New Balance has announced it has added Golden Globe Award-winning actor Ayo Edebiri to its roster of brand ambassadors.
New Balance says its latest partnership with Edebiri makes for a natural fit given her upbringing in Boston, which is also where the brand's global headquarters is located. Edebiri's launch campaign captures her in her hometown of Dorchester while wearing the iconic New Balance 574.
"New Balance has always been part of the backdrop of my life growing up in Boston, so there was already a familiarity there. But as I learned more about the brand through conversations with the amazing team, the fit became about more than just the Boston connection," Edebiri said about joining New Balance. "I love how New Balance has such a clear sense of who they are, while still leaving room for self-expression and creativity, allowing people to make the brand their own. That balance of identity and individuality is something I value in both my personal style and my work, and is what makes this relationship feel like such a natural fit."
New Balance confirmed that Edebiri will appear in future campaigns and storytelling opportunities.

PASADENA, Calif. - For three quarters and seven minutes, Bob Chesney's Rose Bowl debut was a dull affair, then just as quickly, the Bruins gave their faithful fans and historic stadium plenty to cheer about.
The SDSU Aztecs came to town looking to present a challenge and they certainly didn't make things easy on the Bruins, nor did the Bruins make things easy back. Both siders traded drives where they accomplished relatively nothing. So much nothing in fact the first play to go past the 50-yard line and into opposing territory didn't happen until Brian Rowe Jr. caught a pass with 11:47 left in the second quarter and both sides went into halftime tied 0-0.
Neither side particularly excelled with their passing, even if UCLA had the slight edge through the first half and finished with a much larger edge with 151 net passing yards to just 45 by SDSU and both sides were equally unsuccessful in their rushing attempts early on, but things started to change for UCLA in the second half.
"That is not the way we want to play football, obviously in the first half," Chesney said. "But at the same point in time, that's where we found ourselves. And I think every once in a while, it wasn't pretty, but it was gritty, and you need one of those."
UCLA struck first with a rushing touchdown courtesy of fifth-year running back Wayne Knight early in the third quarter, but UCLA could have scored far earlier than that if senior quarterback Nico Iamaleava made a different decision in a critical moment.

Back in the late 70s and early 1980s, my small town had a mom-and-pop convenience store, Paul's Market, as well as one location of a regional chain, Richdale's. It later added a store from a larger chain, White Hen Pantry.
7-Eleven and other large chains existed, but local stores, even one-offs, were common. Now, just over the past few years, a number of bigger players have swallowed up some smaller chains.
The banner retirements are real and named, according to data from NACS Magazine.
GetGo was sold to Circle K, Redwood Markets went to Jacksons (24 stores, California), and Maverick bought the ****** & Go Brand, which included about 400 locations. In all three cases, the name changes were gradual as stores got remodeled, but in the end, the classic names disappeared.
Now, the same thing has happened again as Casey's has begun the process of removing the CEFCO name from the 198 stores it added when it bought the rival chain in 2024.

It's game time, baby!
The Hawkeyes are back in action and for the second week in a row, Iowa will play host to a first year coach as the Iowa State Cyclones come to town with new head coach Jimmy Rogers. While Rogers was at South Dakota State before his one year stint at Washington State, he was not leading the Jackrabbits for the 7-3 game back in 2022.
In a role reversal from the last couple years under former head coach Matt Campbell, the Cyclones will come to Iowa City looking drag Iowa down into the mud for a rock fight. ISU boasts a talented defense, particularly up front, but had their fair share of struggles on the offensive side of the ball in week one against SEMO.
They'll rely on shortening the game, limiting possessions and bank on quarterback Jaylen Raynor hitting on a shot play or two.
Can the Hawkeyes avoid giving up a big play after the Cyclones tallied five of them in week one? Can they flip the script and turn those shot plays into turnovers after Raynor avoided interceptions in the opener? And what about the other side of the ball? Will Iowa still be able to find success running the ball against what is framed as a stout defensive front for Iowa State? And if not, can the combination of Hank Brown and Jeremy Hecklinski win this game through the air?

More than 30 years ago, all over the walls of a high school about an hour west of downtown San Antonio, the signs started appearing.
In breezeways, next to lockers, and around the cafeteria, the motivational slogans kept popping up, some scrawled in magic marker on poster board, and others printed out on long sheets of dot-matrix paper. They were hung by a D'Hanis baseball coach who wanted to remind students that they could win anything with the "RIGHT MENTAL ATTITUDE," and that "PRESSURE MAKES DIAMONDS," and that "WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GET GOING."
A bunch of clichés, maybe, but harmless ones. The coach meant well, and his team wound up winning state.
One of his colleagues, though, was a world-class wiseacre, and couldn't resist the opportunity to poke fun. Bill Lovett coached boys basketball and taught history. And above the chalkboard in his classroom one day, there was a long dot-matrix printout bearing a slogan of his own creation.
"AN ELEPHANT IN DISGUISE IS STILL BIG," it read.

