On August 6, The RealReal (NASDAQ:REAL) reported second quarter results that beat its own outlook and pushed the resale luxury marketplace to raise its full year guidance. Gross merchandise value hit an all time high of $617 million, up 22% from a year earlier, and management pointed to four straight quarters of GMV growth above 20%. But a wider net loss sitting next to those record numbers complicates the story for anyone weighing the stock today.
The headline number is GMV of $617 million for the quarter ended June 30, up 22% year over year, with total revenue climbing 17% to $193 million. Consignment revenue grew 15% while Direct Revenue, the company's owned inventory channel, grew 26%, showing both sides of the business contributing to the acceleration. Profitability moved in the same direction. Gross margin reached 74.4%, up 10 basis points from a year ago, and Adjusted EBITDA margin jumped to 7%, a 290 basis point improvement that management called nearly 300 basis points of expansion.
The buyer base backs up the growth story rather than just the pricing. Trailing twelve-month active buyers rose 11% to 1,107,000, and average order value climbed 13% to $659, meaning existing shoppers are spending meaningfully more per transaction, not just showing up more often. That combination gave management enough confidence to raise full-year guidance to $2.54 billion to $2.57 billion in GMV and $788 million to $797 million in total revenue, alongside third-quarter Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $13.5 million to $14.5 million.
Despite the operating improvements, GAAP losses widened. Net loss came in at $27 million, or 14.1% of total revenue, compared to $11 million, or 6.9% of total revenue, a year earlier. GAAP basic net loss per share was $0.23 versus $0.10 in the prior year period, and diluted net loss per share was $0.23 versus $0.13. Much of that swing traces to a $(18.6) million non-cash adjustment tied to the change in fair value of warrant liability, a factor unrelated to how the underlying business performed. On a non-GAAP basis, basic and diluted net loss per share actually narrowed to $0.01 from $0.06, underscoring how much of the GAAP gap is accounting rather than operations.
There is also a transparency wrinkle in the guidance itself. The RealReal said it has not reconciled its forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA figures to GAAP net income or loss, citing components like payroll tax expense on employee stock transactions that it cannot predict with reasonable certainty. That leaves investors trusting a non-GAAP target without the usual bridge back to the bottom line.

After watching the tape and re-evaluating the outlook of Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Buffalo Bills, here's everything Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans had to say on Monday about the outcome, what went wrong and where the team can improve entering Week 2.
Question: On how to eliminate explosive plays as a defense
DeMeco Ryans: "To eliminate explosive plays, it starts by simply guys doing their job, being where they're supposed to be. Whether it's coverage, leverage, or being outside, being inside, being on top, where we're supposed to be, how we're rushing, our rush plan, also all that ties in together. We gave up 11 or 12 explosive plays and when you give up that many plays, you're going to give up points. We have to do a much better job of just being where we're supposed to be, finishing how we're supposed to finish."
Q: On trusting the process
Ryans: "You definitely have to trust the process when it just comes to doing what we're supposed to do. The Bills, they made some plays and made some good catches, but when we're not where we're supposed to be, we're going to make it look even better. It always starts with us about just doing the things that you're supposed to do to help you win the game."

Tom Holland and Zendaya are reportedly planning to install a climate-controlled room in one of their several properties to preserve her more than $269,000 wedding gown.
Holland, 30, and Zendaya, 30, said "I do" during an intimate wedding celebration at the Beaverbrook Hotel in Surrey, just outside London, on Aug. 4.
The actress marked the occasion by donning a stunning lace Schiaparelli gown featuring long sleeves and a high neckline.
Now, Zendaya is reportedly taking extraordinary measures to ensure the sentimental garment—which has never been pictured or seen publicly—is carefully preserved for years to come.
Sources told The Sun that the actress wants to keep the gown close by rather than entrusting it to an outside storage company. The dress reportedly needs to be stored at a temperature between 59 and 64 degrees.

