Joe Manganiello says Sofía Vergara refused to hug him when he pleaded for affection during his long health battle. According to PEOPLE's Oct. 7 report, he writes in his memoir that their marriage had "become devoid of any emotionality whatsoever."
The 49-year-old True Blood actor discusses that period in Bloodlines, his memoir arriving Oct. 13 from Avid Reader Press/Simon & Schuster.
Manganiello and Vergara married in November 2015, announced their separation in July 2023 and finalized their divorce in April 2024.
Vergara had not addressed the memoir allegations when Us Weekly published its Oct. 7 report. The outlet said it had contacted her for comment.
Manganiello says his symptoms began shortly after the wedding. Abdominal pain sometimes left him unable to walk, while digestive ulcers, fevers, blistering rashes, bleeding and exhaustion became recurring problems.

The book has already broughtrenewed attention to Brady and Bündchen's split, which became final in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage.
"The picture painted of the Brady marriage has always been, until this new biography, one of the man who refused to slow down to be present for his family, while Gisele gave it all up, Princess Grace-styley, to be a Trad Wife,"Jones wrote.

The International League T20 (ILT20) Season 5 was officially launched with a glittering event in Dubai, with fast-bowling legends Brett Lee and Shoaib Akhtar among the star attractions on an evening celebrating the league's rapid rise and growing influence across the Gulf region.
The event brought together leading figures from cricket, sport, business and government, with ILT20 chairman Khalid Al Zarooni and league commissioner, ICC board director and ECB general secretary Mubashshir Usmani highlighting the tournament's contribution to the development and expansion of cricket in the UAE and the wider region.
Al Zarooni reflected on the league's growth while thanking its stakeholders and partners.
"What began as a dream has grown into one of the world's leading cricket leagues, bringing together top players and major franchises, while helping grow cricket in the UAE, the region and beyond," he said.
He also acknowledged the support of franchise owners, commercial and strategic partners, with a special mention for Zee Network, while welcoming SPORTFIVE as a new commercial partner.
A special panel discussion hosted by former New Zealand international Simon Doull explored the changing landscape and future of cricket in the region and globally.
The panel featured Usmani, Dr Mohamed Abu Hamra, Eisa Sharif of the Dubai Sports Council, ZEE Entertainment Enterprises Deputy CEO and CFO Mukund Galgali, SportFive President Venu Nair and Bisleri Global Director Sales & Marketing Tushar Malhotra.
Doull later brought Lee and Shoaib together for another engaging discussion, with the two legendary fast bowlers speaking about the ILT20's growing impact on UAE and regional cricket.
The pair also looked back on their playing careers, recalling an era in which their blistering pace made them two of the most feared fast bowlers in world cricket.
The evening also featured a spell-binding performance by celebrity mentalist Karan Singh Magic, while the league unveiled its new brand identity for Season 5.
Season 5 will be played in November and December across the UAE's three iconic venues — Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi, Dubai International Stadium and Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Defending champions Desert Vipers will enter the fifth season aiming to retain their crown. Gulf Giants won the inaugural season, followed by MI Emirates in Season 2 and Dubai Capitals in Season 3.

SINGAPORE, Sept 8 (Reuters) - A blistering rally in the ******* anese yen ahead of an expected interest rate hike from the Bank of ******* an next week is upending the long-established and lucrative carry trade, as investors rethink the path ahead for the volatile currency.
Early hints of capital repatriation and expectations of a faster pace of monetary tightening by the BOJ along with U.S. pressure are combining to boost the yen, which hit 40-year lows in July, triggering a joint U.S.-Japan intervention.
The spike is also spurring an unwinding of the popular carry trade, which involves borrowing yen at a low cost to invest in other currencies and ******* ets offering higher yields, as traders brace for central bank meetings in ******* an and the U.S.
"The carry trade is vulnerable because this unwind is happening before the BOJ has even delivered its expected hike," said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo.

During the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, the No. 23 23XI Racing Toyota pit crew of Bubba Wallace set a new pit stop record while changing four tires during the race.
The crew completed the stop in 7.86 seconds, beating the previous record of 7.98, which was held by the pit crew for the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota of Christopher Bell and took place as Las Vegas Motor Speedway in March of the year. Those are the only two known four-tire pit stops under eight seconds.
Wallace's blistering fast pit crew responsible for the stop included front tire changer Austin **** ey, rear tire changer Adam Hartman, tire carrier Joe Crossen, jackman Nathan Ricketts, and fueler Joshua Pech.

