New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel doesn't have any regrets about his decision to rest the starters during the three-game preseason slate.
However, it was clear that the team showed rust in Wednesday's 13-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, particularly on the offensive side of the ball. Vrabel opted to use the preseason to focus on the roster depth and preserve the health of the starters.
That's a decision that he continued to defend after the disappointing loss in the season opener.
"Playing the backups for the Eagles or the Colts for eight plays, I don't think was going to prepare us for what we saw last night," Vrabel told media members. "I thought we handled the environment; I thought we did. I know the execution wasn't good enough, but the line of scrimmage, penalties, the operation, those things gave us a chance. Some other things didn't give us a chance."

The San Francisco 49ers' first inactive list of the season is out. They'll lean into the veterans on the roster tonight, as every player on the inactive list is on a rookie contract:
QB Kurtis Rourke
CB Ephesians Prysock
RB Jordan James
WR Jordan Watkins
LB Tatum Bethune
OT Enrique Cruz
The 49ers having only two running backs active suggests Deebo Samuel will play a pivotal role out of the backfield. Expect him to be an option still in the passing game, but it likely comes from the running back alignment. If anybody knows how to take on a heavier workload against the Rams, it's Deebo.
It's also a sign that the team is comfortable giving Kaelon black touches. Kyle Shanahan said this past offseason that he regrets not involving more running backs last season. It means you're taking Christian McCaffrey off the field, so it's understandable. Still, the goal is to keep McCaffrey fresh for the last stretch of the season.
With Watkins inactive, Mike Evans, De'Zhaun Stribling, Demarcus Robinson, Jacob Cowing, and KhaDarel Hodge are the wideouts. If Samuel's role is more underneath, we'll see whether that means Cowing has a role as the receiver who stretches the field for the offense.

Pittsburgh Steelers star receiver DK Metcalf was at home when he saw his former team, the Seattle Seahawks, reach the mountaintop after beating the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60.
Metcalf represented the Seahawks for six seasons, standing out as their top receiver. He put together three 1,000-yard seasons, helping them make the playoffs three times.
His time there ended after Seattle sent him to Pittsburgh in exchange for draft compensation during the 2025 offseason. This allowed him to team up with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but it paved the way for Seattle to win its second Super Bowl in franchise history.
Metcalf reflected on the events that offseason during an interview with The Athletic. According to reporter Jonathan Jones, "Metcalf has no regrets about asking a trade out of Seattle. The Seahawks listened partly because they knew a major Jaxon Smith-Njigba payday could arrive soon."
"I live with my decisions every day… they're very well thought-out decisions to where I know the consequences, know my benefits from every decision that I make," Metcalf says. "I got brothers on (the Seahawks), still friends on the team. So I congratulated them, but ****** ody's sour over an ex unless you really miss them. So no, I wasn't sour."

As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle prepare for another chapter in the UK, a new report claimed the Duke of Sussex is holding onto hope that the British public's perception of the couple could still shift. Amid ongoing speculation, an insider offered a glimpse into how Harry feels about his wife's future plans and what it would take for them to be welcomed back with open arms.
According to a source cited by Heatworld, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's time in the UK is expected to be split between duty and family. Harry is reportedly set to continue his longstanding involvement with the Invictus Games, along with charitable causes he has supported for years. Meghan, meanwhile, is expected to travel back and forth between the UK and Montecito. At the center of everything will be the time they spend with their children.
The source also touched on Harry's feelings about Meghan's career. As per the insider, he has never stopped being one of Meghan's strongest supporters. He has also not forgotten the sacrifices she made when she left acting behind following intense media attention on the couple since they went public.
"Harry is cheering her on in a big way," the source told the outlet. "He's happy that she's going to go back to acting because he can see how much just talking about it invigorates her." However, the Duke reportedly still carries some guilt over her decision to leave "Suits" for their marriage. The insider noted, "He knows that was a big sacrifice and it's something he actually regrets going along with, so he'd love to see that put right."
On the matter of public opinion, the source claimed Harry remains hopeful. "He's also still convinced that she can win over the British people under the right circumstances. He and Meghan are both hoping there will be some public efforts from the King – they know that will go a long way," added the insider.

