewart said. "But in this case I will make an exception."

exas Tech and Colorado may be headed for another Big 12 fight, but the softest moment this week came off the field. Deion Sanders Jr. publicly thanked Joey McGuire for a gesture that stretched back years, long before the Texas Tech coach signed his $51.9 million extension.
"From Cedar Hill to Texas Tech – it's a beautiful thing!" Deion Sanders Jr. posted on X, tagging Joey McGuire. "I asked Coach for help expanding; he told me I could come record at Texas Tech during spring workouts and etc… I never got around to it, but thank you for always looking out for me since I was 14."
Joey McGuire wasn't simply another coach offering a favor to Deion Sanders' oldest son. He has known the Sanders family for well over a decade. Before he arrived in Lubbock, the 54-year-old coach built Cedar Hill High School into one of Texas's powerhouse football programs during a remarkable 14-year run that produced three state championships.
During that stretch, Joey McGuire coached Deion Sanders Jr. as a freshman in 2009 before he transferred schools. The football partnership lasted only one season, but the relationship never disappeared. Today, Bucky is best known as the driving force behind Well Off Media, the behind-the-scenes platform that has become almost inseparable from the Sanders family brand.
It started as a YouTube channel where Deion Sanders Jr. filmed everyday life around his family. Now it's much bigger than that. Well Off Media has grown into a major name in college football content. It's no longer just practice clips and locker-room videos. The company has brought in more editors and videographers, landed a partnership with Nike, and is steadily pushing into bigger projects across the sports world.

The House earlier this week passed legislation that would set new restrictions on stock trading by members of Congress, their spouses and dependent children. It doesn't seem likely to cross beyond the Senate with critics deriding the measure as an inadequate one that contains "loopholes" and unrelated voting restrictions.
The stock trade bill — known as the "Stop Insider Trading Act" — passed on Wednesday in a 232-198 vote with 13 Democrats siding with every House Republican. Democratic senators, though, aren't likely to endorse the legislation since lawmakers won't be compelled to sell off their existing stock portfolio.

While markets data shows that the global market for dining out is projected to grow from $1.9 trillion now to more than $3 trillion by 2030, many individual chains that were popular in another era are struggling to survive amid changing consumer trends.
U.S. chains like Smokey Bones, Peet's Coffee, and Joe's Crab Shack have collectively closed dozens of locations this year. Meanwhile, over in the United Kingdom, Leon and The Real Greek both nearly halved their store locations in 2026 despite once going through a period of rapid expansion that made them well-recognized chains in the country's major cities.
With the first location opening in the Greater London borough of Enfield in 1974, the restaurant chain Beefeater has, over several generations, earned a reputation for being a family-friendly steakhouse chain serving grilled steak cuts, burgers, and fish and chips at more accessible prices.
At its peak, the chain had approximately 140 standalone and Brewers Fayre brewery-attached locations in the United Kingdom and Ireland. But amid soaring operating costs the hotel and dining company Whitbread confirmed plans to shutter all remaining 106 restaurants by September.
Earlier in the year, Whitbread announced a restructuring plan that aims to bring down annual costs down costs by £250 million ($333 million USD).

Job seekers are exhausted. Tired of shooting résumés into the void and getting ghosted, many have started paying for AI tools that blast their application out to every open role they can find. But according to Greenhouse CEO Daniel Chait, employers are just as miserable—and he's got a name for the hiring nightmare: an AI doom loop.
"This is the first time when really both sides have been unhappy," Chait told Fortune. "The market just isn't working for either side."
Job seekers, he says, are "piling more and more job applications into the black hole and not getting any progress." It doesn't matter how many they send—they "just don't get anywhere."
So they've turned to AI tools that make the process less painful. "You can go search on Google, and there are tools that advertise, use AI to automatically apply to every Greenhouse job," the jobs board boss said. "Someone goes and buys that tool, it's like 20 bucks, and now they can just shoot out job applications willy-nilly to as many jobs as they want."
On the other side of the inbox, recruiters are drowning. There are currently 175,000 live jobs on Greenhouse's platform—and on average, for every job ad posted, around 254 job seekers are applying, pushing applications per recruiter up by 412%.

