Yankees give pitching coach Matt Blake a three-year extension, per @JonHeyman
Yankees had a 3.23 team ERA this year. That's their best in a full season since 1978, when they had a 3.18 ERA and went on to win the World Series
#Giants LB Tremaine Edmunds will miss the rest of the 2026 NFL season with a shoulder injury, per @DDuggan21.
Signed this offseason to a 3-year, $36M contract, Edmunds started all six games and played every defensive snap. Another big loss for NYG.
Omar Cooper Jr. became the third Jets rookie to win Rookie of the Week honors this season. Cooper, Kenyon Sadiq and David Bailey have all won the award in the first 6 weeks of the season.
Former Lakers forward Dalton Knecht has agreed to sign with the New York Knicks on a two-way NBA contract, his agents at Excel Sports Management tell ESPN.
The New York Jets are the only team in the NFL to have multiple Rookie of the Week winners:
- Omar Cooper Jr. (Week 6)
- David Bailey (Week 5)
- Kenyon Sadiq (Week 3)
The future is bright in New York ✈️

“The only reason we give a damn about him is because of who his father was.”
@stephenasmith gives a bold statement about Hal Steinbrenner and the Yankees 🗣️
The #Bears will give out fake mustaches to all fans Thursday night ahead of their game vs. the #Patriots as part of their plan to honor former player and coach Mike Ditka, who died earlier this month, per @SunTimes.
Tonight is Chicago’s first home game since Ditka's passing.
What Hal said following every season since 2020:
2020:
“Our offense—just inconsistent at playing up to their potential, to me. … You couldn’t tell which offense was going to show up.”
2021:
“The majority of the responsibility, whether it's the responsibility of inconsistent offense or bad baserunning, etc., that responsibility lies with the players.”
2022:
“Aaron Boone wasn’t responsible for our offense, the slide they experienced the last couple months of the season rolling into the postseason.”
2023:
“We did not get where we needed to be with run production—it was probably our biggest problem.”
2024:
“We did not play a clean World Series."
2025:
“This Toronto series was on the players. It’s on the players’ shoulders, period. They didn’t hit."
2026:
“The majority of the responsibility … lies with the position players and the inability to score on a consistent basis.”
Just in: CBS and JJ Watt have agreed to a multi-year contract to keep him as the network’s No. 1 NFL game analyst alongside Jim Nantz.
Watt will continue to call the Network’s top games, including next season when they call Super Bowl LXII in Atlanta.
This is why the NBA sucks. This is perfect defense and the refs reward the guy who gets nowhere with his dribble, lowers his shoulder to create space, and flails his arms after his release. Garbage basketball. Garbage refs.
Draymond Green thinks Jalen Brunson will win MVP this season:
“I’m going to go Jalen Brunson. He's the type of dude that's convinced himself all summer that like 'they don't respect me, and I won a championship, and they still don't respect me.'”
