You said yes, and now the real planning begins. Somewhere between picking a venue and building a guest list, one number keeps coming up: how much should you actually spend on the dress. It is a fair question, and the honest answer depends on where you shop. A bride in Ohio and a bride in Walnut Creek are not working with the same numbers, even if they want the exact same gown. Here is what the...

They simply cannot hit the baseball. Zack Meisel broke down the grisly numbers in his column for the Athletic Wednesday. The bullpen also has not been good.Thatll all change when the red-hot Padres come to town tonight, of course.Yesterday was the first game a team (i.e. the Guardians) did not strike out once and got shutout since 2014. #funfactAROUND MLB:The White Sox and Twins lost.

Kevin Gray Jr.: Mavericks G/F Klay Thompson says that he wants to compete for a championship, not necessarily win one, but have the chance to compete and try and win a title and play a role on a team that can make a deep playoff run #MFFL (@PlaqueBoyMax Twitch)x.comMore on Klay Thompson: Recent HoopsHype RumorsBecause of the Heat working this season under a hard cap created by the machinations required for the Antetokounmpo acquisition, a deliberate approach is required for the final two standard roster spots. Among those reportedly being considered by the Heat for those two roster spots are Bradley Beal, DeMar DeRozan and Klay Thompson, should he become available from the Dallas Mavericks by trade or with a buyout. 8/10/2026 South Florida Sun-SentinelKalshi Hoops: "The Mavs have explored Klay Thompson's trade market. My understanding is that Klay would welcome a return to Los Angeles, where he spent part of his childhood and still owns a home," per @christianpclark. d.: Get back on it! Mychal Thompson ??? Mychal Thompson: Im TRYING? QuestFor18: Now that LeBron is not a Laker you can tell Klay he can join the Lakers franchise as a LA kid. That rivalry meant something to Klay. But now he can team up with Luka like he originally wanted to when he went to Dallas. Mychal Thompson: I knowExcellent idea??????? 8/7/2026 x.comJake Fischer: The Mavericks would trade Klay Thompson. There's definitely been some type ofbuzz, framework, whatever, about a Klay Thompson-for-Nikola Jovic thing for weeks now but it that was to happen, I think it would probably have happened. 8/5/2026 Bleacher ReportLegion Hoops: Klay Thompson didnt appreciate KDs comment on Instagram. Aye man, u good? 8/4/2026 x.comThe 2016-17 Warriorsmight be the greatest team of all time, but Kevin Durant believes the 2026-27 76ers are as good on paper. Durant implied that's what he thought during a USA Basketball event on Sunday, and he doubled down on Monday when replying to a fan on Instagram who said the two teams "ain't close.""Aint close lmao," Durant replied. "Joel, mvp recently. Jaylen brown, recent finals mvp, Tyrese Maxey, all star the last 3 years. We all know what bron does. Klay Thompson, never a mvpcandidatein nothing, 22ppg. Draymond, 14ppg 7 rebounds 6 assist, Steph a mvp just like Joel was. I dont get how the warriors team is better on paper." 8/4/2026 Sports IllustratedAly: Meanwhile Draymond Green on Threads: Slim thought he was on his burner? 8/4/2026 x.comDraymond Green: I think to understand this statement though, you always have to understand the way KD view basketball. And the way KD view basketball is very Uncle Drewish. This game will and always will be about buckets thats how KD view the game. So when KD say, Yo, they got four 25 point scorers, you have to understand in KD mind what that means. So first off in order to understand Kevins statement, you have to understand his mindset and how he see the game and how he see the game. This game is about buckets. So when he mentioned, Yo, they got four 25 point scorers. Hell yeah, theyre going to be a contender. Thats how KD see the game. Its going to be league pass worthy. Absolutely. But that is how KD see the game. So hes going to mention to 25 point scorers. And I again I think everybody look at that and be like, Oh man, that team is nothing like that team was like I dont think he never said that. 8/4/2026 YouTubeHeat Central: Miami wants to get in the mix for both Klay Thompson with DeMar DeRozan @JakeLFischer on the Heats interest in Klay Thompson and DeMar DeRozan 8/4/2026 x.comAt this point, it remains unclear if Klay Thompson the Mavericks leading 3-point shooter in each of the past two seasons will be back in Dallas for a third year. The Mavericks have explored his trade market but have yet to find a deal, multiple sources with rival teams told The Athletic on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss any potential negotiations. Thompson is owed $17.5 million this season and is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2027. 8/3/2026 New York TimesMy understanding is that Thompson would welcome a return to Los Angeles, where he spent part of his childhood and still owns a home. The Miami Heat are another team frequently mentioned in NBA circles as a potential landing spot for the future Hall of Famer. 8/3/2026 New York TimesThis article originally appeared on Hoops Hype: Klay Thompson: 'I want to compete for a championship'

