The NFL Players ******* ociation has investigated the circumstances surrounding the recent ACL tear suffered by Panthers linebacker Nic Scourton. And the NFLPA has concluded that the Panthers did nothing wrong.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the NFLPA has reviewed the video of the injury. It confirmed the preliminary conclusion that it was simply an unfortunate injury.
The issue became a proper subject of curiosity given the negotiated limits of the five-day acclimation period. Among other things, it mandates no contact during practice.
Ultimately, it's one of the basic realities of training camp. A season-ending injury can happen at any time, to any player. And any one injury could potentially alter a team's prospects for the season.
Depending on the player and the team, it could alter the entire landscape of the coming season.

Donald Trump's wife, Melania Trump, has skipped yet another important event. The First Lady was noticeably absent from Lindsey Graham's funeral, sparking strong reactions from netizens. Previously, Melania was not present at the recent White House Correspondents' ****** ociation Dinner as well.
Late U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham's funeral service was held on July 28 at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. It was attended by President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Eric Trump, Lara Trump, and more. However, First Lady Melania Trump was absent from the service.
The no-show has since sparked backlash among netizens, raising questions about why she wasn't present. One social media user reportedly commented, "Why wasn't Melania there? What a disgrace," while another wrote, "Melania, you should be at the funeral. What's wrong not at dinner and now" (via The Mirror US).
Graham, the former Republican representative for South Carolina, passed away on July 11 following a "brief and sudden illness." According to preliminary findings, Graham died suddenly from a likely aortic tear at his Washington residence. An official statement from his office shortly after his death read, "Senator Graham's family appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period."
Trump delivered an eulogy at Graham's funeral service, honoring the late politician. The president called Graham a "true American original, who left us much too soon." Trump added, "No matter how heated things got in Washington, virtually everyone — Republican or Democrat — liked Lindsey."

The preliminary fiscal Q4 2026 update from Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI), which was announced on July 21, serves as a case study in the distinction between a discounted valuation and a 'value trap'. The server manufacturer announced more than $60 billion in new orders during the quarter, a record backlog, and guided gross margins to 15-17%, nearly doubling its previous 8.2-8.4% prediction, citing a better customer and product mix.
Revenue is still expected to be near the low end of its $11-12.5 billion guidance range, below the roughly $11.67 billion ****** yst consensus, though shares rose as much as 20% on the news, with margin and order data clearly outweighing the top-line miss for investors focused on where the business is going.
For the broader technology ecosystem, Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI)'s order increase is an important indicator of downstream artificial intelligence hardware demand. Since Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) bases its high-performance server clusters on NVIDIA GPU architectures and has historically contributed roughly 9% of NVIDIA's total revenue, the $60 billion order intake provides solid proof that hyperscaler AI infrastructure spending remains strong. At a time when macro experts have questioned the ability of major cloud providers to continue multibillion-dollar capital expenditure cycles, Super Micro's record backlog indicates that customer demand for liquid-cooled AI computing racks is increasing rather than decreasing.
However, Super Micro's own history is why the stock's price can't be evaluated the same way a clean order-book beat generally is. Back in March 2026, federal prosecutors unveiled an indictment charging co-founder and board member Yih-Shyan "Wally" Liaw, along with two other individuals ****** ociated with the company, with collaborating to smuggle $2.5 billion in NVIDIA-powered AI servers to China in breach of US export regulations. Shares plunged more than 28% in a single day as a result of the announcement, and one ****** yst reported by Yahoo Finance at the time described the company as "uninvestable."
That history is reflected in how cheap the company has become, despite the solid order data: Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) trades at a forward P/E ratio of approximately 9x, less than half the hardware sector median of about 24x, and a PEG ratio of around 0.4, both of which would ordinarily indicate serious undervaluation.

