RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Seattle Seahawks tight end Eric Saubert appreciates a dry sense of humor, so it didn't take long for him to take a liking to Brian Fleury.
Saubert played for San Francisco in 2024, when Fleury was the 49ers' tight ends coach. The two were reunited in February, when the Seahawks hired Fleury as their offensive coordinator.
"I love dry humor, sarcasm. I love that stuff," Saubert said this week at Seahawks training camp. "But, overall, he's a pro in what he does. And I think he's very innovative in his approach. Overall, I just love working with him."
Described by players and coaches as even-keeled and stoic, Fleury has shown an ability to command a room early in his first stint as an NFL coordinator.
"He's obviously very studied, and you would ****** ume that an offensive coordinator would know everyone's roles," Saubert said. "But to be able to articulate it in the moment like he does, like, I'm telling you: I've been on a lot of teams, and not everyone does that, which is pretty cool. Excited for him."

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas has signed a five-year contract for the Jayhawks to participate in the Players Era Festival, tying one of college basketball's storied programs to one of the more innovative, forward-thinking tournaments in the sport.
The Players Era began in Las Vegas in 2024 with the idea of funneling at least $1 million toward each participating school's name, image and likeness fund. Oregon wound up beating Alabama in the finale of the eight-team competition.
The tournament expanded last year to 18 teams, when it went from an elimination-style tournament to a pool-based system where margin of victory mattered, and a four-team women's event began. The Jayhawks beat Tennessee in the third-place game of the men's event, while eventual national champion Michigan routed Gonzaga to win the championship.
Along with at least $1 million in guaranteed payouts, an additional $12 million was allocated to teams based on performance.
Now, the Jayhawks are locked into the tournament through the 2030-31 season, giving coach Bill Self's team a marquee early-season showcase while ensuring the program has a lucrative NIL stream in an era where finances matter more than ever.

Real Madrid were still without some of their most important players as they faced Fiorentina in their first friendly match of the summer, which ended in a 2-2 draw. Despite the absence of these players, the Merengue team still put on quite an encouraging performance.
However, Jose Mourinho still had to come up with innovative ideas to get the job done without these players. One of the most notable aspects of his lineup was the presence of both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Denzel Dumfries, two players who are expected to compete for the right-back spot going into the next season.
On paper, the Englishman played as a fullback, while the Dutchman was stationed farther ahead, more as a winger. However, once the game got going, it was apparent that even Trent's role was not that of a traditional fullback.
As Diario AS has noted, he played as a fullback when defending, but when his team had the ball, he slotted in as an extra midfielder, and it looked like Mourinho was aiming to take advantage of his pinpoint passing from the midfield.
This approach resulted in a clear benefit for Real Madrid, as Trent put in a precise ball that Endrick received to score the first goal for his side. Only moments before that, Mourinho could be seen talking with the fullback, and one can see that the coach has some clear ideas on how to utilize the Englishman's skillset.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian planes dropped eight powerful glide bombs in a span of 90 minutes on residential districts of the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, killing one person and wounding dozens of others, regional chief Ivan Fedorov said Monday.
Meanwhile, six people were killed by Ukrainian drone debris in Arkhipo-Osipovka, a small town on Russia's Black Sea coast in the Krasnodar region, regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev said, adding that 40 others were wounded.
Three other people were killed and two were wounded in Ukraine's overnight attack on the illegally annexed Crimea, said the peninsula's Russian-installed head, Sergei Aksyonov. He gave no details.
Neither side's claims could be independently verified.
Ukraine's innovative long-range drone technology developed during the war has enabled Kyiv to sign military cooperation agreements with nine countries, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday.

FC Internazionale Milano have reached a historic and significant milestone, which cements their size on a global scale. The Nerazzurri now have over 100 million fans on their social media platforms, distributed across their 26 different profiles.
It is an achievement that goes beyond mere numbers and tells the tale of a project that has been carried out over time, in which on-field success has been linked to an increasingly structured digital strategy, which has broadened the horizons of its fanbase to new audiences outside of Italy.
In the last twelve months, this growth has been constant and significant, having drawn in over 16 million new fans, an increase of over 20%, which is a leading figure among the world's top clubs. In the last six months (February to July), this growth has taken the Club over the 100-million mark, strengthening Inter's position as one of the most popular entities in world football. In particular, YouTube and TikTok, two key platforms in the Club's internationalisation,largely drove this increase in followers.
Inter have surpassed 10 million subscribers on YouTube, joining an elite group of global football clubs on the platform. Between February and July, the Club recorded 6.1 million new subscribers, representing growth of 135%. This milestone has also seen Inter climb to seventh in the global ranking of football clubs by subscriber count.
At the same time, TikTok continued to establish itself as one of the Club's most dynamic platforms, with steady growth in both its fanbase (+4 million followers between February and July) and engagement. It was on TikTok that the Club also experimented with new storytelling formats, launching an innovative "Out Of Phone" campaign to celebrate its 21st Scudetto. For the first time, content native to the platform stepped beyond the smartphone screen to become a shared, real-world experience, accompanying the Bus Parade and turning Milano into an extension of the Club's digital storytelling. The initiative generated hundreds of millions of views and drove a significant increase in followers, further demonstrating Inter's ability to bring the digital and physical worlds together through moments of powerful emotional impact.

