Any sports lover would know "trash talk" is pretty much part of the game. In fact, some believe one has to master the art so as to add intensity and rivalry to the game. As Team USA continues its 2026 FIBA World Cup campaign in Berlin, Germany, they have already found their "trash-talking queen" in the squad.
Fans are already loving the fun little content they get to watch every day while Team USA tries to defend their ***** le at the FIBA World Cup. These moments show a very different camaraderie among the players than what fans are used to seeing when these same players represent their respective WNBA sides.
While filming fun media content for the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, Team USA was asked who the "biggest trash talker" on their squad is. Unironically, many fingers pointed to one individual: Angel Reese.
Reese was overwhelmingly voted number one by her teammates for her constant in-game chatter, including Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young, Aliyah Boston, and Paige Bueckers.
If fans can recall, Reese made headlines after the 2023 NCAA Championship game when she taunted Clark by pointing to her ring finger as the LSU Tigers closed in on the championship. Reese, who rarely stays silent on court, has made a reputation for trash-talking her rivals.

On a balmy July evening in New York City, I was lucky enough to be wandering around Greenwich Village with a coffee in hand, down a narrow street to the Minetta Lane (now Audible) Theatre to see Gloria Steinem speak.
Those two shows on July 14 and 16 turned out to be her last major public event appearances before her passing on Sept. 2. She spoke on a range of topics, and the program will soon be released as an Audible Original on Sept. 17. Steinem recounted her early career in journalism and was asked about her ex-lovers, but what I walked away with was her enduring messages on the importance of being understood, community and togetherness. "We acquire a certain group of people who understand us and that's what keeps us going," she imparted.

Coco Gauff is back on the tennis court for the 2026 US Open. On September 5, she'll play in the third round of the tournament. The young athlete is just 22 years old, but she already has US Open and French Open ***** les under her belt. In her most recent Grand Slam appearance, she made the semifinals of Wimbledon earlier this summer.
While Gauff keeps her personal life very separate from her tennis career, there's been a great interest in her love life amid her rise to the top of the tennis rankings. Below, we rounded up everything we know.
In 2023, Gauff started dating Jalen Sera. "This is my first real relationship," she admitted in a 2024 Time interview. "To just have someone to talk to who is not involved in tennis at all gives me a fresh perspective."
However, Gauff's August social media activity has sparked speculation that she and Sera may have broken up. She reposted a TikTok video that said, "I am a lover with or without a lover. because love is who i am not who i'm with," and another that said, "How do you expect new beginnings if you don't create ***** e for them. end cycles let people go, let go of an old mindset, create ***** e."

The global energy market has been upended by the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East, with reduced supply driving up oil and natural gas prices. However, companies like Chevron (NYSE: CVX), while benefiting from today's high energy prices, think in decades, not days, weeks, or months. In fact, volatility is the norm for the energy sector. Management's long-term approach is why Chevron is actively looking to invest in the conflict-torn Middle East. But what does this really mean for dividend investors?
There are many reasons to like Chevron as an investment. For example, it is large and geographically diverse, with exposure to the entire energy value chain. But one of the biggest is the company's consistency, which is highlighted by a 38-year streak of annual dividend increases. Add in a well-above market 3.5% yield, and the story gets even better for dividend lovers seeking to add some energy exposure to their portfolios.
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 »
Chevron's willingness to look beyond the conflict that is raging today is part of the story, too. In fact, it is planning to invest in Iraq and hopes to help build a pipeline that will allow energy companies to avoid traversing the Strait of Hormuz. Both could help the company maintain its impressive dividend growth streak, but they aren't the real dividend growth story investors need to be watching.
The real dividend growth story is Chevron's ability to think and act with a long-term mindset. The Iraq investment and pipeline are merely examples of decisions that allow the company to keep increasing its dividend. But what enables such decisions in the first place is the company's financial strength, as highlighted by its impressive balance sheet. At the end of the second quarter of 2026, its debt-to-equity ratio was 0.2x, second only to ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) in its peer group.

