Former LSU gymnast and new Baywatch actress Livvy Dunne is making the most of her 24th year on the planet by enjoying a private flight to the Bahamas.
Dunne, who said an emotional goodbye to the sport of gymnastics before turning into a social media influencer and actress, claims she's already "washed up" at just 24 years old. Of course, it's a play on words for Dunne, who shared the post from the beaches in the Bahamas.
The post on Instagram shows off her new digs for the weekend as she kicks off her birthday activities by the pool. Dunne's next likely viral post wouldn't be complete without a few poses with her "24" balloons and cheeky swimsuit.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry was joking about sending Lane Kiffin into Oxford on an F-16. But that joke came up in the first place because Saturday night isn't shaping up to be a warm welcome. No. 7 LSU has opened the 2026 season in style, crushing Clemson 51-10 before rolling past Louisiana Tech 45-14. But the real test starts now, and it's one where emotions run high.
LSU's SEC opener comes at Ole Miss, where Lane Kiffin will make his first return to Oxford since leaving the Rebels for Baton Rouge. Jeff Landry, speaking with ESPN, understands what awaits.
"I'm thinking about having to send him in on an F-16 and maybe the team on a C-130," he said. "Security is going to be really tight. You know, we might need the National Guard out there to protect our team. I think it's going to be an interesting weekend."
That exaggeration may be a joke, but the governor also revealed that his office has already been in contact with Mississippi officials about security for the LSU contingent.
Lane Kiffin's return to Oxford is going to be electric. Subscribe for more interesting stories.

LSU visiting Ole Miss would likely have been considered the top matchup for Week 3 of the college football season with the Tigers ranked No. 7 and the Rebels right behind them at No. 8 in the AP Top 25 poll.
But Saturday's game also comes with a significant dose of intrigue and potential drama with Lane Kiffin returning to Oxford, Mississippi after leaving Ole Miss for LSU before the end of last season.
How Kiffin will be greeted by Rebels fans is the great question leading up to Saturday night's SEC clash. Some are even concerned that the tensions could get out of hand with outraged fans wanting to lash out at Kiffin.
Included among those is Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry. Well, sort of. While he acknowledged that feelings will surely be heightened, the governor joked about what measures might be necessary to ensure the safety of Kiffin and the LSU football team.
"I'm thinking about having to send him in on an F-16 and maybe the team on a C-130," Landry said to ESPN's Mark Schlabach. "Security is going to be really tight. You know, we might need the National Guard out there to protect our team. I think it's going to be an interesting weekend."

The New England Patriots may need to address their edge rusher unit after another injury landed on Harold Landry's doorstep to begin the 2026 NFL season.
The Patriots have a productive unit when healthy, led by Landry and Dre'Mont Jones, with rookie Gabe Jacas expected to produce meaningfully for the team. However, more may be needed.
Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox labeled Maxx Crosby and Kayvon Thibodeaux as being two star edge rushers that the Patriots ought to trade for in 2026, in the event that they pursue a player to fill their needs in the trade market.
"If another team comes calling about Crosby, the Raiders will undoubtedly listen," Knox said. "They're in the early stages of a rebuild and may not be ready to contend while Crosby is still in his playing prime. The asking price will be high, but teams that believe they can chase a Super Bowl are bound to target him before November 10."
Crosby is a superstar edge rusher who has the talent to take New England over the top in the Super Bowl race. Giving up draft picks and a player or two will do the Patriots much good to stack their roster with Drake Maye, A.J. Brown, Christian Gonzalez, Romeo Doubs and Crosby as the heaviest-hitters on their team.

Rangers news: Jacob deGrom's strong start ends with concerning injury update appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Texas Rangers star pitcher Jacob deGrom pitched well on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners. However, he was removed after throwing 92 pitches through six innings, a decision that Rangers manager Skip Schumaker later said was due to an injury concern, via Kennedi Landry of MLB.com.
"Skip Schumaker said that Jacob deGrom was dealing with groin tightness through much of his start today. That's what the mound visit was about in the sixth and that's also why he didn't come back out for the seventh," Landry reported.
deGrom was indeed terrific while on the mound despite battling groin tightness throughout the outing. The veteran right-hander struck out 12 Mariners through six innings while allowing no runs and only one hit. Disaster struck following deGrom's departure from the contest, as Jakob Junis allowed four runs. The Rangers were defeated 4-3, a loss that dealt a blow to a team that is competing for a postseason spot.

