Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning sees a different version of J.J. McCarthy than the one who struggled in Minnesota.
Speaking on The Colin Cowherd Podcast, Manning pointed to McCarthy's recent play with the Giants as evidence that a fresh start is already paying off.
McCarthy, acquired from the Vikings in late September for a 2027 fifth-round pick, has appeared in three games for New York. He first drew notice in the fourth quarter against the New Orleans Saints, when he entered with little to lose and threw for 243 yards in a near-comeback. He followed that with a strong outing in his first start against the Houston Texans, helping the Giants secure an overtime win.
Through those appearances, McCarthy has posted a 95.2 passer rating while throwing for 495 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
Manning credited the early reps, particularly in two-minute situations against the Saints, for helping McCarthy settle into a rhythm.

Arsenal are preparing to launch negotiations over an extended deal for first-choice goalkeeper David Raya despite the Spaniard recently admitting he would like to play in his homeland one day. Meanwhile, neither Barcelona nor Real Madrid are expected to make an imminent move for the 31-year-old shot-stopper in upcoming transfer windows.
According to Football Insider, the north London hierarchy want to tie their Spanish custodian down beyond his current 2028 expiration date to fend off any future interest from La Liga. Speculation linking him with Spain's two biggest clubs emerged after he told Spanish media last week that he hopes to play in his native top flight eventually. However, the goalkeeper insisted in the same interview that he remains content at the Emirates Stadium.
Having silenced initial sceptics following his move from Brentford to establish himself as the Premier League's standout goalkeeper in recent seasons, Raya registered his fifth clean sheet in eight top-flight outings against Everton last weekend before narrowly losing out on Monday's Yashin Trophy to international team-mate Unai Simon.
Explaining why a switch to Spain is unlikely soon on the Transfer Insider podcast, journalist Pete O'Rourke said: "If he were to leave ******* nal, there's no immediate opening for one of the big boys in Spain right now as well. Barcelona have got Joan Garcia, and it looks like Courtois is going to sign a new contract at Real Madrid as well, so I don't see any opening for David Raya right now.
"The player is happy at ******* nal, and obviously ******* nal are very happy with him, so I think any potential move back to his native Spain will be probably on the back burner for a while just yet."

Thursday night was gut-check time for the Carolina Panthers, who were fresh off an embarrassing 30-point loss to the one-win Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7. But that gut would just keep taking shot after shot, until the Green Bay Packers came out of Lambeau Field with a 27-19 win.
So, is this latest letdown the beginning of the end for the 2026 Panthers? Well, maybe it's not as deflating as some may think.
Here are our top takeaways from the Week 8 defeat:
For a second straight outing, the Panthers' offensive line greatly hampered quarterback Bryce Young.
Young took six sacks and, according to ESPN, was pressured on a career-high 22 of his dropbacks—many of which came ridiculously quickly. Heck, the Packers even got home on three-man rush at one point.

Everton manager David Moyes omitted Manchester City loanee Jack Grealish from his matchday squad for a disciplinary infraction before watching his side claim a 3-1 victory over Newcastle United on Thursday night. Despite the England winger's absence at the Hill ***** inson Stadium, the Merseysiders comfortably advanced into the last eight of the Carabao Cup.
According to talkSPORT, the 31-year-old playmaker was axed from the fourth-round tie following an unauthorised absence from a recent Everton training session. Grealish had previously missed last weekend's 2-0 Premier League defeat against ***** nal, though club officials attributed that initial omission to illness. On the pitch, goals from James Garner, Hayden Hackney and Thierno Barry rendered Dan Burn's late consolation for the visitors meaningless.
Prior to last weekend's clash with the Gunners, the attacker had been included in every matchday squad since returning to Merseyside late in the summer window, making three league starts and two substitute appearances after playing 77 minutes in last month's third-round cup win over Wolves.
Confirming his absence alongside defender Jarrad Branthwaite ahead of kick-off on Thursday, Everton wrote in a post on X: "Jarrad Branthwaite remains sidelined for a second successive game due to concussion protocols, while Jack Grealish is unavailable for selection due to a breach of Club discipline."
Having joined City from Aston Villa for £100 million in 2021, the England international initially moved to Everton on loan last term and registered two goals and six ***** ists across 20 outings before suffering a season-ending foot injury in January.