On August 5, Cirrus Logic (NASDAQ:CRUS) reported record first-quarter revenue of $459.7 million, up 13% year over year, alongside non-GAAP earnings per share of $1.84, a June quarter record for the company. Smartphone component demand carried the print, and executives struck a confident tone about content growth across cameras, batteries and power circuits. But that optimism sat next to a quieter admission: the company's PC segment outlook for fiscal 2027 just got smaller, and the reasons behind that cut matter for anyone weighing this stock's next chapter.
High-performance mixed-signal revenue climbed 26% year over year to $210.7 million, as Cirrus Logic expanded its footprint across camera, battery, and power applications inside smartphones. CEO John Forsyth pointed to a multi-generation collaboration with the company's largest customer on camera controllers, plus continued work on a Smart Power IC for 3D sensing that stayed on schedule through the quarter. Audio, the company's flagship business, still grew 3.7% to $249.0 million on demand for custom boosted amplifiers and smart codecs, and Forsyth said those parts should keep shipping across multiple future product generations.
The company is also pushing past smartphones. During the quarter, Cirrus Logic taped out a new family of ******* og front-end components aimed at smart meters, with sampling expected in the September quarter and potential spillover into EV charging, data center metrology and grid monitoring. On the PC side, a new low-power smart codec built for always-on wake word detection drew strong customer interest, and products using Nvidia's RTX Spark platform are expected to ship later in 2026 carrying Cirrus Logic amplifiers and codecs. A fresh wafer supply agreement with GlobalFoundries locks in capacity and pricing through calendar 2028 and advances a shift toward domestic manufacturing in Malta, New York. Underneath it all sits $1.2 billion in cash and investments, no debt, and $598.6 million in trailing 12-month operating cash flow, funding $34.5 million in share buybacks during the quarter and another $50.5 million afterward.
The company trimmed its fiscal 2027 PC segment outlook, and Forsyth laid out three specific culprits: constrained supply of a key industry platform, memory and component shortages pressuring pricing across the PC market, and OEMs responding by delaying new model launches and stretching the life of older platforms. Those delayed models typically carry higher content and higher volume for Cirrus Logic, so Forsyth said the slippage "pushes out some of the growth we would otherwise have seen in our PC business this year."

Model Emily Ratajkowski is taking fashion lovers back in time with a spectacular archival cover shoot. Starring on the cover of EE72 magazine's Fall 2026 issue, the supermodel embraced full '90s nostalgia. Styled by chief creative officer Edward Enninful, Emily wore legendary runway pieces straight from Vivienne Westwood's iconic Fall/Winter 1993 collection. Photographed by Craig McDean, her daring tartan ensemble proved that true vintage fashion never goes out of style.
For the dramatic "Made in the 90s" cover story, Emily stepped into a museum-worthy plaid creation. The colorful tartan micro minidress featured a dangerously high hemline that showcased her long legs. The outfit combined rich red, green, and blue tartan fabrics. It was artfully layered with a fuzzy wool wrap, a fitted waist belt, and pleated side panels. Across her hips, she wore a traditional fur-trimmed sporran bag hanging from a delicate silver chain.
Stylist Edward Enninful carefully curated every detail to match Westwood's famous punk-meets-royalty aesthetic. On her head, Emily wore a matching tartan beret topped with a dramatic sweeping feather. Down below, she wore bright, colorful argyle socks pulled up her calves. She paired the socks with sky-high black lace-up platform heels. In behind-the-scenes video footage, Enninful admired the rare footwear and hat, calling the entire look a true museum piece.
During the photoshoot, Emily posed against a bold red studio backdrop while photographer Craig McDean directed her movements. He guided her to place her hands firmly on her hips and turn into a dramatic side profile. Emily worked the camera effortlessly, bringing moody, smoldering energy to every frame.
Meanwhile, her beauty team created a quintessential '90s grunge-glam look. Hairstylist Karim Belghiran gave her textured, messy waves with long fringe bangs. Makeup artist ***** Page finished the look with intense plum-smoky eyeshadow, sharp eyeliner, and a nude lip. Ultimately, Emily Ratajkowski brought a legendary fashion moment back to life with unmatchable supermodel poise.

