DETROIT — The Detroit Pistons had an outstanding 2025-26 season, marking their best campaign in nearly 20 years. They won 60 regular-season games and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals for the first time since 2008.
The Pistons' success last season prompted a major roster overhaul to improve the team's mediocre offense with better floor ***** ing and 3-point shooting. This led to the departures of Tobias Harris, Caris LeVert, Marcus Sasser and Isaiah Stewart — four players who, in various ways, were crucial to the Pistons' impressive 60-win season.
With coach J.B. Bickerstaff returning for his third season, the Pistons are entering the 2026-27 campaign with lofty expectations. Here's a player-by-player breakdown of the roster.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Yandy Díaz has sparked the Tampa Bay Rays to the verge of their first World Series trip since 2020.
Díaz had three hits, including a double, and scored the first run in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians that gave the Rays 3-2 lead in the AL Championship Series.
Díaz has hits in seven of eight postseason games and is batting .314 with four doubles, a home run and an .847 OPS as the Rays' leadoff hitter.
"I'm probably a little biased, but Yandy is one of my favorite players to watch," Rays closer Bryan Baker said. "When he gets going, we're a different team with the way he works at-bats."
Game 6 is Monday at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, where the Rays are 58-27 during the regular season and playoffs. A potential Game 7 would be Tuesday in the same stadium.

Capital One (COF) paid $390M for failing to flag money laundering, then faced suit for closing Trump-linked accounts; JPMorgan (JPM) faces a similar lawsuit.
Fewer than 1% of over 8,000 CFPB debanking complaints alleged political bias, yet federal programs like Operation Choke Point cut off entire industries.
FinCEN withdrew two proposed crypto reporting rules, but compliance teams will stay cautious until courts rule on banks' right to close any account freely.

American banks are caught between two kinds of punishment. If they miss dirty money, regulators fine them. If they flag it and close the account, they get sued for debanking. Capital One (NYSE:COF) has paid on both sides, and its record shows which way the pressure is moving.

The issue of Daniel Penny, the center of a New York City vigilante case in which he unintentionally ended the life of Jordan Neely following a subway confrontation, is the focus of a new book. Frequent MS NOW guest Anand Giridharadas is out promoting his work, Man in the Mirror.
His interviews seen during the media promotional tour do not give the impression of an unbiased approach to this topic. Instead of describing core facts and the details that pertain to the confrontation on the New York subway car, Giridharadas delivers what sounds more like a college term paper-level of pontificating.
Sitting with Christiane Amanpour, the Heat Miser-coiffed Anand offers up a theory that Neely, Penny, and others on the subway car were experiencing something that is felt across the country:
Jordan Neely, you know, a mentally ill, homeless man, felt abandoned by the systems of care. Daniel Penny felt abandoned by a lack of police and a lack of law enforcement that forced him, in his mind, to step up and step in. The passengers on that train…spoke of their own sense of abandonment and kind of being left to their own devices. And, Christiane, I think that sense of abandonment, that sense that the cavalry's not coming, the sense that we're on our own, the sense that maybe somebody does something because no one who should be doing anything is doing anything. I believe, Christiane, that is the defining political emotion of this age. It is maybe the most dangerous emotion in a democracy, because it starts to tempt people with the thought that if ******* ody's coming, I must fill the void. In this case, it was Daniel Penny filling a void in a subway in New York.
This is the selling of the concept that we need government in more, if not all, aspects of our lives. If Jordan Neely had been given proper mental healthcare and housing, if there had been police on that train car, if Daniel Penny had not felt abandoned by authorities, this tragedy would not have played out. If every person in the country is cared for by the government, we will have no problems!

