Jordyn Woods has the most authentic way of previewing her game day fits.
Woods, who is a model and entrepreneur, is often seen supporting her husband, Karl-Anthony Towns, courtside at the New York Knicks games and is always creating a moment with her outfit choices. She exclusively spoke to ClutchPoints about the method behind her madness when creating a look.
"I wish I could say there was a crazy process, but it really just depends on how I'm
feeling on that day or that moment," Woods exclusively shared about her game day outfit process via her partnership with Walgreens. "Or if I got something I'm really excited to wear, I kind of just make an outfit around that. Like if I just got this jacket and I want to wear it, I'm like, 'Okay, 30 minutes before I have to leave, I'm piecing it together.'"

NEW YORK -- The Brooklyn Nets are just four games into their 2026-27 NBA season that they hope will be better than what they put forth during the 2025-26 campaign record-wise. Brooklyn has been trying to correct enough of their issues to hopefully win their first game of the season sooner than later, but the Nets made sure to take care of business with some of their youngest players.
The Nets announced on Thursday that they exercised the third-year team options for their entire 2025 NBA Draft class heading into Friday's NBA Cup game against the visiting Detroit Pistons. Brooklyn selected five players in the 2025 draft: guard Egor Demin, guard Nolan Traore, forward Drake Powell, guard Ben Saraf, and forward Danny Wolf and now, the quintet is under contract for the 2027-28 season.
"We brought them in for a reason. Obviously, picking up options is part of the management, but [it's] the belief on development and the type of people that we bring in," Fernandez said after Thursday's practice about the franchise's announcement. Brooklyn exercising the team options on the entire class was interesting given that only Demin and Traore have been seeing regular rotation minutes at this point in the season.
"We've been together for a little over a year and we believe that every single one of them has a future in this league. Everybody's got different paths to get there and that's okay. But, so far, I think that just proves that we believe in the process," Fernandez continued. While Demin and Traore have proven enough to see NBA minutes on a daily basis, Powell, Saraf, and Wolf will have to continue doing the work in the G League and in practice.
Demin will be out of action for the next week while he rehabs from a right leg bone bruise that he suffered in Tuesday's 125-124 overtime loss to the Boston Celtics, but Traore could just be hitting his stride. Traore entered the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the Celtics and if he continues to produce, he and Demin could be starting together once the former BYU Cougar returns. With that being said, the entire "Flatbush Five" will be in Brooklyn next season.

Duke cornerback Kimari Robinson has publicly apologized for swatting at a female trainer who was tending to one of his teammates. The incident, which was captured on the broadcast and went viral, occurred during the Blue Devils' loss to UNC on Saturday after Duke safety DaShawn Stone went down in a scary moment.
In a statement posted to social media, Robinson apologized for his conduct, saying that he had also apologized to the trainer in private after the game.
"I want to publicly apologize to the member of our training staff for how I acted toward her during Saturday's game. I was completely wrong, and she did not deserve that," Robinson wrote. "Immediately after the game, I apologized to her personally and checked to make sure she was okay."
Robinson added that his outburst stemmed from worry about Stone, who Robinson said "is like family."
"I was scared he might be seriously hurt. But being worried about him does not excuse how I treated her. I should have controlled my emotions, and I didn't," Robinson continued. "I'm truly sorry for my actions and for letting her, myself and our program down. I have to be better than that."

Duke football defensive back Kimari Robinson apologized after he received backlash for swiping at a team trainer trying to attend to an injured player.
During Duke's rivalry game against North Carolina on Saturday, Oct. 17, Dashawn Stone was injured in what looked like a serious injury, and Robinson went to check in on his teammate.
However, when a trainer came on the field to help, Robinson swiped his arm at the staffer, who looked to be shaken by it as she tried to attend to Stone.
The moment went viral on social media with Robinson receiving backlash for his actions.
"I want to publicly apologize to the member of our training staff for how I acted toward her during Saturday's game," Robinson posted on social media on Sunday, Oct. 18. "I was completely wrong, and she did not deserve that. I apologized to her personally and checked to make sure she was okay. The injured player on the ground, DaShawn Stone, is like family to me, and I was scared he might be seriously hurt. But being worried about him does not excuse how I treated her. I should have controlled my emotions, and I didn't.

