I'm living proof of the saying that "kids keep you young." My wife and I don't need social media. We've got multiple social barometers living in our house. But my usual reaction to every new trend or slang that enters their lexicon ("cooked" and "tuff" have been the new favorites) is skepticism. Before I try to figure out how much attention I need to put into what has them hyped, I try to figure out how serious they are about their enthusiasm.
Sunday's fantasy football action left me in a similar spot. We didn't get many massive box score performances from our stars. Instead, Week 6 was about our mid- and late-round picks or waiver-wire acquisitions. And with some giving us repeat results, the storylines coming out of Sunday should have us adjusting how we approach fantasy free agency on Tuesday.
Both Trevor Lawrence and C.J. Stroud were hooping all morning. They were the perfect pivot from whatever we had to watch on TNF. But as I was watching the Texans offense, a couple of things stood out.
what a throw from Stroud, too. pic.twitter.com/fz4EbOAKvT https://t.co/2MaTqWpPgd
First, Stroud's command of the offense was at an all-time high. Jacksonville came into the game with the 12th-highest pressure rate. Houston had a twofold response. It used an extra lineman on 35.6% of its plays (a season-high), and Stroud was getting rid of the football in 2.31 seconds (a season-low). The result was not only his lowest pressure rate (8.6%) but also his highest EPA per dropback (0.35). More importantly, the Jaguars' defensive measures, which included blitzing Stroud on 31.4% of his dropbacks, didn't stop him from throwing the ball.

Oracle, Microsoft, and Amazon helped push hyperscaler capex past $400 billion in 2025, a figure that exceeded combined operating cash flow for the first time.
Meta and Alphabet fund an AI buildout projected at $9 trillion through 2032, averaging 3.22% of GDP and topping railroads' historic 2.24% share.

Railroads made Cornelius Vanderbilt America's richest person by the 1860s, dying in 1877 with an estate estimated at $95 million to $105 million, larger than U.S. Treasury holdings. By share of GDP, Vanderbilt places third among the richest Americans, behind Rockefeller and Carnegie. Within years, his industry's financing gave way, a warning for today's AI expansion.
The rail network doubled from 35,000 to 70,000 miles between 1865 and 1872, with bonds financing more than three-quarters of it. On September 18, 1873, Jay Cooke's bank failed. The New York Stock Exchange closed for ten days, its first closure ever.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is headed back into solitary confinement, a day after a report described a prison life of massages, smuggled liquor, and contraband phones.
Staff at FCI Fort Dix are returning Combs to the facility's Special Housing Unit, according to TMZ, which was told the move came in direct response to this week's NBC News reporting on his alleged perks. Sources described the placement as typical procedure while prison officials run an investigation.
The report in question drew on four men who spent time in Combs' unit at the New Jersey prison. They said the mogul had other inmates making his bed, doing his laundry, and cleaning his toilet before he used it.
Sources also revealed to NBC News that inmates cooked for him on makeshift heating elements, turning out curry chicken, pizza and empanadas, and that others gave him Chinese-style massages. Thousands of dollars a month allegedly flowed into their commissary accounts.

Aubrey O'Day doubts that being in prison will be effective for her former label head, Diddy.
With reports surfacing that the Bad Boy Records founder, real name Sean Combs, will once again have his prison release pushed up, this time to January 2028, O'Day also reacted to allegations that he's living a pampered life behind bars. According to what several former Fort Dix inmates told NBC News, the 56-year-old has paid to be cleaned and cooked for, along with getting massages.
"Thank you, Chloe [Melas] for doing this investigation," the vocalist posted on X in response to the story. "People should understand the difference between rehabilitation and a ****** vacation. The system is broken- this man will come back a worse criminal."

The report spoke to four men from Diddy's unit. It alleges that the mogul had access to cellphones, antidepressants, and Hennessy.

