EVANSTON, Ill. — Against the window seal of David Braun's office conference room at Northwestern, a bronze statue of a man glares toward visitors.
An award Braun won in 2023, the miniature depiction of Bear Bryant, dressed in his trademark suit and a houndstooth hat, is fitting considering the program's upward trajectory and that his offense, under new coordinator Chip Kelly, is showing flashes of yesteryear: the Wing-T, Wishbone and option concepts that Bryant used to claim six national championships at Alabama more than four decades ago.
"You can call them dated. That's not fair," Braun says with a smile. "But creative!"
Life is good here in this northern Chicago suburb.
The 6-1 and 18th-ranked Wildcats are off to their best start since 2012; the fall foliage sweeps across this campus like a painter's brush; the university alignment and athletic investment is as its best since before the tumult around the clumsy handling of the end of the Pat Fitzgerald era; the program opened a more than $850 million new stadium earlier this season; and the offense is an entertaining throwback under one of the sport's most heralded gurus.

Valerie Bertinelli is shrugging off the criticism she received after paying tribute to her late ex-husband, musician Eddie Van Halen.
The actor turned celebrity chef acknowledged the sixth anniversary of Van Halen's death Tuesday by sharing a throwback photo on her social media platforms that showed the pair driving together on a highway.
Buzz: Nick Lachey Says He Ran Into Ex Jessica Simpson On 6.5-Hour Flight
"Photos may fade, like old photos do, but not the memories and never the love," she wrote in the caption.
The snapshot, however, quickly divided Bertinelli's followers, with some questioning why she'd reflect on Van Halen, who died in 2020 at age 65, so fondly. The couple ― who share a son, Wolfgang ― divorced in 2007 after about 26 years of marriage.

The Duke and ***** ss of Sussex appear to be happily settled into the UK, sharing glimpses of their wholesome countryside pursuits, but a fresh video shared by Meghan Markle has included throwbacks to their old life in Montecito.

The Denver Broncos broke out their alternate white helmet for an all-white look in a Monday Night Football clash with the Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 14.
The Broncos are rocking the white helmet with white jerseys, white pants and white socks against their division rival in Week 1. Denver wore that same uniform in a 20-13 win over the Chiefs last Christmas, so it's not surprising to see the team bring it back for their 2026 season opener.
The white-out unhttps://x.com/latronite/st... has received mixed reviews from fans and pundits. Here's a sampling of how Twitter/X reacted to the Broncos' uniform on Monday:
Denver announced its full uniform schedule for the 2026 regular season in August. The Broncos will wear white jerseys nine times, orange jerseys four times, alternate navy twice and throwback blue twice this fall.
Next week, Denver will wear orange jerseys at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2.

In a recent appearance on the Rich Eisen Show, former All-Pro and current Thursday Night Football **** yst Andrew Whitworth said the Denver Broncos are on an upward trajectory heading into 2026
Whitworth acknowledged what could have been in the 2025 Super Bowl, while looking forward to Denver's 2026 season, especially against the Seattle Seahawks, a game which Whitworth will attend as part of the TNF crew.
"That's another one," Whitworth said of the Broncos-Seahawks matchup in Week 6. "I still think that's a game that could have been last year's Super Bowl, but it also could be this year's. Both those teams have the potential to be there again."
The big game against Seattle will be a pivotal one for the Broncos; it is the final game of a brutal six-game opening stretch; however, it will be potentially the best-looking game of the season, as both squads will wear their beautiful throwback uniforms.
Whitworth complimented the Broncos for their moves in the 2026 offseason, showing they can be contenders once again.

