In a rare Sunday hearing, a federal appeals court judge appointed by President Trump questioned how the Trump administration's request to intervene in California's ongoing midterm election in order to force state officials to set aside 20,000 ballots from voters whose citizenship it questions squares with the U.S. Constitution.
Judge Mark J. Bennett said that while the executive branch is "unhappy" with what California law requires for ensuring voters are citizens, the state has the right to determine the manner of its elections under the Elections Clause of the Constitution and Congress has not challenged that process, despite having the ability to do so.
"It seems to me that you want us to issue an injunction that is entirely inconsistent with the law the California Legislature has adopted pursuant to the Elections Clause," Bennett said. "How can we do that?"
Matthew Donnelly, a Justice Department attorney, said the Trump administration has good reason to believe those ballots are from ineligible noncitizen voters, and has the legal right under separate federal criminal law to challenge their tabulation until state officials can prove otherwise.
Donnelly said both federal criminal law and state election law bar noncitizen voters from casting ballots, but "the problem is that California isn't interested in enforcing that provision."

Louis Vuitton presented its Spring 2027 collection, designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, at the Cour Carrée du Louvre in Paris, and as always, I noticed a few trends in the front row.
Emma Stone and Ana de Armas tend to play it relatively safe with their Louis Vuitton front row looks, so both were welcome surprises. Emma's electric-blue tailoring had a stronger silhouette than we usually see from her, while Ana went tougher in black leather with cut-outs and buckled detailing. Two welcome changes of pace. Did either woman pull her look off for you?
The front row had plenty of New York representation, with Jennifer Connelly joining Keri Russell, Chloë Sevigny and the Haim sisters.
There's a lot going on with Jennifer Connelly's look, including some seriously divisive lace-up boots, but on Jennifer it works. It always works. She has never played it safe with Louis Vuitton, and I don't ever want her to.
Keri Russell will always serve up a sophisticated, sculptural point of view, and she found the perfect Louis Vuitton look. The only thing not working for me is the monogram bag. I wish it had been black.

As Solheim Cup rivalries were renewed for the 20th time, Carlota Ciganda once again stole the show after Europe's top pairing of Charley Hull and Lottie Woad failed to ignite against the United States at Bernardus Golf Club in the Netherlands
The 36-year-old Spaniard, who is the oldest player on show this weekend, let out a roar of pure emotion after holing a 15-foot putt to earn Europe what had seemed an unlikely half point in the final fourball match of the day to ensure honours are even at 4-4 heading into Saturday.
Ciganda's celebration evoked memories of the nerve-shredding finale at Finca Cortesin in 2023, when her putt allowed Europe to retain the trophy with a 14-14 tie.
And once again Nelly Korda was on the receiving end.
The world number one, and her playing partner Lauren Coughlin, both left match-winning putts short to allow Ciganda, who had crucially won the 16th hole with an eagle, to deliver a stunning reprieve for Anna Nordqvist's team.

A full day came down the final hole Friday in the 20th Solheim Cup.
And, once again, Carlota Ciganda delivered.
Wide off the tee on the par-4 18th and even farther right with her second shot, the 2023 Finca Cortesin hero, saved par from 12 feet to tie her match and keep the overall competition even entering Day 2.
Europe and the U.S. are knotted, 4-4, after the opening two sessions at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands. In danger of falling behind on home turf, Ciganda added to her Solheim legend in teaming with fellow Spaniard Julia Lopez Rameriz, a cup rookie, to secure an improbable tie against Nelly Korda and Lauren Coughlin.
The sides split the morning foursomes, with the U.S. capturing the first two matches and the Euros claiming the latter two.

GUILFORD - New seasons bring new faces. Those new faces could determine the success or failures of teams.
For the Guilford football team, it was a mix of new and old which made a difference in its season opener against Amity.
Behind 86 yards and a touchdown on the ground by junior Shane Connelly, 123 yards and a touchdown in the air by sophomore quarterback Ryan Lynch and a tough as nails defense, Guilford topped Amity 21-7 in a Southern Connecticut Conference contest at Kavanaugh Field at Guilford High Thursday evening.
"We practiced, we knew what they were going to do," Connelly said. "We knew their concepts, and what they were planning to do on us. I think we handled it perfectly."
For Amity, it was the story of missed opportunities as the Spartans could not capitalize until Colt Snowden connecting with Tyler McDaniel on a 10-yard touchdown with 4 minutes, 40 seconds remaining in the game to cut the deficit to 14 points.

