The Seattle Seahawks will host the New England Patriots at Lumen Field on September 9, 2026, in the first big NFL game of the 2026 season. The game will start at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. A lot of fans ask this question every summer, and the answer is simple. But this year, the opening nite has a little more weight than usual. One thing is that it’s Wednesday. In 2012, that didn’t happen again, and it still seems a little off, like when a holiday falls on a strange day of the week. The NFL usually starts…

Born in Kansas City, Sierra Foster writes about politics and serves as Senior Editor at kbsd6.com. She was raised paying attention to this city, not just living in it. Sierra has a strong, deep connection to Kansas City, from the neighborhoods east of Troost to the discussions that take place in the city hall halls. Sierra, who is presently enrolled at the University of Kansas to pursue a degree in Political Science, applies the rigor of academic study to her journalism. She writes about politics in Missouri and Kansas as someone who genuinely cares about what happens to the people in these communities—the policies that impact them, the leaders who represent them, and the civic forces influencing their futures—rather than as an outsider watching from a distance. Her editorial coverage encompasses state-level policy, local government, and the national political currents that permeate bi-state regional life. Whether it's a city council vote or a Senate race, she has a special gift for turning complex policy language into writing that feels urgent, relatable, and worthwhile. Sierra seldom sits still off the page. She claims that playing soccer on a regular basis has sharpened her instincts for political reporting because of the sport's teamwork, strategy, and requirement to read a changing game in real time. She's probably somewhere in Kansas City with her friends when she's not writing or on the pitch, discovering new reasons to adore a city she already knows so well.
What took place at the Grand Canyon over the weekend was especially cruel. Flash floods happen here all the time, so it wasn’t the flooding itself that was strange. A $200 million project was well under way to finally fix the canyon’s old water pipeline that keeps breaking. It had been planned by engineers for more than ten years. The money had been arranged. The work began in 2023. Then, over one weekend in late August, floodwaters ripped through Bright Angel Canyon and dammed up about 40% of the Transcanyon Waterline, according to the park. Millions of people visit the…
When Peyton List enters a scene in Cobra Kai, something clicks. It’s the bodily confidence, not simply the performance. You forget you’re watching someone perform because of the ease with which she conducts herself. Then, almost unconsciously, you begin to wonder: Just how tall is she? Depending on the day and the reliable source, the answer is 5 feet 6 inches, or around 1.69 to 1.70 meters. That’s a really good number for Hollywood; it’s neither exceptionally tall nor dramatically small. Just in balance. Additionally, that kind of middle-ground height tends to work in an actress’s advantage in a company…
The amount of attention Tanner Buchanan’s height receives is quite fascinating. It might seem like an odd obsession for an actor best known for ducking punches and kicking Cobra Kai. However, if you spend five minutes in any fan forum or show-related comment area, you’ll notice that the query, “Just how tall is this guy?” appears surprisingly frequently. In a nutshell, it’s between five feet six and five feet eight inches. The majority of publications place his height as 5’7″ or 5’8″, which puts him comfortably in the average to slightly over average range for American men. Even cast jokes…
Oona O’Brien portrays Devon Lee, a new member of Johnny Lawrence’s Eagle Fang dojo who joins Cobra Kai in Season 4. When O’Brien joined the cast, Netflix labeled her as a 16-year-old actor, placing her in close proximity to the teenage role she was playing at the time. Devon is typically thought to be between 17 and 18 years old by the later seasons. Viewers must infer her age from the school setting, relationships, tournament schedule, and the ages of the other young characters because the show does not consistently reveal her exact age. The question is intriguing in part…
One of those movie facts that gets more unexpected the more you consider it is the age of Ralph Macchio in Karate Kid 3. While filming The Karate Kid Part III, Macchio was 27 years old; he turned 28 during that time. However, he continued to play Daniel LaRusso on film, a character who was supposed to be around 19. When watching the film, it’s easy to overlook the age difference. Macchio’s youthful appearance contributed to the illusion, as he had already spent years associating himself with Daniel. Daniel still looked convincing enough to be a teenager when he stepped…
On September 11, 2024, Chad McQueen passed away at his ranch in Palm Desert, California. He was sixty-three. Organ failure, which resulted from a fall in 2020 from which Chad never fully recovered, was the cause of death, according to his longtime lawyer and friend Arthur Barens. When he died, his wife Jeanie and their kids were all around him. There are still numerous unanswered questions about the 2020 fall. Chad “never fully recovered from” the injuries, according to Barens, who would not elaborate on the specifics. What is known is that the harm it inflicted gradually worsened over the…
A working-class family from the Bronx or South Queens drives past the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, looks over at the crowds coming in, and keeps driving. This is a New York moment that doesn’t get talked about enough. It’s not because they don’t care about tennis. But because a Main Draw seat at Arthur Ashe Stadium can cost hundreds of dollars, and most people can’t afford that. In this context, Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani and the US Tennis Association announced that 1,000 $100 tickets to the 2026 US Open would be made available to residents…
Certain types of anger happen when you realize that you probably paid more for something than you should have, and the company knew it at the time. That’s pretty much the basis of a class action suit against Sony Interactive Entertainment. The case, called Caccuri v. Sony Interactive Entertainment, says that Sony quietly got rid of a way for PlayStation owners to buy digital games from other online stores by ending vouchers that were specific to games. When those coupons ran out, customers were forced to go to the PlayStation Store, which is Sony’s own market, because there was no…
There’s something almost theatrical about seeing a politician sue to stop a law that he pushed for in public. You can kind of picture Zohran Mamdani right now: he’s the new mayor of New York City and he’s suing his own city council over a pay raise for school paraprofessionals worth $25 billion. The same pay raise he backed as a candidate not long ago. The Zohran Mamdani teachers union’s lawsuit is about a law that the city council passed unanimously that lets paraprofessionals (school staff who help teachers and students but don’t have teaching licenses) get one-time cash payments.…
