Whatever could go wrong, did go wrong for the Packers late in Sunday's collapse against the Minnesota Vikings, as defensive coordinator Brian Flores exploited every possible weakness in Green Bay's offensive line in a fourth quarter barrage of pressure.
While it was Flores' cacophony of exotic blitz concepts executed by Vikings edge rushers that flew to the football, and Packers quarterback Jordan Love that torpedoed Matt LaFleur's squad, Green Bay can take some solace to build on from a dismal 39-22 loss.

The Packers entered this season banking on Christian Watson and Matthew Golden each making substantial leaps at the top of the depth chart at wide reciever, and the duo did exactly that on Sunday in Minneapolis.
Watson led the charge for the Packers' offense, catching six passes for 147 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while Golden pulled down six of his 12 targets for 95 yards.

Wow. It took an extra inning for it to be decided but the A's came out on top thanks to some late-game heroics from an unexpected hero. The Athletics took the first game of the series against the Mariners, walking them off en route to a 6-5 victory. Seattle's playoff hopes are on life support.
Springs solid again
The A's had veteran southpaw Jeffrey Springs on the ***** p tonight. It's no secret he's in the final month donning the Green & Gold but there's no reason his tenure has to end on a low note.
Springs had literally just seen these guys, pitching against them within the past week. That start was in Seattle though and he's been much better on the road. How would he do against them in the hitters ballpark that is the Athletics' current home?
Seattle struck first tonight, going small-ball to bring in a run in the first against Springs to give the M's a quick lead. They'd go small-ball again in the second for their second run, pushing across that baserunner off a groundout. That was all the damage Seattle could muster tonight against the lefty though as he would toss three more innings without allowing another run.

#athletics #small #ball

A fresh start, perhaps?
Lineups:
Kirby takes the mound tonight, hoping to be steadier than the uneven Jeffrey Springs. JP is back to leading off, and Birthday Boy Weston Wilson hits ninth. Taylor Ward is the DH tonight against the lefty Springs, and not to complain, but Arroyo would have been more fun.

Following Wachowski accusing Rowling of "funding trans genocide" and lumping her in with ****** s, her agent, Neil Blair, issued a response to the filmmaker via Entertainment Weekly. Blair began, "Freedom of speech is a principle we should all cherish."
The statement continued, "What matters is that J.K. Rowling's views, as with anyone else's, are represented accurately, fairly and respectfully and that individual opinion does not detract from those views."
In addressing the "Matrix" director directly, the agent noted, "To correct Lilly Wachowski, through The J.K. Rowling Women's Fund, J.K Rowling supports women taking legal action in the UK to preserve their existing rights under the Equality Act 2010, which are often overlooked or threatened."

Ex-Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor once faced unexpected resistance from a royal family aide. Despite losing his prince **** le and royal honors, the palace staffer's actions reportedly left the disgraced royal shocked. King Charles later revoked Prince Andrew's royal status as the monarchy faced continued backlash over his ties to convicted **** offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Former Buckingham Palace press secretary **** ie Arbiter has recalled a never-before-heard clash with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
During his appearance on the Daily Expresso podcast, Arbiter revealed that he rejected one of Andrew's demands during a royal garden party. He later hung up on the ex-prince after the ousted royal slammed the phone down on him.
The episode unfolded at Buckingham Palace during the Lambeth Conference, the decennial summit of Anglican bishops. Around 100 clergy in crimson robes were in attendance when Andrew rang Arbiter with an idea for a picture.
The former palace official shared, "He phoned me up one day during a garden party at Buckingham Palace and said, 'Get some chairs out because I've got a good idea for a photograph.' There were about 100 priests in their crimson frocks at the garden party, and he thought it would make a good picture of the Queen with all the clergy around her. I just said, 'No, it's not your garden party.'"

