Pirates get encouraging update on Nick Gonzales after scary exit for pitch to helmet vs. Red Sox originally appeared on SportsNet Pittsburgh. Add SportsNet Pittsburgh as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Friday night brought a much-needed win for the Pirates, taking down the Red Sox 8-4. But during the action, Pittsburgh's home fans watch took in a scary scene, with third baseman Nick Gonzales being hit in the helmet with a pitch.
In the fifth inning of Friday's matchup, Red Sox pitcher Jovani Moran threw a fastball that snuck up-and-in toward Gonzales' face, and the ball made contact with his helmet before it fell off and Gonzales bent over.
Fortunately for Gonzales and the Pirates, though, he appears to have avoided any significant injury.
The 94 mph fastball appeared to have only hit the helmet, rather than Gonzales' face, and while he left the game for precautionary reasons, he was able to walk around fine and shake it off.

The calendar has flipped to August. Which means we're in the dog days of the NBA's year-round calendar. Little will happen over the next two months as teams across the league prepare for the 2026-27 season. Before we move on, though, let's reflect one last time on last year.
The Oklahoma City Thunder had a league-best 64-18 regular-season record. Juggling injuries all year, they overcame notable absences all year. Alas, they fell short of a second NBA championship with a 2026 Western Conference Finals exit.
To reflect on their 2025-26 season, Thunder Wire will conduct player grades for all 20 players who suited up for them this past year. Twelfth up is Thomas Sorber, who missed his first season with a torn ACL:
This is the big one for Sorber. It'll be about 18 months between games. That's a long time to be sidelined in basketball. He missed the last month of his collegiate season with foot surgery in Feb. 2025. He then had a season-ending torn ACL in Sept. 2025. And then he had a second knee surgery in July 2025. He missed a second straight Summer League. The first time he'll get to suit up for OKC will be in the 2026-27 preseason. I'm not a medical expert, but a bunch of lower extremity surgeries this early in your career as a big man can be scary.
Let's see if Sorber can finally put this all behind him. The good news is torn ACLs are fairly easy to rebound from. The biggest consequence of the injury is the missed time involved with it. It'll be incredibly important for him to stay healthy in his first real year in the NBA. You have a four-year runway to show something after you get drafted.

Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Puka Nacua didn't hesitate when asked who gives him the most trouble on defense. Nacua quickly touted San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner as the most difficult defender to face when he runs routes in the middle of the field.
Nacua explained why Warner is the one defender he genuinely dreads seeing across from him on Sundays during an episode of Impaulsive.
"He's the best," Nacua said. "Everybody's really obviously so good in the NFL. There's ***** ody that covers that much ***** e. It's scary. The middle of the field is terrible. We'll run routes and I won't catch the ball and he's standing right there and he's like, 'I knew exactly where you're going.'"
Nacua said Warner's range makes it feel like the All-Pro linebacker is teleporting across the field mid-play.
"Dude, I swear when I started the play, you're on the left sideline and now you're right here standing next to me," Nacua recalled telling Warner. "He's like, 'That's just what I do.'"

The calendar has flipped to August. Which means we're in the dog days of the NBA's year-round calendar. Little will happen over the next two months as teams across the league prepare for the 2026-27 season. Before we move on, though, let's reflect one last time on last year.
The Oklahoma City Thunder had a league-best 64-18 regular-season record. Juggling injuries all year, they overcame notable absences all year. Alas, they fell short of a second NBA championship with a 2026 Western Conference Finals exit.
To reflect on their 2025-26 season, Thunder Wire will conduct player grades for all 20 players who suited up for them this past year. Eleventh up is Nikola Topic, who is suddenly in a now-or-never year in OKC:
This has been the biggest knock on Topic. Through two seasons, Topic has played just 10 games. He missed the entire 2024-25 season with a torn ACL. The Thunder knew that was going to be the case when they selected him with the No. 12 pick of the 2024 NBA draft. His 2025-26 season was completely derailed by a scary testicular cancer diagnosis, though. ***** ody saw that coming. He missed three months and eventually returned to make his NBA debut right before the All-Star break.
Now, it's about staying healthy. Right now, we're off to a bad start. Topic had back surgery in June 2026. Even though he's expected to be ready by training camp, that's another offseason lost to an injury. Durability has been his biggest enemy since he joined the NBA. Hopefully, for his peace of mind, he can have a normal regular season. The Thunder also need him to show something as he's already in his third season.