Second Lady Usha Vance's scary moment exiting a helicopter with her newborn has sparked a heated debate online. Fans raised concerns about the incident and questioned why no one stepped in to help.
Second Lady Usha Vance nearly stumbled while exiting the Marine Two helicopter at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Monday, Oct. 5, PEOPLE reported. She had 10-week-old son Alec Neel Vance strapped to her chest in a baby carrier. Vance also carried a large leather diaper bag as she descended the aircraft's staircase.
She grabbed the railing after missing a step and quickly regained her balance. She then turned back toward the helicopter's entrance to reassure those nearby. According to lip reader Nicola Hickling, Usha told nearby officers, "I'm okay, and he's fine… thank you" (via The Mirror).
Vice President JD Vance followed her down the stairs moments later. He carried their four-year-old daughter, Mirabel, and did not appear to notice the incident. The family traveled to Anchorage, Alaska, for a Republican National Committee rally supporting Senator Dan Sullivan's reelection campaign.
The video quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), sparking safety concerns and criticism. One user questioned why no one intervened, writing, "Did ******* ody notice that Usha Vance is carrying a 9-week-old baby and a huge leather diaper bag, and she nearly FALLS down the stairs of Marine 2? The Air Force officers didn't move to help her, and her husband barely even acknowledges her."

A TikTok posted by marktilbury on July 29, 2026, shows him questioning tipping at several stops, including a hotel. The video drew about 4.2 million views and about 315,200 likes at the time of publication.
An unseen narrator records the creator at each stop. At a fast-food restaurant, the narrator can be heard asking, "Wait, aren't you gonna leave a tip?" "What for? I've served myself," the TikToker answered. He then says the payment kiosk prompted him to tip 15 percent.
He then stops at a coffee shop, where the narrator asks him again, "Okay, well, surely you tip for that coffee." Mark replies, "She didn't even crack a smile and still expects a 30% tip?" He then adds, "Absolutely not." The narrator replied, "Right."
Outside a hotel, the narrator told him, "Well, you have to tip for this valet." The creator asked, "Why? I've already paid $100 to park the car."
The narrator then pointed out that Tilbury is a millionaire. "Yeah, but you are a millionaire and this is American culture," the voice said.

Internet personality and streamer Meep (meepiosaurus) revealed that she was married at 19. It wasn't a fairy tale, and she told TikTok about the red flags leading up to her wedding.
"At this moment, I was separating myself from my family," Meep prefaced her story. Now divorced, she claimed her husband "wasn't the best" in terms of character. Furthermore, she alleged that he had been physically abusive but didn't go into detail about it.
"The beginning of that pattern starts with them taking you away from your family and your friends, kind of ostracizing you from your support system," she alleged. A former prosecutor has also described dangerous men and the characteristics they have in common. Meep now recognizes the pattern, but couldn't when she was 19.
"So, I remember my dad and I were besties at the time, and I started really detaching myself from him. Stopped going to therapy," Meep said. At the time, she was supposed to be tested for bipolar disorder, but didn't push through. She told her dad she was getting married the next day while they were in a parking lot.
"I remember it was one of those conversations that was heavy, okay? And I could tell there was something more happening in that conversation, and it was something I wasn't picking up on," Meep recalled. She said she knew she was making a mistake, and her father also advised her. He allegedly told her not to sign any contract that indicated she was married to her then-boyfriend. Meep believes her dad saw through her boyfriend and thought he was taking advantage of her.

Over the weekend, the model and realtor alleged that she had been a "punching bag" for the Trilla artist and posted an Instagram Story that showed her with a bruised and busted lip. In a new Story on Monday (Sept. 28), Kendrick thanked followers who "held **** e" and sent her thoughtful messages.
"I want you to know I'm okay. This happened about a month ago, so I've had time to sit with it, process it, and start healing," Kendrick wrote. "Speaking up wasn't easy, but your support reminded me I made the right choice."

Chris Rock dished the big "problem with wokeness" is it turned its true believers into coldhearted prudes who are unwilling to forgive people for supposed transgressions, no matter how big or small.
The comedy icon weighed in on the "Woke 1.o era" during a Saturday interview with The New York Times in which he compared it to the Old Testament… or what Jews simply refer to as the Bible.
Rock said it was "great" that society became more concerned with how "marginalized" people are treated in recent years, but he said the movement has gone way too far and become ruthless.
"The problem with wokeness is we're in the Old Testament right now, okay," Rock said. "The Old Testament has no forgiveness. The Old Testament didn't work, so they had to write a remix called the New Testament."
The Interview co-host David Marchese followed up by saying there has been a lot of talk about it lately, especially after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) declared "Woke 1 was crazy!" back in August.

