As The Stein Line first reported last Sunday, however, Orlando's Anthony Black is not expected to join that group after scant discussion between the sides to this point. The Magic remain big fans of the 22-year-old and don't want to trade him, league sources say, but Orlando also knows that its payroll can't withstand another pricey long-term deal with Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs and Desmond Bane all on long-term pacts and each of them making between $32.4 million (Suggs) and $41.8 million (Wagner) this season.

Celebrity breakups sometimes come as a shock—especially when the split happens months or even days before the couple was set to marry.
Stars who cancelled their weddings include Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Usher, and Brad Pitt.
For some couples, like Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry, their engagement lasted for years before they broke things off.
Not every celebrity engagement ends in a marriage.
For some star couples, the time between a proposal and their highly anticipated "I do's" forces them to take stock of what they really want. They might realize things are happening too fast, or that they're—plot twist—in love with someone else. Whatever the reason, they're bound to make headlines when they call off their wedding, sometimes within days of the planned ceremony.

Coca-Cola announced plans Tuesday to invest $10 billion in U.S. infrastructure between 2026 and 2030, covering new and expanded production, distribution and office facilities across the country.
That $10 billion commitment is calculated across the full Coca-Cola system — meaning it rolls in spending by bottling partners and is not limited to the parent company's own capital budget, according to Reuters. In July, the company forecast its own capital expenditure at approximately $2.2 billion for the fiscal year. Projects covered by the broader $10 billion commitment include previously announced work in Rancho Cucamonga, California; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Indianapolis, Indiana; Birmingham, Alabama; Coopersville, Michigan; St. Cloud, Minnesota; Orlando, Florida; and Webster, New York, the company said.
The announcement accompanied an independently commissioned study measuring the Coca-Cola system's 2025 economic contributions in the United States. The study found the system contributed $85 billion to U.S. gross domestic product — roughly $10 million in economic activity per hour — and supported nearly 1 million jobs, the company said. Rounding out the economic picture, the system directed roughly $37 billion toward American suppliers and channeled $177 million into community initiatives via The Coca-Cola Foundation and the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation.
"This ****** sment reinforces what we see every day: the Coca-Cola system is deeply rooted in America and continues to deliver meaningful value for the people and communities we serve," John Murphy, president and chief financial officer of The Coca-Cola Company, said in a statement.
The company said its production network spans more than 70 facilities and hundreds of distribution centers across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, with the system's economic contributions exceeding $1 billion in 25 states. The study was conducted by Steward Redqueen.

Antoine Griezmann has hit the ground running with Orlando City, and it comes as no surprise.
The Frenchman joined the MLS outfit in the summer after an illustrious career in Europe, and he has started in fine form.
Since joining the club, Griezmann has bagged eight goals in 10 games and has pushed Orlando into the conversation for a playoff spot.
This evening against Toronto, the former Atlético Madrid man showed exactly why Orlando pulled strings to bring him in.
After a pinpoint Zakaria Taifi cross, Griezmann came flying into frame to throw a boot out and connect with the ball.

Ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season, HoopsHype is releasing rankings at every position. While Fred VanVleet was rated rather low as a point guard, Rockets star Kevin Durant was recently ranked as one of the best in his position. In a list of the top 27 small forwards in the NBA, Durant placed fifth after averaging 26 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.8 ***** ists, 0.8 steals and 0.9 blocks in 78 appearances last season.
The Duke duo of Jayson Tatum and Cooper Flagg were ranked first and second, respectively, before the newest member of the Philadelphia 76ers (Jaylen Brown) came in at No. 3. No. 4 is a much more controversial choice, as Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder was given the nod over Durant despite playing in just 33 contests last year. Kawhi Leonard (Raptors), Deni Avdija (Trail Blazers), Franz Wagner (Orlando Magic), Brandon Ingram (Clippers) and Brandon Miller (Hornets) rounded out the top-10.

ESPN College GameDay hasn't been the same since saying goodbye to the legendary Lee Corso one year ago. The 91-year-old Corso bid farewell to the iconic college football pregame show, but recently reconnected with his good friend Kirk Herbstreit.
This week, Herbstreit revealed that he met up with Corso before the start of the season, and shared some details from their emotional reunion.
In an article with US Weekly, discussed a meeting at the Orlando airport, where he and Corso got some quality time together.
"By the time I landed, there he is," Herbstreit said. "We hugged, embraced. He was emotional because we haven't seen each other in a while. When he cried, it made me cry. Because he's my guy. We were able to hang out for probably 20 or 30 minutes and just kind of get caught up."

