The World Series hasn’t started yet, but one player is already a champion.
Relief pitcher Jake Woodford played for both the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays this season, guaranteeing that he becomes a champion.
The Rays traded the 29-year-old to Milwaukee just before the season began in March. Woodford was in the Brewers’ bullpen to start the season, appearing in 16 games. He had a 1-0 record with a 6.94 ERA and one save in 23 1/3 innings pitched.

On June 5, Woodford was designated for assignment and subsequently released a few days later. On July 4, he signed a contract with the Chicago Cubs.
Woodford appeared in just one game for the Cubs, allowing three runs in two innings. The Cubs designated Woodford for assignment on July 11, and he was released on July 16. However, the Cubs signed him to a minor league contract on July 18. On July 29, the Cubs selected his contract, returning him to the major league roster.
Woodford threw one scoreless inning on Aug. 3 but was once again designated for assignment by the Cubs on Aug. 4 and released on Aug. 10.

The Rays then brought him back, signing him to a minor league contract on Aug. 11. After more than a month in the minor leagues, the Rays selected his contract and added him to their major league roster on Sept. 24.
Woodford pitched against the New York Yankees, giving up three earned runs in 1 1/3 innings. He was designated for assignment on Sept. 25 and released again on Sept. 29.
Woodford’s roller-coaster ride took him through three different teams over the course of the 2026 season, but one of those teams is guaranteed to win the World Series.

However, Woodford is not guaranteed to receive a ring. There is no official rule that requires teams to give rings to every player, as ring distribution is at the discretion of team ownership and management.
The World Series begins on Friday at 8 p.m. ET, with the Brewers hosting the Rays.
Urban Meyer knows a thing or two about what makes a great college football coach.
The 62-year-old College Football Hall of Fame inductee won three national championships during his nearly two-decade career, two of which came while he was roaming the sidelines at the University of Florida.
His ties to Gainesville made him a trusted voice in the Gators' latest coaching search, and coaching searches have been frequent occurrences since he exited stage left in December 2010.
With Meyer's help, Florida selected Jon Sumrall, whose first year is off to a roaring start thanks to two top-10 wins (Ole Miss and Texas) before he's even had a chance to coach a full season.
Seven games into his tenure, Meyer has been blown away by Sumrall, and joined Dan Dakich on his show, "Don't @ Me," to discuss how he had a small part in helping usher the new Gator to The Swamp this past fall.
FLORIDA COACH BRINGS LAUGHS, NO FILTER AND LANE KIFFIN COMPARISON REBUTTAL TO FIRST SEC MEDIA DAYS
"I don't like him, I love the guy," Meyer said with the same smile a proud older sibling would wear when talking about his younger brother's accomplishments.
"I never met him until this year, I was involved in the coaching search. They asked me to kind of vet, and one phone call, I hung up the phone and I called a guy on the board of trustees and I said, 'you found your guy, man.'"
As I mentioned before, Meyer knows what a good coach looks like.
Outside of his accomplishments, Meyer's "coaching tree" looks as impressive as anyone's not named "Saban."
Just a few of Urban's notable assistant coaches over the years include Ryan Day, Dan Mullen, Brian Hartline, Charlie Strong, Steve Addazio, Luke Fickell, and Mike Vrabel, among others.
So, when Urban Meyer hops on the phone and says "you found your guy," chances are he's onto something.

"This guy doesn't b—h... you ever hear him bitch about the NIL? You ever hear him b—h about the transfer portal," Meyer asked rhetorically. "No, he loves the game. He loves his players."
Meyer also lauds Sumrall for how tough he is on his players while still showing them love.

"I love when he says, 'yeah, we suck, we just suck less today and we beat Texas.' I mean how cool is that?"
A big part of why Meyer has been so drawn to the 43-year-old Gators coach is the fact that he sees a lot of his younger self in Sumrall, too.
He brings up their Bloody Tuesday practices and mentions that the second in command is Rusty Whitt, Florida's head strength coach.

"The number two in charge is their strength coach, just like us," Meyer recalls. "I believe he's a Green Beret who runs the strength program, and he's the culture."