Brian Kelly knows the intersection of culture, politics, sports and LSU all too well.
He remembers receiving an invitation to one of Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry's biggest fundraisers — a "gator-tagging event" — amidst LSU's own preseason football camp.
Kelly is not at all surprised LSU's attempt to play athletes who had spent time in NFL training camps has become intertwined with all things… Louisiana.
Opinion: Lane Kiffin has LSU at war with SEC. The consequences could last years

Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:SPCX) announced Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2026, that it intends to invest $100 billion in a new Starship campus on 125,000 acres in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. Construction is expected to begin in 2027, while the company expects the first launch by 2029.
Once completed, Starbase Louisiana is expected to have five launch complexes, each with two launchpads. The company says the site will have facilities for fuel production and storage, power generation, vehicle processing, deep-water shipping capabilities -- even housing and possibly an airport.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
One thing to note is that the site includes sensitive coastal wetlands. **** eX has said it will leave portions undeveloped and will work with state agencies on habitat protection, but the company's environmental record means the project is likely to face stiff opposition from conservation groups. The company is currently facing a lawsuit in Texas over a land swap that would hand it more than 700 acres of a national wildlife refuge, plus lawsuits for its use of gas generators to power its Colossus data center in Mississippi.
Governor Jeff Landry told reporters the project was important to improving the local economy, saying that, "this project means more than just steel, technology, and capital. It represents jobs for our families. It represents momentum for our communities, and it represents protection for our coast." **** eX itself says the project will bring 3,000 jobs to the region.

Will New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez play in Saturday's Week 2 preseason matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles?
While the Patriots have not confirmed Gonzalez's status for the game, it is expected that the star defensive back will miss a second straight preseason game.
Gonzalez has not practiced since last Monday, a day before the team's scheduled joint training camp practice with the Indianapolis Colts. Patriots coach Mike Vrabel has noted multiple times that the absence is due to an injury that Gonzalez sustained, despite all of the concerns that it could be contract-related.
"Christian was unavailable, physically unavailable for the practice. That's the clarification," Vrabel stated. "Just like other players that I told to have treatment, and everybody has a plan here, there were other guys that were in that same category. If you want to list the names: Christian Elliss, Brenden Schooler, Harold Landry, Christian Barmore, et cetera. So make sure they're all included. They were all in the same group of what they did."
The Patriots and Gonzalez have continued to work behind the scenes on a potential contract extension.

It is Day 30 of our 100-day countdown to kickoff. We are looking back at the 100 most iconic games in Dallas Cowboys history. The countdown will leads us right up to the opening game of 2026. Our look back doesn't depend on just one criteria for our rankings. We take into consideration things like how big the game was for the organization, how memorable the game was, games that had unusual events take place, games that are a part of NFL lore, Cowboys firsts, and games where the Cowboys just plain dominated. Variety is the spice of life and we have all different kind of Cowboys games to review. At the bottom, we'll link each day of the countdown so you can go back and check out any you missed.
Welcome in for Day 30 of our 100-day countdown to kickoff, when we revisit the playoff victory that sent the Cowboys one step closer to the first Super Bowl championship in franchise history. Dallas travelled to face a Minnesota team that had won eight straight games to close the regular season, but Tom Landry's veteran squad looked to deliver one of its most complete defensive performances.
The Vikings entered the postseason with plenty of momentum, led by quarterback Gary Cuozzo, a physical rushing attack and the famous Purple People Eaters defense. Minnesota looked like a legitimate championship contender and Dallas had spent years falling just short in the playoffs, but arrived determined to prove it could finally finish the job.
Dallas's first opportunity came when Larry Cole forced Dave Osborn to fumble, which Jethro Pugh recovered at the Minnesota 36-yard line. Roger Staubach then completed an 18-yard pass to Bob Hayes, but Page's third-down sack halted the drive. Mike Clark kicked a 26-yard field goal, but Fred ******* responded with a 27-yard field goal to tie the score at 3-3.
Chuck Howley intercepted Bob Lee, returning the ball 26 yards into Minnesota territory and giving the Cowboys the lead. Despite failing to score, Clark converted a 44-yard field goal for a 6-3 halftime advantage. However, Minnesota squandered excellent field position after Clint Jones' 61-yard kickoff return, with three incompletions followed by ******* missing a 41-yard field goal.

