Chris Russo reveals police were called on him during international travel meltdown: ‘What a disgrace!'
Everyone's got some nightmare travel stories, and for Chris Russo, he aired out his most recent disaster for more than 10 minutes straight during his 'What Are You Mad About?' segment of ESPN's 'First Take' on Wednesday. The man known as 'Mad Dog' took a recent vacation to Europe, which included a few fiascos, including one in which he had police called on him while he threw a rage fit in London. Russo's trip began with a JetBlue flight out of JFK en route to Edinburgh. 'You want to fly to Scranton, P.a.? Jet Blue is for you!' Russo yelled. 'You want to fly to something a little more elaborate like to freakin' Edinburgh? What a disgrace! They kept people on that plane 'til 1:44 in the morning and threw them the hell out of there!' Russo was headed to Dornach, Scotland, for some father-son golfing. Russo's son, Tim, had to go from Phoenix to Dallas to London to Inverness — and then drive to Dornach, Switzerland. Tim's golf clubs got a bit lost in the shuffle. 'It took me two and a half hours to locate the clubs at Heathrow. They didn't know where they were!' Russo ranted. 'My son needs the golf clubs for crying out loud! Couldn't find them. We finally found the golf clubs. I had the ticket stub, I put Timmy on FaceTime. 'Timmy, will you tell the people here that the golf clubs are yours and your father, who paid for them, wants to take them out of the airport so I can get you your clubs the next day?' They wouldn't let me take the clubs out of Heathrow! 3 Chris Russo's trip began with a canceled flight. First Take/ESPN 'So Timmy's clubs had to stay at Heathrow overnight and he didn't have his golf clubs on Saturday because British Airways…wouldn't give it to his father!' Russo continued. 'Here's their answer, 'It's protocol, sir.' I'm not interested in protocol! I'm interested in the 5 iron! I am not interested in that! And they called the police on me! I'm a loud American! 'We're gonna get the authorities.' I don't give a crap about authorities, get the golf clubs where they're supposed to be!' 3 Chris Russo's travels continued to get worse. First Take/ESPN 3 Chris Russo ranted for more than 10 minutes about his international travel troubles. First Take/ESPN Russo managed to avoid any sort of arrest or detainment, playing his cards right when they arrived. 'Almost,' he said when asked if he got arrested. 'The cops came, I said, 'I'll be okay, calm down.''

🤕Boca to miss key player against Unión
After a draw with little to rescue against Argentinos, Boca has already changed its focus and set its sights on the next Clausura match against Unión. Russo's big challenge was to recover Nicolás Figal, however, today he was completely ruled out. The first central defender felt pain again in his right calf, precisely in the scar of an old tear. Advertisement Although the studies did not reveal a new injury, the technical staff will handle it with caution and quickly ruled him out.

Philip Morris International (PM): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on Philip Morris International on WorldlyInvest's Substack. As of 2ⁿᵈ July, Philip Morris International's share was trading at $175.91. PM's trailing and forward P/E were 27.70 and 24.43 respectively according to Yahoo Finance. Diego Cervo/ Russo views Philip Morris International (PM) as one of the most remarkable examples in the author's portfolio of a company with the capacity to reinvest and transform itself. Over the past 14 years, PM has invested aggressively into developing Reduced Risk Products (RRPs) like IQOS, VEEV ONE, and ZYN. IQOS, its flagship heat-not-burn product, is now a major success in Japan and expanding in Western Europe. The regulatory backdrop is improving, with ZYN recently gaining FDA recognition as reduced-risk. PM's deep investments are creating network effects in its RRPs ecosystem, where scale, retail presence, and consumer loyalty drive competitive advantage. Russo sees PM as having built a durable path to grow nicotine market share in safer formats — aligning both with societal trends and future revenue/profit growth. PM's capacity to suffer — making $14B+ in RRP investments ahead of peers — positions it as the clear leader in the industry's future. The company's investments in innovation and renovation of their product lineup, underwritten cumulative smoke-free product investments of $14 billion, growing sharply from a smaller base of $2.4 billion in 2015, make it an attractive investment. Previously, we covered a on Philip Morris International by Librarian Capital in June 2025, which highlighted the company's potential as a backdoor play on the AI energy boom through its nuclear energy infrastructure assets. The stock has depreciated by 1.90% since then. This previous thesis emphasized PM's critical energy infrastructure and potential to profit from the AI energy spike, but it didn't play out as AI focus shifted. WorldlyInvest's current thesis shares a similar view on PM's growth potential, but emphasizes its successful transformation through investments in Reduced Risk Products like IQOS and ZYN, positioning it for future revenue growth. PM isn't on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. While we acknowledge the risk and potential of PM as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an extremely cheap AI stock that is also a major beneficiary of Trump tariffs and onshoring, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

England blank Wales 6-1 to qualify into Euro quarters
ST. GALLEN, Switzerland: Reigning champions England thrashed neighbours Wales 6-1 to reach the Women's Euro 2025 quarterfinals on Sunday, securing second spot in Group D and cruising into the knockouts, where they will face Sweden, on a high note. Georgia Stanway, Ella Toone, Lauren Hemp, Alessia Russo, Beth Mead and Aggie Beever-Jones were all on target for England, who finished runners-up to France after their 5-2 victory over the Netherlands. Sarina Wiegman's team will next face a Sweden side, who won all three of their games to top Group C, in the quarterfinals on Thursday. "It is going to be a difficult game. We watched (Sweden) the other night and they were really good. We need to be on our best game," Toone said. "But we're feeling confident, I think they should be scared." The second-place finish, however, could be a bonus as provided they get past the Swedes, England would potentially avoid world champions Spain in the semifinals. Stanway struck from the penalty spot in the 13th minute after a foul in the box, calmly sweeping her shot into the far-left corner past the outstretched hands of goalkeeper Olivia Clark to open the floodgates. Toone found the back of the net with a scrappy goal eight minutes later. England capitalised on a sloppy clearance by Rhiannon Roberts, with the ball falling to Russo who nudged it into the path of Toone who fired home at the second attempt. Hemp nodded a third inside 30 minutes after a clever pass from Lauren James to Toone near the byline. Toone found Hemp at the far post with a deep cross for an easy header. Russo bagged her first goal of the tournament just before halftime when Toone made another dart to byline before cutting the ball back for Russo, who took one touch to control it before firing home and Mead cut inside a defender before slotting England's fifth in the 72nd minute. Hannah Cain pulled one back to the delight of the Wales fans, who celebrated by singing their national anthem, in the 76th minute, but England's Beever-Jones replied in the 89th with her first goal in a major tournament, heading home Mead's cross. "We scored six goals and a big part of the game we dominated, a very good game," Wiegman said. "Playing well is the most important, who scores is not that important." Much was made about the rivalry between the two nations, with Wales wanting nothing better than to spoil England's party. Thousands of loud Welsh fans cheered and sang throughout Sunday's match, despite the scoreline. But Wiegman's team, World Cup finalists in 2023, showed their vast experience against a Wales side making their major tournament debut. "We were really good. It is always hard to play against a team that sits in a low block," Toone said. "It was nice we got an early goal in the first half and we enjoyed the game." England have won 10 of the 11 meetings between the two teams, with Wales' best result being a 0-0 draw in 2018. "This is the beginning of a journey for us," Wales midfielder Jess Fishlock said. "We've played three of the best teams in the world at this tournament and we've found out how big that jump is." — Reuters
