Panthers news: Jalen **** er injury update is good news after Week 1 appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Jalen **** er gave Carolina Panthers fans a scare after his monster Week 1 performance, but his initial injury update sounds encouraging.
Coker told reporters Monday that he rolled his ankle during the first quarter of Sunday's 59-37 loss to the Chicago Bears but expects to practice Wednesday.
That's tremendous news considering **** er somehow played through the injury and proceeded to torch Chicago's secondary.
The third-year receiver caught eight of his nine targets for a career-high 138 yards and two touchdowns, including a 51-yard score from Bryce Young. It was also the first multi-touchdown performance of **** er's career.

As you know, football fans from every team, whether they're emotionally stable after a game or not, can grab a keyboard or camera and share their feelings with the world. That's bad news this Monday, after the first Sunday of the NFL season, for Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur and the officials who called the Vikings-Packers stunner in Minneapolis.
The Vikings trailed 22-10 before scoring 29 unanswered points in a 39-22 victory. LaFleur is getting torched by the fan base because second-half collapses have become a trend since last December, and the officials are taking heat after calling 13 penalties on the Packers and only three on the Vikings.
The purpose of this article isn't to break down whether the refs got it right or wrong. We did that right here. We're just here today to showcase some of the most unhinged Packers fan reactions. Enjoy!
Annie Agar, one of the more famous Packers fans, wants everyone fired and the refs "thrown in jail." It's satire, of course, but her angry reaction reflects how most Packers fans feel.
"Without the freak turnovers and terrible reffing – which might have been intentional punishment for knocking out Kyler Murray, this team smokes the Vikings 99 times out of 100," a Reddit user who goes by DrLuny wrote.

The Heisman Trophy got a lot more interesting this weekend when Arch Manning led Texas to a 20-point fourth quarter comeback over Jeremiah Smith and #1 Ohio State. Both players crack the top three this week and we have two drop outs from the top 10 — one as you can guess is Dante Moore after the Oregon Ducks lost at Oklahoma State as three touchdowns favorites! Heisman Trophy odds are courtesy of DraftKings. Let's get started!
1. Darian Mensah, Miami Hurricanes (+550)
2026 Stats: 653 pass yards | 8 pass TDs | 91.1 comp% | 0 INTs
Last Game: 252 pass yards | 3 pass TDs | 93.3 comp% | 0 INTs
Next Game: At Wake Forest — Friday at 7:30 PM ET
Darian Mensah and Miami torched Florida A&M into a burnt crisp. The Hurricanes offense posted a school-record 856 yards and that comes with five minutes being shaved off the fourth quarter. Mensah didn't play the second half and sat the fourth against Stanford, so he has eight touchdowns and 653 yards through five quarters of action. Wake Forest is next on the schedule and they just allowed Purdue to throw for 329 yards and a touchdown on 32-of-42 passing.
2. Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State Buckeyes (+700)
2026 Stats: 16 rec | 315 yards | 3 total TDs | 19.7 ypc
Last Game: 8 rec | 164 yards | 1 TD | 20.5 ypc
Next Game: Vs Kent State — Saturday at 12:00 PM ET
Texas may have won the game, but Jeremiah Smith won the night! Smith had an extraordinary stat line for a top five matchup. He caught eight passes for 164 yards and a touchdown. Smith could have easily had 200-plus yards and three touchdowns if he and Julian Sayin could have connected on two tough contested catches in the end zone.

Victor Wembanyama has a gargantuan task ahead of him as he looks to bring the San Antonio Spurs back to basketball glory. He is entering his fourth season, and so far, he has done a good job.
Most recently, he willed the Spurs to an NBA Finals appearance, although they ultimately lost to the New York Knicks. The 2026 season marked the first time since 2019 that the Spurs made the playoffs, and they went all the way to the NBA Finals.
On a personal level, expectations are also high. Many believe Wembanyama can go down as one of the best players ever to grace the NBA. So far, he is exceeding the lofty standards set for him. He won the 2026 Defensive Player of the Year award unanimously and was named to the All-NBA First Team. He also came close to winning the Most Valuable Player award.
All eyes are on Wemby as he steps into greatness.
A member of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team is also closely watching his development, believing the French star is carrying the torch for the next generation.