World number one Aryna Sabalenka led the way into the US Open quarter-finals, subduing American Taylor Townsend in straight sets on Sunday to keep her bid for a rare three-peat on track.
Sabalenka rallied from 3-1 down in the second set for a 6-4, 6-3 victory on Arthur Ashe Stadium, where men's defending champion Carlos Alcaraz took on 20th-seeded American Tommy Paul in search of a quarter-final berth.
Sabalenka needed all of her resolve against the multi-faceted Townsend, whose blistering service returns and net prowess flummoxed the Belarusian star.
The match opened with five breaks of serve before Sabalenka managed a comfortable hold for a 4-2 first-set lead.
But eventually Sabalenka's sustained power and precision proved a little too much.

On August 13, Legence Corp. (NASDAQ:LGN) reported second-quarter results that more than doubled the company's revenue from a year earlier, a jump big enough to make even seasoned investors do a double take. Strip out the contribution from the company's Bowers acquisition and the underlying business still grew 60%. But dig one line deeper into the same report and a less flattering picture shows up: profitability per dollar of revenue actually shrank, and the bottom line posted a wider loss than it did last year. That contrast, blistering growth paired with thinning margins, is the story investors now have to sort out.
The headline number was revenue of $1.26 billion for the quarter, up 110.7% from $598.9 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA climbed even faster in percentage terms, rising 114.1% to $154.6 million, which tells you the company managed to grow its cash-generating profit measure roughly in step with the top line even during a period of heavy acquisition-driven expansion. Backlog and awarded contracts, effectively the pipeline of future work already on the books, reached $5.67 billion, more than double the $2.77 billion Legence held a year earlier.
That backlog is not concentrated in one place either. While data centers and technology remained the biggest driver, management pointed to healthy activity across life sciences and healthcare, state and local government, and education as well, spreading the growth across several end markets rather than resting it on a single customer type. The Installation & Maintenance segment did the heavy lifting, with revenue up 162% to $1.06 billion, and even after removing the Bowers acquisition's impact, that segment still grew 86.6% on its own.
Management also used the quarter to raise its full-year guidance, now targeting $4.7 billion to $4.8 billion in revenue, up from a prior range of $4.1 billion to $4.3 billion, alongside adjusted EBITDA guidance lifted to $565 million to $585 million from $470 million to $490 million.
The same report shows profitability moving in the opposite direction of revenue. Gross margin fell to 17.4% from 21.5% a year ago, and the non-GAAP adjusted version slipped to 18.5% from 21.8%, a shift the company attributed to a revenue mix leaning more heavily toward lower-margin installation and maintenance work. The Engineering & Consulting segment felt this directly, with gross profit down 12.4% to $56.1 million even as its revenue grew, a sign that pricing and cost pressure in that business outpaced its sales growth. Net loss attributable to Legence widened to $27.8 million from $5.3 million a year earlier, and the company's total net loss grew to $34.6 million from $3.9 million.

On August 29, at the O2 Arena in London, Filip Hrgovic inflicted a shock defeat on heavyweight rising star Moses Itaumato become the new IBF heavyweight champion. Fans, fighters, and boxing coaches have had their say on what went wrong for the Brit, and Ryan Garcia is the latest to have his say when speaking to the media ahead of his September 12 WBC welterweight world ******* le defence against Conor Benn.
Moses Itauma (14-1, 12 KOs) entered the ring at the O2 Arena as a huge odds-on favourite against the experienced Croatian, Filip Hrgovic (21-1, 16 KOs). Itauma took no time to settle, quickly showcasing his blistering hand speed and impressive accuracy.
Despite the constant onslaught from Itauma, Hrgovic stood tall and took everything, and as the fight progressed, the Brit looked to be tiring. The Croat's right hand began to land with more regularity. The ninth round saw Itauma enter a state of barely being able to stand up, and Hrgovic let his hands go, with the towel coming in from Ben Davison just as the referee stepped in to wave the fight off. The O2 fell into stunned silence as Hrgovic and his team celebrated wildly that he was the new IBF heavyweight world champion.
"It's a marathon. Don't look too much into this defeat. Look into what you need to fix, for sure. But don't let it get you down completely. You were obviously the better fighter. You just weren't conditioned, and you just don't have enough experience at this current time to take that.
"But I don't think he did bad. He was doing pretty good, but…I don't know what was going on with his head. If you watch his interviews before, he's saying that he's not the best physcially right now (not sparred 12 rounds), nor mentally, but it will still be enough to beat Hrgovic. That's a really bad mindset," said Garcia, reflecting on Itauma's defeat.