LAS VEGAS — When the Miami Dolphins open the 2026 season against the Las Vegas Raiders, nearly a quarter of their active roster will consist of rookies. The Dolphins have 13 of them, most in the NFL, all with a story to tell on the road to realize their dreams.
For fullback DJ Herman, his reality exceeds anything he could have dreamed.
"I'm even more stoked than probably some of these other rookies because I'm going back to my hometown, where it all started, in Las Vegas," Herman said.
Herman figures "all the stars aligned" for his big day to be wrapped in a family reunion and personal cheering section about 50 strong.

"What a statement," Tim Tebow said. "That's a left hook."

Lil Durk has been cleared of every charge in the federal murder-for-hire trial that drew packed courtrooms, celebrity spectators and crowds of supporters to downtown Los Angeles.
A federal jury found the 33-year-old Chicago rapper, whose legal name is Durk Banks, not guilty on September 11 after three days of deliberations. The case centered on an August 2022 attack targeting rapper Quando Rondo that instead killed Rondo's 24-year-old cousin, Saviay'a Robinson, according to The ******* ociated Press.
Prosecutors accused Durk of financing and directing the attack in retaliation for the 2020 killing of his close friend Dayvon "King Von" Bennett. Durk's lawyers argued that former ******* istant Kavon Grant organized the plot without the rapper's knowledge and attacked the credibility of cooperating witnesses who had reached plea agreements with the government.
Durk was not released after the verdict. He remains in federal custody because he faces a separate trial involving murder-related racketeering and firearms allegations, with jury selection currently scheduled to begin October 5.
Durk had faced five counts: conspiracy to commit stalking, stalking using a dangerous weapon, stalking resulting in death, conspiracy to use interstate commerce facilities to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death and use of interstate commerce facilities to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death.

Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Alcorn State will meet for the second consecutive season in the 37th annual Southern Heritage Classic on Sept. 12 (6 p.m., HBCU Go). The Golden Lions won last season's meeting 24-20 at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium.
Playing in the Southern Heritage Classic is more than just a conference game for the two foes. Both the Braves (1-1) and Golden Lions (1-1) have alumni bases in Memphis and fans from areas not too far away.
Golden Lions coach Alonzo Hampton and Alcorn State coach Cedric Thomas were celebrated at the annual coaches luncheon inside the Renasant Convention Center on Sept. 11.
Hampton reflected on the team's journey back to this event. This will be UAPB's fourth consecutive appearance after having a 1-2 record through three years.
"It has been amazing," Hampton said. "So we get excited, man. Every year we get a chance to come back. It keeps getting bigger and bigger, and you know you pray for good weather, and hopefully everything works out. But it's fun. I look forward to it. Our players look forward to it. We stay downtown at the Westin, and the band's coming, so it's just really exciting, man, to come back and be able to do this."

Liverpool head into another Premier League test with momentum building, and Virgil van Dijk has made the message clear. Good performances matter, results matter more, but consistency is what separates serious sides from the rest.
After a comeback win over Atletico Madrid in midweek and a 2-0 league victory against Ipswich Town before that, Liverpool now have the chance to make it three wins on the bounce at Anfield against Fulham. The captain is not interested in noise or sentiment. He is focused on standards.
In his programme notes, Van Dijk said: "After an important and, in my opinion, well-deserved win over Atletico Madrid, it is great to be back at Anfield again this afternoon as we return to Premier League action against Fulham.
"I thought the atmosphere on Wednesday night was exceptional, particularly in the second half as we chased the victory.
"I have said many times that we are at our best when everyone is pushing together, and I hope you can see how hard we are all working to give you a team to be proud of."

HOLMES TOWNSHIP - Wynford used its retro act of a strong rushing attack to snap a two-game losing streak and beat Buckeye Central 41-6 in Northern 10 play Friday night.
The Royals (1-1, 2-2) ran for 492 yards and six touchdowns, led by Deegan Lutz's 246 yards and Braylon Wells' 209 — they both had a trio of scores.
MORE N10: Anschutz, Guegold propel Lucas to first conference win as a member of N10
"We came out and were physical tonight," first-year Wynford coach Andy Amlin said. "We lacked focus the last two weeks and I thought we had that. I thought we executed offensively a lot better than we had."
The hosts took a 14-0 lead thanks to Wells' two-yard burst and Lutz's 18-yard run in the first quarter. Wells then ripped off a 63-yard touchdown with 5:18 left in the first half for a three-score margin.

MIDDLETOWN - There are plenty of words that a veteran football coach like Xavier High School's Sean Marinan would like to hear his starting quarterback say in the season opener. It's safe to say that "hyper" would be pretty far down the list.
However, Maxwell Murphy summarized the forgettable opening quarter perfectly for the host Falcons. Once the nervous energy went away, Xavier took control en route to a 27-2 win over East Haven on Friday night.
"We started off a little hyper," Murphy said. "I was hyper in the first quarter, but we responded really well. Our defense looked great and I think our offense responded well."
Murphy threw two of his three touchdown passes in the second quarter to get the Falcons going. The defense took care of the rest.
East Haven scored first when a high snap on a punt by Xavier sailed out of the end zone. It was still a 2-0 game before Murphy connected with Eli Halvorsen on a 17-yard touchdown pass.