The Washington Huskies have a problem on offense.
Jedd Fisch's unit has now scored 40 points in their first two games combined, ten fewer points than the Huskies were favored to win those two games by (23.5 against Washington State, 26.5 against Utah State). Washington has finished with more than 350 yards of offense in both of those games, but has found itself completely unable to move the ball consistently or score points efficiently through the first two games.
Quarterback Demond Williams Jr. has struggled to throw the ball in rhythm, often opting to scramble and utilize his talent as a runner to keep the offense on track. Washington has needed that from him, too: Williams has been the Huskies' leading rusher in both games as the running back depth has been decimated by injuries to Jordan Washington, Quaid Carr, and Jayden Limar.
But there has also been opportunity for Williams to throw the ball more effectively. He's missed several what should have been easy throws in the flat and placed longer throws into the end zone out of reach of his receivers more often than he's found those plays. It hasn't been all on Williams, however: starting X receiver Christian Moss left after two snaps in the Apple Cup, and starting Z receiver Rashid Williams left early on Saturday against Utah State, thrusting true freshmen Jordan Clay and Trez Davis into action. Dezmen Roebuck and running back Trey Cooley both also dropped passes that could have easily been touchdowns on Saturday, further putting the offense behind schedule and making for a messy operation.
"As an offense, we shot ourselves in the foot a lot," Williams told the media after the game.

The Colorado Buffaloes entered Saturday needing a more confident passing game after a tight opening win at Georgia Tech, and Julian Lewis supplied it before Weber State even had time to settle into the afternoon at Folsom Field.
On Colorado's first offensive snap, Lewis hit DeAndre Moore Jr. for a 66-yard touchdown. A few minutes later, Lewis found Joseph Williams for a 63-yard score, and Colorado had already put Weber State in a position where it needed to chase the game.
From my seat, the biggest development was how quickly Lewis played. The Buffs came out attacking downfield, trusting Lewis to make the reads and allowing the receivers to use their speed against Weber State's coverage.
Colorado's 52-21 win moved the Buffs to 2-0 for the first time since 2023. Lewis completed 17 of 23 passes for a career-high 366 yards, four touchdown passes and no interceptions. He added a 3-yard rushing touchdown before halftime, accounting for five scores before leaving the game with 5:50 remaining in the third quarter.
The 52-point afternoon came with a few defensive concerns, particularly in the secondary, but Colorado showed far more life offensively than it did a week ago. Lewis played like a quarterback who could give this team an explosive passing game, while Micah Welch ended one of the program's longest rushing droughts.

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

Oscar Isaac plays a man whose marriage is falling apart in Beef Season 2, and it earned him a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie ahead of the 2026 Emmy Awards. But what's the latest on the 47-year-old actor's real-life marriage?
Isaac and his wife, Elvira Lind, have been each other's dates to awards ceremonies for years. In fact, they made their first public appearance as a couple at the 2016 Golden Globes, where Isaac won a trophy for his role in Show Me a Hero. Over the past decade, Isaac has shared updates about his relationship. Keep reading for all the facts about the actor's wife, whether he has kids, and more.
Lind is a 45-year-old film director from Copenhagen, though she and Isaac are currently based in New York. Per her website, she went to film school in Cape Town in 2006 before launching a career in filmmaking. She primarily makes documentaries, though Lind and Isaac have worked together on some fiction projects, including Lind's Oscar-nominated short film The Letter Room.
She wrote a message "to [her] talented husband" after The Letter Room was made. "Thank you for letting me put you in a fat suit during a Summer heat wave," says her June 2020 Instagram post. That same year, Lind and Isaac started their own production company, Mad Gene Media.
She continued, "Thank you for trusting me to direct you while I was 7 months pregnant. I know that wasn't always easy. Thank you for encouraging me and showing up and doing absolute magic like you always do. And thank you for growing the most impressive moustache I have ever seen. You are the funniest man I know. I love you more than any words can explain on social media. I am very happy we got to make this together – (and stayed married after)."

