It's not Thanksgiving and it's not the Apple Cup of old. The Dawgs and Cougs will kick off the '26 season by renewing their rivalry at Husky Stadium. WSU is part of the new-look Pac-12 with a new-look roster and a new-looking coaching staff. Kirby Moore arrives for his first head coaching job after serving as an Offensive Coordinator at Missouri and Fresno St. They welcome QB Caden Pinnick from Cal-Davis. The combination of Moore and Pinnick give WSU a good foundation for the offense. However, they did lose a lot of players in the transfer portal, particularly to Iowa St, where former coach Jimmy Rogers took over. It has only been three years since UW went to the Big 10, but the talent on each roster shows how much the talent has diverged in that time.
The game will kick off at 1:00 PM PT from Husky Stadium. It will air on NBC with Paul Burmeister, Yogi Roth, and Zora Stephenson on the call. It will stream via the NBC Sports app. It will also be the debut of new UW Football PBP voice Elise Woodward. Cam Cleeland will join her in the booth on KJR 93.3.
This is your thread to discuss all things UW and Apple Cup. Go Dawgs!

Airbnb has appointed Pepijn Rijvers, formerly an executive at Tripadvisor Group, as the company's new chief business officer, according to a Tuesday news release.
In his new role, Rijvers is tasked with leading the homes, hotels, global markets and enterprise operations divisions as Airbnb focuses on scaling its hotel strategy.
Rijvers succeeds Dave Stephenson, who joined the short-term rental platform eight years ago and "built the function that established Hotels as a business" within Airbnb, co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky said in a companywide email shared Sept. 1.
Prior to his role as chief business officer at Tripadvisor, Rijvers spent 13 years at Booking.com in various senior leadership roles, which "gave him a clear view of why Airbnb needs to follow a very different path," according to Chesky.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic is widely considered one of the NBA's best players. After winning the scoring ******* le in the 2025-26 season, Doncic firmly established himself as one of the best scorers. But where does he rank as a playmaker in all-time conversations?
The NBA has seen its fair share of great point guards. As one of the most vital positions on the floor, the NBA's list of great point guards features an extensive collection of the league's most creative and intelligent players, with some even redefining the rules of the game.
During a recent appearance on "3's and Ones," former NBA player Lance Stephenson was asked to share his list of the top five point guards in NBA history. While some of Stephenson's answers seem justified, one in particular stood out, as he shared:
"Isiah Thomas. This is not in order. Magic Johnson. Jason Kidd. Stephen Curry. That's four? I got Luka."
For the most part, the first four names mentioned on his list were players that the panel agreed with, and given their accomplishments, the selections seem justified. Still, the mention of Luka Doncic in Stephenson's top five turned some heads, with former NBA player Michael Beasley even referring to it as a "hot take."

CHICAGO — Rookie Sal Stewart homered for the third straight game to help offset two more home runs by Pete Crow-Armstrong, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 7-5 on Sunday night after rain delayed the start 25 minutes.
Dane Myers hit a go-ahead homer off Shoto Imanaga (8-10) leading off the fifth inning and Tyler Stephenson followed with a two-run shot after a single by Elly De La Cruz for a 6-3 lead. De La Cruz left after that with left quad tightness.
Stewart homered for the 31st time — off Trent Thornton — for the Reds' final run in the seventh.
Crow-Armstrong homered leading off the first against Chase Burns (15-3) to give the Cubs the lead. It his fourth in seven at-bats after hitting three Saturday in a 17-5 victory over the Reds. The NL's MVP front-runner hit his 38th homer — a solo shot off Reds closer Emilio Pagán in the ninth before the right-hander finished off his 19th save.
Burns allowed three runs — two earned — on six hits in 5 2/3 innings as Cincinnati beat the Cubs in the rubber game of the series after losing six of seven matchups previously.

