Bally Resort 2026 Is a Timeless Act
Ballyis currently without a creative director, following the departure of designerSimone Bellotti, who switched over toJil Sanderin March. The Swiss label has yet to name a new leader, but in the meantime, the brand's design team is cooking up collections on their own. EnterResort 2026, Bally's first collection in its post-Bellotti era.
The line, in the brand's words, 'crafts a dialogue between legacy and innovation with a contemporary expression of elegance.' That translates to a fine bunch of sharp formals, clean coats, smart shirting, and shiny leathers — many of which remix the brand's best hits — for men and women.
On a color palette fusing cream, deep navy, black, and warm brown, the collection boasts the sophisticated sensibilities for the office-goer and the jet-setter alike. Standout silhouettes include perforated bomber jackets, posh trench coats, logomanic silk sets, leather shorts, and cute knit sweaters featuring illustrations of squirrels.
Bally's Beckett and East Tote bags return in new buttery textiles, while archival sneaker models, like the Competition model (first introduced in 1983), make a comeback for the contemporary. Overall, this collection is a nod to Bally's rich archives, a reminder of the House's timeless codes in anticipation of its next era.

Jason Kelce Reflects on Retirement, Family and Lessons From His Mother
Jason Kelce Reflects on Retirement, Family and Lessons From His Mother originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce is fully embracing his retirement era, balancing his new ESPN career with family time and discovering what matters most in his post-NFL journey. The beloved center recently gave Eagles Today an exclusive glimpse into his Mother's Day celebrations and the values he hopes to pass down to his four daughters. Advertisement Fresh from a family-filled Mother's Day weekend, Kelce shared details with People magazine while attending the Amazon Upfront event in New York on Monday with brother Travis. The gathering brought together the extended Kelce clan for a celebration in Philadelphia that exemplified the close-knit family bonds Jason has always prioritized. "We had a whole crew in. We had a great brunch together, a day together," Kelce told Eagles Today. "It's special when we all get to get together. It's hard with everyone's schedules these days, but for all the girls and everybody, it was really a good day." For the Birds legend, these family moments take on new significance now that he's hung up his midnight green jersey. Without the rigorous demands of NFL training camp looming and game preparation consuming his schedule, Kelce is discovering the joy of uninterrupted family time. As he continues building his broadcasting career with Monday Night Football and growing the New Heights podcast empire alongside Travis, Kelce finds himself reflecting on the values that shaped his historic career in Philadelphia—values he hopes to instill in his four daughters: Wyatt (5), Elliotte (4), Bennett (2), and baby Finnley "Finn" Anne, who joined the family in March. Advertisement "The thing that I would love most to instill in my kids is my mom's work ethic and her dedication and sacrifice," Kelce explained. "Growing up, you don't realize everything your mom is doing. But looking back, she was working full-time while handling all the household responsibilities and making sure we had opportunities to achieve our dreams." The future Hall of Famer's appreciation for Donna Kelce's example has only deepened with time. "That work ethic and sacrifice made her life amazingly successful," he continued. "Those are the qualities I want my girls to understand and embrace." Kelce's retirement has allowed him to fully appreciate the family foundation that supported his extraordinary career with the Eagles. The six-time All-Pro center is finding that away from the football field, he can focus on creating the same supportive environment for his growing family. While fans miss seeing #62 anchoring the offensive line at Lincoln Financial Field, they'll be happy to know Kelce isn't straying far from his Philadelphia roots this summer. "We're going to be down the shore a lot this year, which we're looking forward to," he shared, maintaining the South Jersey summer tradition beloved by so many Eagles fans. Advertisement Kelce continues embodying the blue-collar values that made him a Philadelphia icon. His focus on family, hard work, and enjoying life's simpler pleasures resonates with the Eagles faithful who watched him give everything to the franchise for 13 remarkable seasons.

Spar Group Ltd (JSE:SPP) (H1 2025) Earnings Call Highlights: Strategic Exits and Operational ...
