Frank Fitzpatrick bought ~200 shares of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) at $40 in 1976, sold after 14 months when the stock doubled, then bought back in at a higher price.
Fitzpatrick used his Berkshire gains to buy a Lake Tahoe lakefront home, fund an education nonprofit, and leave shares to his two children.
Fitzpatrick's habit of running back to Berkshire despite a painful early exit shows temperament, not timing, drives long-term investing success.

In 1995, a family gathered on the deck of a newly purchased lakefront home in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. According to The Wall Street Journal, they came together "for a group hug and said, 'Thank you, Warren'". The homeowner was Frank Fitzpatrick, a Lake Tahoe tax lawyer known to friends as "Forty-Dollar Frank."

A question has bedeviled a wealthy Lake Tahoe enclave for years: Who is poisoning the towering trees that stand sentry on the North Shore?
Residents of Incline Village, Nev., hope a $147,000 reward will generate some answers.
"It's the most appalling, selfish thing that anyone could do, especially for trees that are irreplaceable," said Chris Nolet, a retired certified public accountant and consultant to the biotechnology industry who ***** embled a small group of private donors known as Friends of Burnt Cedar Beach to put up the bulk of the reward. "These trees are 100 years old."
The donors are offering $122,000 for information leading to the successful prosecution of anyone responsible. The Incline Village General Improvement District, which owns and manages the residents-only beach where the poisonings took place, has put up another $25,000 and installed additional cameras around the trees.
The move came after an investigation failed to generate actionable leads, Nolet said.

College football season may have just begun. But college basketball season is only two months away! On Monday, USC men's basketball announced its nonconference schedule for the 2026-2027 season.
Following three exhibition games, the Trojans will open up the season on November 2 at Galen Center against Milwaukee. They will then travel up to Northern California to face Wichita State in Lake Tahoe, before visiting Cal in an old Pac-12 showdown.
After that, USC will return home for matchups with Arkansas Pine Bluff, Tarleton State, and Louisiana. Eric Musselman's team will then spend Thanksgiving in Palm Springs, California at the Acrisure Series, where they will take on South Carolina and Utah State.
USC's final road games of nonconference play will be at San Diego on December 8 and against Texas Tech in Fort Worth, Texas on December 13. The Trojans will wrap up their nonconference slate with home matchups against Jacksonville and Western Michigan on December 19 and 22, respectively.
After that, USC will get into the heart of Big Ten play. The Trojans' conference schedule will be announced at a later date.

The North American automotive industry is facing a dramatic change in the operational environment this year, which is marked by increased financing barriers and ongoing consumer price sensitivity. Since average auto loan interest rates are still more than 8%, consumers are delaying expensive discretionary upgrades, extending payment terms, and challenging aggressive price hikes. Legacy OEMs have been forced to give up unrestricted EV capital expenditure targets because of the sharp slowdown amid an overall shift to electric vehicles. That said, not every auto manufacturer is performing on the same level, with General Motors Co (NYSE:GM) and Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) serving as a case study on these dynamics.
General Motors Co (NYSE:GM) produced an exceptional second-quarter performance that showed impressive operational discipline in the face of this demanding macroenvironment. Strong pricing power and unit volume across its high-margin full-sized pickup and SUV categories, such as the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Tahoe, drove GM's $48 billion quarterly revenue. Due to this legacy strength, North American operating margins reached 8.6%, which boosted adjusted earnings per share to $3.57 and resulted in a 41% year-over-year increase, significantly above Wall Street estimates.
Importantly, General Motors Co (NYSE:GM) showed that its multibillion-dollar effort to streamline its EV division and properly size battery joint ventures is producing immediate financial results, allowing executive leadership to raise full-year adjusted operating income (EBIT) guidance to between $14 billion and $16 billion.
Meanwhile, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) had a much more divided operating narrative. Despite exceeding consensus estimates with adjusted earnings per share of $0.42 and matching GM on top-line revenue at $48 billion, underlying segment performance revealed ongoing structural friction. Due to enterprise fleet demand and high-margin software subscriptions, Ford Pro, the company's commercial branch, continued to be a high-margin cash engine. However, the company's electric vehicle division, Model e, recorded a sharp $1.26 billion quarterly operational loss, severely undermining these gains.
Based on a comparative valuation ******* ysis, here is a clear disparity between market price and operational execution. General Motors Co (NYSE:GM) carries an EV/EBITDA multiple of 12.01x and a discounted forward price-to-earnings ratio of 5.96x. In comparison, while experiencing significant margin pressure from its Model E division and ******* embly delays, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) trades at a higher forward P/E of 7.88x and an increased EV/EBITDA multiple of 19.76x.

