72. A cynical trip from Hughes sends Hojlund sprawling in the centre of the pitch.
It’s a clear yellow card although the midfielder points out it wouldn’t have happened if Eze had been awarded a free-kick seconds earlier.
70. Manchester United need a goal. Rasmus Hojlund needs a goal. Joshua Zirkzee needs a goal.
Both strikers are now on, taking over from Kobbie Mainoo and Noussair Mazraoui.
68. Rather than rallying since falling behind, United are suddenly looking shakey.
Palace smell blood, and Hughes has the chance to slip in Mateta for a second but overcooks his pass.
66. Bruno Fernandes was booked for dissent in the aftermath of that Crystal Palace goal.
I’ve no idea what he may have been complaining about, but he’s not alone among those inside Old Trafford.
64. Crystal Palace lead through Jean-Philippe Mateta!
It’s an instant impact from substitute Ebere Eze, who swings a delightful free-kick over for Maxence Lacroix to meet.
The defender’s thumping header crashes against the crossbar and with Andre Onana grounded, Mateta reacts quicker than Harry Maguire to follow up and bury into the empty net.
The travelling fans celebrate, and now sense another victory over Manchester United.
In a shocking turn of events, Lisandro Martinez suffered a sickening knee injury during the match between Manchester United and Crystal Palace. The defender’s injury forced the game to be halted as he received medical attention on the pitch.
The severity of Martinez’s injury is still unknown, but it was clear from the reaction of players and fans that it was a serious incident. The Argentine defender has been a key player for Manchester United this season, and his absence will surely be felt in the coming matches.
Fans and teammates alike are hoping for a speedy recovery for Martinez, and are sending their thoughts and prayers to him during this difficult time. Stay tuned for more updates on his condition as they become available.

Kansas center Hunter Dickinson and Baylor forward Norchad Omier reach for a loose ball during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game Saturday, Feb. 1, 2025, in Waco, Texas.
Waco, Texas — After several of its recent victories necessitated late rallies, the Kansas men’s basketball team found itself in the unfamiliar position of playing from ahead in the second half on Saturday afternoon.
Perhaps the Jayhawks would have been more comfortable trying to string together another comeback.
After leading by as many as 21 points in the first half, KU conceded a 26-6 run to open the second — then another stretch of 17 straight points when it had briefly recovered its composure and gone up double digits again.
“I never felt like we had momentum in the second half,” KU coach Bill Self said.
The result was the biggest comeback KU has ever allowed in a loss. Baylor’s rally from down 38-17 with less than two minutes to go in the first half replaces a 20-point blown lead against Arizona in 2003. The Bears beat the 11th-ranked Jayhawks 81-70 at Foster Pavilion, their fifth straight time defeating KU in Waco.
“The difference was they scored 21 points in the first half and they scored 60 in the second,” center Hunter Dickinson said. “I don’t think you’ll ever beat a team allowing them to score 60 points in a half. I think that’s pretty hard to overcome even if you have a 19-point lead going into halftime.”
Baylor pulled off the miracle, doubling up KU in the second half, despite having precious few players at its disposal. It was already playing with a tight rotation in the ongoing absence of guards Langston Love (ankle soreness) and Jeremy Roach (concussion), and it got even tighter when freshman VJ Edgecombe suffered a lower-body injury early in the second half and Jayden Nunn and Norchad Omier got in foul trouble.
“We should have been more aggressive towards the guys who had four fouls, because they were key guys, and I think that’s on the players,” Dickinson said. “We got to be more aggressive trying to get downhill, trying to make contact.”
Added Self: “We wanted to drive it. Obviously, I’m not going to say they weren’t going to guard us but they weren’t going to foul us. So naturally in that situation you got to drive the ball. We didn’t do a good job of that, at all. But we also had some finishes that should be baskets every time and we came up with nothing several times.”
KU returned to nearly full strength with KJ Adams still in the fold (though coming off the bench, a rarity for him in recent seasons) and Dajuan Harris Jr. in the starting lineup after missing his first-ever game with an ankle injury. The lone missing player was freshman Rakease Passmore, who has received sporadic moments of playing time in recent weeks but did not make the trip to Waco after he got concussed in practice on Thursday, Self said on pregame radio.
