Texas QB Arch Manning goes viral after casually pulling up to a St. Louis neighborhood fans are calling 'the trenches'

If you logged onto Twitter this weekend and saw Arch Manning trending, it wasn't for a game-winning throw or some NIL stunt, it was because he pulled up deep in a St. Louis neighborhood, posed for photos with local kids, and instantly became the internet's new favorite quarterback.
No big cameras. No security swarm. Just Arch, looking like he wandered off the Texas team bus and into what some Twitter users jokingly dubbed 'the trenches.' And yes, the timeline had a lot to say.
Fans couldn't believe Arch Manning really stepped foot on 'Greer'
The moment started going viral after a photo of Arch with a couple of young fans. But it truly
took off
when people from St. Louis realized exactly where he was, 'Greer'. One user straight-up said,
'On GREER?!'
while another added,
'Ain't no way Ryan took him on the south side 😂😂😂.'
Cue the chaos. Some fans assumed Arch had wandered into the "hood" and were shocked he looked so calm. But others quickly pushed back with,
'Black neighborhood ≠ trenches,'
and
'Fun fact, not every Black neighborhood is the ghetto.'
'Arch is for the children' becomes the internet's new rally cry
Through all the jokes and memes, one line stood out:
'Arch is for the children.'
Whether he realized it or not, Manning made a big impression on young fans just by showing up and being chill. No ego, no flash, just a dude with quarterback talent, taking pics like it's no big deal.

It was a refreshing break from the usual college football image. For a guy with the Manning name, he looked more like someone's cool cousin than a blue-chip recruit and that's exactly why fans loved it.
Turns out, Arch wasn't just wandering through STL for fun. He and his Texas teammates including DeAndre Moore Jr. and Ryan Wingo were in town for a youth football camp, giving kids a chance to train with real Longhorns. So yeah, the viral photo was just a bonus.
The camp was a hit, and it showed that Arch isn't just showing up for headlines, he's showing up to actually be there for the next generation.
The Mannings have always been football royalty, but this weekend, Arch reminded us he's making his own path and it starts in the neighborhoods, not just on ESPN. Whether it was 'the trenches,' the 'Black side,' or just another street in St. Louis, one thing's clear: Arch showed up, showed love, and didn't flinch.

Will GTA 6 have multiple endings? (Here's why we think so)
(Image via Rockstar Games) GTA 6 is shaping up to be the most ambitious Rockstar game yet, and with two protagonists , fans are already cooking up wild theories. One of the hottest debates? Will GTA 6 have multiple endings for each character — Jason and Lucia? Here's what we know, what we expect, and what would just be next level if Rockstar actually pulls it off. Two Leads = Two Fates? GTA 6 is giving us Lucia Caminos, a former inmate who's not here to play games, and Jason Duval, a smooth ex-army dude with a sketchy past and soft spot for easy money. They're not just two sides of the same coin; they're wildly different people stuck in a high-stakes mess. That alone screams: "There's no way this ends the same for both." Think about it. In GTA 5, we had three characters and multiple endings based on your final choices. So it wouldn't be that wild if GTA 6 expanded on that idea, giving us different paths — maybe even different final missions — depending on who you play more, what choices you make, and how their relationship plays out. GTA 6 WILL PROBABLY HAVE 3 DIFFERENT ENDINGS !!! - GTA 6 NEWS TODAY What If You Have to Choose? Here's the spicy part. What if the game builds tension between Jason and Lucia until it boils over ? Like, maybe you have to choose who to side with in the end. Or worse… maybe one has to go. The trailers already hint that trust is shaky. 'If anything happens, I'm right behind you,' Jason says. But c'mon — in GTA, that could easily turn into a betrayal real quick. Rockstar loves gray morality. So, multiple endings where you pick who lives, who dies, or who takes the fall? Totally on-brand. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo GTA 6 Hidden Secrets – Multiple Endings & Expansions Explained! Rockstar Has the Tools, Do They Have the Will? Rockstar knows how to do this. They nailed the 'choice-based ending' thing back in GTA 5, and Red Dead Redemption 2 showed they can pull off emotional, complex storylines like it's nothing. So will GTA 6 give us multiple endings for Jason and Lucia? We don't know for sure, but the setup is too perfect for them not to. And honestly? We're here for it. Give us heartbreak, betrayal, wild choices, and everything in between. Just don't give us one boring 'The End' screen after 60 hours of chaos. We want options. We want consequences. We want to cry a little. Rockstar, don't let us down.

"Shane was clearly faster than me": Toyota's Christopher Bell opens up about coming short to SVG in Mexico City
Toyota's Christopher Bell opens up about coming short to SVG in Mexico City (Image Source: Getty) Christopher Bell came in second at the first NASCAR Cup Series race in Mexico City, but he admitted Shane van Gisbergen was better, saying, "When the race dried out, it was just a matter of comparing yourself to the guys up front. I got the lead at one point and Shane was clearly faster than me and drove back by. Yeah, close but not good enough. " Van Gisbergen won easily, and Bell is now thinking about how to get better. Christopher Bell says he needs to improve after SVG's win Shane van Gisbergen won the Viva Mexico 250 by a huge 16.5 seconds over Christopher Bell, leading 60 out of 100 laps. Bell, racing for Joe Gibbs Racing, started way back on the 31st because rain messed up qualifying. He worked hard to get to the front and even led for a bit, but van Gisbergen was just too fast, especially on the 15-turn, 2.4-mile track. Bell said he wasn't good enough to beat him and was disappointed with his form. Even though he lost, Bell was happy with some parts of his race. Rain early on helped him move up, and his team made a smart pit stop before a caution on lap 65, which got him to place second. Bell felt his car was only good for third, so second was a big deal. He wants to watch how van Gisbergen drives to learn and do better next time.

They also made a clever pit stop before the first stage ended, which helped him get better track position later. By the second stage, Bell was in second place behind van Gisbergen, showing his car was strong. But when the track dried, van Gisbergen pulled away after the last restart on lap 69. Bell said his Joe Gibbs Racing team always gives him great cars for road courses, and he has a 1.5 average finish in the first two road races this season. He plans to study van Gisbergen's driving to get better at certain parts of the track. With more races coming, Bell is focused on improving. The next race at Pocono Raceway is a chance to try again and fight for a win.
