Fans of the NFL's other 31 teams love to call out the Dallas Cowboys' supposed inflated ego and overblown opinion of how good they actually are. Well, then they'll love the latest vocabulary term floating around Oxnard, one that players and even coaches are using to set the bar for this year's offense. Topping this look at the latest headlines in Cowboys Nation, coordinator Klayton Adams says he has no problem with the "GOTI" moniker making the rounds, and is leaning into the idea that Dak Prescott & Co. could truly live up to their "Greatest Offense There Is" brand.
Defensively, Christian Parker continues to be the most interesting man in camp, or at least the most enigmatic. The DC says he's pleased with his unit's progress through the first few practices, highlighting their attention to detail and level of violence and physicality. And don't worry about the new guys; he says Caleb Downs and Jaishawn Barham are exactly as advertised thus far.
And did Brian Schottenheimer just let slip when he thinks the team will likely add roster help? Based on his latest comments, don't be surprised if there's a move made for a name player after the Cowboys' second preseason game versus Arizona on Aug. 28.
Scanning the league's other camps, Aaron Donald may be a big step closer to officially announcing a return for the Rams, and Houston's Tank Dell is back after a nasty injury and long recovery. And the Cardinals may be prepping to take the field in Canton for the Hall of Fame Game, but don't tune in looking to see rookie running back phenom Jeremiyah Love.
In other news, the Commanders have landed wide receiver Stefon Diggs, and Puka Nacua is taking serious aim at a big-money contract by hiring the same agent that just got Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Zay Flowers paid. The Steelers are under fire for possibly hiding an Aaron Rodgers illness before last season's playoff loss, and the Chiefs are playing in Arrowhead Stadium once again after a name change for their home venue.

Aaron Judge has been cleared to begin light workout activity, and the New York Yankees captain said he will return this season from the rib injury that's sidelined him since May 31.
"Oh, I'll be back this season. I don't know why I wouldn't be," the three-time AL MVP said Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. "That was always the plan to come back — sooner than later, definitely. But I never had a thought of not playing this year."
Judge was on the field in baseball gear Wednesday afternoon, stretching, jogging and doing shuffle slides with a resistance band. He was given the green light to take a step forward in his recovery progression after undergoing his latest scan Tuesday.
"Better news. Healing up. So, you get a chance to progress a little bit, do some running, do some more upper-body stuff, and kind of progress towards getting back out on the field and swinging it," he said. "I wish it was completely healed and the fracture was gone and start playing tomorrow, but that's not the case. But, great step forward."

NEW YORK — Aaron Judge jogged and stretched on the field at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, marking a significant step in his recovery from a broken rib.
Judge received clearance to begin light activity — including running and upper-body resistance work — after medical scans Tuesday showed progress with his injured rib.
The fracture is not completely healed, Judge said, but it has improved to a point where the Yankees slugger could ramp up his workload.
"It was great," Judge said after his on-field work. "I'm moving fine, moving great. My biggest thing was I wanted to start testing it a little bit and see what we've got, especially after getting some good news, so we can get one step closer."
Judge, 34, has not appeared in a game since May 31 due to the right rib stress fracture, an injury he believes he suffered while diving in right field more than a month before then.

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) said on August 3 that a North Korea-linked adversary injected a malicious dependency into at least 131 Mastra AI framework packages on npm (Node Package Manager). Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) owns GitHub, which acquired npm in 2020 and operates the registry at the center of the attack chain.
This was a developer-supply-chain breach with unusually efficient distribution. Stolen maintainer credentials let the attacker publish poisoned Mastra versions tagged as the latest releases. The malicious easy-day-js dependency then ran during installation, exposing developer machines and build pipelines to credential theft and remote code execution. CrowdStrike found that 87% of identified software-registry threats in the first half of 2026 involved npm packages.

