Jeff Arcuri credits cruise ship gigs and social media for helping launch his comedy career
He and wife Katie Thurston are navigating her stage 4 cancer diagnosis while pursuing IVF and surrogacy plans
Arcuri incorporates their personal journey into his comedy and praises Thurston as his muse and biggest supporter
Three years ago, comedian Jeff Arcuri would never have predicted he'd be where he is today: a celebrated stand-up, married with a dog and a new homeowner of a fixer-upper in Brooklyn.
He also never thought he'd be navigating the pitfalls of cancer; his wife, Bachelorette star Katie Thurston, 35, was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer last March, just months after they were engaged. Her cancer has since developed to stage 4.

If Mercyhurst plans on upsetting the Lobos, it'll have to do so without a key starter.
Lakers starting quarterback Alex Gevaudan will not be available for Saturday's game against New Mexico, head coach Thomas Sydeski said Wednesday.
The 6-foot-3, 195-pound junior completed 31 of 52 passes for 359 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in losses to Youngstown State (43-10) and New Mexico State (51-14) this season. He was key in a competitive first half last week against the Aggies, passing for 147 yards before leaving with an undisclosed injury in the second quarter.
Without Gevaudan, Mercyhurst will play both junior Anthony Wolter and sophomore Tyler Tusai against UNM. Both saw time in the Lakers' loss to NMSU, Mercyhurst's first game against an FBS opponent in program history.
Neither Wolter or Tusai have started a collegiate game entering Saturday.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — Nick Sessions returned an interception 26 yards for a score on the first play of the game and Trey Hedden threw two touchdown passes to help New Mexico State roll to a 51-14 victory over FCS member Mercyhurst on Saturday night.
After Sessions picked off Alex Gevaudan and scored to give the Aggies the lead, the Warriors answered with Byron Cardwell Jr's 2-yard touchdown run to tie it 7-all.
TJ Washington Jr. scored on a 16-yard run for New Mexico State (1-1), but the lead was 13-7 after a missed point-after kick.
Camden Lewis caught a 14-yard touchdown pass from Gevaudan to give Mercyhurst (0-2) a 14-13 lead with 12:44 left in the second quarter, but it was all Aggies after that.
Ilya Uvaydov kicked a go-ahead 39-yard field goal, and Jones followed with a 48-yard touchdown run to help the Aggies take a 23-14 lead into halftime.

For the fourth straight game this preseason, Morgan challenged itself against a higher-classification team on Thursday night, and in the process enjoyed arguably its best performance to date.
Facing 5A's Bountiful, which was coming off back-to-back wins against Davis County 6A teams, Morgan took control in the second quarter with a dominant defensive performance as it cruised to the 37-14 victory over the visiting Redhawks.
"We were excited to play. Bountiful's a quality program, a really good program. We knew it was going to be a battle, so we just tried to prepare ourselves mentally for a tough fight," said Morgan coach Jared Barlow.
Morgan has now won straight games against Sky View, Park City and Bountiful since a difficult season-opening loss to Ridgeline.
Owen Gilson tossed a pair of TD passes in the win for Morgan, both to Owen Belliston, while George Thurston, Rhett Larsen and Miles Syndenham all added rushing TDs for the Trojans.

USA TODAY Sports ranks the Detroit Lions' defense No. 19 entering the 2026 season. Defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard's unit has fallen nine spots since USA TODAY's June ranking that slated the Lions No. 10.
A major concern for Detroit is its injury-plagued secondary.
The Lions released former first-round cornerback Terrion Arnold earlier this offseason. Starting safeties Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch will miss at least four games as both were placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list to begin the 2026 season.
Joseph, a first-team All-Pro and the NFL's interceptions leader in 2024, continues to deal with a degenerative knee issue that limited him to six games in 2025. Meanwhile, Branch is recovering from a torn Achilles that he suffered in December. Sheppard will be leaning on the front seven to take pressure off its secondary in the meantime.
NFL reporter Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz had this to say about the Lions' defense:

Talks between Olympique de Marseille and Crystal Palace for the transfer of Quinten Timber resumed on transfer deadline day. The Dutchman now looks set for a move to Selhurst Park, as per a report from RMC Sport.
Believing that the depth and quality of their midfield is sufficient, OM's management – who continue to seek funds to meet the financial constraints imposed by the National Directorate for Financial Control (DNCG) – are said to have opened the door to the departure of the Dutchman.
Talks regarding a transfer worth over €18m have been ongoing, alongside those being conducted by the Eagles – as well as Sunderland – in an attempt to finalise the deal for Malick Fofana (21). The Belgian could instead now be heading to the Black Cats.
Having joined OM from Feyenoord for €4.5m last winter, Timber has made 17 appearances in the white and blue since his arrival. RMC Sport now understands that Timber is close to completing a move to Crystal Palace with little time remaining before the closure of the transfer window.