It's early, and a lot of things can still change, but Sumrall is doing his best to make Meyer look like a genius since the moment he hung up that phone 11 months ago.
'Nightcaps' is a daily column that catches you up on the biggest sports, news, and culture stories you may have missed while pretending to do work at your desk. It runs Monday-Friday on OutKick.com.
I don't know about you, but I've got that Tuesday feeling, and it's time to dig into some Nightcaps because we've got everything from Drake Maye's obscene milkshake habit to an Air Jaws sighting to discuss.
I'm deputizing for the great Amber Harding, and it's good to get back in the saddle after I had a short week last week to celebrate the wife's birthday.
And she did it right: an Airbnb with a pool, theater, and game room that was only about 20 minutes from our regular abode, and she invited friends and family over.
Between floating in the pool and watching hockey games on the outside TV (which was slightly broken; can't win them all) and watching the Vincent Price vehicle "The Tingler" in the theater, I had to ask myself a couple of times if it was my birthday too.
A great time was had by all, but those Airbnbs aren't cheap, and that's why it's back to work for this hombre!
So, let's dig right in.
I'm a big milkshake guy, but I like an everyman's milkshake.
All I want is a nice, frosty chocolate shake that is thick, but not so thick that nothing comes through the straw and you pass out.
I don't need whipped cream, wacky flavors, or half of a cherry pie sticking out and chocolate syrup squirted all over the top of the glass.
Just. A. Milkshake.
And I bet Drake Maye has similarly strong opinions because he had a bona fide milkshake problem.
In an interview with Men's Health, the Patriots QB revealed that he is trying to cut back from as many as three shakes in a day.
SHARK WEEK SHOCKER AS GREAT WHITE BREACHES JUST YARDS FROM OBLIVIOUS BOOGIE BOARDER
And no, not protein shakes.
The fact that he was crushing that many milkshakes and is a starting quarterback in the NFL is crazy. You'd think he'd be washing himself with a rag on a stick and having to get weighed at the zoo.
Unreal. This needs to be studied by science.
Smart to cut back, but I bet he takes the occasional late-night trip down to Steak 'N' Shake to whet his whistle when he's jonesing.
He's only human.
I'm not a beach guy. That's partially because of "Jaws" and also because I don't like sand or when seaweed touches my foot.
However, I've warmed up to the beach as I've gotten older, but consider me out again after seeing this video of a Great White doing its best Shamu impression off the coast of California that went viral.
Now, I'm a veteran "Shark Week" watcher, so I was familiar with the phenomenon of sharks breaching and doing flips like it's the X-Games.
I was, however, under the impression that this was something that only happened off the coast of South Africa, which was fine by me.
Now, the cartilaginous acrobatics are hitting American shores (technically, they're still off of them, but you know what I mean).
This sort of thing never happens in pools... right?
Perhaps more so than any other position in sports, being a hockey goalie attracts a certain offbeat breed.
It makes sense. Most of us would decline if asked to put a huge chunk of the team's fate on our shoulders while fighting off 100 mph howitzers.
That's how you wind up with Ilya Bryzgalov talking about the "hu-mang-ous big" universe, or Gilles "Gratoony the Loony" Gratton believing he's a reincarnated conquistador and sitting out a game because the moon was in the wrong part of the sky.
Let's add Calgary Flames netminder Devin Cooley to this list. It's been a slow start to the season, but Cooley played well in their recent win over the Carolina Hurricanes, and followed it up with some stellar interviews off of it.
I mean, that felt more like a psych lecture than the usual "We just need to go out and get pucks deep" brand of hockey interview, and I'm all about it.
There's more where that came from, and apparently, Cooley's teammates all run to the TV when he does an interview, and I think you can see why.
Great stuff. Hockey needs more of this.
It sounds like Jay Z has hired himself for the Super Bowl halftime show.
I've not been a fan of his work with the Super Bowl halftime show over the last few years. Save for the one with Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Dr. Dre, most have been forgettable as far as the production is concerned.
I mean, can anyone remember any specific moments from them since he started in 2019? Not really.
There hasn't been any Prince guitar solo, Bob Ross-looking slackline guy, or Janet Jackson nipple to speak of.
Nonetheless, I like some of his tunes, and I kind of respect the audacity to be like, "Alright, the best person to do this is... me."
I wish I had more of that.
Still, it wouldn't be a Super Bowl halftime show if we didn't go over some acts that would've been great to see instead.
Metallica -Whenever the idea of a rock band doing Super Bowl halftime show duties comes up, 'Tallica is always first. They like big, unusual gigs. That's why they played in Antarctica and are currently in the midst of a Sphere residency. Speaking of which, have you seen what they do when they play "The Call of Ktulu" there?
Bring that level of show to the Super Bowl.
Foo Fighters - If Metallica is busy, the next number most people call when they need a rock and/or metal band is Dave Grohl and Co., and I think they could do it. They've got plenty of hits and bring the energy as well as any band out there. Trying not to sing along with "Monkey Wrench." You can't.
Jack White - Now, I know he's got a sprinkling of TDS, but the man's repertoire speaks for itself. Plus, he played the Thanksgiving halftime show in Detroit just last year to rave reviews. Maybe he brings Meg White out for "Seven Nation Army" or something. It would be awesome.
The Muppets - Everyone would love this, and if you want to see 65,000 people weeping, just let Kermit the Frog whip out his banjo and uncork a stirring rendition of "Rainbow Connection."
Any country artist - I looked it up, and there have been some sporadic country artists over the years, like Shania Twain in 2003, and a full-fledged country-fied halftime show in the mid-1990s. But as big as country music has gotten, how has this not happened again? There are plenty who could handle it. Hell, Ella Langley has been annihilating the Billboard charts lately. Trot Chris Stapleton out there for a few songs with special guests, and I can assure you, there will be no complaints.
Still, best of luck to Jay Z, and what are the odds we get a Kanye cameo?
I'm going to guess quite low.
I'm really looking forward to the World Series, because I'm psyched to see a new franchise win a World Series, but I'm torn on one aspect of it.
The indoors-ed-ness.
This has the potential to be the first completely indoor World Series ever.
Obviously, Tropicana Field is indoors, while American Family Field has a roof that can be opened and closed.
This is great for getting the series played on time... but it still feels wrong.
I don't like this trend we're seeing with more and more teams moving inside. Sure, I get the logistics and the financial upsides, but who doesn't get excited to see a football game in snow or a World Series game where you can see the players' breath.
I'll tell you: no one.
I hope the folks in Milwaukee come to their senses and pop the roof open if the weather is clear but cold.
Give the people what they want, and maybe a little icing on that slide will help Bernie get a little extra speed.

That's it for this edition of Nightcaps! See you tomorrow!
It's fair to say that Deebo Samuel has a history of missing games due to injury throughout his career. His style of play contributes to that, and he was inactive for Monday night's Commanders and 49ers game due to a hamstring injury.
He's expected to miss "at least a couple of weeks," 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said after he hurt himself in a win over the Seahawks. But that doesn't mean San Francisco's offensive weapon isn't playing through his injury.
He most certainly is, and he's putting it all on the line as a wingman. Not just any wingman, an e-dating TikTok livestream wingman. Is there anything Deebo Samuel can't do? And no, you're not allowed to say stay healthy.

