CHICAGO — Ben Kueter will not be on the Iowa football roster for the 2026 season, head coach Kirk Ferentz said on Aug. 14.
Ferentz indicated that Kueter is totally focused on wrestling now.
Kueter was a multi-sport star at Iowa City High and a four-star linebacker in the 2023 high school recruiting class. During his first year in college, Kueter was part of both the Hawkeyes football and wrestling programs, though he did not actually make his debut on the gridiron.
In 2024, Kueter announced he was temporarily stepping away from football to focus on wrestling. But since then, he has not officially rejoined the Iowa football roster, as he intended to do. During that time away from football, Kueter has twice been an All-American for Iowa wrestling at heavyweight and undergone multiple offseason surgeries.
In March, his mother Tina revealed via Facebook that Kueter dealt with a frightening health situation:

The Portland Fire have signed Amy Okonkwo to a standard WNBA contract as an injury replacement, in the wake of Sarah Ashlee Barker missing the remainder of the season with a torn ACL. Okonkwo, a two-time Women's AfroBasket MVP, previously played for the Dallas Wings and Atlanta Dream. Now, she joins a first-year Fire squad that is 13-19 and hamstrung by injuries.
Okonkwo has played in 9 WNBA regular-season games over the past two seasons. She averaged 11 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals for the Wings. She returned to the Wings this season on a training-camp deal but was waived before the season began. She then signed a developmental contract with the Atlanta Dream on May 13th, but was released on July 8th.
The 29-year-old has spent much of her professional career overseas, playing in Spain, France, Israel and Mexico. But she's most known for her play with the Nigerian team; she averaged 17.4 points and 8.2 rebounds at the 2023 AfroBasket tournament.
She then led Nigeria to its fifth consecutive African ******* le in 2025, scoring 14 points per game. Okonkwo was an integral part of the 2020 and 2024 Nigerian Olympic teams, averaging 11 points and 4.8 rebounds in Paris as the Nigerian women became the first African team, men or women, to reach the quarterfinals.
To take on this Fire opportunity, Okonkwo had to temporarily leave the Nigerian national team's training camp — but she'll return in time for the World Cup later this month.

According to a report from Forbes, tennis legend Roger Federer has temporarily lost his billionaire status due to one of the companies he's invested in.
Roger Federer may have fewer major **** les than Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, but he's widely considered the greatest tennis player of all time by many fans.
Federer won more than $130 million playing tennis in prizes for his performances in various tournaments. However, his real wealth came off the court, from endorsement deals and shrewd investments.
A while back, Forbes announced that the Swiss legend had become a billionaire. Now, however, it seems he has temporarily fallen out of the club once again.

Scottish slugger "King of the North" Nico Carrillo has already conquered Muay Thai on the grandest stage of martial arts. At ONE Fight Night 46: Hemetsberger vs. Diachkova on Prime Video, he takes his first step toward doing the same in kickboxing.
The ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Champion will temporarily put the four-ounce gloves aside to open his kickboxing account against Chinese newcomer Zhou Jiaqiang in U.S. primetime this Friday, August 14, from Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium.
The timing of this fight arrives alongside a major shift for the Glaswegian. Carrillo was recently elevated from interim **** leholder to undisputed divisional king, news that would understandably shift most fighters' focus toward celebration.
Not so for "King of the North," who insists the achievement changes absolutely nothing about how he is approaching this featherweight kickboxing battle on Friday.

Tottenham are moving like a club that have stopped thinking small. According to TeamTalk, Spurs have held conversations over a possible summer move for Endrick, and while plenty still has to happen before this becomes concrete, the logic is obvious.
Roberto De Zerbi has already overseen an aggressive window. Tottenham have added Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, while smashing their transfer record twice. That tells you two things. First, the club are backing the new head coach properly. Second, they are not done.
De Zerbi has made it clear the squad build is incomplete, particularly in attack. Savinho is reportedly the priority out wide, Cody Gakpo remains on the radar and Pedro Neto is viewed as an alternative. Endrick, though, is a different discussion. He is not a standard market opportunity, he is one of those rare cases where elite potential becomes temporarily available because a super-club have too many moving parts at once.
Photo IMAGO
The key detail is the structure. Real Madrid are only prepared to authorise another straight loan. That usually puts some clubs off. Tottenham, apparently, are open to it, even without a buy option. Sensible enough. If you are convinced a player can shift the level of your forward line immediately, the absence of a long-term guarantee does not automatically kill the deal.