As the football season quickly approaches, high school teams across Arkansas are ramping up their practices in preparation for the upcoming games. In a scary turn of events, one Maumelle High School player discovered he had been unknowingly sharing his helmet with a dangerous reptile for more than an hour during an August practice session.
The player from Maumelle High School had been practicing with a cottonmouth, one of the most venomous snakes native to Arkansas, nestled in the padding of his helmet.
The snake went undetected throughout drills until the player noticed persistent discomfort and alerted the coaching staff. Upon closer inspection, the coaches were stunned to find the two-foot-long Cottonmouth coiled inside the helmet lining.
Cottonmouth snakes possess potent venom that, if bitten, can cause intense pain, swelling, and tissue damage. Although deaths are uncommon, prompt medical treatment is essential to prevent lasting tissue loss or scarring.
Maumelle Animal Services responded to the scene and carefully extracted the cottonmouth from the helmet without incident. The snake was safely relocated to a wooded area far from the school grounds.

Troy Aikman confesses about his "ridiculous" daily routine to protect brain after surviving 10 career concussions originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Troy Aikman took some brutal hits during his 12 years playing quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, racking up 10 documented concussions before he finally retired in 2001. Things got scary toward the end of his career when he suffered four concussions in just his last 20 starts. Aikman still calls two of those injuries severe.
Back then, the NFL didn't consider those head traumas as seriously as it does now, so he was constantly thrown back into games without any of the medical protocols or safety checks that players get today.
The best example happened during the 1993 NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers. Aikman took a knee to the head from a 49ers defender. According to reports, the hit caused temporary amnesia. He had to watch the film later just to see what happened.
Now at 58, Aikman openly admits he thinks about the long-term effects from time to time, but he doesn't let it ruin his life.

For most coaches, the issue of player concussions requires sympathy. Moving forward, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan will easily be able to empathize with players who have suffered head trauma.
In his first training-camp press conference following a July 11 automobile accident, Shanahan was asked if the severe concussion that he sustained will change his perspective on players who are dealing with the effects of brain injuries.
"Yeah, no doubt," Shanahan said. "I've been told so much by these guys, don't compare a sports concussion to an accident like this. I'm starting to realize that now. Just little things, like when they label things, like whether it's severe or mild. You hear someone has a mild one, I'm like, 'Oh, alright. It might be one game, but usually that's two.' Then you kind of learn those are just words. Each one's a little bit different. I definitely can relate to how scary it is when you don't know if you will feel right again. It's definitely made me more educated on it. Usually I just listen, and like, 'Tell me when, OK?' and I move on, but I understand it a lot better and what guys got to go through and the protocol to get back. There's not a protocol for me on paper, but it's really cool to be in a profession that knows what to do with those things. All the people that I need help from, it was already built in here. They've got a lot of experience with it, and it's been really good for me."
If anything, players need to be encouraged to not return until they're fully back to normal. Some players will try to hide their symptoms. Some will resist being evaluated. Some will tank the baseline cognitive exams so that it will be easier to be cleared to return. (Peyton Manning once admitted to doing that, before walking it back as a joke.)
Starting in 2009, when Congress got involved in the issue of brain health, the NFL began to take concussions very seriously. For the most part, it does. (There are still periodic lapses in the concussion-spotting process.)

PHILADELPHIA − Jalen Carter might be flush with a new contract that so far is the biggest for a defensive tackle in NFL history when he signed his four-year extension worth as much as $152 million on July 29.
It hasn't taken long for Carter to show why the Eagles are shelling out all of that money in a contract that keeps Carter signed through the 2031 season, when he will be 30 years old.
That's because no player on defense has been as dominant through the first week-plus of Eagles training camp than Carter.

Minnie Driver just revealed she was in a "really bad" car accident in a new video while wearing a neck brace.
On Thursday, August 6, the Good Will Hunting actress, 56, took to Instagram with a message for fans after the scary crash.
"Hi, guys. Paris update is that I'm actually back in London," Driver began the clip, while lying on her side on a bed with a neck brace and cuddling her dog. "I got into a really bad car accident a few days ago with my friend, Ben. And we somehow walked out of it. Well, we didn't walk out of it; we crawled out of it. But we did get out of it alive."
She continued, "To be very clear, it was not our fault. We were driving on a country road in the middle of France, and a car didn't stop at an intersection and was going at speed. And we just T-boned it."
Of her injuries, Driver said she has a sprained neck and is "sort of in shock and crying all the time." She added, "But I'm going to heal. And the reason I'm not dead, honestly, is the car that we were driving."

