Alan Ritchson and his wife, Catherine, are putting a positive spin on their shock divorce, but friends of the former couple are bracing themselves for a messy situation in the months ahead, a source tells the National Enquirer.
"People around Alan were pretty shocked at the timing of this break-up, especially because being an involved, sensitive dad has been central to Alan's identity for so long," reveals the source. "That's still the thing he's most broken up about with this divorce: it's going to mean less time with [sons Calem, Edan and Amory] and there's almost nothing he can do about that."
After twenty years of marriage, the Reacher star, 43, and his writer-producer wife, 42, announced their split in a joint Instagram post on September 12, pledging to become the "strongest co-parents" they can be. "We also want to give each other room to grow into the people we are becoming," the statement read.
"[Alan] was quite protective of Catherine and the kids when the Reacher series first got started, and then the show kind of took over everything and made him richer and way more famous than he ever expected," admits the source. "It's a lot to go through in just a few short years, and Alan's insane training schedule, completely apart from the long filming days, didn't make things easier."

James Madison rolled to a bit of history on Saturday with a dominant win over Wagner: The Dukes' 87-3 victory over the Seahawks tied a record for the most points ever scored by an FBS team in a game.
The previous 87-point record was set exactly two years ago, as South Alabama dropped a 87-10 victory over Northwestern State on Sept. 12, 2024. JMU's win, though, came with an even larger margin of victory, beating Wagner by a whopping 84 points.
The Dukes, who are in their first season under former Florida head coach Billy Napier, dropped absolutely insane numbers in the beatdown: 12 touchdowns in total, off 588 total offensive yards (near-evenly split between passing and rushing). Three of JMU's touchdowns came off punt returns, starting with a blocked punt on Wagner's first drive of the game and later followed by two returns from Michael Scott.
Ouch 😳 pic.twitter.com/CojLEhzjur
In all, the Dukes scored touchdowns off all but two of their drives — one of which ended with a fumble (in the second quarter), and another that ended with a field goal (in the third quarter).

Well STS readers, I come to you this week recovering from an extremely sobering experience last Saturday night. I predicted a fight even in a loss, and if it even qualified as a fight, it resembled Drago vs. Apollo in Rocky IV. Probably an adequate ******* ogy because Apollo USED to be great, but he was no match for the modernized superweapon Drago. Did the Soviets cheat to develop him? Absolutely, but at that point they were doing whatever it took to be superior no matter the morality of it. Clemson fans like me could be heard yelling "throw in the ******* towel!" by maybe the fourth possession of the game. It was that obvious that Clemson was completely and totally outmatched at the lines of scrimmage and the surrounding skill had zero chance because of it on either side of the ball.
How did it come to this? I posted this in a comment on the game review thread and will paste it here as it summarizes what I have painfully allowed myself to realize: "I hate it for Dabo and others who really want to do this the way it is supposed to be done, which is to develop men and grow boys to men and that takes time more often than not. That is what the transfer portal and NIL and lack of tampering control has created and as much as Dabo has tried to evolve I just don't see how he could ever get to what actually has to be done now if you want to be elite. I bet if you begin to track LSU, Ohio State, Texas, etc, going forward, you will see that maybe 50% of their rosters will start and finish with them and the other half will be brought in from elsewhere at some stage of their five-year playing window. Dabo swallows hard just to have the maybe 15% we are up to now that would check that box. I totally understand why, but either Dabo has to let go of that OR Clemson needs a huge break and actual sane rules return to CFB. Otherwise, we are back to 1995 where we might be able to beat ok teams and bad teams but are done beating anyone that is legit top 15 in stature."
I am a Clemson Tiger for life and lived through the lean years between Ford and Dabo. I'll still tune in and attend games when I can, but I know now that something has to give if Clemson is ever going to hope to compete at the highest level and it may get worse before it can get better. I'm still looking for pathways to wins, as many wins as this team can find a way to manage. I agree they are likely better than that product we saw in Baton Rouge, but that is not saying a lot either considering how FCS level the Tigers looked in that game.
I also want to add that I highly recommend gear from our sponsor Section 103. Their polos in particular have already become some of my favorites in the closet.

