A Southern California high school has suspended its varsity football team, and will forfeit its next matchup, for unsportsmanlike actions in a heated rivalry game that also saw the school's mascot flipping off the opposing crowd.
Victor Valley High School defeated Apple Valley 20-7 on Friday in the 56th edition of the annual rivalry game known as the Bell Game. The winning side not only gets bragging rights but also possession of the rivalry trophy, a large bell that is currently painted green to match the school's colors. However, Victor Valley's celebrations, and the antics of their jackrabbit mascot, crossed a line, according to district officials. Victor Valley Union High School District Superintendent Carl Coles and Victor Valley Principal Darius Robinson released joint a statement announcing the team would be suspended as a result.
"There is a clear line between passionate competition and unacceptable conduct," the statement read. "That line was crossed at the Bell Game on Friday, September 11. Members of the Victor Valley High School football team behaved in an unsportsmanlike manner toward the opposing team and its fans, including offensive gestures and language."
With the suspension, Victor Valley will forfeit its upcoming game against Brea Olinda.
While the district's letter did not specify the actions and gestures made that warranted this punishment - the letter also didn't identify offending players - videos circulating on social media seem to provide some insight into what led to the decision. For one thing, the Jackrabbits mascot gave the middle finger to the Sun Devil crowd early on in the game as it walked down the track surrounding the field on Apple Valley's side of the stadium.

Update morning 9/12: Ben Shelton outlasted fellow American Frances Tiafoe in the all-American semifinal to set up a dramatic men's final vs. top-seeded German Alexander Zverev on Sunday afternoon. Zverev has had quite an easy draw to the final, and he'll be the favorite to win his second major this year. Shelton's big serve will test him, and it will be on Shelton to hit competitive backhands to match strokes with Zverev, who also won the French Open. Meanwhile, the women's final between No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka vs. No. 2 seed Elena Rybakina should be a banger, and that kicks off in just a few hours.
Update late night 9/10: It will be No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka vs. No. 2 seed Elena Rybakina for the women's ****** le at the 2026 US Open on Saturday afternoon. The men take the spotlight on Friday with an all-American semifinal between Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe, plus No. 1 seed Alexander Zverev vs. unseeded Karen Khachanov.
The 2026 US Open is down to the Final Four, and both the men's and women's draws have produced some fantastic matchups. It's been 23 years since an American man won a tennis Grand Slam, but there are two U.S. natives facing off against each other in the semifinals — on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, no less. The women's draw went straight chalk with the top four seeds advancing to the semis, promising to bring fans the highest level of tennis possible.
The women's semifinals both take place on Thursday, September 10. Top-seeded masher Aryna Sabalenka takes on American No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula to open play at 7 p.m. ET at Arthur Ashe. Sabalenka looked to be on the brink of a meltdown in the quarterfinals against Wimbledon champ Linda Nosková, but she dug deep to win the match and stay alive. Sabalenka is the biggest hitter on tour, but she's been in a slump in 2026 without a major championship. She has already lost her world No. 1 ranking after the tournament, but she won't care if she can win her fifth major and third straight US Open ****** le. The 32-year-old Pegula is enjoying a late career peak, and she's still chasing her first Grand Slam. Pegula's steady nature could be an advantage against the more emotional Sabalenka.
Elena Rybakina faces American Coco Gauff in the night cap. Rybakina is the No. 2 seed in this tournament, but she will surpass Sabalenka for the world No. 1 ranking when it's over regardless of what happens. At 27, Rybakina is the second-oldest woman to ever ascend to world No. 1 in the rankings for the first time. Gauff will be the fan favorite. She was not at her top level in her quarterfinal victory over Mirra Andreeva, but she still got the job done to advance. Gauff beat Sabalenka in the 2023 US Open final and the 2025 French Open final. She's seeking her third major at age-22.