Release Date: June 04, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Spar Group Ltd (JSE:SPP) reported a 5.5% increase in operating profit in Southern Africa, demonstrating effective cost discipline and margin management. The company successfully exited its operations in Poland, Switzerland, and the UK, aligning with its strategy to focus on core high-return markets. Gross margin improved to 10.7%, driven by better product mix, enhanced procurement, and tight promotional management. Cash generated from operations was strong at 1.4 billion rand, with net debt decreasing and leverage well within covenant limits. The company is making significant progress with its SAP rollout, which is expected to enhance operational efficiency and margin optimization. Sales growth was below expectations, with Southern Africa experiencing specific softness in inland regions and Ireland facing modest sales declines. The company faced challenges from macroeconomic volatility, cybersecurity risks, and shifts in consumer behavior. The Swiss and UK operations were classified as discontinued, with significant impairments recognized, impacting overall financial performance. The timing of Easter negatively affected sales growth in both Southern Africa and Ireland. The company is operating in a challenging environment with high unemployment and cost of living pressures affecting consumer spending. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with JSE:SPP. Q: Can you provide any updates on the Switzerland business, including who you are in talks with and the timing of the potential sale? A: We are in an exclusive process regarding the Switzerland business, and it's a sensitive stage, so we can't comment further. Our priority is to ensure the best outcome for our employees, retailers, and suppliers, ensuring a sustainable business post-sale. (Respondent: Unidentified_4) Q: Why did the Swiss business move into an operating loss so quickly, and why was this not guided? A: The loss in Switzerland was primarily due to a cyberattack. We didn't guide specifically on this as Switzerland is a small portion of the group and not deemed material for specific guidance in trading updates. (Respondent: Unidentified_4) Q: What is the outlook for South Africa's growth and operating margins for the full year, given the weak revenue growth momentum? A: Post-period sales have improved, though not to desired levels. We expect to maintain our previous guidance of a 2.1% to 2.3% operating margin for the full year, likely towards the lower end of that range. (Respondent: Unidentified_1) Q: Can you update us on the Janooppoulos litigation process, and have you made any provision in the accounts for a potential settlement? A: There has been no movement on the Janooppoulos matter since our last update. We are awaiting the discovery phase, and no provision has been made for a settlement at this stage. (Respondent: Unidentified_1) Q: Do you think Spar can reduce net debt for the full year, assuming disposals are not finalized by year-end? A: Our gearing is essentially flat compared to last year, despite taking on Polish debt. This demonstrates the cash generation ability of the SA business, and we are confident in reducing gearing regardless of the disposals. (Respondent: Unidentified_2) Q: What was the wholesale internal inflation for the H1 period, and what was it post-period? A: For the first six months, wholesale internal inflation was about 2.8% for groceries and liquor, and about 3.5% for Build it. (Respondent: Unidentified_2) Q: You mentioned a trajectory towards achieving a 3% margin in SA. What is the timeframe for this, and is the target for the entire SA business or just the wholesale grocery segment? A: We expect to operate within the 2.1% to 2.3% range for the full year. Achieving a 3% margin in the second half of next year is possible but will require accelerated sales momentum. The 3% target is for the entire SA business, not just the grocery segment. (Respondent: Unidentified_1) Q: Are you seeing loyalty levels increasing or remaining flat post-year-end? A: Loyalty levels have shown a slight increase in the short term, but they are roughly flat over the full financial year.

Column: Jerry Reinsdorf's clumsy handoff of the Chicago White Sox only adds to his checkered baseball legacy
If only Jerry Reinsdorf took the lead of former President Richard Nixon, who said goodbye to the media in 1962 after losing the California gubernatorial race. 'I leave you gentlemen now, and you will write it,' Nixon said. 'You will interpret. That's your right. But as I leave you I want you to know — just think how much you're going to be missing. You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore, because gentlemen, this is my last press conference.' It wasn't true, of course, for Nixon. For Reinsdorf? Who knows? Reinsdorf issued a statement Thursday revealing a 'long-term' plan to sell the White Sox to limited partner Justin Ishbia. The statement confirmed a February report by The Athletic's Jon Greenberg that said Ishbia, who had pulled out of a bid for the Minnesota Twins, did so in order to eventually take control of the Sox from Reinsdorf. The report was greeted with the usual denials from the Sox, who said Reinsdorf would remain in charge until he decided otherwise, and Ishbia's purchase of shares did 'not provide a path to control' of the team.' USA Today reported in April that Reinsdorf 'has made it perfectly clear to friends that he has zero interest in selling as long as he remains in good health.' For reasons unknown, Reinsdorf reversed course two months into another disastrous season and disclosed that path Thursday in clear language that could not have been more confusing. And as it turns out, Sox fans will still be able to kick Reinsdorf around for four more years … or perhaps another