We're giving you an interesting one for Day 36 on our 100-day countdown to kickoff, when we revisit the first great heartbreak in Cowboys history. The Packers came to the Cotton Bowl to face Dallas in the 1966 NFL Championship Game, which was held on New Year's Day 1967. The winner would represent the NFL in the first AFL-NFL World Championship Game, now known as Super Bowl I.
Dallas, a seven-season expansion franchise, had never achieved a winning record or postseason appearance. However, under the guidance of Tom Landry, their young team went 10-3-1, clinched the Eastern Conference ****** le, and earned the privilege of hosting Vince Lombardi's defending champions, the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay arrived at 12-2, boasting a roster brimming with championship experience. While Dallas possessed talent, speed, and ambition, this was their first encounter with the immense pressure of contending for a league ****** le.
The difference in experience was immediately apparent. Green Bay opened with a touchdown drive, capped off by Bart Starr's 17-yard pass to Elijah Pitts. On the ensuing kickoff, Packers rookie Jim Grabowski returned a fumble 18 yards for another touchdown, leaving Dallas trailing 14-0 despite not having run a single offensive play.
The Cowboys' resilience would eventually define the franchise, even though it could have overwhelmed a team making its first playoff appearance. After a 13-play possession directed by Don Meredith, Dan Reeves completed a three-yard touchdown run to tie the game at 14 before the first quarter ended. Dallas then attacked again, with Don Perkins breaking through for a 23-yard touchdown, erasing the entire deficit.

The Rangers won a thriller last night over the Orioles.
Shawn McFarland details the game-saving play in the ninth inning that preserved the win.
A bases-loaded K for Eovaldi and a big homer for Pederson also key, writes Kennedi Landry.

New England Patriots rookie edge rusher Gabe Jacas sent a message to supporters of the franchise after the team's ninth training camp practice of the summer.
According to 98.5 The Sports Hub, Jacas stated before reporters on Tuesday that he is determined to play at the highest level possible in 2026.
"I just want to let all the Patriots fans know that I'm behind everybody and you're going to get the best player out of me each and every game," Jacas said. "And just, anything I can do to help the team win, I'm going to do it, whatever it takes."
Jacas signed his rookie deal with the Patriots on July 26, nearly three months after getting drafted by the Patriots with the No. 55 overall pick on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft. He took the practice field for the first time with the team this summer during training camp.
The 22-year-old is in line to play behind Harold Landry and Dre'Mont Jones on the edge in 2026 as one of the top backups on the team for next season.

Good morning.
Shawn McFarland writes that the Texas Rangers played the team that perhaps sold most at the deadline and they committed five errors while nearly getting shut out in their sixth consecutive loss.
Jeff Wilson writes that there was plenty of buzz about how the Rangers would tackle the trade deadline yesterday only for them to not do much of anything at all (which also wasn't surprising).
Evan Grant notes that the big move was ditching Josh Smith to a selling Toronto for left-handed pitcher Adam Macko.
Kennedi Landry writes that Jacob deGrom could have been dealt but, thanks to a no-trade clause, he decided to stay in Texas.

Bears coach Ben Johnson says wide receiver Luther Burden is poised to build off his promising rookie season in 2025 and become one of the best receivers in the NFL. Maybe the very best.
Asked on Fox 32 in Chicago about saying Burden is destined to be one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, Johnson says he recognizes that Burden is among an elite group of players who are special in the way they compete.
"They kind of flip a switch when they go on the field and they feel like they're invincible and they're the best players out there," Johnson said.
Johnson was the Dolphins' wide receivers coach when Jarvis Landry was one of the NFL's best receivers in Miami, and more recently coached Amon-Ra St. Brown with the Lions. Johnson said both of those players are like Burden in the way they compete on every single down.
"St. Brown in Detroit, who I have a strong affinity for, he plays the game the same way. I feel that from Luther," Johnson said. "He wasn't a full-time starter for us a year ago, but the snaps that he did have, he's got that competitive edge and desire to be great, and it's carried over into the spring and summer as well. He's been a regular in our building, working with our strength staff. He wants to be the most conditioned player on the team. wants to be one of the strongest receivers on the team and just continues to soak in all the knowledge."

We asked for your views after Hearts conceded two late goals to lose their Premiership opener 2-1 at Aberdeen.
Here are some of your comments:
Fraser: This is going to be one long, long season…
Jim: We have to be patient, it takes a little time to get a winning team together and after the upheaval at Tynecastle this past couple of months I am not surprised. I believe we still have basis of a championship challenging team but the ease with which we lost goals in quick succession against Sturm Graz and now Aberdeen is a concern. I also think it is time Landry Kabore stepped aside and James Wilson was given his chance alongside Claudio Braga up front.
Campbell: Hearts are rebuilding after the shock of losing the ****** le last season. So many new faces to bed in. No proper pre-season and straight into the Champions League. Can't expect too much this season I'm afraid.