This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke with retired 8-time Pro Bowl defensive back Patrick Peterson.
In his interview with Easton Jr., Peterson, who participated in this year's American Century Championship, held at Edgewood Tahoe and aired on NBC and Peacock, discussed Arizona Cardinals rookie Jeremiyah Love's chances of excelling in his rookie season ahead of the Week 11 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs.
"I like the pick because they have a receiver; there wasn't a quarterback there that they felt they could get them over the hump right now. Jacoby Brissett was a salvageable quarterback due to the absence of Kyler Murray; they had pretty much everything they wanted on the offensive side of the ball," said Peterson. "Still, they felt like they were missing that home run hitter, that other piece, and that was Jeremiyah Love. I love the pick. My only thing would be, how much are they going to put on his plate?"
The Chiefs will host the Cardinals in Week 11 this season and get an opposing look at Love, the third overall draft pick out of Notre Dame. In 2025, Love rushed 199 times for 1,372 yards and 18 touchdowns, averaging 6.9 yards per carry. He also tallied 27 receptions for 280 yards and three receiving touchdowns, earning finalist status for the Heisman Trophy.
"I know Coach Mike LaFleur is coming from the (Los Angeles) Rams, they have a lot of nuances in their offense to get their playmakers involved in the ball game, but you also gotta think about the Arizona Cardinals, were the fifth pick for a reason, they have a lot of holes in that team, offensive linemen, protecting the quarterback and being able to open lanes for him, you have a quarterback issue," said Peterson, "If your quarterback is not good enough to be able to loosen up defenses, how you expect a rookie running back to be explosive, he definitely has a lot of ups and downs, a lot of challenges that he's facing right now, but he is a home run here; he's a great player, and I'm not upset at all with the pick. Now, Arizona is going to have to do a great job of putting the pieces around him so that he can be successful."

STATELINE, Nevada — Mardy Fish is back on top at Edgewood Tahoe, joining a select group of celebrities to win three or more times at Edgewood Tahoe.
Fish, a former tennis pro, scored 20 points on Sunday to give him 72 for the three-day American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament.
He also won in 2020, when no spectators were allowed on the course due to the pandemic, and again in 2024.
Defending champion Joe Pavelski finished second with 66 points and Steph Curry, the 2023 champion, was third with 59. Annika Sorenstam, playing in the same group as Fish and Pavelski, was fourth with 58.
Fish picked up $150,000 for the win.

With a smooth performance down the stretch Sunday, Mardy Fish became a three-time winner of the American Century Championship.
Fish, who also won the celebrity golf tournament in 2020 and '24, closed with
The former tennis star, who was the top-ranked American in 2011 and reached No. 7 in the world, won his third ACC **** le on the same day that Jannik Sinner captured his second consecutive Wimbledon **** le. Fish laughed when asked by NBC Sports' Jimmy Roberts if he ever wondered what might have been if he'd dedicated his life to golf instead of tennis.
"No, I think I played the right sport, but I am obsessed with this game," said Fish, a former U.S. Davis Cup captain and 2004 Olympic silver medalist who won six ATP tournaments and made the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, U.S. Open and Wimbledon. "I do love playing. This is the best week of the year. It's the best email of the year when you get the invite."
Unlike his past two victories in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada, Fish had the tournament essentially wrapped up heading to the final hole at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course. Joe Pavelski, who was trying to win his second consecutive American Century Championship, needed an eagle and put a shot in the water going for broke.

Would George Kittle be ready for training camp? Probably not. But as far as his readiness for Week 1 goes, Kyle Juszczyk is pretty hopeful.
The San Francisco 49ers fullback met with Matt Maiocco at the American Century Championship golf tournament in South Lake Tahoe to discuss the rookies and Juszczyk's appearance at Kittle's Tight End University. Juszczyk was optimistic then, and he remains optimistic now in his response to Maiocco:
"I really did feel that way. I was so impressed by the way he was moving, and I was impressed the last week of OTAs, how he was moving. He was doing this zigzag drill, and he told me he had reached like 16 miles an hour that day. I was already impressed with that. But then, seeing him go through that warm-up, I was like, 'Wow, I really do think there is a chance that he's ready for Week 1.'"
Kittle already provided a rehab update a couple of weeks ago, saying he was ahead of schedule. The thing is, the ahead-of-schedule target was set for mid-November. Not Week 1 of the 2026 NFL Season, which is in early September. It would certainly help Kittle reclaim his No. 1 spot in annual tight end rankings if he had a whole season to tear up the field.
The 49ers face the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia, in an international Week 1 game. If there ever was a Week 1 where they need their star tight end, this is the game.