It is safe to say that Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes is enjoying a fantastic week. Fresh from lifting the PFA Players' Player of the Year award, the Portuguese maestro delivered a masterclass against Ipswich Town last Sunday in the 5-2 Premier League win.

Russian veteran Karen Khachanov defeated an ailing third-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime Thursday in the second round of the US Open in four sets.
Khachanov, unseeded this year but a familiar face in the latter stages of big tournaments, beat Auger-Aliaissime 6-7 (5/7), 6-3, 6-2, 6-2.
The 26-year-old Canadian, a two-time semi-finalist at Flushing Meadows, eked out a first-set tiebreaker against the hard-hitting Russian, who himself made the US Open semifinals in 2022.
But Auger-Aliassime, who appeared to give up quickly on some ***** , was undone by a rash of unforced errors in the subsequent sets. He made 47 in all, compared with 30 for Khachanov.
Khachanov also won several key points with blistering backhand down-the-line winners.

EXCLUSIVE — The head of an influential Senate committee is urging Congress to reconsider the charter of the nation's largest teachers union, citing its far-left ***** ociations and allegedly irresponsible financial activity.
In recent years, the National Education ***** ociation, which represents roughly 3 million educators, has come under fire for mobilizing students and teachers to support liberal activist campaigns, been criticized by its Jewish members for failing to address antisemitism, spent millions in membership dues supporting left-wing causes and partnered with organizations that portray political violence and far-left extremism favorably.
Now, Sen. Bill Cassidy, the Republican chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, is calling on his colleagues to take a closer look at the NEA's congressional charter.
Blistering Report Exposes How National K-12 Group's Dei Agenda Is Trickling Down To Local Schools
"Children are struggling to read and to do basic math. Instead of helping students succeed, teachers' unions are injecting a dangerous, anti-American agenda into our classrooms," Cassidy told Fox News Digital. "Parents deserve to send their children to school without worrying that they will be indoctrinated with Dei and taught that Americans have 'misplaced faith' in our institutions."

Owen Hargreaves, former Bayern Munich player and Englishman, says Harry Kane is the rightful winner for the Ballon d'Or but also named another player he wouldn't mind winning:
"There are a few contenders, but you can't say which one of them clearly stands out", Hargreaves started." (Christopher Michel as captured by X account iMiaSanMia). "Harry Kane played incredibly well for FC Bayern and, of course, won the league. His goalscoring record was simply unbelievable – the number of goals he scored. Of course, he also had a very, very good World Cup, a strong World Cup where he scored a lot of goals. England finished third in that tournament – I mean, who else could it be?
"I thought Rodri was outstanding" the 45-year-old added. "He won both cup ******* les with Manchester City (FA Cup and Carabao Cup). He won the World Cup and was probably the best player in the tournament. If I were to vote, it would come down to these two players."
Harry Kane came off a blistering season for club and country in the 2025/26 season. He helped Bayern Munich to a league and cup double and spearheaded England's run to a bronze medal in the 2026 World Cup. Rodri's trophy haul might look more appealing, but Kane could make a case for himself with the impact he has on Bayern and England.

Dillon Dingler's 26 homers in 2026 are twice as many as he hit last year.
The second half of the MLB season has been a disaster for the best home run bets. Entering the MLB All-Star break, the best home run bets generated $642 in profit for anyone who bet $100 on each of the touted home run props at the listed odds.
In the second half, the best home run bets have cost bettors $892. The best home run props have a 20-81 record, with three no bets over the course of the entire season, and they're $250 in the red.
There is still time to salvage the season and generate a profit. Fortunately, home run props being long-shot wagers cuts both ways. While they're difficult to hit, correctly selecting a few home run bets can pull the best home run bets out of their funk and lift them back into the black.
A power-hitting catcher and one of MLB's best sluggers have eye-catching odds to hit a home run today. The first has an excellent matchup, and the second has an adequate matchup and blistering batted-ball data.

