Ravens Coach Reacts to Star QB Acting Debut
The former Louisville Cardinals quarterback won the Heisman Trophy before being drafted by the Ravens with the final pick of the first round in 2018. While he's had a measure of success with his college career, he could be in store for an acting career when he hangs up his cleats - whenever that may be.

Jackson won the Heisman Trophy during his senior season at Louisville, then notched two NFL MVP honors as a member of the Ravens.
Ravens coach Jim Harbaugh revealed ahead of the episode that he was looking forward to it, and saw a familiar look on Jackson's face in the preview.
"I am looking forward to it," Harbaugh told reporters. "You know, that facial expression in that clip, I've seen that look before. He's looked at me that way a couple times, it's a tough look right there. He's got the face of an actor, man.
"We just don't need him to get too excited about the acting too early, let's finish the football first. But I know he feels that way."

After the experience, Jackson gave credit to all the actors and actresses who do that on a full-time basis.
"I tip my hats off to those actors and actresses because man, that's a different type of world,'' he said. "Not just football — putting on pads and going out there and doing something physical — you got to really memorize and articulate your words and do something this way just to make the scene much better. A lot goes into it, so I tip my hats off."

USWNT revives set piece dominance with 3-0 win over continental rival Canada
The third and final match for the U.S. women's national team in its busy window, and arguably its toughest test against continental opponents Canada, ended with their third consecutive victory. The USWNT sealed a 3-0 victory at Audi Field in Washington, DC in front of a sold-out crowd Tuesday evening. Goals from midfielders Sam Coffey and Claire Hutton opened the scoring in the first half; both were results of set pieces delivered by the third midfielder in their lineup, Rose Lavelle. Second half substitutes Yazmeen Ryan and Tara McKeown combined in the second half to bring the U.S. up to three. Advertisement Coffey's 17th-minute goal was her third in the last five games for the U.S., and Hutton's, a head nod off a corner kick in the 36th minute, was her first for the U.S. senior team. Fifty-three minutes later, McKeown, who was very much at home in Audi field where she plays for the Washington Spirit, carried the ball confidently forward before releasing it to Ryan. After wresting herself from pressure near the top of the penalty box, Ryan unleashed a left-footed shot past Canadian goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan, the final blow to the Canadians, who are currently ranked eighth in the world. The U.S. victory caps off two 4-0 wins against the Republic of Ireland in Commerce City, Colorado, and Cincinnati, Ohio, last Thursday and Sunday, respectively. Across the three fixtures, the USWNT scored 11 goals and conceded none, all while head coach Emma Hayes has employed a heavy rotation of players throughout this international window. The team's starting XI for its second meeting with Ireland was a completely different lineup from the first. The lineup for Tuesday's match against Canada, however, was nearly identical to last Thursday's, except for 32-year-old striker Lynn Biyendolo, the most capped forward with 83 appearances, replacing 21-year-old Ally Sentnor. Advertisement The opening minutes of the match saw the U.S. on the front foot against a Canadian side that was organized and steely and under new head coach and former San Diego Wave manager, Casey Stoney. Goalkeeper Claudia Dickey, who earned her second start and second cap, made a critical save against her Seattle Reign teammate Jordyn Huitema to maintain a first-half shutout. As the game wore on and the U.S. tightened its grip, exploiting the flanks with slicing balls through and over the top to wingers Alyssa Thompson and Michelle Cooper, Canada began to crumble. The margins were exacerbated by the sticky D.C. heat; the game kicked off at 7:30 p.m., and temperatures were still in the mid-80s. The humidity made it feel like 90 degrees for the 19,215 in attendance. Hayes continued to make changes in the second half, bringing on Sentnor and forward Emma Sears for Lavelle and Cooper, and Ryan and Sam Meza for Biyendolo and Hutton, respectively. Meza, along with defender Lilly Reale, who started and played the whole game, are two of the three young players called in to this camp from the under-23 group, a move reflecting part of Hayes' larger project to develop both national teams. Advertisement Convincing win aside, the U.S.'s performance was not without its critiques. At halftime, Hutton pointed out on the TNT broadcast that the team looked 'a bit messy' at times, and that they needed to play quicker, smarter, and score more goals in the second. TNT sideline reporter Melissa Ortiz also relayed early in the second half that there were issues with the midfield rotation and that Reale needed to push up higher. The next set of USWNT matches for its window in October are yet to be announced, but the trio of victories have provided ample studying notes for Hayes as younger and less experienced players made their cases to be included in the core group Hayes wants to identify as they build toward the 2027 World Cup in Brazil.

