'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."

Justin Timberlake reveals Lyme disease diagnosis. What are the signs and symptoms, and what other tick-borne illnesses can you get?
The 44-year-old singer reflected on how the condition can be "relentlessly debilitating" after recently finishing his world tour. Justin Timberlake is opening up about his recent diagnosis with Lyme disease. The 44-year-old singer shared on social media Thursday that he's been "battling some health issues," as he reflected on the end of his two-year world tour. "As many of you know, I'm a pretty private person. But as I'm reflecting on the tour and festival tour, I want to tell you a little bit about what's going on with me," the "SexyBack" artist penned in an Instagram post, adding he wants to shed light on what he's been facing behind the scenes. "If you've experienced this disease or know someone who has — then you're aware: Living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically." This article is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Contact a qualified medical professional before engaging in any physical activity, or making any changes to your diet, medication or lifestyle. The American entertainer continued his candid statement, explaining he was initially shocked when he first received news he had the tick-borne illness: "But at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness." Timberlake started his "The Forget Tomorrow World Tour" on April 29, 2024, in Vancouver, and finished the tour this past February until he extended with more shows followed by a final performance on July 30. In his post, he shared he considered halting the tour altogether amid his diagnosis, but ultimately decided to continue performing. "I was reluctant to talk about this because I was always raised to keep something like this to yourself. But I am trying to be more transparent about my struggles so that they aren't misinterpreted," he wrote. "Sharing all of this with the hope that we can all find a way to be more connected. I'd like to do my part to help others experiencing this disease too." Tick season has been treading along this summer, and thousands of Canadians are diagnosed with Lyme disease each year. The Public Health Agency of Canada has noted that in 2024, there have been more than 5,200 new cases of the tick-borne illness. The pesky critters can be a nuisance for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. From the dangers of Lyme disease to rising cases of anaplasmosis in Canada, it's a good idea to understand some of the tick-borne illnesses you — or even your beloved pet — could contract if you're spending any time outside this summer. Scroll below to read more about ailments like Lyme disease, anaplasmosis and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Lyme disease What ticks carry it Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi, which is spread through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks. For most people, Lyme disease is contracted from a nymphs, which are about the size of poppy seeds, or adult female ticks, which are roughly the same size as sesame seeds. Health Canada indicates these ticks must be attached for at least 24 hours in order to transmit the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. However, it's worth noting not all blacklegged ticks are infected. They'll only carry the bacteria after feeding on infected animals, including birds and rodents. Signs and symptoms of Lyme disease Oftentimes, Lyme disease symptoms can be mistaken for the flu. Within the first three to 30 days after a bite from an infected tick, a person might suffer a fever, chills, headache, swollen lymph nodes, muscle aches and fatigue. Luckily, you might be able to decipher if it's Lyme disease by looking out for a rash — called Erythema migrans — that often develops at the site of the tick bite. These occur in roughly 70 to 80 per cent of infections, typically a week after infection. This rash might grow up to 12 inches in size and may feel warm or hot to the touch. Eventually, symptoms might progress to include a severe headache and neck stiffness, as well as more rashes on other parts of the body. Other symptoms might include facial palsy, arthritis, nerve pain, dizziness, heart palpitations, shooting pains or tingling in the hands or feet as well as short-term memory problems. Where it's most prevalent in Canada Due to climate change, blacklegged ticks are spreading to new parts of Canada. Moreover, it's not impossible to encounter one of theses ticks outside of where it's known to live. The federal government's Lyme disease risk map indicates these ticks live in a few provinces, typically in southern zones. Nova Scotia and southern New Brunswick are considered risk areas; parts of southern Manitoba are also included, including Winnipeg, Brandon and Dauphin. Vancouver Island and southern British Columbia are also hot spot areas, including areas like Kelowna, Kamloops and Vancouver. In Ontario and Quebec, these ticks might be living in the southern parts of those provinces, including Montreal, the Greater Toronto Area and Ottawa. They might also be found in Thunder Bay and Kenora in Western Ontario, as well. Anaplasmosis What ticks carry it Like Lyme disease, anaplasmosis is spread by infected blacklegged ticks. However, the human version of this condition is caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Sometimes, anaplasmosis might be called human granulocytic anaplasmosis, or HGA. Signs and symptoms of anaplasmosis Anaplasmosis typically presents symptoms similar to that of the flu. But unlike Lyme disease, people who contract this ailment usually won't develop a rash. Sometimes, it can even be asymptomatic. The National Collaborating Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCCID) indicates fever, chills, headache, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and loss of appetite might be symptoms of anaplasmosis. Symptoms typically start within a week or two of a tick bite. If you don't get treatment, more severe symptoms like seizures or confusion might arise. More serious issues might also arise for people who are older than age 50 and for those who are immunocompromised. Where it's most prevalent in Canada Anaplasmosis is spread by infected blacklegged ticks, meaning the same areas where Lyme disease is a concern will also be a concern for this illness. But Central and Eastern Canada are predominantly areas of concern. According to the NCCID, the first locally recorded case in Canada was in an Alberta resident in 2009, whereas Ontario only reported its first case in 2018. While risk levels across the country are relatively low, it continues to increase. Babesiosis What ticks carry it Babesiosis is also carried by blacklegged ticks that are infected with the parasite Babesia, including Babesia microti, Babesia duncani or Babesia divergens. Cases of the tick-borne infection are considered rare, but it's considered emerging, which means the number of cases has increased in recent years. Signs and symptoms of babesiosis Babesiosis symptoms are similar to that of the flu, according to Cleveland Clinic, and they typically begin one to four weeks after exposure. These