See it: NFL legend Tom Brady delivers heartfelt message to Cam Ward
Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward was one of several high-profile rookies who were recently on the receiving end of a gift from Fanatics via NFL legends, coupled with an emotional and heartfelt message to each player. Future Hall of Famer Tom Brady personally greeted Ward into the league by telling him, 'You're going to grow in ways you couldn't even imagine, and I'm going to be watching, and I'm going to be pulling for you.' The message from Brady hit home, with Ward responding, 'That's crazy, for the greatest player of all time to send me a video like that.' As the video closed, Ward ended with a message that all Titans fans hope becomes reality by saying, 'I'm ready for the challenge.' After receiving the video, Ward was gifted a signed and personalized jersey from Brady. Ward wasn't the only player associated with the Titans to be involved with this promotion from Fanatics. Former Titans' great Eddie George welcomed New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo with a personal message and signed jersey. He told Skattebo, "Begin this journey with the end in mind and you'll be just fine, my man."

What to Watch Ahead of Disney Q3 Earnings
Disney (NYSE:DIS) reports third-quarter results for fiscal 2025 before the market opens on August 6. Consensus estimates call for adjusted EPS of approximately $1.45 on revenue of $23.7 billion, implying modest 2% top-line growth YoY. The stock is up 4% year-to-date and trades roughly 7% below its 52-week high of $124.70. Investor attention will focus on direct-to-consumer (DTC) margins and subscriber momentum. In Q2, Disney's DTC segment generated $336 million in operating income, up from $47 million a year earlier and added 1.4 million Disney+ subscribers. Subscriber stability and continued margin expansion will be key focus areas, as investors assess whether Disney's cost discipline is translating into lasting DTC profitability. The Experiences segment (theme parks and cruises) continues to perform well. Q2 experiences operating income rose 8% YoY to $2.5 billion, with investors assessing whether gating capacity or rising costs could pressure margins in Q3. Investors may also listen for commentary on recent releases such as Snow White and Fantastic Four, as sentiment around Disney's film strategy has been mixed and studio margins remain under pressure. With forward guidance unchanged ($5.75 adjusted EPS full year) and streaming margins expected to contribute more in H2, Disney's Q3 commentary will be critical. Management will need to demonstrate both streaming discipline and theme park profitability to support the current valuation. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
