In Trent Dilfer's coaching return to Lipscomb Academy and TSSAA football, the Mustangs were inches short of a season opening upset.
McCallie's defense stopped Lipscomb Academy at the goal line on 4th and goal to preserve a 27-24 overtime victory on Aug. 21 in Chattanooga.
Lipscomb Academy twice appeared close to scoring on the overtime possession but were denied. On third and goal, Turner White carried inside the 1-yard line but was ruled short. Duke commit Mikel Stephens was stopped inches short on a fourth and goal carry in the game's final play.
And while the Mustangs will drive back up Interstate-24 with a 0-1 record, it was a huge effort against a Division II-AAA power in Dilfer's return after three seasons at UAB.
The Mustangs led 17-7 in the second quarter after a 78-yard touchdown catch by Jaxon Spencer via a reverse pass. But the Blue Tornado slowly chipped away at the deficit.

On August 13, Golar LNG (NASDAQ:GLNG) used its second-quarter earnings call to announce a fourth floating LNG unit, an order signed just hours before the call began. The Mark II vessel will be built at CIMC Raffles Shipyard in China and delivered within 2029, making it the earliest available liquefaction capacity anywhere in the world. Combined with an EBITDA backlog of $17 billion already locked in through Hilli, Gimi, and the FLNG Esperanza, the announcement reframes Golar as a company still adding capacity rather than one just running out its existing fleet.
The new order lifts Golar's controlled liquefaction capacity by 41%, from 8.6 million tonnes to more than 12 million tonnes once fully delivered. Management said that if the unit is chartered on terms similar to last year's Esperanza deal, annual earnings capacity could rise 50%, pushing run-rate EBITDA past $1.2 billion by 2030. That confidence rests on a shipyard bottleneck.
Samsung, the industry's biggest builder, isn't expected to have open capacity until 2031, and Wison in China is on track to book its next two large units, leaving it committed well into the next decade. Seatrium and CIMC, the only two yards actively converting FLNG units right now, have built exclusively for Golar. The operating record backs up the growth pitch. Hilli finished its eight-year Cameroon contract with 100% economic uptime and 156 cargoes delivered, Gimi produced 15% above its contracted volume in the quarter, and the Esperanza conversion is 74% complete and still on budget. Commodity-linked income is already showing up in the numbers: Hilli's contribution jumped to $37 million in the quarter from $10 million in the first quarter, helping push EBITDA up 20% sequentially to $127 million.
Growth at this pace isn't free. The CapEx budget for the fourth FLNG unit came in around $2.45 billion, roughly 10% above the $2.2 billion spent on Esperanza, a jump management tied to inflation in long-lead equipment like turbines and dual-fuel engines, parts now being bid up by AI data center and aircraft manufacturers too. That new unit also has no charter yet, so the 50% earnings boost management is pointing to is a target, not a locked-in number.
Meanwhile, Golar is still equity funding Esperanza, having put in $1.3 billion of its $2.2 billion budget, while carrying net interest-bearing debt of about $1.8 billion. Executives are counting on refinancing Hilli and locking in long-term financing for Esperanza to free up roughly $2.3 billion in liquidity, transactions that are still in progress rather than done. The commodity exposure that flatters earnings when LNG prices are high works the same way in reverse. Management's own sensitivity table shows EBITDA falling back toward $1.2 billion if prices settle near $8 per million BTU, well below the $1.9 billion implied by today's $15 forward price. And the disruption at Qatar's Ras Laffan facility, which knocked out an estimated 17 million tonnes of capacity for three

