A royal expert has reportedly slammed Prince Harry as a "hitman" and expressed serious reservations about whether he would reconcile with Prince William. For those unversed, Harry and Meghan flew privately from California to Birmingham on August 26. The Sussexes will reportedly stay in the UK for an extended period of time. Multiple reports hinted that they are doing this to get close to the royal family. However, King Charles clarified via an official statement that the Sussexes will remain private individuals.
Royal author Andrew Morton alleged that Prince Harry has broken the royal family's trust. Not only that, he shared that Harry's chances of a reconciliation with Prince William are slim. The author dished to the Daily Express: "I've always argued that William saw, and so did Diana; they saw Harry as his wingman, and now he's turned into a hitman. And that's something which struck me very forcibly."
Morton explained that William is the future heir to the throne, the future king. Meanwhile, Harry is meant to show him support, and everybody in the royal family was counting on that. Unfortunately, the brothers' bond is so strained now that, according to multiple sources, there is no contact.
Furthermore, on the podcast Heirs & Spares, host Kinsey Schofield and Rupert Bell discussed Morton's comment and the impact Harry's seemingly careless behavior had on the royal family. Schofield asked whether the Duke of Sussex realizes how "harmful and hurtful" this is. Bell agreed, saying that William was probably counting on his younger brother's support when he becomes king.
Bell criticized the Sussexes, stating that they are power-hungry and will not support the Waleses when need be. Interestingly, in a new development, Lord Chamberlain issued a letter on King Charles' behalf, clarifying that the Sussexes will not be working royals.

The New England Patriots announced on Monday that they have put punter Bryce Baringer and rookie linebacker Khalil Jacobs on injured reserve.
That explains the team's decision to sign veteran punter Mitch Wishnowsky to the practice squad. By going on IR, both Baringer and Jacobs will have to miss at least four games before having a shot at returning.
Jacobs, an undrafted rookie out of Missouri, was one of the training camp standouts at a position that lacked depth. He flashed as an immediate contributor for the Patriots and earned a spot on the initial 53-man roster. When it comes to finding and developing young talent, the Patriots might look back on this one as a steal if Jacobs can get healthy and continue his upward trajectory.
As for Baringer, he looked great during the preseason. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury in the team's Week 2 preseason matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, and the team was forced to turn to backup quarterback Behren Morton to punt.
They signed Matt Haack to close out the preseason against the Cleveland Browns. Now, they'll likely move forward with Wishnowsky for the Week 1 Super Bowl rematch against the Seattle Seahawks.

The New England Patriots were quite busy over the weekend, making 42 combined transactions to go from previously 91 to 53 players on their active roster. A majority of those moves were expected to happen, but the team of head coach Mike Vrabel nonetheless managed to pull off some minor surprises.
With that in mind, let's take a look at the moves that can be qualified as surprises through the lens of our established winners and losers format. It would be easy to label the 53 men on the active roster as winners and the rest as losers, but every situation is different and the reality much more nuanced than simply asking who is in or out.
QB Behren Morton: With Drake Maye a franchise-caliber player and Tommy DeVito an able and experienced backup, the top of the Patriots' quarterback depth chart was set in stone throughout the summer. The question was whether or not Morton had done enough to warrant being kept as one of the 53 players on the roster. Turns out he had. Despite some shortcomings elsewhere on the team, he made it through cutdown day as QB3 and the projected emergency option on game day.
OT Dametrious Crownover: Shortly before the cutdown deadline at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, the Patriots made a trade with the Vikings to bring in versatile offensive lineman Walter Rouse, a player capable of lining up at both tackle and guard. And yet, despite his presence, the team decided to keep four pure tackles on the initial 53. Three of those — Will Campbell, Morgan Moses, Caleb Lomu — were set in stone to begin with, but Crownover's position seemed less secure with Rouse in the mix. However, he seemingly had nothing to worry about and done enough over the summer to secure a roster spot in lieu of nominal OT4 Marcus Bryant.
ED Quintayvious Hutchins: The defensive edge had been in the spotlight going back to the offseason, and it remains a question at this point as well. Through the cutdown deadline, however, the Patriots opted to go with four players, Hutchins among them. His inclusion over fellow edges Bradyn Swinson and Jesse Luketa might have come surprisingly, but the seventh-round draft pick has developed nicely over the summer to make the pair expendable.

