WASHINGTON, Sept 16 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate Commerce Committee approved legislation on Wednesday to bar government officials from pressuring private companies to censor speech, citing threats from the Trump administration ‌against late-night talk shows as evidence of efforts to stifle free expression.
The measure would allow citizens to ‌sue federal employees who pressure private companies into suppressing speech protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees free expression. Both Republicans and Democrats on the committee said the bill was needed to curb government overreach.
The committee approved the bill 18-10. It must still pass the full Senate, where it is unclear when it may be taken up, and the U.S. House of Representatives to become law.
Senator Maria Cantwell, the top Democrat on the panel, said the bill, if it had ‌been in effect, would have allowed Disney-owned ⁠ABC's late-night show host Jimmy Kimmel to file suit after Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr last year pressured station owners to stop airing Kimmel's show following remarks about ⁠the ****** assination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The 20th-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes roll into Week 3 after claiming the Cy-Hawk Trophy with a 16-13 win over Iowa State from Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City.
After falling behind 10-0 early, Iowa knotted the game back up by halftime thanks to a 1-yard Hank Brown touchdown run and a Caden Buhr field goal. Buhr would add two more field goal makes in the second half, including his game-winning, 42-yarder with just 15 seconds remaining.
As Iowa turns its attention to its final nonconference date, the Hawkeyes released their Week 3 depth chart vs. UNI:
No. 1: Hank Brown OR Jeremy Hecklinski
No. 3: Jimmy Sullivan

Walmart (WMT) recently took another step into restaurant delivery, announcing a national partnership with Inspire Brands that puts it more directly in competition with DoorDash (DASH) and Uber Technologies' (UBER) Uber Eats. But the expansion announced recently is still largely limited to restaurants operating as tenants inside Walmart stores, where the logistics are considerably easier to manage. The bigger question is what happens when the company moves beyond these in-store tenants and takes on the more difficult parts of the restaurant delivery market. Until then, the current expansion says more about Walmart's ambition than its ability to become a structural competitor to the established players.
Walmart is expanding its restaurant delivery strategy through a new collaboration with Inspire Brands, whose portfolio includes Arby's, Jimmy John's, Dunkin, Baskin-Robbins, and Sonic. The partnership will bring restaurant delivery into Walmart's app. Dunkin' will be the first brand to launch, starting with 150 in-store tenant locations. Walmart and Dunkin' then plan to expand the offering to most of Dunkin's roughly 10,000 U.S. restaurants, including locations outside Walmart's stores. The broader opportunity is built around Walmart's existing physical footprint. A customer could place a restaurant order alongside a Walmart purchase and receive both through the same delivery. The retail giant says its footprint is located within 10 miles of about 90% of the U.S. population.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr accused Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico of banking on public confusion over the equal time statute to drive clicks and donations.
Last week, Talarico appeared on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," but the liberal late-night host insisted the interview had to air on YouTube, instead of broadcast television, because the FCC has "threatened" the network.
The White House previously said Kimmel was "play-acting," because the FCC did not threaten him regarding interviewing Talarico, or any other candidate.
Carr responded on Saturday to an account on X that complained Talarico was relegated to YouTube, but Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was allowed to appear on ESPN's "College Gameday." The chairman blasted Talarico, noting that the equal time statute doesn't apply to ESPN and does not prohibit anyone from interviewing anyone on broadcast TV.

It's game time, baby!
The Hawkeyes are back in action and for the second week in a row, Iowa will play host to a first year coach as the Iowa State Cyclones come to town with new head coach Jimmy Rogers. While Rogers was at South Dakota State before his one year stint at Washington State, he was not leading the Jackrabbits for the 7-3 game back in 2022.
In a role reversal from the last couple years under former head coach Matt Campbell, the Cyclones will come to Iowa City looking drag Iowa down into the mud for a rock fight. ISU boasts a talented defense, particularly up front, but had their fair share of struggles on the offensive side of the ball in week one against SEMO.
They'll rely on shortening the game, limiting possessions and bank on quarterback Jaylen Raynor hitting on a shot play or two.
Can the Hawkeyes avoid giving up a big play after the Cyclones tallied five of them in week one? Can they flip the script and turn those shot plays into turnovers after Raynor avoided interceptions in the opener? And what about the other side of the ball? Will Iowa still be able to find success running the ball against what is framed as a stout defensive front for Iowa State? And if not, can the combination of Hank Brown and Jeremy Hecklinski win this game through the air?