After Edgecombe led the way for Baylor early, fellow freshman Robert O. Wright III picked up the slack, leading all scorers with 24 points. Omier added 18 with 16 rebounds and Jalen Celestine hit four critical 3-pointers, all in the second half.
“They were as good as we were in the first half, plus,” Self said of the second-half showing. “And we were as bad as they were in the first half, plus. Just kind of a tale of two halves.”
Dickinson was the only consistent offensive threat for KU, scoring 20 points. Harris tallied 12 with eight assists.
The Jayhawks did not take advantage of a series of open looks from beyond the arc in the opening minutes. Dickinson scored four of KU’s first five field goals — not necessarily in his usual fashion, as they came on three jumpers and a floater.
Rylan Griffen provided a spark in his initial action, sinking a no-hesitation 3-pointer and then finishing an alley-oop from Harris to put KU up 15-9 and force a timeout by the Bears.
They had to call another one not long afterward, because David Coit hit back-to-back stepback 3s off the bench and Flory Bidunga stole the ball from Celestine for a transition dunk.
By the time Josh Ojianwuna scored in the post with eight minutes and 51 seconds left in the first half, KU had gone on an 18-1 run.
The Jayhawks didn’t do much to take advantage of a string of Baylor turnovers, and Edgecombe ended a lengthy drought for the Bears with their first 3-pointer of the game to cut KU’s advantage to 30-15.
At halftime, the Jayhawks led 40-21. Edgecombe went 4-for-7 from the field prior to the break compared to a 4-for-22 mark for all of his teammates combined.
“We were pretty confident at halftime,” Dickinson said. “We felt like we did a really good job of guarding their sets and really forcing some bad shots and we were playing off that.”
That dynamic changed quickly after halftime, when Baylor scored seven straight points, including five from Omier, to necessitate an immediate timeout by Self.
“I think that we just didn’t come out in the second half with any energy,” Griffen said. “That’s something that we got to fix for sure for the rest of the season.”
Wright got in on the scoring, and Baylor stormed back to cut its deficit all the way to six points on back-to-back 3s by Celestine, aided by missed free throws by Harris.
The Jayhawks turned the ball over immediately out of a timeout and allowed Edgecombe’s first bucket of the second half; however, Edgecombe limped down the tunnel with an apparent injury almost immediately afterward.
Baylor had a potential go-ahead bucket by Ojianwuna wiped out by traveling, but the Bears took the lead on a pair of free throws by Wright with 13:03 to go.
“I think in the second half we just did not get stops,” Dickinson said. “I don’t remember a time where we got two-in-a-row stops.”
The Jayhawks responded, at long last, with Zeke Mayo’s first bucket of the day off an offensive rebound by Adams, and then a three-point play by Harris.
Adams put the Jayhawks back up 10 points off an assist by Mayo with just over nine minutes remaining, only for Celestine to hit another 3 out of a timeout.
After Dickinson missed the front end of a one-and-one, Omier and Wright made two free throws each, cutting KU’s lead to 63-61 with five minutes to go. Then Wright responded to a missed jump shot by Adams with a floater to tie the game, and Celestine hit a go-ahead 3 to give Baylor what was then its largest lead of the day — three points.
“He wore us out the second half,” Self said of Wright. “We had no answer for him.”
The margin grew bigger and bigger as the Jayhawks failed to muster any offense of note. Mayo’s off-balance shot with 2:13 to go ended a scoreless period of four minutes and 44 seconds.
Dickinson fouled out after two late fouls in a 22-second span.
The Jayhawks will face a quick turnaround as they head back to Lawrence to host Iowa State on Monday at 8 p.m. The Cyclones, ranked No. 3 in the country, suffered a shock loss of their own to Kansas State, 80-61, on Saturday afternoon. ISU previously beat KU at Hilton Coliseum, 74-57, on Jan. 15.