The Chicago Bears have been ravaged by injuries through the first nine days of training camp, specifically at defensive back that includes star safety Coby Bryant and his replacement nickel-converted-safety Cam Lewis.
Before Sunday's training camp practice, defensive coordinator Dennis Allen discussed Lewis' injury. While there's no timetable for Lewis' return, Allen responded "I don't think so" when asked about if he's expected to be sidelined for extended time. He also announced that Lewis will not practice on Sunday, but it sounded encouraging about his short-term status as the injuries continue to pile up.
The Bears signed Lewis to a one-year contract this offseason to serve as valuable depth and bring versatility to the defensive back room. He's done exactly that just a week into training camp when he went from competing for the nickel cornerback job in Kyler Gordon's absence to filling the void left at safety when Bryant went down with a knee injury.
Now, with Lewis temporarily sidelined, the question becomes who's the next man up at the position. Undrafted rookie Skyler Thomas saw action with the first-team defense opposite top rookie Dillon Thieneman. But Chicago also signed veteran Xavier Woods earlier this week.
Allen praised the addition of Woods, who has experience and familiarity working with defensive backs coach Al Harris. Once they get him ramped up, Woods should factor into the equation at safety.

King Charles is preparing to briefly step away from public life for his annual break at the family's long-time "cherished" Scottish residence, Balmoral Castle.
As the royal family get ready to retreat to the 50,000-acre estate in Aberdeenshire for the summer, the grounds will no longer be accessible to the public. Balmoral Castle's official website states that visitors are welcome to the grounds, gardens and exhibitions from 28 March to 9 August, after which it will shut its gates ahead of the royal family's arrival.
"The grounds, gardens, Mews Gift Shop, Restaurant and Ballroom Exhibition are now open daily until Sunday 9th August," the notice reads. From 10 August, the estate will remain temporarily closed to visitors for the duration of the summer. The grounds are expected to reopen for the autumn season from early October.

General admission to the public includes access to the Castle Ballroom where visitors can view the year's exhibition. "You will be able to enjoy some of the walks around the grounds and have an opportunity to visit the Mews Gift Shop and the Restaurant," the estate website reads.

Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg reports that 1. FC Köln have reached a full agreement with Tottenham Hotspur attacking talent Mikey Moore over a loan move to the Bundesliga. The 18-year-old remains set to join Köln on a season-long loan without an option to buy. Tottenham continue to regard Moore as an important part of their long-term plans and have no intention of permanently relinquishing control of the England youth international.
The latest development comes after some uncertainty surrounding the transfer. Tottenham temporarily placed Moore's proposed move to Köln on hold and kept the youngster available for their pre-season friendly against Getafe. A move to the cathedral city nevertheless remains firmly on course. All that remains is for Spurs head coach Roberto de Zerbi to give the green light.
Get German Football News first covered Köln's advanced pursuit of Moore last week, with both Fabrizio Romano and Sky Germany reporting that the player favored a Bundesliga switch in the midst of advanced negotiations with the Domstädter.
His prospective arrival also remains interesting in the context of Said El Mala's future. Borussia Dortmund continue pushing to sign Köln's 19-year-old attacking star, though die Geißböcke have thus far resisted BVB's substantial offers. Moore's arrival would provide Köln with another highly-rated attacking option regardless of how the El Mala saga concludes.
Tottenham's reluctance to include any purchase option nevertheless makes the purpose of the move clear. Köln would receive another talented young attacker for the coming Bundesliga campaign, while Spurs hope regular top-flight football in Germany will further accelerate Moore's development.