Who missed the most INSANE match of the 2026 Brasileirão?
The 27th round of the competition began with Coritiba versus Athletico this Friday (11).
And it was a CHAOTIC clash at Couto Pereira, the stage for the 401st Athletiba in history.
There were cards, scuffles, puddles, and even a red card based on the "Vini Jr. Law."
Furacão had a one-man advantage and was leading 3-1 until the 90th minute at the home of their biggest rival.

After four big wins in the quarterfinals, the United States, France, Spain, and Germany all earned their spots in the semifinals. Saturday's two matchups will be intense. Each team left in the competition can find its way to the finals. Let's take a look at the two semifinal games.
France has been putting up insane statistics during this tournament. Between breaking the single-game three-point record and heavily outscoring their opponents, it is safe to say they are the team to beat. However, this semifinal clash against Germany, who have home-court advantage, will be their biggest test of the tournament.
The good news for France is their depth. There are many strong players who have been coming off the bench and making an impact. One of those players is none other than Marine Johannès. Johannès ranks eighth in the tournament in points scored per game with 16.5. She is currently leading the tournament with 16 three-pointers made so far. Once again, Johannès is not starting in games and making a strong impact each time.

Meanwhile, starter Gabby Williams has been playing some of her best basketball in the World Cup. If she continues this strong play, France has a strong chance to make it into the finals.

The 2024-25 Boston Celtics set the NBA single-season three-point record with 1,457 makes across 82 games. Three different Celtics players made at least 250 threes that season, something no team had ever seen before. The question heading into 2026-27 is whether the Hornets can break the NBA three-point record.
Analyst Tom Haberstroh specifically named Charlotte as a genuine contender. Looking at the roster, it is not hard to see why.
" I think this Charlotte Hornets team, even though they lost LaMelo Ball, who was at times the most high-volume scorer, shooter in the NBA from downtown, still, I think this team, dude, I think they have a chance to break the three-point record next year," Haberstroh said on The Kevin O'Connor Show. "You got Coby White, who's a 95, 96 percentile volume three-point shooter. Good three-point shooter off the dribble. Kon Knueppel, we already know; the fact that he led the league in threes as a rookie is insane. Brandon Miller, also a high-volume three-point shooter."

Look at what Charlotte is putting on the floor. Kon Knueppel made 273 threes in his rookie season — the most in NBA history by a first-year player. Grayson Allen is 40.3% from three in his career. Royce O'Neale shoots 38.9% from deep while White (36.9%) and Naz Reid (37.1%) connect at 36.9% and 37.1%, respectively.

Robert De Niro's political reputation took an unexpected turn according to an AI image Donald Trump shared on Truth Social. The post depicted the veteran actor wearing a pro-Trump message, despite De Niro's long record of publicly opposing the president and his administration.
Donald Trump posted the apparently AI-created picture on Truth Social Sunday, showing Robert De Niro holding a red shirt emblazoned with "TRUMP IS MY PRESIDENT." The president added his own jab, writing, "Even this jerk is beginning to get it," while offering no indication that the actor had actually changed his political position (via The Independent).
De Niro has spent decades building one of Hollywood's most respected acting careers. His résumé includes Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas, while his performances have earned him two Academy Awards. Away from the screen, however, he has become equally recognizable for his outspoken opposition to Trump.
That stance stretches back years. Before the 2016 election, De Niro branded Trump a "pig," "punk," and "bulls*** artist." In 2019, he escalated his criticism by calling Trump "evil" and saying he could not wait to see him imprisoned. His latest comments to USA Today last month remained just as blunt.
"I don't even use the word 'hope' anymore," De Niro said of Trump's administration, warning that it could damage America and other parts of the world. "He's just going to destroy not only the country, but other parts of the world. It's insane. That's a big concern of mine, and I think a lot of people now," the actor continued.

