Before we get worried about recessions or market crashes, let's put a 10% drop in context. Going back to 1980, the S&P 500 has fallen 10% or more in roughly half of all calendar years, and a correction of that size has historically shown up about once every 12 to 18 months.
What makes a 10% decline packed into a single month unusual isn't the size of the drop, it's the speed: that kind of compressed move tends to show up during sudden shocks rather than the slower grind most corrections take. Even so, it's happened before, and the market has recovered every time.
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 »
My goal here isn't to predict whether October brings one. It's to point to three consumer businesses whose underlying demand doesn't particularly care what the stock market does that month.
Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) makes Tide, Pampers, Crest, and Gillette. These products are the kind of household basics people buy again almost automatically, recession or not. That steadiness shows up in the numbers. P&G generated more than $87 billion in revenue in its 2026 fiscal year and returned over $15 billion to shareholders through dividends and buybacks.

Macklemore on Wednesday pledged to donate the "entire $1 million" of his net earnings from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to Palestinian relief organizations, days after he was dropped from the tour over his pro-Palestinian comments.
He also invited New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who said Macklemore wouldn't be welcome at Gillette Stadium for the tour's scheduled performances at the end of September, to match his donation. Within hours, Kraft released a statement saying Sheeran had already asked him to match his $2 million donation to humanitarian aid in the region.
Their statements come amid a growing controversy following Macklemore's removal that has seen all of Sheeran's supporting acts quit the tour. Sheeran is set to play in Philadelphia this weekend.
Sheeran broke his silence about Macklemore's removal from the tour on Tuesday, saying it wasn't his decision but the promoter's. Macklemore's contract for the tour was with the promoter, Sheeran said.
Here's how the controversy began — and how it continues to unfold.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft told Ed Sheeran that he couldn't let Macklemore perform at Gillette Stadium over his stance on Palestine. He has now released a statement explaining why.
The new NFL season is underway, and the New England Patriots started out with a loss against the Seattle Seahawks in a Super Bowl rematch.
However, attention has quickly turned away from the court to start this week. Patriots owner Robert Kraft was named by artist Macklemore as someone who asked Ed Sheeran to not let him perform at the Gillette Stadium.
Now, Kraft has released a statement explaining his side of the issue.

Amid the news that Macklemore has been dropped as an opener from Ed Sheeran's North American tour, the rapper has alleged that New England owner Robert Kraft intervened to get him removed.
In a lengthy statement posted on Instagram, Macklemore alleged that Kraft had called Sheeran ahead of the singer's concert at Gillette Stadium, which is owned by Kraft. In what Macklemore called a "f***ed up position" for Sheeran, Kraft allegedly barred Macklemore from performing in the stadium and had "rallied" other stadium owners to issue an "ultimatum."
"Last Monday, in the middle of all the media attention surrounding Pink and what I said at MetLife, Ed told me that Robert Kraft called him," Macklemore wrote. "Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium. Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues."
Macklemore opened for Sheeran on Sept. 4 and 5 at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium. During his performance, Macklemore called for a "Free Palestine" in a speech before performing his song "Hind's Hall," which was written in support of pro-Palestine protests. The performance drew criticism from many, including singer P!nk, and received a significant amount of media attention.
Macklemore, whose real name is Benjamin Haggerty, has been vocal about his support for Palestine in recent years, something that he said challenged Sheeran's "typical apolitical stance."

Mike Vrabel used his weekly Monday appearance on The Greg Hill Show on Sportsradio 93.7 WEEI to work back through New England's 13-10 loss in Seattle, and the players he chose to talk about were three rookies who had never taken an NFL snap before Sept. 9: tight end Eli Raridon, edge rusher Gabe Jacas and linebacker Namdi Obiazor.
Raridon, the third-round pick out of Notre Dame, caught a two-yard touchdown from Drake Maye that produced the first points of the 2026 NFL season. He played 38 offensive snaps, 54 percent of New England's total, working as the second tight end behind Hunter Henry.
Jacas, taken 55th overall out of Illinois after the Patriots sent three picks to the Los Angeles Chargers to move up, came off a double team for his first career sack and later added a tackle for loss.
Obiazor, a sixth-round pick from TCU, opened the game with a hit on the kickoff and played 20 special teams snaps without seeing a defensive one.