CBK meet HRB. While in Paris for the Spring/Summer 2027 shows, Hailey Bieber celebrated fashion week with a piece of fashion history—stepping out in one of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's most-recognizable looks.
Sourced by London-based curator My Runway Archive and styled by Dani Michelle, the white midi dress seen on Bieber was first worn by her It girl predecessor during her rehearsal dinner with John F. Kennedy Jr. And while it's typically Bessette-Kennedy's minimalist bias-cut silk slip wedding dress that gets all the recognition, this backless number was a quieter star of the weekend—with its sleeveless silhouette, low V neckline, and shimmering transparent fabric.
The piece (see here) was designed by CBK's longtime friend and collaborator, Narciso Rodriguez, for his Spring/Summer 1997 collection for Cerruti. The house's then-creative director first met his muse while they were both working at Calvin Klein—him as a designer, her as a publicist—and went on to design several of her most-beloved looks, including the aforementioned wedding dress, which helped kick-start his solo career.
In fact, their creative relationship was so central to Bessette-Kennedy's story that Ryan Murphy gave it ample air time on Love Story, even dreaming up a dramatized sequence in which the two had to frantically sew her into the dress last minute, which Rodriguez has since clarified was a fictional addition.

There's no denying that Hailey Bieber's sartorial agenda is infused with 90s style codes. Beyond reinterpreting the decade's classic silhouettes, she frequently dives into the fashion archives to resurrect genuine vintage gems.
For a party at the private Harry's Bar in Mayfair, London, on September 28, Hailey slipped into a Cerruti by Narciso Rodriguez spring/summer 1997 dress sourced from My Runway Archive. The champagne-hued midi dress is adorned with crystal embellishments and features a bias-cut with a plunging neckline, sleeveless design, and a figure-hugging silhouette.
The garment is the same dress that Carolyn Bessette Kennedy wore to her wedding rehearsal dinner in 1996. Carolyn first met the designer in 1990, when they worked together at Calvin Klein, and soon after enlisted Narciso to craft her wedding dress. The pearlescent silk crepe wedding gown was worn on September 21, 1996, when Carolyn married John F. Kennedy Jr.

The celebration was held at the Greyfield Inn on ***** berland Island, Georgia. Carolyn's blonde locks were swept back into a simple bun.

Chicago White Sox amateur scouting director Mike Shirley resigned on Saturday in the wake of an internal investigation into verbal harassment allegations, according to The Athletic.
Shirley was reportedly placed on administrative leave after the White Sox received an anonymous tip about his conduct at last month's Area Code Games in Long Beach, California. He was alleged to have made racial and ****** ist comments both about coworkers and in front of coworkers.
The White Sox human resources department reportedly launched an investigation into Shirley, interviewing members of his scouting department. It remains unclear what findings the investigation made.
This reportedly wasn't the first time Shirley faced an internal investigation over his behavior. In 2022, he was investigated after a former employee left the club and flagged his behavior toward scouts from underrpresented groups. The tip was made to MLB and later passed on to the White Sox, whose investigation did not find any bias in his hiring practices or behavior.
This latest investigation reportedly included allegations of vulgar language about women and their bodies.

The Men's First Team are in Serie A action on the road on Sunday, 13 September, travelling to Emilia-Romagna to take on Sassuolo on Matchday 4.
Ahead of the game, coach Luciano Spalletti gave his traditional MD-1 press conference.
"We'll start by saying that we're sorry about what happened to [Manuel] Locatelli. His absence, though, spreads responsibility across everyone because he's always attentive to everything. This week I've seen a team that's very willing to fight against whatever it comes up against, a team that's trained very well.
"Because of the individual pressure players carry now, there's much more freedom on the pitch, so we've used different systems. Nothing changes without Locatelli in that sense. We can use any system because we have a squad that allows us to do that.
"[Weston] McKennie and [Andrea] Cambiaso are unlikely to be there tomorrow. Andrea will do a fitness test tomorrow morning. But [Pape Matar] Sarr will be available.

Former Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden picked Cincinnati to beat Tampa Bay in Week 1, prompting brother Jon Gruden to accuse him of bias.
During a segment posted by Jon Gruden on X, the brothers went back and forth over Sunday's matchup.
Jon highlighted several of Tampa Bay's young defenders, including Josiah Trotter, Keionte Scott and Rueben Bain Jr., before Jay identified a weakness he believes Cincinnati can exploit.
"You got no corners. I'm taking the Bengals," Jay said.
It's Week 1 and we already have a little bias from my brother... give me Tampa to beat the Bengals!!