The Kansas City Royals made their first big offseason move on Thursday by cutting ties with closer Carlos Estévez. The team declined his $13 million club option, which means he hits the open market. Instead of paying that high price, Kansas City will hand him a $2 million buyout. This decision clears the books but leaves a huge hole in the bullpen after he led the league with 42 saves in 2025.
At the same time, the club exercised a $2.5 million option on right-hander Tony Gonsolin. Per MLB.com Royals, this move keeps a former All-Star under contract for 2027 despite his recent injury struggles. It is a low-cost gamble for a pitcher who once went 16-1 with a 2.14 ERA in 2022. After ending last season with a 5.07 bullpen ERA that ranked 29th in the majors, the Royals must acquire all available pitching help.
Letting Estévez walk feels risky, but the math makes sense for a small-market team. He signed a two-year, $22.2 million deal before 2025 and delivered a 2.45 ERA that year. However, his 2026 season was a disaster filled with injuries and blown saves. He was limited to just one appearance before a comebacker hit his foot and a rotator cuff strain ended his year. According to Yardbarker, his strikeout rate dropped while his walk rate climbed in 2025, showing he was already losing a step.
Paying $13 million for a pitcher who might not even throw a pitch in 2027 is hard to justify. The Royals are better off taking the $2 million buyout and trying to find a cheaper replacement. They need to fix a relief corps that allowed too many runs and lost too many games. The 69-93 record from last year proves the bullpen was a major problem that this move attempts to address.
Bringing back Gonsolin is a different kind of bet, one based on potential rather than recent results. He joined the team on August 13 while recovering from elbow surgery he had in August 2025. In just one major league outing this year against the White Sox, the 32-year-old surrendered five runs across 2 2/3 innings. Per Royals Keep, the $2.5 million price tag is very affordable for a starter with his career stats of 37 wins and 13 losses.

UFC Fight Night 293 has a new main event.
Heavyweights Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Johnny Walker will collide in the Nov. 7 main event at Meta APEX in Las Vegas. The original main event was to be a welterweight matchup between Sean Brady and Gabriel Bonfim, but it was canceled due to injury.
Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently informed MMA Junkie of the booking but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. The news was first reported by Laerte Viana.
It's not the first time Cortes-Acosta (17-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) has stepped in on short notice for the promotion. In November 2025, he traveled from Arizona to Qatar on three days' notice and finished Shamil Gaziev in 88 seconds. This time, Cortes-Acosta aims to snap a two-fight skid after back-to-back unanimous decision losses against Alexander Volkov and Curtis Blaydes.
Walker (23-10 MMA, 9-7 UFC) is 2-1 in his most recent three outings and is coming off a terrifyingly brutal first-round knee knockout on Oct. 3 vs. Mick Parkin. The win was his UFC heavyweight debut and bounced him back from a split decision loss to Dominick Reyes.

Melania Trump made a case for wardrobe repetition by bringing back her slit-front Maison Ullens skirt for her latest outing. The former model accompanied her husband, President Donald Trump, to cast their ballots during early voting at the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections on October 24.
Melania looks simply stunning today
pic.twitter.com/NblYxXsU7Y— Fan Page Melania Trump (ladymelaniafp) October 24, 2026
Melania Trump's outfit for the outing struck a delicate balance between approachable civic duty attire and high-end designer sophistication. She wore a high-waisted, camel-beige pencil skirt crafted by Belgian luxury fashion house Maison Ullens. She originally sported it during a trip to Brussels, Belgium, in May 2017.
The archival piece is made from soft leather tailored into geometric, paneled segments. Fine tonal contrast stitching outlined each panel, creating a grid-like structural detailing across the front and hip seams. The skirt featured a mid-length hem falling just below the knees. Moreover, a clean vertical slit at the center-front, offered ease of movement while adding a subtle modern edge to the traditional pencil silhouette.

The First Lady paired the skirt with a relaxed light-blue ****** on-down shirt. She wore the cotton poplin shirt with an unbuttoned, wide-spread collar and rolled-up three-quarter sleeves. It gave her upper half an effortless feel. The light blue hue provided a flattering contrast against the warm beige tone of the skirt. Tucking the shirt into her skirt's waistband highlighted her natural waist.
Trump completed her look with classic Christian Louboutin Patent Pigalle 120 Pumps in Nude. The glossy patent leather shoes featured the brand's signature red soles, pointed toes and a 120 mm stiletto heel. They not only elongated her frame but also paired well with the skirt.

