The Baltimore Ravens have ***** embled one of the NFL's deeper groups of pass rushers, but not every edge defender brings the same skill set. Some specialize in winning around the corner. Others thrive with their hand in the dirt. A select few possess the size and athleticism to create mismatches from multiple alignments.
Tavius Robinson belongs in that final category. The third-year linebacker has steadily developed into an important part of the defensive front. Baltimore's top defensive ***** istant, Anthony Weaver, believes one trait separates him from many players at his position.
It's not just his physical ability. It's his willingness to do whatever the defense asks, and do so with a team-first mindset.
Following a third Ravens training camp practice, one the defense coincidentally dominated, Coach Weaver spoke with media members. He was asked about Robinson's ability to generate pressure both on the edge and from inside alignments. Weaver made it clear the Ravens view him as far more than a traditional outside linebacker. They view him as the embodiment of unselfishness and constant work ethic.
"[Tavius Robinson] is a stud. He can do so many things because of his traits, his attitude, his body type. Not everybody is built like that. He has a mindset where he does not care where he is rushing from. Sometimes you get those edge guys who do not really want to reduce inside the tackle. He does not care. He just wants to be on the field, helping to contribute, and he is going to help us in a variety of ways."

Medicare has excluded routine dental since 1965, and a single implant now costs $4,500, which is enough to wipe out an entire year's Social Security COLA increase.
Medicare Advantage dental riders and standalone plans both cap annual benefits somewhere between $1,000 and $2,000, leaving $3,000 or more uncovered on a single implant.
Dental schools perform implants at prices 30 to 50 percent below what private practices charge, making them the highest-leverage option for a procedure Medicare will never cover.

A 68-year-old on Original Medicare walks out of her dentist's office with a treatment plan for a single implant. The estimate: $4,500. She calls 1-800-MEDICARE to confirm coverage and receives the answer she hoped was wrong. Original Medicare will pay zero. The estimate is not her coinsurance. It is her bill.

For years, the idea of WWE's The Undertaker and WCW legend Sting going head to head was most fans' idea of a dream match.
Undertaker – real name Mark Calaway – had remained loyal to Vince McMahon and WWE throughout a number of testing years. On the other side of the coin, Sting – real name Steven Borden – had done the same with WCW before its eventual implosion in 2001.
Naturally, Sting ended up on WWE television and made his debut at Survivor Series in 2014 and went on to feud with Triple H.
Nevertheless, there was never any sign of Sting taking on 'Taker' and according to Calaway himself, it was nothing to do with him as to why it never happened.

ESPN is reportedly planning a new college football show built around Josh Pate and Bussin' With The Boys co-hosts Will Compton and Taylor Lewan, airing Friday afternoons from college campuses, according to Front Office Sports' Ryan Glasspiegel.
The reported show would mark an expansion of ties ESPN has already built with all three hosts. Pate joined the network's Get Up rotation last year, as part of a broader push from content president Burke Magnus, who has said college football is under-covered on ESPN's talk programming relative to how many people actually watch the games. Compton and Lewan started appearing on ESPN's daytime lineup around the same time, following their decision to leave Barstool Sports for a presenting sponsorship with FanDuel.
Of course, the show, which sometimes originates from the same city as the next morning's College GameDay broadcast, also indicates ESPN is looking to further lean into a strategy where its top personalities are digital natives. Naturally, the comparisons will be made to Pat McAfee's own rise at the Worldwide Leader, given the trio's SEC Championship altcast debut on ESPN2 last December — an altcast built off the Field Pass template McAfee had already proven out several times over — and now a reported Friday show on top of it. If it feels like a coincidence, it isn't. It's more a barometer for what's possible when a network invests in an audience someone's already built, according to Pate.
"I think when you combine that… year-round college football being viable and then just sports media as a concept being presented in practice the way Pat has done it, I think that there is no ceiling on what you're allowed to do, what you're capable of doing," Pate told Front Office Sports in July.
What Pate, Lewan, and Compton are actually capable of doing won't be clear until games are being played this fall, when ESPN will have to find out whether a Friday show built around three podcast hosts can hold up against the machine it already runs on Saturdays, one anchored by College GameDay and, per Glasspiegel's reporting, the same site the new show would sometimes share. On a recent episode of Bussin' With The Boys, though, Pate and Lewan laid out a vision for the alleged concept and the specific gap in ESPN's Friday programming they think it can fill.

