Meghan Markle is reportedly "questioning" whether the Sussexes' U.K. move was the right choice. Fans are aware that Prince Harry and Meghan moved to the U.K. on August 26 and intend to stay in the country for an extended period of time. However, the couple hasn't exactly received the warm welcome they were seemingly hoping to get. This has reportedly led to friction between Harry and Meghan.
Meghan Markle reportedly wishes to spend more time in the U.S., while her husband, Prince Harry, wants to stay in the U.K. longer. According to a report by Closer, almost three months later, the Suits alum is debating her decision to move to the U.K.
The ****** ss of Sussex did not enjoy her stay in Britain when she got married to the Duke. It seems like nothing much has changed, and she is "terrified" that she's in for another round of misery. "Then there's the uncertainty over how things are going to go with the royals and the British public. Meghan is understandably pretty anxious about that and already wondering if this was a mistake," the source added.
The Sussexes were seemingly trying to make inroads with the royal family when King Charles made an important announcement. The monarch released a statement via Lord Chamberlain, ****** erting that the Sussexes remain private citizens. Harry and Meghan cannot use royal ****** les (HRH) or participate in royal engagements.
The Sussexes released a statement stating that they "were a little surprised not to have been told about this in advance." The actress is reportedly hurt that there has been no acknowledgement of them from the royal family. It is quite "hurtful" because one positive word would silence their critics. On top of that, the bills are piling up for them, and the expenses are only increasing.

An ordinary laptop used to be the kind of purchase you could put off until the old one finally gave up.
I recently discussed this in my story, Intel CEO reveals a PC problem as Goldman cuts stock target, in which I shared how my friends struggled to choose new PCs due to soaring prices.
Moreover, the tech punditry says the problem goes deeper than a few disappointing deals.
Now, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) CEO Lisa Su has delivered a similar warning on November 3, echoing Intel (INTC) CEO Lip-Bu Tan's concerns about a difficult year ahead for the PC market in 2027.
Most of that pressure's coming from memory prices, but interestingly, AMD itself posted record quarterly sales, largely driven by booming server-chip sales.

Washington — President Trump has been asking advisers around him and on the phone whether Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should stay in his job, following Republicans' catastrophic losses Tuesday night, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell CBS News.
Some White House aides have predicted some of the blame for GOP midterm losses will be trained on Adm. Brad Cooper, the head of U.S. Central Command, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine, who both played big roles in guidance on the Iran war.
Still, other sources said the president hasn't decided to replace Hegseth. Before the election, Democrats were already trying to impeach Hegseth, and the likelihood of an impeachment effort could increase with Democrats holding strong majorities in both chambers.
Vice President JD Vance is blaming the war for the GOP defeat. "The reason we lost is the war," he said in a lengthy post on X Wednesday morning.

BUFFALO Funds, an actively managed mutual fund advised by Kornitzer Capital Management, released its third-quarter 2026 investor letter for "Buffalo Growth Fund". The letter can be downloaded here. The Buffalo Growth Fund advanced 4.57% in Q3, significantly outperforming the Russell 3000® Growth Index's 0.45%. The primary driver of this outperformance was stock selection in Information Technology, particularly among hyperscaler stocks that benefited from higher cloud revenue. However, rising oil prices and inflation challenged the market, prompting the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates for the first time since July 2023 and prompting caution within the Fund. The fund has reduced some positions, noting the cost of capital's impact on business models. There is optimism for hyperscalers following the upcoming Anthropic IPO, which could provide investor transparency for future capex. Also, check the Fund's top five holdings to see its best picks for 2026.
In its Q3 2026 investor letter, Buffalo Growth Fund noted that it sold its position in SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) during the quarter.

Buffalo Growth Fund stated the following regarding Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) in its Q3 2026 investor letter:
"In the previous quarter we determined the portfolio was lacking exposure to the memory ***** e and initiated small positions in both Micron and Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK). Unfortunately, the timing on Sandisk was poor as the stock advanced rapidly through the end of June and then experienced the bottom drop out with nasty momentum unwind in July. We decided to take losses on Sandisk and move on from a ***** e that has historically been incredibly cyclical. Typically, cyclical businesses like this aren't where we focus our time and this experience reminded us of that."

