Vail Resorts Receives Five Board Nominations, Including Olympian — Sep 11, 2026Vail Resorts’ nominations window closed on September 10, 2026, with five shareholder-nominated candidates including Picabo Street and former Disney CEO Robert A. Chapek, plus a self-nomination by Gregory Syvert Meyer. The company will review all candidates, pursue an active search for a new independent director to be completed in early 2027, and publish its recommended slate in the proxy statement, while shareholders are not required to take action at this time.

Priya Raman Chapek's Disney track record might help with marketing but I worry it won't address rising lift ticket prices or local community concerns.

Steelers Elevate DB Amid Porter Uncertainty — Sep 12, 2026Doneiko Slaughter was elevated from the Steelers' practice squad and will be available for Week 1 against the Falcons as Pittsburgh hedges its cornerback depth amid Joey Porter Jr.'s contract uncertainty and a back injury that has him listed questionable. Porter Jr.'s status remains in doubt as the team negotiates a possible extension before kickoff, with questions about whether Slaughter or Porter will contribute in the secondary.

Jared Kim Slaughter should get some reps if Porter's back keeps him out. Depth matters more than the contract mess right now.

Cincinnati rallies twice to earn 3-3 draw with Charlotte — Sep 11, 2026FC Cincinnati and Charlotte FC played to a 3-3 draw, with Denkey scoring twice for Cincinnati and Toklomati delivering a late header for Charlotte after Abada and Biel had put the visitors ahead, as Charlotte extended its unbeaten run to seven games while Cincinnati’s defense struggled. The match was available to stream on Apple TV as part of MLS coverage.

Maya Lindstrom Charlotte's late equalizer shows real fight but they still gave up too many chances early on.

US finalizes up to 249% duties on Indian solar cells — Sep 11, 2026The United States has finalized steep anti-dumping and countervailing duties on solar cells and panels from India, Indonesia and Laos, with India facing AD 123.04% and CVD 126.09% (Indonesia and Laos rates vary up to 173.7% and 153.67% respectively). The USITC will issue a final injury determination on October 14, 2026; if it finds injury, duties would be formally ordered by early November, impacting Indian exporters and potentially prompting shifts to other markets as the investigation concludes.

Elena Vasquez Protecting local industry makes sense, but 249% duties seem extreme and could slow overall clean energy growth.

Three Lions Defenders Remain Limited Before Opener — Sep 8, 2026The Lions’ Week 1 injury report shows three players limited (Derrick Moore, Christian Izien, Mekhi Wingo) but no setbacks, with several others practicing fully and tight end Sam LaPorta appearing healthy for the opener. After an off day, Detroit resumed practice with all 52 players available and coach Dan Campbell praising the offseason upgrades and the team’s competitive focus ahead of the home opener against the Saints.

Orlando City edges San Diego FC in tight Eastern Conference playoff race — Sep 4, 2026Orlando City hosts San Diego FC with Bernardo Rhein returning at fullback and Zakaria Taifi available off the bench, as the Lions line up in a 4-4-2 to counter a San Diego side set in a 4-3-3 under Mikey Varas, in a clash that carries playoff implications and streams exclusively on Apple TV. San Diego have added Cedric Bakambu and enter the match on strong form, while Orlando look to capitalize on home support at Inter&Co Stadium, with predictive content from Data Skrive underscoring fan engagement around the game.

Rachel Meyers Bakambu addition makes San Diego dangerous but Orlando's home form at Inter&Co has been rock solid lately.

UCLA routs Cal 45-24 as Iamaleava's leg injury raises questions — Sep 6, 2026UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava suffered a leg/calf injury late in the win at California but was described by coach Bob Chesney as not serious and expected to be available next week, with his younger brother Madden stepping in briefly. The Bruins still rolled to a 45-24 victory behind Wayne Knight's three rushing touchdowns and a strong rushing load from Anthony Woods, though Iamaleava left the game limping and his status remained a focal point after the matchup.

Derek Foss Good win but the calf injury is the real story here, hope Nico's fine for next week. Woods and Knight carried the load nicely with him banged up.
