Lowell High School's championship varsity baseball team will be forced to forfeit three future games against city rivals while its entire coaching staff has been removed, district officials announced Monday while releasing the results of investigations into a racially charged incident last spring.
"The school will find an interim coach for this season and conduct a search for a permanent coach for next season," officials said.
School administrators advised Lowell baseball parents and players of the decisions in a virtual meeting scheduled for early evening.
"We want to emphasize that there is no place for racism, discrimination, or racialized harm in the Lowell community or anywhere in SFUSD," district officials said in a statement obtained by the Chronicle prior to the meeting. "We encourage anyone who has experienced or witnessed racialized harm that has gone unaddressed to report it to school officials so that concerns can be appropriately addressed."
While the officials did not release specific information about the investigation, sources inside the Lowell community told the Chronicle in May that it appeared to be connected to alleged race-based taunting by Lowell's varsity players during a junior varsity game against Lincoln High at which the varsity coaches were present.

The college football season got underway Saturday for what could be the sport's final Week 0. One of the teams that kicked things off was the historic USC Trojans.
However, something was noticeably off, and it was even apparent during the broadcast. Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum looked remarkably empty as USC opened the season against San Jose State. The lack of attendance drew so much attention that the school eventually released a statement addressing the issue.
"We understand the factors that impacted Saturday's attendance," USC said via USA TODAY Sports. "We have high expectations and a premier home schedule this season, and we know the competitive advantage an electric Coliseum atmosphere can provide our program. We thank our fans who showed up Saturday and look forward to seeing increased attendance the rest of the season."
MORE: Is USC's terrible Week 0 attendance a big deal?
The Trojans officially announced an attendance of 51,144 for the game, their lowest figure under head coach Lincoln Riley and their lowest since 2018. However, the stadium appeared to have significantly fewer fans in attendance, creating an embarrassing visual for one of college football's most recognizable programs.

Now-former Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Patrick Herbert is reportedly joining his brother Justin Herbert with the LA Chargers.
During cutdown day on Sunday, the Jaguars waived Patrick. According to Mike Garafolo, he has opted to sign with the Chargers' practice squad after clearing waivers.
Garafolo adds that Patrick had multiple offers, but chose to join Justin in LA.
The Jaguars signed Patrick after the 2025 NFL draft as an undrafted free agent. He spent his rookie season on the practice squad and remained with Jacksonville throughout this offseason.
The Jaguars heavily addressed the tight end position this offseason, selecting Nate Boerkircher and Tanner Koziol in the draft. Those two, along with Brenton Strange and Quintin Morris, make up the tight end room on the 53-man roster.

Kenneth Lonergan has taken a firm stand for Mark Ruffalo amid antisemitism accusations tied to his Israel-Gaza remarks. The Oscar-winning filmmaker and longtime friend of Ruffalo addressed the allegations in a letter to The Hollywood Reporter. He called the antisemitism accusation against Ruffalo "overtly preposterous" and said it was being used to silence his criticism of Israel.
Ruffalo's latest controversy followed his criticism of Oracle founder Larry Ellison and the company's reported ties to Israeli military technology. He also faced backlash from Paramount Skydance after criticizing the proposed Warner Bros. Discovery merger. The company accused him of using antisemitic tropes, but Ruffalo denied it and said he was criticizing political and corporate actions.
Lonergan's relationship with Ruffalo dates back to You Can Count on Me, his 2000 directorial debut starring Laura Linney and Ruffalo. The film was widely praised and marked the beginning of their friendship, which has continued for decades.
Their long friendship led Lonergan to publicly defend the actor. In his letter, he referred to Ruffalo as his "dear friend for thirty years." Lonergan called the antisemitism accusation "a cynical and disgusting lie" and questioned the motives behind it. He wants the Simon Wiesenthal Center to review its response and clarify where it detects any antisemitism.
Lonergan said that attacking Ruffalo personally helps critics avoid addressing his actual arguments. He also acknowledged that he "disagrees profoundly with many of his positions on the Middle East, Israel, Gaza, and Iran's constellation of fanatical Islamic fundamentalist proxies." However, Lonergan said people can disagree with Ruffalo's views without labeling his criticism of Israel as antisemitic.