The White Sox beat the Cleveland Blues, 12-4, in Chicago to clinch the franchise's first pennant. (The American League would not be recognized as an official major league until 1901, however.) Roy Patterson got the win in the game.
The season seemed to set the tone for the franchise, with exceptional pitching and defense — and just enough hitting to win games. Cleveland manager Jimmy McAleer said as much after the Sox clinched against his club: "It's the strangest thing that ever happened. A club with no good batsman to win a flag! Why, such a thing was never heard of before. [Dick] Padden has done most of it. He has been the whole works, and has shown himself a born general. The pitchers did the rest, with special credit to that lad Patterson."
Brett Ballantini devoted an episode of South Side Sox's Flashback to this win, back in 2019.
1908
Ultimately, the White Sox did not prevail for the pennant, but don't say they didn't put up a fight. Arriving at Detroit's Bennett Park for a five-game set against the first-place Tigers and behind by three games, the White Sox won the opener, then played four consecutive extra-inning games to finish out the series, splitting them. On this day, the White Sox got back to just two games out with a 2-1 victory in 10 innings. Frank Smith not only went the distance for his 12th win on the season, he singled in the game-winner in the top of the 10th.
The White Sox continued a three-way fight for the pennant (with Cleveland as well), and the season came down to the last day, hosting Detroit. Had the White Sox not been blown out in the finale, they would have finished tied with (but percentage points ahead of) Cleveland and a half-game in front of the Tigers for the pennant.

College football, in its purest form, is a remarkable game full of tradition, pageantry and so much fun. At the apex of that purity sits rivalry games. Texas-Oklahoma. Ohio State-Michigan. Iowa-Iowa State. There are generations of tradition and hatred built up among the fanbases and the games just bring more juice.
Tonight marks the 73rd meeting of the Cy-Hawk series, which dates back to 1894. The Hawkeyes lead the all-time series 46-25, officially.
But things have been tight recently. Iowa hasn't officially won this game since 2021 (the 2023 win was vacated) and they haven't won it at home since 2018.
Dating back to 2017, every game in this series has been decided by 10 or fewer points. The Cyclones haven't won this matchup by more than 3 since 2005. The last time either team won by more than 10 in this series was in 2016, when the Hawkeyes emerged victorious 42-3.
This week, we've been exploring the parallels to that 2016 season for this series and there certainly are a few. For starters, that 2016 season marked year one of the Matt Campbell era. Now, 2026 marks year one of the Jimmy Rogers era after Campbell departed for Penn State.

For the 73rd time, Iowa and Iowa State will meet on the gridiron on Saturday. Iowa owns a 46-25 advantage in the all-time series, but the Hawkeyes are looking to put a stop to a two-game Iowa State winning streak in the rivalry.
The 21st-ranked Hawkeyes opened their 2026 season with a 40-0 shutout victory over Northern Illinois. It was the 10th shutout victory Iowa has recorded since 2018, matching Penn State for the most in all of the Football Bowl Subdivision during that timeframe.
Meanwhile, Iowa State began the Jimmy Rogers era with a 38-10 win over Southeast Missouri State.

Marcus Thompson: I feel like they include him in the process. He's aware of what's going on. His voice matters, and as long as that's the case, Steph is fine. He's going to hold their feet to the fire; he's going to make sure they're sticking to it. The Warriors want to win. They are thirsty to win. So their match made heaven that way. As you can see, they tried to get every star out there. They failed, but... I mean, that's what it is at the end of a run, right? It's not going to be pretty. This was probably as best as you can hope for. Hopefully Jimmy Butler comes back for them, and they can make another run, and maybe upset somebody, maybe give it one last valiant effort. What more can you ask for? They want four championships. I think Steph is good enough to stay in the game to where it's like, okay, if you get him the right pieces and get him in a matchup, he'll scare somebody. Now, ideally, they can get somebody good enough to make him like the No. 2. So, he's not carrying everything. That's just hard to do when the two oldest people on the team are making, you know, $120 million. It's tough to not go and get another player who's better than both of them.

