A tiny blue dress has stolen the spotlight this Halloween. Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen's baby daughter stepped into Halloween "Alice in Wonderland" style, complete with a satin skirt and sparkling tulle. Her parents also built a full storybook world around her, from a rabbit-hole tunnel to towering playing cards for her first Halloween celebration.
The photos appeared on Beau Society's Instagram account with the caption "We're all mad here…" The post also thanked the event lead, the venue, and the florists, photographer, photobooth, and design team.
Amid the snapshots covering the party, it was the protagonist who stole the show. Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen's seven-month-old daughter, Harper Haize Allen, was dressed as a tiny Alice in her parents' wonderland.
The party's theme was "Allen's in Wonderland," a play on "Alice in Wonderland" by customizing it for the Allen family. Additional photos shared by Raven Moore, wife of Allen's teammate DJ Moore, showed an entrance shaped like a giant clock that led into a long black-and-white tunnel.
Inside, red flowers hung over a signpost pointing to "Wonderland," beside an oversized red-spotted mushroom. Marquee letters spelled out "We're all mad here." They were flanked by giant King and Queen of Hearts cards, resembling Steinfeld and Allen respectively. Checkered floors, oversized chess pieces and standing playing cards completed the scene.

Son Heung-min will make his MLS postseason debut after helping the Los Angeles Football Club clinch a playoff bid.
Los Angeles FC clinched a spot in the MLS playoffs after a 2-2 draw with the LA Galaxy on Sunday, Oct. 25, reaching the postseason for the eighth time in the franchise's nine-year history.
"We still got two more games to play in the regular season," Heung-min said of LAFC's fight for playoff positioning. "We want to finish as high as possible so we can have a home game as many times as possible."
LAFC have 47 points and trail the San Jose Earthquakes and the Houston Dynamo by one point in the standings, and will face Minnesota United on Nov. 1 and the Seattle Sounders on Nov. 7.
Heung-min believes the black and gold missed an opportunity to tie San Jose in the standings after an offside call against teammate Denis Bouanga in the 29th minute of the first half resulted in his apparent goal being called back.

Speculation surrounding the long-term future of Ronald Araujo has intensified as his representative finally addressed the defender's mindset at Anfield. The Uruguayan international remains a central figure for the Premier League leaders despite persistent links to a continental exit.
The representative for Araujo has sought to clarify the Liverpool defender's current status following a wave of reports suggesting a potential move away from the Premier League. As one of the most consistent performers in the English top flight, Araujo has become a cornerstone of the defensive unit, leading to inevitable interest from across Europe's elite clubs looking to bolster their backlines.
However, despite the noise surrounding a possible departure, the message from his camp remains one of stability and contentment. His agent, Eduardo Crnjar, spoke about the player's current situation and how he feels about his surroundings in the North West of England. "Ronald is performing well , we're very happy with what he's offering, but it's still too early to talk about his future. He feels great, he's happy to be playing for Liverpool and helping the club and his teammates, as he's already said," Crnjar told WinWin Sports, as quoted by SPORT.
While the agent's comments provide some breathing room for the club, the broader context of the transfer market continues to loom over the situation. Several teams have been monitoring the Uruguayan's progress, aware that a defender of his calibre and age profile is a rare commodity in the modern game, especially given his proven track record in both La Liga and the Premier League.
The mention of a €55m valuation has frequently appeared in discussions regarding a potential transfer fee, a figure that many consider to be a bargain for a player of his international standing. Liverpool, however, would likely demand a significantly higher sum to even consider entering negotiations for a player who still has his best years ahead of him at the highest level of European football.

Packers' Josh Jacobs explains what misinterpreted TD celebrations actually meant appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Green Bay Packers failed to run the ball efficiently yet again despite leaving Lambeau Field with a 27-19 victory over the Carolina Panthers, but Josh Jacobs still drew plenty of attention all the same. After scoring a go-ahead one-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter, he put his hands behind his back as if he was wearing handcuffs.
The 2022 First-Team All-Pro was arrested in May regarding a domestic dispute with his then-girlfriend and pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property. The optics of such a TD celebration are obviously awful, but Jacobs claims his actions were misconstrued.
"Me and {wide receiver Savion Williams} came up with a celebration. They haven't seen the whole celebration," the former rushing yards leader and three-time Pro Bowl selection told reporters after the game, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. "Basically, last week, we said the first celebration when I score, I was going to thank God. That's what I did. The second was going to be break every chain, it's a gospel song. That was going to be the next celebration (he was immediately swarmed by his teammates). It's just a correlation.