Space Exploration Technologies (NASDAQ: SPCX) made history in June when it completed the largest IPO in history. It's been a wild ride for the ****** e company since then. It opened at $150, meaningfully up from its IPO price of $135, and rose to as high as $225 in the following weeks. However, the stock has been mostly southbound recently, and at $109 as of writing, it is down 19% from its IPO price. Where will the stock go from here? Perhaps we can get a clue by looking at Tesla's (NASDAQ: TSLA) first year on the market. The other publicly traded corporation headed by Elon Musk bears some similarities to ****** eX. Let's dig in.

NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan captain Zaheer Abbas has thrown his weight behind Indian batting icons Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, insisting that both veterans still have plenty left in the tank and should be part of India's squad for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
The legendary Pakistan batter, popularly known as the 'Asian Bradman', dismissed concerns surrounding the duo's age and said their skill, experience and continued ability to score runs make them automatic contenders for the marquee tournament, which will be jointly hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
"Both are very, very good in terms of skill and, given their experience, I don't see any reason why they should not play the World Cup. Age should not be a factor as long as they are fit and continue scoring runs," news agency PTI quoted Zaheer as saying on a Pakistani television channel.
Zaheer, regarded as one of Pakistan's finest batters after scoring more than 100 first-class centuries during his illustrious career, believes Kohli and Rohit possess qualities that only grow stronger with time.
According to the former Pakistan skipper, scoring runs becomes second nature for players of their calibre after spending years at the highest level, while their experience remains invaluable in major ICC tournaments.
He also ******* sed the fitness of the two Indian greats, saying Kohli continues to maintain exceptional physical standards.
"Kohli is still supremely fit, while Rohit just needs to pay a little more attention to his fitness," Zaheer observed.
The Pakistan great added that India would benefit immensely from having both veterans in the dressing room during the 2027 World Cup campaign.
His remarks come at a time when speculation over the future of India's senior stars continues despite both producing match-winning performances in the ODI format.
Zaheer reserved special praise for Rohit after watching the former Indian captain's recent century against England, saying the opener's batting remains a delight to watch.
"I watched Rohit score a hundred against England, and it is still a pleasure to watch him bat. He plays so effortlessly and with such sweet timing," he said.
Rohit's knock against England once again underlined his credentials in the 50-over format, while Kohli has also continued to deliver consistently, strengthening the argument that the experienced pair could still play a crucial role at the next World Cup.
Reflecting on the changing nature of modern cricket, Zaheer acknowledged that T20 cricket has introduced several innovative strokes into the game. However, he insisted that the fundamentals remain just as important, saying every batter aspiring to succeed across formats must master traditional shots like the cover drive and the cut shot.
The former Pakistan captain also spoke about his country's cricketing future, expressing confidence that better days lie ahead.

The Denver Broncos ended the Kansas City Chiefs' nine-year reign atop the AFC West in 2025. Can Sean Payton and the Broncos repeat?
Quarterback Bo Nix is coming off ankle surgery but he's optimistic his surgically repaired ankle won't hinder him this year. Helping matters is Denver's splash trade for speedy wide receiver Jaylen Waddle.
The Chiefs endured a nightmare season, but three-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes is confident he'll be ready to roll in Week 1 following a season-ending knee injury in 2025. The Chiefs signed Super Bowl 60 MVP Kenneth Walker III but also lost starting cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson this offseason.
The Chargers earned playoff berths in each of the past two seasons. Los Angeles hired the innovative Mike McDaniel as offensive coordinator to spark its offense.
In Las Vegas, the Raiders made plenty of changes, headlined by 2026 No. 1 overall pick, quarterback Fernando Mendoza and head coach Klint Kubiak. But they still face an uphill battle in arguably the best division in football.