Sept 14 (Reuters) - Immigration arrests in the U.S. have soared in recent months, aided by more local law enforcement cooperation with ICE, increased use of technology to track and process people, as well as enhanced data sharing between federal agencies.
But the mass arrest campaign this summer did not lead to a commensurate increase in deportations -- according to preliminary U.S. government data reviewed by Reuters -- a reflection of the legal and logistical limits faced by President Donald Trump as he attempts to hit his mass deportation goals.
Even as arrests jumped to nearly 51,000 in August, setting a record for a third straight month, deportation numbers held mostly steady, averaging around 1,200 per day, the preliminary government data showed.
About the same number of people were deported per day in May, for example, when there were around 19,000 fewer arrests, according to arrests data obtained by the Deportation Data Project through a public records request and ****** yzed by Reuters.

Calls to repeal women's rights to vote are emerging from the online firestorm over the Lindsay Clancy trial, prompting Republican women to warn that the intraparty rhetoric could hurt the GOP.
"I think there's definitely a threat in the Republican Party right now," political and legal strategist Mehek Cooke told Fox News Digital.
The online calls to repeal the 19th Amendment come after Clancy's high-profile murder trial ended in a mistrial, with 11 of the 12 jurors favoring a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity. Clancy admitted to killing her three children, but her defense argued she was not criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.

Helen Mirren would rather turn to artificial intelligence than visit the doctor.
The 81-year-old actress revealed she "totally" avoids doctors while speaking to Entertainment Weekly at the Toronto International Film Festival, where she was promoting her new thriller, A Talent for Murder.
Mirren was joined by costars Alden Ehrenreich and Olivia Cooke, who described themselves as hypochondriacs while discussing how they bonded on set.
Mirren, however, joked that she was the "opposite of hypochondria," adding, "I just completely ignore everything."
When Ehrenreich, 36, asked if that meant she avoided doctors, Mirren replied: "Totally deny. I avoid doctors. Oh no, totally. And it's working."

These observations — where I look at Real Madrid's history, its players on loan, Castilla, tactical tidbits, and other relevant thoughts — are now a regular thing. All previous editions can be found here.
Here is a new thing I'm committing to this season: Five semi-informal bullet points after each game.
Also, check out last night's post-game podcast where I break down the loss for 34 minutes:
I'm not pushing a panic ******* on. I realize that what I'm about to say will come across as 'low standards', 'acceptance of mediocrity', 'a moral victory', etc — but I will say it anyway and with my chest: If you replay this game 10 more times, Real Madrid wins it 10 times. We just happened to play the freak version where Kylian Mbappe missed a penalty, three big chances, and then Vinicius missed a big chance, Espi had bad luck, and Real Madrid squandered an xG of nearly four. The math checks out: Real Madrid were mostly good but didn't score, somehow. What should've happened was Real Madrid go up one or two goals by half-time, Bellingham and Güler get a deserved ******* ist each, then Real Betis open up in the second half and get cooked. But also, all that to say: Real Madrid didn't deserve to win just because they created more chances, and I just made up a scenario to make myself feel better — possibly because I feel numb to the way the last two seasons have gone. Also: Real Madrid are generally terrible at the Benito Villamarin in the last few years. But, at some point, you have to stop using past precedence as an excuse to lose. How many league ******* les do Real Madrid have in the past 20 years again? Answer: Not enough.
Another Arda Güler masterclass, wasted. He's basically been lights out in every minute he's played in this season. When I have to repeat this after every Arda Güler performance, that's pretty ******* good evidence that he's one of the best players in Europe right now, and certainly, from an ******* ytical standpoint, clearly one of the best creators on the entire continent.

Sept 1 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department has proposed requiring parents applying for passports for their children to provide proof of their own citizenship or immigration status as part of President Donald Trump's latest effort to limit birthright citizenship.
The draft guidance, reviewed by Reuters, is the first detailed look at how the State Department could enforce Trump's August 6 executive order targeting what it calls "birth tourism" and broadening historical exceptions to birthright citizenship.
The White House referred Reuters questions to the State Department. In a statement, State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said that "President Trump has been unequivocal that this Administration will protect the meaning and value of American citizenship, full stop, and that includes making sure our passport adjudication process fully reflects that standard."
Limiting birthright citizenship has been one of the president's top priorities in his far-reaching crackdown on immigration. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled his previous attempt violated the country's Constitution.