Collin ***** ton has already made his mark on the Los Angeles Lakers in just four games with them this season. He's averaging 12 points in 17.8 minutes a game this season, but his impact has gone beyond his numbers.
He has been an igniter for them off the bench thanks to his ability to get buckets, handle the ball, create pace and get others involved. He has also sparked them defensively with his relentless pressure on the ball and his willingness to shadow opposing ball-handlers up and down the court. The guard has helped force turnovers, even when he hasn't been credited with a steal.
Coach JJ Redick said after Sunday's 132-123 win over the Utah Jazz that ***** ton has a "level of insanity" to him that helps the team. ***** ton explained after Wednesday's 16-point victory over the Los Angeles Clippers that he takes on a special mindset when he is on the court.
"Honestly, I would say when I step into one of those lines, it's us against them," ***** ton said. "I'm going to be doing whatever my team needs. For me, I feel like I turn into a different person when it's time to go. And I think my teammates know that. So they try to talk to me a little bit, but they know I'm in the zone and ready to go to war. And that's how I look at it. Whenever I step into those lines, it's wartime."
Off the court, ***** ton seems like an easy-going man who radiates a positive attitude of gratitude. On the court, he is ultra-aggressive, and that type of on-court attitude can be very contagious. This season's Lakers roster boasts several players who have a can-do spirit and seem willing to embrace their specific roles for the good of the team.

LaMelo Ball and Jonathan **** inga seemed to be having a go at Rudy Gobert during the Minnesota Timberwolves' game against the Golden State Warriors.
The Wolves went into the game without Anthony Edwards, and unsurprisingly, they didn't look like their usual selves. They suffered a 119-114 defeat in the end.
Gobert came under a lot of criticism for his performance, and Ball and **** inga seemingly yelling at him made it an even bigger story.
However, the Frenchman has now claimed that no such thing happened between him and his two teammates.
It really was a frustrating night for the Minnesota Timberwolves against the Golden State Warriors.

EJ Gibson was given two options with three seconds left in the game. Catch or run.
In the dying seconds of Ensworth football's game against Montgomery Bell Academy on Oct. 29, junior quarterback Isaiah Hasselbeck located junior tight end Champ Banks to pull within a point of the lead.
Going for the win on a 2-point conversion, Gibson gave his teammates a simple answer.
"Trust me, Give me the ball and I'm going to knock it in," the senior running back said.
The game winning conversion was the cherry on top of 200 rushing yard performance as Ensworth (5-5, 3-2 Division II-AAA East) stunned Montgomery Bell Academy (8-2, 3-2 Division II-AAA East) in a 15-14 victory.

Despite entering the postseason with a 20-11 record, their first time with double-digit losses in the regular season since 2019, the Notre Dame Pandas swept through four straight opponents, then pulled off a comeback for the ages against Beechwood (24-26, 22-25, 25-13, 25-14, 15-10) to complete the journey to a fifth straight Ninth Region championship.
For the second straight night, tournament MVP Teagan Kondik had her fingerprints on the final play, putting away her 27th kill to complete the comeback.
"Joy. Doing it for my teammates when we've had a hard season, for sure, faced a lot of adversity. I think ending the region with a kill was super special to do it for them," Kondik said.

Fresh off the franchise's first World Series victory, the Milwaukee Brewers are reading to celebrate with all of Wisconsin. After beating the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 5 on Wednesday, Brewers returned to Milwaukee on Thursday, and made their first major stop at the Green Bay Packers' primetime matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
During a break after the first quarter of Thursday's game, several players emerged from the tunnel at Lambeau Field with the World Series trophy held high, earning a roar from the Packers crowd.
The Brewers' appearance at Lambeau was slightly spoiled by right fielder Sal Frelick, who joined ESPN's "Sportscenter" for an interview while on the bus to Green Bay. Frelick was candid about how the celebrations had been going since beating the Rays on Wednesday.
"It's been crazy. Not a lot of sleep, late night last night, early bus to the airport this morning. Just got back here to Milwaukee and now we're headed up north," Frelick said, panning to show his teammates, including the trophy-carting ace Jacob Misiorowski.
Once in Lambeau, some players — including Frelick — opted to do a Lambeau Leap into the crowd as part of the first-quarter break.