Ian Machado Garry made his UFC debut in 2021 [Getty Images]Ian Machado Garry said fans will be chanting his name when he beats welterweight champion Islam Makhachev at UFC 330 after he was relentlessly booed at a news conference in Philadelphia.The Irishman was booed as soon as he was introduced to the stage, with fans pledging their allegiance to Russia's Makhachev, who is looking to further cement his legacy on Saturday."On Saturday night that belt will be wrapped around my waist and every single one of you is going to change - it's going to be 'let's go Garry' chants," Machado Garry said."I couldn't care less [about the booing]. My little boy is here laughing and making faces - I'm living the dream. "I get to fight for a world title. I dreamt of this room when I was a 16-year-old kid and this weekend all of my dreams come true. Nobody can take that away from me."Machado Garry, 28, has a record of 17 wins in 18 professional bouts and has 10 wins from 11 fights since signing with the UFC to emerge as the number one contender in the welterweight division.Machado Garry told reporters during Wednesday's media day that he would only be answering questions about the fight, and he shut down one of those journalists, who he felt overstepped the mark, during Thursday's news conference.The journalist in question said: "A lot of fans sometimes say that Ian is annoying, do you find Ian annoying?", but Machado Garry interjected before Makhachev could answer."That's a loaded question," Machado Garry said. "What you're doing now is trying to cause trouble. We're friends, I thought we were cool. That's putting words in his mouth and you know it. "If he thinks that he can be honest and say it, but your job as a journalist is to be professional and stick to the sport. "This is the biggest fight of the year, I think there are more important things to talk about."Machado Garry said he felt "nervous energy" from Makhachev when they faced off in front of the iconic Rocky Balboa statue on Wednesday. But it was very cordial when they came face-to-face on Thursday, shaking hands before Machado Garry said "you ready?"'Beating Makhachev proves I'm special'Ian Machado Garry's (right) last five wins have all come by decision [Getty Images]Regarded by many as one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, Makhachev, 34, vacated his lightweight title in January 2025 after four successful defences and claimed the welterweight belt in November.He has lost just once in his 29 fight career - winning 17 of his 18 contests in the UFC - with his sole defeat coming in 2015."Beating him proves I'm special," Machado Garry said. "Everyone of you fans consider him to be the number one pound-for-pound fighter on the planet, you consider him to be the greatest martial artist walking the earth. "When I beat him, you'll all shut your mouth and think I'm great."Victory will see Makhachev move clear of Anderson Silva's 16 successive wins in the UFC - a record which has stood for 13 years.Earlier in the week, Makhachev said he "does not have much time" left in the UFC but at the news conference he appeared to suggest he could be around for a while to come."Seventeen [wins] is not going to be enough. I want to be sure that nobody breaks my record so it needs to be 20 minimum," Makhachev said."Let's talk about the GOAT numbers after my career. I'm still winning. After my 20-win streak then let's talk."'Feels like we're in high school'Gillian Robertson (right) is looking to record a sixth successive win at UFC 330 [Getty Images]There is also a title on the line in Saturday's co-main event with Gillian Robertson facing strawweight champion Mackenzie Dern.Canada's Robertson has been with the UFC since 2017 and is getting her first shot at a belt in her 21st fight with the promotion.The 31-year-old, who holds the record for most submission wins (7) in UFC history, repeated claims that she has been disrespected by American Dern all week."She has been diminishing my skills throughout the media, saying she doesn't know what belt I am or who I am, but she's chasing the submission record which I have," Robertson said.Dern beat Virna Jandiroba to claim the vacant belt in October and has six submission wins on her record in the UFC."It feels like we're in high school, like 'who doesn't like each other', but the best time we'll get to know each other is in the octagon for 25 minutes," Dern responded.UFC champion Dern says poker patience helps her fightingHow vegan diet changed course of Machado Garry's careerMMA schedule and results 2026Watch every Born to Brawl episode More MMA from the BBC Notifications, social media and more with BBC Sport