Lincolnton (N.C.) won 11 games and reached the NCHSAA 3A state semifinals last season. The Wolves plan on making another deep run this fall and they've got one of the state's top defensive prospects leading the way.
Senior four-star linebacker Jalaythan Mayfield is the leader on the Lincolnton defense. The Indiana commit was all over the place in an impressive season-opening 30-10 road win at Maiden on Friday evening.
The 6-foot-1.5, 235-pounder racked up 13 tackles, forced a fumble in the red zone and returned a fumble for a touchdown in the victory. He routinely bullied the Maiden offensive line coming off the edge, notching a sack and tackle for loss. Mayfield raced all over the field and finished plenty of plays with aggression.
1 – 0 in the books. Great win over our cross town rivals Maiden! 13 Tackles | 1 Forced Fumble | 1 Fumble Recovery | 1 Touchdown | 1 Sack | 1 TFL |TheUCReport TomLoy247 SWiltfong_ ErikRichardsUSA BrandonHuffman JeffRabjohns#AGTG #Growth #IUFB #GoHoosiers #RecruitTheL pic.twitter.com/kOjJ12sgei
Mayfield is also an offensive weapon on the ground for the Wolves. He rushed for 13 touchdowns as a junior last fall to go with a whopping 152 tackles. He averaged over 11 tackles per game in 2025 and is already off to a blistering pace as a senior.

He routinely bullied the Maiden offensive line coming off the edge, notching a sack and tackle for loss. Mayfield raced all over the field and finished plenty of plays with aggression.
1 – 0 in the books. Great win over our cross town rivals Maiden! 13 Tackles | 1 Forced Fumble | 1 Fumble Recovery | 1 Touchdown | 1 Sack | 1 TFL |TheUCReport TomLoy247 SWiltfong_ ErikRichardsUSA BrandonHuffman JeffRabjohns#AGTG #Growth #IUFB #GoHoosiers #RecruitTheL pic.twitter.com/kOjJ12sgei
Mayfield is also an offensive weapon on the ground for the Wolves. He rushed for 13 touchdowns as a junior last fall to go with a whopping 152 tackles. He averaged over 11 tackles per game in 2025 and is already off to a blistering pace as a senior.

Thirty years after the U.S. women's national team won the gold medal in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, going 2-1 over China, and a month after the 2026 World Cup ended its run across the American continents, soccer has returned to the heart of the Classic City at Sanford Stadium.
A record-breaking 25,433 fans packed the metal bleacher seats under the blistering 93-degree setting sun, curving around the west end zone and north side of the stadium to watch the Georgia Bulldogs face the James Madison Dukes to open their home schedule.
Georgia has been a hotbed for soccer since Tiffeny Milbrett broke the deadlock created by China's Sun Wen in the 68th minute of the biggest match on grass and made history for America in front of approximately 76,000 people.
Three decades of all-aged girls have come through the Peach State, which has produced the fourth-most NWSL players. Three of 23 women on the 2019 World Cup roster hailed from the metro-Atlanta area, including Emily Sonnett, who currently plays with the NJ/NY Gotham FC; Morgan Gautrat née Brian; and Kelley O'Hara.
Which made Thursday night something special to witness, especially for this next generation of girls soccer players. Girls like Emerson Finch, Harper Eubanks, Mattie Raborn and Charlotte Peyton, who all play for Augusta ****** nal.

After a blistering start to their domestic season, Celtic will begin their Champions League campaign on Wednesday night by hosting LASK in the first leg of the play-off round. The spirit must be high in the camp after the weekend's thumping 4-0 League Cup win at Tannadice Park against Dundee United. But the Austrian heavyweights, who won their first league ****** le in 61 years, would be more resolute in deep defence.
Meanwhile, the LASK boss Dietmar Kühbauer considers the home side favourites for this European encounter. However, he calls for a balanced and proactive performance in Glasgow rather than a purely defensive approach, and this midweek contest would be a tactical battle between two domestic champions in their first-ever competitive meeting for a lucrative league-phase spot in this coveted tournament.
The Hoops are weighing up a move for another goalkeeper. But they are not in a rush, thanks to Viljami Sinisalo's command and composure ever since replacing the injured Kasper Schmeichel between the sticks earlier this year.

Alistair Johnston's injury is a massive blow, and the gaffer Martin O'Neill is likely to rely on Colby Donovan down the right, having preferred him over Anthony Ralston in recent fixtures. Liam Scales got the nod against the Tangerines as a left fullback, but could make way for Kieran Tierney, who remains the preferred choice for his flair, finesse and trademark crosses. The USMNT duo Cameron Carter-Vickers and Auston Trusty should continue as the first-team central defensive pairing.