The Kansas Jayhawks suffered a devastating loss against the Baylor Bears on Saturday, marking the largest blown lead in school history.
Despite holding a commanding 21-point lead in the first half, the Jayhawks fell apart in the second half, allowing Baylor to storm back and ultimately secure a 77-69 victory.
The loss was a bitter pill to swallow for Kansas fans, as their team’s once-promising performance unraveled before their eyes. Head coach Bill Self and his players will undoubtedly be looking to regroup and learn from this crushing defeat as they move forward in their season.
The Jayhawks will need to address their shortcomings and find ways to close out games if they hope to contend for a conference title and make a deep run in the NCAA tournament. This loss serves as a harsh reminder of the importance of maintaining focus and composure, even in the face of adversity.

WACO, Texas — Kansas blowing the biggest lead in a loss in the storied program’s history didn’t cost coach Bill Self his sense of humor.
“I honestly believe that the oranges that we ate at halftime that Baylor provided was probably the reason why we [were bad] in the second half,” Self said after the No. 11 Jayhawks couldn’t protect a 21-point lead from late in the first half in an 81-70 loss to the Bears on Saturday.
The stunning reversal topped the 20-point lead Kansas blew to Arizona, which was No. 1, at Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 27, 2003.
Interestingly, both times the Jayhawks have led by at least 20 points and lost, it was a double-digit setback. In a 91-74 victory 22 years ago, the Wildcats stormed back from a 44-24 deficit.
Another reason for Self to be more subdued than irate was the scene in the locker room.
“I really didn’t say much,” Self said. “I don’t think in situations like that there’s really a lot to be said. Any type of pick-’em-up talk isn’t going to be heard. And there’s no reason to get on anybody.”
Freshman Robert Wright III scored 20 of his 24 points for the Bears (14-7, 6-4 Big 12) after the break, when Kansas led 40-21 after going ahead 38-17 in the final minutes of the first half.
Baylor opened the second half on a 26-6 run, capped by Wright’s free throws for a 47-46 lead, sparking one of several deafening roars from the sellout crowd at Foster Pavilion.
The Jayhawks (15-6, 6-4) got the lead back to 10 and were still up eight with six minutes to go, when Baylor finished on a 26-7 run to cap a 60-point second half.
Jalen Celestine‘s tiebreaking 3-pointer put the Bears up for good 66-63 with four minutes remaining.
Baylor completed the rally without VJ Edgecombe, the team’s leading scorer in Big 12 games. The Bears were in the middle of the big comeback when the freshman, who had 14 points, limped to the locker room due to an injury. He didn’t return.
“If you don’t believe in miracles, that second half, such a limited bench and against a Hall of Fame coach and a great team that don’t beat themselves,” Baylor coach Scott Drew said. “I think our crowd deserves a lot of credit. We only had 11 assists, but I think the crowd gets 10 of them.”
The collapse by the Jayhawks came a week after sixth-ranked Houston pulled off improbable rallies in the final seconds of regulation and the first overtime in a double-OT win at Allen Fieldhouse.
“Yeah, there’s some concern,” Self said. “It was two different type games. The way the [Baylor] game ended was indicative of how the entire second half went. It wasn’t just a closeout.”
The Jayhawks had a 20-0 edge in bench scoring at the break, but Celestine helped to close that gap by going 4-of-6 on 3-pointers after halftime. The final bench scoring margin was 28-12.
Kansas had three fewer turnovers (14) than Baylor, but was outscored 24-11 in points off turnovers. The Bears scored 15 of those points after the break, and the Jayhawks shot 36% in the second half.
Hunter Dickinson scored 20 points for the Jayhawks, who didn’t get consistent scoring from anyone else.
“They were as good as we were the first half, plus,” Self said of the second half. “And we were as bad as they were the first half, plus.”
In a heartbreaking turn of events, the Kansas Jayhawks suffered their largest blown lead in program history as they fell to the Baylor Bears in a stunning upset.
Despite holding a sizable lead for most of the game, the Jayhawks were unable to maintain their momentum and allowed Baylor to come storming back in the second half. The Bears capitalized on turnovers and missed opportunities by Kansas, ultimately sealing the victory in the final minutes of the game.