Henry Winkler is opening up about his decades-long feud with Tom Hanks, admitting he is still processing what went wrong while leaving the door open for a potential reconciliation.
Speaking on "In Depth With Graham Bensinger," the Emmy-winning actor revisited the turning point in their relationship: his high-profile firing as director of the 1989 comedy "Turner & Hooch," which starred Hanks, now 70.
Winkler recalled that he felt unsuited to direct the movie from the start but accepted the job after a Paramount executive handpicked him. His overzealousness and early insecurity quickly backfired once he got on set.
"I went completely against my tummy, and it hit me in the face with a 2-by-4," Winkler said. "I now meet the puppies, and I meet with Tom [Hanks] ... and I, at that time being insecure, I talked too much and I gave them direction. I [did] what I thought was my job, and I wanted to do it over again and apparently that p**ed them off."
The job lasted less than two weeks. Studio executive Jeffrey Katzenberg called Winkler into his office to tell him his work was not showing up in the daily footage.

SpaceX must pull off rocket reusability if the company is to reach a stratospheric market valuation in the not-too-distant future.
"A successful investment case in ****** eX at the current $2 trillion enterprise value rests almost entirely on a single admittedly massive engineering bottleneck: Starship reusability (i.e. 20-50 flights per Starship with relatively inexpensive and quick refurbishment/redeployment)," Pivotal Research Group ****** yst Jeffrey Wlodarczak wrote in a note on Tuesday. "If Elon Musk can solve for this fundamental issue it potentially drives down the cost of launches to ****** e to the equivalent of terrestrial freight opening up an unarguably massive opportunity."
Wlodarczak initiated coverage of ****** eX with a Buy rating and $220 price target.
That massive opportunity, Wlodarczak said, includes Starlink taking a material share of the wireless industry and serving as a ****** e monopoly, with others having to pay ****** eX for entry.
"In the end, investors are debating xAI, Colossus, and Starlink take-rates," Wlodarczak added. "Those matter only after Starship works. Our $220 target is a call on reuse 20–50 flights per vehicle, cheap refurb, fast turnaround. If that is solved, the rest of the model can happen. If it is not, SPCX is a different and much smaller company."

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — The University of Southern Indiana women's volleyball managed to steal one set away in their 3-1 loss against the 21st ranked Indiana Hoosiers Monday afternoon.
Screaming Eagles head coach Jeffrey Aucoin said he hopes his team can build upon the winning set and take it with them through the rest of the season.
"We were a little bit more aggressive," he said. "You know we were just missing in the first set I think set two things started to go our way. We're we're getting back into our rhythm and we're just trying to build momentum. It's easy in these types of matches to put pressure on being perfect and dominating and want to prove everybody something, but, it's really important that you just put pressure on creating opportunities. And I think that's what we did in that second set and we took advantage of those opportunities to finish out the set."
Next, Southern Indiana will head to Columbus, Ohio to compete in the Sports Import Classic starting with Youngstown State on Friday, September 11th.

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Marcellous Hawkins Jr. rushed for three touchdowns, and Jeffrey Overton Jr. rushed for 108 yards and two scores to lead Virginia Tech to a 73-3 victory over VMI on Saturday in the debut of Hokies' head coach James Franklin.
Franklin, who was fired last October by Penn State after 12 seasons and hired by Virginia Tech 36 days later, witnessed a dominating performance by the Hokies (1-0) in their opener. Virginia Tech's offense scored on its first six possessions and punted just once during the game. The Hokies' defense held VMI (0-2) to just 83 yards, and the special teams blocked two punts, recovering one for a touchdown.
Hired to rebuild a once-proud Virginia Tech program that has suffered losing seasons in five of the past six years, Franklin brought in 27 transfers, including 12 who followed him from his previous stop. Arguably the most important of those, quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer, enjoyed a great Virginia Tech debut.
Grunkemeyer, who started the final seven games for Penn State last season, completed 10 of his first 11 passes. He finished 17 of 20 for 224 yards and two touchdowns.
Led by Overton, who scored on runs of 50 and 23 yards, and Grunkemeyer, the Hokies finished with 619 total yards.