NEW YORK — In a quarterfinal that offered a contrast in styles, it was the intense Aryna Sabalenka and her obvious force that overcame laid-back Linda Nosková and her stealthy power Tuesday on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
The defending U.S. Open champion knocked off this year's Wimbledon champion 7-6(1), 3-6, 7-6(7), by reversing the narrative of her season since April.
When Nosková's unflappability under pressure left the world No. 1 facing a 4-2 deficit in the third set — as well as the loss of her ranking — Sabalenka did not spiral to defeat, as she has done several times the past few months.
Instead, she found the indomitable poise and unstoppable power that has carried her to the top of the sport, advancing to a sixth consecutive U.S. Open semifinal.
She is sure to play an American — either the No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula or the No. 26 seed Emma Navarro — and she has the opportunity to maintain her status at the top of the game.
Sabalenka was in control early on. In the first set, Nosková worked her way back from 5-2 down to make it 5-5 then force a tiebreak, but her hard work was for naught.

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz posted his most convincing win so far, downing Tommy Paul in straight sets Sunday to reach the US Open quarter-finals, where two-time women's champion Aryna Sabalenka will meet Wimbledon winner Linda Noskova.
Second-seeded Alcaraz, playing his first tournament since he was sidelined by a right wrist injury in April, looked closer to his brilliant best in a 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Paul.
The 20th-seeded American posted the sternest test yet for Alcaraz, and he passed it with flying colors.
"I played my game," said Alcaraz, who unleashed 33 winners as he moved fluidly around the court in the two-hour 20-minute match.
"I tried to play my style," he said. "Tommy is such a talented player. His shots are pretty dangerous and sometimes it's really difficult to control the ball when it comes to you.

Aryna Sabalenka avoided the stumbles that top seeds encountered during Saturday's third-round action at the US Open by dispatching Taylor Townsend to move on to the quarterfinals.
The women's No. 1 seed faced a battle from the unseeded American, but eventually won in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3 on Sunday and will face the winner between No. 6 Linda Nosková and No. 11 Marta Kostyuk next.
Townsend, who advanced to the fourth round by getting past No. 15 Diana Shnaider on Friday, wasn't overwhelmed by Sabalenka's serve as many of her opponents often are and broke twice early on in the first set. But she hurt herself by hitting several returns wide or long.
This story will be updated with more information.

The 1991 blockbuster sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day gave Edward Furlong many happy memories. The corresponding fame, not so much.
"Growing up in the spotlight is really hard," Furlong told People in a recent interview. "It's tough enough as an adult to be able to navigate… just being a human being and making mistakes, and whatever, when you got a spotlight on you … it's tough."
Furlong was 13 when he filmed his screen debut in Terminator 2, playing John Connor, son of Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor. The actor, now 49, told People that he was "spoiled rotten" to be working with a director as commanding as James Cameron, that costar Arnold Schwarzenegger was "the definition of professional," and that Hamilton made Furlong "that much better being able to act alongside her."
After other screen roles in films including 1992's Pet Sematary Two , 1993's A Home of Our Own, and 1998's American History X, however, Furlong's acting career got sidelined amid substance use and personal troubles.

Linda Purl did not spend her 71st birthday surrounded by a red carpet, cameras or an elaborate Hollywood party. She picked up a cake, went hiking and handled a few errands around Los Angeles.
The Happy Days actress was photographed on Sept. 2 wearing a red baseball cap, long-sleeve blue top and black pants while stopping at a Gelson's market for her birthday cake, according to Page Six.
Purl also went on a solo hike before friends later joined her at home for a small celebration. The low-key outing offered a rare candid look at an actress whose television career stretches from one of the defining sitcoms of the 1970s to roles on Matlock, The Office, Homeland and Hacks.
Purl is still acting, touring as a jazz vocalist and recording music, and she is preparing to return Off-Broadway later this month while continuing the life and business she has built with fellow television veteran Patrick Duffy.
The photographs show a birthday that looked deliberately ordinary. Purl collected her cake at Gelson's, completed other errands and spent part of the day hiking alone before friends came to her home later for a small celebration.

