Jakarta -

Drama yang awalnya dibuka sendiri oleh Clara Shinta kini justru berbalik arah. Alih-alih mendapat simpati penuh, ia malah menghadapi somasi bernilai fantastis dari sosok yang sempat ia bongkar ke publik.

Nama Clara Shinta sebelumnya ramai diperbincangkan usai mengungkap dugaan video call nakal yang melibatkan perempuan bernama Indah Rahmadani. Namun di tengah upayanya menenangkan diri dari polemik yang meluas, sebuah kejutan datang.

Ia mengaku menerima surat somasi dari pihak Indah-sesuatu yang sama sekali tidak ia duga sebelumnya.

"Pada saat saya menenangkan diri, mencoba mencerna semua ini, saya meng-update Instagram itu hanya sebagian kecil langkah untuk tetap saya melanjutkan hidup. Saya tidak mau terpuruk. Pada saat sore hari, saya mendapatkan surat somasi dari pihak Indah. Sebelumnya apakah ada langkah hukum yang saya ambil? Tidak, sebenarnya," kata Clara di Jakarta Selatan, Selasa (14/3).

Awalnya, Clara mengira tindakannya mengunggah dugaan video call tersebut sudah cukup menjadi hukuman sosial bagi pihak yang ia anggap terlibat. Namun realitas berkata lain. Alih-alih berhenti di sana, konflik justru semakin melebar ke ranah hukum.

"Saya menyadari bahwa saya manusia biasa. Yang saya lakukan dengan mempublikasikan tindak asusila ini, saya rasa sudah cukup untuk menjadi sanksi sosial dan hukuman yang sangat berat untuk saudari Indah," ujarnya.

Tak lama setelah itu, Clara menerima tuntutan yang membuat situasi semakin pelik. Indah disebut merasa dirugikan secara psikis dan profesional akibat unggahan tersebut, hingga melayangkan somasi dengan nilai yang tidak main-main.

"Tapi ternyata saya mendapatkan perlawanan dari saudari Indah. Saya mendapatkan surat somasi dengan permintaan penggantian ganti rugi atas psikisnya yang terganggu," bebernya.

Jumlah yang diminta dalam somasi tersebut juga terbilang bikin mencengangkan.

"Psikisnya dan terganggunya pekerjaan saudari Indah dengan nilai yang cukup fantastis, Rp10,7 miliar. Jadi di sini saya dituntut untuk mengganti rugi hal tersebut," lanjut Clara.

Meski mengakui bahwa unggahannya menjadi pemicu tuntutan tersebut, Clara menegaskan bahwa dirinya tidak akan bertindak sejauh itu jika tidak merasa ada pelanggaran yang terjadi lebih dulu.

"Saya menyadari adanya tindakan untuk mengganti rugi tersebut muncul karena tindakan saya mem-posting. Namun, saya juga tidak akan mem-posting sesuatu kalau tidak ada tindak kejahatan yang terjadi pada postingan sebelumnya. Saya tidak membutuhkan viral dengan kasus ini," jelasnya.

Di tengah tekanan yang datang bertubi-tubi, Clara memilih untuk menarik diri sementara dari berbagai aktivitas profesional. Ia mengaku ingin fokus menghadapi situasi yang sedang dihadapinya.

"Saya berempati terhadap diri saya untuk tidak mengambil kerja sama apa pun dengan timing yang masih berdekatan dengan kasus ini, kecuali tanggung jawab pekerjaan sebelumnya," katanya.

Di balik semua itu, ada sisi personal yang tak kalah berat. Sebagai seorang istri, Clara mengungkapkan perasaan yang mungkin dirasakan banyak perempuan dalam situasi serupa.

"Nggak ada satupun istri yang rela melihat suaminya menonton ada perempuan yang bertelanjang di depan dia. Dan saya menyadari kesalahan ini bukan hanya terjadi pada saudari Indah, itu juga terjadi pada suami saya," ungkapnya.

Kasus ini pun berkembang menjadi lebih kompleks dari sekadar viral di media sosial. Bukan hanya soal moral, tetapi juga berpotensi masuk ke ranah hukum yang serius.

Di balik geger video call tersebut, muncul satu realita yang tak bisa dihindari yakni di era digital, satu unggahan bisa menjadi bumerang dan konsekuensinya tak selalu bisa dikendalikan.

Hashira merupakan deretan pendekar pedang terkuat di Demon Slayer yang memiliki teknik pernapasan mematikan. Mereka juga punya kemampuan luar biasa saat membasmi iblis, membuat para Hashira menjadi kekuatan yang patut diperhitungkan.

Para Hashira memiliki teknik pernapasan yang berbeda-beda, tentunya dengan kekuatan yang juga berbeda satu sama lain. Teknik terbaik para Hashira pun digunakan untuk menghadapi para iblis kuat tergabung sebagai Iblis Bulan.

Berikut merupakan deretan teknik pernapasan Hashira terkuat di Demon Slayer yang membuat mereka bisa menghadapi iblis kuat dengan mudah.

1. Love Breathing, Fifth Form: Swaying Love, Wildclaw (Mitsuri Kanroji)

Mitsuri Kanroji dikenal sebagai salah satu Hashira dengan teknik pernapasan unik, yakni Pernapasan Cinta alias Love Breathing. Teknik kuat ini membuat Mitsuri berhasil memojokkan Hantengu saat mereka bertarung di Desa Penempa Pedang.

Teknik kelima dari Love Breathing berhasil membuat Hantengu yang merupakan Iblis Bulan peringkat keempat terpojok. Padahal, Hantengu punya kekuatan untuk membelah diri sehingga sulit dikalahkan.

Ketika Mitsuri menggunakan teknik ini, ia akan melukai musuh dengan gerakan cepat dari pedangnya yang memiliki bentuk unik mirip cambuk. Teknik ini juga memanfaatkan tubuh Mitsuri yang lentur, membuat musuh kesulitan untuk menghadapi Mitsuri.

2. Wind Breathing, Ninth Form: Idaten Typhoon (Sanemi Shinazugawa)

Meski kekuatan Sanemi sebagai Hashira belum banyak dieksplorasi pada versi anime Demon Slayer, sosoknya sebagai Hashira Angin tidak boleh diragukan. Teknik pernapasan angin alias Wind Breathing Sanemi mampu membuat iblis kuat kewalahan.

Teknik Sanemi memanfaatkan terpaan angin kuat yang agresif hingga musuh merasakan sakit yang luar biasa saat ditebas oleh sang Hashira. Kekuatan luar biasa Sanemi pun sempat ditampilkan di episode perdana arc Hashira Training.

Kekuatan penuh Sanemi nantinya bisa disaksikan pada arc Infinity Castle, di mana ia akan menggunakan teknik terkuat miliknya, Idaten Typhoon. Sanemi bahkan berhasil memukul mundur Muzan Kibutsuji dengan teknik ini.

3. Insect Breathing, Dance of the Centipede: Hundred-Legged Zigzag (Shinobu Kocho)

Shinobu selalu merasa rendah diri terhadap Hashira lain karena tubuhnya yang kecil sehingga kekuatan fisiknya lebih lemah. Meski demikian, keahliannya soal racun membuat Shinobu tetap menjadi kekuatan yang harus diperhitungkan.

Ia menggunakan pedang dengan bentuk unik untuk menggunakan racun yang membuat iblis terkuat sekali pun merasa kewalahan. Lewat pertarungan melawan Doma yang merupakan Iblis Bulan kedua, Shinobu menampilkan teknik terkuat dengan Pernapasan Serangga miliknya.

Teknik ini menampilkan Shinobu dengan gerakan yang cepat bak serangga dengan seribu tangan hingga membuat Doma yang merupakan iblis terkuat kedua di Iblis Bulan terpojok.

4. Stone Breathing, Fifth Form: Arcs of Justice (Gyomei Himejima)

Kekuatan Gyomei Himejima belum terlihat sepenuhnya di versi anime Demon Slayer, tapi bagi pembaca manga, Gyomei dikenal sebagai Hashira Batu dengan kekuatan yang tak bisa diremehkan.

Pada versi anime, Gyomei menampilkan kekuatan fisik yang luar biasa bahkan tanpa perlu menggunakan teknik pernapasan khusus. Arc Infinity Castle menjadi waktu bagi Gyomei untuk mengeluarkan teknik terkuat miliknya.

Gyomei menggunakan pedang unik miliknya untuk mengeluarkan gerakan kelima Stone Breathing, yakni Arcs of Justice. Teknik yang digunakan untuk melawan Kokushibo ini berhasil membuat Iblis Bulan peringkat pertama itu terpukul mundur.

Satu gerakan ini telah menobatkan Gyomei Himejima sebagai Hashira terkuat yang nyaris tidak terkalahkan.

5. Flame Breathing, Ninth Form: Rengoku

Kyojuro Rengoku menggunakan Flame Breathing untuk melawan Akaza seorang diri. Gerakan kesembilan yang menggunakan namanya sendiri, Rengoku, berhasil membuat Akaza kewalahan.

Meski Kyojuro berakhir mengenaskan, teknik pernapasannya yang luar biasa menuai pujian dari Akaza, peringkat ketiga dari Iblis Bulan. Akaza bahkan tanpa ragu mengajak Kyojuro untuk bergabung menjadi iblis karena kekuatannya yang luar biasa.

Kekuatan Kyojuro membuat banyak penggemar mengenangnya sebagai sosok Hashira kuat yang hatinya tak pernah tergoyahkan.

Tren kecantikan terus berkembang, dan kini muncul pendekatan baru yang disebut longevity beauty. Berbeda dari tren sebelumnya yang fokus pada hasil instan, konsep ini lebih menekankan kesehatan kulit dalam jangka panjang.

Dilansir dari Female Daily, longevity beauty adalah pendekatan dalam skincare yang fokus pada menjaga kesehatan kulit dalam jangka panjang, bukan sekadar memperbaiki tampilan secara instan.

Artinya, tujuan utama bukan hanya kulit glowing sesaat, tetapi kulit yang tetap kuat, seimbang, dan berfungsi optimal seiring waktu. Konsep ini juga sejalan dengan perubahan cara pandang terhadap penuaan. Jika dulu istilah anti-aging terasa dominan, kini pendekatannya mulai bergeser.

Longevity beauty justru mengajak setiap wanita untuk menerima proses penuaan sebagai hal alami, sambil tetap merawat kulit secara lebih sadar. Fokusnya bukan melawan usia, melainkan menjaga kualitas kulit agar tetap sehat di setiap fase kehidupan.

Longevity beauty muncul karena perubahan besar di industri skincare yang kini lebih masuk dalam pendekatan berbasis sains terutama yang berkaitan dengan kesehatan sel dan regenerasi kulit.

Dilansir dari ELLE, konsep ini bahkan diringkas dengan gagasan bahwa kulit akan terlihat lebih baik ketika kulit bekerja lebih baik dari dalam.

Artinya, perawatan tidak lagi sekadar menutupi masalah di permukaan, tetapi memperbaiki fungsi kulit dari dalam.

Selain itu, kesadaran akan pencegahan juga meningkat. Banyak orang mulai memahami bahwa menjaga kulit sejak awal jauh lebih efektif dibanding memperbaiki kerusakan yang sudah terjadi.

Kebiasaan seperti menjaga skin barrier, rutin memakai sunscreen, hingga melindungi kulit dari radikal bebas menjadi semakin penting.

Menariknya, tren ini juga memperlihatkan bahwa batas antara beauty dan wellness semakin tipis. Kondisi kulit tidak hanya dipengaruhi oleh produk skincare, tetapi juga gaya hidup sehari-hari.

Faktor seperti kualitas tidur, tingkat stres, hingga pola makan ikut berperan besar dalam kesehatan kulit. Karena itu, longevity beauty hadir sebagai pendekatan yang lebih holistik-menggabungkan perawatan dari luar dan dalam secara bersamaan.

Perbedaan utama longevity beauty terletak pada fokusnya yang lebih dalam, bahkan hingga ke level sel. Seiring bertambahnya usia, kulit mengalami berbagai perubahan biologis, seperti penurunan produksi kolagen dan melambatnya regenerasi sel.

Salah satu konsep yang sering dibahas adalah senescent cells atau zombie cells, yaitu sel yang sudah tidak berfungsi optimal tetapi tetap bertahan dan mempercepat proses penuaan.

Karena itu, pendekatan longevity beauty tidak hanya memperbaiki tampilan luar, tetapi juga mendukung sistem di dalam kulit agar tetap bekerja optimal.

Hal ini biasanya dilakukan dengan penggunaan bahan seperti antioksidan, peptide, dan retinol yang membantu melindungi kulit sekaligus mendukung regenerasi. Namun berbeda dari tren sebelumnya, pendekatan ini lebih menekankan penggunaan yang gentle dan konsisten.

Longevity beauty juga mendorong rutinitas skincare yang lebih sederhana. Alih-alih menggunakan banyak produk sekaligus, pendekatan ini lebih fokus pada perawatan yang tepat dan berkelanjutan.

Kulit tidak membutuhkan terlalu banyak intervensi, melainkan keseimbangan yang dijaga secara konsisten. Ditambah lagi, gaya hidup sehat seperti tidur cukup, manajemen stres, dan pola makan seimbang tetap menjadi bagian penting dalam menjaga kesehatan kulit.

Kasus dugaan pelecehan seksual yang melibatkan mahasiswa Fakultas Hukum Universitas Indonesia (FHUI) terus menjadi perhatian publik. Selain isi percakapan yang dinilai merendahkan perempuan, latar belakang para terduga pelaku ikut disorot karena disebut berasal dari lingkungan berpengaruh.

Kasus ini mencuat setelah beredarnya percakapan dalam grup internal mahasiswa yang berisi konten tidak pantas. Seiring viralnya kasus tersebut, identitas dan latar belakang para terduga pelaku mulai terungkap ke publik.

Dalam sejumlah cuitan di laman media sosial X/Twitter muncul beberapa informasi soal latar belakang para terduga pelaku yang menjadi perhatian karena sebagian berasal dari keluarga dengan posisi strategis. Hal ini memicu kekhawatiran terkait potensi konflik kepentingan dalam proses penanganan kasus.

Salah satu nama yang paling disorot adalah mahasiswa berinisial MKA. Ia dikabarkan merupakan anak dari seorang anggota kepolisian. Selain itu, RBS disebut memiliki latar belakang keluarga yang berkaitan dengan institusi militer, yakni TNI.

Nama lain yang turut disorot adalah MT mahasiswa tersebut dikaitkan dengan firma hukum ternama ABNR Counsellors at Law. Di sisi lain, PDP disebut berasal dari keluarga pemilik firma hukum Priambodo Patria & Co.

Relasi dengan lingkungan akademik pun tak luput dari perhatian. MNA disebut memiliki hubungan dengan seorang dekan di fakultas lain. Sementara IK dikabarkan dekat dengan Wakil Dekan I FHUI.

Bahkan, pelaku berinisial SP disebut sebagai keponakan dari dekan. Kedekatan ini dinilai menambah kompleksitas kasus karena adanya potensi relasi kuasa.

Kasus ini memicu desakan luas dari masyarakat agar proses penanganan dilakukan secara transparan dan objektif. Banyak pihak menegaskan bahwa latar belakang keluarga tidak boleh menghambat penegakan keadilan.

Pihak kampus sendiri menyatakan komitmennya untuk menindak tegas segala bentuk kekerasan seksual di lingkungan akademik. Proses investigasi internal pun disebut masih berjalan.

Jakarta -

Di jalan, di kantor, bahkan di media sosial-pelecehan seksual sering terjadi dalam bentuk yang tak selalu disadari.

Banyak yang masih menganggapnya sekadar candaan atau hal biasa. Padahal, di balik itu, ada rasa tidak nyaman, takut, hingga trauma yang dipendam oleh korban.

Masalahnya bukan hanya pada tindakan ekstrem. Justru, hal-hal yang terlihat kecil seperti siulan, komentar tubuh, atau pesan iseng di DM sering kali menjadi pintu awal dari pelecehan seksual yang lebih serius.

Pelecehan seksual sendiri merupakan segala bentuk perilaku bernuansa seksual yang dilakukan tanpa persetujuan.

Dampaknya tidak main-main-mulai dari tekanan emosional hingga gangguan mental seperti depresi dan trauma berkepanjangan.

Lalu, apa saja bentuk pelecehan seksual yang sering terjadi, tapi kerap diremehkan?

1. Verbal: Ucapan yang Nggak Nyentuh, Tapi Menyakitkan

Banyak orang merasa aman karena cuma ngomong. Padahal, kata-kata bisa jadi bentuk pelecehan.

Contohnya, komentar soal tubuh seperti "rok kamu kurang pendek tuh biar makin seksi" atau siulan di jalan yang sering dianggap hal biasa.

Panggilan seperti "sayang", "baby", atau lelucon bernuansa seksual juga termasuk jika membuat orang lain tidak nyaman.

Bahkan, pertanyaan soal kehidupan seksual seseorang tanpa persetujuan jelas sudah melewati batas.

2. Nonverbal: Tatapan dan Gestur yang Bikin Risih

Tanpa kata-kata pun, pelecehan bisa terjadi.

Tatapan yang fokus ke bagian tubuh sensitif, gerakan tubuh bernuansa seksual, hingga mengirim gambar tidak pantas termasuk dalam kategori ini.

Begitu juga dengan tindakan menguntit atau mengambil foto tanpa izin untuk tujuan tertentu.

Hal-hal seperti ini sering dianggap sepele, padahal bisa membuat korban merasa tidak aman.

3. Fisik: Sentuhan yang Tidak Diinginkan

Ini adalah bentuk yang paling mudah dikenali, tapi tetap sering terjadi.

Mulai dari menyentuh, memeluk, mencium tanpa izin, hingga tindakan yang lebih serius seperti pemaksaan hubungan seksual.

Bahkan, sentuhan ringan seperti mencubit atau menepuk bisa masuk kategori pelecehan jika tidak diinginkan.

Kuncinya sederhana: tanpa persetujuan, itu bukan hal yang wajar.

4. Online: Pelecehan di Balik Layar

Di era digital, pelecehan seksual ikut berpindah ke dunia online.

Komentar seksual di media sosial, permintaan foto seksi, ajakan video call intim, hingga penyebaran konten pribadi tanpa izin menjadi contoh yang sering terjadi.

Banyak korban merasa tidak berdaya karena pelaku bisa bersembunyi di balik akun anonim.

5. Manipulasi: Dipaksa Tanpa Disadari

Tidak semua pelecehan dilakukan dengan cara kasar.

Ada juga yang menggunakan pendekatan emosional, mencari simpati, memanfaatkan jabatan, atau membuat korban merasa berutang. Istilah seperti grooming dan gaslighting sering muncul dalam kasus ini.

Korban kerap tidak sadar bahwa dirinya sedang dimanipulasi.

6. Prostitusi Paksa: Eksploitasi yang Terorganisir

Ini merupakan bentuk pelecehan sekaligus pelanggaran HAM.

Korban biasanya dipaksa, diancam, atau dikendalikan hingga terjebak dalam praktik prostitusi. Kasus seperti ini sering berkaitan dengan perdagangan manusia dan eksploitasi anak.

7. Dalam Rumah Tangga: Terjadi di Tempat yang Harusnya Aman

Tidak banyak yang menyadari bahwa pelecehan seksual juga bisa terjadi dalam hubungan suami-istri.

Memaksa pasangan untuk berhubungan intim saat tidak menginginkan, atau menggunakan ancaman ekonomi dan emosional, termasuk dalam kategori ini.

Lingkupnya bahkan bisa lebih luas-terjadi pada anak atau anggota keluarga lain di rumah.

Dampaknya Nyata, Bukan Sekadar Baper

Salah satu masalah terbesar adalah stigma. Banyak korban dianggap berlebihan atau terlalu sensitif.

Padahal, dampak pelecehan seksual sangat nyata. Korban bisa mengalami kecemasan, gangguan tidur, kehilangan rasa percaya diri, hingga depresi dan trauma berat.

Tidak sedikit yang akhirnya memilih diam karena takut disalahkan atau tidak dipercaya.

Jangan Diam: Ini yang Bisa Dilakukan

Jika mengalami atau melihat pelecehan seksual, ada beberapa langkah penting:

• Sadari bahwa korban tidak pernah salah
• Ceritakan kepada orang yang dipercaya
• Laporkan ke pihak berwajib
• Cari bantuan profesional seperti psikolog

Di Indonesia, tindakan ini sudah diatur dalam Undang-Undang Tindak Pidana Kekerasan Seksual (UU TPKS), dengan ancaman hukuman yang serius bagi pelaku.

Bukan Soal Bercanda, Tapi Soal Batasan

Pelecehan seksual sering berawal dari hal yang dianggap sepele. Justru karena itu, banyak yang tidak sadar ketika melakukannya.

Padahal, satu hal yang harus dipahami, setiap orang punya hak atas tubuh dan kenyamanannya sendiri.

Dan ketika batas itu dilanggar dalam bentuk apa pun, maka itu bukan lagi sebuah candaan.

You push me past my own capacity, boy

I hate to do it to you, oh
Do what I gotta do, oh

I can't stand it, the urge

So necessary, the art of war
Goddamn it, I'm drained
Now that I've ruined everything, I cannot complain
Now that I've ruined everything, I'm so fuckin' free
Now that I've ruined everything, keep it all for me
Now that I've ruined everything, space is all I need

Chasin' façades in all directions
Chances are I've got no direction
Beggin' my angels for protection (Do it to you, oh)
Danger arise and I deflect it
New dick arrives and I erect it
Beggin' my angels for protection
Thankin' my stars, livin' reckless, oh

Do it to you
Do it to you
I had to do it to you
Do it to you, oh
Don't make me do it to you
Do it to you
Do it to you
I hate to do it to you, oh
Do what I gotta do, oh

All the pain I know
Is used to fuel my soul
No control
I do it to you, do it to you, uh
All the hurt I know
Is used to heal my soul
No control
I do it to you, do it to you, oh

Publik sempat dibuat bertanya-tanya saat sebuah video dari putra Indy Barends, Manuel Tobias Sarmanella, mendadak viral di media sosial.

Dalam video tersebut, remaja 17 tahun itu membahas soal kesehatan mental dan dampak ucapan orang tua, topik sensitif yang langsung memicu berbagai spekulasi.

Tidak sedikit netizen yang menduga ada sesuatu yang tidak beres dalam hubungan ibu dan anak tersebut.

Kegaduhan itu akhirnya sampai ke telinga Indy Barends. Sang presenter pun mengaku ikut terkejut saat pertama kali melihat video sang putra menjadi perbincangan luas.

Sebagai seorang ibu, ia tidak bisa menahan rasa khawatir tentang apa yang sebenarnya dirasakan oleh Manuel.

"Gak usah orang lain yang menilai, aku pun ibunya juga merasa 'Ini ada apa?', Tapi ternyata Manuel menjawab, 'Jangan mikirin Mama terus'," kata Indy Barends di Detik, Selasa (14/4).

Alih-alih langsung bereaksi atau mengonfrontasi, Indy memilih langkah yang tidak biasa. Ia menahan diri. Selama dua bulan, ia memendam pertanyaan itu sebelum akhirnya merasa siap untuk membuka percakapan yang lebih dalam dengan sang anak.

Keputusan itu bukan tanpa alasan. Indy sadar, membahas hal sensitif seperti ini membutuhkan waktu dan pendekatan yang tepat agar tidak melukai perasaan.

"Aku menunggu waktu sampai dua bulan baru bisa ngobrol tentang video itu, ya kan Manuel ya? Karena, perlu banget hati-hati untuk bisa nanya ini ada apa video itu dibuat," jelas Indy Barends.

Di sisi lain, Manuel akhirnya memberikan penjelasan yang cukup menenangkan. Ia menegaskan bahwa video tersebut sama sekali tidak ditujukan untuk menyudutkan ibunya.

"Itu sebenarnya bukan maksud untuk mengatakan mama aku jelek atau apa gitu, atau sesuatu yang buruk atau apa, nggak. Itu awalnya itu aku sebenarnya untuk mem-provoke-kan generasi aku yang generasi aku nih sekarang ini, Gen Z ya," ujar Manuel.

Lebih jauh, video itu justru lahir dari keresahan yang ia lihat di sekitarnya. Banyak anak muda yang merasa ditekan oleh ekspektasi dan ucapan orang tua, hingga perlahan kehilangan kepercayaan diri.

Lewat video tersebut, Manuel ingin menyampaikan pesan sederhana tapi kuat: setiap orang punya nilai dan layak untuk bertahan.

"Aku cuma memberi motivasi dari itu bahwa tuh lo itu penting, lo itu masih layak untuk hidup. Jadi jangan pernah untuk menyerah, don't ever give up, follow your dreams," imbuhnya.

Klarifikasi ini sekaligus meredam spekulasi yang sempat berkembang. Alih-alih konflik, kisah ini justru menunjukkan dinamika komunikasi antara orang tua dan anak di era sekarang, di mana isu kesehatan mental menjadi semakin relevan, terutama bagi generasi muda.

Di balik viralnya video tersebut, ada satu hal yang jadi pengingat penting: tidak semua yang terlihat di permukaan mencerminkan kenyataan yang sebenarnya.

Anggapan bahwa seseorang malas karena tidak suka olahraga ternyata tak sepenuhnya benar. Fakta terbaru mengungkap, keengganan berolahraga bisa dipengaruhi oleh kepribadian masing-masing individu.

Dalam penelitian jurnal Frontiers in Psychology ditemukan adanya hubungan kuat antara karakter seseorang dengan jenis olahraga yang disukai. Artinya, rasa tidak nyaman saat berolahraga bukan sekadar soal niat, melainkan kecocokan personal.

Peneliti dari University College London (UCL), Flaminia Ronca, menjelaskan bahwa setiap orang memiliki preferensi berbeda terhadap aktivitas fisik.

"Kami menemukan bahwa ada beberapa kaitan yang jelas antara sifat kepribadian dan jenis olahraga yang paling disukai peserta," kata Ronca.

Dalam studi tersebut, orang dengan kepribadian ekstrovert cenderung menikmati olahraga intensitas tinggi seperti latihan interval atau aktivitas kompetitif.

Sementara individu dengan tingkat kecemasan tinggi lebih memilih olahraga ringan dan tidak terlalu lama.

Menariknya, sebagian orang juga tidak nyaman jika terlalu diawasi saat berolahraga. Hal ini menunjukkan pentingnya rasa aman dan kebebasan dalam menjalani aktivitas fisik agar bisa konsisten.

Ronca juga menyoroti bahwa banyak orang sebenarnya ingin aktif, tetapi kesulitan mempertahankannya. Ia mengungkapkan.

"Banyak orang ingin jadi lebih aktif, tetapi kesulitan untuk mempertahankannya dalam jangka panjang," sambung Ronca lagi.

Selain itu, individu dengan sifat teliti atau disiplin biasanya tetap berolahraga secara rutin.