Aug 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Thursday in a new but narrower attempt to curtail birthright citizenship, once again challenging a provision of the U.S. Constitution even though the Supreme Court rejected his previous effort.
Limiting birthright citizenship has been one of the top priorities in the Republican president's crackdown on immigration, with the White House taking particular aim at what it calls "birth tourism," in which pregnant foreigners travel to the U.S. to give birth.
After his June 30 setback in the Supreme Court, Trump called on Congress to act, but on Thursday he opted for executive orders, which set policy but do not carry the same weight as laws passed by Congress.
The Supreme Court had struck down as unconstitutional Trump's earlier executive order, which targeted a wide swath of immigrants in the country illegally or temporarily.

The High Court of Justice of Madrid (TSJM) has granted the precautionary suspension of Isi Palazón's sanction. As reported by El Chiringuito, the Rayo Vallecano footballer will be eligible to play at the start of LaLiga.
The Rayo attacker had been carrying a seven-match ban imposed by the RFEF's Disciplinary Committee after the clash against Real Sociedad last season. That sanction had been upheld on appeal, prompting the legal action taken by the club.
With this measure from the ordinary courts, the enforcement of the sanction is provisionally frozen while the substance of the case is examined. The court has temporarily halted the punishment in light of the arguments presented by the Vallecas-based club.
This ruling represents crucial relief for Rayo Vallecano, who get back one of their main leaders for the league opener against Deportivo Alavés. The availability of their captain brings authority and quality to the team's attack at the start of the campaign.

Revenue growth acceleration to 10% in constant currency was driven by the return of high-spending customers and record WOW membership levels following a prior-year data incident.
Management attributes the 8% Product Commerce growth to a 'blended' rate where the vast majority of spend has returned to record levels, while a minority cohort remains absent from the year-over-year comparison.
Current margin compression reflects a deliberate decision to maintain fixed costs and capacity sized for pre-incident demand trajectories to protect the long-term customer experience.
Supply chain efficiencies and volume-based savings are temporarily suppressed due to demand being below planned capacity, a dynamic management expects to reverse as volume grows into the network.

Juventus keep searching for the best possible solution between the sticks and are weighing some new ones. For instance, PSG could acquire Zion Suzuki from Parma and then loan him out to them for one season, they don't plan to make him an immediate starter, Fabrizio Romano reports (via SOSFanta).
The Ducali have rejected a couple of offers north of €30M. The UEFA Champions League champions are readying a potentially decisive rise. They won't arrive to €45/50M, but they are confident they will be able to strike a deal.
PSG and Juventus touched on the possibility of Suzuki moving to Turin temporarily to continue playing regularly during the Randal Kolo Muani talks. The goalkeeper isn't too enthused by the prospect of riding the bench. The decision is up to the Bianconeri.
Other than Guglielmo Vicario, the Old Lady has earmarked World Cup standout Orlando Gill. He plays at San Lorenzo and has a €8.6M release clause, TuttoSport informs. While he shone for Paraguay, he's emerged onto the scene relatively recently, and it'd be his first stint in Europe. Moreover, they have been offered Ederson from Jorge Mendes, TRT Spor informs (via MSN). The former Manchester City star could depart Fenerbahce due to some issues with the club.
While they have been fixated on a decorated goalie, they are actually well-positioned to roll the dice with a touted prospect, if he's not too pricey, as Mattia Perin is a rock-solid backup. They are surely making everything possible to make Vicario feel unwanted. A patch like adding him or Suzuki on loan wouldn't jibe with their great history at the position. Only going all-out for a top-shelf goalie next year would offset that.

Peru has temporarily suspended the operations of sightseeing airline Aerodiana after one of its planes crashed in the country's Ica region on Saturday, killing 11 European tourists and two crew members.
Aerodiana, which flies customers over the Nazca Lines archaeological site in southern Peru, must suspend all operations "until investigations are completed to verify the company's compliance with the applicable aviation regulations, procedures and operating requirements," Peru's Ministry of Transportation and Communications said Sunday.
CNN has reached out to Aerodiana for comment.
The Peruvian government earlier said that the crew of the small sightseeing plane had reported a mechanical problem before radio contact was lost.