DETROIT — His college career unfrozen by a judge, Orlando Lovejoy is headed to the frozen tundra.
Lovejoy, who starred for Detroit Mercy men's basketball the last two seasons, has committed to fellow Horizon League program Green Bay for his fifth and final season of eligibility.
Lovejoy was among hundreds of college athletes from the high-school class of 2022 who were granted a fifth season of eligibility through temporary restraining orders from judges across the country. The NCAA recently announced a five-year eligibility window, starting with the high-school class of 2023.
Lovejoy, 23, was one of the top point guards in the Horizon League the last two seasons, and in 2025-26, he was first-team all-league as he led the **** ans to within a whisker of the league tournament championship and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Lovejoy, a Detroit native, started all 31 games for Detroit Mercy in 2025-26, and was top 10 in the league in scoring (15.8 points), **** ists (3.7) and steals (1.6). He made free throws at an 89.2% clip.
Lovejoy spent his first two college seasons at Eastern Michigan, before transferring to Detroit Mercy after the school hired Mark Montgomery as head coach. He contemplated transferring after his first season at Detroit Mercy to capitalize on NIL opportunities, but he ultimately returned to the **** ans and led them to the Horizon League championship game, in which they led much of the game before falling to Wright State, 66-63.

Regan Hutsell was crowned the 99th Miss America on Sept. 6, and in addition to receiving the prestigious **** le and scholarship money, the Texas native will get the keys to a New York City pad.
Mallory Hudson, the organization's Communications Manager, confirmed to Realtor.com® that this year's prize package includes access to "the Miss America apartment." The residence serves as a luxurious "home away from home" for Hutsell, who will remain based in her hometown of Houston, TX full time.
Miss America 2026—the competition in which the reigning Cassie Donegan was crowned in Orlando, FL last September—marked the first time the impressive perk was offered to a winner.
The dwelling is in the 36-story Chelsea Landmark building, which sits within the vibrant west-side neighborhood of Chelsea, and is described by the organization as "a stunning apartment residence that will serve as the NYC base for Miss America as she fulfills her national duties."
"As the role of Miss America evolves to meet the demands of modern advocacy and media, so too does the infrastructure around her," a statement explains. "We're opening doors to new partnerships, visibility, and moments that amplify our mission on a national scale."

The 2026-27 Atlanta Hawks schedule is finally here, and it looks like a wild ride. Fans can look forward to intense matchups against old rivals and emotional returns to the arena.
I was just sitting on my porch thinking about how fast time flies. It feels like just yesterday we were worrying about last season's injuries. Now, we are already looking at the new calendar and dreaming of wins.
The season starts with a bang on October 21 against the Orlando Magic. This game is more than just a season opener. Per Peachtree Hoops, there is a lot of tension between these two teams.
The Magic have caused some real trouble for Atlanta lately. Two years ago, they caused injuries to Vit Krejci and Larry Nance Jr. in a single game. That was just the start of the mess. Last season, the Hawks actually swept Orlando, but the Magic also managed to sideline Jock Landale. He missed the rest of that season and the playoffs because of an injury. You can just feel that bad blood between these squads.
Then we have November 6, which is going to be a real tear-jerker. The Hawks play the Washington Wizards, and it marks the official return of Trae Young against his old team. Even though he got a video tribute last season, he could not play because he was hurt. Now, he will be healthy and ready to show them what they are missing.

Florida's "Gator Bait" cheer returned on Saturday night at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
Roughly six years after the university banned their longtime chant due to "horrific historic racist imagery" that was ******* ociated with it, Florida brought back the cheer with the Gators band in the first quarter of their blowout 66-21 win over Florida Atlantic on Saturday.
The song and chant returning did not come as much of a surprise. The Florida band had been seen practicing the song ahead of the season-opener, and new Florida president Stuart Bell hinted in June that the chant could be making a return.
"I know there's a lot around the Gator Bait [cheer]," Bell said in June, via the Orlando Sentinel. "It's meaningful to the Gator family. I hope we're able to have some really great conversations around that."
Florida announced in 2020, back when Kent Fuchs was the university's president, that the "Gator Bait" chant would no longer be led by the band at sporting events. The cheer and song had been popular at Florida events for decades, and is often accompanied by the Gator Chomp gesture.

Roughly six years after the university banned their longtime chant due to "horrific historic racist imagery" that was ******* ociated with it, Florida brought back the cheer with the Gators band in the first quarter of their blowout 66-21 win over Florida Atlantic on Saturday.

