The Mavericks' minority owner, Mark Cuban, reacted to the NBA's recent verdict in the Kawhi Leonard salary-cap circumvention controversy with the Clippers.
"Congrats, Pablo," wrote Cuban on X.
NBA fans took to social media and saw the billionaire businessman's two-word response. They flooded the comment section with criticism, calling Cuban out for backtracking on his comments about Pablo Torre, the investigative journalist who first reported the story.
"Not sure how you thought they were innocent. This smelled like rotting fish from the beginning."
"Man…you were so wrong in this one. Always side with the smarter people…Pablo is much smarter than Ballmer. And Pablo actually works for a living."

CNN host and former advisor to President Barack Obama Van Jones questioned if Michigan Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed thought he was "smarter than Barack Obama" on foreign policy in fiery comments discussing the "dangerous" beliefs held by many progressive figures in the Democratic Party.
El-Sayed, a vocal critic of Israel and former CNN commentator, has been embroiled in political controversies regarding his stance toward Israel and his relationship with a famous left-wing livestreamer, Hasan Piker.
In late August, Jones appeared on the "Ask Haviv Anything" podcast, where he addressed how the long and historic alliance between Black and Jewish Americans has recently fractured. He went on to criticize El-Sayed over his stance on Israel, saying, "his positions on Israel and foreign policy are insane."
"Look, some Democrats are going to say that we should condition military aid. That, you know, 'Israel's gone too far in Gaza and in the West Bank and in Lebanon. We're going to put some conditions on you.' I think that's a defensible position if you're a Democrat," he said. "That's not Abdul's position."

Delta Air Lines is betting big on artificial intelligence (AI) — and the technology could eventually change not just how the airline operates, but how much passengers pay to fly.
In a recent discussion, Delta CEO Ed Bastian said AI could ultimately improve the airline's profitability by as much as 50%, largely by helping the company make faster, smarter decisions and reduce costs. Bastian described the opportunity as potentially moving Delta's profit margin from around 10% to 15%, which would amount to billions of dollars.

Michael Saylor says Bitcoin passes what he calls the Bernard Arnault test, a rule he uses to decide whether an **** et deserves serious money.
The Strategy executive chairman posted the argument on Monday in a short video clip on X, urging followers to think like a billionaire before committing capital.
Bernard Arnault chairs LVMH Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, the luxury group behind Louis Vuitton, Sephora and Tiffany & Co. The company owns 75 fashion and cosmetics labels. Forbes ranks Arnault 11th in the world with $142.3 billion.
Saylor borrows the name as shorthand for buyers at the very top of the wealth ladder. His test turns on a single question about future demand.
"Bitcoin passes the Bernard Arnault test. The Bernard Arnault test is this: I have a lot of money, what should I invest it in? I should buy something that someone richer than me, smarter than me, and more cultured than me will want to buy from me in ten years," Saylor said.

After a long dry spell, retailer Target (NYSE: TGT) is back on track.
That's the quick takeaway from last quarter's earnings report anyway. The company's same-store sales grew 3.8% year-over-year on a 3.6% improvement in foot traffic for the three months ending in early August, driving total top-line growth of 5.3%, and marking the second strong quarter in a row following yet-another disappointing year ending in early February.

Rare-earth elements are central to advanced technologies, including those used in defense. For decades, China has tightened its grip on the mining and processing of these crucial materials, raising concerns among U.S. policymakers.
Research from The Motley Fool shows that China accounts for roughly 70% of rare-earth extraction and 90% of rare-earth processing. In response, there is a renewed focus on boosting domestic mining and processing of rare-earth elements.

Two rare-earth companies generating buzz are MP Materials (NYSE: MP) and The Metals Company (NASDAQ: TMC). Both companies could be key players in helping the U.S. secure rare-earth elements, but one in particular stands out as the smarter investment choice that could pay off sooner rather than later.
When you compare MP Materials and The Metals Company (TMC), the differences are stark. MP Materials operates the Mountain Pass rare-earth mine and processing facility, the only active rare-earth mining and processing site of scale in North America. In contrast, TMC is a development company exploring the collection and processing of polymetallic nodules on the seafloor, a practice known as deep-sea mining.

