Holdingford, MN — First and 10 from the thirty-yard line, down seven with three timeouts and just under three minutes left to play.
It is what every little kid playing football dreams of when they are playing in the backyard. The situation was perfect. With about half of the City of Holdingford gathered around the field, and an eerie thunderstorm looming behind, the ambiance surrounding Holdingford Field was palpable.
In a game where Royalton scored zero offensive points, quarterback Connor Boser and the Royals had the perfect opportunity to right the ship and spoil coach Brody Anderson's home opener.

For guests heading toward the Boom Boom Room for Bulgari's New York Fashion Week party, a surprise detour awaited them: the night actually began up on the High Line.
There, Bulgari ambassadors Anne Hathaway and Lisa glimmered in jewels as a small crowd gathered for the unveiling of Bulgari's "AuruBoros." Curator Beatrice Galilee took to the mic to give some context for the installation, which was created by Berlin-based artistic duo Plastique Fantastique (Marco Canevacci and Yena Young).

Six years after his sad passing, fans are remembering the life and legacy of actor Chadwick Boseman, who died on August 28, 2020, at the age of 43 after a private four-year battle with colon cancer.
His death has left his family embroiled in a legal battle after his brothers took his widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, to court over her handling of his multimillion-dollar estate.
Ledward previously spoke about moving on, saying she was sure Boseman wouldn't want her life to be all about his legacy.

WASHINGTON, Aug 8 (Reuters) - U.S. House Democrats preparing for a possible return to power are developing a broad investigative strategy targeting companies and financial firms surrounding President Donald Trump, instead of trying to impeach him immediately, according to four people familiar with the discussions.
Senior Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives and committee aides have discussed using hearings, subpoenas and document ‌requests to obtain records from entities tied to Trump's political and business orbit, the sources said. It is a bet that investigating private companies and outside financial players will prove more fruitful than directly ‌confronting a White House they expect to resist oversight, they said.
The approach reflects both Democratic caution and a lesson many in the party say they learned during Trump's first term: that impeachment proceedings can consume Congress while allowing Trump to cast himself as the victim of a partisan campaign.
Instead, Democrats involved in the planning envision using House investigative powers after November's midterm elections to scrutinize the administration's decision-making and examine whether Trump used his power to benefit himself, allies or donors.

Bayern Munich's Global Academy continues to take shape, with various levels and entry station into the Bavarians' increasing youth movement developing. If one wishes to take a closer look at what the Global Academy is, this is the place to look. The TLDR is that, since 2023, Bayern invites a 18 U-18 players to a one year training camp that spans an entire season. These players, if they demonstrate enough talent, will get the chance to move up through the system. The next step for any outstanding Global Academy player is the Bayern World Squad.
Which is precisely what Aryan Bose did. As one of the outstanding members of the 2025/26 Global Academy, he was invited to the 2026 Bayern World Squad. Furthermore, the 17-year-old sat down with Bayern to hold an interview and let fans know a little more about himself. Bayern's official website has the whole conversation:
For Aryan Bose, taking part in the FC Bayern World Squad this year marks another important step on his extraordinary journey. The attacking player comes from India but was born in Thailand and grew up there. It was through the FC Bayern Global Academy that he earned his place in the World Squad project. He is now part of the Class of '26 and is competing against talented players from all over the world at the highest level of youth football. In this interview, Aryan talks about the biggest differences between the Global Academy and the World Squad, the most memorable moments of his trip to South Korea, and what he is taking away from this experience for his personal and sporting development.
Aryan, please introduce yourself. What's your name, and where are you from?
"My name is Aryan Bose. I'm from India, but I was born in Thailand and grew up there."
You were selected as a Global Academy player to take part in this year's World Squad project and were scouted by Roy Makaay and Diego Contento. What does it mean to you personally to be a player who has been able to prove yourself on the pitch?
"I'm very proud and feel very honoured that the coaches saw something in me and gave me the opportunity to become a World Squad player."

