EDINBURG, Texas (AP) — Quinten Martinez, pumping gas under a hot South Texas sun, remembers a time when fueling up didn't require difficult decisions.
"Is it going to be groceries this week?" asked the 28-year-old Amazon delivery driver as he watched the numbers tick higher. "Is it gonna be getting gas in our tank to go to work?"
He shook his head when asked about President Donald Trump's **** ertion last week that higher gas prices are a small price to pay for the war with Iran.
"I don't feel like it's a good trade-off," Martinez said. "I don't feel like this is good for anyone."
Voters across the country, and across the political spectrum, tend to agree.

It's just one game.
Let's keep this in mind as we start to examine the Texas Tech football team's 33-10 win over Abilene Christian. By all accounts, the game was relatively boring, a workmanlike victory for the Red Raiders to knock the cobwebs off and start anew.
Each season is a snowflake, no two ever exactly alike. However, when some problems trickle over from one season to the next, with entirely new personnel between the individual units, it's fair to wonder what the deal is.
Texas Tech operated functionally on offense, putting together back-to-back methodical drives to open the game. Rushing touchdowns by Quinten Joyner (on his first official touch as a Red Raider) and J'Koby Williams made it seem destined for another tail-whooping of the Wildcats.
While the outcome was never in question, there were no offensive fireworks until Malcolm Simmons got by an ACU defender late in the fourth for a score. Offensive coordinator Mack Leftwich called a conservative game, mixing the run with the pass and moving the ball down the field, usually without much resistance from the ACU defense. It was the small plays that wound up garnering Tech 471 yards of total offense. Only a few deep throw attempts from Will Hammond, who was more than happy to check it down to Williams as often as possible with nothing open.

Crystal Palace have signed Netherlands international midfielder Quinten Timber (25) from Marseille, both clubs have announced. Jurriën Timber's twin brother has signed a five-year deal with the Eagles. Palace have struck a reported €20m agreement with OM, who were in dire need to free up funds through player sales. Les Phocéens have gone the entire summer transfer window without making a single signing. Having joined OM from Feyenoord for €4.5m last winter, Timber has made 17 appearances in the white and blue since his arrival.
The 13-capped Netherlands international was part of Ronald Koeman's 2026 World Cup squad, and featured twice for his national side in America this summer. "With vast experience of representing his club and country at the highest level, Quinten is a player whose leadership, tenacity and ability we are confident will flourish in the Premier League", said Palace chairman Steve Parish. Timber could make his Premier League debut this weekend against Fulham FC.

The 2026 summer transfer window closed this Tuesday in Europe. Several last-gasp deals were made official... or collapsed late last night or overnight, while we were all already asleep.
OneFootball brings you a recap of the major announcements from the night:
- Double thunderbolt for Monaco! Lamine Camara will ultimately not be joining Chelsea, just as Folarin Balogun will not be signing for Everton either! AS Monaco cancelled the deal for the Senegal international just when they thought they had finally managed to sell their American striker. Chelsea are furious, and the Monégasques have just waved goodbye to around €100 million. (Fabrizio Romano, RMC, Foot Mercato)
- After an endless saga and absurd twists and turns, Malick Fofana has finally signed for Sunderland. The transfer fee is estimated at €35 million including bonuses.
- Quinten Timber has left OM for Crystal Palace in a deal estimated at €20 million.

Talks between Olympique de Marseille and Crystal Palace for the transfer of Quinten Timber resumed on transfer deadline day. The Dutchman now looks set for a move to Selhurst Park, as per a report from RMC Sport.
Believing that the depth and quality of their midfield is sufficient, OM's management – who continue to seek funds to meet the financial constraints imposed by the National Directorate for Financial Control (DNCG) – are said to have opened the door to the departure of the Dutchman.
Talks regarding a transfer worth over €18m have been ongoing, alongside those being conducted by the Eagles – as well as Sunderland – in an attempt to finalise the deal for Malick Fofana (21). The Belgian could instead now be heading to the Black Cats.
Having joined OM from Feyenoord for €4.5m last winter, Timber has made 17 appearances in the white and blue since his arrival. RMC Sport now understands that Timber is close to completing a move to Crystal Palace with little time remaining before the closure of the transfer window.

Golden State reserve center Quinten Post is quietly accruing interest from a few teams out there after receiving a qualifying offer from the Warriors. He's not nearly as essential to competing in the top-heavy West as Kristaps Porziņģis. Post, after all, is currently only slated to be Golden State's third big man behind Porziņģis and Al Horford. Yet he does have some big fans within the organization thanks to his play as a spot-starter over his first two seasons as a Warrior.

Ronald Koeman has resigned as Netherlands manager after their World Cup exit.
The news came as it emerged earlier on Tuesday that Dutch players who missed penalties were racially abused online.
Koeman's side were knocked out by Morocco in a last-32 shootout after a 1-1 draw in Monterrey.
Justin Kluivert, Quinten Timber and Crysencio Summerville all missed their efforts and were subjected to discriminatory, racist and hateful comments on social media, said the Royal Dutch Football ***** ociation (KNVB).
Koeman, 63, has stepped down from his second spell in charge of the national side and hinted that he may have ended his managerial career altogether.

Key midfielder Frenkie de Jong is a doubt for the Netherlands' World Cup group match against free-scoring Sweden on Saturday after colliding with a team-mate, coach Ronald Koeman said.
Speaking on the eve of the clash in Houston, Koeman said Barcelona star De Jong was hurt in a collision with fellow midfielder Quinten Timber.
Timber, who came on as a substitute in a 2-2 draw against **** an in Texas, is definitely out with mild concussion.
Koeman bristled when asked to give more details, particularly over the precise injury De Jong suffered.
De Jong played the whole of Sunday's entertaining stalemate with **** an.

Coming into the World Cup, Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman was already under pressure from media and fans. His loyalty to some players at the expense of others was questioned, although in fairness to Koeman he had called up some players outside of his usual favourites. One of this, Crysencio Summerville, scored a wonderful goal to give Oranje a 2-1 lead over ******* an in their opening game. However, Koeman then took Summerville off, a move that has received criticism from fans and media alike.
Just six minutes after taking a 2-1 lead, Koeman moved to replace Donyell Malen, Summerville and Tijjani Reijnders with Memphis Depay, Teun Koopmeiners and Quinten Timber. Of those changes, Depay and Koopmeiners have been the ones focused on by fans. Given that this defaulted the Dutch to sitting in and absorbing ******* anese pressure, the side suddenly had no out ball, with Summerville and Malen having shown the ability to stretch the ******* anese defence. When Nathan Ake replaced Ryan Gravenberch, it was clear that Koeman was looking to hold on to the lead.
Unfortunately for the Netherlands, the side were unable to hold on. NEC Nijmegen forward Koki Ogawa came off the bench to head a corner against his teammate Daichi Kamada and into the net late on.
Japan were always going to be the toughest game for the Netherlands in the Group Stages, but the performance left a lot to be desired and has heaped even more pressure on Koeman. Next up is a clash with a Swedish side who just hammered a poor Tunisia, before a final group match against the North Africans to end the group. Failure to beat Sweden could heap plenty of pressure on the Dutch, but realistically they should make it through to the next round of the World Cup with a victory over Tunisia in the final game. Four points in this format will almost certainly be enough to qualify for the next round.