CHICAGO (AP) — Tyler Stephenson hit a three-run homer to highlight a five-run sixth inning, Jose Trevino, TJ Friedl and Sal Stewart also went deep and the Cincinnati Reds scored nine unanswered runs in a 10-8 win over the Chicago Cubs on Friday.
Down 3-0 after three innings, the Reds cut their deficit to 3-2 in the fifth before moving ahead in the sixth when Trevino tied it with a solo homer, Stewarr added an RBI single and Stephenson launched a 399-foot homer to center to make it 7-3.
Usually reliable Cubs reliever Trent Thornton (5-5) took the loss, giving up five runs on four hits and a walk while getting just two outs.
Stewart had his 29th homer to go with a single, a walk, two RBIs and two runs scored. Five Cincinnatti players had a multi-hit game, including shortstop Elly De La Cruz, who had three hits, two RBIs and scored a run.
The loss extended a tough stretch for the Cubs' bullpen, which blew two saves on the team's recent West Coast trip.

Less than a day after the passing of legendary country music icon and entrepreneur Dolly Parton, another beloved celebrity has shuffled off this mortal coil. Tim Curry has passed away at the age of 80. The actor succumbed to health effects from a 2012 stroke on August 25, 2026.
Tim Curry was the child of a British Navy veteran and spent his youth in various foreign countries until settling in the seaside town of Plymouth when he was 11. He was interested in acting from a young age and turned that interest into serious study at the University of Birmingham. When he graduated in 1968, he was almost immediately cast in the London production of the hit play Hair.
It was there that history would be made when Tim Curry met Richard O'Brien, the writer of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The iconic role of Dr. Frank N. Furter was written specifically for Curry and elevated him to fame when it was adapted to film and became a cult classic. It was his flamboyant, Bowie-esque performance that made him a household name, even as his career in British television was also bringing him success.
He continued to act on stage throughout his career, but the 1980s saw him move to Hollywood as more film roles became available to him. He played the villain, aptly named Darkness, in Legend, and submarine medical officer Dr. Yevgeniy Petrov in The Hunt for Red October. But it was his comedy roles as the butler Wadsworth in Clue and as the harried hotel concierge Mr. Hector in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York that brought him back into the spotlight after his Rocky Horror fame.
Curry did play dramatic roles, such as the conniving Cardinal Richelieu in The Three Musketeers and fortune-hunter Herkermer ******* lka in Congo, but on film, it was his zany antics that earned him recognition. His 1996 appearance as Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island, a movie that built its success from the novelty of having made A Muppet Christmas Carol with Michael Caine, cemented Curry's status as a star. Like the ******* ens adaptation, the Muppet version of the Robert Lewis Stephenson classic became one of the most definitive film versions of the book.

The unveiling of a blue plaque at the former Surrey home of Paddington Bear creator Michael Bond was a "lovely" occasion with an unexpected surprise, the organiser has said.
Bond, who died in 2017 at the age of 91, moved to Fairacre in Haslemere in 1968, where he spent the next 10 years writing several Paddington books alongside the scripts for the original television series.
The unveiling on Saturday took place with the permission of current owners, Steph and Neil Stephenson, and was attended by Bond's daughter, Karen Jankel, who presented them with a special gift.
"It was the [Paddington] Bear that was Karen's as a child," Haslemere Society chairman Chris Harrison said.
Harrison said about 25 guests were invited but "the same [number] again" turned up to see the unveiling.

