Jayden Daniels has three words to describe Patrick Mahomes Bryan Manning, Commanders WireFri, July 17, 2026 at 8:04 AM UTC 0 Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has never been afraid to admit he&x27;s a football fan.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has never been afraid to admit he's a football fan. Regardless of how competitive he is on the field, whether it's in practice or during games, Daniels appreciates the greatness of other players, specifically quarterbacks.

In his rookie season, Daniels dueled with NFL stars such as Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow, and afterward, showed his respect to those players. Unfortunately, Daniels' 2025 season didn't go as planned, for him or the Commanders.

Daniels missed 10 games last season and only played in four from start to finish. One of the games he missed was in Week 8, when Washington was on the road for a highly anticipated Monday night showdown against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Marcus Mariota started for the Commanders, completing 21 of 30 passes for 213 yards, but it wasn't enough, as the Chiefs topped Washington 28-7. The Commanders' struggling defense did intercept Mahomes twice, and the game was tied 7-7 at halftime.

But in the third quarter, Mahomes began doing Mahomes-type things. And as seen on the Netflix series "Quarterback," Daniels was impressed.

"Let me go watch Mr. Mahomes throw the football," Daniels said.

And after Mahomes escaped pressure in the backfield and then completed a pass downfield for a first down, Daniels couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"How do you find that? He just made up some s--t."

After a Mahomes touchdown pass to Travis Kelce, Daniels said the following.

"Man, I wish I was playing this game. I'm trying to take this off the list."

That was what Daniels said while he was mic'd up on the sideline. In an interview for the Netflix series, he just let it be known that he appreciates high-level quarterback play.

"I appreciate.....just great QB play," he said. "It's an art."

After more Mahomes magic, Daniels had a simple three-word response on what he was seeing.

"He good, bro."

Daniels then reiterated that to Netflix producers. "No glaze, like Patrick Mahomes is good at football."

He's correct.

Sadly, the 2026 season was as disappointing for Mahomes as it was for Daniels. The Chiefs missed the playoffs for the first time since 2014, and Mahomes tore his ACL in a Week 14 loss. Kansas City finished 6-11.

Daniels is 100% healthy and ready for redemption in 2026. Mahomes is still recovering from knee surgery, with the goal of being ready for Week 1. Unfortunately, these teams will not face one another in 2026.

As large companies increasingly turn to AI to maximize efficiencies, people across industries are being forced to integrate the tech into their daily duties (if they’re not being edged out of their roles completely).

But, not everyone is taking the switch lying down, especially as certain programs continue to show their flaws.

Though the artificial intelligence takeover has impacted certain sects of desk workers the most (apologies, junior professionals), automation has also made its way onto American warehouse floors, where some staff are finding their new computer coworkers to be more of a hindrance than a help, at times.

Amazon (AMZN:NASDAQ), the world’s largest company by revenue (1) as of this year, is one of those who has taken a tip from Chinese factories by introducing new AI systems to help manage staff in some of its vast facilities. But, internal documents from early in a pilot phase showed that human managers were regularly intervening, whether by ignoring the software’s suggestions, finding “loopholes” around its requests or shutting down certain components altogether when they believed they knew better.

Memos and conversations acquired by Business Insider (2) discuss the early difficulties of rolling out the new workplace features, which were being tested to improve the ecommerce giant’s supply chain as consumer demand — especially for speedy fulfillment (3) — grows.

Executives wrote that offering best practices for how managers should use the algorithmic guidance was proving “insufficient” and the impacts of the new tech, hard to measure, as management wasn’t following its recommendations.

“Without system-enforced guardrails, manual overrides and habits erode even the best science,” one memo stated. As a result, a primary objective identified for this year was “hard” enforcement.

Documents portray an incomplete picture of ongoing development

An Amazon spokesperson, though, tells Moneywise that these leaked files depict an “incomplete picture” of the company’s plans and the many phases these new features will go through.

“Managers still make decisions — this technology simply gives them better information to make those decisions, and frees up more time they can spend supporting their teams,” the representative said. “As with all new systems, we continuously iterate on the logic — it takes time, testing and iteration to get there, which is why it’s inappropriate to draw broad conclusions during initial testing phases.”

