Elizabeth Olsen and Robbie Arnett were recently spotted with their first baby in Los Angeles. According to a report, the new parents were photographed for the first time with their child. The Marvel actor has not addressed her pregnancy in public. Hence, fans seemed unaware that she had finally welcomed her firstborn. However, in June, she confirmed her pregnancy when she stepped out with a baby ******* p.
Elizabeth Olsen was reportedly photographed with her newborn baby along with her husband, Robbie Arnett. The couple recently welcomed their first child. Photos obtained by Page Six showed the "WandaVision" star carrying the little one while walking on the sidewalk.
She wore a white shirt and trousers with a hat, letting her hair loose. Meanwhile, the new mom had a baby carrier on with her newborn in it. She held the child protectively with one hand on its back and one hand holding a green hat over the kid's face. It appeared she was protecting her baby from the strong rays.
On the other hand, Arnett accompanied the two, walking in the distance. He wore a blue T-shirt with shorts and shoes. The musician held a beverage in his hand while walking with his wife.
Although Olsen has not announced her child's birth, the report claimed that she was with her newborn in the photos. In June, she confirmed her pregnancy when spotted with a baby ******* p in LA.

Ryan Reynolds is already something of a modern-day Renaissance man, being a highly successful actor, billionaire business mogul, and global soccer magnate. He could soon add watchmaker to his ever-growing list of ***** les, too.
"I'm about to start horology class," the actor shared in an Instagram story on Sunday. "Trying to learn how to take watches apart and back together again. For no reason other than curiosity and a love of this strange mashup of art and engineering."

The Seattle Seahawks recently announced their intention to sign free-agent cornerback Terrion Arnold. The former first-round pick was released by the Detroit Lions after news surfaced that he'd be facing eight felony charges for kidnapping and robbery with an armed weapon. **** uming Arnold ends up joining the Seahawks, he'll fill an immediate need that was exposed in Week 1 of the preseason.
The Seahawks were defeated 17-7 by the Dallas Cowboys. Predictably, the cornerback depth was exposed. Depth behind Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe has been questioned by fans all offseason long, and Arnold would represent a pretty big upgrade.
Shemar Jean-Charles especially struggled, allowing four receptions on five targets for 78 yards and a touchdown, per Pro Football Focus. Rookie Michael Dansby was also tagged with allowing a touchdown in coverage. Fellow rookie Andre Fuller gave up three catches on three targets.
The Seahawks do not have in-house solutions should Witherspoon or Jobe be sidelined with injury for any amount of time. If the Arnold signing is finalized amidst his off-field legal troubles, the Seahawks will have a depth cornerback they can rely on (at least on the field). The preseason exposed an issue we knew Seattle had, and Arnold could address that issue.

CLEVELAND — Guardians starting pitcher Joey Cantillo was effectively robbed of his last start after a rain delay forced his exit from the game after only 31 pitches, much earlier than expected.
He got his money's worth the next time out.
Cantillo put together arguably his best outing of the season in a 6-1 win over the San Diego Padres Aug. 15 at Progressive Field, tossing six innings that included 18 consecutive outs without allowing a hit.
"Holy smokes," Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said after the win, which also happened to be the franchise's 10,000th in its history. "That was super impressive."
It didn't start out that way. Cantillo gave up a hit and a walk to start the game in the first inning, which led to a run and an early 1-0 lead for the Padres on Manny Machado's double-play groundout.

Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris says his side "imposed ourselves well" to come from a goal down and beat Ligue 1 side Stade Rennes 2-1 in their final pre-season friendly at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.
The Black Cats trained 1-0 to a first-half penalty but dominated the second period, turned the game around through goals from Brian Brobbey and Trai Hume.
"It was a good second half performance - in line with our standards," Le Bris.
"Rennes are a good team, as expected. They're good with the ball and good under pressure.
"We made it a bit easy for them in the first half.