It's hard to compete with the offensive fireworks of a 20-0 game, but a Navy World War II veteran got as big an ovation as anybody Sept. 11 during the game between the Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds.
Sverre Vinje, age 102, sang "God Bless America" in the middle of the seventh inning during Milwaukee's playoff-clinching performance, and you simply have to see it for yourself.
The Rockford, Illinois, resident was there at the Battle of Iwo Jima and the Battle of Okinawa, according to WIFR in Rockford. He told the station he decided to enlist after hearing about the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Vinje's hometown gave him a surprise birthday celebration in June.
He's sung the tune at sporting events before, including at games for the Rockford IceHogs hockey team.

NEW YORK (AP) — Twenty-five years ago, Brielle Saracini was 10 years old and trying to cope with losing her father, Victor Saracini, the pilot on United flight 175, which was taken over by the 9/11 hijackers and crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center.
Spurred on by a friend, she wrote a letter to Derek Jeter, met the Yankees captain at Yankee Stadium and formed a lifelong friendship.
On Friday, as New York commemorated the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, Saracini threw out the ceremonial first pitch with Jeter watching from the mound before the Yankees hosted the crosstown Mets.
"I remember just talking about anything and everything and anything that kind of came through my mind that day and you just made it so comfortable and I remember just feeling normal for a day, which was hard to do," Saracini said while sitting next to Jeter at a news conference. "The odds were stacked against me that day but I remember just taking a minute and just having normal conversations and just feeling like a kid."
Jeter remembers trying his best in a tough situation.

As the Yankees' pitchers and hitters began their respective pregame meetings on Friday afternoon, the daily seminars opened with a twist.
Shown to them was what Aaron Boone called an "outstanding," three-minute video on the significance of Sept. 11, 2001. With Friday marking the 25th commemoration of the terrorist attacks that targeted the World Trade Center, Brett Weber, the Yankees' senior director of advance scouting and replay guru, put the clip together.
The intention was to give the Yankees a quiet moment to reflect before hosting the Subway Series and beating the crosstown-rival Mets, 6-4.
"This is a day that will be remembered forever," Weber said, "and at the end of the day, that was really the message."
Boone also made sure to talk to his players, who recently attended the National September 11 Memorial & Museum and a handful of local firehouses, about the importance of the day. Among other things, he wanted to make sure that they knew how vital baseball became in the aftermath of the tragedy, as the game helped the city and the country heal.

Violence incoming.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight headliners Jean Silva and Jose Delgado came face-to-face Friday evening following the Noche UFC 4 ceremonial weigh-ins, held ahead of their main event tomorrow night (Sat., Sept. 12, 2026) inside Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
Delgado quickly stormed onto the stage and soaked in a massive ovation from his hometown crowd. Silva, meanwhile, took his time—as usual—and initially hid his face from the fans.
When Silva finally stepped onto the scale and struck his pose, he revealed that his face had been painted like a sugar skull.
The two Featherweights then got directly in each other's faces. Silva unleashed his trademark bark, but Delgado refused to take the bait, standing his ground and staring straight through the Brazilian contender.

GANDER, Newfoundland (AP) — Standing in the town that sheltered thousands of stranded Americans after the Sept. 11 attacks, former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien marked the 25th anniversary Friday with a pointed message for the United States: "Never mistake our generosity for weakness."
The 92-year-old former leader, who was prime minister at the time of the attacks, drew a standing ovation after telling his "American friends" that Canadians may be tolerant and kind but "we bow to no one." U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra rose afterward and hugged him.
"I say that not in anger, but as one friend to another," Chrétien said. "Friends need to be honest with each other."
The unusually blunt remarks came during a solemn ceremony honoring the nearly 3,000 people killed in New York, at the Pentagon and aboard Flight 93, and remembering Gander's extraordinary response to the attacks.
Gander, Newfoundland opened its arms to nearly 6,600 airline passengers diverted there when the U.S. government shut down airspace during 9/11.

Andoni Iraola has sent a message to Liverpool across his first few games in charge. It's puts the Reds in a difficult position.
We've now seen what Andoni Iraola is about over his first four matches in charge of Liverpool. The Spaniard has tried to develop the team quickly, hoping to get them pressing higher and playing with more energy than last season.
That was very apparent in the wins over Ipswich Town and Atlético Madrid. The latter was a particularly impressive win in the UEFA Champions League and it was the Reds' high press that made it happen.
What Iraola needs, then, is to get a hold of the right players for the right roles. That includes figuring who in this current bunch are capable of delivering what he needs.
And one decision he appears to have made on that puts Liverpool in a very tricky position.
