Oklahoma State QB Drew Mestemaker sets school record in upset over Oregon originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
On his very first play in front of the home fans at Boone Pickens Stadium, Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestemaker did something never before seen at the school.
Mestemaker faked a handoff, then took off for a 75-yard run on the Cowboys' first play from scrimmage in a 39-31 upset win over Oregon last Saturday. Oklahoma State sports information confirmed Monday that it was the longest run by a quarterback in school history.
Mestemaker setting the record is a bit of a shock at a school that has boasted prolific runners such as Zac Robinson, Spencer Sanders and J.W. Walsh. It's also surprising because Mestemaker is not known as a runner. In the entire previous season at North Texas, he ran for 89 yards on 57 carries.
That wasn't even his most exciting run of the day. He later scored on a 10-yard touchdown run in which he took off from the 3-yard line, hurdled a defender and was flipped upside down by another before he landed hard on his back in the end zone.

During the September 3 episode of Mad Money, Jim Cramer mentioned Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) for its unconventional approach to powering hyperscale data centers in partnership with Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX). He said:
How about Microsoft? Look, Mr. Softee is getting religion. They've realized that by giving us more disclosure on Azure, their cloud infrastructure business, we'll find more things to like. They're right. In the end, I come to praise Microsoft CFO Amy Hood, not bury her. They've been very clever getting power for the data centers, pumping it right out of the Permian. They got this deal with Chevron as a partner… 2.67 gigawatts. No one's talking about it. It's the cleanest behind the meter plan for power I have seen yet. People even, and this is not a stretch, I'm not kidding, people even like Copilot.
CFO Amy Hood provided Wall Street with a much clearer look at actual cloud demand by breaking down detailed Azure growth metrics and data center capacity constraints. At the same time, enterprise adoption of Microsoft 365 Copilot is moving past initial trials, with major corporations deploying the AI ***** istant across workforce segments.
A major highlight of the company's infrastructure strategy is a twenty-year agreement with Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) for a proposed 2.67-gigawatt natural gas power plant in West Texas. Designed to supply dedicated off-grid electricity directly to a hyperscale data center in the Permian Basin, the project bypasses regional grid transmission queues to secure reliable power for continuous AI workloads. Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ:MSFT) president of Cloud Operations + Innovation, Noelle Walsh, commented:
Our agreement with Chevron helps ensure we'll have dedicated, large-scale power to support the evolution and reliability of advanced compute. Through this partnership, we're delighted to grow with and become a deeper part of the West Texas community.

It appears Kyle Shanahan will pass Bill Walsh. And keep on going and going.
The San Francisco 49ers head coach signed a contract extension in the offseason, Netflix's Tom Pelissero reported, although his previous deal – that owner Jed York said on March 30 that he was through 2028 – wasn't close to expiring. The length of this new deal has not yet been disclosed.
"I think Kyle's got three years left (on his contract)," York said then. "I want Kyle to be here for a long time. He's been here for a long time. I want him to be here even longer."
Shanahan, 46, will match Walsh as the longest-tenured 49ers head coach if he finishes his 10th season with the team in 2026. Shanahan and the Rams' Sean McVay are the NFL's second-longest tenured head coaches. They trail only Kansas City's Andy Reid, who is in his 14th season with the Chiefs.
Shanahan has an 83-67 regular-season record with the 49ers and a 9-5 mark in the postseason. His regular-season win total ranks third in franchise history behind George Seifert (98) and Walsh (92). His postseason total ranks third behind Seifert and Walsh, who each have 10. Shanahan's playoff winning percentage (.643) ranks ninth in NFL history (minimum 10 games). In Shanahan's first nine seasons, the 49ers won two NFC **** les, three NFC West crowns, made five playoff appearances and had four 12-win seasons.