Namun, motivasi mereka lebih didorong oleh manfaat kesehatan daripada kesenangan semata.

Pernikahan Clara Shinta dengan sang suami, Muhammad Alexander Assad berada di ujung tanduk.

Perselisihan yang bermula kala keduanya berlibur di Bangkok, Thailand, Maret 2026 itu terjadi karena ditemukannya bukti video syur Assad dengan wanita lain.

Mulanya, Clara Shinta penasaran untuk memeriksa ponsel milik suaminya. Ia menemukan bukti rekaman video call sex atau VCS di folder Indah yang sudah dihapus Assad.

"Pada saat saya dekat sampai saya menikah, itu belum pernah saya periksa HP-nya karena saya tahu, maksudnya saya nggak mau cari penyakit," kata Clara Shinta pada awak media.

"Nah, tapi nggak tahu kenapa di pagi itu saya mau cek HP-nya di galeri. Ya awalnya nggak ada rupanya, ya, itu ada di recently deleted," sambungnya.

Penemuan bukti tersebut membuat Clara Shinta syok karena selama ini melihat sosok Assad sebagai laki-laki sempurna yang rajin beribadah.

"Nggak nyangka juga ada itu (bukti VCS), nggak nyangka. Keluar malam nggak pernah, minum alkohol ya (minum), tapi bukan peminum alkohol, beliau juga salatnya rajin lima waktu, tambah lagi sunah," paparnya.

"Makanya saya cek HP-nya itu dalam keadaan saya happy aja. Nggak ada tanda-tanda, makanya saya syoknya luar biasa," lanjutnya.

Clara Shinta sempat meminta penjelasan sang suami sebelum akhirnya kembali ke Indonesia untuk pulang ke rumah masing-masing.

Ia mengatakan bahwa saat ini, proses perceraian keduanya sedang dilakukan di pengadilan.

"Setelah dari luar negeri kami masih satu apartemen, karena memang kami booking apartemennya satu. Tapi setelah sampai di bandara, kami pulang dengan mobil masing-masing, kami menuju rumah masing-masing," tuturnya.

"Semua saat ini sudah saya serahkan ke pengadilan ya. Terima kasih," pungkasnya.

Di tengah kunjungan resminya di Australia, Pangeran Harry menghadirkan sisi yang jarang terlihat, bukan sebagai anggota kerajaan, tapi sebagai seorang ayah yang berbicara jujur tentang realita membesarkan anak.

Dalam kunjungan tunggalnya ke Movember di markas Western Bulldogs, Melbourne, Harry tidak hanya datang untuk seremoni. Ia hadir untuk membuka percakapan yang selama ini sering dipendam yakni tekanan mental para ayah.

Acara tersebut dihadiri para ayah dari komunitas lokal serta organisasi keluarga. Suasana dibuat santai dengan anak-anak bermain, membuat kerajinan, hingga mengenakan mahkota kertas.

Bahkan grup hiburan anak-anak The Wiggles ikut meramaikan momen tersebut. Namun, di balik suasana hangat itu, ada pesan serius yang ingin disampaikan.

Harry sempat mengenang momen menjadi ayah pertama kali ketika Pangeran Archie lahir 2019. Ia juga menegaskan bahwa dirinya dan Meghan Markle menjalani peran sebagai orang tua sebagai sebuah tim.

Pengalaman pribadi itu kemudian ia kaitkan dengan kondisi banyak ayah di masa sekarang, yang ternyata menyimpan perasaan serupa, namun sering kali tidak diungkapkan.

Di hadapan para ayah, Harry menyampaikan pesan yang langsung menyentuh inti persoalan kesehatan mental pria.

"Anda tidak sendirian," katanya, sambil menunjuk pada penelitian baru tentang para ayah di Australia.

"Laporan ini membuktikan begitu banyak perasaan mendasar yang dimiliki begitu banyak pria dan ayah, dan itu sendiri merupakan sesuatu yang transformatif. Daripada hanya menjadi opini atau diskusi atau sesuatu yang tidak dibicarakan, melihatnya dalam statistik, saya pikir, mudah-mudahan akan memberi siapa pun kepercayaan diri untuk mengetahui bahwa apa pun yang anda rasakan, apa pun yang anda rasakan saat ini, dialami oleh sebagian besar individu," sambungnya.

Pernyataan ini menjadi pengingat bahwa tekanan, rasa lelah, hingga kebingungan dalam menjadi orang tua adalah hal yang manusiawi.

Harry juga menyoroti adanya perubahan pola pikir dalam generasi ayah saat ini, yang mulai berani membesarkan anak dengan pendekatan berbeda dari masa lalu.

"Ada evolusi yang terjadi di sini, dan saya pikir semakin banyak orang yang maju dan membicarakannya, semakin tinggi angka-angka itu, karena angka-angka tersebut luar biasa dan sangat bermakna dalam budaya di mana hal itu sebenarnya tidak banyak dibicarakan," katanya.

Menurutnya, keberanian untuk berbicara justru menjadi kunci perubahan budaya yang lebih sehat.

Di akhir sesi, Harry menutup dengan pesan yang terasa sangat dekat dengan realitas banyak orang tua.

"Kepada para ayah dan calon ayah, ya, ini memang berantakan. Kalian akan mengalami berbagai macam emosi, dan jangan menghakimi diri sendiri," katanya.

Kalimat sederhana, tapi menggambarkan kompleksitas menjadi orang tua di era sekarang.

Keterlibatan Harry dalam isu kesehatan mental bukan hal baru. Dalam kesempatan lain, ia juga mengungkap pengalaman pribadinya saat berinteraksi dengan para veteran.

"Saya mendapati diri saya berbicara dengan banyak veteran dan duduk bersama mereka, saya menyadari bahwa kesunyian membunuh orang. Memberantas stigma secara global, kita telah menempuh perjalanan panjang. Akses ke terapi masih merupakan masalah besar," ujarnya.

Kunjungan ini bukan sekadar agenda resmi. Lewat kejujuran dan pengalaman pribadinya, Pangeran Harry membuka ruang diskusi yang selama ini jarang disentuh-bahwa menjadi ayah tidak harus selalu kuat, dan merasa rapuh bukanlah kelemahan.

Pernyataan kontroversial kembali datang dari Donald Trump. Kali ini, pernyataan tersebut berkaitan dengan kebiasaan konsumsi minuman soda diet yang selama ini dikenal sebagai favoritnya.

Dalam sebuah wawancara yang diungkap oleh Mehmet Oz, Trump disebut memiliki pandangan tidak biasa mengenai manfaat soda diet bagi tubuh.

Oz menyampaikan pernyataan tersebut saat berbincang dalam podcast bersama Donald Trump Jr.. Ia menjelaskan alasan yang digunakan Trump untuk membenarkan kebiasaan tersebut.

"Ayahmu berpendapat bahwa soda diet baik untuknya karena dapat membunuh rumput, jika dituangkan ke rumput, jadi soda diet pasti dapat membunuh sel kanker di dalam tubuh," kata Oz.

Pernyataan tersebut langsung menimbulkan perdebatan karena tidak memiliki dasar ilmiah yang jelas.

Oz juga menceritakan pengalaman lain saat berada di pesawat kepresidenan bersama Trump. Ia melihat Trump mengonsumsi minuman ringan rasa jeruk.

"Kau tahu, kami berada di Air Force One beberapa hari yang lalu, dan aku masuk ke sana karena dia ingin membicarakan sesuatu, dan dia punya minuman ringan rasa jeruk di mejanya. Dia punya Fanta di mejanya," kata Oz.

"Dan aku berkata, 'Kau bercanda?' Lalu dia mulai tersenyum malu-malu. Dia berkata, 'Kau tahu, minuman ini bagus untukku, minuman ini membunuh sel kanker,' " lanjutnya mengulang perkataan Trump.

Menurut Oz, Trump juga sempat menyampaikan pernyataan bernada bercanda mengenai minuman tersebut. Trump menyebut minuman itu tidak berbahaya karena dianggap hasil perasan segar.

Dalam percakapan tersebut, Donald Trump Jr. memberikan tanggapan terhadap pernyataan ayahnya.

"Oke, oke, tapi mungkin dia benar. Karena saya akan mengatakan ini, saya kenal banyak pria yang mendekati usia 80 tahun, tidak banyak yang memiliki tingkat energi, daya ingat, dan stamina seperti dia," ujarnya.

Pernyataan tersebut menunjukkan sudut pandang pribadi yang berbeda, meskipun tidak berkaitan langsung dengan bukti ilmiah.

Kecintaan Trump terhadap soda diet dan makanan cepat saji telah lama diketahui publik.

Pada masa jabatannya sebelumnya, ia bahkan memiliki tombol khusus di meja kerjanya untuk memesan Diet Coke.

Trump juga pernah menjelaskan alasan di balik kebiasaan tersebut dalam wawancara sebelumnya.

"Saya orang yang sangat bersih. Saya suka kebersihan," kata Trump.

"Dan saya pikir Anda lebih baik pergi ke sana daripada ke tempat yang mungkin Anda tidak tahu dari mana makanan itu berasal," sambungnya.

Pernyataan Trump muncul di tengah upaya pemerintah Amerika Serikat untuk mendorong pola makan sehat. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sempat menegaskan pentingnya konsumsi makanan bergizi.

"Rumah tangga Amerika harus memprioritaskan makanan utuh yang kaya nutrisi, protein, produk susu, sayuran, buah-buahan, lemak sehat, dan biji-bijian utuh, dan secara drastis mengurangi makanan olahan," katanya.

Imbauan tersebut bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kualitas kesehatan masyarakat secara menyeluruh.

Pernyataan Trump mengenai soda diet menambah daftar kontroversi terkait isu kesehatan. Sebelumnya, ia juga pernah menyampaikan pernyataan yang menuai kritik karena dianggap tidak didukung oleh bukti ilmiah.

Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pandangan pribadi seorang tokoh publik dapat memicu diskusi luas, terutama ketika berkaitan dengan isu kesehatan yang sensitif.

The New York Giants and star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II have reached an impasse on talks over a new contract extension, sources told NFL Network on Tuesday night.

The Giants have engaged with teams on a potential trade of Lawrence, which now will continue ahead of next week's NFL draft.

News of the impasse between the sides comes on the same day Giants general manager Joe Schoen labeled conversations between the team and Lawrence's agent as "productive."

"We've had good conversations with his representatives throughout the last five or six days," Schoen said, preempting his annual predraft news conference with an update on the situation. "Coach [John Harbaugh], [senior vice president of football operations and strategy] Dawn [Aponte], myself, we've all been in communication, trying to find some resolution.

"I'll echo what Coach said last week: We'd like for Dexter to be here, and at some point we'll come to a resolution here, whatever that may be. We'll see. But conversations have been really good, they've been productive and we'll see what happens here down the road."

Lawrence's contract is currently out of guaranteed money, and his $20 million salary places him 10th among interior defensive linemen this season. He requested a trade and has not been present for the start of the Giants' first offseason workout program under Harbaugh.

"I'm always going to pick up the phone," Schoen said Tuesday of potential offers for Lawrence. "So if a team calls -- maybe not to the effect that Coach [Harbaugh] said last week that everybody is tradable -- but, no, that is my job as the general manager. If teams call, you take into account it's a case-by-case basis and what the compensation may be. That's my job to take into consideration what that looks like, what the compensation looks like, who the player is, how that affects the roster and then try to make the best decision off of that."

Making a move would be difficult for the Giants given the state of their roster. They are currently thin at the defensive tackle position and have only two top-100 picks in this year's draft.

Schoen said the trade request hasn't affected the way the team is approaching the draft. The Giants have the fifth selection in the first round and aren't expected to take a defensive tackle in that spot. The 37th pick is their only other selection in the first two days.

"We're going to continue to go through our process," Schoen said. "Scouts left [Monday], so they've been here for roughly 14 days and, you know, now we're putting the final touches on the board.

"But it really hasn't affected how we're approaching the draft."

PHOENIX -- Deni Avdija showed he has a little bit of the clutch gene in his initial foray into postseason basketball.

The first-time All-Star followed a breakout regular season with a fantastic all-around performance in Tuesday's NBA play-in tournament, scoring 41 points to lead the Portland Trail Blazers over the Phoenix Suns for a 114-110 win to clinch the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference playoffs.

The Blazers are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2021 after clawing back from an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter. They'll face the No. 2 seed San Antonio Spurs in the first round.

"It's the best thing that's ever happened to me in my career so far," Avdija said.

The Suns will host the winner of Wednesday's LA Clippers-Golden State Warriors game Friday. Whichever team wins Friday's matchup will earn the No. 8 seed and face the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in the playoffs; the loser's season will be over.

Avdija, 25, had never played in the NBA's postseason until Tuesday, toiling for more than five years on mediocre teams in Washington and Portland, but he looked comfortable on the bigger stage. He had the winning three-point play with 16.1 seconds left, scoring on a physical take to the rim while being fouled and then converting a free throw.

Avdija became the fifth player to score 40 or more points in a play-in game, joining Jayson Tatum for the Boston Celtics in 2021 (50), Coby White for the Chicago Bulls in 2024 (42), Anthony Davis for the Dallas Mavericks in 2025 (40) and Zion Williamson for the New Orleans Pelicans in 2024 (40).

Blazers guard Jrue Holiday, a two-time NBA champion with Milwaukee and Boston, said he was impressed with Avdija's composure. Avdija shot 15-of-22 from the field and added 12 assists and seven rebounds.

Holiday said the best part of Avdija's performance was it was "kind of an off night."

"I feel like he's unique. Nobody does what he does," Holiday said. "Deni coming out here, carrying us, especially down the stretch, getting that winning bucket and being able to go home knowing we're playing San Antonio is something you love to see in Deni because this is what we expect from him now."

Avdija and the rest of the young Blazers kept their cool during a physical game that featured plenty of hard fouls. Holiday finished with 21 points and Jerami Grant returned from a calf injury to score 16.

"I think back to the beginning of the season, we weren't very disciplined at staying together and finishing games," Avdija said. "I feel like we showed character today. We showed growth, we showed character, we showed we were capable of keeping our composure and making winning plays."

Blazers coach Tiago Splitter agreed that Avdija didn't have his best night despite the big numbers. He said the 6-foot-8 forward's next test will be facing a Spurs team that will throw different looks at him on defense in a playoff series.

If Tuesday night was any indication, he'll be just fine.

"He just kept going, kept believing in himself," Splitter said. "Scored a couple buckets at the end there. A little bit of what he did the whole season, played 38 minutes, had the ball a lot and decided the game."

The Associated Press and ESPN Research contributed to this report.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said LaMelo Ball should have been ejected early in the second quarter after the Charlotte Hornets star point guard yanked Bam Adebayo's left foot on a rebound, sending the Heat center hard to the floor and injuring his lower back.

Adebayo ended up missing the rest of the game, a 127-126 overtime win by the Hornets in Tuesday night's play-in game.

Though Spoelstra repeatedly made it clear that the Heat made no excuses for losing what was a thriller, the Miami coach said there's no place in the game for Ball tripping up Adebayo.

"I didn't see it [when it happened], but I don't think it's cute," Spoelstra said after the Heat missed the playoffs the first time since the 2018-19 season. "I don't think it's funny. I think it's a stupid play. It's a dangerous play. Obviously, our best player was out.

"I'm not making an excuse. The Hornets played great and they made those plays down the stretch. We had our opportunities to win. That's a shame. You should be penalized for that. I don't think that belongs in the game -- tripping guys, shenanigans."

Ball, who won the game with a go-ahead driving layup with 4.7 seconds left in overtime, apologized twice after the Hornets' win. Charlotte advances to play the loser of Wednesday night's play-in game between the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.

"I apologize on that one," Ball said. "I got hit in the head [on the play] and didn't really know where I was. But I'm going to check on him, see if he's OK and everything."

Ball had a fadeaway shot blocked in the paint, and as Adebayo went for the rebound while trying to stay inbounds, Ball, who fell to the floor near Adebayo, swiped at Adebayo's foot with his left arm.

Adebayo fell to the floor and remained down for the next play, and Ball scored on a dunk before there was a stoppage with 10:58 remaining in the second quarter. The Heat star eventually walked very gingerly to the locker room.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. started the second half in place of Adebayo, who was later ruled out. Adebayo had six points and three rebounds while making all three of his shots in the first half before leaving the game.

Spoelstra said the officiating crew of Zach Zarba, Curtis Blair and Gediminas Petraitis should've seen the trip and thrown Ball out.

"Curtis was there. It's his responsibility to see that," Spoelstra said. "And if it's not his responsibility, then Zach's got to see it. Somebody has got to see that, and that he should have been thrown out of the game for that. I don't know him from anyone. There's no place in the game for that. Obviously, it took Bam out of the game, but that did not deter us. If there's anything about our locker room, the guys just got into the competition."

Zarba said the crew could not review the play.

"The play wasn't whistled in real time," Zarba said to a pool reporter. "Play continued with a fast break. And because play wasn't stopped immediately, and there was no whistle on the play, the window to review the play was closed. Play was stopped, after a change of possession, and then a timeout. So, by rule, our window to review that play then is closed."

Adebayo did not talk to reporters after the game.

"I've never really seen him limp like that," Miami guard Tyler Herro said of Adebayo. "He's usually a guy that stays in. Tells you how much pain he was in.

"We all know ... it was not the right play."

Spoelstra said the Heat still had plenty of chances to win the game without their best player and Miami felt it would still win. They led 114-111, but Coby White buried a 3 with 10.8 seconds left to tie the score in regulation. Herro missed a 28-foot potential game winner.

In overtime, Herro hit three free throws to give Miami a 126-125 lead with 8.7 seconds left before Ball won the game.

"You might not see all the action in somebody falling, but you saw a frustrated player," Spoelstra said of Ball after the blocked shot before the injury. "A frustrated player now can do something frustrated, a frustrating action. And that led to taking our best player out of the game, which was unfortunate.

"Now, I repeat again, that had nothing to do with the end. I don't want to take anything away from the Hornets. They've had a fantastic second half of this season, and this was just a great dogfight. Whoever had the ball last to make the play. I mean, we had the last play, but they made it when it really mattered."

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Alex Ovechkin hasn't decided if his final NHL game was Tuesday night. If it was, the Russian superstar made sure he got on the scoresheet.

Ovechkin assisted on Jakob Chychrun's go-ahead goal during the third period of the Washington Capitals' 2-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets.

"It's pretty cool," Ovechkin said. "We tried to win, and we tried to finish the season on a good note."

Ovechkin, who led the Capitals to the Stanley Cup in 2018, is in the final season of his contract. He has continued to reiterate that he will take some time to ponder whether to retire after 21 seasons and 1,573 regular-season games.

"I'm going to stay a little bit in D.C. I don't know when we're going to fly [back to Russia]. ... I'll talk with Carbs [coach Spencer Carbery], CP [general manager Chris Patrick], my family and go from there," Ovechkin said during his three-minute postgame remarks.

A large contingent of Capitals fans made the trip to Columbus and chanted "One more year!" and "Ovi! Ovi!" during the final minute. He also got a standing ovation as he left the ice.

"I don't know what's going to happen. The fans who came here from D.C. and different spots to watch the game which was very nice," Ovechkin said. "I could hear them cheering for me and screaming one more year."

Ovechkin was on the ice for final 1:49 after the Blue Jackets pulled their goalie. His teammates tried to get him the puck for one final goal, but he was unable to control the puck when he had a clean look at the empty net.

"I wanted him, maybe if this is it, to ice it with one more empty net," Carbery said. "He had a good look at it. The puck just was rolling."

If Ovechkin's final game was against the Blue Jackets, it was fitting. His NHL debut came Oct. 5, 2005, against Columbus, when he scored the first two of his record-setting 929 goals.

Washington got its third power play after Columbus' Miles Wood was sent off for high sticking at 14:06 of the third period. Ovechkin had a couple of chances for his favorite spot inside the left faceoff circle, but Blue Jackets' goaltender Jet Greaves was able to make a great save on the first attempt.

The Capitals took the lead with 4:07 remaining on Chychrun's shot from the slot. Ovechkin got the second assist, his 32nd of the season.

"It's an honor," Chychrun said. "I think we all are trying to soak up everything we can all the time we have with him. We don't know what's in store, but it's special to have these memories with him.

"We all know what he does out there on the ice, but getting to know him off the ice has been even more special."

On his opening shift, Ovechkin became the fifth player age 40 or older in NHL history to play in all 82 regular-season games. The last person to do it was Jaromir Jagr with the Florida Panthers in 2016-17. The others were Detroit's Nicklas Lidstrom (2010-11), Anaheim's Teemu Selanne (2011-12) and Tampa Bay's Dave Andreychuk (2003-04). Jagr also did it with the New Jersey Devils in 2013-14.

It was the fifth time in 21 seasons Ovechkin has not missed a regular-season game.

Ovechkin led the Capitals this season with 32 goals and 64 points. He ended the season with a point in three straight games, with one goal and two assists.

Washington finished two points shy of a playoff spot, the fifth time it has failed to reach the Stanley Cup playoffs since Ovechkin was the top pick in 2004.

For those hoping Ovechkin goes at least one more year, he did leave a glimmer of hope.

"I hope it's not my last game. I don't know how exactly it's going to happen, so we'll see," he said.

Di saat hidup terasa runtuh dan semua harus dimulai dari nol, bantuan kecil saja bisa terasa sangat berarti.

Tapi bagi Fanny Fadillah, yang datang justru bukan bantuan biasa-melainkan uluran tangan besar yang mengubah beban hidupnya secara nyata.

Fanny mengungkap, ia sempat berada di titik terendah setelah menghadapi masalah ekonomi pasca perceraian.

Kondisinya begitu sulit hingga ia harus menjual barang-barang miliknya untuk bertahan hidup.

Di tengah tekanan itu, satu hal yang paling membuatnya khawatir adalah masa depan pendidikan anak-anaknya.

Pertemuan tak terduga dengan Rieke Diah Pitaloka pun menjadi titik balik. Saat itu, keduanya dipertemukan dalam satu produksi, dan percakapan sederhana berubah menjadi sesuatu yang jauh lebih besar.

"Ya Alhamdulillah, kebetulan ketemu di satu produksi film. Dia tanya-tanya, 'Gimana anak-anak?' Yang kecil kebetulan mau masuk SMA, yang besar mau masuk kuliah," kata Fanny di Pagi-pagi Ambyar, Selasa (14/4).

Fanny tidak menutupi kondisi yang sedang ia hadapi. Ia jujur mengakui betapa beratnya biaya pendidikan di tengah kondisi keuangan yang sedang terpuruk. Respons Rieke pun di luar dugaan.

"Ya berat lah apalagi dengan kondisi sekarang ini. Anak apalagi mau masuk sekolah juga. Dia tanya, 'Kenapa sih emang?' Terus dia bilang, 'Udah, lu fotoin sana nomor rekening sekolahnya, biar gue yang urus'," tutur Fanny.

Tak butuh waktu lama, keajaiban itu benar-benar terjadi. Tanpa banyak bicara, Rieke langsung melunasi biaya pendidikan anak Fanny.

"Besokannya saya dapet laporan uang pangkal si anak udah selesai dibayarkan sama Rieke. Gitu juga waktu sama yang besar," ungkapnya.

Di tengah kesulitan, kabar itu menjadi angin segar yang tak tergantikan. Fanny juga berbagi kebanggaannya terhadap anak sulungnya yang berhasil menembus perguruan tinggi negeri bergengsi, Universitas Indonesia, melalui jalur prestasi.

"Kalau anak kuliah kan, puji Tuhan yang besar ini pintar, dia masuk kuliah di perguruan tinggi negeri, di Universitas Indonesia. Dia masuk jalur prestasi. Jadi ya kita agak sebagai orang tua bangga dan itu kan mengurangi beban," jelasnya.

Namun, seperti banyak orang tua lainnya, perjuangan tidak berhenti di situ. Biaya kuliah tetap menjadi tanggung jawab yang harus dipenuhi setiap semester.

"Tapi tetap harus ada uang semester, UKT namanya sekarang," sambungnya.

Tak disangka, pertemuan berikutnya dengan Rieke kembali membawa kabar baik. Tanpa ragu, Rieke sekali lagi menawarkan bantuan.

"Ternyata ketemu lagi yang kedua sama Rieke juga di salah satu broadcast TV. Nanya, 'Eh lu bayar ini berapa anak UKT-nya?' 'Sekian.' 'Ya udah nanti kapan musti bayar kasih tau gue.' Pas ditanya anak itu tanggal sekian, saya kasih tahu. Dia bilang, 'Tuh, udah lunas,' untuk yang semester sekarang," cerita Fanny.

Bagi Fanny, bantuan itu bukan sekadar soal uang. Lebih dari itu, ada rasa peduli yang begitu besar di baliknya.

"Ya terima kasih, ya pertolongan dia sangat, sangat besar," pungkasnya.

Kisah ini bukan hanya tentang kesulitan, tapi juga tentang empati. Di tengah kerasnya hidup, masih ada tangan yang terulur-tanpa banyak bicara, tapi dampaknya terasa luar biasa.

Musisi Boniangga Anugrah kembali meramaikan dunia musik dengan karya terbarunya berjudul Menua Bijaksana yang resmi dirilis pada 10 April 2026. Lagu ini menjadi bagian dari perjalanan kariernya sekaligus langkah menuju proyek EP bertajuk Menuju 40 yang akan dirilis tahun ini.

Boniangga bukan nama yang langsung muncul dari industri musik. Ia diketahui sudah lebih dari 16 tahun bekerja di dunia perbankan. Meski begitu, kecintaannya pada musik tidak pernah hilang.

Pria berdarah Manado dan Palembang ini mulai serius menekuni karier sebagai penyanyi solo sejak 2024. Ia membuktikan bahwa pekerjaan tetap dan passion di musik tetap bisa berjalan beriringan.

Sejak kecil, Boniangga sudah akrab dengan musik, terutama genre rock, emo, dan rock ballad era 90-an hingga awal 2000-an. Ia juga mengaku terinspirasi oleh musisi seperti Once Mekel, Ipang Lazuardi, dan Marcell Siahaan.

Salah satu momen yang paling membekas baginya adalah saat menonton konser Dewa 19 ketika Once Mekel baru bergabung sebagai vokalis. Pengalaman itu membuatnya semakin yakin untuk terus dekat dengan musik.

Lewat lagu Menua Bijaksana, Boniangga mengangkat cerita yang sangat dekat dengan kehidupan banyak orang. Lagu ini menggambarkan sosok pria dewasa, seorang ayah sekaligus pekerja yang mulai merasakan perubahan fisik seiring bertambahnya usia.

Mulai dari perut yang semakin membesar hingga rambut yang berubah warna, semua digambarkan dengan cara yang jujur dan apa adanya. Namun, pesan utama lagu ini bukan tentang penurunan, melainkan tentang penerimaan diri.

Bagi Boniangga, bertambahnya usia justru membawa kedewasaan dan kebijaksanaan.