Two teams who entered the 2026-27 season with lots of excitement, optimism and plenty to prove still await their first points of the season.
For Portadown, the arrival of David Jeffrey was supposed to signal the start of a new era, with the Irish League veteran making plenty of changes in the off season.
As for newly promoted Limavady United, the return to the top flight ended an 18-year wait for Premiership action.
The Roesiders have scored just once, while the Ports have struggled to find consistency at both ends and have conceded the second highest number of goals.
But what has gone wrong so far? BBC Sport NI explores some of the early warning signs within both clubs.

In Roads to Retirement: Act I – The Journey Begins, Jeff Snyder sets the stage for a thoughtful exploration of what retirement really means by introducing two people whose lives could not look more different. One is an artist in Marin who has chosen a simple, creative life living on a sailboat and staying grounded in what matters most. The other is a Northern California firefighter working hard to build stability and opportunity for his growing family.
Jeffrey Snyder, Broadcast Retirement Network
Hello everyone, I'm Jeff Snyder. I've devoted over two decades of my life helping Americans across this country save and plan for their financial future. I'm starting out on a journey to educate Americans and help get people in this country saving.
Join me as we go on the roads to retirement. Marin County is one of the top five richest counties in the United States, but it's also home to artists, shipbuilders, and tax-free, anchor-out citizens who avoid rent by settling in the open waters of Richardson Bay. Sean here pays his rent and makes a decent home of his 25-foot shoreliner with his loyal first mate and unassuming guard dog, Oscar.
It's really a beautiful location you live at. This marina is wonderful, real serene, quiet.

With a quarterback many view as one of the best in the NFL entering the 2026 season, the Green Bay Packers are getting some extra attention on their wide receiver room. Jordan Love's group of weapons downfield will clearly be integral to the team's success, and that also highlights the importance of chemistry within the unit.
Green Bay has kept six wide receivers after the final roster cuts last Sunday: Christian Watson, Jaylen Reed, Matthew Golden, Skyy Moore, Bo Melton, and rookie J. Michael Sturdivant.
Reed recently opened up about the wide receiver room situation, noting that the group has gotten tighter in the offseason.

Carole Radziwill isn't shying away from questions about her connection to the Jeffrey Epstein files as she prepares for her Real Housewives comeback.
According to a People report published Wednesday, September 2, host Andy Cohen brought up 63-year-old Radziwill's ties to the Epstein files during a season 16 cast panel for The Real Housewives of New York City in Sagaponack, New York, the previous day.
"I felt like this isn't something that I shy away from," Radziwill told Cohen, 58, per the report. "Me and many, many, many more people found their names in these files. It's not something I shy away from because I think, really, it's important to talk about it. It's important to be transparent. Obviously, I didn't know anything, as no one 20 years ago would have known anything, but it's hard also."
Radziwill's Epstein ties trace back to a past friendship with Ghislaine Maxwell. She told The New York Times earlier this year that she knew Maxwell, 64, "for five or six years" in the early 2000s but "never knew" Epstein himself, adding, "Imagine knowing someone and even being friendly with them and then they turn out to be, like, a monster."

At least one Callaway executive and multiple Good Good Golf employees are being ousted in the aftermath of their controversial co-branded driver ad.
Last week, the golf equipment manufacturer ended its partnership with the YouTube group, and Good Good walked away from its ***** le sponsorship of a PGA Tour event.
Good Good VP of brand and marketing Jeffrey Lefkovits has been fired and Callaway director of content and production Alex Upegui is departing the company, sources with knowledge of the moves told Front Office Sports. At least one other Good Good employee whose identity is not yet known is also being let go.
Upegui, who had been in his position since 2023, is believed to be the highest-ranking employee at Callaway to approve the ad in which Good Good cofounder Garrett Clark was depicted shoving fellow Good Good member Alexis Miestowski to the ground.
Callaway CEO Chip Brewer said in a statement on Aug. 25 that the company was "conducting both internal and external investigations and have already made changes to our approval process aimed at ensuring this will never happen again."