A cancer diagnosis is never something anyone is ready for, but when it happens, the effects can go well beyond the physical and emotional traumas that turn lives upside down.
There are financial aspects that, if not addressed, can affect quality of life and even survival rates. Having a financial planner in their corner can help patients organize, ensure they're getting the most from their benefits and prepare as much as possible for whatever comes next. "With cancer, you get diagnosed, and then there is this few-week window before they start treatment," said Dr. Carolyn McClanahan, a physician and financial planner. That's a critical time for putting a plan in place, as "once you start treatment, it can be a drain on your physical and mental health."
The National Cancer Institute has a term for devastating financial consequences resulting from the high costs of medical care patients and their families face: financial toxicity. While it's inherently financial in nature, the stress it causes has real medical implications. That makes financial planning incredibly important, especially for those struggling with the high costs of care:
A pilot study of 107 patients being treated for blood cancers found that comprehensive planning resulted in higher mental and physical quality of life, among those experiencing financial toxicity.

The SEC hopes to grab the Tigers by the tail.
Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports reports that the conference is exploring various ways to address LSU's plan to add former NFL players to its team, including "extreme measures."
The possibilities reportedly include boycotting competition against the school, probation, or expulsion. The SEC also is considering filing a federal lawsuit on the issue.
It was a federal lawsuit against Texas Tech from the Big 12 that prompted the Red Raiders to abandon the plan to allow quarterback Brendan Sorsby to play this year, after he won an injunction against the NCAA's gambling suspension.
No decision is expected before Thursday's hearing on whether the pending TRO will become a preliminary injunction.

WNBA star Angel Reese addressed online critics head-on after facing backlash over swimsuit selfies posted to her social media. Refusing to apologize or change her personal brand, Reese pushed back against public commentary about how female athletes choose to present themselves outside of basketball.
Reese defended her right to share lifestyle content without facing unwanted ******* ual attention. She also said fame can make people forget that she is still a young woman dealing with the pressure of public life.
The comments came on "Unapologetically Angel," the podcast Reese hosts with co-host Maya Reese. The conversation started after co-host Maya Reese asked Angel for her take on people in the media and online who treat her confidence in her body as justification for ******* ualizing her.
Reese said she simply does not accept that logic. "I don't know what that means because I'm a beautiful woman, I've been posting pictures in my bikinis, I got a nice body, and I work hard for it," Reese said. "If I want to post a picture of my bikini, I should be able to without being ******* ualized where I'm saying I'm asking for it."

The legal feud between the SEC and LSU may soon escalate to historic levels.
High-ranking SEC university executives are exploring legal and internal avenues intended to address the school's plans to add former professional athletes to its rosters, including extreme measures such as boycotting competition against the Tigers, sanctioning the school with probation or even expulsion, and/or filing a federal legal challenge.
Multiple sources with knowledge of the conversations spoke to Yahoo Sports under condition of anonymity. An SEC spokesperson declined comment. An LSU spokesperson also declined comment.
The conversations, primarily among SEC school general counsels and university presidents, are considered in the early stages. The talks are described as "not league driven, but membership led." While these discussions are serious in nature, it is unclear as to what avenues the conference or its members will ultimately pursue.
It is unlikely that the league or its member schools make a formal decision on a path forward before a Thursday hearing in Baton Rouge, where a judge is expected to hear arguments in the Louisiana eligibility case that opened the door for these professional athletes to return to college.

