Where Americans tip most
As Americans spend more on dining out than ever before, a new survey finds that over 15% of spending at full-service restaurants goes toward tips.

As Americans spend more on dining out than ever before, a new survey finds that over 15% of spending at full-service restaurants goes toward tips.
According to a survey by LendingTree, about $78 billion was spent on tips at restaurants, bars, and other places where food is consumed away from home in 2023. When considering full-service restaurants, such as Applebee’s, and limited-service venues, like Chipotle, tips account for 6.75% of total spending while dining out.
LendingTree’s survey shows that in 2023, Americans allocated 55.7% of their food budget to dining out, up from 49.4% in 2000.
New Hampshire, the District of Columbia, and South Carolina were identified as the most generous tippers, according to LendingTree. In contrast, Utah, Mississippi, and Idaho had the lowest tip rates.
D.C. residents spent about 75% of their food budget dining out, topping the list. Meanwhile, residents in Iowa and Idaho spent less than 44% of their food budgets on dining out.
The survey also noted that in states where residents tend to frequent full-service restaurants more often than others, the overall percentage spent on tips is likely to be higher.

Cubs takeaways
BOX SCORE After a smooth-sailing Friday, the Chicago Cubs endured a roller-coaster of a Saturday, which ended in an 8-6 loss to the NL Central rival St. Louis Cardinals.

After a smooth-sailing Friday, the Chicago Cubs endured a roller-coaster of a Saturday, which ended in an 8-6 loss to the NL Central rival St. Louis Cardinals.
A mounted comeback followed by a late blown save means the Cubs (53-36) now have shared the spoils of their first two games at Wrigley Field against the Cardinals (48-42).
They’ll have a chance to take the series in the rubber match Sunday night, but here are three things we learned from Saturday’s loss:
Off the rails
When Brad Keller entered the game in the top of the eighth inning, the Cubs held a 5-3 lead with one of their most reliable relievers on the bump.
By the time the inning was over, it was 8-5 Cardinals.
It was a sequence of events very unlike anything that Keller has experienced this season. In the months of May and June, he pitched 25 consecutive scoreless innings of relief. The most earned runs he previously had allowed in an inning was four, and it happened only once, on April 22 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
On Saturday, Keller retired the first batter he saw before things quickly went south. Alec Burleson launched a solo home run to bring the Cardinals within one, and three singles later, the score was tied. Then, pinch-hitter Yohel Pozo arrived and worked a 3-2 count before crushing Keller’s payoff pitch 419 feet and putting the Cubs into a deep hole with not many chances left.
Keller got out of the inning, but the damage already was done. His ERA, which stood at 1.82 entering Saturday, snowballed to 2.88 after five earned runs allowed on 32 pitches.
Burning Busch
Before the series began, Michael Busch quietly was emerging as one of MLB’s best hitters.
It’s not so quiet anymore.
Busch had the game of his career Friday, as he hit three home runs, becoming the first Cub to do so at Wrigley Field since 2013.
In the second inning Saturday, the first baseman had no interest in putting out his own fire. He homered again — his 18th of the season — and became the first Cub to club four in two games since Patrick Wisdom in 2023.
It also was Busch’s second homer off a left-handed pitcher in two days, which, given the way he’s struggled against southpaws this season, only further exemplified how much his offense has turned a corner in recent weeks.
After that first at-bat, Busch was slashing .524/.565/1.238 over his last seven games. That’s a 1.803 OPS. Then, he added two more hits, and that number ballooned to 1.861.
Busch undoubtedly is putting together an All-Star-level campaign that the players won’t want to ignore when reserves are announced Sunday. His .942 OPS this season now leads the Cubs and is sixth-best in MLB.
All good things …
Drew Pomeranz, who was riding an unprecedented 23.2 scoreless innings streak, was named the opener in a Cubs bullpen game, which became necessary Friday when Jameson Taillon hit the 15-day IL with a calf strain.
Pomeranz already done it once before — albeit in a slightly different scenario — and it worked wonders. He set up a first inning May 31 against the Cincinnati Reds, after which Ben Brown came in to throw six scoreless frames while striking out nine.
This time, there was no Brown, but there was the rest of the Cubs’ MLB second-best bullpen to back up Pomeranz. Unfortunately, those reinforcements were needed early when Pomeranz got himself into a bases-loaded jam with only one out in the first inning.
Cubs manager Craig Counsell subsequently pulled Pomeranz in favor of Chris Flexen, who gave up a two-run single to the first batter he faced. Those became the first two earned runs charged to Pomeranz this season, but that was all she wrote, as Flexen retired the next two hitters in order.
Even with his scoreless innings streak now over, Pomeranz still sports a stunning 0.76 ERA in his first big-league season since 2021.
The Cubs-Cardinals series will culminate on “Sunday Night Baseball,” which is scheduled for 5:10 p.m. CT on ESPN. Cubs ace Matthew Boyd (8-3, 2.65 ERA) will try to shut the door on the Cardinals, who will send Erick Fedde (3-8, 4.56 ERA) to the mound.