Well, that is quite the vote of confidence from the oddsmakers.
The Tennessee Volunteers have had a Week 2 road date at Georgia Tech circled for quite a while on the calendar. The Vols' biggest non-conference game, it's one that could be a true swing game to the season for the Big Orange. It's one that some have circled as interesting and a true potential challenge for Josh Heupel.
But Vegas made a pretty strong statement about the game after the Week 1 results unfolded for both teams. Tennessee opens as a 13.5-point road favorite against the Yellow Jackets.
That's a very big number, and higher than I thought it would be.
I have to wonder how much of that came from the Yellow Jackets' late-game blunder on Thursday against Colorado. Tech led 10-7 and had the ball deep inside Colorado territory first-and-10 with two minutes left. They lost 14-13 on a blocked field goal at the gun in a truly insane final two minutes of the game. But they led for the vast majority of the game and really gave that game away.

Yes, there is such a thing as a good 5-5 start – at least for now, considering how insane it is to try figuring out all these teams with mostly new players.
What's so good about it? Going 3-2 yesterday was fine, and over the first two runs, one loss was that horrific Hawaii beat against Stanford, another came in the final seconds of Illinois-UAB, and then there's the whopper – thinking Rutgers would destroy UMass. Historically shocking whiff, cap tipped, moving on.
There aren't many options for the Friday games, but let's force down an appetizer before the smorgasbord on Saturday.
Last Week's Results: 5-5
– All the Week 1 Picks
– Week 1 Expert Picks
Line: Point Total 46.5
ATS Pick: Under
This is one of those picks to see if we have our in-season game legs early on. Seriously, feel free to ignore this one, because it's a little dangerous.
Both teams have new coaching staffs, new ideas, and wholesale personnel changes. That, and 46.5 isn't all that hard to hit – the original call to make this one of the games was when the total was 49.5.
Again, I'm flying a bit blind here, but it's Pat Fitzgerald with a pieced-together team. It'll be about the defense and running game. Mike Jacobs' Toledo side will keep the chains moving and the clock rolling. This should be a good, tough fight.
– Toledo vs Michigan State Game Preview
Line: Kansas -41.5
ATS Pick: Kansas
It's a small sample size, but one key mini-trend isn't shocking – with the exception of Buffalo against Albany, FBS teams are annihilating the FCSers.
Utah 66, Idaho 14
UCF 73, Bethune-Cookman 6
Missouri 54, UAPB 14
Delaware 42, Merrimack 7
Kennesaw State 47, West Georgia 0 (I LOVED this and chickened out yesterday, not making this one of the five best picks)
Minnesota 59, Eastern Illinois 7
I never change our call on the predicted final score in our game previews unless something insane happens, but Kansas big at home against LIU – partly because it'll likely go full throttle for a full 60 minutes – was the call from the start. If anything, we were probably too conservative on what the Jayhawks will do.
– LIU vs Kansas Game Preview
Sticking with that FBS blowout over FCS thing …
Line: Purdue -35.5, o/u: 55.5
ATS Pick: Purdue
There's no need to do a deep dive here. Purdue has a brutal schedule ahead, it's been a rough run over the last few years, and the coaches will keep pushing because the program has to set a new tone. Purdue beat Indiana State 49-0 in 2024, and Indiana slipped past the Sycamores by 73 last year.
– Indiana State vs Purdue Game Preview
Line: Point Total 47.5
ATS Pick: Over
Two things are in play here. First, the Stanford defense didn't look like anything special once the Hawaii offense got rolling in the 37-27 Cardinal win. There's a real chance Miami takes care of most of the total on its own.
Here's the second part – the line is 24.5. In the six games last year when Miami won by more than that, all but the 38-7 win over Pi

The mood in the Bayern camp was a positive one following the result, with Harry Kane and Tom Bischof both praising their side's performance. Head coach Vincent Kompany echoed those sentiments after the final whistle.
As was the case in recent Bundesliga victories over VfB Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund, Bayern once again failed to keep a clean sheet. However, Kompany was largely satisfied with what he saw from his team in Osnabrück.
Speaking to ARD after the game, the Belgian said:
"Yes, it went well, but the first goal was insane. The way the goal was scored, that was just incredible. It really created a great atmosphere, especially in the first ten minutes. But we stayed calm. And above all, we played a solid second half. We knew beforehand that it wouldn't be easy."
Kompany was reluctant to place the blame for the goal solely on his central defenders, instead praising Osnabrück for the quality of their play in the challenge.

