Rio Ngumoha has revealed that the demands new Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has asked from him in pre-season.
Ngumoha scored the decisive goal as Liverpool beat Wrexham 1-0 overnight, with the winger's strike taking a looping deflection to deceive Callum Burton.
The 17-year-old had a breakout campaign last season, which concluded with an England debut after being invited to join the Three Lions' pre-World Cup training campaign.
At club level, Ngumoha is now out to impress new head coach Iraola, and prove he can be a central part of the Spaniard's plans for the upcoming campaign.
Asked about Iraola's demands so far, Ngumoha outlined an emphasis on off-the-ball work, and how he is working on his unpredictability.

Welcome to another show at BCB After Dark: the grooviest spot for night owls, early risers, new parents and Cubs fans abroad. Come on in out of the heat. Everyone is welcome here. There's no cover charge. We still have a few tables available. Bring your own beverage.
BCB After Dark is the place for you to talk baseball, music, movies, or anything else you need to get off your chest, as long as it is within the rules of the site. The late-nighters are encouraged to get the party started, but everyone else is invited to join in as you wake up the next morning and into the afternoon.
Last night, I asked you what you'd give up for Padres reliever Adrián Morejón. The plurality of you, 31 percent of you to be exact, wouldn't give up any of my suggested prospects for Morejón. Thirty percent of you were willing to part with last year's first-round pick, Ethan Conrad.
On Tuesday night, I don't do movie stuff. But I will say, in reference to what I said about The Odyssey last night, I was in a Barnes & ******* le today and there were a couple of big Ancient Greek/Homer displays. But in any case, I always have time for jazz and that time is now.
Tonight I have pianist Robert Glasper performing Radiohead's "Everything in its Right Place" in Paris last month.

It's been nearly a month since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got married at Madison Square Garden. Several notable celebrities from the world of sports and entertainment were invited to the grand event.
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was also in attendance, and during a recent appearance on NBC, the 32-year-old said that he was there to 'bring vibes.' Kittle justified his role by wearing a 'Dumb and Dumber' inspired outfit with Robert Tonyan.
"Me and Rob Tonyan went to 'Dumb and Dumber'. We gave Travis a heads up," Kittle said. "The best part of it was we changed backstage, and the first person that we saw walking out was Travis and Taylor, and they both just broke out laughing at us."
"I was invited to that wedding to bring vibes and have a good time and party. So, we fulfilled our side of the bargain."
Even though it's been almost a month since their marriage, Kelce and Swift have not released wedding pictures for their fans. The fans are also waiting for more details about the big event.

Detroit Tigers fans who paid good money to be at Comerica Park on Monday night has reason to be upset. Their hometown team allowed the visiting Baltimore Orioles to score a bunch of early runs, which eventually sealed a third consecutive defeat for A.J. Hinch's team. Time is slipping away for the Tigers to make a run at the American League Central crown or, failing that, an American League wild card spot. And oh yeah, the latest stumbles might be just enough to convince the front office to send Tarik Skubal out of town at the trade deadline.
But all those frowns turned upside-down thanks to one uninvited guest who caused all types of chaos on the playing surface.
As hope began dwindling for the Tigers in the seventh inning, a squirrel made its way onto the diamond. It did not possess any type of healthy fear and therefore got really close to players and explored **** es that could have put it right in the center of the action. Orioles third base coach Buck Britton certainly did not help when he decided to feed the uninvited guest.
Eventually, everyone had enough of the squirrel and the decision was made to remove it from the premises.
That task proved easier on paper than in practice.

Just a few weeks ago, only a handful of members of the U.S. women's hockey team were expected to attend the ESPYs, the annual awards show honoring the year's biggest athletes, teams and moments in sports.
By Wednesday afternoon, many more of the reigning Olympic gold medalists were swapping jerseys for gowns inside a midtown Manhattan penthouse. Champagne was flowing. Hair and makeup artists buzzed around the room. Defenseman Mariah Keopple, who also works as a stylist, helped teammates put the finishing touches on their looks before they headed to the awards show, airing live Wednesday night from the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City.
It wasn't exactly the typical pregame routine for one of the world's best hockey teams. And none of it would have happened without an unlikely benefactor: Flavor Flav.
The Public Enemy legend learned last week from U.S. captain Hilary Knight that only a handful of players had been invited to the ESPYs, where Team USA is nominated for Best Team following its dramatic gold-medal victory at the 2026 Winter Olympics. For Flavor Flav, the solution was simple: "I got you."
That promise quickly snowballed.