A source claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's visit to Nottingham did not please one royal. The news comes at a time when the Sussexes' relationship with the Firm remains notably strained. That said, the Duke recently discussed his desire to reconcile with his brother, Prince William, and his father, King Charles, in an interview with GQ.
Sources are suggesting that Princess Catherine is apparently "seething" over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's appearance in Nottingham. The outing marked a return to the kind of public engagements typically ****** ociated with royal duties.
As per RadarOnline.com, an insider said, "Catherine's frustration had intensified into her being consumed by fury following the Sussexes' Nottingham engagement, which revived painful memories of the couple's public criticism of the royal family."
They claimed that Catherine had long steered clear of confrontations with Harry and Meghan to respect William's feelings, but she is now becoming less willing to keep her thoughts to herself. The source added, "She is said to be absolutely seething behind closed doors over Harry and Meghan's latest appearances, and the scenes in Nottingham have brought years of frustration bubbling back to the surface."
The source further explained that, from Kate Middleton's perspective, it is deeply upsetting to watch the Sussexes return to Britain and receive considerable attention. The Princess of Wales is reportedly particularly aggrieved to see the pair greeting crowds and visiting local charities. They added that the non-working royals are now doing engagements almost identical to the royal duties they left behind.

CLEVELAND — The Guardians have repeatedly shown they are not going to live in their fears during the MLB playoffs.
On Sunday, Oct. 18, Game 5 of the American League Championship Series proved the bold approach can backfire.
For the first time, the Guardians paired starting pitcher Parker Messick with catcher Patrick Bailey instead of Austin Hedges. Perhaps Messick still would have had a rough outing if Hedges were catching. Although Messick insisted his arm and body feel good, he has pitched 200 innings in the 2026 regular season and postseason combined — far more than he had ever pitched in a single college or minor-league season.
Whether Messick is fatigued or fresh, the bottom line is the Guardians used a new wrinkle with a rookie pitcher under the bright lights of the playoffs, and he did not perform well in a monumental Game 5.
Messick struggling is certainly not the only reason the Guardians lost 3-1 to the Tampa Bay Rays at Progressive Field and now trail 3-2 in the best-of-seven ALCS as the series returns to St. Petersburg, Florida, for Game 6 at 8:08 p.m. Monday, Oct. 19, at Tropicana Field.

Paris Saint-Germain have a selection problem on the left of defence before their Champions League meeting with Barcelona: Nuno Mendes is injured, and Lucas Digne is the natural alternative against Lamine Yamal. Mundo Deportivo reported the situation on 19 October, describing Mendes as Luis Enrique's preferred answer to the Barcelona winger.
The timing matters for the Catalans, with Yamal in excellent form. His impact in Barcelona's comeback against Galatasaray underlined the threat PSG will need to manage on Tuesday.
Digne's recent outing against Strasbourg did little to strengthen his case. Mundo Deportivo **** sed the Frenchman's display in PSG's 3-1 defeat as laboured and lacking in decisiveness, and reported that Luis Enrique substituted him as he changed course after starting several reserves.

That leaves the coach weighing a natural replacement whose latest performance raised questions, rather than simply making a like-for-like switch without concern. Digne is also a former Barcelona player, having spent two seasons at the club from 2016 to 2018.

The timing matters for the Catalans, with Yamal in excellent form. His impact in Barcelona's comeback against Galatasaray underlined the threat PSG will need to manage on Tuesday.
Digne's recent outing against Strasbourg did little to strengthen his case. Mundo Deportivo **** sed the Frenchman's display in PSG's 3-1 defeat as laboured and lacking in decisiveness, and reported that Luis Enrique substituted him as he changed course after starting several reserves.