Paloma Elsesser thinks that the glamorization of Ozempic and similar weight-loss drugs isn't a good thing for society as a whole.
The 34-year-old model, who became the first plus-size model to win Model of the Year at the Fashion Awards in 2023, made an appearance on Vogue's The Run-Through podcast and suggested the rise of Ozempic can be correlated to the rise of "conservative" and "anti-woke" rhetoric. "I think the Ozempic era that we're talking about is harmful because it kind of takes away the agency to live in the way that I would hope people and women and young girls and young people can think about their bodies in this world," she shared. Around the 32-minute point of the podcast, which can be seen above.
Elssesser also said that she's seen a rise in "pro-eating disorder content" on platforms such as TikTok, which is especially worrying considering so many young people have unfiltered access to such content.
"II think people are just being like, 'Okay, this is not it,'" she continued. "We're seeing celebrities and people… I think people are upset. … I think that women should have agency. I am critical of applying my body, your body, your choice to this conversation because it's like… 'Is it your choice?' It's not. It's a prescription, so it doesn't actually feel like a choice. … I don't know, maybe I said something problematic. … The number one central tenet, like, anything that I try and live and encourage is to just think critically, not be critical."

During the September 11 episode of Mad Money, a caller asked whether to buy, sell, or hold shares of The Kraft Heinz Company (NYSE:KHC). Jim Cramer replied:
No, I don't want you to do that… And I'll tell you why. Because it's not that I believe in the greater man theory, but this Steve Cahillane, who's the CEO, he saved Kellogg and made people a ton of money. He's going to do the same thing with Kraft Heinz. Let's give him a chance. Let's give him six months, okay? I think he'd appreciate that if we give him six months. He's been here for a while, and he's a… person [who] really likes to... [take] action. Don't leave it. Please don't leave Kraft Heinz.
The comments build on his June 2 view that he was willing to "take on the risk" of owning Kraft Heinz because of Cahillane's record at Kellogg. At the time, however, Cramer said he had "not all that much faith in Kraft or Heinz after previous management gutted the company."
The Kraft Heinz Company's (NYSE:KHC) second-quarter results show why the turnaround remains unfinished. Net sales fell 1.4% year over year to $6.26 billion, while organic net sales declined 1.3%. Adjusted operating income fell 18.4% to $1 billion, while North American sales declined 2.7%. Management raised its 2026 organic net-sales outlook to a decline of 0.5% to 2%, from the previous range of a 1.5% to 3.5% decline. It also increased incremental investment by $100 million to approximately $700 million in 2026, with the company targeting a return to volume-led, sustainable and profitable growth.
On September 2, Kraft Heinz said it will hold an Investor Day on November 12 to present its long-term strategy for "sustainable volume-led and profitable growth." Cahillane said, "Our brand investments are gaining traction and driving improved performance."

Inquiring about Walmart Inc. (NASDAQ:WMT) on September 10, a caller asked if they should "keep it." Mad Money host Jim Cramer replied:
I got to tell you, this one is a short and long-term, okay? Short-term, I think I know what Walmart's doing. I think that they're letting their customers have a big break. They're not passing along all of these costs. That is going to earn them tremendous love when things get better. So the wise situation is to say this: Walmart trades at 36 times earnings. It deserves to trade lower just because of what's happening at the company now and higher what's happening at the company when this inflation bout ends. So you buy some at $106, $105, and then buy some at $95. And yes, it could trade to $95. It does not have yield support. This is not like Target, which had that yield support. Target's doing better than Walmart right now. It is.
Walmart Inc.'s (NASDAQ:WMT) second-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue rose 5.9% year over year to $187.9 billion, while global e-commerce sales increased 23%. Global advertising revenue rose 38%, and membership-fee revenue increased 17% globally. Walmart U.S. comparable sales, excluding fuel, grew 2.6%. The company is also using tariff refunds to support lower prices. It said tariff refunds increased its gross profit rate during the quarter, while price investments partially offset the benefit.
Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) has stronger recent comparable-sales momentum. Its second-quarter sales rose 5.3%, comparable sales increased 3.8%, and traffic rose 3.6%. The company also raised its full-year sales-growth outlook to approximately 5%. Its second-quarter GAAP and adjusted EPS were $4.11, including a $1.65 benefit from tariff refunds. Excluding tariff refunds, GAAP and adjusted EPS increased 20% year over year. CEO Michael Fiddelke said Target had reduced prices on more than 10,000 frequently purchased items over the past year and acknowledged that "there's still meaningful work ahead."
Walmart Inc.'s (NASDAQ:WMT) biggest risk is valuation. Its premium forward PE of 36.76 leaves the stock more exposed if U.S. comparable-sales growth remains modest while the company continues investing in prices. Walmart's 2.6% U.S. comparable-sales growth also trails Target's 3.8%.

