Tony Hale recalls being compared to David Schwimmer early in his career but not always in a flattering way
Hale struggled with odd jobs and harsh industry advice before landing his big break on Arrested Development in 2003
He earlier credited Henry Winkler as a mentor who showed him success in Hollywood can coexist with kindness
Tony Hale says that when he first started auditioning for commercials as a young actor, he was compared to David Schwimmer — but not always favorably.
Speaking in a recent episode of Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade, Hale, 55, spoke about how he was going on auditions while simultaneously working "every job under the sun, like cater waitering and all this stuff."

Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) has always been an intriguing investment opportunity, but it has consistently disappointed investors in several ways.
The electric vehicle (EV) maker designs and produces some of the most advanced EVs globally but has a growing number of recalls and supplier issues and has struggled to lower costs and build scale to improve vehicle unit economics and gross profitability.

Lucid originally planned to launch its midsize Cosmos SUV EV late this year, although it admitted that production volume would be low until production accelerates next year. To be fair, many investors and **** ysts were skeptical of this timeline, given that its Gravity SUV is still dealing with recalls, supply chain bottlenecks, and production shifts to align with consumer demand.

Tracy Spiridakos recalls her "body flaws" being circled with Sharpie at a modeling agency meeting as a 17 year old.
"They said, 'You have to lose weight here, here, and here if you want to do this,'" she recounted.
The Chicago P.D. star described the meeting as a "gut punch," but says her "very protective" brother swooped in to defend her from the slight.
Before she played tough-as-nails detective Hailey Upton on Chicago P.D., Tracy Spiridakos learned the hard way how strong you need to be to survive a life in the spotlight.
Back when Spiridakos was 17, she won a modeling contest, which meant the Winnipeg, Canada native and one of her brothers packed up and took off for a meeting at a modeling agency. "I got there and they gave me a bikini and told me to put the bikini on and they were going to take some pictures," Spiridakos recalled on Monday's episode of the I've Never Said This Before podcast.

Larry Fitzgerald will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame today, and he'll turn 43 years old this month. It seems safe to say he's done playing professional football.
But don't call Fitzgerald "retired."
Fitzgerald told the Cardinals' website that he never plans to use that word to describe where he is in life.
"I have not committed to retirement," Fitzgerald said.
Fitzgerald recalls hearing his grandfather talk with friends about how when people retire, they give up. And giving up is not something Fitzgerald ever wants to do.

"I hated it," Matthew Pearson recalls of his time playing rugby as a schoolboy. "It was very cliquey and I was always the last person to be picked."
But now, on a warm Wednesday evening, the 40-year-old from King's Lynn, Norfolk, is at a training session with East Anglia's newest gay and inclusive rugby team.
Pearson drives just over an hour every week to take part in the sessions with the Cambridge Yales, which launched in June and is regularly attracting about 40 players from across Cambridgeshire and the East of England.
When taking a break from training at Cambridge Rugby Club, Pearson admits he knew little about the sport before his first session.
"I'm very much learning and I'm definitely enjoying it. The coaches have been fantastic," he says.

Paul Bissonnette has said that the San Jose Sharks secured more than a franchise player when they signed Macklin Celebrini to a record-setting extension. Speaking on the Spittin' Chiclets podcast, the former NHL forward compared the 20-year-old center to one of hockey's greatest players after his historic new deal.
Celebrini signed a five-year, $94 million extension on July 29, carrying an NHL-record $18.8 million average annual value. The contract begins in 2027-28 after the final season of his entry-level deal. It surpassed Leo Carlsson's $18 million AAV and Connor Bedard's $15 million extension signed earlier this summer.

"I would say, 'Thank you, Leo Carlsson offer sheet,' because that kind of set around where he was going to get," Bissonnette said. "But I don't really think it mattered."

Sky Sports's new documentary is stacked with sobering soundbites. In one scene, boxing coach Joe Gallagher recalls hearing a mother ask her son: "Are all the lows worth that one high?" The answer, of course, was "yes". As Gallagher puts it: "Everyone wants their own Rocky story."
But as Sky explores, that doesn't always mean a rousing underdog story. Rocky's sequels showed Sylvester Stallone's character struggling with retirement, and this is the premise of The Final Round.
Releasing on Friday, the film features interviews with former world champions like Johnny Nelson and Josh Warrington, while Gallagher and Dominic Ingle are among the coaches to speak, promoter Eddie Hearn features, and commentator Andy Clarke weaves together themes of "addiction", sacrifice, and ego.