You might find it hard to believe that Edward Enninful's 72 Magazine is celebrating its first anniversary. The commemorative issue of 72 celebrates the creative legacy of the 90s and "its continued influence on fashion and culture". The independent London-based print publication, founded by the former British Vogue editor-in-chief under his EE72 media company, bestows upon us a total of 9 dual cover offerings for Issue #5 Fall 2026. Two generations of supermodels come together for the occasion. Gigi Hadid (wearing Versace Spring 1994), Anok Yai, Paloma Elsesser, Imaan Hammam, He Cong, Adwoa Aboah, Mica Argañaraz, Julia ***** is, and Emily Ratajkowski feature on one side of the 72 Magazine cover. Archival photos of 90s icons Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Kristen McMenamy, Yasmeen Ghauri, Karen Elson, Christy Turlington, and Amber Valletta appear on the flip side.

"Gigi actually looks good, for a change! I give credit where credit is due, unlike Vogue France," remarked BalkaniStaCouture upon checking out the covers.
"I like the concept of the dual covers and the two generations of models on each side; very nicely done. There's some strong cover imagery here; I am particularly fond of the Gigi Hadid cover – and love the archival Versace," voiced vogue28.
Yet not everyone was feeling it. "What an unfortunate decision to juxtapose the 90s vs today. You make people realize how the past is superior to the present. This magazine is already setting itself up for irrelevance," Lola701 noted.

Berets have recently become John Travolta's signature look as the Grease star was spotted rocking another one at the Ramones 50th anniversary tribute.
Travolta, 72, took to the stage at Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Sunday, August 30, with Linda Ramone — the widow of the late Johnny Ramone — while wearing a red beret, a leather biker jacket, round sunglasses and, naturally, a Ramones tee.
"Two years ago, I had the pleasure of experiencing the Hollywood Forever Johnny Ramone Tribute for the first time. It was a blast, and I want to return again for the Ramones tribute! With showing something new, my directorial debut, Propeller One-Way Night Coach. And something old, the 50th anniversary of [the] original Carrie. It is going to be a fun night. See you there," he said in a statement, per Daily Mail.
The bold fashion choice came three months after the Hairspray actor debuted a similar white beret on the red carpet at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival in May.
"I love it," he told People when asked about the headwear in New York on May 21. "Once Vogue and Harper's Bazaar voted me the best dressed at Cannes, I went, 'Okay, we've arrived.'"

On August 18, St. John's announced the signing of 6-foot-10 forward Reed Bailey, coming from Indiana. Entering his fifth collegiate season, Bailey now looks to put the 2025-26 season behind him and rediscover the form that made him one of the more intriguing players in the transfer portal.
Bailey posted 8.3 points and 3.4 rebounds while shooting 57% from the field last season at Indiana. After playing in a system that didn't maximize his strengths and being asked to play out of position, Bailey could have a much higher ceiling with the Johnnies.
The former three-star recruit comes from an athletic family. His father, Nathan, played basketball at Navy and Pittsburgh, while his mother, Linda, played volleyball at Pittsburgh. His siblings also competed collegiately across basketball and volleyball. Coming from Harvard, Massachusetts, Bailey wasn't heavily recruited, which ultimately led him to Davidson.
Bailey started all 97 games he played during his three seasons at Davidson. In those three seasons, Bailey was named Atlantic-10 Most Improved Player and First-Team All-Atlantic-10 after the 2024-2025 season. With this proven track record, Bailey became one of the premier transfer recruits, ranking 63rd in the portal, right behind future national champion Elliot Cadeau. Indiana ultimately landed Bailey, attracted by his combination of length, fluidity in transition, and ability to consistently threaten defenses around the paint. Within the Wildcats' offense, Bailey was used primarily as a power forward, working off the ball and serving as an off-ball screener.
Between all the high screens and low block movement, Bailey found himself open a lot, where he was fed his points. But Bailey isn't solely an off-ball player. There were plenty of instances where he received the ball at the top of the key and became the focal point of the offense, initiating the possession himself.