Bears QB Caleb Williams isn't satisfied despite Tom Brady's praise appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Chicago Bears' star quarterback Caleb Williams made a winning return from injury, leading his team to another victory against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. His eye-catching performance earned high praise from NFL legend Tom Brady, but Williams himself remained far from completely satisfied with his outing.
During the broadcast, Brady expressed his belief that Williams had delivered the best performance of his professional career so far. However, when asked about Brady's ****** sment during the postgame press conference, Williams said that he still had plenty of room to improve.
"I didn't know I went 30-for-36," Williams said. "I've got to go back and watch the tape. Winning covers up things, and losing shows everything. We'll go back, be true tellers about ourselves, look in the mirror, and figure out what we need to fix and get better at."

Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan caught six of nine targets for 86 yards in a Week 6 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
SOURCE: USA TODAY
Why It Matters: McMillan followed his career-best 14 reception, 192-yard, two-touchdown performance in Week 4 against Detroit with another solid outing after the team's Week 5 bye. The second-year player is averaging 9.4 targets per game this season and has five or more catches and 75 or more yards in four of five games. He is a consistent WR2 in all formats, including Week 7 against Tampa Bay.

The Investec Champions Cup campaign is underway with an intriguing opening round of action whetting the appetite for the season ahead.
This one-off weekend of fixtures serves only as an hors d'ouevres with the competition not resuming until after the Nations Championship in November, and the eight English clubs will have plenty to do when it picks up again.
While Gloucester secured an excellent draw against defending champions Bordeaux-Begles, only Northampton were successful in their opening outing of the Prem contingent as the United Rugby Championship and Top 14 sides showed their strength.
Here are five things we learned:
So much for the Prem being a league on the up with a clutch of sides ready to challenge for the first time in a while. Even in victory, Northampton were not at their best against Cardiff in the wet, with the English performance of the round undoubtedly that of Gloucester at a bouncing Kingsholm on Friday evening.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard carried 28 times for 120 yards and a touchdown in a Week 6 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He also caught his only target for one yard.
SOURCE: USA TODAY
Why It Matters: Hubbard topped 100 yards for the second straight game, only the second time in his career he has had consecutive 100-yard outings. He also tied his career high with 28 rush attempts. Hubbard's touches have increased with fellow Jonathon Brooks out with a core injury. He had 27 combined touches in the first two games and 73 in the last three games. He warrants fantasy RB1 consideration for as long as Brooks is out, although he might be more of a high-end RB2 in Week 7 against the Buccaneers' stingy run defense.

Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young completed 20 of 39 passes for 281 yards with two touchdowns in a Week 6 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He also ran three times for six yards.
SOURCE: USA TODAY
Why It Matters: So far in 2026, Young certainly doesn't look like the quarterback who got benched last season. He has surpassed 280 yards passing in all five of his outings this season (he entered the season with four such games in his career). Young now has 11 touchdown passes against two picks this season and is a strong QB2 at this point, even against an improving Tampa Bay defense in Week 7.

Cam Skattebo faced a tough outing during the Giants' loss against the Saints for one particular reason, but his reaction has been humble and one that is focused on growth.
Cam Skattebo is a New York Giants fan-favourite, to say the least. During their Week 5 tie with the Washington Commanders, though, the running back committed a cardinal sin at a crucial moment. Skattebo fumbled the football with the team already in field-goal range, costing them a crucial opportunity to win.
There are very few things that coaches dislike at the highest level of football more than poor ball security. Any NFL running back faces massive scrutiny if they do end up losing the football. Skattebo is no different, although his punishment seemingly went well beyond the criticism.
It seems John Harbaugh wasn't interested in messing about when it came to this situation. Skattebo is certainly going to have to earn his coach's trust back. In their Week 6 loss against New Orleans, the running back was only on the field for six snaps and was not called upon for a single carry.
Najee Harris took up the role instead, and it will have been fairly embarrassing for Skattebo. Some NFL stars might get upset if this happens, but the 24-year-old's response to it revealed a surprising amount of maturity.

The controversy surrounding Farid Basharat's UFC release continues to grow, with the former bantamweight now hitting back at Dana White's remarks. The 29-year-old was let go despite remaining unbeaten, finishing his UFC run with a perfect 7-0 record and an overall MMA record of 16-0.
One of the biggest talking points since Basharat's release has been his lack of finishes. Six of his seven UFC victories came by decision, but he consistently got the job done against tough competition. His most recent outing was a win over John Garza in July, adding to a resume that includes victories over Jean Matsumoto, Chris Gutierrez, and Taylor Lapilus.
White was asked why Basharat was not offered a new contract during the UFC Edmonton post-fight press conference. The UFC CEO suggested that a fighter's record is not always the only factor behind such decisions, pointing to possible issues with the matchmakers and fighters turning down bouts. He also hinted that there was a specific reason Basharat was not brought back.
Dana White hints there may be MORE to Farid Basharat’s UFC exit
“If you’re 16-0 with seven wins in the UFC and don’t get re-signed, there’s definitely a reason.”