The loss marks a significant setback for the Jayhawks, who were considered a top contender in the conference. It serves as a harsh reminder that no lead is safe in college basketball and underscores the importance of maintaining focus and composure until the final buzzer.
Kansas will need to regroup and refocus as they look to bounce back from this devastating defeat and continue their pursuit of a conference title. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but the Jayhawks must learn from this experience and come back stronger in their next game.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A U.S. Air Force pilot was reported to be safe after a single-seat F-35 fighter jet crashed Tuesday during a training exercise at a base in Alaska.
The pilot experienced an “inflight malfunction” but was able to eject from the aircraft, Col. Paul Townsend, commander of the 354th Fighter Wing, told a news conference. The plane crashed during the landing phase of the flight at Eielson Air Force Base, he said.
The pilot had declared an inflight emergency prior to the crash and was in stable condition and being evaluated at a medical facility, he said.
The crash, which occurred early Tuesday afternoon, caused significant damage to the aircraft, the Air Force said in a statement.
Eielson Air Force Base is about 25 miles (40 kilometers) south of Fairbanks.
Townsend said in the statement said the Air Force would conduct “a thorough investigation in hopes to minimize the chances of such occurrences from happening again.”
Eielson was selected in 2016 to host 54 F-35s, spawning an expansion that cost more than a half-billion dollars that was to include 36 new buildings and dozens of housing units. The expansion included about 3,500 new active duty airmen and their dependents.
With the capability to fly more than 12 hours at a time, the F-35 can reach almost anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere in one mission.
In May, an F-35 fighter jet on its way from Texas to Edwards Air Force Base near Los Angeles crashed after the pilot stopped to refuel in New Mexico. The pilot was taken to a hospital with serious injuries.
In October, a Marine investigation blamed the pilot of an F-35 for ejecting from the aircraft when he didn’t need to, causing the fighter to fly unmanned for 11 minutes before it crashed in rural South Carolina in 2023.
This article was originally published on NBCNews.com
A pilot is safe after an F-35 military jet suffered ‘significant damage’ in an accident at an Alaska base.
The incident occurred at Eielson Air Force Base on Thursday, where the F-35A Lightning II aircraft experienced an accident during a routine training flight. The pilot was able to safely eject from the aircraft and was later found to be in good condition.
The extent of the damage to the F-35 jet is still being assessed, but initial reports indicate that it suffered significant damage. The cause of the accident is currently under investigation.
The safety of our military pilots is always a top priority, and we are grateful that the pilot involved in this incident was able to safely eject and escape unharmed. Our thoughts are with the pilot and their family during this time.
We will continue to provide updates on this situation as more information becomes available. Thank you to all of our service members for their dedication and bravery in protecting our country.

Nvidia set a dubious Wall Street record Monday, as the stock at the forefront of the U.S.-led artificial intelligence revolution got a scare from DeepSeek, the Chinese AI company which developed a ChatGPT rival at a fraction of the reported cost of its American peers.
Nvidia stock had a historically bad Monday.
Shares of Nvidia plunged 17% by close, suffering its worst daily percentage loss since March 2020, when stocks briefly crashed at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nvidia lost $589 billion in market capitalization Monday, which is by far the single greatest one-day value wipeout of any company in history, more than doubling the $279 billion market cap lost by none other than Nvidia on Sept. 3, 2024 (Meta’s $251 billion loss Feb. 3, 2022 is the third-biggest daily loss).
The slide knocked Nvidia from its position as the world’s most valuable company, sending its valuation from $3.5 trillion to $2.9 trillion, less than Apple’s and Microsoft’s.
Nvidia headlined broader U.S. stock losses, as the benchmark S&P 500 fell 1.5% and the tech-concentrated Nasdaq dropped 3.1%, and other major AI technology providers including fellow chip designers Arm and Broadcom plus data storer Oracle all tanked at least 10%.
In an afternoon statement, a Nvidia spokesperson called DeepSeek’s model an “excellent AI advancement” which is “fully export control compliant” while still requiring “significant numbers” of Nvidia’s graphics processing units (GPUs).
