Feels like there are still a couple of weird plays left in this Bears/Commanders game.

The full Caleb Williams Experience™ in that first half. Some flashes of brilliance early, some bafflingly boneheaded plays the last few drives.

The Vikings have a bye, but I still got to watch my favorite athletes this weekend.

There were probably people in London today who watched their first American football game and are wondering what the fuss is all about

They have already played the Queen sing-along and Mr. Brightside here at Huntington Bank. It's early in the second quarter. They're getting desperate.

The Jorge Polanco walk off might be the closest the Twins get to postseason success for quite a while.

The Twins beat the baseball fandom out of me this year, but I'll *always* appreciate the Yankees getting eliminated.

WHEW, this thread. We're barely a week into October of his first season and it might already be over!

Per sources: Bill Belichick has discussed buyout options with North Carolina’s hierarchy. Belichick has signaled a willingness to trigger his own $1 million buyout if he can find a soft landing with another team or in media
