AA Milne's first Pooh book was published a century ago in October 1926. Generations of children loved it, but its inspiration, the author's own son, told the BBC that he took to "running away when people bring up the subject".
"Pooh, promise you won't forget about me, ever. Not even when I'm a hundred." This is the plaintive cry made by Christopher Robin to his teddy bear, Winnie-the-Pooh, in the final chapter of The House in Pooh Corner.
British novelist and playwright AA Milne needn't have worried. The first Winnie-the-Book was published 100 years ago in October 1926, and introduced a cast of characters modelled on the author's son and the soft toys he played with: lovably dim Pooh Bear, nervy Piglet, hyperactive Tigger, pessimistic Eeyore. Far from being forgotten, in the century since then the characters have taken on a life far beyond the parameters of their idyllic home, the Hundred Acre Wood.
BBC Radio 4, Desert Island Discs: Christopher Milne, 13/11/1976
From 1966, they became the subject of animated and live-action Disney films, in what is now one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. Pooh Bear has even courted controversy in Poland for being "inappropriate", sparked memes mocking the Chinese president Xi Jinping, and prompted tongue-in-cheek pop-culture theories in which the residents of the Hundred Acre Wood have been "diagnosed" with different psychological conditions.

SOUTH BEND — It didn't take Teddy Jarrard very long to get some game action for Notre Dame football.
Thanks to the Week 2 scheduling of overmatched Rice, a 44.5-point underdog, Jarrard followed Noah Grubbs into Saturday's runaway win. He entered the game with Notre Dame leading 52-0 with 6:00 remaining in the 4th quarter.
Here are three things to know about Teddy Jarrard, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound freshman from Kennesaw, GA.

SOUTH BEND — Notre Dame football's trio of backup quarterbacks entered the 2026 season with zero college snaps to their credit.
That changed Saturday, Sept. 12 against overmatched Rice, when preseason Heisman Trophy candidate CJ Carr gave way to No. 2 quarterback Noah Grubbs with the Irish leading 49-0 at the 9:22 mark of the third quarter.
Here are three things to know about Grubbs, a freshman from Lake Mary, FL.
No, he isn't. At 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds, Grubbs' physical measurements are an exact match for fellow first-year signal caller Teddy Jarrard.
Both Carr and second-year man Blake Hebert are listed at 6-2 and right around the same weight: Carr tips the scales at 215 pounds while Hebert is listed at 216.

After examining the Indianapolis Colts' final injury report of Week 1, where do the Baltimore Ravens stand health-wise entering this game?
On Friday afternoon, the Ravens ruled two players out -- defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) and linebacker Teddye Buchanan (knee).

Glenn Erby of Ravens Wire provided some insight into what Madubuike's absence could mean for this game:
"Madubuike's absence leaves Baltimore without its most disruptive interior pass rusher for a matchup," Erby wrote. "His ability to collapse the pocket and create penetration against the run would have been valuable against one of the NFL's most explosive running backs."

If you think Army is going to run over, around and through the South Florida defense the way the Black Knights did against Bryant in week one, think again.
There were a lot of positives to draw from as Army rolled up a school-record 648 yards of total offense and 569 rushing yards on the way to a 59-3 victory over Bryant. With a rout in progress, Army went deep into its bench and utilized 16 different ball carries, including three quarterbacks.
South Florida is not Bryant. The Bulls feature a defensive front that averages 6-foot-3, 293 pounds per man (Major Dillard is 330 pounds at nose, Asani Redwood is 300 at tackle and Michael Williams is 250 at end), compared to the Bryant squad that averaged 30 pounds less. Jump to the linebackers, and USF features a group that averages 6-3, 233 pounds, more than a dozen pounds heavier than the similar Bryant unit. You can also expect South Florida's defenders will be quicker to close off the edges, perhaps cutting off Army's success on the perimeter.
The Bulls held Florida International to 80 yards on 25 carries in a 19-9 win on the evening of Sept 5. FIU did roll up 301 yards of passing, on 62% of completed throws, but run-dominant Army has not been a passing threat for many years.
Based off last week's starting lineup (the Bulls do not release depth charts to the media), the South Florida defense fields nine starters who transferred in from other Division I schools. Linebackers C.J. Hicks (Ohio State), Grayson Howard (South Carolina and Florida) and Sam Robinson (Rutgers) played Power 4 ball, as did Redwood (West Virginia) up front. Corner Teddy Foster (Florida) and 'Star' Amanio Fortenberry (Kansas State) help anchor the secondary.

