Pedro Martínez clinched his first NL Cy Young Award on Nov. 11, 1997, becoming the first Expos player and the first Dominican pitcher to win the honor. He posted a 17-8 record with a league‑best 1.90 ERA, 13 complete games, a 0.932 WHIP and 305 strikeouts—the first Latin American to surpass 300 Ks in a season. Despite the triumph, Montreal traded him to the Red Sox a week later. Martínez would later add two more Cy Youngs (1999, 2000) and enter the Hall of Fame in 2015, cementing his legacy as one of baseball’s all‑time greats.

After a 2‑5 start, the Houston Texans head into a pivotal stretch following their bye week. Sitting 11th in the AFC, they're 2.5 games behind the Jaguars for the last playoff spot and 2.5 games back of New England for the Wild Card. With three home division games left but a 0‑4 home record, the Texans rely on a 2‑1 road record and a tough November schedule that includes a win‑or‑die clash at the LA Chargers, trips to Cleveland and the Baltimore Ravens, and a home showdown with the Colts. Quarterback C.J. Stroud’s play and potential trade moves—like targeting Danielle Hunter—could shape their chances to stay in the draft top‑10 and keep playoff hopes alive. The next two weeks will determine if the bye’s adjustments translate into a surge or signal a rebuild.

Boston rookie James Hagens is surpassing expectations, leading all NHL rookies with 12 points in 16 games and tying for the most rookie goals (six) while ranking second on the Bruins. Playing the third line with Elias Lindholm and Casey Mittelstadt, he thrives in high‑danger areas, scoring four goals within seven feet of the net and leading forwards with 16 blocked shots. Coach Marco Sturm praises his development but urges patience, noting Hagens still has room to grow after 18 regular‑season games. The line boasts a 54.95% shot share and a 7‑2 scoring edge, helping shut down opponents like Macklin Celebrini and Jack Eichel.
After the Houston Rockets' 109-93 win over the Boston Celtics, Kevin Durant fended off a reporter who questioned his low shooting volume. Former NBA center DeMarcus Cousins stepped in, calling the query "dumbass" and defending Durant’s role as a decoy who drew defensive attention to benefit teammates like Jabari Smith Jr. Cousins argued that the focus on individual stats missed the bigger picture of team success, especially in a game where Durant posted just 12 points on eight shots. The exchange highlights ongoing tension between players and media over how contributions are evaluated.
Tom Brady says his upcoming broadcast visit to Foxborough this Sunday will be “certainly emotional,” recalling countless locker‑room moments and championship games as he joins Kevin Burkhardt to call the Patriots‑Packers matchup on Fox. He praised coach Mike Vrabel’s turnaround and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels for turning rookie QB Drake Maye into an MVP candidate, while noting the rarity of an AFC‑NFC clash. Fox, which pays Brady about $38 million annually, is promoting his return with a special commercial, sparking social‑media debate over whether he’s a Patriots homer or impartial commentator.

Payton Pritchard needs to contribute a lot more on the court than he has so far this season for the Boston Celtics.
A SB Nation Reacts poll asks Jaguars fans to name the AFC team that poses the biggest threat to Jacksonville’s playoff run. After eight weeks, the Bills sit atop the conference (6‑1) followed by the Broncos (6‑2) and Steelers (6‑2). The Jaguars sit fourth at 5‑2. Trevor Lawrence’s record shows a split with Buffalo (2‑2), wins over Pittsburgh (1‑0) and New England (2‑1), but a 1‑3 slump against Denver, Cincinnati and Kansas City.

The Boston Red Sox earned a spot in the American League playoffs last season, but based on their overall performance, they did not have a complete season.

After many immediately declared trading for him a mistake, Paul George has proven he is anything but for the Boston Celtics. Because of how useful he has been, it's hard to see how or why they would trade him.
The Patriots shake up their roster after releasing safety Elliott Davison, activating OT Marcus Bryant from IR and cutting CB Kindle Vildor. Bryant, now the fifth offensive tackle on the 53-man roster, gives New England depth ahead of his 21‑day window closing, while the team still has one roster spot open—likely for a soon‑to‑return IR player such as WR Mack Hollins. Vildor, who saw only 13 special‑team snaps against Miami, is let go as cornerback Carlton Davis returns from injury, leaving a six‑man cornerback group that may re‑add Vildor to the practice squad. The moves highlight New England’s flexibility on both the line and secondary as they prepare for upcoming injuries.

The matchup tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET at TD Garden.