Cerita ini juga terinspirasi dari pengalaman pribadinya. Ia sempat mengalami kenaikan berat badan hingga 15 kilogram sejak tahun 2021 saat berpindah pekerjaan. Kini, ia berusaha kembali menjaga keseimbangan hidup lewat olahraga dan pola makan.

Menariknya, proses kreatif lagu ini terinspirasi dari karakter dalam anime Sakamoto Days. Hal ini membuat lirik "Menua Bijaksana" terasa ringan, santai, bahkan sedikit jenaka.

Lagu ini ditulis oleh Ical Wonder, vokalis dari band Kunci, yang membantu menghadirkan nuansa relatable agar mudah diterima oleh pendengar.

Lewat lagu ini, Boniangga ingin menyampaikan bahwa proses menua bukanlah hal yang harus ditakuti.

Menurutnya, waktu memang membawa perubahan, tetapi itu tidak berarti seseorang harus berhenti mencintai diri sendiri. Justru, pengalaman hidup yang bertambah membuat seseorang menjadi lebih bijak.

Setelah merilis Menua Bijaksana, Boniangga sudah menyiapkan langkah berikutnya. Ia berencana merilis single keenam pada awal Juni 2026 sebagai bagian dari EP Menuju 40.

Tak hanya itu, ia juga tengah menyiapkan lagu ciptaannya sendiri yang ditargetkan rilis pada pertengahan hingga akhir tahun 2026.

Untuk memperkenalkan karyanya, Boniangga akan aktif melakukan promosi di berbagai platform seperti TikTok, Instagram, media digital, hingga radio.

Vitamin D menjadi salah satu nutrisi penting yang dibutuhkan tubuh untuk menjaga kesehatan tulang, meningkatkan sistem imun, hingga membantu penyerapan kalsium.

Selain dari sinar matahari, asupan vitamin D juga bisa diperoleh dari makanan, terutama makanan laut.

Mengutip Halodoc, vitamin D berperan besar dalam menjaga fungsi tubuh tetap optimal.

Bahkan, kekurangan vitamin ini bisa berdampak pada kesehatan tulang dan daya tahan tubuh.

Berikut 5 makanan laut yang mengandung vitamin D tinggi:

1. Ikan Salmon

Salmon menjadi salah satu sumber vitamin D terbaik dari laut. Kandungan vitamin D dalam salmon cukup tinggi, bahkan dalam 100 gram bisa memenuhi sebagian besar kebutuhan harian tubuh.

2. Ikan Tuna

Tuna, termasuk yang dikemas dalam kaleng, juga mengandung vitamin D yang cukup tinggi. Selain itu, ikan ini mudah diolah dan banyak dikonsumsi sehari-hari.

3. Ikan Sarden

Sarden dikenal sebagai ikan kecil dengan kandungan gizi besar. Selain kaya omega-3, sarden juga mengandung vitamin D yang baik untuk menjaga kesehatan tulang dan jantung.

4. Makarel (Ikan Kembung)

Makarel atau ikan kembung termasuk jenis ikan berlemak yang kaya vitamin D. Konsumsi ikan ini dapat membantu memenuhi kebutuhan nutrisi harian sekaligus menjaga kesehatan tubuh.

5. Haring (Herring)

Secara umum, ikan berlemak memang menjadi sumber utama vitamin D alami. Selain itu, makanan laut juga mengandung berbagai nutrisi penting lain seperti protein, omega-3, dan vitamin B12 yang baik untuk tubuh.

Dengan mengonsumsi makanan laut secara rutin, kebutuhan vitamin D harian bisa lebih mudah terpenuhi, terutama bagi mereka yang jarang terpapar sinar matahari.

Pemerintah Arab Saudi resmi memberlakukan pembatasan akses ke Kota Suci Mekkah mulai 18 April 2026.

Kebijakan ini berdampak langsung pada jamaah asal Indonesia, khususnya pemegang visa umrah yang ingin masuk ke wilayah tersebut.

Aturan ini diterapkan sebagai bagian dari persiapan penyelenggaraan ibadah haji 1447 H agar pelaksanaan berjalan aman dan tertib.

Jamaah umrah pun diwajibkan sudah meninggalkan Arab Saudi sebelum tenggat waktu tersebut.

Mengutip laporan CNBC Indonesia, pembatasan ini merupakan kebijakan rutin yang diterapkan setiap menjelang musim haji.

Akses masuk ke Mekkah setelah 18 April hanya diberikan kepada pihak tertentu seperti pemegang visa haji dan warga dengan izin resmi.

"Pemerintah Arab Saudi setiap tahun menerapkan pengendalian akses ke Makkah menjelang puncak musim haji," kata Direktur Jenderal Penyelenggaraan Haji dan Umrah Kementerian Agama RI, Hilman Latief.

Hilman menegaskan, pembatasan ini dilakukan untuk menjaga kelancaran ibadah jutaan jamaah dari seluruh dunia.

"Hal ini penting untuk memastikan bahwa pelaksanaan ibadah berlangsung aman, tertib, dan sesuai kapasitas," sambungnya.

"Jangan mau dirayu berangkat haji tanpa visa haji. Itu ilegal," sambungnya.

Menurutnya, jamaah yang nekat melanggar aturan bisa terkena sanksi tegas dari otoritas Arab Saudi.

"Selain ditolak masuk Makkah, juga berpotensi dikenakan sanksi," pungkasnya.

Dengan adanya kebijakan ini, calon jamaah Indonesia diimbau untuk menyesuaikan jadwal perjalanan dan memastikan seluruh dokumen sesuai aturan.

Pemerintah juga menekankan pentingnya mengikuti prosedur resmi demi keamanan dan kelancaran ibadah haji.

Setting powder menjadi salah satu produk kosmetik yang perlu digunakan pada wajah. Hal ini karena setting powder bisa membantu makeup lebih tahan lama tanpa khawatir terhapus karena wajah berminyak atau cuaca.

Namun setting powder tidak bisa memberikan manfaat tersebut jika tidak digunakan dengan tepat. Terkadang, setting powder justru membuat makeup terlihat cakey dan membuat penampilan kurang menarik.

Oleh karena itu, berikut merupakan tips dan cara tepat menggunakan setting powder agar hasil makeup bisa lebih tahan lama dan terlihat memukau.

1. Ketahui Area Wajah yang Memerlukan Setting Powder

Setting powder bisa digunakan di seluruh bagian wajah, tetapi ada baiknya Anda menetapkan bagian tertentu di wajah yang memerlukan setting powder. Hal ini tentunya bergantung pada penampilan makeup yang diinginkan.

Jika ingin hasil akhir yang matte, setting powder bisa digunakan di seluruh bagian wajah, sedangkan untuk hasil akhir dewy, Anda bisa menggunakan setting powder di A-area saja.

Selain itu, akan lebih baik jika Anda menggunakan setting powder yang bisa menyerap minyak di T-area untuk hasil makeup yang lebih baik.

2. Gunakan Brush yang Berbeda

Produk setting powder pada umumnya sudah menyediakan spons alias puff untuk membantu mengaplikasikan produk pada wajah. Namun jika ingin hasil yang lebih sempurna, Anda bisa menggunakan kuas alias brush berbeda.

Puff bisa digunakan untuk mengaplikasikan setting powder dengan konsentrasi lebih tinggi di area tertentu, sedangkan brush bisa digunakan untuk membuat hasil setting powder lebih merata di wajah.

Gunakan brush lebar dengan bulu halus untuk mengaplikasikan setting powder ke seluruh bagian wajah. Sebaliknya, gunakan brush yang lebih kecil untuk area tersembunyi seperti sekitar hidung atau bawah mata.

3. Gunakan Face Mist

Jika ingin penampilan kulit yang mulus bak porselen tetapi takut mengaplikasikan setting powder terlalu tebal, gunakan face mist atau mist spray. Produk ini bisa membuat wajah tetap terhidrasi sekaligus membaurkan setting powder dengan foundation untuk tampilan yang lebih sempurna.

4. Setting Powder Bukan Sekadar Pengunci Foundation

Perlu diketahui bahwa setting powder bukan sekadar 'pengunci' foundation. Produk satu ini punya sejumlah fungsi yang bisa membuat makeup terlihat lebih menarik, termasuk membuat warna bronzer hingga blush on yang terlalu mencolok menjadi lebih lembut.

Setting powder juga bisa diaplikasikan secara ringan di bibir untuk memberikan hasil yang lebih matte. Produk ini menjadi salah satu kunci makeup tahan lama sekaligus tampak menarik.

Jemaah haji atau umrah biasanya menyempatkan diri untuk berkunjung ke beberapa tempat bersejarah di Madinah. Seperti diketahui, Madinah merupakan kota yang menyimpan banyak jejak perjuangan Nabi Muhammad SAW dan para sahabat saat menyebarkan agama Islam.

Banyak lokasi bersejarah yang menarik untuk dikunjungi di Madinah, sekaligus mempelajari sejarah Islam. Berikut beberapa tempat bersejarah di Madinah yang dapat dikunjungi jemaah haji atau umrah:

1. Masjid Nabawi

Masjid Nabawi merupakan salah satu masjid di Madinah yang paling utama bagi umat Islam. Di dalam Masjid Nabawi terdapat makam Rasulullah SAW dan Abu Bakar serta Umar bin Khattab.

Tak hanya itu, di Masjid Nabawi juga terdapat Raudhah, yang diyakini tempat paling mustajab untuk berdoa. Raudhah terletak di antara makam Rasulullah SAW dan mihrab.

Masjid Nabawi juga memiliki keindahan dan kemegahan, salah satunya kubah hijau (Green Dome) yang terletak di atas makam Rasulullah SAW. Selain itu, Masjid Nabawi juga dilengkapi dengan teknologi modern seperti kubah dan payung raksasa yang dapat dibuka dan ditutup secara otomatis. Masjid Nabawi menjadi salah satu destinasi utama dikunjungi para jemaah haji dan umrah.

2. Makam Rasulullah SAW

Makam Nabi Muhammad SAW yang terletak di dalam Masjid Nabawi, juga menjadi salah satu tujuan para jemaah haji dan umrah. Di samping makam Rasulullah SAW juga terdapat makam Abu Bakar dan Umar bin Khattab.

Namun, makam ini tidak dapat dilihat langsung oleh para jemaah dikarenakan lokasinya tertutup dan dijaga. Para jemaah biasanya berziarah dengan melewati area tersebut setelah dari Raudhah atau selesai salat.

Makam Rasulullah SAW dikelilingi beberapa pintu utama, yakni Pintu At-Taubah (barat), Pintu Fatimah (timur), Pintu Tahajjud (utara), serta pintu yang mengarah ke Raudhah.

Berikut doa yang dibaca ketika di Makam Rasulullah SAW:

َالسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ ورحمةُ اللهِ وبركاته، اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما صَلَّيْت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد، اللهم بارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما َباركت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد. أشهدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُوْلُ الله حَقاً، وأَنَّكَ قَدْ بَلَغْت َالرسالةَ، وأَدَّيْتَ الْأَمَانَةَ، ونَصَحْتَ الْأُمَّةَ، وجَاهَدْتَ في اللهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِ، فجزاك اللهُ عنْ أُمَّتِك أَفضلُ ما جزى نَبِيُّنَا عن أمته

Latin: Assalaamu'alaika ayyuhan nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu. Allahumma shalli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aali Muhammad kamaa shalayta 'ala aali Ibrahim, innaka hamiidum majiid. Allahumma baarik 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aali Muhammad kamaa baarakta 'ala aali Ibrahim, innaka hamiidum majiid. Asyhadu annaka Rasulullahi haqgan, wa annaka qad ballaghtar risaalata, wa addaital amaanata, wa nashahtal ummata, wa jaahadta fil laahi haqqa jihaadihi, fajazaakallahu 'ala ummatika afdhalu ma jaza nabiyyuna 'an ummatihi.

Artinya: Ya Allah semoga shalawat terlimpah kepada Muhammad dan keluarga Muhammad, sebagaimana shalawat terlimpah kepada Ibrahim dan keluarga Ibrahim, Engkau Maha Terpuji lagi Maha Mulia. Ya Allah semoga keberkahan terlimpah kepada Muhammad dan keluarga Muhammad, sebagaimana Engkau berkahi Ibrahim dan keluarga Ibrahim, sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Terpuji lagi Maha Mulia. Aku bersaksi bahwa Engkau (Muhammad) adalah Rasulullah yang haq. [Aku bersaksi bahwa Engkau] (Muhammad) telah menyampaikan risalah kenabian, telah menunaikan amanah, telah menasihati umat ini, dan berjihad di jalan Allah dengan sungguh-sungguh. Semoga Allah membalasmu atas apa yang telah Engkau perbuat untuk umatmu, lebih dari balasan para Nabi atas apa yang telah mereka perbuat untuk umatnya.

3. Raudhah Asy-Syarifah

Destinasi yang biasanya dikunjungi para jemaah haji dan umrah adalah Raudhah yang juga terletak di Masjid Nabawi. Raudhah terletak di antara makam Rasulullah SAW dan mihrab.

Raudhah juga diyakini sebagai tempat yang paling mustajab untuk berdoa. Raudhah juga sering disebut sebagai taman surga, sesuai dengan hadits Nabi Muhammad SAW yang mengatakan bahwa area antara rumah dan mimbar beliau merupakan bagian dari taman surga.

Raudhah memiliki luas sekitar 22 × 15 meter, ditandai dengan pilar-pilar putih dan lantai dengan karpet khas, sehingga mudah dikenali oleh jemaah.

4. Masjid Quba

Selain Masjid Nabawi, destinasi yang dapat dikunjungi saat ke Madinah adalah Masjid Quba. Masjid Quba merupakan masjid pertama yang dibangun oleh Nabi Muhammad SAW saat hijrah ke Madinah (dulu Yatsrib).

Masjid Quba terletak sekitar beberapa kilometer dari Masjid Nabawi dan dapat ditempuh sekitar 15 menit. Masjid megah berwarna putih serta memiliki beberapa kubah dan menara itu, disebutkan memiliki keutamaan yang sangat besar bagi jemaah yang berkunjung dan menunaikan salat dua rakaat di dalamnya akan mendapatkan pahala seperti umrah.

5. Kebun Kurma

Selain itu, juga ada kebun kurma yang terletak di Masjid Quba. Banyak pohon kurma yang tumbuh subur di sekitar Masjid Quba.

Namun, para jemaah biasanya mengunjungi toko kurma yang ada di sekitar kebun tersebut. Salah satu kurma yang terkenal adalah kurma ajwa, yang dikenal sebagai kurma kesukaan Nabi.

Dalam hadis disebutkan bahwa mengonsumsi tujuh butir kurma ajwa dapat memberikan perlindungan dari racun dan sihir. Tapi, juga ada berbagai kenis kurma lainnya yang juga dipercaya memiliki manfaat untuk kesehatan.

6. Makam Baqi'

Selanjutnya ada Jannatul Baqi yang merupakan kompleks pemakaman umat Islam di Madinah yang memiliki nilai sejarah penting. Sejak Nabi Muhammad SAW hijrah, tempat ini dijadikan pemakaman kaum Muslim dan tercatat ribuan sahabat serta keluarga Nabi dimakamkan di Jannatul Baqi.

Jannatul Baqi' juga dikenal Baqi' Al-Gharqad, yang berarti kawasan yang dahulu ditumbuhi pepohonan berduri. Jannatul Baqi terletak di tenggara Masjid Nabawi dengan area yang sangat luas.

Para jemaah dianjurkan ziarah ke makam Baqi', selain untuk mengenang sejarah para sahabat dan keluarga Nabi, juga memiliki nilai spiritual bagi umat Islam. Seperti tertera dalam Hadis Rasulullah SAW Dari Ibnu Umar RA. Rasulullah SAW bersabda,

"Aku adalah orang pertama yang akan dikeluarkan dari bumi, kemudian Abu Bakar dan Umar. Kemudian kami dibangkitkan dan kami pergi menuju Baqi, lalu mereka semua dibangkitkan bersamaku. Setelah itu, aku menunggu penduduk Makkah, dan mereka semua dibangkitkan bersamaku. Mereka semua berkumpul memenuhi antara dua Tanah Haram (Makkah dan Madinah). (HR. Ahmad dan Tirmidzi.)

7. Jabal Uhud

Jabal Uhud merupakan gunung yang terletak di utara Madinah dengan ketinggian sekitar 1.050 meter di atas permukaan laut. Tempat ini memiliki nilai sejarah penting karena menjadi lokasi terjadinya Perang Uhud pada bulan Syawal tahun ke-3 Hijriah.

Dalam peristiwa tersebut, sekitar 700 pasukan Muslim menghadapi 3.000 kaum Quraisy. Awalnya umat Islam unggul berkat strategi dan posisi pertahanan di sekitar Jabal Uhud yang sangat strategis.

Nabi Muhammad SAW bahkan telah berpesan agar pasukan tidak meninggalkan posisi tersebut, karena gunung ini menjadi titik penting dalam menahan serangan musuh. Namun, para pemanah di atas Gunung Uhud melihat harta milik kaum kafir Makkah yang berserakan dan tergiur lalu turun untuk mengambilnya.

Akibatnya, Khalid bin Walid yang saat itu masih berada di pihak Quraisy memanfaatkan momen tersebut dan memutar pasukan untuk naik ke Gunung Uhud, lalu menyerang dari arah belakang. Kaum muslimin pun mengalami kekalahan.

8. Masjid Qiblatain

Terakhir destinasi yang juga kerap didatangi jemaah adalah Masjid Qiblatain. Masjid ini merupakan salah satu masjid bersejarah di Madinah yang terkenal karena kaitannya dengan peristiwa perubahan arah kiblat.

Masjid Qiblatain terletak sekitar 3,5 km di barat laut Masjid Nabawi, tepatnya di wilayah Bani Salamah. Masjid ini dibangun sebelum peristiwa perpindahan kiblat.

Nama "Qiblatain" memiliki arti dua kiblat, karena di tempat inilah terjadi peralihan arah salat dari Baitul Maqdis ke Ka'bah saat Nabi Muhammad SAW sedang memimpin salat berjamaah.

Peristiwa perubahan kiblat ini juga tertulis dalam Surah Al-Baqarah ayat 144:

قَدْ نَرٰى تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِى السَّمَاۤءِۚ فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ قِبْلَةً تَرْضٰىهَا ۖ فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ ۗ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنْتُمْ فَوَلُّوْا وُجُوْهَكُمْ شَطْرَهٗ

Latin: Qad narā taqallubaka wajhika fis-samā'(i), fa lanuwalliyannaka qiblatan tarḍāhā, fawalli wajhaka syaṭral-masjidil-ḥarām(i), wa ḥaiṡumā kuntum fawallū wujūhakum syaṭrah(ū)

Artinya: Sungguh Kami (sering) melihat mukamu menengadah ke langit, maka sungguh Kami akan memalingkan kamu ke kiblat yang kamu sukai. Palingkanlah mukamu ke arah Masjidil Haram. Dan dimana saja kamu berada, Palingkanlah mukamu ke arahnya.

Di era sekarang, drama seolah jadi "bumbu wajib" di kehidupan-apalagi di media sosial. Tapi di tengah hiruk-pikuk itu, ada juga tipe orang yang justru memilih hidup lebih tenang, minim konflik, dan nggak suka membesar-besarkan masalah.

Menariknya, orang seperti ini biasanya punya pola kepribadian yang konsisten. Bukan kebetulan, tapi hasil dari cara mereka melihat hidup dan mengelola emosi.

Kalau kamu penasaran gimana mengenali tipe orang yang anti drama, ini penjelasan lengkapnya.

1. Punya Boundaries yang Jelas, Tahu Mana yang Perlu Dipedulikan

Orang yang nggak suka drama biasanya punya batasan diri (boundaries) yang kuat-baik secara emosional, waktu, maupun energi.

Mereka paham betul bahwa tidak semua hal perlu ditanggapi. Tidak semua masalah orang lain harus jadi urusan mereka. Jadi, alih-alih ikut terseret, mereka lebih memilih menjaga jarak yang sehat.

Dengan boundaries yang jelas:

• Mereka nggak gampang tersinggung
• Nggak mudah terseret konflik orang lain
• Nggak merasa harus "selalu ada" untuk semua orang

Hasilnya, energi mereka lebih terjaga dan hidup terasa lebih stabil.

2. Tenang Saat Konflik, Fokus ke Solusi Bukan Sensasi

Ciri paling kelihatan dari orang anti drama adalah cara mereka menghadapi masalah.

Saat orang lain panik, marah, atau bahkan "show off" kesedihan, mereka justru memilih tetap tenang. Bukan berarti nggak peduli-justru karena mereka tahu emosi berlebihan nggak menyelesaikan apa-apa.

Mereka cenderung:

• Tidak reaktif
• Tidak membesar-besarkan masalah
• Langsung cari solusi yang realistis

Pendekatan ini bikin mereka terlihat lebih dewasa secara emosional. Mereka nggak butuh validasi dari orang lain untuk membuktikan bahwa mereka "sedang tersakiti".

3. Jadi Diri Sendiri, Jujur, dan Komunikatif

Orang yang nggak suka drama biasanya sudah "berdamai" dengan dirinya sendiri. Mereka tahu siapa diri mereka, apa nilai yang mereka pegang, dan nggak merasa perlu pura-pura jadi orang lain.

Karena itu:

• Mereka tampil apa adanya
• Lebih jujur dalam menyampaikan perasaan
• Punya komunikasi yang jelas dan nggak berbelit

Alih-alih menyimpan masalah lalu meledak jadi drama, mereka memilih menyampaikan sejak awal dengan cara yang sehat.

Kejujuran dan komunikasi inilah yang jadi kunci kenapa hidup mereka cenderung lebih simpel dan minim konflik.

Intinya

Orang anti drama bukan berarti hidupnya tanpa masalah. Bedanya, mereka tahu cara mengelola masalah tanpa harus membuatnya jadi tontonan atau beban emosional berkepanjangan.

Mereka memilih:

• Menjaga energi
• Menghindari konflik yang tidak perlu
• Fokus pada hal yang benar-benar penting

Dan pada akhirnya, hidup mereka terasa jauh lebih ringan.

Kalau dilihat dari tiga ciri ini, kamu termasuk tipe yang anti drama atau justru masih sering kebawa suasana?

Violet Grohl sudah berani bicara lantang soal realita di industri musik ketika usianya masih 19 tahun.

Putri dari Dave Grohl pentolan Foo Fighters ini mendadak jadi sorotan setelah melontarkan kritik tajam terhadap musisi pria seusianya.

Dalam wawancara terbaru, Violet tanpa basa-basi mengungkapkan ketidaksukaannya-bukan tanpa alasan.

"Saya tidak menyukai musisi pria seusia saya. Aku tidak peduli. Mereka punya masalah sikap," ujarnya di The Forty-Five, Selasa (14/4).

Bahkan, ia menambahkan pernyataan yang langsung jadi bahan perbincangan.

"Sudah waktunya mereka duduk, diam, dan memainkan musik mereka," lanjutnya.

Pernyataan ini bukan sekadar opini kosong. Violet mengaku mengalami langsung bagaimana lingkungan musik, khususnya skena hardcore, masih terasa eksklusif bagi perempuan.

Ia menyoroti bagaimana perempuan kerap dipandang tidak cocok berada di ruang-ruang seperti mosh pit atau komunitas musik keras.

"Banyak yang bilang, 'kamu terlalu feminin, ini bukan tempatmu'," ungkapnya.

Padahal, menurut Violet, banyak perempuan yang ingin terlibat dan menikmati musik di ruang yang sama.

Ia lantas mendorong lebih banyak perempuan untuk terjun dan menciptakan ruangnya sendiri di industri musik, khususnya di genre punk dan alternatif.

Sebagai anak dari vokalis Foo Fighters, Violet juga tidak lepas dari label "nepo baby". Namun ia memilih menjawabnya lewat karya.

Album debutnya Be Sweet To Me dijadwalkan rilis pada 29 Mei, menjadi langkah besar untuk membuktikan identitasnya sebagai musisi independen.

Menariknya, proyek ini ia kerjakan tanpa campur tangan langsung dari sang ayah. Bahkan Dave Grohl sendiri mengaku baru tahu soal kontrak rekaman Violet setelah semuanya berjalan.

Violet juga menyoroti pentingnya solidaritas antar musisi perempuan. Ia menyebut nama Billie Eilish sebagai salah satu inspirasi yang membuka jalan bagi generasi baru di musik alternatif-pop.

Baginya, melihat perempuan sukses dengan cara mereka sendiri adalah bukti bahwa ruang di industri ini bisa diperluas.

Komentar pedas Violet memang menuai pro-kontra. Tapi di balik itu, ada pesan yang lebih dalam tentang kesetaraan, keberanian bersuara, dan pentingnya menciptakan ruang yang inklusif di industri musik.

Violet Grohl seolah tidak datang hanya sebagai anak siapa, tapi sebagai suara baru yang siap mengguncang panggung dengan caranya sendiri.

Momen santai di live streaming malah berubah jadi perdebatan panas. Doja Cat mendadak viral setelah dengan tegas menolak ajakan fans untuk bermain Roblox saat siaran di Twitch.

Alih-alih sekadar menolak, pernyataan Doja Cat justru memicu reaksi beragam karena dianggap cukup blak-blakan-bahkan kontroversial.

Saat sedang live bermain Fortnite, Doja Cat merespons permintaan fans yang ingin melihatnya mencoba Roblox.

"Orang-orang menyuruhku main Roblox. Minggir sana. Aku wanita berusia 30 tahun," ujarnya.

Ia juga sempat menyinggung salah satu mode populer di Roblox, Dress To Impress, namun tetap menegaskan bahwa game tersebut bukan untuknya.

"Aku mengerti orang suka itu... tapi kalian tahu siapa yang sangat menyukai Roblox? Anak-anak kecil," lanjutnya.

Pernyataan itu langsung ramai dibahas, apalagi karena disampaikan di siaran dengan batasan usia 18+.

Situasi makin panas saat Doja Cat menambahkan pernyataan yang jauh lebih sensitif.

"Tahukah kalian siapa lagi yang menyukai Roblox? Para pedofil," ucapnya.

Ia kemudian menutup dengan penegasan bahwa dirinya tidak akan bermain Roblox, bahkan mungkin selamanya.

Pernyataan ini langsung viral di media sosial, ditonton ratusan ribu hingga jutaan kali, sekaligus memicu perdebatan antara yang mendukung dan yang mengkritik.

Komentar Doja Cat muncul di tengah kekhawatiran global soal keamanan anak di platform game online seperti Roblox.

Beberapa kasus hukum dan gugatan terhadap Roblox Corporation sebelumnya memang menyoroti potensi risiko interaksi tidak aman di dalam game, terutama bagi pengguna usia muda.

Meski pihak platform telah menghadirkan fitur seperti verifikasi usia, sebagian pihak masih meragukan efektivitasnya, terutama di era teknologi AI yang makin canggih.