CALGARY, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Canadian pipeline firms are proposing billions of dollars in new projects despite oil sands companies being reluctant to commit to significant production expansions amid ongoing uncertainty around climate policies and long-term global demand.
At least six different pipeline projects are underway or proposed in Canada, to move oil to the United States or to export markets on the Pacific coast. If all are built, the country's export pipeline capacity would increase by 45%, or 2.25 million barrels per day, by 2035, according to a Reuters calculation.
But filling all those pipes would require Canadian oil supply to increase by more than a third by 2034, a near-doubling of its current annual average growth rate. It would also require Canadian producers to move ahead with major new oil sands projects of the type that no company has undertaken in more than a decade.
The mismatch between proposed export pipeline expansions and the pace of output growth highlights how Canada may struggle to achieve Prime Minister Mark Carney's "energy superpower" ambitions, despite a more supportive regulatory environment and growing interest in Canadian oil from international buyers.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Elly De La Cruz delivered his first career walk-off hit in the 10th inning after Dane Myers hit a tying pinch-hit homer in the ninth, and the Cincinnati Reds rallied past the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5 on Monday night to split a doubleheader.
Down to their final out in the ninth, the Reds went to the bench for Myers, who had homered in the opener. Myers delivered again, driving his fifth home run of the season into the left-center seats to tie the game at 5.
De La Cruz won the game an inning later, grounding a single into left field that was deflected off third baseman Blaze Jordan's glove, allowing automatic runner Tyler Stephenson to score.
Emilio Pagán (5-1) pitched a hitless 10th inning while starter Rhett Lowder matched a career high with 6 2/3 innings pitched. He allowed four runs on eight hits while striking out five, helping the Reds snap a three-game skid.
St. Louis, which won the opener 2-1, led 4-1 before Cincinnati rallied in the sixth.

It wasn't a good day at Great American Ball Park, but the Cincinnati Reds at least salvaged the night.
After losing the matinee in their Aug. 17 day-night doubleheader, the Reds walked off the St. Louis Cardinals with a 6-5 win in 10 innings at Great American Ball Park.
The Reds trailed 4-1 in the sixth inning and 5-4 in the ninth inning. They knotted the game in both frames with outfielder Dane Myers hitting a pinch-hit homer in the ninth to tie the game at five and force extra innings.
Reds closer Emilio Pagán worked through traffic in the 10th inning to set Cincinnati up for the possibility of a walk-off win, and Elly De La Cruz delivered with a hot shot into left field that scored Tyler Stephenson from first base.
The walk-off hit was the first of De La Cruz's career.

Detroit — Red Hawaiian shirts took over Comerica Park on Sunday with over 900 people traveling across the world for the 17th annual "Magnum P.I." Day.
Known as the "Magnums," the group partnered with the Brain Injury **** ociation of Michigan in 2025, and a portion of Tigers game tickets bought through their group link are donated to help the **** ociation.
"I get emotional talking about it," said Aaron Klassen, the primary organizer for the event. "Who knew what started as just a bunch of hooligans having fun would turn into something of this caliber to be able to make such an incredible impact and give back to the community."
Founded by Shana Smail, Shaun Smail and Kevin Stephenson in 2009, the first event was minuscule compared to now, with only about 12 people in attendance and any color Hawaiian shirt worn. The group is inspired by the 1980s show "Magnum P.I.," and fans are dressed like Detroit native Tom Selleck, who stars in the show as Thomas Magnum.
Nowadays, they have thousands of members in a Facebook group and had fans, workers, and even PAWS, the Tigers' mascot, dressed in the signature Magnum look: an Aloha "Jungle Bird" shirt, sunglasses, real or fake mustaches, and a Tigers hat to top off the outfit.

Uh-oh.
Don't look now, but the latest, greatest power sideshow in baseball is coming to Cincinnati this week after the most jaw-dropping debut in MLB history.
"Hopefully he got it out (of his system)," Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson said. "Hopefully he can cool off these next four days that we get him."
"He," of course, is Joshua Báez, the St. Louis Cardinals' top prospect, who on Saturday (Aug.15) at Wrigley Field delivered a debut for the ages – that age being 23.