Nelly Korda is the No. 1 in the world, a multiple major winner and an Olympic gold medalist.
Still, for all her individual accolades, nothing in golf beats putting on the Team USA uniform and representing her country at the Solheim Cup.
"There's no greater feeling," Korda says, "especially stepping onto that first tee box."
This week could be even more special for the biggest name in women's golf.
Korda is spearheading the United States' attempt to win the Solheim Cup on European soil for the first time since 2015 in the matches that start Friday in the Netherlands. After regaining the crystal trophy in 2024, the Americans need only 14 points at Bernardus Golf course to keep possession.

It's hard to imagine a better birthday call than the one Auston Kim of St. Augustine got from U.S. Solheim Cup captain Angela Stanford on Aug. 16.
Kim was whiling away a Sunday afternoon during a break from her LPGA schedule playing frisbee in the backyard of her St. Johns Golf and Country Club home with her sister, August. Kim then got the call from Stanford, who was at the site of the LPGA event in Portland, Ore., to let her know that she had qualified on points for the U.S. team that will play Europe Sept. 11-13 at the Bernardus Golf Club in Cromvoirt, Netherlands.
"It was a good birthday present," Kim said on Sept. 1 after a practice session at her home course. "Completely unexpected. If I had played a tournament that week, I would have been on-site, and it would have been a lot different. I wasn't in a golf mode."
More: These are the 12 members of the 2026 U.S. Solheim Cup team headlined by Nelly Korda
She will be in the Netherlands, where Kim will join U.S. teammates such as Nelly Korda, Jennifer Kupcho, Rose Zhang and Allisen Corpuz against Europe, led by Charley Hull, Lottie Woad, Celine Boutier and Leona Maguire.

A Georgia Bulldogs long snapper survived the grind of final cuts and has made an NFL roster. Former Georgia long snapper Beau Gardner has made the Chicago Bears' active roster, according to a team announcement. He won the competition against Luke Elkin.
Gardner will be an integral part of the special teams unit alongside kicker Cairo Santos and punter Tory Taylor. Santos has been the Bears kicker since 2020, while Taylor has been one of the best punters in the league.
Gardner was also a part of a great special teams unit in Georgia, where he transferred in 2024 after three seasons with the UCLA Bruins. Kicker Peyton Woodring, still on the team, made the All-SEC second team in 2024 and 2025, while Brett Thorson, the punter for the Minnesota Vikings, was a first-team All-American and winner of the Ray Guy Award in 2025, along with being All-ACC second team in 2024 and 2025.
Gardner himself was a great special teamer in Georgia. He was first-team All-SEC in 2024 and 2025, first-team All-American in 2025, and even won the Patrick Mannelly Award in 2025 for being the best long snapper in the nation. He consistently delivered great snaps. The Bears signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2026 as a reward, and he has made the team.
The Bears have very little former Georgia Bulldogs on their team, with just running back D'Andre Swift joining Gardner. They used to have linebacker Roquan Smith on their team before he was traded to the Baltimore Ravens in 2022. Gardner is not the only undrafted Georgia specialist to make an NFL team. Brett Thorson made the Vikings as well.

On August 28, Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) said that the Chief Financial Officer, Julia Donnelly, will leave the company on October 30, kicking off an external search for her replacement. Vikram Naidu, the company's vice president of finance and business operations, will serve as interim principal financial officer in the meantime. Donnelly is departing to join a private, early-stage company after roughly three years in the role, a stretch CEO Bill Ready credited with 11 consecutive quarters of double-digit revenue growth. The timing puts a spotlight on whether Pinterest can keep that momentum going without her.
The financial picture Donnelly leaves behind is a strong one. In the second quarter of 2026, Pinterest generated $1.18 billion in revenue, up 18% year over year and the fourth straight quarter above $1 billion. Global monthly active users climbed to 640 million, an 11% increase and the eleventh consecutive quarter of double-digit user growth, with Gen Z now making up more than half the platform's user base.
The United States and Canada region, Pinterest's most lucrative market, shows the acceleration most clearly. Revenue there grew 18%, a five-point jump from the prior quarter, helped by a restructured sales team and tighter account coverage for mid-market advertisers. Average revenue per user in that region rose 14% to $8.30. Management has also leaned hard into artificial intelligence, rolling its conversational Pinterest ****** istant out to most US users by the end of July and pointing to open-source models that run at less than 8% of the cost of comparable closed systems.
Profitability improved alongside growth. Adjusted EBITDA reached $311 million, a 26% margin that expanded 130 basis points from a year earlier, and free cash flow totaled $1.3 billion over the trailing twelve months. Pinterest used some of that cash to retire nearly 111 million shares this year, spending more than $2 billion on buybacks.
Donnelly's exit adds a layer of uncertainty to a company that just forecast a deceleration. Pinterest's own guidance calls for third-quarter revenue growth of 13% to 15%, down from 18% in the second quarter, a slowdown management attributes to the shift in when Prime Day fell, a smaller currency tailwind, and continued pressure from Asia-based cross-border retailers hit by regulatory actions in Europe. Competition from Meta's Instagram for digital advertising dollars is compounding the squeeze.