During the September 10 episode of Mad Money, a caller inquired about Mad Money host Jim Cramer's confidence that Arista Networks, Inc. (NYSE:ANET) will not go down the same path as Ciena Corporation. He replied:
Okay, so let me just tell you, Arista is up a lot this year. My confidence is with Jayshree Ullall. I think she's amazing and I think it every time the stock has dipped, if you've noticed it. Since her tenure began, you have to buy it, and I'm not backing away from that. I feel the same way I do now, the way I did, oh man, how many years ago when we first met her. She is money, and the company's fantastic.
In its second quarter, the company shattered records by delivering its first-ever $3 billion quarter, reporting $3.036 billion in revenue, a 38% year-over-year and over 12% sequential increase. Management lifted its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to approximately $12.6 billion, representing roughly 40% annual top-line growth. The acceleration is supported by deep integration into cloud architectures, where Arista Networks, Inc. (NYSE:ANET) expects its dedicated AI fabrics revenue to reach at least $3.5 billion in 2026, supported by more than 100 **** ulative Etherlink customers.
Bottom-line performance remains equally strong, with non-GAAP diluted earnings per share reaching $1.02, driven by a 49.9% non-GAAP operating margin and $1.3 billion in non-GAAP quarterly net income. Arista Networks, Inc. (NYSE:ANET) ended the quarter with roughly $13.3 billion in cash and marketable securities, offering substantial liquidity. However, its $9.7 billion of non-cancellable purchase commitments also increase working-capital and inventory risk as the company secures components ahead of expected AI demand.
The company's financial results remain heavily tied to two hyperscale customers. According to its 10-K filings, Microsoft accounted for 26%, and Meta Platforms generated 16% of total revenue in fiscal 2025, bringing combined spending from these two cloud giants to 42%. It leaves Arista Networks, Inc. (NYSE:ANET) vulnerable to sudden capital expenditure adjustments, vendor diversification shifts, or project delays by its core buyers.

Marshall Faulk not happy with Southern's 77-6 money game beatdown to Houston appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Marshall Faulk was not happy with his team's resounding 77-6 loss to the University of Houston on Saturday. The matchup was one of several money games FCS HBCU programs played over the past couple of weeks, and it was Faulk's first money game. In comments obtained by Kevin Batiste, Faulk expressed his disappointment with the result and what it meant.
"That was awful. That wasn't really a game. That was a kind of a pre-season crash dummy test for Houston to work on all their good plays, and we didn't show up…I felt like, for the most part, the guys that we had in early, our guys that's going to play, I feel like they gave the effort. But let's just be real, okay? They're better than us. All right? They're better than us. They're ranked what, twenty-second? We're FCS. Everybody know what this is. Let it be what it is. We're gonna get better, we're gonna lick our wounds, and get ready to play some football."
He then talked about maintaining his players' health after the Houston game and heading into SWAC play.
"I don't know. I know we have a couple of guys dinged up, but for the most part, I'm gonna say yes. Listen, man, I took my guys out. I wanted to make sure that we were healthy. We got SWAC play coming up in two weeks, and as much as winning this game seemed important as it started, with the start that we had, I just needed to make sure — or ensure — that we got out of this game as healthy as possible."

Well, there's not much to say about this lineup. David Peterson throws with his left hand. The Braves don't have Lane Thomas on hand anymore, so it's basically your standard lineup with Sean Murphy and Ha-Seong Kim bringing up the rear.
This is the same lineup the Braves used in what ended up being that 12-2 game against the Phillies. Given that Peterson probably won't last long given his inefficiency, the Braves may be hoping for a similar result.
I guess I'll talk about Ozzie Albies. He's hitting cleanup for the 21st time this season. His season is basically tanking. He started out with a near-.400 wOBA in April while running an average xwOBA, had a poor May, an okay-ish June, and then ran another huge xwOBA overperformance on a bad xwOBA in July. Since then, it's been absolutely grim. In August, he had a .275 wOBA and .283 xwOBA. In September, he's down to a .212 wOBA and .218 xwOBA. As has also been the case for a while, Albies is no longer terrorizing lefties. In his first seven seasons, he had five where he hit lefties super-well, and one of the ones where he didn't was a tiny-sample 2020 where he was hurt. In both 2024 and 2025, his xwOBA against lefties dwindled to an okay .325ish. This year? He's down to .282. He's only posted an xwOBA at or above .300 against lefties this season in April and July. In September so far, it's .171. There's not really that much time for Albies to change the script of his season, but this is a really disappointing follow-up to 2025 and it's going to be the third straight year where Albies turns in an underwhelming season.
Anyway, should we do batter versus pitcher while waiting for the Cubs to post their lineup? Sure, I guess. These guys are very familiar with Peterson, after all. Amazingly, neither Drake Baldwin nor Mauricio Dubon have ever faced Peterson, and Kim only has four PAs against him, but everyone else has somewhere between 12 and 30. Ronald Acuña Jr. and Matt Olson have destroyed Peterson in their careers, and Riley's been fine, but everyone else has struggled a bit. Add this all up, and you get a .318 wOBA and .347 xwOBA in 141 career head-to-head PAs.
As for the Cubs, well…