DeSoto (Texas) football was on the wrong end of a 38-14 beatdown on Saturday to open its 2026 season. The Eagles traveled to Florida for a top-25 national tilt against St. Thomas Aquinas (Fla.) in the Broward County Classic High School Football Showcase.
The matchup already carried plenty of juice as it pitted one of Texas' top programs against one of Florida's. DeSoto, however added some fuel to the fire once the teams met at midfield before kickoff in Fort Lauderdale.
$19.99 gets you a FULL year of On3 | Rivals national coverage
St. Thomas Aquinas players went to shake the hands of the visitors, but they wanted no part, stonewalling the Raiders for a few seconds before each team made their way back to their respective sidelines.
That clearly fired up the home team, who went on to win by 24 points. On Monday afternoon, two days after the lopsided loss, DeSoto's team social media took to X to address the pregame incident and apologize to St. Thomas Aquinas:

New Cleveland Cavaliers forward Peyton Watson reportedly chose not to return for the 2026 Playoffs with the Denver Nuggets to protect himself for free agency.
Watson's agent Rich Paul has already confirmed that Watson was being carefully managed at the end of a contract year in which he had suffered multiple injuries throughout the season.
After Nuggets fans criticised Watson for sitting out while teammates like Aaron Gordon played through injuries, the 23-year-old forward has finally addressed the truth of the situation.
Watson appeared on former Nuggets teammate Michael Porter Jr.'s podcast to discuss the end of his tenure in Denver, revealing the late-season injury process that ultimately kept him out of the playoffs.
"It was really tough. When I got injured in New York, it was a sickening feeling. I was up for Most Improved and a lot of other stuff. Two or three weeks into my rehab, I felt like they were ramping me up too quickly."

The Washington Commanders released 34 players over the weekend to come up with their initial 53-man roster for the 2026 season.
However, it was perhaps the moves Washington didn't make that drew its fans' ire. Sunday was busy across the NFL with every team trimming its rosters from 90 to 53 players. Several teams made trades, including three teams looking for interior offensive line depth. That's particularly interesting, considering the Commanders' need at center behind projected starter Nick Allegretti.
Washington doesn't even know if Allegretti will be a quality center. He's mostly played guard in his NFL career. He also missed almost all of training camp. Many fans were upset that GM Adam Peters didn't address the position earlier in the offseason, and many were confused by Sunday's inactivity.
Commanders fans were mostly concerned about the offensive line and cornerback after the initial roster was finalized Sunday night. How concerned? Let's head over to X — formerly Twitter — to see some of the best reactions.
Here are 10 thoughts on the Commanders' initial 53-man roster:
1) It's obvious that Fabian Moreau is going to be back on the team as soon as Trey Amos hits IR. WSH only has three healthy CB's on the 53 until Moreau is brought back, but he's vested and doesn't need to clear…

Aaron Donald has returned from retirement after three years away for the 2026 NFL season with the Los Angeles Rams.
The Rams are making their push for a Super Bowl even stronger after successfully convincing Donald to return to the sport on a one-year, $20 million contract for another ring.
While the Rams will have Myles Garrett as their primary defensive star, Donald is a three-time DPOY who rejoins as a secondary defensive option behind the reigning DPOY. It's going to be a fun year for them.
After the news of Donald's return was confirmed, Erica Donald took to X and addressed the fans by joking about finally letting her husband back out of the house again.
"I let him out of the house, y'all."

Jaylen Brown said goodbye to his old fans of the Boston Celtics at a fan festival in Boston where he was honored by supporters.
Brown spent 10 dedicated seasons wearing Celtics green and was the star who won Finals MVP when it came to delivering them their first championship since 2008.
He was traded away and never had a chance to betray the fanbase, so he was given a hero's goodbye at a recent fan festival which also had Mayor Jennifer Wu in attendance.
Brown took the stage at the 741 Frequency Fest in Boston and addressed the fans, sharing his love with them and thanking them for their support over the last decade.
"I —— love y'all man. Listen up, I ain't got too much to say because I am at a loss for words… I love each and everyone one of y'all. I have been in this city for the last 10 years, and I said 'I'm gonna go to war for this city' when I got here… I just wanna say thank you to Boston. Thank you to the city. And I love you."