Microsoft's role cuts both ways. GitHub controls the registry infrastructure, and its advisory database powers npm audit, so repeated account takeovers increase the burden to harden publishing and dependency scanning. Yet Microsoft's own June 17 investigation identified more than 140 affected Mastra packages and detailed detections across Defender Antivirus, Defender for Endpoint and Defender XDR. The same incident that creates reputational risk for npm also gives Microsoft another reason to sell integrated security.
The more direct demand read-through belongs to CrowdStrike. Its fiscal Q1 2027 revenue grew 26% to $1.39 billion, while annual recurring revenue rose 24% to $5.51 billion. Hedge-fund ownership also increased to 79 portfolios at the end of Q1 2026 from 67 in Q4 2025, according to Insider Monkey's database. The valuation is the restraint: a roughly $190 billion market value equals about 32 times CrowdStrike's $5.91 billion to $5.96 billion fiscal-year revenue guidance. The business must sustain growth near the mid-20% range for that multiple to remain comfortable.

NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge has been cleared to begin light workout activity, and the New York Yankees captain said he will return this season from the rib injury that's sidelined him since May 31.
The three-time AL MVP was on the field at Yankee Stadium in baseball gear Wednesday afternoon, stretching, jogging and doing shuffle slides with a resistance band. He was given the green light to take a step forward in his recovery progression after undergoing his latest scan Tuesday.
Still, it will be a while before Judge is back in the lineup. He must first advance to taking swings, and neither he nor Yankees manager Aaron Boone offered a target date for the slugger's return.
Judge is on the 60-day injured list with a stress fracture of his right rib. He is hitting .248 with 17 homers and 38 RBIs but had just one homer in his last 18 games before going on the IL.

The Pittsburgh Steelers aren't going to be a popular Super Bowl pick by many. And according to a recent report, the network that will air Super Bowl LXI hopes Pittsburgh is not playing in the game.
According to a report from The Daily Mail, many within ESPN are hoping the Steelers don't make the Super Bowl due to Aaron Rodgers' bad relationship with the network.
This stems from the four-time MVP's recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show where he called out the network for not discussing the scandal involving Dianna Russini and New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. Rodgers also called out Dr. Anthony Fauci in a rant pertaining to the COVID vaccine. Rodgers doesn't keep his distain for ESPN a secret, saying that he gave the network a list of specific people he would speak to for an interview.
Rodgers infamously had beef with ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, telling Schefter to "lose my number" amid trade rumors back in 2023.
While a Super Bowl berth would send the city of Pittsburgh into pure euphoria, step one is winning a playoff game, something Pittsburgh hasn't done since the 2016 season – a trend Rodgers and new head coach Mike McCarthy hope to change.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — There are three guarantees in life: Death, taxes, and head coach Bret Bielema finding gems at the quarterback position, courtesy of the transfer portal.
From one-year icon Tommy DeVito to campus legend Luke Altmyer and now, a battle-tested Kaitin Houser. Bielema has an eye for QBs looking for a new home to make a name for themselves.
Yet, a position fight that Bielema admits is a "non-storyline battle" is the fight for QB2.
Behind Houser, Illinois has constructed a three-man, gunslinging depth chart with determined young men who are ready to step up, get under center, and put it all on the line for the squad when needed. So, determining who will be the number two is a true challenge.
Bielema revealed during his media availability Tuesday night that his staff added cameras to their quarterbacks' equipment, not only to see how they scan the field, but also to hear how they talk to their teammates.

A new tie-up with a huge name in the tech sector was a key factor driving up the price of Commvault Systems (NASDAQ: CVLT) stock on Monday. The data protection specialist also benefited from general investor bullishness on the tech sector. At market close, Commvault's stock was up by more than 6%.
Commvault kicked things off before market open by announcing a new collaboration with an old partner, core Alphabet unit Google. Under the terms of the deal, Commvault's Threat Scan software will be integrated into the Google Threat Intelligence security solution.
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 »
Commvault said that with this, it "can help customers transform global threat intelligence into actionable recovery insights, enabling organizations to identify clean recovery points faster and accelerate recovery following cyberattacks."
The company added that the Threat Scan integration with Google's solution would be available in the coming months; it did not get more specific. It also didn't provide any financial details of the new arrangement.