Last week was about as good of a start to the season as we could have asked for.
About the only things that are sticking with me is trusting Rutgers as a 30-point favorite over UMass last Thursday, along with seeing Ohio State cover late. Had the Buckeyes not scored that final touchdown, I would have been on the mark when it comes to my Buckeye score prediction.
Now to hope this week brings us similar success.
At least now we have a little bit to go on after seeing each team at least once. While I'm not going to say things are going to get easier going forward, at least it wouldn't be quite as much of a guessing game as it usually is in the first week.
Arizona State v. No. 10 Texas A&M (-14.5) – Saturday 9/12 12:00 p.m. ET – ABC

On Friday, the USC football team defeated Fresno State 39-0 at the Coliseum. With the victory, the Trojans improved to 2-0 on the 2026 season.
Following the game, USC head coach Lincoln Riley spoke to the media. Here are some of the highlights of what he had to say:
"Excited about the win. Really excited about the shutout. Obviously, it's hard to do. Doesn't happen very often in college football these days. We played at our standard for a higher level tonight, and that was really great to see on all sides. I think the excitement, energy in the Coliseum, energy with our football team was pretty consistent the whole way through. I think we played better as a football team than we did in week one. And that's what you got to do. It may sound boring, cliche, whatever, but that's how you get good, right? You just have to keep taking steps. I thought we attacked it on the short week. I thought the team really prepped well and was really just ready to play this game."
"We did some great things. He makes things challenging on the other side, and I think what you saw was our belief in it was even higher than it was in week one. When we went back and watched week one, we did a lot of good things. Obviously, the first unit did, but when they weren't good, it's just a lot of us not trusting it at times, and I don't want to hide under, 'Well it's young guys and the twos' or things like that. It doesn't matter;we're gonna need them all. So I thought we trusted it more, and saw that he's going to do some things, alongwith our staff, to put us in some good positions, and I thought our guys played fast and confident. That's a group that challenges you in a lot of different ways because of how multiple they are, all the different personnel groupings that they play in. They return some good football players on that team. So for us to limit them the way we did, especially stopping the run, allowed us to get a chance to get after them up front, and then created some opportunities in the secondary. It was obviously a really good performance."
"We had some opportunities where we protected well and were able to do it. Our drives were pretty completemost of the game. We had a couple of things that we didn't like; we messed up a few things. I had a couple bad calls, and then obviously the turnovers. We had two fumbles and we didn't convert a third and a fourth and one in the red zone. We played pretty good other than that, but you can't have that, right? That's just not good enough. So we have to be better there. We have to be more consistent. We were still a little sloppy early in the run game. We made some explosive plays in the pass game, but we have a lot of work to do."

Tennessee football had just won its season opener and new starting quarterback, freshman Faizon Brandon, was greeting his parents in the north end zone of Neyland Stadium. Wide receiver Braylon Staley was right next to Brandon, endorsing the five-star freshman.
"This is the man right here," Staley said.
UT coach Josh Heupel was also pleased with Brandon's debut, but not surprised by anything he saw.
"I don't think he did anything that surprised me," Heupel said after the 56-9 win over Furman on Sept. 5. "We're just … trusting that what you've seen on the field through the body of work is going to show up on gameday too. But for a young player, he managed and stayed within himself extremely well, which is the expectation."
Brandon dazzled in his first college start, throwing for 226 yards and three touchdowns and adding 68 yards and two more scores on the ground over less than three quarters of work.

Surprised the Seahawks' top rookie didn't play at all this preseason?
Taken aback that the 22-year-old first-round draft pick the Super Bowl champions are entrusting to replace departed Kenneth Walker as lead running back hasn't played a game since last November, for Notre Dame?
So is Jadarian Price.
He said he expected to play in at least one of the Seahawks' three preseason games last month.
"I was a little bit surprised, yeah," Price said Saturday, before the first practice of his first NFL game week — of any kind, fake season or real.

Our ******* ysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here.
Nobody announces that they've stopped trusting you. They just start moving things out on weekday afternoons, a carload at a time, and by the time you notice, the good coat is already somewhere else. Central banks do this too but their subtle breaking up with you involves armored trucks, an ocean, and a press release that leans very hard on the word "logistics."
Between March and August, the Dutch central bank moved 86 tonnes of gold out of New York and Ottawa and into London. It called the project "crisis preparedness" and cited "increasing geopolitical unrest," which is central banker for saying the quiet part at a normal indoor volume.
De Nederlandsche Bank, DNB to its friends, closed 2025 sitting on 612.4 tonnes of gold worth €72.2 billion ($83.7 billion). About 31.3% of it lived in New York and another 19.7% in Ottawa, roughly 313 tonnes parked in North America. The 86 tonnes that left is a bit more than a quarter of that pile.
Roughly 59 tonnes never went anywhere at all. DNB sold that gold in New York and bought the same quantity in London, which is the bullion version of Venmo-ing a friend instead of driving across state lines with a duffel bag. The other 27-odd tonnes actually traveled, first from New York and Ottawa to DNB's own vault in the Dutch town of Zeist, then an equivalent amount from Zeist onward to London. The gold, in other words, flew with a layover. Structuring it that way let the bank skip melting down and re-casting bars to meet London's standards, which costs real money and carries the always-unwelcome risk of finishing the process with less gold than it started with.