Bailey posted 8.3 points and 3.4 rebounds while shooting 57% from the field last season at Indiana. After playing in a system that didn't maximize his strengths and being asked to play out of position, Bailey could have a much higher ceiling with the Johnnies.
The former three-star recruit comes from an athletic family. His father, Nathan, played basketball at Navy and Pittsburgh, while his mother, Linda, played volleyball at Pittsburgh. His siblings also competed collegiately across basketball and volleyball. Coming from Harvard, Massachusetts, Bailey wasn't heavily recruited, which ultimately led him to Davidson.
Bailey started all 97 games he played during his three seasons at Davidson. In those three seasons, Bailey was named Atlantic-10 Most Improved Player and First-Team All-Atlantic-10 after the 2024-2025 season. With this proven track record, Bailey became one of the premier transfer recruits, ranking 63rd in the portal, right behind future national champion Elliot Cadeau.

Al Michaels has reached a remarkable number of milestones, and Thursday night marked his crowning achievement. And it didn't have to do with his work as a legendary play-by-play announcer.
Michaels and his wife, Linda Anne Stamato, celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on Thursday.
Thursday also brought the first Amazon Prime Video NFL broadcast of the 2026 football season, with the New England Patriots taking on the Cleveland Browns.
So, Michaels had play-by-play duties for Prime Video at Huntington Bank Field, and the Browns wished Al and Linda a happy 60th anniversary on the videoboard.
And with the second half about to start, Cleveland first-year head coach Todd Monken spoke with Prime Video sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung, who asked him about Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Unprompted, Monken used the interview as an opportunity to deliver a message to Al and Linda.

PERTH, Australia (AP) — British social media celebrity and rapper Yung Filly can return to Britain before he stands trial in Australia next year on charges of raping a fan, a judge ruled on Thursday.
The 31-year-old Columbian-born entertainer, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, was convicted by a District Court of Western Australia jury last month of ******* aulting a woman in a Perth hotel room in September 2024.
The jury acquitted him on three counts of raping her. But prosecutors said last week they would retry him on another three rape charges on which jurors could not agree.
Barrientos returned Thursday to the court, where Judge Linda Black agreed to change his bail conditions so he can return to London while he waits for his second trial.
Black said although the retrial would be expedited and likely happen in 2027, there could be a delay.

Czechia continues to have a great summer as Karolina Muchova and Jakub Mensik win the 2026 US Open mixed doubles.
Muchova earns a long-awaited Grand Slam ****** le after two previous finals singles appearances at the 2023 French Open and last month's Wimbledon final where she lost a heartbreaker to compatriot Linda Noskova.
Mensik, whose biggest win to date was defeating Novak Djokovic at the 2025 Miami Open, looked like a natural doubles star. He has not played much doubles tennis in his young career. Mensik crowded the net and played great defensive tennis while delivering his trademark big serves.

Karolina Muchova and Jakub Mensik won the US Open's unique mixed doubles tournament on Wednesday, taking home a $1 million grand prize (or $500,000 each). Which isn't bad for two days' work.
As the clock neared midnight in New York City, the Czechs defeated Belinda Bencic and Flavio Cobolli 6-3, 1-6, 10-6 in front of a crowd thinned out by the late hour. Both teams had already played a three-set semifinal earlier in the evening.
The 30-year-old Muchova and 20-year-old Mensik, who were unseeded, won the later semifinal against the Russian pairing of Mirra Andreeva and Andrey Rublev. With a turnaround of less than an hour, they pounced early, breaking Bencic's serve and coasting to a first-set win.
Bencic and Cobolli, seeded No. 4, bounced back to take the second set in lopsided fashion, but a run of four straight points in the 10-point third-set tiebreaker left the Czechs with room for error.
The big-serving Mensik closed things out with a 131-mph ace.

NEW YORK (AP) — Belinda Bencic and Flavio Cobolli advanced to the U.S. Open mixed doubles final Wednesday night by rallying to end the run of spouses Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils.
Bencic and Cobolli won 4-5 (7), 4-1 (10-5) and waited to return to the Arthur Ashe Stadium court later against the winner of the second semifinal. Karolina Muchova and Jakub Mensik faced Mirra Andreeva and Andrey Rublev in that one.
The winning team receives $1 million.
Bencic and Cobolli knocked Serena Williams and Carlos Alcaraz out of the tournament Tuesday in the quarterfinals.
Then they dropped a set for the first time in the tournament, but began to dominate midway through the second set, winning the final 11 points to force a match tiebreaker.