Last week I asked you which Angels' starter you'd rather the Cubs trade for: José Soriano or Reid Detmers? The vote was reasonably close, but a clear majority of 56 percent of you said you'd rather the Cubs acquire Soriano.
Here's the part where we listen to jazz and talk movies. You're free to skip ahead if you want. Or you're free to read whatever parts you want. It's your call.
Tonight I'm just not going to play around. Here's some classic John Coltrane playing "Impressions" with his quartet: McCoy Tyner on piano, Jimmy Garrison on bass and Elvin Jones on drums.

Why is Sabrina Ionescu not in the WNBA's 3-Point Contest this weekend in Chicago? She won it last year, as well as in 2023, when she put up a record round of 37. Ionescu even briefly revitalized the NBA's competition in 2024 by going head-to-head with Steph Curry, only narrowly losing to the NBA legend.
However, Ionescu is not even in the pool of participants this time around.
There are a host of reasons that could explain this: Ionescu did not make the All-Star game amid an injury-plagued campaign for New York, while up-and-comers like Azzi Fudd and Rhyne Howard will replace some of Ionescu's star power. But across the WNBA and NBA, if a reigning victor wants to participate in any of the All-Star weekend festivities, they are welcomed back.
At a press conference leading into All-Star weekend, Ionescu claimed she was never invited.
"I can't decline an offer that I officially didn't get invited to," she said.

No, Caitlin Clark is not in the 2026 WNBA 3-point contest.
The Indiana Fever star was not among the participants the league announced Tuesday, July 21 for Friday's contest at All-Star weekend in Chicago. Clark declined her invitation, USA TODAY first reported. No reason was given.
Clark was not the only player to decline. Minnesota's Kayla McBride also turned down an invitation, according to ESPN.
Reigning champion Sabrina Ionescu is also not taking part, saying she was not invited. The New York Liberty star's 37-point round remains the highest score in the event's history, including the NBA version.
Clark will still be in the main event on Saturday, July 25. She drew 1,023,321 fan votes, second-most in the league, and will captain Team Spoon, named after Hall of Famer Teresa Weatherspoon, in the All-Star Game at 8:30 p.m. ET at the United Center.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took their two children, Archie and Lilibet, to visit the childhood home of the Duke of Sussex's late mother, Princess Diana, during their recent European vacation, it has been revealed.
Meghan, 44, shared several photos from the family's recent trip overseas on her Instagram account, including one image that show her daughter, Lilibet, 5, walking through the grounds of Princess Diana's family estate, Althorp, holding what appears to be a tiny handbag and a blanket.
Harry, 41, and Archie, 7, are pictured strolling just a head of her, both carrying what seem to be bouquets of flowers.
Another snap appears to show Meghan reclining on a sun lounger next to the pool at the estate, cuddling the family's Beagle, Mamma Mia, who is thought to have traveled to Europe with them. Spencer's new wife, Cat Jarman, is seen in the background, along with her husband.
It's understood that the family were invited to the property by Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, who still owns the estate and resides there with his new wife. According to People magazine, the Sussexes "may have visited Diana's burial site, which is located on an island in the middle of the estate's Oval Lake."

New York Liberty star guard Sabrina Ionescu clarified on July 22 that she never officially received an invitation to defend her ******* le in this year’s WNBA 3-point Contest and was surprised by reports that it was her choice not to participate.
In a press conference ahead of WNBA All-Star weekend, Ionescu said she was blindsided by media headlines suggesting she had declined an offer to participate. She emphasized her eagerness to compete whenever given the opportunity, but reiterated that she could not turn down an invitation she never received.
“I can’t decline an offer that I officially didn’t get invited to,” Ionescu said. “So I was pretty surprised to see that. Never got invited. Whether it's against Steph Curry or in the W, I always go out and try to beat my record every single time I step onto the court. I take pride in competing at the highest level, and I love representing the Liberty and the league in these contests. I just wanted to set the record straight – that rumor was simply false.”
Though she isn’t taking part in this year’s contest, Ionescu said she was excited to watch the event and to see who will become the new champion.
To Ionescu’s claim that she never received an invite, the WNBA responded with a statement saying, “Our general process is to reach out to agents to determine a player's interest, and some accept and some decline."