Chadwick Boseman built one of the most purposeful careers in modern Hollywood, and he did it in barely a decade. He played Jackie Robinson, James Brown and Thurgood Marshall. Then came King T'Challa, the role that turned a Marvel movie into a cultural event. In August 2020, he was gone at 43. Fans learned only afterward that he had been fighting colon cancer the entire time.
What he left behind is smaller than most people **** ume, and far more complicated. Boseman died without a will. Nearly six years later, his estate is back in a Los Angeles courtroom. His brothers and his widow now sit on opposite sides of the filing. Here is a closer look at how he died and who he married. We also break down his net worth and why the fight over his legacy drags on.
Boseman died on Aug. 28, 2020, at his home in the Los Angeles area. He was 43. Ultimately, his family confirmed the cause as colon cancer in a statement posted to his social accounts. He died with his wife and family beside him.
Notably, doctors diagnosed him with stage III colon cancer in 2016, and the disease later progressed to stage IV. Yet he never disclosed it publicly. Instead, he kept filming through surgeries and chemotherapy. That stretch produced "Marshall," "Black Panther," "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame." It also produced "Da 5 Bloods" and "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom." That final role earned him a posthumous Academy Award nomination.
Boseman was born on Nov. 29, 1976, in Anderson, South Carolina, to Carolyn, a nurse, and Leroy, who worked in a textile factory. He studied at Howard University under Phylicia Rashad. A summer program at Oxford accepted him, but he could not afford it. So Rashad quietly raised the money from her friends. One of those donors turned out to be Denzel Washington, as Boseman revealed publicly in 2019. "There is no Black Panther without Denzel Washington," he told an AFI audience.

Chadwick Boseman died in August 2020 at 43, following a four-year battle with colon cancer. Now the Black Panther star's family is asking a Los Angeles court to strip his widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, of her role overseeing his estate.
In a petition filed by Kevin and Derrick Boseman, per People, the actor's brothers allege that Ledward — also known as Simone Ledward-Boseman — has failed to properly distribute the remaining ****** ets of Chadwick's estate in the six years since his death, and they're asking the court to remove her as administrator as a result.
"She [Ledward] continues to exercise complete control over his estate without input from Leroy and Carolyn," the petition states, according to the outlet, referring to Chadwick's parents, who are reportedly entitled to 25 percent of his estate. Ledward is entitled to 50 percent, per the filing, because Chadwick died without a will roughly six days after the couple wed in 2020.

Per the outlet, a court allegedly issued a "Final Order" in 2022 directing Ledward to distribute ****** ets, including a $40,000 Life Long-Term Care Policy meant for Chadwick's mother, Carolyn.

Chadwick Boseman's brothers want his widow removed as the administrator of his estate.
The Black Panther star died in 2020, aged 43, after a four-year battle with colon cancer. He was survived by his wife, Simone Ledward-Boseman.
Now, the actor's brothers, Kevin and Derrick Boseman, have filed a petition with a Los Angeles court to remove Ledward as the administrator of his estate, claiming she hasn't properly distributed his **** ets and hasn't given his parents what they are entitled to.
"She (Ledward) continues to exercise complete control over his estate without input from Leroy and Carolyn (Boseman's parents)," according to the petition, obtained by People magazine.
Boseman's parents, Leroy and Carolyn, are supposedly entitled to 25% of Chadwick's estate. The filing states that Ledward is entitled to 50% because Chadwick died without a will six days after they married in 2020.
The family allegedly issued a Final Order in 2022 directing Ledward to distribute estate **** ets. Kevin and Derrick claim in the petition that Ledward "continues to exert unilateral control over Decedent's estate, denying Decedent's family long overdue closure or participation in decision-making regarding matters affecting Leroy and Carolyn's interests in Decedent's estate."

When the Oklahoma Sooners hired Florida defensive coordinator Bob Stoops to replace former head coach John Blake ahead of the 1999 season, they ushered in a whole new era of success and consistency in Norman. Since then, OU has often enjoyed high-level winning, and they've typically been among the sport's most stable programs.
Stoops got the program back to its old ways, the way things were under Bud Wilkinson and Barry Switzer back in the day. He retired and handed the keys to Lincoln Riley, who left after just five seasons for USC. Enter Brent Venables, who was Stoops' longtime defensive coordinator and also excelled in that role at Clemson. He's been the head ball coach at OU since the 2022 season.
That means that the Sooners have had just three full-time head coaches since 1999, which is remarkable stability in college football. However, most of the other programs in the SEC can't claim that kind of stability.
Today, we're going to take a look at each SEC team's head coaches in that time period (1999-present) to see which programs have had the most and least stability. We'll include interim head coaches as well, along with the newcomers for 2026.

Trump seizes control of Republicans' 2026 election strategy with his presidency on the line

By Nandita Bose and Tim Reid
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump isn't on the ballot in next November's midterm elections, but he’s plunging into them with his own presidency at stake. He's calling candidates, making early endorsements, shaping strategy and pushing economic messaging to try to keep Congress in Republican hands, according to nine Republicans involved in election strategy.
As early as this summer, 18 months before Election Day 2026, Trump was urging Republican congressmen ex