Former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin knows as much as anybody of the Cleveland Browns' long-spanning futility, and he put that past to good work on Sunday while roasting Cleveland.
Tomlin trolled Cleveland after the team's rotten season debut against the Jacksonville Jaguars, quoting a former Steelers player to sum up the franchise's misfortunes.
"In the words of my friend JuJu Smith-Schuster, the Browns is the Browns," Tomlin quipped during a Sunday NBC Sports segment.
Okay, that's pretty funny. Tomlin's first season on the sideline has gone extraordinarily well so far, and moments like this will only increase the odds he stays in NFL broadcasting for the long haul.
If you're a Cleveland fan, we're sorry for this. Maybe brighter days are ahead... eventually.

Channing Tatum admitted that fatherhood sometimes forced him to drop the superhero act. The actor opened up about vulnerability after premiering Josephine at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The 46-year-old star played a father confronting trauma alongside his young daughter. His character's struggle also pushed Tatum to reflect on his relationship with his daughter, Everly.
PEOPLE reported that Tatum discussed fatherhood during a TIFF Q&A. He played Damien, a father trying to help his eight-year-old daughter after a traumatic event. Damien encouraged his daughter to learn self-defense while his wife, Claire, took another approach. The role apparently mirrored Tatum's own instinct to protect Everly from life's harder moments.
"It's a really tough thing to tell the little being that you love more than anything," Tatum said during the Q&A. He admitted he once told Everly, "I'm just not okay right now." The actor explained that parents often want children to see them as invincible. "You always wanna be like the strongest person, like the Superman in their life," he said. "Sometimes you just can't."
Tatum shares Everly with ex-wife Jenna Dewan. The former couple welcomed her in 2013 before separating in 2018. He had also recently reflected on how quickly Everly grew up. During a January appearance on Today with Jenna & Sheinelle, Tatum described returning from a two-week press trip.

During the September 8 episode of Mad Money, Jim Cramer turned his attention to Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:ENB), examining escalating geopolitical tensions. He commented:
As long as the war with Iran drags on, it's easy to recommend the refiners like a Valero or a Marathon. I don't see it ending any time soon, not with the US and Iran trading volleys this evening at islands and ships in the Strait. But how about a pipeline that moves about 30% of all crude produced in North America? Now, I'm talking about Enbridge which has a 5.5% yield. Also has a natural gas, you know, it transports 20% of the natural gas that's consumed in America. Okay, it's Canadian, but it's not caught up in the tariff fight because slapping tariffs on Canadian energy would be economic suicide for our country.
Cramer's focus on Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:ENB) highlights the structural dominance of its midstream network. The company operates as a significant transport network for North American energy, moving approximately 30% of all crude produced on the continent. Moreover, its vast utility and transmission network handles 20% of the natural gas consumed in the United States. The company's toll-road business model generates highly predictable cash flows, supporting an attractive dividend yield of roughly 5.6%. For income-focused investors, the combination of essential operational volume and reliable capital return creates a defensive cushion during volatile market cycles.
The company's defensive moat goes into cross-border trade and regional security. As Cramer pointed out, imposing punitive tariffs on Canadian energy imports would amount to severe economic self-harm for the United States, given the deep interdependence of North American energy grids.
Even with steady toll revenues, Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:ENB) carries a heavy debt load that comes with the territory of running massive pipeline networks, with long-term debt sitting at approximately C$104 billion. Because building and maintaining energy infrastructure requires heavy borrowing, higher interest rates hit financing costs, which can occasionally weigh on income-seeking investors.