Cardale Jones never envisioned being a football coach.
It's a ***** le he's still trying to get used to after joining Matty Jacowleff's staff at Staples as quarterbacks coach this summer.
Part of the fun, of course, is when players find out about Jones' past, a history that features a national championship at Ohio State in 2014.
So how often do the players bring up the championship while working with Jones?
"Every day," Jones said with a laugh. "These guys are insane. They're relentless. Every day, it's another kid coming up to me and saying 'coach Jones, in my free period today, I looked you up on YouTube. I watched you play with this guy and that guy. Man, you were good.'

Dan Hurley's historically successful run with UConn men's basketball peaked in the spring of 2024, when his Huskies rampaged through the NCAA Tournament to clinch a second consecutive championship.
On Wednesday, CBS Sports released the latest installment of the publication's "Candid Coaches" series, asking 100 anonymous coaches to name the best college basketball team of the 21st century. Fueled by this outstanding postseason run, UConn's 2023-24 team was the most popular answer, with 17% of coaches choosing the Huskies and several highlighting Hurley's role in cultivating such historic dominance.
"Insanely dominant," one coach told CBS about the Huskies. "Five NBA players in the starting lineup. Best coach in the sport on the sidelines."
That ***** le run is part of an ongoing stretch of postseason excellence for UConn, as the Huskies reached their third national championship game in four seasons this past April before falling against Michigan. The 2025-26 Michigan team, fueled by a dominant frontcourt of Yaxel Lendeborg, Morez Johnson and Aday Mara, is tied for second place at 14% with the 2000-01 Duke squad. Other top answers include 2017-18 Villanova, 2006-07 Florida and John Calipari's Kentucky squads from 2011-12 and 2014-15.
For a group of reigning champions, the 2023-24 UConn squad was hardly a runaway favorite to make another national ***** le run, as Hurley needed to replace several key contributors, including star centers Adama Sanogo and wings Andre Jackson and Jordan Hawkins. The Huskies appeared somewhat mortal early on, letting a late lead against Kansas slip away at Allen Fieldhouse to kick off December before a stunning 15-point road loss at Seton Hall three weeks later.

On Wednesday, CBS Sports released the latest installment of the publication's "Candid Coaches" series, asking 100 anonymous coaches to name the best college basketball team of the 21st century. Fueled by this outstanding postseason run, UConn's 2023-24 team was the most popular answer, with 17% of coaches choosing the Huskies and several highlighting Hurley's role in cultivating such historic dominance.
"Insanely dominant," one coach told CBS about the Huskies. "Five NBA players in the starting lineup. Best coach in the sport on the sidelines."
That ***** le run is part of an ongoing stretch of postseason excellence for UConn, as the Huskies reached their third national championship game in four seasons this past April before falling against Michigan. The 2025-26 Michigan team, fueled by a dominant frontcourt of Yaxel Lendeborg, Morez Johnson and Aday Mara, is tied for second place at 14% with the 2000-01 Duke squad.