With a new NFL season right around the corner, appearances from Aaron Rodgers on the "Pat McAfee Show" might once again become commonplace. Monday, though, was arguably his most explosive showing on the podcast yet.
Tackling a wide variety of topics, he reserved his worst vitriol for Dr. Anthony Fauci after the US Senate hearing on the government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. After some choice words were directed at Fauci, the former Chief Medical Advisor's lawyer fired back at Rodgers.
Last year, it seemed like the four-time MVP was putting a pause on his appearances on McAfee's show. It appears that trend is very much alive in what is shaping up to be his final season in the NFL.
His first appearance, though, tackled everything under the sun. From off-field scandals in the NFL to the Senate hearing on Fauci, Rodgers wasn't backing down from any issue.
His comments drew a direct response from Fauci's team as well. Through Saad Yousuf of The Athletic, Fauci's lawyer, David Schertler, sent a stern message:

Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit have spent years trying to turn a modest island cabin into a showcase of Norwegian design — an ambitious renovation that stalled just as it was about to break ground. Now a storm named Amy has done what years of royal scandal couldn't: it forced their hands. The tempest tore apart one of the docks on Flatholmen, the tiny island the couple has owned since 2008. The damage has produced the first real building permit the property has seen in years — not for the glass-and-timber dream house long promised, but for a humble pier.

According to Norwegian outlet TV2, the municipality of Risør has cleared the crown prince and princess to rebuild the storm-wrecked dock. It's a modest approval, capped at six square meters, but it matters; without a working dock, the island is barely reachable, and any future revival of the couple's long-shelved architectural project would need one regardless.
The permit came with a catch. A companion request — for a seaside platform of the kind common along Norway's coast — was withdrawn after the state administrator recommended against it. The dock itself only cleared because of an unusual technicality: one of Flatholmen's existing moorings is used by police, which let the municipality authorize a second access point without setting a precedent for other landowners. Haakon and Mette-Marit will cover both the construction and the roughly $575 in municipal fees themselves. Notably, the original dock — built sometime between 1982 and 2004 — never had a formal permit at all, so this approval is being processed as new construction from scratch.

Arsenal's summer has reached that familiar point when silence can sound louder than noise. A week that felt relatively still may yet prove hugely significant, a pause before decisions of great consequence. According to The Athletic, the club's ambitions are now trained on two names of elite pedigree, Bruno Guimaraes and Vinicius Junior, targets who would alter the look, feel and authority of Mikel Arteta's squad.
There is something instructive in the calibre of the names involved. **** nal are no longer scanning merely for depth, or rummaging around the margins of the market. They are trying to sit at football's top table. The source report states clearly that "Bruno Guimaraes and Vinicius Junior are **** nal's top targets to strengthen midfield and attack respectively." That sentence alone tells its own story about where **** nal believe they are, and where they intend to go next.
Photo IMAGO
For a club who have spent several seasons rebuilding standards, sharpening recruitment and developing a side capable of contesting the biggest honours, this is the moment when squad evolution meets institutional confidence. **** nal are seeking upgrades that would not simply improve the XI, but elevate the club's stature across Europe.
The more immediate intrigue surrounds Guimaraes. **** nal's interest in the Newcastle midfielder has lingered long enough to become one of the defining sagas of the summer, and the latest indications suggest movement may finally be close. The Athletic reports that "Sources at **** nal and Newcastle suggest that the protracted pursuit of Guimaraes is now entering its end game." That is a loaded phrase, one that implies the process is advancing beyond admiration and towards resolution.

With The Pat McAfee Show broadcasting live from Steelers training camp on Monday, it was no surprise that Aaron Rodgers was set to make an appearance. How that appearance went was either surprising, or exactly what you might have expected, depending on how much attention you've been paying to appearances on the show over the years.
The biggest headlines Rodgers made stemmed from his jokes about "pleading the fifth," referencing the recent Senate hearing at which former NIAID director Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment. He went on to call Fauci an "absolute coward." Rodgers has made his feelings on the COVID-19 pandemic exceedingly clear, so those comments, while fiery, didn't come as all that big of a surprise.
What was a bit more shocking was the shot that Rodgers took at ESPN, the network he was appearing on. Rodgers first expressed frustration with ESPN for spending time covering his own vaccination status while not covering the recent hearings. He later pivoted to calling out the network for what he believed was a lack of coverage of the scandalous relationship between NFL insider Dianna Russini and New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel that came out over the summer.
"What was this network doing?" Rodgers asked. "You had literally an individual that maybe used to work at ESPN, that covers our league at the highest level, and there's a major scandal, and it's just like ****** ody can f*cking talk about it? What are we even doing here?"
"Personal lives are personal lives," joked a member of McAfee's crew. "I feel like you of all people should know that."