Di satu sisi, Doja Cat hanya menyampaikan preferensi pribadi bahwa ia merasa Roblox bukan untuk dirinya. Namun di sisi lain, cara penyampaiannya dianggap terlalu generalisasi dan sensitif.

Inilah yang membuat pernyataannya jadi viral, bukan sekadar nolak main game tersebut, tapi menyentuh isu yang lebih luas-tentang usia, komunitas, dan keamanan digital.

Kontroversi ini menunjukkan satu hal yakni di era digital, satu kalimat di live streaming bisa langsung jadi bahan perdebatan global.

Sementara dalam kasus Doja Cat, pernyataan spontan justru berubah jadi diskusi serius tentang dunia game online dan batasannya.

HENDERSON, Nev. -- The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to keep the first pick and take quarterback Fernando Mendoza during the 2026 NFL draft, but that hasn't stopped teams from calling general manager John Spytek about the possibility of trading the top choice.

"We've gotten a few calls, and those teams know where they stand," Spytek said at Tuesday's predraft news conference.

Spytek has always been open-minded about trade offers. He mentioned that good ones can materialize on draft night if a team waits a few moments before making a selection.

But if team leaders are convinced about a player, he said, they will maintain their draft spot.

"If there's a player that stands out that we feel it's not worth losing, it's not worth even picking up the phone, then we'll just make the pick," Spytek said. "But if it's a player that we're not as excited about, or there's a group of players that we would love to pick from, and we can get value for that, we're certainly open to listening to that."

Mendoza is expected to become the 30th quarterback selected No. 1 in the common draft era (since 1967). It would be the fourth straight year a quarterback is picked first, tied for the second-longest streak in the common draft era.

If Mendoza is drafted by the Raiders, he will be in a quarterback competition with newly signed veteran Kirk Cousins and Aidan O'Connell. Spytek and coach Klint Kubiak prefer that a rookie quarterback play behind an experienced veteran.

They understand, however, that the best player must play.

"Ultimately, this is a meritocracy, and the best guy will play," Spytek said. "It's just really hard to play really well at a young age. But we've seen plenty of quarterbacks do it recently. We added Kirk, we have Aidan, and we'll see how it goes."

The previous six quarterbacks drafted No. 1 -- Cam Ward, Caleb Williams, Bryce Young, Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow and Kyler Murray -- started in Week 1 of their rookie season. The last one who didn't was Baker Mayfield in 2018. For Spytek, patience is a necessity when dealing with a young quarterback, even though he understands that can be challenging to show in this league.

"It's a hard position to play, and there's a lot to learn beyond throwing [a] football and being a good teammate," Spytek said. "A lot of these guys live their entire life in shotgun [formation]. They don't huddle. You really got to teach some of these guys how to run a huddle, how to break a huddle, how to get under center and call a cadence."

He added: "We all understand there's not a ton of patience in the job that we chose here, but if you can find some level of patience and put people in positions when they're ready, that's the best way forward."

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- LaMelo Ball made a layup with 4.7 seconds left in overtime, Miles Bridges blocked Davion Mitchell's attempt at a winning layup at the buzzer, and the Charlotte Hornets beat Miami 127-126 in a wild start to the NBA's play-in games, eliminating the Heat from the playoffs Tuesday night.

Ball finished with 30 points and 10 assists and Bridges had 28 points and nine rebounds as the Hornets won their first postseason home game in a decade. Coby White had 19 points, including a turnaround 3 with 10.8 second left in regulation to send the game to OT.

Ball became the fourth player with at least 30 points and 10 assists in a play-in game, joining Josh Giddey (2023 with Oklahoma City Thunder), Kyrie Irving (2022 with Brooklyn Nets) and Damian Lillard (2020 with Portland Trail Blazers).

Mitchell had 28 points and Andrew Wiggins added 27 for the Heat, who lost Bam Adebayo to a lower back injury when Ball tripped him in the second quarter.

The Hornets will travel to face the loser of Wednesday's matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic on Friday night for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Charlotte is seeking its first playoff appearance in a decade.

The Heat will miss the playoffs for the first time since the 2018-19 season.

Ball's driving layup put the Hornets up by five with 26 seconds left in OT. But he made two critical mistakes after that.

Tyler Herro, who scored 23 points for Miami, hit a twisting, corner 3, and Ball then turned the ball over in the backcourt and fouled Herro on a 3-point shot. Herro made all three free throws to give Miami a 126-125 lead with 8.7 seconds left.

After a timeout, Ball drove the right side of the lane and made a leaning, right-handed layup to give Charlotte the lead. Miami, without any timeouts, pushed the ball up the court and Bridges chased down Mitchell to block his layup attempt, setting off a frenzied celebration.

Ball flexed at midcourt as players mobbed each other.

Despite the loss of Adebayo, the Heat remained in control until late in the third quarter, when White banked in a 3-pointer and then added another 3 at the top of the key as part of a 10-0 Charlotte run.

White, acquired in a midseason trade with Chicago, drained another 3 in the closing seconds of the third quarter to give Charlotte an 89-83 lead.

The Heat then built a 102-95 lead in the fourth quarter behind two 3s from Wiggins.

The Hornets tied it when White caught an inbounds pass and made an unbalanced 3 from the corner. Herro had a chance to win it in regulation but hit the back iron on a 3-point try.

The Associated Press and ESPN Research contributed to this report.

LIVERPOOL, England -- In the end, Liverpool's latest European odyssey ended not with a bang, but with a whimper.

The second leg of the Reds' UEFA Champions League quarterfinal tie with Paris Saint-Germain had all the ingredients to be a European classic, and in many ways it delivered. The Anfield crowd was at its vicious, vociferous best as momentum swung between two sides capable, to varying degrees, of genuine excellence. Liverpool -- who for much of this term have looked a pale imitation of the side that romped to last season's Premier League title -- ran and slid and pumped their fists as they sought to overturn a daunting 2-0 first-leg deficit.

But, just as they were at the Parc des Princes last week, PSG were simply too good. The European champions were made to suffer at times on Tuesday night, but they held their nerve. And when chances arose to underscore their dominance in this tie, Ousmane Dembélé seized them, scoring twice in the second half to send the French side through to the semifinals with a 2-0 win and a 4-0 aggregate victory.

Moments after the Ballon d'Or winner had netted the visitors' second of the evening, Florian Wirtz lashed a wild effort over the bar for Liverpool to a chorus of jeers from the traveling PSG fans. In many ways, the sequence encapsulated the current disparity between the two sides.

- Despite Yamal's form, Atleti wash away Barça out of Champions League
- Gündogan Awards: Kane, Putellas, Modric lead 2025-26 class
- Why Klopp, Luis Enrique are the only managers to fix Real Madrid

PSG have struck the perfect blend of arrogance and humility. They are totally assured of their own brilliance but possess the alacrity to back up the hype by leaving everything out on the pitch.

Like Liverpool, they are a side are packed with star power. Yet while PSG boss Luis Enrique has been able to corral his players into one glittering constellation, Arne Slot has yet to imbue his team with the confidence to truly sparkle. Still, it was telling that there were no signs of mutiny at the final whistle, even as the wind and rain swirled around Anfield.

Instead, the majority of Liverpool supporters stayed behind and applauded in recognition of a battling display from their side. The hosts generated an expected goals (xG) value of 1.94 compared to the visitors' 1.25, had 21 shots compared to PSG's 12 and recorded more than double the amount of touches in the opposition box.

Had PSG center back Marquinhos not slid in at the last to deny Virgil van Dijk a certain goal in the first half, or had Liverpool's penalty for a challenge on Alexis Mac Allister not been overturned in the second, the outcome could have been very different. But, ultimately, fortune did not favor Slot's side.

That, too, has been an enduring theme of Liverpool's season. So many times, when it has looked as if the Reds have managed to pick themselves up and dust themselves off, the fates have conspired to send them tumbling back onto the canvas.

Here, the withdrawal of Hugo Ekitike after half an hour with what looked like a serious injury presented yet another setback for Liverpool to overcome. Before Tuesday, the French attacker had shared the pitch for only 88 minutes with fellow summer signings Wirtz and Alexander Isak, who was handed his first start in more than four months against PSG after recovering from a broken leg. That the trio have so seldom been afforded the chance to forge a connection reflects the tribulations Slot has had to contend with this term, with the Dutchman now unlikely to have all three players available before the end of the campaign.

On his return to the starting lineup, Isak struggled to showcase the quality that saw Liverpool splash a British-record £125 million on him last summer, enjoying just five touches before his withdrawal at the break. With nothing to lose in the second half, the Reds attacked with a fervor that has evaded them for much of the season, but a cocktail of poor finishing and fine goalkeeping from Matvei Safonov denied them the opportunity to truly set this contest alight.

"Of course, we are very disappointed because I think there were parts of the second half where you could feel, 'If we could just score now, this could become a very special night'," Slot said in his postmatch news conference. "But the future looks very bright for this team, for this club. We have showed we can compete with the champions of Europe in our stadium. To be the dominant team, not many teams can be dominant against PSG and create as many chances as we did. Creating chances is one thing, scoring is a second."

While Slot will be left to rue his team falling foul of the fine margins, the external clamor surrounding his future will no doubt continue to swell as Liverpool brace for their first trophyless season since 2021. The Reds have lost 17 of their 50 games in all competitions and must successfully navigate a tricky run of fixtures -- starting with this weekend's visit to Merseyside rivals Everton -- if they are to be playing in the Champions League again next season.

For Liverpool, it is now top five or bust. With no Champions League miracle to cling to, even that might not be enough to convince supporters that Slot should still be in the dugout the next time Anfield plays host to one of Europe's elite.

MADRID -- How confident was Hansi Flick of turning this UEFA Champions League quarterfinal tie around?

"Nine or ten [out of ten]," the Barcelona coach told Spanish TV before kickoff, undeterred by Atlético Madrid's imposing 2-0 first-leg lead.

And why not? When you've got Lamine Yamal, you've got every reason to be positive. The teenager is already so good, so decisive, so often, that it was no surprise to see him dominating this second leg at the Metropolitano right from the start, unfazed by the occasion or the atmosphere.

- Meet Muriqi, the 'Pirate' battling Mbappé to be LaLiga's top scorer
- Tracking Europe's top soccer leagues: Title races, UCL, relegation

"Since I was a kid, I've taken on a lot of responsibility," the 18-year-old said the day before the game. "I'm used to it. I don't mind."

Yamal's first-half performance made the prospect of a comeback possible, putting Barça 2-0 up on the night and 2-2 on aggregate. But the hosts endured, as veterans like Antoine Griezmann and captain Koke were outstanding, and they found a way back.

"It was really hard for us at first today," Koke said afterwards.

"But we were able to get back into the game. I kept saying, 'We're level in the tie, we have to keep going, and get a goal.' And that's what we did."

At kickoff, Atlético would have been determined to keep Yamal and the opening stages as quiet and incident-free as possible, protecting that two-goal advantage. Good luck with that. Just 30 seconds had passed when the teenager picked up the ball, charged straight at the Atlético defense, and saw his shot tipped around the post by goalkeeper Juan Musso.

It was a warning for the home side, if they needed it. But keeping Yamal quiet was never likely to be an option, especially for this makeshift Atlético defense, with Robin Le Normand and Clément Lenglet -- neither first-choice for coach Diego Simeone this season -- starting at center back.

Four minutes in, Yamal made it 1-0, and the culprit was Lenglet, who often looks an accident waiting to happen when he appears in these high-profile games. Under pressure, the defender gave the ball away. Ferran Torres played in Yamal, who finished through Musso's legs.

It was the 18-year-old's 11th Champions League goal. No player has scored more before his 19th birthday, as Kylian Mbappé had only managed 10 at the same age. Already, Atlético were wobbling, the stadium's raucous pre-match confidence shaken. On 23 minutes, it was 2-0, Torres finishing from Dani Olmo's clever through ball.

Torres had been a brave selection from Flick, picked ahead of Robert Lewandowski. Torres went 13 games over two months before scoring against Espanyol last weekend. Here, Flick made the right call, as Torres delivered again.

Only a long break in play, as Fermín López received treatment for an injury to his face, allowed Atlético to compose themselves. Ademola Lookman's 31st-minute goal, after Griezmann played in Marcos Llorente on the right, helped the Metropolitano crowd find its voice again. Lookman has now been involved in nine goals since joining Atlético in February, second only to Julián Alvarez.

By halftime, Barcelona had created five big chances, according to Opta. Yamal had scored one of them and created three others, for Olmo, López and Torres. But they were still behind in the tie. Their 2-0 defeat at Camp Nou last week had given them so much to do. Even Lamine's magic hadn't yet been enough.

In the second half, there were more heart-in-mouth moments for Atlético -- Torres had a goal disallowed for offside, and Olmo shot over the bar when well placed -- but Barcelona never quite recovered the Yamal-led momentum of the first-half push.

Eric García's late red card, for a last-man shirt pull on substitute Alexander Sørloth, made the task that much harder. It was Barcelona's second red card of the tie, after Pau Cubarsí's early dismissal last week, two sendings off which have complicated an already difficult task. In all competitions, Barcelona have received eight red cards this season and three of them have come against Atlético.

In eight minutes of added time, Flick resorted to throwing Ronald Araújo up front, and Barça were almost rewarded when he headed over the bar in the 97th minute. After that, there was time for one last Yamal dribble, a cross to the far post towards Araújo, and it was game over.

"We played well, and we gave everything," Frenkie de Jong said. "We tried. The feeling is that luck wasn't on our side. We have to keep going, we're going in the right direction. With one player fewer, it's always more difficult."

Simeone and Atlético's Champions League record against Barcelona is impeccable, advancing in the quarterfinals in 2014, 2016 and now in 2026. The last two times, Atlético reached the final, only to lose to rivals Real Madrid.

This current edition is a more exciting and more vulnerable team than their reputation -- and that of Simeone -- might suggest. Already well adrift in LaLiga, they have a Copa del Rey final on Saturday against Real Sociedad -- and then will be able to focus all their efforts on this competition.

As for Barcelona and Yamal, their season is almost certain to end with a second consecutive LaLiga title, but hopes of a first Champions League win since 2015 will have to wait another year.

"The next step is to win LaLiga," said Flick. "We are on the way. It's not done yet. It's a big dream to win the Champions League. We have a young team and they can and will improve."

Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore was sentenced to 18 months' probation and fined just over $1,000 Tuesday for two misdemeanors stemming from an incident at the apartment of a staff member with whom he had engaged in an inappropriate relationship.

Last month, Moore, 40, pleaded no contest to trespassing and malicious use of a telecommunications device involving a domestic relationship in exchange for dropping more serious charges, including a felony.

"I don't believe, when I look at the entirety of this situation, that incarceration should be appropriate," District Court Judge Cedric Simpson said during Tuesday's sentencing in Washtenaw County Court. "I warn you, Mr. Moore, should there be a violation, all bets are off. I don't like sending people to jail, but I don't have a problem doing it."

Simpson took time to note that he appreciated the situation that the staff member, Paige Shiver, was in that day.

"Frankly, Mr. Moore, you had no right to do what you did," Simpson said. "I know she was placed in fear. It was a traumatic experience for you -- it was certainly a traumatic experience for her -- but you had no right to spread your pain to her."

Shiver, who didn't attend the hearing, released a statement, saying the sentence "does not reflect the harm done to me."

"He broke into my apartment, crying, yelling, enraged, and came at me with knives," Shiver said. "I was threatened, and I feared for my life."

Moore, who was accompanied to the sentencing by his wife, Kelli, was also barred from using drugs or alcohol, possessing firearms, or having any contact with Shiver, 32. Moore was also ordered to continue counseling.

Before sentencing, Simpson took time to praise prosecutors for dropping initial charges, including stalking, because it didn't "in good faith" stand up to additional facts that came out in the investigation. That included calls to and from Moore and Shiver and the fact that she had given Moore the code to her door.

"The people could have just decided to proceed with this case and let the chips fall where they may," Simpson said. "... Instead, they did the right thing. ... The criminal charges that Mr. Moore would have been guilty to, he pled to. No more, no less."

The malicious use of a telecommunications device charge could have resulted in up to six months in jail, but even before Simpson's explanation, any amount of incarceration was unexpected.

Simpson said he was especially moved by the support of Kelli Moore, particularly in her recorded discussions with police that day, with children making noise in the background.

"The person who is saving you from the full wrath of this court is the person who you betrayed," Simpson said. "When all of the circumstances are happening to her, and she is absorbing them in real time, she not once loses her focus, not once bats an eye to doubt you, not once wants something terrible to happen to you. As I listened to the terror in her voice that day, I don't think there would be anybody in the world who would have blamed her from saying, 'I am done here.'

"I am amazed by you, Ms. Moore," Simpson added. "I don't know where it comes from. If we had more people like you in the world, I may be out of a job, but the world would be a better place."

In a brief statement to the court before sentencing, Sherrone Moore thanked Jesus, his attorney and "my beautiful wife, Kelli, for her support and strength to stand by me." He then told Simpson, "I've taken this process very seriously."

Ellen Michaels, Moore's attorney, told Simpson that since the incident, Moore has entered therapy and rededicated his life and commitment to his family

"This is a man who is not defined by this moment but how he has responded to it," Michaels said, arguing for probation.

Moore was abruptly fired by Michigan on Dec. 10 after Shiver told the university that the two had been involved in a relationship the school determined violated his contract. She had broken off the relationship two days prior.

Moore responded by driving to Shiver's apartment and confronting her. Shiver told police that the married father of three grabbed a butter knife and threatened to harm himself.

After leaving the apartment, Moore was taken into custody in the parking lot of a local church after his wife called police saying he was a threat to himself. On body camera video, Moore did not deny the relationship to police, but he was adamant he neither broke into the apartment nor threatened Shiver.

Originally charged with two separate misdemeanors and one felony, Moore reached a plea deal with local prosecutors last month. His no-contest plea was treated as guilty by Simpson but, for potential civil lawsuit purposes, does not represent an admission of guilt.

Shiver, through her attorney, publicly identified herself following the plea deal, accusing the University of Michigan of failing to protect her from what she deemed "years of manipulation, harassment, and exploitation" by Moore.

Her employment contract with Michigan was not renewed this offseason.

In late December, Michigan hired former Utah coach Kyle Whittingham to replace Moore.

The sentencing concludes the criminal aspect of one of football's great falls from grace. Just over four months ago, and just 2 miles down the road from the courthouse, Moore was in charge of the historic Wolverines program, preparing the team for a bowl game and earning more than $5 million per year.

Moore coached the Wolverines for two seasons before his dismissal. He previously served as the team's offensive coordinator during the 2023 national championship season.

He and his wife have three children.

Earlier last fall, Michigan conducted an investigation into Moore and Shiver, who served as his personal assistant, but both parties denied the relationship. In November, the university contracted with Chicago-based law firm Jenner & Block to further investigate.

It has since commissioned the firm to conduct a thorough review into the practices and culture of the athletic department following a series of scandals.

That report is expected this spring, university sources told ESPN.

MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee Brewers outfielder/designated hitter Christian Yelich is expected to miss at least a month with an adductor strain.

Yelich left in the fifth inning of the Brewers' 8-6 loss to the Washington Nationals on Sunday with what the team described as tightness in his left hamstring. The Brewers placed him on the injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Monday, and said he had a second-degree adductor strain.

The Brewers estimated he would return in mid-to-late May, though Yelich said he didn't want to put a timeline on it.

"I'm just trying to go about it the best I can, do a good job with the rehab and get back out there as quickly as possible," Yelich said.

Milwaukee also selected infielder/outfielder Greg Jones from Triple-A Nashville and transferred left-handed pitcher Rob Zastryzny to the 60-day injured list.

The 34-year-old Yelich was in the lineup as a designated hitter Sunday and said he started to feel something was off while grounding into a fielder's choice in the first inning. He stayed in the game and grounded out in the third before getting pulled for a pinch hitter in the fifth.

"After running to first in the first inning, it just kind of felt weird," Yelich said. "I just thought it was tight, kept going and after my (next) at-bat, I felt like it was weird."

Milwaukee already had outfielder Jackson Chourio and first baseman Andrew Vaughn on the injured list due to hand issues. The Brewers said Tuesday that Chourio is expected to return in early May and Vaughn could come back in mid-May.

The Brewers also are playing without starting pitcher Quinn Priester (thoracic outlet) and reliever Jared Koenig (elbow). Milwaukee had lost five straight for its longest skid since 2003 as it prepared to open a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday.

"We've had a lot of adversity early," Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. "We've faced this before. It just seems different in terms of how it's kind of piled on us."

Yelich, the 2018 NL MVP and a three-time All-Star, is hitting .314 with one home run, 10 RBI and three steals in 15 games.

Murphy said Gary Sánchez probably will get much of the playing time at designated hitter in Yelich's absence.

Sánchez replaced Yelich in the fifth inning Sunday and hit a game-tying, three-run homer in the seventh. He entered Tuesday with four homers, matching Jake Bauers for the team lead.

Yelich is coming off a 2025 season in which he played 150 games - his second-highest total since joining the Brewers in 2018 - after back issues had limited him for multiple years.

He said this is the first time he has dealt with a soft-tissue injury. Now, he's the latest key player missing from Milwaukee's lineup.

"No one's going to feel bad for us," Yelich said. "You've got to navigate injuries and difficult parts of the season. The guys will be all right. Just kind of hold it down. It's a really long year. There's good times and bad times in a season. You've got to deal with adversity throughout."

Jones, 28, was batting .317 with a .462 on-base percentage, no homers, seven RBI and seven steals in 13 games with Triple-A Nashville. He was in the major leagues for six games with Colorado in 2024 and three with the Chicago White Sox last year.

NFL reporter Dianna Russini has resigned from The Athletic less than a week after published photos of her and New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel at an Arizona resort prompted an internal investigation at the New York Times-owned sports outlet.

The New York Post last week published the photos of Vrabel and Russini at the Sedona hotel and said they were taken before the NFL league meeting that began in Phoenix on March 29.

"I have covered the NFL with professionalism and dedication throughout my career, and I stand behind every story I have ever published. When the Page Six item first appeared, The Athletic supported me unequivocally, expressed confidence in my work and pride in my journalism. For that I am grateful. In the days that followed, unfortunately, commentators in various media have engaged in self-feeding speculation that is simply unmoored from the facts," Russini said in a letter sent Tuesday to Athletic executive editor Steven Ginsberg.

"Moreover, this media frenzy is hurtling forward without regard for the review process The Athletic is trying to complete. It continues to escalate, fueled by repeated leaks, and I have no interest in submitting to a public inquiry that has already caused far more damage than I am willing to accept. Rather than allowing this to continue, I have decided to step aside now -- before my current contract expires on June 30. I do so not because I accept the narrative that has been constructed around this episode, but because I refuse to lend it further oxygen or to let it define me or my career."

Russini joined The Athletic in 2023 after nearly a decade at ESPN, where she held various roles, including "SportsCenter" anchor, NFL analyst and insider. She hosted a podcast for The Athletic and made appearances on its video platform.

After publication of the photos, Vrabel and Russini, who are both married, released statements to the Post downplaying what the photos depict.

Russini said they "don't represent the group of six people who were hanging out during the day."

Vrabel told the newspaper: "Those photos show a completely innocent interaction and any suggestion otherwise is laughable."

Sources had confirmed to ESPN that the Times' digital outlet was investigating Russini's conduct following a report from Front Office Sports.

That decision came after Ginsberg previously told the Post that the photos "lacked essential context" and lauded her work with The Athletic.

Vrabel, who won three Super Bowls as a player with New England, is preparing for his second season as coach of the Patriots. He was the AP NFL Coach of the Year after leading the team to a 14-3 finish last season, which ended with a Super Bowl loss to Seattle. Vrabel previously won the AP NFL Coach of the Year award with Tennessee in 2021.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- After putting his team through its first practice in preparation for the playoffs, Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick said Tuesday he doesn't have any more information about when Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves could return from their respective injuries.

"They're out indefinitely," Redick said. "I'm not going to have an update for you this week. They're out indefinitely."

Reaves, who is recovering from a Grade 2 left oblique strain, was at the team's facility and shot free throws after practice with teammates -- while wearing slide sandals. After sustaining the injury April 2 in a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, his rehab is expected to take four to six weeks, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.

Doncic is still in Spain, where he has received multiple injections on his Grade 2 left hamstring strain. Sources told ESPN that Doncic will return to L.A. on Friday join his team for Game 1 of its first-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets on Saturday (8:30 p.m. ET, ABC).

The Lakers will have LeBron James in the lineup, coming off Western Conference Player of the Week honors to help L.A. to a 3-1 week to close out the regular season after their star backcourt was injured, but Redick said the team's game plan won't solely be leaning on the 23-year veteran.

"I do think we have other options [other than] just him having the ball and going against a set defense every single possession," Redick said. "We'll look to mix in different actions depending on their lineups and their coverages."

After giving his team an off day Monday, Redick mapped out the rest of the week to prepare for the series opener.

Tuesday "was about us," Redick said. Wednesday, the coaching staff will introduce the Rockets' personnel, featuring the NBA's fifth all-time leading scorer, Kevin Durant; All-Star big man Alperen Sengun; and the 6-foot-7 wing, Amen Thompson, considered to be one of the most athletic players in the league. Then Thursday, the team will do their scout and Friday, reinforce that scout.

"Saturday, we'll be good to go," Redick said.

While focusing on his group Tuesday, Redick planned a more active practice that he did last spring leading up to their first-round opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves, a 117-95 defeat.

"We wanted to reach certain thresholds, and we did," Redick said, referring to tracking data monitoring his players loads, accelerations and jumps during the session. "Thought the guys had a very business-like, focused approach to today's practice."

The one way Redick introduced Houston to the mix was by running his players through a box-out drill.

The Rockets led the league in total rebounds per game (48.1) and offensive rebounds per game (15.0). The Lakers finished 27th.

"Taking care of the basketball and boxing out, that's the series," Redick said. "Scheme, personnel, obviously important, but if we don't take care of the ball and we don't box out, we're not going to win the series."

Lakers backup center Jaxson Hayes, who returned to practice Tuesday after sitting out the past four games because of a sore left foot, said the drill reminded him of his college days at the University of Texas.

And L.A. will have a Texas-sized challenge with this Rockets team.

"I know I can impact the game with my energy: running, getting rebounds, boxing guys out," Hayes said. "Especially Clint [Capela] and the bigs, I know they're on the glass heavy, so just making sure I keep them off and doing whatever the team needs me to do."

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Everyone who met Dave McGinnis has a story. The longtime NFL coach -- who spent more than three decades in the NFL, most notably as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals from 2000-03, before passing away Monday at 74 years old -- was the mayor of everywhere.

His orbit was galactic in size and his West Texas roots always remained in rhythm with the words that cascaded over those around him. People and places were his legacy; a handshake here, a laugh there, a story about how he might have met your uncle one time. And folks were always impressed by how he always remembered their names.