On August 5, Clover Health Investments Corp. (NASDAQ:CLOV) reported second-quarter 2026 results that turned a year-ago loss into real profit. GAAP net income came in at $28 million, a $39 million swing from the $10.6 million loss posted in the same quarter last year. Medicare Advantage membership climbed to 157,309, up 48% year over year, and the company raised its full-year guidance across every major line item. For a stock that has spent years chasing profitability, this quarter reads like a turning point.
The headline number is the $28 million in GAAP net income for the quarter, but the six-month picture tells the same story with more weight behind it: $55.3 million in net income through the first half of 2026, compared to an $11.9 million loss over the same stretch last year. Revenue reached $743.2 million in the quarter, up 55.6% year over year, and consolidated gross profit rose 53.6% to $153.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled, jumping 139.2% to $40.9 million from $17.1 million a year earlier, which means profitability is scaling faster than revenue itself.
Clover backed those numbers by raising its 2026 outlook on every front. Full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance moved up to $70 million to $85 million from a prior range of $50 million to $70 million, and GAAP net income guidance rose to $20 million to $35 million from $0 million to $20 million. The company also closed the quarter with $443.0 million in cash and investments, up 13.8% year over year, giving it room to keep funding growth. CEO Andrew Toy pointed to the Clover ***** istant platform reaching more physicians and members as the engine behind "better health outcomes" alongside the growth, while Interim CFO Clay Thornton tied the improving cohort economics to the company retaining more of that value under its full-risk model heading into 2027.
The same filing shows that scaling a Medicare Advantage insurer is not cheap. Insurance net medical claims incurred rose 56.1% year over year to $615.4 million, tracking almost in step with revenue growth. The insurance benefits expense ratio, which measures how much of premium revenue goes toward paying medical claims, sat at 87.6% for the quarter, only 80 basis points better than a year ago, and the six-month figure improved by just 20 basis points. That means the cost of caring for members has barely budged as a share of revenue, even as the top line surged.
Spending on overhead grew too. Salaries, benefits, and general and administrative expenses rose 13.3% year over year to $124.4 million, while the adjusted version of that same cost line jumped 35.9% to $112.1 million. And even after the guidance raise, projected full-year GAAP net income of $20 million to $35 million is modest against total revenue guidance of $2.92 billion to $3.00 billion, a thin margin for a business still proving it can convert scale into durable profit.

From Atalanta to Roma, from the transfer market to Scudetto dreams, passing through Dybala, Malen, Mora, and the Champions League.
Gian Piero Gasperini opens up about his career in a long interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, on the eve of the match against his past. An inevitably special reunion: "We parted ways with Atalanta at the right time. Tomorrow will be like a lover reuniting with his ex, but Roma has given me new goals. I'm happy here."
Gasperini has also been captivated by the capital: "The most beautiful thing I've seen is the Sistine Chapel, but the tomb of St. Peter also moved me."
Meanwhile, he's enjoying a team that started strong and an atmosphere that has started to dream again.
Cristante and Pellegrini have spoken openly about the Scudetto and the Circus Maximus, but the coach has no intention of dampening their enthusiasm: "You can never stifle dreams. The important thing is knowing that, when the alarm goes off, reality is something else. Then, if you live reality the right way, you can also make it match your dreams."

Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below.
Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) could become a weak link in the AI boom if OpenAI runs into trouble, according to Council on Foreign Relations senior fellow Sebastian Mallaby.
"If OpenAI runs into trouble, I think we can say that there's a good chance that Oracle may also run into trouble," Mallaby said on CFR's The Spillover podcast, pointing to Oracle's heavier debt load and dependence on OpenAI.
The warning comes as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says he is seeing signs of "unsustainable silliness" in the wider compute buildout.
Mallaby said Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta entered the AI boom with stronger balance sheets and more room to fund expansion internally. Oracle, by contrast, has relied much more heavily on borrowing to finance its data-center buildout.

Golf legend Tiger Woods has pleaded guilty to reckless driving following his March rollover crash and received a five-year driving suspension. He was also fined between $1,000 and $1,500.
According to Yahoo News, Woods initially pleaded not guilty to the charge of driving under the influence. The incident made headlines, given Woods' history of vehicle-related accidents. He was arrested immediately after the rollover crash in Jupiter Island, the Florida town where the golfer lives.
Motorbiscuit reported in March that Woods faced multiple non-felony charges, including driving under the influence, property damage, and refusing to submit to a lawful test. The incident occurred after 2:00 p.m. when Woods was traveling at a "high speed" in a designated 30-mph zone while attempting to overtake a truck hauling a pressure-washing trailer.
The truck driver reportedly saw Woods' Land Rover closing in quickly and tried to move toward the edge of the road to give the SUV more room. However, the maneuver was not enough to prevent a collision, with Woods' vehicle striking the trailer before rolling onto its driver's side and sliding along the pavement for a considerable distance.

Tiger Woods has agreed not to contest a reckless driving charge as part of a deal with prosecutors, reducing the original charge of driving under the influence from a rollover crash in Florida.
The golfer accepted a five-year suspension of his driving licence and a $1,000 (£742) fine, as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors in Martin County, Florida.
Woods was arrested after the March crash, and had passed a breathalyser test but declined further testing for other drugs.
He pleaded not guilty the same month to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence and refusal to submit to testing. Woods, 50, said he was seeking treatment after the incident.