Right now, there are two companies dominating the artificial intelligence (AI) memory discussion: Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) and Sandisk (NASDAQ: SNDK). ***** ysis of which of these memory specialists deserves a place in your portfolio often centers on the same talking points: soaring demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and flash storage.
What receives far less attention, however, is the architecture of each company's long-term positioning. Examining the lesser-discussed strengths and vulnerabilities of Micron and Sandisk suggests that the smarter choice is not to pick a single winner.

Micron's competitive advantage stems from the company's history of treating memory as a connected system rather than a commodity. While competitors continue chasing density milestones, Micron spent decades refining its DRAM and NAND portfolios so that the two can be co-optimized. This strategy is paying off as AI workloads increasingly demand both ultra-low latency and massive sequential throughput.
While this cross-pollination is not featured in headlines, smart investors understand that this approach allows Micron to prototype hybrid memory solutions faster than pure-play rivals such as Samsung or SK Hynix. As a result, Micron can respond swiftly to shifts in AI model architecture without waiting for its external partners to catch up.

Dan Campbell saw more than a preseason win Saturday.
He saw a Detroit Lions defense that looks more comfortable inside Kelvin Sheppard's system, more capable of understanding what offenses are trying to do and, in Campbell's words, simply smarter than it was a year ago.
Detroit beat Washington 17-13 at Ford Field, and the defense provided several of the afternoon's most encouraging moments. D.J. Wonnum sacked Jayden Daniels during Washington's opening possession, while rookie Derrick Moore later recorded a sack and forced fumble in his preseason debut. The Lions also consistently played with Washington backed up in its own territory, something Campbell credited to the combination of defense and special teams.
The bigger takeaway for Campbell wasn't one sack or one preseason performance.
It was how much more the defense appears to understand.

In 2025, 87% of borrowers paid higher than the best available mortgage rate for their credit profile — often because they didn't shop around, according to Bankrate's Hidden Homeownership Tax research.
Refinancing can lower your interest rate and cut thousands of dollars off the total cost of your loan.
Staying with your current lender out of convenience can mean paying a hidden "loyalty tax." Below, we break down when sticking with your lender pays off and when it costs you.
You can refinance with your current lender or switch to a new one — there's no rule requiring you to do either. The real question isn't whether you're allowed to change lenders (you are); it's whether it's the smarter move for your finances.
That decision comes down to more than just comparing your current lender's offer against the competition. Whether you're thinking of refinancing to tap into home equity or snag a lower rate, here's how to weigh the convenience of staying put against what you might be leaving on the table by not shopping around.

Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron, is making waves with his net worth compared to his mother, Melania's. A recent report suggested that Trump's youngest son is comparatively richer than his mother. This comes after the debut of his beverage brand.
According to a Forbes report, Barron Trump has a higher net worth than his mother, Melania Trump's. The outlet suggests Barron is worth about $150 million, which is his share in the Trump family-owned cryptocurrency firm World Liberty Financial. Barron is credited as the firm's co-founder, and the President has claimed he learned about crypto from his son.
While Barron, 20, stands at $150 million, ******* o Magazine reported earlier that the First Lady, Melania, is worth $70 million, putting her below her son on the list of Trump family members' wealth.
The reports quickly went viral on social media, with a Reddit user commenting, "A net worth of $150 million, and he's never worked a day in his life." A second user stated, "What a genius, he must be a million% smarter and hardworking than every other 20yo guy, I wonder what kind of business this little genius succeed on with no help of his daddy money or influences."
Barron also recently entered the beverage sector with his company, SOLLOS Yerba Mate, and launched his own Pineapple + Coconut 12-pack drink, priced at $39. Barron is credited as the company's director and formed it with help from close friends.

Fantasy football managers are smarter than ever, so finding a player who's actually being slept on can be difficult. With that in mind, let's shine the spotlight on some players available in the late rounds or even off the waiver wire who could surprise in 2026.

Over the next week, I'll revisit my favorite sleeper candidates at every key fantasy position. Today, we're taking a look at running backs.
Expectations for seventh-round picks are normally very low, with their main goal being just to make the team. By that measure, Croskey-Merritt had a strong rookie season last year, though it felt like he didn't capitalize enough on his opportunities.
Brian Robinson Jr. being traded before Week 1 and Austin Ekeler suffering a season-ending injury left a three-man committee with JCM, Chris Rodriguez Jr. and Jeremy McNichols — which limited everyone's fantasy ceiling.

