EDITOR'S NOTE: Featuring the good, the bad and the ugly, 'Look of the Week' is a regular series dedicated to unpacking the most talked about outfit of the last seven days.
In a post-Rihanna world, we all like to talk about how maternity wear — or at least the expectations of how pregnant women should dress — is forever changed. Rihanna, after all, when carrying each of her three children wore exactly what she might have done were she not pregnant at all: rather than elasticated waistbands and drab smocks, she was seen in lace bodysuits, corsets, crop tops and mini-skirts.

Baby ***** ps have become certified red carpet accessories. Celebrities wear their bellies popping out of keyhole cut outs in second-skin gowns, as was the case with Adriana Lima's Cannes red carpet run in 2022; decorated with gold leaf, like Ciara at "The Color Purple" premiere in 2023 or framed inside a puffy Schiaparelli two-piece, like Sienna Miller's pregnancy announcement at Vogue World that same year. Meanwhile, shopping habits are changing. Lyst data suggested that searches for maternity clothes have dropped by as much as 45%. We are in a brave new world of ***** p dressing, defined by our own tastes and identities. Hurray! Or are we?

We all have our own bad habits, vices, and things that we aren't proud of. But unlike Bill Simmons, most of us who are average folks don't open up and admit them to an audience of thousands, only to have them posted on social media and aggregated to be seen by millions.
Simmons has been in public life for over a quarter-century now, and it seems like we should know all that there is to know about him personally and professionally. So when The Sports Guy makes a stunning admission that not only leaves his podcast guest in his tracks, but the rest of America, it must be something truly extraordinary.
And in a conversation with FS1 host Kevin Wildes on The Bill Simmons Podcast, Simmons did just that when he admitted that he doesn't wear a seatbelt when driving.
"As you know from driving with me, I never buckle it, and I just wait the minute until it stops doing the noise," Simmons said.
When asked if he ever buckled his seatbelt by Wildes, he replied, "Eh, not really."

Quarterback evaluation isn't just about arm talent. It's about identifying the habits that continue to appear, even after the jersey changes. For New York Jets rookie Cade Klubnik, one of those habits that continues to be a discussion piece may be his red-zone execution.
Through the early stages of training camp, Klubnik has battled injuries. He has also flashed many of the traits that made him one of college football's most intriguing quarterbacks. He's athletic, confident outside the pocket and capable of extending plays with his legs. Inside the 20-yard line, however, the margin for error becomes dramatically smaller.
That challenge isn't entirely new. During his career with the Clemson Tigers, Klubnik produced plenty of touchdowns and emerged as a dangerous dual-threat quarterback, finishing with 17 rushing scores. His mobility frequently gave the Tigers another answer near the goal line, particularly on designed quarterback runs and scrambles.
The rushing ability grabs one's attention, but there's more to the story when the Jets take center stage. Klubnik is a special talent. He's a two-time ACC Championship Game MVP (2022, 2024). The Jets saw fit to take him during Round 4 of the most recent NFL draft, but he also experienced stretches where drives stalled because of forced throws, turnovers, or mistakes in compressed areas of the field.
That's one of the most common adjustments young quarterbacks face when reaching the NFL. College quarterbacks can often rely on superior athleticism to escape pressure or create second-chance opportunities. Professional defenses rarely allow those same escape routes. Windows close faster. Defenders recover quicker. Mistakes become touchdowns for the other team.

Investing small amounts of money on a recurring basis can be as effective as putting in a large lump sum at once. It also has the added benefit of getting people used to saving and investing regularly, which can create good habits and reduce risk by spreading investments over time.
By saving and investing an average of $15 per day, an investor could build a portfolio worth over $1 million after 30 years. Here's how.
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 »
Having a go-to exchange-traded fund (ETF) to invest in regularly can be extremely valuable for investors, as it simplifies the decision-making process about where to invest each day, week, or month. A great option to consider is the Vanguard Morningstar Growth ETF (NYSEMKT: VUG), which, as its name suggests, focuses on top growth stocks. These are the types of investments that can generate significant returns over a long time frame. It includes big names such as Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, and many other top stocks. They will carry some risk, but over a long time frame, they can potentially outperform the broader market.
Over the past decade, this ETF has generated total returns (including reinvested dividends) of approximately 406%, versus about 315% for an index tracking the S&P 500. That may not always be the case, but growth stocks are popular for their potential to deliver outsize returns, which is why the Vanguard Growth ETF can be a compelling long-term option and a go-to fund to invest in regularly.