Matt Boldy is putting his Olympic gold medal to good use at the American Century Championship this week.
The 25-year-old Minnesota Wild star is enjoying an impressive showing in Lake Tahoe through two rounds, including showing off a stellar drive and impressive putting chops, but possibly the most creative thing Boldy has done this weekend is use his gold medal from the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympic Games as a ball marker.
The fans loved it, and the broadcast team loved it too.
"Well, Jimmy, if you had a gold medal, you'd probably use it as a ball marker as well."
Boldy is currently T-13 through 36 holes with 27 points under the modified Stableford format that the ACC uses. He carded an eagle on Edgewood Tahoe South's par-5 18th on Friday and has scored four birdies total.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence finished strong in the second round of the American Century Championship, a celebrity golf tournament at the Edgewood Tahoe South Golf Course in Stateline, Nev., on July 11.
Lawrence overcame five double bogeys among his first 12 holes and parred his last five to record minus-2 points under a Stableford format. He has shot a net zero for the first two rounds.
Lawrence shot 87 gross. Under the format, players don't take anything worse than a double bogey.
Lawrence was tied for 43rd in the 90-player field, ironically enough, with Tennessee ******* ans coach Robert Saleh, who shot 84, with a plus-4 points.
Lawrence also easily beat playing partner Baker Mayfield, the starting quarterback for the Tampa Bay Bucs, for the second day in a row when playing in the same group. Mayfield shot 93 for minus-8 points, after a first-round 96, for minus-17 points. He has a total of minus-25 and is tied for 79th.

This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke with Pro Football Hall of Famer Dwight Freeney.
In his interview with Easton Jr., Freeney, who is participating in this weekend's American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe, currently airing on NBC and Peacock, shared his excitement for the tournament, his partnership with Performance Golf, and his mindset while collecting sacks during his playing career.
"I got hooked up with Performance Golf, and they have some great things going on from their standpoint. The app is called PG1, which uses A.I. to scan your swing and tell you exactly what your root flaw is," said Freeney. "So, going into this event, it's kind of like having them behind you, helping with that technology. A.I. is taking over now; I can put my phone behind me. It can ***** yze my swing, and tell me, without a coach, the A.I. is my coach, tells me, okay, this is what you're doing wrong, and then sends me a video on how to fix that problem, it's been a good journey, I think it's going to do good for me, and hopefully I can apply it the right way, you know, during the American Century Championship."
During his career against the Kansas City Chiefs, Freeney recorded 4 sacks and 17 combined tackles in multiple regular-season matchups. He recorded 125.5 career sacks over 16 years and said his favorite sack was the one that affected the immediate outcome of a close game.
"For me, it's the sacks that matter now; they all matter, but whenever you can close a game with a sack that is, I mean, there is no better feeling," said Freeney. "It's very comparable to basketball. You have the ball in your hands, the clock is running down three to one, you freaking let it go, and you win it for your team, kind of how you see all the time in the bracket NCAA basketball championship games; that's the feeling of what it is when you go out there. You get a sack on a quarterback when he's driving; they need to score a touchdown or a field goal. I sack him, I cause the fumble, and we recover the fumble, and we win."