Detroit Tigers' Riley Greene, Javier Báez and Gleyber Torres voted All-Star Game starters
Detroit Tigers stars Riley Greene, Javier Báez and Gleyber Torres were named to the American League All-Star team after fan voting on Wednesday. It is the first time since 2007 that the Tigers have had three players elected to start. Torres will start at second base, and Greene and Báez will start in the outfield. If pitcher Tarik Skubal is named to the team, four of the eight defensive players on the field will be from Detroit. Greene made his All-Star debut last year as a reserve. In the 2025 season, he has accumulated 21 home runs, two of which came on Wednesday during the doubleheader with the Washington Nationals. Greene was drafted fifth overall by the Tigers in 2019 and made his MLB debut after playing on the Tigers' minor league affiliates. Báez, who was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in 2011, joined the Tigers in 2021. After playing in the minor leagues from 2011 to 2014, Báez made his debut with the Cubs in 2014. He was traded to the New York Nets in the middle of the 2021 season before he signed with the Tigers months later. Báez made his MLB debut in Detroit in the 2022 season. Greene and Báez became the first Tigers outfield duo selected to start in the All-Star Game since Ron LeFlore and Rusty Staub in 1976. Torres, who signed a one-year contract as a free agent with the Tigers, was selected as a reserve in 2018 and 2019 when he played for the New York Yankees. Torres signed with the Cubs in 2013 as a non-drafted free agent and was later traded to the Yankees in 2016, playing for a minor league affiliate. He made his MLB debut in 2018 and appeared in the World Series for the first time in 2024. Note: The video above previously aired on June 17, 2025.

Miley Cyrus Gets Emotional About Hollywood Walk of Fame Star
Miley Cyrus Gets Emotional About Hollywood Walk of Fame Star originally appeared on Parade. It's a "Party in the USA" because singer and Disney Channel actress Miley Cyrus received some exciting news. It was announced that the 32-year-old will be receiving a star on Los Angeles' iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame in a press conference that took place on Wednesday morning. First installed in 1960, these stars are monuments to achievement in the entertainment industry, honoring the industry's best musicians, actors, producers, directors, theatrical/musical groups, athletes, fictional characters and more. Other honorees in the Hollywood Walk of Fame Class of 2026 include Josh Groban, The Clark Sisters, Emily Blunt, Timothée Chalamet, Demi Moore, Shaquille O'Neal and more. The Disney Channel starlet went to X to post her gratitude for the honor. "Honored to be receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. When I first came to LA from Nashville as a little girl, my family would stay at a hotel on Hollywood Blvd, and I would go on late night walks with my dad when no one would recognize him. We'd have the gift shops to ourselves & buy knock off Oscars and Marilyn Monroe merchandise," Cyrus wrote. "To now be cemented on this legendary boulevard, surrounded by the icons who inspired me, feels like a dream. This moment will live forever, thank you to everyone in my life who made it possible. I am grateful to share this star with you." Cyrus has made a lasting impact on both television and music. She rose to fame on Disney Channel's hit TV show Hannah Montana, where she played a teen living a double life as a pop star, and inspired a generation of young viewers. After her Disney years, she broke into music. From her pop hits like 'Wrecking Ball' and 'Midnight Sky,' Cyrus has continually reinvented herself over the past two decades. Last year, Cyrus earned her first two Grammy awards, Best Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year, for her hit song "Flowers." She has consistently used her platform for good and has always been an advocate for self-expression. Throughout her career, she evolved from a teen idol to a wonderful performer. Whether she is covering rock classics, releasing pop hits or performing emotional ballads, Cyrus has always brought that sense of honesty that has resonated with her fans all of these years. Honorees are selected by a committee from hundreds of nominations submitted each year, and recipients must agree to attend the ceremony and pay a sponsorship fee. Individual star ceremony dates are typically announced at a later time, and the honorees have up to two years to schedule their ceremonies.