Aaron Rodgers no longer appears regularly on "The Pat McAfee Show," but he still returns occasionally to share his opinions.
That was the case on Monday, when McAfee broadcast his show live from Pittsburgh Steelers training camp. The veteran quarterback discussed the upcoming Steelers season, but first aired a few of his personal gripes.
Rodgers went on a tangent targeting TV networks and Dr. Anthony Fauci in the aftermath of Fauci's government hearing. He then briefly brought up the Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini scandal and said he believes TV networks didn't cover it with as much attention.
Overall, it was simply Rodgers venting after spending much of the last half-decade at the center of the sports world. Here's what he had to say.

June's NBA Finals should remind us of excellence, discipline and the way sports can lift the human spirit. Instead, Stephen Curry's partnership with apparel company Li-Ning points in the other direction. It binds one of America's most admired athletes to a Chinese company already under serious scrutiny for forced labor. **** ody can pretend the moral cost of doing business with Communist China is a mystery anymore.
What makes this so disappointing is that Curry is not simply a gifted player: He is a global figure whose public standing rests on more than championships. It rests on judgment, character and the sense that he takes serious things seriously. When a man like that signs a reported 10-year, $400 million deal with Li-Ning, he is not just changing brands. He is lending his good name to a company shadowed by one of the great human rights scandals of our time.
Sports at their best can do something rare. They can take fame, which is often fleeting and shallow, and turn it toward service. They can show that athletic greatness and moral witness do not have to live in separate worlds. That is why decisions like this matter. The larger the platform, the larger the responsibility.
Curry's decision is so troubling because it places the honor attached to athletic excellence beside a system of coercion. The U.S. Department of Labor states that since 2016 the Chinese Communist Party has subjected Uyghurs and other mostly Muslim minorities in Xinjiang "to genocide, state-imposed forced labor, and crimes against humanity." It describes labor transfers, surveillance, indoctrination and coercive factory work as part of a broad machinery of control.
These are not careless accusations. They are specific charges documented by the U.S. government and corroborated by international investigators.

Lia Godfrey scored the lone goal as the San Diego Wave upset the Washington Spirit 1-0 on Sunday.
In other National Women's Soccer League matches, the Utah Royals crushed the Portland Thorns 5-1, and and the Boston Legacy played to 1-1 draw with the Denver Summit.
Off a turnover, second half substitute Trinity Byars drew multiple defenders to her before the ball found its way to Godfrey. She got to the ball before goalkeeper Sandy MacIver and slotted it home in the 60th minute for the Wave (10-6-2).
Wave attacker Kimmi Ascanio left due to injury in the 62nd minute, visibly shaken and limping off the field.

When you're at a modern wedding, it's typically just the bride who wears a white dress. However, when Catherine Middleton, Princess of Wales, married William, Prince of Wales, in 2011, her sister Pippa Middleton also (in)famously wore a white gown. The fit of the dress proved to be one of Pippa's most scandalous outfits. Some thought that the look drew focus from Kate's wedding dress, even with all its details, since Pippa's was an ivory-colored gown. But there's been a long tradition, rooted in superstition, of having the bridesmaid and maid of honor dresses match the bride's dress. It crosses cultures, and it's been in place for centuries. It has to do with preventing the bride from being stolen from her wedding.
"A bride would have attendants to protect her from evil spirits," Dr. Angela Thompson, who teaches sociology at Texas Christian University, told The New York Times. "By having several women who are dressed alike, the spirits, or kidnappers, wouldn't know which person was the bride." She also noted that this was a superstition that you can find in places like Rome and China, dating back thousands of years. So since the bride's dress is white, the bridesmaid dresses should also be white.

As for why royal wedding gowns, and therefore royal bridesmaid dresses, have been white in recent years, it goes back in large part to Queen Victoria's wedding to Prince Albert in 1840. Her white wedding dress — one of the many royal wedding dresses that hid a secret message — also helped popularize the trend for all brides to choose white for their wedding. She donned a white satin, silk, and lace gown with a full skirt. Before that, wealthy women had worn white dresses for their weddings, but colors like red were also popular, and less well-to-do women often wore a brown or black dress that was less likely to show stains so it could be reworn frequently.