The documentary even includes one of the final interviews with the late, great Ricky Hatton, whose internal fights after retiring matched any that he had in the ring.

Clea Newman remembers her first time volunteering with SeriousFun, the globe-spanning, free camp network for ill children.
It was just the one camp back then — in Connecticut — set up by celebrated actor, activist and American icon Paul Newman in 1988. "My dad said, 'Why don't you go up and volunteer as a counselor?'" she recalls to The Hollywood Reporter. "I never really babysat much. I was a little nervous about it. And he said, 'Just try it.'" At the time, Newman, the youngest of his six children, had a whole career mapped out in law. She giggles thinking about it now. "That ended up not being the plan," she says over Zoom, those signature Newman eyes — piercing blue — twinkling.

So, just as I wrapped up Lupita Nyong'o's The Odyssey press tour, a new look has emerged.

We saw Samantha Morton's after-party look following the New York premiere, but Lupita's had remained under wraps until now.
The actress was spotted heading into the celebration wearing a Carolina Herrera Resort 2026 mini dress embroidered with intricate gold motifs against a black base.
The intricate embroidery has an ornamental quality that recalls the decorative friezes and motifs ******* ociated with ancient Greek art. That may not have been the collection's inspiration, but in the context of The Odyssey, it felt like a fitting visual connection.

Chris Paul recalls the shock he felt from Victor Wembanyama's past as an academy player originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
During one year with the San Antonio Spurs, Chris Paul became a valuable mentor for his younger teammates. He was by far the oldest player on the roster, so he was naturally the leader the players turned to for advice.
The biggest beneficiaries of that were the youngsters from the 2024-25 Spurs team: Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle. In fact, Wembanyama always hung out with Paul, as they even went to France to train. Wemby himself told Paul about his past as an academy player, which left Paul gobsmacked.
As a player who grew up in the United States, Paul had an established path to the NBA. That is playing through high school, getting recruited to play college basketball, and then getting drafted to the NBA. That has been a long-standing path to the league, but the rise of international players has shown there are other ways to reach the NBA.
For a long time, European players have made their way to becoming top players by grinding it out in the EuroLeague and other leagues around the world. In recent years, many European players have gone through the academy system, which helps develop younger athletes to become the best versions of themselves.

Brasada Capital Management, an investment management company, released its Q2 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter is available to download here. The market landscape in the past quarter has been significantly influenced by the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), overshadowing other concerns like geopolitical conflicts. Currently, the AI boom is so substantial that it affects the entire market cycle. Key factors include a 400% increase in memory demand due to AI, a slow supply response that takes years to catch up, and minimal demand destruction. The Fund's investment strategy focuses on essential infrastructure that maintains competitive advantages, rather than chasing speculative momentum. The firm emphasizes secular long-term growth, regardless of which AI technologies prevail. In addition, please check the Strategy's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Brasada Capital Management highlighted Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:FAST). Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:FAST) is a leading industrial and construction supply distributor that offers fasteners, tools, safety equipment, and inventory management solutions. On July 22, 2026, Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:FAST) closed at $45.33 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $52.02 billion. Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:FAST) posted a one-month return of -3.39%, while its shares lost 5.42% over the past 52 weeks.
Brasada Capital Management stated the following regarding Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:FAST) in its Q2 2026 investor update:
"Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:FAST) distributes a wide array of products including fasteners, tools, safety equipment, and janitorial supplies, but at its core Fastenal is an outsourced procurement and supply chain partner for the industrial sector, helping to seamlessly manage customer inventory. Fastenal embeds itself within its customers' operations through local branches, automated industrial vending machines, FASTBins equipped with RFID technology, and dedicated Onsite locations where full-time Fastenal employees work directly on the customer's manufacturing floor. By handling the complexities of sourcing and replenishment, Fastenal ensures parts are always available, allowing clients to focus on their core competencies without the risk of costly production delays caused by a missing screw.
What makes Fastenal a high-quality business is that their customers have come to depend on them for cheap, mission critical parts – any delay or having the wrong type of fastener in inventory can mean millions of dollars in costs for the manufacturers in the form of slowdowns, shutdowns, poor product quality, or recalls. If you're missing a $0.30 screw on a $10K or $10M machine, you're just not shipping that machine, and if you have too many of those screws laying around, you're likely wasting ***** e and money. As such, Fastenal commands premium pricing power, high returns on capital, and reoccurring revenue. On top of that, Fast