Medicare Advantage enrollment is easy, but switching back requires medical underwriting that a stent, GLP-1 prescription, or high blood pressure can permanently block.
Federal law gives Medigap applicants one guaranteed-issue window: six months starting at 65 with Part B enrollment; after that, carriers can legally deny you.
Original Medicare without a supplement carries a $1,736 per-benefit-period hospital deductible and unlimited 20% Part B coinsurance with no annual out-of-pocket cap.

A 71-year-old Florida widow had spent two years fighting her Medicare Advantage plan over a cardiology referral. She finally decided she was done. A broker helped her choose Medigap Plan G and start the application. Then the insurer saw the stent placed in 2023 and declined her. Other carriers followed. She was allowed to leave Medicare Advantage. Buying the coverage she wanted on the other side was the problem.

On July 30, 2026, Strategy reported an $8.22 billion net loss for Q2. The diluted loss per share came in at $24.45, against **** yst estimates of $2.19 per share. That is not a miss. That is a miss by a factor of more than ten.
And yet Strategy shares closed at $97.74 on the day, up 4.41 percent.
That gap between the reported loss and the stock price reaction is the story. The market was not confused. It was reading a different set of numbers than the headline.
Almost all of Strategy's Q2 operating loss, which was $8.33 billion, was an accounting entry, not a cash outflow. Under FASB's fair-value accounting rules, which Strategy adopted in 2025, the company must mark its Bitcoin holdings to market at the end of every quarter. Bitcoin fell during Q2.
That fall produced an $8.32 billion unrealised loss on the balance sheet, a paper figure that reverses automatically if Bitcoin rises in Q3.

Lori Heinel, who oversees $5.7 trillion as Global Chief Investment Officer at State Street (NYSE:STT), has a story that captures the strange asymmetry of great investment calls. She saw gold's structural setup years before the metal broke through $3,000. She also had a front-row seat to Bitcoin at $500 and passed.

WEST SACRAMENTO, CA – Yeah, Casey Mize was saying on Friday, July 31 – it's a weird place to be. In limbo. Uncertain for whom he will take the mound next.
Could be for the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday in Seattle. Or it could be for any number of contenders who could use a former All-Star pitcher having a career season.
Mize, the No. 1 overall pick in 2018, is set to be a free agent come this winter, meaning there's a chance he could be on the move at the MLB trade deadline, set for 6 p.m. ET Monday. His numbers – 85 strikeouts, 19 walks, 2.70 ERA over 86 innings in 16 starts – would translate well to a team trying to get to the postseason, a description of the Tigers themselves not so long ago.
THE NEXT GENERATION: Kevin McGonigle reunited with Max Clark: 'Good to feed off each other'
As in, the past week in Detroit, before the Tigers went 3-4 against American League also-rans Kansas City and Baltimore. It's hardly coincidence that the Tigers fell flat during their most recent homestand and suddenly Mize was scratched from his scheduled start here at Sutter Health Park against the Athletics.

On July 21, the new S&P Pantera Digital ****** et (SPPDA) Index launched, and with it, investors everywhere now have a quick reference that tells them which cryptocurrencies are probably worth paying attention to. In short, the index's inclusion criteria call for only admitting an ****** et to the index if the protocol backing it earns real revenue. Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), Solana (CRYPTO: SOL), and Hyperliquid (CRYPTO: HYPE) all cleared that bar, but Bitcoin and XRP did not.
The SPPDA stands to benefit Solana, Hyperliquid, and Ethereum, not to mention a couple of other coins that it tracks. Here's why.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
The new index tracks the largest cryptoassets that are economically productive, as defined by their protocol revenue, weighted by their market cap.
Protocol revenue (also called chain revenue) is the fees users pay to a network to execute transactions. The index also explicitly seeks to not include those ****** ets that are speculative or uninvestable, like meme coins. Bitcoin, for its part, was excluded because its fees flow to its miners rather than holders, so it has no protocol revenue.