Two years ago, it seemed like ******* ody wanted to touch Intel (NASDAQ: INTC). The company that basically invented the modern chip industry had turned into its own cautionary tale, posting an $18.8 billion net loss for 2024 while it fell behind Nvidia in artificial intelligence (AI) and behind Taiwan's foundries in manufacturing.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Then something strange happened. The U.S. government bought a stake in Intel. So did Nvidia. So did SoftBank. Companies and governments don't usually hand over billions to a business they think is finished, and that's the real reason I think the next 14 months matter more for this stock than almost any stretch in Intel's recent history.
Turnarounds aren't real until a real, working product ships, and Intel is finally shipping. In July, the company said its newest Arizona fab had entered high-volume manufacturing on a subset of its Core Ultra Series 3 chips, known as Panther Lake, the first processor built on Intel 18A, which Intel calls the most advanced semiconductor process ever developed and manufactured in the United States. Its second-quarter 2026 release adds that the next node behind it, 18A-P, had already entered risk production, meaning Intel isn't just trying to catch up on one generation, it's trying to stay on pace for the one after. On the data center side, that same release says Intel also launched Xeon 6+, its first server chip built on 18A.
Money talks, and in 2025 three very different yet massive buyers said the same thing with their wallets. The U.S. government invested $8.9 billion in Intel common stock, structured largely out of unpaid CHIPS Act and Secure Enclave funding, in exchange for roughly 275 million shares and warrants for up to 241 million more. Nvidia added $5 billion, and SoftBank put in another $2 billion, both also in Intel common stock. None of this money really guarantees Panther Lake sells well, or that Intel's foundry business ever turns a real profit. But I think it's an odd thing to do if you think a company is circling the drain, and you don't have any faith in it.

With shares up by almost 700% over the last five years, Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) has been one of the biggest winners on the software side of the generative artificial intelligence (AI) megatrend. It has rapidly incorporated the new technology into its business model, leading to skyrocketing revenue and earnings.
That said, Palantir's stock rally has slowed over the last 12 months, leaving investors wondering whether it can return to the explosive growth it enjoyed in previous years. Let's dig into the pros and cons of the stock to decide what it might be worth by the end of 2027.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Right now, AI-hungry investors are mostly limited to the infrastructure side of the opportunity. This is where hardware companies like Nvidia and Micron build the chips that data center providers use to run and train large language models (LLMs). However, many leading consumer-facing AI software leaders are still privately held, putting them out of reach.
Palantir convincingly bucks the trend. Its business involves sifting through vast amounts of its clients' internal data to help them identify actionable insights like business trends, opportunities, and fraud. Generative AI proved highly synergistic with these tools, enabling operators to access insights via natural language prompts rather than advanced interfaces. Demand has been explosive.

MANAMA, Bahrain - The looming possibility of U.S. strikes on Iran has been met with weary nervousness in the Persian Gulf, as Gulf officials double down on efforts to break through a U.S.-Iran impasse that they know will leave their region vulnerable.
Publicly and privately, leaders in Persian Gulf nations, which bore the brunt of Iranian retaliation because they are home to U.S. bases, are calling for de-escalation as concerns about President Donald Trump's war plans grow. Mediators from Qatar arrived in Tehran on Friday as part of the efforts to negotiate an end to the war, according to a person briefed on the talks, who described the trip as a "last-ditch effort to broker an interim deal between Iran and the U.S." that was happening "in coordination with the U.S."
Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post.
Trump has seemed open to a deal - but also to resuming strikes, according to a separate official briefed on the talks, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and envoy, have been pushing for a deal, the official added, as others - including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth - appear opposed to it.
"The next two days will be crucial in determining how the situation unfolds," said an Iranian official, who like some others interviewed for this story spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. The Americans, they added, are "seeking a positive breakthrough" ahead of the midterm elections.

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.