Cleveland Browns legend has 'no regrets' upon retirement from NFL originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Cleveland Browns legend Nick Chubb officially announced his retirement from the NFL after eight seasons.
Chubb played seven of his eight seasons in Cleveland, where he compiled the third-most rushing yards (6,843) and rushing touchdowns (51) in franchise history.
A major knee injury in 2023 kind of derailed Chubb's career and forced him to retire earlier than he might have otherwise. Despite this though, he walks away from the football field with no regrets.
"I say this to all my brothers still on the field, still in the heat of it: There's a life waiting for you after football, too. And health is the real wealth," Chubb said regarding retirement. "I end my career in a great place. Even though there are some things I wish had happened differently, I can say that I have no regrets."

On draft night, he wore a SuperSonics hat. For his NBA debut, he wore No. 0 for the newly christened Thunder. And before long, his number will hang forever wherever the Thunder plays over the decades — as a tribute to one of OKC's greatest players and most beloved sporting icons.
After 17 seasons, Russell Westbrook has decided to call it a career in the NBA. Which makes this the prefect time for a new hardcover collector's book from The Oklahoman — "ZERO REGRETS: The Legend of Russell Westbrook, the Thunder's Mr. Triple-Double."
"ZERO REGRETS" will tell the story of Westbrook's 11 incredible seasons in Oklahoma City, how he ran roughshod over opponents, how he embraced OKC when Kevin Durant turned his back, and how Thunder Nation loved him for 919 games in the blue and orange and every time he returned masquerading as a Rocket, Wizard, Laker, Clipper, Nugget or King.

So now Tommy McClelland wants everyone to know he screwed up. Shouldn't have said it, now regrets it.
Says he shouldn't have insulted rival Indiana when introduced as Purdue's new athletic director.
To this I say: He should've been fired for walking it back.
What are we doing, Purdue? You're dying on the vine in the most competitive conference in college football, and your athletic director claws back a jab at bitter rival Indiana said during his introductory news conference. If that's not bad enough, he does it with a weak statement during the "Pat McAfee Show" on ESPN.
Which is sort of like going to the frat house party, walking up to the Texas Hold 'Em table, and doing your best Kent Dorfman.

David Bentley left ***** nal just a few months after signing a new long-term contract in a shocking move, despite already being tipped to become a hero at the club. Looking back, however, the former winger regrets his decision to leave.
Bentley came through the ranks at ***** nal, where he was considered one of the top young players in the country. There were high expectations surrounding him as he developed, and after several loan spells, ***** nal were ready to give him more opportunities in the first team.
He subsequently signed a five-year contract with the club, but only a few months later, he asked to leave. His impatience stemmed from a lack of belief in the plan ***** ne Wenger had for his career. The Frenchman wanted to ease him into the first team, but Bentley did not trust that approach and eventually secured a move to Blackburn.
Bentley would later move to Tottenham, while many believe he could have achieved more during his career if he had been patient and remained at ***** nal instead of leaving when he did.
He has now explained the decision behind his departure and acknowledged that he may have made the wrong choice. As quoted by Football London, Bentley said:

Bella Thorne survived her Disney Channel days thanks, in part, to costar Zendaya.
In the Wednesday, Aug. 5 episode of "Call Her Daddy," Thorne opened up about the pressures of being treated like an adult as a pre-teen and how she and Zendaya, whom she starred opposite on "Shake It Up" from 2010 to 2013, mended their friendship after being pitted against each other as child stars growing up in Hollywood.
"Thank God," the 28-year-old "Scream" TV actress said of having a confidante in Zendaya during their Disney days, which also included the 2012 movie "Frenemies" and Zendaya's series "K.C. Undercover," in which Thorne made a onetime cameo.
"Zendaya definitely was probably the only person on the [Disney] Channel that I hung out with," Thorne told host Alex Cooper. As the breadwinner for her family, Thorne said she couldn't step out of bounds: "I couldn't afford to make a mistake in that way or be like, 'I'm going to have drama' or revel in anything."

Even as one of the greatest investors of all time, Warren Buffett made mistakes and has regrets. One of those regrets involved Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL), which may sound surprising, given that Buffett mostly shied away from tech investments.
Still, he said in an interview with CNBC that he had "made a mistake" by not investing in the tech giant sooner. Based on Greg Abel's moves thus far as the new CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA) (NYSE: BRKB), however, he's making sure Berkshire won't miss out on any future gains from Alphabet.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Berkshire started its Alphabet position in the third quarter of 2025, purchasing roughly 18 million shares. Following that, as the new CEO, Abel added roughly 40 million shares to Berkshire's holdings in the first quarter of 2026. He then scooped up $10 billion worth of stock in a private placement deal in June, purchasing $5 billion in Class A shares and $5 billion in Class C shares.
Berkshire typically doesn't offer much commentary on its moves. But those investments, with Abel as CEO, still offer valuable insights not just about Alphabet but also about investing broadly in artificial intelligence (AI).