Saturday night is the battle for the Cy-Hawk Trophy! Iowa (1-0) hosts Iowa State (1-0) in Kinnick Stadium for their annual rivalry game. For the first time in over a decade, there is a double digit spread in this matchup and it favors the seasoned Hawkeyes.
Iowa State rolls into this season in his first year under Jimmy Rogers. The Cyclones brought in over 80 newcomers, so this team is very new to the physicality and hatred in this rivalry. Iowa State beat Southeast Missouri State 38-10 in the season opener, outgaining the Redhawks 303-209 and forced three turnovers. Josh Raynor made his first start as Iowa State's quarterback and he went 8-of-16 for 184 passing yards and two touchdowns, plus 42 rushing yards on seven carries and two more scores.
Iowa played three different quarterbacks in their dominant 40-0 win over Northern Illinois. The Hawkeyes combined for 218 passing yards, two touchdowns, and one interceptions on 21-of-40 (52.5%). Kamari Moulton ran for a game-high 183 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries. Iowa outgained Northern Illinois 507-120 and held the Huskies to seven rushing yards on 31 carries.
Let's dive into the schools on both sides of the ball, look at a few key players, and see where the numbers take us.

Emmy-winning US actress Mariska Hargitay and one of Taylor Swift's longtime friends recently revealed how Swift made her change her ways while the duo cheered for the New York Knicks during the 2026 NBA Finals.
The Knicks gave New York fans a reason to keep cheering when they won this year's NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs to lift the third NBA ****** le in franchise history. It was the Knicks' first ****** le since 1973, as Jalen Brunson led the way for the team to secure a 4-1 win over the Spurs.
Among the many Knicks fans in attendance were Swift and Hargitay, who were spotted cheering and dancing during Game 4 of the Finals. Months after the game, Hargitay revealed how she made her way to Madison Square Garden that night and what Swift did to turn her into a proper Knicks fan.

Sandra Bullock is opening up about one of her biggest roles yet: parenting teenagers. As she promotes Practical Magic 2, the actress has offered a refreshingly honest look at protecting family time, ignoring one-size-fits-all parenting advice and even finding a way to include her children in her latest movie.
Bullock, 62, is mom to teenagers Louis, 16, and Laila, 13, and says their schedules now play a major role in the projects she accepts. Rather than expecting her children to fit around Hollywood, she chooses work that allows her to be available when they need her.
The actress has previously been clear about where her priorities lie. "I'm not going to sacrifice my time with my kids," Bullock said while discussing why Practical Magic 2 was able to happen. That approach can become increasingly important as children get older. Teenagers may want more independence, but they still need parents who are present and available when life gets complicated.
Bullock also isn't pretending she has all the answers when it comes to raising teenagers. In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she joked about how difficult it is to offer universal parenting advice when every child is different.
When asked what advice she would give other parents, Bullock's response was simply, "I'm sorry," before explaining that her children are both completely unique.

One of Taylor Swift's longtime friends, who was also an attendee at her high-profile yet intimate wedding to Travis Kelce, revealed what she found to be the best part of them coming together for life.
Swift and Kelce, who became one of the hottest couples in the last three years, began dating in 2023 and made several notable outings together, be it Swift appearing at Chiefs games and the Super Bowl or Kelce joining Taylor onstage at Wembley Stadium in London during the European leg of the Eras Tour, among many others.
Their relationship grew from strength to strength before the couple got engaged in August 2025 and finally took their vows on July 3, 2026, at Madison Square Garden. Their wedding was attended by a number of prominent celebrities, including American actress Mariska Hargitay, who happens to be a longtime friend of Swift and revealed what she found to be the best part of the wedding.

Rookie linebacker Jimmy Rolder was back on the practice field Tuesday, Sept. 8, for the Detroit Lions after missing more than a month with a hamstring injury.
Rolder, the Lions' fourth-round pick, pulled a hamstring on the third day of training camp and missed the rest of the summer. He said in late August he was close to a return.
Rolder was one of several injured players the Lions got back on the field for the first full practice of the week ahead of their season opener Sept. 13 against the New Orleans Saints.
Safeties Thomas Harper and Christian Izien also returned from ankle and leg injuries, respectively, as the Lions had all 52 players on their roster on the field.
Lions safeties coach Jim O'Neil indicated Harper could play in a safety rotation with starters Chuck Clark and Avonte Maddox to start the season.