Cam Newton goes viral for telling high school players a harsh reality about college football

Cam Newton was one of the most accomplished football players in college, and he continued to shine in the NFL, although he could never win a Vince Lombardy Trophy.
Cam Newton goes viral for telling high school players a harsh reality about college football
As one of the nation’s top high school football recruits in 2007, he originally attended the University of Florida and later led Auburn University to the national title in his Heisman Award-winning season of 2010.
Newton was selected by the Carolina Panthers with the first pick in the 2011 NFL draft, and immediately became one of the league’s stars. At the end of his 2015 MVP season, he led the franchise to an appearance in Super Bowl 50, which he lost against the legendary quarterback Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.

Cam Newton goes viral for strong message
Cam Newton keeps it real with young aspiring players that want to become professional football stars in the near future. In a resurfaced video from 2023, former NFL MVP delivered a raw message to high school athletes about what it really takes to make it in college football. No sugarcoating, just the truth.
Micah Parsons looks weak as he’s held back by a sumo wrestler without even trying
Newton told the students not to get hyped by visits from top coaches like legendary Nick Saban or Kirby Smart. He reminded them that it’s the players who need the opportunity more, not the other way around. His words cut deep, but landed hard.
Cam also warned against chasing clout online, saying real talent doesn’t need to go viral. It’s a reality check that’s sparking big conversations-and proving once again that Newton doesn’t hold back when it comes to telling younger generations what it takes to make it in the NFL.
Will Cam make it to the Hall of Fame?
NFL Players are eligible for the Hall of Fame once they’re five full seasons past their playing days, so Cam Newton would be up for discussion for the Class of 2027. While there’s no reason to believe Newton will cruise through the process easily – no discussion of his on-field talent or larger-than-life personality has ever been simple – his resume dictates that he be considered.
Having an MVP award on his mantel is a big first step, along with the more subjective argument that he did things no one else has ever done. He was the first rookie to throw for 4,000 yards in a season, and he’s the league’s all-time leader in rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (75).
The list of two-way quarterback records he’s set is long, and his impact on the Panthers was undeniable after being the first pick in the 2011 draft. His own injury-shortened career could work against him, especially with a long list of deserving quarterbacks on the way to the committee’s docket in the coming years, with Manning (2025), along with Philip Rivers and Drew Brees (2026) coming soon.

Thames RC 'A' vs De Hoop

Thames RC ‘A’ vs De Hoop: A HRR rivalry with three wins in three years for the Tideway club
Three years, three races, one result – we dig into this enduring, international battle between the booms