Victor Wembanyama gets a big shout-out from French UFC fighter Ciryl Gane originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Over the past decade, it has become clear that basketball is one of the biggest sports in the world. The rise of international players is a testament to this because there has not been an American regular-season MVP since James Harden's MVP in 2018.
Players like Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Giannis Antetokounmpo have been dominant as non-American players. However, it seems San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama is ready to carry the torch moving forward as the best player to come out of France, a country that's well-known for producing some elite athletes.
As the current UFC interim heavyweight champion, Ciryl Gane knows what it's like to succeed. He is, in fact, a two-time holder of that **** le, so he is quite successful in his mixed martial arts career. The orthodox heavyweight striker stands out in the UFC with his natural talent and light feet despite being a 6'4" fighter.
Just like Gane, Wembanyama shares some traits with his fellow Frenchman. Being a giant who can move light on their feet is certainly a good trait to have, but it matters the most in a sport like basketball.

The torch has officially been passed. The glorious era of the Allen family's ownership of the Seattle Seahawks has officially come to an end. In the week leading up to the season opener, ownership transferred from the Paul Allen estate to the Khosla family. This was inevitable following the NFL's approval in late August of the record $9.6 billion dollar sale Vinod Khosla put forth.
Now, Vinod and his family are in charge of the Seahawks. Vinod himself carries the ****** le of Chair of the Seahawks. His wife Neeru Khosla is now designated as the Controlling Owner of the Seahawks, and President of their Charitable Foundation. Their son, Neal Khosla, is the Vice Chair of the Seahawks.
But we at Seahawks Wire would be remiss if we did not acknowledge the legacy of Paul and Jody Allen, and what they gave to both the Seahawks franchise and the Pacific Northwest. Under their leadership, they helped transform the Seahawks into a national, championship caliber brand. Paul saved the city from being relocated to the Los Angeles area under the previous ownership of Ken Behring. Part of his purchase agreement included the Washington state legislature to hold a statewide referendum on funding a new stadium, which passed, paving the way for the iconic Lumen Field.
Paul Allen transformed a middling NFL franchise into one of the NFL's more recognizable teams. Seattle went from having only one division ****** le and four playoff appearances to nine division ****** les, three conference championships and the franchise's first Lombardi. As we at Seahawks Wire wrote in an article regarding the sale of the team back in late January of this year:
"His (Paul Allen's) death in 2018 shook the city and the 12's, as he represented the best kind of owner any fan would want for their team."

USC debuted its latest concession stand item, which could take over the College Football landscape: the Trojan Beer Sword.
The item is meant to consume its namesake, letting fans pour their beer of choice into the top and fill it up.
It has a red plastic handle with a vertical sword grip, while the "blade" is a clear plastic tube that looks quite long and features the infamous USC logo.
Rather than the top of the sword being round, it is shaved off to be quite pointy, allowing the drinker to put their mouth on the tip and tilt it up for easy consumption.

When next the Tennessee ******* ans take the field, it'll matter. For now, it's wait-and-see time at the bottom of the roster.
Led once again by the reliable leg of kicker Joey Slye and not much else, the ******* ans completed the 2026 NFL preseason with a 24-15 loss against the Chicago Bears on Aug. 29. Now it's time for the sprint to the start of the regular season. NFL active rosters must be cut down to 53 players by 5 p.m. CT on Aug. 30, meaning the ******* ans will have to sever ties, at least temporarily, with 38 players before rebuilding a practice squad of up to 17 players on Aug. 31.
The ******* ans rested most all of their starters in this one, a departure from coach Robert Saleh's strategy in the first two weeks of the preseason. The only projected starters who played on offense were rookies Carnell Tate, who only took three snaps, and Fernando Carmona Jr. On defense, contributors like Cedric Gray, Jacob Martin, Marcus Harris and Jordan Elliott played intermittently in the first quarter.
Quarterback Will Levis led the ******* ans' offense throughout the first half, finishing his day 14-for-22 passing with 143 yards. Bears starter Tyson Bagent continued the trend of backup quarterbacks torching the ******* ans' defense in the first half of preseason games, completing 16 of 17 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns, including a 97-yard score on his first play from scrimmage.
Slye made 11 field goals across three preseason games, the most by any kicker in any preseason since Graham Gano in 2016. Counting preseason games and training camp practices that media have been able to view, Slye has made 36 consecutive field goals.