Serena Williams walked back onto Arthur Ashe Stadium 1,453 days after what had looked like her final US Open match. Carlos Alcaraz followed her through the tunnel carrying a comeback story of his own.
More than 10,000 people were already inside on August 25 when Williams and Alcaraz emerged in matching purple-and-black Nike kits for the US Open Mixed Doubles Championship. The public-address announcer worked through Williams' accomplishments as the applause continued building, according to The Guardian.
Then Alcaraz double-faulted on the first point. The defending US Open men's champion had not played a competitive match since suffering a right wrist injury in April and later admitted he was "really, really nervous." Williams, meanwhile, was competing at Flushing Meadows for the first time since her emotional 2022 farewell.
Their partnership produced both sides of a comeback in a matter of hours. Williams and Alcaraz beat Erin Routliffe and Lloyd Glasspool 5-3, 4-1, then returned to Ashe and lost 5-4(4), 4-1 to Belinda Bencic and Flavio Cobolli in the quarterfinals.
The first match initially looked as though Alcaraz's five-month layoff might be difficult to disguise. He opened with a double fault, was broken early and joined Williams in falling behind 1-3 before the match changed direction.

Deemed filing now forces spouses to claim both spousal and personal retirement benefits simultaneously, eliminating the ability to collect one while the other grows.
Couples can still delay the higher earner's benefit to 70 for roughly 8% annual growth, and sequence survivor benefits separately from retirement benefits.
Are you ahead, or behind on retirement? SmartAsset's free tool can match you with a financial advisor in minutes to help you answer that today. Each advisor has been carefully vetted, and must act in your best interests. Don't waste another minute; learn more here.
Picture a couple in their mid-sixties. Linda spent 35 years as a hospital administrator; Mark earned less as a school counselor. As they plan their Social Security claims, Linda remembers the move her older sister used years ago. She collected a spousal check while allowing the benefit on her own work record to grow until 70. Then she then dropped the smaller payment and switched to her larger one.

After 34 years and more than 5,500 episodes anchoring sports television's longest-running program, SportsCenter, Linda Cohn decided it was time for something different. Earlier this year, Cohn was celebrated in a daylong presentation during her return to Bristol, Connecticut. Memories, tributes and a highlight package or two were included, all with a focus on the impact and legacy Cohn left on so many over her three decades of service to the network.
In the days that followed, Cohn got right back to work. The project wasn't another network or a return to her earlier days in radio. Instead, the National Sports Media Hall of Famer launched a YouTube channel dedicated to providing content that embraced the newfound freedom she gained by leaving the halls of the worldwide leader.
"The stuff that I have strong opinions on is the stuff I haven't been allowed to say," said Cohn. "The stuff that's usually trending and hot topics are the things I tend to want to discuss the most. That's the stuff that I had the gag order on every year I was with ESPN and weren't allowed to talk about."
Twice per week, Cohn now hosts The Linda Cohn Show from her palatial estate in Los Angeles. The topics can range from sports to pop culture. The opinions are her own, written and presented from the heart. Cohn has never lost her passion for sports, but she also never had a platform to truly choose and discuss her personal feelings on subject matter at length.
That's why it made all the sense in the world for Cohn to immediately enter the digital content ******* e following her ESPN departure.

The '90s were a golden age for the modeling world and it gave us some of the biggest household names today. We still think about some of them often (like Naomi Campbell's most iconic looks from the '90s). Further, it's also hard not to wonder what many supermodels of the era look like now. You probably aren't surprised to learn that Linda Evangelista is still an absolute stunner today. Other trailblazers of the time, like Yasmeen Ghauri, are less talked about now than the likes of Campbell and Evangelista, but we still wonder about her all the same. Ghauri is of Pakistani and German descent and, during her rise to fame in the early '90s, she helped to usher in a more diverse era for the modeling industry. In fact, she was the first South Asian woman to become a Victoria's Secret Angel — a huge accomplishment at the time. More recently, Ghauri is still a knockout. She posted a photo of herself on Instagram in 2022 alongside fellow supermodel Helena Christensen.