Anne Hathaway brought fisherman sandals into the summer-to-fall stretch at New York Fashion Week on Thursday. The actress attended the Moncler Fifth Avenue flagship opening in New York City with her husband, Adam Shulman, wearing The Row's black leather Capri Knotted Slides with a relaxed double denim ensemble. Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman attend Moncler Fifth Avenue flagship opening at 767 Fifth Avenue on Thursday in New York City. GC Images Made from pebble-grained leather, the backless flats feature knotted straps, cutouts along the sides and toe and a flat round heel. The shoes may have been the most understated part of the Erin Walsh-styled outfit, but they made a strong case for one of fashion's most useful transitional styles. With the seasons beginning to shift, Hathaway delivered an easy styling lesson for when the weather is unpredictable: wear a shoe that can do both. Anne Hathaway at the Moncler Fifth Avenue opening **** tail party and dinner held at the Moncler Fifth Avenue flagship on Sept. 10 in New York. Gilbert Flores Fisherman sandals sit somewhere between a classic sandal and a closed-toe shoe, making them particularly appealing for those in-between days when summer sandals feel too bare but a full shoe feels too heavy

Despite star quarterback Justin Herbert being unquestionably one of the best players in the league, he hasn't been able to lead the Chargers to the sort of playoff success that would typically come with a player of his caliber.
This offseason, Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh hired former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel as his new offensive coordinator, guaranteeing, if nothing else, that this would be an interesting season, with the Chargers pairing two of the league's most eccentric personalities.
Eccentric as they may be, it's hard to deny that Harbaugh and McDaniel are anything other than two of the sharpest minds in football, with Fox Sports ***** yst Colin Cowherd going as far as to say that Harbaugh has a case as the greatest football coach of all time.
"If you count college and pro, I would make an argument today, the greatest coach in the history of football is not Bill Belichick or Bill Walsh or Vince Lombardi. It's Jim Harbaugh. The greatest coach ever," Cowherd said. "Think about this, he's never failed. He's five for five. At San Diego, Stanford, San Francisco 49ers, Michigan and the Chargers, he's never failed."
Now, Harbaugh is making a similarly bold statement about his quarterback.

Celtics Young Player Gives Fans Reason for Optimism About Bench in 2026-27 originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Celtics had a busy summer, and now they're looking forward to debuting a new rotation that features new/young players stepping into bigger roles.
One of those players likely to get a larger role is Jordan Walsh, who is fresh off a contract extension.
Getting an extension is an important moment in any NBA player's career, but Walsh doesn't see his new extension as a way to step off the gas now.
In July, Walsh signed a three-year contract extension with the Celtics worth $15 million ($5 million AAV).

Walsh doesn't view that security as a reason to get comfortable. Instead, he says the extension has provided even more motivation heading into his fourth season. He's spent much of the summer in the gym, with a particular emphasis on expanding the offensive side of his game. "I want to be able to contribute, and I want to be able to create my own shots," he said. "I want to be able to be called on when we need to get a bucket, and also still do the same things on defense that I've been doing because that's what got me here. But adding the offensive piece, so I'm a threat at all times and I can get my own bucket if I have to, that is going to further separate me."

The Boston Celtics have a long tradition of giving back to the city they play their NBA basketball in, and reserve forward Jordan Walsh helped keep that tradition going with a back-to-school event held this past Thursday (Sep. 3) that saw 15 youths from the area treated to a shopping spree at a local sporting goods store, as well as free haircuts from ****** le City Barbers and free sneakers from New Balance.
Walsh has been leading this event annually since he was picked up by Boston in the 2023 NBA Draft. "I think that if you have the opportunity to give back, then you should," offered the DeSoto, Texas native via team reporter Taylor Snow. "I think there needs to be a lot more people who are going out of their comfort zone, who are in places of power or in places where they can motivate other people, and use their platform for good."
"It should always be something that you keep in the back of your mind because you weren't born at the top, you weren't born at the level you're at," he added. "So if you had to grind to get there, there's people who are trying to grind get there as well. So you should show your support and love, and try to support them doing the same thing."
Walsh isn't just appreciative of that ethos from afar; he has been applying it to his own journey as a player as well. "It means that instead of just being a guy who comes into the league and is gone after three years, that I have some security to stick around," he said.
"There are bigger things that I want to achieve, but it's huge keeping that door open to be able to achieve the things that I want to get to," he added. "I want to be able to contribute, and I want to be able to create my own shots (and) ... to be able to be called on when we need to get a bucket, and also still do the same things on defense that I've been doing, because that's what got me here."