The release of DeepSeek’s large-language model, which shook confidence in U.S. dominance in generative AI, may initially not seem like a negative catalyst for Nvidia, considering DeepSeek’s model was trained on Nvidia’s GPUs, like most other advanced AI programs. But the Chinese company said it spent just $5.6 million on Nvidia technology to develop its large-language model, and though experts speculate this is a gross underestimate, it still upsets the core thesis behind Nvidia stock’s meteoric rise. Nvidia’s net profits soared from $4.8 billion in 2022 to an estimated $66.7 billion in 2024 thanks in large part to demand for its GPUs, which fetch up to $25,000 apiece, from American tech giants like Facebook parent Meta, Tesla and ChatGPT maker OpenAI. If big U.S. tech companies “can learn from DeepSeek to design AI systems with cheaper GPUs…it might not be a happy development for Nvidia,” remarked Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research in a note to clients.
Nvidia’s nearly $600 billion market cap loss Monday is larger than the individual market values of all but 13 American companies, more than the market cap of titans like health insurer UnitedHealth, oil giant Exxon Mobil and retailer Costco.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang got $21 billion poorer Monday, as his net worth fell from $124.4 billion to $103.1 billion, according to Forbes estimates. Huang is Nvidia’s largest individual shareholder with a 3% stake in the Silicon Valley firm.
Nvidia Stock Plunges 17% As NVDA Suffers Biggest Market Cap Loss Ever—Driven By DeepSeek
In a shocking turn of events, Nvidia’s stock has plummeted by 17% in one day, resulting in the company’s biggest market cap loss ever. This dramatic decline was reportedly driven by DeepSeek, a new AI technology developed by a rival company that threatens to disrupt Nvidia’s dominance in the market.
Investors are reeling from the news, as Nvidia’s stock had been on a steady upward trajectory for years. The sudden drop has wiped out billions of dollars in market value, leaving many shareholders scrambling to make sense of the situation.
DeepSeek’s potential to revolutionize the AI industry has sent shockwaves through the tech world, with many speculating that Nvidia may struggle to compete against this new threat. As the dust settles, all eyes will be on how Nvidia responds to this unprecedented challenge and whether they can regain their footing in the market.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

The TV Answer Man – Follow me on X.
Former editor of Satellite DIRECT magazine. Reported on DIRECTV for more than 30 years.
DIRECTV Stream last night experienced a technical snafu with the FanDuel Sports Network’s regional sports channels, causing some subscribers to be unable to watch their favorite NHL and NBA teams.
The games affected included the Dallas Mavericks-Oklahoma City Thunder NBA contest, and the NHL games between the St. Louis Blues and Vegas Golden Knights and Columbus Blue Jackets and Carolina Hurricanes, and perhaps others.
Fans began complaining on social media sites around 7:30 p.m. ET that the FanDuel RSNs on DIRECTV Stream were showing a volleyball or high school football game instead of the scheduled NBA and NHL contests. (The issue apparently did not affect DIRECTV’s satellite subscribers.)
“Why do you have volleyball on instead of the game?” asked @postingthenews1 on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“@Canes Is anyone else getting volleyball on FanDuel SN on Directv stream instead of the Canes game?” added @caniac827.
“I can confirm it is a DirecTv problem. I launched the FanDuel Sports mobile application and the game is playing just fine. Just download the FanDuel sports app and then link your TV provider if it’s DIRECTV and then watch it through the app and it’ll work just fine,” said another fan on X.
DIRECTV’s X customer help team soon acknowledged the issue in a response to angry customers.
“We’re sorry there’s an issue with FanDuel Sports Network. We’re aware and working on it. DIRECTV appreciates your patience,” the TV provider wrote.
FanDuel’s X customer help team chimed in with a similar statement:
“We are sorry about the issues viewing tonight’s Thunders game. We are currently in communication with our partner, DTV, regarding this issue. In the meantime you can reach out to DTV for help or you can stream on the FanDuel Sports Network app using your DTV credentials,” the RSN company said.