Most NFL head coaches spend August talking down workloads and hyping committee backfields. The training camp stories are about guys who put on 10 pounds of muscle or are in the best shape of their lives. The coachspeak is always there, and fantasy football managers can't help but roll their eyes with every headline.
However, one first-year NFL coach did the opposite this week. He went live on a national sports talk show and promised to run his best player into the ground, quite literally, and fantasy football managers should be thrilled.
Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley appeared on the Rich Eisen Show and laid out a plan for De'Von Achane that sounds built for fantasy lineups. He said the running back got a warning that morning. "I just gave Achane a heads-up this morning and told him he better be in good shape. Because I told him there might be some games where I might have to pick him up and carry him back into the locker room because he's going to be so tired."
Then Hafley went further, adding that he doesn't want Achane asking for a breather by tapping on his helmet. "And I told him, I don't ever want to see one of these head taps all year. And he looked me right in the eye and said, 'You'll never get that head tap from me.' I said, 'Don't worry, buddy. After you touch the ball 40, 45 times, I might have to pick you up, and I'll carry you back in the locker room.'"
Hafley, who's definitely just having fun in the moment and not talking about a serious strategy, also praised the 24-year-old back as a leader and a smart player. "I love the guy. I mean, you want to talk about a guy with some juice and a guy with personality starting to come out. A guy who's starting to become a leader." He added, "He's one of the smarter players."

No NFL player has had 40 touches in a game since Derrick Henry had 41 in a game in 2021. But Dolphins running back De'Von Achane may need to be ready for that kind of workload.
Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley told Rich Eisen that Achane is going to have some games when he'll be such a workhorse that he'll hardly be able to walk back to the locker room when it's over.
"I just gave Achane a heads-up this morning and I told him you better be in good shape," Hafley said. "I told him there might be some games when I have to pick him up and carry him back to the locker room because he's going to be so tired. I told him I don't ever want to see one of these head taps all year, and he looked me right in the eye and he said, 'You'll never get that head tap from me.' I said, 'Don't worry buddy. After you touch the ball 40-45 times, I might have to pick you up and carry you back into the locker room.' I love the guy. You want to talk about a guy with some juice, a guy whose personality is starting to come out, a guy who's starting to become a leader. I like those guys."
Everyone knows Achane is fast, but Hafley said he's been thrilled with Achane's mental approach.
"He's one of the smarter players when you talk to him," Hafley said. "He's really a smart football player and it's fun to go back and forth with him and he's got this fun energy about him. I think he's a stud."

There's an expanding market of fantasy football content makers these days. The pool has never been larger, or smarter. And with a group this large, it makes for a number of different styles. It's a golden age for the industry.
Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL season
I generally opt for the understated style. I don't promise anyone that consuming my content will make them dominate their league or crush their draft. I humbly offer that I think I can help players improve at their craft, and I'm also accepting that my style isn't for everyone. If my stuff isn't landing for you, it's not a big deal. I have a slew of talented teammates over at Yahoo — you should find someone here that you line up with.
Perhaps this soft-pedal opening was encouraged by the recent Salary Cap Draft at the Fantasy Football Expo. I am in the Jim Brown division this year, and on July 25 I participated in two drafts (one snake, one salary cap) against 13 other skillful industry members. The drafts were fun but competitive, one of the highlights of the year. And although I pride myself on being an experienced and skilled salary cap player, I did not love my results in that draft.
(Coincidentally, I liked my snake draft team a fair amount, but that's a discussion for another day.)