Ina Garten has never looked back at the life she and Jeffrey Garten built together and wished they had made a different decision about children.
At 78, the Barefoot Contessa star told The New York Times that becoming parents would have changed both her career and her marriage. "I think it would have been difficult, and I think Jeffrey and I would have had a different life together," she said.
Jeffrey once moved to **** an to start a business while Garten stayed in East Hampton, and the two traveled back and forth. At the same time, she was putting long hours into the Barefoot Contessa specialty-food store and its catering operation.
She said she understands why friends love raising families, but motherhood was never something she wanted for herself. "I've never looked back on the decision and thought, I should have done it differently," she said. "I'm really happy that I didn't."
Garten's answer centered less on what she believes she gave up and more on what the couple was able to do because their lives remained flexible. Jeffrey could pursue the opportunity in **** an while she continued running her business in the Hamptons, even though that meant living apart and traveling to see each other.

King Charles III's former sister-in-law is renting a six-bedroom gated property in the Home Counties, according to The Sun newspaper.
The former ***** ss of York, 66, lost her ***** le in October alongside Andrew after revelations over their links to the late financier.
Sarah used to live with Andrew at his former home Royal Lodge, but he was forced to vacate the premises and move to Marsh Farm on the king's Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
She could "imminently" move into a new home, which has three bathrooms and a "granny annexe," according to the newspaper.

NEW YORK, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Former JPMorgan Chase executive Jes Staley told U.S. lawmakers he repeatedly shared confidential and market-sensitive bank information with Jeffrey Epstein and was at one point ‌named as a trustee of his estate, according to a transcript released by the U.S. Congress House ‌Oversight Committee.
These admissions come as lawmakers probe the late convicted **** offender's ties with political and business elites. Staley appeared before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in July as part of its investigation into Epstein and his **** ociate Ghislaine Maxwell. Transcripts from the meeting were released on Wednesday.
In the closed-door, voluntary interview conducted on July 24, Staley said he divulged to Epstein the bank's communications with the Federal Reserve during the 2008 financial crisis, a figure of $44 billion in private ‌bank inflows over two weeks, his own ⁠compensation, and details of pending deals.
Staley also admitted to sharing other confidential information about JPMorgan with Epstein, according to the transcript.

The Wall Street Journal reported on August 14, 2026, that PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) is in talks to sell itself to a group including Stripe and private equity firm Advent International after Stripe and Advent's initial July offer of $60.50 a share was rejected as too low, with the two sides now negotiating a higher price.
PayPal's market value has collapsed from a 2021 peak of about $360 billion to as low as roughly $36 billion this year. Now the company built by early digital-payments pioneers is negotiating its own sale.
That raises the real question: does a Stripe-Advent deal rescue PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL)'s business at a fair price, or does it confirm the company simply couldn't turn around its slowing growth alone?
The initial $60.50-per-share offer represented roughly a 28% premium to PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL)'s prior closing price and was backed by about $50 billion in committed bank financing. William Blair ****** yst Andrew Jeffrey said PayPal's new CEO likely would not accept a "low-ball offer." Blair predicated Stripe and Advent could go as high as $70 a share. Combining Stripe's merchant-focused business with PayPal's more than 430 million consumer accounts would create a combined payments giant processing about $3.7 trillion in annual volume. PayPal CEO Enrique Lores has already split the company into three units, checkout, Venmo, and payments and crypto, since taking over in March as part of a big recovery effort.
PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL)'s own struggles are exactly why a sale is on the table. Rivals like Apple Pay and Google Pay have taken. As of July, PayPal has lost more than 40% of its market value over just the past 12 months, and its market cap is still roughly one-tenth of its 2021 peak. There's no guarantee talks result in a deal at all, since PayPal already rejected the first offer as insufficient.

Aug 27 (Reuters) - Two Federal Reserve officials on Thursday shared their ongoing concerns about the U.S. inflation outlook, as central bankers gathered in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for the Kansas City Fed's closely watched annual economic symposium.
Inflation is "still stubborn and it's still sticky and we've ‌got to continue to find ways to break through" and get it back to 2%, Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid said on CNBC ‌on the sidelines of the conference.
He noted that the U.S. central bank's current 3.50%-3.75% policy rate did not appear to be restrictive.
"I don't know what we're restricting currently with the rate policy that we're at today," Schmid said.

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."