Lake Travis' matchup against Cibolo Steele ended in an abrupt 28-28 tie Friday when inclement weather swept through the area. Lightning was spotted within 10 miles of Lehnhoff Stadium with 4 minutes and 43 seconds left in the third quarter, leading to the initial weather delay.
After approximately 30 minutes, officials ruled the game a tie; the weather's severity had increased, and parts of the stadium lost power.

Antoun raced to the opposing 5-yard line, when defenders pushed him out of bounds. Running back Teddy Lofgren punched the ball into the end zone to tie the game; the last points of the day.

Baltimore Ravens LB Teddye Buchanan (knee) and DL Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) were limited in practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. WR Devontez Walker (groin) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable. DE Calais Campbell (rest) did not practice on Friday, Sept. 11, and no longer appears on the injury report. WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday and is no longer listed on the injury report.

In one of the first deviations from John Harbaugh's usual approach, the Baltimore Ravens did not hold a full practice Thursday, but their estimated injury report included an encouraging development ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Indianapolis Colts.
Wide receiver Zay Flowers was listed as a full participant after being listed as a limited participant Wednesday because of a hamstring injury. The upgrade places him on track to play barring a setback during the remainder of the week.
Because Baltimore held a walkthrough, Thursday's participation levels projected how much work each player would handle during a traditional practice. Linebacker Teddye Buchanan was listed as a limited participant for the second consecutive day because of a knee injury. Defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike was also listed as a limited participant again with a neck injury.

Madubuike's availability will be particularly important against Jonathan Taylor and the Colts' powerful rushing attack. The defensive tackle missed the final 15 games of the 2025 season, making his progression one of Baltimore's most significant Week 1 storylines. Wide receiver Devontez Walker was listed as a limited participant for the second consecutive day with a groin injury. His status could affect Baltimore's receiving rotation and special teams plans.

The Baltimore Ravens reconstructed their coaching staff and strengthened several areas of the roster after falling short of the postseason. Those changes created renewed optimism, but they also increased the pressure on several returning players.
Baltimore's established stars will drive the team's championship pursuit. The Ravens' ability to close the gap in the AFC, however, could be determined by younger contributors becoming more consistent in expanded roles.
Here are five Ravens who must improve in 2026.
Simpson possesses the athletic tools to become a productive three-down linebacker, but Baltimore needs greater consistency from him alongside Roquan Smith. He must diagnose plays faster, take cleaner pursuit angles, and become more dependable in coverage. Teddye Buchanan and Jay Higgins IV give the Ravens additional options, placing even more importance on Simpson converting his physical ability into reliable production.
Rosengarten has gained valuable experience at right tackle, but the Ravens need him to take another step as a pass protector. His ability to handle speed rushers without consistent ****** istance would give Declan Doyle greater freedom with formations and route combinations. Baltimore cannot allow pressure from the right side to disrupt Lamar Jackson or force the offense away from deeper-developing concepts.

