Ben Affleck once escaped a terrifying teenage mugging after recognizing the boys holding him at knifepoint. Years later, he learned one of those boys had killed someone and served 20 years in prison.
The actor recently revisited the encounter while reflecting on his childhood in Cambridge, Massachusetts. What began as a frightening walk home eventually became a memory that followed him into parenthood.
Affleck shared the story during an interview with Kerry Washington on her Street You Grew Up On podcast. He recalled walking home from high school at around 15 when two boys in hoods crossed the street toward him. Affleck initially considered running but decided against it. "They pass me, grab me, take a knife out: 'Gimme your money,'" he recalled. "And I was like, 'Oh!' I was scared."
The situation changed when Affleck recognized the teenagers from playing baseball. The boys also recognized him, turning the encounter from a mugging into a strange neighborhood exchange. "So I was like, 'I guess I'm off the hook?'" he remembered. Affleck later discovered that one of the boys had taken a much darker path. "That kid who robbed me ended up three or four years later killing somebody with a knife and going to prison for 20 years," he said.
He also admitted that he never told his mother about the incident. Affleck said he avoided worrying her and now regretted keeping difficult experiences to himself. "I didn't wanna worry her. I didn't wanna scare her," he explained. That silence became especially meaningful after Affleck became a father. "You guys know you can tell me anything. Anything! I'm so cool with anything you have to say," he recalled telling his children.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 1-0 after a 20-13 victory against the Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 13 at Acrisure Stadium.
The stars played a big part in getting them there. T.J. Watt returned a fourth-quarter interception for a touchdown to provide the game-winning points. Veteran receiver Michael Pittman Jr. – the headliner of the team's 2026 free agent class – caught three passes for 58 yards. And Alex Highsmith knifed through Atlanta blockers to record two sacks of his own.
Add it all up, and the positives were plentiful for first-year coach Mike McCarthy in his debut.
Here's a look at some of the highlights and lowlights through the eyes of Pro Football Focus evaluators, who study every play on film to grade each player individually. For context, players are graded on a 0-100 scale.

The top of the National League East played itself to a stalemate this holiday weekend in Philadelphia, as the visiting Atlanta Braves and the hosting Phillies split a four-game set, two wins apiece. It was a captivating showdown between familiar rivals, one packed with impressive performances and knife's edge moments. But in the end, Walt Weiss' Braves left the Citizens Bank Park thunderdome with the same four-game division lead with which they arrived. Much happened — and little, too. At this point, the division is Atlanta's to lose.
That said, despite the dwindling of the baseball calendar, these clubs are not finished with each other yet. Three more regular-season games remain next weekend in Georgia. And, of course, there's always the opportunity for a big-time rendezvous come October.
Here's what we learned this weekend.