September baseball hits differently. Every pitch feels heavier, and a single bad inning can completely derail an entire season. Over the decades, these high-stakes pennant chases haven't just thrilled fans, they've reshaped how MLB runs and how we watch the game.
These pressure-cooker games have done far more than just decide who makes it to October. Over time, they've pushed MLB to tweak its rules, upgrade TV broadcasts and rethink how it builds the regular-season schedule. Many things we take for granted today were born right in the middle of these late-season games.
MORE: Before they were legends: Best rookie breakthroughs in MLB pennant races since 2000
TV networks learned to bounce between live games at lightning speed, split-screen viewing became a standard, and managers completely changed how they handle bullpens when every single out is on the line. Even the playoff brackets and final-week scheduling evolved because of lessons learned during classic September drama.
That's what makes the final stretch of the season so special. Here are five pennant-race moments to remember.

Chris Sale is a consummate ace. It seems unlikely that anyone would contest this at this point, but if they ever do… just point 'em at this game. In a marquee pitching matchup that featured Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the other side, it was Sale and the Braves that prevailed, as the grizzled southpaw gave Atlanta its first complete game shutout since Max Fried's performance in a 5-0 win over the Marlins in April 2024.
This one, though, was a lot tighter. In fact, there was only one run scored in this game… and it came on the first pitch Yamamoto delivered to a Braves batter. That pitch was a hanging splitter, and Drake Baldwin was either expecting a get-me-over or just did an excellent job if he wasn't, launching an absolute no-doubter Chop House-ward for a solo shot. No one else crossed the plate in this game, or even got close to crossing the plate.
That said, this game was about Chris Sale. It was kind of the Chris Sale Game, except that really, he gives you a superlative performance so often that many games are the Chris Sale Game. Against an offense that ranks first or second in pretty much everything, he showed up, showed out, and dominated. He was actually pretty close to a Maddux (shutout on fewer than 100 pitches) until some drama late.
He breezed through the first on nine pitches, with a strikeout, two first-pitch groundouts, and a soft single by Mookie Betts. He struck out two more in the second, working around an overcooked slider that grazed Alex Call on the toe with two outs. He struck out the side on 12 pitches in the third: two three-pitch strikeouts sandwiching a longer plate appearance by Shohei Ohtani. In the fourth, Betts led off with a no-man's land bloop that went for a double (and nearly got Betts thrown out as he took a big turn around second and had to scramble back to the bag). Not to worry, Sale threw just seven more pitches to end the inning, with a couple of easy flyouts chased down by his defense around a strikeout.
Two more quick outs started the fifth, before catcher Ben Rortvedt knocked a liner to left for a single. That brought up Shohei Ohtani, and Sale delivered his outing in microcosm against one of the game's best: he got ahead with a get-me-over fastball, then painted two perfect fastballs on the outer edge. Neither was called a strike, neither was challenged by Baldwin behind the dish. So, Sale got Ohtani to graze a slider, and then obliterated him with 100 mph about chin-high. Then he went back to business as usual in the sixth: another three-pitch strikeout, two other quick field outs.

WEST LONG BRANCH -- There was theme among the songs that blared through the speakers at Kessler Stadium as Monmouth football practice got started Tuesday morning: Tennessee.
The Osborne Brothers' classic rendition of Rocky Top was the soundtrack for the opening stretches. It's a reminder that this is no longer training camp, it's game week. There are just a few days until No. 23 Monmouth will travel to Cookeville to take on No. 15 Tennessee Tech in a rare season-opening matchup of top 25 teams in the FCS. And the Hawks didn't waste anytime beginning to attack that challenge, going straight from stretch lines to 11-on-11 reps of hurry-up offense.
"It's a group that's got something to prove," Monmouth head coach Jeff Gallo said. "This team has something to prove as a collective unit. It's got talent, it's got ability, but it's about our ability every day to keep elevating the standard of our program and push that championship level on a daily basis."
No. 23 Monmouth football vs. No. 15 Tennessee Tech in Week 0: preview
The Hawks' first matchup is a chance to prove that they are at that championship level—or that more work is needed to reach it. Monmouth is on the national radar once again with a preseason top 25 ranking, but that could quickly slip away with a loss, or surge dramatically with a win.