Because McGinnis always remembered everybody, which makes the list of those who will remember him a long one.

I'm in that crowd. Mac made me drive his immense truck every time he forgot his glasses, or when he didn't want to admit not knowing the exact way to where we were headed.

I'd always say we could just put my car in the back and bring it along -- that it would be a more convincing use of his apprentice monster truck that never actually went off road. And he'd always made fun how I parked that truck wherever we had found tamales, or hand-made tortillas or wherever he had declared had "the best salsa on planet Earth."

He routinely had a business card with him among the day-to-day potpourri seemingly always in his pockets, a card a restaurant owner in Phoenix had written "VIP always" on the back. He'd show that when we'd breeze in and they'd move tables around to seat whoever was with "Coach Mac" and brought the best of food until there was no more time left in the day.

Football introduced me to Mac decades ago, and it's been quite the ride. I stare at the keyboard of my laptop knowing no matter how many words you type, sometimes there still aren't enough to really tell a story.

February marked the 39th year I attended the combine -- Mac always said if I made it to 40 he'd get me a deal on a "big-ass truck," because well, he always seemed to know somebody who knew somebody who could get you a used spy satellite, a granite brick, snakeskin boots or whatever you could dream up.

And if you stroll down Meridian Street in downtown Indianapolis, you'll find yourself in front of Shapiro's Deli. There's a big round table near the front window of the restaurant, with six seats and countless memories.

Year after year at the combine, Mac would hold court among our core group. The laughs were too loud for the yawning breakfast crowd, and annually we would all tell each other the story -- again -- of how we were so early one year we beat the cook to the front door. Turned out the cook just didn't show up that day.

And he'd always gripe about paying, even though he would absolutely have it no other way. He'd also pull out a softball-sized wad of cash wrapped in a rubber band, to which I'd tell him to get a damn wallet like a normal person.

The group got smaller over the years as life moved on the way life moves on. Retirements, down-sizing, layoffs. etc. The last few years it was just he and I, but we laughed loud enough for all of us. And he'd remind me you just aren't anybody unless you have a bobblehead of yourself, and I'll be damned if Mac didn't have a bobblehead, too.

This February, it was just me at our round table on the second to last day of the combine, as Mac had missed his first. His last text to me was about the draft and that if I kept at it, I might hit "guru status like coach Mac" with the requisite 17 emojis he sent with every text.

But, like I say, everybody has a Dave McGinnis story.

Sekuel film Ready or Not, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, tayang di bioskop mulai Rabu, 15 April 2026.

Sekuel ini melanjutkan kisah Grace (Samara Weaving) yang kembali diburu dalam permainan mematikan yang lebih brutal dan penuh konspirasi.

Menyambut penayangannya, instalasi permainan interaktif ala Ready or Not 2 pun dihadirkan di kawasan Pasaraya Blok M, Jakarta Selatan.

Instalasi ini menghadirkan pengalaman seru sekaligus menegangkan dengan memadukan konsep visual, teknologi, dan suasana yang imersif. Pengunjung akan merasakan pengalaman masuk ke dalam dunia Grace, yakni diburu dan memburu.

Instalasi Ready or Not 2 Blok M ini berlangsung pada 10-26 April 2026, mulai pukul 10.00 hingga 22.00 WIB. Tidak ada biaya yang dipungut untuk mengikuti permainan ini.

Sementara itu, cerita Ready or Not 2 dimulai tepat beberapa saat setelah Grace (Samara Weaving) terduduk di tangga rumah keluarga Le Domas yang meledak.

Alih-alih mendapatkan ketenangan, kemenangan Grace justru memicu protokol baru dari 'Dewan Tinggi' pengabdi iblis Mr. Le Bail.

Ternyata, keluarga Le Domas hanyalah satu dari beberapa keluarga elit yang memiliki kontrak dengan Le Bail. Karena Grace berhasil bertahan hidup, status 'Kursi Tinggi' dalam dewan tersebut menjadi kosong dan diperebutkan.

Grace kemudian diculik dan dipaksa masuk ke permainan Hide and Seek (Petak Umpet) ronde kedua dengan skala yang jauh lebih besar.

Kali ini, Grace tidak sendirian dalam mengikuti permainan. Ia harus melindungi adiknya yang sudah lama terasing, Faith (Kathryn Newton).

Mereka diburu oleh empat keluarga elit baru di sebuah resor mewah milik keluarga Danforth. Jika salah satu kepala keluarga berhasil membunuh Grace sebelum fajar, mereka akan mendapatkan kekuasaan dunia yang tak terbatas.

The home run-hitting Oklahoma Sooners are atop this week's rankings after getting a series win against Texas. Texas Tech lost its top spot and dropped to third after losing a game against Utah. There were no newcomers to the poll. Heading into the last month of the regular season, the SEC looks dominant, with six teams in the top ten. But there is still plenty of time for things to get shaken up!

Player to watch

Kendall Wells, C, Oklahoma

Wells is the first player to appear twice in this spot, and with good reason. Against Texas, the catcher hit her 31st home run of the season, an all-time freshman record. She now has her sights set on the single-season home run record of 37, set by Arizona's Laura Espinoza in 1995.

Top moment

In danger of being swept at home by Oklahoma, the Longhorns battled in the third game of their series against the Sooners and got an extra-innings win in dramatic fashion.

Series to watch

No. 6 Arkansas at No. 1 Oklahoma
Friday at 8 p.m., ESPN2
Saturday at 8 p.m., SEC Network+
Sunday at 2 p.m., SEC Network+

It's been a grueling stretch for the Sooners, who are coming off a tough 2-1 series win at Texas. Things won't get any easier this week as they host an Arkansas team that has notched series wins against Mississippi State and Florida in recent weeks.

Sergio Garcia apologized Tuesday for his outburst during final-round play at the Masters on Sunday.

Garcia erupted on the second hole at Augusta National after his tee shot found the bunker, taking two swipes at the grass before breaking his driver on a cooler.

Garcia was issued a code-of-conduct warning, a first at the Masters, and was not allowed to replace the club in his bag.

He issued an apology on social media Tuesday, expressing "regret" for his actions.

"I want to apologize for my actions on Sunday at the Masters tournament," Garcia wrote. "I respect and value everything that The Masters and Augusta National Golf Club is to Golf. I regret the way I acted and it has no place in our game. It doesn't reflect the respect and appreciation I have for The Masters, the patrons, tournament officials and golf fans around the world."

Garcia, who was paired with Jon Rahm on Sunday, brought some levity to the moment soon after his outburst, carrying Rahm's bag down the fairway while his caddie tended to a bunker.

According to club officials, Geoff Yang, in his role as chairman of the competitions committee, spoke to Garcia on the fourth tee and issued the code-of-conduct warning. Following his round of 3-over 75, Garcia would not divulge what Yang said to him and stopped short of apologizing for his antics.

"[I've been frustrated] through the year," said Garcia, who posted a 72-hole total of 8 over. "Yeah, just obviously not super proud of it, but sometimes it happens."

Since winning his only major title at Augusta National in 2017, Garcia has missed six Masters cuts and tied for 23rd in 2022. He was 52nd of the 54 players who made the cut when he walked off the green Sunday.

When Garcia was asked why he has played poorly in the Masters since winning a green jacket, he said, "Bad golf." Asked if there was anything specific that led him to playing bad golf, he said, "Bad shots."

In last year's final round of the Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, Garcia slammed his driver into the ground in frustration on the second hole and broke it in half. He played the final 16 holes without a driver and carded a 3-under 68.

Garcia was disqualified in 2019 at the Saudi International for damaging greens in frustration. His antics over the years include angrily kicking off his shoe when he slipped during a tee shot at the World Match Play in 2001 and the shoe nearly struck an official. He also spit into a cup during a World Golf Championship at Doral after three-putting.

Garcia has not finished in the top 10 in the 29 majors he has played since beating Justin Rose in a playoff at Augusta National in 2017. He has missed the cut six times in eight appearances at the Masters since winning.

Information from ESPN's Mark Schlabach and The Associated Press was used in this report.

Matt Crocker quit as sporting director of the U.S. Soccer Federation on Tuesday, just two months ahead of the World Cup, to take a similar role with the Saudi Arabia soccer federation, sources have confirmed to ESPN.

The USSF said Crocker was leaving to pursue an unidentified international soccer opportunity, and a person familiar with the decision, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because Crocker's new job was not announced, said he will work in Saudi Arabia.

With the start of the 2026 World Cup so near, one federation source called the move "weird timing," though another source indicated that the move to Saudi Arabia is one that Crocker "can't pass up."

While Crocker was credited with the hiring of Hayes and Pochettino, his remit was to help develop long-term plans for the sporting department.

This included the USSF's "U.S. Way" strategy that was designed to align all levels of the sport.

Time will determine the extent to which Crocker's vision is fully implemented though one federation source indicated that with the plans in place, all that remains is for the USSF to execute those initiatives.

It's "all systems go" on the U.S. Way, the source said.

Crocker's hiring by the Saudi Arabia federation was first reported by Fox.

Crocker's departure was a surprise, given the U.S. is co-host of the World Cup starting June 11 and the contract of men's coach Mauricio Pochettino ends after the tournament. The USSF next month will open its 200-acre, 17-field training center and office complex in Fayetteville, Georgia, an Atlanta suburb.

Dan Helfrich, hired as the U.S. federation's chief operating officer in November, "will provide executive oversight and support across the federation's sporting operations," the USSF said in a statement. Helfrich will work with assistant sporting director Oguchi Onyewu -- a former national team defender -- and Tracey Kevins, head of development for the women's youth national team.

Crocker, 51, was hired by the USSF in April 2023 after serving as Southampton's director of football since February 2020.

Crocker oversaw the decisions to rehire Gregg Berhalter as men's coach in June 2023, to fire Berhalter in July 2024 after first-round elimination at the Copa América and to hire Pochettino that September.

He also made the recommendation to hire Emma Hayes as women's national team coach starting in the spring of 2024. Hayes led the women's team to the Olympic gold medal.

ESPN's Jeff Carlisle and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Nike's trademark application for Los Angeles Lakers' guard Bronny James' "B9" logo has been refused because of a "likelihood of confusion" with an already-registered mark, according to United States Patent and Trademark Office documents.

The USPTO turned down the application because examining attorney P. Scott Craven deemed the logo too similar to the "B9" logo created by Back9 Golf Apparel, a company out of Austin, Texas. Both "B9" markings were filed for clothing and apparel usages.

Nike applied for the "B9" logo, which has a lowercase "b" in gothic lettering with the number "9" in the middle, in February. James has worn logo-adorned shoes multiple times this season. Nike posted images of the shoes featuring the logo on April 12.

Back9's "B9" logo has a black background with "B9" somewhat overlapping each other in a racing font. Back9 began using the mark in 2020, filed for the trademark in 2021 and had it officially registered in 2022.

"The marks are similar in appearance, sound and commercial impression," Craven wrote in his refusal letter to Nike. "In addition, the marks are essentially phonetic equivalents and, thus, sound similar."

Nike declined to comment on the denial while requests to Bronny James' agents and Back9 were not immediately returned to ESPN. Nike has three months to appeal the ruling and explain why the company believes the marks are different enough to coexist.

"Nike, do they have a 50-50 shot of that kind of argument, being that the designs are so unique that these are not going to get confused in the marketplace? These are very distinct logos, so they do have that going for them," said trademark attorney Josh Gerben of Gerben IP. "I think it gives them an argument to make, but it is a little bit of an uphill battle here, I think."

Gerben, though, said the logo could be "arguably in some jeopardy at this point."

Gerben said another way to approval would be if Nike approached Back9 and asked the company to consent to Nike's usage of the mark. If Back9 agreed, Gerben said the USPTO could then grant Nike's registration.

"The refusal makes sense," Gerben said. "This is not out of left field. Technically, this is a sound refusal by the government. Nike has got its work cut out for them to work around it."

James has three other approved trademarks -- "Bronny," "Bronald" and the signature of "B J Jr." He applied for those in 2022 under a different trademark company.

MIAMI -- Javier Mascherano has quit as Inter Miami CF head coach, just four months after guiding the club to its first MLS Cup title.

Miami said in a statement Tuesday that the Argentine coach had stepped down for "personal reasons."

Mascherano officially communicated his decision to the club following Saturday's 2-2 home draw against the New York Red Bulls, a source confirmed to ESPN.

The club said that Guillermo Hoyos will take over as head coach of the first team for "the upcoming matches," moving over from his current role of sporting director.

"I want to let everyone know that, for personal reasons, I have decided to end my tenure as head coach of Inter Miami CF," Mascherano said in a statement.

"First and foremost, I would like to thank the Club for the trust they placed in me, every employee who is part of the organization for the collective effort, but especially the players, who made it possible for us to experience unforgettable moments."

Mascherano, a former teammate of Miami star Lionel Messi with Argentina and Barcelona, spent almost a year and a half at the helm after replacing Gerardo "Tata" Martino in November 2024.

The former Argentina under-20 coach led Inter Miami to the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinal and the Leagues Cup final, and he made history when lifting the MLS Cup during his first year with the club in 2025.

Miami is third in the Eastern Conference through seven games of the 2026 season but exited the Concacaf Champions Cup via a loss to Nashville SC.

The move comes not even two weeks after Inter Miami opened its new stadium near Miami International Airport. The club has tied its first two matches in the new facility.

"Javier will forever be part of this Club's history and will always hold a special place in the Inter Miami CF family," Inter Miami owner Jorge Mas said. "Not only for being a key part of unforgettable achievements, such as winning the MLS Cup and the team's historic performance at the Club World Cup, but also for the example he set through his dedication and daily work leading the team.

"We respect his decision and are deeply grateful for everything he contributed, wishing him nothing but the very best in his professional and personal future."

Hoyos comes into the role after working as a coach and sporting director in leagues across the world including Liga MX and serving as Bolivia national team head coach. Chief soccer officer Alberto Marrero will assume Hoyos' previous responsibilities as sporting director of the club.

The 2026 WNBA draft delivered one of the most intriguing classes in recent memory, headlined by top picks like Azzi Fudd and a record-setting six selections from UCLA. Roster expansion has created more opportunities across the league, and this year's class offers a mix of immediate contributors, high-upside international prospects and long-term developmental pieces.

Let's categorize some the rookies into three tiers: Ready to contribute, keep an eye on and pass until further notice. The goal is to highlight players who can make an instant fantasy impact, identify potential sleepers worth monitoring or stashing and separate longer-term projects who may need time before becoming relevant. Whether you're evaluating roster fits or looking for an edge in fantasy, this should help cut through the noise of draft night.

Ready to contribute

Lauren Betts, C, Washington Mystics

Betts solidified her status as a top prospect with a dominant NCAA Tournament run at UCLA, as she averaged 21.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks while shooting 68.8% en route to Final Four Most Outstanding Player honors. At 6-foot-7, she combines elite efficiency with rim protection and advanced passing ability. A true two-way anchor, Betts brings immediate impact with her polished low-post scoring and defensive presence. After finishing 11th in offensive rating last season, Washington adds a player who can improve interior scoring and elevate its defense as one of the top rim protectors entering the league.

Azzi Fudd, SG, Dallas Wings

Coming out of UConn, Fudd is the premier shooter in this class, combining elite efficiency with proven production. She averaged 17.3 PPG while shooting 44.7% from three on high volume, finishing her career at 48.1% from the field and 95.5% from the line. A national champion and 2025 Final Four Most Outstanding Player, she thrives off the ball with excellent movement and shot-making. Fudd made 117 3s this season and 196 over the past two years, the most in Division I. She gives Dallas much-needed three-point shooting, forming a dynamic backcourt with Paige Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale while offering immediate fantasy value.

Olivia Miles, PG, Minnesota Lynx

Miles is one of the most dynamic guards in this class, coming off a 19.6 PPG season while leading TCU to a 32-6 record. A three-time All-American with 12 career triple-doubles, she combines elite court vision with scoring versatility. Miles thrives in transition and pick-and-roll situations, consistently creating open looks for teammates. She gives Minnesota a true point guard, bringing playmaking and pace to a roster that has lacked one. With improved perimeter shooting, she also has the flexibility to play off the ball, positioning her for a significant role and immediate fantasy impact.

Flau'jae Johnson, SG, Seattle Storm

Johnson was selected eighth overall before being traded to the Storm, giving the team a high-upside guard with two-way impact. Johnson averaged 14.2 PPG this season at LSU while shooting a career-best 39.3% on 3s and showed strong form in the NCAA Tournament, contributing 19.0 PPG on 52.4% shooting. Known for her high motor, she brings perimeter defense, transition scoring and added playmaking. With Seattle needing backcourt depth after key departures, Johnson provides immediate energy, scoring versatility, and should be fantasy relevant from the start.

Gabriela Jaquez, SG, Chicago Sky

Jaquez is one of the top "glue" players in this class, bringing versatility, efficiency, and high motor play. She averaged 13.5 PPG as a senior while shooting 53.9% from the field, 39% from 3-point land, and 86% from the free throw line. A strong rebounder and smart defender, Jaquez impacts the game on both ends with her length and instincts. Capable of playing multiple positions, she fits seamlessly alongside recent Sky additions Skylar Diggins and Rickea Jackson, providing scoring, spacing, and defensive energy while strengthening team depth and overall versatility.

Kiki Rice, PG, Toronto Tempo

A versatile guard coming off a career-best senior season at UCLA, Rice averaged 14.9 PPG, 5.9 RPG, and 4.3 APG while shooting 49% from the field, 38.5% from the 3-point line, and 90.2% on free throws. A proven leader and culture-setter, she impacts the game across the board with poise, decision-making, and defensive effort. Capable of playing either guard spot, Rice brings stability and scoring to the Tempo's backcourt and has the skill set and maturity to be an immediate fantasy contributor even on a Toronto roster already loaded with guard talent.

Cotie McMahon, SF, Washington Mystics

McMahon brings a unique, high-usage skill set as a powerful, downhill scoring forward. She averaged a career-best 19.1 PPG, 5.1 RPG, and 3.0 APG last season at Ole Miss, thriving as a slasher who consistently draws contact. McMahon's strength, speed, and physicality make her well-suited for the pro game, and her expanded ball-handling role improved her playmaking. Defensively, she can hold her own in one-on-one situations. While her fit may take time to fully develop, she adds rim pressure and versatility to a Mystics team focused on building long-term upside.

Raven Johnson, PG, Indiana Fever

Johnson reunites with former South Carolina teammate Aliyah Boston. One of the biggest risers in this class, Johnson earned SEC Defensive Player of the Year honors with elite perimeter defense and strong rebounding for her size. She improved offensively as a senior, averaging 9.9 PPG and 5.1 APG while maintaining a strong assist-to-turnover ratio. Despite a crowded backcourt, her energy, leadership, and defensive versatility make her an ideal fit and immediate contributor in Indiana, but it's suboptimal for fantasy.

Gianna Kneepkens, SG, Connecticut Sun

Kneepkens is one of the top shooters in this class, hitting over 42% from three in every season since 2022. She adds value as a passer and cutter, though her defense remains a question at the next level. Her elite shooting gives her a clear path to early playing time, providing floor spacing and offensive versatility with room to develop into a more complete contributor. After building an athletic but spacing-limited roster, the Sun add one of the best shooters in college basketball, perfectly suited to capitalize on Connecticut's ball movement.

Marta Suarez, S, Golden State Valkyries

Suarez is a 6-foot-3 stretch forward coming off a career-best season at TCU, with 17.1 PPG and 7.4 RPG and is also an excellent three-point shooter. She's a floor-spacing big with excellent passing ability, fits modern systems well, though her defense remains a a shooting. Suarez should have an opportunity to play right away for the Valkyries.

Awa Fam Thiam, C, Seattle Storm

Thiam is widely regarded as the top international prospect in this class, offering elite size and skill at just 19 years old with professional experience dating back to age 15. Averaging 9.2 PPG and 5.0 RPG for Valencia, she brings advanced pick-and-roll ability, strong passing instincts, and defensive versatility. The 2024 FIBA U20 EuroBasket MVP, Thiam has one of the highest ceilings in the draft. While her perimeter shooting is still developing, her combination of size, energy, and skill makes her an immediate contributor with long-term star potential. With the Storm in rebuild mode after losing key veterans, Thiam becomes part of a young foundation alongside Dominique Malonga.

Keep an eye on

Angela Dugalic, PF, Washington Mystics

Dugalic is a versatile 6-foot-4 forward who played a key role in the Bruins' championship run, embracing a bench role to provide scoring and defensive flexibility. A skilled stretch-4, she combines efficient finishing, a smooth shooting touch, and the ability to defend both inside and on the perimeter. The 2026 Big Ten Sixth Player of the Year, Dugalic brings unselfishness and strong team instincts. After drafting Betts fourth, the Mystics added Dugalic ninth, keeping the UCLA duo together and adding versatile frontcourt depth.

Nell Angloma, SF, Connecticut Sun

Angloma is a strong, versatile wing with high upside at just 19 years old. A creative finisher, she excels attacking the rim and playing through contact, and scored 13.5 PPG for France in EuroCup play. Physically ready for the WNBA, Angloma brings toughness, transition scoring, and positional flexibility. While her perimeter shooting is still developing, her ability to impact the game in multiple ways makes her an intriguing long-term piece for a rebuilding roster, where she can learn from veterans like Brittney Griner and young talent like Aaliyah Edwards and Aneesah Morrow.

Practice makes perfect with the ESPN Mock Draft Lobby.

Madina Okot, C, Atlanta Dream

Okot is a 6-foot-6 center with elite size and rapidly developing skill. She averaged 12.8 PPG, 10.6 RPG and 1.4 BPG last season while shooting 57.5% from the field. A strong rebounder and rim protector, Okot also flashed perimeter range, making her a high-upside developmental piece for the Dream, where Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray should handle most of the scoring and Angel Reese anchoring the glass.

Taina Mair, PG, Seattle Storm

Mair is a pass-first point guard who improved her scoring and assertiveness late in her college career at Duke. A strong playmaker with solid pick-and-roll instincts, she makes smart decisions and creates for others. While her shooting and defense still need development, Mair's playmaking and ability to run an offense fill a key need for the Storm.

Iyana Martin Carrion, PG Portland Fire

Martín Carrión is a polished young point guard with extensive international and professional experience at just 20 years old. She averaged 14.8 PPG and 4.2 APG for Perfumerías Avenida in Spain's LF Endesa and was named MVP of the 2023 FIBA U19 World Cup. Known for her elite court vision and pick-and-roll play, Martín Carrión consistently makes the right reads and creates opportunities for teammates. She brings immediate playmaking to a Fire roster featuring Bridget Carleton, Sarah Ashlee Barker and Karlie Samuelson, though it remains unclear if she will begin her WNBA career this season.

Charlisse Leger-Walker, PG, Connecticut Sun

Leger-Walker is a steady, pass-first guard who averaged 5.6 APG last season at UCLA after transitioning from a primary scorer earlier in her career. She brings very good court vision and improved shooting, though her size and ability to create separation against bigger defenders may limit her role early in her career with the Sun.

ALMOST EXACTLY ONE year ago, the Florida Gators gymnastics team was on a plane departing Fort Worth, Texas, and heading back to Gainesville.

They were leaving two days earlier than planned after being stunned in the semifinals. There had been high expectations for the No. 3-ranked squad, but the Gators had been upset by Missouri by one-tenth of a point and had not advanced to the final round.

For the next few days, the gymnasts experienced a range of almost grief-like emotions: sadness, anger, despair. But they didn't dwell for long. About a week after getting back to campus, all of the members of the team who would be returning came together for a meeting. There were no coaches in attendance or even a formal agenda, just a resolution to not let the same thing happen the next year.

"We were just so hurt by how [the season] ended, we realized we needed to figure out what we were going to be as a team, before these freshmen came in, and we all needed to be on the same page," senior Selena Harris-Miranda told ESPN. "We needed to know what we're working towards and how we're going to do this. And that's when we came up with 'The Promise.'"

They were inspired by the 2008 speech by then-Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, which is immortalized on a plaque at the football stadium and something that is "just seen everywhere on campus and part of the culture," according to Harris-Miranda. Junior Skylar Draser first came up with the idea of the team adopting Tebow's message and making it their own. Draser showed everyone a video of Tebow's impassioned plea, highlighting his final words specifically:

"You have never seen any player in the entire country play as hard as I will play the rest of this season, and you'll never see someone push the rest of the team as hard as I will push everybody the rest of this season. You'll never see a team play harder than we will the rest of the season."

The team embraced Draser's idea immediately and meticulously crafted their own version of "The Promise" at a team retreat in September. Focusing on accountability and being there for one another, it has been the Gators' mantra all season long and is displayed prominently at the entrance of the team's training facility.

"Our team will hold ourselves and each other responsible to embrace the hard, show up 100% and unite together. We have a team mentality and resiliently step up to any challenge. We are unbreakable and we won't back down. A win for one is a win for all."

The words, and perhaps the bond and unity behind them, have helped lead the Gators back to Fort Worth again this year. After a strong season, which saw the team win its first SEC championship since 2023, No. 3-seeded Florida will need to continue to "embrace the hard" in Thursday's semifinal (4:30 p.m. ET on ESPN) as it takes on No. 2 LSU, No. 6 Georgia and No. 7 Stanford with the top two teams advancing to Saturday's national championship.

And this year, everything feels different. With six former national team members -- including three world champions -- and a slew of gymnasts capable of contending for individual titles, Florida's depth of talent is unmatched. The sting of last year's exit has subsided, but it created a connection that remains, and with that comes a confidence and a belief that could carry the Gators to their first national championship title since 2015.

"We're so much more bonded now," Harris-Miranda said. "These are my teammates, my girls for life probably, because we were in here sweating, bleeding, crying, doing all the things. We've gone through all the hard conversations. It was like building a family. It's literally a sisterhood -- annoying sisters sometimes -- but they're also my best friends.

"It would mean the world to forever have that trophy and the ring and cement our legacy and those forever bonds."

RILEY MCCUSKER WASN'T SURE at the end of last season if she would be returning. She was a senior and had already been through all of the "last" hallmarks and even had her Senior Night. But due to an injury that sidelined her for the 2024 season, she had one final year of eligibility if she wanted it.

With lofty post-gymnastics goals, including medical school, she was still on the fence about her decision when the team-only meeting took place following the semifinal exit. She recused herself from participating but offered her full support and guidance if needed. But she noticed there was something different about the energy in the gym over the summer when the team returned. Everyone seemed so excited and the freshmen were "so eager to begin their college journeys and learn" from the upperclassmen. It reminded McCusker of how much she still loved the sport. She decided to stay.

Now, approaching the last week of her gymnastics career -- after balancing an internship this semester with Dr. Ellen Casey, a team physician for USA Gymnastics, and applying to medical schools -- McCusker couldn't be happier with her choice.