It turns out he's a sucker for romance like the rest of us who have dropped our guards and allowed ourselves to be. The role of the e-dating wingman is exactly what it sounds like.
Deebo played, through his injury it's worth pointing out again, wingman/matchmaker over the weekend. He hosted an e-dating livestream on his own TikTok account for a couple during their virtual first date.

From the looks of it, his services as the wingman may have seriously been needed. Let's just say one of them on the online date really outkicked their coverage here.
Those not as in touch with their romantic side left comments on the screenshot of his livestream like "Step away from Antonio Brown, we should be concerned."
Others with a more refined perspective understood what Deebo Samuel was up to while trying to help two people connect with one another.
One wrote, "Pastor Deebo doing gawds work."

I couldn’t have said it better myself.
If he's too hurt to take the field, playing through his injury by helping to bring a couple of people together using the power of the internet is "doing gawds work."
Best of luck to Deebo and to Bebo, for that matter. Whether a connection was made with the help of the 49ers receiver or not, Isabel is going to be just fine.
The NFL is satisfied with the manner in which the Philadelphia Eagles handled the Jalen Hurts blood clot situation the past two weeks, a league source confirmed on Tuesday.
The matter is closed as far as the league is concerned.
That means the NFL review of the matter will not result in any team punishment for how the Eagles handled the injury designation for Hurts ahead of the Week 5 game between them and the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
The Eagles did not report Hurts had been discovered to have a superficial blood clot the day before the game.
Hurts played in the game and even practiced multiple days afterward. But late last week further evaluations revealed that Hurts has a deep vein trombosis as well as a bilateral pulmonary emboli – which the Eagles and Hurts' agent announced on Monday.
Hurts is out for the remainder of the season.
The Eagles have made it clear they have been in contact with the league throughout the process. That process included the NFL's chief medical doctor having Hurts seen at the Cleveland Clinic in London on that fateful Saturday before the game against Jacksonville.
The NFL released a statement provided to OutKick and Fox News Digital on the matter:
"The league had been in contact throughout the process with the Eagles medical personnel, and the Cleveland Clinic in London where the tests were conducted.
"The league’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Allen Sills arranges for medical resources with leading providers in every international market with approval from the NFL Players Association.
"Medical care for players is provided by club medical staff in coordination with independent doctors."
After the superficial blood clot in Hurts’ calf was first discovered, the team, staff, doctors and Hurts made the determination that he could play the following day against the Jaguars.
Aside from their two publicly disseminated statements on the matter, the only person in the Eagles organization to discuss the Hurts matter is coach Nick Sirianni. And he hasn't been forthcoming.
"You know, the health of our players are, is always at the forefront of our mind," Sirianni said. "And leave that up to the medical experts, but we always, always care deeply about our players. And that's when you are completely focused on together and connection. You're always thinking about the well-being of your guys and that's what we were in that situation."
THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!
Beyond that, Sirianni repeated during his press conference on Monday that he is not a medical expert and added, "I trust the people that are involved in helping us all make these decisions."
But the club had no one from the medical staff answer reporters' questions. GM Howie Roseman, who is in charge of the medical staff under the Eagles structure, also did not address the matter.
Roseman typically does not speak with reporters during the season, in deference to the coaching staff's messaging, with the rare exception of trades being made and an NFL-required availability.
The lack of answers from the team has opened the door to more questions. And those will persist even as the team and the league are trying to move forward.

The defendants in the ‘golden passports’ case requested a trial within a trial on Tuesday, arguing that a great deal of the evidence to be presented by state prosecutors was irregularly obtained by police during investigations.
On trial at Nicosia criminal court are ten defendants: former transport minister Marios Demetriades, Andreas Demetriades, Demetris Demetriades, Giorgos Demetriades, Eleni Simillidi, Jing Wang, Josef Friedrich Santin, Vasiliki Georgiou-Santin, and Andreas Demetriades & Co LLC and Delsk Business Services Ltd.
The charges involve corruption, bribery, conspiracy to defraud and money laundering related to the naturalisation of 19 Asian investors, in the context of the now-defunct citizenship-by-investment scheme.
All defendants deny the charges.
In court on Tuesday, defence attorney Elias Stefanou requested a trial within a trial due to objections over the manner in which evidence was obtained against the accused.
He was referring to three warrants issued to search the premises of the Demetriades family law firm. According to Stefanou, the issues at stake are violations of attorney-client privilege, violation of the privacy of communications, exceeding the scope of the warrants, and relevance of the material seized.
The seized material includes electronic communications, a hard disk, computer towers, storage devices, mobile phones and paper files.
Stefanou said the defence had asked prosecutors to specify the material they intend to present in court.
A trial within a trial would determine which evidence would be admissible for the trial proper.
Countering, lead prosecutor Charis Karaolidou said they had already informed the defence of the evidentiary items they would not be presenting in court.
She said the defence needs to spell out precisely which material it objects to.
Hearing both sides, the court granted the defence time until November 16 – the next scheduled hearing – to present its objections in detail.
Tuesday’s proceedings also saw the first prosecution witness – a CID officer – continue testifying. The officer is the case evidence custodian.
To date, 105 items of evidence have been submitted in court – documents pertaining to naturalisations granted to individuals from Cambodia and China.
Former minister Demetriades is specifically charged with intervening in citizenship applications handled by his father’s and brothers’ law firm. The second charge involves “accepting gifts as a public official” related to a Chinese investor’s naturalisation. The third charge alleges bribery of a public official, citing Demetriades’ active participation in cabinet decisions.
Meanwhile defendants Josef Friedrich Santin, Vasiliki Georgiou-Santin, and Delsk Ltd face charges of influence peddling.
This is one of four court cases filed in relation to the ‘golden passports’ scheme.
The most prominent one, involving former House president Demetris Syllouris and former Akel MP Christakis Giovani, resulted in acquittals in February this year.
When you do something on the baseball field that’s only been done twice in nearly 114 years by two Hall of Famers, you know it’s extraordinary.
Tampa Bay Rays star and ALCS MVP Freddy Peralta has been lights out down the stretch. In his last 10 starts dating back to the regular season, he has pitched more than 50 innings, allowed one run or fewer in each start, and his team has won all 10 games, according to Opta STATS.
The only two other pitchers to have such streaks were St. Louis Cardinals legend Bob Gibson in 1968 and Walter Johnson in 1913 with the Washington Nationals. However, Johnson’s Nationals are not today’s Nationals. The franchise later became known as the Washington Senators before moving to Minnesota and becoming the Twins in 1961.