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Tuesday that federal officials have brought the multistate cyclospora outbreak "under control," saying investigators have identified the source of the illnesses and implemented recalls, even as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continues investigating the precise source of the contamination.
"We do have the outbreak under control," Kennedy said during a healthcare fraud briefing Tuesday. "We have done extensive forensics, epidemiological forensics and we have identified the source of the outbreak. We, and the companies that are involved, have implemented a recall."
Kennedy's comments came two days after the FDA said an earlier laboratory result indicating a Taylor Farms lettuce sample tested positive for cyclospora should be considered a false positive following an additional laboratory review.
The FDA said it continues investigating the outbreak and collecting product samples. While traceback investigators identified Taylor Farms de Mexico as the supplier of shredded iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants linked to the outbreak, the agency said no product samples connected to the investigation have produced a confirmed positive result for the parasite.

Washington Commanders fans, how many of you actually recall the bouncing seats at RFK?
That's right, some of us old enough do indeed recall RFK Stadium containing some bleacher seats that bounced. There is a film out there that recalls the glory days of those Washington Redskins teams and their avid fan base rocking that stadium, providing a good home-field advantage.
The most memorable moment for me in the bouncing seats was the 1982 NFC Championship Game on January 22, 1983. The Cowboys had beaten the Redskins at RFK during the regular season. But on this day, the stadium was literally bouncing, rocking up and down as Redskins fans urged their team to win a place in Super Bowl XVII, both vocally and physically.
Washington Commanders team president Mark Clouse appeared on 106.7 The Fan with Brian Mitchell and J.P. Finlay Thursday and said, "They are going to be there," when asked about the old RFK containing bouncing seats. Clouse continued, "Only this time, they are going to be structurally sound."
Mitchell, the former standout Washington running back, now laughing, interjected, "The other ones weren't supposed to bounce." Co-host Finlay then inquired of Clouse, "What is the design, then?" To which Clouse replied, "We're working on some technology...part of the art of this is getting the right balance of access with incredible premium experiences."

On Friday, July 3, Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said "I do" in front of a crowd at Madison Square Garden with Adam Sandler as the officiant. However, a classmate of Swift's recalls their teenage years and reveals something about the international superstar.
Speaking with "The Telegraph," Christina Hamilton, a former classmate and friend of Swift's, recounted their high school years.
The interviewer said that she had been told that Swift was a bit of an "outsider" and "wishing that she was dating the football player," though she never actually dated one.
Hamilton said that she never saw Swift in that way. In fact, she (Hamilton) thought she was the outsider and that Swift was the "pretty, popular girl" and added that "everyone loved her," referring to Swift.
Not only that, but Hamilton's read on teenage Swift was that she wasn't really into football players, but of course, didn't exactly know. She also said that it seemed like Swift would be more friends with someone like Kelce. In fact, the guys she was into were "very opposite" of Kelce.

Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) is down nearly 20% from its late-May peak. A weak sales report, uncertainty around tariffs, and another recall largely triggered the pullback. The news wasn't great, but Ford has an unrelated catalyst investors should pay attention to.

Even with Ford Energy's promising outlook, the automaker is still facing substantial headwinds. The EV division will likely post approximately $4 billion in losses this year. As competition increases, the recalls and macroeconomic picture in the U.S. don't make things any easier for the brand.
Ford's stock is relatively inexpensive. Its forward P/E ratio is currently less than 10, and with a $0.60 annual dividend, the 4.25% yield is attractive. Ford's longer-term success will be determined by how well its energy division performs.

Jon Jones claims he meant no disrespect to Alex Pereira with his GOAT necklace video.