The Seahawks' contract standoff with Leonard Williams just took a new turn originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Seattle Seahawks star defensive tackle Leonard Williams is entering the final year of his current contract, but the two-time Pro Bowler isn't letting ongoing extension talks distract him from preparing for the 2026 season.
Williams confirmed Tuesday that his representatives and the Seahawks have had preliminary discussions about a new deal, though nothing has been finalized.
"There's been a few conversations, but nothing set in stone," Williams said.
The 32-year-old veteran is in the final season of the three-year, $64.5 million contract he signed in March 2024, just months after Seattle acquired him from the New York Giants during the 2023 season. Under the Seahawks' long-standing policy, players are not eligible for contract extensions until they have one year remaining on their current deal, making Williams eligible for negotiations this offseason.

Detroit — Barring any unforeseen, last-second snag, Javier Báez is back.
"I'm anticipating him being available to us today in the big leagues," manager AJ Hinch said on his weekly segment on MLB Radio.
Báez, 33, hasn't played since severely spraining his ankle ducking and half-sliding trying to avoid a tag at first base in the Tigers' 5-2 loss at Atlanta on April 28.
"I don't know how I didn't break it," Báez said that night after preliminary imaging showed no fracture.
But it was a high-ankle sprain and the recovery process was slow. After having to be shut down from baseball activity for a stretch last month, he's been on a fast track back. He made two rehab starts at Low-A Lakeland before being transferred to Triple-A Toledo over the weekend.

Honda Motor and Nissan Motor plan to collaborate in the development of a new software operating system (OS) for their next-generation vehicles, as the two ****** anese automakers look to cut vehicle development and production costs amid intensifying global competition, according to local reports citing a source familiar with the matter.
As the automotive industry moves towards software-defined vehicles (SDVs), software and electronic hardware account for an increasing proportion of the cost of a vehicle, as advanced driver ****** istance systems (ADAS), autonomous driving, connected technologies, and AI ****** istants become core features in next-generation vehicles.
Nissan and Honda, which pulled back from a full merger in early 2025, have been discussing collaboration in a number of areas, including SDVs, and EV batteries and powertrain components.
These latest reports suggest that a new OS, which serves as the brain of a vehicle, will be developed based on Nissan's existing OS. The two companies also plan to share key electronic hardware, including electronic control units (ECUs), with a formal agreement expected to be announced next month.
The decision to standardise software and electronic hardware was apparently made following recent progress in preliminary joint development.

Burke, 21, has pleaded not guilty to charges of murdering and ******* ually abusing her.
Burke is scheduled to be charged on 31 August. The trial is to start within 90 days of that date.

Jose Delgado is ready to test himself against higher-ranked opposition.
Delgado (12-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) thinks it's time to get a bigger name following his latest win. The MMA Lab product beat fellow featherweight prospect Austin Bashi (14-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) with a unanimous decision this past Saturday on the UFC Fight Night 281 preliminary card in Oklahoma City. The win gave Delgado a two-fight winning streak after a decision loss to veteran Nathaniel Wood.
"I've always rated Nathaniel Wood very highly," Delgado told MMA Junkie. "I think he's a guy who hasn't gotten the opportunities to move up the ranking, but I think skill for skill he deserves to be up there. So skill for skill, I'm ready to compete with them all. I like the idea of a Steve Garcia or an Aaron Pico, I like the idea of that type of range of fights, and I think that's pretty realistic to what I can get, so I'm looking forward to those opportunities in the future. Yeah, somebody in those ranges would be sick."
Being a Mexican-American and living and fighting out of Arizona, many think a return at this year's Noche UFC would be perfect for Delgado. Noche UFC takes place Sept. 12 at the Diamond Desert Arena in Glendale, Ariz.
Delgado would love to participate on that card, and wouldn't say no if a name of interest came up, but he admits the timeline is looking tough.

A Connecticut police officer repeatedly ordered a man to drop a baseball bat before opening fire as the suspect continued bludgeoning a motionless man in the head, newly released body camera footage shows.
The footage, released this week by the Connecticut Office of Inspector General, captures the July 19 encounter in Meriden that left two men dead, including 38-year-old Robert Lee Jenkins III, who investigators said was shot by a responding officer while carrying out the attack.
According to the inspector general's preliminary report, Meriden Officer Anthony Offiaeli arrived at a home on Sagamore Road shortly after 10 a.m. and found Jenkins "bludgeoning" a man lying motionless on the front lawn with a baseball bat.