STUART, Florida (AP) — Tiger Woods entered a plea agreement Wednesday to a reckless driving charge following a rollover crash in March near his home in Florida.
The golf legend previously pleaded not guilty to a driving under the influence charge. Woods was arrested after his SUV clipped a truck and rolled over on its side on a beachside residential road on Jupiter Island. A sheriff's report said deputies found two pain pills in his pocket and he showed signs of impairment. He did a Breathalyzer test, which came out negative, but refused to take a urine test.
Woods, 50, appeared in a courtroom in Martin County, just north of Palm Beach County.
Neither Woods nor the person in the other vehicle were injured in the crash, according to officials. But his Land Rover caused $5,000 in damage to the truck, according to a police report. Woods had told a deputy that he was looking down at his phone and changing the radio station when he hit the truck.
Woods is among the most influential figures in golf, but his career has been derailed by multiple back and knee surgeries, car crashes and dependence on pain medication.

Tiger Woods plans to change his not guilty plea in the DUI case stemming from a rollover crash near his Florida home earlier this year, according to court documents filed on Tuesday.
The 50-year-old golf star is due to appear in Martin County circuit court at 8.30am on Wednesday for a change-of-plea hearing before judge Darren Steele. Woods had previously pleaded not guilty to charges of driving under the influence with property damage and refusing to submit to a lawful test.
The filing did not disclose what plea Woods intends to enter or provide further details about the expected change.

The charges stem from a 27 March crash in Hobe Sound, near Woods's residence on Jupiter Island. Martin County sheriff John Budensiek said Woods was driving a Land Rover that overturned after he attempted to overtake a truck on a narrow two-lane road shortly before 2pm.

Dolly Parton's legacy of kindness and giving is being celebrated in many ways around the world following her death. One new fundraiser is putting her spirit of generosity front and center for dog lovers, providing much-needed meals for shelter dogs.
iHeartDogs, a company dedicated to helping dogs around the world, is selling a line of pink Dolly-inspired T-shirts. Each shirt purchased from the Do Good Like Dolly Collection provides 10 meals for shelter dogs, with 100% of the remaining proceeds going to The Dollywood Foundation.
5 of the 8 shirts in the collection feature the names of two of Dolly Parton's most well-known songs: "I Will Always Love You" and "A Coat of Many Colors." The other 3 shirts honor the late country music icon with the campaign slogan "Do Good Like Dolly."
The campaign celebrates Dolly's endless spirit of giving by saying, "Dolly Parton filled the world with kindness, sparkle, and a whole lot of heart. Her love for others—and her love of dogs—made the world a brighter place." The shirts range in price from $15.99 to $21.99, and can be purchased through the iheartdogs.com website.
Dolly's love for animals wasn't just something that showed up in the occasional photo or song. In 2022, she launched Doggy Parton, a line of dog apparel, toys, and accessories inspired by her signature style. A portion of the proceeds benefited Willa B. Farms, a Nashville-based animal rescue organization.

A direct trustee-to-trustee rollover moves a pension lump sum like $812,000 into a traditional IRA with zero withholding and no current tax.
An indirect rollover triggers mandatory 20% federal withholding, and you must replace the withheld cash within 60 days or owe taxes and penalties.
SECURE 2.0 pushes the RMD start age to 73 or 75 depending on birth year, eventually forcing taxable withdrawals from the rolled-over balance.

If your employer just dropped pension buyout paperwork on your desk and asked whether you want a monthly check for life or a one-time lump sum, there is a detail buried in the tax code that most retirees trip over right at the finish line. You can move the entire lump sum into a traditional IRA through a direct rollover, and the IRS will not collect a dime until you start taking money out. But mess up the execution, and the same move can trigger automatic withholding and a tax bill you never should have seen in the first place.

Tonight's White Sox starter, Luis Castillo, was pretty darn good until he wasn't. From 2019-2025, an ERA of 3.48 and a bWAR of 21.7. This year, something's gone off, I dunno what it is; his fastball's ticked down a notch or two, maybe that's it. Happens to all of us eventually. He throws it at around 95 now, with a slider/sinker/change. The slider's effective when it's working.
If you're like me, you think "wait, didn't Luis Castillo play for the Twins for awhile?" Yes, he did — that was a DIFFERENT Luis Castillo. The Twins one was a middle infielder and former All-Star/Gold Glover who was with the Twins in 2006/part of 2007. Mid-2007, the Twins traded him to the Metropolitans for Sweet Drew Butera. That experience was so groovy, the Twins later traded Johan Santana to the Mets for gold, frankincense, and myrrh. I don't know what myrrh is and neither do you. Here is the Twins' Luis Castillo:
So, we went to our first Twins game in a few years last week. It was four of us – Mrs. James had been given four free tickets by a season-ticket holder who was gonna be out of town (taking a kid to college). We asked two semi-retired friends if they wanted to come, and they said "sure."
One of those friends has trouble walking long distances, as Mrs. James does. So I asked here if anyone had some suggestions for a parking ramp that was convenient for people with mobility challenges. gintzer provided helpful information, and the parking situation worked out well, ***** ody had to walk too far. Thanks, gintzer!
After the game, we got in the wrong exit line, and were stuck there for awhile. But, not the end of the world. Our car can go into electric mode for situations like that, so we weren't burning gas. We listened to the radio, made jokes about the other cars/drivers, chatted about events in our lives, etc. Just what you'd want with your favorite friends.