Milwaukee Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski has taken the big leagues by storm and, in his first full season, is the favorite to win the National League Cy Young Award.
Misiorowski draws a ton of eyes and national media attention, which is very rare for a Brewers player. He has caught the eye of nearly every baseball fan with what he does to the radar gun, and Hall of Fame pitcher Pedro Martínez sent him a message on X.
"Misiorowski: Keep trusting what you have and don't fear anyone!" Martínez wrote on X before the Brewers took on the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. "I trust you, so trust yourself!"
The Brewers and Cubs played on TBS on Tuesday night, so Martínez was part of the crew breaking down the game. Misiorowski will take the mound on Wednesday in Game 3 of the four-game series, and surely every fan will be tuned in to see what he does against MVP frontrunner Pete Crow Armstrong.

Red carpet glamour may look effortless, but behind every polished celebrity appearance is usually a team of professionals working together. Stylists, makeup artists and hairstylists help stars prepare for major events, making sure every detail feels right before the cameras start flashing. For many celebrities, getting ready is less about following a strict formula and more about trusting experienced people who understand their personal style. The process can feel like playing dress up, with different outfits, beauty looks and accessories tested until everything comes together.
Celebrities often describe the experience as highly collaborative. Stylists may bring several clothing options, but the final choice still depends on what makes the person wearing it feel comfortable and confident. Stars can suggest changes, remove details or add something that better reflects their personality. Even when the glam team does most of the technical work, personal input remains important. The strongest red carpet looks are often the ones that feel natural to the person wearing them rather than simply following whatever happens to be fashionable at the moment.
Preparation can also begin long before the makeup brushes and clothing racks arrive. Eating well, drinking enough water and taking care of the skin can help create a better starting point for the beauty team. Just as important is working with familiar professionals who understand a celebrity's face, preferences and comfort level. That trust can make the hours before an event feel less stressful, especially when the same makeup artist or hairstylist has developed a recognizable approach over years of working together.
Makeup artist Gucci Westman is one example of how personal that relationship can become. Her work has been described as gentle and artistic, almost like painting a face rather than simply applying cosmetics. For a celebrity, having someone who knows exactly how to create a familiar look can provide confidence before stepping into an environment filled with cameras and attention. The same principle applies to fashion styling, where understanding the person matters just as much as understanding clothes.
Stylist Erin Walsh, known for working with stars including Anne Hathaway and Selena Gomez, describes red carpet dressing as a collaboration. Trends can provide inspiration and help fashion continue evolving, but they should not completely control the final look. Instead, pieces of current trends can be adapted to suit an individual's personality, comfort and appearance. That may be the real secret behind memorable red carpet style. The best looks are not created by one person alone, but through teamwork, trust and a shared understanding of what makes someone feel their best.

Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham is rediscovering his best form after a season in which he performed below his usual level.
The English midfielder began the campaign with a headed goal against Espanyol last weekend and then produced an excellent display against Real Sociedad, providing two ******* ists, one for Kylian Mbappe and another for Vinicius Jr.
Speaking to Real Madrid's official media, Bellingham discussed his new role and Jose Mourinho's influence on his improved performances at the start of the new season.
"I feel more free again, more free to decide when to drop back, when to stay up or when to get into the box," he explained.
"I think this is the best position for me, the one that allows me to show all my qualities. I'm really grateful to the coach for trusting me to play this way," said the England international.