NEW YORK — During the fourth game of Alexandra Eala's first-round match at the US Open, a long point unfolded that drew gasps and cheers with increasing frequency. By the time Eala sent a passing shot by American Mary Stoiana to finish it off, it had built to a full roar.
Chair umpire Marijana Veljovic was not amused.
"Please," she warned the crowd. "Out of respect for both players, keep your voices down."
As Eala has risen up the rankings this season to the point where she's a fringe contender for the US Open ***** le, fan etiquette has become a topic around her matches. As the first significant tennis player from the Philippines, she has drawn remarkable crowds from one tournament to the next, filled largely with people who are new to the sport and not steeped in the customs of when to cheer and when to be quiet.
It has created some insane atmospheres at otherwise sleepy tennis tournaments. It has also rankled some opponents, or at least made them uncomfortable. After losing to Eala in a final earlier this summer in Washington, D.C., in front of a heavily partisan crowd, American Jessica Pegula acknowledged it was like playing a road game.

CNN host and former advisor to President Barack Obama Van Jones questioned if Michigan Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed thought he was "smarter than Barack Obama" on foreign policy in fiery comments discussing the "dangerous" beliefs held by many progressive figures in the Democratic Party.
El-Sayed, a vocal critic of Israel and former CNN commentator, has been embroiled in political controversies regarding his stance toward Israel and his relationship with a famous left-wing livestreamer, Hasan Piker.
In late August, Jones appeared on the "Ask Haviv Anything" podcast, where he addressed how the long and historic alliance between Black and Jewish Americans has recently fractured. He went on to criticize El-Sayed over his stance on Israel, saying, "his positions on Israel and foreign policy are insane."
"Look, some Democrats are going to say that we should condition military aid. That, you know, 'Israel's gone too far in Gaza and in the West Bank and in Lebanon. We're going to put some conditions on you.' I think that's a defensible position if you're a Democrat," he said. "That's not Abdul's position."
Van Jones Warns Far-left Socialist Agenda Is 'Regressive' Threat To Democratic Party

In less than two weeks, the 2026 NFL season kicks off. The big wave of drafts for season-long redraft fantasy leagues is here. It's time for my final rankings and tiers for fantasy football. I'm starting with the quarterbacks.
You can find my preliminary quarterback rankings and tiers, with commentary and ******* ysis, here. And you can find all my preseason fantasy content, including players to target and avoid, sleepers, drafting tips, and much more, here.
My QB rankings ******* ume four points per passing TD. My rankings haven't moved a lot over the last month. Notably, I dropped Jayden Daniels down a tier because I'm really worried about the Commanders' offensive line, and I ******* ped Justin Herbert up several spots as I think I had him too low. Finally, I broke my last tier into two pieces.
The key takeaway here is that quarterback is insanely deep with quality and upside. Draft accordingly!

Megyn Kelly isn't buying the insanity defense at the center of Lindsay Clancy's ongoing murder trial.
Clancy, 36, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the January 2023 strangulation deaths of her three children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8, at the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts, home. If convicted, she faces life in prison without parole.
Court TV
On the Tuesday, August 25, episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly, 55, argued that Clancy's case does not meet the legal standard for insanity. To make her point, she compared Clancy to Jeffrey Dahmer, the notorious serial killer who killed 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991. Dahmer pleaded guilty but insane to 15 murders in Wisconsin, but a jury found him legally sane in 1992, despite testimony about his mental and personality disorders, Live5News reported. He was killed in prison in 1994, at age 34.
"If anybody would ever meet the definition of legally insane, it should be somebody like a Jeffrey Dahmer," Kelly said on the podcast. "A jury rejected the insanity defense of Jeffrey Dahmer. I'm sorry, but Lindsay Clancy is far closer to sane than Jeffrey Dahmer was, but she's trying the same defense."