When the Rays acquired Peralta from the New York Mets at the trade deadline, he had a 4.99 ERA in 22 starts. While they expected him to improve, no one could have expected this.
"This is crazy," Peralta said. "I’m very happy to be here and grateful to be here because when I was in July, I had no idea where I was going to be. I think that this was the right place."
Since joining the Rays, the 30-year-old went 5-2 in 10 regular-season starts with a 3.25 ERA and was named the American League’s Pitcher of the Month for September. In the postseason, he has been especially dominant. In four appearances (three starts), Peralta has a sparkling 1.08 ERA in 16 2/3 innings pitched.

Nicknamed "Fastball Freddy" for his heater, Peralta credited Rays pitching coach Kyle Snyder, along with bullpen coach Jorge Moncada and bullpen catcher Charlie Valerio, for his turnaround.
"They helped me a lot," Peralta said. "I can’t thank them enough because the way that they helped me is amazing, something I’m never going to forget in life. I’m very grateful to have people like that here, people that I never saw before and now they are part of my family."
While Peralta is on a roll, the World Series is going to be a little odd for him: He will face the Milwaukee Brewers, with whom he spent the first eight seasons of his career.

"Milwaukee is a team and a city that gave me the opportunity to make my dream, and also Milwaukee is going to be always in my heart," Peralta said. "But this is a time to compete ... and excited to go."
The right-hander is set to hit free agency this offseason and could earn a big payday. First, however, he is looking to take down his old team and help the Rays win their first World Series title.

A New Jersey driver accused of killing National Hockey League star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew in an August 2024 crash made a stunning admission on Monday.

The New York Giants may still be searching for their feature back, but they appear to know who won't fill the role.
Two days after criticizing the coaching staff's game plan following a four-carry, two-yard performance, the G-Men released Najee Harris.
Harris, a training camp pickup following struggles by Tyrone Tracy, got the start on Sunday, as Cam Skattebo was all but benched after another fumble, perhaps this one the most costly, last week. Skattebo was on the field for just six snaps and did not touch the ball.

The Giants used a three-running-back rotation of Harris, Tracy and Devin Singletary, yet their top two leading rushers were quarterback JJ McCarthy (26 yards) and wide receiver Darnell Mooney (20). As John Harbaugh put it after Sunday's loss, "Nobody's really taken the bull by the horns."
Well, Harris said it was difficult for him and the other backs to get into a rhythm.
"I don't think nobody can," Harris said, via the New York Daily News. "And this is not to anything that's the coaching staff or anything. This is just personal, running backs, quarterbacks. It's hard to get in a rhythm with one or two plays.

"The first couple runs will be, 'OK, how are they playing me?' The next one is gonna be, 'OK, this is how you attack it.' But if you're getting a play here and get taken out four series, there's nothing you can do. I don't know. I've never been through this before."
Harris has 99 rushing yards on 31 carries (3.2 yards per carry), a far cry from his four straight 1,000-yard seasons to open up his NFL career, which began just five years ago.
Harris was a first-round pick out of Alabama and was the Pittsburgh Steelers' bell cow but left after four seasons. He joined the Los Angeles Chargers, but injuries kept him out for almost the entire season.
Giants running backs are averaging just 3.4 yards per carry this season, with Skattebo barely leading the way at 3.6. Out of his 294 rushing yards, 81 of them came against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1. He followed up with 36, 60, 58, and 59.

Harbaugh is patiently waiting to see who will take the bull by the horns, but one thing is for certain — it won't be Harris. New York will go to Houston to take on the suddenly-hot Texans before their Week 8 bye.
I have always felt that, above any other league, the NBA does a great job of trying to provide the best matchups on the biggest days. The NBA Opening Day brings three phenomenal games. The first is between the Celtics and Pistons, and the last one of the night is between the Spurs and Thunder. Sandwiched between the two games is this one between the 76ers and the Knicks.
The Philadelphia 76ers are most people's pick to win the Eastern Conference this season. Their additions of Jaylen Brown and LeBron James are the main cause of all of the excitement. Adding those two players to the lineup with Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and VJ Edgecombe gives them arguably the best starting lineup in the league. Their bench is a bit thin, with just Anfernee Simons and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope as the main players. This team isn't built for the regular season; they are built for the playoffs.
There is obviously a long way to go before we get there. There will almost certainly be a learning period for the team to play together. There are now four guys on the team who could be the leading scorer for the team if they got the opportunity. There will be some questions about matchups and defense. There will be some struggles trying to play together. Those may come out tonight against a team with continuity and even more reason to be excited.
LEBRON JAMES’ 76ERS DEBUT SET FOR BLOCKBUSTER KNICKS SHOWDOWN AT MSG
The New York Knicks are raising a banner tonight and receiving their rings. That alone will make the entire fanbase of Madison Square Garden go nuts. This team has already captured the hearts of New York, and tonight is the final marker of the celebration from last year's championship. The Knicks have a deep starting lineup with Jalen Brunson being the superstar. Karl-Anthony Towns is still an elite option, and his backup, Andre Drummond, will help the team maintain some strength when he goes to the bench. I like him more than Mitchell Robinson, to be honest.