Today is the day of the first on-ice activity for the Colorado Avalanche in the 2026-27 season. A group of 25 rookies are gathering at Family Sports Center at 9:00 a.m. for a one-day practice before they head off to San Jose, Calif. for the annual rookie tournament.
Late last week the roster was announced which features almost as many defensemen (8) as forwards (13). The only two players with NHL experience expected to attend are forwards Nikita Prishchepov and Taylor Makar, though several others on this list could see their NHL debut soon. All eyes will be on goaltender Ilya Nabokov and forward TJ Hughes who might even make an impact on the Avalanche this year.
It's nice to see five of the nine members of the 2026 Avalanche draft class in attendance including including forwards Beckett Hamilton and Shawn Carrier, defenseman Ondrej Ruml and goaltenders Alexandre Raymond and Tobias Tvrznik,
Those prospects playing in the NCAA or Europe this season are not listed and were not expected to attend rookie camp or Avalanche training camp. However, it is curious the class headliner, 43rd overall Egor Shilov is missing especially since he has chosen to spend one more year in the QMJHL with Victoriaville. But, there is a clue from those who cover the Canadian junior leagues that ongoing visa issues are to blame.

What's a birthday party without confetti and a few tears? There were certainly both at Coach's Spring 2027 show, at which the brand celebrated its 85th anniversary. But while eight and a half decades in business is a pretty big deal, creative director Stuart Vevers wasn't interested in a mere anniversary spectacle rehashing the label's greatest hits. Instead, he used the milestone as a chance to revisit the pieces and ideas that have come to define Coach by pulling them apart (quite literally in some cases—see the Inside-Out Brooklyn Tote) and putting them back together in ways that felt totally fresh.
"I didn't want to make a retrospective," Vevers said in a press release, explaining that his latest collection is centered around the concept of memory, and the way familiar things change and evolve as we live with them. After 85 years, Coach has plenty of history to draw from, but Vevers isn't interested in preserving it with museum-level precision. He'd rather draw straight from the source material and turn it into something simultaneously familiar and brand new.
To that end, the show opened with hallmark Coach silhouettes rendered in cool neutrals: oversized trench coats, tailored jackets, structured leather bags, and chunky pendants, all in shades of dove gray, black, white, soft brown, and natural leather. Some of the tailoring was made from garment-dyed, sun-faded jersey, which gave a blazer or trench coat's shape a hoodie-like softness. It was a clever way of presenting Coach's heritage in a manner that felt lived-in rather than preserved behind glass, as if these brand signatures had been worn, washed, and loved over the course of many years. Meanwhile, bias-cut dresses and skirts came in everything from repurposed lining fabrics and overdyed georgette to denim and lamé, adding another layer of innovation to the line-up.

Midway through the show, the parade of earth tones gave way to something much brighter and bolder. Models took to the catwalk in head-to-toe sequin dresses and maxi-skirt sets in powder pink, periwinkle, mint, and metallics. Alongside them came gift boxes reimagined as purses, leather birthday hats, and crowns, pushing the subtle anniversary theme into a full-blown party motif.

Erika Kirk needs to take time away from her role as CEO of Turning Point USA to "work on healing," according to her "dear friend" Megyn Kelly.
Charlie Kirk, 31, was **** assinated while speaking at the first stop of his American Comeback Tour one year ago on September 10, 2025. After his death, his widow became CEO and board chair at the conservative organization.
Appearing on the Thursday, September 10, episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, Kelly, 55, was asked by the host why she believes Erika, 37, has become a lightning rod for criticism over the past year.
"I come to this with a bias because I love Erika," Kelly replied. "I consider her a dear friend and I hate to see her suffer. It's been very painful to watch her suffer this year."
"The overwhelming suffering has been caused by Charlie's murder and not by the internet nonsense, but that's been an added burden on her. There's no question, I don't like it," the former Today show host continued. "I wish it weren't happening. I wish people would move on and just see the evidence that's there. But I think part of the reason this is happening is because Erika stayed in the public eye as the CEO of Turning Point, therefore, in some ways, criticism of her is fair game."