A press release (4) about the new mechanisms similarly stated that the “magic” of them is “a thoughtful approach that pairs automation with human judgment — not one that replaces it.”

The ongoing battle — AI as a complement or a replacement?

While the software and its implementation has changed since initial testing phases, Slack messages from those days show some warehouse managers asking higher-ups to “please turn [the application] off now and [that they will] explain” or to “disable the system until it gets fixed.”

As many CEOs would remind us, computer codes can not replace innately human traits, including soft skills like communication, the ability to synthesize information and understanding context and real-world applicability. While robots can surely move large amounts of product around immense hubs with ease, they may never be able to respond in real time to complex, multi-factored human situations.

In the Amazon case, employees appeared to voice frustrations about the software’s inability to consider individual workers’ strengths and weaknesses (“6 foot three Henry that weighs 250 pounds is way better at chasing than 67-year old Henrietta that weighs under 100 pounds,” one staffer wrote on Slack (2)) among other day-to-day nuances.

The Amazon spokesperson told Moneywise that these anecdotal observations, which came from “a handful of managers” took place while staff were still getting used to the programs, and were used to inform adoption going forward.

“They don’t reflect how the system operates today,” they added, noting that the ultimate goal of the tech is to “drive consistency in how managers shift staffing based on real time needs, not to limit or remove manager’s judgment or involvement.”

Future plans for AI automation in its warehouses will be contingent upon each facility’s unique needs.

“We’re being deliberate about where this technology makes the most sense and making adjustments before choosing to scale,” they said.

Airlines say permanent daylight saving time won&x27;t be simple Megan CerulloThu, July 16, 2026 at 7:32 PM UTC 1 With a bill to make daylight saving time permanent moving through Congress, airlines are warning that permanently changing the nation&x27;s clocks could take years to implement and require costly operational changes.

Airlines say permanent daylight saving time won't be simple

Megan CerulloThu, July 16, 2026 at 7:32 PM UTC

With a bill to make daylight saving time permanent moving through Congress, airlines are warning that permanently changing the nation's clocks could take years to implement and require costly operational changes.

Daylight saving time is one step closer to becoming the year-round standard after the House voted in favor of a bill that would keep clocks permanently shifted ahead. The legislation now heads to the Senate, where it must pass before it would land on President Trump's desk for his signature. Its future remains up in the air.

Advocates for the bill say making DST permanent would reduce energy use because the sun would set later in the winter, while detractors say it could create more cold, dark mornings and lead to negative health outcomes.

The aviation industry says permanent DST would be very disruptive to the sector, requiring up to 24 months to adjust airlines' scheduling systems. The change would impact everything from "crew and aircraft positioning" to "domestic and international connectivity issues," according to Airlines for America, or A4A, the trade association representing leading carriers.

"Airlines operate expansive interconnected domestic and global networks that are reliant on stability and predictability. Any changes would need an implementation timeline that reflects these global complications," the group said.

Other businesses that depend on consistent scheduling, such as trucking and railroad companies, would also require time to adjust, experts say.

In a statement to CBS News, A4A said that if the bill becomes law, lawmakers "should allow for a significant amount of time to adjust airline schedules, websites, reservation systems, crew scheduling, payroll and the implementation of IT fixes both at the air carriers and any impacted vendors prior to implementation of DST changes."

Business challenges

The aviation industry is unique given its reliance on complex scheduling, and for the fact that tickets can be reserved well in advance of the date of travel, said aviation industry analyst Henry Harteveldt, founder of Atmosphere Research Group.

Trucking and railroad companies, which are also timetable dependent, will have to make significant operational changes if the bill becomes law, Harteveldt added.

"They would all have to make changes to their software programs if we abandon the practice of daylight saving time," he said.

But, he added, airlines may only require six months to a year to adjust, rather than up to two years.

"There are a lot of different software systems that may need to be reprogrammed within an airline, including reservation, crew scheduling and maintenance, which will have to be adjusted," he said. "But I don't think it's going to be a two-year time frame. That seems extreme."