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott completed 34 of 54 passes for 258 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in a Week 6 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Prescott also ran twice for seven yards.
SOURCE: USA TODAY
Why It Matters: Dallas' high-powered offense has sputtered the last two weeks, and Prescott has now gone four straight games with just one touchdown pass. It was also his second straight outing with multiple INTs. As bad as it was, you could argue it should've been worse -- a third interception was wiped away on a dubious roughing-the-passer penalty, and his only TD pass on the night came in the closing minute down 16 points (following another skaky roughing call). A matchup with the sputtering Eagles is on deck. We'll see if Prescott can rebound against a division rival. While he remains a QB1 based on talent, his production has reached a point where you should be looking at your other quarterback's matchups before plugging Prescott in.

The Tampa Bay Rays are one win away from reaching the World Series after defeating the Cleveland Guardians 3-1 in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series on Sunday. Behind another outstanding postseason performance from starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen and timely hitting throughout the lineup, Tampa Bay took a 3-2 lead in the best of seven series.
The Rays entered the matchup looking to build on Saturday's 7-3 victory, which evened the series at two games apiece. They delivered another strong performance in Cleveland, putting themselves in position to clinch the American League pennant on their home field.
Rasmussen was the biggest difference-maker Sunday, holding Cleveland to one run on four hits across seven innings. He consistently kept the Guardians' hitters off balance, limiting scoring opportunities and giving Tampa Bay's offense time to build an advantage.
The outing continued Rasmussen's impressive postseason run. His performance helped the Rays control the game from the early innings and put pressure on Cleveland to find answers against Tampa Bay's pitching staff.
Rasmussen's ability to work deep into the game also protected the bullpen, allowing the Rays to turn the final two innings over to their relievers with a lead.

Las Vegas Raiders TE Michael Mayer caught seven of his nine targets for 95 yards in a 33-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 6.
SOURCE: USAToday.com
Why it Matters: Although Mayer has been quiet in four of the six games this year, he has topped 80 receiving yards in two of his last three outings, tallying a combined 15 receptions in those two contests. The lack of consistency makes Mayer a risky play, but with the ceiling he has shown recently, he can at least be on the TE2 radar.

Death, taxes, and the Dallas Cowboys being no match for the Green Bay Packers in the 21st century.
Much was made about how it had been 10 years (Thursday was the official anniversary) since the Cowboys tasted victory against their longtime rivals. Sunday night offered the next opportunity, and we are all going to have to keep on waiting.
The Cowboys were never really in the game against Green Bay and seemed to be fighting themselves as much as they were the Packers. It is hard to believe that they had the mini bye to prepare for this as they looked as without preparation as a Cowboys team has looked in some time.
Dallas is officially 2-4 after their latest outing and while they have the "benefit" of playing in a down NFC East… they in no way look like a team that you can trust right now. In fact, they looked like that last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and only corroborated that notion at Lambeau Field.
This is a really tough moment for a Cowboys franchise that has experienced several of them within the last 1,000 days (and well beyond that, but you know what I mean). What happens next? Anything? Should something?

Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty rushed 10 times for 22 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 36 yards in a 33-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 6.
SOURCE: USAToday.com
Why it Matters: Jeanty scored his first rushing touchdown of the year, but he once again struggled to find much running room. Since topping 100 yards in the opener, Jeanty has been held below 60 rushing yards in five straight, failing to reach 30 rushing yards in his last two outings. His receiving numbers and overall workload give him a high floor, but Jeanty hasn't show elite upside.

Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee caught all four of his targets for 22 yards and lost a fumble in an 18-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6.
SOURCE: USAToday.com
Why it Matters: After three straight games with more than 60 receiving yards, Higbee had a quieter outing against the Cardinals. Still, he appears to have carved out a larger role in the offense in recent weeks, and Higbee should at least be a serviceable TE2.