NEW YORK, July 30 (Reuters) - Coinbase won the dismissal on Thursday of much of a lawsuit in which customers accused the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange of illegally selling securities without registering as an exchange or broker-dealer.
Customers sued over 60 tokens, including XRP and dogecoin, that they claimed were unregistered securities, seeking unspecified damages in the proposed class action.
• U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer in Manhattan dismissed all claims based on "matched" transactions where Coinbase paired customers' buy and sell orders. These accounted for an estimated 99.97% of trading volume, equal to hundreds of billions of dollars.
• The judge also said customers may pursue claims over "inventory" transactions, where Coinbase fills orders from tokens it owns. These accounted for the remaining trading volume, comprising at least $178 million in sales.

Bitcoin faced a fresh downside warning Thursday after economist and longtime crypto critic Peter Schiff said the selloff spreading through technology stocks could eventually reach the broader U.S. market and hit Bitcoin even harder.
"The entire U.S. stock market is overpriced, not just tech. I also expect a much bigger selloff in Bitcoin," Schiff wrote on X as technology names came under pressure.
His warning arrived while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up more than 400 points despite heavier losses across the technology sector. Schiff viewed that split as temporary, arguing that broader indices had not yet absorbed the same correction already moving through higher-valued tech companies.

Hyperscale Data Inc. (NYSE: $GPUS) has begun using part of its bitcoin treasury to fund construction at its Michigan AI data center campus, turning a balance-sheet reserve into capital for a long-term compute buildout.
The company said it has monetized about 100 bitcoin (CRYPTO: $BTC) and directed the proceeds toward construction, critical infrastructure and long-lead equipment tied to a previously announced master services agreement with an unnamed neo-cloud AI infrastructure provider.
That agreement initially covers roughly 20 megawatts of critical AI compute capacity and runs for 10 years, with two five-year extension options. Hyperscale Data expects the contract to generate more than $1.2 billion if it reaches the maximum term.

Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) average spot trading volume fell to roughly $2.2 billion in July, according to K33 Research. That marked the token's weakest trading volume since Nov. 2023.
That chilly sentiment wasn't surprising, since fears of interest rate hikes and other macro headwinds had chilled the broader cryptocurrency market this year. Bitcoin currently trades at about $65,000, which is well below its all-time high of more than $126,000 in Oct. 2025.

Some investors might think that sluggish trading indicates Bitcoin's best days are over. However, I'm not too concerned about the top cryptocurrency's future -- and I believe it will heat up again and set fresh highs once the macroeconomic environment stabilizes.
In Nov. 2021, Bitcoin hit $69,000 amid the buying frenzy in meme stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other speculative investments. But in 2022 and 2023, the Fed's 11 consecutive rate hikes ended that rally, chilled the crypto market, and drove investors to more conservative investments.

FC Barcelona have unveiled their away kit for the 2026/27 season, developed together with Nike and the Kobe brand. The new shirt represents the second chapter of a growing collaboration that highlights a shared competitive mindset.
The shirt and the entire collection combine a black base with a gradient fading into purple at the bottom, along with gold details and graphic elements linked to Kobe Stealth, the identity of the Kobe Bryant brand.
Among the standout details are a print inspired by snakeskin texture, the FC Barcelona crest with an iridescent finish, the Kobe logo on the chest, and a Kobe Bryant quote hidden inside the collar that captures the 'Mamba Mentality': "Leave the game better than you found it".
The launch campaign features players such as Pedri, Gavi, Frenkie De Jong, Alejandro Balde, Ewa Pajor and Patri Guijarro, among others.
The garment has only been presented as a commercial product; its official debut on the pitch has not yet been confirmed. It will arrive during pre-season, coinciding with the first-team's opening fixtures.

