The rookies are ready to make some noise!Your official Top 10 list 👀#Madden26Ratings The Madden franchise is one of the premier staples in all of gaming. With Madden NFL 26 coming out soon, players will be sure to notice where they stand with their rankings. One player for the Denver Broncos who won't have to worry about being too low is their first-round rookie, cornerback Jahdae Barron. Fresh from Texas, Barron comes in ranked tied for seventh in terms of rookie ratings at 78 overall. Broncos veteran safety Brandon Jones spoke very highly of the rookie, noting how he's come in with a veteran's presence. Jahdae, he's been really, really good," Jones said at training camp last week. "I might've said this last time, it's hard to realize he's a rookie just because of his mindset and how smart and intelligent he is. He flies around, and he always asks a lot of good questions. ... [He's] super athletic, and he's always around the ball. He's been a super great addition.' Congratulations to Barron on the tremendous honor. Hopefully, based on what Madden's engineers see in him, he can parlay it onto the field this fall. Full ratings will be announced later this week.

Jeff Bezos sells $1.5 billion in Amazon shares: Here's how much he still owns
Jeff Bezos has sold another large chunk of his Amazon holdings, just days before the company's Q2 earnings announcement on 31 July. A total of 6.6 million shares, valued at roughly $1.5 billion, were sold on 21 and 22 July. The transactions were disclosed in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as reported by Barron's. The sale was carried out under a prearranged trading plan known as Rule 10b5-1 .

Do This Every Morning Wellnee Undo How rule 10b5-1 Works Rule 10b5-1 is a regulation from the SEC that allows company insiders to set up a trading plan in advance for buying or selling shares. This rule provides a legal safeguard against accusations of insider trading. These plans only work if they're created and executed in good faith, and long before the insider has access to any material non-public information. Live Events 'Insiders use the plans, which automatically execute trades when preset conditions, such as price, volume, and timing, are met, to remove the appearance that they might benefit from their access to nonpublic information,' according to Barron's. The rule itself is meant to clarify a broader anti-fraud provision under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, known as Rule 10b-5. More sales on the horizon Bezos is far from done. According to the same SEC filing, the Amazon founder still holds 4.6 million shares, valued at around $1 billion, and has outlined plans to sell up to 25 million shares by 29 May 2026. The filing refers to this as a plan 'intended to satisfy Rule 10b5-1(c)'. As Barron's put it plainly: 'Bezos isn't done.' This is his fourth such trading plan in the past 18 months. A steady offload since June Bezos has been selling shares aggressively in recent weeks. Since his wedding in late June, he's sold nearly $5.7 billion worth of Amazon stock. Earlier this month alone, he offloaded shares worth $737 million. These sales are part of a broader trend. In total, Bezos has now sold 95 million Amazon shares across 2024 and 2025, totalling $18.2 billion. Since 2002, his total cashouts have exceeded $50 billion. In contrast, Bezos has only bought Amazon stock once on record: a single share two years ago at $114.77. Still holding a stake, still giving it away Despite the recent sell-off, Bezos still owns a sizeable chunk of Amazon. His remaining shares are valued at approximately $232 billion. Alongside selling, he's been donating. Over 2024 and 2025, Bezos gave away 4.5 million shares to charity, with a combined value of about $1 billion. This latest sale lands just ahead of Amazon's Q2 earnings announcement. Analysts expect the company to report earnings of $1.32 per share and revenue of $162 billion. That's an increase of 4 percent and 9 percent, respectively, compared to the same quarter last year. However, Amazon's performance is still trailing behind other big tech firms in the so-called 'Magnificent Seven'. According to market forecasts, Meta, Microsoft and Nvidia are leading the S&P 500 growth into 2025. Apple is lagging, primarily due to uncertainty around its AI strategy. Bezos's stock sales, while substantial, fit a well-documented pattern. He's gradually pulling back his personal stake while funding new ventures and philanthropic projects, using a legally sound structure that limits any speculation of insider advantage.

What is Barron Trump's NYU Stern tuition cost? For the Trumps, just a drop in a $6 billion ocean
Since enrolling at New York University last fall, Barron Trump has found himself under a curious kind of spotlight. Being the youngest child of Donald Trump, his every move draws attention. Barron Trump, now a student at NYU's Stern School, faces a unique college experience due to his father's wealth and constant Secret Service presence. (AP Photo/Marta Lavandier)(AP) Donald Trump recently spoke with the Daily Mail about Barron's college decision. He shared that his son had options, but they chose the Stern School of Business at NYU. 'He's a very smart guy, and he'll be going to Stern, the business school, which is a great school at N.Y.U.,' Trump said. 'I went to Wharton, and that was certainly one that we were considering. We didn't do that. We went for Stern,' he added. ALSO READ| Barron Trump and Sasha Obama: Are the dating rumors true? 'We liked NYU. I've known NYU for a long time, it's one of the highest-rated,' Trump said, referring to the QS Global MBA Rankings 2025, which placed Stern 11th in the U.S. and 17th globally. In front of Trump's net worth, Barron's tuition fees is just a footnote There was a 25 per cent acceptance rate for the MBA Class of 2026, and only 352 students went full-time. Just the tuition will set you back $86,916, and when you add in the costs of books, housing, etc., the price is well over $100,000 the first year, per the Stern MBA website. While many students rely on scholarships to manage the steep fees, Barron won't need one. Thanks to Trump's estimated net worth of over $6 billion, which has fluctuated dramatically over the past year, from $2.5 billion in early 2024 to a post-election high of $6.5 billion. Classmates describe Barron as an 'oddity,' largely due to the Secret Service presence that surrounds him at all times. One of Barron's friends at Oxbridge Academy told The Daily Mail earlier that the youngest Trump does not eat lunch altogether. ALSO READ| NYU professor says Barron Trump 'doesn't belong' as he nears end of first semester 'Barron always went to the lunchroom to sit with his friends, but he never ate any lunch. He never specifically said why, just that he would wait until he got home to eat. It was a little unusual,' the friend shared.