Liverpool enter the new season in a state familiar to all major clubs and yet uniquely tense when it happens at Anfield, poised between memory and reinvention, between the authority of what came before and the uncertainty of what comes next. In an interview with GiveMeSport, Robbie Fowler believes that uncertainty can become opportunity, particularly under Andoni Iraola, whose appointment has brought the promise of energy, aggression and a more direct sort of ambition.
Fowler's remarks, made at the launch of the Topps Flagship Premier League 2026/27 collection, sketched out an intriguing picture of where Liverpool might be headed. There was realism in it, because there had to be. Liverpool have changed manager, changed shape as a squad, and changed, too, in the wider imagination of the Premier League. Arne Slot's **** le-winning first season in 2024/25 now feels a long way away after the collapse of 2025/26 and the upheaval that followed. Iraola arrives with a reputation for intensity and coherence, but also with the burden that attends any coach stepping into one of English football's most exacting jobs.
Fowler sounded energised by that prospect. "I mean, the obvious one is Liverpool," he said.
There is a telling simplicity in that answer. For all the noise that accompanies transition, Liverpool remain compelling because they have chosen a coach with a clear identity. Iraola's Bournemouth side played with courage and without apology. They pressed hard, moved the ball forward early and asked questions of opponents before those opponents had settled into their own patterns. That sort of football can stir a crowd quickly. At Liverpool, where emotional momentum can become tactical momentum, it may matter more than most.
Fowler's **** sment of Iraola was shaped by the same qualities many observers admired at Bournemouth. "Probably excited, actually. When I watched Bournemouth last year, I think they were obviously a team who were easy on the eye, they were very attack-minded, the press was brilliant. So how they play the game is probably the way I want to see a team."

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — After answering six minutes' worth of questions about why the Seattle Seahawks are working on a contract with cornerback Terrion Arnold, coach Mike Macdonald was asked about the team's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday.
Macdonald made it clear he was not ducking inquiries about Arnold, who is facing eight felony charges stemming from allegations he orchestrated the abduction and beating of three men in February. The 23-year-old became a free agent in June, when the Detroit Lions released him a few days after the kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy charges were levied.
"I understand the situation," Macdonald said Friday. "So, I'm glad that we had the opportunity to talk about it."
Macdonald explained why the reigning Super Bowl champions felt compelled to add Arnold, who prosecutors in Florida said arranged for men to be pistol-whipped after he wrongly suspected them of stealing $100,000 in cash and luxury goods from him.
Police called Arnold the "primary conspirator" in the Feb. 4 attack, and a judge set his bail at $1 million.

Matthew Liberatore was his best self Friday afternoon as the St. Louis Cardinals entered the gauntlet of Wrigley Field to play the Cubs for the start of a crucial weekend series. The problem was that Cubs starter Clay Holmes was even better. The first 2/3 of the game was a scoreless and nearly hitless duel. Wheels would start to come off for the Cardinals in that last third of the game, though.
There are no offensive highlights to share with you from the first half of the game. However, there were a couple of defensive gems provided by the middle infield of the Cardinals. In the bottom of the 4th inning, Pete Crow-Armstrong was robbed by Masyn Winn. ROBBED!
The very next batter Suzuki was also denied base access, this time by future Gold Glove second baseman JJ Wetherholt. ROBBED AGAIN!
The Cubs would threaten to break through the scoring drought in the bottom of the 6th inning when Liberatore handed out a leadoff walk to Taylor. Dansby Swanson singled to center which gave Chicago runners at first and third with no outs. Matthew was able to get PCA to foul out to third for the first out, but that would be the end of Liberatore's strong outing Friday. George Soriano was brought in to face Suzuki. During his at-bat, Swanson stole second giving the Cubs two runners in scoring position. The stolen base wouldn't matter as Suzuki connected on an 88 mph changeup as it cleared the wall in left field traveling 390 feet and giving Chicago a 3-0 lead.
The Chicago Cubs 6th inning wasn't over yet as Soriano followed the Suzuki homer with a walk to Alex Bregman and a single to Michael Busch still with just one out. Fortunately, JJ Wetherholt and Masyn Winn combined on a double play on a grounder from Nico ******* ner to end the inning with the damage already being done. The final stat line for Matthew Liberatore would look less impressive than the eye test where he looked extremely sharp for the first 5 innings. Matthew tossed 5 1/3 innings striking out 6 and only walking 1, but those 2 earned runs that crossed the plate along with the 1 Soriano was responsible for were a killer.