President Donald Trump told a crowd in Michigan that the White House has ordered 250 Cadillac Escalades, the flagship sport utility vehicle in the luxury auto brand's lineup, for his presidential motorcade.
Trump revealed the purchase in a speech delivered at a General Motors testing facility in the Detroit suburb of Milford.
"The one and only Escalade," he said toward the beginning of a roughly one-hour-long address. "You know we ordered, I think, 250 Escalades, right? We ordered 250 Escalades…. We look sharp in those Escalades."
Models pose for a photographer in front of a Cadillac Escalade during a Luxury Car Show in Bucharest May 24, 2007.
The 2026 Escalade has a manufacturer's suggested retail price starting in the low $90,000's, though upgrades take it well north of six figures. Its high-performance V-series runs about $170,000.

Kaitlan Collins is speaking out about President Donald Trump's attack on her at Friday's White House Correspondents' Dinner.
The CNN anchor sat down with Jon Stewart Monday to tape an interview for the Daily Show which will air at 11 p.m. ET Monday night. Status obtained an early transcript, and the Daily Show posted the interview on X. Collins told Stewart she was "not surprised" that Trump went after her.
"I've always felt this, regardless of who's the president, whether it's Joe Biden, Donald Trump — those are the two I've covered — it's really not about me, and I don't want it to be about my reaction," Collins said. "And so I think if you let it become about that, then it becomes a back-and-forth between the two of us."
During an hour-long speech at Friday's dinner, Trump launched a shocking attack on Collins — comparing her to trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney and taking aim at an award she was given earlier in the evening for her coverage of the Trump White House.

President Donald Trump took the podium to roast Hollywood and the media, invoking the rapper while joking about the organization's April gala, which was cut short after a gunman breached security and opened fire.
"After hearing the gunshots, many people yelled, 'Get down!' which caused Nicki Minaj to start twerking," Trump said. "Can you believe it? She's the only one that really understood what that meant."
Minaj has has become one of Trump's most prominent celebrity supporters during his second term after previously criticizing some of his immigration policies during his first administration.

The Atlanta Braves have been involved in countless memorable moments away from the field over the years, but one of the organization's latest public appearances produced an exchange that quickly drew attention well beyond baseball.

New vehicle sales in the Philippines declined by a further 8% to 37,231 units in June 2026, down from 40,483 units in the same month last year, according to member wholesale data released jointly by the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc (CAMPI) and the Truck Manufacturers ***** ociation (TMA).
This was the sixth consecutive month of decline for the market, as economic growth in the country continued to slow. The latest government data show that GDP growth slowed to 2.8% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026, down from 3.7% in the second half of 2025 and 4.4% for the whole of last year. Higher fuel prices resulting from the conflict in the Middle East have added to existing economic pressures, including the fallout from last year's infrastructure corruption scandal.
Despite a sharp drop in household consumption in the first quarter, the central bank has raised its benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points to 4.75% since April, reversing a two-year easing cycle from a peak of 6.5% in mid-2024, to help rein in surging inflation resulting from the recent fuel price hikes.
In the first six months of 2026, the Philippine vehicle market was down by over 11% to 204,557 units, from 230,912 units in the same period last year, with sales of passenger cars and commercial vehicles both falling by over 11% to 40,503 units and 164,054 units, respectively. Sales of electrified vehicles, including battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and hybrids, surged by 132% to 31,351 units in this period, however, as consumers prioritized fuel-efficient vehicles amid rising fuel prices.
The overall market leader, Toyota, reported a 9% sales decline to 100,909 units year-to-date, followed by Mitsubishi with 36,321 units (-17%); Suzuki 9,262 units (-14%); Ford 7,435 units (-32%); and Nissan 6,921 units (-42%).