He said the twice-yearly clock changes already illustrate how even minor disruptions can affect daily routines. "And though under normal circumstances airlines send out emails and text alerts, and make announcements, passengers show up for flights at the wrong time," he said.

A First Look at Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Next BookMichael Buckner/James Iacobelli

After finishing her 2025 novel Atmosphere, Taylor Jenkins Reid really thought she was done for a while. The book, about the love between two astronauts in the ’80s, became a blockbuster hit (as had Daisy Jones & the Six, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Carrie Soto Is Back, and other Reid titles), and Reid had poured a great deal of herself into it. Taking some quiet time felt sensible. “I was really creatively spent,” she tells ELLE in an exclusive interview. “I felt like I left it all out on the dance floor. I remember my agent saying, ‘Do you have anything?’ And me saying, ‘Nope, I don’t. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’m still thinking about [Atmosphere characters] Joan and Vanessa. I have nothing. Let me think and I’ll get back to you if I have anything, but don’t hold your breath.’”

It was in the shower, where her best thoughts occur, that a new idea finally came to Reid: “I just went, ‘Pool hustlers,’” she says. “For me, the question of whether to write a story or not is always this question of, ‘Do I see it?’ And I just saw it.” That vague image of pool hustlers eventually grew into the premise for her new novel, The Last Days of Vic & Coco, out March 2, 2027.

As Reid puts it, the story is about “two female pool hustlers on the road in the 1970s, tricking men out of their money. And in the summer of 1974, for reasons that will be revealed, they settle down in a small town called Canyonville, Arizona. And when they do, Vic starts to fall in love and Coco starts lying about exactly what she’s up to. And both of those things are going to send them on a collision course to realize that the gambit is up and they can’t continue this way any further.”

Reid admits she’d never before considered writing about pool, but she thanks her agent for drawing the game out of the depths of her mind. She explains: “I emailed my agent [when I had the idea] and was like, ‘Pool hustlers?’ That’s when I remembered—but maybe heard for the first time—that my agent is a nationally ranked pool player. I must have been told at some point and it was just living in my subconscious, but I forgot.” (This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened. Reid’s 2021 book Malibu Rising was about surfing in the ’80s. When she shared the idea, her manager reminded her that he had been a surfer in ’80s California.)

Reid has written books about astronauts, rock stars, surfers, and Golden Age actresses, but they all share a narrative thread. “I recognize this is going to sound cheesy: On some level, I do feel like these stories choose me,” she says. “I don’t have a choice. The pool hustlers idea comes to me, I go, ‘I have to write it. Whether anybody likes it or not, I have to write it.’”

Below, Reid shares further insights on the making of Vic & Coco—and reveals the cover design from James Iacobelli.

Courtesy of Atria BooksOn what she’s waited years to write about

What I saw [when I started writing] was that The Last Days of Vic & Coco was going to afford me the opportunity to do something that I’ve wanted to do my entire career. On some level, I have always known I will not be done [with my career] if I have not written at least one story about it. Finally, here was my moment to do it—and that is female friendship, the specific way that women platonically love one another and the devastation that only friendship can bring to somebody’s heart.

On the friendships that inspired Vic & Coco

I’ve been really blessed by having so many women in my life who feel like another part of my soul. They feel necessary for me to continue living. But those friendships are never simple. [In high school] I had a massive, massive crush on this boy named Colin. And one night we’re all at a party, and I see my friend Ashley and Colin talking, and I go, ‘Oh God, he loves her. He is not interested in me. He loves her.’ They are married now.

I talk to them every day; they are my best friends in the world. But Ashley was my friend, and she ended up with the boy that I was madly in love with, and I was beside myself. But you get over it because the friendship’s worth it. We look back on it now and laugh because Colin’s like a brother to me and the idea that I had a crush on him is absurd and he’s so clearly supposed to be with Ashley. But there are a lot of girls at 17 years old who don’t get over that. Ashley and I figured it out because of the depth of our love for each other. It’s a very long relationship that has lasted nearly a lifetime, and it was worth figuring out.

On the Vic & Coco cover

I’m not a visual thinker, so I never know what [cover designers] are going to come up with. [The publisher, Atria Books] sent two cover options and one of them is the image that stayed. They got it. They knew the vibe that we were going for and all we were doing was tweaking the font. For me to know that the cover so quickly captures what I was going for makes me feel like I did my job. I feel very heard and understood.

