San Francisco legend Steve Young had praises to sing about Brock Purdy following the 49ers' opening 27-7 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Australia on Thursday.
Despite a slow start, Brock Purdy had a great performance leading the offense. He completed 25 out of 34 passes for 205 yards and three touchdowns and one interception. He was active on the ground as well, racking up five rushes for 29 yards.
Young took note of the rushing aspect, discussing it in his appearance on the Rich Eisen show. Having won three Super Bowls throughout his career with the 49ers from 1987 to 1999, it is clear that Young encouraged the star quarterback to be active with his runs.

The NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series returns to action Saturday night as the playoff battle continues at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois.
The Nu Way 225 is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET, with drivers looking to make a major statement as the championship fight begins to heat up. The race will be the second event of the 2026 O'Reilly Series chase.
World Wide Technology Raceway is one of the most difficult tracks on the O'Reilly Series schedule because of its unique layout.
The 1.25-mile oval features different corner characteristics, forcing teams to find a setup that works in both ends of the track. Drivers will also have to manage tire wear, track position and restarts throughout the night.
Gateway is a track where experience can make a major difference. With the championship battle underway, mistakes could become extremely costly.

CANNONSBURG After ninety minutes of intense, goalless soccer, Boyd County coach Levi Pennington still needed five guys for an energized ending.
Ashland and the Lions battled to nil-nil after two halves and two overtime periods. Each player on the pitch had done their part to empower their team, but work remained to determine a victor.
Bracken Peters sent the closing delivery inside the left post and supplied the final point in kicks from the mark for a 1-0 victory over the Tomcats in a 63rd District seeding match Thursday.
"(Thursday night), the (shootout) lineup changed based on how the game was going," Boyd County coach Levi Pennington said, "with body language and players. I felt like some of our guys were more gassed than normal. I pushed them a little further down the list and let their legs get back under them. I told them it's nothing against you, but it's next man up right now."
Ashland's freshman keeper, Karson Freeman, denied Boyd County's first attempt to help the Tomcats grab a quick advantage in the shootout. The visitors' second try clanged off the crossbar, and Zeke Withrow calmly blasted the next shot through to the twine to tie the session.

The Jockey Club Gold Cup, which will headline next Friday's reopening day card at Belmont Park, has reportedly lost one of its biggest stars.
Daily Racing Form's David Grening reported Friday that 2025 Kentucky Derby, Belmont Stakes and Travers winner Sovereignty, who was targeting the Gold Cup coming off of his win in the Whitney last month at Saratoga, has officially been ruled out of the Grade 1, $1 million race.
Sovereignty developed an abscess in his left hind foot a little more than a week ago, which forced the reigning Horse of the Year to miss two planned workouts. Grening reported that trainer Bill Mott hopes to have Sovereignty return to the track by the middle of next week and plans to attempt to train the 4-year-old colt up to the Oct. 31 Breeders' Cup Classic, rather than having him race beforehand.
The absence of Sovereignty means the Jockey Club Gold Cup will no longer feature one of the most anticipated head-to-head horse racing matchups of the year.
Sovereignty enjoys some quiet at trainer Bill Mott's barn on Aug. 9 at Saratoga Race Course's Oklahoma training track. (Skip ****** stein)

Multi-hyphenate comedian, actor and content creator Aaron Branch has big dreams and big ideas. Good thing he has all that storage ******* e upstairs.
Today marks the beginning of Branch's latest stand-up campaign, the Forehead Tour XXL, in Chandler, Arizona. It's been a busy year for the Kevin Langue Show star – this is his second stand-up tour supported by two self-produced comedy specials just in 2026 – but artists with big ambitions don't slow down when their followings are growing even larger than their foreheads.
Most comedy fans who know Branch have seen him on the Rob Lowe comedy series Unstable or dead-center in the eye of the storm on The Kevin Langue Show, a massively popular and mostly improvised YouTube series that combines game show elements with unbridled comedy chaos. Langue just inked a deal to bring his gonzo social experiments to Netflix late last month, and the Kevin Langue Show's massive 5.5-million subscriber count forms a huge part of Branch's own fandom.
But in his solo career, Aaron has branched out into music, long-form sketch comedy and some deeply personal stand-up performances, such as his latest comedy special, The Birth of a Forehead. A fifteen-year comedy veteran, Branch now finds his career expanding in all directions, but, much like his forehead, his body of work can always get bigger.
Shortly before the start of his current tour, Branch spoke with Cracked about his approach to stand-up, his experiences on The Kevin Langue Show and the future of his "forehead-maxxing" journey:

When the NFL released its season schedule in May, the league's calculated risk flashed.
In a vacuum, scheduling the Denver Broncos to face the Kansas City Chiefs for the "Monday Night Football" season opener made perfect sense. Two competitive teams with star quarterbacks and Super Bowl-winning coaches playing a division game? The intrigue was obvious.
But zoom out, and zoom back to May: The schedule-makers were banking on answers yet undelivered. The Chiefs' quarterback, two-time MVP Patrick Mahomes, was still rehabilitating from tearing his left ACL and LCL on Dec. 14. The Broncos' quarterback, Bo Nix, had undergone one surgery after a Jan. 17 ankle fracture and another in April to clean up bone spurs.
Neither injury seemed likely to threaten the quarterbacks' careers. But starting Week 1? Back in May, banking on that was more optimistic than certain.
Fast forward to now, and both Nix and Mahomes are on track to start Monday night after fully participating in their respective training camps. Nix dissolved concerns about his limitations early in camp when throwing a 48-yard pass on the run, Broncos head coach Sean Payton told Yahoo Sports. Nix also played in the preseason.

Jackson, Mississippi, police are investigating the death of Tasia Fortune as a homicide after the 29-year-old Black woman was found hanging from a tree outside an abandoned house last month, the city's police chief said Tuesday.
"Jackson Police Department has been investigating this case from day one as a homicide, until we hear otherwise from the medical examiner's office," Chief RaShall Brackney said at a city council meeting.
Police had previously categorized the case as a "death pending investigation."
With the autopsy results pending, Fortune's family is demanding answers and local officials are questioning the circumstances surrounding the case.
The scrutiny is unfolding against Mississippi's long history of racial violence involving hangings and follows other recent hanging deaths in the state that authorities ruled were suicides.

"People could never imagine that I would lack any confidence or belief in the simple things about who I am. Everything was torn to bits. He leaves a trail of blood," Danica Patrick said on the Sage Steele Show back in May 2025 when asked about her split from NFL star Aaron Rodgers. And now, Rodgers has offered a dramatically different version of their relationship, pushing back on Patrick's account and claiming she was struggling emotionally after retiring from racing. His comments have reopened an old chapter while challenging the story Patrick previously shared publicly.
"I dated Danica. She had just retired. She was depressed and not fun to be around. But I didn't leave her because I was trying to be there and be a good partner. Then it was going a certain direction, obviously. There was no intimacy. There was nothing. And I'm buying a house in Malibu and she goes, 'Would you want to buy it together?' and I said no." Aaron Rodgers recently revealed his side of the story on the Not Just Football with Cam Heyward podcast.
Rodgers and Patrick had known each other for years before their romance became public. Patrick has previously recalled meeting the Green Bay Packers quarterback at the ESPYs in 2012, where Rodgers gave her his email address.
The two remained in occasional contact afterward, although their communication was not always consistent. Their relationship eventually became public in January 2018, following the end of their respective previous relationships.

This week's ETF Zoo crew takes a lay of the land as summer comes to a close and some new and interesting developments crop up. ETF.com hosts Dave Nadig, President & Director of Research, and Sumit Roy, Senior ETF ****** yst, are joined in this episode by Cinthia Murphy, Director of Research at TMX VettaFi, and James Seyffart, CFA, CAIA, Senior Research ****** yst at Bloomberg Intelligence. Together the group talks about some of the big M&A announcements lately, dig into the AI chokepoint perspective, and more.
You can view this episode here or on our YouTube channel or listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
M&A land grab in full swing. Billions in ETF acquisitions, including Victory Capital/First Eagle, Vanguard/Altruist, and more, signal that scale instead of organic growth now drives the industry. The Zoo crew debated whether firms are buying hit products, talent, or distribution, and what could be ahead for the industry.
Leverage and gambling push into new territory. Defiance's hourly-reset leveraged ETFs barely differ from daily resets despite pulling in huge fees, while Korea and ****** an crack down on single-stock leverage entirely. New NHL-linked sports-betting ETFs raised bigger concerns about routing gambling risk through the same rails as retirement savings.
AI concentration is everywhere, even where you don't expect it. Thematic and datacenter ETFs quietly hold the same chokepoint stocks like Micron and Nvidia, sparking debate over whether that's a feature or a vulnerability. However, real revenue growth at companies like Anthropic and OpenAI kept the Zoo Crew from sounding the alarm just yet.