nine years. Or maybe not at all. It might be. It could be. But is it? It all depends on whether he exercises his option to sell to Ishbia between 2029 and 2033 and whether Ishbia opts to buy in '34 if Reinsdorf remains in control, assuming the billionaire still thinks it's worthwhile to own a Major League Baseball team. The Sox statement said there is 'no assurance that any such future transaction will occur,' and certainly not until 2029 at least. That didn't stop the countdown to the post-Reinsdorf era, which began Thursday with the Sox's 3-2, 10-inning win over the Detroit Tigers at Sox Park. Sure, we don't know when we're counting down to, but at least there is a 'long-term investment agreement,' which should at least change the 'Sell the team' chants to 'Hurry up and exercise the sell option.' The Sox rebuild theoretically should be done by the time the deal is done, although the possibility exists they will be on their third rebuild since 2016. Without any real information, we only can speculate that the new dream stadium at The 78 will be Ishbia's Great White Whale now. The Sox said he would be making 'capital infusions' in 2025 and '26 that will 'pay down existing debt and support ongoing team operations.' That probably doesn't include the ongoing operation to solve the mystery of the gunshots in the bleachers in 2023. Ishbia isn't a miracle worker, OK? Efforts to contact general manager Chris Getz to find out whether these 'capital infusions' will increase the team's 29th-ranked payroll and give him a fighting chance to compete were fruitless. No response, though he could've changed his number. Getz told me before Monday's game he would be talking with the media Friday, which gave him four days to rehearse. Will Ishbia be the anti-Reinsdorf? It's wishful thinking to believe Ishbia would pony up for free agent Kyle Tucker this winter if he can't take real control until 2029. But it's still legal to dream, or at least it was when this story went to print Thursday night. I have plenty of unsolicited ideas for Ishbia that he can ignore, but I'll keep it to myself for now and focus on Reinsdorf's checkered baseball legacy, which is still in progress two months in his 45th season. Barring a huge infusion of money to sign big-name free agents between this winter and 2029 or thereabouts, Reinsdorf will wind up with one title in nearly five decades, as well as a new stadium he didn't pay for, no longer wants and only got after threatening to move the team to Florida. He was a leading hawk among owners — along with Tribune Co. — when they tried to implement a salary cap in 1994, which led to a players strike and his old pal, Bud Selig, canceling the end of the season with the Sox in first place. He signed off on the 'White Flag Trade' with the Sox 3½ games back in July 1997, approved the signing of misanthropic slugger Albert Belle and allowed former GM Rick Hahn to trade Fernando Tatis Jr. for James Shields. Reinsdorf and co-owner Eddie Einhorn took the Sox off free TV before most of the city was wired for cable, and he also started his own TV network last year without a deal with the biggest cable provider, Comcast. Amazingly, that reportedly changed Thursday, and Sox fans soon can pay Comcast $20 more per month to watch them lose 100-plus games on the 'Ultimate Tier,' which no doubt will be the 'Ultimate Platinum Tier' in a few years. Reinsdorf also has done some good things, such as hiring Ozzie Guillen as manager and later letting him roast Grifol as a Sox studio analyst. He gave us Steve Stone 2.0, signed Carlton Fisk and introduced the Campfire Milkshake. He kept head groundskeeper Roger 'the Sodfather' Bossard around to make the field look great all these years and was a loyal boss to hundreds of team employees over the decades. And during a 7½-hour rain delay of a postponed game against the Texas Rangers at old Comiskey Park in 1990, he offered free food and pop to the fans who stuck it out. He was a sports writer's dream with his penchant for saying whatever popped into his head — until his advisers told him to clam up years ago. But rest assured there will be no farewell party for the Chairman from Sox fans, either in '29 or whenever it actually happens. The Sox remain one of only two teams, along with the A's, that has never signed a player to a $100 million deal. Ishbia's first task will be to fix the team's hard-earned reputation as cheapskates and then to compete with the Cubs for Millennial and Gen Z fans who might want an alternative to the Ricketts machine. Reinsdorf will be 98 by 2034, which is so far in the future we're not sure there will be a future for him or for any of us. It's hard to fathom where we'll be in nine years, just as it's difficult to remember what we were doing nine years ago in 2016. That was the season that went south so badly it led to the trade of ace Chris Sale to the Boston Red Sox to start a rebuild that was supposed to make the Sox the team of the 2020s. It didn't happen as planned, though the 2030s are suddenly looking a bit brighter. Reinsdorf's legacy also will be linked to his many GMs and managers, including Terry Bevington — the worst in Sox history — and current prospect whisperer Will Venable. Was it really five years ago that Reinsdorf hired his old pal, Tony La Russa, to take the Sox from Point B to Point C, then after one division title watched them go backward to Point A? It was definitely only last year that he let Grifol remain in the dugout despite evidence piling up right in front of his nose. Grifol declared 'you either have to score more than them or have them score less,' yet Reinsdorf still waited until August to let Getz pull the trigger. We'll save our farewells until later, but for now we wish Ishbia all the luck in the world when he takes over the Sox in 20-something. The clock is ticking.