symptoms may include: High fever Fatigue Chills Sweating Headache Muscle or joint aches Loss of appetite Cough However, around a quarter of people with babesiosis don't have symptoms. Moreover, this illness doesn't create a rash. Immunocompromised people and anyone who's older is at greater risk of severe illness, which might come with symptoms like jaundice, pale skin, darker urine, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain or sudden mood changes. Where it's most prevalent in Canada Until recently, babesiosis wasn't found in Canada. But as blacklegged ticks spread to provinces like Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia amid climate change and migratory birds, this illness is coming with them. The best way to avoid contracting this ailment is to avoid getting bitten by blacklegged ticks. Bartonellosis What ticks carry it Bartonellosis, often known as cat scratch fever, is an infection caused by several species of Bartonella bacteria. There are around 15 species that are known to cause the illness in humans. Luckily, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes there is no evidence that humans can contract bartonellosis from ticks. Instead, people might get it from fleas, lice, sand flies or from an infected animal, typically a cat. Bartonella has been found in several tick species, including blacklegged ticks, Lone Star ticks and Pacific Coast ticks, causing an issue for pets. Signs and symptoms of bartonellosis In humans, common bartonellosis symptoms include fever, chills, weakness, body aches, loss of appetite, headaches and swollen lymph nodes. These symptoms may appear days or weeks after exposure, and a mild infection typically goes away on its own in two to four months. Most cases of bartonellosis are mild, but it's possible some species can cause more severe illness. More serious symptoms, which are often seen in people who are immunocompromised, include arthritis, enlarged liver and spleen, nervousness, pneumonia, eye inflammation, and weight loss. Where it's most prevalent in Canada Since bartonella infections are typically transmitted to humans by cat scratches or, rarely, dog bites, it's technically quite prevalent across the country. However, the NCCID notes Canada has only seen eight cases of the illness caused by the Bartonella quintana species since the mid-1990s. Ehrlichiosis What ticks carry it Ehrlichiosis is most commonly caused by a bacteria called Ehrlichia chaffeensis. Although common, ehrlichiosis is spread to humans by blacklegged and lone star ticks, according to the CDC. Signs and symptoms of ehrlichiosis Like the other tick-borne diseases, ehrlichiosis symptoms often begin one to two weeks within a tick bite. Some people might remain asymptomatic, while people who are immunocompromised might see more severe cases. Ehrlichiosis symptoms include: Fever Chills Severe headache Muscle aches Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea Cough Fatigue Joint pain Red eyes Rash Where it's most prevalent in Canada While blacklegged ticks might be able to transmit ehrlichiosis, it's more common to get the illness from a lone star tick. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), these ticks have been found in Alberta, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan. Powassan virus What ticks carry it Powassan virus is a rare disease, but it's still contracted by tick bites. Blacklegged ticks are the main culprit of this illness, but in rare cases, groundhog and squirrel ticks can transmit Powassan virus. Signs and symptoms of Powassan virus After a bite from an infected tick, Powassan virus symptoms might appear anywhere between one and four weeks. Common symptoms include fever and headaches, which can be followed by vomiting, fatigue, confusion, seizures, difficulty speaking or paralysis. While many people don't have symptoms with Powassan virus, it can also lead to encephalitis. This brain swelling can lead to permanent neurological conditions, like memory issues and paralysis, and it can even be fatal. Where it's most prevalent in Canada The disease was named after Powassan, Ont., which is where the first case of the illness was identified in 1958. On top of where blacklegged ticks are found, groundhog ticks have been spotted in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and the Atlantic provinces. Squirrel ticks, which often don't bite humans, have been found in all of those areas except for Manitoba, according to the PHAC. Rocky Mountain spotted fever What ticks carry it Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is spread by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii. It's a serious tick-borne illness that's spread by the Rocky Mountain wood tick and the American dog tick, BC Centre for Disease Control states. Signs and symptoms of Rocky Mountain spotted fever Early symptoms of RMSF include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, muscle pain and loss of appetite. Moreover, a rash is a common sign of RMSF that typically develops two to four days after a fever begins. The CDC states the rash's appearance may change over the course of the illness, oftentimes appearing late in the infection. Where it's most prevalent in Canada Rocky Mountain wood ticks are most commonly found in southern Alberta and British Columbia. However, they're also increasingly spotted in southwestern Saskatchewan. On the other hand, American dog ticks are established in parts of southcentral and southeastern Canada.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown discusses dealing with anxiety, depression: ‘I've been to some very dark places'
Jaylen Brown will be in a different kind of spotlight heading into a new season — but when given the chance this week he turned that spotlight on an issue a lot of people are dealing with, mental health struggles. In an honest and candid interview with the School of Hard Knocks and posted on Instagram, Brown opened up about his struggles with mental health. 'I've dealt with anxiety, even depression. I've been to some very dark places. But I feel like those dark places have allowed my light to shine.' Brown joins a growing list of current and former players who have talked about their struggles with mental health as players. That includes DeMar DeRozan and Kevin Love, who have been at the forefront of the discussion. Brown was asked for his advice for people who feel like they are at rock bottom. 'I would say it's okay. Never let anyone break your spirit. Everybody is going to deal with adversity at some point... Even plants struggle to get sunlight.' Brown also credited his faith in helping him deal with issues. Brown's role with the Celtics will change this year. He is a four-time All-Star and NBA Finals MVP who was critical in helping the Celtics hang banner No. 18. However, with Jayson Tatum out for most or all of next season with a torn Achilles, Brown becomes the No. 1 option and the guy at the top of the scouting report, and that will be different. The Celtics, as currently constructed, will not be a contender next season, as management prioritizes saving money against the luxury tax with plans to retool and come back strong when Tatum returns at full strength in the 2026-27 season.