Chiefs receive huge Xavier Worthy update after scary practice exit originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Kansas City Chiefs are counting on a healthy Xavier Worthy to make a major impact in 2026 after injuries prevented the former first-round pick from reaching his full potential.
Selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, Worthy entered last season with sky-high expectations. His elite speed was expected to add another explosive dimension to Patrick Mahomes' offense, but those plans quickly hit a roadblock.
On just the third play of the Chiefs' season opener, Worthy suffered a shoulder injury that sidelined him and altered the course of his rookie campaign. Although he eventually returned to the field, he was never quite the same player.
Kansas City limited his route tree after his return, using him cautiously as he continued to recover. The restrictions prevented the blazing receiver from showcasing the game-breaking speed that made him one of college football's most dangerous playmakers.

The Commanders receiver corps obviously got better with the Stefon Diggs acquisition. The veteran is a top-tier route runner and a steady producer with a long track record of success. While he's 32 years old, Diggs can still move and make important catches in the clutch.
Head coach Dan Quinn has established a competitive Commanders training camp, but it's safe to say Diggs will eventually slot into the No. 2 receiver slot opposite Terry McLaurin. He's expected play significant time and get targeted a ton, even though he may not be a true every-down player after playing 55% of the offensive snaps in New England last season.
He'll also impact his position group just by joining it. A roster spot just got harder to earn at the position with Terry McLaurin, Diggs and third-round pick Antonio Williams as roster locks. Jaylin Lane's punt-return ability makes him darn-close to one, with maybe two more roster spots available. Fierce battles will be waged for those, among talented individuals.
A few thoughts on how the Diggs addition might impact the receiver corps.
Terry will remain scary while continuing to move around the formation as new coordinator David Blough always intended. McLaurin is the alpha around here, on a long-term deal and one of the longest-tenured players on the Commanders roster. He also has an even-keeled leadership vibe that will hold his position group together and help it improve with all the extra behind-the-scenes work he does.

Danny Silva isn't sure what his future holds inside or out of the cage.
The UFC featherweight was simply going through his usual training routine, but knew something was wrong. Silva (11-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) said he decided to push through as he often does, but things quickly became more concerning when he discovered swelling on his neck and chest.
According to Silva, a friend told him to go to the emergency room to get checked out. Heeding that advice may have saved Silva's life. Multiple blood clots and a pulmonary embolism were discovered. Silva said his hospital stay lasted three days, and although he's home now, there are still questions to be answered.
It was just a few months ago at UFC Fight Night 270 in London when Silva last competed. He faced Kurtis Campbell and won that fight by TKO in the second round to pull off an upset and bounce back from the first loss of his UFC run. While he didn't have another fight on the books just yet, now he wonders when, if ever, that may come – but he says he will keep fighting to continue his career.
Silva detailed the scary medical emergency in a lengthy Instagram post. Read Silva's full statement below (via Instagram):

Marlon Wayans is speaking out again about parenting. During a new interview, the actor, comedian, and father of three condemned spanking children as a form of discipline, saying doing so will only lead to resentment when they're older.
Marlon Wayans has made headlines before when speaking about parenting. Over the last several years, the "Scary Movie" actor has not only talked about loving his transgender son through thick and thin, but has also talked about the importance of protecting them from harm.
Speaking with Los Angeles radio station 92.3, Wayans said that his opinion on spanking children has changed as he's aged, noting that it does nothing except drive a wedge between the parent and child.
"Don't hit'em. Don't spank your kids, because it shows that you're a poor communicator. They're a baby. Why can't you talk to a baby?" Wayans said. "Every time you spank your kid, you're taking your potential best friend, and you're making them your enemy. You're hurting your potential best friend."

The Rays entered Friday's game with a three-game lead in the AL East, after the Yankees beat the Cubs in an afternoon affair at Wrigley Field, By the end of Friday's game, which saw the division lead cut to 2.5, the last completed trade was AJ Minter to the Twins. There is now less than three days until Monday's 6 pm deadline.
Nick Martinez took the mound for the Rays, and it wasn't a night to remember for the All-Star pitcher. He gave up six runs over six innings, all of them coming on four White Sox home runs. It's a scary thought to think about Martinez, who doesn't have overpowering stuff, facing teams like this in a postseason setting. There's still time to bolster this rotation, Erik.
The one bright spot for the Rays on Friday night was Junior Caminero hitting his 30th home run of the season. He's on pace to reach the 40 mark for a second straight season.
Alex Cook, who replaced Shane McClanahan on the active roster, made his Major League debut, pitching the seventh and eighth innings. Cook walked a pair and didn't record any strikeouts, but kept the White Sox off the board in his two innings of work. He leaned on his fastball, throwing it 76% of the time, occasionally mixing in a slider and changeup.
In Durham this season, Cook has thrown 33.1 innings with a 3.78 ERA.