The New England Patriots had punter Jamie Gillan in for a tryout, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss, as the team looks to add depth following the injury to Bryce Baringer in Week 2 of the preseason.
Baringer was not feeling well after his first two punts in the Patriots' 24-21 win over the Philadelphia Eagles last Saturday. The Patriots signed veteran punter Matt Haack to spell for Baringer while the latter recovers.
Gillan has played seven seasons in the NFL. He began his career playing for the Cleveland Browns from 2019-21, before playing for the New York Giants from 2022-25. Gillan played in 16 games for the Giants last season and recorded 2,088 net yards on punts on the year.
The Patriots do not have a backup punter behind Haack with Baringer out. Patriots rookie quarterback Behren Morton handled punting duties in place of Baringer after the latter left the game against the Eagles. However, Gillan is now in consideration to be signed by New England with the 2026 season just under two weeks away from beginning.

Alexis Morton gave Collinsville almost nothing to work with Tuesday night.
When the Lady Cardinals did manage to put something together, Claremore made sure it went nowhere.
Morton scattered 3 hits across 6 2/3 scoreless innings, while the Lady Zebras broke the game open with a 4-run third inning en route to a 7-0 victory in their District 5A-4 opener.
Claremore improved to 6-7 overall and 1-0 in district play, while Collinsville dropped to 4-6 and 0-2.
Morton struck out 5, walked none and allowed only one Collinsville runner to reach third base through the first five innings.

As entertaining as Halle Berry is to watch on screen, her social media presence has also proven to be incredibly delightful in recent years. The Oscar winner seems to enjoy sharing sweet, little tidbits of her personal life with her fans, and I'm here for it. Berry has been particularly active online over the past month due to the John Wick alum celebrating her 60th birthday. She's already posted about that major life milestone and, now, she's marking the occasion one more time. And a little black dress was involved.
Berry has evidently been living it up throughout her entire birthday month, and she most recently shared an update to Instagram. The actress' post is filled with photos and videos that chronicle her birthday festivities, which took place at a resort in Los Cabos, Mexico. Also present in some of the clips and snapshots is Van Hunt, Berry's fiancé. Take a look at the post below, which sees Berry dancing, singing and frolicking while wearing that LBD:
Few people can sport a little, black dress the way Halle Berry can, and I'd argue that the A-lister can make just about any fit look good. Aside from that, though, I can't help but smile at the sight of her soaking up everything that 60 has to offer thus far. She may have hit the big 6-0 on August 14th, but she makes it clear in the caption of this latest post that she's been celebrating for a while. The sentiments, as a whole, are incredibly sweet and read as follows:

The Patriots are set to add a new punter to the roster in the near future.
Bryce Baringer left Saturday's preseason game against the Eagles after punting twice and the team had to use backup quarterback Behren Morton as their punter for the rest of the game.
Head coach Mike Vrabel said after the game that Baringer wasn't feeling great as an explanation for the change. Vrabel did not go into details about the nature of the issue at a Monday press conference, but said "it's serious enough" that the team will likely be signing a punter.
Baringer has been New England's punter for the last three seasons. He has a net average of 41 yards per kick over his career.

