Geno Smith gets earful from Garrett Wilson in New York Jets loss to Miami Dolphins ahead of Las Vegas Raiders matchup

In Week 7, the New York Jets fall 28-25 to the Miami Dolphins as Geno Smith posts a solid 23‑30, 287‑yard, three‑TD performance, but faces criticism from teammate Garrett Wilson, who vents frustration over limited targets in the fourth quarter. The loss leaves both the Jets and upcoming opponent Las Vegas Raiders scrambling for playoff relevance ahead of their clash in New York. Meanwhile, Giants tackle Jermaine Eluemunor maintains a 96.7% pass‑block win rate despite recent pressures, and Raiders RB Josh Jacobs returns from legal trouble, recording a 55‑yard, one‑TD effort in a 20-17 loss to the Packers. The article highlights the personal storylines shaping the teams' fortunes.

Rays-Brewers Game 1 viewership beats recent non-Dodgers World Series

Game 1 of the 2026 World Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers draws 12.2 million viewers on Fox and Univision, surpassing all non‑Dodgers finals this decade. Though lower than last year’s 13.3 million Dodgers‑Blue Jays opener and the 2024 record 15.2 million Dodgers‑Yankees game, the audience tops the 2023 Rangers‑Diamondbacks (9.4 million) and exceeds 2022 (11.7 million) and 2021 (11.1 million) viewership. Peaks reach just over 13 million, and upcoming Nielsen Big Data figures could push the total higher. The strong Friday start suggests growing interest despite the Rays and Brewers lacking broad national appeal.

Giants’ perfect Jonathan Taylor trade offer to Colts before NFL trade deadline

The Indianapolis Colts, sitting 2-5, may consider trading star RB Jonathan Taylor before the Nov. 10 deadline, despite recent comments that he plans to stay. The New York Giants, fresh off a 27‑21 OT win that puts them 4‑2‑1, are rumored to offer Devin Singletary, a 2027 first‑round pick and a 2028 fourth‑rounder for Taylor. Taylor, under a two‑year, $44 M extension through 2028, has logged 587 rushing yards and eight TDs this season. The deal would give the Colts draft capital while providing the Giants a proven back to stabilize an offense shaken by injuries at quarterback.

Giants’ Cam Skattebo Draws Drew Brees’ ‘Are You Kidding Me?’ Reaction After Flag vs. Texans

New York Giants rookie Cam Skattebo draws a rare unnecessary‑roughness flag for lowering his helmet during a 5:17‑into‑the‑first‑quarter run against the Houston Texans, wiping out a seven‑yard gain and costing the Giants 15 yards. Former quarterback Drew Brees blasted the call on Instagram, calling it “textbook tough physical run.” Former players Jacob Hester and Scott Shanle joined the outcry, while coach John Harbaugh also disagreed. Despite the controversy, Skattebo posted 124 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries, helping the Giants beat Houston 27‑21 and improve to 4‑2‑1.

Astros To Interview Mike Rizzo For GM Vacancy

The Houston Astros are set to interview longtime Washington Nationals GM Mike Rizzo on Monday for their vacant general manager role, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale. Rizzo, who led the Nats to a World Series title in 2019, is the most seasoned candidate among a pool that includes Brewers assistant GM Matt Kleine (who has already met with Houston), White Sox assistant Josh Barfield, Cardinals assistant Randy Flores, Royals SVP Scott Sharp, and Braves assistant Ben Sestanovich, as well as Astros assistants Charles Cook and Gavin Dickey. At 65, Rizzo brings proven success but faces questions about his adaptability to modern analytics, while younger contenders offer fresh perspectives.

Ex-NY Rangers HC Peter Laviolette casts Chris Drury, front office in a bad light

Returning to Madison Square Garden as Los Angeles Kings head coach, Peter Laviolette used his press conference to jab at Rangers GM Chris Drury and the front office. Laviolette highlighted his two‑year stint with New York—record‑setting wins, a Presidents’ Trophy and an Eastern Conference Final run in 2023‑24, followed by a disappointing 2024‑25 season and his firing despite the success. He pointed to the “flurry of trades” and internal issues that plagued the Rangers after his departure, signaling lingering bad blood ahead of the Kings‑Rangers matchup in the 2026‑27 season. Meanwhile, Mike Sullivan enters his second year behind the Rangers bench after replacing Laviolette.