With so many guidelines around saving for retirement — best practices, where to put your savings, and how much to save — it can be difficult to know which path to take.
The advice usually goes something like this: Save a certain percentage of your income throughout your career, and your retirement fund could be somewhere in the millions. T. Rowe Price and Fidelity both recommend that retirement savers put away at least 15% of their income, while Vanguard recommends 12% to 15%.
This all sounds great in theory, but if you're earning an average salary, it could feel like a reach. However, experts say it may not be.
Last year on Instagram, multimillionaire investor and entrepreneur Kevin O'Leary shared the advice he gives his children to keep them on track toward a healthy nest egg.

On August 31, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD), Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO), and Humain announced that their joint AI infrastructure buildout in Saudi Arabia is officially live. The deployment links AMD's Instinct MI355X GPUs and EPYC CPUs directly with Cisco's Silicon One-based 800G switches, giving Humain a foundation to offer GPU-as-a-service across the Middle East. Beyond this immediate launch, the trio plans to deploy up to 250 MW of capacity powered by next-gen AMD MI400 Series GPUs starting in 2027, staying on track for a massive 1 GW platform by 2030.
The milestone highlights how compute and networking have fused into a single market. But financially, AMD and Cisco present two very different investment profiles.
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD)'s Q2 2026 results demonstrated massive top-line expansion, driven almost entirely by data center demand. Revenue surged 50% year-over-year to $11.5 billion, while non-GAAP EPS rose 82% to $1.66. Its Data Center segment alone more than doubled to $6.7 billion (+107% YoY), accounting for 58% of total revenue as EPYC server chips and Instinct GPUs continue to gain enterprise traction.
Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO)'s Q4 and full-year FY2026 report reflected a mature cash-flow powerhouse capturing an architectural transition. Q4 revenue grew 18% YoY to a record $17.3 billion, pushing full-year revenue up 12% to $63.3 billion. Non-GAAP EPS for Q4 reached $1.22 (+23%), with FY2026 non-GAAP EPS hitting $4.33. Cisco logged $9.3 billion in AI infrastructure orders for the fiscal year (up 4.5x YoY) and maintained a non-GAAP operating margin of 35.9%, generating $14.2 billion in annual operating cash flow.
While AMD clearly leads on top-line growth velocity, Cisco holds the upper hand in raw profitability, structural gross margins (66.3%), and shareholder return via capital repurchases and dividends.

After signing what President Donald Trump touted as "the biggest oil deal in world history" to take majority control of 65 billion barrels of proven crude oil reserves in Venezuela, the U.S. Administration is setting its sights on the South American country's potentially vast gold and critical minerals wealth.
The Trump Administration is weighing measures to involve U.S. companies in Venezuela's gold and critical minerals and has held initial meetings with firms to see if there is interest in engaging in the Venezuelan mining sector, sources with knowledge of the plans told Reuters this week.
Securing gold and critical minerals from Venezuela could help the U.S. with its supply of metals crucial for defense technology and applications that don't depend on China. Moreover, greater access for U.S. and Western firms in Venezuela's minerals sector would further undermine Chinese and Russian influence in the country, which the ousted Venezuelan leader, Nicolas Maduro, deposed and arrested by the U.S. in January, had enjoyed.
"We are all watching the oil situation closely and recognize there could be a parallel track with critical minerals," an executive from a critical minerals firm who met with the U.S. Administration about Venezuela, told Reuters.
However, the path to mining Venezuela's minerals would not be as straightforward as it arguably is for the oil reserves. Operators generally know how much crude oil Venezuela has (the biggest reserves in the world), but no one really knows the reserves and mining potential of the gold and critical minerals deposits.

Netskope Inc. (NASDAQ:NTSK) announced its second quarter results on September 2. The cloud and AI-led security and networking company saw a 27% year-over-year jump in its annual recurring revenue that climbed to $899 million. Total revenue for the recent quarter came in at $220.5 million, equating to a 29% growth compared to the same period last year. The company surpassed management's prior guidance across all metrics.