It's time for my annual Vikings season forecast. And like my forecasts for the rest of the NFC North teams, I will be looking at roster/coaching changes this offseason, injuries and luck factors from last season, and the change in strength of schedule from last season to this season to guide my forecast.
One thing you never find attached to any pundit's predictions is their track record, except this one. Predicting outcomes of football games and seasons is far from an exact science, but there are some key factors that can and do impact a team's season, some of which are not immediately obvious. Nevertheless, there are so many interrelated variables involved that perfection is impossible. My own track record is far from perfect, but since I started using my current formula I've at least been closer than the over/under total two of the last three seasons- 2023 being way off due to Kirk Cousins going down mid-season. In any case, this will be my tenth prediction over the past eleven seasons, having abandoned any prediction in 2016 after Teddy Bridgewater went down just prior to the start of the season. Here are the results:
2015: Prediction: 10-6. Actual: 11-5. Preseason over/under: 7.5
2016: No prediction after Bridgewater went down. Acutal: 8-8. Preseason over/under: 9.5 (pre-Bridgewater injury).
2017: Prediction: 12-4. Actual: 13-3. Preseason over/under: 8.5

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Josh Dobbs made his case Saturday to be Detroit's top backup quarterback by throwing two touchdown passes and leading the Lions on another TD drive to help the Lions beat the Indianapolis Colts 25-16.
The competition between Dobbs, a veteran who signed during training camp, and rookie Luke Altmyer became one of the Lions' key camp battles after Teddy Bridgewater retired earlier this month.
Incumbent starter Jared Goff did not throw a pass in Detroit's three preseason games, allowing Dobbs and Altmyer to take center stage. And they essentially played to a draw through two games.
But in the preseason finale, Dobbs may have gotten the upper hand.
Altmyer played the first and third quarters, going 7 of 11 for 55 yards while taking the Lions a 75-yard TD drive. He also threw an interception, lost a fumble and was sacked twice.

One bonus that comes with a Week 0 conference game is it means we get an official injury report for NC State much earlier than we would normally. And that initial report indicates that the Pack made it out of camp pretty healthy—no key players are listed. Virginia's injury list is much longer, though the Cavs aren't in bad shape overall, either.
The initial ACC injury report has been released for NC State at Virginia ahead of Week 0.

Cavs' LB Kam Robinson and S Corey Costner. RB Solomon Beebe is officially out, along with WR Rico Flores. NC State freshman WR Tyreek Copper is out. https://t.co/mRqanLWA7H pic.twitter.com/ogvod57NFQ
Isaiah Crowell missed all of last season with an injury and might still be working his way back from that, but he'd played only sparingly in 2024. Teddy Hoffman, of course, is out for the season thanks to a positive PED test. Tyreek Copper has had some offseason buzz around him but the true freshman's time on the field this week probably would have been minimal at best, even if he were fully healthy.
On the UVA side, receiver Rico Flores was listed as a starter earlier this week on the team's depth chart. Flores had a rather modest 2025 season at UCLA (26 catches for 274 yards), so he probably wasn't going to be a key to the Cavs' gameplan anyway. The status of star linebacker Kam Robinson, who tore an ACL last November, is what you should be watching for on Saturday. If he is well enough to play, then he can be a difference-maker for UVA.

Tate McRae risked baring it all in a Calvin Klein jacket that slipped off her shoulders. The Grammy winner put a modern twist on classic cold-weather street style, posing for a photo for the brand's new ad campaign. Her look perfectly blended tactile texture with relaxed-denim construction.
Tate McRae wore a Calvin Klein Faux Teddy Collar Jacket in the warm, earthy Tiger's Eye shade. The jacket featured a plush, cloud-like shearling finish. The nubby, curly grain added visual depth and tactile richness. Designed with a structured spread collar and a slightly oversized, boxy silhouette, the outerwear offered a plush contrast to the sleek skin showing underneath.
Styled off-the-shoulder, the jacket's heavy texture draped fluidly, softening its structural volume while creating a moody, relaxed, louche effect. For her lower half, she opted for 90s Straight Jeans in Indigo Julius, also from Calvin Klein.
They had a timeless vintage rise and a relaxed, straight-leg silhouette that added a grounding classic denim structure. Further, the deep indigo wash featured subtle whiskering and tonal contrast that caught the warm lighting.
The full-length leg stacked naturally over the frame as she sat. The rigid denim fell loosely, mirroring the jacket's effortless ease. The contrast between the rich, dark indigo cotton and the warm, honeyed tones of the plush teddy coat brought dimension to her look. Together, they struck the perfect balance between retro nostalgia and modern glamour.