The most consequential swing of the series — and perhaps Atlanta's entire season — came Sunday afternoon via the suddenly en fuego Ronald Acuña Jr. With the Braves down three and a pair on, the electrifying outfielder tied things up with a three-run crowd-silencer. After warding off six consecutive fastballs from Philly reliever Alex McFarlane, Acuña put the seventh, a 100.5-mph four-seamer, into the seats. As he rounded the sacks, the ever-emotive slugger unleashed his elaborate cornucopia of long-ball celebrations, much to the displeasure of the booing Philadelphia crowd.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Embarrassing. An embarrassment. And more embarrassing beyond that.
The Kyle Whittingham era was supposed to embody toughness, discipline, playing smart, and doing things the right way. After saying all of the right things and appearing to be confident in what Michigan football would bring to the table in his debut in Ann Arbor, Whittingham's team was not only the opposite of everything he espouses, it was a debacle in every way. The Wolverines were a miracle away from, at best, the second-worst loss in program history, and given what the head coach's teams had been for two-plus decades in Salt Lake City, it's a head-scratcher.
The opening offensive drive was as impressive as the rest of the game was bad. Despite mistakes, quarterback Bryce Underwood sliced through the Western Michigan defense like a hot knife through ***** er, making what ended up being fall camp bluster look prescient. But that was it. 75 yards on the opening drive, and a 47-yard Hail Mary aside, it accounted for all but 154 yards accumulated all game. The offense, against a supposedly overmatched foe, made the Sherrone Moore-era offense look like the air raid by comparison. The defense got off the field, surrendering little in terms of points, sure, but it also allowed the Broncos to hold the ball for over 40 minutes, including a 13-minute, 40-second drive spanning from the third to fourth quarters. When the offense got the ball back, it quickly relinquished possession after three plays, managing seven yards on first down before deciding that moving the ball forward was anathema to its goals.
And then there were the other mistakes: missed ***** ignments, an ***** ortment of penalties, and all-around bad play. It wasn't just the opposite of what was expected; it was the opposite of how Whittingham's teams in Utah played for 21 years.
"I'm going to reserve judgment on that until I dissect the film," Whittingham said after the game. "But we talked about how we improved dramatically through fall camp. That's a fact. I mean, there's no one that attended practice that wouldn't tell you anything different. We had former players there, and everybody had the same ***** ysis. And so, and we're not -- I'm not saying that Bryce played a bad game. This isn't on Bryce Underwood. This is, like I said, it's on me, and I've got to figure out a way to have these guys better prepared and be able to get into a rhythm offensively. It's like we never got into a rhythm after that first drive. We always found a way to screw it up. We were like 0-for-5 or 0-for-6 before we converted on third down. And you just can't win football games like that. We were very fortunate to win, obviously."

The UConn men's basketball program has an eventful 11-game history with Duke spanning six decades. The matchups have often featured some of the sport's most iconic players facing off in the NCAA Tournament.
Over the last few months, only one game from this decorated past has really mattered around Storrs, as Braylon Mullins drilled a miraculous 35-foot heave in the final seconds to erase a 19-point first-half deficit and lift UConn to an unforgettable win over Duke in the 2026 Elite Eight.
UConn released its 2026-27 nonconference schedule in an announcement Thursday afternoon, listing the Huskies' all-time record against each opponent and the result of the most recent meeting between the two schools. The Huskies opted to twist the knife in Duke's wound, quoting Ian Eagle's memorable play-by-play call from TNT's broadcast of the Elite Eight victory in the "Last Meeting" section of Thursday's announcement.
The quote reads as follows: "Get it in to Boozer, back for Sarr, ahead, Boozer, that ball deflected! And stolen by Mullins! Karaban, two seconds, Mullins, tosses it up…OOHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
UConn's playful ribbing attracted national attention, with ESPN, among other outlets, taking note of the schedule announcement. Duke is among several high-profile opponents on UConn's schedule, as Dan Hurley has opted to challenge his team with matchups against Michigan, Ohio State, Kansas, Virginia, Arizona and Illinois.

On a night where plenty of his team-mates were panicking, Lawrence Shankland was a figure of calm for Rangers in Falkirk.
His two goals were decisive for Derek McInnes' side, earning a second Scottish Premiership win of the season days after the captain's penalty delivered the first at Pittodrie.
In an error-strewn game that lacked quality, Shankland was the difference maker.
His first whistled into the roof of the net off his weaker left foot, while his second - again on his left - was passed into the bottom corner with the game on a knife edge.
Falkirk boss John McGlynn summed up the Scotland striker's impact.

Patriots Face Fascinating Choose-Your-Own-Adventure At Running Back originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New England Patriots' final running back spot might come down to one simple question. Would Mike Vrabel prefer a Swiss Army knife or a sledgehammer?
Lan Larison and Hassan Haskins enter Thursday night's preseason finale against the Cleveland Browns as two of the leading candidates to become New England's third running back behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.
They offer almost completely different solutions.
Larison is a 5-foot-11, 209-pound runner whose receiving ability and special-teams versatility could give Josh McDaniels another movable piece. Haskins is a 6-foot-2, 228-pound power back built to run between the tackles and absorb the punishment that comes with short-yardage work.