American retirees are looking back on their retirement savings experience and, in big numbers, are expressing deep regrets over not saving enough cash for their post-working years.
That's the conclusion from a new Teachers Insurance and Annuity ****** ociation of America (TIAA) study.
TIAA found that 76% of American retirees regret not starting to save earlier in their lives, while nearly the same amount (71%) wish they'd put away more money overall (1). The report also cited a "striking gap" between retirement and reality, and that variable can bring severe savings shortages to the table. Regrets were particularly common among younger retirees, with the average study respondent saying they left the workforce at age 57.
Future retirees, on the other hand, don't expect to retire until 62.

Heinel pitched gold to State Street (STT) clients nearly 7 years before it broke $3,000, citing broken 60/40 dynamics and U.S. debt debasement.
Heinel dismissed Bitcoin at $500 in 2012, a miss she openly regrets. Had she invested $10,000 then, it would be worth roughly $10 million today.
Diversifiers only work when owned before consensus arrives. Price confirmation is almost always the last signal, not the first.
Act now: the ****** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and State Street didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
Lori Heinel, who oversees $5.7 trillion as Global Chief Investment Officer at State Street (NYSE:STT), has a story that captures the strange asymmetry of great investment calls. She saw gold's structural setup years before the metal broke through $3,000. She also had a front-row seat to Bitcoin at $500 and passed.

Will Smith is one of the biggest celebrities in Hollywood. As the world copes with another Christopher Nolan success with the release of "The Odyssey," it's a good time to look back on the comments he once made, revealing that he was once offered one of Nolan's most famous roles. He turned it down because he didn't understand the plot.

Smith shared this moment last year, on the radio station KISS XTRA. He revealed that the anecdote is not one he likes to discuss often, because he regrets his decision.
"I don't think I've ever said it publicly before, but I am going to say it now because we are opening up to one another," he said with a laugh. "Chris Nolan brought me 'Inception' first and I didn't get it. I've never said that out loud. Now that I think about it, it's those movies that go into those alternate realities that don't pitch well. But I am hurt by those, too… It hurts too bad to talk about."
It's a baffling career move considering Nolan had just come off of directing one of the most beloved action movies in the world: "The Dark Knight."

If you bought a home within the last few years, you might face some mortgage rate regrets. But as everyday people have told me, life doesn't wait for the market. You needed a home at the time you bought it, not before or after when rates were different.
While rates are still relatively high, they've fallen from their peak a few years ago. And if you're looking for a lower monthly payment, it's worth checking if you're paying more than today's average mortgage rate. If you are, a refinance may be on the table.
The math can be complicated, with interest rates, closing costs and amortization schedules to consider. And you can't always count on your lender to do this math for you.
But crunching the numbers is key to making the right refi move. Here's how three homeowners decided it was worth it for them.
When Bob Bradley, a 44-year-old publicist based in Orange County, Calif., married his wife, Kristy Andre, they needed a house to fit their blended family. He sold his 2%-rate condominium to fund a down payment on their family home. The couple bought at a 6.125% rate in June 2024.

The director of the country's premier American history museum said she has no regrets about any of the museum's exhibits during her tenure after an expert confronted her with a "shocking" display that he said smeared Founding Father Benjamin Franklin.
Smithsonian National Museum of American History Director Anthea Hartig faced intense questioning from lawmakers during two Capitol Hill hearings this week. The hearings followed a White House Domestic Policy Council report accusing the museum of using taxpayer dollars and its status as a world-renowned institution to advance a "radical activist ideology."
During a House hearing Tuesday, Heritage Foundation expert Mike Gonzalez testified that a multiyear special exhibit, "The Electric Dr. Franklin," included a display that "pondered whether he had ever done experiments, electrical electroshock on indentured servants or slaves."

Gonzalez testified that the display included this suggestion "without producing any evidence whatsoever," which he called "shocking."