An entertainment industry group that includes Hollywood producers Haim Saban, Lawrence Bender and Teddy Schwarzman has released a statement condemning the alleged "antisemitic tropes" underpinning Mark Ruffalo's opposition to Paramount's leadership amid its proposed merger with Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD).
The statement comes from a group calling itself The Brigade, which describes itself as "a group of nearly 1,000 members, friends, and allies of the Jewish community who are proud to be working in film, television, music, Broadway, social and digital, and other platforms in and around the entertainment industry."

Jane Fonda has released a statement in support of Mark Ruffalo after Paramount slammed the four-time Oscar nominee as "antisemitic" for a recent post denouncing Larry Ellison's ties to Israel and David Ellison's planned merger with Warner Bros.
"Especially as a Jewish American, I find it deeply troubling to see false accusations of antisemitism used to silence legitimate political criticism in this country," Fonda wrote in a statement shared to the Committee for the 1st Amendment Instagram. "Antisemitism is real and dangerous, which is precisely why the charge should never be used as a cudgel against people whose political views you dislike, in this case as dedicated a crusader for democracy as Mark, whom we are proud to have as a Committee member and to be in this fight with us."

A dog that went missing during a Lake District walk on Helvellyn three weeks ago has been found.
The pet, called Teddy, disappeared on 2 August, promoting a search by volunteers from Keswick Mountain Rescue Team and others.
It was found stuck at Dry Gill on Friday after one of the search party heard barking.
Due to the dangerous location, a mountain rescue team was called to help bring the dog to safety, before it was returned to the "relieved" owner about three hours later and taken to a vet.
"The team are absolutely delighted to share this update, as the news of this missing dog had deeply affected so many people across our local community," a spokesperson said.

Duke Football is close to opening up their season as the defending ACC champions. What's in store for them? On Episode 840, we speak with Anna Snyder of the Fayetteville Observer on where the football team is at as they finish out the preseason.
The biggest question facing the Blue Devils this season: who will start at QB? All signs point to either transfer Walker Eget or sophomore Dan Mahan. Whoever is under center, they will have Nate Sheppard to hand the ball to and Jeremiah Hasley to throw the ball downfield to as they try to put points on the board. Anna takes us through the offense and defense and speaks to what qualities will be the calling card for Duke this season as they seek to defend their ******* le against all doubters.
We also dip a bit into the basketball, asking Anna about the summer and which players have been the ones to stand out in practice. We also see which non-conference games have her the most excited about the season as Duke hopes to add to their banner collection atop Cameron Indoor Stadium.
We end the show with an update on Mike Corey's recovery from a tragic car accident that claimed the life of his son, Teddy. Mike physically is doing much better and appreciates all the well-wishes. Emotionally, that toll will take a bit longer for him and his family to process. A memorial fund has been established in Teddy's honor, and we encourage everyone to share it widely and pay tribute to Teddy's life that was taken far too soon.

Josh Dobbs is getting his turn.
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell announced Thursday that Dobbs will start Saturday's preseason matchup against the Washington Commanders, while Jared Goff will remain on the sideline. Rookie Luke Altmyer will also play, with Campbell planning to divide the quarterback work evenly between the two backups.
"We'll start Dobbs, but they'll play equal amounts. That's the plan," Campbell said.
For Dobbs, this is more than a ceremonial preseason start. Detroit needs to figure out exactly what it has behind Goff, and Saturday should give the veteran his best opportunity yet to make his case for the No. 2 job.
The Lions signed Dobbs after Teddy Bridgewater's retirement, putting him into an unusual August competition with Altmyer.