Two-sport ONE World Champion Stella "Always Hungry" Hemetsberger marched into ONE Fight Night 46 bearing the absolute weight of two divisional crowns on her shoulders and soaring expectations of an entire nation.
She carried them beautifully, decimating dangerous Russian challenger Natalia "Karelian Lynx" Diachkova via knockout in the third round to make a commanding first defense of her ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World **** le. The spectacular finish went down inside Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, August 14, airing live in U.S. primetime on Prime Video.
As dramatic as the conclusion was, Hemetsberger met immediate resistance from her dangerous World **** le challenger. Riding a blistering string of knockouts, a fearless Diachkova pushed the opening pace in a frantic bid to overwhelm the reigning monarch with heavy punch combinations.
However, the 27-year-old has been in the wringer before. Showcasing the disciplined composure of a warrior, Hemetsberger weathered the early aggression with an unwavering belief in her superior striking.

Manchester Super Giants clinched their maiden men's ******* le while Trent Rockets Women lifted their first-ever trophy as The Hundred's sixth season reached a dramatic conclusion at Lord's. The Hundred's sixth season signed off in style at Lord's, with Manchester Super Giants and Trent Rockets sharing the spotlight on a Finals Day that produced two contrasting ******* le deciders.
Manchester Super Giants, formerly known as Manchester Originals, survived a late collapse to defeat Trent Rockets by five wickets in the men's final, while Trent Rockets Women produced a ruthless display to crush Sunrisers Leeds by eight wickets and claim their maiden ******* le.
The Trent Rockets also walked away with an additional prize, winning the inaugural Helix trophy for the best combined franchise performance across the men's and women's competitions.
The men's final looked to be slipping away from Manchester Super Giants before Tim Seifert intervened with a breathtaking ******* ault. Trent Rockets posted 158 for 8 from their 100 ******* , with Aneurin Donald leading the recovery with a rapid 38 off 19 ******* , while captain Lewis Gregory contributed 32 from 19.
The Rockets had made a steady start through Ben Duckett, but their momentum was checked by a double blow. Spinner Noor Ahmad was involved in the dismissal of captain Sam Billings before removing Tim David for a duck, leaving Manchester with an opening to seize control.
Donald and Gregory then rebuilt the innings with aggressive strokeplay, pushing Trent towards a competitive total of 158. Manchester's response began with a clear intent to attack.
Seifert turned the chase into a spectacle, smashing 72 off just 38 ******* , including seven sixes. His calculated aggression kept Manchester ahead of the required rate and put the Rockets under immense pressure. Paul Walter provided valuable support, adding 22 off 14 ******* , with the pair putting together a blistering 66-run stand from only 31 ******* .
But just when Manchester appeared certain to cruise home, the final overs produced a dramatic twist. Mohammad Amir dragged the Super Giants back into the contest with a superb spell, conceding just 29 runs and helping create six consecutive dot ******* . Heinrich Klaasen and Michael Bracewell also departed as the pressure suddenly mounted.
With Manchester needing a boundary to settle the nerves, Liam Dawson delivered. He launched a towering six over deep midwicket with just two ******* remaining, taking Manchester Super Giants to 162 for 5 after 98 ******* and sealing their first men's ******* le.
Noor Ahmad finished with three wickets for Manchester, while Amir claimed three for Trent Rockets, but it was Seifert's extraordinary innings that ultimately defined the final.
If the men's final went down to the wire, the women's contest was almost the complete opposite. Trent Rockets Women dismantled Sunrisers Leeds, formerly Northern Superchargers, to secure a commanding eight-wicket

No matter what happened Sunday, Alexander Zannes knew he could live with the outcome.
"(It was) just like, 'Hey, if I win, I win,'" he said. "Life is going to go on, and I'm happy to be out here and able to play in this kind of stuff still."
He got a result to be plenty happy with, too.
Zannes won the 85th Annual Greater Albuquerque Men's City Golf Championship by two strokes, carding a 1-under 71 in the final round to finish 11 under on the week.
The 38-year-old commercial real estate broker and Valley High School graduate climbed into contention on the strength of a blistering second-round 8-under 64 on Saturday at Ladera Golf Course, where he used to work as a cart boy in his youth. He finished the job Sunday at Los Altos with a front nine that saw him make five birdies and four bogeys before "holding it together" through a nerve-riddled back nine.

