A Florida team can qualify for its fourth straight Southeast regional championship game if Chaires-Capitola can beat Phenix City, Alabama, today. That would put the Tallahassee boys one step away from reaching the 2026 Little League World Series.
Chaires Little League dominated its first two games at regionals, beating teams from Georgia and South Carolina by a combined score of 24-2. Phenix City won both of its games by three runs, including an 8-5 win Saturday, Aug. 8, against perennial regional power Nolensville, Tennessee. "The Green Machine" is used to taking down ******* ans, though: They beat the reigning regional champs from Irmo, South Carolina, 8-1 and won the state ******* le by blanking 2024 LLWS champion Lake Mary 6-0.
A loss today wouldn't spell the end of Tallahassee's tournament; it would put them in an elimination game Monday, Aug. 10. They'd have to win that to earn a rematch for a place in Williamsport. Follow along live with us as Chaires continues its Southeast regional run.

Chaires-Capitola Little League is on a roll! The Tallahassee team won its first two games on its path toward the 2026 Little League World Series.
Chaires opened up the floodgates in their Southeast regional opener with a four-inning 16-1 victory over Columbus, Georgia. "The Green Machine" followed that up with an 8-1 win against Irmo, South Carolina, who beat mighty Lake Mary to advance to Williamsport in 2025.
Now the Florida boys get a well-earned day of rest before the tournament kicks into high gear. They'll take on one of two perennial regional powers: the winner of today's showdown between Nolensville, Tennessee and Phenix City, Alabama. If the Alabama team wins, Florida could be facing down Kinley Rasmus; she pitched two strong innings in Phenix City's opening victory.

A win will advance them to the regional championship game Tuesday, Aug. 11, but a loss won't end Chaires' chances. If they slip up, they'll play an elimination game Monday, Aug. 10, with the winner getting to play for a place in the global LLWS.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., one of Congress' most outspoken progressives and a member of the "Squad," won the 12th Congressional District's Democratic primary Tuesday evening, teeing up her re-election for a fifth term.
Tlaib's primary victory against Michigan state lawmaker Shanelle Jackson and Inkster Mayor Byron Nolen continues a string of victories for progressives as the Democratic Party's far-left wing enjoys ***** ounced primary election success that has strengthened the hand of its coalition. It has also widened the range of positions held by their candidates.
When Tlaib and fellow Squad members joined the House of Representatives in 2019, their campaigns stood out for their far-left views. Tlaib and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., in particular, stood out because of their membership in the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
Eight years later, the DSA has backed Tlaib again.

The Cardinals drafted defensive tackle Walter Nolen with the 16th overall pick in 2025. He played six games with no starts and totaled 11 tackles, two sacks and five quarterback hits.
"I don't feel like I did enough," Nolen said, via Darren Urban of the team website. "Being healthy is a big part of it."
Nolen had a calf injury early and a meniscus tear in his left knee late.
He was limping on the sideline during Friday's practice, but Nolen is healthy.
"I'm great. It was just a little hiccup," Nolen said. "We got a long season ahead, so just doing what's best for me. I'm faithful in the work that I put in. I'm faithful in the Lord, and I feel like everything good."

On Friday at training camp, the Arizona Cardinals had an injury concern with second-year defensive tackle Walter Nolen. He went to the locker room with trainers, looking at his left knee, which was the one he had surgically repaired at the end of last season.
It turns out he was okay.
After Saturday's off day, Nolen was back on the field at State Farm Stadium on Sunday and practiced as he normaly would.
That is huge news for Cardinals fans.
Head coach Mike LaFleur was asked about Nolen before Sunday's practice.

The Arizona Cardinals had to sign a new defensive lineman because of an injury to one of their players from last season. It wasn't because of Walter Nolen, though, despite his leaving practice early on Friday.
It was to replace PJ Mustipher. Mustipher was placed on injured reserve with a foot injury he suffered in training camp, and the Cardinals signed defensive lineman Brodric Martin to replace him.
Martin is 6-5 and 330 pounds. He entered the league in 2023 as a third-round pick of the Detroit Lions. He struggled with his weight and injuries in Detroit and played in only five games in his first two seasons.
Since then, he has spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers and Las Vegas Raiders, appearing in one game for the Steelers last season.
He now joins the Cardinals at the back of their depth chart with a shot to make an NFL roster again.

The Arizona Cardinals will face the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2026 regular season, and that means facing a much richer dominant defensive lineman. The Eagles agreed to a huge, four-year, $152 million contract extension with Jalen Carter. The deal is worth up to $160 million, meaning the potential for a $40 million per-year average.
In three NFL seasons, he has been a Pro Bowler twice and a second-team All-Pro once.
This is significant for the Cardinals because they have a promising young defensive tackle in Walter Nolen, who, in limited playing time as a rookie, looked dominant.
Nolen is not eligible for a contract extension until 2028, but if he is what the team and fans believe and hope he can be, it means he will be very expensive to extend. In two years, top young defensive tackles will certainly be averaging more than $40 million per year.
Now, worrying about that now is a little foolish, but it is something to watch, especially with Nolen's potential.
