If Major League Baseball hand-picked the two teams to compete in the World Series prior to the season, they almost certainly would have selected the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers. 
On paper, it’s the perfect matchup for the league. 
Not only does the series feature two of the most iconic franchises in baseball history, but it also encompasses the two biggest cities in the country, New York and Los Angeles, with one on each coast. 
If that weren’t enough, both rosters are filled with superstars.

It seems like NFL referees constantly find themselves in the spotlight and Week 8 was no exception. The week started with a ridiculous missed facemask by the Los Angeles Rams against Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold on Thursday Night Football. 
After starting Week 8 with a terrible no-call, the refs decided to end it with one, too. 
The Monday Night Football matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants had a massive missed call that completely altered the outcome of the game.

Well, thanks to Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens, we now know a little bit more about the NFL’s catch rule. 
When the rulebook says that a receiver has to get both feet in bounds to complete the process of a catch, they officially mean two DIFFERENT feet. 
Somehow, against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, Pickens managed to catch the ball in the middle of the endzone, get his right foot on the ground TWICE, but never actually put his left foot on the ground.

Jack Tuttle made his first start for the Wolverines earlier this month, but was ruled out of Saturday’s win over Michigan State.

Prior to Game 2 of the World Series against the New York Yankees on Saturday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers brought Ice Cube onto the field to fire up the home crowd. 
The Yankees, down two games to zero, decided that they had to counter the Dodgers’ energy for the first game in Yankee Stadium. 
So, for some reason, they thought the appropriate way to fire up the New York crowd prior to Game 3 would be … Fat Joe? 
I’m going to tell a quick, and very true, story.

If you’re mad that the Dallas Cowboys are always playing during the NFL’s primetime games, remember that it’s your fault. You keep watching them! 
The Cowboys fell to 3-4 with a loss on Sunday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers. In all four of the Dallas losses this season, they’ve trailed by at least three scores at some point during the game. 
They’re not exactly a fun watch, although they did mount a bit of a comeback against the 49ers. In fact, the Cowboys have trailed during all seven games this year.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has not yet debuted in the NBA season, as he is still nursing a meniscus tear he sustained last season. And yet, he’s found a way to get a technical foul.
Yes, that is an actual statistic. Joel Embiid games played: 0. Technical fouls accumulated: 1.
Sunday night, the 76ers faced the Indiana Pacers at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and the game went into overtime. With Indiana trailing 114-111 with just over 16 seconds left in the extra frame, Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard stepped up to the free-throw line to shoot two.

A family trying to attend the San Francisco 49ers-Dallas Cowboys game on Sunday is alleging Levi’s Stadium security wouldn’t allow one of them to enter due to wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat. 
In a video posted to TikTok, one of the women in the family explains that her son-in-law was told he cannot wear his red MAGA hat into the stadium, which led to an argument with security. 
“We were about to enter, and they stopped us because my son-in-law is wearing this hat,” the woman says in the video. “They don’t want to let us in.