Luke Kuechly was officially inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday afternoon in Canton, Ohio, after a week full of festivities.
He joined Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald, Adam Vinatieri, and Roger Craig, who were also inducted Saturday.
At 35, Kuechly became the second-youngest player inducted into the Hall. Chicago Bears running back Gale Sayers was 34 when he was inducted in 1977.
Introduced by his father, Tom, Kuechly was inducted on the same field where he led St. Xavier High School to a state championship in 2007.
Known for his intense study habits, Kuechly was a five-time All-Pro linebacker, the 2012 AP Defensive Rookie of the Year and 2013 AP Defensive Player of the Year during his eight-year career with the Carolina Panthers. Kuechly decided to retire in part to preserve his brain health after suffering several concussions.

It may have taken decades, but Heather Locklear and Lorenzo Lamas have finally fallen into one another's arms. Sadly, love doesn't pay the bills, which is something Lamas, who rose to fame starring in nine seasons of "Falcon Crest" and five seasons of "Renegade," needed to learn the hard way. Lamas found himself in a financial pickle when the roles started to dry up, and with added divorce costs and Lamas' many ex-wives who came calling for their alimony, he was out $6,123 a month. On top of that was the cost of raising six children, and it didn't help that the actor had expensive habits. When he filed for bankruptcy in 2004, Lamas was over $600,000 in debt, with items like his Harley-Davidson, Hummer, and private plane hanging over his head.
Lamas filed for bankruptcy a second time in 2014. Where the actor had over $400,000 in ***** ets in '04, in the '14 listing, he was down to just $9,100, with only $430 in the bank. The good news was that his debt had been cut in half. The bad news was that even half the debt was still over $300,000. The "Bold and the Beautiful" star opened up on "Oprah: Where Are They Now" (via HuffPost), saying, "My greatest regret would be that I took my success for granted, because it was given to me at such a young age. I thought my acting career was going to just last forever ..." But the star wasn't going to sit around and wait to see what would happen. He took responsibility and found a way out of the hole he had dug.

Lorenzo Lamas/X
The son of Hollywood legends Arlene Dahl and Fernando Lamas, Lorenzo Lamas was in his 40s when he had to do something he had never done before: get a regular job. Being a man with many talents, Lamas landed a pretty cool job, becoming a helicopter pilot touring people around Los Angeles and New York, but the change in profession wasn't easy for him, explaining, "It was a very difficult lesson to learn at 40 years old." But it was a lesson that taught the star what he needed to learn, as he went on to opine, "Put some money away and not spend it so ... frivolously on boats and airplanes and houses behind gates, and all that stuff that really doesn't matter."

It has been only a month since Jose Mourinho arrived at Real Madrid, but it has taken him little time to ****** s the environment at the club and in the dressing room, and start making changes.
Indeed, according to AS, After observing the day-to-day habits at Valdebebas, the new Real Madrid coach decided the club needed greater structure, discipline and control.
His objective was not simply to reshape the team's performances on the pitch, but also to redefine the routines surrounding the players' daily lives.
From nutrition and injury rehabilitation to punctuality and team bonding, Mourinho has already left his mark with a new set of standards.
The Portuguese coach is not relying solely on strict discipline. For Mourinho, creating a united group is just as important as tactical work.

Lender approvals ignore personal habits and savings goals. Buying less home than you qualify for delivers flexibility, lower stress, and real breathing room.
Property taxes, insurance, HOA fees, utilities, and surprise repairs can add hundreds or thousands monthly beyond what a mortgage statement shows.
Existing debt, a wiped-out emergency fund, and continued lifestyle inflation after closing combine to push new homeowners deep into financial strain.
Don't wait: the **** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now.
Buying a home is exciting, but no one should want to get into a house at the cost of stretching their budget too far. This can quickly turn homeownership into a financial burden. Being "house poor" means such a large portion of your income goes toward housing expenses that little room is left over for savings, recreational activities, emergencies, weekend trips, or everyday spending. Of course, few people become house poor on purpose. It happens gradually through small decisions that add up over time. Understanding the most common causes of falling into this trap can help you avoid it. That knowledge can lead you to a home that fits both your lifestyle and your financial goals.

The Kings nearly traded Domantas Sabonis to the Toronto Raptors at the deadline in February -- a move he would've welcomed, a source with knowledge of the situation said -- for a package that included RJ Barrett, but the Raptors were unable to get off the three-year, $84 million remaining on Jakob Poeltl's contract, which doomed the deal.