TG Therapeutics (TGTX) shares soared on Aug 21 as speculation emerged that the biotech firm could be the target of a potential takeover. Investors cheered TGTX following an "uncooked" alert from Betaville, suggesting a U.S. biopharma company with a market cap between $20 billion and $40 billion may be interested in acquiring TG Therapeutics.

Chicago Bears training camp is in full swing ahead of the 2026 regular season. Under second-year head coach Ben Johnson, the Bears are looking to build on their success from last year and keep pace in a crowded NFC with important meetings and practices at Halas Hall.
Thursday's practice was a breath of fresh air as the Bears traveled to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals for a joint practice ahead of their preseason game this weekend. It was a back-and-forth affair with each team's offense trading blows, while their defenses stepped up in key moments.
Following every Bears training camp practice, we at Bears Wire will highlight the top players who stood out on the field. Here are the players who stood out from the joint practice:
Thursday's practice was the first time quarterback Caleb Williams had faced a different defense than his own since the divisional playoffs and he gave the Bengals defense fits while impressing the Cincinnati media in attendance. FOX 19's Jeremy Rauch said Williams "cooked" during 7-on-7 drills. The Bears quarterback delivered touchdowns to wide receivers Rome Odunze and Kaden Davis, along with a strike to tight end Colston Loveland (more on him in a bit) in 11-on-11s. His score to Odunze came while on the move to his left as the receiver broke free.
It wasn't perfect by any means, though. Williams threw a pair of picks and got sacked near the end of practice. But NBC 5 Cincinnati's Charlie Clifford jotted Williams' stats and had him completing 16-of-26 passes, including 10 straight in 11-on-11 drills. Meanwhile, Bengals star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, who intercepted Williams, called him a "special quarterback" after the practice. Clearly, Williams made a strong impression on the Bengals beat with some strong throws.

On Monday came the stunning news that five of the six Buss family siblings had voted to sell their remaining share of the Los Angeles Lakers that they hadn't sold to Mark Walter last year. They agreed to sell that remaining stake to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger, who had already agreed to purchase Walter's majority share last week.
The lone dissenter among the Buss siblings is Jeanie Buss, the governor of the team. The other five issued a statement on Tuesday reiterating their decision to sell, per ESPN.
"The Los Angeles Lakers have never been just a basketball team. They have been one of the greatest privileges of our lives," the Buss family said in a statement to ESPN's Shams Charania on Tuesday. "Our focus has always been on what we believe is best for the Lakers, the fans who have supported this franchise for generations and the greater Los Angeles community.
"Johnny, Jimmy, Janie, Joey and Jesse have made the decision to sell the family's remaining stake, and we remain united in that decision. We intend to move forward thoughtfully, respectfully and through the appropriate process."
It was Dr. Jerry Buss, the late father of the six Buss siblings, who first purchased the Lakers from Jack Kent Cooke in 1979. In the 34 years he owned the team, it won 10 NBA championships and reached the NBA Finals 16 times, transforming it from a bridesmaid franchise into the gold standard of basketball.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans exited Tuesday's joint practice with the Los Angeles Chargers with a left foot/ankle injury.
Evans, who joined the 49ers in free agency after a legendary stint with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has been dealing with a quadriceps injury throughout training camp.
ESPN's Nick Wagoner revealed that Evans pulled up during practice and then had his left foot/ankle wrapped and iced as he watched the rest of the session from the sidelines.
NFL fans on X had mixed reactions to Evans' latest injury. One fan hit the panic ******* on about the wide receiver's first season in San Francisco.
"Ya, Mike Evans is cooked this season," they predicted.