Jerry Rice talks 49ers: Mike Evans addition, De'Zhaun Stribling, 2026 expectations
"Just throw it up," Rice said. "Throw it up because he's got that big frame. He's going to be able to go up and attack the football. So, once you're in the end zone, just throw that thing up, like 'Alley-Oop' (R.C. Owens) back in the day. Just throw it up and let him go get it, and he's capable of doing that."
Andrew Whitworth questions 49ers' confidence in drafting an offensive tackle
"I think, to me, it does scream that maybe they just don't have a lot of confidence in their ability to select the right one," Whitworth told Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area this week at the American Century Championship in South Lake Tahoe.
When you're going to allocate a first-round pick or a second-round pick on an offensive lineman, a lot of people love that theory, but you better be ***** good at picking it," Whitworth said. "Because when you hit on an offensive lineman, it could be unbelievable for your franchise early in the draft, because a great offensive line, a great D-line is the story to successful football teams….You draft an unproductive lineman, you are cooked because now you're getting a second-, third-, fourth-tier lineman who's going to have to play because the money you allocated for this guy is worthless," Whitworth said. "And now, your team is going to struggle because you're not going to get quality reps out of a guy. So, you can both shoot your team forward and really set yourself back when you miss on offensive linemen."
Alex Highsmith to the 49ers? Steelers reporter suggests trade proposal
"Highsmith's absence from mandatory minicamp coupled with Nick Herbig's massive extension have led many, including myself, to believe the Steelers could look for a trade partner sooner than later," Vasquez explained. "The 49ers could desperately use another edge rusher to pair with Nick Bosa, and the Steelers may be one of the few teams with talent at the position to spare."
Why 'There's no logical reason to expect the 49ers' injury plague to extend into a third year'
"The 49ers added bigger bodies at receiver in Mike Evans and De'Zhaun Stribling. The same is true for defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa, who comes in with as clean a health bill as it gets for a pro."

Here's 1 bucket-list item athletes cross off at the American Century Championship that's not golf originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Stateline, NV – It goes without saying that the American Century Championship has become more than a celebrity golf tournament for the Lake Tahoe region. Celebrities and spectators bring friends and family to South Lake Tahoe, California, Stateline, Nevada, and the surrounding areas to enjoy concerts at the Edgewood Tahoe Resort and various festivities outside the Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe Hotel.
The event began today and runs through Sunday, July 12, on NBC, the NBC Sports Network, and Peacock. You can follow the action on the ACC App on the App Store and on Google Play.
For the 2026 American Century Championship, I got the chance to experience one of the main bucket-list items that the celebrity athletes get to cross off during their stay in the Lake Tahoe region every second weekend of July.
I got the chance to ride the MasterCraft XT24, a 24-foot crossover boat built for wakesurfing, wakeboarding, and unforgettable adventures, on Friday. Aaron Rodgers, Miles Teller, Colin Jost, and 2025 American Century Championship winner Joe Pavelski were some of the names who have enjoyed MasterCraft's array of luxury boats on Lake Tahoe.

Jerry Rice knows what it takes to be a winner, and the San Francisco 49ers legend sees this year's team carrying a similar feeling to the ones he helped lead to three Super Bowl ***** les.
"I feel really good. … I think this is the year for the Niners," Rice told NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco at the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe. "I certainly hope so, and it's going to be up to those players to go out there and get it done. It starts real soon, and like a horse in the Kentucky Derby, I always knew when it was time. Those horses, they know when it's time to race. I think [with] the Niners, they probably feel the same way. So, this has to be a big year for them."
Rice, who 10-time All-Pro receiver before making the Pro Football Hall of Fame, pointed to the talent on both sides of the ball as a reason for optimism.
"I'm looking for a fun year,' he said. "I'm looking for the Niners to make a statement. They have a very good team now.
Part of that talent boost arrived in free agency, when San Francisco added veteran wide receiver Mike Evans. Rice, who met Evans before he signed, likes what the six-time Pro Bowler brings to the locker room.

The athletes and celebrities at Edgewood Tahoe this week are usually happy to sign autographs for fans, but sometimes it depends on catching them at the right time.
It also helps if you're a child — in stature and age, that is; not behavior.

Larry Fitzgerald sends a clear message on Pitt QB Mason Heintschel (and an unclear message on Vikings QB Kyler Murray) originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Stateline, NV – At the Caesars Celebrity Pro Am on Thursday at the Edgewood Tahoe Resort, one day before the start of the 2026 American Century Championship (July 10-12 on NBC, NBC Sports Network, and Peacock), I got the chance to ask Larry Fitzgerald about two quarterbacks he knows well.
One is the current QB1 at his alma mater, the University of Pittsburgh, Mason Heintschel. The former 3-star Clay (OR) recruit stepped in for Eli Holstein during his freshman season in 2025 and became the Panthers’ full-time starter by the end of the year.
The other is Kyler Murray, with whom Fitzgerald played during his final two seasons on the Arizona Cardinals and the last two years of his NFL career. Murray is now a member of the Minnesota Vikings, who the Minneapolis native Fitzgerald cheered for growing up. Murray is competing with former national championship-winning Michigan Wolverines QB J.J. McCarthy for the Vikings’ starting job this summer.
On how Mason Heintschel can avoid a sophomore slump and continue on an upward trajectory…

