Auburn Basketball fires GM Brian Kloman after Mantas Rubstavicius eligibility controversy

Auburn fires basketball GM Brian Kloman after he failed to disclose international guard Mantas Rubstavicius' prior college coursework in Lithuania, which jeopardized the player's eligibility. The oversight led Auburn to drop its lawsuit seeking Rubstavicius' clearance and the guard opted for a European career.

Oilers’ Jake Walman set to be healthy-scratched against Flames

Edmonton’s $7 million defenseman Jake Walman is a healthy scratch for Wednesday’s matchup with the Calgary Flames. After a modest 13:16 ice stint against Detroit and the lowest regular‑season minutes of his career (second‑lowest at 13:16, behind a 9‑7 win over Vancouver), coach Mike Babcock says the decision is purely performance‑based. Walman has missed three games due to injury and has been outscored 10‑3 in his 109 five‑on‑five minutes, posting a 5.5 goals‑against‑per‑hour rate—the worst among defensemen with over 100 minutes. The move comes as he enters the first year of a seven‑year, $7 M AAV contract with a full no‑movement clause.

Griffin, now a Fox Sports analyst, argues he knows what it takes to win at Baylor and claims he could restore the program’s pride, despite having no coaching experience. He also mentions other plausible candidates like Boise State’s Spencer Danielson, UTSA’s Jeff Traylor and USC’s Lincoln Riley.

Green Bay Packers receive promising detail in Sean Rhyan’s high ankle sprain diagnosis

The Packers’ starting center Sean Rhyan suffers a high‑ankle sprain that will sideline him at least four weeks, but doctors don’t expect tightrope surgery, making his rehab less complex. The injury forces Green Bay to reshuffle its interior line as quarterback Jordan Love, who’s thrown for 387 yards vs Minnesota and 312 against Atlanta, relies on better protection. Love’s Week 5 performance against Chicago (80.6% completions, 367 yards, two TDs) highlights his role, yet the team must maintain line stability while Rhyan recovers. The lack of surgery offers a small boost amid ongoing offensive line challenges.

World Series Game 4 open thread

The Milwaukee Brewers enter Game 4 of the 2026 World Series with a chance to clinch their first championship in 58 years. After a dominant 8‑run fifth inning in Game 3 that forced a ninth straight win, the Brewers lead the series 3‑0 over the Tampa Bay Rays. Their regular‑season best record and a 10‑1 playoff run have left them with a fully rested bullpen and ace Jacob Misiorowski ready for a potential Game 5. Starting for the Rays is Griffin Jax, but no team has ever overturned a 3‑0 World Series deficit. The Brewers could secure the title in St. Petersburg on October 28, 2026.
