The Jets have been a competitive team this season, but that isn’t enough. They continue to struggle to make the ...

Lionel Messi avoided a suspension because of the little-known MLS rule and will be available for Inter Miami.
Lionel Messi reaches five yellow cards this MLS season, but an unusual "Good Behavior Incentive" keeps him eligible for Inter Miami's upcoming match with the New England Revolution. The rule erases one yellow after five straight games without a booking, and can be used three times per season. Messi has already applied it twice, so only three cautions count toward a suspension. While speculation swirls about a possible return to Newell’s Old Boys, sources confirm he’s satisfied at Inter Miami, where he has 29 goals and 14 assists in 34 games and remains a contender for another Golden Boot and MVP.
The Oilers Nation article ranks the Edmonton Oilers' seven biggest rivals, with the Florida Panthers at #1 after beating Edmonton in the 2024 and 2025 Stanley Cup Finals. The Vegas Golden Knights sit at #2 following playoff showdowns in 2023 and 2025, while Colorado, Dallas, Anaheim, Utah, and Minnesota round out the list. The piece also notes the recent shutout of the Calgary Flames and the shifting relevance of traditional foes like Calgary and Vancouver amid rebuilds. Player highlights include McDavid vs. MacKinnon, Eichel, Makar, Kaprizov and a roster of rising stars across the rival teams.
The Patriots enter Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins without WR A.J. Brown (ankle/knee) and RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness), leaving quarterback Drake Maye to rely on a thin receiving corps. Healthy WRs DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism III and Kyle Williams, plus tight ends Hunter Henry and Eli Raridon, become key fantasy options, with Henry likely seeing an expanded role. On the ground, veteran Rhamondre Stevenson should get more carries and pass‑catch opportunities. Miami’s defense ranks last in pass EPA, passer rating (116.8) and completion % allowed (76.6%), potentially boosting New England’s passing game and fantasy upside for Douglas, Henry and Stevenson.
Klay Thompson finally delivers the long‑awaited shooting boost for Miami, dropping 25 points on seven 3‑pointers in a Friday win over Indiana. His hot hand sparks an 18‑4 third‑quarter run and helps the struggling Heat lineup—featuring Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bam Adebayo, Davion Mitchell and Andrew Wiggins—outscore the Pacers by 20 points after being outscored by 30 in the first five games. Coach Erik Spoelstra praises Thompson’s impact on the offense, while Antetokounmpo and Adebayo discuss finding new spacing to end the team’s 0‑4 start.
TreVeyon Henderson is ruled out for the Patriots’ Week 8 clash with the Miami Dolphins after missing the final two practices due to illness. The second‑year running back, who has 52 carries for 203 yards and a touchdown this season, won’t travel to Miami, marking his second missed game. With Henderson sidelined, veteran Rhamondre Stevenson is set for a larger workload, having played 68% of snaps in the Week 7 loss to Chicago. Backups Corey Kiner and newly active Lan Larison will see more snaps, while wide receiver A.J. Brown also sits out with ankle and knee issues. Fantasy owners should watch Henderson’s potential return against Green Bay in Week 9.

The Revolution enter the match on a three‑game winning streak (3‑2 over Red Bulls, 2‑1 over Union, 1‑0 over Chicago) and sit third in the 2026 standings, while Inter Miami, fourth with a 2‑2 draw at Cincinnati, aim to rebound after a recent loss. Apple TV streams the game without blackouts across iOS, Android, Roku, Xbox, PlayStation and smart‑TV platforms, and can be accessed abroad via VPN.