Jennifer Garner fully understood the timeless appeal of a LBD when she graced the stage of Late Night with Conan O'Brien during the height of the Noughties.
The Elektra actress took to her Instagram Story on Tuesday to share a throwback video of her appearance on the hit talk show from 2003. Jennifer oozed elegance as she donned a black mini-dress that featured a plunging neckline adorned with a halterneck spaghetti-strap design. The simple garment was crafted from glossy silk and teamed with a pair of matching heels.
Jennifer's toasted almond locks were swept back into a braid while her makeup exuded soft glam with a brown smokey eye, a pinch of blush, and a glossy natural lip. The star opted for '90s minimalism as she refrained from wearing any jewelry.
While on the show, Jennifer playfully corrected the talk show host's grammar with a witty comeback. The duo discussed Jennifer's spy television series Alias and the sneaky skills she learnt from being on set.

The North Carolina Tar Heels will enjoy a week off after their impressive Week 0 win over TCU in Ireland last weekend. With the bye week due to the travel, UNC has an extra week off as they get ready to host East Tennessee State on September 12th.
It's a game that UNC will be a heavy favorite in as they look to start the year 2-0.
While we are still about 10 days from that game, North Carolina's Director of Athletic Grounds & Turf Management revealed that it could be a throwback game for the program. Ryan Anderson took to X to show off North Carolina's new midfield logo, which is a throwback to the 80's era:

Kate Middleton's rare old comments about Prince William and Prince Harry resurfaced as reunion rumors grew after the Duke's UK return. The Princess of Wales once told the royal brothers they were "amazingly close" during a 2017 Heads Together conversation. Her words gained fresh attention because the siblings remain estranged. The report framed the throwback as a reminder of their earlier bond before Harry's 2023 memoir, "Spare," was published and the subsequent years of public distance.
According to **** O!, Kate Middleton sat with Prince William and Prince Harry for Heads Together in 2017. The joint charity campaign focused on mental health. During the conversation, she referenced what the brothers had "sadly went through." She then said their strength came from childhood and "the relationship that you've got." Kate added, "You're amazingly close."
Meanwhile, William responded with a brief joke during the same exchange. He cut in with, "Most of the time!" Kate then stressed that their bond was not common. She told the royal brothers: "Some families sadly aren't as lucky as you guys have been." The report also said William reflected on his and Harry's shared past. He said they were "uniquely bonded" because of what they had been through together.
But the article contrasted those comments with the brothers' current distance. Harry also spoke about the bond in 2005. He said, "It's amazing how close we've become." The Duke added that William was the one person he could talk to "about anything."
However, **** O! noted Harry later described William in "Spare" as both his "beloved brother" and "arch-nemesis." Royal expert Katie Nicholl said the Duke of Sussex's relocation made reconciliation harder to avoid. She claimed Harry had William "over a barrel" because they were now geographically closer. Thus, for Kate, William, and Harry, the old remarks added fresh weight to reunion talk.

CHICAGO — On the last day of June, the flags danced in a stiff wind above Wrigley Field and Moe Mullins arrived more than three hours before first pitch, just like usual. He set up his camping chair under the ash tree at the corner of Waveland and Kenmore, across the street from the back of the left-field bleachers, and the neighborhood slowly came to life.
In time, the street vendors appeared and the merchandise stands opened and the patio at Murphy's, a block away, started to fill in. Soon, the spectators gathered along the brick wall and waited for the bleacher gates to open. For a while, though, it was quiet, and the last refuge of old Wrigley, and its old neighborhood, belonged to Mullins.
He is the unofficial mayor of Waveland and Kenmore avenues, the elder statesman among the characters who give it character. The Chicago Cubs this weekend celebrated their 150th anniversary as a National League member. They've spent 110 of those years at Wrigley, where the corner just beyond left field remains old-school, a small throwback in the middle of ever-expanding change.
The Cubs have bought up many of the nearby buildings. The rooftops are a little less organically charming and a lot more expensive. Trendy bars and restaurants have moved in all over. Even Wrigley's iconic marquee comes with a corporate sponsor, and has for more than a decade.
The corner, though, remains the corner. Lawn chairs. Lifers. Good banter, some of which is even suitable for children. The most prominent ad there is handwritten, for the Gatorade that Dave Davison sells out of a cooler: $3 for Cubs fans and $4 for Cards fans, with the $5 for White Sox fans crossed out and replaced with "stay thirsty."