The Saudi Pro League (SPL) has confirmed the fixture schedule for the 2026-27 Roshn Saudi League season, with the campaign set to begin on August 13, 2026, and conclude on May 29, 2027.
The 34-round season will feature 306 matches, with the fixture list finalised on Friday following a workshop attended by all clubs. During the session, the SPL presented the scheduling methodology and the wider sporting calendar, while clubs were also invited to submit requests regarding match sequencing and scheduling before the fixtures were approved.
The 2026-27 calendar has been developed against the backdrop of an exceptionally demanding season, with eight RSL clubs competing across four international competitions, alongside FIFA international windows, Saudi Arabia national team commitments and the Kingdom's hosting of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.
As a result of these overlapping commitments, only 102 available matchdays were available to accommodate the league's 306 fixtures.
To ensure a balanced and competitive schedule, the fixture list was created using 10 key scheduling criteria. Among the most significant are that no club will play more than two consecutive home or away matches, while every club will play one home and one away fixture across the opening and closing two rounds of the 2026-27 campaign.

Fans are invited to sit across from Sewell and sample Hot Orange Chicken while challenging him with their own heated questions in a Q&A format three weeks before the Detroit Lions preseason play begins on Aug. 13, when the team plays the Bengals in Cincinnati.

“We thought this would be a fun way for the community to be involved, play around with, you know, Hot Orange Chicken so that fans can come and fire off their Hot Orange Chicken takes, if you will,” Panda Express spokesperson Guy Rudiger said.
Fans who participate in the challenge will receive a pre-signed autograph from Sewell.

"Wait, why weren't we invited? There are a thousand people there!" I asked my husband Garret, a well-known music producer in LA.
I scrolled on Instagram as we talked, watching the celebrities roll into Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding at Madison Square Garden.
"I got a text but I thought it was spam," he told me, sounding defensive.
"WHAT!?" I asked in total disbelief.
I could feel my heart pulsing in my fingertips as I continued to scroll through the barrage of wedding-related posts popping up online.

New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu will not be participating in the WNBA’s three-point contest as part of this weekend’s All-Star festivities — not by choice, she says.
Reports on Tuesday had swirled that Ionescu — who holds the all-time three-point contest record among either the WNBA or NBA — had been among the high-profile players to decline an invite to the competition. But ahead of the Liberty’s matchup against the Chicago Sky on Wednesday, Ionescu told reporters that she was never invited in the first place.
“I can't decline an offer I never got officially invited to. So was pretty surprised to see that. Never got invited,” Ionescu said, via multiple outlets. “Whether it's against Steph Curry or in the W, I always go out and try and beat my record, every single time I've gone out.
“I just kind of wanted to set the record straight. Like that was just false, but I'm really excited for the participants in it, and obviously there's going to be a new winner, so I'm excited to see who wins.”
When asked a follow-up question about the issue, Ionescu added a bit of shade: "Maybe I’ll do it with Steph again at NBA All-Star and get a really nice official invite,” she said, via the New York Post’s Madeline Kenney.

According to multiple reports, Aston Villa and Chelsea have agreed yet another deal today, this time for Blues disappointment Alejandro Garnacho. So as Morgan Rogers arrives from Villa, Garnacho heads the other way — technically not actually related, but you know…
The Garnacho deal is just a loan but with a conditional buy obligation, which is said to be "easy to reach, almost guaranteed", as per Fabrizio Romano. In fact, a four-year contract already awaits at the end of this one-year loan, so all signs point to this deal being, in effect, a transfer. (The Athletic report that the condition "a minimum number of appearances across the 2026-27 season", though they don't specify the actual number or whether it's all competitions or Premier League only.)
There's also no word on how much that obligation may be in terms of a transfer fee, but as of right now, this sounds like a decent bit of business for a player who has utterly disappointed since his arrival from Manchester United last summer and who wasn't even invited back to training camp under new manager Xabi Alonso.
I guess Villa are hoping that the 22-year-old can rediscover his earlier promise with this new opportunity. Their manager, Unai Emery is said to be a big fan. I guess we'll see.

A French professional model recruiter who for over a decade arranged for the late **** offender Jeffrey Epstein to meet multiple models, was found dead in his home near Paris on Monday.
Daniel Siad's body was found in his house in Colombes, a suburb of the French capital, Marie-Céline Lawrysz, deputy public prosecutor at the Nanterre Judicial Court, told CNN in a Wednesday statement.
An autopsy will be performed on the body to determine the cause of death.
CNN'S Katie Polglase recently interviewed Siad, who said he had no reason to believe two women he had recommended to Epstein – and who had told CNN that Epstein had abused them – had been harmed by him.
Even after Epstein's 2008 conviction on **** crimes, modeling-industry insiders like Siad continued seeking business ventures with him, invited him to fashion events, and allowed him to **** ociate with their companies.