PHOENIX (AP) — A polygamous sect leader already serving a 50-year federal sentence for orchestrating ***** involving children was given another 24 years in prison Tuesday on separate state convictions for child abuse for hauling girls in an unventilated trailer in Arizona.
Samuel Bateman, 50, was convicted of three child abuse counts stemming from an August 2022 traffic stop in Flagstaff that led to the discovery of three girls, ages 11 to 14, in the trailer. It had a makeshift toilet, sofa and camping chairs and lacked air conditioning and seat belts. Someone tipped off authorities about the trailer after seeing small fingers reaching through gaps in the doors.
Bateman's small group was an offshoot of the polygamous sect once led by Warren Jeffs. Bateman is currently serving 50 years in federal prison for coercing girls as young as 9 to submit to ***** acts with him and other adults and for scheming to kidnap girls from protective custody — the story of which is the focus of the Netflix series, "Trust Me: The False Prophet."
Citing an "insane danger" to the girls in the trailer, among other factors, Judge Joshua Steinlage ordered Bateman to serve the state sentence after completing the 50-year federal sentence.
"I love these dear people with all my heart, and I had no intention in the entire world to harm them," said Bateman, who represented himself in the case and didn't make a plea for leniency during his sentencing hearing.

Expect a much fresher "RDR."
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight contender Reinier de Ridder makes his Light Heavyweight debut against Roman Dolidze on the UFC Sacramento main card this weekend (Sat., Aug. 22, 2026) inside Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California.
And the move is probably long overdue.
Despite enjoying tremendous success at Middleweight — climbing within one victory of a potential ***** le shot — de Ridder destroyed his body in the process of making the 185-pound limit.
At 6'4," de Ridder was gigantic for the division. During his first year with UFC, the Dutch fighter successfully made Middleweight five times, which seems absolutely insane in hindsight.

Well, here's an interesting story — Pape Matar Sarr might actually have a market. According to AfricaFoot (not really a Tier 1 source but interesting nonetheless), Galatasaray have an interest in the Senegalese midfielder and have gone as far as to agree personal terms with Sarr, but as of the time of this posting the clubs haven't come to an agreement over a transfer fee.
The report states that the personal agreement is for wages in Turkey of €9m/year which comes out to about £148k/wk. What it does NOT state is whether those wages are gross, or if they're net — Turkey is pretty well-known for being able to offer incredible wages to footballers because they have favorable tax situations there. It's famously why Victor Osimhen is at Galatasaray right now and not an actually good football club, and why actually good football clubs are hesitant to try and purchase him because he's on absolutely insane gross wages there.
The article also suggests Gala are wanting a three year contract for Sarr. It doesn't state whether the clubs are actually in talks at all, and so if any of this is true I'd expect to see it in the English papers before too long. Transfermarkt, which is notoriously unreliable when it comes to actual player values, lists Sarr as being worth around £25m, but who knows what he'll actually go for.
Sarr has been a player linked with an exit this summer for a while now, and it wouldn't surprise me if he goes. He's a player with a lot of utility and a motor that lasts for days, but he hasn't developed the technical skills that Spurs hoped for when they signed him from Metz a few years ago. He probably needs a fresh start somewhere else and I can see him doing well in Turkey or a return to Ligue 1.

Director Griff Furst came under fire Tuesday following his tribute for late actress Hayden Panettiere, with some blasting the post as "ambulance chasing."
For those who didn't see the video statement uploaded to Instagram, Furst, who directed Panettiere in one of her last movies, 2025's "A Breed Apart," explained he wanted to speak directly to his fans out of fear tabloids would take what he had to share "out of context."
"I had met Hayden about 10 years before that and I knew that she was insanely talented, so when she signed on to do this picture that we were shooting, I was psyched," Furst recalled. "I really wanted to work with her. So I'm on set, and I get word from the movie's security team who picked her up from the airport that something was off."
He continued: "I didn't think much about it, and so I left set and I walked over to greet her and her boyfriend Brian [Hickerson]. He opened the door. Hayden was incredibly sweet and gracious and excited to work, but she was not okay."
"I'm not going to get into the details of why that was, but having worked on over 100 movies and seeing just about everything, it was pretty clear that she wasn't okay," Furst noted. "And the energy in her room was pretty dark."

WATCH: Charles Johnson hits insanely rare Scottish twister submission at UFC 330
The UFC's official X account tweeted out video of Brito's stunning knockout, dubbing it "a knockout for the ages" and "one of the best knockout's we've ever seen on DWCS."