I am most interested in seeing how the team responds after the opening ceremony. When the ball goes up for tip-off, it will essentially be the same as any other time. The Knicks have the edge in terms of familiarity. That helps quite a bit in basketball, but the big issue for them in this will be on defense. Teams have tried to exploit Brunson on defense for years, but against the 76ers, no matter who he guards, they will have the advantage.
The NBA Preseason doesn't always give us much insight, but I think there might be some opportunity for us to look into how the 76ers did their substitutions. They were trying to keep two of the four- James, Brown, Embiid, and Maxey- on the floor at all times. The Knicks might have a lot of adrenaline coming into the quarter, but I think the rotations for the 76ers, and being a bit amped up, might cause them to not shoot all that well. I think the total of 60.5 points in the first quarter is just a bit too high for this one. Give me the under 60.5 in the first quarter.

The golf world has been posed with the question of when Tiger Woods might make his return to the sport countless times at this point in the 15-time major champion's career.
That question has lingered since Woods' latest DUI-related arrest in March, but we've now reached the point in the proceedings where we're starting to collect legitimate clues about what the answer may be this time around.
The most recent meaningful golf shot Woods hit took place in March 2026 when he competed in a TGL event alongside his Jupiter Links teammates. That same month, he was arrested on charges of driving under the influence and charged with two misdemeanors in Florida. He ultimately completed a months-long inpatient rehab program overseas before entering a plea deal in September in which charges were reduced.
In early October, Woods was seen hitting golf balls at one of his TGR Live events, and while the video showed him hitting just one shot, it ramped up the speculation that he was in the process of working his way back to competing.
With Woods now eligible to compete on the PGA Tour Champions circuit as a 50-year-old, a competitive return coming in the form of a debut start on the senior circuit would, and still could be, a possibility. However, Woods has never committed to competing on the PGA Tour Champions circuit.
This leads us to the more likely scenarios in which we could see Woods make a return to golf, with evidence supporting each.

Woods has long played tournament host of the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, and with the 2026 event set for the first week of December, making a competitive return in a very limited-field event could make for a perfect scenario.
The initial 20-player tournament field was announced on Monday, but only 17 names were listed. The three final spots, all tournament exemptions, are set to be announced at a later date.
Woods could use one of the final three spots in the tournament for himself, but it is worth noting that he has not teed it up in the Hero World Challenge since 2023.

The 2027 TGL schedule has not been released, but Woods was officially announced as a returning player on next season's Jupiter Links team alongside Tom Kim, Max Homa, Akshay Bhatia and Keith Mitchell.
Woods being listed on the initial roster announced on Tuesday indicates he has plans to compete in some capacity, at the very least.

Woods making his return to the golf spotlight in the TGL, the simulated indoor league he co-founded back in 2022, would certainly make sense.
If the league follows the pattern of the 2026 schedule, the first event of the new season would take place at the end of December and run through late March.
Woods' last tournament start took place at The Open in July 2024.
Rules for thee, not for me.
Monday night in San Francisco, for the second consecutive game of the WNBA Finals, the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries stepped off the court before the national anthem and then immediately returned to the court after Canadian-born Alanis Morissette finished her performance.
The spineless league hasn't said a word despite the women continuing to break an anthem rulebook provision that requires them to attend the performance. Now that we've reported, it's time for you guys to react and share your feelings on this drama that isn't going away.
Let's do this.
• UNLV Doc has some deep thoughts to share: WNBA types and political sycophants probably think they're rebels, and they are. But they are rebelling against order and creation in favor of chaos, which is always the easy way to mindlessly effect change, and what the selfish have always done. Honorable rebels take a stand, work, and sacrifice, even against self-interest to bravely bring about something other than the chaos that naturally exists without applied effort to create something good. I'm looking forward to seeing such leaders emerge from the WNBA mob; I know they're in there somewhere.
• Richard C. sent in this great take: How about a double disqualification and no champion recognized this year.
• Carmen has hit a breaking point: I love Daily Outkick and I hate the WNBA and everyday it's just funny to read and move on. It's not that funny anymore. The WNBA has failed women. As a female coach, I do my best to build strong, confident, capable, athletes who happen to be females. They are held to a standard that doesn't include entitlement, excuses, or any agenda other than TEAM.
The WNBA is about anything but sport, and that is inexcusable for so many young women pursuing professional sports. Pushing themselves to another level to achieve their goals. It's embarrassing that this is women's professional basketball when so few hold themselves to that level. It's a soap opera that deserves zero attention.
As an organization that is supposed to promote the best in women's sport, it's become laughable. It's a joke that has a played out punchline. You have failed those you are supposed to be a trailblazer for. When athletic performance is secondary to everything else, you have failed as a league.
• Pops makes a good point: The WNBA proves once again they are a political activist organization not a women’s basketball organization. They decide what rules they want to enforce and what rules they will not enforce.
• Kenneth is fed up: Well I have an answer. If the WNBA had any balls (which they don’t) both teams would be banned from playing the game and all players suspended indefinitely. If you can’t attend and stand for the national anthem of the country that has given you everything then you have no business being here.