Kei Nishikori's final appearance at Flushing Meadows ended this week, as the ******* anese star fell 6-4, 7-6(3) to countryman Rei Sakamoto, ranked 157th, in the third round of US Open qualifying.
"I couldn't play my best today," Nishikori said after the match.
It's a familiar refrain for the 36-year-old, who has struggled for several years to find consistent form while battling injuries. Still, he remained gracious in defeat.
"I'm sure he had more than me. I had zero pressure coming into today's match," Nishikori said, as reported by Tennis Panorama. "I was really excited to play Rei. I know him for a long time, and we practiced together a lot in IMG."
Nishikori credited Sakamoto's speed and hard serve for disrupting his rhythm throughout the match. While it wasn't the ending he envisioned, the loss doubled as a passing-of-the-torch moment, with Nishikori falling to the current third ranked ******* anese player.

Deshaun Watson holds the Cleveland Browns' starting job heading into Week 1, with Shedeur Sanders locked in behind him as the No. 2. As both sat out the preseason finale, forgotten options Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green got the chance to play against the New England Patriots.
And they made the best use of the opportunity to torch New England on Thursday night. Their solid display puts real pressure on Coach Prime's son.
Gabriel played the entire first half and put up great numbers. He went 12-of-15 for 186 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. He connected with Luke Floriea for two scores, starting with a 6-yard touchdown pass early on, and also completed big gains of 52 and 29 yards.
Green took over for the second half and led a long, 98-yard touchdown drive. He leaned heavily on his elite running ability, which matches his 4.36-second 40-yard dash from the combine. Backed by their strong performances, the Browns secured a convincing 37-13 victory.
Dillon Gabriel ready to start a play at the Browns OTA camp in Berea on May 20, 2026.

Week 0 has arrived, meaning Tennessee hits the field in just one week. The Volunteers will kickoff the Faizon Brandon era against Furman in a tune up game before things start to get real in two weeks down in Atlanta. Tennessee is a sleeper team according to most, taking a backseat to teams like Georgia, Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama, LSU and Ole Miss.
Can the Volunteers force their way into the SEC picture and perhaps make a run at the College Football Playoff? If that's in the cards, they'll have to find answers to these four questions.
The 5-star freshman ran away with the job in fall camp, now it's time to see just how good he can be right off the bat. There's no doubt about his long-term upside under Josh Heupel, but what about the right now? Brandon was praised for making plays down the field in scrimmages, and his athleticism will bring a new element to the RPO and maybe even option game.
It's going to come down to the little things though. The right checks, the right reads, getting through those reads quickly enough and keeping the offensive tempo when Heupel wants to operate with pace. Brandon is sure to make some freshman mistakes, that just comes with the territory. Can he make enough big plays down the field to keep defenses honest and the focus off of DeSean Bishop and the ground game? That's the key to me.
Tennessee's defensive line room has completely transformed in the past couple of seasons after having a bunch of veterans exit the program. It's going to be a new look for Garner's group in 2026, with no more Eason, Moi, Bailey or Josephs to lean on. The torch is being passed to guys like Xavier Gilliam, Nathan Robinson, Tyree Weathersby, Isaiah Campbell, Ethan Utley and several more. Veteran Daevin Hobbs is expected to lead the group and needs to take a big jump.

