Vin Burnham has made a name for herself as a costume designer behind some big Hollywood blockbusters and hits on both the stage and screen.
And her decades-long career has seen her collect a rich seam of stories, including the time she nearly accidentally delayed the filming of a Batman movie.
Burnham helped create the iconic Batsuit worn by Michael Keaton in Tim Burton's Batman, which she later refined for the sequel Batman Returns.
On the very first day of filming Batman, she said she was in the dressing room getting the cowl ready when she mistakenly put her thumb through the front of it.
"There was only one and that is a complete crime," Burnham added.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Oct. 29.
SOURCE: Buccaneers.com
Why it Matters: Mayfield returned to action in Week 7, but he only had to throw 11 times as the Buccaneers cruised to a win. He wasn't posting great numbers prior to the injury, so it wouldn't be wise to expect Mayfield to suddenly start delivering great stat lines. For now, he should be considered a QB2.

Bears' Kyle Monangai gets discouraging injury update ahead of Seahawks clash appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Chicago Bears have a challenging **** ignment in Week 8 when they travel to the Pacific Northwest to take on the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks Monday night. The Seahawks are coming off an impressive 20-3 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in which their defense shut down their previously unbeaten opponent.
The Bears would like all of their top weapons to be functioning at a high level in this game because the Seahawks are so strong defensively. They are the top-ranked team in the league in fewest yards allowed at 233.9 per game, and they are second to the Minnesota Vikings in points allowed at 17.9 per game.
As a result, the Bears would like running back Kyle Monangai back in the lineup. He has missed the last three games with a turf toe injury. Monangai did not practice in Thursday's session with both the turf toe injury and a thumb issue listed as the main problem areas.

Gilberto Mora may have fuelled transfer speculation over a prospective move to Liverpool with his reaction to one supporter over the weekend.
Earlier this month, one Latin American reporter claimed that the Reds have already made an offer for the Mexican wonderkid, understood to be in the region of £38m.
The playmaker – who turned 18 last week – was a breakthrough star at the World Cup over the summer and has already made 75 senior appearances between club (Tijuana) and country.
Mora is currently sidelined with injury but was seen making his way back to the dressing room along with his teammates after their 0-0 draw against Puebla on Saturday.
When one spectator brandishing an LFC shirt excitedly shouted 'Liverpool' at the teenage playmaker, he replied with a thumbs-up gesture, sending the supporter into hysterics.

Prince Harry has reportedly expressed worry about Prince William's plans for Princess Diana. For context, the Duke of Sussex might make a documentary for his mother's 30th death anniversary. Now, as per a source, William has his own plans to pay tribute to the late royal, which hasn't sat well with Harry.
According to RadarOnline, Prince Harry is not happy about Prince William's plans for Princess Diana's 30th death anniversary. The Prince of Wales is reportedly considering posthumously regaining his mother's HRH style. Diana lost her Her Royal Highness style after her divorce from King Charles in 1996.
Amid this, a royal source stated that the Duke of Sussex "is raging because he feels William potentially has a card available to him that he simply cannot play." They continued, "Harry can make a documentary, give interviews and celebrate Diana's humanitarian legacy, but William is the heir to the throne and has a completely different kind of influence within the monarchy."
The source added, "If William can ultimately help restore something that was taken away from their mother, Harry sees that as an incredibly tangible gesture." The insider further noted, "A television program comes and goes, whereas putting HRH Diana back into the historical record would endure." Thus, the Duke allegedly feels this would make "anything he produces look secondary."
This is what annoys Harry, and he doesn't wish remembering his mother "to become some competition between brothers." However, the Duke "also doesn't want to feel that William has outclassed and outdone him with the one tribute Harry could never deliver himself."

WASHINGTON, Sept 14 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's public approval rating rose from a record low, while Americans voiced growing support for Democrats gaining power in the U.S. Congress in a Reuters/Ipsos poll taken in the days after the Republican Party's first-ever midterm convention last week.
The four-day poll showed 63% of Americans - including four in 10 Republicans and nine in 10 Democrats - disapproved of Trump's offer made in his convention speech that he would ensure all Americans get a $5,000 dividend if Republicans retain control of the U.S. Congress in November's midterm elections.
The survey gathered responses from 1,143 Americans nationwide and had a margin of error of 3 percentage points in either direction.
Some 35% of Americans give Trump a thumbs up for his performance in the White House, up from 33% in an August 28 to 31 Reuters/Ipsos poll, the lowest of his political career.

