C.J. Gardner-Johnson's spitting incident is his final act with Bills as Buffalo releases veteran safety Original
The Bills are the AFC's best team, by record, but they are cutting ties with a starter just seven games into the season. Buffalo released safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson on Tuesday, just as his one-game suspension for spitting in the direction of an opposing player was ending. The veteran started his first six games with the Bills before sitting out against the Ravens while suspended. Gardner-Johnson could've returned for Week 8, but Buffalo is going in a different direction with its secondary.

Wizards' AJ Dybantsa earns high praise from NBA expert after debut Original
AJ Dybantsa's NBA career is only three games old, thanks to an ankle injury that kept him off the court to start the season, but the No. 1 pick is already turning heads. Dybantsa shot 8-of-12 in his NBA debut against the Cavaliers and followed it up with some strong performances, including the first 20-point game of his career in a win over the Magic. The 19-year-old is giving Wizards fans hope that the franchise has turned a corner, and it's not just Wizards fans taking note.
Why it took 2 years for Tom Brady to call his first Patriots game with Fox Original
For the first time as a broadcaster, Tom Brady is returning to where he spent the bulk of his legendary career. Brady and broadcast partner Kevin Burkhardt will call the Patriots' game against the Packers in Foxborough on Sunday, marking the return of the franchise's most iconic player six years after he left for Tampa Bay. Brady has been back to Gillette Stadium since leaving in 2020, as he played a game against the Patriots in 2021 and was honored by the team in 2023.
Ravens QB depth chart: Who will replace Lamar Jackson on 'Thursday Night Football'?
The Ravens are still afloat in the AFC at .500, but they are in a dark place at the moment. Not only is Baltimore the only AFC team to start more than one quarterback this season, but injuries are set to force the Ravens to turn to a third quarterback against the Jaguars on "Thursday Night Football." In a crowded AFC North, the long-term absence of Lamar Jackson could be a death sentence for a team that started the season with Super Bowl expectations.
'Why are you singling me out?': Kevin Durant gets into tense exchange with reporter Original
The Rockets are rolling to start the season, sitting 7-1 after a big win over the Celtics, but Kevin Durant isn't all smiles. Durant took issue with a question from a reporter after Monday's win, getting into a heated conversation over a question about his lack of shot attempts. Durant attempted only six shots in a 109-93 Rockets victory, scoring 12 points. Here's a look at the eyebrow-raising interaction between Durant and a reporter.
'I flew on that exact aircraft': Joe Mixon remembers pilots of deadly Florida airplane crash Original
A chartered private jet crashed in South Florida on Sunday, killing all nine individuals on board. The pilots, as it turns out, developed a connection with an NFL player who is now paying tribute as he makes sense of the devastating accident. Free-agent running back Joe Mixon revealed he recently flew on a plane piloted by 55-year-old Jeff Gregory and 20-year-old Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, who were at the controls when the Learjet crashed on Sunday.
College basketball rankings 2026-27: Duke, Florida, Illinois lead Sporting News preseason Top 25 Original
A few years ago, any next-season college basketball rankings before April were far too early. When the era of increased player movement began, any rankings before May were too early. This offseason, it felt like any rankings before the literal first tip-off were too early. The chaos surrounding eligibility dragged through the summer and into the fall, leaving teams with roster uncertainty right up to the start of the season.
How Bears benefitted from own delay of game penalty to secure win over Seahawks Original
They say "when it rains, it pours," but it's the opposite for the Bears right now. On Monday night, even what didn't go well turned out well for the Bears in a 34-17 win over the defending-champion Seahawks. A delay of game penalty in the fourth quarter looked like it would keep the momentum with Seattle in a one-possession game, but it instead turned into the extra chance Chicago needed to jumpstart a drive and bury the Seahawks.
LeBron James' son makes long-awaited college basketball debut for Arizona Original
LeBron James already has one son in the NBA. Is another on the way? The professional ranks might be a long way off for Bryce James, but the son of the NBA legend took a major step in his career on Monday by making his debut for Arizona. Not only did James see minutes for the first time in his college career, but he was in the starting lineup for the Wildcats in their first game since the Final Four. Here's what you need to know about James' college basketball debut.
Jeffery Simmons announces his presence with dominant start to Bears career Original
The Bears might need to win in January, at the very least, to fully validate their blockbuster trade for Jeffery Simmons, but the early returns are looking strong. Simmons looked like the dominant presence the Bears were hoping to get in the first half of his Chicago debut on Monday night, proving to be a disruptor against the Seahawks' offense.
3 stats show how dominant Pistons' defense has been to start season Original
The Pistons are off to a 5-1 start, with only a loss to the reigning-champion Knicks. Any thought that last season's No. 1 seed was a fluke is on hold, and the defense is the reason why. Detroit has locked opponents down defensively through six games, holding the 76ers, Hornets and Nets under 100 points and not allowing any opponent to reach 115 points.
Spike Lee gives candid take on whether Knicks players should be forced to go to White House Original
Will the Knicks visit the White House after winning the NBA Finals in June? That's the decision the team is still making, as no announcement has been made about a potential championship visit. Knicks coach Mike Brown said in October that a decision would be made as a team, with opportunities to visit in either December or March when New York visits the Wizards in Washington D.C. ESPN's Stephen A.
MLB trade rumors: 12 players most likely to be traded in 2026 offseason, from Ketel Marte to Jeremy Pena
The trade market could be busy around baseball this offseason for two reasons: the free-agent class simply isn't very good, and 29 teams just watched a Brewers roster comprised of players acquired via trade win the World Series. Never mind the impending lockout that will halt all transactions indefinitely starting in early December; all of the factors are in place for some movement on the trade front.
Ranking USC QBs in the NFL: How Caleb Williams, Sam Darnold compare to SoCal signal-callers all time Original
It might not be fair to call USC a quarterback factory, at least historically, but the Trojans have produced a handful of NFL starters in the 21st century. Last season, one finally broke through as a champion. Sam Darnold and the Seahawks won the Super Bowl, giving USC a Super Bowl-winning quarterback to call their own. While Darnold has a ring, other former USC quarterbacks have a case to be called the school's best NFL signal-caller.

