When NFL players are interviewed after games, they often stick to speaking about what happened on the field.
Vikings defensive back Camryn Bynum, who sealed the team’s 22–17 win over the 49ers on Monday night with an interception, took his camera time on NFL Network to speak about matters off the field that mean a lot to him.

Monday evening saw Rangers right fielder Adolis García put the final touches on a virtuoso ALCS performance.
In Texas’s 11–4 Game 7 win over the Astros, García went an astonishing 4-for-5 with two home runs and five RBIs to lead the Rangers to their third pennant. That followed a Game 6 where his grand slam broke a three-run game open in the ninth inning; García finished the series with a .357/.400/.893 slashline.
García’s series truly took off following the events of Game 5, when Houston pitcher Bryan Abreu hit him with a pitch in the eighth inning.
The NBA season returns Tuesday night as Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets raise their championship banner. The moment should be an exciting time for the league. Jokic is officially the best player in the NBA. He is only 28. The Nuggets are positioned to compete for championships for years to come.
Yet the excitement around the team is minimal. There are multiple reasons for that. The Nuggets are a small market team. The roster is built from within. The city is not a hub for star free agents.

The guts of the deal: The Eagles will send 2024 fifth- and sixth-rounders, plus the safety that will replace Byard on the roster (Terrell Edmunds) for the two-time All-Pro.
Colorado … Florida … Rutgers? With the college football season past the midway point, which teams have come out of nowhere and impressed so far?
College football has changed quite a bit since Ricky Williams was running at will for the Texas Longhorns in the late 90s. In this new era of NIL with student-athletes being paid, many have concluded college football is now a professional sport. While Williams agrees with that idea, he doesn’t think this new pay-for-play era is a bad thing.
The 1998 Heisman Trophy winner joined ‘Don’t @ Me With Dan Dakich‘ on Monday and touched on a wide range of topics including cannabis, Williams’ real calling in life, and the state of today’s college football.
The NHL has announced that it is reversing course on its ban on players’ use of Pride tape, in the latest of the league’s habit of gutlessly trying to please everyone.
The league revealed over the summer that it had done away with Pride Night jerseys after they became a major distraction last season, and a ban on rainbow tape made news right before the season.
This was part of a ban on supporting any causes on the ice, but, of course, the focus was on the Pride tape, because… well, it always had to be the center of everyone’s attention all the time.

The Giants are expected to name Padres manager Bob Melvin as their new manager, The Athletic’s Andrew Baggarly reports.