On August 17, Google, a unit of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL), agreed to buy internal business data from bankrupt Spirit Airlines for $10 million, outbidding a $7.5 million offer from AI data company Mercor. The haul includes employee emails, Microsoft Teams messages, spreadsheets, calendars, and marketing and operations records, all to be stripped of customer information before the sale closes at a bankruptcy court hearing. It is a tiny deal by Alphabet's standards. But it says something about how aggressively the company is hunting for raw material to train its AI models.
Google Cloud revenue grew 82% year over year to $24.8 billion in the second quarter, accelerating from 63% growth in the first. That pace dwarfs the 43% growth Microsoft reported for Azure and the 37% growth Amazon posted for AWS over the same period. Google Cloud is still the smallest of the three in dollar terms, but its operating income more than tripled, from $2.8 billion to $8.8 billion, pushing its margin from about 21% to 36%. Its backlog reached $514 billion, roughly five years of work at the current pace, and Alphabet expects to recognize just over half of it as revenue within 24 months. CEO Sundar Pichai said nearly 90% of the Fortune 100 now use its Gemini Enterprise model, with existing customers exceeding their original commitments by more than 50%.
AI is reshaping the advertising side of the business too. Gemini is helping Alphabet find relevant ads for longer, harder-to-monetize searches, while a tool called AI Max uses AI to expand keyword matches and rewrite ad copy automatically. Management has credited AI Overviews and AI Mode with lifting search revenue by making results more relevant, all built on top of a Chrome browser with 68% global market share and a Google Search engine that holds 91%.
Alphabet's headline numbers are less impressive up close. The company reported net income of $112.2 billion on revenue of $119.8 billion in the second quarter, but $98 billion of that came from "other income," driven mainly by a $94.1 billion unrealized gain tied to its early stake in **** eX. Alphabet invested $900 million in **** eX back in 2015 for roughly 7.5% of the company, a position that ballooned in value after **** eX's June IPO priced shares at $135 and closed the quarter at $170.86. Strip that gain out and Alphabet's net income falls closer to $18 billion, which works out to a 35% year-over-year decline in earnings per share. Because the gain is unrealized, it rises and falls with **** eX's stock price and could reverse just as fast as it appeared.

Coinbase (COIN) stock languished below resistance at a key level Tuesday after the cryptocurrency exchange's recent quarterly loss prompted sellers to exit the stock.
For the second quarter, Coinbase swung to a loss of $1.36 per share year over year. ***** ysts targeted a loss of 41 cents per share on sales of $1.3 billion. Revenue in the report posted July 30 fell 19% to $1.2 billion, slightly missing ***** yst views as trading volumes and transaction revenues softened. Is Coinbase stock a sell now?
Regulatory developments could stoke a much-needed lift to Coinbase shares. However, this month, the Senate failed to vote on a salient cryptocurrency market-structure bill called the Digital ***** et Market Clarity Act. The bill seeks to remove regulatory oversight from securities regulators for most crypto trading.
In June, Coinbase stock hit a new low, then reversed higher in July amid hopes the Clarity Act would pass Congress' upper chamber. But the Senate's recess in August punctured those hopes, and a vote remains pending.

Two fourth-quarter goals from Spanish forward Marc Reyne were enough to end Ireland's hopes of a top-eight finish at the World Cup as Mark Tumilty's side fell to a 3-1 defeat.
Needing a draw to make it through to the upper end of the crossover phase of the tournament, Ireland were more than holding their own against the world-ranked six side after 45 minutes.
After Spain had taken the lead through Nicolas Alvarez, the Irish dominated the second quarter and deservedly equalised when Lee Cole converted a penalty stroke.
Defensively solid, Ireland were 15 minutes away from pulling off the first major upset of the World Cup.
However, Reyne had other ideas, pouncing on a corner rebound and then producing a superb finish on the reverse stick to give the Spanish a 3-1 win.

Uncle Sam is buying more of his own debt. The surprising part isn't how much — it's why Scott Bessent's Treasury decided to act now.
The US Treasury unexpectedly said Wednesday that it will step up purchases of long-term government bonds, giving a stressed corner of the market more support.
The bond market responded immediately — then partially reversed course. The 30-year Treasury yield (^TYX) fell to 5.19% Wednesday, its biggest one-day drop in 10 months, before rebounding sharply early Thursday.
The dollar index (DX-Y.NYB) fell 0.75% Wednesday, its biggest drop since April 30, and was little changed Thursday.
The timing is what makes the move unusual.

