Rooney recalls Trump nuclear warning during surreal Secret Service golf round

Rooney described a surreal round at Trump National where heavy security, snipers and motorcades surrounded what began as a casual golf outing, after Donald Trump decided to join his group once learning the former Manchester United striker was on the course. Trump explained that a special box on an SUV would airlift him to safety in a nuclear attack, bluntly telling Rooney and his friend they would be “f*cked,” while Rudy Giuliani followed behind in another buggy amid dozens of security buggies and armed protection all over the course.

Scholes steps back to care for son

Paul Scholes (Manchester United)
October 2025

Paul Scholes ended regular TNT Sports punditry to care for his non-verbal autistic son, Aiden. Thursday fixtures disrupted Aiden’s routine, so Scholes dropped Europa League duties and shifted to The Overlap’s Stick to Football, replacing Jamie Carragher. The change lets him be home more while remaining active in football media. Scholes rebalanced commitments by declining midweek TV slots, favouring podcast recordings with flexible scheduling and home-based prep. He coordinates support around Aiden’s needs, reducing travel and unpredictable late finishes. The approach preserves involvement, limits sensory disruptions for his son, and sets a model other caregivers in sport broadcasting could emulate.