If you thought the 2026 San Diego Padres were dead in the water, you not alone, and you had very good reason.
A little more than a month ago, the Padres' path to getting back to the postseason was beginning to disappear. They'd shown flashes of the team many expected them to be, but it was never enough for them to make a real push in the wild-card standings, let alone the NL West.
In the weeks leading up to the trade deadline, the Padres had real reasons to consider being sellers. Several teams were checking in on San Diego's biggest trade **** et, closer Mason Miller, and even for MLB's most aggressive executive in A.J. Preller, it looked as if time had run out.
But with a strong run of play that included winning eight of nine games leading up to the Aug. 3 deadline, things changed. Suddenly, the Padres were back in the mix and going for it. Forget any thought of selling; Preller added starters Robbie Ray and Casey Mize to a group that desperately needed starting pitching reinforcements.
Since then, this team has gotten hot — really hot.

The Seattle Seahawks have made the big, if not controversial decision to sign former Detroit Lions first-round cornerback Terrion Arnold, who's currently facing several felony robbery and kidnapping charges. When Arnold was arrested earlier this summer, the Lions wasted little time in releasing the former Alabama star. However, Arnold drew interest from several teams once he was cleared to work (and travel domestically without an ankle monitor), and the Seahawks were among those teams whose initial interest turned into something much more than that.
Even though Arnold's contract is expected to be incredibly cheap, the issue is whether or not he'll be allowed to play in the regular season. The best case scenario is the charges are dropped and the NFL decides not to take further action by suspending him anyway. Either way, Seattle clearly believes Arnold can help a cornerback room that is far from settled with Riq Woolen gone.
It's only sensible to focus on the football side of the Arnold story. What kind of player are the Seahawks getting? Are his penalty issues correctable? What are his strengths? This is where we hit the emergency **** on and paged Ryan Mathews, who's the Senior Editor for Pride of Detroit, the excellent Detroit Lions SB Nation site. They're plugged into the Lions 100 percent of the way, with Jeremy Reisman doing fantastic work as a credentialed Lions reporter.
In a special 5 Qs and 5 As, I asked Ryan about Arnold's time in Detroit, and whether or not the Seahawks made a good acquisition from a football standpoint. All embedded tweets were inserted by us, not by Ryan.
1.) I've harped on this for a bit given how Seahawks fans viewed Riq Woolen's penalty issues before he left for Philadelphia: Terrion Arnold has been flagged 17 times when you count offsetting/declined penalties. He's only played 24 games total. What gives?

TimesofIndia.com in Galle: India's road to the World Test Championship (WTC) final enters the home stretch from the historic city of Galle, and captain Shubman Gill has an uphill task over the next few months. The WTC final is mathematically still within India's reach but would need a performance for the ages in the next few months, starting with the series opener in Galle on August 15.
The scenario is simple: win seven out of the next nine Test matches to secure the final berth. Even though the immediate challenge involves Galle, crosswinds and frequent rain interruptions, Gill and Co. have their eyes locked on the target, the "main goal".
"The main goal is to play the WTC final, which is next year. And we have got about nine Tests and I think we have to win around six or seven to be able to have a good chance at qualifying. So in terms of that, I think it's a very important series for us," said Gill at the pre-match press conference.
Gill is taking giant strides forward as a leader, which is reflected in how the team has prepared for the series. The captain has vocally criticised the packed scheduling and how it has robbed the side of ideal preparation before an important series in the past. Sri Lanka, on that front, has come as a breath of fresh air, as the team has been camped in Colombo since August 4, where they trained hard at the Nondescripts Cricket Club (NCC) Ground, played a warm-up fixture and squeezed in two quality sessions in Galle.
"If we do have an opportunity and if the scheduling allows us to have at least a week or 10 days before the Test match starts, it obviously helps with the preparation. Even last year we had quite a busy schedule in terms of, you know, travelling, playing in England and playing the Asia Cup, then playing the Test match in India, going to Australia.
"And then playing the Test match within four days after returning from Australia. So it's never easy for the players to be able to adapt. And most of the players in this team, I think, require a bit of time to be able to adjust to the conditions. And it's not like a lot of the players have a lot of matches or a lot of experience under their belts. So the extra time in preparation definitely helps," added Gill.
Every player in the squad relies on high-volume preparation. The optional nets remained busy on the eve of the match as the likes of Gill, KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ravindra Jadeja, Gurnoor Brar, Manav Suthar and others applied the finishing touches hours before taking the field in very hot and humid conditions. India's squad, hit by injury concerns, is far from the first choice, but there is no dearth of quality in the 15 ***** embled by the men's senior selection committee.
Chairman Ajit Agarkar has been with the side in Galle, and there have been long chats involving the selector, coach and captain. For a team that has relied heavily on all-rounders to fill crucial slots, the first Test will be a rare occasion featuring