The Oklahoma Sooners could have one of the most improved offenses in college football in 2026. A team that finished No. 93 in the nation in scoring offense will have a better offensive line and improved play from quarterback John Mateer, simply because he's healthier. But the Sooners have a deeper wide receiver corps this season.
Oklahoma made upgrades through the transfer portal with the additions of Trell Harris and Parker Livingstone, but they have talent developing on the depth chart in 2025 signees Manny Choice and Elijah Thomas. With a week left in fall camp, it sounds like Thomas, a former four-star prospect out of Checotah, Okla., is turning heads.
"...shoot made in the lab," veteran wide receiver Isaiah Sategna said after practice on Tuesday. "He, I mean, yoked up (strong), super fast, you know. And like I said, with the young guys, you know, we just gotta work the details, you know."
Elijah Thomas' athleticism and big-play ability earned him four-star status coming out of high school. As a true freshman, he didn't get many opportunities on offense, but he was a standout special teams performer. He's parlayed that work, along with the absence of Harris and Livingstone in spring ball, into opportunities with the first-team offense during training camp. Thomas is creating buzz and could be a player for the Sooners this fall.
When Teddy Lehman and Gabe Ikard were discussing what stood out to them on The Oklahoma Breakdown at fall camp from the skill positions, Ikard immediately said Thomas.

#livingstone

The Oklahoma Sooners are in desperate need of fixing the running game this upcoming season. The Sooners ranked No. 113 in rushing offense last year at 118.5 yards per game, the second-worst among College Football Playoff teams.
So, Oklahoma has placed an emphasis on improving its rushing attack this offseason. Some of that is the addition of tight end coach Jason Witten and running back coach Deland McCullough. It's also due to what they return in the running back room and the new additions. Oklahoma returns its top two rushers at the running back position in Tory Blaylock and Xavier Robinson.
The Sooners also added Colorado State Rams transfer Lloyd Avant, who has received significant offseason buzz. But there is one guy that is stealing the show. Former Oklahoma All-American Teddy Lehman said he's been blown away by four-star freshman Jonathan Hatton Jr.
"Hatton is looking better and better and better," Lehman said on the 'Oklahoma Breakdown with Ikard and Lehman.' "I mean, had a really nice day out there at the scrimmage. He had a couple of big-time plays. You've got a 235-pound tailback that's one of the fastest guys on the team. So, we have a dude."
At 235 pounds, Hatton already has the size to handle the physical demands of SEC football. If Lehman's ***** sment of his speed and explosiveness is accurate, he could bring a combination that is difficult for defenses to account for.

Emilie Kiser has apologized after footage from a family trip showed her 16-month-old son, Teddy, briefly sitting on a boat without a life jacket.
In a TikTok video posted Friday, Aug. 14, the 27-year-old influencer said she and her husband, Brady Kiser, made a mistake. She also said she believes the public discussion is important because it holds people accountable.
Kiser said the moment occurred during a June trip to Mallorca, Spain. Teddy had become fussy, she explained, so she and Brady removed his life jacket for a few moments while they tried to calm him. The footage appeared in a since-deleted vacation video shared by fellow influencer Madi Curtis.
The response has been especially sensitive because Kiser's older son, Trigg, died at age 3 following a drowning in the family's backyard pool in Chandler, Arizona, in May 2025. Since returning to social media after his death, Kiser has repeatedly discussed water safety and the precautions she believes families should take around pools and open water.
"I understand this conversation. I think it is important. It holds people accountable," Kiser said. "I know that I am not perfect. I know that we make mistakes, and all I can say is that I'm sorry, and that I know we made a mistake."

The Ravens activated linebacker Teddye Buchanan from active/physically unable to perform, the team announced.
Buchanan, who is returning from a torn ACL, passed his physical Friday.
Buchanan injured his knee on Dec. 14.
"This dude has been incredible in how he's attacked coming off the injury that he's come off of," Ravens coach Jesse Minter said of Buchanan last week, via Ryan Mink of the team website. "It's our job to make sure that when we put him into the football environment that he's ready and he doesn't have any setbacks off of that."
Buchanan took over the starting job next to Roquan Smith early last season and finished third on the team with 93 tackles despite missing the final three games.