Sammy Smith delivered a memorable performance in Friday's Love's RV Stop 225 at Talladega Superspeedway, securing his first career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victory in dramatic fashion. The Spire Motorsports driver started second, led a race-high 21 laps and emerged victorious following a chaotic overtime finish.
Smith established himself as a contender immediately, taking the lead for the first time on Lap 2. He remained competitive throughout the afternoon while battling several championship contenders and navigating multiple accidents.
The decisive moment came during overtime when Smith restarted on the inside of the front row alongside Layne Riggs. He received a strong push from Ty Majeski and remained near the front as the leaders battled for position. Smith ultimately gained the necessary momentum coming through the tri-oval and surged ahead of a four-wide battle for second place.
His No. 7 Chevrolet crossed the finish line just 0.091 seconds ahead of Tyler Ankrum, with teammate Austin Green finishing third. The victory came just hours after Smith announced plans to compete full time in the Truck Series in 2027.
It marked his first victory in 11 career Truck Series starts and provided an impressive preview of his upcoming full-time campaign.

One of the most basic realities of the NFL trade market is that, when a team adds a key player during a given season, someone will be taking a seat.
In Seattle, the "someone" who will be leaving the starting lineup after the arrival of guard Quenton Nelson is Anthony Bradford. With Nelson taking over at left guard and 2025 first-rounder Grey Zabel moving to right guard, former starting right guard Anthony Bradford will move to the bench.
"It's not an easy situation," coach Mike Macdonald told reporters on Thursday. "I thought Anthony played good football for us, and he has, and he's earned a significant role on our team, a starting-level role. It's one of those 'through not around' type of things with AB that is not easy.
"There's no way to sugarcoat it, and he believes this when we say this, how much we love him. The guys love him in the locker room. He's a fantastic teammate. We don't expect him to be jumping over joy in this situation because that's not realistic, but he's going to be a great teammate and he's going to stay ready.
"We know how this league works. You're a play away from him playing every play again. It's not an easy situation, but he's a tough cookie, and the guys will have his back as well and we're behind him as well, but it's not easy."

American Olympic gold medalist and PWHL star Kendall Coyne Schofield has announced that she is pregnant with her second child.
The 34-year-old, who married former NFL offensive lineman and Super Bowl champion Michael Schofield in 2018, shared the news on social media.
The announcement sheds light on Coyne Schofield's absence from the ice on Wednesday night, when Team USA faced off against Team Canada in Windsor, Ont. While named to the national team's fall training camp rosters, Coyne Schofield, a staple of the U.S. program since 2011, did not dress for the game.
A four-time Olympian, Coyne Schofield won her second gold medal at the Milan Cortina Winter Games in February. She has won seven IIHF Women's World Championships and established herself as one of the foundational figures in women's professional hockey and a key player in the creation of the PWHL.
Coyne Schofield gave birth to her first child, son Drew, in July 2023. Six months later, she was back on the ice for the PWHL's inaugural season in January 2024 as captain of the league's Minnesota franchise. The team won the first Walter Cup championship, and then another in 2025. Individually, Coyne Schofield has been one of the very best players in the PWHL over the last three seasons. Only Canadian captain Marie-Philip Poulin and teammate Taylor Fox (née Heise) have scored more career points than Coyne Schofield's 63 career points in 77 games, all scored with the Minnesota Frost since the PWHL's inaugural season in 2024.