LSU football head coach Lane Kiffin was the main character of the offseason's coaching carousel. With Kiffin's Ole Miss team set for a College Football Playoff run, Kiffin accepted the LSU job, making an unprecedented move. Ole Miss promoted Pete Golding and Kiffin didn't coach Ole Miss in the playoff.
Kiffin's exit was messy. Rumors about Kiffin's future swirled for weeks as Ole Miss was in the midst of an historic season. Florida and LSU were both after Kiffin as Ole Miss offered its own contract extension. The longer Kiffin went without signing the Ole Miss offer, the more evident it became that he was leaving.
Kiffin's depature for one of Ole Miss's top rivals, LSU, created a complicated situation. Most of Kiffin's offensive staff was following him to LSU, but those same ***** istants stayed on to coach Ole Miss in the playoff. Kiffin wanted to coach the playoff and plead his case to Ole Miss AD Keith Carter, which only made the situation messier as it dragged on.
Speaking to ESPN on Thursday, Kiffin said he has some regrets about the way the saga played out.
"I wish I would have gone in when I met with Keith and said, 'I've made the decision to go,' I wish I would have just said, 'Hey, I'd like to coach the team,' and he'd say, 'No.' And I'd say, 'Hey, OK, I appreciate it.' [I wish I'd] move on [and] never even discussed it again," Kiffin said to ESPN.

In XRP news today, David Schwartz, Ripple's CTO Emeritus and co-creator of the XRP Ledger, publicly admitted on July 20, 2026 that he regrets selling XRP at $0.10 and 40,000 ETH at roughly $1.05 each – but he was clear that neither sale reflected a loss of conviction in crypto. Both were products of a rules-based risk-management pact he had made with his wife years earlier.
The admission landed on X under his longtime handle JoelKatz, after another user raised his history of selling XRP at $0.10 and Ethereum near $1.
With XRP price trading around $1.13 and ETH price near $1,927 at the time of the article's publication, according to multiple price feeds, the scale of the missed upside is not hard to calculate.
The central tension this story unpacks: even one of crypto's most technically sophisticated insiders – a man who helped build XRP from the ground up – systematically sold ***** ets that later generated life-changing returns, and he did it on purpose.
Schwartz's explanation centers on an agreement he reached with his wife around 2012, when they discussed a cryptocurrency derisking plan.

Ron Howard has spoken about the "regret" he has over his brother's addiction.
The filmmaker, 72, has told how his younger brother Clint, now 67, began experimenting with drugs and alcohol as a young adult.
"I had been really strictly controlled as a kid. My parents must have been worried about kidnapping and other things," Howard said in an interview on In Depth with Graham Bensinger.
"So I pushed mom and dad. To give him more freedom and more flexibility. And even when Clint was starting to smoke pot and things like that... I wasn't using any drugs, but I had really good friends who were and were highly functional and socially responsible about it. And I just I said, 'You know, this is not, it's not a nightmare. This is changing times, relax,' " he continued.
He revealed that in hindsight, he felt like "a voice kind of telling them to back off as parents," adding if they hadn't been so lenient, "they might have been able to do something." He admitted, "And so those are regrets that I have."
The Rush filmmaker said that looking back, "That was a difficult, heartbreaking time and thing to witness. It was terrifying, and I wasn't sure Clint was going to make it out. I don't think mom and dad were sure he was going to make it out."

Former Obama White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler said she regrets interacting with the late convicted ******* offender Jeffrey Epstein and believes now it was a mistake, according to opening remarks she delivered to House committee investigators as part of a closed-door interview.
"If I knew then what I know now about who Epstein really was, I never would have accepted an initial meeting with him. It was a mistake to deal with him, and I regret it," Ruemmler said, according to prepared remarks provided to CNN. "But many people ******* ume that given everything we know now about Epstein, everyone who dealt with him before his 2019 indictment must have known everything then. In my case, that ******* umption is completely wrong."
Ruemmler was called to testify voluntarily by the Republican-led House Oversight Committee for a closed-door interview as part of the congressional probe into Epstein after numerous news stories scrutinized her ties to the disgraced financier. Reporting from CNN's KFILE detailed the extent of her relationship with Epstein, including that she was among a small group of advisers to help him ward off legal and reputational risk during the final years of his life.
Ruemmler did not specifically address how she sought to help Epstein protect his reputation in her opening remarks but did say, "even though I wasn't his lawyer, he sought my advice from time to time, as many people do. I was friendly with him in that context, and I dealt with him in my ordinary course — casually, informally, and sometimes irreverently." She also said that Epstein was never her client.
She said that she first met Epstein in 2014 — and explained how she came to learn about how Epstein pled guilty in 2008 to charges that included the solicitation of a minor for prostitution along with other offenses and why she continued to engage with him.