Pereira (13-4) looked to create history by winning a third Ultimate Fighting Championship ******* le when he fought Ciryl Gane for interim heavyweight gold at UFC Freedom 250 last month. However, Gane stopped Pereira in the second round.

In the immediate aftermath of Pereira’s loss, Jones (28-1) shared a video of himself sporting a GOAT necklace, drawing backlash for kicking Pereira while he was down. Even “Poatan” was surprised by Jones’ post, considering they have only shared mutual respect in the past.
Jones recently clarified that the video wasn’t aimed at Pereira. “Bones” recalls the Brazilian paying tribute to his late brother, Arthur Jones, after his death last October, and claims he has nothing but respect for Pereira.

He explained that his post was directed at those who claimed Pereira would be the MMA GOAT if he defeated Gane to win a championship in a third weight class. Jones, who is widely considered among the greatest fighters of all time, says that his video was a message to his haters.

He told Red Corner MMA: “I wish Alex all the best though. After my brother died, Pereira came out and had a moment of silence for my brother. And I respect that very, very dearly. And after the fight I made a video that went viral. It was a video of me with a GOAT necklace on. It felt like an attack to Alex. And I wanna say it here that I meant no disrespect to Alex. A lot of people, before the fight, were saying that if Alex wins he is the greatest of all time. And my little video after Alex’s loss was a message to all my haters. It wasn’t directed towards Alex. So I wanna make that very clear. I have nothing but respect for Alex.”

While he didn’t name names, Dana White had claimed that Pereira would be considered the GOAT with a victory over Gane. Jones is amidst a fallout with the UFC after failing to secure a spot on the White House card.

Connor Franta reflects on coming out publicly in 2014, the same year he came out privately to loved ones
His coming out video garnered 12 million views and sparked widespread support from fans and the LGBTQ community
Franta says his YouTube career and personal life were deeply intertwined, making it natural to share his truth
Connor Franta likens his coming out process to his YouTube career: "slow, then all at once," he tells PEOPLE.

In 2014, when he was just 22 years old, Franta posted a video that would then rock the internet community, racking up 12 million views and nearly 160,000 comments.

"2014 is truly the year that I have accepted who I am and become happy with that person, so today I want to talk to you guys about that and be open and honest and tell you that I'm gay," a young Franta, clad in a plaid flannel over a gray shirt, told his audience at the time.

"I hope this doesn't change a thing," he wrote in the caption of the now 12-year-old video. However, like his rapidly evolving YouTube career, things would change — though perhaps not in the way he had braced himself for.
"I came out personally to the first person ever in the same year I came out publicly to my entire YouTube audience," he tells PEOPLE. "So it was a very fast-tracked process. I mean, in many ways that is kind of who I am as a person that once I want to go for something or once I accept something or I have a goal or a mission, it's kind of hard for me to not just seek it out. So I think once I'd come out to one person and then my family and then my friends, it was like, 'Well, why wouldn't I just come out to everyone? This is just what it is.'"

Maybe it was trust in his audience, or just naiveté, Connor says, but it made "no sense" to him to keep facets of himself "hidden" from anyone

He echoes a refrain to PEOPLE: "My life was my career" and vice versa. "I think it was the perfect combination that everything was growing — content was king," he recalls of those golden years of YouTube.

By no means did Franta invent the coming out video, he says, despite the eventual cultural impact his own would have. In fact, he had watched a few before making his own, realizing that it might be much simpler than he had imagined. "I thought, 'Oh, you really just sit down, tell your story and tell everyone and then hope for the best.'"

The response to his video was "unfiltered joy and support," which Franta took for granted at the time. "The fact that I was welcomed, I think that shaped who I am today in many ways, and that my experience could have been completely different."

Roughly a decade ago, investors who either missed Tesla's high-risk, uncertain, rapid-growth phase and high-flying valuation or didn't believe in it spent much time trying to find the "next Tesla." Then many also missed BYD's rapid rise.
Fast-forward to today, and many wonder whether Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN) or Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) could deliver lucrative returns as the electric vehicle (EV) market slowly gains traction in the U.S. market. Some investors compare the two EV makers' top-line growth.

