🔮 That Murphy said that team was “playing for yourself” is certainly an interesting wrinkle, especially since he would not have first-hand knowledge, and his comments in totality add to the notion that some in baseball do not view the Yankees in the highest standing.

🔮 “Daniel was part of the Port Adelaide football family, and he always will be, Port Adelaide chief executive Matthew Richardson said in a statement. “A sudden passing like this is devastating and our thoughts are with everyone who loved him, and with the teammates, coaches and staff who shared the journey with him here at Alberton.
🔮 The center certainly could enjoy the night and the interactions after he secured the upper hand, at least for one night, after he helped drop his former team to 0-2.

🔮 I’m excited for this next chapter and the future memories that will come with that.”
🔮 The NFL ruled that the Eagles handled Jalen Hurts’ developing medical situation involving blood clots “appropriately” that ended his season and will not punish the team, according to The Athletic.
🔮 The Mets acquired him hoping he could replicate that success, but he instead allowed more hits than innings pitched and saw his strikeouts per nine innings dip from 11.1 in 2025 to 8.9 with the team.
🔮 With Rodgers developing an exciting rapport with rookie Germie Bernard, dual-threat running back Jaylen Warren showing his passing-game abilities with an 80-yard touchdown reception last week and solid veterans like DK MetCalf, there are reasons to believe Rodgers will find success in the air in Week 6.
🔮 Troy Aikman expects this will be his farewell ESPN tour.