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Tech coach Brent Key said Jaylen Mbakwe was talking and responsive after a scary collision that had him stretchered off the field in the third quarter of the Yellow Jackets' 45-24 loss to No. 18 Tennessee on Saturday night.
Mbakwe collided head-first with Jordan Walker's knee. Walker was carried off the field, unable to put any weight on his leg. Mbakwe lay on the field and appeared motionless for several minutes before giving the crowd a thumbs-up while being stretchered off.
"Everything was moving when they moved him off the field. He was talking, responsive," Key said after the game. 'Obviously, I'm not going to speak anything medically about it, because I don't know."
The defensive back was taken by ambulance to Grady Hospital, located three miles from Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd Stadium.
"As soon as I walk out of here, that's where I'm going — to check on my guy," Key said. "But he was talking, he was moving and whatnot when they carried him off. That's all I know at this point."

The Dallas Cowboys are back! And, of course, it's another start to the season where the Cowboys roll into MetLife Stadium to take on the New York Giants. The Giants have many questions heading into the 2026 season with a whole new coaching staff after a season where they managed to win only four games. Let's break it down then get to some predictions.
Expect the Giants to make the running game the starting point of their new offense. John Harbaugh has brought in coaches with a history of building physical rushing attacks, while fullback Patrick Ricard and first-round offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa were added to help them play that way. Cam Skattebo gives them a powerful runner, but quarterback Jaxson Dart is just as important. Dart rushed for 487 yards and nine touchdowns as a rookie, so Dallas cannot simply chase the running back and forget about the quarterback.
The biggest opportunity for New York comes when Dallas starts worrying too much about the run. The Cowboys allowed 4,735 passing yards and 31 passing touchdowns last season, and Dart finished the year by completing 22 of 32 passes for 230 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in a 34-17 win over Dallas.
If Malik Nabers is cleared to play following his ACL recovery, his matchup against the Dallas secondary becomes even more important, although his Week 1 availability remains uncertain. The Giants' route to victory is to keep Dallas guessing with the running game and Skattebo, use Dart as a runner, then attack downfield when the Cowboys bring extra defenders toward the line.
Dallas should make New York prove immediately that its run defense has improved. The Giants surrendered 2,470 rushing yards last season, while Javonte Williams ran for 1,201 yards and scored 11 rushing touchdowns for Dallas. Running the football also has another benefit this week because the Cowboys will be without All-Pro guard Tyler Smith following thumb surgery. T.J. Bass will replace him, so giving the offensive line manageable situations rather than asking it to pass protect on every play makes sense.

A week after Nick Saban and Pat McAfee practically did an infomercial for the Protect College Sports Act during College GameDay, one of the bill's co-sponsors, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), was given the chance to make a full-throated defense of the bill and why it needed to be passed by the Senate and House, with Cruz previously saying that if passed, President Donald Trump would sign it into law on a future episode of ESPN's flagship college football show.
Even by the standards of College GameDay, which has been known to put its thumb on the scale when it wanted, this whole affair has been wildly inappropriate. It's one thing for Kirk Herbstreit to chastise football players for opting out of meaningless bowl games; it's another thing for the show to put its full weight behind a Congressional bill without providing ample time to those proponents and opponents, especially when those who oppose the bill do so on the grounds that it will negatively impact the earning ability of the athletes who make the sport work.
However, it helps you understand this all-out blitz when you realize where ESPN's parent company is putting its money.
Joedy McCreary at OpenSecrets recently laid out the fight surrounding the PCSA, spelling out which entities are pushing for it and which are pushing back.
Per McCreary, several major broadcasting and cable companies are putting their money where their mouth is. The National ****** ociation of Broadcasters (NAB) and NCTA – the Internet and Television ****** ociation lobbied for the legislation. Amazon, Paramount Skydance, and Disney (which owns ESPN) listed the college sports measure among the dozens of bills they worked on between April 1 and June 30.