Dwyane Wade: I definitely have a favorite championship and it's a no brainer. It's 2006. I love all my championships but that's my favorite because being a young kid at 24 years old. Everything just happened so fast in my life. 17 years old I'm like 'alright I'm putting everything into basketball' and then 24 winning a chip in the NBA. What? Being in the position where I was the leading man to accomplish that. My other championships I wasn't the leading guy. — that's the most proud I've ever been of myself.

Dwyane Wade: "LeBron is never going to do what you think he's going to do. I don't think any of us had Philly pinned as the number one team, but it's right on brand. For me, when I look at that, it's a bigger than just a championship. The roster is incredible right now, and so he gets a chance to get to that maybe five, six championships. Outside of that, I look at that as an off-the-basketball move as well. I feel like it's bigger than just the two years." — 7/29/2026 YouTube

Day four of Patriots training camp brought cornerback Christian Gonzalez to the podium.
It was the first time the star defensive back has talked to the media since owner Robert Kraft said Saturday the Patriots will offer Gonzalez a team-record and position-record contract. Gonzalez emphasized his desire to participate in camp despite the deal not being done.
"I mean, it's ball," Gonzalez said. "I'm going to come out and play some ball and have fun. We had a tough ending of the year that sits on everybody's mind all year, and I just wanted to get on the field and do what I do."
Gonzalez's teammates have commended his participation and attitude throughout the ongoing contract negotiations, and linebacker K.J. Britt noted the value he brings to the defense.
"Anytime you got a corner that can shut down a side of the field, and then with the defensive line you got, it's a scary combo," Britt said. "Very elite, smart, athletic, understands coverages and tendencies and techniques, and just a great player."

The New York Giants have a fighting chance to overtake their NFC East foes and win the division crown next season.
CBS Sports' John Breech ranked the Giants No. 3 overall in his ***** sment of each team that finished with the worst record in its respective division last season and its chances of going from worst to first in 2026.
If the Giants are going to have any chance of winning the division, they're going to need Jaxson Dart to take a huge step forward and he's going to have to do it while learning a new playbook that's being implemented by new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy. Bringing in Nagy certainly feels like a boom or bust decision: It could end up working out or it could end up derailing the season.
Of course, even if the offense is bad, the Giants could still contend, and that's because they have a scary defensive front. This is a team that could win games 13-10 if that's what they're forced to do.
The NFC East is strong. The Philadelphia Eagles are the reigning division champions. Despite losing A.J. Brown in a trade this offseason, they still possess the talent to finish well above .500, though a dip in the win column may occur after their 11-6 mark in 2025.

Things are not going well on the injury front for the Carolina Panthers.
Training camp got off on the wrong foot as starting linebacker Nic Scourton went down with a season-ending ACL injury. The franchise is also dealing with two offensive linemen, Damien Lewis and Robert Hunt, working their way back from injuries. And starting tackles Taylor Moton and Ikem Ekwonu are also currently injured and missing training camp, with both expected to miss the season opener.
So any new injuries at this point will be felt even harder, which is why a scary moment at camp on Tuesday immediately raised concerns.
Reports on Tuesday morning indicated that Panthers tight end Mitchell Evans, who made 17 appearances and 10 starts for Carolina as a rookie in 2025, went down with an apparent lower-body injury and had to be carted off the field – stoking concerns as injuries continued to mount for the franchise.
Luckily for the Panthers, there is a decent chance this injury won't turn out to be as serious as Scourton's was. Head coach Dave Canales said that Evans got rolled up on the play, and an initial examination did not indicate a serious injury.

It took 11 days for the public to learn Kyle Shanahan had been involved in a car accident on July 14. But since the announcement Saturday, it hasn't taken long for more details to come out about the scary collision that will limit the San Francisco 49ers head coach for the start of training camp.
Specifically, more has been revealed about the injuries Shanahan suffered after ESPN already reported he broke his nose, three ribs and his hand, suffered a severe concussion and required more than 40 stitches.
On Monday, PFT Live's Chris Simms said Shanahan's wife sent him pictures of the gory injuries his friend suffered, and they showed Shanahan nearly lost his eye.
"When you first see it and it's fresh and some of the cuts are still wide open, it's jarring. It's jarring. He was this close to maybe losing his right eye. The scar is so big right here," Simms said, pointing at his eye.
Those aren't the only new details to trickle out.