Perez Hilton suffered multiple broken bones after falling on the night of his self-harm livestream earlier this month.
The celebrity blogger is still recovering from his wounds in the hospital after he cut himself with a knife during a 4 August livestream on TikTok.
On Monday, his brother-in-law Tom revealed that his physical injuries are more severe than initially thought during a new episode of The Perez Hilton Podcast with Chris Booker.
Tom, who is married to Hilton's sister, Barbara Lavandeira, said that Hilton had fallen several times during the night of his livestream, resulting in broken bones.
"There were some broken bones. There were some other things unrelated that they discovered stemming all this way back to his sepsis," he shared.
Hilton was hospitalised for severe sepsis in March 2026 after taking flu medication on an empty stomach for a week, which caused a stomach ulcer, a perforation and sepsis. He was admitted to a hospital in Las Vegas and stayed for 21 days, undergoing emergency surgery and treatment.

Former Hibs midfielder Scott Allan is backing David Gray's side to make history by dispatching Gent at home on Thursday to reach the Conference League.
The play-off tie is on a knife-edge after a goalless first leg in Belgium, where Hibs defended stoutly and could have won had Owen Elding's early penalty not been saved.
"Obviously a slender scoreline and, yes, it would have been ideal to come back with a 1-0 win if Elding scores the penalty," said Allan.
"But I just feel Easter Road next week, the atmosphere, the crowd fully behind you, Hibs will manage to come through that and make a bit of history."
Former Partick Thistle striker and boss Kris Doolan agrees that Hibs will progress from the qualifying rounds for the first time - and says the Easter Road factor is key.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — NFL veteran Calais Campbell knew he wanted to keep playing, even after a family tragedy this summer resulting in his mother's death and his brother being charged with murder.
"I love the game of football a lot … it brings me joy," the 39-year-old Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman said Tuesday in his first public remarks since his mother's death. "It was a little harder training, but as far as football goes, I love this game a lot. And this is a very fun place for me to be. So playing football has been great for me."
The Ravens signed the six-time Pro Bowler in April to a one-year deal for his 19th NFL season.
In late June, police found his 71-year-old mother dead at her home in Atlanta during a welfare check. Her 41-year-old son Ciarre Campbell was charged with murder after he was found with a knife, according to arrest warrants. The family told police that Ciarre struggles with mental illness.
The Ravens permitted Calais Campbell to miss the first few full-team practices of training camp. He participated in his first team session on Aug. 3, five days after the Ravens opened full-team camp.

The latest BLS data shows a surprisingly 'boring' month for trucking jobs, with only 100 added. Dive into what this means for fleets and owner-operators, and why the industry might not be 'overcorrecting' as feared. We also break down the volatile oil market, current diesel prices, and the complex Penske lawsuit that's shaking up broker liability. Get the crucial updates supply chain pros need to know.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has reinstated liability claims against two Penske entities in connection with a fatal 2018 jackknife crash in Texas, dealing a significant blow to carriers and brokers who ***** umed that tendering a load down the chain extinguished their legal exposure. The six-page ruling has broad implications for how carriers and brokers structure freight transactions and vet downstream partners.
The load — originating from an automotive seat manufacturer — traveled through at least four parties before the fatal accident. Penske Logistics, the ***** et-based carrier, first received the tender. It passed the load to Penske Transportation Management (PTM), its managed transportation and brokerage arm, which then handed it to Liberty Lane, which in turn brokered it to OK Trans, the carrier whose driver was involved in the crash that killed a motorist.
The Fifth Circuit took two distinct actions. It reinstated PTM as a defendant, citing the U.S. Supreme Court's Charas v. Trans Air precedent commonly referred to in freight as the Montgomery decision, which eliminated the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act's safety-exception shield for brokers. The court also reversed a Southern District of Texas summary judgment that had protected Penske Logistics from vicarious liability as the employer of the downstream driver.