The dream of seeing Spencer Schwellenbach on the mound this season is officially over. The Braves announced Friday that the young starter will undergo surgery to repair a fractured right elbow. This procedure inserts a screw to stabilize the joint, a move the team and player tried hard to avoid for months. Per MLB.com Braves, Schwellenbach was "barely able to feel his arm" during a recent bullpen session in Florida, leaving the team with no other choice.
Schwellenbach knew this day might come, even as he fought to heal naturally. Last year, during a June 28 start versus the Phillies, he fractured his bone and expected it to heal naturally. "When you fracture your bone, the hopes are that it heals itself over six to eight weeks," Schwellenbach said. The team gave him that initial time, then another three months, but the pain kept returning. Now, the 26-year-old has accepted the reality of the operation.
Rehab was a frustrating cycle of small gains followed by painful stops. Schwellenbach removed bone spurs this past winter and felt encouraged when his fastball hit 94 mph recently. Yet, he could never clear the final hurdle of discomfort. "It was almost like every time I'd get to the finish line, I couldn't get over the top," Schwellenbach said. This pattern forced the decision to finally fix the fracture surgically.
The timeline for his return is now set for the distant future. While some hope existed for a July or August comeback, those chances vanished with this setback. The surgery marks the end of his 2026 campaign, joining Hurston Waldrep, who is also undergoing elbow surgery. Both pitchers are out for the year, a blow to a rotation that needed depth.
Despite the bad news, Braves manager Walt Weiss sees a path forward. He noted that Schwellenbach has youth and elite ability working in his favor. "It's going to be a long haul, but he's got youth on his side and he's got talent on his side," Weiss said. The manager remains optimistic, though he admits there are no guarantees for a full recovery to his pre-injury form.

Manchester City beat Crystal Palace 4-1 last night at Selhurst Park with a good performance that was filled with plenty of positives. One of those was the performance of Phil Foden. Foden endured a frustrating opening half-hour in last night's match. However, he overcame that to put in a performance that helped his team make it back-to-back wins to start their 2026-27 Premier League campaign.
Manchester City took the lead last night in the 17th minute courtesy of a sublime header from Erling Haaland which came from an Antoine ******* yo cross. Following that goal, Phil Foden had two chances to double Manchester City's lead. He squandered the first in the 21st minute after being set free by Elliot Anderson after City played through the Crystal Palace defence. Foden inexplicably fired over the crossbar with the goal at his mercy. Six minutes later, Foden failed to get sufficient contact on a header from close range after being set up by Rayan Cherki.
For a player who is striving to get back to his best, it was going to be a question of how Foden responded to those chances going by the wayside. Come the final whistle, the answer was emphatic as Phil Foden put in a performance that showed he was getting back to his best.
At times last night, Crystal Palace couldn't live with Manchester City's attacking interplay and fluidity. Phil Foden was at the heart of that. Foden combined superbly well with Nico O'Reilly, Elliot Anderson and Rayan Cherki from the right wing. You could see the confidence growing in Phil Foden as last night's match progressed. He was gliding around the pitch and his touch and passing was on point. He also grabbed an ******* ist when he played the ball to Rayan Cherki to do the rest to score his first goal of the evening. However, the best came late on from Foden.
Erling Haaland would seal Manchester City's win over Crystal Palace when he scored the fourth goal in City's 4-1 win in the 84th minute. Haaland's powerful near post finish came via an ******* ist from Phil Foden. It was that moment that was the crowning moment of Foden's night. It was also one that showed that Phil Foden is getting back to his best.