Megyn Kelly is not mincing words when it comes to how she feels about Melissa Gilbert.
During the Wednesday, August 26, episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, the 55-year-old political commentator blasted the Little House on the Prairie alum, 62, for writing a Substack essay following Hayden Panettiere's death calling for protection of child stars.
Gilbert's husband, Timothy Busfield, is currently facing charges of criminal **** ual contact of a minor under the age of 13, and he has been accused by multiple people of **** ual misconduct.
Busfield, 69, has denied all the allegations against him.
"Got some thoughts on Melissa Gilbert trying to rush into the Hayden Panettiere story with her torch, talking about how we really need to protect young women in Hollywood," Kelly began. "Tell it to your pervert husband. This is unbelievable."

Los Angeles' Democratic mayoral candidates were torched by residents after a debate night in America's second-most populous city that one voter described as "disgraceful."
Besides being home to Hollywood, Los Angeles is one of America's most economically important cities. The city, however, has struggled with recent fires, rising living costs, homelessness and outmigration. Those problems have fueled a particularly contentious mayoral race this year, which included a surprisingly competitive but ultimately unsuccessful bid by Republican Spencer Pratt.
With Pratt out of the race, Democrats Karen Bass, the incumbent, and Nithya Raman, a democratic socialist city council member, are locked in a competitive and bitter runoff for Los Angeles mayor. During last week's debate, Bass and Raman traded personal attacks and insults, leaving some voters frustrated over what solutions the candidates could offer.
After the debate, voter Stacey Segarra Bohlinger told Fox News Digital she believes Bass and Raman are "both bad" and said, "I wish they could both lose."

Even ***** ytical fans can be overcome with emotions. The last ten days have been brutal. If we remove the opener of the Mariners series, we saw the Astros got a combined 2-6 in the span of eight days. That was against a collection of teams where they probably were hoping for a 6-2 run. They blew late leads, the offense sputtered at times, and the starting pitching continued to struggle to get through the fifth inning. Even the normally reliable Yordan Alvarez seemed to hit a snag throughout much of the run.
I hate to boil things down to simple math, but this is usually where my brain goes. There are essentially six months in a baseball season. It's obviously grossly simplified to ***** ume four weeks in a month, but we could probably add one week in there to account for the extra days. That means there are 25 weeks in a season. The last homestand accounts for slightly more than a week's worth of games. 162 divided by nine equals 18. 18 is a nice round number.
To put this in perspective for most Houston fans, 18 essentially corresponds to the number of weeks in an NFL season. So, imagine if the Texans' offense failed to show up for a particular game. I know that's not hard to imagine. Imagine if they had held a lead into the fourth quarter and squandered it. Imagine if their defense simply got torched on a particular Sunday. What would the conversation be like?
Obviously, the conversation would likely depend on when that particular loss occurred. If it occurred in a random regular season game in October it would likely be a cause for concern, but no one would be quitting on the season quite yet. If it were the opening week of the season there would be some doom and gloom, but most people would realize it was just one game in a long schedule. If it occurred in January then obviously the season would be over.
This is where we find ourselves as Astros fans. We have experienced one terrible week of baseball. They have had worse this season. It doesn't seem like it but the first road trip was an unmitigated disaster. There have been stretches at home that have looked just as awful. So, the key to sound ***** ysis is to take a step back and keep a level head about these things.

MINERAL RIDGE, Ohio (WKBN) – Proving that the program's standard of excellence is built to last, McDonald flexed their muscles in a commanding season-opening 44-0 victory over Valley Christian.
For a program that rewrote the history books as a state semifinalist last season, Saturday's showcase was a terrifying reminder to opponents of McDonald's depth and explosive talent.
By routing the Eagles, the Blue Devils successfully extended their active regular season winning streak to 12 consecutive games, safely carrying the torch passed on by last year's historic senior class.
McDonald moved the ball quickly on their opening possession. Preston VanMeter (9 yards) and Dom Sampson (11) started the drive with two big running plays to gain early yardage.