Patriots Uncover Encouraging Offensive Formula Without Drake Maye originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Drake Maye did not take a snap Saturday night, but the New England Patriots still found a way to create explosive plays through the air. That might have been the most encouraging offensive development from their 24-21 preseason victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Tommy DeVito and Behren Morton each threw a long touchdown to a young receiver. The two scoring plays covered a combined 106 yards and showed that New England's reserve offense does not have to rely entirely on short throws and methodical drives.
The Patriots' postgame press conferences offered additional insight into how those plays developed.
For a team evaluating its depth behind Maye and a veteran-heavy receiving group, the answers were promising.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – It was an entertaining preseason matchup between the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles, even without the starters playing.
There was some thought that star quarterback Drake Maye might play for one drive, but instead, it was Tommy DeVito and Behren Morton who each got a half. But what certainly caught everyone's eye was when a surprising player slotted in at punter.
Here are the takeaways from the Patriots' 24-21 preseason win over the Eagles:
On the opening kickoff, there was a very scary moment as Eagles running back Ja'Quinden Jackson remained down on the field following the play. His teammates immediately signaled for the training staff to come over, and they stayed with him before others came out, as well as the ambulance. Players from both teams were down on one knee, showing their support. He was put on a stretcher, and the entire Eagles sideline came over and gathered around him as he was loaded into the ambulance.
Philadelphia released an update shortly after, saying that he has "strength and movement in all extremities and is being taken to a local hospital for further evaluation."

Patriots Rookie QB Reveals Story Behind Surprise Punting Role originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Behren Morton entered Saturday night hoping to show the New England Patriots what he could do at quarterback. He ended up auditioning at two positions.
Morton replaced Tommy DeVito behind center in the second half of New England's 24-21 preseason victory over the Philadelphia Eagles at Gillette Stadium. The rookie also unexpectedly took over as the Patriots' punter after Bryce Baringer began feeling unwell.
Morton handled both jobs remarkably well.
The seventh-round pick completed 13 of 17 passes for 129 yards and a touchdown. He also punted three times for 133 yards, averaging 44.3 yards per attempt with a long of 48. It was the type of stat line rarely seen from an NFL quarterback, even during the unpredictable preseason.

The New England Patriots won on the arm and foot of Behren Morton.
In Saturday's Week 2 preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the rookie backup served as the quarterback and punter at times. Morton got off three punts for an average of 44.3 yards, along with leading the offense on a game-winning touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter.
It was an all-around impressive showing from the seventh-round draft pick out of Texas Tech.
On the final offensive drive, Morton connected on a 37-yard touchdown pass to Nick DeGennaro to put the Patriots back in the lead. Rookie edge rusher Quintayvious Hutchins finished off the job by stip sacking Eagles quarterback Cole Payton for the 24-21 win.
Morton finished the game completing 13-of-17 passes for 129 yards and one touchdown. Tommy DeVito went 8-for-15 passing for 151 yards and one touchdown.

When it comes to the 2026-27 Kentucky Basketball roster, we pretty much know who the heavy-hitters are.
Milan Momcilovic will challenge to be the sport's best 3-point shooter yet again, while other names like Malachi Moreno, Zoom Diallo, Alex Wilkins, and Kam Williams (if healthy) also have the potential to make a major impact next season.
So, we want you to tell us who the most pleasant surprise will be, namely among players with uncertain roles who could struggle to earn minutes.
Freshman guard Mason Williams has been the talk of the summer, despite not even being a top-100 recruit in the class of 2026.
Washington State transfer guard Jerone Morton finished the summer as Kentucky's leaderboard winner and could provide valuable minutes at both the point and shooting guard spots.

The New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts tied 13-apiece in their Week 1 preseason matchup on Thursday.
There were highlights and lowlights on the offensive side of the ball for the Patriots. Keep in mind that none of the starters played in the game. As a result, the offensive unit was led at different points by backup quarterbacks Tommy DeVito and Behren Morton.
The unit itself accumulated 275 total yards on 69 plays, including 192 passing yards. The ground game wasn't as much of a factor as the Patriots probably would have hoped.
Wideout Kyle Williams scored the only touchdown for New England by hauling in a reception on a 12-yard pass from DeVito. Beyond that, the Patriots were only able to scrape by with a couple of field goals off the foot of Andy Borregales, who also had three misses on the night.
The Patriots led the time of possession well with a 32:07-27:53 advantage over the Colts. Yet, despite extra time and more possessions, the Patriots were not able to get anything going consistently on offense. That led to a stalemate with the visiting Colts at Gillette Stadium.