Palace, who gave a debut off the bench to new signing Axel Disasi, are now without a win in nine Premier League games stretching back to last season.
In the 2-0 defeat by Everton on the opening weekend they hit the woodwork twice before fading in the second half.
Against Manchester City they threatened in spells but even after pulling one goal back they conceded soon after.
This was Pierre Sage's first taste of the night-game atmosphere at Selhurst Park and while the new Palace boss saw moments of positivity from his side, the Frenchman knows the next few days could be critical to Palace's season as Tuesday's 23:00 BST transfer deadline nears.
Will they fight off late late advances for Mateta and Ismaila Sarr, who is also injured but is on Liverpool's radar?

Enzo Maresca hailed Rayan Cherki's "unbelievable" performance in Manchester City's 4-1 thrashing of Crystal Palace on Friday.
City boss Maresca admitted Cherki was frustrated to be left out of the starting line-up for last weekend's 2-1 win against Bournemouth in their Premier League opener.
The France midfielder responded to the snub in emphatic style.
He came off the bench to provide a pair of **** ists against Bournemouth and seized his chance to start at Selhurst Park with a masterful display that underlined his qualities.
The 23-year-old bagged a brace after an own goal from City keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma had cancelled out Erling Haaland's opener in rainy south London.

Rayan Cherki attributed his first of two sublime goals in the 4-1 Premier League victory over Crystal Palace to pure instinct.
Match Report
Erling Haaland's looping header had us ahead at Selhurst Park after 17 minutes, maintaining his remarkable record of scoring every time he's faced the Eagles in the league.
We doubled our lead in sensational fashion as Cherki showed incredible balance, agility and ball control to wriggle away from numerous Palace challenges before deftly flicking into the bottom corner.

Manchester City faced off against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a positive result on the road in the Premier League. The Mancunian giants made a quick start to the game and got their noses ahead in the 17th minute thanks to Erling Haaland's goal. Enzo Maresca's men went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.
Rayan Cherki doubled his team's advantage in the 54th minute. However, Crystal Palace got a goal back due to an unfortunate own goal from Gianluigi Donnarumma just a couple of minutes later. Cherki struck again in the 59th minute before Haaland killed the game off in the 84th minute. The match ended with Man City earning a dominant 4-1 win away from home.
Let's take a look at how each Manchester City player fared during the clash against the Eagles.
Donnarumma failed to make a save at the back and couldn't do much about Yeremy Pino's free-kick.

The Atlanta Braves have announced that injured starting pitcher Hurston Waldrep will have to undergo "Tommy John" surgery and fellow starter Spencer Schwellenbach will also have surgery on the same elbow fracture he suffered last year.
Waldrep will likely miss all of 2027. No timetable on Schwellenbach is available.
This is a developing story.

Crystal Palace face an immediate test of Pierre Sage's credentials on Friday, with Manchester City heading to Selhurst Park for the new Eagles boss's first home Premier League fixture.
Sage has inherited a squad that is largely available, although injuries and off field issues have complicated his selection. Ismaila Sarr remains sidelined with a groin problem, while Chadi Riad is unavailable because of a knee injury. Jean-Philippe Mateta also remains a notable selection, given his ongoing legal dispute with the club over his contract.
There is little reason to expect Sage to make wholesale changes for such a demanding fixture. Dean Henderson should retain his place in goal, with Palace expected to line up with three centre backs in front of him.
Jaydee Canvot, Chris Richards and Takehiro Tomiyasu are the likely defensive trio. It gives Sage a combination of physicality, mobility and experience, qualities that will be required against a Manchester City attack capable of stretching a defence in several different ways.
Daniel Munoz and Tyrick Mitchell should operate as wing backs. Their role could prove particularly important, because Palace will need to offer an attacking outlet while remaining disciplined when City have possession.

Manchester City faces Crystal Palace on Friday in both teams' second match of the new Premier League season, with City hoping to build on its last-gasp win in the opener after finishing runner-up last year.
Defenders Marc Guéhi and Joško Gvardiol scored in the 84th and 91st minutes to earn the full three points for Manchester City against Bournemouth in Enzo Maresca's first competitive match since taking over as manager from the departed Pep Guardiola.
Maresca told reporters a day before Friday's game at Selhurst Park in London that new signing Ayyoub Bouaddi is settling in with the team but City will be careful with the 18-year-old Moroccan midfielder signed from Lille.
"In this case we need to go slowly because he is very young and came from a different country," Maresca said. "So no rush for him but for sure he is going to help us now and in the future."
Here's how Manchester City could line up on Friday:

