The Monster Jam monster truck stunt show is back in Jacksonville. Eventgoers can expect big trucks doing big tricks all weekend long.
Typically, this event is held at Everbank Stadium, but because of the Stadium of the Future construction, it's been moved.
Truckloads of dirt were wheeled into Vystar, but the big wheels everyone is interested in are 12,000-pound monster trucks!
"There's nothing like taking a 12,000-pound truck and doing a backflip into a nose wheel combo or something crazy like that," said monster truck driver Tony Ochs.
The Saturday and Sunday event features driver competitions in three categories: Racing, 2 Wheel Skills and Freestyle. Some of the stunts include back flips and vertical two-wheel tricks.

The London Company, an investment management company, released its second-quarter 2026 investor letter for its "Small-Mid Cap Strategy." The letter can be downloaded here. U.S. equities rebounded sharply in Q2, with the Russell 3000 gaining 15.4%, supported by AI infrastructure spending, strong earnings, and easing Middle East tensions. Technology led the rally as semiconductors recovered, while Energy and defensive sectors lagged. The portfolio returned 12.1% gross and 11.8% net compared with a 20.3% gain in the Russell 2500 Index. Stock selection weighed on relative performance, as high-beta and high-volatility stocks dominated returns while Quality remained weak, although results improved in June as market participation broadened. Looking ahead, resilient earnings and AI productivity support a constructive outlook, but negative hyperscaler cash flow, sticky inflation, geopolitical risks, index concentration, and elevated valuations warrant caution. The strategy continues to emphasize quality, downside protection, and active management. Additionally, reviewing the Fund's top five holdings could also highlight its best ideas for 2026.

Zillow Group (NASDAQ: ZG) resolved its antitrust lawsuit with the Federal Trade Commission and five state attorneys general on Monday, heading off a federal trial scheduled to begin this week. The settlement removes an unpredictable legal overhang while leaving Zillow's rentals strategy fully intact.
The agreement keeps Zillow's multifamily distribution partnership with Redfin in place through at least 2030. Listings will continue to syndicate across a combined network that includes Zillow, Trulia, HotPads, Rent.com, ApartmentGuide, Redfin, and Realtor.com.
The network gives property managers a direct alternative to CoStar Group's Apartments.com, which has long commanded the lion's share of institutional multifamily ad dollars. By pooling distribution across Zillow, Redfin, and partner sites, landlords get multi-portal reach through a single contract, while renters see a broader pool of listings on whichever app they open.

Since syndication launched, multifamily listings on Redfin have nearly quadrupled, while Zillow's own multifamily inventory rose roughly 40%. In the second quarter of 2026, Zillow hit a record 79,000 multifamily properties and averaged 2.8 million monthly active rental listings, pushing quarterly rental revenue up 31% year over year to $209 million, led by a 42% surge in multifamily ad sales, putting pressure on Apartments.com's value proposition and pricing structure.

Zillow and Redfin have reached a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and five states, ending a legal fight over a 2025 partnership that the FTC claimed hurt competition in the rental-listing market. The settlement was announced on Monday, just as the case was scheduled to head toward trial this morning.
The case stems from a deal announced last year in which Redfin agreed to display Zillow's rental listings on its websites rather than compete directly with Zillow for rental advertisers. The arrangement could have kept Redfin out of the rental advertising business for as long as nine years. Redfin owns Rent.com and ApartmentGuide.com, two major rental-listing platforms.
According to the FTC and attorneys general from Arizona, Connecticut, New York, Virginia, and Washington, Zillow agreed to pay Redfin $100 million to keep Redfin from competing with Zillow.
The companies defended the partnership as a way to give renters access to a larger pool of listings. The FTC, however, argued that Zillow was paying one of its largest competitors to stop competing, potentially allowing the company to charge higher prices and provide less favorable terms to property managers. It could have also reduced the quality of rental listings available to consumers.
Under the proposed settlement, Redfin will be required to reenter the rental advertising business. The order also removes restrictions that previously limited Redfin's ability to compete independently for property-management customers.