The first leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs has reached its final round. We can only hope the action at the St. Jude Championship is at hot as the weather in Memphis.
With temperatures forecast to be back over 100, the golfers hoping to hang onto or snare a spot in the top 50 of the standings will have plenty to fight against. Sungjae Im can't afford to fall off after his impressive start; tied for second at 11 under through three rounds, the Korean has risen from 53rd to 35th. He and Sam Burns, who shot a blistering 8 under in Round 3, enter play today two strokes behind leader Scottie Scheffler.
The other name to watch on the bubble is Brian Harman, who comes in tied for sixth with Hideki Matsuyama, Si Woo Kim and Alex Noren six shots back. Harman has soared from No. 65 at the start of the tournament to No. 51, and if he can keep climbing, he could unseat Maverick McNealy for the final berth at next week's BMW Championship.

It was one of those July days in Middle Tennessee. The punishing kind, where shade is at a premium, no one's clothing stays dry and forearms are seared by leaning against metal fences.
Between those fences, 24 high school football teams had braved the blistering sun for hours, contesting a 7-on-7 tournament. It had, mercifully, ended by the afternoon, and 23 teams had long since vanished from Lebanon High School's campus into the air-conditioned comfort of a ride home.
But not Pearl-Cohn.
On an otherwise empty field, the Firebirds were crowded under a tent. Heart-to-heart sermons from ***** istant coaches to players, preaching toughness and dedication, rolled without an end in sight. "They got to hear it right now," Pearl-Cohn coach Tony Brunetti said, watching approvingly from an adjoining tent.
Crazy thing was they hadn't performed poorly in the tournament. Pearl-Cohn reached the championship game before losing to powerhouse Oakland High. Nothing for the Firebirds to be ashamed of in that showing, but to Brunetti, it was the way they lost.

Zara Tindall was seen publicly for the first time since Wimbledon on Tuesday evening. The mother of three attended the opening festivities for the 2026 FEI World Championships at Allianz Park in Aachen, Germany, joining fellow royals Princess Amalia of the Netherlands and Queen Mary of Denmark.
Looking as resplendent as ever, the daughter of Princess Anne donned a sleek black jumpsuit by Frame. The sleeveless style featured a sash detail and wide lapels, and she added FINLAY 'Tavistock' sunglasses in 'Champagne.'
Zara looked fabulous at the event in her Frame jumpsuit (@ Getty Images)
It was quite surprising to see the royal donning a black ensemble. Although it was expertly tailored in design and undoubtedly chic, the dark tone is synonymous with autumn and winter! This is somewhat of a rogue choice given the blistering hot temperatures the UK and Europe are experiencing right now.

MS NOW "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough launched a blistering attack on far-left streamer Hasan Piker and Democrats unwilling to distance themselves from his rhetoric Monday, warning the party risked repeating what he viewed as its costly 2024 mistakes after Piker ally Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's Democratic Senate nomination.
Scarborough, raising his voice and shouting at times, said Democrats were "too woke to call out the obvious" and questioned why party leaders were reluctant to draw a line over Piker's past comments about rape during Hamas' Oct. 7 terrorist attack, when he remarked that it didn't matter to him if it occurred.
"This is about the Democrats once again, fumbling the football on the two-yard line when they have a chance to make great gains, but being so woke, I don't know if you want to call it woke 1, woke 2, or woke 3, but being too woke to call out the obvious!" Scarborough yelled. "I swear to God. It's really, it's crazy that we're even having this conversation."
The Republican National Committee (RNC) has sought to turn El-Sayed's continued relationship with Piker into a general election liability. RNC national spokesperson Natalie Baldassarre told Fox News Digital Sunday that Democrats' unwillingness to disavow the streamer reflected a broader problem for the party.

New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel will have a tough decision on his hands at wide receiver when cutting the roster down to 53 players.
There are at least seven viable options at the position for the team to keep around.
A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs are expected to be the top two players on the depth chart. If Kayshon Boutte hasn't been traded, he's arguably still the team's best deep-threat option. DeMario Douglas has worked with the starters as the top slot option, while Mack Hollins is the best blocking wide receiver and another viable deep threat. Efton Chism III is a rapidly improving slot option, and Kyle Williams is a 2025 third-round draft pick with blistering speed.
If it came down to it, Vrabel was asked if he would consider keeping all seven receivers on the roster.
"Sure," Vrabel told media members.