Happy Thursday. Stocks fell Thursday as Treasury yields reversed course from their sharp decline in the previous session following the Treasury Department's announcement that it would increase its buybacks of long-dated government debt.
The Treasury Department said it will more than double repurchases of 10-, 20- and 30-year debt over the next few months. The 30-year Treasury yield had jumped to its highest level in nearly 20 years earlier this week.
The decision helped spark a sharp rally across the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin (BTC) surging 11.5% to $71,808.74 in early trading.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump said on social media that he's launching a "crushing economic operation" against Iran. Tehran dismissed the threat as a "diversion," promising such a move "will only bring further defeat."

Acquisitions can tell you a lot about where a company thinks its next big opportunity lies. Sometimes they are about buying technology, sometimes talent, and sometimes they are about putting two businesses together before the market even realizes how well they fit. Elon Musk's ******* eX (SPCH) latest deal looks like a little bit of all three.

Following Q2 earnings, Goldman refreshed its AI Productivity Beneficiaries basket after screening Russell 1000 companies for two traits that could make AI especially valuable. They were high labor costs relative to sales and significant exposure of their wage bills to AI automation.

U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) officials are reportedly investigating Hayden Panettiere's death.
On Sunday, the Heroes actress was found unresponsive at an apartment in Greenville, South Carolina and was ******* ounced dead at the scene. She was 36.
At present, officers at the Greenville City Police Department are leading the investigation into Panettiere's sudden passing, but on Wednesday, journalists at ABC News reported that agents at the DEA are "assisting".
Representatives for the DEA and the Panettiere family have not yet commented on the update.
Previously, editors at TMZ claimed Naloxone - a drug that can be used to reverse an opioid overdose - was found at the apartment where the Nashville star died.
In a police report, the officer stated that Panettiere's on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson and his brother, Zack Hickerson, were at the residence when emergency services arrived at the scene.

The finale in the battle for the **** le! On the last matchday of the 2022/23 FLYERALARM Women's Bundesliga season, FC Bayern Women have the club's fifth German championship in their hands ahead of the meeting with 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam at the FC Bayern Campus on Sunday 28 May. The **** le showdown kicks off at 14:00 CEST. The state of play, pre-match quotes, team news – it's all in the preview.
After the 0-0 draw at Leverkusen last Saturday, Alexander Straus' side go into the final day with a two-point lead over VfL Wolfsburg. Their rivals claimed a last-minute win at SV Meppen on Sunday to prevent FCB from clinching the **** le early, but now the Munich girls can wrap up the fifth Bundesliga **** le in the club's history with a home win over Potsdam. In the event of a draw or defeat, their inferior goal difference means they'll have to hope for a slip-up by the She-Wolves in their game against SC Freiburg.
Dieser Inhalt kann hier leider nicht dargestellt werden. Zum Anschauen kannst du die Website des FC Bayern München besuchen: Artikel auf fcbayern.com
Potsdam's relegation from the Women's Bundesliga has been confirmed since Matchday 20. The Brandenburg outfit lost 3-0 to Eintracht Frankfurt last time out, their fourth straight defeat. That said, after collecting just one point in the first half of the season, there has been an improvement in the second half of the campaign from the team who are second in the all-time Women's Bundesliga standings. Sunday's match at the Campus will be Turbine's last in the German top flight for now after 29 successful years.
Bayern won 3-0 in the reverse fixture in Potsdam thanks to goals from Georgia Stanway, Lina Magull and Linda Dallmann. FCB have been by far the better team in the recent history of the fixture and are unbeaten in 12 games against Turbine (W9 D3). However, the all-time record is virtually even, with 21 wins for Munich, 22 for Potsdam and seven draws in their 50 meetings.