Back in March, the Green Bay Packers got a little creative with addressing one of their more notable roster needs. With the 2026 NFL Draft looming and linebacker high on their priority list, Green Bay traded interior defensive lineman Colby Wooden to the Indianapolis Colts for linebacker Zaire Franklin.
The trade allowed the Packers to focus on other positional needs in the NFL Draft while also giving them a former Pro Bowl linebacker to pair with Edgerrin Cooper. Meanwhile, the Colts added a former fourth-round pick who had a career-high 50 tackles in 17 games played in 2025 (16 starts).
Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Colby Wooden (96) practices during the teams minicamp Thursday, June 11, 2026, at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center in Indianapolis.
In addition to giving Green Bay a Pro Bowl-caliber linebacker, the trade reunited Franklin with current Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, who was with the Colts early in his career. Obviously, he made the initial 53-man roster and is projected to be a starter in Green Bay.
Wooden, on the other hand, was released by Indianapolis on Sunday. CBS Sports declared it one of the most surprising cuts of the day while declaring the Green Bay the winner of the trade before the season even begins:

BOSTON — Thousands turned out on Sunday afternoon in Boston to bid farewell to former Boston Celtics star and new Philadelphia 76er, Jaylen Brown.
The 741 Frequency Fest took over a corner of Boston Common on Sunday as fans packed the barricades around the stage at least 15 rows deep to see Brown out in the community he spent so much time becoming a part of one more time. Brown was traded to Philadelphia on July 1.
"I'm at a loss for words," Brown said when he first addressed the crowd. "When I came to this city, I said I was going to go to war for this city. I met so many great people here, people that helped me in the community and motivated me on my journey. People who supported me when even I didn't support myself at times. I just want to say thank you to Boston, thank you to the city, and I love you."

Dave Hanna was there when it all began.
He'd just started his senior year at BYU in the fall of 1972, helping defray the costs of higher education by working for Dave Schultess in the sports information office, when an unproven ***** istant named LaVell Edwards took over as the Cougars' head football coach.
Up close and personal, Dave watched Edwards' inaugural season and then, after being accepted into graduate school, the next two seasons as well. His job with the SID department was to go to the BYU locker room after games to gather quotes for the media.
Thus he was there in the locker room at the old Cougar Stadium (capacity 30,000) on Nov. 9, 1974, after BYU defeated 16th-ranked Arizona State 21-18 — one of the biggest wins, if not the biggest, to that point in the Cougars' rather meager football history.
He was gathering quotes when LaVell walked in and started addressing the players … and then stopped. The coach was unable to continue because emotion overtook him. All he could do as he struggled without success to gain composure was give the team a thumbs-up and stand down.

Thus he was there in the locker room at the old Cougar Stadium (capacity 30,000) on Nov. 9, 1974, after BYU defeated 16th-ranked Arizona State 21-18 — one of the biggest wins, if not the biggest, to that point in the Cougars' rather meager football history.
He was gathering quotes when LaVell walked in and started addressing the players … and then stopped. The coach was unable to continue because emotion overtook him. All he could do as he struggled without success to gain composure was give the team a thumbs-up and stand down.

Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, apologized to the state's Jewish Democratic Caucus on Saturday for comments he made after an attack on a synagogue in March, which he tied to Israel's actions in the Middle East.
"My comments may have been misconstrued to justify something I did not mean to justify," El-Sayed told reporters after he addressed the caucus at a party convention in Lansing. "To anyone who feels like my comments might have been hurtful, I'm really sorry. That was not my intention."
El-Sayed's apology was his latest attempt to unify Democrats after a bitter primary where he defeated U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens. He's eager to push past a series of controversies involving allegations of antisemitism, including his ****** ociation with controversial commentator Hasan Piker. He faces Republican nominee Mike Rogers in a race that will help determine control of the Senate.
In March, a man attacked Temple Israel synagogue in a Detroit suburb, ramming his car into the building and opening fire on a security guard before dying by suicide. The man, Ayman Mohammad Ghazali, had lost four relatives in an Israeli airstrike on Lebanon the week prior.
In a video response at the time, El-Sayed condemned the attack and added that "hurt people hurt people," a reference to what happened to Ghazali's family. Critics accused El-Sayed of justifying Ghazali's actions.