The Oklahoma Sooners enter the 2026 college football season without many question marks on the defensive side of the ball. The Sooners possess one of the best defensive units in the sport.
However, the question marks the team has usually have to do with depth at certain positions. Cornerback is a position where the Sooners feel confident. Eli Bowen and Courtland Guillory are established starters and Jacobe Johnson has been a very good rotational player in his career. However, Oklahoma likes to be able to play four cornerbacks, and after losing Devon Jordan to the transfer portal, that leaves the fourth spot up for grabs.
Former Sooner All-American linebacker Teddy Lehman said that he thinks former Oklahoma preps star Trystan Haynes could be the guy to take that spot and get into the rotation.
"I really like Trystan Haynes," Lehman said on 'The Oklahoma Breakdown with Ikard and Lehman.' "I've seen some really good stuff from him."
Haynes' emergence would give Oklahoma another young, talented option in the secondary and allow the Sooners to keep their top cornerbacks fresh throughout the season. It would also give the coaching staff more flexibility with its defensive personnel and coverage packages.

Now it's official.
Former NFL quarterback Teddy Bridgewater announced his retirement on Monday, and it's for good this time.
Bridgewater initially retired from football at the end of the 2023 season, before coming out of retirement in time for the 2024 playoffs with the Detroit Lions. Bridgewater then coached high school football, winning a state championship before being suspended in July 2025 for providing "impermissible benefits" to the high school by paying for multiple items out of his own pocket.
After that, Bridgewater served as a backup quarterback on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2025, completing eight of 15 passes for 62 yards in four games.
Bridgewater announced his decision in an Instagram post. "This time, it's official," Bridgewater wrote. "When the body speaks to me, I have to listen so that I can be in one piece and available for my children as they grow up. The game of football was beyond great to me and owes me nothing at all. I really did things my way."

#Football #Retirement #school

Back in 2016, many expected that then-Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater would never play in another NFL game. Fast forward to 2026, and Bridgewater is retiring (for a second time) after 11 NFL seasons.
Bridgewater suffered a devastating knee injury during practice with the Vikings in 2016. At the time, he had emerged as Vikings' franchise quarterback, but the injury changed the trajectory of his entire career.
After bouncing around the league largely as a backup, Bridgewater returned to Detroit this offseason to be Jared Goff's backup. On Sunday, though, Lions head coach Dan Campbell told reporters that Bridgewater had decided to retire.
On Monday, Bridgewater took to Instagram to explain the decision.

The Detroit Lions continue to scan the free-agent market as training camp rolls along, and one name from their latest workout group certainly stands out.
According to the NFL transaction wire, Detroit brought eight players to Allen Park for tryouts, headlined by former Dallas Cowboys All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs. The group also included quarterbacks Jack Plummer and Jake Haener, receivers Julian Hicks and Ray-Ray McCloud, and linebackers Amari Burney, Milo Eifler and Amen Ogbongbemiga.
Ogbongbemiga has since signed with Detroit, while the Lions are also adding veteran quarterback Josh Dobbs following Teddy Bridgewater's retirement.
Diggs, 27, is easily the most accomplished player Detroit evaluated.
The former second-round pick exploded in 2021 when he led the NFL with 11 interceptions, returned two for touchdowns and earned First-Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors. He followed that with another Pro Bowl season in 2022.

Teddy Bridgewater retired and left the Detroit Lions with a QB2-sized hole that a former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback has now likely filled.
According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, ex-Steelers quarterback Joshua Dobbs has joined the Lions on a one-year deal, which will mark his second stint in Detroit after he spent time on the team's practice squad in 2022.
Dobbs, who was drafted by the Steelers in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, played in Pittsburgh from 2017 to 2019 and again from 2020 to 2021. He also played for the Jacksonville Jaguars (2019), Cleveland Browns (2022), Tennessee ***** ans (2022), Arizona Cardinals (2023), Minnesota Vikings (2023), San Francisco 49ers (2024), and New England Patriots (2025).
A literal rocket scientist with a major in aerospace engineering, Dobbs is often regarded as one of the smartest quarterbacks in the league and will no doubt look to bring an edge to Detroit's QB room.