Dawson Sutton experienced an eventful afternoon in Friday's Love's RV Stop 225 at Talladega Superspeedway, finishing 19th after leading one lap and encountering tire problems. The Rackley W.A.R. driver started 26th and demonstrated competitive speed during the middle portion of the race.
Sutton advanced through the field as the opening stages featured shifting drafting lanes and changing pit strategies. His No. 26 Chevrolet became particularly competitive during Stage 2, when he finished seventh and collected four valuable points.
Sutton also benefited from an efficient pit stop following the stage, moving toward the front as competitors employed different tire strategies. However, his afternoon became more challenging when a tire problem caused him to slow during the final stage.
The issue contributed to a caution for debris, forcing Sutton to recover lost track position during the remaining portion of the race. Despite the setback, he continued competing and avoided the late accident that eliminated multiple drivers. Sutton ultimately completed 85 laps and finished 19th, one lap behind winner Sammy Smith.
The result earned him 23 points and helped him maintain 18th in the overall NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series standings with 366 points.

Combined, the Yuba City and River Valley High girls volleyball teams had not won a Sac-Joaquin playoff match in nearly 20 years – a negative trend that changed Tuesday all across town.
– YC (20-9) held serve at home to win its first playoff match since 2015 with a four-set win over Buhach Colony to advance into the SJS Division III quarterfinals where it will face a familiar foe in Roseville (19-17) of the Foothill Valley League, at 6 p.m. today (Thursday) in Placer County. It is a four-five matchup, with Roseville the No. 4 seed in the bracket. Roseville has won eight straight over YC dating back the last four seasons. The Honkers' last win was 2022 when the current senior corps was still in eighth grade, according to records.
– RV (15-15) avenged last year's five-set playoff loss to Oakdale with a sweep at home Tuesday to advance into a quarterfinal date with No. 1 Ripon (25-4) at 6 p.m. in San Joaquin County. RV last faced Ripon in 2018 – the same year of its last postseason victory in the SJS playoffs when current head coach Samee Taylor was a senior setter/opposite attacker on the squad that finished 25-5 and won the Capital Valley Conference in the regular season. In the playoffs, Taylor and RV got to the 2018 quarterfinals where it was derailed by Del Oro in four sets.
Taylor was an everyday athlete, appearing in 55 sets for the Falcons that year. She collected 60 kills, 13 blocks and had 45 ******* ists.
– The top-seed in D-V won its 32nd match with a straight-set victory over Westlake Charter Tuesday in Sutter. The Huskies (32-5) host Linden, once the home of Yankees slugger Aaron Judge, at 6 p.m. today in the quarterfinals. Sutter has won 15 straight and only dropped one set since the High Sierra Tournament in Reno the first weekend in September.

DOVER — Senior Jules Stowell said the St. Thomas Aquinas volleyball team has talked all season about its mentality and ability to respond after digging themselves a hole.
They had to put that mentality to use Thursday night.
Fourth-seeded St. Thomas fell behind 7-2 in the opening set and later found itself tied at 20 before closing strong. The Saints carried that momentum through the next two sets to earn a 3-0 sweep of No. 13 Prospect Mountain in a Division III preliminary-round match.
St. Thomas (14-3) will host No. 5 Trinity (14-3) in a Division III quarterfinal Saturday at 6 p.m. Trinity advanced with a 3-0 win over No. 12 Sunapee.
"We came out struggling a little bit, but we definitely fought back," St. Thomas freshman Hadley DeStefano said. "I mean, in the playoffs, teams come to fight and teams come to win. So, no matter who the team is, we know they're going to come fight as hard as they can and I think just as a team, it's really symbolic that we fought back."

Frankie Muniz delivered an encouraging performance during Friday's Love's RV Stop 225 at Talladega Superspeedway, finishing 12th after starting 31st. The Team Reaume driver gained 19 positions during an afternoon filled with major accidents and unpredictable drafting conditions.
Muniz began the race near the rear of the field, facing the challenge of working through a competitive 36-truck lineup. His No. 33 Ford remained in competition during the opening stage while several drivers encountered significant problems. The first major accident occurred on Lap 17, eliminating multiple competitors and dramatically reshaping the running order.
Muniz avoided involvement in the incident and continued improving his position as the race progressed. Another accident on Lap 57 eliminated additional trucks, creating opportunities for drivers who had remained out of trouble. Muniz continued competing through the final stage and stayed on the lead lap as the field prepared for an overtime finish.
He ultimately crossed the finish line 12th, completing all 86 laps and finishing 10.163 seconds behind winner Sammy Smith. The result earned Muniz 25 points and represented an important performance during his 2026 Truck Series campaign.
His ability to advance through the field and complete the demanding superspeedway event provided a positive result for Team Reaume.