Juventus had won their first two games of the season, but it would be entirely fair to say that they had come close to leaving those matches ruing missed opportunities. Each of them could've been put away long time before they were, and indeed one of the major talking points headed into Sunday's matchup against AC Milan was the fact that the Bianconeri had gotten the results without reaching the level of performance they desired. Milan were in the same boat, winning two straight under new manager Ruben Amorim but not convincing in either. It felt as though the team that managed to perform better would be the likelier to come out of the Allianz on top.
It was ultimately Juve that had the better of a game that was equal parts chaotic and sloppy. But once again they failed to take advantage of their performances. They failed to make the most of the chances they made over the game's first 70 minutes before Milan scored on — stop me if you've heard this one before — their first shot on target of the match. It took until the second minute of stoppage time for Juve to finally even things out, when Federico Gatti powered home a Teun Koopmeiners cross from six yards to earn the Old Lady a 1-1 draw.
The problems for Juventus were the same as we've talked about all season so far. The finishing wasn't nearly good enough, the passing was disjointed and often inaccurate, and overall creativity seemed to be lacking. But in spite of all of that, they can honestly say that they were the better of the two sides and deserved victory — even more so when you consider the fact that Milan's goal really should've been disallowed for a foul in the buildup that was never flagged by VAR. Considering they were missing seven players due to injury, several of whom were extremely important, it's far too early to start abandoning hope of a successful year—provided they make the improvements that their play so far suggest is possible.
Luciano Spalletti was missing Kenan Yildiz, Weston McKennie, Khéphren Thuram, Andrea Cambiaso, Jeff Ekhator, Juan Cabal, and Pape Matar Sarr. His 4-2-3-1 formation gave several players their first starts of the year. Guglielmo Vicario started behind the back four of Pierre Kalulu, Bremer, Jhon Lucumí, and Zeki Celik. Manuel Locatelli and Douglas Luiz started in the middle of the park, while Francisco Conceição joined Nico González and Kerim Alajbegovic behind Randal Kolo Muani in attack.
Amorim missed Matteo Gabbia due to an ankle injury, but returned a few players to the starting lineup who had been eased back into things after long World Cup runs. Mike Maignan started in goal, ahead of a 3-4-2-1 setup that was a slight tweak to Amorim's usual 3-4-3. Former Juve prospect Koni De Winter joined Strahinja Pavolovic and Mario Gila in defense. Big-money signing Diego Moreira got his first start of the season opposite Pervis Estupiñán at the wing-back spots, while Luka Modric and Yunis Musah manned the double pivot. Adrien Rabiot joined Alexis Saele

Luciano Spalletti will likely look to Jeremie Boga, Nico Gonzalez and Francisco Conceiçao behind Randal Kolo Muani in the Juventus attack, while Diego Moreira is tipped to start his first Milan game.
It kicks off at 20:45 CET [19:45 BST] at the Allianz Stadium.

Juventus must cope without Khephren Thuram, Kenan Yildiz, Jeff Ekhator, Juan Cabal, Weston McKennie, Andrea Cambiaso, Pepe Matar Sarri and Arkadiusz Milik, while Milan have travelled to Turin without Matteo Gabbia.
Juventus coach Spalletti is expected to pick a 4-2-3-1 system with Boga, Gonzalez and Conceiçao playing as attacking midfielders behind Kolo Muani, according to multiple Italian sources, including Sky Sport.

The American Pro Football Hall of Fame announced revisions to its selection process on Friday, including trimming the selection committee from 50 to 28, to combat "unintended biases."
In changes that begin with consideration of the 2027 class, the selection committee also will return to in-person annual meetings to consider candidates for enshrinement of players, coaches and contributors.
"The Hall continually reviews its bylaws to ensure the selection process reflects the highest standards of integrity," Hall president Jim Porter said. "There is no more important task at the Hall of Fame than the election of each new class."
Porter said the changes came after a review that began 2.5 years ago but they also follow last February's controversial snub of former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who won a record six Super Bowls as a head coach, in his first year of eligibility.
Porter said previous selection process bylaws left room for "unintended biases", including in the way individuals presented nominees, how selectors were ******* igned to each of the NFL's 32 clubs and issues related to players reaching the last year of eligibility in the Modern-Era Players category.

The Athletic's internal investigation found that the relationship between former NFL reporter Dianna Russini and New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel was in "clear violation" of the newsroom's standards.
The outlet, which is owned by the New York Times, released a report Thursday detailing the findings of a five-months-long investigation. Mike Semel, the Athletic's editorial director for standards and quality, wrote that he was unable to find signs of clear bias or determine the exact "nature of their relationship", but said it gave the appearance of a conflict of interest.

