Argentina’s first squad without Lionel Messi also leaves out his Inter Miami teammate Rodrigo De Paul

Lionel Scaloni unveils Argentina’s first post‑Messi squad, naming 28 players for November friendlies against Uruguay (Nov 13, La Bombonera) and Costa Rica (Nov 17, Córdoba). The list omits long‑time midfielders Rodrigo De Paul and Giovani Lo Celso as part of a generational overhaul, while promoting youngsters like Ezequiel Fernández, Máximo Perrone and Valentín Barco. Additional absences stem from injuries – Lautaro Martínez, Cristian Romero, Nicolás González – and suspensions affecting Leandro Paredes and Nahuel Molina. Scaloni signals a new era, but veterans could return if club form improves.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had very high praise for Luka Dončić after Lakers win over Heat

Luka Dončić dazzles in a 138-117 Lakers win over the Miami Heat, pouring in 42 points, 13 assists, seven rebounds and two steals. After a slow start to the season, he’s now averaging 43.4 points and 8.6 assists over his last five games. Post‑game, Giannis Antetokounmpo lauds Dončić, calling him “one of the best scorers to ever play this game, if not the best” and insisting the praise applies to all time, not just “right now.” The Lakers look to extend the streak against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.

Blackhawks Place Byram On Injured Reserve, Recall Forward For Road Trip

The Blackhawks place defenseman Bowen Byram on injured reserve (retroactive to Oct. 15) and recall AHL forward Dillon Boucher for their three‑game road trip. Byram, 25, has missed the last eight games with an upper‑body injury and remains medically cleared by a specialist, making his return uncertain for the Panthers, Lightning and Hurricanes matchups. Meanwhile, captain Patrick Kane also sits out with an upper‑body issue, prompting Chicago to add the 29‑year‑old, physical Boucher—who has yet to debut in the NHL—from the Rockford IceHogs. The team sits 4‑10‑1 after a six‑loss streak.

Miami Dolphins: Deux et Machina, not for us!

The Phinsider rips the officiating and sloppy play that kept the Miami Dolphins from beating the New England Patriots on Nov. 1, 2026. After two “half‑games” the Dolphins fell short despite a hard‑fought effort, with Patriots’ DeMario Douglas scoring a TD. Writer decries biased calls—labeling a controversial first‑down as a “Deux et Machina” moment—and laments the team’s inability to gain short-yardage runs, while praising modest O‑line improvements. Special‑teams woes, including a missed field‑goal, also hurt Miami. The piece blends frustration over NFL referees with a gritty look at the Dolphins’ on‑field shortcomings.

Why DeMarcus Cousins’ ‘gut‘ is telling him Giannis Antetokounmp will go back to Bucks after 1 season

Former NBA star DeMarcus Cousins predicts Giannis Antetokounmpo may return to the Milwaukee Bucks after just one season with the Miami Heat. Despite the Heat’s 2‑5 start and Giannis’s solid 28.4 points, 12.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game, Cousins says his gut feels the Greek Freak never wanted to leave Milwaukee, especially as the Bucks have built a young, asset‑rich roster. Giannis holds a player option to become a free agent after 2026‑27, and he hasn’t ruled out a Bucks comeback, echoing past player returns like Kevin Garnett’s. The article explores whether the Heat can retain him beyond this rocky start.

Brian Burke calls out Toronto market for turning on Sergei Bobrovsky so quickly: Leafs Morning Take

The Leafs face a brutal November stretch with eight of their next nine games at home against Utah, Montreal, New Jersey, Colorado, Minnesota and Edmonton.