We can separate high-yield dividend stocks into two broad categories. The first group consists of companies with stable businesses that generate consistent cash flow and are very likely to continue paying -- and perhaps raising -- their dividends for the foreseeable future. The second are distressed corporations. They boast high yields because their share prices have fallen substantially, reflecting weak business fundamentals.
Many investors would put Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) in the second group. The drugmaker's shares have lost significant value over the past five years, as the company has failed to sustain the amazing success it achieved in the coronavirus market. However, there is much more to the story. Let's discuss why Pfizer's 7% forward yield is more sustainable than it appears at first glance.
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 »
Pfizer's revenue and earnings have declined over the past five years, while it has maintained and even increased its dividend. The company's payout ratio has soared as a result -- it is currently about 127%. That looks unsustainable. But Pfizer's cash payout ratio, a much better measure of whether the company can maintain its dividend program intact, looks less scary at 107.7%. Management is confident of the company's ability to sustain, and even increase, the payout moving forward. That isn't just wishful thinking: Pfizer could improve its business in the coming years and eventually post much stronger financial results.
Consider that Pfizer boasts highly promising programs in the pipeline that will yield brand-new approvals and label expansions. For instance, the company's Padcev is a cancer medicine that is currently one of its better-performing products. On July 10, Padcev earned approval for the treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer in combination with Merck's (NYSE: MRK) Keytruda. Padcev was granted the green light regardless of whether patients are eligible for Cisplatin, a chemotherapy drug for bladder cancer that is effective but comes with significant side effects. That's a big deal since many drugs for bladder cancer (including Padcev, initially) aren't approved regardless of Cisplatin eligibility.

The New York Giants are less than a week away from opening their 2026 training camp, and we have been previewing the team's various units. Today we look at the edge rushers.
The Giants have been stockpiling edge rushers the past few seasons, using top ****** ets to draft, trade for, and sign high-caliber players.
"I think our defensive front, man, it's scary. I love it. We have – we're almost cursed with too much talent. We have that – we have a matchup problem no matter what team we face. I think just being able to work together and just play off each other and continue to build that chemistry, that's going to be key for us," Kayvon Thibodeaux said.
Thibodeaux may be right. The talent runs so deep that he is currently a backup. This past April, the Giants drafted Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese, arguably the best pass rusher in the draft, and are shifting him to inside linebacker due to the logjam.
Bullen is back as one of the few holdovers from Brian Daboll's staff. He served in the same role under Daboll the past two years and was inserted as interim defensive coordinator for the final five games of 2025. He is well-respected among his peers and the players. An astute move by incoming head coach John Harbaugh to retain him.

Twins have been Erie-bound, two games past:
Stumbled fast and they’d go down.
Weary-facing today, but coming to play,
Cleveland, we say: we’re in town.
They went down two,
But then look who
Came up with thunder:
A Larnach bomb into the sky,
A three-run blast from Lee is why
We know we’d all walk a thousand miles
To watch the Twins beat you
Tonight.
Still scary early on when they gave up two
And we wondered if they’d ever win again.
But Lee, a solid hit, and they didn’t quit;
Tied it up so we could grin again.
It was even:
We’re believin’,
And now the thunder:

Jennifer Garner hasn't forgotten how scary it was when paparazzi chased her young children to get photos of her and ex-husband, Ben Affleck.
The "Alias" actor opened up about photographers trailing her kids during a stop by Evan Ross Katz's Netflix series, "Shut Up Evan." Garner has long advocated for child protections from paparazzi, and opened up about her own kids' experience.

"It was totally ludicrous. And it felt like, 'Poor little me, my poor little kids who have everything in the world,' but it was a danger to everyone around us," she shared in the episode.
Garner shared that if she "went through a yellow light, 15 cars would go through the red behind me."

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins will need to produce under center in 2026. Fernando Mendoza's presence in Las Vegas takes some pressure off of Cousins for next season, though in the event that the latter is named the starting QB, he will still carry major expectations on the year.
According to CBS Sports' Zachary Pereles, Cousins is one of four quarterbacks who face defining seasons in 2026 with their respective new teams.
Before the injury, Cousins was somewhat like Sam Darnold, whom Klint Kubiak really did well with last year. Can he still be somewhat similar to that, even if a step down? … They'll (the Raiders) hope Tyler Linderbaum helps elevate the unit as a whole, but Cousins behind an iffy line is a scary proposition. Expect a heavy dose of Bowers. Cousins found a good connection with Pitts last year; he'll feed his standout tight end.
Cousins is looking to bounce back from injuries that slowed him down for the last two years. The Raiders have an improved roster for next season, particularly on offense, with an upgraded offensive line and more depth in the backfield. The 37-year-old Cousins is expected to orchestrate that unit and be a mentor to Mendoza regardless of who gets the start in Week 1.
With the different ways that Cousins will be looked at to make an impact on the team in 2026 and set the tone for the franchise, he approaches a year that carries major implications for himself and the Raiders.