"I think I knew from the beginning how special this group is. I've been saying, 'This is the best team I've ever been on in my five years as a Gator' from preseason,'" McCusker told ESPN. "I think this team is my favorite team that I've been on so far. I feel like we did a complete turn from last season and just the way we're approaching this season. We're really having so much fun with it and we're competing freely."

With a beach retreat that involved a slew of icebreakers and activities, including one game that involved team members wearing blindfolds and having to identify their teammates based solely on animal sounds, as well as various team parties, trips to the movies and events throughout the fall semester, the team grew close in a way that felt organic. McCusker said everyone bought in quickly to the idea of "A win for one is a win for all" and it helped further create unity.

When the group told head coach Jenny Rowland and the rest of the staff about their idea for "The Promise," they were quickly met with support.

"We said, 'Jenny, this is what we want to commit to this year as a team,' and we talked about all of it with her," Harris-Miranda said. "We said, 'This is what we want as a team and we want it on the wall as soon as you walk into the gym.' The coaches are always like, 'We're on the boat with you but you guys are driving it,' and they were all so receptive to it."

The season hasn't been without challenges. On Feb. 6, the Gators, then ranked No. 2, were handed a surprising loss on the road against No. 7 Missouri. Struggling on their opening rotation on bars, usually their best event, the team never fully recovered and recorded a season-low 196.50. The following week, Florida lost again to top-ranked Oklahoma in front of a sold-out crowd at home. It was the team's first loss at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center in over two years and marked the first time the Gators had lost back-to-back SEC meets since 2006.

But the defeats marked a clear turning point. After the loss to the Sooners, the Gators regrouped. They had tough conversations about what had gone wrong and what could have been done differently. They watched film and offered words of support to one another. No one blamed anyone else and they resolved to get back on track but also to not put too much emphasis on winning. The experience allowed them, yet again, to be vulnerable with one another.

For Kayla DiCello, a junior who was sidelined last season due to an Achilles rupture, further building such a connection only made her more confident in the meets going forward.

"Trust is 100% one of the most important things to have on a team because doing gymnastics alone is very hard," DiCello said to ESPN. "And when you're up on the beam, if you don't feel the trust from the girls standing there supporting you, it kind of makes you feel a little bit unsure. So the fact that we have such a good bond now and such deep trust with each other, it makes it so much easier to go up there and know that I have the rest of the team supporting me. They have my back and I have their back."

The Gators haven't lost since.

At the SEC championships in March, Florida battled for the first three rotations with Oklahoma and LSU for the lead. The Sooners held the ever-so-slight edge going into the final event, but the Gators remained focused. They huddled together before starting on bars, an event in which they are ranked No. 1 in the country.

"I remember as we were standing there together, Selena was saying, 'Every little thing counts, it's not over till it's over," McCusker said. "She said, 'We know how to do this. Let's just go up there and hit it.' And I think that's what we all did."

Harris-Miranda's words to her teammates could not have been more true. Senior eMjae Frazier, a transfer from California, opened the rotation with a 9.90. Junior Anya Pilgrim followed with a 9.925. Sophomore Skye Blakely and DiCello were both nearly flawless with 9.975s. Harris-Miranda then earned a perfect 10.0, her first of the season on bars. It all came down to McCusker, on her only event of the day. She had no idea just how close the score was, but she said she had been "feeding off of everyone else's confidence" in the routines before her and felt ready to go. She earned a 9.925 to secure the win by 0.025 of a point over Oklahoma.

The team was all together as the final scores flashed on the screen.

"We were all clustered there, just staring at the scoreboard and waiting to see, and then the moment it happened, I just felt an unbelievable amount of joy just come over me," DiCello said. "I started crying, I was so excited. I was just really proud of our entire team and all of the work that we put in to get ourselves up to this point because I mean, our season has been anything but a straight line. So figuring out what we need from meet to meet and just fixing it from there to get us to this point, and then to see it all play out, has just been truly amazing."

After they received the championship trophy, the team remained on the stage celebrating for what Harris-Miranda guessed to be about 40 minutes.

"No one wanted to leave," she said.

Two days later, the team gathered together yet again. This time it was on the outdoor pool deck at the football practice facility -- "So Florida, right?" said Harris-Miranda -- to learn its fate for the NCAA postseason. Assigned to Tempe, Arizona, as the top seed in the region, Florida rolled through its two meets to claim the title at the regional finals and punch its ticket to Fort Worth yet again.

WHEN TEBOW VOICED his now immortal words 18 years ago, it was just after the Gators had been handed a stunning defeat by Mississippi, a 22-point underdog, at home -- ending the team's hopes for a perfect season.

At the end of his postgame press conference, Tebow, then the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, delivered the instantly iconic speech. Harris-Miranda was 4 years old at the time, Draser and DiCello were 3, and while McCusker was 7, it's impossible to believe any member of the current Gators gymnastics team has any real memory of the speech when it happened.

But it's something that remains ingrained in the Florida athletic department and Harris-Miranda, who transferred from UCLA following her sophomore season, joked is something that a recruit has to know before committing to the school. And after the disappointing exit in 2025, the Gator gymnasts could relate exactly to what Tebow felt in that moment.

Like Tebow, it was something they didn't want to feel again.

The team doesn't talk about their promise every day at this point. They don't need to. In addition to its visible spot at the entrance of the practice facility, it's something DiCello says is just a core part of the team's identity now. "We live it every day when we step into the gym," she added.

At a recent team meeting, Harris-Miranda remembered looking around the room and appreciating the talent and the determination of those sitting around her.

"I was thinking, 'Literally the best athletes in the country are sitting in this room. We have everything we need right in this room,'" Harris-Miranda said. "It's so motivating. I used to watch Riley McCusker on YouTube all the time and was obsessed with how she did her hair and how she just would train in the gym, her work ethic and all these things, and to now be her teammate, it feels so full circle and I'm so proud to be right here next to her.

"And that's the thing, everyone on this team has this same work ethic, and we all push each other every day to be better. Iron sharpens iron."

On Thursday, the Gators will have the chance to put everything they've learned and worked on over the past year to the test and find their way back to Saturday's championship meet. It wouldn't be the first time in Florida history a team recovered in such a spectacular way from a devastating loss.

After Tebow's Gators lost that game in 2008, they went on to have an undefeated remainder of the season. In the BCS National Championship, Florida defeated top-ranked Oklahoma, 24-14, to reclaim its place atop the sport's hierarchy.

The gymnastics team may have a fairy-tale ending this week. It's of course the ultimate goal -- but it also won't be the only definition of a successful season for those on the team.

"It would be the icing on the cake for sure," McCusker said. "But I remember watching an interview with [Olympic gold-medal winning figure skater] Alysa Liu and she said it wasn't even about the medal for her, it was instead about the performance and the work she put into it. And that's honestly how I feel about this year. If we can go out these last meets and do the best gymnastics we can do and stick together as a team and do it for each other, that's a win to me."

Perhaps we shouldn't be so surprised that St. Louis Cardinals RHP Riley O'Brien is thriving as a closer. He earned 15 saves for the 2023 Tacoma Rainiers in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, with a 2.29 ERA and a 37% strikeout rate, inducing many ground balls and permitting only two home runs.

Those Seattle Mariners had a strong bullpen already, and O'Brien moved on to the Cardinals organization, where he thrived for Triple-A Memphis. He didn't make the Opening Day bullpen in 2025, but once he earned the big league chance, the numbers were good. O'Brien posted a 2.10 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP over 25⅔ innings after the All-Star break, saving six wins.

It seemed likely that O'Brien would save more games for this season's Cardinals and, after a few maiden appearances in earlier leverage roles, he moved to the ninth inning. Entering Tuesday, O'Brien boasts saves in four of his last six outings, permitting just one single (and hitting a batter) among the 20 batters he's faced in that span.

Ten pitchers have saved at least four games so far this season. Mason Miller is the only other to have permitted nary an earned run (Jordan Romano finally, painfully, left this special group on Monday). It is also hard not to notice a 75% ground ball rate, highest among right-handed relievers. OK, it's early and the Cardinals aren't great, but something is happening here.

Fantasy managers might have dismissed O'Brien in preseason drafts because he is, after all, a 31-year-old journeyman who, even while emerging last season, still issued quite a few walks. He doesn't exactly have a fancy strikeout rate, either. We tend to covet the overpowering strikeout options.

There are not many similarities between Miller and O'Brien. O'Brien's sinker averages 97.5 mph, and he throws the pitch 61% of the time, along with a slider. Still, he permitted only two home runs last season and, if he can continue to avoid walks this season, we have a legitimate fantasy option -- one who should keep accruing saves. While he is currently the most added relief pitcher in ESPN leagues, O'Brien nevertheless remains available in more than 50% of them. You know what to do.

Stock rising

Jakob Junis, RHP, Texas Rangers

Junis, 33, pitched well for the 2025 Cleveland Guardians, but doesn't every relief pitcher thrive on that team? A longtime starter who most fantasy managers ignored for good reason, Junis has never thrown particularly hard when compared to his peers, never piled on the strikeouts and, even last season, permitted nearly a hit per inning. He signed a one-year, $4 million deal in mid-January, giving "afterthought" with sixth-inning or long-man role vibes. Today, he leads the Rangers with three saves, one more than he accumulated during his first nine seasons combined.

This has happened because LHP Robert Garcia and RHP Chris Martin boast matching 1.83 WHIP marks, though achieved far differently. Martin has allowed 11 hits in six innings. Garcia has walked six in his six frames. Move on from them. Junis has permitted very little. RHP Cole Winn and LHP Jacob Latz are firmly in the picture, too, and they will get holds, but Junis -- I can't believe this has really happened -- might keep this role.

Gregory Soto, LHP, Pittsburgh Pirates

This one isn't as stunning, since Soto was twice an All-Star with the Detroit Tigers, although he wasn't much of a fantasy option during that time. Soto saved 30 games in 2022, but with a 3.28 ERA, a 1.37 WHIP and a 2-11 record. His career ERA is 4.19 with a 1.42 WHIP -- and that includes his solid early work for the Pirates, with only one run allowed (a Gunnar Henderson home run) and 13 strikeouts over 8⅔ innings.

Soto boasts only a single save (the same as RHP Dennis Santana), but there is clear pathway for both relievers to post some intriguing combination of at least 35 saves/holds. Santana was supposed to be "the guy," but now he is sharing things. We wouldn't say you are adding Soto to your teams with significant confidence, but he matters.

Paul Sewald, RHP, Arizona Diamondbacks

Unlike Soto, who always threw hard, Sewald, 36, hardly flashes "closer stuff." There is little question about his role, as he saved two more wins in Philadelphia this weekend, giving him five saves in eight appearances. Sewald and his 91.3 mph "heater" aren't really inducing myriad ground balls (early small sample caveats apply) and his swinging K rate remains far from where it was during his Mariners days. Still, opportunity is (mostly) everything.

Sewald will eventually walk a hitter and permit some home runs, but the path is clear for 30 saves. We should also mention that rejuvenated RHP Jonathan Loaisiga is the clear eighth-inning option and next in line for saves. Just like Sewald, he will eventually surrender walks and home runs but, for now, this surprising 1-2 duo can help fantasy managers -- especially those who remain stubbornly slow to buy in.

Stock falling

Edwin Diaz, RHP, Los Angeles Dodgers

Diaz will probably be fine -- nothing to worry about here -- but, alas, one rough outing from the weekend has people finally a tad concerned about his lowered fastball velocity. Diaz permitted an Evan Carter two-run home run against the Rangers on Friday. Then, still holding a one-run lead, singles to then-struggling Josh Jung and Ezequiel Duran helped blow the save. Max Muncy's third home run of the night gave Diaz the win, but it was ugly.

His four-seam velocity was at 97.3 mph last season (down from 99.1 mph in 2022) and it's 95.9 mph this season. The Dodgers will be cautious and LHP Alex Vesia closed out Saturday's win. Diaz could probably save 35 games on this loaded team with only half of a fastball, but watch this situation carefully. Lowered velocity is often a sign of injury. Vesia, rejuvenated LHP Tanner Scott (no walks!) and fried RHP Blake Treinen are all potential save options.

David Bednar, RHP, New York Yankees

Bednar is probably going to be fine, too, but what's with the 11 hits through 6⅔ innings, including multiple hits (and a run) in four out of five outings? We expected a 2.25 ERA, not a 2.25 WHIP! People forget it wasn't all that long ago that Bednar struggled mightily, losing the closer role in Pittsburgh several times during a frustrating 2024 campaign (5.77 ERA, 1.42 WHIP) before rebounding nicely last season and earning himself a trade to a contending team.

Again, BABIP should normalize (although it doesn't always) and fantasy managers shouldn't punt Bednar just yet, especially since setup RHP Camilo Doval (who has lost 2 mph off his own fastball) checks in with a 7.36 ERA. But, we remind you again, even the top relievers are volatile.

Trevor Megill, RHP, Milwaukee Brewers

Megill was on many fade lists for this season, as there seemed to be reason for concern for some combination of performance, health and role. The Brewers made it clear a potential saves timeshare with RHP Abner Uribe was possible. Well, Uribe still hasn't sniffed a save chance, but that might change after Megill permitted four runs in Friday's loss to the Washington Nationals, recording nary an out.

Megill entered the proceedings in a tie game and he soon untied it, though he was hardly hit hard. Megill plunked a guy. Then there was a bunt single, two other sacrifice bunts and an error. Uribe got hit harder on Sunday. Megill and Uribe lead the RP section of ESPN's most dropped list, but that's probably an overreaction. Roster Megill first, although I doubt he reaches 30 saves again.

The 90th Masters delivered another thrilling tournament and a familiar winner in Rory McIlroy, who became only the fourth player ever to win back-to-back green jackets.

With the first and biggest major of the year now through, the stage is set for the rest of the golf calendar to take center stage. Here are the top storylines we're watching.

Where does Rory McIlroy go from here for the rest of the year?

Mark Schlabach: The question coming out of McIlroy's 2025 Masters victory was whether he would keep winning because he no longer carried the weight of a nearly 10-year drought without a major and having never won a green jacket to complete the career Grand Slam.

I think Rory would admit he enjoyed his first Masters victory a little more than he believed he would. It was hard to blame him. He wasn't really a contender in the last three majors in 2025, trying for 47th in the PGA Championship, 19th in the U.S. Open and seventh in The Open. He had some nice finishes in signature events, but Scottie Scheffler and others dominated the summer.

McIlroy didn't play terrible golf during the remainder of the 2025 season, but it seemed like he did take his foot off the gas a little bit.

Will this year be different? A second straight Masters victory proved that he still has enough game to stack up more major championships. Jack Nicklaus won four of his record 18 majors after age 36. Could Rory get to 10 with four more? He would become only the fourth man to do it, joining Nicklaus, Tiger Woods (15) and Walter Hagen (11).

Paolo Uggetti: I'm really fascinated by McIlroy's evolving approach to preparing for the biggest events of the year. He spoke at length about how he prepared for this year's Masters by playing the course many times and spending time on property -- this is the one tournament where he can do that and it's why he believes (and said last week) that this is the major where he can have the most success as he enters another stage of his career.

So, where does that leave the rest? It seems that McIlroy does well with these flash point events that mean a little more to him -- not just the majors, but the Ryder Cup and winning at specific venues that have greater significance. This year, there isn't anything left on the calendar that rises to the level of a second green jacket, but there is a clear confidence in him that he can compete wherever he shows up and even while playing his B or C game. The only variable factor is how much he chooses to either care or prepare.

Now, the runway is pretty clear; McIlroy's playing an emotional game (see: Ryder Cup in Ireland next year and the Open at the Old Course) as well as a mathematical one -- how many more PGA Tour wins can he add to his total? Can he get to double-digit majors? The latter now seems like a real possibility, which adds the exact kind of juice to the three majors left this year and the ones to come after that.

What's your biggest takeaway from the Masters this year (other than Rory)?

Schlabach: If there are golf gods, Justin Rose will slip on a green jacket in the next few years. The 45-year-old was trying to become the second-oldest Masters champion -- Nicklaus slipped on his sixth at 46 in 1986 -- and was in the mix again on the second nine on Sunday.

Rose made three straight birdies to go 2 up at the turn, but then he made a mess of Amen Corner. His tee shot on the par-3 12th wasn't horrible, but then Rose chunked a chip shot, which led to a bogey. He made a great recovery with a daring approach shot on the 13th, but three-putted for par, all but killing his chances.

Rose is now a three-time runner-up in the Masters, including his playoff loss to McIlroy in 2025.

Uggetti: I think for me, it's the way this tournament -- year after year -- shows us exactly how much more it means and weighs on these players than any other event they play as well as how this golf course has produced only top-notch winners.

For the last five years, the winners have been Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler (twice) and McIlroy (twice) -- it does not get much better than that. It's clear that Augusta has figured out the right approach (provided the weather cooperates) to not just produce a leaderboard full of the best players in the world, but also one that demands a unique combination of execution and mental fortitude that isn't found at any other event.

No one has embodied that more than McIlroy over the last two years. In a tournament that feels like a battle of attrition, McIlroy has (barely) survived while others have either wilted or simply not done enough. No other stage in golf puts these guys in such a pressure cooker that the stakes of winning the Masters and a green jacket can be felt and seen so vividly.

Biggest winner from Masters?

Schlabach: Other than Rory, it has to be Collin Morikawa. Despite playing with a painful back injury, the two-time major champion gutted out a tie for seventh at 9 under. On Sunday, he made five straight birdies on the second nine to close with a second straight 4-under 68.

There were times throughout the tournament when Morikawa struggled to bend over and get the ball out of the cup. He hadn't played in nearly a month after tweaking his back on his first hole of the Players Championship.

"I mean, trust me, it's going to be one of the best tournaments forever," Morikawa said. "I'm going to remember this one for many reasons, but just more [for] how strong the mind is, to be able to go out and convince yourself that everything is going to be okay."

Uggetti: Honestly, I can't stop thinking about how Scottie Scheffler was 12 shots back heading into the weekend and ended up being one stroke short of forcing a playoff against McIlroy.

Scheffler's floor is one of the highest we've ever seen in the sport. He nearly won a third green jacket while having his C or B game at best. While McIlroy continues to add to his legacy with another green jacket, Scheffler is living in the prime of his career, and this week was a reminder that there is no limit to how many Masters he can and will win over the course of his career.

It feels reductive to say he was a winner given he fell one stroke short, but as far as looking ahead to the rest of the year and the next five, 10, 15 Masters, it was an important reminder that even if he might struggle on the PGA Tour at times, the No. 1 player in the world is still just that.

Biggest disappointment from Masters?

Schlabach: Two LIV Golf League stars were red-hot coming into the Masters, but Bryson DeChambeau missed the cut and Jon Rahm tied for 38th at 1 over.

DeChambeau was coming off back-to-back LIV Golf victories and seemed ready to contend for a green jacket after playing with McIlroy in the final group in the final round last year. But DeChambeau had trouble getting out bunkers in both the first and second round. His triple-bogey 7 on the 18th in the second round left him with a 36-hole total of 6-over 150, two worse than the cut line.

Rahm is probably a bigger disappointment to me because it's a continuation of his recent sub-par play in the majors. After winning the Masters and tying for second in The Open in 2023, Rahm hasn't really contended in one major since jumping to LIV Golf.

He was in the hunt in last year's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. Rahm was tied for the lead heading to the back nine, but blew up on the final three holes and tied for eighth at 4 under, seven shots behind Scheffler.

Is he playing enough difficult golf courses in the LIV Golf League? Is the competition stiff enough to prepare him for the majors?

Rahm hinted that he'll change the way he prepares next year.

"Definitely some things I'm going to change going forward, preparation-wise and what to do," Rahm said. "But it's hard to say how much I learned because I don't think we've ever seen a Masters [course] this firm."

Uggetti: LIV's performance beyond the headliners of Rahm and DeChambeau is an obvious call here, but I'd also point out that Patrick Reed's weekend performance was extremely underwhelming.

Reed, who had been one of the hottest players in the world this year racking up multiple wins on the DP World Tour, went into Saturday with a real shot to win his second green jacket.

But instead of fighting for a spot in a theoretical blockbuster final group with McIlroy, he faded, shooting 72 on Saturday and 73 on Sunday to finish outside the top 10. Now, it's unclear where he goes from here -- are there more DP World Tour events on the horizon ahead of the other major championships? Or will he bide his time and wait until he can play on the PGA Tour in the fall?

Who are the favorites in the remaining three major championships?

Schlabach: Scheffler is the betting favorite in each of the final three majors and odds are he's going to win at least one of them.

During the first round of the 2018 BMW Championship, McIlroy tied the course record of 62 at Aronimink Golf Club outside of Philadelphia, the site of next month's PGA Championship. He made 10 birdies in the round, including seven straight on the back nine.

Keegan Bradley defeated Justin Rose in a playoff to win that tournament. McIlroy was fifth at 18 under, two strokes behind Bradley and Rose.

McIlroy missed the cut in the last U.S. Open played at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on Long Island in 2018. He posted a 10-over 80 in the first round, which tied his career-worst round to par in a major at the time. He missed 13 of 18 greens.

McIlroy wasn't the only golfer who struggled at Shinnecock that week. Phil Mickelson hit his moving ball out of frustration on the 13th green at Shinnecock Hills and was docked a two-stroke penalty. Jason Day and others also complained about the course setup and the USGA's inability to keep it playable.

Brooks Koepka defended his U.S. Open title with a winning score of 1 over.

Will Shinnecock be easier when the U.S. Open returns there June 18-21?

The final major of the season, The Open, will be played at Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport, England, on July 16-19. Jordan Spieth lifted the Claret Jug after his three-stroke victory over Matt Kuchar. McIlroy tied for fourth at 5 under.

Banyak umat muslim yang mempertanyakan hukum aqiqah bagi orang dewasa. Terkhusus bagi yang belum sempat diaqiqah saat masih kecil.

Aqiqah adalah menyembelih hewan seperti kambing atau domba, yang diperuntukkan untuk bayi yang baru lahir. Hal ini dilakukan sebagai bentuk rasa syukur orang tua atas kelahiran anak mereka.

Sayyid Sabiq dalam kitab Fiqih Sunnah 5 menjelaskan hukum aqiqah adalah sunnah muakad atau sangat dianjurkan. Jika melahirkan bayi laki-laki, disunnahkan menyembelih dua ekor kambing dan satu ekor kambing jika bayi perempuan.

Anjuran untuk melaksanakan aqiqah didasarkan pada hadits Rasulullah SAW yang diriwayatkan dari Samurah bin Jundub, ia berkata bahwa Rasulullah SAW bersabda:

"Semua anak bayi tergadaikan dengan aqiqahnya yang pada hari ketujuhnya disembelih hewan (kambing), diberi nama dan dicukur rambutnya," (HR Abu Daud, Tirmidzi, dan An-Nasa'i).

Aqiqah dianjurkan dilakukan pada hari ketujuh usai kelahiran sang bayi sampai sebelum baligh atau dewasa. Namun, bagaimana hukumnya jika aqiqah baru dilakukan saat sudah dewasa?

Para ulama memiliki perbedaan pendapat tentang hukum aqiqah bagi orang dewasa. Sebagian ulama berpendapat tidak perlu melaksanakan aqiqah, sementara lainnya mengatakan aqiqah untuk orang dewasa diperbolehkan.

Dalam Bidayatul Mujtahid wa Nihayatul Muqtashid Jilid 1 karya Ibnu Rusyd, dijelaskan bahwa pelaksanaan aqiqah bagi orang dewasa perlu disertai niat untuk mewakili orang tua. Hal ini didasarkan pada hadits dari Anas bin Malik RA, ia berkata:

"Bahwasannya Nabi SAW mengaqiqahkan diri beliau sendiri setelah beliau diangkat menjadi nabi," (HR Al-Baihaqi).

Namun, sanad hadits tersebut dinilai dhaif. Meski begitu, pengikut Imam Syafi'i berpendapat anak yang sudah dewasa dan belum diaqiqah oleh orang tuanya, dianjurkan untuk melaksanakan aqiqah sendiri.

Dijelaskan dalam Buku Pintar Panduan Lengkap Ibadah Muslimah susunan M. Syukron Maksum, bahwa aqiqah pada dasarnya dilakukan pada hari ketujuh setelah kelahiran anak. Jika belum bisa, aqiqah dapat dilakukan pada hari ke-14 atau ke-21.

Sementara dalam buku Ensiklopedia Fikih Wanita karya Agus Arifin dijelaskan bahwa anjuran aqiqah berlaku sampai anak mencapai usia baligh. Jika sudah baligh dan belum diaqiqah, maka anjuran tersebut menjadi gugur.

Bernadya mengejutkan penggemar dengan merilis lagu baru bertajuk Rabun Jauh pada Senin (13/4). Lagu ini merupakan ciptaan sang penyanyi bersama Rendy Pandugo dan Mohammed Kamga.

Rabun Jauh berkisah tentang seseorang yang berada di atas panggung dan berharap ada orang berarti di antara penonton yang menyaksikannya.

Sayangnya, orang yang dinanti tak kunjung muncul hingga menimbulkan rasa hampa dan kecewa. Lirik lagu ini pun bisa menyentuh hati pendengar.

Berikut merupakan lirik lagu Rabun Jauh - Bernadya.

Rabun jauh, dari dulu
Tapi tak pernah mengganggu
Malah itu yang kubutuh
Sedikit kurangi demam panggung

Namun khusus, kota itu
Kupakai kacamataku
Sambil terus bersenandung
Terus mencari dari jauh

Berharap kau ada berdiri di situ
Di salah satu panggungku di kotamu

Berharap kau ada di antara lautan manusia
Masih dengan tatapanmu yang sama
Kan tetap kukenali dengan mudah
Meski penglihatanku tak sempurna

Semoga tiba tepat waktu
Sebelum lagu ketujuh
Yang satu ini untukmu
Ku tulis agar kau tahu

Bahwa tiada lagi yang lebih kutunggu
Dari tatap banggamu untukku

Berharap kau ada di antara lautan manusia
Masih dengan tatapanmu yang sama
Kan tetap kukenali dengan mudah

Meski penglihatanku tak sempurna
Kau datang menyamar pun masih bisa kutemukan
Tanpa melihat ku tahu kau ada
Kedip radarku pasti kan menyala
Sayangnya kali ini ia diam

Selama upayanya membantu Bian Tang menumpas pemberontakan internal, Chu Qiao berulang kali diselamatkan oleh seorang pria misterius yang terasa sangat familiar baginya. Akhirnya terungkap bahwa pria itu adalah Zhuge Yue.

Kecelakaan tragis terjadi di Benteng Lafarriere atau Citadelle Laferriere, Haiti, pada 11 April 2026 waktu setempat.

Insiden ini terjadi saat perayaan Paskah yang dihadiri ribuan pengunjung. Kepadatan massa memicu desak-desakan dan aksi saling injak.

Dalam pernyataan pemerintah tidak disebutkan total korban tewas. Namun, surat kabar Le Nouvelliste Haiti pertama kali melaporkan jumlah korban tewas setidaknya 30 orang.