The Jaffna Kings will continue their Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2026 campaign despite their franchise rights being terminated by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) and tournament organiser Innovative Production Group (IPG) over financial and contractual breaches. The decision, announced on Thursday, sees all franchise rights revert to IPG, which, alongside SLC, has ******* umed complete operational control of the four-time champions to ensure the tournament proceeds without disruption.
According to SLC and IPG, the franchise owners failed to fulfil their financial obligations under the franchise agreement. The termination comes in the middle of the tournament following a series of controversies surrounding the ownership group, Sports Commune.
Co-owner Manjot Kalra was arrested over corruption-related allegations, while another owner, Mayank Goel, has become unreachable. The ownership group also allegedly failed to pay player and staff salaries and mismanaged sponsor funds, leading to the cancellation of the franchise agreement.
As a result, IPG and SLC have taken direct control of the team's operations. Despite the ownership shake-up, the Jaffna Kings will continue under the same name with their existing squad, coaching staff and support personnel.
IPG CEO Anil Mohan stressed that safeguarding the tournament's integrity remained the organisers' top priority.
"While this was a difficult decision, our priority has always been to protect the integrity of the Lanka Premier League and ensure complete stability for our players, coaches, partners and fans. Together with Sri Lanka Cricket, we have acted swiftly to ensure the Jaffna Kings continue to participate in the tournament without disruption. We want to ******* ure everyone that all operational matters, including player contracts, staff commitments and team logistics, are being managed seamlessly. The sixth edition of the LPL will proceed as planned, and we remain fully committed to delivering another successful and world-class tournament," Anil Mohan said.
On the field, the Bhanuka Rajapaksa-led Jaffna Kings have made a positive start to their campaign, winning two of their first three matches. The sixth edition of the Lanka Premier League began on July 17 and is scheduled to conclude on August 8.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine's fired defense minister said Thursday he has rejected President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's efforts to persuade him to rejoin the government in a different role where he could continue fighting Russia's more than 4-year-old invasion.
Mykhailo Fedorov, who was dismissed last week after just six months in the job, is a youthful and popular public figure due to his success in modernizing the armed forces and giving Ukraine an edge in the war through innovative use of technology. He has also cracked down on corruption in military procurement.
His departure triggered street protests across Ukraine that have put pressure on Zelenskyy and cheered Moscow officials.
Fedorov said in a statement that leading the Defense Ministry was one of only three jobs that "actually shape the course of the war," along with the presidency and chief of the armed forces.
He said that he would "not accept any position other than" defense minister, in what amounted to a defiant stance against Zelenskyy.

It's rare to find something new in the ancient game. Yet next spring at the ultra-exclusive Nanea Golf Club, an innovative LPGA event will feature the best pros and collegiate players in the country on the No. 1-ranked course in Hawaii.
"It is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful, arguably spiritual golf courses on planet Earth," said LPGA commissioner Craig Kessler, "and it's never been seen on TV before."
That will change March 11-14 when Golf Channel's "Live From" show at the Players Championship leads into primetime tournament coverage for the LPGA on the Big Island.
A field of 95 LPGA pros and 25 collegiate players will play alongside each other, from the same tees, in two competitions that will run concurrently, the tour has announced. The five teams will include Stanford, Arkansas, Texas A&M, the University of Texas and UCLA.
A women's college golf event has been held at Nanea, and hosted by Stanford, since 2013. What started as the Pac 12 Preview became the Nanea Invitational, with an impressive champions list that includes Alison Lee, Bronte Law, Andrea Lee, Rose Zhang and Megha Ganne.