Forget who actually attended Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding. The latest celebrity flex is revealing you could have been there.
Swift and Kelce pulled off what many dubbed America's royal wedding, tying the knot on July 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York City before a reported 1,000 guests. Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony, while a guest list that reportedly included Julia Roberts, Steven Spielberg, Jennifer Lopez, Tom Hanks, Reese Witherspoon, Karlie Kloss, Emma Stone and Brad Pitt only fueled fascination around who scored one of the year's most coveted invitations.
As Yahoo previously noted, the couple's strict no-phone, no-social-media policy created an unusual post-wedding phenomenon: celebrities having to wait until after the festivities to share photos and memories from the celebration, posting like mere mortals once the event had ended.
Now, another unexpected trend has emerged.
Instead of talking about what happened at the wedding, a growing (and still expanding) number of celebrities are talking about why they weren't there at all — while making sure everyone knows they were invited.

As Yahoo previously noted, the couple's strict no-phone, no-social-media policy created an unusual post-wedding phenomenon: celebrities having to wait until after the festivities to share photos and memories from the celebration, posting like mere mortals once the event had ended.
Now, another unexpected trend has emerged.
Instead of talking about what happened at the wedding, a growing (and still expanding) number of celebrities are talking about why they weren't there at all — while making sure everyone knows they were invited.

Just a few weeks ago, only a handful of members of the U.S. women's hockey team were expected to attend the ESPYs, the annual awards show honoring the year's biggest athletes, teams and moments in sports.
By Wednesday afternoon, many more of the reigning Olympic gold medalists were swapping jerseys for gowns inside a midtown Manhattan penthouse. Champagne was flowing. Hair and makeup artists buzzed around the room. Defenseman Mariah Keopple, who also works as a stylist, helped teammates put the finishing touches on their looks before they headed to the awards show, airing live Wednesday night from the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City.
It wasn't exactly the typical pregame routine for one of the world's best hockey teams. And none of it would have happened without an unlikely benefactor: Flavor Flav.
The Public Enemy legend learned last week from U.S. captain Hilary Knight that only a handful of players had been invited to the ESPYs, where Team USA is nominated for Best Team following its dramatic gold-medal victory at the 2026 Winter Olympics. For Flavor Flav, the solution was simple: "I got you."
That promise quickly snowballed.

New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu has dominated the WNBA 3-Point Contest for years, setting the all-time 3-point contest record in both the WNBA and NBA after scoring 37 of 40 points in 2023. But Ionescu won't be participating at this year's contest in Chicago, meaning bragging rights are up for grabs.
Ionescu, Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride were invited to participate in the 3-point contest, but declined, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports.
Toronto Tempo guard Marina Mabrey and Atlanta Dream forward Rhyne Howard headline the field of six WNBA stars set to participate in the 2026 WNBA 3-Point contest on Friday, July 24, which precedes the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game between Team Teresa Weatherspoon and Team Cynthia Cooper on Saturday.
The 2026 WNBA Shooting Stars contest is also taking place Friday at Wintrust Arena.
Mabrey and Howard rank first and second in the league, respectively, in 3-pointers made. Howard previously participated in the competition in 2022, while Mabrey competed in the 2024 event. Dallas Wings guard Azzi Fudd is the only rookie in the competition.

There is a difference between holding a manager to account and turning him into a punchbag. That line was crossed far too often in the final weeks of Arne Slot's reign at Liverpool, and it is hard to argue with Paul Ince when he described some of the treatment aimed at the Dutchman as "bang out of order".
Speaking to Empire of the Kop, Ince's defence of Slot cuts through a lot of the noise that built around Anfield before the axe finally fell at the end of May. The facts of the season were ugly enough without the need for the sniping, the ridicule and the online bile. Liverpool had gone from Premier League winners to a side limping over the line in fifth. That collapse invited scrutiny. It did not justify the nastier edge that followed.
Slot's second season unravelled in grim fashion. Results dried up, performances became laboured, and the football often felt like a chore to sit through. Liverpool looked blunt, passive and oddly joyless. The possession-heavy approach rarely carried any real threat, and there were too many afternoons when Anfield's frustration was plain to hear.
That frustration was understandable. Liverpool supporters are not fools, and they know when a team is drifting. A **** le-winning glow can fade quickly when standards crash. Yet it is still worth remembering what Slot walked into. Replacing a transformative figure was always going to be a brutal task, and winning the Premier League in his first campaign bought him a place in club history that should not be brushed aside because the next year went sour.
Ince made that point clearly when he said: "I actually felt for Slot. I really, really did. You know, I thought the way he was treated was bang out of order." It is a fair observation. Criticism of his tactics, team selection and game management was part of the job. Personal abuse was not.