The Miz reveals 1 WWE star who's honing his golf game and staying prepared for an American Century Championship bid originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Stateline, NV – In anticipation of the 2026 American Century Championship this weekend, I got the chance to speak with WWE superstar The Miz at The Caesars Celebrity Pro-Am in Stateline, Nevada, on Wednesday. The Miz will be one of 90 celebrities taking part in NBC's annual celebrity golf tournament at the Edgewood Tahoe Resort from Friday to Sunday (July 10-12). The tournament will air on NBC, the NBC Sports Network, and Peacock.
With The Miz playing in the tournament for the fifth time, I asked him about which WWE superstar could potentially join him in the field one day. I first asked about Trick Williams, who The Miz was teammates with during the "Squad Games" event, competing against the Dude Perfect group, along with Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, and Je'Von Evans. Williams was a receiver for the South Carolina Gamecocks and was a standout athlete during the "Squad Games," like The Miz.
The Awesome One isn't so sure Trick Willie and his Lemon Pepper Steppers could hang on the golf course with the ACC field, though.
"I don't know if he could play golf that well. I don't think he plays golf on the regular, and I feel like to be here, you need to play golf on the regular. You really do. In the ring, he's unstoppable. Unbelievable. I mean, he has literally been one of the superstars that, of the up-and-coming superstars, that you go, 'That guy's gonna be a star. He's got it.' He has it all. For sure. On the golf course, not sure," The Miz said.

This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke with Pro Football Hall of Famer and Chicago Bears legend Brian Urlacher.
In his interview with Easton Jr., Urlacher discusses his participation in this year's American Century Championship, which will take place July 10-12 at Edgewood Tahoe and air on NBC and Peacock. He discussed that Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton deserves more respect as one of the best at his position in the league.
"They're (MLB players) always so much better than we (NFL players) are (at the American Century Championship). I mean, we have Tony Romo, Marshall Faulk, who is really good for us, but they have Derek Lowe and Mark Mulder, who are just as good," said Urlacher. "They have so many good players; it's frustrating Kevin Millar is also good; they're just stacked with talent."
Urlacher is considered one of the greatest linebackers to play the game, earning numerous accolades throughout his career. He praises several of today's stars, including Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton.
"Man, that dude (Nick Bolton) gets it. He's very overlooked, but Fred Warner is great, but Bolton, maybe just because all the players on that team, he doesn't get the (same) respect," said Urlacher, "Chris Jones up front, and George Karlaftis, those guys up front, and they had the secondary guys, they were good. Nick Bolton does not get a lot of national exposure, and he should, because he makes a lot of plays."

I got the chance to speak with former NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick about a number of topics across the college football landscape ahead of NBC’s 2026 American Century Championship. Fitzpatrick will be one of over 85 celebrities participating in the annual charity golf tournament at the Edgewood Tahoe Resort in Stateline, Nevada. Tickets are still available for the event, which takes place this Friday through Sunday (July 10-12).
I asked Fitzpatrick about his chances in the tournament, the Performance Golf PG1 app, and plenty more:
On his pick to win the 2026 American Century Championship…
“The American Century Championship is incredible. I will not be one of the guys taking this thing, but to me, I think Steph Curry goes in as the favorite. He won in 2023, and that's a guy that I'm pulling for. I’m super interested to see if he could do it again. John Smoltz, I would love to see him win. Romo had the chipping yips last year, so he didn't really compete, but I would love to see him get back on track and healthy. Then Annika Sorenstam's another one. She seems to always be in the top five. So, super interested to see if she could come home with the ******* le as well.”