Oct. 29—With five starters and five other returners, it is no surprise that the Gonzaga women's basketball team was tapped to win the Pac-12 Conference championship in a media poll released Thursday.
The Bulldogs' top seven scorers return from a team that finished 24-10 and won the West Coast Conference **** le in its final season in the league.
Oregon State was picked to finish second in the remodeled conference. The Beavers may have been picked second based on their reputation and penchant for postseason success. In the final year of the original Pac-12 (2023-24), they advanced to the Elite Eight.
San Diego State, which won the Mountain West championship last year, was picked third followed by Colorado State, Boise State, Washington State, Fresno State, Texas State and Utah State.
Gonzaga received 16 of 19 first-place votes. Oregon State received one and San Diego State received two.

Landen Lewis produced one of the strongest recovery performances in Friday's Love's RV Stop 225 at Talladega Superspeedway, finishing sixth after starting 30th. The Niece Motorsports driver overcame a difficult qualifying effort and advanced 24 positions during the chaotic 86-lap event.
Lewis initially faced the challenge of working through a competitive field while navigating the changing drafting lanes. However, his No. 45 Chevrolet demonstrated impressive speed during the middle stages, allowing him to move toward the front. Lewis finished sixth in Stage 2, earning five additional points while establishing himself among the contenders.
He continued running competitively during the final stage, briefly leading the outside drafting lane as Tanner Gray challenged from the inside. The race's changing circumstances provided opportunities to gain positions, and Lewis avoided the accidents that eliminated several other drivers.
When the event entered overtime, Lewis remained among the leading competitors and positioned himself to capitalize on the final-lap battle. He ultimately finished sixth, just 0.272 seconds behind winner Sammy Smith. The result earned Lewis 36 points and marked another impressive performance during his part-time Truck Series campaign.
His ability to advance from 30th to sixth demonstrated the strength of his Chevrolet and his ability to compete in superspeedway racing.

The third-seeded ***** ans began their run with a sweep (207-188, 203-194, 255-214) over No. 14 Windermere, but that would be their last comfortable victory of the tournament.

Harpeth Hall outlasted Christ Presbyterian Academy, 2-1, to capture the 2026 TSSAA girls soccer state championship in Division II-AA at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga on Oct. 29.
It's the first championship for Harpeth Hall since 2021 and the program's third overall, including its 2013 ******* le. It was the Honeybears' first state tournament appearance since 2024 and first state championship appearance since 2023.
Harpeth Hall upset three-time defending state champion Baylor, 1-0, in the semifinals on Oct. 28 to advance to the championship.
Alexa Sarb and Olivia Grace Akatue scored Harpeth Hall's two goals. But it was CPA's Livi Langan that opened the scoring with a goal 7:31 into the game. That came off a CPA corner kick 30 seconds earlier as CPA chased its first state ******* le since 2018.
Harpeth Hall (17-8-4) would slowly build momentum after giving up that opening goal, taking four of the next five shots in the game before Akatue's equalizer in the 27th minute off an ******* ist from Sarb.

EDMESTON – Gavin Zinger got the game winner early in the second half as the host Panthers, the No. 2 seed, beat third-seeded Gilboa-Conesville/Roxbury, 2-1, in the Section IV Class D boys soccer semifinals Wednesday, Oct. 28.
It was the third win the Panthers, the Tri-Valley League and Tri-Del champions, and defending section champions, have had over G-C/R, the Delaware League champions, this season.
Last season, the two squads tied twice, including in the section finals, but Edmeston advanced to the state playoffs on penalty kicks.
This season, the Panthers swept three games despite being outplayed at times by G-C/R, which controlled the first half Wednesday.
Dominic Grieco scored to give G-C/R a 1-0 lead, but an own goal just before halftime evened the match.