Sep. 4—COULEE CITY — Last season, the Almira/Coulee-Hartline Warriors (15-3) achieved their goals of reaching the state tournament and competing at the highest level. This season they look to build on that.
"We have a ton of talent this year," Head Coach Katie Walsh said. "(We're) coming in with the mindset that we have the toughest district in the state, and we have to show up and compete every day and practice at our highest levels if we want to get to our goals — and that's definitely the state tournament and placing."
The Warriors made a deep run to the semifinals of the 1B state volleyball tournament before falling to Garfield-Palouse 3-0.
The Warriors roster five seniors once again this season. Walsh highlighted Dani Isaak, Grace Okamoto and Josie Bayless as three standout players that will fulfill key roles for ACH this season.
Isaak was a captain for ACH last season, Walsh said. She anticipates the returning senior to grow more as a leader as she brings a calm presence to the court and helps instill Walsh's vision for the upcoming season. Okamoto will return as the team's libero, who was praised for her defensive prowess.

Jalon Daniels entered the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offseason program as an undrafted rookie simply trying to earn a place in the organization. A few months later, he will open the regular season one play away from being Tampa Bay's starting quarterback, and that unlikely rise has certainly caught the attention of general manager Jason Licht.
Speaking with NFL Network's Sara Walsh, Licht summed up Daniels' path to becoming Baker Mayfield's backup with some significant praise. "There's no blueprint for an undrafted rookie becoming your number 2 quarterback," Licht told Walsh. "Jalon basically wrote his own." That statement carries even more weight given how rare Daniels' situation is. According to Elias Sports Bureau, the last undrafted rookie quarterback to be active for Week 1 was Trevone Boykin with the Seattle Seahawks in 2016. Daniels didn't simply survive roster cuts, either. He beat out veteran Jake Browning for the job and convinced Tampa Bay it could enter the season with only two quarterbacks on its initial 53-man roster.
Licht has made it clear that Daniels' draft status won't prevent him from winning the job. "The number-one thing is, he earned it," Licht said. "It wasn't just given to him."Daniels steadily climbed throughout the summer, but his preseason performance helped solidify his case. He completed 27 of 44 passes for 239 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions while adding 37 yards and another touchdown on the ground. More importantly, Tampa Bay saw poise and command from a quarterback who was supposed to be a developmental project. The Bucs apparently began viewing Daniels differently after their first preseason game against the Jets. Licht said conversations shifted from Daniels needing to prove he could be the backup to essentially needing to prove that he couldn't. He never gave them a reason to change course. There is still considerable risk involved. Daniels has never taken a regular-season NFL snap, and Tampa Bay is trying to contend for another NFC South ****** le. If Mayfield misses time, the Bucs would be handing their offense to an undrafted rookie. Yet Licht doesn't appear interested in keeping a veteran around simply for the comfort of experience. He said Tampa Bay would rather have a talented, prepared, inexperienced quarterback than choose experience just for the sake of it. The Bucs aren't treating him like an undrafted rookie they hope to develop eventually. They've trusted him with one of the most important backup jobs on the roster because they believe he earned it.

Speaking with NFL Network's Sara Walsh, Licht summed up Daniels' path to becoming Baker Mayfield's backup with some significant praise. "There's no blueprint for an undrafted rookie becoming your number 2 quarterback," Licht told Walsh. "Jalon basically wrote his own." That statement carries even more weight given how rare Daniels' situation is. According to Elias Sports Bureau, the last undrafted rookie quarterback to be active for Week 1 was Trevone Boykin with the Seattle Seahawks in 2016. Daniels didn't simply survive roster cuts, either. He beat out veteran Jake Browning for the job and convinced Tampa Bay it could enter the season with only two quarterbacks on its initial 53-man roster.
Licht has made it clear that Daniels' draft status won't prevent him from winning the job. "The number-one thing is, he earned it," Licht said. "It wasn't just given to him."Daniels steadily climbed throughout the summer, but his preseason performance helped solidify his case. He completed 27 of 44 passes for 239 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions while adding 37 yards and another touchdown on the ground. More importantly, Tampa Bay saw poise and command from a quarterback who was supposed to be a developmental project. The Bucs apparently began viewing Daniels differently after their first preseason game against the Jets. Licht said conversations shifted from Daniels needing to prove he could be the backup to essentially needing to prove that he couldn't. He never gave them a reason to change course.