The summer transfer market has been shaken by Álvaro Morata's surprising move to CD Leganés, while the latest sports headlines are dominated by Julián Álvarez's absence from Atlético de Madrid's trip to Seville and FC Barcelona's tactical adjustments in attack.
The Madrid-born striker is behind the summer's biggest move after joining CD Leganés on loan from Como. The deal shakes up the second tier and makes the Spain international Leganés' main ***** et in their bid to return to the top flight.
For his part, Diego Simeone heads into the visit to the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán without a recognized centre-forward after Julián Álvarez was confirmed unavailable. The Argentine's absence, prompted by his refusal to train during the final stretch of the transfer window, puts even more focus on the tactical setup the rojiblancos will use in Seville.
Meanwhile, in Barcelona, Hansi Flick is drawing up attacking alternatives. Faced with the complicated scenario of signing Julián Álvarez, the coaching staff are considering redeploying Raphinha as an out-and-out No. 9, trusting in his movement and finishing to lead the blaugrana attack.
On the international stage, the European draws have handed demanding matchups to Celta de Vigo and Real Sociedad in the Europa League, while Getafe will face more manageable fixtures in the Conference League.

In today's fast-paced world, sometimes you need to find a quiet place to refresh your mind and find solace. But, in a post-COVID-19 world, where inflation is high, you might not be jonesing for an expensive spa day. It turns out you can look to your own closet for your daily dose of Zen. This advice comes directly from one of Hollywood's own elite, actor and talk show host Drew Barrymore. As host of "The Drew Barrymore Show," the star has captured our attention as one of the more empathetic, spiritual, and soulful talk show hosts. For example, her interaction with Machine Gun Kelly – when he was not feeling his best during an appearance on her show — displays just how much time, patience, and understanding she has for those who are open about their struggles.
When it comes to Barrymore's own struggles, her meteoric rise to fame after starring in Steven Spielberg's "ET" at the tender age of 7, before spiraling into a tragic world of addiction, has been well documented. So, it stands to reason why the "Never Been Kissed" star might want to fashion her own meditation room. She revealed her patented, quiet room of reflection in an interview with Vulture, where she was photographed inside the room within her New York apartment — a room she designed herself from a walk-in closet — and it's giving us plenty of inspiration and affirmation, an important practice to add to your self-care routine.

"Scream" star Drew Barrymore has fashioned her own meditation room in her walk-in closet within her New York apartment. Photographers from Vulture took photos inside the ****** e, with the outlet describing the room as covered in pink flamingo wallpaper and scraps of paper with words of positive affirmation scribbled on them. According to the outlet, these inspirational quotes include, for example, "Today is the day you start trusting yourself," "Listen to my body and soul," and "Treat myself as the mother I needed." In the photo, we can also see a small desk, a mirror, and lots of lit candles. Barrymore describes her notes as the work she's doing with her therapist to work through her "shadows," aka "everything we don't want to be but fear we are."

Former New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte sent a message to the team on Wednesday in the aftermath of being traded to the Houston Texans.
Boutte thanked the Patriots and those who meant most to him within the franchise's ranks in a post on social media.
"I want to thank Mr. Kraft, Coach Belichick, and everyone behind the scenes who poured into me," Boutte wrote. "I also want to give a special thank you to Coach Vrabel, Todd Downing, and Josh McDaniels. Thank you for believing in me, trusting in my abilities, and helping me grow, not just as a football player, but as a man."
Boutte was selected by the Patriots with the No. 187 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. After spending all three seasons of his career in New England from 2023-25 and reaching the Super Bowl with the team at the end of last season, the 24-year-old had his offseason trade request honored by the Patriots on Monday, as he now joins the Texans with just under three weeks remaining until the start of the 2026 NFL season.
Boutte also included the Patriots' supporters in his message on Instagram.

Keelon Russell has the respect of his Alabama football teammates. Now, as the Crimson Tide's starting quarterback, relationship building starts.
As Alabama's 2026 season opener nears, and as offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb sets his plans in motion to ensure Russell is as prepared as possible for his first collegiate start against East Carolina, the number one relationship on Grubb's mind isn't between Russell and Ryan Coleman-Williams. It's not a receiver. It's not a running back.
It's Russell and his center: Cal Poly transfer Racin Delgatty.
"I think his relationship with all the O-line is, for a young quarterback, like just being himself, asking questions and really for him, I think it starts with him and Racin," Grubb said after Alabama's fall camp practice Tuesday, Aug. 25. "You know, like them having to gel together on protection calls and checks and trusting Racin to help get him into the right calls if he needs it."
Grubb made it clear. Russell has the final say on protections. Quarterbacks always do. They know where the problems are. They see the big picture.