Fresh off the news of the merger with Most Valuable Promotions, Professional Fighters League continued its "Summer Series" runof events with a surge of momentum.
Two of the company's top superstars made their return aslightweight champion UsmanNurmagomedov put his ***** le on the line against undefeatedchallenger ArchieColgan, and DakotaDitcheva denied DeniseKielholtz following a year on the shelf.
Following a brutal and decisive first-round finish over Colgan,there are immediate questions on the future of Nurmagomedov and hisplace in the company, as he just fought out the last fight of hiscontract. Nurmagomedov made it a point to see how the PFL/MVPmerger would lead to a contract offer in terms of pay, and if theykeep him, there's a clear top contender in Shabliy. DefeatingAlfieDavis by unanimous decision last month, Shabliy discussed hisdesire for a ***** le fight and he could get a chance at revenge froma 2024 loss to Nurmagomedov.
Taking on Kielholtz in her first action in over a year, Ditchevadid not have her most outstanding performance, and it was clear shewas shaking off some rust. Ditcheva would control the pace anddistance, grabbing momentum early and never letting it go. Aftergetting the rust off, it's time for the most anticipated women'smatchup in the PFL to take place against last year's tournamentchampion in Carmouche. Getting a recent win over VivianeAraujo, these two women are on a collision course and thereshould be no more time wasted.
Magomedov's performance proved there is another Russian star on thepromotion's roster. Part of the Nurmagomedov team, Magomedov waselectric in his manhandling of AngelAlvarez, chopping down his legs with brutal kicks andeventually getting the TKO finish in the second round. He shouldnow face off against the 2025 PFL Lightweight tournament champion.Davis just suffered a loss to Shabliy back in June, but could getright back into the top of the division if he can stop the momentumof Magomedov. Davis has said that he felt he fought his best in hisloss against Nurmagomedov, who knows Magomedov well, and he couldserve as a great test to see just how quickly he can get himselfback to ***** le contention.
Dayron arguably went through the toughest test of his career and itwas also his closest fight, as he pulled off a razor-thin decisionover RaufeonStots. His opponent was thoroughly shocked at the decision, butit saw Dayron keep his undefeated record intact. Even with the win,Dayron would benefit from another veteran test, and he'd get justthat in Pettis. Recently, Pettis was scheduled to square offagainst LewisMcGrillen-Evans but had to withdraw due to injury, if Pettiscan get healthy sooner than later, he would serve as another greattest for Dayron.

A high-profile election ***** yst said Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) may give Democrats a real shot at finally winning a statewide race in Texas given the electoral weakness of his opponent, state Attorney General Ken Paxton (R).
"Since 1994, I've gotten call after call virtually every day from Texans in politics on the Democratic side, saying, 'This is the year. We're finally gonna do it,'" University of Virginia Center for Politics Director Larry Sabato said Thursday in an interview with CNN's Erin Burnett that referenced a Fox News poll showing Talarico with a 51 percent lead over Paxton's 48 percent.
"But you know what? I'm starting to believe it's actually possible this year," he added.
Sabato argued that while Talarico was a "great candidate," the real opportunity for a win hinged on Paxton's political liabilities. "Paxton is so awful," he said.
The political ***** yst pointed to a string of Paxton's legal troubles and scandals, including being impeached by the Texas House, facing 20 charges of misconduct in office, indictments on three felony securities fraud charges and an extramarital affair.