Pittsburgh — Max Clark and some of the other Detroit Tigers rookies went to dinner in Pittsburgh Sunday night. The topic quickly turned to the one thing they all have in common right now — the vagaries, nuances and challenges of transitioning and adjusting to big-league pitching.
"We were talking about how it's just insane how quickly the league transitions," Clark said. "It's not week by week. It's literally series by series."
It didn't take the league long to see that Clark, when he first came up, was susceptible to high-velocity fastballs and he was seeing a healthy dose of them. Going into Monday, 72.4% of the pitches he'd seen were heaters, four-seamers or sinkers.
He was hitting .227 on the four-seamers and .267 on the sinkers.
So imagine Cleveland right-hander Tanner Bibee's surprise last Tuesday when Clark laced a 93.6 mph heater for a single with an exit velocity of 103.6 mph. Later in the game he smoked another fastball to the track.

Michael Jordan played in the NBA for 15 seasons between 1984 and 2003, and was widely considered one of the greatest athletes of his generation. But he wasn't the best.
That would have been his contemporary, Bo Jackson. Jackson played both professional baseball and football, and was an All-Star in each.
His professional baseball career started in 1986, and his NFL career in 1987.
His career – both of them – were full of legendary moments. Negro Leagues legend Buck O'Neill said that when Jackson hit the ball, he connected with a ferocity that he had only ever heard from two players: Babe Ruth and Josh Gibson.
Then there was the wall running and the insane passes.

Deion Sanders has never done things the conventional way, and his latest rules for fall training camp put him right back in the national crosshairs. When Coach Prime restricted standard media access, national sports commentators quickly jumped on the story, accusing him of trying to control the press and shield his team from tough questions.
While national pundits tore into the decision, a voice deep within the Colorado football family offered a very different perspective. Liz Munsterteiger, whose late husband, Adam, spent over two decades covering the Buffaloes before his passing in May 2026, shared a clear, thoughtful reflection on social media that cut through the noise.
Writing to the fanbase and media community, Liz admitted she was never the one drawing up X's and O's, but she knew the beat inside and out: "When I started this BuffStampede journey, I made it clear l'd never have the football knowledge to be one of the beat writers. That hasn't changed. But I do know what I witnessed over nine years of watching adamcm777 lose access to this team, bit by bit. I've been thinking about him a lot watching this whole "fight" over DeionSanders and CUBuffsFootball opening practice to media with restrictions," she tweeted.
"Adam covered this program for more than 20 years, through a lot of coaches and a lot of different eras of access. He'd find it insane that opening the gates more somehow became a story about shutting media out."

Anne Hathaway teared up after being named a Disney Legend at an event on Sunday afternoon.
The Oscar-winning actress was presented with the honour by her The Devil Wears Prada director, David Frankel, amid The Disney Legends Award ceremony held in Anaheim, California.
"I am here today because I'm one of the most insanely lucky people in the world," she began, appearing emotional. "How lucky am I that I was born into a family where acting, storytelling and imagination were valued and celebrated."
Anne, who is currently expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman, went on to credit late director Garry Marshall, as well as co-producers Debra Martin Chase and the late Whitney Houston, for selecting her to play Mia Thermopolis in the hit 2001 movie, The Princess Diaries.
She also thanked the team behind the 2006 comedy-drama, The Devil Wears Prada, including co-stars Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt.
"I'm so lucky that my first booking led to so many opportunities when I was still so young, (like) getting a job that a million girls were built for in The Devil Wears Prada. I got to be with Stanley Tucci. I got to be with Emily Blunt. I got to be with um...oh what's her name," the 43-year-old continued, pretending to forget Meryl. "I've gotten to spend my life so far, doing what I love, having so many adventures along the way, knowing joy and valuing the extraordinarily good fortune that allows me to share my life with my greatest blessing - a family I couldn't love more."