The New England Patriots have plenty of questions to answer before the season opener; however, one of them is hiding in plain sight. Who actually wants the kickoff return job?
Special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer is not ready to give anyone the ***** le. The Patriots have several players capable of handling returns, and Springer made it clear that the final decision could come down to something as simple as who is active on game day.

Springer was asked about the Patriots' kickoff returner and refused to put a name on it. Instead, he pointed to the number of options on the roster and said the decision will depend partly on the active list each week. That keeps one of the team's special-teams jobs unsettled heading into the regular season.
That answer is pretty telling. The Patriots are not necessarily looking for one player to handle every kickoff. With roster spots changing from week to week, the Patriots can afford to keep the competition open and choose from multiple return-capable players depending on the matchup and overall game-day personnel.

The New England Patriots are still trying to find a resolution to Christian Gonzalez's contract situation before the NFL season begins, and head coach Mike Vrabel is making it clear that he wants to help get a deal done.
However, Vrabel also understands that there is a line he cannot cross when it comes to negotiations between the Patriots and their star cornerback. With the regular season opener against the Seattle Seahawks just days away, the situation has become increasingly important for New England.

A.J. Brown did not have to wait long to find out how Mike Vrabel was going to handle him in the New England Patriots. The head coach made that clear in one of their first team meetings, and Brown quickly learned that his reputation was not going to buy him much patience.
That probably is not a bad thing for a receiver; the Patriots just made one of its biggest investments in. Brown arrived with a proven track record and big expectations; however, Vrabel has already shown he's willing to get on him when a play isn't finished the way it should be.

Vrabel did not waste much time reminding Brown why the Patriots brought him to New England. During one of Brown's first team meetings with the Patriots, Vrabel called out the veteran receiver after a missed opportunity in practice. It was not some dramatic confrontation but Vrabel making it clear that Brown is going to be held to the same standard as everyone else, maybe an even higher one.
"A.J., obviously those are plays we expect, that you expect. This is why we signed up to be together, okay? For you to make those types of plays. Yeah, we all know that.

Following their preseason finale on Thursday, the New England Patriots received a needed weekend off as the front office dwindled the roster down to 53 players.
That group was back at Gillette Stadium on Tuesday for their first regular season practice in preparation for the Seattle Seahawks.
As they did, they remained without running back TreVeyon Henderson after the second-year back suffered an ankle injury early last week. Henderson was present in the locker room in good spirits and walking normally, but has not yet fully been cleared to return to work.
The only other non-participant on the roster was tight end Cameron Latu, who was claimed off of waivers on Monday. Latu was in the locker room ahead of practice after just arriving to the team.
Fellow waiver claim, Darius Muasau, was on the practice field.

Detroit's defense intercepted 13 passes last season, tied for 11th in the NFL. Four of those came from cornerbacks, and D.J. Reed accounted for two of them.
Carter Bahns and Zachary Pereles of CBS Sports named the Lions on Thursday among five potential landing spots for New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez, alongside the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Commanders, New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Terrion Arnold, the 24th pick of the 2024 draft, was released by Detroit in June while facing felony charges he has denied, and he agreed to terms with Seattle this month. Reed inherited the No. 1 job, and the group behind him has been shuffled and interrupted by injuries throughout camp.
Tim Twentyman wrote in the club's own training camp position preview in last month that "the Arnold release hurts Detroit's depth at the position," adding it would not surprise him if general manager Brad Holmes added to the spot before the regular season. That went up five weeks before Gonzalez's name entered the conversation, written by someone the team employs.

The New England Patriots officially revealed on Tuesday that they will wear their 'Nor'easter' uniforms on December 6 against the Buffalo Bills.
The Patriots debuted their rivalry uniforms during the Thursday Night Football game against the New York Jets last November. The theme was inspired by New England's coastal weather and maritime history. The uniforms were a big hit with Patriots fans, and now the team will don them once again in a pivotal AFC East clash with the rival Bills.
It could be a game with serious playoff implications given the timing. The rivalry was brought back to life with the Patriots' emergence as Super Bowl contenders last season. Both teams tied the regular season series at one game apiece.
The Patriots blew a 21-point lead in a loss to the Bills at Gillette Stadium last season. So they'll clearly be looking for revenge at home later this year.
However, the two teams will meet for the first time in Week 4 of the 2026 season at the new Highmark Stadium at Orchard Park.