ATLANTA — The thing Angel Reese learned in her first WNBA Finals appearance is that long series still go by fast. What's done is done, and what's to come is for the taking.
Trailing 3-2 in the series, and potentially 40 minutes from the experience ending, she and her Atlanta Dream teammates gathered together ahead of film sessions to talk through what it meant. They needed to gain confidence back following two losses marred by offensive woes. They emphasized how each could take a superstar turn, but everyone was needed.
By the end of the day's film and a final practice ahead of a must-win Game 6, they said they felt good about returning to Atlanta Dream basketball. They proved the talk true immediately.
"You could definitely tell we got our swagger back," Angel Reese said.
The Dream's offense tore out of its funk and past the Golden State Valkyries' suffocating defense in Game 6 on Thursday, a jolt to West Coasters settling in with their breakfast for a 12:30 p.m. ET/9:30 a.m. PT tip-off. The 80-69 win was more dominant than the final score indicated; the Dream led by 25 points with three minutes to go until the half.

The Dream's offense tore out of its funk and past the Golden State Valkyries' suffocating defense in Game 6 on Thursday, a jolt to West Coasters settling in with their breakfast for a 12:30 p.m. ET/9:30 a.m. PT tip-off. The 80-69 win was more dominant than the final score indicated; the Dream led by 25 points with three minutes to go until the half.

Luciano Spalletti said that Juventus players need to look at themselves after Gleison Bremer criticised his teammates for not showing enough character in Sunday's 3-0 Serie A defeat against Lazio, but says that he will be doing the same of himself: 'I need to ask myself questions and find the answers'.
The tension is palpable in Juventus circles following Sunday's 3-0 defeat at home against Lazio, which has left the Bianconeri eight points off the league leaders after just seven matches. They are currently worse off in terms of points than they were at the same stage of the 2025-26 season, just before Igor Tudor was dismissed from his position as head coach.

It was a miserable evening for Juventus supporters, some of whom turned on each other and began fighting in the stands. They were heavily criticised in Monday morning's newspapers and defender Bremer also chastised his teammates, claiming 'I can't carry everyone'.
"It is true, the coach gives indications, but we are the ones who need to put it into action on the field," said the Juventus defender after full-time on Sunday.

Gilberto Mora may have fuelled transfer speculation over a prospective move to Liverpool with his reaction to one supporter over the weekend.
Earlier this month, one Latin American reporter claimed that the Reds have already made an offer for the Mexican wonderkid, understood to be in the region of £38m.
The playmaker – who turned 18 last week – was a breakthrough star at the World Cup over the summer and has already made 75 senior appearances between club (Tijuana) and country.
Mora is currently sidelined with injury but was seen making his way back to the dressing room along with his teammates after their 0-0 draw against Puebla on Saturday.
When one spectator brandishing an LFC shirt excitedly shouted 'Liverpool' at the teenage playmaker, he replied with a thumbs-up gesture, sending the supporter into hysterics.

Milan picked up a 3-2 victory over Atalanta on Sunday evening to keep their unbeaten start to the 2026-27 Serie A season alive, but newspapers in Italy have highlighted a 'growing problem' with the Rossoneri under recently-appointed head coach Ruben Amorim.
Milan were 3-0 up after an hour thanks to goals from Goncalo Ramos, Adrien Rabiot and Mario Gila in San Siro. Record signing Ramos had an opportunity to make it four from the penalty spot, but was unable to convert at the second time of asking.

From there, Atalanta began to grow back into proceedings, reducing the deficit through Gianluca Gaetano in the 66th minute and then again through Nikola Krstovic in the 81st. It was a nervous wait for the final whistle for Milan from there on in, with a few important saves from goalkeeper Mike Maignan to keep the victory intact.
Post-match reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport claim that Milan are 'on the right track' under Amorim, but a 'growing issue' has been identified. The Pink Paper suggests that Amorim's system simply demands too much from the Milan players on a physical level, which might explain why the team seem unable to keep the same level of performance for the full 90 minutes.