Ahead of Bayern Munich's DFB-Pokal match against FC Magdeburg, the team lined up on both sides of the tunnel exit for one reason: to give newly crowned 2026 Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane a guard of honor. The Englishman walked out to applause and cheers—a reception he found almost unbelievable.
"It was quite strange. I don't usually enjoy this sort of thing very much," Kane admitted (via Bild as captured by X account iMiaSanMia). "When I came out for the warm-up and everyone was standing there applauding, I don't know… I felt almost a little bit embarrassed. But of course, I realise that it's a big deal."
Although Kane remained on the bench for the entirety of the match, the Bavarians cruised to a 6-1 victory to advance to the next round. Up next is Der Klassiker this weekend in a high-stakes battle for the top spot in the Bundesliga.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer pushed back Sunday on comments made by former first lady Michelle Obama last year that U.S. voters aren't ready to elect a female president.
"Listen, I have got a lot of colleagues who I think are probably interested in running for president, and I've heard everyone say, 'You can't have this person or that person,'" the governor told NBC News' "Meet the Press."
"I would put my money on any Democratic governor in the country against [Vice President] JD Vance or [Secretary of State] Marco Rubio in 2028," she added, pointing to two Republicans widely expected to run for president in two years.
Asked directly whether a woman could be the best choice to beat a potential GOP presidential nominee in 2028, Whitmer simply said, "I do."
In 2025, Obama said in public remarks: "As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain't ready. That's why I'm like, don't even look at me about running, because you all are lying. You're not ready for a woman. You are not."

Manchester United is finding wins hard to come by at the moment. Indeed, Michael Carrick's team is currently on a run of six matches in all competitions without a victory. Sunday's 1-1 draw against Leeds United was the latest underwhelming performance and result by the Old Trafford outfit.
There were, however, some positives for Carrick to pick out of the display, not least the performance of Carlos Baleba. In his first Premier League start as a Manchester United player, the Cameroonian was a commanding presence in central midfield, helping his new team on both sides of the ball.
LEEDS, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 18: Carlos Baleba of Manchester United controls the ball whilst under pressure from Dominic Calvert-Lewin of Leeds United during the Premier League 2026/27 match between Leeds United and Manchester United at Elland Road on October 18, 2026 in Leeds, England. (Photo by Michael Steele/Getty Images)
Carrick reshuffled his midfield unit for the trip to Elland Road, deploying Baleba and Andrey Santos at the base. This gave United a strong foundation to build from. Ahead of the pair, Bruno Fernandes and Youri Tielemans were positioned in an advanced role where they could influence the attacking play in front of them.
It was a midfield set up that gave Manchester United greater control of the match even if it still struggled to create good enough opportunities to find the back of the net. In Baleba, Carrick might finally have a two-way midfielder to build around with Santos also demonstrating his potential.

Guernsey FC manager Tony Vance praised the character of his side as they came from a goal down to beat Little Common 2-1.
The victory was the Green Lions' fourth consecutive Southern Combination Premier Division win and moved them up to fifth in the table.
Sam Ellis had given Little Common a first-minute lead as he beat the offside trap and finished past Seb Sheppard.
But Fin du Port equalised three minutes later when he lobbed the goalkeeper and Archie Drillot got proved to be the winner seven minutes into the second half as he reacted quickest to Will Fazakerley's saved shot.
"It was good character from the boys - to go in [at half-time] 1-1 was probably a bit harsh on us and fortunate for them because we had all the pressure, we were pushing them back and we had some good quality at times, but the end product wasn't quite there," Vance told BBC Radio Guernsey.