However, the problem persisted, triggering an escalating anger among subscribers as the night progressed.
“That’s great! As a DIRECTV customer I feel like a winner too! Nothing like to paying extra for fanduel and getting to watch replay of Texas high school football,” wrote @soonerd483.
Well @DIRECTV streaming screwed is over go to watch the game and we no longer have Fan Duel Network. Any suggestions for streaming cable services that have Fan Duel Network?” wrote @alexwarren321.
DIRECTV at 9:49 p.m. ET tweeted that it was still working on the issue. The TV provider has not posted an update since. The TV Answer Man has asked DIRECTV for a comment and will report back here if we receive one.
“We’re aware of this known issue and are working on a fix,” the company said. “In the meantime, you can stream on the FanDuel Sports Network app using your DIRECTV credentials.
However, FanDuel’s X team said shortly after 10 p.m. ET that the problem had been resolved:
“Hey fans, the DTV issue has now been fixed, we genuinely apologize for the inconvenience. If you are still having issues, please get in contact with our support team @ help.fanduelsportsnetwork.com.”

Zach Edey‘s night unfortunately ended early on Friday.
The seven-foot-four Canadian big man left the game in the second quarter and did not return with what the Grizzlies called a nose injury. He took an inadvertent elbow from Spurs forward Justin Champagnie while contesting a layup.
Edey was seen on the bench with a bloody nose before he headed to the locker room. The Memphis centre played just seven minutes and scored four points while grabbing four rebounds.
Heading into Friday’s game, the Toronto native started 20 of the 27 games he’s played in, averaging 9.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks.
Fortunately for Edey and the Grizzlies, their next game is Monday against Minnesota, so the big man will have a few extra days to rest.
Canadian basketball player Zach Edey suffered a nose injury during a recent game against the San Antonio Spurs. The 7-foot-4 center was accidentally elbowed in the face while going up for a rebound, causing him to bleed profusely on the court.
Edey, who plays for the Purdue Boilermakers in the NCAA, was quickly taken to the locker room for further evaluation. Despite the injury, Edey showed incredible toughness and resilience, returning to the game after receiving medical treatment.
Fans and teammates alike were impressed by Edey’s determination and bravery in the face of adversity. The young Canadian prospect has already made a name for himself with his impressive size and skill on the court, and this incident only further solidifies his reputation as a hardworking and dedicated player.
We wish Zach Edey a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back on the court soon, dominating the game with his unique blend of size, strength, and skill. #GetWellSoonZachEdey

Update 1:48 PM: OpenAI has updated its status page and claims all systems are operational, but it appears ChatGPT is still suffering from a partial outage. Some users are reporting being able to converse with the chatbot again.
Recently, ChatGPT has been struggling with an outage. Although OpenAI’s chatbot website sometimes loads, no response actually follows any inputs from users.
The outage has only been going on for a short time. However, there have been thousands of reports of a problem since 12:30 AM. There appears to be nothing wrong with the API. Those who manage to reach the website often get “Internal Server Error” as a response back from the website. Currently, “Bad Gateway” appears on the website chat.openai.com or a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable message. Even paying users cannot contact the service through this URL.
ChatGPT also struggled with a global outage in December. At the time, OpenAI confirmed via X that there were problems with the service. At the time of writing, a similar message has not yet appeared this time around. This is not too surprising since the outage has only just begun. It is possible that it will end soon.
The cause for a DoS outage like this is usually too much of a question. OpenAI competitor Anthropic regularly chooses to make some Claude models (such as Claude 3.5 Sonnet) available only to paying users. OpenAI keeps the best LLMs (such as unlimited GPT-4o and o1) behind a pay wall. With ChatGPT Pro, the company even introduced an option for $200 per month, which would be losing even at that price point.
We will update this post when the service is accessible again. In case we’ve not yet spotted that the service is back up, you can always consult OpenAI’s own status page.
Also read: ChatGPT back online after global outage
It seems that ChatGPT, the popular AI chatbot, has once again experienced a global outage. Users around the world are reporting issues with accessing the platform and receiving responses from the AI.
