***Top Sports Headlines***
>>Brewers Destroy Rays To Take 3-0 World Series Lead
(St. Petersburg, FL) — The Brewers are on the verge of claiming their first World Series in franchise history. The team obliterated the Rays 10-1 in Game Three from St. Petersburg. Milwaukee plated eight runs in the fifth inning as Jackson Chourio led the offense with four hits. Cam Booser threw gasoline onto the dumpster fire after giving up four runs and recording no outs in relief for Tampa, which will try to avoid elimination in Game Four from the Trop tonight at 7pm.
>>Cowboys Cruise Past Eagles On MNF
(Undated) — The Cowboys closed out Week Seven of the NFL by blowing out their rivals. Dallas cruised to a 38-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football from Lincoln Financial Field. Other Week Seven action included the Tampa Bay Buccaneers blowing out the Carolina Panthers and the Detroit Lions squeaking past the Green Bay Packers. The Packers and Panthers will kick off Week Eight when Green Bay hosts Carolina on Thursday Night Football at Lambeau Field.
>>Jets Head Coach Downplays Garrett Wilson Outburst
(Florham Park, NJ) — Jets head coach Aaron Glenn understands his seat is getting hotter. While acknowledging on Monday that “it’s going to get noisy” on the outside, Glenn also mentioned that wide receiver Garrett Wilson’s recent sideline outburst was “overblown” by the media. Wilson was seen barking at passing game coordinator Seth Ryan during the fourth quarter of New York’s loss to the Dolphins. Glenn insists the team is moving in the right direction despite being winless against the AFC East in his first eight matchups.
>>Giants Head Coach Objects To Skattebo Penalty
(East Rutherford, NJ) — The Giants don’t appear to be satisfied with some recent officiating. Head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that he was caught by surprise after running back Cam Skattebo was called for unnecessary roughness during New York’s recent win over the Texans. Skattebo was flagged for a personal foul after lowering his helmet into Houston safety MJ Stewart during a first quarter run. The hope from Harbaugh is that the league will enlighten them in terms of what they want them to teach.
>>Ravens Optimistic Lamar Jackson Will Return Against Bills
(Baltimore, MD) — The Ravens are hoping to get their star QB back for a pivotal matchup. Head coach Jesse Minter told the media on Monday that Lamar Jackson is in a “decent spot” ahead of Baltimore’s road-tilt against Buffalo on Sunday. Jackson has missed the last three games with a high ankle sprain and was listed as “questionable” last week. The Ravens have one of the worst offenses in the league over that three-game stretch.
>>Packers’ Franklin, Rhyan Nursing Leg Injuries
(Green Bay, WI) — The Green Bay Packers will likely head into Week Eight without two key players. Linebacker Zaire Franklin reportedly suffered a hairline fracture in his leg in practice last week, while center Sean Rhyan went down with a high-ankle sprain during Sunday’s loss to the Detroit Lions. The Pack is getting ready to play on a short week, hosting the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night.
>>Seahawks’ Cross, Shaheed Nursing Injuries
(Renton, WA) — A pair of key Seattle Seahawks are nursing injuries suffered during Sunday’s win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Left tackle Charles Cross is expected to miss time with a high-ankle sprain, likely snapping his run of 69 straight starts since he was drafted. Meantime, head coach Mike Macdonald says wide receiver Rashid Shaheed’s knee is not expected to be a long-term injury.
>>New Rule Changes Could Be Coming To MLB
(Undated) — Some new rule changes could be coming to Major League Baseball. The league is reportedly experimenting with restricting the positioning of outfielders and infielders, with the goal of boosting offensive statistics. The new rules are being tested in the Arizona Fall League. This comes as MLB has implemented new rules and changes over the past few years with the intention to move games along at a faster rate.
>>Mets’ Lindor Wins Roberto Clemente Award
(St. Petersburg, FL) — New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor is receiving one of Major League Baseball’s highest honors. He’s the winner of the 2026 Roberto Clemente Award, recognizing his philanthropic efforts in his native Puerto Rico, Florida and New York City.
>>Valkyries Take Down Dream In G5 Of WNBA Finals
(San Francisco, CA) — The Valkyries are one win away from a WNBA championship. The team took down the Dream 64-55 in Game Five of the Finals from San Francisco. Veronica Burton and Kiah Stokes netted 13 points to pace the team in scoring. Rhyne Howard sunk 20 points for Atlanta, which will try to stave-off elimination in Game Six back in Atlanta on Thursday at the Hawks’ stadium.