Tony Romo has a Cowboys' team-record 248 touchdown passes and ranks second in franchise history with 34,183 passing yards. He won 78 regular-season games.
Romo, now an ****** yst for CBS Sports, did not win a Super Bowl.
He never got closer than the divisional round, even when the Cowboys entered the postseason with home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. In fact, Romo was only 2-4 in four postseason appearances.
If Romo has a regret, he said on Pardon My Take that it's not bringing a Lombardi Trophy to Dallas.
"I'm not a guy with big regrets, I guess you could say. The only regret I guess I would have is that . . . my job was to bring a Super Bowl to Dallas, and I didn't do it," Romo said, via RJ Ochoa of BloggingTheBoys. "So that always sticks with me a little bit. Because you give your whole body, heart, soul, everything into it, and you just wanted that for . . . all the fans, the Joneses, for everybody that you're around. And so that one always sticks with me a little bit just because I had that opportunity and just wasn't able to do it. So that part of it kind of still . . . sits there."

Thomas Tuchel wants England to show bravery and leave the World Cup quarter-final against Norway without regrets as their quest to bring football home continues.
Having started the knockout phase with a scare against the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Euro 2024 runners-up overcame all manner of obstacles to win their last-16 tie in Mexico.
Tuchel says the thrilling 3-2 victory was the "full package of an experience" but that success amid adversity has been left in the rearview mirror as England refocus on Saturday's meeting with Norway.
Heat, humidity and the small matter of keeping Erling Haaland quiet are among the hurdles facing the side in Miami, where the German boss wants his players to step up another level.
"I think in general what it takes in the round of 32 and the round of 16, how we framed it with the team was it's just you find a way to win," Tuchel said ahead of the Hard Rock Stadium encounter.

So this was how it ended for Cristiano Ronaldo. Not with the ultimate glory but a certain predictability. Portugal’s World Cup was curtailed in a manner that was all too foreseeable: with Ronaldo failing to score, with younger men being removed as he stayed on the pitch, with the sense their most famous player had been put before the team, perhaps for one last time.
His sixth World Cup will be his last, he had said. In a career as long as his, history can repeat itself. Portugal went out 1-0 to Spain in the last 16 in 2010. Sixteen years later, the same scoreline sent Spain into the last eight for the first time since their victorious campaign in South Africa. The dead-eyed finish from Mikel Merino won a local derby that was transported to Texas.
Spain were rewarded for managerial intervention, Portugal punished for a passiveness and the preferential treatment afforded to their captain. Luis de la Fuente made the telling substitutions. Both supplier and scorer, Ferran Torres and Merino, were brought off the bench. In a match featuring many an accomplished passer, much the most incisive ball came from the Barcelona forward. The ****** nal man’s clinical finish seemed to catch Portugal unawares, as though they had expected extra time.
So Roberto Martinez’s reign has concluded, leaving one Spaniard in Houston who should harbour regrets. Portugal were spurred into action by conceding against Croatia. The Spanish goal came far later; the sense of drift that had characterised Portugal before then became costly. Apart from a ferocious Nuno Mendes shot, which deflected off Pedro Porro and on to the bar, Martinez’s Portugal did too little, attempted too little. Their only sense of urgency came when the diminutive Bernardo Silva headed over in the 96th minute and Joao Neves wide in the 99th.
Ronaldo had their twin shots on target but just 19 touches and a minimal impact. He is not alone in failing to breach the Spanish defence. No one else has: they are the solitary team in this World Cup who are yet to concede. Unai Simon has not been beaten in his last 609 minutes on the global stage so chances were always going to be at a premium.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo acknowledged that change is scary as he switches teams for the first time after an extraordinary 13-year run with the Milwaukee Bucks.
But ending his career with regrets seemed equally frightening to the two-time NBA MVP.
As his trade to the Miami Heat was finalized on Monday, Antetokounmpo posted a video on YouTube in which he discussed his mixed emotions with former Bucks broadcaster Jim Paschke. He posted a shorter video on social media bidding farewell to Milwaukee.
“I’m scared that the grass is not always greener. … People love me here,” Antetokounmpo said in the interview with Paschke, which lasted nearly 37 minutes. “People respect me here. People allow me to be myself here in the city. And I’m scared that I might never find that ever again.”
But the same unwavering drive that helped him deliver the Bucks their first **** le in half a century caused him to decide five years later that it was time to move on.