Courtney Clenney was sentenced to six years in prison on Monday as she pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the April 2022 stabbing of her boyfriend in their Miami apartment.
Clenney, 30, was facing second-degree murder charges in the April 3, 2022 death of Christian Obumseli, 27, at the One Paraiso condo located in the Edgewater area of Miami. If found guilty, Clenney would face life in prison, but she came up with a deal with the prosecutors of Miami-Dade.
According to the deal, Clenney will serve six years behind bars with time served credits, in addition to five years of probation, as per the report from NBC6 South Florida. She was arrested on August 15, 2022, and has been jailed without bond; thus, Clenney is expected to stay in jail for a further two years.
It also required Clenney to undergo a mental health evaluation and substance abuse treatment, as well as not derive any financial benefits from the case.
Clenney gained a following of approximately 2 million subscribers on Instagram as Courtney Tailor and did not deny stabbing Obumseli, but she defended herself against an abusive partner. Her lawyer, Frank Prieto, added that Clenney stabbed Obumseli by throwing a kitchen knife from a distance to defend herself.

Clenney, 30, was facing second-degree murder charges in the April 3, 2022 death of Christian Obumseli, 27, at the One Paraiso condo located in the Edgewater area of Miami. If found guilty, Clenney would face life in prison, but she came up with a deal with the prosecutors of Miami-Dade.
According to the deal, Clenney will serve six years behind bars with time served credits, in addition to five years of probation, as per the report from NBC6 South Florida. She was arrested on August 15, 2022, and has been jailed without bond; thus, Clenney is expected to stay in jail for a further two years.

Jabari Smith Jr. is known as the Houston Rockets' "Swiss Army Knife" for his versatility. He is an elite defender and can guard any position. Whether he is guarding the perimeter or protecting the paint, he consistently disrupts the opposing team's offense.
Last season, he totaled a career-high 71 total blocks. He also had 56 total steals, earning himself a 114.2 defensive rating. These impressive numbers represent how crucial a role he played for Houston's defense, which had the third-best-ranked defense in the entire NBA.
On the offensive end, he is a solid spot-up shooter. Last season, he averaged 15.8 points per game, while shooting 45% from the field and 36.3% from deep. However, his ball handling skills were one of his weak spots.
An important metric to represent this weakness is by looking at his field goal percentage after x amount of dribbles. He shoots at 44.8% when he is in a catch-and-shoot motion (0 dribbles). There is a major dip when he has two dribbles before shooting, as his field goal percentage then drops to 36.5%. His field goal percentage drops even further to 28.9% when he takes three or more dribbles before shooting.Improving in this area would surely elevate his game, and he is committed to doing so.
He recently stated: "I definitely want to get better and more comfortable at handling the ball this year. Being able to handle and relieve that pressure from Fred (VanVleet) and the other guards who have to handle the ball the whole game. I'm trying to improve every aspect (of my game), but I feel like ball-handling is the area where I can take the biggest jump. I'm trying to just get stronger with the ball. Not necessarily doing a million moves, but being strong with it and being able to get to my spots. I think that'll open my game up a lot."

Quillan Salkilld vs. Mateusz Gamrot squared off in a Lightweight bout earlier tonight (Sat., Aug. 8, 2026) inside Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada for UFC Vegas 120.
Salkilld was sharp early, stinging Gamrot with jabs and low kicks before an early left hook rocked the veteran. Gamrot dove onto a single leg and used the following transitions to recover, but he couldn't ground the strong young Aussie. Gamrot attacked a heel hook and definitely threatened Salkilld, though he couldn't finish the hold. Salkilld timed a takedown beautifully and advanced into back mount. Despite some excellent scrambling from Gamrot, Salkilld was able to stay on the back and continue attacking the neck.
After a few adjustments, Gamrot was forced to submit.
WOW! This was an incredibly impressive and well-rounded performance from Salkilld. Not only did he pick apart Gamrot on the feet — where we expected Salkilld to have the advantage — but he more than kept up with Gamrot on the canvas. He forced Gamrot to take risks like diving for legs, and Salkilld was able to gain top position as a result of his dominance.
Once on top, his ability to flow through Gamrot's scrambles to maintain the back was absolutely elite jiu-jitsu. Salkilld knifed through Gamrot like ****** ody else, and he's really looking the part of a ****** le contender right now.