Pemerintah Haiti telah menetapkan masa berkabung nasional sebagai bentuk penghormatan kepada pada korban. Situs wisata Benteng Lafarriere kini ditutup sementara untuk memfasilitasi penyelidikan.

Tentang Benteng Laferriere

Citadelle Laferriere adalah benteng raksasa di atas Gunung Bonnet à l'Évêque, Haiti, yang sering dijuluki sebagai Keajaiban Dunia Kedelapan.

Sebagai Situs Warisan Dunia UNESCO sejak 1982, tempat ini merupakan ikon perjuangan kemerdekaan Haiti dan menjadi daya tarik utama bagi wisatawan yang mencari sejarah serta pemandangan alam Karibia.

Dibangun oleh Henri Christophe, benteng ini memiliki dinding batu setinggi 40 meter dan ribuan meriam besi. Benteng ini juga menjadi simbol kebebasan Haiti sebagai republik kulit hitam pertama yang merdeka dari penjajahan Prancis.

Benteng Laferriere berlokasi di Haiti bagian utara, dekat dengan Kota Milot. Berada di ketinggian 900 meter di atas permukaan laut, benteng ini menjadi tempat wisata yang menyuguhkan pemandangan hijau yang luas hingga ke Teluk Cap-Haitien.

Untuk mencapai benteng, pengunjung harus berjalan kaki menanjak selama 1 sampai 2 jam. Selain berjalan kaki, pengunjung juga bisa menyewa kuda atau menyewa motor.

Pengunjung disarankan menyewa pemandu lokal agar lebih memahami sejarah mendalam dari setiap sudut benteng ini.

Imelda Therinne membintangi film horor terbaru bertajuk Songko. Dalam film ini, Imelda berperan sebagai seorang ibu bernama Helsye yang tinggal di lingkungan dengan legenda Songko.

Untuk memerankan peran ini, Imelda harus belajar Bahasa Manado karena latar film ini adalah di Tomohon, Sulawesi Utara, dan hampir seluruh dialog film menggunakan bahasa tersebut.

Belajar bahasa daerah ini diakui Imelda hal yang menantang baginya. Namun, Imelda beruntung didampingi aktor lokal yang ikut berperan dalam film ini yang membuat Bahasa Manadonya menjadi lebih lancar.

"Mungkin challenge-nya sendiri aku belajar banyak sih, bahasa. Bahasa tuh 80 persen bahasa Manado dan ternyata ya emang bahasa tuh emang susah-susah gampang ya cuma karena banyak Cace Mendes di sini yang membantu sekali ya, aku dikasih kesempatan untuk berinteraksi dengan aktor-aktor Manado, kontak sama Luisa kita dan mereka aktor yang keren banget ternyata aktif di teater. Itu lumayan ngebantu sih," ungkap Imelda dalam konferensi yang digelar di kawasan Jakarta Pusat, Senin (13/4).

Selain soal bahasa, Imelda juga mengaku tantangan lain dalam syuting film ini adalah cuaca lokasi yang dingin.

"Apalagi ya challenge-nya cuaca, cuaca tuh berat banget kayak kita lagi syuting di luar negeri, dingin banget. Payoff-nya alamnya indah banget, semoga ke-capture ya di film aku belum nonton filmnya," bebernya.

Film Songko sendiri berlatar tahun 1986 di sebuah desa di Tomohon, Minahasa, mengisahkan teror yang dimulai dari kematian misterius perempuan-perempuan muda.

Warga percaya bahwa makhluk bernama Songko telah datang untuk mengincar darah suci demi kekekalan. Ketakutan pun berubah menjadi kepanikan.

Film yang disutradarai oleh Gerald Mamahit ini turut dibintangi oleh Annette Edoarda, Imelda Therinne, Fergie Brittany, Tegar Satria, dan Khiva Iskak, akan tayang di bioskop seluruh Indonesia mulai 23 April 2026.

Di tengah gempuran drama bertema kolosal dan sejarah, The Epoch of Miyu sebagai drama bertema perkotaan meledak dan memecahkan rekor popularitas yang jarang terlihat dalam beberapa tahun terakhir.

Tayang perdana drama yang dibintangi oleh Zhu Zhu dan Wallace Chung ini berhasil mencetak rating yang tinggi di Dragon TV.

Epidose pertamanya dengan cepat menduduki peringkat teratas di antara tayangan lain di saluran televisi, sekaligus mendominasi di platform streaming seperti Tencent Video dan iQIYI.

Diadaptasi dari novel karya Hong Jiu, The Epoch of Miyu mengikuti perjalanan Xu Miyu, yang diperankan oleh Zhu Zhu. Hidupnya hancur setelah mengetahui perselingkuhan suaminya sebelum ulang tahun pernikahan mereka yang ke-10.

Alih-alih menanggung penghinaan, ia memberikan pembalasan yang berani dan tak terlupakan di depan rekan bisnis suaminya, serta mengakhiri pernikahannya dengan bermartabat dan penuh semangat.

Kemudian cerita mengambil alur yang mengejutkan ketika Xu Miyu yang jatuh dari kejayaan hingga banting setir bekerja sebagai petugas kebersihan hotel. Namun kejatuhan ini menandai awal kebangkitannya yang luar biasa di dunia korporat.

Akting Zhu Zhu telah banyak dipuji karena berhasil menangkap transformasi emosional dari ketahanan yang tenang menjadi kemandirian yang kuat, mempertahankan aura yang tak terbantahkan bahkan dalam lingkungan yang paling sederhana.

Wallace Chung akan menjadi lawan mainnya dengan memerankan tokoh Ji Feng, seorang CEO yang tenang dan cerdas yang menjadi tokoh kunci dalam perjalanan Miyu.

Penggambaran karakternya yang terkendali, namun penuh nuansa menambah kedalaman narasi, terutama pada saat-saat di mana ketenangan luarnya secara halus berubah menjadi kerentanan emosional.

Terlepas dari beberapa perdebatan mengenai klise yang sudah umum seperti CEO jatuh cinta pada seorang petugas kebersihan dan perbedaan usia antara pemeran utama, chemistry antara Wallace Chung dan Zhu Zhu terbukti cukup menarik untuk memikat penonton.

Dipadukan dengan narasi yang cepat dan konflik yang sarat emosi, drama ini berhasil memenuhi ekspektasi penggemar cerita perkotaan yang menegangkan.

Dengan awal yang eksplosif dan momentum viralnya, The Epoch of Miyu berpotensi menjadi salah satu drama Tiongkok yang paling banyak dibicarakan pada tahun 2026.

Sebelum memulai hubungan baru, penting untuk memastikan apakah calon pasangan kamu sudah siap secara emosional untuk dirimu. Pastikan dirinya tidak lagi terbebani oleh perasaan suka atau keterikatan mendalam pada seseorang di masa lalu.

Untuk menghindari sakit hati karena menaruh harapan kosong, perhatikan tanda-tanda berikut yang menunjukkan bahwa calon pasanganmu belum sepenuhnya melupakan mantan.

1. Sering Berbicara Negatif soal Mantan

Jika gebetanmu sering mengungkit kekurangan mantan, bisa jadi mereka masih 'terbebani' olehnya. Ketika seseorang telah berdamai dengan orang di masa lalu, kemungkinan mereka membahas kekurangan mantan akan lebih kecil.

Menurut penjelasan dalam laman Psychology Today, menyimpan amarah terhadap mantan merupakan salah satu cara untuk tetap terhubung dengan masa lalu. Namun, hal itu juga bisa menjadi penghalang untuk orang lain mendekat.

2. Emosional Saat Mantannya Menjadi Topik

Seseorang yang menunjukkan sikap canggung, menghindari kontak mata, hingga gelagapan saat mantan kekasihnya disebut-sebut, bisa menjadi isyarat bahwa hati mereka masih terikat dengan kenangan mantan mereka.

3. Mendambakan Benda-benda yang Berkaitan dengan Mantan

Menyimpan album lama dalam file di ponsel atau laptop adalah hal wajar. Namun, menyimpannya di tempat yang mudah diakses, seperti di dompet, adalah hal yang mencurigakan. Begitu juga dengan memajang hadiah yang pernah diberikan oleh mantan, bisa menjadi pertanda yang kuat bahwa mereka belum move on dan masih terikat oleh mantannya.

4. Menunjukkan Keraguan tentang Komitmen

Keraguan akan komitmen dipicu oleh banyak faktor, salah satunya adalah perasaan yang belum hilang terhadap mantan kekasih. Jika gebetanmu menujukkan keseganan untuk terikat, cobalah menerima bahwa mereka belum siap untuk melangkah lebih jauh.

5. Masih Sering Berhubungan dengan Mantan

Kamu patut curiga jika seseorang yang sedang dekat denganmu masih aktif berkirim pesan, menelepon, atau bertemu langsung dengan mantan pasangan. Aktivitas tersebut menjadi pertanda bahwa dia belum sepenuhnya melupakan hubungan di masa lalu. Jangan mudah percaya jika ia mengklaim hanya sekadar berteman dengan mantan.

6. Aktif Mengamati Mantan secara Online

Setiap interaksi digital dengan mantan dapat memperkuat keterikatan emosional. Menyukai, mengunggah ulang, atau sekadar mencari dan mengamati akun media sosial mantan secara daring, menandakan seseorang tidak berusaha untuk move on.

There's a funny, instructive little story in Michael Lewis' "Moneyball" that no one remembers because it doesn't involve Billy Beane and therefore was never recreated on a movie screen by Brad Pitt.

In the late 1970s or early 80s, the Houston Astros commissioned a study about what might happen to their team's performance if they moved the outfield fences closer to home plate. They wanted to move the fences in because they figured it would lead to more home runs, and because fans love home runs, they figured they'd sell more tickets. Except, given the types of hitters and pitchers on Houston's roster, the study's authors found, moving the fences in would actually lead to more losses for the Astros.

So, Houston's decision-makers looked at the data, and they decided ... to order that the study never be made public. They'd already made the decision to move the fences in and only wanted data that would support their choice.

I was told a similar story about a professional soccer club by someone who has been working in the industry for more than a decade. The team commissioned him to work up scouting reports for three different players. He broke down each player in detail, and his conclusion for each one was the same: You do not want to sign any of these players. The club responded by asking him if he was able to send over positive scouting reports for each player; they'd already committed to signing all of them.

In both stories, the organizations wanted to use data, but not to make better decisions. They wanted it to justify the decisions they had already made.

• Why missing the Champions League might boost PL teams
• Premier League without set-piece goals: What would the table look like?
• 2026 World Cup squads ranked: All 48 national teams

Now these might sound like stories from a simpler time. Almost every baseball team is being run with way more advanced analytical models than the public can access. And soccer data is everywhere now; Amazon is powering Bundesliga broadcasts and "expected goals" have become part of the common language for virtually every English-language broadcaster.

Yet, while baseball teams have mostly moved beyond using numbers to reiterate and justify their own ingrained biases, soccer clubs have not. They're still not even close. Don't believe me? All you have to do is take a look at the team that, reportedly, was considering telling its own fans that it had "redefined what a modern football club can be."

In other words, all you have to do is look at Tottenham Hotspur.

What we know about how soccer works

Perhaps the core insight of soccer's analytics movement is something that everyone already knows: The best team doesn't always win.

This is essentially what expected goals tells us. At almost any point in a given season, a team's expected-goal differential is a better predictor of future performance than any other top-level number like shots, goals or points. If the best team always won, then past wins would immediately tell us who the best teams are, and then those past wins would predict the future.

Instead, it would appear that the best teams are the teams that accrue the greatest proportion of expected goals in their matches. If we simplify that idea down beyond the abstraction of an ever-updating algorithm that awards every attempt in a given match a specific conversion probability, then the best teams are simply the teams that create better chances than their opponents.

This is something that anyone who has played or watched the sport for long enough really does understand on a deep level -- whether or not they're willing to admit it. But by acknowledging this, we're accepting that there's a large amount of randomness inherent to the outcome of a given soccer match, because there's a large amount of randomness inherent to kicking a bouncing ball, with a misshapen foot, past the one guy on the field who is allowed to use his hands.

Now, the Premier League season isn't that long, and each season consists of something like 20 different team-level experiments. So over a decade, we get 200 different little experiments. And over these 200 different seasons, we'd expect there to be a couple of examples where the randomness boosts, or punishes, a team for an entire season.

That is exactly what we see. Here's every Premier League season since 2010, arranged by how much a team underperformed or overperformed its xG differential:

That team all the way to the right is Tottenham in 2016-17. And if you had to pick anyone to occupy the far-left spot, Tottenham in 2025-26 would seem like a pretty good choice, right? For one of the 10 richest teams in the world to be in a relegation battle with six games left to go in the season, surely "historically bad luck" would have to play a role?

Nope. That's Sheffield United in 2023-24.

This season, Tottenham aren't an outlier at all. Their goal differential (minus-11) is actually slightly better than their xG differential (minus-15.13), but not that much.

How, then, does a team with what's estimated to be the ninth-most valuable roster in the world actually become one of the worst teams in the Premier League? One possibility: You measure the things that you think matter -- and not the things that actually do matter.

Tottenham's major issue: They can't pass

Usually, soccer is a complex, dynamic game where individual qualities are impossible to extract from the interdependencies of roster construction, managerial instructions and on-field interactions. But sometimes you get a team like Tottenham, where the diagnosis is pretty simple: These guys can't pass.

At Gradient Sports, there is a team of people who watch every Premier League game and grade every pass a player makes on a minus-2 to plus-2 scale. Here's how they describe the process:

For example, consider a centre-back passing the ball on the halfway line. A routine, unpressured pass to an open teammate would receive a 0, as this meets the expectation of our expert Grading team. A precise, line-breaking pass under pressure would receive a positive grade. Conversely, an underhit pass to a teammate -- even if completed -- would receive a negative grade if it falls below the expected standard. This reflects our focus on evaluating performance rather than just outcomes.

The grading process is guided by detailed frameworks designed to minimise subjectivity and ensure consistency. Once raw grades are collected, they undergo multiple layers of quality control, including senior review of flagged actions, consistency checks, ongoing analysis, and dedicated quality assurance processes.

Based on this process of evaluating passing, here's where Tottenham's five best passers rank in the Premier League season:

1. Cristian Romero: 19th
2. Mickey van de Ven: 87th
3. Destiny Udogie: 152nd
4. Kevin Danso: 167th
5. Mohamed Kudus: 186th

Passing is the fundamental skill in this sport. The average Premier League team attempts 450 passes per game. Nothing else comes close: in a single game, the average team attempts eight shots, crosses the ball 18 times, tries to dribble past defenders 18 times, attempts 16 tackles, and makes eight interceptions. If you can't pass the ball, then nothing else matters. It's the force at the heart of the game that gives everything else meaning.

So, how the heck does one of the richest teams in the world -- one that purports to be the modern example of what a soccer club is -- build a team with only two of the 150 best passers in its own league?

The rise of the wrong analytics

Over the past few years, a new set of numbers has emerged in the soccer world. Rather than quantifying the things that lead to winning, they quantify the things that scouts and coaches have always seemed to value: Who is big and who is fast? Who looks good? Who would be unstoppable if I could teach him how to play?

A number of companies, like Gradient and SkillCorner, now offer a spate of physical metrics that show how often a player is running -- in and out of possession, at top speed, at high speed, etc. I don't fault any of the companies for doing this; it's good that these datasets exist. One of the things that's been missing from soccer data since the start is anything that tells us what everyone else is doing off the ball. The average player has possession of the ball, at most, only for a couple minutes per game, and most soccer data is only quantifying that tiny snapshot of time. It doesn't come close to telling us everything, but it is telling us the most important things.

Used properly, this off-ball, physical data can be incredibly powerful. If you're running a team and you can figure out how to combine these physical metrics with what drives winning and scoring goals, then you've created a new, much more holistic understanding of player value, and you'll have a leg up on anyone who is only using passing and shots to quantify performance. But that's really hard, and since it's really hard, it's not really happening.

Instead, as a source who has worked with a number of Champions League clubs put it to me, the physical metrics are allowing clubs just to confirm their own biases -- the same biases we've been talking about in this battle between scouts and stats since "Moneyball" was written. Except, now we have new stats that say the scouts were right.

How else to explain what happened with Spurs?

What Tottenham have is a roster filled with explosive athletes who can run. Using their physical metrics, Gradient created an "athleticism" score that's a combo of endurance, explosiveness and speed that adjusts for position and size. It's on a 1-100 scale. Tottenham have seven players at a 90 or above and five of them -- Wilson Odobert, Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray, Dominic Solanke, Conor Gallagher -- were signed after Johan Lange became the club's technical director in October 2023. The first four were the four outfield players signed during Lange's first summer in charge.

You can't build a roster that can't pass unless you're systematically focused on a set of alternative player attributes that creates an institutional blind spot. Given that Romero -- by far their best passer -- was signed in 2021, and James Maddison, who has been injured all season but is easily their other best passer and was signed in the summer of 2023, the ignorance of what actually matters becomes even more stark.

One of the more memorable stories from "Moneyball" is the one where Billy Beane is arguing with his scouts, who are obsessing over how big a guy's butt is, what kind of face he has, or if his girlfriend is attractive. Beane keeps coming back to the question, "But can he hit?" Eventually he becomes enraged, and yells to everyone in the room, "I repeat: We're not selling jeans here."

I've heard it suggested that having someone who understands data and giving them an actual voice in your club is valuable simply because of all the things they'll keep you from doing, by reminding you to keep the main thing, the main thing. But can he hit? At Spurs, though, it seems like a new set of numbers might've blinded the club into thinking that they actually were in the business of selling jeans. What they really needed -- and what would've saved them from relegation -- was someone who kept asking a simple question:

But can he pass?

THE SUN WAS still hours away from rising over the Manhattan skyline, but a lively LaMelo Ball was up shortly after 4 a.m., delivering perhaps his most important assist for the Charlotte Hornets on this crisp morning in April 2025.

Ball and Hornets general manager Jeff Peterson were on their way to the renowned Hospital for Special Surgery for the point guard's season-ending arthroscopic surgeries on his right wrist and ankle. As their town car cruised up the near-empty New York City streets, Peterson asked Ball for his input on some potential lottery draft targets. The point guard's attention turned toward a highly touted Duke prospect.

Although Cooper Flagg was the consensus can't-miss prospect, Ball was talking up Kon Knueppel to the Hornets GM. Ball had watched Duke play during the season and told Peterson how savvy he thought the forward was. He was struck by Knueppel's basketball IQ and understanding of the game -- impressive even for a five-star prospect. And of course, there was Knueppel's elite shooting.

Ball's astute scouting report was before Charlotte even knew where it would be drafting. The Hornets learned in the draft lottery a month later that they would have the fourth pick, which they eventually used on Knueppel.

"He's spot on with those traits," Peterson told ESPN of that break-of-dawn draft breakdown. "He was very detailed in his evaluation of why he liked him. That was even more impressive that he was able to kind of highlight him because there were some other guys that he didn't highlight.

"He may have a future in the front office if he wants."

A year later, Ball is having the most successful season of his career. And Knueppel, whose historic first season could lead to Rookie of the Year honors, has been a revelation and the perfect player to unlock Ball's and the Hornets' potential.

Ball and Knueppel have formed a Hornets 3-point shooting duo of the future that has a new-age Splash Brothers feel to it. Charlotte has been perhaps the best story of the NBA season and authored the most surprising turnaround with a potent starting five that includes the emerging Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate. The Hornets won 44 games after totaling just 19 wins a season ago. Only the Spurs have had a bigger turnaround this season.

"Nobody's thinking that playing Charlotte is going to be an easy walkover game," Knueppel told ESPN. "Which it has been the last couple years."

After averaging 60 losses over the previous three seasons, Charlotte has its buzz back for perhaps the first time since Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning were whipping the Hive into a frenzy and the Hornets looked like a team of the future back in the '90s. At the controls is Ball, who is not only healthy but also is trying to prove that he's a winning point guard and not all flash. And the young talent that Charlotte has collected is blossoming and determined to show the Hornets are no longer a punchline.

The Hornets could've succumbed to an early rash of injuries and a 4-14 start, but instead they are two wins away from snapping the NBA's longest current playoff drought. After nine years of postseason-less basketball, Charlotte can end the futility by advancing out of the play-in, which begins Tuesday night with its game against the 10th-seeded Miami Heat.

Since Jan. 2, the Hornets have gone 33-15 with belief-building -- and at times convincing -- wins over the Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and Denver Nuggets.

"We just continue to change the narrative," guard Coby White, who was a key trade acquisition at the deadline, told ESPN. "Before, people weren't serious about Hornets basketball. Sports analysts made jokes on TV. A lot of guys in the locker room were offended and took that to heart. So you see the way that they play -- they're tired of that narrative here.

"Now I think the world is starting to see how serious Hornets basketball is."

WHEN THE INDIANA PACERS were making their stunning run in the Finals against the Thunder, Bridges, Ball and Miller texted each other.

"'We can do that too,'" Bridges told ESPN of what they said to one another. "We kind of modeled our game after that. We want to get out and run like this."

Indiana lost Tyrese Haliburton to an Achilles tendon injury and lost the Finals in Game 7. But the Hornets saw the possibilities of running an up-tempo offense with an improvising point guard who can pass and shoot. Last season, Ball and Haliburton were first and second, according to GeniusIQ, in jump passes per game, which can create movement in a random offense and be difficult to defend.

Head coach Charles Lee -- who also adds a Boston flavor to the Hornets' offensive style from his time as a Celtics assistant under Joe Mazzulla -- can often be seen signaling a playcall with a steering wheel gesture to his team. It's fitting since the Hornets want to play full throttle with constant movement; they lead the NBA in double on-ball screens per game and points per game off those actions this season, according to ESPN Research.

"They gave the blueprint for a lot," Knueppel said of the Pacers. "We might not have like the superstar, All-Star, All-NBA guy, but we got a lot of good players. When we play fast and we have a bunch of guys that can really contribute, it's just a good style for us."

In their second season together, Peterson and Lee set a different tone in camp with a move that was unlike the Hornets of the past. Charlotte waived veteran guard Spencer Dinwiddie in October just three months after signing him to a one-year, $3.6 million deal. The Hornets instead kept veteran Pat Connaughton as a locker room presence, making a financial choice that the franchise might not have done in the past.

"Of course Spencer's talented, a great guy," said Bridges, the longest-tenured Hornet who has been with the club since entering the league in 2018. "But they kind of went with Pat because Pat has a ring, has been around great playoff teams, has a great voice. We just need those type of guys in the locker room.

"I didn't think we were going to cut [Dinwiddie]. It was definitely eye-opening."

Even though the Hornets lost 14 of their first 18 games, including a seven-game slide, the locker room was able to stick together and not fall into old habits despite injuries to Ball and Miller.

"When I first got here, sometimes it was hard for guys to fight through those moments of adversity," Lee told ESPN. "I felt sometimes guys were like, 'Ah, we're the Hornets. Here we go. We're injured again. We're going to lose the game.' And there was almost like this defeated attitude when adversity hit."

But Lee saw a different attitude this season. Once Ball and Miller got healthy and Lee turned to a starting five of Ball, Miller, Knueppel, Bridges and Diabate, the Hornets took off. They shockingly destroyed the Thunder in Oklahoma City, 124-97, on Jan. 5.

"After the game, we were like, 'Why can't we do this every game?'" Bridges said. "Ever since then, we had the confidence that we could beat anybody."

They pummeled the Utah Jazz 150-95 for the second-largest win in franchise history five nights later. They later beat the Lakers in Los Angeles by 18, won at Denver by 23 and went on a nine-game winning streak and another six-game streak in late February through early March. Those six straight wins came by 15-plus points, tied for the second-longest streak by that big of a margin within a season in NBA history. Since Jan. 1, Charlotte owns the top-ranked offense (120.7 ORTG) and fifth-ranked defense (110.2 DRTG).

"Similar to OKC, you have a bunch of guys all bought into a role," the Philadelphia 76ers' Paul George said. "They play an ego-less basketball ... They're all kind of shining together."

Like most young teams, Charlotte still has difficulties pulling out close games and is just 10-18 in clutch-time games, when the scoring margin in the last five minutes is within five points. The Hornets also have to show they can handle physical and bigger teams. They viewed a recent three-game home stretch against the Knicks, Sixers and Celtics as a major test against teams with playoff-tested stars.

They wasted a 15-point lead and lost 118-114 at home to the 76ers -- who had Tyrese Maxey, George and Joel Embiid back together -- in a game that had a playoff feel to it on March 28. The next day, the Hornets lost 114-99 to Jayson Tatum and the Celtics, who played without Jaylen Brown. Ball and Knueppel shot a combined 22-for-72 from the field in the two losses.

"That's the next step," White said. "Everything else, you check the box. For us, winning those games in the mud when things aren't going your way ... These are how games are in the playoffs."

The Hornets, though, showed why they can be so dangerous in a 114-103 win over the Knicks on March 26. During a 64-second blitz in the third quarter, Ball and Knueppel combined to hit three deep triples. Knueppel kept popping open off screens for 11 momentum-building points in the quarter.

When Miller threw down a thunderous fast-break dunk with 8:32 left in the fourth quarter to push the Hornets up by 21, the forward dapped up rapper DaBaby, a frequent supporter, on the baseline. The Spectrum Center exploded, with Hornets supporters for once drowning out the large contingent of Knicks fans who always show up.

That game was one of the Spectrum Center's record 25 sellouts this season. Dell Curry -- the all-time leader in games played for a franchise that once sold out 371 consecutive games from 1988 to 1997 -- called the victory over the Knicks a top-three game for the organization in the past decade.

"Charlotte's been starving," Curry, the current team TV analyst, told ESPN. "It's been hungry for a team to play like this."

Fans have gravitated toward the Hornets for the high-octane offense but also their refusal to back down from a fight. When the Pistons snapped the Hornets' nine-game winning streak in Charlotte on Feb. 9, the two teams got into the biggest brawl of the season, resulting in ejections and eventual suspensions for Diabate, Bridges and Detroit's Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart. Lee was also ejected for arguing with an official.

"They were trying to b---h us the whole game, push us while we're down, staring at us," Bridges said. "I feel like we showed the league that we're not backing down from anybody.

"We definitely wanted to show other teams that we're not soft, and we've been doing that."

MONTHS BEFORE THE Hornets led the defending champs by as much as 30 in OKC, Ball knew the Hornets would be a serious problem.

When Knueppel joined the veterans for summer workouts and runs at Queens University in August, the Hornets began to see their potential. He and Ball hit it off immediately. They flashed "incredible synergy" and were able to repeatedly find each other open on the floor, according to Peterson.

"We knew [for a long time]," Ball told ESPN of when he realized the Hornets were going to be this good. "Like I ain't going to lie, in the summer, we saw Kon, we saw everybody hooping. We're like, 'Oh, we got a squad for sure. We just got to put it together.'"

It also did not take long for the two to form a bond off the floor as the Hornets' odd couple.

"Opposites attract," Ball explained.