Credit: AllMarkOne
Koninklijke Amsterdamsche Roei-en Zeilvereeniging ‘De Hoop’ of the Netherlands and Thames RC have gone up against each other in Thames Challenge Cup semi-finals and finals for the last three years. Each year Thames has had the edge.
“The story itself has some nice nuances to it,” said Thames RC Club Captain Tom Foad. Tom had been coached by De Hoop’s coach Jeroen van der Kall when he was at Thames RC between 2019 and 2022. “Our Head Coach, Sander Smulders also used to coach at De Hoop, so there’s a connection between the two clubs.”
The clubs have created what Tom calls a “friendly rivalry”.
“I think what’s really cool over the last three years is that before 2022, De Hoop were relatively unknown here. What’s been really cool over the last few years is we’ve seen their progression. Each year they keep coming back. This year, they were actually probably one of the favourites.”
2023 Thames Challenge Cup Final
In 2023, under sunny skies, Thames RC ‘A’ lined up against De Hoop for the first time, in the final of the Thames Cup.
Patrick Tawns was stroke of the boat. “We’d come off the back of losing to Molesey BC in 2022 by ⅔ of a length. We all got phone calls from Jamie Brown that summer – we didn’t have a paid coach, he said; ‘I’ll take control, as a volunteer.’ He asked us what we wanted from that season – we told him we wanted to win the Thames Cup.”
“I think that’s a very rare thing, being able to enjoy a Henley final.”
The Dutch crew had taken out Thames’ B crew on the Friday by ¾ of a length and Leander Club by the same distance on the Saturday. Thames RC ‘A’ had faced Sydney RC, Australia in their semi final – a brilliant race by all accounts, with a result of 1 ¼ lengths win for the Tideway Club.
Joe Bright was in six seat of the Thames boat. “We raced Sydney before – we had never raced these guys. We assumed they would be quick out the start and we were down at the end of the Island, but we knew the middle three minutes of our race were really quick – they couldn’t hold onto us after that.”
“I left my breakfast outside the boat tents before the Sydney race,” Patrick recalls. “But we executed the perfect race. We expected it to be closer – winning by clear water was quite nice.”
Patrick watched as his competition boated for the final. “I thought the way they carried their boat out was quite impressive.”
After the Island, it was smooth sailing for Thames RC. “By the time we hit Remenham it sunk in that we were two minutes out from winning Henley. We just tried to commit it all to memory – because you want to remember this moment for the rest of your life.”
Patrick agreed; “I think that’s a very rare thing, being able to enjoy a Henley final.”
“We stopped thinking about the rowing, stopped concentrating on it. Watching it back,” Joe laughs, “it’s probably one of our weaker races! but going into the Enclosures, we started to tighten up again to show everyone what we could do. Our cox’s voice started to break. I started thinking – what do I do when I cross the line?!”
3 ¾ lengths was the final verdict, with Thames cruising across the line in style.
2024 Thames Challenge Cup Final
“Unfortunately, we didn’t have as easy a time of it in 2024.” said Andy Thomas, seven seat in the boat the following year.
Domestically, Thames RC had tough competition leading into the Regatta from London RC. They’d lost to them at Wallingford, Metropolitan and Marlow Regatta – and met them in the semi-final. “It was a tough race – credit to those guys. Then we had to switch on for the final.”
“I remember quite vividly through the final, just thinking, man, I wish these guys would go away!” De Hoop stuck to Thames RC the entire way down the course, passing an extremely damp line of spectators on a biblically rainy Sunday.
Andy had been coached by Jeroen van der Kall. “We knew each other’s programmes fairly well, a similar style of racing. I didn’t have a moment during the race where I thought, okay, we have this.”
Andy was alongside his competition for most of the race. “They are very impressive guys, a classy outfit. They stepped on from the year before. Full credit to them for pushing us all the way.”
2025 Thames Challenge Cup Semi Final
Rainy weather greeted spectators on the Saturday of Henley Royal Regatta 2025. Cafe Regatta was filled to the brim with white and red-trimmed Thames RC blazers, eyes glued to the screens, tense seated rowers asking their taller, standing club mates to duck to clear the view path.
De Hoop were “the pick of the regatta” for Grace Prendegast commentating – Piotr Golawski backed the ‘revolution’ led by Ben Lewis, but mentioned that the Dutch believed they were the stronger crew.
It was close from the start. Thames RC had pulled a length ahead by the time the boats passed Remenham Club, at the ¾ mile mark, the overlap was minimal. They soon broke clean.
“They haven’t responded.” Grace said as Thames entered the enclosures and grew their lead once more. The banks roared for the home crew – and took their place in the final at a distance of 1 ¼ lengths.
The future
Thames RC will face London RC in the final tomorrow, out for redemption after losing to Thames RC in last year’s semi final. “We know that both these crews on their day are just phenomenal crews. Our crew will stay calm amongst the pressure, to try to deliver that kind of race-winning performance. It might go absolutely down to the wire.”
And what’s next for De Hoop? “I think they’ll actually keep getting stronger and stronger as they keep going back to Henley, keep getting involved in like these really close races and producing good performances.” Said Tom.
“And for us, ultimately that’s good. It really keeps us on our toes, because we’ve got this up and coming club, which is gonna kind of keep challenging us year on year. And that’s just a testament to the Regatta itself just to have these really high quality crews that come from not just the Netherlands, but all across the world.”
“We hope they keep coming.” Tom smiled. “We hope we stay ahead of them.