The Cubs have bought up many of the nearby buildings. The rooftops are a little less organically charming and a lot more expensive. Trendy bars and restaurants have moved in all over. Even Wrigley's iconic marquee comes with a corporate sponsor, and has for more than a decade.
The corner, though, remains the corner. Lawn chairs. Lifers. Good banter, some of which is even suitable for children. The most prominent ad there is handwritten, for the Gatorade that Dave Davison sells out of a cooler: $3 for Cubs fans and $4 for Cards fans, with the $5 for White Sox fans crossed out and replaced with "stay thirsty."

Former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart admits he blew his date with Rihanna because nerves and a lack of confidence got the better of him.
"I wasn't at my best," Matt Leinartsaid on the Dan Patrick Show. "I definitely wasn't at my best that day. We were friends, we hung out a couple times, we had a mutual circle of friends, and her ***** istant and sort of right-hand girl, still to this day I'm friends with, she grew up with one of my best friends, so that was kind of the thing. But yeah, it was a young Matt, not super confident. You thought I would have had a lot of confidence; I didn't, and yeah, so that's that."
Ask Matt Leinart about his infamous date with Rihanna, and he still can't quite believe he's talking about it. "Oh God, are we really going there?" he said.
Back in July 2025, Leinart dropped a bombshell on his podcast, Throwbacks, admitting he once took Rihanna out on a date and completely blew it. So what went wrong? According to him, it all came down to a blister on his lip that showed up on the worst possible day.

Ryan Reynolds just revealed the best kiss of his life, and it's not with Blake Lively or Andrew Garfield. The actor shared a hilarious throwback video on Instagram that proves his most passionate on-screen moment came from the most unexpected partner.
Ryan Reynolds shared a video on Instagram recreating the iconic kiss from The Notebook with Conan O'Brien. Reynolds captioned the post, "The 7th most romantic thing Conan and I have ever done." The video quickly gained over 55,800 likes within hours of posting.
The kiss originally aired on Conan at the end of 2016, parodying the rain scene between Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Reynolds and O'Brien mimicked the passionate moment, though Bravo's The Daily Dish noted it was "a lot more uncomfortable to watch." The clip resurfaced as Reynolds reposted it on Instagram, sparking a fresh wave of fan reactions.
O'Brien previously discussed the kiss during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. He revealed the scene lasted longer than viewers might expect. "It went on for about a minute and 20 seconds to the point where he starts doing stuff to my ear while we're making out," O'Brien said on WWHL. He also praised Reynolds, adding, "He's one of my favorite people. He's an amazing guy."
However, O'Brien's wife, Liza Powel O'Brien, was less enthusiastic about the moment. O'Brien shared her reaction during the same WWHL appearance. "I get home, my wife sees it, and she said, 'That ruined both of you for me,'" O'Brien recalled. He confirmed it was a "true story."

MECHANICSVILLE, Maryland: Lachlan Turner overcame a poor start and charged forward to win her seventh moto of the 2026 season at Budds Creek MX Park in Round 5 of the WMX season.
Turner was well outside the top 10 on the opening lap, but as has been true to form this season, she overcame the disappointing start quickly. She moved into fifth on Lap 1, was third on Lap 2, and took the lead from her principle rival, Charli Cannon, during Lap 4.
From that point on, Turner's victory was uncontested as Turner lengthened the gap in each of the final four laps.
Cannon finished second to keep her perfect streak of top-fives alive and her near perfect record of podium finishes. The winner of Moto 2 in High Point, a victory that also contributed to her overall victory, Cannon has only one result worse than third in nine motos.
In a throwback to the 2025 season when these three riders consistently paced the field, Mikayla Nielsen finished third. She opened the season with a sweep of the podium in the Hangtown Motocross Classic and then had a fuel pump problem in Round 2 at Thunder Valley. Nielsen rebounded to score another podium in Moto 2 that weekend, but struggled since and earned only one more podium in the last four motos.