With a year-to-date (YTD) of over 23%, Energy Transfer (ET) is outperforming the S&P 500 Index ($SPX) by a big margin this year. In my previous article, I noted that ET could deliver decent returns in the medium term and discussed the possibility of a rally in Q4 2025. The stock has since risen over 20% even as the gains have come this year instead of in the final quarter of 2025 as I had expected. Nonetheless, with ET stock now up significantly from its 2025 lows, let's explore whether it is still a buy or if it's now too late to enter this midstream energy company.
To begin with, let's look at ET's dividend, as it is among the key metrics to watch for midstream companies that are known to pay fat dividends. The company increased its quarterly dividend by 3% to $0.3350 per share in January. The increase was towards the lower end of the 3%-5% annual dividend growth that ET is targeting. Currently, Energy Transfer offers a dividend yield of 6.6%, among the highest in the midstream energy **** e.

GLENDALE, ARIZONA - JANUARY 08: Trinidad Chambliss #6 of the Ole Miss Rebels scrambles with the ball out of bounds defended by Jaboree Antoine #16 of the Miami Hurricanes in the fourth quarter during the 2025 College Football Playoff Semifinal at the VRBO Fiesta Bowl at State Farm Stadium on January 08, 2026 in Glendale, Arizona.

For the past three seasons, no Southeastern Conference team has played in the College Football Playoff championship game. It is a sore subject in a league that had previously won four consecutive national ***** les from 2019 through 2022. This season, the SEC could again have a team playing for the championship, as several top teams have returning quarterbacks.
The SEC had eight quarterbacks in the top 19 of The Athletic’s recent rankings, including six who started for their teams last season in No. 1 Trinidad Chambliss (Ole Miss), No. 7 Arch Manning (Texas), No. 11 Gunner Stockton (Georgia), No. 13 Marcel Reed (Texas A&M), No. 16 John Mateer (Oklahoma) and No. 18 LaNorris Sellers (South Carolina). The other two highly-ranked SEC quarterbacks are transfers in No. 8 Sam Leavitt (LSU) and No. 19 Byrum Brown (Auburn).
Chambliss is coming off the best season of any SEC quarterback, as he led the Rebels to the CFP semifinals. Although Chambliss wasn’t supposed to start and came from Division II Ferris State, he took over the starting job in September and threw for 3,937 yards and 22 touchdowns and ran for 527 yards and eight touchdowns. In three CFP games, he completed 67.9% of his passes for 921 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions.
In February, a Mississippi judge ruled in Chambliss’s favor, granting him a preliminary injunction in a case against the NCAA and giving him another year of eligibility. After finishing eighth in the Heisman Trophy voting last year, he should contend for the award this year. He will be among the most hyped players this season, especially when Ole Miss on Sept. 19 hosts LSU, whose coach, Lane Kiffin, coached at Ole Miss for six seasons before leaving last November before the CFP began.

The crowd that crows about college football chaos compelling Congressional intervention will love this one, even if it's not much of a surprise.
Earlier this week, former Texas offensive lineman Cole Hutson secured a temporary restraining order allowing him to return to college football despite entering the draft, not being picked, participating in the Browns' and Cowboys' rookie minicamps, and not being signed by either team.
Via Pete Nakos of On3.com, a Texas judge granted the request for extra-extraordinary relief — one that often is presented and decided without the defendant having a chance to be heard. The next step will be a hearing on a motion for a preliminary injunction, which would extend the TRO through the resolution of the case.
It's very hard to secure a TRO. Hutson's success suggests that he'll also get a preliminary injunction at the hearing set for August 3.
Hutson's case follows a recent ruling by an Ohio judge granting a preliminary injunction to 24 athletes based on an age-based eligibility model for a fifth year. Hutson has played four years of college football, appearing in 48 games and making 23 starts.

Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) gave investors conflicting figures in its Q4 preliminary update on July 21. Fiscal Q4 revenue is expected near the bottom of its $11 billion to $12.5 billion guidance, below the $11.67 billion **** yst consensus, yet shares jumped 17.5% after hours. Our take is that the market was not celebrating sales; rather, it was repricing how much profit Supermicro might extract from them.
Supermicro now expects both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins of 15% to 17%, almost twice its previous 8.2% to 8.4% forecast. At $11 billion of revenue, the new range implies roughly $1.65 billion to $1.87 billion of gross profit, compared with $902 million to $924 million under the old forecast. Even the low end of the new range exceeds the high end of the old one by about $726 million.
The reversal follows gross margins of only 6.3% in fiscal Q2 and 9.9% in Q3. Management attributed it to favorable customer and product mix. That can explain one quarter, but not yet a durable change. Mix can reverse quickly.

Supermicro received more than $60 billion of new orders during fiscal Q4 and ended the year with record backlog. The orders are expected to ship over future quarters, giving the company strong demand visibility despite revenue landing near the bottom of its current-quarter guidance. Supermicro's immediate challenge would be converting high demand into revenue without sacrificing its improved margins.

Super Micro Computer says that business is booming and profitability is improving. Investors like the sound of that.
Shares of Supermicro (SMCI), as the company is commonly known, jumped 22% to $31 in early trading Wednesday after the server maker said it expects to report gross margins of between 15% and 17% for its fiscal fourth quarter, which ended on June 30. That's a steep increase over the company's previous guidance of 8.2% to 8.4%.
In a preliminary business update released late Tuesday, Supermicro estimated that revenue for the quarter will be closer to the low end of its previous forecast range of $11 billion to $12.5 billion. However, the company said that new orders in the period exceeded $60 billion, putting its backlog at a record level, indicating that the outlook for the coming quarters is strong.
The rosy view on margins from Supermicro gave shares of rival server makers a boost in early trading Wednesday. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) rose 5%, while Dell Technologies (DELL) jumped 8%, on an otherwise sluggish morning for U.S. stocks.
Coming into Wednesday's session, Supermicro shares had lost nearly 50% over the past year. The stock, which traded above $110 in early 2024 amid optimism about the role the company would play in the AI data center boom, has slumped in recent years amid investor concerns about accounting irregularities and corporate governance.

Santiago Ponzinibbio is on the verge of hitting a big milestone in his fighting career. Saturday, the Argentinian will compete in his 40th professional MMA fight – a number few reach in their careers.
"Yeah, I did know that, and that's without counting the fights from 'TUF,' which were four," Ponzinibbio told Hablemos MMA in Spanish.
Ponzinibbio (30-9 MMA, 12-8 UFC), a longtime welterweight, returns against Sam Patterson (14-3-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC) on the preliminary card of UFC Fight Night 282 (Paramount+) at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Ponzinibbio revealed this wasn't the original matchup, but in a way, he's glad he drew a younger opponent, as he gets an opportunity to show he can hang with newer talent.
"I was supposed to fight Jack Hermansson, but he ended up getting injured, and I was offered Patterson," Ponzinibbio said. "It's a much different challenge, but it is still a challenge. It's one of those clashes of generations that the company likes to make, and it's a great opportunity to show that I'm still good and relevant and that I can hang with the new generation. I'm not focused on him. I'm focused on me."
Apart from competing in his 40th fight Saturday, Ponzinibbio is also just weeks away from his 40th birthday. He knows he's reaching the end of his fighting days, but retirement is not something he thinks about much.