BOSTON (AP) — Eli White slid headfirst into the plate with the winning run to complete a three-run ninth-inning rally, a play that was upheld after a review, and the Boston Red Sox got to twice celebrate their 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night.
Wilyer Abreu hit a hard grounder that first baseman Bryce Eldridge made a diving stop on, then threw home for an attempted force, but White was ruled safe by umpire James Hoye, setting off a celebration. The Giants challenged the call on the field and the call stood after a video review, prompting a second celebration.
Willy Adames hit a solo homer over the Green Monster for the Giants, who lost for the 10th time in 13 games.
Dylan Smith had escaped a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the eighth before Boston rallied against Sam Hentges (1-6), tying it on Nick Sogard's RBI double down the left-field line after pinch-hitter White had a run-scoring single.
Wyatt Olds (1-0) earned the win.

Brown Brothers Harriman, an investment management company, released its Q2 2026 investor letter for the "BBH Select Mid Cap ETF". A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. In the quarter, the fund increased 9.7% on a total return basis compared to the Russell Midcap Index's 13.8% return. Artificial intelligence is a key factor influencing market performance, with high-valuation and high-beta companies consistently outperforming others. The portfolio saw gains from being overweight in technology and industrials but missed opportunities due to underweighting more cyclical stocks. At the end of Q2 2026, the Fund held positions in 27 companies, with 48% of **** ets concentrated in the top 10 holdings. The Fund's strategy focuses on companies priced below intrinsic value to ensure a margin of safety, rather than on whether valuations are high or low. Additionally, reviewing the Fund's top five holdings could help identify its best picks for 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, BBH Select Series – Mid Cap ETF highlighted Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTG). Headquartered in Billerica, Massachusetts, Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTG) provides materials and process solutions for the semiconductor and other high-technology industries. On August 19, 2026, Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTG) closed at $144.28 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $22.05 billion. Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTG) posted a one‑month return of 6.64%, while its shares gained 75.76% over the past 52 weeks.
BBH Select Series – Mid Cap ETF stated the following regarding Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTG) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"For the quarter, the Fund's largest positive contributors were Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTG) and Arista Networks Inc. (Arista), both clear beneficiaries of the AI infrastructure buildout. Entegris returned 53.5% during the quarter, ending with a weight of 6.4%. Entegris is a key supplier to the semiconductor industry of essential filtration products, materials, and related delivery equipment that enables the high precision fabrication of semiconductor chips. Entegris reported strong first quarter 2026 results and provided second quarter guidance above consensus with accelerating growth in second and third quarter 2026. This matches an upgraded view of industry end markets, with wafer volumes now expected to grow mid- to-high-single digits for 2026 and fab construction to grow high-single digits, both of which were low-single digits expectations just last quarter. Relatively new CEO Dave Reeder indicated a focus on gross margins when he started, and that is evident from the substantial im provement in first quarter 2026 that is expected to continue over the year. Gross margin of 46.9% was significantly above guidance of 44.5-45.5% and increased 310 basis points (bps)1 from fourth quarter 2025. Lastly, Entegris now aims to bring net leverage to 3.0x by year end, driven by robust free cash flow of at least $450m."

Logan Webb yielded one run on four hits and a walk over eight innings for the Giants, throwing 100 pitches.

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie recently reignited the simmering Major League Baseball Pride Night controversy, publicly rebuking Giants players who altered or refused to wear rainbow-themed caps — even as a federal investigation into the league’s handling of players’ religious objections remains active.
At a Pride Month fundraiser, Lurie publicly criticized the players who chose not to wear the rainbow uniforms or who spoke out against them – a story The Dallas Express has been covering since June.
A Recap of The Controversy
The issue began June 12, when three Giants pitchers – Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker – wrote a Bible verse, Genesis 9:12-16, on their Pride Night caps, which featured the team’s rainbow-colored logo. The passage the pitchers referenced describes God setting a rainbow in the sky as a sign of his covenant with Noah after the flood.
A fourth reliever, Sam Hentges, declined to wear the special cap altogether, opting for the team’s standard logo cap.

