NFL Players who need a big performance in Week 10 #1 - QB Derek Carr, Las Vegas Raiders The Las Vegas Raiders have faced a ton of adversity this season between controversial situations such as Jon Gruden, Henry Ruggs III and Damon Arnette. They still sit at the top of the AFC West, tied with the Los Angeles Chargers. They have an opportunity in Week 10 at home for Sunday Night Football against their division rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs, for a statement win....

DeSantis last week sent two planes of mostly Venezuelan migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, an island off of Massachusetts’ Cape Cod known for being a popular tourist destination among the wealthy. Critics have blasted DeSantis for what they view as a stunt that uses migrants as political pawns to attack the Biden administration’s handling of immigration, though he has received praise from some conservatives. These migrants, alongside the organization Lawyers for Civil Rights, have now filed a federal civil rights class action lawsuit against DeSantis and other officials involved in the scheme....

“Governor DeSantis will soon feel the wrath of Florida’s Latino voters outraged by his toying with the lives of those Venezuelan refugees he exploited,” Rivera wrote in a tweet Wednesday. Rivera’s statement comes shortly after DeSantis flew dozens of mostly Venezuelan migrants from Texas to vacation hotspot Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, a Democratic-led state, last month. Prior to DeSantis, other Republican governors like Greg Abbott of Texas and Arizona’s Doug Ducey also transported migrants to Democratic cities in a stance against President Joe Biden’s immigration policies....

The Eagles wide receiver is not sure if he will play before the finger is fully healed and will be fit for a custom splint Wednesday. Jackson, 32, signed a three-year, $27 million contract with the Eagles in March.

3 Up Odrisamer Despaigne, SP, Padres. Despaigne came within four outs of tossing the first no-hitter in Padres history, and despite losing the no-no on a Daniel Murphy double, Despaigne still finished with his fifth straight stellar line: 7.2 innings, two hits, three walks, one run, five Ks. Despaigne boasts a ridiculous 1.35/0.90 line this year thanks to a baffling arsenal of slow curves, low-90s fastballs and diving cutters. He seems unlikely to continue having success given his low K-rate and high BB-rate, but it sure is fun to watch while it lasts....

According to MyAnimeList’s ratings, Jujutsu Kaisen’s anime has been gaining more viewers than Demon Slayer’s anime, widening the margin between the two. While MyAnimeList ratings aren’t as definitive as official stream numbers, they do indicate a clear trend. A trend that shows Jujutsu Kaisen having preference over Demon Slayer. But why is this?...

I’m pretty sure I could’ve done a better job than at least a couple of the guys the Bucs have had at the helm during my 31 years on the planet. I’m talking about you Raheem Morris and Greg Schiano. The truth of the matter is those guys are pros and we’re fans for a reason, but that doesn’t mean the very best in other industries can’t share principles gained in their line of work to the benefit of athletes....

Some things are getting smaller. The projected size of the Coalition of the willing has reached a historic low, but by July the number of soldiers from U.S. allies in Iraq will actually climb a tad, to 13,000, thanks to a commitment from the former Soviet republic of Georgia for a new brigade of 2,300 troops. More than half of that 13,000 are British, who are also in the process of withdrawing more of their troops by next year, and the remainder are small contingents from 23 other contributing countries, major powers ranging from Mongolia to Peru....