The New England Patriots are saving one of their boldest uniform combinations for one of their biggest games of the 2026 season.
New England will bring back its "Nor'easter" Rivalries uniform for its Week 13 home matchup against the Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium.
ESPN's Mike Reiss first shared the uniform decision Tuesday, citing information from the Patriots Pro Shop. The NFL later included New England's Dec. 6 meeting with Buffalo in its complete Nike x NFL Rivalries schedule.
The Patriots debuted the storm-inspired alternate against the New York Jets last season. Its next appearance will come against a Buffalo team that has become New England's most meaningful divisional rival.

ESPN Sounds Alarm On Patriots After Historic 2025 Turnaround originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New England Patriots authored one of the NFL's most remarkable transformations last season. Mike Vrabel took over a team that had finished 4-13 in consecutive years and immediately guided it to a 14-3 record, an AFC East championship and an appearance in Super Bowl LX. New England's 10-win improvement tied the largest single-season jump in NFL history.
Repeating that success could prove even more difficult than achieving it the first time.
ESPN's Bill Barnwell included the Patriots in his annual breakdown of the NFL teams most likely to decline during the 2026 season. That prediction might sound harsh after New England strengthened its roster over the offseason. In reality, it says as much about the extraordinary height of last season's success as it does about any concern surrounding the current Patriots.
New England did not simply sneak into the playoffs during Vrabel's first season. The Patriots won 14 games, captured their first AFC East **** le since 2019 and advanced through three postseason rounds. They defeated the Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans at Gillette Stadium before earning a 10-7 road victory over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Eagles lost 24-21 to the New England Patriots on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium, but it was not a bad night.
Many of their players stood out positively. So for this edition of winners and losers, we have seven winners and two losers.
Let's begin ...
Trotter is in a tough situation for his own development. He is a starting-caliber linebacker stuck in one of the NFL's deepest units, with little chance of earning meaningful playing time. Unless injuries occur or Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio decides to play three linebackers at a higher rate, he won't play for most of the year.
Trotter may not get the opportunity, but he deserves more playing time. He proved as much against the Patriots, shooting through the A-gap in the first quarter to sack quarterback Tommy DeVito.

The post-Pep Guardiola era begins in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon as Enzo Maresca's Manchester City host Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium, both clubs starting the season under new management.
Guardiola's decade at City delivered six Premier League **** les, the Champions League and 20 major trophies before his departure this summer. Maresca takes charge for his first league fixture off the back of a chastening 3–0 defeat to **** nal in the Community Shield.
Bournemouth arrive under Marco Rose, who replaces Andoni Iraola after the Spaniard left to take charge of Liverpool. The two sides drew 1–1 at the Vitality Stadium in May, a result that confirmed **** nal as champions.

Jeremy Doku aggravated a calf injury in the Community Shield and has been ruled out for two to three weeks. Savinho and, most likely, Omar Marmoush will also miss out as both remain in talks over a move to Tottenham Hotspur. Matheus Nunes returns to contention after a minor muscle problem kept him out of the Community Shield and could come in at right-back.

Patriots Rookie QB Reveals Story Behind Surprise Punting Role originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Behren Morton entered Saturday night hoping to show the New England Patriots what he could do at quarterback. He ended up auditioning at two positions.
Morton replaced Tommy DeVito behind center in the second half of New England's 24-21 preseason victory over the Philadelphia Eagles at Gillette Stadium. The rookie also unexpectedly took over as the Patriots' punter after Bryce Baringer began feeling unwell.
Morton handled both jobs remarkably well.
The seventh-round pick completed 13 of 17 passes for 129 yards and a touchdown. He also punted three times for 133 yards, averaging 44.3 yards per attempt with a long of 48. It was the type of stat line rarely seen from an NFL quarterback, even during the unpredictable preseason.

After two joint practices, there were more reps to be taken under the Gillette Stadium lights.
The New England Patriots turned those reps into a 24-21 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday night in Foxborough.
Here's a glance back on the 7 p.m. ET kickoff before sights set on the preseason finale and the NFL's 53-man roster deadline.
After starting the preseason opener, Tommy DeVito handled a similar workload on Saturday night.
New England's No. 2 quarterback went 8-of-15 passing for 151 yards against Philadelphia. He again found one touchdown and no turnovers before calling it an outing. Six drives had been logged on the odometer by then.