Luis Castillo's tenure as a Seattle Mariner has apparently come to an end. The Mariners announced tonight they have traded Castillo to the White Sox in exchange for reliever Seranthony Dominguez, outfielder Nolan Jones, and catching prospect Boston Smith. Per Daniel Kramer, the Mariners aren't sending any money to offset the remainder of what Castillo is owed on the extension he signed in 2022, which runs through 2027 with a vesting option for 2028 if he reaches 180 innings.
In exchange, the Mariners will be absorbing Dominguez's not-insignificant salary for the remainder of this year and the next year of his contract, when he's slated to make $10.5M. Dominguez also has an option for 2028, but it's a mutual option (with a $2M buyout).
The 31-year-old Dominguez is on pace for the worst season of his career; he still collects strikeouts but his walk rate has ballooned over the past two seasons; he's currently walking over 14% of batters faced. Compounding that problem is a serious case of dingeritis – a career-high 16.7% of fly ******* he's allowed have gone for homers, even in Chicago's ******* ious confines. But he does still strike a lot of batters out and generate whiffs, he can still rush the fastball up at 97+, and he's got a full complement of pitches for the Mariners pitching coaches to work with, even if he's primarily a heater-sweeper pitcher as a reliever. It's an expensive gamble, but the Mariners are both solving their rotation logjam (temporarily) and shedding Castillo's contract in the move; if Dominguez can be Mariner-pitching-hive-minded into even a serviceable mid-innings arm, that's a boon to the beleaguered bullpen.
The other pieces coming over in the trade are interesting in their own right. Nolan Jones is probably a name you're familiar with if you were big into prospects a decade-ish ago; he was a second-rounder drafted by Cleveland in 2016 as a highly athletic two-sport athlete and attracted a lot of prospect attention as he made his way up the ladder for his 6'4" frame, easy raw power from the left side, and a star turn in the Arizona Fall League and the Futures Game in 2019. Unfortunately, injuries derailed his ascent, and he was dealt to the Rockies in 2023 for Juan Brito shortly after making his big-league debut. Now 28, Jones has spent time in the bigs but never really latched on consistently (outside of one 2023 season where he seemed to put it all together for Colorado), mostly due to a monstrous K rate compounded by the length of his swing. He's been with the White Sox Triple-A team this season, blocked by the surprisingly good play at the big-league level, and will likely serve a similar role for Seattle as outfield depth at Tacoma.

Compounding that problem is a serious case of dingeritis – a career-high 16.7% of fly ******* he's allowed have gone for homers, even in Chicago's ******* ious confines. But he does still strike a lot of batters out and generate whiffs, he can still rush the fastball up at 97+, and he's got a full complement of pitches for the Mariners pitching coaches to work with, even if he's primarily a heater-sweeper pitcher as a reliever. It's an expensive gamble, but the Mariners are both solving their rotation logjam (temporarily) and shedding Castillo's contract in the move; if Dominguez can be Mariner-pitching-hive-minded into even a serviceable mid-innings arm, that's a boon to the beleaguered bullpen.
The other pieces coming over in the trade are interesting in their own right. Nolan Jones is probably a name you're familiar with if you were big into prospects a decade-ish ago; he was a second-rounder drafted by Cleveland in 2016 as a highly athletic two-sport athlete and attracted a lot of prospect attention as he made his way up the ladder for his 6'4" frame, easy raw power from the left side, and a star turn in the Arizona Fall League and the Futures Game in 2019. Unfortunately, injuries derailed his ascent, and he was dealt to the Rockies in 2023 for Juan Brito shortly after making his big-league debut. Now 28, Jones has spent time in the bigs but never really latched on consistently (outside of one 2023 season where he seemed to put it all together for Colorado), mostly due to a monstrous K rate compounded by the length of his swing. He's been with the White Sox Triple-A team this season, blocked by the surprisingly good play at the big-league level, and will likely serve a similar role for Seattle as outfield depth at Tacoma.

Late Friday evening, a judge in Colorado made a decision that could bring significant change to college athletics, especially college football, ahead of the 2026 season.
College athletes who graduated high school in 2022 and just exhausted their college eligibility this past year have been granted a class-wide preliminary injunction to play a fifth season.
The ruling came from Judge Charlotte Sweeney of the U.S. Distrct Court of Colorado on Friday, July 31.
With the new ruling in place, at least temporarily, a few Colorado football players from the Buffaloes' 2025 roster would be eligible to play the 2026 season. Those players are edge rusher Keaten Wade, placekicker Alejandro Mata and kickoff specialist Buck Buchanan.
Adding any of those three likely would not change much with Coloroso's 2026 roster, and CU currently has only one roster spot open. Mata, however, did respond to the ruling on social media, hinting he would be interested in a return.