But which of these two, young EV makers is winning the race that actually matters?
Lucid had a ****** py beginning to its history, marred with supplier disruptions and production hiccups, sprinkled with recalls along the way. Then Lucid began smoothing out operations and put together an impressive streak of eight consecutive record-setting quarterly delivery totals. That streak ended, just falling short by a handful of vehicles in the first quarter of 2026, but the surge helped the young automaker match rival Rivian in top-line growth over the past three years.

William Saliba’s (25) loan to Olympique de Marseille back in 2021 changed the course of his career. It not only saw him enter into Mikel Arteta’s plans at ****** nal, but it also led to a call-up to the France national team. As he tells L’Équipe, however, it could have been very different.
Saliba’s season loan at the Vélodrome (2021-22) came following previous spells on loan at formative club AS Saint-Étienne and then at OGC Nice. Neither had allowed him to force his way into Arteta’s plans at the Emirates.
That summer, prior to joining OM, his career had reached a tipping point. Saliba tells L’Équipe that he was told to not even report for pre-season at ****** nal that summer and instead find a club to join on loan. “Arsenal wanted me to go to Newcastle United or Crystal Palace, but I didn’t want to [do that],” recalls the France international.
He continued, “I remember that summer, it was either Lille OSC or Marseille. I was on the verge of joining Lille but there was a financial problem.” It was this financial problem that led him to OM. But Saliba admits that there was initially some reticence.
“Marseille is a big club, but it is scary,” he told L’Équipe. “It was the season where it was a bit crazy, where the supporters had gone to the Commanderie (OM’s training ground). But, with my agent, we said: ‘Marseille, if you go there and have a good season, it is the team in France and things can move quickly. Jorge Sampaoli really wanted me. I went to Marseille and things moved so quickly. I played almost all of the matches. My value rose again. I started having fun again.”

Jalen Thomas Brooks can pinpoint the exact moment his life changed.
At 3 a.m. on May 13, the actor was sitting on a rooftop in New York with his Off Campus costars Belmont Cameli and Ella Bright, waiting for the show to hit streaming. As the clock crept into the morning, their phones started lighting up.
"The notifications on our phones were just ding, ding, ding, ding, ding," Brooks recalls to Yahoo. "The next day, we walked outside, and it was completely different. Ever since then, it's been a little surreal."
The moment isn't lost on Brooks, whose first job was helping his dad build stages for DJs and events around Las Vegas. He's now a fixture on two of television's buzziest shows: Prime Video's hockey romance phenomenon Off Campus and HBO Max's acclaimed medical drama The Pitt.
"It's a beautiful thing," Brooks says.

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — No one ever leading at Shinnecock Hills the last 40 years at the halfway point has won the U.S. Open, a small slice of history that awaited Wyndham Clark. He had a four-shot lead in the fierce wind of Saturday.
Dustin Johnson led by that much eight years ago and that didn't end well.
But it's really not about Clark as much as it is everyone else, and the reminder to fight to the end.
Geoff Ogilvy can speak from the experience of 20 years ago at Winged Foot, where he played the last 12 holes with four bogeys and no birdies and won at 5-over 285. He is the last U.S. Open champion to have never broken par in any of the four rounds.
But what he recalls is a conversation the morning of the final round with World Golf Hall of Famer Judy Rankin, a relative by marriage. She told him: “Everyone wakes up Monday morning, looks at the newspaper and is surprised by the score that won the U.S. Open.”

SpaceX launches rockets and operates the world's largest satellite network. Industrial and telecom businesses typically trade for just 1x to 5x revenue. Yet investors currently value ******* eX at more than 130x trailing sales, a multiple usually reserved for the fastest-growing AI software companies. ******* eX's IPO filing framed 93% of its addressable market as AI, and the market has largely embraced that narrative.

The challenge is that ******* eX's AI story remains largely unproven. Grok has gained traction but lacks the scale and distribution of offerings from Alphabet (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT). Meanwhile, the company spent $12.7 billion on AI infrastructure in 2025 and another $7.7 billion in the first quarter of 2026 alone, contributing to a $1.94 billion operating loss on $4.69 billion of quarterly revenue.
