'Hot Girls Eat Arby's': Sophie Cunningham partners with chain on new shirt
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham debuted the Arby's partnership while arriving at a game against the Chicago Sky on Sunday, July 27, and in a collaborative Instagram post.
Photos of the basketball star wearing a ringer tee that read, "Hot Girls Eat Arby's," were posted to Cunningham and Arby's accounts.
"Look who has the meats now," reads the post's caption, a play on the fast food chain's longtime slogan.
In conjunction with the social media post, Arby's is selling the now-viral crop top for $20. As of Monday, July 28, small and large sizes of the shirt were already sold out.
The one-time partnership follows an April TikTok video of Cunningham filming an Arby's mukbang – a video in which someone eats for an audience. In the video, Cunningham chows down on two Arby's sliders while coming off of anesthesia.
"I haven't had Arby's in a really long time, I think for obvious reasons, but why did I ever go away from them? Not bad. Actually not bad at all," Cunningham said in the video, which as of July 28, had more than 881,000 views.
Cunningham finishes the video with a laugh, "I think I'm going to go ahead and give Arby's a solid nine out of 10."

Kayla McBride ties WNBA record with 8 made 3s in one half, Lynx off to scorching start vs. Aces
Kayla McBride scored 24 points Wednesday in a win over the New York Liberty. The sharpshooting Minnesota Lynx guard matched that total in the first half Saturday in Las Vegas. During a 67-point Minnesota first half, McBride tied a WNBA record with eight made 3s. The five-time WNBA All-Star didn't miss from beyond the arc in the opening two quarters, and three of long-range splashes took place in the span of 53 seconds late in the second frame. That sequence saw McBride come off a screen and drain a 30-foot triple, a shot that would have probably been good for four points in this year's All-Star Game. Immediately after that, she stole a pass from three-time league MVP A'ja Wilson, dribble down the court and hit a 27-foot 3, that one over the outstretched arm of the 6-foot-4 Wilson. McBride finished the trifecta of 3s with a 29-footer, making the Aces pay from way downtown after Las Vegas was late on its defensive rotation. Fellow Lynx and All-Star guard Courtney Williams kept Minnesota's foot on the gas with a late-shot-clock triple. As a result, the Lynx clocked out of the first half 13-of-14 from 3-point land. Minnesota entered the break with a 67-33 lead. MVP frontrunner Napheesa Collier — the Lynx's third All-Star this season who came into the day averaging a league-high 23.8 points per game — had only 4 points in the opening half.

Ex NJ teacher roasted after claiming she was traumatized by Sydney Sweeney ad
She used Sydney's rump for a trauma dump. An ex New Jersey teacher-turned-lifestyle influencer is getting roasted online for turning Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad into a therapy session, with a post claiming she feels unattractive because of her skin color — and a repost of it, calling her a 'professional victim,' went viral. 'For me, I can't help but think about the 13-year-old brown girl who gets all of her denim at American Eagle, who already struggles to see her beauty and worth in a world that continues to value white, Eurocentric beauty standards,' said Payal Desai of Medford in an Instagram video on Tuesday. Her clip was reposted on X on Wednesday by media personality Colin Rugg — with the caption, 'The professional victims are relentless' — and it's already racked up 10.6 million views and masses of criticism. 'If your self worth crumbles at the sight of Sydney Sweeney in jeans, I've got news for you: The problem isn't whiteness. It's you,' one X user wrote. 'The American Eagle ad triggered your childhood trauma? Because Sydney Sweeney is blonde and beautiful?' someone else asked. 'Girl, that's not oppression, that's insecurity, and you need to handle that in therapy, not social media. I'm a mixed Latina, and I think she looks absolutely stunning.' 'This was probably just a grift by her to get everyone to tell her she is pretty,' Rugg, who has 1.8 million X followers, added. Desai called the 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' ad campaign 'especially off-putting.' Desai, 39, whose parents are from India, grew up in Allentown, PA, according to NJ Advance Media. In her reactionary post, which garnered 284,000 views on her Instagram page, @payalforstyle and over 88,000 on her TikTok handle, she spoke about her difficulty finding herself pretty in her 'predominantly white community.' 'I really wasn't gonna weigh in on this, but here we go. It is so difficult to grow up as a person of color, specifically a woman, and view yourself as beautiful in any sense of the word growing up in this country,' she began in the video to her 441,000 followers. 'I remember growing up in a predominantly white community wishing myself out of this body, out of this culture. Take my name if it meant that I could wake up blonde-haired and blue-eyed, never having to explain who I am or worry about being accepted. That is why this American Eagle ad with Sydney Sweeney is especially off-putting.' This is not the first time Desai, a former eighth grade teacher who left her job to pursue full-time content creating, has gone viral. In 2023, Desai amassed millions of views for her series on TikTok dubbed 'No Dusty Sons,' where she teaches her two young boys lessons that will one day benefit their future partners. Desai has disabled comments on her now-infamous Instagram post.

WNBA possibly headed to Boston with Sun sale: Everything we know so far
The WNBA may be headed to Boston sooner than expected. A deal has been reached between a group led by Boston Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca and the Mohegan Tribe to buy the Connecticut Sun and move the team to TD Garden by 2027, per the Boston Globe. The purchase would be for $325 million, a record for a women's professional sports franchise, per the Globe. A $100 million practice facility in Boston is reportedly in the works if the deal goes through. "The Boston group is targeting a 2027 move and would potentially play early season games in Providence to avoid any conflict with Bruins and Celtics playoff games," the Globe's Gary Washburn reported. The Sun has played games at TD Garden in the past, including one against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever in July. The possible sale would give one of America's biggest cities a WNBA franchise sooner than expansion sites like Philadelphia, Cleveland and Detroit. However, the sale is pending WNBA approval, and that could get tricky per a key detail in the Globe's report. What could hold up the Boston sale? According to Washburn, the WNBA could eye Boston as a possible expansion site in 2033. That might complicate the sale, but it's also possible the league and its governors go ahead and approve this transaction. The Celtics are reportedly agreeable to the Sun moving into TD Garden, per Washburn. Will the team stay the Sun if the sale is approved? That detail is not yet known, as a potential rebranding is always possible. However, the Boston Sun has a nice ring to it. Could the WNBA force the Sun to stay in Connecticut? It's apparently possible, per Washburn. "A WNBA source said if the league forces the Mohegan Tribe to sell to a Connecticut-based buyer to [keep] the team in the state, which it has the power to do, Mohegan will cooperate, but the Tribe's choice is to sell to the Boston-based group," he wrote. "That source said the Tribe has determined selling the franchise would be the most financially lucrative, and it could then concentrate on running its casino and hotel." What are the problems with the Sun staying where they are? Well, Washburn outlined some of the biggest challenges the Sun faces by staying where the team is. "Mohegan Sun Arena is the league's fourth-smallest venue and the Sun lack a dedicated practice facility, instead conducting workouts at the gym inside the Tribe's community and government center," he wrote. "Often, the Sun are forced to share space with summer camps and other local events." That can lead to a lack of interest for WNBA free agents and dissatisfaction with rostered players. Where will the Sun play in 2026? The team will remain in Connecticut at Mohegan Sun Arena, no matter what happens with this possible sale.