Red Sox Face Daunting Doubleheader Challenge Against Yankees Aces originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Boston Red Sox could not solve Cam Schlittler on Friday night. Their reward is a Saturday date with two of the New New York Yankees' top pitchers.
New York will activate Max Fried from the injured list to start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader at Yankee Stadium. Carlos Rodón will start the opener against Red Sox left-hander Connelly Early.
Fried's return comes exactly 15 days after the Yankees placed him on the injured list, allowing him to return following a minimum-length absence. The timing presents another difficult test for Boston's struggling lineup.
The Red Sox entered Saturday after being shut out in consecutive games. They dropped Friday's series opener 1-0 despite recording five hits and drawing six walks against New York's pitching staff. Boston went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position and stranded 10 runners. The loss extended its scoreless streak to 18 innings.

Three LPGA golfers have won consecutive tournaments in 2026. Might there be a fourth this week?
Miyu Yamashita of ******* an, who won last week's CPKC Women's Open in a rout by nine shots, shot 2-under 70 on Friday. She had it to 10 under and the solo lead at one point but a late bogey dropped her into a three-way tie for the lead at the FM Championship.
Yamashita has two wins this season and a third this week would put her alongside three golfers who have won back-to-back starts in 2026: Hyo Joo Kim (Fortinet and Ford in March), Nelly Korda (Chevron and Riviera Maya in April) and Haeran Ryu (KPMG Women's PGA and Amundi Evian) in late June/early July.
Yamashita started on the back nine and birdie Nos. 16 and 17. A bogey on No. 1 was followed by birdies at Nos. 2 and 6 before one more bogey at the eighth hole. A somewhat ho-hum round but she's co-leading alongside Kim, and Allisen Corpuz, who has yet to win in 2026. Two golfers tied for fourth, Morgane Metraux and Ruoning Yin, posted 7-under 65s. Suvichaya Vinijchaitham, tied for ninth, also shot 65, the best score of the day Friday.
Defending champ Lottie Woad is tied for 27th after a 73 on Friday.

The Los Angeles Lakers failed in their quest to sign Jonathan ***** inga in free agency, with the forward opting to join the Minnesota Timberwolves instead. The Lakers reportedly put a three-year, $36 million deal on the table, but ***** inga agreed to a two-year, $12 million contract with the Timberwolves.
It was an interesting decision, and ***** inga's agent, Aaron Turner, revealed to The Athletic how Anthony Edwards helped convince his client to come to Minnesota.
"Ant was super active in the recruitment of him," Turner said. "One thing he did was focus his message on, we're gonna really guard here. Everybody looked at the offensive end. JK and I looked more at the defensive end."
The Timberwolves were initially offering ***** inga just the $3.6 million veteran minimum salary, and that was too low for even Edwards to do anything. Turner unsurprisingly asked them to free up more money to put up a more appealing offer. So why did they do that now?
Well, the Timberwolves just got a new controlling owner in Marc Stad. Stad told the president of basketball operations, Tim Connelly, to do whatever it took to get up to the $6 million taxpayer mid-level exception.

The Wolves have been looking for a prototypical power forward ever since trading Julius Randle and Naz Reid during a busy offseason that also brought LaMelo Ball to Minnesota. Multiple team sources, speaking under condition of anonymity to discuss the team's private recruiting efforts, outlined the work done over the summer that helped the Timberwolves beat out other suitors for ****** inga's services. Tim Connelly, Timberwolves president of basketball operations, had extended conversations with ****** inga and agent Aaron Turner throughout the summer, including flying to Miami for a face-to-face meeting with ****** inga, sources said.