A versatile and highley rated performer, on paper it seemed to some as if Calvin Palmer's big money move in February 1968 was exactly what Sunderland's struggling squad needed, and yet when he departed two years the later his release felt inevitable – and the man that had brought him was certainly happy to see him go.
Bought by the recently reinstalled Alan Brown, Palmer's issues rarely came down to ability. Although fans felt they never got to see the same all action displays he produced at previous club Stoke City they still recognised his versatility and commitment to winning, particularly during one early appearance when against Stoke he took over from the injured Jimmy Montgomery in goal. It was an example of the type of self-sacrifice Brown would usually appreciate and yet the pair were unable to ever strike up a working relationship, a clash of personalities meaning that the notoriously formidable manager and his unconventional recruit often ***** ed heads.
Palmer would invariably take his football seriously but as a character struggled to acquiesce to Brown's rigid structure and expectations. A squad trip to a cinema the month after signing, during which Palmer decided to leave early, led to Brown disciplining him for a breach of club rules for instance, and once the tone was set a number of other battles followed. By January 1970 Palmer was on the transfer list at his own request, and there was clearly no way back for him.
A court case and subsequent driving ban that month served to emphasise the differences between the player and manager; Palmer had found himself on the wrong side of the law whilst Brown had previously served as a police officer and maintained a strict zero tolerance attitude towards any sort of infringements thereafter. In more modern times it might be sensed that Palmer's nature simply warranted a different approach, but the 'Bomber's' management style never relied on subtlety and in the May he confirmed his decision to cut his losses on the £70,000 fee that had been paid and gave his player a free transfer.
It was presumed that this would be the end of the matter, but Palmer, often accused of being 'outspoken' in those more deferential times, did still intend of having the final word. In August he joined Cape Town City and the following month there was to be a rude awakening for Brown when on this day a national Sunday paper launched a 'warts and all' series detailing from South Africa the views and stories of the now ex Rokerman. Whereas Palmer's seemingly divergent traits would be better understood now it was easy then to tag him as a controversial figure, but even still the new column was quite the exposé, with the account being labelled as an 'explosive' chat with 'football's stormiest rebel'.

Despite starting 32 minutes later than anticipated due to lightning in the area, Saturday saw Jaylen Raynor pass for two touchdowns and run for a pair as Iowa State (1-0, 0-0 Big 12) opened the Jimmy Rogers era with a 38-10 win over SEMO (1-1, 0-0 OVC).
Even though the first two plays from scrimmage by Aiden Flora gained 22 yards on the ground – a rush of 17 yards and a rush of five yards – a pair of incompletions brought out Jonah DuPont who punted 39 yards to the Redhawks' 14-yard line.
The ensuing SEMO drive was a three-and-out, but, notably for the Cyclones defense Isaac "Bobby" Terrell picked up the first of his three sacks on the day. Iowa State finished with six sacks to the Redhawks' one.
The Cyclones struck quickly on their second possession of the day, starting with a 45 yard reception by Dominic Overby. Three plays later, the first touchdown of ISU's 2026 season came from the feet of Raynor.
SEMO's second drive began on their own 25-yard line with a self-inflicted five-yard delay of game penalty. Though Khyair Spain and Braylen Ragland scratched out consecutive one-yard rushes, a deep third-down incompletion brought out Teagan Cobb. His 44-yard punt was ***** ed by Aiden Flora and recovered by Cooper Falconite at the Iowa State 31-yard line, gifting the Redhawks an immediate second chance in Cyclone territory.

It's not Thanksgiving and it's not the Apple Cup of old. The Dawgs and Cougs will kick off the '26 season by renewing their rivalry at Husky Stadium. WSU is part of the new-look Pac-12 with a new-look roster and a new-looking coaching staff. Kirby Moore arrives for his first head coaching job after serving as an Offensive Coordinator at Missouri and Fresno St. They welcome QB Caden Pinnick from Cal-Davis. The combination of Moore and Pinnick give WSU a good foundation for the offense. However, they did lose a lot of players in the transfer portal, particularly to Iowa St, where former coach Jimmy Rogers took over. It has only been three years since UW went to the Big 10, but the talent on each roster shows how much the talent has diverged in that time.
The game will kick off at 1:00 PM PT from Husky Stadium. It will air on NBC with Paul Burmeister, Yogi Roth, and Zora Stephenson on the call. It will stream via the NBC Sports app. It will also be the debut of new UW Football PBP voice Elise Woodward. Cam Cleeland will join her in the booth on KJR 93.3.
This is your thread to discuss all things UW and Apple Cup. Go Dawgs!