At the end of Stage 1, the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series field filed down pit road for standard pit stops, but things quickly went very wrong.
On the narrow pit road, there was a check-up that led to Rajah Caruth and Nick Sanchez spinning. It was an accordion effect as cars piled in, pushing each other into the wreck.
Caruth's car clipped crew members of Brent Crews' No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing, who also narrowly avoided being crushed by Sanchez's out-of-control car. It was a truly frightening moment that could have resulted in severe injuries, but thankfully, everyone was okay.
That was such a close call for Bryan Backus on the rear of the No. 19.

So glad to see him get up. pic.twitter.com/duFSFNxVnz
Most of the field was trapped behind the accident scene, unable to move. NASCAR was forced to immediately red flag the race.

R&B singer Bilal is facing allegations from Jamila Raegan, the mother of his adult son Bashir, who claims the artist has left her to handle their son's care alone. In an emotional Instagram post, Raegan also accused Bilal, whose full name is Bilal Oliver, of abuse and said she had protected him for more than half her life. "I'm not okay because I've spent over half of my life protecting an abuser," she wrote before identifying the singer by name.
Raegan said Bashir has multiple disabilities, including autism and bipolar disorder, and claimed Bilal has shown "complete disregard" while she manages their son's needs. "I am caring for him alone while his father continues to live his life," she wrote.
Raegan did not detail what **** istance she believes Bilal has withheld or provide specific information about her abuse allegation in the post.

Less than 24 hours away from Purdue's week two game against Wake Forest it's time for a final look back at Purdue's week 1 game against Indiana State. This week I asked you all to tell me if Purdue's performance against the Sycamores changed your expectations for the rest of the season. It seemed like a good thing to ask given that I had already asked all of you how you graded Purdue's week 1 performance. The results were not great if you're Purdue.
As you can see the majority of respondents graded Purdue at a C. That's not what you want out of week 1 when you're playing a cupcake. So given that C grade I was curious if that changed expectations up or down. Of course. there was also the option for no change. So, let's take a look at the results.
A whopping 76% of respondents didn't change their expectations after week 1 which honestly seems very reasonable, rationale, and not at all okay for this current internet age. Those 76% are the well adjusted respondents. 22% revised their expectations down and those are the people who likely graded Purdue much lower than a C. Honestly, I don't blame them. Then, there are the true sickos. 2% of respondents actually raised their expectations after week 1. I can only ******* ume Fame Ejiobe blew them away and their are pushing all their chips in on him. This time tomorrow we will have a much better idea of who this Purdue team is.
If you'd like to place a wager on tomorrow's Purdue vs. Wake Forest game the line is currently Purdue +2.5 and the O/U in 49.5 from our friends at FanDuel. If you're going to gamble please do so responsibly and don't gamble money that you aren't prepared to lose. Stay safe my friends.

TikTok user alexaabney69 frequently shares videos featuring conversations with her brother, often highlighting their sibling dynamic. A recent exchange about dating has caught viewers' attention, drawing more than 730,000 views and over 1,280 comments.
The video begins with Alexa telling her brother, "I've been thinking about it a lot, and I kind of feel like I'm ready for a real relationship and a real boyfriend."
When her brother responds with a questioning "Okay?" she asks whether he thinks she is ready, saying that she believes she is.
"Maybe you should stop talking to d—–bags, then," he replies. When Alexa says she doesn't know whether someone is a d—–bag until she starts dating them, her brother pushes back.
"Everyone knows," he says. "We all can tell except for you." He then suggests that Alexa look for something less surface-level in her next relationship. She responds that she likes the personalities of the men she has dated in the past.

Marcus Thompson: I feel like they include him in the process. He's aware of what's going on. His voice matters, and as long as that's the case, Steph is fine. He's going to hold their feet to the fire; he's going to make sure they're sticking to it. The Warriors want to win. They are thirsty to win. So their match made heaven that way. As you can see, they tried to get every star out there. They failed, but... I mean, that's what it is at the end of a run, right? It's not going to be pretty. This was probably as best as you can hope for. Hopefully Jimmy Butler comes back for them, and they can make another run, and maybe upset somebody, maybe give it one last valiant effort. What more can you ask for? They want four championships. I think Steph is good enough to stay in the game to where it's like, okay, if you get him the right pieces and get him in a matchup, he'll scare somebody. Now, ideally, they can get somebody good enough to make him like the No. 2. So, he's not carrying everything. That's just hard to do when the two oldest people on the team are making, you know, $120 million. It's tough to not go and get another player who's better than both of them.