Celtic delivered a blistering performance at Rugby Park this afternoon (Sunday, August 9), putting five past Kilmarnock and taking all three points with an emphatic 5-1 victory over Neil McCann's side.
New Bhoy Kasper Høgh will rightly take the headlines for his first-half hat-trick, but across the park Celtic performed brilliantly and made it two wins from two following their opening day victory against Dundee.
With Martin O'Neill still recovering following a small procedure at hospital during the week, ***** istant Manager Shaun Maloney took charge of the team this afternoon and, speaking to CelticPlayer after the match, Maloney was keen to heap praise on the players for their performance.
"I'm delighted. Really, really happy." He said. "I thought we were excellent today.
"I'd say the most impressive thing was the mentality. We started the game at full throttle and we never came off it.

Ty Miller cemented himself as a true prospect to watch earlier tonight (Sat., Aug. 8, 2026) at UFC Vegas 120 LIVE on Paramount+ from inside the revamped Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, as "Thriller" steamrolled fellow welterweight Billy Ray Goff with a blistering third-round TKO (punches).
This was all Miller from the opening bell. He utilized his long reach to establish a range Goff couldn't keep up with. This basically made him target practice for Miller, who had no trouble finding his shots in bunches. Miller hurt Goff with a stiff jab, shots to the body, head kicks, and upper cuts. It was a striking clinic from the undefeated prospect.
It appeared Goff suffered an orbital injury to his right eye along the way, but his corner still allowed him off the stool for the third round. It's unfortunate they did because Miller slammed a perfect right hand that instantly shut Goff down and finally forced the referee to stop the fight.
While some may debate the decision Goff's corner made this fight was all about Miller's performance. He was downright dominant and should be a real name to watch in the welterweight division heading into next year.
Check out his knockout finish below:

Portugal great Luis Figo has said embattled FIFA president Gianni Infantino must go in a blistering op-ed in the Daily Mail.
Figo did not hold back on Infantino, who has been under fire due to his abandoned effort to bring private investment into the structure of the World Cup.
"What I have seen exposed in the last 10 days is the lowest, most deceitful and cravenly self-interested behavior I have ever witnessed," Figo said of Infantino's push to lure in outside investors.
Infantino has been heavily criticized not only for the plan itself, but the secretive way he conceived the idea.
FIFA chief operating officer Kevin Lamour said last week that the controversial proposal was "the project of one person."

SOUTH OGDEN — Perhaps the person most surprised that Derek Hitchner won the Korn Ferry Tour's Utah Championship on Sunday at Ogden Golf & Country Club was Hitchner himself.
"I've been floundering all year," the 26-year-old from Minnesota said on the 18th green after winning a five-way playoff on the first playoff hole with a 6-foot birdie putt. "This is kind of a surprise, and a huge blessing."
It was the first tournament win as a professional for Hitchner, a Pepperdine graduate who turned pro in 2023.
"This is as good as it gets," he said.
The five-man playoff tied for the largest playoff field in Korn Ferry Tour history. After Hitchner and four others — Tommy Morrison, Cole Hammer, Mason Anderson and Travis Trace — tied at 21-under through 72 holes in blistering hot conditions in South Ogden, the fivesome headed out to the 18th tee in the sudden-death playoff.

Navajo Stirling took a big step up in competition earlier today (Sat., Aug. 1, 2026) at UFC Belgrade LIVE on Paramount+ from inside Belgrade Arena in Belgrade, Serbia, stunning former UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz with a blistering first-round TKO (elbows and punches). It was the ninth first-round finish on UFC Belgrade's card, which set a new promotional record.
Stirling accepted this fight on short notice, but still came into Saturday's co-main event as a sizeable betting favorite against a former UFC champion. The young light heavyweight contender has looked good over his first five trips to the canvas so most thought he'd be able to level up and take care of business. Others had faith in Blachowicz to gut check Stirling and prove he's the better fighter at 43 years of age.
While Blachowicz found some success early on this fight was all about Stirling. The talented 205-pound fighter was crisp from the outside and it eventually led to a massive right hand that clipped Blachowicz directly on the chin.

Stirling accepted this fight on short notice, but still came into Saturday's co-main event as a sizeable betting favorite against a former UFC champion. The young light heavyweight contender has looked good over his first five trips to the canvas so most thought he'd be able to level up and take care of business. Others had faith in Blachowicz to gut check Stirling and prove he's the better fighter at 43 years of age.
