Aaron Rodgers sounds a bit like Rust Cohle these days.
The Jets fell to 2-6 on the season after losing 25-22 to the Patriots on Sunday, and it appears the season is over for Rodgers and company.
Coming back from a 2-6 start is borderline impossible in the NFL. The hole is simply too deep at this point, but don’t worry because Rodgers is out there sounding like a “True Detective” character.
Following the loss, Rodgers was asked if the team is going through a dark moment. Seems like a fair question, and Rodgers’ answer didn’t disappoint.

The Jets made history in Sunday’s game against the Patriots, but it was the kind you don’t want to be associated with.

When it was over and the Cleveland Browns had won their first game in six weeks and scored the most points of the entire season, Jameis Winston started quoting Eminem. And Scripture. 
Yes, very disparate sources of inspiration. But it apparently works for Winston:
Winston is the Browns’ starting quarterback now. And Sunday’s performance, in which he offered incredible highs and suffered some lows, puts him among the NFL Week 8 highs and lows.
Winston threw 3 TD passes. He nearly threw a couple of interceptions which were dropped.

The beautiful game.
The two-man game between Stephen Curry and Draymond Green is the stuff of legend. While the Golden State Warriors were never the heaviest pick-and-roll team in their dynasty era, Curry and Green had a special ability to play off of each other all over the floor. Their connection often felt telepathic as they sliced and diced the NBA’s best defenses for more than a decade.
Curry and Green are still at it this season with a new-look Warriors roster around them.

Gauchos Gym in the South Bronx was the historical setting for an evening filled with plenty of history lessons on NBA opening night.
There’s just something about a New York point guard. There’s a toughness and a flair that only those from the Big Apple seem to possess.
You’re reminded of it when you walk into Gauchos Gym in the South Bronx. You look up at the wall at all the names of the players who suited up for the renowned AAU program. Guys like Rod Strickland, Stephon Marbury and Kemba Walker.

Which NFL head coaches are barreling towards the unemployment line? Here’s our Halloween hot seat watch.
If it is Halloween it means a few different things in the sports media world.
It means that the NFL and college football seasons are heating up, the NHL and the NBA are getting rolling, the Formula 1 season is winding down, and here at SB Nation, the annual Halloween Candy Draft is upon us.

Tom Kim lost to fellow South Korean Byeong-Hun An in a playoff at the Genesis Championship on Sunday and then reportedly took out some of his frustration on a locker room door. After the story of him damaging the locker made the rounds, the 22-year-old decided to address the situation head-on, but in a very peculiar way.
Kim lipped out a birdie putt for the outright win on the 72nd hole before making a costly bogey on the first playoff hole to lose to An.

Can the 49ers make a run? Can Jameis Winston save the Browns?
NFL Nation reporters react to all the action.

Bears CB Tyrique Stevenson apologized Sunday night after he was seen taunting the Washington crowd seconds before he and his teammates gave up a Hail Mary touchdown with time expired to lose to the Commanders 18-15.

Here’s how this theory works.
When the Commanders won with a Hail Mary on Sunday it might have had bigger ramifications than moving to 6-2 on the season — it also could have decided the United States Presidential Election.
Perhaps you heard of what used to be called “The Redskins Rule,” after the team’s now-defunct racist nickname. It held that since the team relocated from Boston to Washington DC in 1937 the result of the election would always been determined by the final home game before the election.
