- Rams new offensive coordinator Nate Scheelhaase brings high energy and a hands‑on, detail‑focused approach at practice.
- He’s another rising product of Sean McVay’s coaching tree — praised for leadership and organization and already on the head‑coach radar.
- A former Illinois QB, Scheelhaase credits his hardworking parents and college coaches for the blue‑collar work ethic behind his rapid rise.
The news, distilled into what matters.
- Shohei Ohtani was placed on the injured list after lingering right biceps and left knee soreness, missing six of the last seven games.
- He’ll shift to focusing on hitting and most likely won’t pitch again this season, though the team still views him as a postseason-caliber, four-time MVP centerpiece.
- The Dodgers start a seven-game trip in Miami Friday and expect top prospect Josue De Paula to join the club.
- Ohtani has been repeatedly held out with knee and bicep/arm trouble, and the Dodgers are now weighing whether to finally place him on the IL before the postseason.
- He’s effectively been downgraded to hitter-only — he hasn’t pitched since July — making a mound return this year unlikely.
- His offense has slumped since resuming throwing, so with October approaching his availability and impact in the playoffs are uncertain.
- The Dodgers have called up 21-year-old top prospect Josue De Paula to the majors.
- He’s baseball’s No. 6-ranked prospect and the highest-rated outfielder — a big prospect buzz.
- De Paula hit 27 homers in 123 Double-A games and was the 2025 Futures Game MVP.
- Seattle unfurled their Super Bowl LX banner and rallied for a 13-10 win, scoring 13 unanswered in the second half.
- Patriots rookie Drake Maye threw three interceptions — including a toe‑tap pick to seal the game — extending a recent turnover trend.
- Seahawks starter Sam Darnold left with a hip injury; backup Drew Lock led the comeback while Jaxon Smith‑Njigba erupted for a 45‑yard TD and 111 yards.
- Trump vows a $5,000 "Trump Dividend" for every American adult if Republicans keep the House and Senate, tying the payout directly to midterm results.
- The plan would likely exceed $1 trillion, require congressional approval, and raise big concerns about the federal deficit and inflation; proposed funding via tariffs appears insufficient.
- Reaction is mixed—VP J.D. Vance sought to narrow the idea (excluding the wealthy), and Republicans call it an unusual, high-stakes gambit to reverse typical midterm losses.
