Derrick Barnes records six tackles in Detroit’s 20-17 victory over Green Bay, and George Karlaftis notches a tackle‑for‑loss and two QB hits as the Chiefs fall 20-3 to Seattle. Baker Mayfield returns for Tampa Bay, which dominates Carolina 43-13, though Payne Durham remains unused. The 49ers lose 29-20 to Atlanta despite Jalen Graham’s solo tackle, and the Raiders are beaten 35-21 by the Rams.
Despite being the “King of New York,” Knicks captain Jalen Brunson is a Philadelphia Eagles fan, and not even Giants legend Eli Manning can change that. During the Knicks star’s appearance on the ManningCast during the Week 7 game between the Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys, Eli Manning brought up his brother Peyton’s Nationwide commercial […]

Jackson Chourio made World Series history in Game 3 as the Brewers dismantled the Tampa Bay Rays 10-1 at Tropicana Field. Chourio collected seven hits in his first three Fall Classic games, tying Ty Cobb’s record for players under 23 and ranking second overall behind Billy Hatcher’s nine. He went 4-for-5 with a double, RBI and a stolen base, while Milwaukee’s pitchers—Robert Gasser, Anthony Senzatela and Brandon Woodruff—combined for nine shutout innings. The dominant win gives Milwaukee a 3-0 series lead in its first World Series appearance since 1982, boosting hopes for a championship.
Chaim Bloom thinks Jesus Baez can be the St. Louis Cardinals shortstop long-term, putting pressure on Masyn Winn to prove why he's the guy in 2027. Baez has major power and good defense that gives him a higher ceiling than what Winn has shown so far.

The Viva El Birdos piece dissects the St. Louis Cardinals’ disappointing 2026 season, blaming a lack of power and overall offensive weakness for the team’s low rankings—22nd in average and OBP, 29th in OPS, and 24th in home runs. The article notes the surprise firing of hitting coach Brant Brown and speculates on successors like Casey Chenoweth or Brandon Allen. It highlights key power players (Baez, Walker, Burleson, Bernal) and the decline of others such as Ivan Herrera and JJ Wetherholt, whose injuries and reduced ISO hurt run production. Defensive fundamentals remain a hallmark, but a shift toward swing‑and‑miss pitching under Chaim Bloom is also examined.
The Houston Astros are prioritizing a new general manager before hiring a manager, and former Washington Nationals GM Mike Rizzo has emerged as the leading candidate. Rizzo, 65, blends traditional scouting with modern analytics and is credited with drafting Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg and engineering the Juan Soto trade. His experience aligns with owner Jim Crane’s hands‑on style, suggesting he could thrive in an organization that values both data‑driven development—evidenced by recent hires from Driveline Baseball—and seasoned baseball judgment. If hired, Rizzo is expected to retain the core roster while making targeted improvements, positioning the Astros for continued competitiveness.
The Dallas Cowboys snap a 38‑21 Monday Night Football win over the Philadelphia Eagles, boosting their NFC East hopes. Running back Javonte Williams erupts for a career‑high 155 rushing yards and a touchdown on 25 carries, the team’s first 150‑yard rusher since 2018. Dallas balances its attack with 36 runs (204 yards) and a 15‑completion, 212‑yard pass effort from Dak Prescott, who throws three TDs to CeeDee Lamb (two) and George Pickens. The victory puts Dallas within striking distance of division leader New York as the race stays wide open.
Clemson’s defense generated havoc, but its offense sputtered against Virginia Tech, whose possession advantage and late‑game scoring secured the win. Clemson’s pass protection outperformed its run blocking, yet a 42% success rate, 29% third‑down conversion and 33% red‑zone efficiency left the offense in the 19th percentile EPA. Virginia Tech logged 13 tackles for loss, 15 negative plays and held a 4‑minute time‑of‑possession edge, wearing down a fatigued Clemson defense. Both teams posted identical havoc totals (15), but VT’s sustained drives and better rushing efficiency (3.71 YPC) contrasted with Clemson’s neutralized ground game in Q2 and Q4. The data underscores Clemson’s inability to protect the ball and VT’s strategic control of tempo.
The Brewers dominate Game 3 of the 2026 World Series, blasting the Rays 10-1 after an eight‑run fifth inning, putting Tampa down 3‑0 in the series. Tampa’s pitching collapses while their offense goes hitless from the second through the eighth inning. Meanwhile, the post‑game chatter drifts to ticket prices—Milwaukee’s average $2,338 versus Tampa’s $556—and fantasizes about the Orioles reaching the Fall Classic. The entry also features an Orioles in‑field recap podcast, a preview of the 2027 “wrecking crew,” and a birthday/history roundup of former Oriole players.

The Milwaukee Brewers surge to a 10-0 lead over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 3 of the 2026 World Series, giving them a 3-0 series edge. Reliever Brandon Woodruff, returning after his first appearance since July 4 and a recent shoulder surgery, pitches the ninth inning to a roar from fans, marking a full‑circle moment since his 2017 debut. Woodruff boasts a 2.98 ERA and 0.838 WHIP this season. The Brewers, chasing their first World Series title since 1982 and the city’s first baseball championship since 1957, look poised to clinch history.
Sportsnaut outlines five AL East players who could be on the trade block before the 2027 season. The Rays’ right‑hander Drew Rasmussen, fresh off a 2.67 ERA season and a 2.19 ERA in the postseason, carries a $20 million club option that makes him a hot commodity, though Tampa Bay may hesitate after losing Nick Martinez and Freddy Peralta. The Yankees may move third baseman Ryan McMahon after a disappointing .213/.279/.357 line and 11 homers, despite his solid defense and a near‑$12 million 2027 salary. The Red Sox could ship under‑performing outfielder Jarren Duran (.207, .627 OPS) to the Padres for modest return. Finally, the Orioles’ shortstop Gunnar Henderson is also flagged as a possible deal. Readers get a concise snapshot of each team’s trade dilemma and the players’ recent stats.