When the Los Angeles Lakers landed Luka Doncic in a stunning trade with the Dallas Mavericks in February 2025, it was like they had won the Powerball jackpot. Doncic was just 25 years of age at the time, and it reset their entire timeline at a point when it looked like their opportunities to win another NBA championship with LeBron James and Anthony Davis had run out.
Doncic averaged 33.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 8.3 **** ists a game last season, and he may be just beginning the prime of his career. He is a nightmare for opposing defenses in the NBA, and in the mind of Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey, he would also be a nightmare for one of the biggest villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Maxey was asked in a video for Complex which NBA player could defeat Thanos in a game of one-on-one, and he said it would be Doncic.
"Probably Luka. Luka just ain't scared of nothing, you know what I mean? I can see Luka on an island, one-on-oneing Thanos…I think Luka can step back pretty much anybody. I don't think Thanos would scare him at all."
Indeed, Doncic's step-back 3-pointer likely gives many an NBA player bad dreams at night and is very difficult to defend. His superpower on the basketball court seems to be his ability to accelerate, then come to an abrupt stop and go backwards in the reverse direction. It is the type of motion that seems to put his defenders in cement, so to speak, and allows him to gain enough separation to get off a jump shot.

Pro Bowl TE Darren Waller adds wrinkle to Panthers' offense originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Seven seasons into a run of Carolina Panthers tight ends failing to eclipse a mediocre receiving milestone, general manager Dan Morgan reached out and signed impatient veteran Darren Waller.
Can the former Pro Bowler add an extra offensive wrinkle for quarterback Bryce Young to exploit?
Greg Olsen, who compiled 597 receiving yards in 2019, remains the last organizational tight end to collect at least 500 yards during a season.
Morgan declared last spring during the offseason training activities (OTAs) that he remained confident in the top three returning tight ends after not adding to the room during the NFL Draft or via free agency. Three weeks into training camp, the Panthers' brass reversed course.

A U.S. judge on Monday blocked plans to move the FBI's headquarters to a federal office building in Washington, finding that President Donald Trump's administration illegally tossed out a previously approved plan to build a new facility nearby in Maryland.
The ruling is the latest development in a yearslong battle over where to house the main office for the nation's premier law enforcement agency. A site in Greenbelt, Maryland, was picked during former President Joe Biden's administration, but Trump appointees sought to reverse that decision last year in favor of repurposing the Ronald Reagan Building, a federal office complex a few blocks from the FBI's existing headquarters.
U.S. District Judge Theodore D. Chuang, an appointee of President Barack Obama, ruled that the move was " not in accordance with law," and blocked the Trump administration from moving the FBI to the Reagan building, renovating it for the FBI or repurposing funds.
"This is not the first time courts have tried to undermine the administration in its goal to make government more cost-effective for American taxpayers," the FBI said in a statement. "The court has chosen to impermissibly intervene for political reasons. This FBI is mission focused and will continue the best course of action to meet the needs of law enforcement."
The suit was brought by the state of Maryland and Prince George's County.

Narcan was reportedly found at the scene of Hayden Panettiere's death.
The drug, which is typically used to reverse an opioid overdose, was found on a mattress in the apartment in Greenville, South Carolina, where the former child star died, TMZ reported.
Panettiere had travelled from her home in Los Angeles to Greenville, South Carolina, for a weekend trip with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson.
The Nashville alum died after an "overdose", according to 911 dispatch audio obtained by Page Six. Panettiere was **** ounced dead at 2.32pm on 16 August. She was 36 years old.
The actor had been open about her struggles with opioid addiction and alcohol. She told People in July 2022 that her addiction spiralled so far "out of control" at one point that she "couldn't live" without them.
She revealed that she was first offered "happy pills" prior to walking red carpets when she was 15 years old.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Civil rights advocates on Monday said they asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review a Texas law requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments, teeing up a case that could set a new national standard for the limits of state-sponsored religious expression in classrooms.
Over two dozen Texas families represented by the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups petitioned the nation's highest court to overturn a split decision in April by the conservative-leaning 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The New Orleans-based appeals court's 9-8 ruling upheld the Texas law, which requires public school classrooms to display a state-selected version of the Ten Commandments drawn from the King James Bible.
In their Supreme Court brief, the families' attorneys argue that the law violates basic First Amendment principles governing the separation of church and state.
"The question of whether a state may impose scripture on impressionable, captive-audience children — for nearly every hour of every school day, for up to (13) years — implicates the most fundamental guarantees of the First Amendment and our Nation's highest ideals," they wrote.
The 5th Circuit reversed a lower federal court ruling that had blocked approximately a dozen Texas school districts from putting up the posters. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed the law, which took effect last September.