Ball is a larger-than-life "1-of-1" personality whose voice can often be heard echoing throughout the corridors of the Spectrum Center, where the Hornets also practice.

The buttoned-up Knueppel doesn't show much emotion on the floor. But the rookie says he and Ball are actually on the same wavelength, often shooting sarcastic looks at each other in the locker room as they laugh at or joke about other teammates.

"Kon's more of like a dry humor, almost like 'The Office,'" Lee said. "And Melo's more like 'Martin' or 'In Living Color.' But they crack each other up."

Winning, though, is no laughing matter for Knueppel. Even as a 20-year-old rookie, he has called out the team during film sessions on improving winning habits and even has chewed out vets like Bridges for "bulls-------" like during a game against Atlanta earlier in the season.

"Just bringing a mature approach," Knueppel said of trying to inject a winning attitude. "I think that was something that was important to the organization, just getting guys in here that think about basketball in a way where winning is like the only thing that matters. Ego-less basketball players. That was important to just kind of set that tone."

Veterans and coaches have pointed out Knueppel's laser-like focus on winning as having had a significant impact.

"Kon's a little bit more of an a--hole, but like our a--hole," forward Grant Williams told ESPN with a sincere smile. "But he's a great human being. He's the guy that just keeps it blunt, tells the truth. And then Melo's loud, eccentric, tattooed ... I feel like Kon's a little bit more religious. Just completely random different walks of life.

"But they work so well together."

On the court, the two have been lethal from behind the arc, with Knueppel becoming the first rookie to lead the league in 3-pointers made (273) and Ball finishing second (272). Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are the only other teammates to finish first and second in the same season, doing it four times at the height of their 3-point powers.

Averaging 18.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 42.5% from behind the arc, Knueppel passed Michael Jordan for most games by a rookie with 20-plus points on 65% true shooting with 32 such games.

"People classify him as a shooter, a guy that needs others to create for him -- he's not that," Williams said. "He's a guy that can create his own shot, great footwork, can really get downhill, put pressure on the rim, good finisher.

"But he also knocks down that 3 like I've never seen before."

LESS THAN FIVE minutes into the Hornets' game against the Sixers, Ball hit the floor after taking a sharp elbow to the face from Embiid. The Spectrum Center crowd held its collective breath given Ball's injury history. But Ball has been getting back up repeatedly this season, playing in a career-high 56 consecutive games dating back to Dec. 14.

After missing a total of 141 games over the previous three seasons due to injuries -- the Hornets went 31-110 without Ball during that span -- Ball committed to getting in better shape.

"He's really locking in on his body," Kemba Walker, Charlotte's all-time leading scorer and current assistant coach, told ESPN. "His approach, everyday habits, he's really just been embracing his leadership role. Melo's still learning how to be a leader, how to win. And I think he's finally got it figured out."

Ball, 24, arrived at camp with 12 pounds of added muscle to his 6-foot-7, 180-pound frame. He also has accepted playing fewer minutes and even not starting at times. When the Hornets tried to find a creative way to allow him to play at the end of halves in back-to-back games in January while being careful with his usage after he missed 10 games earlier in the season due to a right ankle injury, Ball volunteered to come off the bench in three games, according to Peterson.

"LaMelo has been so talented growing up that he has been able to get away with some things," Peterson said. "But when you get to this age, are you going to dive on the floor for loose balls? Are you going to be committed to the scouting report? Are you going to get the extra couple hours of sleep? Are you coming in early to take care of your body? And he's doing all those things more consistently now.

"It says a lot to a guy of that caliber, he's playing less. His scoring averages are lower, but the team is having more success."

Ball's scoring is down from 25.2 points per game last season to 20.1 points per game, and his 17.3 shot attempts per game are his fewest since his second season. Ball's assists (7.1) and rebounds (4.8) per game, along with his usage rate, are also lower than a season ago.

Lee isn't afraid to hold Ball accountable and take him out after a bad play. Playing the fewest minutes per game (28.0) of his six-year career and touching the ball less, the point guard's turnovers are down to 2.8, the first time he's under three per game since his rookie season. His 3-point shooting percentage of 36.8% is his highest since his third season in the league.

Teammates say they see a different Ball this season. Bridges said he had never seen the point guard yell at a teammate before this season.

"People only see the flashy moves, the one-leg 3s," Miller, who is averaging 20.2 points and 4.9 rebounds, told ESPN. "I don't think people see a lot of his effort on the defensive side, which changed a lot for him. He's just trying to make everybody better around him. That's why he's our leader."

A year after Ball assisted Peterson with his intel on Knueppel, the two shooters won 44 games -- a career high for Ball. Now he wants to help Charlotte reach the postseason and win its first playoff game since 2016.

"My whole life, I've been a winner," Ball said of what has clicked for him this season and learning how to win. "Just love winning. I just never rocked with losing. I've always been chasing winning, doing whatever I could to win. It's just stuff [like injuries are] going to be unfortunate, not everything's going to go your way and that's how it was before.

"... I feel like I should have made the playoffs [before]. So [this would be] a step in the right direction. But it's not what I'm satisfied with. We're trying to win some championships for sure."

In 1993, Andre the Giant became the first inductee, paving the way for future generations of professional wrestlers.

This year's spotlight shines on WWE Grand Slam Champion AJ Styles and former WWE CEO Stephanie McMahon. Three-time WWE tag team champions Demolition will also be inducted, along with two-time WWE and WCW Heavyweight champion Sid, Bad News Brown and celebrity inductee Dennis Rodman.

This year's Immortal Moment -- introduced at last year's Hall of Fame ceremony to celebrate historic matches -- will honor the renowned Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant showdown at WrestleMania III.

Let's have a closer look at this year's inductees.

AJ Styles

In a career that spanned nearly three decades, Styles built one of the most influential paths in pro wrestling. Before his Royal Rumble debut in 2016, Styles had brief appearances in WWE and WCW, gaining some experience before moving on to the independent circuit, Ring of Honor and NWA-TNA.

In 2002, Styles became the first NWA-TNA X-Division champion, a division known for its fast pace and aerial offense -- Styles' game in a nutshell. The championship, which still stands today, was largely built on Styles' body of work.

Styles, a two-time TNA World Heavyweight champion, won his first in 2009, when he defeated a couple of other future WWE Hall of Famers in that match, Kurt Angle and Sting.

Styles also made a major impact in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Though he had worked with the company previously, he returned in 2014, and, in addition to winning the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship twice, he led the influential Bullet Club faction.

After nearly 18 standout years in pro wrestling, Styles finally signed with WWE in 2016. His debut became one of the most memorable Royal Rumble moments, entering as a surprise and immediately going face-to-face with Roman Reigns.

It wasn't long before Styles climbed the ladder and established himself on "SmackDown" as the "Face That Runs the Place." Less than one year after his debut at the Rumble, Styles won the WWE Championship, a title he held twice. Holding gold was common for Styles in the WWE -- he won the Intercontinental Championship, the United States Championship three times and the tag titles twice. He also holds the honor of sharing the stage with The Undertaker in what was the final WrestleMania match for the "Deadman."

Styles' decade in WWE cemented him as one of the company's greats. It's no wonder his Hall of Fame induction came so soon after his final match in January. Styles is the definition of a Hall of Famer.

Stephanie McMahon

The McMahon family laid the foundation for WWE, and Stephanie has been instrumental in its success, as a performer, promoter and executive.

Originally introduced as the friendly but quiet daughter of Vince McMahon in 1999, Stephanie transformed into one of the company's top villains in less than a year.

Initially pitted against Triple H, who manipulated her into a storyline marriage, Stephanie joined forces with him to form the McMahon-Helmsley era, instantly functioning as WWE's dominant heel faction.

Stephanie mastered the art of crowd control that few WWE performers have been able to do, seamlessly combining confidence with just the right amount of whining and antagonism to rile up fans. The blend was heel perfection.

Stephanie grappled a bit inside the ring as well, winning the WWE Women's Championship, a title she held on to for close to 150 days in early 2000.

She later reinvented herself as a fan favorite during her time as "SmackDown" general manager, before eventually returning to her on-screen roots. In 2013, she reunited with Triple H as part of The Authority, once again becoming the company's primary heels.

Behind the scenes, Stephanie has been a force. She has been WWE executive vice president, chief brand officer and chairwoman/co-CEO.

Stephanie was a major part of the Women's Revolution, famously introducing Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Sasha Banks on an episode of "Raw" in July 2015, a turning point in the evolution of women's wrestling.

Stephanie McMahon is as deserving a WWE Hall of Fame inductee as there's ever been.

Demolition

Known for their unique appearance and aggression, Demolition stood out as a premier tag team in WWE in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Managed by WWE Hall of Famer Mr. Fuji for much of their run, Ax and Smash captured the WWE Tag Team Championship three times. The first came at WrestleMania IV in 1988, when they defeated Strike Force. It became a historic title run, spanning a record 478 days.

Demolition dominated the tag team scene between 1988 and 1990, with all three of their reigns coming during that span and totaling 698 days.

Though Ax and Smash led Demolition through its peak, Crush also deserves some recognition. He joined the group in 1990 and became a tag champ during their third title run.

Legacy inductee: Sid

Sid is a long-overdue WWE Hall of Fame inductee. Throughout his career, he moved between NWA/WCW and WWE, achieving success at each company and delivering strong character work, especially during his time in WWE.

Sid's first true claim to fame was his inclusion in the legendary Four Horsemen stable, however, his first run in WWE established him as a main attraction. He debuted in WWE in 1991, and a year later, he was in the WrestleMania VIII main event, where he battled Hulk Hogan.

In 1995, he adopted the gimmick of Psycho Sid, often working alongside Shawn Michaels as his enforcer -- and nemesis. This led to two WWE Championship reigns, with Sid defeating two of the best -- Michaels and Bret Hart -- to capture the titles.

Sid later returned to WCW and became a two-time heavyweight champion.

Legacy inductee: Bad News Brown

Bad News Brown was exactly what his moniker indicated -- he was a no-nonsense powerhouse. After a brief stint with the WWE in the late 1970s, Brown returned to the WWE in 1988 and immediately made an impact at WrestleMania IV, winning the opening Battle Royal by eliminating WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart last.

Throughout his time in the WWE, Brown worked with the top stars -- Hulk Hogan, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.

Brown faced Jim Duggan at WrestleMania V, followed by a match with Roddy Piper at WrestleMania VI.

Brown was a true tough guy -- a persona that left a lasting mark in WWE.

Celebrity inductee: Dennis Rodman

Rodman was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011. In 2026, he will join the WWE Hall of Fame.

One of the NBA's most notable rebounders made his pro wrestling debut in 1997 alongside "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan on "WCW Monday Nitro." Rodman became a member of the New World Order and took part in a trio of matches during his time with the company.

At the 1997 Bash at the Beach pay-per-view, he teamed with Hogan, but the duo lost to Lex Luger and The Giant (Big Show). At the same event a year later, Rodman picked up his first pro wrestling victory when he and Hogan beat Diamond Dallas Page and NBA star Karl Malone. In 1999, Rodman took part in a match with Randy Savage at Road Wild.

Rodman's charisma fit perfectly in the world of pro wrestling, and he has earned his spot in the celebrity wing.

Immortal moment: Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant, WrestleMania III

The bodyslam heard around the world is one of the most replayed scenes in WWE history. At WrestleMania III, Hogan and Andre met in one of the company's most famous main events.

Before the epic clash, the former allies became rivals during several "Piper's Pit" segments, where Andre eventually challenged Hogan for the WWE Championship. To this day, it's one of the all-time great buildups to a WrestleMania match.

A claimed record attendance of 93,000 fans at Michigan's Pontiac Silverdome watched as Hogan struggled to bodyslam Andre early in the match. But as the match neared its culmination, he lifted Andre and delivered the slam -- and the crowd erupted.

The bodyslam ranks as one of pro wrestling's greatest moments.

CHICAGO -- First, the Buffalo Sabres stopped their long playoff drought. Then, Alex Tuch & Co. won the Atlantic Division.

They have no intention of stopping now.

Buffalo is aiming high after a 5-1 victory at Chicago on Monday night secured the franchise's first division title since the 2009-10 season and seventh overall. The Sabres became the fifth team in NHL history to clinch a division crown after overcoming a standings deficit of eight or more points.

"It feels really good, but we've got a bigger goal in mind," Tuch said. "So, get some good momentum going into the playoffs. It doesn't mean anything if you don't lift the ultimate trophy at the end of the year."

Buffalo (50-23-8) has never won the Stanley Cup. The team finished seventh in the Atlantic Division last season, but this group of Sabres has been on a roll since December.

With Tuch and Tage Thompson leading the way, the Sabres cruised past the Blackhawks to improve to 39-9-4 in their last 52 games. They reached 50 wins for the third time in club history, also accomplishing the feat in 2005-06 and 2006-07.

"The season has been a total team effort," said coach Lindy Ruff, who is in his second stint with the Sabres.

Buffalo clinched a playoff spot on April 4. The previous playoff appearance for the franchise was in 2011, when it was eliminated by Philadelphia in seven games in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.

The 14 straight seasons of futility was an NHL record and one of the longest active streaks among the four major North American sports, ranking second behind the NFL's New York Jets, who last qualified for the playoffs in 2010.

"Unbelievable job by our group," Thompson said. "From December on, getting us to the place we're at right now. Home ice is a huge advantage in the playoffs and being able to give these fans that is something pretty special to me and all the rest of the guys in here, 'cause of what they've been through."

Thompson scored twice in the victory over Chicago, and Tuch had a goal and an assist. Thompson, 28, who helped the U.S. win the gold medal at the Olympics, reached 40 goals for the second straight season and third overall.

"It definitely means a lot," Thompson said. "You set goals for yourself. You set goals as a team and certainly you do as individuals as well. That's always a place that I want to try to get to and feel I am capable of. When you get close or you get it once or twice, you just want to keep pushing the envelope and see how much more you can get."

Thompson leads Buffalo with 40 goals and 81 points, but he has received plenty of help. Tuch has 32 goals and 33 assists, and captain Rasmus Dahlin has a team-high 55 assists. Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is 22-9-3 with a 2.52 goals-against average after making 15 stops against the Blackhawks.

The Sabres were in the mix for the top spot in the Eastern Conference before Carolina secured the position by earning a point in a shootout loss at Philadelphia.

The Sabres host Dallas on Wednesday night in their regular-season finale. After that, it's the first round of the playoffs against Boston or Ottawa.

"It's kind of hard to celebrate now knowing we have unbelievable challenges in front of us here," Dahlin said. "Now we're just going to switch focus to the playoffs. We have to get ready, that's for sure."

Video assistant referee causes controversy every week whether it be the Premier League, Champions League or FA Cup, but how are decisions made and are they correct?

This season, we take a look at the major incidents to examine and explain the process both in terms of VAR protocol and the Laws of the Game.

Andy Davies (@andydaviesref) is a former Select Group referee, with over 12 seasons on the elite list, working across the Premier League and Championship. With extensive experience at the elite level, he has operated within the VAR space in the Premier League and offers a unique insight into the processes, rationale and protocols that are delivered on a Premier League matchday.

Manchester United 1-2 Leeds United

Referee: Paul Tierney
VAR: John Brooks
Incident: Lisandro Martinez red card

What happened: What initially appeared to be an innocuous aerial challenge involving Manchester United defender Martinez and Leeds United striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, resulted in the defender being sent off for pulling Calvert-Lewin's hair after a VAR review.

Credit: Sky Sports

Why was this a red card: Following a new directive this season, referees have been asked to apply a strict threshold whenever hair pulling occurs. This action is deemed as a non-football action and not acceptable within a typical challenge. Indeed, it must be deemed violent conduct and sanctioned with a red card.

A precedent was set in the Premier League when Everton defender Michael Keane was punished for a similar foul on Wolves striker Tolu Arokodare back in January.

However, in the UEFA Women's Champions League, Arsenal's Katie McCabe was not punished when she clearly pulled the hair of Chelsea player Alyssa Thompson. Neither the on-field referee team nor the VAR identified this incident as a red-card offense and the Arsenal player went unpunished.

Credit: ESPN

Verdict: Given the current guidance from PGMOL and the Premier League, the decision to send off Martinez was the correct one, though United boss Michael Carrick said afterward that it was "one of worst he's ever seen."

The length of time that referee Tierney spent at the screen suggests he was slightly uncomfortable with the ultimate decision to produce a red card, as the level of contact was negligible, but the directive from PGMOL and the league does not make that a consideration.

An increase in these types of incidents in recent seasons led the authorities to send a strong message that this type of act would be dealt with zero tolerance. While this stance is unlikely to change for the remainder of the season, I would anticipate some discussion over the summer on this topic and whether authorities should continue with a zero-tolerance policy.

The Women's Champions League incident was a clear error as the action met all the criteria for violent conduct on its own, irrespective of any new directive advised to the match officials.

The action by McCabe was deliberate, with force and, in my opinion, should have been identified by the on-field referee and the fourth official. The non-intervention by VAR was particularly disappointing and difficult to understand; it was a clear red-card offense, and the Arsenal player should have been sent off.

Media sosial beredar kabar yang menyebut kebiasaan mandi setelah makan bisa memicu asam urat pada anak.

Informasi ini viral di media sosial dan membuat banyak orang tua khawatir.

Mengacu pada klarifikasi resmi, klaim tersebut dipastikan tidak benar alias hoaks.

Informasi itu berasal dari unggahan media sosial yang menarasikan seorang anak sakit setelah dimandikan usai makan.

Dalam unggahan tersebut bahkan dituliskan: "Stop Kebiasaan Mandiin Anak Setelah Makan! Anak 7 Tahun dilarikan ke rumah sakit...," tulis keterangan unggahan tersebut.

Meski terdengar meyakinkan, para ahli menegaskan tidak ada hubungan antara mandi setelah makan dengan penyakit asam urat.

Dosen Ilmu Kesehatan Masyarakat Universitas Jember, dr. Ida Srisurani Wiji Astuti, menegaskan bahwa klaim tersebut tidak memiliki dasar ilmiah.

"Tidak ada bukti ilmiah yang menunjukkan kebiasaan mandi setelah makan dapat menyebabkan asam urat pada anak," kata Ida.

Ia menjelaskan, asam urat pada anak justru umumnya dipicu oleh faktor medis tertentu, bukan kebiasaan sehari-hari seperti mandi setelah makan.

Beberapa penyebab yang lebih relevan antara lain gangguan ginjal, infeksi saluran kemih, hingga kelainan metabolik atau faktor genetik. Selain itu, obesitas juga menjadi salah satu faktor risiko yang cukup berpengaruh.

Penjelasan lain juga menyebut bahwa asam urat berkaitan dengan kadar purin dalam tubuh, yang biasanya berasal dari makanan tertentu seperti daging merah atau seafood, bukan karena aktivitas mandi.

Dengan demikian, klaim bahwa mandi setelah makan dapat menyebabkan asam urat pada anak tidak dapat dibuktikan secara medis.

Alih-alih khawatir berlebihan, orang tua sebaiknya fokus pada pola makan sehat, aktivitas fisik, serta menjaga kondisi kesehatan anak secara menyeluruh.

Momo TWICE belum lama ini membuat fans khawatir usai ia menjalani prosedur cabut gigi di tengah jadwal tur konser dunia yang padat. Girl group di bawah naungan JYP Entertainment itu diketahui tengah menjalani tur konser bertajuk THIS IS FOR.

Kabar mengejutkan ini dibagikan Momo TWICE lewat platform interaksi dengan fans, Bubble. Terungkap bahwa Momo terpaksa menjalani prosedur cabut gigi saat tur THIS IS FOR digelar di Amerika Utara.

Lewat Bubble, Momo mengungkapkan bahwa dirinya mendadak harus mendapatkan penanganan medis di Chicago. TWICE sendiri tampil di kota itu pada 6 April 2026, yang langsung dilanjutkan ke kota lain, yakni Detroit dan Minnesota di akhir pekan yang sama.

Jadwal konser yang padat membuat Momo tak bisa menjalani prosedur medis lain terkait kondisi giginya. Ia mengungkapkan bahwa dokter menawarkan opsi operasi akar atau dicabut. Momo kemudian mengambil opsi dicabut karena bisa selesai dalam satu hari.

Operasi akar gigi akan memakan waktu lebih banyak dan membuatnya terpaksa batal tampil di atas panggung. Maka dengan pertimbangan jadwal yang padat, Momo TWICE terpaksa tampil dengan pipi bengkak akibat prosedur cabut gigi.

"Aku nggak punya pilihan selain mencabutnya secepat mungkin," tulis Momo TWICE, dikutip Selasa (14/3).

"Tidak sabar untuk bisa kembali ke Korea seminggu lagi untuk mendapatkan perawatan," tambahnya.

Momo kemudian mengungkapkan bahwa dirinya mengonsumsi obat penahan rasa sakit agar bisa memberikan penampilan yang maksimal. Sayangnya, tindakan ini tak banyak membantu. Momo pun mengalami kesulitan tidur karena rasa sakit.

Curhatan Momo soal masalah giginya kemudian membuat fans khawatir. Tak sedikit yang juga menyoroti jadwal padat TWICE yang kini tengah menjalani tur dunia, terutama karena sejumlah personel lain juga mengalami berbagai insiden.

Fans kini berharap Momo TWICE bisa segera kembali ke Korea untuk menjalani perawatan yang lebih baik.

Puasa Arafah merupakan salah satu amalan sunnah yang biasa dikerjakan umat Muslim menjelang Iduladha. Puasa Arafah dilakukan pada 9 Zulhijah dalam kalender Hijriah.

Ibadah ini memiliki keutamaan besar, terkhusus bagi yang tidak menunaikan ibadah haji. Anjuran soal puasa Arafah telah dijelaskan dalam hadits dari Abu Qatadah r.a.:

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَوْمٍ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ؟ قَالَ: يُكَفِّرُ السَّنَةَ الْمَاضِيَةَ وَالْبَاقِيَةَ رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ.

"Rasulullah saw. pernah ditanya tentang puasa hari Arafah, kemudian beliau menjawab, 'Puasa itu dapat melebur dosa setahun yang telah berlalu dan setahun yang akan datang." (HR Muslim).

Namun, untuk menentukan kapan tanggal puasa Arafah di Indonesia, sesuai dengan hasil sidang isbat yang diselenggarakan Kementerian Agama. Tak hanya pemerintah, organisasi keagamaan seperti Muhammadiyah juga memiliki metode perhitungan tersendiri, yakni secara hisab.

Lantas, kapan puasa Arafah tahun 2026? Berikut perkiraan waktu puasa Arafah menurut Kemenag dan Muhammadiyah.

Jadwal Puasa Arafah 2026 Berdasarkan Kalender Hijriah Kemenag

Dalam menentukan Hari Raya Iduladha, pemerintah Indonesia melakukan sidang isbat yang diselenggarakan Kementerian Agama Republik Indonesia. Dalam menentukan awal 10 Zulhijah 1447 Hijriah, Kemenag menggabungkan metode hisab, yakni perhitungan astronomi dan rukyat atau pengamatan hilal.

Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan tersebut, puasa Arafah dilakukan pada 9 Zulhijah 1447 Hijriah, sehari sebelum Iduladha. Jika Iduladha diprediksi jatuh pada 27 Mei 2026, maka puasa Arafah dilakukan pada Selasa (26/5).

Namun, tanggal ini masih bersifat perkiraan. Tetap untuk menentukan kapan pelaksanaan puasa Arafah dan Hari Raya Iduladha harus menunggu hasil sidang isbat terlebih dahulu.

Jadwal Puasa Arafah 2026 Berdasarkan Kalender Muhammadiyah

Sementara itu, Pimpinan Pusat Muhammadiyah menetapkan 1 Zulhijah 1447 Hijriah jatuh pada 18 Mei 2026. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, diperkirakan 9 Zulhijah 1447 Hijriah jauh pada 26 Mei 2026 dan Iduladha 10 Zulhijah 1447 Hijriah jatuh pada 27 Mei 2026.

Di tengah momen bahagia pernikahan Teuku Rassya, muncul cerita lain yang justru menyentuh sisi emosional keluarga.

Sorotan publik terhadap kehadiran Tamara Bleszynski yang hanya sebagai tamu undangan memicu berbagai reaksi--termasuk rasa sedih dari ibu sambung Rassya, Nourah Sheivirah.

Lewat Instagram Story pada Senin (13/4), Nourah merespons langsung komentar netizen yang mempertanyakan perasaannya sebagai sesama ibu melihat Tamara tidak berada di posisi utama dalam pernikahan putranya.

Alih-alih defensif, Nourah justru menunjukkan empati yang dalam. Ia mengaku, sebagai seorang ibu, dirinya juga menginginkan kehadiran Tamara mendampingi Rassya di hari paling penting dalam hidupnya.

"Sebagai seorang ibu, tentunya aku pun mengharapkan kehadiran ibu kandung Rassya untuk hadir mendampingi Rassya di momen penting dalam hidupnya," kata Nourah.

Pernyataan itu sekaligus menepis anggapan bahwa Tamara hanya ditempatkan sebagai tamu biasa. Nourah menegaskan, sejak awal seluruh rangkaian acara justru memprioritaskan ibu kandung Rassya.

"Bukan hadir hanya sebagai tamu. Semua rundown acara pernikahan, ibu kandung yang selalu diutamakan sama seperti acara lamaran Rassya kemarin," ungkapnya.

Ia juga mengungkap bahwa segala persiapan sudah dilakukan dengan matang oleh Rassya dan sang istri. Bahkan, seragam khusus untuk Tamara telah disiapkan jauh hari sebelum acara berlangsung.

"Semua sudah dipersiapkan sendiri oleh Rassya dan Antha dari mulai seragam hingga posisi yang paling diutamakan," lanjut Nourah.

Untuk memperkuat penjelasannya, Nourah sempat membagikan bukti berupa seragam yang telah dibuat khusus untuk dua ibu-ibu kandung mempelai wanita dan ibu kandung Rassya.

Ia menyebut pakaian tersebut dibuat langsung dengan bahan berbeda sebagai bentuk penghormatan.

"Seragam ibu kandung Antha dan ibu kandung Rassya. Ibu tiri bikin sendiri dan bahan yang berbeda," tutupnya.

Sementara itu, sebelumnya Teuku Rassya juga sudah memberikan klarifikasi bahwa dirinya tidak pernah berniat menjadikan sang ibu hanya sebagai tamu.

Ia bahkan menunjukkan rundown acara yang menempatkan Tamara di posisi utama saat prosesi akad.

Namun, situasi berubah akibat miskomunikasi dengan pihak wedding organizer terkait seragam, yang kemudian membuat Tamara memilih tidak hadir di akad dan hanya datang di resepsi.

Di balik semua klarifikasi ini, satu hal yang terasa jelas: ini bukan sekadar polemik publik, melainkan dinamika keluarga yang penuh emosi, yang sayangnya ikut terseret ke ruang publik dan menjadi konsumsi banyak orang.