With all the celebrity breakups that have already gone down this year (Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke! Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes! Karol G and Feid!), it's hard to believe that love is even real anymore, right? Wrong. From friends turned lovers (hi, Kim and Lewis) to brand-new love matches (looking at you, Dakota and Role Model), love is in the air, and I am here for it.
If you, like me, simply cannot get enough, then it's time to take a journey down a romance rabbit hole of all the celebrity couples who've debuted their relationships in 2026—and are still going strong! Will any of these couples make it to 2027? It's too soon to say. But I'm down to start taking bets. (And while you're here: Feel free to revisit all the brand-new celeb couples that came out of 2025.)
Fans were thrilled when Katie was first spotted holding hands with artist Jason Bard Yarmosky—and as it turns out, this thing may be more than a fling!
The two have already made their first red carpet appearance together, so stay tuned for more updates as I have them.

In the whirlwind of Hollywood, it's rare to find celebrity couples where one half remains quietly out of the limelight. These accomplished actresses have managed to maintain thriving careers while their husbands steer clear of cameras, red carpets — and relentless headlines.

Jennifer Lawrence may command attention with every role she takes, but her personal life remains refreshingly private, especially thanks to her husband, a gallery director who avoids the Hollywood flashbulbs. Her husband, Cooke Maroney, has served as director-at-large from 2022-2025, as reported by Artnet.

Margot Robbie is known for leading big-screen blockbusters, but her relationship with her producer husband, Tom Ackerley, is kept mostly out of the public eye. The pair launched their production agency, LuckyChap Entertainment, in 2014 before tying the knot two years later, according to Today.

EAU CLAIRE, Wisconsin, Aug 10 (Reuters) - When she's not trekking across Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District to meet voters, Democratic congressional challenger Rebecca Cooke is still on her feet, waiting tables at two restaurants around Eau Claire, a city of about 73,000 people surrounded by rolling farmland.
"When you're serving people at a restaurant, it's almost like you're knocking doors every time you're waiting a table," said Cooke, who is trying to flip one of a shrinking number of highly competitive seats in the U.S. House of Representatives in November's midterm elections that could end Republican control of Congress.
Cooke doesn't get into deep political conversations as she takes orders, she said, but customers do sometimes recognize her and tell her about issues they care about, occasionally writing notes of support on receipts. She keeps the best ones in a folder on her phone.
Each of those tableside moments could be a difference-maker for Cooke, 38, the Democratic frontrunner in Tuesday's primary. If victorious, she will head to a rematch with Republican incumbent Derrick Van Orden, who was elected in 2022, in what's expected to be a tight race that could turn on how President Donald Trump's policies have affected rural voters.

Klay Thompson spotted with mystery woman following Megan Thee Stallion split originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Klay Thompson was spotted with a mystery woman over the weekend, months after his breakup with Megan Thee Stallion.
The Dallas Mavericks star was seen with a woman at the Orange County Fair Saturday night, Aug. 8. According to TMZ, a security guard was with them at the event. In a video posted by the outlet, the two are seen sitting down as they enjoyed the concert, and Thompson was seen drinking from a flask.
An eyewitness told the outlet that there was no PDA between the two. At this time, it's unclear the nature of the pair's relationship.
Before the news that Thompson was spotted with a mystery woman, the four-time NBA champion was dating Megan Thee Stallion. The two dated for about nine months and were seen supporting one another at NBA games and Megan's Pete & Thomas Fundraiser back in July 2025. The then-couple would often recap their dates on the golf course, working out at the gym, and on his boat. Megan even cooked Thanksgiving dinner for Thompson and his family, and the NBA star's parents raved about it.

A potentially deadly "flesh-eating" bacteria has killed five people in Louisiana this year, a sharp rise from the state's typical death toll.
Health officials are warning beachgoers to take extra precautions before heading into the water.
Vibrio vulnificus is part of a wider group of Vibrio bacteria. Found primarily in warm, coastal waters, it can cause serious, potentially life-threatening infections when contaminated seawater enters an open wound, according to the CDC.

Infections can also occur when someone eats raw or undercooked shellfish, especially oysters.