June 23 (UPI) -- A communication "lapse" by the San Francisco Giants led to players writing Bible verses on their Pride Night hats, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said.
Manfred spoke about the issue through a letter sent Friday to Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo. Hawley posted the letter Monday night on social media. The Giants did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
MLB issued warnings to several Giants players last week, pointing to uniform-related rules violations committed during their 5-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs on June 12 in San Francisco.
Giants pitchers Landen Roupp, J.T. Brubaker and Ryan Walker had placed Biblical references on their hats. Fellow pitcher Sam Hentges wore a plain black Giants cap instead of a Pride Night one.
The collective bargaining agreement between MLB and the MLBPA states that players who violate uniform regulations will first receive warnings, specifying that they will be subject to further discipline if they do not "immediately cease violating" the regulations. Writing messages on apparel is among the violations listed in the agreement.

Major League Baseball (MLB) found itself mired in controversy this past week after three San Francisco Giants players—Landen Roupp, J.T. Brubaker, and Ryan Walker—inscribed Bible verses on their hats that had been designed for the team's Pride night. Another, Sam Hentges, declined to wear the hat altogether. Whether people were mad at the players for their lack of pride or at the team and league for their alleged abundance of pride depends on vantage point. But people were mad.
Put differently, we are living in Groundhog Day, but make it gay. We've had this fight before. Around and around we have gone. A lot of people are wrong. So why are we still doing this?
The MLB may be wondering the same thing. "We have told teams, in terms of actual uniforms, hats, bases that we don't think putting logos on them is a good idea just because of the desire to protect players," said MLB commissioner Rob Manfred in 2023, "not putting them in a position of doing something that may make them uncomfortable because of their personal views." The Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers, however, have continued incorporating the Pride uniforms because of a standing agreement.
This fight is not constrained to the outfield or the infield or the minefield-ridden culture war battlefield. "I write with grave concern over your reported decision to issue a formal warning to three Major League Baseball (MLB) players for publicly expressing their Christian faith," Sen. Josh Hawley (R–Mo.) said in a letter to Manfred. "You must answer for what appears to be a pattern of discrimination within MLB against baseball players who profess their Christian faith." The senator was joined by other government actors promising to intervene, including the U.S. Department of Justice's Harmeet Dhillon, who referred the league to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for an investigation.
"This routine verbal warning not to wear the hat in future games is not disciplinary and had absolutely nothing to do with the content of the message," the league said in a statement. "We respect players' right to free expression. However, writing of any kind, with any message, is prohibited per Major League Baseball's uniform regulations….We have given the same warning numerous times in the past to players for messages such as 'Dad,' 'Happy Mother's Day, I Love Mom' and names of family members."

A handful of San Francisco Giants players caused a stir on the internet over the weekend when they quietly protested the franchise’s celebration of Gay Pride. The Giants wore caps sporting a rainbow edition of the Giants’ iconic “SF,” and several players had strong responses.
Some players wrote scripture verses from the bible on the hats, while pitcher Sam Hentges took an even harder stance, refusing to wear the cap at all. The Athletic’s Grant Brisbee took exception to the players’ antics and made that clear in a piece he published for the outlet.
“… This was another tone-deaf response to what should have been a moment for community unity,” he wrote. “They made the night about ‘us versus them.’ That’s the only thing they could see.”
“Some of that progress was made when events like Pride Night became commonplace, reminding the world of a community’s existence, strength and humanity,” he added. “Events like Pride Night reduce suffering in a very real way. To suggest they don’t is to ignore the humanity of the individuals involved.”
Brisbee implored the players to do better for the vulnerable members of their community.