Harris Oakmark recently released its second-quarter 2026 investor letter for the "Oakmark Global Fund". A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. It is a non-diversified fund that focuses on long-term capital appreciation by investing in common stocks of U.S. and non-U.S. companies. In the second quarter, the fund (Investor Class) delivered a return of 7.89%, lagging the benchmark, the MSCI World Index's 13.76% return. Energy and industrials were the top performance contributors at the sector level, while health care and consumer discretionary detracted from performance. AI remains a key market theme. The firm focuses on evaluating companies based on their competitive advantages, long-term cash flow potential, and valuation, not predictions. In addition, you can check the Fund's top five holdings to determine its best picks for 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Oakmark Global Fund highlighted AstraZeneca PLC (NYSE:AZN) as a newly added position. AstraZeneca PLC (NYSE:AZN) is a leading multinational biopharmaceutical company focusing on the development and discovery of prescription medicines. On July 15, 2026, AstraZeneca PLC (NYSE:AZN) closed at $168.37 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $261.12 billion. AstraZeneca PLC (NYSE:AZN) posted a one-month return of -3.75%, while its shares gained 18.55% over the past 52 weeks.
Oakmark Global Fund stated the following regarding AstraZeneca PLC (NYSE:AZN) in its Q2 2026 investor update:
"AstraZeneca PLC (NYSE:AZN) is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. It researches, develops and commercializes prescription medicines designed to treat lung and breast cancers, cardiorenal diseases, respiratory problems and other rare diseases. We believe AstraZeneca's robust on-market portfolio and sector-leading late-stage pipeline provide an attractive growth profile. Moreover, we believe the company can build on its long track record of a productive research and development program, thanks to its innovative culture and exceptional management team. In our view, CEO Pascal Soriot is one of the industry's best executives, and he has cultivated a deep bench of talent, a robust decision-making framework and a differentiated R&D culture that should drive strong growth for years to come, in our view. Recent concerns over United States regulations have overshadowed AstraZeneca's merits and weighed on the broader pharmaceutical industry. This opened a window for us to purchase shares of this company at a price well below our estimate of its intrinsic value."

There's a great deal to like about geothermal energy producer Fervo Energy (FRVO), including its large "potential backlog," the fact that major tech and other energy companies have made deals with the firm, and its innovative technology. Most recently on the latter front, the firm disclosed significant improvement in its drilling rates.
Still, given the company's enormous valuation, a meaningful logistical hurdle that it's reportedly facing, and the weakness of FRVO stock in recent weeks, the shares appear to be too risky to hold at this point. Also worth considering, as I've pointed out in a number of articles, is the fact that the Street often is very bullish on new technologies in their early days and then subsequently sours a great deal on them. In fact, Fervo may already be undergoing this process.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Ravens fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
The Ravens embraced change this offseason. Since January, Baltimore has a new head coach, new play-callers on both sides of the ball, an entirely rebuilt interior offensive line, and a significantly improved defensive line. And in this week’s Ravens Reacts survey, we want to know which change will make the biggest impact this year! Here’s an argument for each option in the survey:
Jesse Minter: This one is pretty simple. The Chargers fielded a top-10 defense in both of Minter’s years as DC, and putting a top-10 defense opposite a Lamar Jackson-led offense will only lead to success. At a higher level, Minter is preaching accountability and standards as he installs a new culture in Baltimore that will hopefully reverse a trend of blown leads and disappointing playoff losses. This change at the top affects every single part of the team, and it will take a strong effort from Minter to bring the Ravens back to Super Bowl contention right away.
Declan Doyle: On the other side of the ball, the Ravens’ new 29-year-old offensive coordinator will be looking to bring Jackson and Baltimore’s offense to new heights. The two-time MVP is working with a young, innovative offensive mind for the first time in his career, and the results could be explosive. If Doyle can quickly conjure the same success as his mentors Sean Payton and Ben Johnson, the Ravens offense should be among the best in the league and Jackson could take home his third MVP.
Trey Hendrickson: The Ravens made an uncharacteristically aggressive pursuit of elite edge rushing talent this offseason. They nearly sent two first-round picks to the Raiders for Maxx Crosby before pivoting to a four-year, $112 million deal for Hendrickson. The former Bengal is coming off a down year due to injury, but he put up 17.5 sacks in both 2023 and 2024, more than any Raven has logged in a single season. Post-injury and crossing into his 30s, he may not return to those heights, but he could still be the team’s most effective pass rusher in at least a decade.

Declan Doyle: On the other side of the ball, the Ravens’ new 29-year-old offensive coordinator will be looking to bring Jackson and Baltimore’s offense to new heights. The two-time MVP is working with a young, innovative offensive mind for the first time in his career, and the results could be explosive. If Doyle can quickly conjure the same success as his mentors Sean Payton and Ben Johnson, the Ravens offense should be among the best in the league and Jackson could take home his third MVP.
Trey Hendrickson: The Ravens made an uncharacteristically aggressive pursuit of elite edge rushing talent this offseason. They nearly sent two first-round picks to the Raiders for Maxx Crosby before pivoting to a four-year, $112 million deal for Hendrickson. The former Bengal is coming off a down year due to injury, but he put up 17.5 sacks in both 2023 and 2024, more than any Raven has logged in a single season. Post-injury and crossing into his 30s, he may not return to those heights, but he could still be the team’s most effective pass rusher in at least a decade.