The Dallas Cowboys were officially back on the field for the first time in 2026 on Saturday, and so too were the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. There were certainly some moments that reminded us all this is just the first appetizer towards the main course of week one regular season football.
The Cowboys won this appetizer of a game 17-7, falling behind 7-0 after the Seahawks went down the field with a 13-play scoring drive that proved to be their biggest offensive highlight of the night. The Cowboys were the only team to score the rest of the game, with 14 of these points coming on insane highlight reel catches for touchdowns by UDFA wide receiver Camden Brown, one from Sam Howell and one from Joe Milton.
As we'll do after every single Cowboys contest this season, let's get to a few scouting notes on everything that went down between the Cowboys and Seahawks on Saturday night at Lumen Field.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer
On Dallas' first defensive possession to start the game, Caelen Carson and Shavon Revel Jr. were the two outside cornerbacks. Revel is technically a carryover from the failed Matt Eberflus defensive experiment of a year ago, but with so much missed time, he is primed to take to the coaching of Christian Parker and be the latest cornerback that takes leaps and strides under his secondary-focused coaching.

The Cowboys were the only team to score the rest of the game, with 14 of these points coming on insane highlight reel catches for touchdowns by UDFA wide receiver Camden Brown, one from Sam Howell and one from Joe Milton.
As we'll do after every single Cowboys contest this season, let's get to a few scouting notes on everything that went down between the Cowboys and Seahawks on Saturday night at Lumen Field.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer
On Dallas' first defensive possession to start the game, Caelen Carson and Shavon Revel Jr. were the two outside cornerbacks. Revel is technically a carryover from the failed Matt Eberflus defensive experiment of a year ago, but with so much missed time, he is primed to take to the coaching of Christian Parker and be the latest cornerback that takes leaps and strides under his secondary-focused coaching.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – There are no guarantees in golf and Scottie Scheffler's season, while insanely consistent, is a testament to how fickle the ancient game can be even for those at the very top of the competitive pyramid.
But even with the vagaries of golf, there was a competitive shudder when Scheffler maintained his two-shot lead at the FedEx St. Jude Championship with a third-round 68 that wasn't as explosive as the world No. 1's 61 on Friday but came with its own share of style points.
Scheffler's patience has been tested this season by his inability to win since The American Express, which he claimed in his first start of 2026 in January. The ball-striking has remained sublime but round after round has been slowed by poor putting. But that hasn't been the case at the playoff opener, where he is third in strokes gained: putting and he needed just 26 putts on Saturday.
Unlike Friday, when he birdied six of his first seven holes, Day 3 was more of a grind on the greens for Scheffler but he was able to maintain his lead and his momentum with timely par saves from 11 and 12 feet at Nos. 3 and 15, respectively.
"Any time you're holing those kind of 10- to 15-footers, it's really nice to keep the round going. I holed a few of those today. It was definitely important to keep the momentum in the round going," Scheffler said. "[No. 3 is a] reachable par-5, a hole where you think you're going to be able to give yourself a look for birdie at the worst. Kind of made a mess of the hole and was able to hole a nice putt there for par."

Mike D'Antoni has his prints all over the modern game of basketball.
The coach, who began his NBA career as an **** istant with the Denver Nuggets in the 1997-98 season before becoming head coach of the Phoenix Suns in the 2003-04 season, is being inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Saturday, Aug. 15 as part of the class of 2026.
In the 2000s, 'experts' thought D'Antoni was insane for idolizing offense and less defense. D'Antoni influenced the game through his up-tempo, 'space-and-pace' philosophy that helped redefine offensive strategy – emphasizing ball movement, shooting, and efficiency, and shaping the **** ytics-driven era of the sport.
His Suns' offense was deemed 'seven seconds or less,' meaning that players had the green light to shoot good, high-volume shots within seven seconds of a 24-second shot clock.
D'Antoni's impact spans continents, having coached professionally in Italy for eight seasons before bringing his ideas to the NBA. In addition to his stints with the Nuggets and the Suns, he was also head coach of the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets and an **** ociate head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers before ending his NBA career as an **** istant coach with the Brooklyn Nets.