U.S.-Iran strikes reignite fears of a prolonged Middle East conflict as Hormuz tensions push regional oil benchmarks above $100.
Rising Bond Yields Turn Oil's Rally Into a Demand Risk
- Global bond yields have surged to their highest since 2008, as rising oil prices perpetuate fears of longer-than-assumed inflation, in turn creating a cycle of lower demand further down the road.
- The rally in bond yields started in earnest after new Federal Reserve chairman Kevin Walsh vowed to finally tame US inflation, currently at 3.4%, sending yields on the 10-Year Treasury bonds to 4.76%.
- The bond spiral extended into other developed economies, with rates on 10-year ***** anese bonds touching a 30-year high and moved above 3%, whilst 10-year UK bonds surged to 5.2%.

The marquees for all 41 Broadway theatres will be dimmed in honor of Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, Clive Davis and more stars who've recently passed away.
On Wednesday, the Broadway In Memoriam Committee confirmed the list of late honorees. On Tuesday, Sept. 8, the marquees will dim at 6:45 p.m. ET. Gina Ferrall, Josh Grisetti, Jeff Hamlin, Glen Hansard, Louise Lasser, Anna Louizos, Seth Marquette, Anne Russell, James Walsh and Harold Wheeler will also be honored.
In 2025, the Broadway In Memoriam Committee created a quarterly tradition called Broadway in Memoriam to honor individuals who left their mark on the Great White Way. The mass dimming now takes place four times a year on the second Tuesday of September, December, March and June.
Parton wrote the music and lyrics for the 2009 stage adaptation of "9 to 5," which received four Tony Award nominations, including one for her original score. The singer's second show, "Dolly: A True Original Musical" will begin previews Dec. 7 at the St. James Theatre in New York City with an opening set for Jan. 19, 2027, on what would have been her 81st birthday. Parton announced the Broadway engagement in July.
The production will tell her story through some of her biggest hits, including "Jolene," "Coat of Many Colors," "9 to 5" and "I Will Always Love You," alongside new songs she wrote specifically for the musical. Parton co-wrote the show's book with two-time Emmy winner Maria S. Schlatter. Tony winner Bartlett Sher is directing, with "So You Think You Can Dance" and "La La Land" choreographer Mandy Moore choreographing the production.

Red carpet glamour may look effortless, but behind every polished celebrity appearance is usually a team of professionals working together. Stylists, makeup artists and hairstylists help stars prepare for major events, making sure every detail feels right before the cameras start flashing. For many celebrities, getting ready is less about following a strict formula and more about trusting experienced people who understand their personal style. The process can feel like playing dress up, with different outfits, beauty looks and accessories tested until everything comes together.
Celebrities often describe the experience as highly collaborative. Stylists may bring several clothing options, but the final choice still depends on what makes the person wearing it feel comfortable and confident. Stars can suggest changes, remove details or add something that better reflects their personality. Even when the glam team does most of the technical work, personal input remains important. The strongest red carpet looks are often the ones that feel natural to the person wearing them rather than simply following whatever happens to be fashionable at the moment.
Preparation can also begin long before the makeup brushes and clothing racks arrive. Eating well, drinking enough water and taking care of the skin can help create a better starting point for the beauty team. Just as important is working with familiar professionals who understand a celebrity's face, preferences and comfort level. That trust can make the hours before an event feel less stressful, especially when the same makeup artist or hairstylist has developed a recognizable approach over years of working together.
Makeup artist Gucci Westman is one example of how personal that relationship can become. Her work has been described as gentle and artistic, almost like painting a face rather than simply applying cosmetics. For a celebrity, having someone who knows exactly how to create a familiar look can provide confidence before stepping into an environment filled with cameras and attention. The same principle applies to fashion styling, where understanding the person matters just as much as understanding clothes.
Stylist Erin Walsh, known for working with stars including Anne Hathaway and Selena Gomez, describes red carpet dressing as a collaboration. Trends can provide inspiration and help fashion continue evolving, but they should not completely control the final look. Instead, pieces of current trends can be adapted to suit an individual's personality, comfort and appearance. That may be the real secret behind memorable red carpet style. The best looks are not created by one person alone, but through teamwork, trust and a shared understanding of what makes someone feel their best.