For those who have covered or watched KC Concepcion over the last three years, his breakout moments for the Cleveland Browns in the NFL preseason have come as no surprise.
From being named the ACC's Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2024 to dominating the SEC and helping lead the Aggies to the College Football Playoff last season, the sky was always the limit for Concepcion. After becoming the first Texas A&M wide receiver selected in the first round of the NFL Draft since Mike Evans was taken by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2014, the former Aggie has flashed on and off the field.
According to NFL writer Zac Jackson, Concepcion was named the MVP of the Browns-Bills joint practice on Thursday for his outstanding performance.
Concepcion's highlights torching defensive backs are outstanding, but his ability as a punt returner and specialist doesn't get enough attention. The former Texas A&M wideout had a massive 31-yard punt return in Cleveland's preseason loss to the Bears, which could've ended with Concepcion in the end zone if he didn't run into the turf monster.
During the offseason, the topic of conversation surrounding the Browns' franchise has been focused on the quarterback situation. Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel are all competing for the starting spot, but none of them have impressed. The inconsistency and unknowns have caused doom and gloom for most Cleveland fans, but Concepcion's shine has helped brighten their spirits a bit.

It doesn't take much for Bailey Ettridge to put things in perspective for himself while living out a dream and competing for a starting spot on Oregon football's makeshift practice fields outside the Ducks' in-progress state-of-the-art indoor practice facility aside Autzen Stadium.
Not even two years ago, the 28-year-old transfer punter was doing that same work in Australia — using torches and plasma cutters to size metal pieces, joining metals and doing various other construction work — though not on any projects of quite that scale.
"When I look out there, I'm like, I could still be doing that in Australia," Ettridge said. "I'm here on the other side, watching them do it, playing football."
One year ago, Ettridge had never played in front a crowd of over 500, had never played in a college football game and until halfway through 2025, had not truly considered punting in America as wholly viable.
The Geelong, Australia-born Ettridge had been playing Australia rules football since he was 5 years old and started work in construction at the age of 16.

Following Newcastle United losing to Strasbourg on penalties, I played up to the Geordie stereotype by comfort eating a Greggs (Chicken Bake in case you were wondering) and reflected on the previous two hours I'd spent seeing the start of the NUFC Matthias Jaissle Era for myself.
Many questions swirled around my head such as 'Is Dan Burn the right man to captain the club?' and…
'How long will we be able to hold on to Sean Steur for?'
But the one that hit me hardest was 'Is this the worst Premier League pre-season the club has had in recent memory?'
Now before you all grab your pitchforks and torches ready to hang draw and quarter me for yet ANOTHER doomsayer post about Newcastle United before a ball has even kicked, I want to preface this by saying that the 2025/26 season wasn't a truly awful season. Yes there were terrible moments like the poor league finish, the whimpering exit in the Champions League and the crème de la crème of Geordie humiliation in the double derby loss – but objectively, there were also a few positives such as yet another fantastic league cup run with our third semi-final appearance in four seasons.

It's official: Sadie Sink is Jean Grey. After debuting her version of the Marvel superhero in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the actor made her first appearance representing the role with her new X-Men cast mates. And for the grand reveal—made at the D23 Disney fan event in Los Angeles—she wore an intricate archival gown from Alexander McQueen's theatrical Spring/Summer 2004 show.

The show in question was a high-fashion spin on Sydney Pollack's They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, a 1969 psychological drama that, based on Horace McCoy's 1935 novel, followed contestants desperate to win a Depression-era dance marathon. The faux competition, held during Paris Fashion Week over two decades ago, saw silver sequins, feather skirts, silk minidresses, and, towards the end, a pastel patchwork gown. Now seen on the Stranger Things star, the piece featured a V neckline and ruffled drop-waist skirt—all with a stained glass-inspired print of flowers and dragon flies.
Sink, who was passed the telekinetic torch from Sophie Turner, worked with stylist Molly ****** son on the look. Together, they paired the gown with Anita Ko jewelry and high cap-toe pumps.

After missing the 100 freestyle world record by the smallest margin in swimming last night, Kate Douglass broke the 50m freestyle world record in prelims Saturday morning, and she crushed it.
Touching in 23.49, Douglass torched through 50 meters from the moment she left the blocks.
Douglass' swim marks the latest swing in a world record that's changed hands between Douglass and training partner Gretchen Walsh all summer long. The two former Virginia standouts have been trading the fastest 50 free in history back since Douglass first broke the record in June.
Walsh had the record most recently, and now it's back with Douglass, fueling a rivalry between the two training partners that has quietly become one of the most compelling storylines in the sport this year.
The swim adds an extraordinary week for Douglass at Pan Pacs. She opened the meet with a silver medal in the 50 **** erfly, then teamed up with Walsh, Van Mathias and Will Modglin to break the world record in the mixed 4x100 medley relay that same night.