After that brutal road trip, these last two wins have been a massive boost for the Nats. Now they will look for only their second sweep of the season this afternoon against the Reds. The only other sweep was against another NL Central team in the Brewers, so maybe that is a good luck charm.
The Nats actually have the same 9 players in the lineup today. However, the order is mixed up a bit. Jose Tena will be up in the 3 spot, while Dylan Crews moves down to the 5 hole. Keibert Ruiz will also move down in the order. The Nats have a bullpen game today which will be started by Brad Lord, but all hands are on deck.
The Reds are making a couple changes with a righty opener on the mound. Hector Rodriguez will return to the lineup. Tyler Stephenson will also be the catcher in this one. Left handed JJ Bleday will move up in the lineup while righties like Eugenio Suarez and Dane Myers will move down. The veteran sinkerballer Brady Singer is on the **** p.

Tyler Stephenson got the warm welcome back from fans when the Cincinnati Reds season resumed play after the MLB trade deadline this week.
But JJ Bleday's presence when the Reds faced the Athletics this week might have been even more important for whatever comes next competitively for this team.
"He's a guy who was a very popular ask on the trade market," team president Nick Krall said after the Reds' do-little Aug. 3 deadline day (Nathaniel Lowe to Cleveland, Caleb Ferguson to St. Louis in low-level deals).

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Reds fans and fans across the country.
The Cincinnati Reds sat idle for almost the entire run-up to the August 3rd trade deadline. As the final hour neared, though, they managed to make a few moves at the periphery of their roster to keep the day from being a total shutout.
To Cleveland went 1B/DH Nathaniel Lowe, with 19 year old pitcher Alejandro Rivera coming back to Cincinnati as the return. Rivera is still incredibly far off in terms of a big league opportunity, but he boasts a wealth of talent – not bad considering Lowe came into camp on a minor league deal to begin the year.
Shortly afterwards, the Reds announced they'd picked up $250,000 of international bonus pool money from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for veteran lefty reliever Caleb Ferguson.
Eugenio Suarez did not get moved, nor did starter Brady Singer. The Reds held on to those pending free agents as well as the likes of Pierce Johnson and Brock Burke, too. They even held on to catcher Tyler Stephenson despite the mid-season trade market for catchers being as active as I can remember.

Eugenio Suarez did not get moved, nor did starter Brady Singer. The Reds held on to those pending free agents as well as the likes of Pierce Johnson and Brock Burke, too. They even held on to catcher Tyler Stephenson despite the mid-season trade market for catchers being as active as I can remember.

The mood in the home clubhouse was upbeat a day after a trade deadline in which few teams showed interest in the bevy of available Cincinnati Reds players.
There seemed to be a resolve among a group of guys who generally like each other, an attitude of embracing the underdog role to try to make a run down the stretch. Some players seemed open to the suggestion that they could use the fact no serious playoff contenders wanted them as a motivating factor.
"A lot of guys love playing here and have been wanting to stay," Reds outfielder JJ Bleday said. "Whether teams were interested or not, we've still got to show up at 7 o'clock ready to go."
More: How Reds' Tyler Stephenson passed time during stressful trade deadline
Manager Terry Francona told reporters: "I don't care what makes them play better. But I don't know why they'd have a chip on their shoulder, because they know they're wanted. I think they're happy to be here. … That's the last thing you want is somebody to stay here and say, 'I wanted to go somewhere else.' "

Just when you think it can't get any worse…A comically pathetic 8th inning turns a possible actual win into just another disheveled loss and the "free fall" stats keep mounting.
It's hard to believe that on June 19th the A's were 38-38, winning percentage that would earn them a spot 1.5 games out of 1st place had they maintained it through this evening. In hindsight, it was probably a relatively poor strategy to go 7-30 thereafter, 5-26 in their most recent 31.
Before continuing, we need to take a moment to appreciate just how "Bad News Bears" the bottom of the 8th inning was. Tasked with holding a 4-3 lead, Hogan Harris began the inning with the obligatory lead off walk. To his credit he was efficient and needed only 4 pitches, cleverly conserving himself so he could offer his greatness to many ensuing batters.
Then he walked the second hitter because walking the first 2 you face has become a reliever's mantra. No fewer than 3 different relievers did that in the same game not too long ago — I would tell you the exact date but the games all blend together now.
In the only normal at bat, JJ Bleday struck out. What followed was somewhat remarkable in that it took blunders from 3 different players to occur. Tyler Stephenson flied to RF deep enough for Elly De La Cruz to tag and go to 3B. Butler's throw was one hop to the cut off man, Jacob Wilson, but Wilson let the ball go through. It went through to 3Bman Tommy White, who fielded the throw by not catching it and the ball rolled to Hogan Harris backing up. Harris looked at the ball, counted the stitches, and thought about his grocery list, but did not call time. So Sal Stewart, who had been anchored to the bag at 1B the entire time, jogged to 2B.

