Baseball’s best players and managers of 2026 collect their hardware this week.

No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza said Wednesday it’s a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity to be the Raiders’ starting quarterback, while his teammates and coach expressed their confidence in his ability to lead the offense.

HOUSTON – Stephen Curry was evidently none too pleased with social-media chatter around wife Ayesha Curry’s first feature-film leading role in the romantic comedy “Second Chance Holiday.”
A clip from the film, featuring Ayesha Curry giving an on-screen kiss to co-star Matthew Daddario, went viral this past week and served as fodder for a wide variety of podcasts.

Almost six months after his commitment was shown on ESPN’s SportsCenter, Princeton High School senior Kameron “Kam” Mercer returned to the same room to officially sign with the Cincinnati Bearcats on Nov. 11.
It was no surprise, as Mercer has been at UC games and was one of new coach Jerrod Calhoun’s priorities when he arrived in town in late March.

Mercer helped the Vikings win the Ohio Division I state title on March 22, then Calhoun was introduced as UC’s head coach the following day.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Eric Morris never won a game as a player or offensive coordinator for Texas Tech at Boone Pickens Stadium, now home for the first-year Oklahoma State coach whose alma mater is coming to town for a significant Big 12 game late Saturday night.
“Really good memories when I played ’em at home,” Morris said this week. “Really bad memories when I came to Boone Pickens Stadium.”
What he hopes for now is some lasting memories for the resurgent Cowboys (6-3, 4-2 Big 12, No. 25 CFP).

Steve Holland blamed for Man United’s alarming fall-off in training standards this season

Manchester United won their only Premier League match this season back in August, and the club are currently languishing in 18th place in the league table.
This has left head coach Michael Carrick on the brink of receiving his marching orders, and there are valid reasons for INEOS to pull the plug.
Leaving aside the club’s transfer failings in the summer, this group of players should be doing far better than their current form suggests.

Happy Veterans Day to those who have served and are currently serving. Thank you for your service.

LAS VEGAS — The Rule 5 Draft didn’t take place during the 2021-22 offseason, the last time Major League Baseball owners locked out players.
This offseason’s Rule 5 Draft again is in jeopardy with a lockout expected to begin at 11:59 p.m. ET on Dec. 1.

“We’re operating as though that would go on as normal,” Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said at the GM Meetings.
Teams have until Nov. 17 to add eligible players to their 40-man roster to protect them from being available to other teams in the draft.