LAS VEGAS – It will be nearly 20 months between fights for Billy Quarantillo, and the time off may have been worth it.
Quarantillo (18-7 MMA, 6-5 UFC) not only went under the knife, but he also made a major decision to move from the featherweight division up to lightweight. He'll get a chance to show off his new frame in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 284 at the Meta APEX (Paramount+), when he takes on Diego Ferreira.
"I had knee surgery last year, so obviously, that takes a lot of time away, and then just focusing on rehab, doing everything right," Quarantillo told reporters at media day about his absence. "Then I decided to move up a weight class because I'm getting older, but bigger, stronger. It's been great so far keeping the size on, but obviously, a long layoff."
The 37-year-old says he's been contemplating a switch after his most recent results, which did not go his way. He was stopped by Youssef Zalal and Cub Swanson in his last couple of appearances, but he felt he had to fight not only his human opponent but also an inanimate one: the scale. Moving forward, he's going to be focused moreso on fighting the person standing across the cage from him, and is optimistic the results will turn around.
"It's been one of those things that's been building up for the last couple of fights," Quarantillo said. "... Before the Youssef Zalal fight, I actually made weight, and I was puking the night before. Pretty much all night. As a fighter, I was like, 'Oh man, at least I lost some weight doing this.' Looking back on it, that was awful.

Jana Monroe was the first woman to join the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit.
She spent years profiling serial killers and understanding their psychology.
She knew it was time to leave the BSU for more traditional ****** ignments after work followed her home.
The turning point for former FBI agent Jana Monroe came when her husband couldn't find a single kitchen knife in their home.
Monroe had spent years studying serial killers, violent crime scenes, and the psychology behind some of the country's most disturbing crimes. By then, she realized she had started bringing those cases home with her.

Ireland Baldwin, the daughter of Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin, has wished Perez Hilton a speedy recovery, despite years of being bullied by the blogger.
"Perez Hilton has [publicly] humiliated my family for years, ******* ualized me from a young age, commented on my weight and body (as a child), made unforgivable comments about people in my family, drew [expletive] coming out of my mom's and friend's mouths, and has always been a despicable human being," Ireland, 30, shared via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, August 5. "But his children deserve better and a healthy father and I am so sad for all of them. I hope he gets the help he needs and heals."
The model's words were shared hours after Hilton, 48, was rushed to the hospital after Miami-Dade County Police received numerous calls about his distressing livestream.
Hilton was seen on TikTok Live on August 4 covered in what appeared to be blood. He was wielding a butcher knife and harming himself.

Charles Scaggs, a name that might not ring a bell right away, but one that wrestling fans from the 90s and early 2000s will recognize instantly once you mention 2 Cold Scorpio or Flash Funk, has pleaded guilty to second-degree ****** ault and armed criminal action. The 60-year-old former WCW and WWE performer entered the plea as part of an agreement that spares him a trial, and he's now scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 9.
The case stems from a 2024 incident at a Love's Travel Stop in Kansas City, where Scaggs stabbed a man during a confrontation, reported Cageside Seats. According to Scaggs' account to police, he was working security at the station and told a customer he couldn't light a cigarette inside the building. That exchange escalated into threats, then a physical struggle outside, and eventually Scaggs pulled a knife.
What makes this case particularly serious is that Scaggs told police he continued stabbing the man even after the initial confrontation, saying he stabbed him "a few more times," stated Penn Live. The victim was found bleeding from multiple areas, including his head, chest, abdomen, and legs, and was reportedly in and out of consciousness as he was taken to the hospital. He originally faced two felony charges before the plea deal was reached.
For those who followed wrestling in that era, this news lands differently than your average crime blotter item. Scaggs was a fixture on national television for years, known for an athletic, high flying style that was ahead of its time. It's a reminder that the people we watched flip off top ropes decades ago are living regular, complicated lives long after the cameras stopped rolling.
Before any of this, Scaggs built a genuinely impressive résumé in the ring. He held the WCW Tag Team Championship alongside Buff Bagwell, and later found a home in ECW, where he teamed with The Sandman to capture tag gold there as well. He also picked up the ECW World Television Championship on four separate occasions, a ****** le he defended with the kind of flair that made him a crowd favorite during ECW's scrappy, high risk heyday.