McALLEN, Texas (AP) — A Texas mother deported to Mexico despite having legal permission to stay in the U.S. after arriving as a child has filed a lawsuit against the federal government after it notified her it would be terminating her permission because of "unauthorized travel" stemming from her deportation.
Jessica Treviño, 34, filed a lawsuit through her attorney this week asking a federal judge to intervene.
Treviño and her husband were arrested in December after federal agents followed them and two of their daughters into a Home Depot parking lot in South Texas. Both were deported and are living in Matamoros, Mexico, just south of Brownsville, Texas. Their three children, all U.S. citizens, are living with family on the U.S. side near the border.
After being brought to the country as a child at the age of 7, Treviño subsequently received legal permission at 20 to remain in the U.S. under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. Introduced in 2012, DACA does not confer legal status but has allowed hundreds of thousands of people who had come to the U.S. as children to temporarily remain and obtain work permits.
As a DACA recipient, she must maintain a clean criminal record and is not allowed to travel outside the United States.

According to José Félix Díaz of AS , Real Madrid have temporarily slowed down their attempt to sign Rodri as the club is focused on finalizing the signing of RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande .
Although the Spanish midfielder remains a priority for José Mourinho's squad, the club's hierarchy have decided to complete the arrival of the Ivorian before resuming negotiations with Manchester City.
Diomande's transfer has entered its final stage , with personal terms already fully agreed.
The 21-year-old has agreed to a five-year contract with Real Madrid , and only the legal and administrative details remain to be finalized before the transfer can be officially completed.
Initially, the deal was expected to be wrapped up at the start of this week. However, disagreements over several contractual clauses between the two clubs delayed the process more than expected.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The deadline passed Tuesday for the Trump administration to ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its rejection of the president's birthright citizenship restrictions, with no new filing on the docket.
President Donald Trump vowed to seek a rehearing shortly after the opinion handed him a loss on a signature issue, but by Tuesday the 25-day window had elapsed with no new activity.
A petition would face long odds: The court has not agreed to rehear an argued case in more than 50 years.
The high court's 6-3 decision in June struck down Trump's executive order that would have denied automatic citizenship to children born in the United States whose parents are in the U.S. illegally or temporarily.
The Republican president's restrictions on birthright citizenship had been blocked by several lower courts before reaching the justices, and they did not take effect anywhere in the U.S.

Many in the sports radio industry consider the days of a good old-fashioned radio war long gone. Rarely do talents from competing radio stations throw verbal shots across the bow. This past weekend may have ignited a new battle in the City of Brotherly Love. After LeBron James signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, an outpouring of emotion filled the airwaves of 97.5 The Fanatic.
Hosts celebrated the moment on air and across social media. The station, which also serves as the flagship radio home of the franchise, temporarily rebranded as 97.5 LeBron. In a moment that shifted the culture surrounding Philadelphia basketball, one talent from the station's chief competitor took a different route. That's when the first shots were fired.
"When LeBron James signs with the Sixers, Spike Eskin [94WIP afternoon drive host] comes on the air and says he's counting down the days till LeBron James leaves Philadelphia. Maybe some of its schtick, but I couldn't have been happier," said Fanatic midday host Jon Marks.
The art of a radio war begins with moments. Despite weeks of saying that he would not want LeBron James in Philadelphia, Eskin's comments in the moments following James signing hit a different tone. In today's attention economy, anything and everything can be critiqued. Knowing when to pick your spots as a competitor is the first step.
"We [Philadelphia sports fans] have a reputation, and some of it's deserved. But the way Spike handled his first comments about LeBron signing in Philadelphia, that's not the reputation I want," explained Marks. "Opening the show at two o'clock and saying it's the worst day of your life, that's going to give Philadelphia sports fans a running stereotype. WIP embraces that, and this is what you get."