Usman Nurmagomedov is never going to apologize for caring about his brother's well-being, but that doesn't mean he was trying to attack his opponent at UFC Shanghai.
Song Yadong scored the biggest win of his career on Saturday when he blasted Umar Nurmagomedov with a perfectly timed uppercut that sent the Russian crashing to the canvas to end the fight. Immediately after the fight was stopped, Usman jumped into the cage to check on his brother and Song ended up colliding with him as he ran around the cage to celebrate his victory.
The brief physical altercation led many to speculate that Usman actually tried hitting Song with an elbow strike after running into each other, but the reigning PFL lightweight champion was quick to deny that allegation while addressing the incident on social media.
"People are making such a huge tragedy out of this, they should just calm down," Nurmagomedov wrote on Instagram (Russian-to-English translation via Red Corner MMA). "There are things far worse. You don't have to think for long, just look at what is happening in the world.
"And regarding the claims that I supposedly wanted to hit his opponent, if I had wanted to, I would have hit him."

Coastal Florida's insurance surge, flood repricing under Risk Rating 2.0, and post-Surfside condo ***** sments now erase the state's income-tax advantage for retirees.
Tennessee's cost of living index of 92 beats Florida's 103, and the state taxes zero retirement income including Social Security, pensions, and dividends.
A retired Knoxville couple targeting $75,000 a year needs a portfolio of $800,000 to $1.1 million to sustain their plan.

Ask a room full of near-retirees where they see themselves in five years, and half of them will name a Gulf Coast zip code. Naples, Sarasota, Fort Myers, Punta Gorda. The real question is whether the fixed costs attached to a coastal Florida address leave the rest of the retirement plan intact a decade later. This piece runs the same retirement budget through a specific alternative, defends the pick using the same cost categories, and shows what actually changes when you shift the location.

INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts have already addressed the team's glaring need for an experienced backup center behind Tanor Bortolini.
Indianapolis has traded a 2027 sixth-rounder to Buffalo to get Sedrick Van Pran-Granger and a 2027 seventh-round pick.
Van Pran-Granger, a 2024 fifth-round pick out of Georgia, has spent the last two seasons as Buffalo's backup center, making one start in each of the 2024 and 2025 seasons.

Indianapolis had to do something to address the backup center position. The Colts are set with a rising young star, Tanor Bortolini, in the middle, but Indianapolis lost former backup Danny Pinter to a starting opportunity in Baltimore this offseason.

Last week, Denver Broncos head coach went scorched earth on FS1's Geoff Schwartz for his Bo Nix take on First Things First. After a few days of reflection, Payton addressed the situation once and for all after the Broncos' final preseason game, a win over the Minnesota Vikings on Friday night.
"That was crazy, wasn't it?" Payton said of the viral exchange. "I can't help myself, though. When I see something like that, I'm sorry. It's just, I have a pause and then it's like, 'What are you watching?' Just watch the tape."
Payton defended Nix once again, something he has found himself doing often since first drafting Nix in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft. "Everything was the opposite of what he was saying and the worst part was he played at Oregon," Payton said of Schwartz.
Payton compared Schwartz's take with the first time he ever saw former Vikings stars Percy Harvin and Adrian Peterson: It's completely different to see a player in-person than it is to watch a player on tape from the comfort of your home. Payton took one last shot at Schwartz in his post-game remarks. "You've got the basement podcast with the beer logo and I just couldn't help myself with that one," Payton said. "It was silly."
You can see Payton's full comments on the situation below.