TikTok users are worried about their most beloved celebrities dying, and they're using an audio warning against making "unnecessary journeys" to share these fears.
The trend is experiencing a big boost in virality following the recent high-profile death of Dolly Parton, which was quickly followed by the death of Tim Curry.
But what is the context of the "unnecessary journeys" audio, what does the trend mean, and why is it going viral? Here's what we know.
In 2015, news broadcaster Teresa Mannion reported on Storm Desmond in the west of Ireland. During the report, she stands in the middle of the storm and yells through the rain, "Don't make unnecessary journeys, don't take risks on treacherous roads, and don't swim in the sea!"
The clip went viral after it was edited and posted to YouTube by Gerard Walsh. The edit adds a scene to the end of her report, where a stop sign hits her in the head.

It took seven days more than expected, but Walsh Jesuit will get to play its second game of the Ohio high school football season in Week 3 on Friday, Sept. 4.
The Warriors (1-0), ranked No. 1 in the Beacon Journal's Power Poll heading into Week 2 after a season-opening rout of Highland, had to cancel their home opener against Springfield (Clark Co.) late last week after an outbreak of an illness in the Springfield program.
Now Walsh will face a strong test when it hosts Toledo Central Catholic (2-0), a 2025 Division III state runner-up that started the season with wins over Trotwood-Madison (27-9) and Portage Central (24-14).
We'll have complete coverage of Week 3 for Walsh and the other Greater Akron teams throughout the week. Here's a look at this week's games (all kick off at 7 p.m. unless noted):

On Tuesday, one of the most popular golf content creators with Texas ties received massive backlash over a now-infamous commercial displaying a woman being shoved to the ground by a man after trying to pull a driver out of a golf bag. The video was yanked after igniting outrage on social media, but more consequences are on the way.
Two days later, Callaway Golf ended its relationship with Frisco-based Good Good Golf amid the ongoing fallout from the influencer brand's controversial ad. Callaway initially reposted the Good Good video on social media before pulling it from its channels. In support of efforts to prevent violence against women, Callaway announced it would donate $1 million to organizations working to prevent violence against women.
"Over the last several days, we have listened and reflected deeply on the hurt and disappointment caused by the video we reposted," read a statement from Callaway Golf on Thursday. "We heard from individuals who shared personal experiences related to violence against women, and their stories were powerful reminders that this issue touches the lives of far too many people. Unequivocally, violence against women is unacceptable and should never be trivialized, normalized, or used as entertainment."
The statement also mentions the immediate severing of their relationship with Good Good, the $1 million donation, and a refocus for their content review and approval processes going forward.

Christian Gonzalez spoke to the media Tuesday and kept many details of the negotiations close to the vest.
Boston 25's Lauren Walsh asked Gonzalez what he feels he's worth in this new deal he's seeking.
"The office knows how I feel," Gonzalez said. "My team has made it known what I feel I'm worth, so the right people know what I'm worth."