Law enforcement in Miami responded to the home of Perez Hilton on Tuesday after receiving multiple calls claiming the media personality was "livestreaming acts of self-harm on social media."
The livestreamed TikTok allegedly appeared to show him harming himself with a knife and making apparent cuts on his body, with a ****** torso and face.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said in a statement that deputies spoke with his family members on scene and "tactically disengaged while continuing to monitor the situation."

"In many incidents involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis or actively harming themselves, deputies prioritize de-escalation by creating time, distance, and opportunities for communication," the sheriff's office said, adding this tacitc can reduce "suicide-by-cop encounter and minimize the risk of injury to the individual, deputies, and the public."

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton prompted a response from Florida law enforcement on Tuesday evening after livestreaming what appeared to be acts of self-harm from his Miami home, according to local authorities.
A video viewed by Mediaite showed Hilton cutting himself with a large knife in multiple places on his body.
At one point in the livestream, Hilton said, "I'm committing suicide." The stream then ended.
The Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office told Newsweek it received "multiple calls" reporting that an individual was broadcasting acts of self-harm online. Deputies responded to Hilton's residence, where they spoke with family members outside the home and determined Hilton was alone inside.
Rather than immediately force an encounter, deputies opted to "tactically disengage" while continuing to monitor the situation.

Jimmy Fallon spent a portion of Monday's Tonight Show celebrating Trump's defeat in the ongoing Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool saga.
The shallow pool was recently refurbished with a shade of dark blue and outfitted with "advanced nanobubbler technology" to tackle algae blooms that have long plagued the landmark — but algae returned shortly after the multi-million-dollar renovations were complete, and the new sealant started to peel off in chunks that bubbled to the surface.
Late last week, Washington, D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro moved to dismiss criminal charges against former Olympian David Hearn — one of several people arrested on suspicion of vandalizing the monument — after the Trump administration admitted that the damage to the recently installed blue liner was "the result of flawed installation by the contractor."
Fallon, 51, weighed in on the president's defeat, saying, "Trump is upset because his own Justice Department admitted the reflecting pool damage wasn't caused by vandalism, like he said. It was just a result of shoddy construction work.
"Trump claimed someone used a knife to quickly cut the pool liner the length of three football fields. I can barely use a knife to cut open my Amazon box," the late night host quipped.

"The Notorious" is going under the knife.
It has been just over three weeks since former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) two-division champion Conor McGregor finally returned to competition against Max Holloway at UFC 329, highly-anticipated comeback lasted just 69 seconds.
McGregor injured his knee in "Sin City" and was unable to continue, bringing his long-awaited return to a brutal and disappointing end (watch it).
It was later revealed that McGregor tore his ACL and meniscus at UFC 329, putting him on the shelf for roughly one year and requiring surgery.
Well, McGregor announced today (Mon., Aug. 3, 2026) that he is officially headed under the knife.

Could Hill be on his way to the mountains?
Taysom Hill, fantasy football favorite and former New Orleans Saints everyman, announced he wouldn't be returning to the "Big Easy" earlier in the week, leaving the soon-to-be 36-year-old without an NFL home for the first time since 2017.
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton, though, may leave the key under the mat for Hill. Hill developed a reputation of being a Swiss army knife player under Payton's coaching between 2017 and 2021, becoming a versatile weapon in Payton's scheme (and a league-winner in some fantasy football circles).
Payton said on Aug. 1 that he'd consider bringing Hill in if the circumstances are right, adding that he'll likely see Hill at Drew Brees' Hall of Fame enshrinement this coming week.