Torquay United manager Jimmy Ball says his side "won a fight" as they scored late on to win 2-1 at Tonbridge Angels.
Matt Jay's 83rd-minute winner secured the Gulls' first National League South victory of the season after last week's 1-1 draw at home to Horsham.
Torquay debutant Kian Jenkins scored direct from a 17th-minute corner to give Ball's side the lead.
Callum Morton hit the post with a long-range effort early in the second half that almost made it 2-0, but the hosts struck back midway through the period thanks to Ethan Sutcliffe's close-range strike.
But Jay was on hand to get the winner as substitute Sean Robertson played in the former Exeter City forward to score from 10 yards.

With the New England Patriots' first preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts coming up on Thursday, Aug. 13, here's a look at who The Providence Journal thinks will make the 53-man roster.
This projection is based on what we have seen firsthand at training camp over the last two weeks.
In: Drake Maye, Tommy DeVito and Behren Morton
Out: None
No surprises here. The three quarterbacks on the roster heading into training camp should be the three on the 53-man roster in September.

King Charles and Queen Camilla have regularly appeared to be the perfect couple, and that even extends to the fact that the pair have sweet pet names for one another.
However, while many of us might be content with calling our significant other names like 'darling', 'sweetie' or a shortened version of their own name, the monarch and his love have more unique monikers.
Since the early days of their courtship, Charles has called Camilla 'Gladys', while Camilla has called her husband 'Fred'. The names are believed to have derived from The Goon Show, a radio show broadcast on the BBC that ran between 1951 and 1960.
Fred is a character who in the show manages to disappear right from underneath his mother's nose, while Gladys was known for her constantly changing voice and for responding to many questions by saying: "Yes, darling!"
Princess Diana previously said that Charles had previously purchased Camilla a bracelet with the initials of the characters entwined within it. Speaking to biographer Andrew Morton, she claimed: "I walked into this man's office one day and I said, 'Ooh, what's in that parcel?' And he said 'Oh, you shouldn't look at that.

After eight weeks of practice, Kentucky Basketball had a tight battle on the winners board going into the last summer practice, and he invited Kentucky fans to attend at Rupp Arena on Thursday morning.
The winners board, which tracks players' wins across drills and scrimmages, has a tie for first between Malachi Moreno and Jerone Morton at 55 wins. Zoom Diallo and Milan Momcilovic are within striking distance with 53 and 52 wins.
To raise the stakes and to give the players the opportunity, Mark Pope moved the final practice from the Joe Craft Center to Rupp Arena. That is something he has done consistently in his time in Lexington. Something he hasn't done, though, is give fans a firsthand look at practice.
On Thursday morning, Pope issued an impromptu invite to practice with an Instagram Live.
"If you want to come here and it just be you, by yourself, with the team, and feel what the last day of summer workouts is, come on. Knock on the door, and I'll let you in."

The last remaining Denver Broncos unrestricted free agent has found a new NFL home.
Five months after initially hitting free agency in March, veteran center Sam Mustipher has signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to the NFL's transaction wire. Jacksonville will mark the 29-year-old lineman's sixth NFL club.
Mustipher was called on late in the 2025 season and again in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs after the Broncos had multiple injuries at the position. Luke Wattenberg is currently nursing an injury, but he's set to start in 2026 with Alex Forsyth, Michael Deiter, Gavin Ortega and Calvin Throckmorton providing depth behind him this summer.
With Mustipher back on an NFL roster, only Denver's six ex-practice squad players whose contracts expired in March remain street free agents.

Samantha Morton has opened up about her turbulent, traumatic childhood.
The Odyssey star described some of the hardships ***** ociated with growing up in "foster families, homeless hostels".
Samantha, who plays Circe in Christopher Nolan's blockbuster epic, explained she had had no choice but to become "resilient" after her parents, who suffered from mental health and addiction problems, struggled to support her and her seven siblings.
"Someone told me I was resilient when I was younger," the actress, 49, told The Sunday Times. "But sometimes you've got no choice other than to be resilient because if you are not you're dead."
The BAFTA winner said she had spent her younger years in unstable accommodation, including stints of homelessness.
"I went pillar to post with foster families, homeless hostels, sleeping by the bins at the back of the Co-op, because it was too dangerous to go back to the children's home because of the abuse," Samantha recalled.