Next up in the opponent preview series is the Michigan Wolverines. After an up-and-down season, which ended in the firing of Sherrone Moore and the first loss to Ohio State since 2019, Michigan decided to hire longtime Utah coach Kyle Whittingham. The Wolverines will look to put years of on- and off-the-field scandals behind them and return to their identity of being tough and physical in the trenches.
Rutgers has had an interesting history with the Wolverines, sealing their first-ever Big Ten victory over UM in 2014 with Kemoko Turay blocking a late field goal attempt to preserve a 26-24 win and prompting a field storm at SHI Stadium. Since then, it has all been downhill, including the infamous 78-0 loss that still leaves a pit in Rutgers' fans' stomachs.
More recently, Knights fans have struggled with much closer losses to the program, which offer a different type of heartache. There was a string of three surprisingly competitive games against a stronger Michigan team, including a 48-42 3OT escape by UM in 2020, a frustrating 20-13 Rutgers loss in Ann Arbor in 2021, and a shocking 17-14 halftime lead for the Knights at home turning into a 52-17 Michigan rout in 2022.
The last meeting between the sides was arguably the most anticlimactic, with Rutgers falling to Michigan 31-7 after an early Christian Dremel touchdown put RU up 7-0. The Knights have not seen the Wolverines since that 2023 meeting, which was the year Michigan won the national championship.
With the history being unpacked, let us turn our attention to this year's Michigan Wolverines and what to expect when Whittingham's team arrives in New Jersey on what should be an interesting Halloween gameday.

CHICAGO — Kyle Whittingham is a tone-setter. At Michigan, he also has to be a stain remover. The 66-year-old former Utah frontman is tasked with ameliorating a program tainted by scandal.
Whittingham was hired by Warde Manuel, an athletic director who's now stepping down at the end of the calendar year after being implicated in an internal investigation "into the circumstances surrounding the conduct" of fired Wolverines football head coach Sherrone Moore. Manuel, according to an FAQ the school put out earlier this month about the investigation and its corresponding culture review, demonstrated "failures to quickly and effectively act on allegations of wrongdoing by Athletic Department employees."
Moore, notably, was arrested by police and fired by Michigan in December for what the university described as an "inappropriate relationship" with a staff member. He faced a collection of charges, including a charge of felony home invasion, although he dodged jail time by reaching a plea deal earlier this year.
The nefarious web extends further, of course, as Moore's two-season stint at the helm began when he officially took over for Jim Harbaugh, who was in charge of the Wolverines when they were marred by their infamous sign-stealing scheme. That ploy resulted in some casting a perverse shadow over the national ******* le Michigan won during the 2023 season. Even before that saga began, Harbaugh got caught up in recruiting violations at Michigan.
For years, Wolverines players have found themselves in a vacuum of controversy and uncertainty. Whittingham, after a 21-season tenure piloting the Utes, yearns to bring stability to Ann Arbor.

Ryan Reynolds is a big name in Hollywood. He's Deadpool. He owns the football club Wrexham A.F.C, and with the docuseries Welcome to Wrexham, has made the team one of the most successful sports stories in the past few years. And yet these days, people keep trying to make his career about his wife, Blake Lively, and her recent issues with It Ends With Us co-star and director, Justin Baldoni.
The return of Deadpool, and Reynolds appearing as the character at the Marvel panel at 2026's San Diego Comic Con, is, according to The Daily Mail, proof that Reynolds isn't as affected by the scandal as some expected and maybe even hoped.

China has started producing domestic immersion deep-ultraviolet lithography tools, Reuters reported on July 28. State-backed Shanghai Aishengna Electronic Technology Group plans to deliver machines to Semiconductor Manufacturing International, Hua Hong Semiconductor and memory producer ChangXin Memory Technologies. Production is expected to remain small, at roughly five systems in 2026 and about 20 in 2027.
The news struck ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:ASML) through direct product substitution. Export controls already block the company from selling its most advanced extreme-ultraviolet systems into China, leaving DUV scanners as the main lithography category available there. ASML said China generated 29%, or about €9.5 billion, of 2025 net sales; Reuters Breakingviews noted that this revenue was ***** ociated with DUV machines and services. A domestic machine that passes production qualification could replace specific future ASML scanner orders and reduce Chinese fabs' dependence on ASML service, even if those fabs still prefer its performance.
"Viable" remains the unresolved word. Reuters reported that the Chinese systems still trail ASML in performance and reliability and require further testing. Chipmakers require overlay accuracy, yield, throughput and uptime in sustained high-volume production. Planned output is also modest beside ASML's installed base. The development raises a strategic risk to future China sales, but it does not show that ASML's tools have been replaced.
Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) is connected through a named competitor and a manufacturing bottleneck. CXMT, one of the intended tool recipients, competes in DRAM. If locally serviceable immersion DUV equipment eventually lets CXMT qualify and add reliable commodity-memory output despite tighter foreign-tool restrictions, the additional bits could pressure industry pricing and Micron's margins. That is a supply-curve risk, not evidence that the new tools can already produce competitive high-bandwidth memory for leading AI accelerators.
Micron's current results push against the most bearish interpretation. For its fiscal third quarter ended May 28, the company reported $41.46 billion of revenue and said data center revenue exceeded $25 billion. Management also said DRAM and NAND demand continued to exceed industry supply. China's DUV progress can influence the future supply curve without invalidating those current conditions.