SEC media days are usually for head coaches, quarterbacks and star players to have the floor to discuss a wide variety of topics. It's not often that a kicker is invited to the proceedings, but Auburn's Alex McPherson was present for the July 21 edition of SEC media day.
McPherson had some interesting questions and answers during his session, including a query about his favorite kick to date for the Tigers.
"I would say my favorite, I think the best kick I've had in my career was the 53-yarder against A&M in 2023. It was into the wind, which not a lot of people know, but that wind was howling. They called a timeout," McPherson said. "It was still blowing into my face but not as much, and I hit it really well. And to hit a 53 into the wind, that was pretty exciting for me just to give the team a little momentum going into halftime."
McPherson's brother is Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson, who kicked for Florida during his collegiate career. The younger kicker was asked about Auburn's game against Florida this season, and who his brother might support.
"I think it's going to be fun. I think — I mean, I don't know who my brother's going to cheer for, but I would say he's going to be cheering for Auburn. I would hope so," Alex McPherson said.

More than half a century has elapsed since the last big exhibition of work by Richard Dadd, the Victorian one-off who murdered his father while in his 20s and spent the rest of his life painting in psychiatric institutions. The most famous of his seemingly psychedelic compositions is The Fairy-Feller's Master-Stroke (1855-64), an airless, intricate and profoundly eccentric picture swarming with supernatural creatures, each apparently no bigger than a blade of grass. Surely it's the product of a fevered brain?
Richard Dadd: Beyond Bedlam, at the Royal Academy of Arts, invites us to consider its subject afresh, not as a lunatic who happened to paint but as a first-rate artist who lived with mental illness (probably schizophrenia), a little like Vincent van Gogh. Although, on this evidence, his folkloric paintings can appear obscure, as well as multitudinous and hallucinatory, the originality of his vision reinforces the show's premise. This exhibition may be weird, but it's certainly compelling.
Despite Dadd's medical history, it would be wrong to categorise him as an "outsider" artist. He was born in Kent in 1817, his mother died when he was a child, then, at the age of 19, he entered the Royal Academy Schools, a move emphasised (unsurprisingly, given its setting) by this exhibition's dull opening room. If Dadd's mature art appears technically accomplished and steeped in art history – I have a hunch that an odd watercolour of 1852 depicting Robin Hood craftily alludes to The Archers (1769-70) by Sir Joshua Reynolds now in Tate Britain – that's because he was trained, as well as talented.
After winning acclaim for some early Shakespearean fairy pictures, including one of a corpulent, malevolent-looking Puck sitting cross-legged on a fungus beneath a foxglove like a dripping shower head, Dadd was invited, in 1842, to accompany Thomas Phillips, a Welsh lawyer and politician, on a trip around the eastern Mediterranean. Over-stimulated by this grand tour, Dadd began suffering delusions. On his return to London, he became convinced that his father was a devil and killed him with a knife. A year later, he was admitted to Bethlem and remained there for two decades before being transferred to Broadmoor Hospital, where he would eventually die from tuberculosis, in 1886.
During his time as a patient, medical attitudes to mental illness started to shift. In 1854, Dadd produced Agony – Raving Madness, a watercolour of a manacled, half-naked, evidently tormented patient clutching at his head. Yet, Dadd's doctors wanted physical coercion to become a thing of the past. They allowed him to draw and paint as he wished, and even commissioned him to do so; exceptionally, at Broadmoor, they also provided him with carpentry tools, so that he could build his own idiosyncratic wooden picture frames (two of which appear at the Royal Academy).