In the end, Jonathan ***** inga was willing to take less money per year to get back on the market sooner rather than take a longer contract with more guaranteed money.
After intense recruiting from Anthony Edwards and others, ***** inga has agreed to join the Timberwolves on a two-year, $13 million contract, a story broken by Shams Charania of ESPN. ***** inga stepped into the taxpayer mid-level exception the Timberwolves still had available.
This is a recruiting coup for the Timberwolves, who put on a full-court press in the last month, Charania reported. That included Edwards and other players, as well as team president Tim Connelly, who reportedly had a four-hour meeting with him. ***** inga is expected to step into the starting lineup at the three next to LaMelo Ball, Edwards, Jaden McDaniels and Rudy Gobert.
The Lakers had been pursuing ***** inga to become a starter next to Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, and they were trying to work out a sign-and-trade with Atlanta, but that would have required ***** inga to sign at least a three-year contract instead of the two in Minnesota. Plus, the Lakers and Hawks struggled to come close to a trade that worked for both sides for a variety of reasons (such as the Hawks wanting picks but not taking on players).
Kuminga did not find as robust a market for his services as he expected this summer. Atlanta chose not to pick up his $24.3 million team option, and ***** inga initially hoped for a deal in the ballpark, or at least north of $15 million. Eventually, it became about the shorter contract and the opportunity to play on a team with big expectations and to prove his value in that setting that lured him to Minnesota.

UTA CEO David Kramer accused Variety executive editor Matt Donnelly of threatening the talent agency and engaging in hostile behavior toward female UTA employees after the publication of a critical story Wednesday.
In a memo to staff, Kramer said Donnelly had described UTA as a "flagrant and hostile enemy" in an email. He also quoted a text in which the reporter allegedly warned there would "be consequences both from Variety/PMC and myself."
Kramer further claimed Donnelly had told UTA employees he intended to damage the agency's business and had "recently subjected women at UTA to hostile and unprofessional behavior."
"That does not live up to any editorial standard," Kramer wrote. "We will not tolerate it."
A UTA insider told TheWrap of Donnelly's behavior towards the agency's staffers: "He calls them stupid. He calls them lazy. He calls them inept to their faces."

Many believe they know Boots Donnelly, given the decades he spent in the public spotlight thanks to his success in local sports. But nothing could be further from the truth.
Donnelly's oldest daughter, Bunny, knew her father's story ran deeper than most realized, yet it took several years to persuade the former high school and college football coach to tell it.
In her new book "Boots Donnelly: How He'll Be Remembered," Bunny Donnelly recounts her father's story of a tumultuous childhood growing up in a home connected to a bar in North Nashville, teenage years spent fending off ***** ual advances from Catholic priests, and the perseverance that carried him to a College Football Hall of Fame career.
The book is available on Amazon.
"I never wanted anybody to know any of it," said Boots Donnelly, who coached at Father Ryan before going to Austin Peay and Middle Tennessee State as the head football coach. "I didn't think it was that important. I was raised without a father. That's not important."

Angela Stanford has always relished playing away, whether in a basketball gym or on foreign soil. Only three U.S. teams have won overseas, and Stanford played on two of them (2015 and 2007). To get ready for this year's competition in the Netherlands, Stanford called the three captains who have won in Europe: Judy Rankin, Betsy King and Juli Inkster.
Now it's her turn to try and join that short, illustrious list. Stanford's keys to success: good putters and chemistry.
For the 20th playing of the Solheim Cup, Stanford takes a team led by world No. 1 Nelly Korda, a 19-time winner on tour and one of only two Americans on this team to win in 2026. Lauren Coughlin is the second.
On Monday, Stanford announced her three captain's picks, which include Lindy Duncan, the oldest Solheim Cup rookie in 25 years. The last player to nab an automatic qualifying spot was Alison Lee, who came back from maternity leave earlier this season and played the 2024 Solheim Cup while pregnant.
Six players on the team have played in the past two Cups. Pick Megan Khang joins good friend Korda in boasting the most Solheim appearances with four.