When you leave an employer, rolling your 401(k) into an IRA might seem like the obvious next step for many retirees. But a recent CFP Board guide on fiduciary duty in rollovers warns that rollovers might not be required and could be irreversible.
Cerulli **** ociates estimates about $941 billion will move from 401(k) plans into IRAs this year, with annual rollover flows projected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2031.
More than 11,000 Americans are turning 65 each day in 2026, according to the Alliance for Lifetime Income, and IRAs already hold approximately $18.2 trillion as of the first quarter of 2026, the Investment Company Institute reports.
The money is moving, and for retirees who don't fully understand the trade-offs, it may be moving in a direction they can't predict.
In most cases, "you can't go back to whence you came," Brenton Harrison, a certified financial planner based in Nashville, told CNBC. Once funds land in an IRA, the original employer plan will typically refuse to accept them.

Rich Rowland, a catcher who played six seasons in MLB with the Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox, has died according to an Instagram post by his son, Robbie.
"RIP Pops," read the text overlay on Robbie Rowland's post. "Pops, my hero man. My best friend & my role model.. Thank you. Words simply cannot express.. and if they could I wouldn't know which ones to use..I just feel so dang blessed to have had the best frickin dad a kid could ask for! I love you, pops."
Rowland played 98 games at the major-league level for Detroit (1990-93) and Boston (1994-95). He retired with a career batting average of .213 and nine home runs — all of which he hit in 1994, when he appeared in 46 games for the Red Sox.

A native of Cloverdale, California, Rowland was drafted by the Tigers in the 17th round of the 1988 MLB Draft out of Mendocino College, a junior college north of San Francisco. He rose quickly up the minor league ladder, advancing from Double-A to Triple-A to the majors in 1990 alone.

As the Most Magical Place on Earth, Walt Disney World continues to bring in Disney lovers from all around the globe. This includes plenty of celebrities. Even Sydney Sweeney has rocked the Mickey ears. You never know who you might run into at Disney, and sometimes you might even stumble upon stars from Full House. Jodie Sweetin recalled how she and John Stamos once got people's attention by hollering "have mercy," and it's everything.
Sweetin recently appeared on Josh Peck and Ben Soffer's Good Guys Podcast, where she reflected on her life and career, including (of course) Full House. She recalled attending Nostalgia Con in Orlando one year with a chunk of her former co-stars, and the trip wasn't complete without Disney World. The Saturday night of the convention, she, Stamos, and a few other cast mates went to the Magic Kingdom with some security and guides in tow. Since it was at night, they were much harder to recognize. However, Stamos had a perfect solution to the problem:
It was funny because we were walking around and it was nighttime. At night, people aren't quite paying attention. But the guides give you away. They see two guides walking, and they're like, 'Who's…? Oh my God.' John would get recognized, but it had kind of a lull in it where he was like, 'We gotta get recognized more. We gotta warn all the security…' So we'd be jokingly walking, and he'd be like, 'Have mercy!' And I'd be like, 'How rude!' It was ridiculous.

I wanted to play the most bizarre, larger than life roles just like him. When I applied to AMDA, I had to write a paper about the performer who inspired me most, I chose Tim Curry. RIP to an absolute legend." Several others, including MMA veteran and actress Gina Carano, Nyla Rose, Frankie Kazarian, and others, also paid their tributes.

Since his DUI arrest in March, golf legend Tiger Woods has largely remained out of the public spotlight. He was involved in a rollover crash in South Florida while allegedly driving under the influence, with opioid tablets in his pocket after the crash.
Woods went to rehab in Switzerland following his arrest, before returning in May.
The 50-year-old Woods has rarely been seen since returning to the United States, but this week he made an appearance in a pre-recorded video for former pro golfer Notah Begay during the Payne Stewart Award ceremony.
Once the video surfaced online thanks to the Golf Channel, some fans expressed concern about his appearance, while others were happy to see the icon back in the spotlight. One user wrote, "Tiger looks a shell of his former self sadly," while another, "He looks normal. Off the steroids and painkillers hopefully."