On September 3, a caller asked whether to rotate out of artificial intelligence stocks and add to Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY) rather than chase Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) or Cardinal Health (NYSE:CAH). Mad Money host Jim Cramer said:
Well, I'll tell you… I think it's always good to look at Lilly as a stock that I think has a lot of things that are going well, but I want to wait. Well, actually, you know, tell you the truth… It's pulled back. I think you're fine, I think you're fine to add some. I'm going to okay that. And I understand JNJ's moved a great deal. It's been a great club hit and Cardinal has been terrific, too. So, thank you for referencing those two really good ones.
Cramer was also asked to rank J&J, Lilly, and Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) by another caller. He said:
Okay, so let's take them. J&J is best of breed, AAA balance sheet, 18 drugs… You're not going to have any expiration problems, okay? Lilly has one huge drug that we know is going to be a franchise for many, many years. I do like a diversifying pattern more. And Pfizer's starting to creep up and is playing catch-up, but I need a reason to recommend it. So I'm going to say J&J and Lilly and then Pfizer.
The latest results largely explain the differences in Cramer's ranking. Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY) has the strongest growth profile by a wide margin. Second-quarter revenue jumped 48% to $23 billion, while reported EPS increased 26% to $7.94 and non-GAAP EPS rose 33% to $8.38. Mounjaro revenue rose 91% to $9.9 billion, while US Zepbound revenue increased 44% to $4.9 billion. The company also raised its 2026 revenue guidance to $85 billion-$87 billion.

Answering a caller's query about Box, Inc. (NYSE:BOX) during the lightning round of Mad Money on September 3, Jim Cramer commented:
Box is finally, after multiple years, it is finally breaking out. It has good storage. People like storage. It's got a good CEO in Aaron Levie. It's just never been exciting to people. It's finally starting to get some mojo. I think it's okay to own. It's done nothing for years.
Cramer's perspective highlights a shifting narrative for a cloud pioneer that has historically traded in a tight range. In its fiscal second-quarter 2027 report, Box, Inc. (NYSE:BOX) posted revenue of $321.1 million, marking a 9.2% year-over-year increase that topped Wall Street expectations by over $2 million. Adjusted earnings per share reached $0.40, in line with consensus forecasts, while management raised full-year revenue guidance to approximately $1.29 billion. The core demand is supported by expanding adoption of higher-tier Box Suites, which now account for 69% of revenue, along with early traction in AI-driven document tools that help enterprises modernize legacy storage workflows.
Despite recent top-line acceleration, Box, Inc. (NYSE:BOX) operates in a fiercely competitive market dominated by massive tech ecosystems like Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive, and other specialized rivals such as Dropbox. While quarterly growth has stabilized, Box's multi-year annual growth rate has historically lagged behind high-flying software peers. Furthermore, Box still needs to sustain its recent growth acceleration while investing in AI capabilities.
As per Insider Monkey's data of over 1000 hedge funds, 37 hedge funds had a stake in Box, Inc. (NYSE:BOX) in Q2 compared to 36 in Q1, highlighting steady institutional backing from long-term ***** et managers. Arrowstreet Capital remained the company's top hedge fund holder in Q2 with 4.3 million shares. Additionally, it is worth noting that another significant shareholder, Citadel Investment Group increased its position in the stock by 60% to over 3.7 million shares. The short percentage of float sits at 14.26%, which shows a notable segment of the market remains unconvinced about the sustainability of the breakout.

On September 3, a caller mentioned that they are unsure whether to buy, sell, or hold Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC). In response, Mad Money host Jim Cramer said:
Okay, now, let's own this right up front. I got too excited about Intel because I knew it was going to have a good quarter. It had an unbelievable quarter, and the stock went down anyway... Here's the problem: The government has a huge position in it, and they're supposed to be able to sell it if they want to, and we're all waiting for the government to sell the stake, and that's why the stock's been going down. And I have been saying, listen, I may just have to go in and buy more right here, get a better average, and have it come back. I understand it is mixed, but my belief in Intel is 100%. I just need to see the government get out of the stock or just go buy it anyway.
Intel Corporation's (NASDAQ:INTC) fundamental business is finally turning a corner. The company blew past Wall Street estimates with $16.1 billion in second-quarter revenue, fueled by heavy demand for its Xeon data center chips and solid progress on its 18A manufacturing technology. For patient investors who watched management pour billions into rebuilding the company's chip-making muscle, these results offer encouraging signs that Intel's long-term comeback and push into AI hardware are starting to pay off.
Even with those solid numbers, the stock faces a major psychological roadblock: the federal government's massive equity stake. As Cramer noted, investors are sitting on their hands, worried about when and how that big block of shares might be sold off, creating a potential overhang on the stock. Adding to this narrative are structural headwinds in the foundry segment, which continues to report operating losses as it scales up capital-intensive fabrication infrastructure, leaving the stock vulnerable to sentiment-driven pullbacks.
Institutional interest reflects growing engagement along with the company's operational recovery. According to Insider Monkey's tracking data, 138 hedge funds held positions in Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) during the second quarter, marking an increase from 112 funds in the prior quarter. Short interest stands at 2.57% of the public float, showing a measured level of skepticism without aggressive bearish shorting.