A massive brawl has erupted at ADCC 2026, involving Dorian Olivarez and his famous teammate and coach, Gordon Ryan.
One of the 66 kg tournament favorites in Olivarez finished Bezkat Kapashov in the opening round of a Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) match that was extra chippy and physical. Tensions flared immediately after the submission, with a pretty large Kazakh team contingent confronting Olivarez and his cornermen.
Things quickly escalated to a pretty sizable brawl involving Ryan, Olivarez and the Kapashov's entire team. Ryan was eventually seen on the ground and taking punches while going against three men in a chaotic scene.
ADCC officials eventually pulled people off him to de-escalate the situation, and the scuffle was eventually diffused after a minute. Fortunately, no one seemed to have been seriously hurt.
Olivarez will be able to continue onto the next round. Ryan was seen throwing a thumbs up towards officials as he just immediately went back to his chair on the next mat, as one of his many teammates on the card was still competing.

After examining the Jacksonville Jaguars' final injury report of Week 1, where do the Cleveland Browns stand health-wise entering this game?
On Friday afternoon, the Browns ruled out guard Teven Jenkins (back) and listed center Parker Brailsford (thumb) as questionable.
Jenkins made four starts last year in his first season with Cleveland and was slated to start at right guard in 2026. Expected to start in Jenkins' place is rookie Austin Barber -- a third-round pick by the Browns.
Andrew Harbaugh of Browns Wire recently provided some insight into what Barber can bring to the Browns' offensive line unit:
"Barber didn't play guard at Florida, so it's a new position for him after logging 2,087 snaps at left tackle and 490 snaps at right tackle during his time with the Gators," wrote Harbaugh. "He brings a nasty temperament to the run game, looking to finish guys by blocking them into the dirt."

Nuno Espirito Santo says the atmosphere at the London Stadium is a big advantage to West Ham after his team's thumping win over Wrexham.
A crowd of 59,712 watched the Hammers beat the Welsh side 6-0 as they returned to the top of the Championship.
Head coach Nuno said Friday's result was not any kind of statement or marker, but he did think playing in front of such a big crowd in the second tier was a plus for his players.
"We just focus on ourselves and realise London Stadium is a big strength that we have, to try to take advantage of 60,000 fans who give us so much that we have to try to give back," he told BBC Radio London.
The stadium atmosphere has come under scrutiny, with distance between the pitch and the stands being very different to the cramped, hostile surroundings of their old Upton Park ground.

The Dallas Cowboys are dealing with a significant offensive line issue just days before their 2026 season opener. Tyler Smith, Dallas Cowboys' three-time Pro Bowl left guard and a cornerstone of their offensive line since being selected 24th overall in the 2022 draft, is headed to injured reserve.
Even though T.J. Bass is a more probable replacement, it has also opened the door for veteran offensive lineman Laken Tomlinson to protect quarterback Dak Prescott and fill the gap.

Tyler Smith had been dealing with a thumb issue since the offseason. He reported the problem to head coach Brian Schottenheimer but initially tried to play through it. On Monday, Schottenheimer informed the media that Smith would undergo surgery on the thumb and is expected to miss 4 to 6 weeks. The team could not pinpoint exactly when the injury occurred. With the season opener against the New York Giants scheduled for September 13 at MetLife Stadium, the Cowboys moved quickly to address the depth issue.

Tyler Smith, Dallas Cowboys' three-time Pro Bowl left guard and a cornerstone of their offensive line since being selected 24th overall in the 2022 draft, is headed to injured reserve.

Tyler Smith had been dealing with a thumb issue since the offseason. He reported the problem to head coach Brian Schottenheimer but initially tried to play through it. On Monday, Schottenheimer informed the media that Smith would undergo surgery on the thumb and is expected to miss 4 to 6 weeks. The team could not pinpoint exactly when the injury occurred. With the season opener against the New York Giants scheduled for September 13 at MetLife Stadium, the Cowboys moved quickly to address the depth issue.