ORLANDO — Minutes after Jones High School's football team held on to beat rival Evans 12-6 in the Soul Bowl, one Tigers ****** istant coach proudly announced, "Fred Ards has all the tools!"
Ards, a Texas A&M commit ranked No. 10 on the USA Today Florida Network top 100, and the defensive line put on a show in the Tigers win on Sept. 5.
The 6-foot-4 ½, 220-pound four-star edge rusher recorded three sacks — using a different technique for each one — and had at least two tackles for loss against Evans and its Maryland quarterback commit, William Jackson.
"It was a big game," Ards said. "Coach told us to knock these boys heads off. Give it all we've got. Whatever my head coach needs, I'm going to do it for him."
Ards and Jones' vaunted defensive line –— including UCF commit Noah Robinson, West Virginia commit DaJour Webb and Syracuse commit Braylon Otis — made several big plays against Evans.

The Miss America Organization is gearing up to crown its 99th national ******* leholder. But this year, there's more than a sash up for grabs—the winner will also receive a New York City pad.
Mallory Hudson, the organization's Communications Manager, confirmed to Realtor.com® that this year's prize package includes access to "the Miss America apartment." The residence serves as a luxurious "home away from home" for the upcoming ******* leholder, who will remain based in her hometown full time.
Miss America 2026—the competition in which the reigning Cassie Donegan was crowned in Orlando, FL last September—marked the first time the impressive perk was offered to a winner.
The dwelling is in the 36-story Chelsea Landmark building, which sits within the vibrant west-side neighborhood of Chelsea, and is described by the organization as "a stunning apartment residence that will serve as the NYC base for Miss America as she fulfills her national duties."
"As the role of Miss America evolves to meet the demands of modern advocacy and media, so too does the infrastructure around her," a statement explains. "We're opening doors to new partnerships, visibility, and moments that amplify our mission on a national scale."

The University of Florida's athletic program announced a lucrative multi-year partnership with Ripple, a leading provider of blockchain solutions across traditional and digital finance, beginning with the 2026 football season.
As part of the agreement, the XRP cryptocurrency logo will be prominently featured on the field inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at each 25-yard line beginning with the season opener against the FAU Owls this Saturday.
The deal is worth $5 million annually, which is among the largest in college sports, the Orlando Sentinel reports. Ripple will also support financial and technology education for Florida student-athletes and the campus community, covering both traditional finance and digital ******* ets.
"Florida has a long history of embracing innovation and technology to enhance the experience of our fans and advance our programs," said Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin in a statement. "Ripple has established itself as an innovative leader in financial technology, and we're excited to welcome XRP to Gator Nation. This partnership brings together two organizations that think boldly about the future, and we look forward to introducing XRP to our fans."
Last season, Geico Insurance paid $1 million to advertise in each of the Gators' final two home games against Tennessee and Florida State. Florida took advantage of an NCAA ruling allowing field logos to aid athletic revenue as schools prepared to share revenue with student-athletes via NIL.

Big league rosters have officially expanded now that we've reached the month of August. The Cincinnati Reds responded in kind by promoting both Brandon Williamson and Juan Brito earlier on Tuesday, the latter providing depth across the infield as the Reds face something of a short-term crisis there.
Ke'Bryan Hayes resides on the 10-day IL at the moment. Superstar shortstop Elly De La Cruz has a quad strain, and given how much his leg problems sapped his overall production last season the Reds are going to keep him at DH for the foreseeable future until he's absolutely 100%. That means Matt McLain has moved from 2B over to SS, and to compound things Eugenio Suarez has been absent from team activities the last few days as he works towards gaining US citizenship.
So, the Reds need some infield depth. Edwin Arroyo was recalled to help bridge that gap, and Brito will, too, but that only serves to thin the mix at AAA behind them. Cincinnati responded to that cascade of infield inputs on Tuesday evening by signing veteran infielder Orlando Arcia to a minor league deal.
Arcia, 32, began the 2026 season with in the Minnesota Twins organization and hit .271/.300/.354 with them across 50 PA before being released in late July. He posted an .834 OPS with Minnesota's AAA affiliate in St. Paul along the way, but ended up playing in the Mexican League for a trio of games before the Reds scooped him up.
He was an All Star with Atlanta in 2023 and is a veteran of over 1000 big league games, so he'll certainly provide a stable floor of depth across the middle infield even if the Reds are a) going nowhere this season and b) decide to slow the roll of Elly and others as the final month of the season dwindles down. That said, he owns just a career 76 OPS+, so one can hardly expect him to be lightning in a bottle for the club at this time.
