Table-topping Lisburn chase down Woodvale to make it five wins from five in NCU Premiership
Ludwig Kaestner thumped nine sixes and five fours in an unbeaten 98 as the Ballygomartin side posted what looked like a formidable 184 for four in their 20 overs. The overseas professional shared a second wicket partnership of 68 with Ruhan Pretorius, while Carl Robinson cleared the ropes twice in a breezy cameo. Irish international Matthew Humphreys and Josh Manley were the pick of the Wallace Park attack taking two wickets apiece. Lisburn were always in control of the chase, with Ross Adair making a quickfire 25, and Faiz Fazal (27) content to play second fiddle to Neil Whitworth as the pair added 83 for the third wicket to lay the perfect platform for the victory. Whitworth has been enjoying a prolific season with Lisburn, and he followed up Sunday's Man-of-the-Match innings with yet another decisive contribution. He top-scored with an unbeaten 65 from just 40 balls (seven fours, three sixes), finding the perfect ally in Nigel Jones. The former Irish international added 67 in six overs with Whitworth, hitting four sixes in an unbeaten 46 from only 22 deliveries as Lisburn clinched victory with 11 balls to spare. CIYMS are in fourth place after they gained their third League win of the campaign against a Cliftonville Academy side still searching for their first points. Skipper John Matchett was the Belmont side hero as he rescued his team from a very precarious 44 for four in the 12th over. Matchett clubbed five maximums and four boundaries in a 37-ball 57 that propelled his team to 116 for six — the one batter that mastered the difficult conditions. John Glass with three wickets for nine runs was the pick of the home side attack. The chase just never gained any momentum with only two players reaching double figures — Abhishek Raut (12) and Jared Wilson (11) — as they were bundled out for 88. Ben Snell claimed three victims, while there were two apiece for Matchett and Alex Armstrong in the 28-run win.

Anheuser-Busch's ‘Game-Changing' New Energy Drink Has Officially Arrived
Anheuser-Busch has a new energy on the market. Earlier this year, the iconic beverage company partnered with another Missouri-based brand, 1st Phorm, and Dana White. Now, six months into their agreement, the teams are ready to debut a "game-changing new energy drink," aptly named Phorm Energy. Phorm Energy was born in part from a "vision to take The Lou's best-kept secret and transform it into a national powerhouse in the energy drink category," according to a May 28 press release, which also explained the drinks feature only natural flavors and caffeine from green tea, which is blended with electrolytes for hydration and ingredients aimed at supporting mental focus. Related: New Alani Nu Energy Drink Flavor Declared 'the Best' by Fans Phorm Energy is debuting in four varieties–Blue Blitz, Orange Fury, Screamin' Freedom and Grape Smash–all available in 16-ounce cans. Its Screamin' Freedom is described as a "full of flavor" release with notes of blueberry, cherry and citrus. Blue Blitz is said to be a combination of blue raspberry and cotton candy, while Orange Fury mixes orange soda with candied orange flavors for "just the right tanginess." Finally, its Grape Smash is "grape candy and grape soda all in one." Related:PepsiCo Confirms Limited-Edition Releases to Come From 'Powerhouse' New Partnership "With the launch of Phorm Energy, we're bringing together two American companies based in St. Louis and Dana White – all united by a powerful commitment to brand-building, quality, innovation and meeting the evolving needs of consumers," Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth said in a statement.

Two Rams legends will be on the panel for the NFL's new Protector of the Year Award
Two Rams legends will be on the panel for the NFL's new Protector of the Year Award The NFL is introducing a new award this year called the Protector of the Year. It recognizes the best offensive lineman in the league each season, rewarding a position that rarely gets the credit it deserves from fans and analysts. Andrew Whitworth and Dion Dawkins spearheaded the movement, campaigning for the NFL to create an award that will be handed out annually at the NFL Honors alongside MVP, Offensive Player of the Year and others. Not only did Whitworth campaign for the award, but he'll also be one of the people voting on it each year, as will another Rams legend: Orlando Pace. The NFL announced the six-person panel that will decide the winner, picking the top five nominees before selecting one winner from the list. Here's the complete panel, according to the NFL's official site: LeCharles Bentley – center/guard (New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns, 2002-2007), two-time Pro Bowl Selection and first-team All-Pro Jason Kelce – center (Philadelphia Eagles 2011-2023), seven-time Pro Bowl Selection, six-time First Team All-Pro, named to NFL's 2010s All-Decade Team, and Super Bowl LII champion Shaun O'Hara – center (Cleveland Browns and New York Giants, 2000-2010), three-time All-Pro and Super Bowl XLII champion Orlando Pace – tackle (St. Louis Rams and Chicago Bears 1997-2009), five-time All-Pro, named to NFL's 2000s All-Decade Team, and Super Bowl XXXIV champion Will Shields – guard (Kansas City Chiefs, 1993-2006), 12-time Pro Bowl selection, three-time First-Team All-Pro, 2023 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee (2015) Andrew Whitworth – tackle (Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams, 2006-2021), two first-team All-Pro Selections, 2021 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, and Super Bowl LVI champion This is an award Whitworth probably would've won at least once in his career, given his sheer dominance as a pass-blocking left tackle. The Rams could have a couple of candidates up for the honor in 2025, including Alaric Jackson, Kevin Dotson and Rob Havenstein. Follow Rams Wire on X, Facebook and Threads for more coverage!

Palantir (PLTR) Lands $1.3B Pentagon Win as AI Goes to War
Palantir Technologies (PLTR, Financials) just scored a major defense expansion. The Pentagon raised its contract ceiling for Palantir's Maven Smart System to $1.3 billion through 2029, up from $480 million, marking a $795 million vote of confidence in AI-led battlefield operations. Project Maven, launched in 2017, is the military's frontline AI tool for scanning satellite and drone footage to flag and track threats. Since taking over its geospatial functions in 2022, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has pushed the system into wider use. Adoption has exploded. More than 20,000 active users now rely on Maven four times the number from March. NGA also signed a new $28 million contract to expand access further. The speed is what's turning heads. One unit recently slashed its sensor-to-target time from hours to minutes. Army leadership now wants Maven to help troops make 1,000 battlefield calls in a single hour identifying, verifying, or dismissing threats in real time. William Blair analysts say adoption has blown past forecasts, and NGA Director Vice Adm. Frank Whitworth called Maven the Pentagon's marquee targeting program. The system is built on a tight-knit collaboration between Palantir, combatant commands, and about a dozen subcontractors a digital team sport, as Whitworth put it. Investors betting on AI in defense now have a front-row view of what scaled battlefield automation could look like and Palantir's role in insider trades for PLTR.