Aug 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Thursday in a new but narrower attempt to curtail birthright citizenship, once again challenging a provision of the U.S. Constitution even though the Supreme Court rejected his previous effort.
Limiting birthright citizenship has been one of the top priorities in the Republican president's crackdown on immigration, with the White House taking particular aim at what it calls "birth tourism," in which pregnant foreigners travel to the U.S. to give birth.
After his June 30 setback in the Supreme Court, Trump called on Congress to act, but on Thursday he opted for executive orders, which set policy but do not carry the same weight as laws passed by Congress.
The Supreme Court had struck down as unconstitutional Trump's earlier executive order, which targeted a wide swath of immigrants in the country illegally or temporarily.

Aug. 6—CHAMPAIGN — Aidan Laughery wouldn't mind if the Illinois running backs group he belongs to started wearing the same helmet cameras the Illini quarterbacks have sported this week in training camp.
Brandon Henderson likes the idea, too, but the Illinois offensive lineman understands it wouldn't be all that feasible for his position group. One play, one clash on the line with his defensive counterpart, and that camera would likely be returned in pieces to director of video Joe Maggio.
"They might be broken before they even start," Henderson said.
"They threw up a clip in the team meeting of the quarterback's view," Laughery added. "I think it's awesome. It gives those guys a chance to watch film and let us see what they're seeing. It ain't so easy."
Mounting a small camera on a quarterback's helmet isn't something Illinois offensive coordinator Barry Lunney Jr. cooked up this offseason. It's been done before, including when Lunney was tight ends coach for Bret Bielema at Arkansas.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain says the Celtic "pressure cooker" is the ideal environment for him to thrive.
The England international signed a short-term deal with the Parkhead club in February and helped them win a league and Scottish Cup double last season.
The 32-year-old signed a new deal earlier this summer and is hungry for more success, starting with Monday's Scottish Premiership opener against Dundee.
"When the opportunity to come here last year came up, the fact that it was going to be a challenge, I really enjoyed that," he said.
"The idea of just trying to do whatever I could to give some experience or, at times, a few moments of quality that could help the lads go on to achieve what we did. The way it ended up was like dreamland stuff.

July 30 - Christian Garcia admits that he threw a water bottle toward officers guarding a federal building near Los Angeles during an immigration protest last summer.
The plastic bottle was empty, he said, and hit no one but Garcia himself – the wind blew it back at him. Yet Garcia, a 32-year-old amateur photographer, was arrested by agents, jailed for three days and charged with a crime that could have kept him in prison for up to a year. He said he lost both of his jobs, as a security guard and an undercover shopper, after his bosses told him they had been called by investigators.
Then, with no public explanation, prosecutors dropped the case.
The Trump administration has brought criminal charges against at least 851 people accused of attacking or impeding federal officers, only to abandon them at an unusually high rate. A Reuters review of federal court records found that 31% of these cases that have been completed so far have ended in dismissal. That compares to 8% of all federal criminal cases that typically end in dismissal, according to records compiled by the Federal Judicial Center.

July 28 (Reuters) - Aurora's 6-year-old daughter arrived at the U.S. border alone and spent more than half a year in a child migrant shelter while her mother, who was already in the country, worked to get her out.
The two were finally reunited in late March.
"We were overjoyed," said Aurora, 24, who like others in this story spoke on the condition they be identified only by their first names.
Days later, however, mother and daughter were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and sent to a family detention center in Texas, records show.

Danny DeVito recently opened up about how he and estranged wife Rhea Perlman have found a way to make their relationship work despite living apart for nearly a decade.
"We're always over at her house. We see the grandchildren together, that kind of stuff. So that's a good relationship," the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star, 81, told AARP in an interview published on Wednesday, July 29.
DeVito and Perlman, now 78, first met in 1971. He was acting in an off-Broadway play at the time and she saw the show with a friend. The two quickly hit it off.
"We liked off-Broadway stuff. We went to movies all the time. We made little movies together — short films," he told the publication. "We had a lot in common, and we fell in love. A nice Jewish girl from Brooklyn and an Italian from New Jersey: I cooked, and she ate."
The Cheers alum and DeVito dated for more than 10 years before officially tying the knot in 1982. During their time together, they welcomed three children – Lucy, 43, Gracie, 41, and Jake, 38.