The Eagles offense looked much better in its second time out, but it wasn't enough to leave Gillette Stadium with a preseason win (gasp!)
Here are the players/people who either helped their stock or hurt it during the 24-21 loss:
As I mulled over which of the Eagles developmental offensive linemen I should begin with on my stock report, the conversation from a few months ago surrounding the potential drop-off in development for those exact players because of Jeff Stoutland's departure came to mind.
For as loud as the concerns about the Eagles continuing to bring along unusual offensive linemen in a post-Stoutland world were after the longtime **** istant coach's resignation in February, it feels fitting to begin tonight's stock report with Kuper, who has done a nice job in his first summer as offensive line coach with the likes of Markel Bell, Drew Kendall, and Willie Lampkin.
Each member of that trio had highlight moments in the early going of a resurgent night from the Eagles offense. Bell carved out a massive running lane for Will Shipley on the Eagles' first scoring drive of the night and, on the next play, Lampkin and Kendall combined for a combo block that washed two Patriots defenders five yards off the line of scrimmage as Will Shipley ran in for a touchdown.

The New England Patriots are back under the lights for their second test of the preseason, this time facing the Philadelphia Eagles at Gillette Stadium. The Eagles lost their opener last Saturday to the Baltimore Ravens 24-7. The Patriots, of course, played to a 13-13 tie against the Indianapolis Colts.
New England is at Cleveland on Thursday to wrap up preseason action, while the Eagles welcome a visit from the Cincinnati Bengals on Friday to finish their exhibition slate.
While the final score will be secondary, Saturday night's matchup offers another important opportunity for Mike Vrabel and his coaching staff to evaluate a roster filled with intriguing position battles.
The Patriots have several questions to answer along the offensive line, in the secondary and throughout the back end of the roster. For players fighting to survive the final cut, every snap could matter. As always with preseason games, it will be interesting to see who is on the field, and who does not enter tonight's game for both Coach Vrabel and Sirianni.

The Houston Texans needed to make a move after losing Jayden Higgins for the 2026 season, but the team's initial response feels underwhelming. Houston is signing veteran NFL wide receivers Sterling Shepard and Zay Jones, but neither player looks capable of truly replacing what Higgins was expected to bring to this offense.
There is a reason why both of those players were unsigned in late August; they aren't good enough to be on NFL rosters. The Texans needed to do more than this to help C.J. Stroud and the rest of the offense.

Higgins wasn't simply another receiver on the Texans' roster. The second-year wideout was expected to take a major step forward and become an important part of the passing game alongside Nico Collins.

Deion Sanders was recently deposed as part of a federal lawsuit accusing the Colorado football coach of defrauding the graphic designer who created his "Prime" logo.
In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Nebraska, Omaha–based graphic designer Alan Tipp alleges that Sanders and his representatives fraudulently induced him into signing away his rights to a pair of logos he first created for the Hall of Fame cornerback in 2011. The two logos—stylized text of the words "Prime" and "Truth"—have since become staples of Sanders's branding during his tenures as the head coach at Jackson State and Colorado.
According to the complaint, Sanders began using the logos around the same time he co-founded Prime Prep Academy in 2011. The design has also appeared in a wide range of commercial partnerships tied to Sanders, the lawsuit says, including Under Armour, Gillette, Jeep, Lamborghini, Aflac, Boost Mobile, and Motorola.
While Tipp initially filed the lawsuit in January 2025, the case's docket was updated on July 30, 2026, to reflect that Sanders was scheduled to be deposed. Front Office Sports has since confirmed that deposition has already taken place. Sanders, merchandise company Prime Time Enterprises, and talent/brand management firm SMAC Entertainment are all listed as defendants in the suit.
Tipp alleges he was approached by Sanders's brand manager and a SMAC Entertainment representative, Sam Morini, shortly after Colorado hired the former Cowboys star in December 2022. According to the claim, Morini sought to have Tipp sign all past, present, and future rights to the logos over to Sanders, who had just been hired by Colorado.