0800 GMT – Asian tech stocks are being tested by corporate actions and supply concerns, Tickmill Group’s Patrick Munnelly says in a note. With Alibaba planning to raise $10.2 billion for AI investment via a share placement and Chinese memory chipmaker YMTC seeking $4.9 billion in a Shanghai IPO, there are growing concerns about massive equity dilution and fresh share supply hitting the market, he notes. “While easing crude prices provide a temporary buffer, trade spats and incoming inflation data leave little room for complacency,” he says. Meanwhile, investors trim risk exposure to highly sensitive growth stocks ahead of pivotal megacap earnings, including Nvidia’s later this week, and the Federal Reserve’s annual Jackson Hole gathering.

On August 4, Pinterest, Inc. (NYSE:PINS) beat Wall Street's second-quarter targets, then told investors to expect a slower ride ahead. Shares dropped as much as 9% in extended trading anyway. The firm posted adjusted earnings of 43 cents a share, well past the 36 cents **** ysts had expected. Revenue was $1.18 billion against a $1.15 billion estimate. However, the guidance told a different story: third-quarter revenue of $1.19 billion to $1.21 billion implies growth of just 13% to 15%, a real step down from the 18% pace investors had gotten used to.
CEO Bill Ready spent part of the earnings call making a case that stuck with people: He said that any company still ignoring open-source AI models is probably wasting its shareholders' money. Pinterest is leaning into that idea itself, mixing pricier proprietary models with cheaper open-weight ones through what CFO Julia Donnelly called "model routing infrastructure," sending the hard stuff to expensive models and routine tasks to cheap ones. Donnelly also explained why growth is slowing: the ad boost from the World Cup won't repeat next quarter, while European regulators are squeezing the Asian retailers who buy heavily on Pinterest.
Etsy, Inc. (NYSE:ETSY) had its own rough week for a different reason. On August 5, the marketplace beat estimates and raised its full-year sales outlook. The firm then cut 220 jobs, about 12% of its staff, the same day.
Pinterest, Inc. (NYSE:PINS)'s user numbers held up well, with monthly actives up 11% to 640 million, ahead of the 635 million **** ysts wanted. Adjusted EBITDA of $311 million beat both the company's own guidance and Street estimates of $270 million. CEO Ready's push into cheap open-source AI could keep a lid on costs even as usage climbs.
However, growth itself is the problem. Revenue is decelerating from 18% down to a guided 13% to 15%. CFO Donnelly warns that European pressure on Asian advertisers could mean this slowdown will last longer than one quarter.

The American team for the Solheim Cup is nearly set except for the three captain's picks for Angela Stanford for the Sept. 11-13 matches in The Netherlands. The CPKC Women's Open this week in Canada is the final qualifying event.
Lauren Coughlin clinched the sixth of seven automatic spots last week at The Standard Portland Classic. The previous spots went to Nelly Korda, Angel Yin, Jennifer Kupcho, Yealimi Noh and Auston Kim. That leaves one spot left between Allisen Corpuz and Andrea Lee.
However, the next two selections come from the women's world ranking. So even if Lee doesn't win in Canada this week, she locks up a spot in the world ranking at No. 37. The final spot from the ranking would come down to Lee (No. 59), Lindy Duncan (No. 61), Jenny Bae (No. 65) and Rose Zhang (No. 66).
Stanford will announce her two captain's picks after the tournament Sunday.
Europe filled out its 12-player roster on Aug. 3.

Fitting that a fancy feed led to the game-winning points on Cousy Court.
During a frantic final possession, Cole Binienda drove into the lane and whipped a pass to a cutting Matt Halloran with five seconds remaining for the go-ahead layup on Monday night. After Jono Raleigh's half-court heave rimmed out, Halloran ducked his 6-foot-8-inch frame as he was mobbed by his Worcester Partnership teammates in a 55-54 victory over Sullivan, Garrity and Donnelly Insurance.
The victory handed the fifth-seeded Bancroft School team the Kingsway Summer League championship over the No. 1 seed from St. John's at Crompton Park on a muggy night.
"No one was on me and I just went up with it," said Halloran, who transferred to Bancroft after playing at Wachusett last season. "It feels great to win the championship."
"I was trying to drive for the layup and I just threw it (to Halloran)," Binienda said.

Elly De La Cruz added another memorable moment to his growing highlight reel Monday night, delivering the first walk-off hit of his career as the Cincinnati Reds rallied for a 6-5 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in 10 innings.
De La Cruz ripped the game-winning hit in the bottom of the 10th, scoring Tyler Stephenson and allowing Cincinnati to salvage a split of Monday's doubleheader. The 110.9 mph shot capped a comeback after the Reds trailed 4-1 earlier in the game.
The dramatic finish came one inning after Dane Myers kept Cincinnati alive.
With two outs in the ninth and the Reds trailing 5-4, Myers came off the bench and delivered a pinch-hit solo home run to tie the game and force extra innings.