Interested in Qnity Electronics, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better.
AI, advanced packaging and thermal management are Qnity Electronics' primary growth drivers. The company says its advanced-packaging business could double over the next several years, while thermal-management demand is growing even faster.
Qnity is expanding clean-room and manufacturing capacity in Delaware and Taiwan to address semiconductor-materials demand, particularly in advanced logic, HBM and DRAM. Node migration toward 2-nanometer and gate-all-around designs is also increasing materials intensity and benefiting its CMP business.
The company targets margin expansion through higher-value products and a transformation program expected to generate about $100 million in EBITDA benefits over several years. Capital priorities include organic capacity and R&D investment, selective bolt-on acquisitions and share repurchases mainly to offset dilution.

California's "monumental problem" with rampant fraud is about to get significantly worse, according to Republican state ******* emblyman Carl DeMaio, after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill that he warns will crack down on people investigating scammers.
Officially ******* led "Privacy for immigration support services providers," the new law creates privacy protections for immigration support service providers, employees and volunteers, including shielding their addresses and imposing penalties on those who publish their images on social media. DeMaio told Fox News Digital the bill amounts to criminalizing investigative journalism and works to "silence citizen journalists and shield taxpayer-funded organizations from public scrutiny."
"What does the Stop Nick Shirley Act do? It basically makes it illegal for a citizen journalist to document fraud of taxpayer money and post that on the internet in the form of an internet video," he said.
Newsom signed the bill into law last week, and it is set to take effect Oct. 1. DeMaio told Fox News Digital that he and a "coalition of civil liberty protectors" are prepared to file a lawsuit challenging the law.

Playing "winning football" sounds vague on the surface, and heading into Mike Elko's third season at the helm, it's clear that the program is in the right direction, but back-to-back losses to Texas and Miami in the first round of the College Football Playoff were the antithesis of what we saw throughout the 2025 season.
This starts and ends with redshirt junior quarterback Marcel Reed, who threw four of his career-high twelve interceptions in both losses while seemingly playing with less confidence compared to his past performances, resulting in poor decision-making; former OC Collin Klein's decision to use fewer RPO looks and keep Reed in the pocket also deserves some blame.
Under first-year offensive coordinator Holmon Wiggins, the expectation is that Marcel Reed will return to utilizing his dual-threat skill set more often, getting outside the pocket, especially on play action where he has thrived since becoming the full-time starter. Equipped with one of the best wide receiver rooms in the country, Reed's improvement this preseason should lead to another jump in consistent play.
However, the defense allowed nearly 400 rushing yards against Texas and Miami last season, a huge contributing factor in both losses that wasn't based on personnel, aside from a lack of size at linebacker, which has been addressed this offseason.
During Thursday's press conference, Mike Elko said taking another step toward making "winning plays" in key moments has been a clear focus, starting with finishing strong every practice, while his team's mental makeup will be tested throughout the nine-game SEC schedule.

Tua Tagovailoa returned to Miami Gardens with his new team Atlanta Falcons after spending six years here. Every return is special, but Tagovailoa's return certainly wasn't taken well by the home fans.
After playing for Miami Dolphins for over half a decade, this was the first time he had played against the home team in Miami Gardens. As fans booed him loudly, he didn't pretend to not notice it, rather opened up about it after the game.
Despite spending years in Miami as the franchise quarterback, fans in attendance expressed their frustration. Many Dolphins supporters still felt let down by the team's lack of playoff success during his tenure as they achieved just one postseason appearance, alongside his turnovers and injury concerns toward the end of his run.

Despite the hostile reception, Tagovailoa took a reflective approach after the game. Addressing reporters, he acknowledged hearing the crowd but reiterated his lasting appreciation for the city and the team.