Earlier this week, Manchester City announced that Phil Foden had extended his contract with the club until the summer of 2030. It is clear that City are backing Foden to return to his dazzling best after two tough and trying seasons for him. New City manager Enzo Maresca is aiming to help Foden on that path and if he succeeds, it will help shape Manchester City into a formidable unit.
When Enzo Maresca faced the media yesterday for the first time as Manchester City manager yesterday, he said that he aiming to help Phil Foden return to his best form. The Italian manager added that it is his duty to do so. Speaking on Phil Foden, Maresca said: "I just want to help Phil to be the Phil we all want. First of all for him because he needs to enjoy football and second because I know how good he is. Phil in a good shape and mood, he can win games."
"Treble season he was fantastic, season after he won Player of the Year. He struggled a little bit, but I told him it's my duty to help him. He's from the house. He's from me. He's a City fan."
A big variable over the 2026-27 season for Manchester City is which Phil Foden they will get. Will the 2023-24 Player of the Season Foden return? The hope is that after a summer of rest this is what occurs. Or will Foden continue to be the inconsistent player he has been over the past two seasons? Foden is too good a player to not be a key player for the FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders. Hopefully the saying that class is permanent and form is temporary rings true for Foden this season.
Enzo Maresca is determined to help Phil Foden find his best once again. Maresca has worked with Foden previously, and that does give Maresca a template to use to guide Foden. He knows what makes Foden tick, and that should aid Maresca in his quest to help the England international. It seems that is what Maresca is determined to do as he explained yesterday.

The director of the country's premier American history museum said she has no regrets about any of the museum's exhibits during her tenure after an expert confronted her with a "shocking" display that he said smeared Founding Father Benjamin Franklin.
Smithsonian National Museum of American History Director Anthea Hartig faced intense questioning from lawmakers during two Capitol Hill hearings this week. The hearings followed a White House Domestic Policy Council report accusing the museum of using taxpayer dollars and its status as a world-renowned institution to advance a "radical activist ideology."
During a House hearing Tuesday, Heritage Foundation expert Mike Gonzalez testified that a multiyear special exhibit, "The Electric Dr. Franklin," included a display that "pondered whether he had ever done experiments, electrical electroshock on indentured servants or slaves."

Generating $180,000 annually requires roughly $5.1M at a conservative 3.5% yield, but only $1.8M at an aggressive 10% yield.
A 3.5% dividend yield growing 8% annually doubles income every 9 years, while high-yield static distributions quietly lose real purchasing power to inflation.
Recalculating your target using actual after-tax spending rather than gross income can reduce the conservative capital requirement by more than $1M.
Two retirees, same $1 million, same 4% rule, buy one finished with $1.4 million, the other hit $0 in 12 years. Our free reader guide explains the flaw that separated them, and the income-first method built to avoid it.
Fifteen thousand dollars a month works out to $180,000 a year. That is roughly the income of a senior software engineer, a mid-career physician, or a dual-earner household in a coastal metro. It is also nearly triple the current U.S. per capita disposable personal income of $68,391 and multiples of the median full-time worker's earnings of $1,251 per week. Replacing it through portfolio yield alone is a large capital problem, and the number moves dramatically depending on the yield you are willing to chase.

July 23 (Reuters) - Oil prices spiked to $100 a barrel on Thursday for the first time since May, while major tech giants knocked U.S. stocks lower and Europe's borrowing costs surged to long-term highs in an unsettling day across markets.
Brent crude settled up 7% at $100.69 a barrel, following attacks on ‌tankers in the Red Sea that choked off a second crucial Middle East artery for global oil supplies, alongside Iran's near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis struck ‌two Saudi oil tankers as part of a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, sending prices higher as the brief cessation of hostilities between Iran and the U.S. receded into the rear-view mirror.
The U.S. military carried out a new round of strikes on Iran, marking a 12th successive night of American attacks, and prompting further Iranian retaliation. The White House has threatened additional attacks on Iranian infrastructure and key locations of its nuclear facilities.
