We've got a smooth lake at the moment, Gilbert Enoka says, relaxing in the bar of England's team hotel in Perth a few days before the battle for the Ashes gets under way. But the series is going to start and then there's going to be really, really choppy water in terms of what we actually have to sail. All I want is to help the guys develop structures that can help them be reliable when those waves come.
Over 11 months ago, Jimmy Butler lost his joy with the Miami Heat. Fast forward to now, and Grizzlies star Ja Morant's lost his joy in Memphis. The two-time All-Star had an interesting postgame exchange with reporters last week after first-year head coach Tuomas Iisalo reportedly challenged his leadership. He was eventually suspended for conduct detrimental to the team. While all indications, as of now, suggest the Memphis Grizzlies aren't looking to move Morant, many have speculated about his future in Memphis.
Dean Herrington said he has been let go as football coach at St. Francis after five seasons during which his teams won three league championships and made two Southern Section finals. The team went 2-8 this season and failed to make the playoffs in a season in which there were numerous injuries at the quarterback position. St. Francis ended the regular season with a stunning 28-21 win over Cathedral.
As AI transitions from proof of concept to production, teams are discovering that the challenge extends beyond model performance to include architecture, process, and accountability. Developers are learning to integrate AI into their delivery pipelines responsibly, designing systems where part of the workflow learns, adapts, and interacts with human judgment. From agentic MLOps and context-aware automation to evaluation pipelines and team culture, this transition is redefining what constitutes good software engineering.
England felt like such a safe space for me. It was usual to have a team review after a big tournament and after the Euros in 2022 we came together in the Club England meeting room at St George's Park, the team's headquarters. The emotional security that I felt within England was bolstered by the culture and values that had underpinned and contributed to our success.
Somewhere through their dueling analysis and misguided words is the hope Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa keep their relationship intact. It won't be easy while walking the plank the rest of this season. But their bond has been one of the few good aspects of the past few, disappointing seasons. Neither is having a good year, the coach or the quarterback. But they said Wednesday everything is fine between them, too.
Aaron Glenn, the hottest candidate in the 2024-25 coaching carousel cycle, is making rookie mistakes like letting the clock run out at halftime rather than try a Hail Mary and having Justin Fields drop back on fourth down from the Denver 44 rather than attempting a long go-ahead field goal in the closing minutes of the Jets' 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London on Sunday.
I believe we had the football IQ and intelligence to adapt and make it work together, Gerrard told his former England teammate Rio Ferdinand on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast. But there was a bigger problem with England in my opinion. I think we were all egotistical losers. I watch the telly now and I see [Jamie] Carragher sitting next to Paul Scholes on this fan debate and they look like they've been best mates for 20 years,
Kel'el Ware's first NBA season was promising. Not earth-shattering, not a guarantee of future stardom, but still rock-solid and encouraging from all angles. The Miami Heat are, of course, hoping there's another big step coming. And more forward progress after that. If not, they'll kick themselves over their refusal to include him in their trade offer for Kevin Durant. They will, however, play a part in whether this works out or not, and so far, they're doing the right thing,
Speaking on his anticipation for playing in a Heat jersey, Powell made it clear that he's thrilled to be representing the franchise. "It's amazing, honestly," Powell said. "Walking into the arena and seeing the history, the championships ... Being in Dwyane Wade's old locker, what he meant to me and my game as a kid, modeling my game after him."
The Patriots' receiving corps was a hot topic throughout the offseason, as they had 12 players on the roster for much of training camp. It was the first time in many years that there was actual competition to make the team, with a few early risers looking like they would dominate on offense once the regular season began. Among the most talked about was DeMario Douglas, who had an impressive performance all summer long, leading many to believe he could be a secret weapon for Drake Maye during a very telling second season. The connection between them was clear last year, and it looked like they were well on their way to building upon that going into this season.
The Atlanta Falcons lost 0-30, the offense is flailing, and coaches are being fired. It's only Week 4. The special teams unit can't make a kick or field a kick. It's only Week 4. Zac Robinson and Raheem Morris provided differing quotes when asked about the offense's predictability in their press conferences, which were held only minutes apart. It's only Week 4. The team has set a must-win precedent against the Washington Commanders with its behavior. It's only Week 4.
1. Reconnect With An Impactful Client I reconnect with a client whose music I truly believe in-music that I feel makes the world a better place.

The reality is we're excited for the journey we're going to go on this season. Obviously, bringing European football to the fans for the first time in all these years is exciting for everyone involved with the club - and we're really looking forward to it. We've just got to go out and enjoy it. As we spoke about, we've earned the right to be in this competition now, and that's the norm for Crystal Palace's season.
Building great teams is not about hiring stars. Many leaders believe that building a high-performing team requires hiring star employees. However, intelligence, abilities, and personalities are poor predictors of how people behave in teams and what they can contribute to a team's success.
