Everyone in the NBA world saw Steve Kerr’s doppelgänger, who even had the Golden State Warriors head coach befuddled when he was at Oracle Arena for a game.
Do they look so similar that they could pull off voter fraud? The championship-winning coach thinks so, as he told Inside the NBA.

As lawmakers return to Capitol Hill next week, a relocation is in order.
More than 25 Republican House of Representatives incumbents who lost to their Democratic counterparts will be evicted from their offices. The ousted lawmakers and their staffs will be asked to move from their spacious, multi-room, carpeted digs to makeshift cubicles within a windowless wing of the Rayburn office building — a sort of biennial occurrence after such election results.

Unai Emery has been Aston Villa manager since October 2022 [Press Association]
Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery is close to agreeing a contract extension at the club – which will hand him even more responsibility for long-term development.
The Villa boss held talks with the hierarchy on Wednesday to discuss the club’s future, with all parties keen on extending his time at Villa Park.
Emery would relish the opportunity to play an even bigger role in developing the club for the long term, with talks ongoing about the fine details, the finances, and the length of the new deal.

Nov. 5—FITHIAN — The atmosphere is calm, yet focused. Loose, but not out of control.
As a drab gray sky peeks through the windows of the weight room located near the back of Oakwood High School on the first Monday afternoon in November, Walker Enos stands in front of a squat rack and adds a pair of 45-pound plates on top of the two plates already at the end of the weight bar.
The 6-foot, 300-pound senior who starts at center and at defensive tackle for the Comets’ football team lowers his body underneath the bar.

For decades, the modestly sized but fervently loyal crew of University of New Mexico sports fans endured the same ritual. With the scent of grilled green chiles still wafting from tailgate parties outside, they would file into the football stadium, find their seats and gaze longingly across University Boulevard, toward the arena called The Pit.
As any true Lobos fan would attest, it was never too soon to start counting the days until basketball season arrived.
These days, though, hoops can wait.

Scotland have been boosted by the return of key duo Sione Tuipulotu and Finn Russell for their Nations Championship clash against New Zealand on Saturday.
Neither player featured in Scotland’s previous game, a 33-17 victory over Fiji in July, but both are included in the squad along with several other crucial players.
Gregor Brown partner Scott Cummings in the second row and Matt Fagerson is fit enough to start in the back row alongside Rory Darge and former Glasgow Warrior Jack Dempsey.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft is recovering from back surgery, which he said will force him to miss Rob Gronkowski’s team Hall of Fame induction.

Victor Wembanyama is the alien, and on Wednesday night he achieved something that hasn’t been accomplished since shortly after Area 51 was opened.
Wemby went off to a level we haven’t see in decades against the Mavericks, finishingwith 52 points, 24 rebounds, and 8 blocks — the first player to hit these marks since Wilt Chamberlain in 1961.

It goes without saying: But everything about this highlight reel shows how unfair the game is.

In his first competitive round since the birth of his fourth child, Jon Rahm displayed no signs of rust.
The 31-year-old Spaniard put together a bogey-free, 7-under 65 at Yas Links during Thursday’s opening round of the Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship. He carded five birdies on his front nine and finished birdie-birdie on the final two holes.
He dominated the course’s longer holes, gaining three strokes at the four par-5s. The first of which came after a tremendous approach shot with his 5-iron from the fairway at the par-5 second hole.

Wales head coach Steve Tandy has won three and lost nine of his first internationals so far [Huw Evans Picture Agency]
Head coach Steve Tandy says he does not consider which clubs his players play for when he selects his Wales side.

It is understood to be a record number of players based outside of Wales in a 23-man squad.

If the hair wasn’t enough for you, Andrej Stojakovic’s play definitely will be. 
You weren’t alone if you glanced away from the TV Monday against FDU, looked back, and saw him already sitting on 20 points. 
Before someone says, “it’s just FDU,” I hear you. The Knights lost 120-45 and shot just 28%. But It was clear how comfortable he felt. 

20 points (9-of-11 from the field)
4 assists
7 rebounds
1 turnover

The 2-6 New York Jetscould be sellers at the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 10. General manager Darren Mougey has less than one week to make those difficult decisions.
Superstar wide receiver Garrett Wilson has been linked to a potential trade.
No, the Jets absolutely shouldn’t trade Wilson. The star wideout has made it clear he hopes to remain in East Rutherford beyond the deadline. And Mougey shouldn’t entertain offers for his No. 1 receiver.
The 26-year-old Wilson is signed through the 2030 campaign.

Anybody still here? We had fewer upsets last week, but it’s still been tough sledding in Survivor pools. The Cardinals win over the Cowboys was the big surprise, although we’re getting to a point where I would hope most folks are staying away from Dallas in this kind of pool.

The NFL regular season is rapidly moving along and we’re just about halfway through. Some teams have reached their halfway point, others will get their this week, but by the close of Monday, the league will be halfway through the 18-week schedule.
The league officially has no more undefeated teams after the Vikings lost to the Lions in Week 8. Given the Bears impressive win in Seattle on Monday, Chicago looks more and more like the team to beat in the NFC North.

Leaders on the roster have already spoken to the group about remaining focused, but Harbaugh does not believe the team is close to any such issue. He pointed to the stakes of the game and the position the Giants find themselves in as reasons the players will be ready.

An all-Brazilian showdown awaits as ONE Flyweight Submission Grappling World Champion Diogo “Baby Shark” Reis defends his gold against multi-time BJJ World Champion Bebeto Oliveira, while Selina “Teep Queen” Flores trades blows with Kana “Krusher Queen” Morimoto in atomweight Muay Thai.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Rashan Gary (7) pressures Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett (7) during the first quarter but it was his roughing passer penalty on backup quarterback Gardner Minshew in the fourth quarter that helped cost the Cowboys the victory. AT&T Stadium.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen and running back James Cook can both reach a big career milestone on Monday night against the Vikings.
Allen and Cook may both reach 5,000 career rushing yards: Allen currently has 4,991 rushing yards in his career, and Cook currently has 4,966, so Allen needs nine yards against the Vikings and Cook needs 34 yards to reach 5,000.
Allen is averaging 39 rushing yards per game this season and Cook is averaging 101, so it’s likely that they’ll both reach the 5,000-yard milestone on Monday night.