Kawhi Leonard's NBA future hangs in the balance, and the latest update on the Aspiration scandal investigation is not quite positive.
One of the biggest announcements of the offseason was Kawhi Leonard being traded to the Toronto Raptors, where he won his second NBA championship.
However, quite soon after the deal was announced, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Raptors announced that the deal would be on hold until the investigation into the Aspiration scandal was concluded.
The Clippers are suspected of circumventing the league's salary cap to pay Leonard. And while they have denied it, the investigation still continues. And it seems like it might not be resolved anytime soon.

As the Kawhi Leonard scandal continues to worsen, the LA Clippers are remaining firm in their stance.
The Clippers and Leonard came under scrutiny last season when investigative reporter Pablo Torre unearthed documents about Aspiration, a company he alleges the team used to pay the superstar beyond the salary cap under the table.
And with Leonard's trade to the Raptors being paused amid an investigation from the NBA, and Torre's newest report, the Clippers have issued a response.

Jordyn Woods opened up about the challenges of growing up in the public eye. The 28-year-old social media personality, who is engaged to Karl-Anthony Towns, said she experienced an adult life at a young age.
The NBA Finals are over, but Woods' lucky bag remains a hot topic. Talking about her viral game-day accessory, she said it became a lucky charm for her and Knicks fans everywhere. The New York Knicks won their first NBA championship since 1973 this year. Fans credited the team's success to many factors, including Woods' lucky bag.
Woods told Bustle in a July 29 interview that losing her father in 2017 forced her to grow up quickly. Woods said she has always felt like the same person she was as a child and described herself as an "old soul." She added that the journey was not easy or quick and required a lot of healing.
She said she grew up without a role model she could truly relate to. She explained that while her social media may show one side of her life, the person she is beyond the screen is very different. She then recollected, "The bag was pretty epic, because that was the most organic marketing I could have ever had. I couldn't even pay for marketing like that; it just happened. I don't think I've really processed how crazy that whole thing is." Woods created the bag under her own label, Woods by Jordyn.
Woods rose to fame through her childhood friendship with Kylie Jenner and appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. While the fame may look rosy, it always has a flip side. In 2019, she found herself at the center of a highly publicized cheating scandal involving Tristan Thompson, who was dating Khloé Kardashian at the time.

She then recollected, "The bag was pretty epic, because that was the most organic marketing I could have ever had. I couldn't even pay for marketing like that; it just happened. I don't think I've really processed how crazy that whole thing is." Woods created the bag under her own label, Woods by Jordyn.
Woods rose to fame through her childhood friendship with Kylie Jenner and appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. While the fame may look rosy, it always has a flip side. In 2019, she found herself at the center of a highly publicized cheating scandal involving Tristan Thompson, who was dating Khloé Kardashian at the time.

Liverpool are preparing a move for Bradley Barcola so we asked if you think the quotation is a fair one. Paris St-Germain value the 23-year-old at around £145m, while the Reds think any deal should be around £100m.
Here are some of your comments:
John: Truly flabbergasted at his price. Not denying his quality and potential but when you hear Vinicius Jr is valued at £137m you have to give your head a scratch.
Lee: He's proved his worth. A big signing for the new manager makes sense, get the season started with a buzz. Realistically we still need to look at the back four conundrum though.
Kate: I think its scandalous the amount of money paid for these players! It's going up and up. If you want the best around then they know you'll pay but look what happened last season. I'm on the fence here, I do want Barcola but at that price, I think we should invest in quality, experienced defenders instead. We don't want a weak backline. Iraola knows how to get the best out of what we've got. We need defenders.