The second quarter strength can be attributed to a robust demand for Netskope One platform. This was further supported by the company's continued organic innovation. Netskope is currently positioned right at the convergence of AI, networking, security, and ****** ytics, which makes strengthen its position as enterprises look for secure AI adoption.

The company also brought enhancements to its NewEdge AI Fast Path capability, which, according to company testing, reduced latency by as much as 90% to popular AI destinations.

While the average personal loan interest rate is 12.21%, borrowers with excellent credit may have access to rates as low as 6.20%.
Credit unions tend to offer the lowest overall borrowing costs, with a national average of 10.72% and a legal rate cap of 18% at federal institutions.
Online fintech lenders advertise competitive rates starting at 6.20%, though maximum rates can climb up to 36% or higher.
Commercial banks remain competitive, with an average rate of 12.06%, but they demand a high credit score and solid work history for approval.
Tracking average personal loan rates can help you benchmark your borrowing costs for major goals like consolidating credit cards, financing home renovations or covering emergencies. Because personal loans offer fixed monthly payments, they are a solid tool for eliminating credit card debt, provided your credit profile qualifies you for the lowest market pricing.

On September 3, a caller asked if UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) has enough profitable growth that they should consider adding it to their portfolio. Mad Money host Jim Cramer replied:
Yes, the answer: it does, it does. You know, I've got to tell you, I thought that last quarter was very, very good. The stock market did not like the quarter as much as I thought it would, but the stock's making a stand here. I think that UNH is good to buy.
Cramer's bullish stance rests on the core strength of the company's financial delivery and improving execution. In its second-quarter 2026 report, UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) posted consolidated revenues of $112 billion and operating earnings of $8 billion. Adjusted diluted earnings per share reached $6.38, outpacing Wall Street expectations by $1.48. Driven by strong performance across both the UnitedHealthcare and Optum divisions, management raised its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $19.50 to $20. Furthermore, the medical care ratio improved to 86.7% down from 89.4% a year prior, showing that medical cost trends and pricing are aligning effectively.
On the other hand, Wall Street remains cautious about lingering cost pressures across the managed care landscape. Even though the medical care ratio improved compared to last year, patients continuing to utilize medical services at a high rate keeps expenses heavy. At the same time, commercial insurance margins are taking longer to bounce back. Adding in tighter payment adjustments for government-backed plans along with heavy spending on tech infrastructure, cautious investors could have reasons to wait rather than chasing the stock higher.
Insider Monkey's data tracking over 1000 hedge funds shows accumulation by major ****** et managers. 143 hedge funds had positions in UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) in Q2 compared to 130 in Q1. Of those funds, Fisher ****** et Management was the top shareholder with nearly 9.1 million shares. The firm increased its position in the stock by 74% in the quarter. Additionally, short interest remains low, with the short percentage of the float sitting at 1.92%, showing a general lack of aggressive bearish bets against the stock.

Barclays raised its year-end S&P 500 target to 7,950 Wednesday, betting stronger earnings and continued artificial intelligence spending can keep the rally going.
The bank lifted its target from 7,800 and raised its 2026 earnings-per-share forecast to $365 from $337, Reuters reported. The S&P 500 was trading around 7,625 Wednesday, leaving Barclays' target about 4% above current levels. The index is tracked by the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY).
Even after the upgrade, Barclays is still one of the more cautious voices on Wall Street. HSBC raised its target to 8,100 Tuesday, while UBS, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup also see the index finishing at or above 8,000.
Prediction traders are more skeptical. Polymarket puts roughly 40% on an S&P 500 finish above 8,000, while its contracts put more combined weight on the index ending below 7,500 than above 8,000.

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.