LAS VEGAS – Diego Ferreira doesn't see the end of the road, at least not yet.
The UFC lightweight veteran competes in his 27th professional fight this Saturday against Billy Quarantillo in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 284 (Paramount+), which takes place at the Meta APEX. Ferreira (20-7 MMA, 11-7 UFC) has been competing for 15 years, turned 41 earlier this year, and is on a two-fight losing streak, with his most recent bout being a TKO stoppage loss. Yet, despite having the signs many consider to signal the end of a fighting career, Ferreira's fighting spirit still remains strong.
"I want to enjoy it," Ferreira told MMA Junkie and other media at Wednesday's UFC Fight Night 284 media day. "I'm not looking to retire yet. A lot of people have been asking me that question, but right now I want to live the moment. I enjoy it here. I like to be a fighter. I like to be a professional fighter. It's something I took that far, and I never thought about having that kind of lifestyle. I want to enjoy it now, and I want to do things for me and have a purpose in my life. I want to do things for me, and I want to do this as long as I can."
Ferreira enters as a favorite against Quarantillo (20-8 MMA, 6-5 UFC), who's also on a two-fight losing streak. Although Ferreira is looking to use his experience in this bout, he's also not going to shy away from getting into a firefight – which has been part of his fighting identity in the UFC.
"It's be smarter, for sure I will, but you cannot change a warrior; you can't change a man who's been making his history like that long," Ferreira said. "I think the pressure is still going to be there. Going forward is the goal. Put the war like how I did with Anthony Pettis; it is the same goal. But yeah, be more seasoned, more patient, but I'm always looking for the finish. I'm always looking to bite my mouthpiece and move forward. I want to look for the finish in this one."

Jadeveon Clowney says he's back in Houston for one reason: To win a championship with his original team.
Clowney said after officially signing his contract with the Texans that he had better financial offers from other teams, but he wants to win a ***** le with the team that selected him with the first overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft.
"Trying to chase that Super Bowl with the Texans," Clowney said. "It wasn't about money because I could have went other places for a little bit more money than this. But I'm like, it's Year 13, I started here, go back here, try to win, and see how the rest of my career goes."
Clowney said he's a very different person now at age 33 than he was when he arrived as a 21-year-old rookie, and he hopes to impart some wisdom on the younger players.
"I was a big kid when I first got here," Clowney said. "I grew up different than a lot of these guys. When I was born my dad was in jail, single-parent home, I grew up a lot different. I got here, never seen Houston, I enjoyed my time, it was fun, I came up with a great group of guys. Coming back now, I'm a veteran, a lot older, a lot smarter than I was before."

HOUSTON (AP) — Jadeveon Clowney never imagined he'd play for the Texans again when he was traded to Seattle amid a contract dispute before the 2019 season.
But after seven years and six teams the defensive end is back where his career began after re-signing Sunday with the team that picked him first overall in 2014.
Clowney has changed a lot since he arrived in Houston as a 21-year-old.
"I'm grown," he said after his first workout with the Texans Tuesday. "I was a big kid at first when I first got here. I grew up different than a lot of these guys. When I was born, my dad was in jail. I grew up in a single-parent home. I grew up a lot different. ... but coming back now, I'm a veteran in the locker room, a lot older, a lot smarter than I was before."
He joins a defense that ranked among the best in the league in almost every category last season. Houston has stars Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter as its starting defensive ends but could use Clowney as a situational pass rusher after he had 8½ sacks for the Cowboys last season.

Quantum computing appears to be following a similar path. The technology is still in its early stages, and a few companies are already racing to bring it into commercial reality, each pursuing different architectures and strategies. Unlike traditional computers, which process information as ones and zeros, quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits, that can represent multiple states simultaneously. That allows them to tackle certain highly complex calculations much faster than conventional computers.
The commercial potential is hard to ignore, with Grand View Research projecting the quantum computing market will expand from about $1.9 billion in 2026 to more than $8 billion by 2033.

Grail's Galleri blood test aims to detect signals from dozens of cancers before any symptoms appear. That seems like a game changer for the oncology market, but its stock plunged in February after its largest NHS England trial failed to meet its primary endpoint. That trial was considered a crucial stepping stone toward an FDA approval in the U.S. -- which would clear the way for private insurance and Medicare plans to cover its tests.
However, Grail already sells Galleri on a cash-only basis (for $749 to $949) to independent customers, select employers, hospital pilots, and telehealth programs. Its NHS England trial also wasn't a complete failure: Galleri's users in the trial still had fewer Stage IV cancers detected, and it achieved earlier (Stage I and II) detection of the deadliest cancers.
Even without a near-term FDA approval, ******* ysts expect Grail's revenue to grow from $147 million in 2025 to $281 million in 2028. It won't generate a profit anytime soon, and its stock isn't cheap at 17 times this year's sales, but an FDA approval could help it crush those estimates. Therefore, I think it's smarter to buy and hold Grail at under $70 than to hastily sell it.