Patriots Power Rankings Week 9: Pats hold their ground

The Patriots rebound from a shaky first half to beat the Miami Dolphins, keeping their Week 9 power‑ranking around 10th‑11th despite injury woes. Quarterback Drake Maye continues his MVP‑type streak with 11 TDs and only one interception over the past four games, while the defense remains stout, allowing 30+ points just once this season. Experts debate the Patriots' placement: USA Today ranks them 5th, Sporting News 10th, and FOX Sports 10th, citing healthy‑line concerns and the return of A.J. Brown. With a home showdown against the Packers looming, New England needs to stay healthy to stay competitive in the AFC East.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s brutally honest confession on Heat’s contender status after blowout loss to Lakers

After a 138-117 blowout to the Lakers, the Miami Heat sit 2-5 and star Giannis Antetokounmpo admits the team isn’t a sure‑fire contender yet. Giannis posted 30 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists, while Bam Adebayo added 16 points and nine boards, but the loss highlighted defensive lapses as the Lakers shot 57% and hit 19 threes. When asked about the Heat’s contender status, Antetokounmpo said he’s “just a basketball player” focused on competing, acknowledging the talent but noting many pieces still need sorting. Adebayo echoes the sentiment, stressing the need to transform individual defense into cohesive team defense before Miami can become great. The Heat aim to rebound against the Clippers on Wednesday.

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Paul Quantrill

On November 3, 2026 Pinstripe Alley honors former Yankee reliever Paul Quantrill, born Nov. 3, 1968 in Ontario. After debuting with Boston in 1992, Quantrill forged a 14‑year MLB career, most notably as a workhorse out of the Toronto bullpen (league‑leading appearances in 2001) and later with the Yankees, where he logged 86 games in 2004 and posted a 3.26 ERA before fatigue surged, culminating in a costly walk‑off home run to David Ortiz in the ALCS. He finished his stint with brief stops in San Diego and Miami, and also represented Canada internationally. The piece traces his journey from college standout to the “appearance king” and reflects on the toll of heavy usage on relievers.

Red Wings’ Michael Brandsegg-Nygard boosts early Calder case with historic game-winner

Michael Brandsegg‑Nygard sparks the Detroit Red Wings’ 5-3 win over the Florida Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena, scoring the game‑winner and adding an assist. The 21‑year‑old rookie becomes the youngest Norwegian ever to net a winning goal and joins a short list of Norwegian players with such feats. With 10 points in 15 games, he now sits tied for third among rookies, bolstering his Calder Trophy case behind James Hagens and Gavin McKenna. Detroit improves to 7‑5‑3, still last in the Atlantic but having won six of their last ten, and aims for back‑to‑back victories against Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Patriots vs. Dolphins reactions and review: Tuesday Thoughts With The Earl

In Week 8, the Miami Dolphins squandered a 13‑3 halftime lead to fall 24‑19 to the New England Patriots. Quarterback Tua Willis wasn’t the main culprit—he spread the ball to nine targets and kept the offense competitive—while the O line struggled early, allowing five sacks. The real issue, according to The Phinsider’s Earl, is the defense: a porous secondary that’s letting 76.9% of passes complete (on pace for the worst ever) and a run defense that, despite decent YPA allowed, faces a high volume of attempts. Poor third‑down conversion (50.6%) and a lack of forced punts (second‑worst) also hurt, leaving the Dolphins unable to close out games.

2026 Atlanta Braves Player Review: Rolddy Munoz

Rolddy Munoz’s 2026 Braves stint reads like a literal “cup of coffee.” Signed as a $30,000 international free agent in 2019, he finally reached Triple‑A in 2025 and earned a September call‑up that year, posting a modest 4.00 FIP. On April 13, 2026, Munoz was promoted for a single game against the Miami Marlins. He surrendered a leadoff homer to Connor Norby, endured a chaotic first inning, but rebounded with two strikeouts in the second before the Braves fell 10‑4. The outing left him with an 8.00+ FIP and –0.1 fWAR, and he was optioned back to the minors. While his minor‑league line stays in the mid‑3.00s over 55⅓ innings, his slider shows promise yet lacks command. The 2027 outlook hints he may be a trade piece or a 40‑man roster casualty unless he breaks through.