MOSCOW, Aug 12 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia will respond in kind if European countries start to seize Russian merchant vessels and the commander of Russia's Pacific Fleet said his forces were ready to "inspect and detain" foreign vessels from what he called hostile states.
The comments, which Putin made as he oversaw navy drills in Russia's far east, come as the EU tries to ratchet up pressure on Russia's so-called shadow fleet, expanding sanctions against hundreds of vessels and detaining some ships and their crews for checks. Some European governments have said they are exploring tougher maritime enforcement measures against ships suspected of sanctions evasion.
"We can see that the authorities of certain countries, in violation of international maritime law, are attempting to restrict the movement of our economic operators' vessels..., and have recently gone so far as to consider the possibility of seizing our vessels and selling off the property they have plundered from us," Putin said.
"Naturally, this is nothing less than piracy and robbery. And if this begins to be put into practice, we shall be forced to respond in kind. And not necessarily in those waters where raids on our ships and vessels are planned, but wherever we ourselves deem it necessary and appropriate."

The comments, which Putin made as he oversaw navy drills in Russia's far east, come as the EU tries to ratchet up pressure on Russia's so-called shadow fleet, expanding sanctions against hundreds of vessels and detaining some ships and their crews for checks. Some European governments have said they are exploring tougher maritime enforcement measures against ships suspected of sanctions evasion.
"We can see that the authorities of certain countries, in violation of international maritime law, are attempting to restrict the movement of our economic operators' vessels..., and have recently gone so far as to consider the possibility of seizing our vessels and selling off the property they have plundered from us," Putin said.
"Naturally, this is nothing less than piracy and robbery. And if this begins to be put into practice, we shall be forced to respond in kind. And not necessarily in those waters where raids on our ships and vessels are planned, but wherever we ourselves deem it necessary and appropriate."

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday threatened retaliation for Western seizures of its commercial vessels, describing them as "piracy."
Speaking on a visit to a Russian warship that was taking part in a naval exercise in the Pacific, Putin described the Western moves to detain vessels linked to Russia as a breach of international maritime law.
"It's nothing but piracy and robbery," Putin said. "If this is done, we will be forced to respond in kind."
He added that the Russian response wouldn't necessarily come in the waters where the Russian ships were seized, noting that Moscow could retaliate "in any area where we see it as necessary and appropriate," including in the Pacific.
The Pacific Fleet chief, Adm. Viktor Liina, reported to Putin that the navy was ready to start inspections of the commercial ships serving the "unfriendly nations." He noted that many of the ships operated by British, French and other European carriers fly the flags of other nations, effectively making them a "shadow fleet."

The second episode of HBO's 'Hard Knocks' chronicling of Seattle Seahawks training camp and preseason had one very interesting nugget that remains an ongoing story for the Super Bowl champions.
Former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold, currently facing several felony robbery and kidnapping charges, tried out for the Seahawks at the team facility at the start of the week. While no signing is imminent and Arnold is slated to meet the New York Giants next, the 'Hard Knocks' crew does give us a revealing look into the Seahawks front office and their interest in Arnold. This comes shortly after they show Nick Emmanwori rehabbing his injured ankle, which obviously went well enough for him to be activated off of PUP.
Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde: "Is there anything on that guy in Detroit, the one they cut?"
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald: "John's looking into it. He's gone spy mode."
Seahawks general manager John Schneider: "I'm trying to remember, like, with this Terrion Arnold thing, what would be another controversial signing that's happened so we can kind of like understand that situation.

