Orange crush

The Milano Speed Skating is beginning to look like the Denver Broncos Stadium at Mile High. Which is to say lots of orange, the color in which Netherland fans are decked out. And, of course, the color proud Broncos fans wear. The fans from Netherlands are here in particular to cheer on one of their speed skating stars, Leerdam.

Why do they wear orange? According to the Dutch Amsterdam website, here’s why: ‘Orange is the color of the Dutch Royal Family, which hails from the House of Orange.” Wearing orange is a way to pay tribute to the Dutch Royal Family.

How old is Jutta Leerdam?

The Dutch speedskating star is 27. She was born Dec. 30, 1998 in ‘s-Gravenzande, Netherlands.

Jake Paul delivers flowers  

On Sunday, Paul posted a video on his Instagram page showing him presenting flowers to Leerdam at the Milano Cortina Winter Games.

“Thank you for coming,’’ Leerdam told Paul after kissing him.

Paul, indicating he was addressing the couple’s future children, looked at the camera and said, “Hey little kids. You guys are not even born yet but we’re making a video for you. …Your mom is about to go for gold.’’

The couple started dating in the spring of 2023 and got engaged in March 2025.

In recent years, Leerdam has supported Paul during his boxing matches. Now Paul will be the cheerleader.

He is expected to be among the spectators at Milano Speed Stadium to watch Leerdam’s first race of these Olympics. Leerdam also will compete in the 500m Feb. 15, when Jackson, the American star, will try to defend her Olympic title in the event.

Jake Paul had to explain why he referred to Bad Bunny as a ‘fake American citizen,’ and then appeared to backtrack altogether from his criticism by declaring his ‘love’ for the Super Bowl 60 halftime show performer in a series of social media posts on Monday morning, Feb. 9.

Paul, the YouTube star-turned-boxer, was one of the biggest online voices who encouraged fans on Sunday afternoon to boycott the NFL’s halftime show, less than two hours before the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots kicked off.

‘Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that,’ Paul wrote initially on Sunday.

Bad Bunny (real name Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio) is from Puerto Rico, an American territory, and therefore is an American citizen. Paul’s initial tweet eventually received a community note from X correcting that those who live in Puerto Rico have been identified as American citizens since 1917.

Jake Paul clarified his position on Monday morning following the conclusion of the Super Bowl and Bad Bunny’s halftime show, which received significant political attention due to the Puerto Rican star’s public opposition to the illegal immigration enforcement tactics used by ICE and the Trump Administration. Paul is a resident of Puerto Rico and an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump, who also panned Bad Banny’s halftime show set as ‘absolutely terrible’ on Sunday night.

‘The problem with my tweet is the word fake being misinterpreted,’ Paul wrote on social media on Monday. ‘He’s not a fake citizen obviously bc hes Puerto Rican and I love Puerto Rico and all Americans who support the country. Moreso Bunny is fake bc of his values and criticism of our great country.’

Paul then added more context and brought up Hunter Hess, the American freestyle skiier who drew criticism from Trump and Trump supporters when he said representing the U.S. at the 2026 Winter Olympics brings up ‘mixed emotions.’ Paul’s fiancee is American speed skater Jutta Leerdam of the Netherlands and races on Monday.

‘To clarify: I wasn’t calling anyone a “fake citizen” because they’re from Puerto Rico,’ Paul wrote. ‘I live in Puerto Rico, and I love Puerto Rico. I have used my platform to support Puerto Rico time and time again and will always do so. But if you’re publicly criticizing ICE who are doing their job and openly hating on America, I’m going to speak on it. Period. That’s the same reason I called out Hunter Hess. If you benefit from a country and the platform it gives you, but publicly disrespect it at the same time, that’s what I mean by being a fake citizen. And I agree love is more powerful than hate. Love America.’

Paul’s initial polarizing tweet and subsequent fact check drew widespread attention in the lead up to Bad Bunny’s performance at halftime of the Seahawks’ 29-13 win over the Patriots, with even Paul’s brother having to publicly side against a family member in the aftermath of the show.

‘I love my brother but I don’t agree with this,’ Logan Paul, the WWE star, wrote on social media over his brother’s initial post. ‘Puerto Ricans are Americans & I’m happy they were given the opportunity to showcase the talent that comes from the island.’

By 10 a.m. ET, Jake Paul sounded even more remorseful in light of the backlash he had received. He changed his bio on X to ‘Benito #1 fan, and insisted in a new tweet that, ‘I love bad bunny idk (I don’t know) what happened on my twitter last night??’

Budweiser left nothing to chance in taking home its record 10th first-place finish in USA TODAY’s Ad Meter contest.

The King of Beers was once again the king of Super Bowl Sunday commercials, easily outpointing Lay’s in balloting that culminated at midnight Feb. 9, hours after the Seattle Seahawks trounced the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60.

In ‘American Icons,’ Budweiser emptied the tank to mark its 150th anniversary while strongly tying itself to the USA’s 250th. Naturally, its not-so-secret weapon – the iconic Clydesdale – was front and center.

Mix in the birth of an American Bald Eagle, nursed into adulthood by the caring steed until it soars freely on its own – picking up the pace in time with Lynyrd Skynyrd’s ‘Free Bird’ – and the 60-second spot broke through the competition typically loaded with nascent brands and nostalgia-fueled celebrity spots.

‘That’s what we wanted to bring to life, this idea of celebrating two icons, the Budweiser Clydesdale, the American Bald Eagle at the same moment,’ Anheuser-Busch’s chief commercial officer Kyle Norrington told USA TODAY before the Super Bowl, noting that ‘Free Bird’ was the first and only choice for the soundtrack.