Sean Cunningham: Domantas Sabonis will be courtside in Vegas for today's Kings summer league game against the Wizards. — 7/12/2026 Twitter SeanCunningham
Meanwhile, Perry also is expecting Sabonis to play a big role in Sacramento's rebuild following a disappointing 22-60 record during the 2025-26 season, despite previous reports that the Kings were in trade talks with the Charlotte Hornets involving the three-time NBA All-Star center. "Come in and compete just like everybody else," Perry told reporters. "Obviously, he's an excellent player. He's done it for a while in this league. I've been in constant contact with him as well in the offseason. Just expect him to come in here healthy, first and foremost, and he's trending in that direction. "Obviously, he missed a lot of last year because he was not. He's always played hard, and so I expect him to do that. Provide some veteran presence for this team and really have a tremendous rebound year and help us build some winning habits here and start heading in the right direction." — 7/9/2026 NBC Sports Bay Area

Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman opened fall camp with a news conference Tuesday at Notre Dame Stadium, addressing a number of topics for a team that checks in at No. 5 in the preseason coaches poll.
Here are six things we heard from Freeman, safety Adon Shuler and linebacker Drayk Bowen as the Irish prepare to dive into practices this month.
Freeman instituted the motto in the winter when Notre Dame missed the College Football Playoff despite finishing with a 10-2 record. Bowen said the players understand that means they "can't leave your future in the hands of others" — and that is driving how they work.
While "Leave No Doubt" links back to the CFP snub, Freeman said he tells his team to stop thinking and talking about the playoffs — to lock in on the moment instead.
"When your mind is thinking about something that isn't right in front of you, you create bad habits," Freeman said. "You create complacency, and it's important that every time we think about last year, 2024, the future, it's a trigger to remind us to take care of what we have right in front of us, and that's this moment."

Miranda Kerr has revealed she has a ban on eating both eggs and sushi, and refuses to rule out having a facelift in the future.
The supermodel opened up about her regimented eating and wellness habits in an interview with Kristin Cavallari on her Let's Be Honest podcast.
"I've seen some people, even friends, that have had facelifts and actually look amazing," Miranda, 43, told her host. "And I'm like, 'yeah, this is interesting. Good research, good research."
The mother of four explained she had based her thoughts about facelifts in part around something Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner, 70, had said.
"It's one of those things that I guess you don't really know until you really know," Miranda reflected. "Because you're like, you think like, okay, you want to be the best version of yourself. I heard Kris Jenner say something like, she wanted to feel the way she felt on the inside. And that made a lot of sense. Like she was looking in the mirror, and she was like, that's not how I feel on the inside. It wasn't matching. And so I get it, like, you just want to help gravity."
Elsewhere in the interview, Miranda, who is married to billionaire Snapchat co-founder Evan Spiegel, admitted she had particular rules around what she will and won't eat - with eggs and sushi both on the banned list.

Small budgeting mistakes like ignoring irregular expenses and forgotten subscriptions can quietly drain hundreds of dollars each year.

In what sounds straight out of the personal hygiene habits of ESPN's Dan Orlovsky, Baltimore Orioles color commentator Ben McDonald made a wild admission during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
On the MASN broadcast, McDonald told play-by-play announcer Kevin Brown that he's never used shampoo in his life.
"You think you use the same amount of product in your hair as Brandon Marsh does?" Brown asked as the long-haired and full-bearded Marsh was up to bat for the Phillies.
"No way," McDonald replied. "For me, it's just a bar of soap."
"A bar of soap?" Brown questioned, while laughing.

"No way," McDonald replied. "For me, it's just a bar of soap."
"A bar of soap?" Brown questioned, while laughing.

Michael B. Jordan is joining in on the joke after social media users likened his go-to red-carpet stance to a waiter preparing to take an order.
It's not the first time the actor's poses have become a talking point online, either, with his resurfaced Calvin Klein campaign also fueling plenty of online commentary a few months ago.
Michael B. Jordan proved he can laugh at himself after fans roasted one of his most recognizable red-carpet habits. Bustle shared an Instagram carousel highlighting years of photos showing the Oscar winner standing with his hands folded in front of him, alongside a viral post comparing the stance to a restaurant server asking, "Y'all ready to order yet?"
Rather than ignore the teasing, Jordan jumped into the comments with laughing and facepalm emojis, embracing the internet's latest observation. The Bustle admin added to the fun by joking that Jordan could "take my order anytime."
The lighthearted exchange follows just months after The Blast reported on another instance when Jordan's poses became part of a heated online conversation. A resurfaced Calvin Klein campaign he ran in 2023 ignited a wave of reactions as fans praised the actor's physique and confident modeling. A handful of critics were less impressed, though, with one dismissing the images as "not cute."