Online, Millennials are declaring open revolt against their aging Boomer parents. In actual households across America, they're already doing the caregiving anyway—unpaid, exhausted, and often broke.
A three-year-old Reddit thread from r/BoomersBeingFools went viral again this month, with millions relating to a poster who wrote: "Not an issue, we refuse to take care of you. Old folks home it will be." The post was originally written in response to a Vox article warning Millennials were unprepared for a coming elder-care crisis, and its resurgence this July coincided with the symbolic milestone of the first Boomers turning 80.
As the Wall Street Journal reported, citing demographer William Frey of the Brookings Institution, roughly 4 million Baby Boomers will hit that age this year, the first wave of a 76 million-strong generation. Commenters piled on with grievances about housing costs, student debt, and a dismantled social safety net, arguing their refusal to provide care is simply "a consequence" of decisions Boomers made.
It reads like generational war. But the data shows something quite different is actually happening in most American homes.
Far from opting out, Millennials are quietly becoming a caregiving generation almost by default. According to a Population Reference Bureau fact sheet, the number of family caregivers ****** isting older adults grew 32% between 2011 and 2022, rising from 18.2 million to 24.1 million, and adult children remain the single largest category of family caregiver in America, at 40.7%.

Picture this: It's December 2033. Puerto Rico's "Huracan Azul," ("Blue Hurricane"), the national soccer team in a country better known for baseball, basketball, and boxing, face off against Scotland in the Deutsche Bank Men's World Cup, brought to you by Fanatics—your home for World Cup swag. Until this winter, Puerto Rico had never qualified for a major tournament; Scotland, meanwhile, had never qualified for the knockout round in a World Cup. As the teams kick off play at Saudi Arabia's NEOM, you idly watch, wondering if an upset will take place.
It won't; Scotland quickly score once, twice, three times. The score is 4–0 by the time the referee whistles for the Michelob ULTRA Hydration Break to take place. It's 5–0 at halftime; Puerto Rico scores a consolation goal before the second hydration break, but the Scots hang three more in the final minutes as the game finishes 8–1. As the game ends, bored spectators streaming out, the camera briefly flashes on the luxury boxes. A grinning Gianni Infantino, the FIFA commissioner, mugs obscenely with the Saudi king and other potentates. History, of a kind, has happened.
If you see nothing wrong with this, you're probably either one of Infantino's staffers or a blood relation. Certainly, Infantino thinks such a display would be amazing. According to The Times of London, the FIFA chief is working closely with Thrive Capital's Joshua Kushner (brother of Jared Kushner!) and JP Morgan on a proposition that would all but radically transform the men's and women's World Cups as we know them, and not coincidentally shovel millions into his acquisitive little mittens. The proposal—now roundly condemned by virtually everyone who's heard about it, including Britain's new prime minister—involves creating a private company that would control the World Cups. Each of FIFA's 211 national member ****** ociations would have a financial stake, estimated at around $20 million each. The Times estimates that the company would be valued at around $20 billion.
The report makes for wild reading. Now, stop for a moment. Think of how quickly and quietly this whole thing went from "consultations" to a set of signed, nonbinding agreements. This isn't an idle contrivance, set for a slow burn; banks like JP Morgan and people like Kushner don't engage in that kind of deal. This is a fast-moving plan of action, set in motion before anyone outside of FIFA's holiest of holies in Zurich even knew what was going down.
Suffice it to say: It's a spectacularly bad idea. The pressure to expand the World Cups, to play them every other year, or even annually, would be immense. The arm twisting to turn them into something that would make college bowl season look staid and decorous would be even greater.

The San Francisco 49ers are bringing back an old friend. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel is signing a 1-year deal worth $7 million. This comes after the news that Ricky Pearsall might not play in 2026. Earlier on Thursday we asked what Deebo was up to. We're about to find out.
Deebo needs no introduction. He spent the entireity of his career in the Bay Area before a one-year stint with the Commanders last year. Samuel saw more targets last season than he had since 2021. He finished the season with 72 receptions for 727 yards and five touchdowns.
Most of Deebo's targets came near the line of scrimmage. His average air yards per target was the lowest since 2022, at 5.3. Of those 99 targets, 67 came under 10 yards.
Washington used Samuel primarily as a slot receiver. He ran 260 routes in the slot, compared to 141 out wide. It's worth noting that Samuel also ran 15 routes from the backfield. If the 49ers are looking for somebody to take some of the workload off Christian McCaffrey with Jordan James sidelined, who better than the player who we coined the term "wideback" for?
We're projecting here, but Samuel would likely play in the slot while Stribling gets familiar with "Z." That is, unless Demarcus Robinson or Christian Kirk prove that they can contribute as outside receivers in this offense.