Enzo Maresca had predicted Phil Foden would score, and he did score. For much of Foden's career that would scarcely have seemed an outlandish prediction. Not now. Foden's had struck 27 times for Manchester City alone in 2023-24. Yet when Ipswich arrived at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, his drought spanned 35 games for City, plus two for England that may have cost him a place at the World Cup.
But there are two Fodens. Maresca remembered the teenage prodigy, the player who had won the individual awards, the seeming generational talent before he became the goal-shy City substitute. "With Phil I said many times, I know him from years ago, for me he's one of the best Premier League players," said the City manager, who had worked with Foden in his previous times at the Etihad Stadium. "And since day one it's my duty to help him to again be one of the best players."
That process got off to something of a false start. By the time City kicked off against Ipswich Foden had, in effect, sat out four-and-three-quarter games. His first-half red card in the Manchester derby was followed by a three-match domestic suspension. He was an unused substitute in the Champions League defeat against Paris Saint-Germain.
Even before being banned, he had been usurped, and under successive managers. In first Pep Guardiola's valedictory season and then Maresca's first in charge, Rayan Cherki has been the No 10 who has starred and sparkled. Foden has provided less magic. Perhaps it says something for the luxuries Maresca enjoys that Foden has felt the more prosaic player in his position.
Perhaps it is an added complication, too, that in Enzo Fernandez he has costly competition emerging, with the £125m signing spending the second half against PSG operating as the most advanced of the midfield trio. A lesson of that defeat may be that, against elite opposition, Maresca requires both Ayyoub Bouaddi and Elliot Anderson to anchor the midfield, perhaps meaning Fernandez is the most advanced of the trio.

Young, hungry, and increasingly central to Gian Piero Gasperini's project. Roma, after beating Genoa, continues to generate buzz, especially for their green line, which has become something much more concrete than a simple emergency decision.
And the symbol of this new path is Emanuele Lulli, who made a splash on Saturday night with his first Serie A goal and is now close to signing a new contract with the Giallorossi.
Corriere dello Sport claims that Roma are reportedly preparing to extend the young winger's contract until 2031, with negotiations already at an advanced stage.
The current agreement expires in 2027, and the parties are working to adjust his salary and extend his contract as long as possible, thus securing one of the talents who has most impressed Gasperini in these first months. Lulli's growth has been rapid.
Born in Palestrina on August 17, 2007, just a few months ago he was watching the first team from afar. During the summer preparations, however, he stood out especially in the physical and athletic tests, where he was among the best in the group.

Rays on the verge of ensuring ultra-rare World Series phenomenon appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Tampa Bay Rays are being pushed to their limit by the Cleveland Guardians. Nonetheless, over the past two days, the Rays have shown why they were the best team in the AL this past season. After falling down 2-1 in the ALCS, the Rays have bounced back with two consecutive victories on the road — with Tampa Bay having taken a 3-2 lead in the series courtesy of a 3-1 win on Sunday.
With that victory, the Rays are now knocking on the door of the World Series, where the Milwaukee Brewers await. It seems like the postponement of Friday night's contest due to inclement weather helped them immensely, as Game 6 (as well as Game 7, if necessary) will be at Tropicana Field — giving Tampa Bay a golden opportunity to secure their third appearance in the Fall Classic.
Moreover, if the Rays were to win another game against the Guardians in the ALCS, they would ensure a rare World Series phenomenon with the Milwaukee Brewers already waiting on the other side of the bracket. As per Rays insider Steve Carney, if Tampa Bay were to advance to the next round, this would be the first World Series matchup in 46 years between two teams that have never won a ******* le.

Nashville SC is the first MLS club to clinch a spot in the 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup. The team has guaranteed a finish no worse than third in the league's overall standings, with matches still remaining on the 2026 schedule.
The math is simple: Nashville's position is now unreachable by any chasing club, even in a worst-case run to close out the season. That removes any dependency on other results and hands the front office an international fixture to plan around a year in advance.
Qualification doesn't end the ambition. Third place is the floor, not the ceiling, and Nashville still has reason to push for a higher finish before the playoffs begin. A stronger regular-season position carries weight heading into the postseason, where seeding and momentum matter.
The early clinch also gives the roster-building process a head start. Playing continental and domestic competitions at once demands depth — injuries, suspensions and fatigue all hit harder across a packed calendar — so locking in the Champions Cup spot now lets the front office plan accordingly instead of waiting on the regular season's final weeks.
The Concacaf Champions Cup is the region's top club competition, pitting MLS sides against teams from Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. For Nashville, it's a chance to test the squad against different styles and raise its profile beyond the domestic league — part of a broader push by MLS clubs to build credibility on the continental stage.