"Russini's relationship with Vrabel was in clear violation of The Athletic's standards," Semel wrote. "Regardless of whether the relationship was romantic, it was a breach and should have been disclosed."
"I've not found a clear link to conclude that Russini used her platform to help promote Vrabel or help his teams during her time at The Athletic. That said, there are examples of Russini writing glowingly of Vrabel that in hindsight are awkward or even uncomfortable," he added.

When Katie Taylor leaves the ring on Saturday night, she will have a claim to being the greatest women's boxer in history.
GOAT debates in combat sports are often fruitless — beyond having to compare fighters from different weight classes, different levels of competition and different millennia, we're reliably confused by both recency bias and the glow of nostalgia. We find it hard to ignore charisma and correct for its absence. We're biased, hopelessly so, and there are far too many pitfalls on the landscape. So it is refreshing then, although incredibly rare, for a fighter in the debate to transcend the question altogether.
Is Katie Taylor the greatest?
Maybe. Her staggering amateur career, culminating in Olympic gold in 2012, preceded a professional run that saw her become undisputed champion at two weight classes and dominate the lightweight division for years. She fought the best fighters of her generation, avenged her only loss, and of all her peers in the GOAT debate, she boasts the greatest singular win, defeating Amanda Serrano in an all-time classic firefight at Madison Square Garden in 2022. She went on to defeat Serrano twice more.
Others also have a claim. You might prefer earlier pioneers like Ann Wolfe or Laila Ali, or current multi-weight queen Claressa Shields. There are arguments for all.

Law Murray: From the LA Clippers On behalf of the LA Clippers: We vehemently reject the NBA's findings, which are the result of a heavily biased investigation seeking to justify a predetermined narrative rather than facts and evidence. What the league told us privately differs from what it announced today publicly, and they have not held themselves close to the standard Commissioner Silver set at the start of this investigation to ensure it's fairness and accuracy. For the past year, we cooperated fully and in good faith and we will now fight just as hard to demonstrate our innocence. We intend to vigorously challenge these findings and penalties through every avenue available to us and look forward to an ethical and impartial arbitration process.

Few among us know NBA basketball like the players who make up that league. And while that may not come as much of a surprise to most fans of the sport, the fact that recency bias can warp the perception of historical greatness ought to not come as much of a shock either given not all of us (NBA stars or otherwise) are scholars of league history.
So when new Minnesota Timberwolves guard LaMelo Ball paid former Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown near the top of the mountain when it comes to all-time great Celtics on a recent episode of the semi-eponymous "Ball in the Family" podcast, one can hardly blame him, especially considering he was not all that far from the truth. "I have got to see all the accolades," said Ball (h/t to Yahoo Sports' Gautam Varier) with an understandable caveat, "but if you line up Boston's best players ever, he's in my top five."
Now if you were to say top at his position, that would be a more reasonable argument given the existence of players like Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, John Havlicek, Jo Jo White, Dave Cowens, Robert Parish, Kevin McHale, Larry Bird, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett. There are reasonable arguments to rank him three or maybe even four of those names, but after that it gets tough given all these Hall of Fame players accomplished in Boston. Ball seemed to acknowledge this dynamic, shifting the frame to a more positional one.
"Only two wings is better than him is Paul Pierce and Larry Bird," said the Minnesota guard. Hondo and White would like a word, but to be fair neither looms as large in the lore of the wider league as they ought to. Perhaps most interestingly, Ball also thinks Boston dealt their best player to the Philadelphia 76ers.
"I think Brown's a little better," said Ball. "He's low-key frying Bird ... I don't want to be disrespectful… Bird is baking him too, but he's baking Bird. Bird is baking him, too, but he is also getting to it ... Jaylen Brown has a better chance of guarding him than he has of guarding Jaylen Brown."