NEW YORK — As the freshly-promoted Anthony Volpe settled into a new locker inside the Yankees' clubhouse on Thursday, he said that he felt as if he had been in a "bubble" at Triple-A.
Not because he was stuck in the minors, but because he was focused on trying to improve his game. Volpe said he was so locked in that he didn't even realize Jazz Chisholm Jr. sprained his thumb on Tuesday until RailRiders manager Shelley Duncan told him.
"I wanted to get a lot out of it," Volpe, recalled on Thursday after Chisholm was placed on the 10-day injured list, said of Triple-A. "You have a game every night to try out different stuff and feel what works and feel like it's going to translate in case an opportunity like this comes. So there was just a lot of trial and error."
On Thursday, however, Volpe only found results, going 3 for 4 with a grand slam that broke open the Yankees' series-sweeping, 10-3 win over the Rockies. The seventh-inning blast earned the New York native a curtain call from a crowd that has booed him plenty over the last few years.
Volpe, batting ninth, also had an RBI single and a stolen base on Thursday. He didn't make an error while starting at second base for the first time as a big leaguer, either.

Florida A&M football has been forced to make a quarterback change after starter Isaiah Knowles was ruled out for the season with a thumb injury.
Backup Dustin Fletcher led the Rattler offense on the field for their first possession against the Miami Hurricanes on Thursday, Sept. 10, for a Week 2 "money game" at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
Fletcher replaces Knowles, who left Sept. 6's 31-13 Orange Blossom Classic loss against the third quarter after hurting his right throwing hand after taking a hit from a South Carolina State defender. Fletcher subbed in and completed 6-of-8 passes for 68 yards.
And now, he's responsible for operating head coach Quinn Fordham Gray Sr.'s offense against the defending College Football Playoff runners-up and No. 7-ranked team in the USA TODAY top 25.
Fletcher transferred to the Rattlers from The Citadel.

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers (thumb) was limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 10.
SOURCE: Jaguars.com
Why It Matters: Meyers should have a good chance to play in Week 1, but fantasy players will know more after the last practice of the week. He has played very well since joining the Jaguars in the middle of last season and can be a No. 3 receiver or flex option this week if he plays.

NEW YORK – Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s sprained right thumb was in a soft cast Thursday, two days into a period of no baseball activity for 7-10 days.
But the Yankees' left-hitting second baseman expects to return before the regular season ends.
"I'm confident in my healing abilities,'' Chisholm said a few hours before Thursday night's game against Colorado, with Anthony Volpe inserted at second base.
Manager Aaron Boone repeated that his choice at second base would be a daily decision between Volpe and Jose Caballero – a situation that mirrors the Yanks' first-half shortstop dilemma.
But the rookie George Lombard Jr. is entrenched now at short.

The Browns may have to make a change to their planned offensive line for Sunday's opener in Jacksonville.
Right guard Teven Jenkins missed Thursday's practice with a back injury. Jenkins, who played in every game and made four starts for Cleveland last season, was listed as limited after leaving Wednesday's practice early.
If Jenkins can't play, third-round pick Austin Barber will be in line to get the start against the Jaguars.
The Browns' injury report was otherwise unchanged from Wednesday. Center Parker Brailsford (thumb) and defensive tackle Maliek Collins (quad) were limited participants while linebacker Carson Schwesinger (shoulder) was a full participant for the second straight day.

It is Week 1, and the last thing I want to do is incite panic among a group of fantasy football managers who have been waiting all offseason for this moment. We drafted these teams, talked ourselves into these players and have been waiting for real football to finally get here. The last thing you want to hear before setting your first lineup is somebody telling you to worry about one of the players you drafted.

But think about it this way. There are some legitimate concerns heading into Week 1, and I would much rather know about those concerns now and set my expectations accordingly than find out when the games start. So these are panics, but they are loose panics. We are not burying anybody before the season starts. This is simply about identifying where there may be a little more risk than we anticipated when we drafted these players.
Let's start with Dak Prescott because this one caught my attention immediately. Tyler Smith is going to have surgery on his thumb and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks. Smith is one of the best guards in football, and Dallas is going to open the season against the Giants, Commanders, Ravens and Texans without arguably the best player on its offensive line.
Then, you look at the rest of that offensive line and there are reasons to be concerned. Terence Steele allowed 52 pressures last season, which is not good, and now T.J. Bass is being asked to step into Smith's spot. Dallas has some difficult defensive fronts coming up early, so I understand why people may look at this situation and wonder whether Dak should be downgraded.