• Mark S. sends a message to WNBA executives: What a crock. The league is a farce and an embarrassment to our country, not thier country. Fine them all. This is not a political forum it is a game and rules are rules. Enough of the lesbian leaque and who wnba management listen to. Stand up and control your players or get rid of them Set an example.
• Mike Mc. says: The WNBA is a sideshow of awkward misfits playing a child's game poorly. It's no surprise that they do dumb things, but it is surprising that any discerning "fan" pays attention to this collection of grumpy malcontents. On second thought, if you had any discernment, you wouldn't be a fan. Problem solved.
• Joe B. wants the WNBA to take a hike: Remove the entire league from USA arenas. Sell the entire group to Europe, Asia or a South America country. Who needs these disrespectful ingrates playing here?

• Don says enough is enough: Why are we continually putting up with the WNBA? They have proven they are a league that continually cares only about themselves and no one or nothing else.The league fails to react to any of the players who disobey the rules. They have tried to turn this into a racial bias league. I think i am done.
• Gary says punish them for breaking the rules: This is just another example of disrespect for our nation and should not go unpunished by the league. Actions should have consequences.
• Richard S. tells us: Stop giving the anti American league any more print.

Already known as a gifted songwriter, chart-topping singer, and billionaire businesswoman, Taylor Swift has added WAG to her list of identifiers — an acronym used to describe the supportive wives and girlfriends of high-profile athletes.
Since Swift began dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in the summer of 2023, she has been spotted cheering for the team at 25 games, including Super Bowl LVIII.
Swift's presence has been wholeheartedly embraced by the NFL, whose commissioner, Roger Goodell, has credited Swift with an increase in interest among female fans.
"I'm just there to support Travis," Swift previously told Time. "I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads."
The megastar is now back in action for her third consecutive NFL season, supporting Kelce and the Chiefs during the 2026 season — their first since Swift and Kelce got married at Madison Square Garden.
Here are the best photos of Swift from each appearance so far.

Swift's enthusiasm at her first Chiefs game seemed to confirm her then-rumored romance with Kelce.
Swift later said they were already an official couple before she watched the Chiefs beat the Chicago Bears.
"This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell," she told Time. "We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I'm grateful for, because we got to get to know each other."
"By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple," Swift continued. "I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."

Swift and Lively watched the Chiefs defeat the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey — where Swift had performed three sold-out concerts just a few months prior.
The October game drew the highest viewership for a Sunday TV show since the Super Bowl, NBC Sports reported.
Indeed, Swift's newfound interest in football has been credited with bumping merch sales and enticing more female viewers.

Shortly before her third game-day appearance, Kelce accused the NFL of "overdoing it" with its wall-to-wall coverage of Swift.
"I think it's fun when they show who all is at the game. I think it brings a little more to the atmosphere, brings a little bit more to what you're watching," Kelce said during an episode of his "New Heights" podcast.
"But at the same time, I think they're overdoing it a little bit," Kelce continued. "For sure, especially for my situation. I think they're just trying to have fun with it."

Just a few days before the release of "1989 (Taylor's Version)," Swift watched the Chiefs take down the Los Angeles Chargers.
She spent the home game cheering with Mahomes and showing off their secret handshake.

Swift spent most of November 2023 on the road for the South American leg of the Eras Tour. Kelce even flew to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to watch Swift perform — and received an onstage shout-out in return.
She returned to Kelce's side in early December when the Chiefs took on the Green Bay Packers. It was her first time watching Kelce's team lose.

Swift purchased the '90s sweatshirt from Westside Storey, a secondhand clothing boutique in Kansas City.
The store's owner, Chris Harrington, told Business Insider he originally thought Swift's order — which totaled $1,200 for curated vintage pieces — could be fraudulent.
Instead, she wore one of those pieces at Arrowhead Stadium in December, causing a surge of traffic to Westside Storey's website.
"We've had hundreds of orders over the last 48 hours," Harrington told BI. "Sometimes our online store lights up after a Chiefs game when we win, but this is 100 times more than that, and we lost the game. It was the Taylor effect."

Swift hit the road to watch the Chiefs defeat the New England Patriots on the latter's home turf. She even convinced her father, Scott Swift, to swap his traditional Philadelphia Eagles gear for a Chiefs sweatshirt.
Several friends accompanied Swift, including Alana Haim, stylist Ashley Avignone, and backup singer Melanie Nyema.

Even though the Chiefs lost to the Las Vegas Raiders on December 25, 2023, Kelce praised Swift and her family for making the day special.
The singer's brother, Austin Swift, dressed up as Santa Claus and gave Kelce a VHS copy of the 1994 film "Little Giants."
"He actually made me feel like a child because his gift to me was straight out of the bag," Kelce said on his podcast "New Heights.' "Whipped it out and handed me a VHS of my favorite football movie of all time."

Swift wore a Chiefs varsity jacket for the game against the Cincinnati Bengals, which the home team won.

The Chiefs defeated the Miami Dolphins during the fourth-coldest game in NFL history, per CNN.
That same day, the Chiefs owner praised Swift and Kelce's "purely organic" relationship.
"It's been a very interesting, very fun year having the two of them dating, the attention that's been focused on the Chiefs," Clark Hunt told CNBC. "Our female audience has grown leaps and bounds."

Swift joined Kelce's family to watch the Chiefs advance through the NFL playoffs — including his brother, Eagles center Jason Kelce, who lost his shirt in the frenzy.