The deadline for Major League Baseball teams to make trades during the 2026 season is today – Monday, August 3rd – at 6:00 PM ET, and the Cincinnati Reds presumably have a lot of business to take care of between now and then.
The currently sit at 53-58, mired in last place in the National League Central some 16 games adrift of the Milwaukee Brewers. Despite their recent best efforts, they also sit 5.5 games out of the final NL Wild Card spot, with six teams they'd need to jump to earn their way into a playoff spot.
With seven guys who are set to reach free agency at season's end, all signs point to the Reds being active sellers in the next few hours. Guys like Brady Singer, Tyler Stephenson, Eugenio Suarez, Caleb Ferguson, Brock Burke, Pierce Johnson, and Nate Lowe are all expected to be shopped aggressively, and there's the off-chance that Nick Krall and Co. opt to cash-in on players with more team control (i.e. Hunter Greene or JJ Bleday) in order to help restock the farm.
We'll be following all the developments here at Red Reporter HQ, and here will be the clearinghouse where you can follow with us.
Maybe, just maybe, the front office will find a way to unload Ke'Bryan Hayes!

The Cincinnati Reds, perhaps to be expected, have waited until the final 24 hours before the Aug. 3 MLB trade deadline to deal veteran players from their last-place roster.
With seven pending free agents and a at least two other players under club control drawing interest into the final day before the 6 p.m. deadline, a flurry of deals are all but certain.
Here is the Reds' trade-chip report heading into the final hours (*-pending free agent):
On the move? Emotional Tyler Stephenson braces for trade after long-ball farewell

Andoni Iraola has only been in charge of Liverpool for a month or so but there are a lot of changes that still need to be made.
Of course, ****** ody expected the Spaniard to solve every issue within his first month in charge but, fans will have probably expected more change to have occurred at Anfield.
A couple of new faces have been brought in and, surprisingly, only one player has been sold.
Indeed, three others were allowed to move on as free agents but, the fact that only Luca Stephenson has been sold for profit is rather shocking.
Most people expected there to be a massive overhaul at Liverpool this term but instead, talks have been stalled or prolonged with little to no moves being confirmed.

For the Pirates, Friday night's game at Great American Ballpark was a nightmare.
Starter Paul Skenes struggled, the bullpen blew its 20th save, a costly miscue in the eighth gave the Reds the lead, and Ryan O'Hearn had to be carried off the field in the ninth inning of an 8-7 loss to the Reds. Their losing streak is now at four games.
Top 1st, 2-0 PIT: The Pirates (55-56) took advantage of a couple defensive miscues and scored a pair of runs on a Nick Gonzales two-out single up the middle off Hunter Greene with the bases loaded.
Bottom 1st, 2-2: Paul Skenes labored through a 36-pitch inning and the Reds (52-57) quickly struck back to tie the game. Tyler Stephenson ripped an RBI double down the left field line and Nathaniel Lowe plated a run with a base hit to right.