This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke with retired Major League Baseball All-Star and FOX Sports ****** yst John Smoltz.
In his interview with Easton Jr., Smoltz discusses his participation in this year's American Century Championship, which will take place July 10-12 at Edgewood Tahoe and air on NBC and Peacock. He discussed the Atlanta Braves' bounce-back 2026 season after last year's struggles and its potential similarities to the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of the new NFL season.
"You have pride, you want to find a way to climb the ladder (at the American Century Championship) and be in that last or second or last group," said Smoltz, "It just happens to be that I don't start very well, I finish well, but I gotta, I gotta find a way to start better."
Smoltz's former team, the Braves, had their worst start and season in over a decade last year, missing the playoffs. A similar scenario for the Chiefs, who started last season slowly and eventually snapped their division ****** le and playoff appearances streak after many successful seasons. Atlanta has stormed back in 2026 with the best start in baseball, signaling that last year was a fluke as the Chiefs hope to mirror that performance in the NFL.
"The probability of them (Braves) going 0-9 last year and starting again this year was not high—the probability of all those guys getting hurt in a perfect world that went absolutely wrong. You think that by those things alone, you were going to be better. If they stay healthy in the rotation, they're going to be a tough team to beat. Now it's the perfect start," said Smoltz. "Last year was the absolute worst start, so you see the two ends of the spectrum. You would never think you were going to have a 10-game lead this early in the season, but the entire league kind of went the wrong direction, while the Braves went in the right direction. We're on the flip side, the central, everyone's got a winning record, so you don't know how baseball is going to shake out, and right now, you couldn't ask for a better start."

This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke with Tennessee ***** ans head coach Robert Saleh.
In his interview with Easton Jr., Saleh discusses his participation in this year's American Century Championship, which will take place July 10-12 at Edgewood Tahoe and air on NBC and Peacock. He discussed the decision to hire former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Brian Daboll to his new coaching staff.
"Dab's (Brian Daboll) been there, done that, he's got a history of developing quarterbacks," said Saleh, "In this day and age, where it feels like the entire league has kind of gone to that Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, Kevin O'Connell (style), like those guys who are all outstanding in regards to what they do, Daboll presents something a little bit different."
Daboll served as the Chiefs' coordinator in 2012 and, after four seasons as the head coach of the New York Giants, was fired after 10 games in 2025. Daboll's Giants lost to the Chiefs in Week 3 of last season.
"He's got experience. He's got a tremendous amount of knowledge about his scheme and a tremendous amount of experience in how to coach it, how to coach all the snakes in the grass," said Saleh. "He's got a great rapport with quarterbacks, understands them, and can communicate with them. I just felt with Cam Ward and Daboll, a perfect match with regards to personality, and felt Daboll would be perfect at extracting the most out of them."

This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke with ESPN basketball ****** yst Jay Bilas.
In his interview with Easton Jr., Bilas discusses his participation in this year's American Century Championship, which will take place July 10-12 at Edgewood Tahoe and air on NBC and Peacock. He discussed the potential of a successful rookie class in sports and the highly praised 2026 NBA Draft class.
"I don't know that I'm going to play well ( in the American Century Championship), but I'm going to look good." Said Bilas, "Being in all my Peter Millar stuff, long pants, great players wear long pants, so I'll be in good shape."
The 2026 NFL Draft is in the rear-view with the Kansas City Chiefs addressing several areas of need, especially on defense, with their first four picks. There is always a chance the next Hall of Famer is in this NFL class ahead of the 2026 season. As in the NBA, there are high expectations for this year's young crop, already receiving comparisons to past elite draft classes heading into the league.
"It's not unfair to compare them, as long as we're comparing them as of the draft, you know, sometimes when you look back from 1984 to 2003 you're talking about Hall of Fame players, and we don't know where these guys are going to wind up, so that's sort of the rub there, but as far as depth of talent, this draft is is the deep." said Bilas, "A draft of really good players that I can remember, and especially, I should say, this freshman class, is deeper than any freshman class I can recall. It doesn't mean the top five players are better than five or 10 years ago; it means the rest of the players are better. That's why so many teams were interested in having a draft pick. But having it as high as possible in this draft, because you have the chance to get a player that's really going to help you, and it's going to help you right away."

This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke with ESPN basketball ***** yst Jay Bilas.
In his interview with Easton Jr., Bilas discusses his participation in this year's American Century Championship, which will take place July 10-12 at Edgewood Tahoe and air on NBC and Peacock. He shared his thoughts on the impact of NIL and the transfer portal on NFL and NBA draft front-office evaluation decisions.
"I think everybody competes hard (at the American Century Championship), and they want to do well, but at the same time everybody realized we're not PGA Tour players," said Bilas, "This is a hobby for us, so you have to show yourself a little grace too."
A significant change in the NFL and NBA draft evaluation process has been players' adjustment to multiple schools in college due to NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) and the transfer portal.
"It just depends on the why of it.