Swift watched the Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens in the 2024 AFC Championship Game, securing their spot in Super Bowl LVIII. She even joined Kelce on the field to celebrate the win.

Swift was widely expected to attend the 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas, despite having an Eras Tour stop scheduled in Tokyo the night before.
Sure enough, she made the trip in time to watch the Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers, with friends like Lively, Lana Del Rey, and Ice Spice in tow.

Swift was back in Kansas City on the evening of September 5, 2024, as the Chiefs took the field for their first game of the season against the Ravens.

Just a few days after attending the MTV Video Music Awards in New York (and giving her then-boyfriend a shout-out onstage), Swift was back in Kansas City to watch the Chiefs defeat the Bengals.

After skipping two of Kelce's games in Atlanta and Los Angeles, Swift returned to Kansas City in style — wearing over $50,000 worth of jewelry and designer clothing — to cheer for the Chiefs against the New Orleans Saints.
The home team won 26-13, their fifth consecutive win of the season.

One day after Swift wrapped the final US leg of the Eras Tour in Indianapolis, she was back in Kansas City to watch the Chiefs take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Despite a touchdown from the Buccaneers in the final minute of regulation play, the Chiefs rallied in overtime to score a winning touchdown.

Swift wore her typical black-and-red combo for another home game at Arrowhead Stadium, pairing a Victoria's Secret corset with a Versace tweed two-piece set. She was joined in the VIP box by her mother, Andrea Swift.

Swift arrived at Arrowhead Stadium with Kelce's mom, Donna. The pair cheered as the Chiefs clinched a narrow defeat against the Raiders.

Swift wore her boldest gameday outfit yet for the Chiefs vs. the Houston Texans, pairing a statement red coat with a faux-fur lining from Charlotte Simone and a vintage Chanel bucket hat.
Kelce and the Chiefs beat the Texans 19-27, adding another win to their dominant season.

Swift and WNBA star Caitlin Clark were spotted celebrating together when the Chiefs defeated the Texans again, 23-14, advancing to the AFC Championship Game for the seventh straight season.

The Chiefs took down the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in the 2025 AFC Championship Game, sending the league's top-seeded team to the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
Like she did the previous year, Swift joined Kelce, his mom, and his teammates on the field for their post-game celebration. Unlike the previous year, however, Swift wore a loud-luxury outfit covered with Louis Vuitton logos.

The Chiefs faced the Eagles at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. Serendipitously, Swift's trusted collaborator Kendrick Lamar headlined the halftime show.
As opposed to her usual Chiefs getup, Swift wore an agnostic white-and-denim outfit — perhaps to avoid rooting against her hometown team, who beat the Chiefs 40-22. (To date, the Chiefs have only lost four times with Swift in the stands.)

During the 2026 Emmys, Swift appeared in a prerecorded sketch with host Mariska Hargitay and the rest of the "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" cast to explain her absence from the awards show. (Swift's latest Disney+ concert movie, which was filmed during her final performance of the Eras Tour, was nominated for outstanding variety special.)
As Hargitay's Olivia Benson pieces together, the Emmys overlapped with the Chiefs' first game of the 2026 season — playfully described in the scene as Swift's husband having a "work thing."
Indeed, Swift was spotted celebrating the Chiefs' win over the Broncos alongside her mom, Andrea; Kelce's mom, Donna; and Kelce's brother, Jason.

The Chiefs won their second game of the 2026 season against the Indianapolis Colts.
When Kelce scored his first touchdown of the season, Swift was filmed cheering and pointing to her wedding ring, apparently yelling, "That's my husband!"

On October 17, 2026, Swift took the stage at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures' sixth annual gala in Los Angeles. She sang her "Toy Story 5" soundtrack hit, "I Knew It, I Knew You," and gave her debut performance of "The Fate of Ophelia."
The following day, Swift was back in Kansas City to watch the Chiefs take on the Chargers. The home team won 22-6, extending their undefeated streak this season.
Has Christian Pulisic moved up to lock screen picture material for Megan Moroney? That's the word on the street after the country singer's lock screen on her phone appeared to show the USMNT star.
This is round three of the dating rumors by my count, anyway. There was the rooftop bar sighting in Nashville and her trip to Italy that included her wearing what looked like one of his jerseys.
As someone who isn't up on all the lock screen protocols, I don’t know if a friend makes the cut or not. That said, it seems like it would be reserved for someone of more significance. But what do I know?

Moroney, after performing during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, was leaving the event's after-party when the lock screen was spotted. You can see the picture of her leaving here and assign any significance you'd like to it.
I'd like to shift the focus, if I may, to something else that took place at the fashion show involving the singer. Yes, she made a dream of hers come true by performing a few songs on the runway, and that's great.
But it was a moment on the red carpet prior to the show that grabbed my attention. A heartwarming moment where she gave people a look at the person behind the persona.
It came with a simple story about overcoming an unexpected challenge. She was asked what was the most outrageous thing she's ever done in the name of fashion. Her answer involved another red carpet appearance.
"I’ll tell you what my brain immediately went to. The ACM Awards a few years ago, I had these like sticky underwear on, and they fell off on the carpet," Moroney told E News.
"Then I just took them off and gave them to my publicist. So yeah, I didn’t have underwear on, on the carpet. That’s outrageous."