Most people ***** ume that the world's most successful investors have some edge that regular people can't access. Better information. Smarter models. A network of insiders who call before the news breaks. Warren Buffett spent 60 years proving that ***** umption wrong, building one of the greatest fortunes in history through patience and simplicity rather than complexity.
And yet when people ask him what they should do with their money, his answer has been the same for decades. It's not a stock tip. It's not a sector call. It's an ETF that anyone can buy for three cents on every hundred dollars invested.
Buffett has made his position clear in shareholder letters, interviews, and annual meetings going back years. In his 2016 shareholder letter, he wrote: "My regular recommendation has been a low-cost S&P 500index fund." At Berkshire's 2021 annual meeting, he said: "In my view, for most people, I think that the best thing to do is buy an S&P 500 index fund."
The most direct version of the advice came in his 2013 letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, where he described the instructions he had written into his will for the money he would leave to his wife: "My advice to the trustee could not be more simple: Put 10% of the cash in short-term government bonds and 90% in a very low-cost S&P 500 index fund. (I suggest Vanguard's.) I believe the trust's long-term results from this policy will be superior to those attained by most investors, whether pension funds, institutions or individuals, who employ high-fee managers," according to The Motley Fool.

When the Federal Reserve changes interest rates, the impact reaches far beyond Wall Street. Higher rates can help savers earn more on their cash, while lower rates can make mortgages, car loans, and credit cards more affordable. But because every rate move creates both winners and losers, there's no simple answer to whether high or low rates are best.
Understanding why the Fed raises and lowers rates — and how those decisions affect your money — can help you make smarter choices about saving and borrowing.
The Federal Reserve is mandated by Congress to promote stable prices and maximum employment within the U.S. economy. One of the tools it has at its disposal to achieve these goals is the federal funds rate.
During times of high inflation, for instance, the Fed will raise its federal funds rate, which is the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans to meet cash reserve requirements.

Memory and storage giant Micron Technology (MU) has been one of the standout beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, delivering massive triple-digit gains so far in 2026. Now, the red-hot chip stock is back in focus after the company announced a series of strategic customer agreements aimed at expanding its presence in the rapidly evolving automotive technology market. On Thursday, Micron revealed strategic customer agreements (SCAs) with several major automotive and technology players, including Qualcomm (QCOM), Visteon (VC), Harman, JOYNEXT, Denso, Astemo, and Hyundai Mobis.
The partnerships come as increasingly connected and intelligent vehicles require more advanced memory and storage solutions to power everything from sophisticated infotainment systems to AI-enabled features. Micron Chairman, President, and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra emphasized that memory and storage will play an increasingly important role as vehicles become smarter and more technologically advanced.

Everyone thought France would crush Spain. They were counting on Kylian Mbappe and that flashy attack to blow the doors off. Wrong. The reality on the pitch was a total shocker. Spain didn’t just match them; they outsmarted them completely. France’s big threats? Totally neutralized by a smarter, hungrier Spanish squad.
Spain showed the world something huge today. Luis de la Fuente called his squad the best team on the planet. His words carried weight after that dominant 2-0 victory. Think about that for a second. This win proves a collective unit can beat a group of individual stars. It’s not about who you have. It’s about how they play together.
The French lineup looked toothless despite the global superstars on the roster. They threw Rayan Cherki into the mix, but it made zero difference. Spain controlled the game from the first whistle to the last. Their strategy worked perfectly against a team full of famous names. And here’s the kicker: They didn’t even break a sweat doing it.
France hoped their stars would do the damage if Mbappe didn’t score. They looked to Ousmane Dembele, Michael Olise, and Bradley Barcola for goals. Desire Doue also played, but the French attack failed completely. Not great. They couldn’t find any way to break through the Spanish defense. It was a wall, plain and simple.
Patrick Vieira, a former World Cup winner for France, admitted the truth. He told ITV that Spain dominated the game in every single aspect. Spain circulated the ball with their usual composure throughout the match. They moved France around and opened gaps to exploit them easily. Classic misdirection. Vieira knows a thing or two about winning big.

A survey of DevSecOps professionals highlighted this shift, with 85% agreeing that AI has shifted the bottleneck from code creation to code review and validation. This shift is creating demand for smarter solutions like International Business Machines Corporation's (IBM) IBM Bob.