Just as they did in the preseason, the Los Angeles Rams listed Stetson Bennett as the No. 2 quarterback on their unofficial depth chart for Week 1. That put Ty Simpson as the QB3 behind Matthew Stafford and Bennett, but the Rams don't view the rookie as a third-stringer.
Sean McVay said on Friday that while Bennett is second on the depth chart, he views Stetson and Simpson as 2A and 2B behind Stafford.
That obviously wasn't the case with Jimmy Garoppolo and Bennett last season, but with two young quarterbacks on the roster, the Rams want to make sure both of them get reps during practice. Compared to last year, when Garoppolo was getting all the scout team reps, the Rams plan to split them accordingly between Bennett and Simpson.
Sean McVay said that while the depth chart lists Stetson Bennett IV as QB2 and Ty Simpson as QB3, he looks at it as "2A, 2B."

Explaining why this is different than previous years, McVay said Jimmy Garoppolo took all of the scout team reps when he was the backup, whereas this…
After the final preseason game, which Bennett sat out, McVay declined to name a backup quarterback. Simpson played well all summer, as did Bennett, making the competition much more interesting than some expected.

From my own Bears-centric view of things, the Chicago Bears under Ryan Poles seem to have had a pretty rare set of conditions to help usher along a rebuild. In his first five years on the job, Poles had four selections in the top third of the first round (i.e. Top 11 picks) including the #1 overall pick. He also made nine eight selections in the Top 50, and seventeen selections in the Top 100. How many GMs have enjoyed that much opportunity?
Well, it depends. Obviously, the selections needed to be available under the same general manager. This excludes teams like Cleveland, which had back-to-back #1 selections in 2017 (Garrett) and 2018 (Mayfield) and seven top-ten picks in just nine years–but that was under six different managers. It also excludes Nick Cesario of Houston Texans, who would put up a good show but who only has three picks in the top eleven, even if all those were made within the top three. Likewise, if the sticking point is four elite selections, Trent Baalke doesn't count either. He made back-to-back selections with the #1 overall pick (Lawrence and Walker), and despite having more pricey premium picks on a per-year basis than Poles (averaging 2,581 points on the Jimmy Johnson chart just in his four years, or the equivalent of having the #4 spot in the draft for four straight years), he didn't qualify because his tenure was too short.
Also not included, even though he would technically qualify, is Les Snead. He did in fact have four elite picks (and the #13 selection he used on Aaron Donald) in a 4-year stretch, but I intend on doing a larger piece later in the season looking at exactly how the Rams have defied convention on so many different fronts. For now, though, here are the other nine in ascending order of Top 11 draft picks made, with ties broken by average value of top picks made.
Licht needed seven years to reach the playoffs, but when he got his team there, they won it all. His first six years averaged 2,358 points of premium draft selections per year and a .34 win rate, meaning he had more to work with but worse results than Poles has had to date. Of course, that championship the next year covers a lot.
Key Selections: 4/18/31, meaning that he had 4 picks in the top eleven, 18 picks in the top fifty, and 31 in the first three rounds* with 19,457 in premium picks (1,621 per year) over his 12-year career.

The Arizona Cardinals' best player entering 2026 is tight end Trey McBride, who had a record-setting 2025 season. He was second in the NFL with 126 receptions, and he set the single-season record for receptions in a season by a tight end.
He could hit another league milestone this season.
He should set the NFL record for the most tight end receptions in the first five seasons of a career.
McBride has 347 career receptions, 39 short of Jimmy Graham's record of 386.
McBride should smash that record, surpassing it in the first half of the season. With 237 catches over the last two seasons, he could hit 450 by the season's end.

It is time to finally return to the ballroom.
Season 35 of ABC's Dancing with the Stars is set to air on Tuesday, September 15, as part of a two-night premiere.
The show has become a fan favorite largely because of its cast mix of actors, athletes, and reality TV stars.
Ahead of Wednesday, only four cast members had been officially revealed. Summer House's Ciara Miller, Love Island UK contestant Maura Higgins, Jimmy Kimmel Live's Guillermo Rodriguez and the Savannah Bananas' Jackson Olson were the only cast members known.
The remainder of the cast was announced during Wednesday's episode of Good Morning America. Joining Olson are Ezra Frech and Amber Glenn as this season's athletes.

In his first Grand Slam tournament as the top seed, Alexander Zverev had all that he could handle with Lorenzo Sonego in the opening round of the US Open.
Zverev has never lost to Sonego in his career, in six prior meetings, before this year's US Open.
He cruised through the first set before dropping the second and third. Zverev was two points from being ousted from the tournament in the fourth set.