It's outrageous. It's pushing through a difficult moment. It's human. It's storytelling. It's part of having yourself a huge night. Megan Moroney nailed this red carpet interview.
She then nailed her Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway performance, even with enormous wings on, and topped it off with some Christian Pulisic fodder for those who spend their days in the celebrity rumor mill.
This is riding a media wave like a seasoned professional.
A report claims that Jay-Z has picked Jay-Z to be the NFL's Super Bowl Halt Time Show's headline act set to be held in L.A. next year.
The post Report: Jay-Z Picks Himself for Super Bowl LXI Halftime in Los Angeles appeared first on Breitbart.
Supporters of the New Orleans Saints are marching into France, and the wave began early Tuesday when an Air France charter flight carrying Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and others was expected to arrive at Charles de Gaulle Airport northeast of Paris.
The Republican governor, wearing a hoodie with the Saints' trademark fleur-de-lis symbol across his chest, left Louis Armstrong Airport on Monday evening. He spoke with reporters before boarding his flight "with a bunch of folks" who would spend the week in France before Sunday's NFL game between the Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers at Stade de France in Saint-Denis.
Landry seemed confident the trip's safety risk was manageable — so much so that the group carried the Saints' Super Bowl XLIV Lombardi Trophy on the trip.
"Yeah, look, we've been in contact with the State Department and talking to our partners over there," Landry told reporters. "One thing the NFL does very well is work with the FBI, to use Department of Justice, Interpol, they do a great job of securing new stadiums out there.
"And we waited to hear the comment from the NFL. They said it's safe. We're gonna go out there with a bunch of folks from Louisiana and hopefully have a good time."
The NFL on Sunday released a statement that said the game is still on. but nothing in the statement unequivocally said the situation is safe.
"Preparations continue as scheduled for NFL events and the game at Stade de France next Sunday," the NFL statement provided to OutKick and Fox News Digital read.
NFL SAYS FIRST REGULAR-SEASON GAME IN FRANCE REMAINS ON TRACK DESPITE GROWING UNREST IN PARIS
"We continue to work closely with local authorities and partners on all operational and security matters. We are also providing the two clubs with regular updates. There’s been no disruption or impact at league sites."
The Saints traveled to France after their game on Sunday and some fans are obviously following. The Steelers plan to fly to France on Thursday but on Monday afternoon held a Zoom meeting with the league office about the trip. All the players, coaches and even Steelers owner Art Rooney II were on the call.
"That's part of the normal planning anytime you go abroad," Steelers coach Mike McCarthy said. "The team is excited to go over there but we're in contact with the league...
"We are aware of the situations over there, and have a lot of confidence in our plan."
New Orleans players, already in France, are off Tuesday and free to roam away from their temporary headquarters near Versailles. Some players planned to attend a Paris Saint-Germain FC soccer match in the evening.
This is against the backdrop of the French government imposing a curfew and many businesses and some famous tourist attractions shutting down amid the wave of violence that engulfed sections of Paris and other cites around the country.
Despite all this, Landry is expecting to conduct some business on behalf of the people of Louisiana while in France.
"Look, we do a lot of work and business in Europe, and so we're very excited," he said. "We got a number of meetings, a meeting with the CEO of Shell, the CEO of BP, and others."

Another meeting Landry hopes to have is with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who is scheduled to attend the game. Landry hopes to lobby Goodell to hold another Super Bowl in New Orleans.

The NBA is here, and I am like a kid in a candy store. The NBA is my favorite league, and basketball is my favorite sport. This also means that all four leagues are in action starting now. The World Series is on Friday, the NFL is on Thursday, and the NBA and NHL play every day. This is the best time of the sports year. College basketball will join the fray shortly, and of course, college football is in action. This afternoon, the NBA season kicks off with the Boston Celtics playing the Detroit Pistons.
The Boston Celtics are at a bit of a crossroads. Last season, they were up 3-1 on the 76ers before they lost the final three games, including a game at home, and were knocked out of the playoffs. How did the Celtics respond to that loss? They decided it was time for them to part with a superstar, Jaylen Brown. In fairness, Brown was expressing discontent with the organization and clearly didn't want to be partnered with Jayson Tatum.
The Celtics made a clear choice, and now they have to live with it. Tatum will now be in his first full season after tearing his Achilles in the playoffs a couple of years ago. Tatum shouldn't have any struggle with being the top option on the team. However, he has always had excellent secondary options. I'm not sure Paul George or Derrick White will be at the same level as what he had with Brown. Mitchell Robinson should help the defense and rebounding, but he's injured regularly. This could be a tough year for Boston.
CELTICS AGREE TO SEND JAYLEN BROWN, 2024 FINALS MVP, TO 76ERS IN BLOCKBUSTER NBA TRADE: REPORT
The Detroit Pistons lost 68 games in the 2023-24 season. Take a second read of that sentence. They lost 68 games in one season. They won 44 games the next year and made the playoffs. Last season, they won 60 games and a playoff series. The next step forward would be to win another series in the playoffs and make the Eastern Conference Finals. Cade Cunningham is the leader of this team, and his health pretty much dictates how well this team will do.

The Pistons are relatively deep as a club. They have elite shooting from deep with Duncan Robinson. Ausar Thompson is one of the better young forwards in the league. He needs to take a big step forward this season on offense if the team wants to improve from last year. John Collins will add some rebounding and athleticism, but he isn't as good a shooter as Tobias Harris. Jalen Duren was signed to a long-term deal, but there are still talks about trades for Domantas Sabonis.
For tonight's game, the line has moved in favor of the Celtics, and I'm just not sure that I see it. I don't think the Celtics are that impressive a team. They have the advantage with Paul George, but I think the interior of Detroit is better than the interior of Boston. I'm going to back the Pistons on the moneyline here. Sharp money says otherwise, so it is a risk, but I think them at home, with a better interior, against a team with two new starting lineup pieces is a better look. Give me Detroit.