Caitlin Clark's WNBA MVP odds are still lagging behind a couple of other stars, but Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy doesn't think the race should be close at all.
Currently, Clark has the fourth-best odds (+5000) on DraftKings to take home the league's biggest individual honor. A'ja Wilson is the favorite (-1200), followed by Olivia Miles (+800) and Kelsey Mitchell, Clark's Indiana Fever teammate, at +4000.
On "Wake Up Barstool" Monday, Portnoy made his case that Clark is the clear-cut MVP, arguing that she is 'dominating the sport' the way people anticipated she would when the came to the WNBA in 2024.
Portnoy is an unabashed Clark supporter, but insisted his bias isn't why the third-year guard should win her first MVP trophy.
"Caitlin Clark is the MVP, and I'm not just saying it because I'm a Caitlin Clark fan," Portnoy began. "The numbers, and what she has been doing for the last month. The last game, 34 points, 12 ***** ists. Game before that, 37 points, 10 ***** ists…In her last 10 games: 34, 37, 21, 24, 26, 29, 22 (points). She's a double-double machine. The league has never seen anything like it."

A father in Palo Alto, California, is declaring a victory in court after a federal judge allowed a civil rights lawsuit alleging anti-Asian bias in college admissions to move forward.
Nan Zhong and his son, Stanley Zhong, filed federal lawsuits against several elite institutions, including the University of California system, the University of Washington, the University of Michigan and Cornell University. The complaints allege the universities engaged in "racially discriminatory admissions practices that disadvantage highly qualified Asian-American applicants."
One of their cases will now proceed in part against the University of Washington after a federal judge granted the university defendants' motion to dismiss in part and denied it in part.
"We got an exciting ruling from the judge," Nan Zhong told Fox News Digital. "Effectively, the judge ruled in our favor by denying the university's motion to dismiss. So, this is a major development in the lawsuit. That means the judge found enough factual allegations to support our allegation."

Ever since the great Claude Rains first uttered the immortal line "Round up the usual suspects!" in Casablanca, the phrase has been ingrained in the popular lexicon — so much so that it inspired the ****** le of an entirely different movie nearly 50 years later. You hear it everywhere, in any context where you can expect to see a predictable set of participants.
On Saturday, a struggling Juventus were buoyed by a pair of very unusual suspects — guys most fans figured would be gone, or at least on their way out the door, by this point in the transfer window. Unable to penetrate a deep-lying Parma defense, it was Nico González who gave a moribund attack an instant shot in the arm, forcing a magical save before scoring a deflected goal off his own rebound to open the scoring. Then, with two minutes left, the game was sealed by another unlikely goalscorer: Teun Koopmeiners, who had just come on after an injury to Andrea Cambiaso and finished off a quick attack with a beautiful finish.
The unlikely redemption arcs from players most ****** umed were out of the team's plans, or at least on the very fringes, were welcome developments for a team that learned this week that their talisman, Kenan Yildiz, would miss two to three months once he undergoes surgery on a broken metatarsal. After a first half that seemed to be crying out for his creativity, it was the transfer-listed González who gave the Bianconeri the necessary spark to take Parma down 2-0 as they began to look forward to next week's big match against AC Milan.
Apart from Yildiz, Luciano Spalletti was also missing Weston McKennie (muscle fatigue), Edon Zhegrova, and Khéphren Thuram, who suffered a setback in his knee recovery and could now require surgery. Jeff Ekhator came back to make his first Juve squad in a competitive game. Spalletti's 4-2-3-1 was therefore shuffled a bit. Guglielmo Vicario started in goal after getting over the cramp that forced him off late against Frosinone. Pierre Kalulu and Zeki Çelik played on the defensive flanks, while Bremer was partnered with new signing Jhon Lucumí in the middle of defense. Manuel Locatelli and Douglas Luiz played in the midfield, while Francisco Conceição, Jonathan David, and Jérémie Boga supported Randal Kolo Muani in attack.
Carlos Cuesta lost his first Parma match last week against Cagliari, and were looking for something better here. His only missing player was former Juve prospect Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, who had to have a surgery of his own this week. Edoardo Corvi started behind a 4-4-2. Enrico Delprato, Mariano Troilo, Dominik Drobnic, and Emanuele Valeri arrayed themselves in front of him. Sascha Britschgi and Mandela Keita bookended Christian Ordóñez and Adrían Bernabé in midfield. El Bilal Touré and Simone Lontani started up front. Drobnic and Lontani were both teenagers, and the former was making his debut.