Brad Paisley is sharing his amusement at the mystery surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's tightly guarded wedding plans.
"I took this personally when I got the invite, because in the invite, it said, 'If you're getting this, you mean a lot to us,'" the country singer told the ***** ociated Press in an interview released July 17. He attended the July 3 wedding at New York City's Madison Square Garden with his wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley – alongside hundreds of high-profile guests.
The elaborate security and logistics behind the celebration left invited guests guessing.
"And it was really fun to watch the cat-and-mouse game of like, 'We can tell you roughly where it's gonna be. We're not gonna say what building. … And here's the date, and if you're in, we'll tell you more,'" Paisley explained. "I went to my wife, I said, 'Want to go?' She's like, 'Absolutely. We've gotta be there.' So we did it. It was RSVP yes."
Swift's strategy appears to have worked. More than two weeks later, there have been no photo leaks, and most guests have remained tight-lipped after signing non-disclosure agreements. American Century Investments CEO Jonathan Thomas said on the July 17 episode of "The Compound and Friends" podcast that he "won't get into the details of the NDA, but it had teeth."

Brad Paisley has described Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's nuptials as "one of the least pretentious weddings he's ever seen".
The country music singer and his actress wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, were among the 1,000 guests who witnessed the pop superstar exchange vows with the American football player in New York City's Madison Square Garden earlier this month.
Despite the fanfare surrounding the event, plus the heightened security measures and spectacular transformation of the sports venue, Paisley insisted the ceremony didn't feel over-the-top.
"Ironically, (it) was one of the least pretentious weddings that I've ever seen or ever will see," Paisley told The **** ociated Press in an interview. "It meant a lot to be (invited). It was, kind of, a big thank you from her to invite us."
Paisley, who enlisted Swift to be the opening act on his tour when she was still a teenager in 2007, noted that he was thrilled to receive an invite to the celebrity wedding of the year.
"They were very clear with the invite, and I took this personally when I got the invite, because in the invite, it said, 'If you're getting this, you mean a lot to us,'" he shared.

Shaquille O'Neal offered Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce a sarcastic thank-you after discovering that Charles Barkley received an invitation to their wedding while he did not.
The NBA legend was speaking with People at Fanatics Fest in New York City on July 17 when he was asked whether he had been invited to the couple's July 3 ceremony.
"No. Thanks, Taylor. Thanks, Travis," O'Neal replied, maintaining a deadpan expression as he looked toward the camera.
O'Neal delivered the comment at the Javits Center during the three-day sports and entertainment convention. He and Barkley have been friends and on-air rivals for years, so it was pretty funny when Barkley confirmed that he was actually on the guest list. Still, when asked what message he wanted to send the couple, he answered, "May it last forever."
Swift and Kelce, both 36, married at Madison Square Garden before approximately 1,000 guests. Swift's representative confirmed the July 3 ceremony to People. The couple wore custom Christian Dior Haute Couture looks designed by Jonathan Anderson. Swift's brother Austin served as her man of honor, Jason Kelce was his brother's best man and Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony.

Why Taylor Swift's Name Choice Matters
"They are typically very good at blocking out the noise, but to have all these nasty stories coming out about his teammates being jealous and trash-talking them is pretty disheartening," the inside source said to the outlet. "He's got to go back to that locker room any day now and that's bound to be uncomfortable because clearly there's a lot of jealousy towards him."

Tom Brady and Logan Paul are no strangers to taking shots at one another. Their latest exchange saw the seven-time Super Bowl champion slap the WWE star at a recent event, but some are wondering whether it was a publicity stunt to draw attention to Brady's possible introduction to WWE. The strike came a day after the former football star expressed his desire to be invited into the wrestling ring.
On Friday, July 17, Tom Brady and Logan Paul shared the stage for a panel at Fanatics Fest in New York. Afterward, the two reportedly got into a heated discussion that ended with Brady slapping Paul across the face.
A video of the exchange made rounds on social media, with the two men standing close to each other, talking seriously. At one point, Brady removes his hand from his pocket and slaps Paul. NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns stepped between them to prevent the incident from escalating further, and Brady and Paul went their separate ways.
As of writing, the video has been viewed 9 million times, and many users aren't convinced the beef between them is real. "This is the worst scripted scenario I've ever seen and I watched Jersey Shore," one person commented.
Later, both Paul and Brady posted the video on their respective social media accounts. The influencer-turned-wrestler claimed he was slapped because he was "roasting" him over beating him at a flag football match. "Horrible example for the kids," he wrote.

The Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) have set out proposals for a dedicated captive insurance regulatory regime in the UK.
It is part of a wider push to strengthen the country's "competitiveness" in financial services.
The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and the FCA have opened a consultation on the framework, with responses invited until 14 October 2026.
Captive insurers are entities set up by companies or public bodies to underwrite their own risks, rather than buying cover from the open market.
The regulators indicated that the initiative could support an insurance market worth billions of pounds.