As you can see, Ghauri is a vision. For starters, we must know who her facialist is — there isn't a single skin imperfection in sight. And, she's even joined the exclusive club of celebrities who proudly show off their gray hair. Most importantly, though, she looks totally content with her life.

If there's a habit I've picked up from watching markets, it's that when everyone is looking at the loudest trade, I start wondering what's happening in the quiet corners.
The biggest clues aren't always found in a soaring stock that's already overvalued or a famous **** yst calling for a breakout. Sometimes they're buried somewhere else that investors never bother to open. I'd put this one in the last category.
The latest 13F filing from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust shows a new $352.7 million position in The Home Depot (HD). At the same time, the trust cut its stake in Berkshire Hathaway by about $818 million.
That's not pocket change, and it's certainly not the kind of portfolio move I'd scroll past without asking why.
Why? This is big money moving from one of the market's most iconic investments into a home-improvement giant. There must be a story hiding underneath the numbers. The trust just bought the shares while everyone else seems to be waiting for the housing market to come back to life.

Caitlin Clark has been dominating over the second half of the season. In her most recent outing, a 95-91 overtime win over Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream, Clark scored 26 points and added 9 ****** ists. The Fever star is the only player in the league in the top three in both points and ****** ists per game, and former ESPN sportscaster Linda Cohn recently gave her unapologetic opinions on Caitlin Clark's MVP status.
Clark, despite being a clear candidate for the award, has been largely left out of the discussion, and Cohn makes it very apparent that the third-year star would have her vote.
"Take Caitlin Clark off the Indiana Fever, and what are they?" Cohn asked on her self-titled YouTube show.
"I'm not voting for Caitlin Clark because she's the biggest star in women's basketball, no. I'm not voting for her because she sells tickets," Cohn continued. "I'm not voting for her because millions of people tune in to watch her; she's appointment viewing. No, that's not why I would vote for her; I'm voting for her for what she does on the basketball court."
On the other hand, four-time MVP recipient and current frontrunner for the award this year is A'ja Wilson, as she leads the league in scoring and chases a career high in points per game.

The finale in the battle for the **** le! On the last matchday of the 2022/23 FLYERALARM Women's Bundesliga season, FC Bayern Women have the club's fifth German championship in their hands ahead of the meeting with 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam at the FC Bayern Campus on Sunday 28 May. The **** le showdown kicks off at 14:00 CEST. The state of play, pre-match quotes, team news – it's all in the preview.
After the 0-0 draw at Leverkusen last Saturday, Alexander Straus' side go into the final day with a two-point lead over VfL Wolfsburg. Their rivals claimed a last-minute win at SV Meppen on Sunday to prevent FCB from clinching the **** le early, but now the Munich girls can wrap up the fifth Bundesliga **** le in the club's history with a home win over Potsdam. In the event of a draw or defeat, their inferior goal difference means they'll have to hope for a slip-up by the She-Wolves in their game against SC Freiburg.

Potsdam's relegation from the Women's Bundesliga has been confirmed since Matchday 20. The Brandenburg outfit lost 3-0 to Eintracht Frankfurt last time out, their fourth straight defeat. That said, after collecting just one point in the first half of the season, there has been an improvement in the second half of the campaign from the team who are second in the all-time Women's Bundesliga standings. Sunday's match at the Campus will be Turbine's last in the German top flight for now after 29 successful years.
Bayern won 3-0 in the reverse fixture in Potsdam thanks to goals from Georgia Stanway, Lina Magull and Linda Dallmann. FCB have been by far the better team in the recent history of the fixture and are unbeaten in 12 games against Turbine (W9 D3). However, the all-time record is virtually even, with 21 wins for Munich, 22 for Potsdam and seven draws in their 50 meetings.