Bad chipping habits have a way of sneaking back in when you stop focusing on the fundamentals.
Professional long driver Averee Dovsek shares what she learned during a recent chipping lesson and the small adjustments that made a big difference.
One of the hardest parts of improving your short game is recognizing what you're actually doing. Without filming your swing or getting feedback from a coach, it's easy to miss the small mistakes holding you back. In this case, it was remembering to keep your ball forward, keeping your low point forward and accelerating through the ball are all good tips to remember.

Dorit Kemsley's divorce drama has taken another bitter turn.
The latest dispute comes as the estranged couple continues clashing over finances, with fresh court filings exposing sharply different views of their lifestyle and raising new questions about what ultimately drove the breakdown of their relationship.

PK Kemsley has pushed back against Dorit Kemsley's defense of her spending habits, arguing that the reality star's role on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" does not justify the amount allegedly spent on clothing, accessories, hair, and makeup.

A health coach tested four fitness wearables to compare data on sleep, steps, and recovery.
Each brand had pros and cons, but one stood out as reliable and good value.
He said to be wary when wearables overwhelm you with data but don't help you change any habits.
Every morning for two weeks, health and performance coach Dan Go woke up and checked his fitness wearable. And then checked again. And again. And again.
Go, 46, was wearing four different devices at once, his latest self-experiment to find optimal strategies for health and fitness.

Liverpool have won two pre-season games, 1-0 against Wrexham and 4-2 against Sunderland, but the more important development may be cultural rather than cosmetic. Dominik Szoboszlai has said plainly what many around Anfield wanted to hear, that intensity is back under Andoni Iraola.
The Hungarian midfielder did not dress it up. Speaking during Liverpool's tour of the United States, he said: "He is very good. The intensity we need is here now, what we have been missing is back. From the coach side and the players, now we have to put this together."
That is a significant line. It tells you what Iraola has prioritised from day one, and it also tells you what the squad felt had slipped. Liverpool have had enough neat possession, enough sterile control and enough softness over the past year. The issue was never effort in the abstract. It was tempo, aggression, second **** , pressure and the ability to make opponents uncomfortable.
Iraola has been appointed to fix a side that drifted badly in 2025/26. The **** le-winning success of 2024/25 under Arne Slot stands on its own, but football does not hand out credit for sentiment. Last season was poor, the drop-off was obvious and Liverpool needed a reset. Iraola's first task was always going to be restoring the physical and mental edge that defined this club at its best.
So far, the messaging is direct and the signs are positive. Pre-season scorelines matter less than habits, and the habits being discussed are the right ones. Szoboszlai's comments matter because he is one of the players most affected by rhythm and intensity. If Liverpool press well, break quickly and play vertically, he becomes a far more influential figure.

Many people end up working until their 60s or beyond because they have no choice. But you may find that retiring at 55 is more ideal for you because it gives you a fairly lengthy career while also allowing you to exit the labor force at a time when your health might still be great.
If your goal is to retire at 55, you'll need to start working toward it at a young age. Here are three things to do early in your career if you want to be able to stop working at 55.
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 »
Developing good savings habits early on could lead to a large nest egg by your mid-50s. If you want to retire at 55, begin funding an IRA or 401(k) as soon as you have your first steady paycheck.
It's OK if you can only swing modest contributions early on in your career, especially if you're simultaneously trying to build an emergency fund and pay off student loans. The key is to start saving for retirement from as young an age as possible so your money has time to grow.

On August 13th at 10 a.m and 11 a.m. at Hillside Elementary, Flyers alumni accompanied by their beloved mascot will visit to celebrate the Flyers Hooked on Hockey program. The alumni will lead free ball hockey clinics for the elementary campus, as well as equipment, drills, and games.
Each participating camp will receive a full set of ball hockey equipment to keep games going season-long.