After being passed over for roles because of her age, "The Drop" star Gail Bean is opening up about the ageism Black women face in Hollywood.
"Black don't crack" is one of the many phrases that pop culture has adopted to classify the graceful ways in which Black communities age. Now, while social media celebrates the ways Black women seem to age like fine wine, Hollywood seems to have a different standard when it comes to casting. During an appearance on "DMC with Na'im Lynn," "The Drop" actress Gail Bean revealed how her age has stopped her from getting roles.
"Let me tell you something. And we're not even really talking about the industry, but just to get into the industry, a deep, meaningful conversation piece that needs to happen when it comes to women and their age. I have been told this year alone for two projects that I was too old," Bean, 33, explained. "I was told I was too old to play Shantae, Snoop Dog's wife. I was told I was too old to play Storm [from X-Men]."
And while Lynn joked that Bean looks like a teenager, she explained: "They see my age online. And they're just like, 'Oh, no.' And the thing is, these are phenomenal casting directors. They do love me. They bring me in for way [more] other stuff. But, like, I was on the list literally two years ago for X-Men, for Marvel…as time passed, they're like, 'Yeah, no.'"
Bean continued, "I had such an emotional moment because it was like back-to-back within a month of being told no. And here's the thing. I'm okay with the no. It wasn't the no that hurt my feelings. It was the I'm too old that hurt my feelings."

Billie Eilish had a special role in her brother Finneas O'Connell's wedding to Claudia Sulewski. The newlyweds both wanted Eilish to stand beside them during the wedding ceremony. Instead, they found another important way to include her in their big day. Eilish officiated the couple's wedding ceremony in Montecito, California.
Sulewski shared details about the wedding in a YouTube video released Wednesday, Sept. 9. The first person they called when they began planning was Finneas' sister Billie, she said. Finneas wanted Eilish as his best man, while Sulewski wanted her as her maid of honor. "So we thought, 'Okay, sounds like she needs to marry us,' " Sulewski said.
Sulewski became emotional while talking about Eilish's role in the ceremony. "And truly, officiating our wedding was, like, the greatest gift she could ever give us," she said. Sulewski, 30, married O'Connell, 29, during an outdoor ceremony on Saturday, Aug. 29. The couple chose not to have bridesmaids or groomsmen because they wanted to "keep the experience intimate," according to Vogue.
Several well-known guests came to Montecito for the celebration. Justin and Hailey Bieber, Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard, Jason Sudeikis, Nina Dobrev, Emma Chamberlain, Rachel Sennott, and Stassie Karanikolaou attended. Eilish's boyfriend, Nat Wolff, was also invited. Eilish performed "Birds of a Feather" during the reception.
Eilish also supported Sulewski before the wedding during her final dress fitting at Oscar de la Renta's Beverly Hills boutique. She joined Sulewski through FaceTime and reacted to the dress with excitement.

When the New York Giants hired John Harbaugh as their next head coach back in January, many knew what was coming. The ship would be tightened quickly. Discipline would return, as would professionalism.
That doesn't apply only to players and coaches, though. Harbaugh has clamped down on certain access, such as video sharing and in-practice social media use, outlining the team's strategy. He sees them as corporate secrets, not for public consumption.
On Wednesday, Harbaugh took things a step further. When the Giants' media scrum began asking questions that he felt cut too close to the bone, he laid down the law.
"Let me just say this. I can just say this right now. We can put a stop to all these questions because I'm not going to tell you who's playing in the game," Harbaugh said in response to specific players' participation in practice and their status for this week's game versus Dallas," he said.
"I'm not going to tell you who's starting. I'm not going to tell you what package we have in. I'm not going to tell you what plays we're running. I'm not going to tell you any of that, okay? So, we can make it great and have a great press conference, or we can make it uncomfortable. But I'm not going to tell you because when you know, the Cowboys know, or every other team we play knows. And that's not in the competitive interest of our football team. Does that make sense? So, I think you can respect that."