Crystal Palace supporter group Holmesdale Fanatics say they will "stop all organised activity" at Selhurst Park citing the sanitisation of football as key in their decision.
The group - founded in 2005 - play a significant part in generating the atmosphere and visual impacts such as flags and Tifos for Eagles fixtures.
In a lengthy statement explaining the move, the group said "genuine" fans are no longer prioritised by clubs.
They said: "Increasingly driven out by sky high ticket prices, needless restrictions that are designed to strip away the dignity of supporters, and relentless harassment and legal action, many young people are choosing to opt out of a game that seems determined to push them away."
Holmesdale Fanatics said it was "proud" for all that has been achieved but warned the "current setup is unsustainable" at Selhurst Park.

Manchester City face their first away trip of the 2026-27 Premier League tonight when they take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Enzo Maresca's side will be looking to build momentum after their late come-from-behind victory at the Etihad Stadium last Sunday.
Crystal Palace will be looking to grab their first points of the season after they were beaten 2-0 by Everton at the Hill ****** inson Stadium in their opening Premier League fixture of the season last weekend. Crystal Palace are now managed by Pierre Sage. Sage replaced Oliver Glasner as Palace's manager after an impressive spell in charge of RC Lens.
Here is the latest City team news and my predicted Manchester City starting eleven ahead of tonight's match.
Jeremy Doku is the only Manchester City player unavailable for tonight's match due to injury. The Belgian international is currently ruled out due to the calf injury he sustained during the first half of Manchester City's 3-0 FA Community Shield defeat to ****** nal. Elliot Anderson is fit and should start tonight after being substituted against Bournemouth after suffering from cramp. Enzo Maresca also told the media yesterday that Matheus Nunes is continuing to work his way back to full fitness.
Enzo Maresca sprung a surprise last weekend against Bournemouth by starting Marc Guehi in midfield. He could decide to go with that particular move again tonight. Guehi slotted into midfield seamlessly and if asked to step into midfield again, Marc Guehi knows what his manager expects.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) — Beau Brungard threw for three touchdowns and ran for two, leading Youngstown State to a 43-10 rout of Mercyhurst in a Football Championship Subdivision season opener on Thursday night.
Brungard, the reigning Walter Payton Award winner as the top offensive player in FCS, had 98 yards rushing in the first half as the Penguins built a 29-3 lead. He accounted for three touchdowns — two on the ground and one passing. His second touchdown pass, 27 yards to Bryan Hunt, gave the Penguins a 36-3 lead to open the third quarter. He added a short touchdown pass to Jaden Gilbert with under 10 minutes left in the fourth before coming out of the game.
Brungard finished with 232 yards passing, completing 20 of 29 throws, and was intercepted once. He had 119 yards rushing on 21 carries. Gilbert had five carries for 89 yards, which included a 50-yard run. The Penguins, ranked No. 9 in the Stats Perform FCS top 25, had 484 yards on offense, with 232 passing and 252 rushing.
After driving 65 yards for a 24-yard field goal on the opening possession of the game, the Lakers didn't cross midfield until the middle of the fourth when they reached the YSU 34-yard line before being stopped on fourth down.
A blocked punt by Kaleb Platz set up the Lakers for a 53-yard drive to their only touchdown, a 2-yard pass from Alex Gevaudan to Sha'lik Hampton.

