AROUND THE STAND

Spain just knocked the U.S. off its perch in FIFA’s women’s world rankings, reclaiming the top spot despite losing to England in the European Championship final. The U.S., once untouchable after its Olympic gold in Paris, is now playing catch-up. A wave of hungry European teams is gaining ground fast. For a program built on dominance, the view from second place is unfamiliar.

In Houston, trouble is already showing up in pads. Texans safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson went down with what could be a serious leg injury during a scrimmage, sending ripples through a defense many expected to be top-tier this season. After a March trade brought him in to tighten the secondary, Houston may now be scrambling for Plan B just weeks before the season starts.

Katy Perry bled on stage. Literally. Midway through a high-octane show on her Lifetimes World Tour, Perry rushed to help a young fan who fainted near the front row. The rescue left her with a bloodied knee and a wave of viral sympathy. Between motherhood, legal drama, and those eyebrow-raising headlines linking her to Justin Trudeau, Perry is still managing to blend pop spectacle with real-world grit.

And in a twist no one asked for, Diddy’s lead attorney is shutting down any talk of a Trump pardon, firmly denying that anyone from their camp reached out to the former president. Trump isn’t exactly rushing to help either, pointing to Combs’ past criticism and legal baggage, including two convictions tied to prostitution. For now, the pardon rumor joins the growing list of headlines circling both men.

Finally, Charles Oliveira is coming home. The former UFC champ is set to headline UFC Fight Night in Rio on October 11, marking his first fight in Brazil in nearly six years. Across the cage is Rafael Fiziev, a rising lightweight looking to climb back into contention. For Oliveira, it is a shot at redemption after his title loss. For fans in Rio, it is long overdue.