On her research process

I knew that I had a choice going down a rabbit hole of different pool players and the history of pool and the specifics. I’ve written books in the past where I learned absolutely everything about the topic. And for this book, I went, ‘I don’t think you’re reading this [to learn about pool]. You’re reading this book because you want to hang out in a dive bar in the 1970s in the desert with Vic and Coco.’

This interview has been edited and condensed.

Zendaya wore a vintage Zuhair Murad Spring 2013 couture look for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

The gold brocade ensemble featured a plunging peplum blazer and coordinating thigh-high slit skirt.

The gilded look continues the actress’s Greek mythology-inspiredpress tour wardrobe for The Odyssey.

If there’s one celebrity who never misses an opportunity to commit to a theme, it’s Zendaya. Every press tour from the Emmy Award-winning actress has delivered plenty for fashion lovers to dissect, and The Odyssey has taken things to new heights—Mount Olympus, if you will. After stepping onto the New York premiere carpet in angel wings on July 14, she kept the mythological momentum going with another gold-clad look that felt fit for a goddess.

For her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on July 15, Zendaya and her longtime stylist, Law Roach, reached into the archives, selecting a vintage Zuhair Murad couture ensemble from the designer’s Spring 2013 collection.

The look felt right at home on this press tour, adding to her incredible roster of recent looks that have left us mere mortals entranced.

Rather than opting for a traditional gown, Zendaya wore a coordinating gold brocade jacket and matching maxi skirt. The jacket featured a plunging neckline and a sculpted peplum waist that created a beautifully defined silhouette, while intricate metallic embroidery gave the look its rich, armor-like finish. The coordinating skirt featured a thigh-high slit.

Roach kept the styling monochromatic, letting the couture do the talking. She accessorized with a gold Rolex watch and Tiffany & Co. HardWear earrings. It wouldn’t be a Zendaya look without her go-to Christian Louboutin pumps, which she picked out in a metallic gold hue.

She wore her hair down in loose waves and kept her makeup looking glowy and bronzed to add to her ethereal appearance.

The outfit was another clever nod to The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s ancient epic, in which Zendaya stars as Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war. The film hits theaters on Friday, July 17.

A collectible coin in the shape of the Liberty Bell priced at nearly $20,000 was released Thursday, July 16, by the U.S. Mint.

The pieces are the first nonround coin released in recent U.S. history, according to the Mint.

US Mint releases bell-shaped America 250 coin, priced north of $19,000

Nicole Fallert, USA TODAYThu, July 16, 2026 at 5:29 PM UTC

This isn't your average pocket change.

A collectible coin in the shape of the Liberty Bell priced at nearly $20,000 was released Thursday, July 16, by the U.S. Mint. Two cheaper versions, the half-ounce gold coin ($10,050) and the half-ounce silver medal ($750), were released as well.

The pieces are the first non-round coin released in recent U.S. history, according to the Mint. The coins were released in a limited quantity (2,026 of each variation) due to the "high level of detail and precision required to produce each coin," the Mint notes.

Less than an hour after their release at 12 p.m. ET, all three coins were listed as "currently unavailable" on the Mint website. USA TODAY has reached out to the Mint for more information.

List of Liberty Bell America 250 coins

Here are the three commemorative products made available July 16 by the Mint, all in the shape of the Liberty Bell:

1-ounce gold coin ($19,600)

Half-ounce gold coin ($10,050)

Half-ounce silver medal ($750)

A distinct design

The non-round coin is "uniquely-minted" for 2026, according to the U.S. Mint, as part of the nation's 250th anniversary celebration. The semiquincentennial edition features the Liberty Bell on one side with the words "Liberty," and Independence Hall on the reverse side, bearing the words "In God we trust." It also features the years 1776 to 2026 to mark the nation's special birthday.

The composition of the 1-ounce gold coin is 99.99% gold and is 0.167 inches thick with smooth edges, according to the Mint's posting.

"Years of planning and innovation have culminated in this unique coin," the Mint website reads.