The NBA has been showing us for a while that simply putting several stars together isn't enough to win anymore. The 2024 Celtics had a stacked roster almost everywhere, with close to 10 guys who could handle minutes, while the 2025 Thunder might honestly be one of the deepest teams we have seen in a long time. Then the Knicks won the 2026 ***** le with a rotation that became much more important after Mike Brown replaced Tom Thibodeau and started trusting the bench more.
That is pretty much the rule now. A team can have crazy firepower in the starting five, but if the second unit can't score, defend, or survive five minutes without the stars, competing for four playoff rounds becomes much harder. Over 82 games, it matters even more, because injuries, rest, and bad shooting nights are going to happen no matter how talented the roster is.
So for this ranking, the focus is simple: which five teams enter 2026-27 with the deepest benches in the league? These are second units with several players who can change a regular-season game, cover an injury for a few weeks, or even stay on the floor during a tough playoff series. That obviously doesn't mean one of these five teams is guaranteed to win the ***** le, but having too many productive bench pieces is always a pretty nice problem to have.
The Rockets have a ridiculous amount of bodies behind their starting five, and the interesting part is that most of them bring something different. If Fred VanVleet, Amen Thompson, Kevin Durant, Jabari Smith Jr., and Alperen Sengun start, Ime Udoka can still bring Reed Sheppard, Tari Eason, Marcus Smart, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Steven Adams, and Clint Capela from the bench.
Sheppard gives them the scoring and shooting that second units usually need. He was up to 13.5 points and 3.4 ***** ists last season while hitting 39.4% from three, so Houston doesn't have to leave Durant on the floor every time VanVleet sits just to have somebody who can create offense.

The Baltimore Ravens have spent much of training camp adjusting to new voices, some in the huddle and many on the sideline. With that have come new expectations, but what else would you expect with a new coaching staff?
While the changes have touched every area of the roster, the Ravens spent two days testing themselves against one of the NFL's most aggressive defenses. Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores threw pressure packages, disguises, and coverages at Baltimore's offense that few teams can replicate.
Wide receiver Rashod Bateman believes one difference stands above the rest. It's year six for the former first-round selection, one representing the potential for a bounce-back. During a post-practice conversation with the Baltimore media, he shared a trait this Ravens team has that was foreign to other iterations of the team he has been part of.
"I would just say [we're] a very detail-oriented team. From head coach [Jesse Minter] to [offensive coordinator Declan Doyle] to [wide] receivers coach [Keary Colbert], everybody really harps on the details and the small things, and that's just not what we were in our past. I think, right now, we're just learning how to play fast, smart football. [We're] trusting the training, trusting the call [and] trusting our teammates. So, I think that's the difference right now, honestly. [We're] just building that team chemistry for sure."
Bateman's comments offered a revealing glimpse into why optimism has grown around Baltimore's offense. The Ravens aren't simply installing new schemes or learning new terminology. According to one of their veteran receivers, they're embracing a different level of detail, communication, and accountability.

WILLIAMSPORT, PA(WBRE/WYOU)-- The last seven days have been a whirlwind for the twelve year old all-stars from West Chester, PA. The Mid-Atlantic Regional Champions have been on the road since capturing the ***** le Friday, August 14th in Bristol, Connecticut.
East Side Little League Manager Bob Hennessey said, "It's awesome, and the support back home has been unbelievable. Getting messages, texts, social media posts."
East Side pitcher and outfielder Cole Warner shined in the clinching game of the Mid-Atlantic Regionals. "Seeing all the fans, and like the parents and the kids asking for all of us. It's like being a MLB player," said Warner.
The twelve year old tossed five plus innings, allowing just a single run. "They were pretty good. Just pitching to contact and trusting my defense is the key," Cole said.
Warner also scored a run in the 3 to 1 win over Delaware. Ryan Hennessy drove him in with a two RBI hit in the first inning.