Falcons' bold right tackle move could define the 2026 season originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Atlanta Falcons are entering the 2026 season with a new look on the right side of their offensive line for the second consecutive year, hoping the latest changes will provide stability and strengthen the protection in front of their offense.
The transition began after longtime right tackle Kaleb McGary announced his retirement during the offseason. McGary, the 31st overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, started 92 games for Atlanta from 2019 through 2024 before a knee injury sidelined him for the entire 2025 season. His retirement marked the end of a significant chapter for the Falcons' offensive line.
Atlanta temporarily filled the void last season with veteran Elijah Wilkinson, but his departure in free agency left the Falcons searching once again for a dependable starter.
The team's answer came in the form of veteran tackle Jawaan Taylor. Selected four picks after McGary in the 2019 draft, Taylor brings a wealth of experience to Atlanta after spending time with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs. Over seven NFL seasons, he has started 120 regular-season games and appeared in nine playoff contests, giving the Falcons a proven veteran with championship experience.

The Community of Madrid has withdrawn Rayo Vallecano's concession for the Vallecas stadium in order to begin urgent renovation work. "There is no way to guarantee that nothing could happen," says the Minister for Culture, Tourism and Sport, Mariano de Paco.
The immediate consequence is that Rayo will not be able to start the season in its own stadium. The Community of Madrid has not given specifics but estimates that the renovation work will last "months" and plans to begin "as early as tomorrow."
The regional government is taking this decision to "guarantee people's safety" and explains that the works will address possible fire safety or sanitation issues. "We are going to act with total urgency and try to do it in the shortest possible time," the minister said.
Rayo Vallecano uses the municipal stadium, which it does not own, through a concession granted by the Community of Madrid.
"We carried out an audit of the stadium that produced quite bleak results regarding the stadium's maintenance. That was, as we all know, the club's responsibility and direct obligation, as was regulatory compliance and licensing, and the Community of Madrid has made the decision to temporarily pause the concession so that these renovations can be carried out," Minister Mariano de Paco explained.

Not every cheap stock is necessarily one worth owning. If you can find the right high-quality, high-yield tickers that are only temporarily beaten down, however, cheap stocks are actually bargains just waiting to be bought.
Here's a rundown of three dirt cheap dividend payers most investors are simply overlooking. That spells opportunity for you.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
It's not too difficult to figure out why Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO) shares are down so much from their 2024 peak. The GLP-1 weight-loss drug race that it helped start has since turned incredibly competitive, so much so that Novo's now losing market share to rival Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) (and others) within a business it largely built, forcing price cuts. Investors are also concerned about the limited expansion of Wegovy's label in this environment.
More recently, Novo's decision to file a lawsuit against Lilly (claiming that its top competitor's GLP-1 drug's advertising is misleading) may be valid, but it also suggests a certain degree of concerning desperation. Never even mind the fact that 2026 is now being seen as a "reset" year far sooner than a reset should have been necessary for the company.

Adam Ramsay-Peaty shrugged off a bizarre delay to power through to the semi-finals of the men’s 100 metres ***** troke event at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Ramsay-Peaty’s heat was temporarily halted as he was on the blocks when a lane divider broke off, requiring an official to strip to the waist and enter the pool to reconnect it.
Ramsay-Peaty duly wasted no time in recording the fastest time of the morning, 59.46 seconds, with only two rivals, Australia’s Sam Williamson and Filip Nowacki of Jersey, also finishing in under a minute.
The three-time Olympic champion is taking part in his fourth Commonwealth Games having clinched his first medals as a 19-year-old in Glasgow in 2014.
Since then he has become a fixture of the gossip columns after marrying Holly Ramsay, daughter of celebrity chef Gordon, in December last year, and experiencing a rift with the majority of his family.