The last place Cincinnati Reds are limping towards the August 3rd trade deadline at just 51-57, still buried in the busy National League Wild Card standings 5.5 games back of the final spot. That comes with the caveat that there are six NL clubs they'd have to jump to earn their way into that spot – the Philadelphia Phillies, San Diego Padres, Miami Marlins, Pittsburgh Pirates, Washington Nationals, and St. Louis Cardinals.
At quick glance, at least three of those clubs are likely going to be buyers at the deadline. So, the Reds are between a rock and a hard place, and anything other than a miracle win streak this weekend will likely send them into at least some mode of selling.
Per Bob Nightengale of the USA Today, that won't include moving Hunter Greene. Cincinnati's ace had seen his name pop up in trade rumors pretty much ever since Chase Burns signed his $105 million extension as the rest of the baseball world began to wonder how the typically frugal Reds would accommodate both on the payroll long-term.
That said, they've long been rumored to be shopping their litany of players who are destined to reach free agency at season's end, and that includes catcher Tyler Stephenson. He's been red-hot of late, too, slashing .339/.400/.523 dating back to June 4th, and that's caught the eye of the catching-needy New York Yankees, according to MLB insider Jon Heyman.
Yankees are among many teams to check on 3-time All-Star/switch-hitting catcher Adley Rutschman. NYY is casting a wide net for catching need. Ryan Jeffers, pending free agent, seemed logical but Twins suggest they’re a buyer now. Tyler Stephenson, others are on NYY list

MLB Trade Rumors | Charlie Wright: The Yankees rearranged their planned starters for this weekend's series in Philadelphia. Cam Schlittler was **** ped up to start Friday on normal rest, with Will Warren pushed back to Sunday. Warren appeared in relief Wednesday to help provide some coverage during a doubleheader. With Max Fried back in the rotation and Carlos Rodón on the comeback trail, Warren's recent usage suggests his spot in the rotation could be in jeopardy.
MLB.com | Thomas Harrigan: The Yankees have gotten virtually no offensive production from the catcher position this season. With the trade deadline looming, expect them to pursue an upgrade. The most likely candidate is Minnesota's Ryan Jeffers, a righty bat who's a free agent after the season. The Athletics' Shea Langeliers and Colorado's Hunter Goodman are higher-upside plays with more years of club control, but there's no guarantee either will be moved. The Mets' Francisco Alvarez and Baltimore's Adley Rutschman loom as longshots, with Cincinnati's Tyler Stephenson and Minnesota's Victor Caratini less exciting backup plans should the rest fall through.
NJ.com | James Mertz: Paul Blackburn has broken out with the Yankees this year after moving to the bullpen full-time, posting a 2.00 ERA in 35 outings. He attributes the career renaissance in part with the consistency the Yankees have provided. The veteran contrasts that with his tenure with the Mets, who constantly shuttled him between the rotation and the bullpen. "I felt like we were just playing a video game," he said of his time across town, during which he posted a 6.00 ERA in 12 games.
CBS Sports | Rotowire Staff: Luis Gil faced live batters on Friday for the first time since early May, throwing BP. He's been on the minor-league IL, working back from right shoulder inflammation. The former Rookie of the Year was disastrous in four starts early this year and has no guaranteed role upon his return.

The catcher position has been the Yankees' Achilles heel all season, but they may find their answer in the coming days.
The Yankees have the second-worst OPS (.531) from the catcher position in MLB. The duties have been split between Austin Wells, Ali Sanchez and J.C. Escarra this season, with Wells playing in 70 games and holding a .163 batting average and .524 OPS.
The Yankees are expected to pursue an upgrade at the position ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline, and The Athletic's Will Sammon and Ken Rosenthal have thrown a new name into the mix.
Yankees -1.5 run line on DraftKings for Friday's series opener versus the Phillies. Our complete DraftKings Sportsbook review will show you how to sign up and use their platform.
"The Cincinnati Reds' Tyler Stephenson, one available catcher, might become an alternative for the Yankees, and other teams are pursuing the Minnesota Twins' Ryan Jeffers," Sammon and Rosenthal wrote on Thursday.