This latest outage comes just weeks after a similar incident that left many users frustrated and unable to use the service. The team behind ChatGPT has yet to release an official statement on the cause of the outage or when it is expected to be resolved.
In the meantime, users are advised to be patient and try again later. Hopefully, the team will be able to quickly address the issue and get ChatGPT back up and running smoothly. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing situation.

Seacrest, out!
“Wheel of Fortune” host Ryan Seacrest was thrown to the ground when an overzealous contestant won the popular game show’s $40,000 grand prize on Tuesday.
Pittsburgh native Daniel Thomas needed to solve a one-word, seven-letter puzzle in the “Living Things” category in the show’s daunting bonus round.
Seacrest gave the anxious-looking contestant the letters “R, S, T, L, N, E” to start with the “S” and the “E” appearing on the board.
Thomas then chose “H, G, D, O,” but the only letter to appear was a “G.”
With only 10 seconds to solve the puzzle, Thomas blurted out, “Guppies” just before time expired.
“Yes!” Seacrest told him. “You did it!”
The elated contestant couldn’t control the joy of solving the puzzle and went in to embrace Seacrest with a hug but instead knocked him to the ground.
“Oh my gosh!” Thomas yelled as he went to help the host up.
“I’m good, I’m good,” Seacrest said with a smile.
The former “American Idol” host jumped back to his feet and immediately revealed that Thomas won $40,000.
“Daniel, easy on our host, but celebrate with $40,000,” show announcer Jim Thornton told Thomas as he embraced his family.
Seacrest revealed to Thomas that he was leaving the show with a total of $71,950 and slid over to the excited contestant to hug him — this time staying on his feet.
“How did you do that in the last second,” Seacrest asked.
“Push you over or solve the puzzle,” Thomas joked.
Thomas shared that when he “saw the letter P, the word just popped” into his head.
The clip, posted on the game show’s YouTube page, garnered some interesting reactions from fans — who all mostly seemed excited for Thomas and got a kick out of him knocking the host down.
“That was an amazing solve & the funniest thing I’ve seen all day after the solve,” one user commented.
“That tackle is worth a lot of money!” another chimed in.
“Whoa! I can’t believe Daniel won the bonus round, but he also knocked Ryan down! Ooh, I hope he’s all right,” wrote another.
Seacrest began hosting “Wheel of Fortune” alongside co-host Vanna White on Sept. 9 after Pat Sajak, the show’s longtime host, announced he would leave in June 2023.
“I love giving away the money,” he told Fox News in December. “I get so excited when people win the money, and they win a lot of money. I’m hoping to give away a million dollars in 2025.”
Ryan Seacrest, host of the popular game show ‘Wheel of Fortune’, suffered a hard fall on set after an emotional contestant won the $40,000 grand prize. The contestant, who had been struggling financially, broke down in tears as she spun the wheel and landed on the coveted $40K wedge.
Seacrest, known for his charismatic and composed demeanor, was so moved by the contestant’s reaction that he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Despite the fall, he quickly got back up and congratulated the contestant on her big win.
The moment was captured on camera and quickly went viral on social media, with fans praising Seacrest for his genuine and heartfelt reaction to the contestant’s win. Many viewers were touched by the emotional moment and commended the contestant for her perseverance and determination.
Seacrest later joked about the fall, saying that he was just so caught up in the excitement of the moment that he lost his footing. He assured fans that he was okay and that he was just happy to see the contestant walk away with the grand prize.
Overall, it was a heartwarming and emotional moment on ‘Wheel of Fortune’ that reminded us all of the power of perseverance and the joy of unexpected victories. Congratulations to the lucky contestant and kudos to Ryan Seacrest for his genuine and heartfelt reaction to her win.

After a week that saw a number of shakeups in the women’s college basketball AP poll, this past week was much quieter. Only one team ranked in the top 12 suffered a loss all week and of the 10 losses by ranked teams, half came against teams ranked in the top 10.