Caleb Williams cleats controversy, explained: Why Bears QB defied NFL after fine over Caddix brand Original
Caleb Williams is undeniably one of the most popular younger players in the NFL, and he has a chance to keep elevating his profile by taking the Bears on a deep playoff run this season. Part of what has made Williams so successful is his willingness to do what he wants and go his own way. That extends to what he wears, too. Williams continues to wear cleats the NFL doesn't approve of, and fines from the league haven't stopped him yet.

Jayden Daniels snaps unbelievable drought with Commanders' win over Eagles Original
The Commanders have a long way to go to turn their season around, but Sunday night's 27-10 win over the Eagles was a necessary step. Washington scored 27 consecutive points after falling behind 10-0 in the first quarter, extending the Eagles' losing streak to six and, somehow, sticking around in NFC East contention at 2-4-1. For Jayden Daniels, the win was especially meaningful because it was a feeling he simply hadn't experienced in a long, long time.
Andy Reid disagrees with game-changing false start call: 'I didn't see it' Original
A false start erased what would've been the game-winning touchdown for the Chiefs against the Broncos on Sunday, but Kansas City's longtime coach isn't on board with the call. Reid disagreed with the officials' assessment of the movement by Jaylon Moore, whose penalty left the Chiefs with one last play from the Broncos' 6-yard line rather than the 1-yard line.

4 stats that show how bad Chargers' Justin Herbert has been in 2026 Original
There is plenty of blame to go around for the Chargers' 0-7 start, but there is no doubt it's been an ugly year for Justin Herbert. The former Pro-Bowler's numbers speak for themselves, as he has double the interceptions as he has passing touchdowns, and there just haven's been any clean games for L.A.'s offense. As offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's job comes into question, these stats show Herbert has to receive some of the blame.
Joe Burrow's career day puts Bengals QB right at front of NFL MVP conversation
It isn't often a three-interception day is a memorable one for the right reasons, but Bengals QB Joe Burrow put those turnovers behind him on Sunday and might have positioned himself as a legitimate MVP frontrunner in the process. Burrow accounted for six touchdowns in an overtime win over the Titans , answering every blow from a surprisingly plucky Tennessee and refusing to let interceptions make him less comfortable throwing the ball.
8 running backs who stole the show in Week 8, from Bhayshul Tuten and Bucky Irving to Tyler Allgeier Original
It's a good week to be a running back in the NFL. Between wet weather, early leads and just some excellent performances, a slew of running backs showed out in Week 8 to leave some fantasy owners thrilled and others devastated. Not every running back who shined in Week 8 is a name you might expect. Tyler Allgeier had his best game as a Cardinal, while Braelon Allen reminded the Jets that Breece Hall isn't the only running back in green who can rack up yards.
Youngest F1 world champions: How Kimi Antonelli's record-breaking title compares to Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, other drivers Original
Youth is the name of the game right now in Formula 1 racing. Italy's Andrea Kimi Antonelli won the F1 world title at just 20 years old, and it wasn't particularly close — he had a chance to win as early as the United States Grand Prix, where he walked away with a 123-point lead in the standings and only 125 remaining overall. At his age, Antonelli is a history-maker for more reasons than one. Here's a look at where he ranks among the youngest F1 world champions.
Why Florida State fired coach Mike Norvell despite massive buyout Original
After nearly seven seasons, Florida State is making a head coaching change. The Seminoles fired coach Mike Norvell on Sunday, a day after a loss to Clemson but only three years removed from an undefeated regular season that ended with a controversial exclusion from the College Football Playoff. Norvell, who went 41-39 in Tallahassee, had a buyout of more than $50 million before Florida State made the decision. Here's what you need to know about Norvell's exit in Tallahassee.

Week 8 in the NFL features some highly consequential games in the Sunday afternoon windows, including an AFC showdown that could be a playoff preview. The Bills host the Ravens, with Lamar Jackson expected back for Baltimore and Buffalo looking to assert itself as the top team in the conference.