Anthony Wint is in the UFC, and it came as no surprise with his win at Dana White's Contender Series.
Wint (7-0), a former NFL player, put away Matt Adams in just 34 seconds into the first round of their heavyweight main event at Dana White's Contender Series 87 – which took place at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas. After the fights, Dana White announced that Wint had earned himself a contract with the UFC.
Wint's showing was lightning quick. He leg kicked Adams a couple of times, then took him down to the ground, where he landed some vicious shots that quickly put out Adams. Wint trains at Kill Cliff in South Florida, and had former UFC champion Robbie Lawler in his corner.
You can watch the replay of Wint's finish below:

The Seahawks have made a pair of roster moves.
Seattle announced the club has signed linebacker Aaron Smith and placed fullback Robbie Ouzts on injured reserve.
Smith entered the league as an undrafted free agent last year and spent the season with the Jets practice squad.
Ouzts appeared in 12 games with two starts last season as a rookie last year. His current injury has not been disclosed, but he's now set to be out for all of 2026.

The former Celtic striker was among the names seriously considered for the position before the Scottish champions ultimately turned to Martin O'Neill on a short-term basis.
Keane's potential appointment proved contentious among sections of the support, largely because of his previous spell in charge of Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The Irishman had appeared to be moving closer to the Celtic vacancy before Dermot Desmond eventually went in a different direction and handed responsibility to O'Neill.
However, former Crystal Palace boss Iain Dowie does not believe Keane's managerial career should be defined by where he has previously worked.

Sevilla have signed Scottish striker Robbie Ure from Swedish league leaders IK Sirius for an initial fee of £5.5m.
The 22-year-old completed his medical on Monday and signed a five-year contract after being offered the opportunity to lead the line at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.
The La Liga side will pay 6.5 million euros (£5.5m) up front, with a further 2.5 million euros (£2.1m) in add-ons.
Ure will become the third Scottish-born player to play for Sevilla in official competition, the Spanish club said, following Ted McMinn in the 1980s and Duncan McVean Thomson during the 1915-16 season.
Two other Scots were mentioned by Sevilla to mark the move: former manager Jock Wallace, who led Sevilla during the 1986-87 season, and the club's first president, Edward Farquharson Johnston.

There was no hangover for the Diamondbacks after their low-scoring series victory over the Dodgers. Indeed, the offense nearly matched the entire output there, in just the first four outs. That provided a nice, soft landing for Michael Soroka, in his return from the injured list, as he threw 4.1 scoreless innings, before being removed for pitch count purposes. Zack Littell made his D-backs debut, and was awarded the win for his 4.2 innings of relief. Arizona simply took care of business tonight at Chase Field, and as a result remain tied with the Phillies for the second wild-card spot, since Philadelphia also won, in St. Louis.
Before this season, the Diamondbacks had hit only five first inning grand-slams in team history – that's over a span north of 4,400 opening frames. The last came more than fifteen years ago, in April 2011, when Stephen Drew took Ryan Dempster deep. But the team has now done it twice this year, with Nolan Arenado the man responsible on both occasions. Amusingly, he has a Rockies appeal to thank for it. With two outs, Gabriel Moreno hit a triple that rattled around in the right-field corner. It looked he then scored on a wild pitch, but Colorado appealed, saying it hit Marte. A review confirmed this, so Gabi was sent back and Ketel took first. But instead of getting out of the frame, Lars Nootbaar drew a walk, which allowed Arenado to come up with the bases loaded. Just like on May 18 against Robbie Ray, this then happened.
View Link
Arizona put up another crooked number in the second inning. With one out, Ryan Waldschmidt singled, Geraldo Perdomo walked, and Corbin Carroll doubled home Waldschmidt for a 5-0 lead. A wild pitch added another run, and Marte drove in one more with a single. Through two innings, Arizona were 7-0 up, and they had made Colorado starter Gabriel Hughes throw 63 pitches. With Soroka having allowed one walk and no hits through two, it was a bit of a surprise that it was the D-backs starter who was the first to be replaced. Part of this was the Arizona offense taking a bit of a nap for the next few innings. Also, this was Soroka's first outing in the majors since June 19. He had only one rehab start, throwing 57 pitches for the Reno Aces.
Therefore, while it would have been nice to get him through five and qualify for the victory, a fairly long fourth inning (needing 22 pitches) put the dampers on that. After getting the first out in the fifth, Soroka threw an 8-pitch walk, and Torey Lovullo decided that was enough, at a total of 77 pitches. The final line: 4.1 shutout innings, on three hits and three walks with four strikeouts. Under normal circumstances, this might have been a bit of a problem. But new guy Zack Littell had been signed for exactly this, and had no pitch count limitation. He didn't make a great first impression, walking the first batter he faced on four pitches. However, he immediately dialed up a double-play to end the fifth. The DP was Arizona's friend tonight, with four being tu