Member of coin advisory committee says design should've gotten congressional review

Donald Scarinci, the longest-serving current member of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee, which advises the Secretary of the Treasury on coin and bullion production and design, says the Liberty Bell-shaped coin design was never presented to the CCAC. This is a process that is required by law when making new coins, bullion or medals for commemoration, circulation or awards.

"Congress should review how this coin came to exist," Scarinci told USA TODAY. "It is a complete mystery to the members of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. We saw this product along with the rest of the public for the first time when the Mint's press release was published. Not even the concept of this coin had ever been discussed with us. "

USA TODAY has reached out to the U.S. Department of the Treasury for comment.

Liberty Bell coins are 'speculative asset'

These coins are part of three limited batches: Only 2,026 of each variation were produced. The U.S. Mint website says the scarcity of the special coin is due in part to the process of making such a distinctive design.

"Owing to the high level of detail and precision required to produce each coin, the Freedom Ringing – Liberty Bell Gold Coins were uniquely minted for 2026 in limited quantities," the U.S. Mint says on its posting of the coin.

It's an "speculative asset," says David Freund, professor of history at the University of Maryland. With the 1-ounce gold coin's high price tag of $19,600, "[no one] who purchases it is going to use it for spending," he says.

Given that the value of the coin won't be tied to an actual dollar value, it could be hard to predict how much it will be worth in the future.

"There's just no way to predict the future sales price of collectors' items," Freund says. "The value of these coins won't have any fixed relationship to the value of dollars issued into circulation by the U.S. government."

SpaceX stock loses more altitude with Starship set for test flight: What Wall Street is saying Brian SozziThu, July 16, 2026 at 5:56 PM UTC 0 SpaceX (SPCX) stock has lost more than a little altitude.

SpaceX stock loses more altitude with Starship set for test flight: What Wall Street is saying

Brian SozziThu, July 16, 2026 at 5:56 PM UTC

SpaceX (SPCX) stock has lost more than a little altitude.

After a record-setting public listing, SpaceX shares are dipping further below their $135 IPO price. The stock fell for a fifth straight session on Thursday to $133.32. It first dropped below the IPO price on Wednesday, a blow in the wake of the company's blockbuster Nasdaq debut last month.

The five-day losing streak reveals a critical reality: The initial retail investor euphoria has evaporated more quickly than anyone on the underwriting team was prepared to admit publicly.

What makes this especially uncomfortable is twofold.

One: SpaceX has its 13th Starship test flight scheduled for later today — a moment that should generate the kind of headline-grabbing excitement that sends the stock higher.

"Given the highprofile nature of the event and Starship's importance to the company's long-term plans, we could see the stock move, with the direction depending on the outcome of the test," said JPMorgan analyst Seth Seifman ahead of the launch.

Instead, the market is yawning.

This is about the worst possible signal for a company whose entire valuation is built on an audacious, expensive, long-term vision that requires the investors to buy in unconditionally.

And two, a series of restrictions on additional stock sales by insiders, employees, and early investors will lift over the next several months — and potentially pressure the stock further.

Rank-and-file employees and some early investors will be able to unload 911.5 million ⁠shares on the second trading day after the company's first quarterly report. SpaceX hasn't disclosed its earnings date yet, but it's expected in August.

Amid the sell-off, Yahoo Finance chatted up SpaceX believers on Opening Bid to see if the slide has dented their confidence in the company and CEO Elon Musk.

"I think it just comes down to a name like SpaceX, they're going to be central to this broader theme that we see in terms of the AI revolution … it's betting on Musk. It's betting on Musk as much as it is SpaceX. I think that's what so many investors are doing," said Yorkville Ives & Co. partner Dan Ives.

"I do think that this is a stock you're buying for the next three to five to 10 years. It's in our thematic portfolio, which has a focus on space. So I, I just view this [pullback] as an opportunity. We've added to it as it's gone down, and we will continue to do so," said Nancy Tengler of Laffer Tengler Investment.

"I think it is a bet on Elon. And that's been a pretty good bet in the past. He has described himself as programmed for war. And he frequently teeters on the edge of disaster and pulls back just in time. So I'm long-term optimistic," she added.