Bitcoin is still in the middle of a bear market. It's trading 49% off its record (as of July 28).
Consequently, Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) is also feeling the pain, with shares 80% below their peak. But the management team gave investors some hope, helping manage what has been a difficult period.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Phong Le, who has been the company's chief executive officer since 2022, said that the most valuable cryptocurrency's price could drop all the way to $8,000-$10,000, about an 86% decline, before causing potential stress on the balance sheet.
Here's why he's right.

Grayscale Research says Hyperliquid's HYPE (CRYPTO: $HYPE) token remains inexpensive beside fintech and crypto stocks, even as shares of its largest public-market treasury vehicle trade lower.
The ****** et manager valued Hyperliquid using "earnings per token," applying an equity-style framework to the protocol's fee generation and token supply. Grayscale expects Hyperliquid to produce roughly $1 billion in earnings in 2027, about 20% above 2025 levels, supported by recovering crypto trading volumes and a new stablecoin revenue stream.
With approximately 270 million HYPE circulating, Grayscale expects supply to reach between 270 million and 310 million tokens by the end of 2027. That would place projected earnings per token between $3.25 and $3.75.

Real Housewives of Orange County alum Jeana Keough is nearing the end of her tongue cancer treatment, but she's making clear the fight is far from over.
According to a report Page Six published Thursday, July 30, Keough, 70, discussed her prognosis via email, writing, "It's upsetting to know that even after all this treatment, I still only have a 40 to 60 percent cure rate within the next five years. We're just praying that I'm on the good side of that coin flip."
She continued, "I can see the finish line now, but I'm hearing it's a long climb to recovery and that I'll likely have the feeding tube for two to six months."

Keough also revealed that her diagnosis was delayed after what she described as a misdiagnosis by her longtime dentist. She stated that she initially sought treatment for a sore on her tongue, but her dentist believed one of her teeth was rubbing against it and repeatedly filed the tooth down over several visits rather than referring her to a specialist or recommending a biopsy.

Our ******* ysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here.
Record revenues were driven by strong underlying demand in traditional high-stakes markets like bankruptcy, antitrust, and investigations, though bottom-line results fell short due to timing gaps in the U.K. and geopolitical disruptions in the Middle East.
The U.K. shortfall is viewed as a temporary 'air pocket' caused by the conclusion of major cases coinciding with the European summer vacation season, delaying the start of new engagements.
Middle East operations face more durable uncertainty as geopolitical instability has led to client purchase suspensions and project start delays, despite a high-quality team being in place.
Management remains committed to aggressive senior talent acquisition, particularly in EMEA, noting that while current revenue growth is in the mid-to-high single digits, the infrastructure is built for higher aspirations.

Stephen Fleming always seems to possess a wonderful sense of timing. It was on 12 July that England made the decision to stand down Brendon McCullum as Test head coach and, in serendipitous circumstances, on 13 July that the man they would come to anoint as his successor began his search for a new job. It was nothing more than mere coincidence that the Chennai Super Kings and Fleming mutually parted ways so soon after his former teammate's departure, but within three days he was expressing interest in the England role in a newspaper interview, and within three weeks impressing the ECB interview panel sufficiently for a hasty appointment after Andy Flower had withdrawn himself from consideration for the role.
Not that Fleming will arrive with undue hustle or hurry; Marcus Trescothick will take interim charge of the three Tests against Pakistan this summer before the 53-year-old begins a four-year deal ahead of the tour to South Africa in December. While Fleming has expressed a desire to spend time with his family, it is a curious situation that again highlights the mistake made by the ECB in not taking the opportunity for a clean break after the Ashes.

One might term this, then, a marriage of convenience – a coach in search of a new challenge taking over a team in need of new direction. On the face of it, Fleming's credentials are modest: there is no red-ball coaching whatsoever on his CV, nor any past suggestion of a desire to turn away from a franchise T20 circuit he was perhaps the first coach to truly master. He had even turned England down in 2009, feeling it was too soon into his coaching career.