Jed York's weekend arrest wasn't the first time San Francisco 49ers ownership has found itself on the wrong side of the law – though, ironically, those past legal missteps are largely why York finds himself in such a prominent position now.
York, 46, who pleaded no contest Monday, Aug. 24, to two misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools in Columbiana County, Ohio, after a charge of "engaging in prostitution" was reduced, was, until recently, the NFL's youngest principal owner. That track largely became available to him starting in 2000, when his uncle, Pro Football Hall of Famer Eddie DeBartolo Jr., relinquished control of the team to his sister Denise DeBartolo York (Jed York's mother) and brother-in-law John York (Jed York's father).
Prior to that, DeBartolo was widely perceived as an owner whom stars throughout the league wanted to play for given his demand for championship football – the 49ers won five Super Bowls between the 1981 and 1994 seasons, none since – but also his willingness to spare no expense while caring for the members of his roster. (The Niners would eventually be hit with nearly $1 million in fines and forfeited a fifth-round draft pick in 2001 plus a third-rounder in 2002 after the NFL found them guilty of circumventing the salary cap, which came into existence in 1994, during a 1999 investigation.)
But DeBartolo's legal issues away from football ultimately drove him from the league. He pleaded guilty to one felony charge of failing to report an alleged extortion attempt in 1998 amid his attempt to obtain a riverboat gambling license in Louisiana. Former state governor Edwin Edwards allegedly attempted to extract $400,000 from DeBartolo amid his bid for the license. The NFL fined DeBartolo $1 million and suspended him for the 1999 season due to his involvement with Edwards, who was imprisoned on racketeering charges in 2002.
As for DeBartolo, who entered the Hall of Fame in 2016 and remains close to his former players – he presented former Niners coach Bill Walsh plus team and NFL legends Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Fred Dean and Charles Haley as they went into Canton – he never returned to the team as its controlling owner following the suspension.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's son, James Wilkie, made a surprising statement about his 'modeling career' after showing off his ripped physique in a June photoshoot.
The 23-year-old posed for a series of striking portraits for acclaimed photographer Brad Walsh's book FELLA: Images of Men.
In the images, James shows off his sculpted physique and movie-star looks, posing in a fitted black tank top that highlights his muscular arms and broad shoulders.
Another portrait saw him leaning casually against a fireplace in a vintage graphic T-shirt and paint-splattered pants, while a close-up shot captured his tousled hair, piercing gaze, and undeniable resemblance to both of his famous parents.
The images led many fans to believe that James was setting his sights on a modeling career; however, he has since shut down those rumors.

Wigan Athletic have signed Chelsea midfielder Reggie Walsh and Manchester City midfielder Charlie Gray on season-long loan deals.
Walsh, 17, has made four senior appearances for the Premier League side and became their third-youngest player when he made his debut against Djurgarden in the Conference League in May 2025.
Gray, 20, has been with City since he was an under-9 and made his senior debut against Brentford in the Carabo Cup last December.
Both players could feature for Gary Cadwell's side in Saturday's League One game at home to Leyton Orient.
"It's the perfect stepping stone I need in my career. Being 17, I need to play men's football, and I believe this is the perfect environment for me to be in and build my career," Walsh told the club website.

NORTH CANTON — Groundbreaking for upgrades to Walsh University's Biery Family Baseball Stadium and Tim Mead Field was held on Monday, Aug. 17.
Improvements will include the installation of a synthetic turf infield, updated backstop and outfield netting, a new scoreboard, batting cage and press box enhancements, dugout and seating upgrades and other fan and player amenities.
A leadership gift from Walsh alums Ben and Michelle Biery are making the upgrades possible. The gift is undisclosed, but the university says it represents one of the largest In Cavaliers athletics history.
"Walsh University has been an important part of our family for decades, and this project is about investing in the future of the program and the student-athletes who will wear the Cavalier uniform in the years ahead," Ben Biery, a former Walsh baseball player, said in a university release. "We are honored to help strengthen a field that has meant so much to our family and to so many Walsh baseball players before us."

The victory made Brasher and Cruz the first women's team to win three straight Manhattan Beach Open ***** les since beach volleyball legends Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings won four consecutive championships from 2005 through 2008.
For Brasher and Cruz, who won the tournament in 2024 and 2025 and entered this year's event as the No. 1 seed, Sunday's championship further cemented their place among the sport's elite. The former LSU teammates represented the United States at the 2024 Paris Olympics before completing an undefeated AVP League season in 2025 and later reaching the No. 1 world ranking.
They looked every bit like the team to beat throughout the weekend.