The NCAA is losing in court left and right. They come up with a new rule they are so sure will work, and then it gets struck down again and again. The latest big case comes to us from right here in the Bluegrass, where several former student-athletes are seeking a 5th year now that the NCAA has approved the five-in-five model. One of those athletes is former Missouri Tiger Mark Mitchell.
Mitchell loved playing against Kentucky, he averaged 25 points and 5 rebounds across 3 games against the Cats in the last two years. But there was a time before he was torching the Cats that he wanted to be one.
A video circulating on social media shows a young Mark Mitchell call Kansas "overrated," and when asked if Kentucky was the best school, "Yeah, Kentucky is the best."
As you can tell from the shirts in the video, this was at a Chris Paul middle school combine. But the sentiment is there. Mitchell has always wanted to be a Cat, and now, thanks to the NCAA's poor run of luck, Mitchell might finally get that chance.
Mitchell's case is being heard in Louisville, where Jefferson County Judge Brian C. Edwards is set to review information through Tuesday and then make a ruling by the end of next week.

Following the Indiana Fever's 98-87 win over the Dallas Wings, head coach Stephanie White shared how her team tried to stop Paige Bueckers.
The Fever picked up a massive 98-87 win over Dallas, but it was far from a smooth ride. Paige Bueckers gave Stephanie White's defense proper headaches all night, torching them for 29 points and making Indiana look completely uncomfortable in coverage.
Regardless, the win over Dallas pushes Indiana to 22-12 on the season, keeping them firmly in 4th place overall in the WNBA standings and 2nd in the Eastern Conference. So, with just 10 games remaining in the regular season, the Fever are well-positioned for a high playoff seed.
After the Fever's win over the Wings, Stephanie White came out and detailed exactly how the Indiana Fever dealt with Paige Bueckers and her scoring threat.
She said: "I thought Kelsey was doing a really good job on Paige, just making her uncomfortable. I mean, look, Paige is a **** of a player, so she still gets 29, but I thought in the fourth quarter in particular, Kelsey did a really good job of making it difficult."

There was a lot to like for the Raiders in their home opener. Especially if you were stil struggling with PTSD from watching their disaster of an offense last year. But there was also plenty of issues and players who didn't make a great first impression on the new coaching staff. Do they fall down and stay down? Or do they get up, dust themselves off and come back stronger next week? We shall see. For now, they are...
The two drafted rookies have been battling for the starting left cornerback job. They came out together with the second team defense in this game, Masses on the left and McCoy on the right. And proceeded to get torched for much of the game.
Their first drive of the game, Masses gave up a nine-yard catch on third and four and missed a tackle on an 11-yard run on third and one. The next play McCoy gave up the touchdown catch.
Next drive, Masses gave up a 14-yard catch on third and six and a few plays later, McCoy gave up another touchdown catch. Coming out the half, Maxxes gave up a first down catch on fourth and two and two plays later, McCoy gave up an 11-yard catch that put them back in field goal range.
He too came in with the second team defense. The first drive -- which was the second TD drive for the Cards -- he was flagged for unnecessary roughness when he tried punching at the ball well after the runner was ruled down and the play was over. Two plays later he gave up a nine-yard catch. On the third TD drive of the game, between catches given up by Masses and McCoy, Eichenberg gave up a ten-yard catch, a seven-yard catch, and missed a tackle on a run to set up a third and short.

Acting runs in Melanie Griffith's family.
Her mom Tippi Hedren got her start as a model before she got her big break when director Alfred Hitchcock discovered her and cast her in his 1963 classic, The Birds. From then on, Hedren starred in other films such as Marnie, Through the Eyes of a Killer, Pacific Heights and more.
In 1957, Hedren and then-husband Peter Griffith welcomed Melanie, who went on to forge her own illustrious career in Hollywood. Melanie — the star of films such as Joy Ride, Paradise, Mulholland Falls and more — would welcome her first daughter, Dakota Johnson, in 1989, who continues to carry the leading lady torch.
As Griffith celebrates her 69th birthday on Aug. 9, 2026, check out some of the special moments the three generations of actresses have shared in public through the years.