The Detroit Lions cut former first-round pick Terrion Arnold in June following his arrest on felony kidnapping and armed robbery charges.
But his legal peril isn't scaring other teams away. The Seattle Seahawks confirmed Monday that they hosted a tryout for Arnold. And the reigning Super Bowl champions aren't the only team kicking the tires on the 23-year-old cornerback.
Arnold has already worked out for the Houston Texans and had a tryout scheduled with the New Orleans Saints following his Sunday workout with the Seahawks, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. Citing court testimony from Arnold's agent, Texans beat reporter Aaron Wilson reported in July that the New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts had also been in touch with Arnold.
Arnold is a standout young cornerback whom the Lions selected with the 24th pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. His talent and age add up to tremendous value in the NFL. He also faces eight felony charges that could carry a maximum of life in prison if he's convicted.
The heat around Arnold became too high for the team that drafted him. But in the cutthroat world of NFL competition, his talent is proving too much for opposing teams to rule out giving him a look.

The Seattle Seahawks and general manager John Schneider have a history of treading cautiously with players who have troubled pasts, but sometimes the the possibility of adding a promising young talent is too good not to explore.
NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported on Sunday that the Seahawks hosted former Detroit Lions first-round pick Terrion Arnold for a visit on Sunday. Arnold, who was drafted 24th overall in 2024, was released by the Lions on June 29 after he was arrested on eight total felony counts ranging from kidnapping to armed robbery. Here's a summary from the last time Arnold's name was linked to the Seahawks:
Authorities accused Arnold of orchestrating the abduction and beating of three men whom prosecutors believe were wrongly suspected of stealing luxury goods and $100,000 in cash from Arnold's AirBnB rental in Florida. Prosecutors further claim that although Arnold was not present at the time of the abduction and beating, he directed his ****** ociates to hold, beat, and pistol-whip the victims.
Arnold posted bond and is eligible to sign with any team. He previously visited the Houston Texans in early July.
The visit comes during third-round pick Julian Neal's ongoing absence as he navigates through a leg injury. Although head coach Mike Macdonald said Neal is not expected to be sidelined long-term, the team's interest in another cornerback indicates Neal's status is definitely something to monitor in the coming days.

Former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold reportedly visited the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, per NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
Arnold, a 2024 first-round draft pick of the Lions, was released by Detroit after his June arrest in connection to an armed robbery and kidnapping case in Florida. Arnold is facing felony charges that carry a potential sentence of up to life in prison.
Back in July, the Seahawks were one of four teams that Arnold's agent, Nicole Lynn, said had contacted Arnold with interest in potentially signing the free agent cornerback. Arnold reportedly worked out for the Houston Texans at that time in July. Per his agent, Arnold also heard from the Indianapolis Colts and the New York Jets.
Across two seasons with the Lions, Arnold played in and started 24 games. The Alabama alum totaled 91 tackles, 18 passes defended and one interception.
Arnold was limited to just eight games played in 2025 as he underwent season-ending shoulder surgery in December.