Auburn forward Keyshawn Hall signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Miami Heat shortly after the conclusion of the 2026 NBA Draft and would go on to play in five games with the Heat as part of the NBA Summer League earlier this month.
Usually, playing in the NBA Summer League is a clear sign that a player has exhausted his collegiate eligibility and has shifted focus to a professional career. However, that may not be the case for Hall.
Joe Tipton of On3 reported Thursday that Hall has been granted a fifth season of eligibility through a preliminary injunction, and will explore the possibility of signing with another program for his final season of eligibility.
The ruling most likely stems from the new NCAA eligibility ruling, otherwise known as the "5-for-5" ruling that allows athletes to play their respective sport for five seasons beginning when the athlete enrolls with a university as a full-time student, or the start of the academic year following the athlete's 19th birthday, whichever comes first. The rule allows student-athletes to compete for five seasons, virtually eliminating traditional redshirt rules and medical hardships.
If Hall signs with a program, it will mark the fifth program he has played for in five seasons. He signed with Auburn through the transfer portal last offseason after leading the Big 12 in scoring at UCF as a junior. Before his time in Orlando with the Knights, Hall started 28 games for George Mason after starting his career at UNLV.

Norway's crude oil production beat official forecasts in June as offshore fields returned from seasonal maintenance, delivering a stronger-than-expected increase in supply at a time when global markets remain focused on disruptions to Middle Eastern exports.
According to preliminary figures released Tuesday by the Norwegian Offshore Directorate (SODIR), Norway's crude oil production averaged 1.827 million barrels per day (bpd) in June, exceeding the agency's official forecast while rising sharply from 1.677 million bpd in the same month last year.
The stronger-than-expected output reflects the return of key fields from seasonal maintenance and continued strong operational performance across the Norwegian Continental Shelf, reinforcing Norway's position as one of Europe's most reliable oil suppliers.
Including natural gas liquids (NGL) and condensate, Norway's total liquids production reached 2.022 million bpd, up from 1.909 million bpd in May, marking a month-on-month increase of approximately 113,000 bpd.
Natural gas production also recovered after seasonal maintenance. Gas sales totaled 10.0 billion standard cubic meters (Sm³) in June, up from 9.4 billion Sm³ in May, as Norwegian exports continued to underpin Europe's energy security following the sharp decline in Russian pipeline gas deliveries.

The New York Mets are heading towards the August 3, 2026, MLB trade deadline as clear sellers. It's not what the Mets wanted to be, but selling is the only real course of action at the deadline that makes sense for the franchise.
As sellers, the Mets are sure to field plenty of trade interest in Freddy Peralta, Clay Holmes, Luke Weaver, Francisco Alvarez, A.J. Minter, and Brooks Raley. But an unexpected name has popped up as someone already garnering interest.
According to Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic, the Mets are seemingly garnering interest in $70 million, .628 OPS outfielder Luis Robert Jr. ahead of the deadline. This is an unexpected, but welcome, development for the Mets.
"Mets center fielder Luis Robert Jr., who just returned from the injured list Monday after missing more than two months with a spine issue, is generating preliminary trade interest from multiple teams, according to a person briefed on the situation," Sammon and Rosenthal report.

Singer-songwriter D4vd is set to appear in a Los Angeles courtroom on Tuesday as prosecutors aim to prove sufficient evidence exists for him to stand trial for the murder and ******* ual abuse of a minor, Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
The preliminary hearing is expected to conclude on Thursday. The proceeding follows several delays in the case, in part due to the voluminous amount of investigatory evidence.
Los Angeles county prosecutors accuse the musician, born David Anthony Burke, of stabbing Hernandez to death at his Los Angeles residence last April to silence her from divulging the ******* ual nature of their relationship as his career was burgeoning, according to court documents.
Prosecutors say they began a ******* ual relationship in November 2023, when Burke was 18 and Hernandez was 13.
Burke allegedly mutilated her deceased body, sawing her limbs with a chainsaw and amputating her ring finger, which had a tattoo of his name, before discarding her dismembered limbs in a Tesla, per court documents.

Legacy tech giants like International Business Machines (IBM) rarely generate any dramatic market reactions. However, its preliminary Q2 results triggered a sharp selloff, with IBM shares down roughly 26% in the last five days and 28% year-to-date (YTD), underperforming the overall market.
IBM traces its roots back to 1911. As a tech dinosaur, IBM has spent decades not going extinct. The company has worked hard to reshape itself from a legacy hardware company into one driven by software, consulting, and AI-powered enterprise solutions. So, it is natural for investors to react negatively when software growth slows down, as reported in its preliminary Q2 results on July 14.