Enzo Maresca says he is fully focused on Crystal Palace rather than the final days of the transfer window.
City travel to Selhurst Park on Friday night for the 20:00 (UK) kick-off aiming to build on the opening weekend victory over Bournemouth.
While there is the possibility of more incomings and outgoings before the deadline on Tuesday, 1 September at 23:00 (UK), Maresca's attention is on the difficult trip to Palace and trying to pick up all three points.
"It's the transfer window with four or five days to go and anything can happen," the City boss said at his pre-match news conference.
"We will see. For me it is complicated to think about transfer window when we have a game in 24 hours. I am focused on the game.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers left their first joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars knowing their effort wasn't good enough. Tuesday's practice was one of Tampa Bay's roughest sessions of the summer. The offense struggled to consistently move the ball, Jacksonville controlled stretches on both sides and, perhaps most concerning, the Buccaneers lacked the energy and physicality they had shown throughout camp.
Baker Mayfield admitted afterward that Jacksonville was the more physical team, while Josiah Trotter Jr. acknowledged that Tampa Bay's energy and body language weren't up to the standard the defense expects. Chris Godwin Jr was similarly critical, saying the Bucs have to create their own energy when playing on the road and respond better when things start going wrong. The second practice was lighter and conducted without full pads, with most of the competitive work coming during seven on seven periods before the teams separated for walkthroughs. Still, Tampa Bay played with noticeably more tempo and made the most of the opportunities it had against Jacksonville, and the defense provided the biggest response.
Trotter intercepted Trevor Lawrence in the red zone after recognizing a wheel route, and undrafted rookie Ayden Garnes followed with another interception. Benjamin Morrison and Keionte Scott also recorded pass breakups as Tampa Bay's young secondary consistently challenged Jacksonville's passing game. The offense looked sharper as well. Mayfield connected with Tez Johnson, Kenny Gainwell and Ted Hurst III for touchdowns during red zone work. Hurst continued his impressive week by beating Travis Hunter for another score after having success against him during Tuesday's practice. Todd Bowles still wasn't completely satisfied. He called the offense rusty over the two days and noted that the defense had mental mistakes that need to be corrected. But he also felt the Bucs got the mental work they needed from the trip. Tampa Bay was challenged after looking flat and getting outplayed Tuesday. Rather than carrying that performance into the final day of camp, the Bucs returned with better energy and execution.

Nine Mile Metals Ltd. (CSE:NINE, OTCID:VMSXF, FRA:KQ9) reported **** ay results from its Wedge Mine in the Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick, intersecting two distinct volcanogenic massive sulphide zones carrying copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold.
The hole, collared in the southwest corner of the company's drill pattern at a depth of 224 metres, intersected an upper zone of 9.85 metres from 80.15 to 90 metres and a lower zone of 33 metres from 105 to 138 metres, for combined mineralization of 42.85 metres.
Grades increased with depth, the company said in a statement.
The drill core consisted of massive pyritic VMS with locally visible chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena, hosted in felsic volcanics and sediments. The upper zone showed higher silver and zinc grades, while the lower zone carried higher copper along with silver and gold.
"This was our first hole in the southwest and it did not disappoint," said Gary Lohman, Nine Mile's vice president exploration. "With solid copper mineralization in addition to both gold and silver, this bodes well for expanding our resource in the western portion of the Wedge."

LYNDHURST — A year of maturity made a difference Saturday evening for the Lakeside Dragons. Playing freshmen and sophomores last year led to some growth in a 14-7 victory over Lutheran East.
The Dragons defense held Lutheran East to just seven points by staying on their ****** ignments and not freelancing, said Lakeside football coach Terry Henton.
"We talked all summer about putting in the work," Henton said of the team earning a chance to play winning football.
He said as long as they play as a team they have a chance.
"Everybody [on defense] is on a chain," Henton said. "You can't go any where alone."

Despite his efforts to prove otherwise, Jean-Philippe Mateta still has 10 months left on his contract.
That is significant for a number of reasons.
It means if Crystal Palace are to recoup any money in transfer fees for the striker before he is eligible to sign a Bosman pre-contract with an overseas club in January, then this window provides their last opportunity to do so.
That fact will not be lost on those at Selhurst Park and there is a view from some at the club that they should look to sever ties in the coming days.
But with Mateta less than 12 months away from a free transfer, which would most probably be more financially lucrative for him than leaving for a fee this month, it would be understandable if the 29-year-old was not rushing out of the exit door.

#mateta #contract #club

Jean-Philippe Mateta's agents are said to be 'working hard' to find him a new club amid growing uncertainty over his Crystal Palace future.
According to TeamTalk, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have been contacted to gauge whether they'd be interested in signing the frontman.
His situation at Selhurst Park has turned sour this year, particularly since his proposed £26 million transfer to AC Milan collapsed in the winter window after issues were flagged in his medical regarding a previous meniscus injury.
Although he returned to action for the Eagles and went on to play a key role in their UEFA Conference League triumph, Mateta has still been planning a move elsewhere, despite Palace having no desire to sell him.
He has now raised concerns over their handling of his contract and the validity of the 12-month option triggered by Palace, keeping him tied to the club until June 2027.