It should mean that there isn’t a ton of movement except at the bottom of the Top 25, where a pair of Big 12 teams account for 30 percent of the ranked losses this week and half the losses to unranked foes.
Below is a projection of what Monday’s AP Top 25 poll will look like.
1. UCLA
2. South Carolina
3. Notre Dame
4. USC
5. LSU
6. UConn
7. Texas
8. Maryland
9. TCU
10. Kansas State
11. Kentucky
12. Ohio State
13. North Carolina
14. Duke
15. Oklahoma
16. Tennessee
17. Georgia Tech
18. Cal
19. West Virginia
20. NC State
21. Alabama
22. Michigan State
23. Michigan
24. Minnesota
25. Creighton
UCLA will almost certainly remain at No. 1 because the Bruins are undefeated, but it’s more than fair to wonder if the Bruins are actually the best team in the country or not.
For my money, I lean toward UCLA being a close second to the real best team, South Carolina.
It was a banner week for the Gamecocks. Not only did head coach Dawn Staley sign a big-money extension, but the team also ha two dominant wins over ranked opponents, beating Alabama and Oklahoma.
The win over Oklahoma was particularly impressive. I don’t really think there were any concerns that SC would lose the game or anything like that, but the Sooners offense is always a big test for a defense. South Carolina passed the test easily, holding Oklahoma to 60 points while scoring 101 of their own. It was the fewest points score by Oklahoma since January 2024, when the team scored 60 in a win over Kansas.
Ohio State’s football team plays for a national championship on Monday night, but it’s women’s basketball team won’t have a great Monday as the Buckeyes fall from ninth to 12th.
Sunday’s loss to Penn State dropped Ohio State from the list of undefeated teams, which now stands at just two: UCLA and LSU.
It never really felt like the Buckeyes were going to keep the undefeated streak going. They’ve yet to face a ranked team, though that might change today if Michigan moves into the AP Top 25. A seven-point win against the Wolverines is the highlight so far this season.
Against Penn State on Sunday, the Buckeyes just couldn’t get the offense going. Cotie McMahon and Chance Gray combined for 37 of the team’s 59 points, but Gray was just 6-for-18 from the field and 4-for-12 from deep.
The Cowgirls didn’t last long in the AP Top 25. After debuting at No. 24 last week, Oklahoma State will drop out this week after suffering a shocking loss to Houston.
The Cougars are arguably the worst power conference team in the country. The team ranks 221st in the country in net rating, last of all teams in the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC. It’s been a nightmare of a season for the Coogs, but somehow they beat a ranked Oklahoma State team.
It’s hard to make sense of what happened there. Houston won the second quarter 21-10 and the third quarter 23-14 to build a huge lead. Oklahoma State clawed back in the fourth quarter but came up just short, losing by three.
One big issue was that the Cowgirls shot just 28.6% from deep. On the season, the team ranks 14th in the nation in three-point field goal percentage, but it went cold in this one, which certainly contributed to the shock defeat.
I don’t think the voters can justify ranking Utah and Oklahoma State after how this week went, but who takes their place?
Michigan makes sense for one of those spots. The team lost four of five between Dec. 17 and Jan. 8, but all the losses were to ranked teams. Since then, the team has three wins in a row, all by double digits. The ship looks righted.
As for the final spot, there’s not really a super strong contender for it, so my guess is enough voters land on Creighton in their final spot. The Bluejays are 15-3 and have won six in a row. After a 1-2 start to the season, the team’s only other loss was to No. 1 UCLA, so there’s definitely a case here.
But Creighton plays UConn this week, so entering the rankings is sure to be short-lived. Looking ahead, Nebraska might ultimately be the team that emerges as the best of the currently unranked teams. Keep an eye on how the Huskers do when they face Ohio State next Sunday.
st loss of the season
Following Ohio State’s first loss of the season to Oregon, the projected AP Top 25 rankings are sure to see some major shakeups. With the Buckeyes falling from their previous spot at No. 3, it’s anyone’s guess as to who will rise to take their place in the rankings. Stay tuned for the official release of the updated AP Top 25 tomorrow to see where your favorite teams land after this weekend’s action-packed games.