LIV Golf 1.0 — the era of big talk and bigger paychecks — is over. Whatever comes next for the breakaway tour, cut loose by Saudi Arabian funding and now on the hunt for outside investment, the days of "Golf But Louder" are done.
Without a doubt, LIV fundamentally changed the structure of men's professional golf, forcing the PGA Tour into reworking its entire structure, schedule and financial model. LIV altered the professional arcs of some of the game's greatest players, gave others the opportunity to destroy their own reputations, and provided a pathway back to prominence for the once-lost Anthony Kim. LIV also brought the concept of sportswashing into the mainstream of the American sports conversation, forcing sports fans to decide just how much politics they were willing to accept with their sports.
That's a ****** of an impact in just a few short years, but that also leads into another LIV lesson: the impossibility of competing with the established American sports framework. Even a league funded by bottomless oil wealth ultimately couldn't compete with a vulnerable legacy organization.
So what does that mean? Competing with the PGA Tour is a lost cause for LIV, so coexistence is now the only path forward. And if LIV is going to survive and thrive in the years to come, version 2.0 will need to learn from the mistakes of its predecessor. And oh, are there plenty of lessons to learn.
LIV Golf fired off the tee in 2021 with swagger, attitude and arrogance, largely mirroring the personality of firebrand Greg Norman. Longtime PGA Tour antagonists like Norman and Phil Mickelson spoke openly (and in court filings) of wanting to upend the Tour's entire business model, torching the very house in which they'd grown wealthy. That didn't sit well with Tour traditionalists, and the badass playacting came off as more silly than intimidating. You're smacking a little white ball around a field, gentlemen. Let's not pretend this is armed combat.

The Tennessee ******* ans have a great history at running back, with players such as Earl Campbell, Eddie George, Chris Johnson, and Derrick Henry carrying the torch for the organization.
Of those, watching Henry flourish with Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens is still a sore spot with some of the fanbase, and unfortunately, things won't be getting any easier in 2026. Not only will the ******* ans face Henry and the Ravens during the season, but he dealt a crushing blow to his legacy in Nashville.
Meeting with Kay Adams on the Up and Adams Show, Henry made it clear that he is all in on Baltimore and wants to retire a Raven.
"What other place would there to be to retire?" Henry said, "When I'm done playing, I want to be done playing here. When I hang it up, Baltimore is the last place I want to be."
Henry is one of the most dominant backs of this generation and made his name with the ******* ans before leaving the organization as a free agent in 2024. Over his career in Nashville, he played 119 games, rushing for 9,502 yards with 93 touchdowns, and chipped in another 155 receptions for 1,458 yards and nine touchdowns; leading the league in rushing twice, rushing touchdowns three times, and becoming the 2020 NFL Offensive Player of the Year.

Ariana Grande has been concerningly thin for years now, but the online discourse about her body exploded this week after she released the music video for "Petal," the **** le track of her most recent album. The video's storyline, in which the 33-year-old pop singer gets "Carrie"-style revenge for men's misogynist judgments, was completely overshadowed by fan alarm at Grande's apparent emaciation. Set in the 1960s, the colorful retro fashions hang off her skeletal frame.
"I can't even enjoy the video without thinking she looks sickly every second she is on the screen," one person posted on YouTube.
"At this point, im [sic] judging her team, friends, and family," the video's top commenter said. "This is insane."
"She's is surrounded by enablers," another wrote. "Eating disorders are not a joke."
These comments aren't outliers. To the contrary, the entire discussion on YouTube was about Grande's body, not the video's visuals or the music, a lovely torch song where she compares herself to a "petal in the pavement." While she likely intended the lyric to be empowering, instead it feels more like a metaphor for her apparent physical fragility.
