Warriors forward Drayball Green defends his ejection after a third‑quarter clash with the Phoenix Suns in a 116‑113 win at Chase Center on Nov. 5, 2026.

Daniel Jones, Anthony Richardson React to NFL Trade Rumors in New Video Amid Colts' Struggles
The Indianapolis Colts are conducting a fire sale as Tuesday's trade deadline draws closer.

Could the 49ers make a deal with the Texans again for a defensive lineman?
The San Francisco 49ers may strike a fourth trade with the Houston Texans before the deadline, swapping a 2028 sixth‑round pick for a 2027 seventh‑rounder to acquire veteran edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney. After adding DeForest Buckner, the Niners still rank 21st in NFL pressure rate and need cheap depth on the line and a wide receiver. Clowney, 33, has seen limited snaps this season (nine pressures on 78 snaps) but offers veteran leadership and a low‑cost rotation upgrade. The move would cost the 49ers minimal draft capital while potentially bolstering their pass rush ahead of a playoff push.

Smith, averaging 11.0 points and 7.8 rebounds, has been filling in for the injured Nic Claxton and is linked to a possible trade to Golden State.

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Johnny Damon
Johnny Damon, born November 5, 1973, spends his Yankees chapter (2006‑09) under the spotlight in Pinstripe Alley’s “Birthday of the Day.” The article traces his path from a Kansas Army base to a top high‑school prospect, his rise with the Royals (65 HR, 156 SB, 136 runs in 2005), a brief Oakland stint, and Red Sox glory that helped end the Curse of the Bambino in 2004. Damon signs a four‑year, $52 million deal with New York in December 2005, trims his beard, and posts a .285 average with 24 homers in 2006, joining Gehrig and Musial with nine straight 100‑run seasons. While his later Yankees years see fluctuating roles and playoff exits, his durability remains notable, highlighted by his first career DL stint in 2008.
Sharks star Macklin Celebrini refuses to disclose message from players-only meeting

Teammates like forward Kiefer Sherwood cited a lack of on‑ice chemistry, while coach Ryan Warsofsky praised the players’ initiative.

Commanders – Nick Cross: greatest defensive alignment diversity in NFL
Washington safety Nick Cross boasts the NFL’s greatest defensive alignment diversity, according to SumerSports data through Week 8. Defensive coordinator Daronte Jones uses Cross in everything from box‑run stopper and blitzer to deep safety and nickel roles, letting the Commanders shift schemes without substituting players. Cross earned his two highest PFF grades against the 49ers and Eagles, excelling in run defense and tackling, while his coverage work yields a modest 56.2 grade on 10 receptions allowed. His versatility could reduce the need for a dedicated nickel corner, giving GM Adam Peters more roster flexibility. Analysts also note Cross as a potential trade asset, though his leadership makes a move unlikely before playoffs.