Buffalo Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson faced backlash from the NFL world after getting ejected from the Week 6 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. He appeared to spit on Raiders tight end Brock Bowers, right after the Bills received a defensive holding penalty in the second quarter.
But Gardner-Johnson came to his senses pretty quickly. Talking to the media inside the locker room, he acknowledged that what he did was wrong. He let his emotions take control in the heat of the moment. That's certainly something that no veteran should do. Hence, he took to his Instagram Story and shared an apology.
"I want to take a moment to address my actions and sincerely apologize to my opponent, my teammates, my organization, and everyone who supports me," Gardner-Johnson wrote. "My passion and competitive nature have always been a huge part of who I am, but I also understand that there is a line that should never be crossed. The gesture I made toward my opponent was inappropriate, unnecessary, and not a reflection of the respect I have for him or this game."
Gardner-Johnson further noted that there's "no excuse" for spitting on his opponent, regardless of the intensity of the competition. He is playing his eighth season this year, making him a responsible figure in the Bills locker room.

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham sparked plenty of backlash this summer with her comments on transgender athletes in women's sports. And she doesn't seem to have any interest in staying out of the debate this offseason.
Cunningham has now weighed in on a viral protest out of Washington, where members of a high school girls' cross-country team walked off the course in protest of a transgender teammate. Cunningham offered her support for the runners.
Cunningham first drew national attention for her views on the topic in a July ESPN feature, saying she wanted to "protect women's sports."
"I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. And I'm like, 'I never once said that,'" Cunningham said, via ESPN. "I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men."
Cunningham later doubled down on her comments, saying her opinion was "common sense."

Duke cornerback Kimari Robinson has publicly apologized for swatting at a female trainer who was tending to one of his teammates. The incident, which was captured on the broadcast and went viral, occurred during the Blue Devils' loss to UNC on Saturday after Duke safety DaShawn Stone went down in a scary moment.
In a statement posted to social media, Robinson apologized for his conduct, saying that he had also apologized to the trainer in private after the game.
"I want to publicly apologize to the member of our training staff for how I acted toward her during Saturday's game. I was completely wrong, and she did not deserve that," Robinson wrote. "Immediately after the game, I apologized to her personally and checked to make sure she was okay."
Robinson added that his outburst stemmed from worry about Stone, who Robinson said "is like family."
"I was scared he might be seriously hurt. But being worried about him does not excuse how I treated her. I should have controlled my emotions, and I didn't," Robinson continued. "I'm truly sorry for my actions and for letting her, myself and our program down. I have to be better than that."

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — When J.J. McCarthy was thrust onto the field Sunday, he had never thrown a live pass to New York Giants teammate Malik Nabers.
He had never thrown more than a sideline or warmup ball to tight end Isaiah Likely.
Three weeks ago, McCarthy had never even heard a Giants play-call.
So when he took his first snap under center with 11:25 to play in the fourth quarter, the Giants trailing by 24 thanks in large part to three turnovers, McCarthy seemed more likely to continue the hole-digging than reverse trend.
An interception on his fourth pass furthered that theory.

Ash Gardner has spoken publicly for the first time about the alleged affair with teammate Georgia Voll that contributed to the breakdown of her marriage to Monica Wright.
Gardner said the situation became far more public than she expected and admitted she had been "naive" about the level of attention it would attract.
The controversy came to light earlier this year when Wright revealed the affair on social media. The relationship is believed to have begun during the Women's World Cup in India last year. Gardner has since apologised to Wright and said she has spent time reflecting on what happened.
Speaking to Australian outlet CODE Sports, Gardner acknowledged that her public image had taken a hit, saying, "My reputation has been tarnished with the public, but I guess something that I always try to strive to do when representing any team that I play in is be the best teammate that I can, and hopefully show what this team means to me when I'm playing for them."
The Australian vice-captain also said being a high-profile athlete means personal matters can attract intense public interest.
"Playing sport at a high level, you're open to having a platform, and sometimes with this comes interest from the public, and they want to know things about your personal life, and they invest, and then can make judgment either way of what you are or aren't doing."
Gardner admitted she was shocked when Wright publicly identified Voll, writing, "This is who my wife cheated on me with," alongside a photo of the teammate.
"I was certainly surprised, as you could imagine," Gardner said.
She added, "I certainly didn't expect the situation to take the path that it did, or to become as public as what it did. But I also understand that everyone has their own way of dealing with difficult situations."
Gardner said she now wants to focus on learning from the experience, having difficult conversations where necessary and moving forward with the Australian team.
She also said she understood Wright's perspective and tried to remain positive during what she described as a very difficult period.