The Patriots put three players on injury lists earlier this week and head coach Mike Vrabel said that a fourth will be joining them.
Vrabel said at his Friday press conference that safety/special teamer Brenden Schooler will go on the non-football injury list to open training camp. Vrabel did not share the nature of the issue that Schooler is dealing with, but said "he may be away for a little bit or out for a little bit."
Schooler had 19 tackles in the 2025 regular season and added six more in the playoffs. He was an All-Pro for his special teams work in 2024.
Linebacker Harold Landry and tight end C.J. Dippre are on the physically unable to perform list while running back Terrell Jennings joins Schooler on NFI.

Training camp is right around the corner, and there are more concerns for the New England Patriots' edge rushing unit than there were at the start of the offseason.
When it comes to solving their issues on the edge, the Patriots are moonwalking backwards quicker than the late, great Michael Jackson.
Veteran Harold Landry III, who led the Patriots with 8.5 sacks last season, is reportedly expected to open the season on the physically unable to perform list. And Gabe Jacas, the second-round draft pick expected to throw on the red cape and help the team right out of the gate, missed all of the spring practices and has still yet to sign his rookie contract.
Expecting a miracle would be hoping that Landry can somehow stay consistently healthy for an entire season at 30 years old. It would also be hoping that the team signs Jacas, and the former Illinois standout's talent is so great that it supersedes the need for the spring work on the football field and in the classroom.
If those ideas feel too far-fetched, here are four emergency options for the Patriots to address their edge rusher concerns:

The New England Patriots went into the offseason with edge rusher expected to be one of their biggest needs. Now, merely days away from the start of training camp, edge rusher is still the biggest need on the roster.
One of the more unpopular moves during the offseason was the team's decision to move on from K'Lavon Chaisson, who outplayed his initial perceived value on the one-year deal he signed with the Patriots in 2025.
He finished second behind Harold Landry III with 7.5 sacks and was one of the most productive defenders on the field over the four-game playoff stretch, racking up three sacks, one pass defended, one forced fumble, 10 quarterback hits and four tackles for a loss.
And yet, despite clear upside being shown by Chaisson, the Patriots decided to shift their entire focus to Dre'Mont Jones in free agency. It's a move that might come back to haunt the team given the current state of the edge position.
Landry is reportedly opening training camp on the physically unable to perform list. It's a concerning designation for a 30-year-old player who consistently dealt with injuries last season. There are no guarantees that Landry can serve as a full-time player on the edge anymore at this point in his career. Perhaps he'd be better off contributing in a part-time rotational role on defense.

We asked for your views after Hearts were humbled by Sturm Graz in the first leg of their Champions League second-round qualifier.
Here's what some of you had to say:
Paul: Terrible defending. I do not know why they persist with Pierre Landry Kabore - he's bang average and his goal ratio is awful. Give young James Wilson some game time, at least he knows how to put the ball in the back of the net. We were punished due to poor defending and things have to tighten up.
Gina: I thought we looked good when attacking but we need to look at our defence, which let us down badly.
David: Real mixed emotions with this one. We looked very dangerous going forward, even with some of our better players starting on the bench. But our inability to finish moves was very frustrating. The real problem is in defence. Jamie McCart is not nearly good enough for this level, but I ******* ume he was only in because Stuart Findlay isn't quite ready to start after ankle surgery. We wouldn't have had that scoreline with Findlay or Craig Halkett.

It’s the second ring of Landry Shamet’s summer. Fresh off of helping the Knicks win their first championship in 53 years, the sharpshooter has sparked engagement rumors as his partner Cameron Aimonetti was pictured in photos obtained by The Post with some new jewelry on her ring finger. The couple was pictured relaxing on the Amalfi Coast in Italy, with Aimonetti wearing a large rock on her left hand.

Project B, the new global women's and men's basketball league, has named former Atlanta Hawks general manager Landry Fields as its head of men's basketball.
The league made the announcement Thursday morning, adding that Fields will oversee men's player recruitment and team operations and work closely with the league's chief basketball officer Alana Beard.
"Landry understands the game from every angle," Beard, the No. 2 pick in the 2004 WNBA draft, said in a statement distributed by the league. "He's been a player, he's built teams, and he knows culture doesn't happen by accident."
The league has already started rolling out its women's circuit, and so far about a dozen women's basketball players have said they'll be participating, including Dallas Wings rookie Azzi Fudd, former WNBA MVP Nneka Ogwumike, Alyssa Thomas, Jonquel Jones, Jewell Loyd and Seattle Storm rookie Awa Fam. Many young players from around the world are also expected to play.
Project B will feature six teams with 11 players and plans to barnstorm across Europe and Asia. Valencia, Spain, and Tokyo have already been announced as two of the host cities. It will debut early next year, with the men's and women's circuits running together from January-April.