Gritty — a beloved figure across the Delaware Valley since his 2018 debut — will appear at each location, greeting campers between clinic sessions. The Flyers will also bring inflatables, including a "shoot on goal" challenge.
"Getting kids into sports early is about so much more than the game itself," said Bryan Ford, ******* ociation Sports Director at the Greater Philadelphia YMCA. "When a child picks up a stick, they're building confidence, teamwork, and healthy habits that last a lifetime. We're incredibly grateful to the Philadelphia Flyers for sharing their time, their alumni, and yes, even Gritty, to give our campers a first taste of a sport they might fall in love with," Ford said in a press release.
The clinics are open to campers at four Greater Philadelphia YMCA camp sites on the following dates. Gritty is expected to come at the end of the first clinic and stay into the start of the second:

During the Tuesday episode of Mad Money, host Jim Cramer discussed the major credit card networks as he noted that consumer spending remains resilient. He began by highlighting the broader economic data and noted that roughly 81% of Americans hold a credit card, averaging three to four cards per consumer, with cardholders using about 29% to 30% of their available balance. Even though the median household holds approximately $8,000 in cash, consumers continue to prefer credit over drawing down savings. Explaining how these consumer habits feed into the major card networks, Cramer noted:
All this is to say that the three big credit card companies, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express have a tremendous read on the state of the economy, and after a very rocky first quarter, these stocks have been steadily chugging higher since April.
Examining the daily chart of market leader Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) with the help of Bob Lang's (founder of Explosive Options) **** ysis, Cramer highlighted how the stock's recent technical breakout contradicts theories of a struggling consumer:
Why don't we start with Visa? That's the most used credit card. 60% of cardholders have one... Check out the daily chart. Visa's been roaring higher on terrific relative strength lately. I mean, this is not what Visa's chart looks like when the consumer's being squeezed. When you look at the moving average convergence divergence, that's the MACD… That's an important momentum indicator that can detect changes in the stock's trajectory before they happen… This isn't a coincidence; this is predictive. It made a bullish crossover mid-June. That's what really got people excited... And it's one of the most positively reliable patterns there is out there. Sure enough, the stock's been on fire ever since the cross...
Cramer also pointed to the volume indicator at the bottom of the chart to highlight the influx of big-money accumulation:

Netflix has more than 325 million subscribers worldwide. The streaming giant has also made no secret of its ambition to become a player in the live events ******* e, especially when it comes to sports. In recent years, the company has invested heavily, securing deals with MLB, the NFL and FIFA. It has also become the home of MVP boxing promotions and WWE’s flagship program, Monday Night Raw.
However, the strategy behind Netflix’s entry into live sports is still evolving. During an appearance this past April, Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria explained that the goal is to make everything on the platform great, including live events. She also acknowledged the challenge of shifting viewers from an on-demand mindset to appointment viewing. That may prove to be the company’s biggest obstacle and could ultimately determine whether sports remain a long-term priority.
Habits are hard to change.
For much of my childhood, television revolved around appointment viewing, just as sports do today. I remember gathering with my family to watch ABC’s T.G.I.F. lineup or tuning in for Tom Brokaw and NBC Nightly News.
Today, we live in a much different media environment. Audiences have traded appointment viewing for the convenience of watching on their own schedule. Millions continue to cut the cord because they can find their favorite programming whenever they want. That’s the experience platforms like Netflix were built to deliver: premium programming available whenever and however the viewer chooses.

If there is a theme for this year's Boston Celtics squad at the NBA's 2026 Las Vegas Summer League, it has been growing together. From the prospect added to the roster at the last minute to the players on contract with Boston all the way up to Sin City Celtics head coach Amile Jefferson, putting work to do their respective job with the Summer Celtics has been the focus. "For me, it was just finding ways to keep coaching these guys and keep motivating them," said Jefferson via CLNS Media.
"Trying to make our habits stronger than being tired, stronger than being comfortable, stronger than playing a back-to-back," added the Celtics **** istant. "How can we find our habits and regain the poise to fight"
"We brought in some guys at the end of the game who just played with energy and brought those habits back (...)," said Jefferson. "And so as a coach, I think you're always trying to help the guys, no matter what point in the game it is and no matter what the score is."
As for the players, Jefferson saw plenty of growth as well. "It's awesome. You really get proud of those guys when they don't stop," he said. "Sometimes things don't go your way. Sometimes you can't make a shot. And at the end of the day, can you lean in ... on your habits and on the effort and on competitive spirit?"
"And even when it's not going well, can you find ways to make a play? And is that a deflection? Is it a steal? Is it an offensive rebound? I tell all our guys every day, everyone can offensive rebound. Everyone can sprint the floor. Everyone can play defense. So just trying to keep the guys in the right mindset, no matter what the score is."