Aliyah Boston makes emphatic MVP declaration about Fever teammate originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Indiana Fever have no shortage of star power. Caitlin Clark remains one of the WNBAs most recognizable players. Aliyah Boston has developed into an elite two-way center. Yet when Boston was asked about the driving force behind Indianas recent success, she pointed directly toward Kelsey Mitchell. Boston did not simply praise her longtime teammate. She placed Mitchell in the leagues most important individual conversation.Honestly, shes really just the MVP, Boston said. I think thats just what shes been doing.The declaration might be viewed as a teammate supporting another teammate, but Mitchells remarkable production gives Boston a compelling argument.Kelsey Mitchell strengthens WNBA MVP caseMitchell is averaging 24.3 points through 33 games while shooting 50.9% from the field and 44.5% from 3-point range. Those numbers represent career highs across the board.Her consistency has been even more impressive. Mitchell has scored at least 20 points in 17 consecutive games and surpassed 25 points in six straight contests, according to WRTV. She has become one of the leagues most reliable scorers during Indianas push toward the top of the standings.#Fever star Aliyah Boston on Kelsey Mitchell:Shes really just the MVP. I think thats just what shes been doing. Every single night you see her come out and she drops I dont even know how many points at this rate. She defends her butt off. Im really proud of her. pic.twitter.com/eIpH5rql3t James Boyd (@RomeovilleKid) August 13, 2026Boston highlighted more than Mitchells scoring, praising the work she puts in each day and her commitment on the defensive end.She comes in here and she works every day, Boston said. She gets up extra shots.That preparation has translated into a season unlike any other in Mitchells career.The Fever guard scored 28 points in Indianas 106-92 victory over the New York Liberty on Tuesday. She delivered 20 of those points during the first half, helping the Fever build a commanding advantage over the defending Eastern Conference champions.Clark added 22 points and 10 assists, but Mitchell finished as Indianas leading scorer once again.MORE:Dream crown Angel Reese with fitting nickname after historic performanceFevers star backcourt fueling postseason pushMitchells individual surge has coincided with Indianas strongest stretch of the season. The Fever have won seven of their last nine games and improved to 21-12 entering Fridays matchup with the Dallas Wings. Indianas backcourt has become exceptionally difficult to defend because opponents cannot devote all their attention to Clark.Clark can control games with her passing and long-range shooting. Mitchell applies pressure by attacking from every level, using her speed to reach the basket while punishing defenders who leave her space on the perimeter. Boston provides another challenge inside, giving Indiana three All-Star-caliber players with complementary skill sets.Mitchells MVP competition remains formidable. Several of the leagues biggest stars have constructed compelling cases, and individual awards often depend on a combination of statistics, team success and voter interpretation.Boston, however, sees Mitchells impact every day.She watches the additional shots after practice, the defensive effort that might not appear in a scoring column and the nightly responsibility Mitchell assumes within Indianas offense.Im really proud of her, Boston said.Mitchell finished fifth in MVP voting in 2025 after averaging 20.2 points and earning All-WNBA First Team honors. She responded in 2026 by becoming even more efficient and productive.Whether that results in her winning the award remains to be seen. Bostons endorsement makes one thing clear: Inside the Fever locker room, Mitchells historic season is not being overlooked.More WNBA news:A'ja Wilson vs. Olivia Miles debate is on with Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers lurkingChiney Ogwumike reacts to WNBAs Caitlin Clark suspension decisionWhy Indiana lieutenant governor is calling for Stephanie White's firing

BEREA, OHIO - JUNE 09: Parker Brailsford #52 of the Cleveland Browns runs a drill during the Cleveland Browns Mandatory Minicamp at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus on June 09, 2026 in Berea, Ohio. (Photo by Nick Cammett/Diamond Images via Getty Images) | Diamond Images/Getty ImagesWith many decisions to be made over the coming weeks, the preseason matchups will help the Cleveland Browns gain clarity on what they want to do this upcoming season. Head Coach Todd Monken will be able to use these games to evaluate and gather information across the roster to inform decisions for the start of the year. When it comes to the roster, which players in particular stand to benefit most from these preseason snaps?Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders both have a lot to prove this preseason. It has been confirmed that Watson will start against the Chicago Bears, while Sanders will get the nod against the Buffalo Bills. If either quarterback can clearly separate themselves from the competition and consistently perform well, they could earn the starting job for the regular season. They will need to make every opportunity count.The Browns offensive line looks very different this year, and there will be some big decisions to make, including at Center. Clevelands 5th-round pick, Parker Brailsford, is likely to start as the backup behind Elgton Jenkins; however, nothing is set in stone. Brailsford has been dealing with a wrist injury, but if he can get healthy and put together some impressive performances in the preseason, he could compete for the starting role or, at the very least, secure the number 2 spot over Luke Wypler.The line in general needs some time to gel, while the defense could benefit from a chance to go against offenses with some high-level QB play and consistent time together.While winning preseason games doesnt carry much weight, this will be a crucial period for a team undergoing significant transitionto beginmaking important decisions about its future.Let me know what you think in the comments Which Browns could benefit most from preseason reps?Join the conversation!Sign up for a user account and get:Fewer adsCreate community postsComment on articles, community postsRec comments, community postsNew, improved notifications system!
