The Kansas City Chiefs, who traded a fourth‑round and a 2027 fifth‑round pick for Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs before the Nov. 10 deadline, also pursued New York Jets star receiver Garrett Wilson. At 26, Wilson is a three‑time 1,000‑yard performer on pace for a career‑high 1,120 yards this season, despite the Jets' 2‑7 record and multiple quarterback changes. ESPN insider Rich Cimini says the Chiefs (and the 49ers) expressed interest, but the Jets refused to trade their top talent, and Wilson prefers to stay in New York under a contract through 2030. The deal remains off the table, though future offseason talks may revive interest.

Arizona women’s basketball eyes an early test of its upgraded roster against a reshaped No. 10 UCLA Bruins on Nov. 12 at Pauley Pavilion. Coach Becky Burke’s Wildcats (2-0) will face a UCLA side that lost six of its seven top scorers and rebounders from its 37‑1 championship run, though new transfers KK Bransford, Addy Brown and Donovyn Hunter add experience. UCLA remains a potent threat, posting a 27.4‑point average margin last season, but turnover‑creation could be key for Arizona. The matchup offers a clear gauge of the Wildcats’ progress heading into a tough non‑conference slate.
At the 2026 trade deadline, both the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers showed serious interest in Jets wideout Garrett Wilson, according to ESPN analyst Rich Cimini. Despite the buzz, Wilson chose to stay and the Jets—sitting 2‑7—held onto what they consider their top talent. Kansas City later added Josh Downs, while San Francisco signed Keenan Allen, but Wilson remained the coveted ‘big fish.’ Cimini warns the story could resurface in the offseason, especially if Wilson’s frustration over the Jets’ struggles grows. With his contract running through 2030, Wilson may again attract suitors once the season ends.
Devils radio announcer Don La Greca recounts being tailed by hostile Winnipeg Jets fans after the Devils' 4-2 loss to New Jersey in Winnipeg on Nov. 12, 2026. Fans shouted, "Is this Hellebuyck’s hotel?" and police were stationed outside the team hotel. La Greca says the crowd's animosity stemmed from goalie Connor Hellebuyck’s absence—he didn’t play, though he appeared in warm‑ups amid "coward" chants. The incident, highlighted on ESPN New York and X, underscores the fierce local reaction to the Jets’ disappointing performance.
David Jiricek’s 2026 season stalls as the Flyers struggle to find him a role. The former sixth‑overall pick, traded from Columbus to Minnesota, then to Philadelphia for Bobby Brink, made a brief appearance (13:23) against Vancouver but now faces waivers to stay in the AHL. With Rasmus Ristolainen returning and Oliver Bonk exceeding expectations, Jiricek drops to the eighth spot on the depth chart behind Sanheim, Drysdale, York, Seeler and others. Flyers GM Danny Brière praises his recent play but warns the team can’t afford to lose a first‑rounder for nothing, leaving Jiricek’s future—trade, claim or AHL stint—uncertain.

Former Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin now enjoys his analyst role on NBC’s “Football Night in America,” but rumors swirl about a possible return to coaching. Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio lists the New York Jets, Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles and especially the Carolina Panthers as likely destinations, noting owner David Tepper’s reported interest. While the Panthers have struggled historically and haven’t won a playoff game since their 2016 Super Bowl run, they could become Tomlin’s next big challenge if he decides to leave the broadcast booth.

The Yankees have sent a high‑level delegation, including ownership minority partner Soichiro Minami, to Japan to meet 18‑year‑old right‑hander Shoki Oda, a high‑school ace with a fastball topping 97 mph and a full secondary arsenal. Oda, who chose between the NPB’s Yomiuri Giants and an MLB path, impressed enough that the Yankees spent two hours – longer than rivals – discussing a potential minor‑league signing once the international signing period opens. The move pits New York against the Dodgers, Phillies and Rangers for the coveted teen pitcher.
Jeff Marek warns the Toronto Maple Leafs are running out of options as they host the surging Minnesota Wild on Nov. 12, 2026. Chris Tanev sits out for the second time in three games, with Cole McWard stepping in, while Zack MacEwen returns from a rest injury and Anthony Stolarz starts in goal. Marek critiques the team's load‑management, tagging struggles and goal‑ie options, and says GM John Chayka’s window to fix the roster is closing fast, cautioning against a late‑stage rebuild. The show will recap the Leafs/Wild game and preview Saturday’s visit from Edmonton.
Amid another bleak season, the New York Jets were expected to move some of their valuable players ahead of the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday. Instead, they remained relatively quiet.

Detroit Red Wings coach Todd McLellan benches veteran forward Michael Rasmussen for the upcoming road game against the Florida Panthers, ending a brief run of praise. Rasmussen, 27, has been pinpointed for costly mistakes in recent losses – a poor defensive play that led to Trevor Connelly’s game-winner in a 2-1 defeat to the Vegas Golden Knights and a board battle loss that sparked Jimmy Snuggerud’s overtime heroics in a 3-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues. With the Wings on a four‑game skid, forward Carter Mazur replaces Rasmussen in the lineup for Thursday’s matchup.
At the 20‑game mark, Henrik and Daniel Sedin speak openly about the Canucks' rebuild, acknowledging disappointing early results while stressing a better roster than the record shows. Henrik updates on Thatcher Demko’s rehab—no set return date, replacing earlier Christmas hopes—and says young players like Lankinen and Meriläinen must stay steady. Both brothers reject a quick retool, insisting veterans won’t be traded for picks alone and that consistent playoff contention is the goal. Thursday’s practice sees waiver claim Cameron Crotty in action among a full line-up, signaling depth work under the new management.
Nobody is arguing that New York Jets rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. is the best thing since sliced bread, or even the slightly lesser accomplishment of being the best wide receiver since Jerry Rice. Let’s chill out: He’s played five NFL games. But in those five games… Cooper arguably has yet to show a ...

The Devils enter Thursday’s home game against Washington without defensemen Johnathan Kovacevic and Brett Pesce. Coach Sheldon Keefe says Kovacekovic’s lower‑body injury, possibly a knee setback, isn’t a day‑to‑day situation, while Pesce is ill. To fill the gap, prospect Vladislav Kolyachonok is called up from Utica as the sixth defenseman. The lineup also sees Amadeus Lombardi as a healthy scratch and the recall of Stefan Noesen and Lenni Hameenaho after Anthony Mantha was placed on long‑term IR. New Jersey sits 13‑6‑0 overall, second in the Metro, and aims to extend its home winning streak at Prudential Center.