Underrated Knicks hero gets a well-deserved contract extension after the championship originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
After bouncing around the league, Landry Shamet seems to have found a long-term home with the New York Knicks. Before the 2025-26 season, Shamet was in limbo because he was competing for a contract. When Malcolm Brogdon abruptly retired, Shamet got his opportunity to play for the Knicks.
Thankfully for Shamet, head coach Mike Brown valued his impact as a shooter and a positive defender. He played a crucial role as the season progressed, eventually becoming one of the first players off the bench during their championship run as the team's resident knockdown shooter.
Shamet might have only averaged six points per game in the entirety of the Playoffs, but he was a key member of the rotation. He shone mostly in the Knicks' Eastern Conference Finals series against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was tremendous for the Knicks, as he shot at a historic 91.7% clip, making 11 of his 12 three-point attempts against Cleveland.
He was still quite impactful in the NBA Finals, but most of the spotlight went to Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and OG Anunoby. Despite that, Shamet knew how to play his role, which has now earned him a spot on the team for years to come.

The Baltimore Ravens Top 100 countdown moves into the upper fifth of the rankings with a group of players whose contributions extended well beyond the stat sheet. The collection of talent ranked between Nos. 80 and 71 include Pro Bowl performers, defensive playmakers, special teams standouts, and several players who became fan favorites during successful stretches of Ravens football.
No. 80 belongs to Dawan Landry, one of the most physical safeties of the early John Harbaugh era. A fifth-round pick in 2006, Landry quickly emerged as a productive starter before injuries interrupted his development. He returned to Baltimore later in his career and remained a respected leader in the secondary, finishing his Ravens tenure with 13 interceptions and countless momentum-changing hits.
At No. 79 is Pernell McPhee, whose versatility made him one of the most valuable members of Baltimore's defensive front during the early 2010s. McPhee developed into a disruptive pass rusher capable of playing multiple positions and recorded 17 sacks during his first stint with the Ravens. His breakout 2014 season helped earn a lucrative free-agent contract and cemented his place among Baltimore's most successful developmental stories.
Paul Kruger lands at No. 78 after playing a major role in the Ravens' Super Bowl XLVII championship run. Kruger saved his best football for the postseason, generating pressure on opposing quarterbacks and helping anchor a defense that made a memorable playoff run. His nine sacks during the 2012 season were a career high and arrived at the perfect time for a championship contender.
No. 77 belongs to former Texas Longhorns legend Priest Holmes, one of the franchise's earliest offensive stars. Before becoming an NFL rushing champion in Kansas City, Holmes helped establish Baltimore's ground-game identity. He rushed for more than 2,100 yards and scored 20 touchdowns during his Ravens career, including a key role on the Super Bowl ****** V championship team.

Louisiana's attorney general was indicted Thursday over accusations she threatened the jobs of New Orleans leaders who fought a Republican-led overhaul of local courts in the heavily Democratic city.
The 16-count indictment against Republican Liz Murrill, handed up by a New Orleans grand jury, charges Louisiana's first female attorney general with intimidation and malfeasance. At the center of the case are deepening rifts between state leaders in Louisiana, which is heavily Republican, and Democrats who control the state's most prominent city.
Republican Gov. Jeff Landry promised a swift pardon, saying Murrill would not have her reputation tarnished by an "Orleans Kangaroo court." Mayor Helena Moreno, a Democrat, was among those who had accused the state's top law enforcement official in May of making threats against public officials.
Murrill called the case against her "retaliatory, meritless, and unconstitutional." Late Thursday, Murrill said she had filed for an emergency stay with the Louisiana Supreme Court.
"I will not back down. I will continue enforcing the law, fighting corruption, and doing the job the people of Louisiana elected me to do," she wrote on X.

Landry Jones knows his NFL career wasn’t typical.
The former NFL quarterback didn’t become a long-term starter with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he spent enough time around Mike Tomlin to understand why so many players speak highly of him.
Jones also had a rare path before he ever reached the NFL, playing for Cooper Henderson at Artesia High School in New Mexico and Bob Stoops at Oklahoma.
“My football career is not one that a lot of people have had,” Jones told reporter Chaz Wright from the New Mexico Sports Hall of Fame ceremony.
“It felt like I just got lucky with being able to be coached by some of the greatest coaches,” Jones said. “Obviously coach Tomlin, gonna be a Hall of Fame coach in his own right.”