Tim Connelly speaks on how LaMelo Ball's playmaking will help the Timberwolves originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The 2026 offseason has been quite eventful for the Minnesota Timberwolves. They traded away Timberwolves mainstay Naz Reid in the package sent to the Charlotte Hornets for LaMelo Ball, the type of point guard that Anthony Edwards needs alongside him in the same backcourt.
Timberwolves team president Tim Connelly is known for making big moves, and he thinks that this would be yet another addition to a growing team. It is a massive change, but Connelly and the rest of the team believe in having Ball as the starting point guard.
Since his high school days at Chino Hills, LaMelo has always been known as one of the most talented point guards in basketball. He has had an unorthodox play style since then, but he has evolved into one of the league's best playmakers since getting drafted third overall in 2020.
During that same NBA Draft, the Timberwolves selected Edwards two picks earlier. After years of going back and forth, the two guards are now playing together. That is a big deal because they fit well alongside each other because of their complementary styles.

Amar'e Stoudemire is set to enter the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame during the Enshrinement Ceremony in Springfield, Massachusetts, tonight.
An achievement of this magnitude would lead to Stoudemire being surrounded by family and friends to celebrate his career. Ahead of the ceremony, we take a look at the NBA legend's personal life.
Stoudemire has four children and was married to Alexis Welch for nearly a decade. The two met as teenagers at a party hosted by rapper Nelly in 2002, around the time Stoudemire entered the NBA as a rookie.
They would begin to date soon after. This was the beginning of a 10-year-long relationship before they ultimately decided to tie the knot.
They took advantage of the 12-12-2012 date and got married on the rooftop deck of their Manhattan home. This was when Stoudemire was with the New York Knicks.
The nuptials were a fairly secretive affair, but Vibe.com reported that it was attended by a modest 12 guests.

Utah's Devon Dampier is one of the better returning quarterbacks in college this season, with ESPN Bill Connelly ranking Dampier the No. 12 quarterback in college football and Antonio Morales and Sam Khan Jr. of The Athletic pegging him at No. 22 in the country.
After a season that saw Dampier throw for 2,490 yards and 24 touchdowns and rush for 835 yards and 10 scores, all while playing through a sports hernia and ankle injury for much of the season, there is reason for Utah fans to be excited with the senior quarterback's return to Salt Lake City.
Adam Rittenberg of ESPN recently spoke to coaches, coordinators and general managers, who were granted anonymity to speak freely about some of the top quarterbacks in each conference.
One Big 12 defensive coordinator said, "I'm a big fan of Dampier; he's legit."
In a step up in competition from New Mexico, Dampier proved to be exactly what the Utes needed at the quarterback position in 2025. Dampier arrived at Utah with offensive coordinator Jason Beck, and the pairing helped the Utes score 41.2 points per game and gain 482.9 yards per contest, marks that ranked No. 4 in the country.

USC football owns so many magical and historic moments. It just so happened that one of the school's greatest football victories was also a landmark for television, as ESPN's Bill Connelly explained:
"Nov. 18, 1967: No. 4 USC 21, No. 1 UCLA 20. With innovative direction from energetic young executive Roone Arledge, ABC Sports moved into the college football game in the 1960s and brought never-before-seen production value to the table," Connelly wrote. "That lent a new level of gravitas to big-game broadcasts, and it didn't get any bigger than this one, a rivalry game between top-five teams -- and featuring two future Heisman winners (Gary Beban in 1967, O.J. Simpson in 1968) -- played in front of 90,772. Simpson unleashed a weaving, 64-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter to secure a classic win."
Some of you might remember that Roone Arledge was the brain behind the creation of Monday Night Football in 1970. Arledge was a genius and pioneer in sports television packaging, a truly revolutionary figure in American television and sports. USC's epic win over UCLA, the greatest game ever played in the USC-UCLA football series, got the A-list treatment from television, helping the Battle for Los Angeles become a staple of late-November Saturdays. USC-UCLA regularly followed Michigan-Ohio State on national television, establishing itself as an American rivalry, not just a local one.