The last few days have been very productive for Real Madrid, both on and off the pitch. Jose Mourinho's side defeated Inter Milan 2-1 in their opening match of the 2026-27 Champions League, while there have also been major breakthroughs regarding new contracts for multiple key players.
In the last 24 hours, it was revealed that Arda Guler has committed to a new contract, with the Türkiye international set to extend his stay at the Bernabeu until 2032. Fellow midfielder Jude Bellingham is also in the process of agreeing a renewal, as Real Madrid bosses seek to tie down two players that are seen as the present and future of the first team.
Now, there is further good news for Real Madrid fans, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that Thibaut Courtois has agreed to extend his stay at the Bernabeu. The veteran goalkeeper's current deal is due to expire at the end of the 2026-27 season, although he has committed to remaining at the club for at least one more year.
Courtois has been a fantastic servant for Real Madrid over the last eight years. Having joined from Chelsea in the summer of 2018, the Belgian has already racked up 338 appearances across all competitions, and he should significantly add to this number by the time he leaves the club, whenever that may be.
Courtois has already spoken of his desire to retire at Real Madrid, and if he continues to perform at a very high level, there is a good chance that his wish is granted – especially given that the club has yet to secure a long-term replacement. The decision on this matter will come when the time is right, but for now, all that matters is the Belgian shot-stopper will remain at the Bernabeu until the summer of 2028 at the very least.

Ever since Keely Hodgkinson became Olympic champion two years ago, she has not just taken talk of breaking track's longest-standing world record in stride but embraced the possibility.
For 43 years Jarmila Kratochvilova's time of 1:53.28 has stood unbothered, a mark that even World Athletics president Sebastian Coe has previously said he is wishing out of existence following decades of innuendo and suspicion around it being clean.
Now, at last, eclipsing it feels inevitable; although in the **** e of three months Hodgkinson is no longer the favourite to do so.
The summer of 2026 has belonged to Audrey Werro, irrespective of whether the Swiss can round off a perfect season at this weekend's inaugural Ultimate Championships in Budapest.
And while only a fool would write off Hodgkinson becoming the fastest of all time in 2027, the latest rival to have demoted the British superstar to a major championship silver medal seems the most likely.

Every ETF.com fund page follows the same simple pattern: etf.com/[TICKER]. Want the Invesco QQQ Trust? Go to etf.com/QQQ. Want the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF? etf.com/VOO. Each page pulls together the fund's real-time market data, fundamentals, holdings, cost, and **** ysis into one place — so you don't have to hunt across a dozen websites to research a fund. Using QQQ as our example, here's what you'll find.
At the top of every fund page is the live quote — the fund's current price, daily change, and an intraday chart showing how it's moved through the trading day. Alongside it you get the essential trading data: previous close, opening price, volume, the day's range, the 52-week range, and real-time bid/ask prices and sizes. This is the information you need to actually place a trade intelligently — especially the bid/ask spread, which tells you how cheaply you can get in and out.
The Summary Data section gives you the fund's vital statistics in seconds: the issuer (who runs the fund), the inception date (how long it's existed), the expense ratio (what it costs you annually), the AUM (assets under management — a proxy for size and liquidity), the index tracked, the segment, and the fund's legal structure. For QQQ, this is where you'd instantly see it's an Invesco fund tracking the Nasdaq-100. These are the first things any investor should check before buying.
One of the most useful features is the Competing ETFs list. Rather than making you research alternatives on your own, the fund page shows you similar funds side by side — with their AUM and expense ratios — so you can immediately see whether a cheaper or larger competitor exists. On the QQQ page, for example, this is where you'd spot alternatives like QQQM. It turns a single-fund lookup into instant comparison shopping.
Right on the page, the built-in Compare ETFs tool lets you pit the fund against any other ticker — QQQ vs. VOO, QQQ vs. QQQM, whatever you choose — and see the differences in cost, holdings, and performance line by line. It's the fastest way to answer the question every ETF investor eventually asks: "Which of these two should I actually buy?"

The Los Angeles Rams stumbled in the worst way against the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night, losing their season opener, 27-7. It was one of the worst losses in Sean McVay's tenure, making the long flight back to Southern California feel that much longer after a defeat like that.
Three players stood out in a positive way for the Rams, but many of their biggest stars were disappointments in Melbourne.
It's hard to find very many bright spots from this loss, but Corum was one of them. He rushed 10 times for 54 yards, with a long of 13 yards. At one point in the second quarter, he racked up 34 yards on four straight carries, looking quick and explosive through the line of scrimmage.
Some will make the case that he should be the Rams' No. 1 running back, and while we're not quite at that point yet, he did look like the bigger playmaker on the field Thursday.
From the very beginning of the game, Stafford didn't look comfortable. He was holding the ball a second longer than usual, whether it was because receivers weren't getting open or he wasn't trusting what he was seeing. He completed just 15 of 25 passes for 155 yards and no touchdowns with one bad interception when the Rams were in field goal range.