Inter Miami can lock a 2027 CONCACAF Champions Cup berth by beating New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, October 31, 2026. After Saturday’s results left only one spot open, a win would give Lionel Messi’s side a ticket to continental competition. Coach Cristian “Kily” González says the lineup will see tweaks, treating the match like a final after a 2-2 draw with Cincinnati. A missed penalty by Petar Musa for FC Dallas kept the Herons’ destiny in their own hands, turning a turbulent season into a chance for international success.
After a 0‑4 start, Miami snaps the skid with two wins, highlighted by a 145‑125 victory over Indiana in NBA Cup group play. Coach Erik Spoelstra cautions fans that the Heat’s defense, currently 26th in the league (117.2 rating), is far from elite and the starting five’s cohesion remains a work in progress. Giannis Antetokounmpo posted his second triple‑double (31‑18‑10) and Bam Adebayo added 27 points, but the unit’s net rating is still the league’s worst among lineups with 40+ minutes together. With a tough West Coast road trip looming, optimism should be tempered until the defense tightens and consistency improves.
The New York Jets sit 2-5 and face growing criticism of head coach Aaron Glenn after his vague comments on wideout Garrett Wilson’s usage. On WFAN, analyst Craig Carton slammed Glenn, saying his remarks “seal his fate” and urging the coach to give Wilson more targets instead of deflecting to other players. Wilson, who once posted three straight 1,000‑yard seasons despite rotating quarterbacks, managed only two catches for 26 yards against Miami. With the offense flatlining, the coach’s handling of Wilson and other weapons is now under intense scrutiny.
After a 0‑4 start, the Miami Heat snap the skid with two wins, highlighted by a 145‑125 victory over the Indiana Pacers in NBA Cup group play. Point guard Davian Mitchell, averaging 16.2 points and 8.2 assists in six games, fires back at a fan who mocked his 17 turnovers, noting his four double‑doubles and joining Tim Hardaway Sr. as the only Heat players with 10+ assists in four of the first six games. Mitchell’s play helps a newly gelling lineup with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bam Adebayo, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins, as they aim for a third straight win against the Lakers on Monday.
Klay Thompson shines in his Heat debut, dropping 25 points (9‑of‑14 FG, 7‑of‑12 3‑pt) as Miami beats the Pacers 145‑135 to extend a two‑game winning streak. Heading into a five‑game West Coast road trip, Thompson reflects on his love for Los Angeles—where his dad played—and says he’s eager to face his former Warriors, vowing to "beat them bad" despite longtime friendships with Curry, Green and Kerr. The Heat open the trip against the Lakers on Monday before taking on Golden State Thursday.
Klay Thompson's 'ignitable' offense is exactly what the Miami Heat needs to hit its ceiling.
The Miami Heat snap a 0‑4 start with back‑to‑back wins, beating the Indiana Pacers 145‑125 after a 124‑119 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Giannis Antetokounmpo posted a 31‑point, 18‑rebounds, 10‑assist triple‑double, while Bam Adebayo added 27 points. Both stars praised bench spark plug Pelle Larsson, who scored 18 points and dished eight assists in the Hawks game and was hailed as the team’s smartest player. Larsson’s playmaking is credited as the Heat’s X‑factor as they prepare to face the Lakers on Monday.
The Miami Dolphins have promoted kicker Zane Gonzalez and defensive end Max Llewellyn to their active roster. Gonzalez, a 31‑year‑old former seventh‑round pick who has bounced between practice squads and short‑term contracts with the Browns, Cardinals, Lions, Panthers, 49ers, Washington and Atlanta, most recently posted a 19‑of‑22 field‑goal record with the Falcons in 2025. The move adds veteran depth to Miami’s special teams, while the elevation of DE Llewellyn, whose details were not disclosed, bolsters the defensive line for the remainder of the 2026 season.
The Patriots promote 24‑year‑old running back Lan Larison to the 53‑man roster and elevate former Dolphins receiver Ryan Miller from the practice squad for Sunday’s game at Miami. With TreVeyon Henderson and A.J. Brown downgraded, Larison becomes the third RB behind Rhamondre Stevenson and Corey Kiner after an illness thinned the depth chart. Larison, an undrafted UC Davis free agent who debuted against Seattle, logged two catches for nine yards and a 24.5‑yard kickoff return average in the Super Bowl LX rematch. Miller, a 26‑year‑old ex‑Dolphins wideout who posted a 77‑yard TD this season, joins the Patriots as the fourth healthy receiver. Linebacker Christian Elliss and cornerback Carlton Davis III are questionable, while Marcus Bryant stays on IR. Kickoff is 4:25 p.m. ET in Miami Gardens.
The Miami Dolphins' 5.2 yards per play might look mediocre, but it's an encouraging sign of Bobby Slowik's work with a developing offense.
Ahead of the 2027 season, the Yankees face a decision on free‑agent Jazz Chisholm Jr., who posted a .231 average, 19 homers, 55 RBIs and a career‑high 41 steals for New York. Insider Jim Bowden recalls a rookie‑year incident when Chisholm parked in Derek Jeter’s spot at Marlins spring training, highlighting his “complicated” off‑field persona. Bowden says Chisholm’s talent is valuable defensively, but contending clubs may shy from a long‑term deal, leaving second‑division teams to likely bid for his 20‑HR/40‑steal profile. The Yankees’ next move and Chisholm’s offseason destination remain uncertain.
Giannis Antetokounmpo says the Miami Heat’s 0‑4 season opening actually helped the team’s mental edge. After a 145‑125 win over Indiana, the two‑time MVP highlighted how early criticism sparked humility and trust, noting his own triple‑double (31‑18‑10) and a six‑game average of 28.2 points, 12.3 rebounds and 5.5 assists on 58.6% shooting. Antetokounmpo credits the rough start for building chemistry with Bam Adebayo and turning the Heat’s mindset, as they aim for three straight victories on a five‑game West Coast road trip beginning with the Lakers.