Because not even the off-day can come without some ****** mer Mariners news, Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports that the Mariners are parting ways with ****** istant hitting coach Bobby Magallenes.
Magallanes joined the staff prior to the 2025 season along with hitting coach Kevin Seitzer, both of whom had been unceremoniously fired by Atlanta after the 2024 season when the Braves finished the season 89-73. That mark was good for second place in the AL East, but broke the Braves' streak of six consecutive division ****** les, even though Atlanta still qualified for the playoffs, where they were swept by the Padres in the Wild Card series. It was a surprising move at the time, and looked on with consternation by many Atlanta fans as Seitzer and Magallanes went on to help the 2025 Mariners get deeper into the playoffs than any other Mariners team in history, making it all the way to the ALCS.
But baseball is often a sport of what-have-you-done-for-me-lately, and the Mariners, floundering after a 3-3 homestand against two of the worst teams in the NL, opted to make a move to try to spark some offense. While bold staffing changes is a common mid-season move among teams that are dramatically failing to live up to expectations, it's curious that Seitzer and Magallanes – long regarded as a package deal and sharing a similar hitting philosophy – weren't both let go. The ineptitude of the Mariners offense, last or near the bottom of the list in most offensive categories, is obvious, but like the 2024 Braves, Seattle's lineup has been wracked by injuries that have affected, at least temporarily, basically every member of the Opening Day roster except second baseman Cole Young [knocks on wood, pours salt circle, extends giant protective umbrella over Cole]. Furthermore, the bilingual Magallanes was a popular figure in the clubhouse, known for his "heck yeah, shoot yeah!" exclamation after wins or offensive outbursts; the deeply religious Magallanes was also a faith leader on the staff, something that resonated with hitters and pitchers alike.
While Seitzer preached an overall hitting mindset and approach, Magallanes's role on staff was to be responsible for more of the nuts-and-bolts mechanical adjustments, something Director of Hitting Edgar Martinez (who remains on staff) also focuses on, so the team might be looking for a new voice to fill that particular role and hopefully create some better on-field results.
To do that, they've promoted Ed Paparella, the Mariners' minor-league hitting coordinator, to a major-league role. The Mariners actually signed Paparella back in 2021 as a free agent out of South Alabama, and while he never played professionally, he quickly ascended the ranks of the minor leagues. At 31, Paparella is more than two decades younger than the 56-year-old Magallanes, and three decades younger than Martinez or Seitzer, perhaps providing more of a peer-adjacent perspective for the Mariners and creating some age diversity on the hi

Football agent Enzo Raiola insisted Alessio Romagnoli will not be reinstated at Lazio, while explaining why the transfer to Al-Sadd hit a snag.
Last month, the Biancocelesti agreed to sell the defender to the Qatari giants for €3 million, seemingly ending a soap opera that began in January. However, the saga witnessed another unsavory chapter that saw the player stuck in Rome after encountering unforeseen bureaucratic hurdles.
In his interview with Chiamarsibomber.com, Raiola detailed all the stumbling blocks that have been derailing his client’s move to the Middle East, beginning with the death of the former Emir of Qatar, to the ongoing unrest in the region, which has blocked all transactions related to sports.
First and foremost, the negotiations have slowed down following the death of the former Emir, after which a period of national mourning was declared across the country. On top of that, there is the issue of the war: recently, an oil well in Qatar was attacked. As a result, the ministry responsible for overseeing sport has decided to allocate its resources primarily towards defence, considering it a higher priority than football. Consequently, football has temporarily taken a back seat. The ministry is responsible for providing the budget to be invested in the transfer market, but that step has not yet been taken. As a result, Qatari clubs are currently unable to reach agreements with other clubs. For now, everyone is waiting for the ministry to release the transfer budget.
Raiola thus insists that Al-Sadd still intend to buy Romagnoli, so it remains to be seen if the two clubs can find a way around this plaguing issue.

Coca-Cola (KO) disclosed a ransomware attack suspended Fairlife's U.S. production with no restoration timeline, threatening grocery shelf availability nationwide.

One of the fastest-growing brands in the American dairy aisle just went dark, and a cyberattack is the reason.
In a securities filing on July 16, 2026, Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) disclosed that its Fairlife dairy subsidiary was hit by a ransomware attack that breached its IT systems, including production-related systems. Fairlife's U.S. production operations are "temporarily suspended," though Canadian operations are unaffected. The Fairlife hack is now rippling toward grocery shelves, and the Coca-Cola ransomware disclosure leaves the key question unanswered: when production comes back.
