Former MLB All-Star Lenny Dykstra is in trouble after falling behind on apartment bills. The ex-Phillies and Mets center fielder is reportedly behind $50,000 on unpaid rent for his high-end Los Angeles apartment.
Dykstra allegedly used COVID rent relief to avoid making payments. The Daily Mail relayed an exclusive quote connected to the situation, sharing, “[Dykstra] hasn’t paid any rent for over a year.

The Ravens looked like the team to beat … until they got beat. Now the Browns are rounding into form, the Bengals are still a threat the Steelers are 6-3. Plus: The case for benching Bryce Young.

We’ve arrived at the doorstep of Week 11. How is everyone feeling?
The NFL cynic in me is dying off, as I’ve mentioned in a few of these introductions. The longer you tend to cover something, the more likely you are to lump things into categories that match cyclical trends. Over time, our brains become machines of predictive analytics instead of newly minted sponges ready to be surprised for the first time. Oh, this team will do this because that’s what they always do. Oh, nothing is going to matter because only three or four owners are actually trying to win.

The Bills suffered another ugly loss on Monday night and did so in dramatic fashion, falling to the Broncos, 24-22, on a last-second field goal after a mind-boggling penalty by Buffalo gave Denver a second shot at the kick.
Stefon Diggs had a quiet night for the Bills, catching just three passes for 34 yards with no touchdowns. His QB, Josh Allen, had a rough game, throwing for just 177 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. He now leads the league in interceptions with 11.

The Buffalo Bills fell to 5-5 on the season after losing at home to the Denver Broncos 24-22 on Monday night. Following the loss, and after witnessing Stefon Diggs post season lows in receptions and targets, his brother, Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs, sent the very clear message that he thinks Stefon needs to get out of Buffalo.
Trevon couldn’t have been more to the point, posting the message “Man 14 gotta get up out of there” to X, formerly Twitter, on Monday. His plea for his brother to make a run for it has picked up over 2.6 million views overnight.

Kyler Murray’s huge scramble in Falcons-Cardinals gets the overhead camera treatment
Kyler Murray returned to NFL game action for the first time on Sunday since a significant knee injury ended his 2022 season early. The quarterback was instrumental in helping the Arizona Cardinals to their second win of the season, as Murray completed 19 of 32 passes for 249 yards and an interception, while adding another 33 yards and a touchdown on six rushing attempts, as the Cardinals beat the Atlanta Falcons by a final score of 25-23.

We’re back with the NFL stock watch for the 2023 rookie class, and there are a few themes emerging.
On the positive side, C.J. Stroud is dominating. Last week, it was a 470-yard, five-touchdown performance in a wild comeback win over the Buccaneers. This Sunday, it was an upset victory over the Bengals, with Stroud leading a game-winning drive in the final moments.
As for the negative, Bryce Young continues to struggle mightily for the Panthers. Carolina has watched Young play poorly throughout, totaling eight touchdown passes against seven interceptions, all while averaging a paltry 5.

Through 10 weeks of NFL action, two major trends continue to dominate the sports betting landscape: primetime unders cashing at an absurd 77.4% clip as well as favorites winning straight-up at a highly profitable 65.8% rate.
For the third consecutive week, bettors witnessed favorites dominate the slate with a 10-3 straight-up (SU) mark, while posting a lucrative 7-5-1 against the spread (ATS) record.

It’s time to hit the Waiver Wire for Week 11!
Week 10 was pretty kind as far as injuries are concerned. There were no season-ending moments, and only a few players got banged up. Hopefully, your team remained healthy, and the only thing you have to worry about is bye-week absences.
Four teams are on bye this week (Falcons, Patriots, Colts, Saints).

Paul Finebaum has had enough of Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines.
Michigan continues to battle a massive cheating scandal, and Harbaugh already missed the Penn State game due to being suspended for the rest of the regular season. The school is currently battling it out in the courts to get him back.
How did Harbaugh respond? He told the press Monday that Michigan is apparently America’s team. Yes, that actually happened.
“It’s got to be America’s team. This has got to be America’s team.