Oh my, the Houston Texans have been one of the NFL’s most disappointing teams. And silly penalties are part of the problem. The panic meter is bulging. Can the Texans’ defense rediscover its elite 2025 form after yet another brutal performance? The Texans couldn’t solve JJ McCarthy and the Giants in a 27-21 overtime loss […] The post Texans panic meter: Can Houston’s defense rediscover elite 2025 form after another brutal performance? appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Tigers Projected To Target 5-Time All-Star To Replace Tarik Skubal

The Detroit Tigers, unable to match Tarik Skubal’s $400 million free‑agency price, are eyeing a blockbuster trade for veteran right‑hander Jacob de Grom, according to Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller. The 38‑year‑old two‑time Cy Young winner and five‑time All‑Star, who posted a 3.44 ERA over 61 starts with the Texas Rangers, carries a $37 million salary for 2027 that the Tigers could afford. While de Grom has a full no‑trade clause and previously rebuffed a move to Atlanta, Detroit hopes he might fill the rotation void left by Skubal. He boasts a career 2.73 ERA and could be Detroit’s “prime target” for the 2027 season.

Adrian Morejon could give the Yankees more than a new closer

The article argues that the Yankees should target reliever Adrian Morejon, a 50‑year‑old Padres free agent who logged 86 innings with a 2.83 ERA in 2026, rather than simply replacing closer David Bednar. Morejon appeared in 76 games, struck out 107 batters (30.4% K rate) and issued only 28 walks (8.0% BB rate), adding 28 holds. He proved versatile, limiting left‑handed hitters to a .461 OPS and right‑handed hitters to a .609 OPS, making him useful beyond a traditional left‑handed specialist role. While his 86‑inning workload isn’t guaranteed for next season and his price is unknown, the piece suggests he would give New York valuable flexibility in the bullpen.

2027 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List introduction and nominees

The McCovey Chronicles revives the Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List for the San Francisco Giants, inviting fans to rank the top 44 rookie‑eligible prospects in the organization. After a disappointing 2026 season, the community voting will run on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with nominees posted in the comments and votes cast via the “rec” feature. Seven players start the poll, narrowing to four before new nominees are added, and any mid‑season acquisitions will be voted on separately. Graduated players like Bryce Eldridge and Jonah Cox are now ineligible. The initiative promises lively debate and fan‑driven insight into the Giants’ farm system.

Kewan Lacy out for Auburn game with dislocated shoulder

Ole Miss junior running back Kewan Lacy suffers a dislocated shoulder in the Texas game and will miss the upcoming matchup against Auburn, coach Pete Golding said. Lacy, who has logged 388 rushing yards and five touchdowns this season after a 1,500-yard campaign last year, may face a longer recovery pending MRI results. With Lacy sidelined, backs Makhi Frazier, JT Lindsey and Shekai Mills‑Knight are expected to share carries this weekend. The injury adds uncertainty to Ole Miss' College Football Playoff hopes, as the team already has experience playing without their star RB.

Mets reportedly adding Mariano Duncan to coaching staff

The New York Post reports that the New York Mets will add former utility man Mariano Duncan to Andy Green’s major‑league coaching staff. Duncan, 63, joins after seven years in the Mets’ minor‑league system, including stints as hitting coach for the Rookie‑level Kingsport Mets and bench coach at High‑A Brooklyn and Double‑A Binghamton. He’s slated to work with the position‑player group, having coached seven current 40‑man roster players such as Brett Baty and Francisco Alvarez. Duncan’s 12‑year MLB career featured two World Series rings (1990 Reds, 1996 Yankees) and an All‑Star nod in 1994. The Mets still have a few coaching slots open ahead of Spring Training.

Miguel Rojas, the epitome of heart and hustle, is up for an award of same name

The article highlights his leadership role, praised by Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Andrew Friedman, and recalls his key moments: a ninth‑inning Game 7 home run in the 2025 World Series and back‑to‑back championships in 2024‑25. Rojas also became the first Dodger to win the Roy Campanella Award three straight years. After a NLCS loss to the Brewers on Oct. 15, teammates laud his “heart, hustle, and impact” on the club’s culture, urging fans to vote for him.