Earnings season refuses to end. While others may have had enough, earnings reports are my lifeblood! Well, that and 1,500 milligrams of caffeine a day.
I'm glad earnings season rages on because it gives us the very latest insights on all things AI. This is super helpful information as I embark for the Super Bowl of tech conferences: the Goldman Sachs Communacopia tech gathering. More on that in a moment.
The past two weeks have been bonkers for the AI investment thesis. Any talk about peak AI needs to be tossed aside.
Broadcom's (AVGO) revenue surged 86% year over year in its most recent quarter. Adjusted earnings per share exploded 96%. Both metrics easily thumped ***** yst estimates.
The massive outperformance was fueled by relentless hyperscaler demand for custom AI chips and networking gear, with quarterly AI semiconductor revenue alone tripling to $16.7 billion.

Dallas Cowboys left guard Tyler Smith is scheduled to undergo thumb surgery Tuesday and will be placed on injured reserve, the team announced Sunday. A pro bowler each of the last three years, Smith is set to miss the first four weeks of the season, at least, and potentially more after head coach Brian Schottenheimer put his timeline at 4-6 weeks.
It's a tough break for a Cowboys offensive line looking to take another step forward in 2026 after paving the way for a top-10 rushing offense last season. With questions still remaining at right tackle, Smith's absence makes the line significantly weaker and changes the fantasy outlook for starting running back Javonte Williams.
One of the breakout fantasy stars of 2025, Williams won't find it easy repeating last year's 1,200-yard campaign and 4.8 yards per carry with Smith out.
Depending how Smith's backup performs in pass protection, this injury could also have an impact on Dak Prescott and his pass catchers after Dallas' line allowed the ninth-fewest sacks in 2025. But as a guard, Smith's impact begins in the rushing attack.
On the bright side, the pro bowler who only missed one game last season will return at some point. So any dip in fantasy value for Williams and others should only be temporary.

If Washington is going to succeed, Demond Williams needs to have a high usage rate as both a passer and runner. He is at his best when he's on the move, and the Huskies are as well. That's my primary takeaway from Washington's frustrating, but earned, season-opening Apple Cup victory.
On the one hand, Washington's performance for most of the afternoon was frustrating because it looked as lethargic as it had at times in the previous two seasons. On the other hand, if you watched other Week 1 games, there were a handful of victorious teams that looked stuck in the mud. None of which battled their in-state rival.
There's a reason Nick Saban referred to headlines as rat poison. Washington was highly regarded throughout the offseason. It kicked off the season with a shiny No. 17 next to its name and is led by a quarterback who many believe could be a Heisman Trophy finalist. Overall, the consensus is that Washington is the popular pick to be 2027's sleeper team. Those elements added to the discomfort of UW's slow start.
Though it eventually gave up a touchdown in the fourth quarter, Washington's defense was sensational. It shot itself in the foot by picking up unnecessary penalties, but overall it was dominant. Defensive backs Jeron Jones and Alex McLaughlin both logged interceptions while Isaiah Ward forced a fumble, then recovered it. Washington would've had four takeaways, but Rylon Dillard-Allen picked up a questionable targeting penalty after thumping Wazzu quarterback Caden Pinnick.
Speaking of penalties, UW must be better in that area, without question. Washington racked up 130 penalty yards to Wazzu's 50. Washington had 12 fewer penalty yards than Pinnick had passing.

The Oklahoma Sooners started the 2026 college football season with a dominant performance against the University of Texas at El Paso Miners. The Sooners showcased dominant performances on offense and defense, winning 51-0.
One of the stars of the night was quarterback John Mateer. He looked really good in the game, completing 11-of-17 passes for 225 yards and three scores with no interceptions. Mateer is coming off an up-and-down season in 2025 in which he injured his thumb early in the season. But on Friday he looked healthy and showcased why Oklahoma was so high on him last season.
Mateer spoke about his performance in his postgame press conference.
"I thought it was pretty clean," Mateer said via Oklahoma's Own. "There are a couple of plays that you want back, obviously. I threw a little stop route to Trell (Harris) into the ground on a forced RPO there. Overall it was clean, and I thought the guys played really well."
That ****** sment fits the night. Mateer was not perfect, but he avoided the costly mistakes that hurt Oklahoma at times last season and consistently connected on explosive plays. The UTEP game was an ideal way for Mateer to begin his final season at Oklahoma.