Patrick Sandoval has been playing with fire baserunners all season since returning from Tommy John surgery this year, and it finally blew up on the Red Sox over the weekend. Now we're hearing that an injury may be playing a role in his performance, even if it's a small one. Sandoval apparently has been battling a blister on his left foot (the foot he uses to push off the rubber) for most of the year. (Jon Conahan, NESN)
If Sandoval does go on the IL — or if he's just ***** ped from the rotation for underperformance — the Sox do have another experienced starter on the roster who could take his rotation spot in Brayan Bello. The problem is that Bello, for whatever reason, is thriving in his long relief role after struggling in the first inning all season long. "Does this mean Brayan can't start anymore? That's not the case," Chad Tracy said. "It's difficult to ignore how very, very effective he has been coming out of the bullpen in a bulk relief role and taking down innings. So I don't think that we've closed the book on that by any means. It just feels like that's the way to do it right now." (Tim Healey, Boston Globe)
Bello is pitching so well in his long relief role that it's hard not to think about what the narrative of his season would be if he was able to perform this way as a conventional starter. He has an ERA of 0.85 in over 50 relief innings, and if he were performing anywhere close to that while starting games, we'd be talking about him having a career year and thrusting himself into the Cy Young conversation. As it stands, Cam Schlittler of the Yankees seems to have that award locked up, though Sonny Gray is currently projected to finish fifth. (Jason Foster, MLB.com)
Sonny Gray is rightly heralded as one of the best offseason acquisitions any big league team has made this year. But, so far, the Red Sox trade deadline acquisitions aren't faring nearly as well. (Rob Bradford, WEEI)
Bello isn't the only Red Sox veteran who went missing from this team for most of the middle of the season, of course. Trevor Story has been out since mid-May recovering from sports hernia surgery, after struggling through the first weeks of the season. But he now hopes to return as early as Friday. It's fair to ask whether he still should get the nod at shortstop given his poor performance before hitting the IL, but Chad Tracy says the goal is for him to be the everyday shortstop again.

If Sandoval does go on the IL — or if he's just ***** ped from the rotation for underperformance — the Sox do have another experienced starter on the roster who could take his rotation spot in Brayan Bello. The problem is that Bello, for whatever reason, is thriving in his long relief role after struggling in the first inning all season long. "Does this mean Brayan can't start anymore? That's not the case," Chad Tracy said. "It's difficult to ignore how very, very effective he has been coming out of the bullpen in a bulk relief role and taking down innings. So I don't think that we've closed the book on that by any means. It just feels like that's the way to do it right now." (Tim Healey, Boston Globe)

The Cincinnati Bengals really appear to have a big hit on their hands with rookie wideout Colbie Young.
Young, the fourth-round wideout who keeps making big plays in training camp…just keeps right on doing it.
One of the latest examples comes from over the weekend, where Young soared up to grab a contested catch from Joe Burrow. Dan ***** d provided the footage, plus a quote from Bengals wideouts coach Troy Walters:
Young himself talked about his growing connection with the star quarterback.
"As soon as I get out of my break, the ball is there. Like I've said, you can't guard a perfect ball," Young said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. "Just me and Joe trusting each other on that timing route. He makes it easy. All that pressure in his face, he has to read all the checks, and he still threw a perfect ball out there."

It feels like last summer's Newcastle United transfer window has had an enormous impact on this current one.
With Elanga and Wissa misfiring all campaign and Ramsey taking a while to show his quality, I wonder if the board are nervous of making the same mistakes and potentially overpaying for another underwhelming signing.
Our only real success of last season's transfers was Malick Thiaw who had never played a minute of Premier League football.
Add to that three of our best signings under this ownership have been Bruno, Isak and Tonali, who all fit that profile too.
Are the board becoming too obsessed with uncovering more of those and not trusting in the tried and tested?

Burned-out employees are often easy to spot. But what about people who some workplace experts describe as "rusting out" on the job?
A survey by scheduling software provider Deputy of hourly workers across the hospitality, retail, healthcare and other sectors found that many people are languishing in their jobs and are functionally less productive than their employers expect.
Roughly 15% of those polled reported feeling merely "OK" about their jobs, a sign that researchers say can lead to lackluster performance, Star Levandowski, senior vice president of business and people operations at Deputy, told CBS News. "We see that as an early indicator to rust out, when people are not feeling challenged enough," she said.
Think of a mechanical tool that's shiny and sharp when new, but that can get rusty over time if left hanging unused.
"If you feel like you're not being used to the best of your abilities, you feel like you're just hanging out, or rusting out," Levandowski said.