‘There’s not a lot of dialogue, so ‘Free Bird’ really carries this narrative in an epic way.’

In a sense, the proven formula stood out even more against an occasionally dark ad lineup heavy on artificial intelligence (including some fratricide among the brands), surveillance for your puppy and de-aging technology of beloved stars of yore that fans on social media found unsettling.

This time, it scored a 4.0 out of 5, defeating Lay’s ‘Last Harvest,’ which chronicles the emotional final lap for a potato farmer. Pepsi’s ‘The Choice,’ which co-opts Coca-Cola’s iconic polar bear, was third at 3.48, with Dunkin’s ‘Good Will Dunkin’,’ fueled by both the 1997 Ben Affleck-Matt Damon film and ‘90s-era NBC comedy icons, fourth at 3.48.

Michelob Ultra (3.47) rounded out the top five with a star turn from Kurt Russell and appearances from Winter Olympic icons Chloe Kim and T.J. Oshie. 

Budweiser’s patriotic 2026 Super Bowl commercial won USA TODAY Ad Meter, the record 10th title for the beer brand, uniting a Clydesdale and a bald eagle for America’s 250th birthday.

Rounding out the top five were Lay’s, Pepsi, Dunkin’ and Michelob Ultra, each delivering memorable spots during the big game. The NFL also landed two Super Bowl spots in the top 20 with ‘Champion’ finishing eighth and ‘You Are Special’ 16th.

On the other end of things, Coinbase had another polarizing commercial and the crypto company finished last for the second time in five years. Other brands in the bottom five were Svedka, Ro, SalesForce and Wix

Courtney Williams, Saniya Rivers and Azura Stevens are all on the move.

On Monday morning, Unrivaled announced it had processed the second trade in league history, which sent Williams to Breeze BC from Vinyl BC, Rivers to Vinyl from Hive BC and Stevens to Hive from Rose BC. The details of the trade posted to social media by the league don’t indicate that Rose got a player in return, nor does it show what Breeze gave up for Williams.

The trade comes following the announcement Aari McDonald was ruled out for the remainder of the Unrivaled season with what the league called a “right lower extremity injury.” McDonald hadn’t played much for Breeze this season, appearing one game as she worked her way back from a foot injury she suffered during the WNBA season with the Fever.

Williams joins a Breeze team coached by former Seattle Storm head coach Noelle Quinn that is fourth in the league standings with a 5-5 record. Williams will be the oldest player on the team, which features young stars like Paige Bueckers, Cameron Brink, Rickea Jackson, Kate Martin and Dominique Malonga.

Vinyl, coached by Theresa Weatherspoon, is sixth in the league standings. Rivers — an NC State product who just completed her rookie season in the WNBA with the Connecticut Sun — will be the youngest player on a team that features veterans like Dearica Hamby and Brittney Griner.

Stevens joins a Hive team that’s seventh in the standings.

The first trade in Unrivaled happened before the league began play in December 2024 and Williams was involved in that, too. The Laces shipped Williams to the Lunar Owls in exchange for Natasha Cloud, then the Laces flipped Cloud and a wildcard spot to the Phantom for Jackie Young and Tiffany Hayes.

Williams — who stars for the Minnesota Lynx in the WNBA — is fifth in Unrivaled in assists this season with 4.1 per game.

The day after the New England Patriots fell to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX, a pair of Boston-area teams will face off for a different kind of title.

Boston University and Boston College will add another chapter to their storied rivalry when they meet in the championship game of the 2026 Beanpot on Monday, February 9 at TD Garden in Boston.

The two schools, separated by a three-mile stretch of Commonwealth Avenue, are the two most decorated teams in the history of the annual event, which pits four Boston-area college hockey programs — BU, BC, Harvard and Northeastern — against each other in a tournament. 

The Terriers have won the Beanpot 32 times, including a 4-1 victory against BC in last year’s Beanpot final, while the Eagles have captured it 20 times.

Coming off three consecutive Frozen Four appearances, including a loss in last year’s NCAA championship game, BU is struggling this season, with a 13-13-2 mark heading into Monday’s game. Last Monday, though, it battled back from a one-goal deficit on two different occasions to beat Northeastern in a shootout to advance to the Beanpot final.

It will take on a BC team that’s 15-9-1, a run that included a 5-1 drubbing of Harvard last Monday in the Beanpot semifinals. The Eagles have won their only previous matchup against the Terriers this season, a 4-1 road victory on January 30. BC has won seven of the past nine meetings against its Green Line rival. 

Monday’s game will be the 300th all-time matchup between the two.

What is the Beanpot?

The Beanpot is an annual tournament men’s and women’s hockey tournament involving the four major college hockey teams from the Boston area: Boston University, Boston College, Harvard and Northeastern.

The men’s tournament began in 1952 while the women’s tournament was first held in 1979.

The games traditionally are held on the first and second Mondays of February, a pair of semifinals held the first week and the winners of those two games meeting in the title game the next week.

The tournament was originally called the New England Hockey Invitational, but in the leadup to the first iteration of the event in 1952, Leonard M. Fowle of The Boston Globe referred to it as the “so-called ‘Bean Pot’ tournament.” The moniker proved to be popular and quickly became the tournament’s name.

BU has the most all-time men’s Beanpot titles, with 32, followed by BC with 20, Harvard with 11 and Northeastern with nine. The Terriers’ success in the tournament has led their fans to refer to the Beanpot as the “BU Invitational.”
