DR MARC SIEGEL: America’s awful marijuana addiction is spreading from parents to kids
Marijuana is becoming the new alcohol—or worse. And children are paying the price.
Not only is cannabis use skyrocketing in this country, with close to 70 million users every year, but parents are increasingly subjecting their children to wafting, intoxicating smoke.
A new study from the University of California San Diego, a school based in a state with a big marijuana problem, shows that nationwide approximately 6 million children are living with a parent who uses cannabis most days.
MARIJUANA USE RISES SHARPLY AMONG ONE GROUP OF AMERICANS, NEW STUDY FINDS
As I pointed out on "The Ingraham Angle" recently (both host Laura Ingraham and I are highly concerned about the impact of chronic marijuana use), children are twice as likely to use cannabis themselves if they live in a household where a parent is a regular user, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
Cannabis use has more than doubled in the adult population over the past two decades (it’s now over 8%), according to data from the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
MARIJUANA USERS MAY FACE HIDDEN DRIVING DANGER THAT STANDARD TESTS CAN MISS
Cannabis is highly addictive, and the THC content has increased greatly in all its forms, making it more and more dangerous. Edibles now typically contain up to 10 mg THC per serving, and concentrates and vape cartridges contain 50% to 95% THC (the psychoactive chemical in cannabis). The buds and flowers used for joints, vapes, edibles, and concentrates are now 15 to 25% THC—a few decades ago, the amount was just 1 to 2 percent.
Children are the victims here, and the impact starts as early as the womb. Fetal exposure leads to nearly twice the risk of premature birth and a two-and-a-half-times-greater risk of being born underweight or needing immediate medical intervention in the Neonatal ICU. Yet national data shows that over 5% of pregnant women have used marijuana products over the past month, and the number is climbing.

Plus, if a child is exposed to marijuana in the womb, research shows that there is a 2.5-times-greater risk of THC product use during the child’s early teen years.
A landmark study from Harvard found that a mother’s cannabis use during a child’s first 12 years of life is linked to the child beginning to use marijuana by the age of 16.
BRAD PITT SAYS HE CAN DRINK IN ‘RESTRAINED MANNER’ AFTER 7 SOBER YEARS, BUT EXPERT RAISES RED FLAG
Regular marijuana use is not just addictive and contagious; it also directly impacts parenting. Parents who are regular users are more prone to emotional outbursts, car accidents, poor parenting, and mental health disorders.
Regular cannabis use can also cause emotional dysregulation, mood swings, impaired judgment, and unexpected outbursts of anger or irritability. Research shows that anxiety in parents leads directly to anxiety in children.
Where do we go from here? Look to our long history with alcohol. Strategies developed and used over generations for dealing with another highly addictive substance, alcohol, can help parents develop the tools they need to help themselves and their children.

In my new book, "The Angels Among Us," I share the story of how Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill Wilson is inspired by God’s presence, which comes to him in a "blinding glare of white light." After previously living with debilitating alcoholism, Wilson discovers that sobriety becomes its own reward as he helps other alcoholics find a path to recovery. He finds that his method works best when he is sharing mutual experiences rather than preaching to other addicts.
Although 130 million Americans drink alcohol—twice the number who use cannabis—more Americans consume cannabis daily than drink alcohol daily.
Bill Wilson’s humble strategies of connectivity and spiritual cures can be applied to both addictions.
JASON CHAFFETZ: Democrats tried to trick Alaska voters. Peltola must answer
The Democratic Party and its U.S. Senate candidate in Alaska owe voters the truth. Not the denials Mary Peltola’s campaign keeps repeating, but the truth the New York Times documented this week.
The Times reported that Peltola campaign aides and DSCC staffers worked to recruit additional candidates—including a man named Daniel J. Sullivan—to run and peel votes away from incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan under ranked-choice voting.
Drawing on texts, documents, and interviews, the paper reported that Peltola was "definitely aware" of the effort to seek out other people with the same name. The campaign and the DSCC denied involvement in the sham. But notably, none of the parties accused condemned it.
This is a character test for Mary Peltola. Alaskans deserve better than this kind of chicanery. Democrats clearly think voters are too dumb to figure it out. Nobody really believed Daniel J. Sullivan’s name ended up on the ballot organically. But now the Times has provided compelling evidence.
Peltola needs to come clean. If she wasn’t involved, then she needs to have the political guts to call this out.
SEN DAN SULLIVAN BRANDS PELTOLA’S ALLEGED BALLOT SCHEME A ‘SCANDAL AT THE HIGHEST ORDER’
On the other hand, if the allegations are true, imagine what she might be willing to do once voters give her power. Someone who greenlights a namesake spoiler operation like this one, then denies it, demonstrates a lack of integrity and judgment that Alaskans should not expect from their U.S. senator. Instead of making a compelling case for Mary Peltola to represent the state, the campaign and its Democratic allies relied on lies and dirty tricks.
The denials make it even worse. All accused parties took that position in public and in the context of the federal litigation over certification. Yet we have the former campaign manager telling the Times that Peltola was "definitely aware" of the recruiting effort. We even have an Elias Law Group attorney who represents both the campaign and the DSCC being looped into related discussions. If those allegations hold, the whole team lied about it.
COURT KEEPS ‘DECOY DAN’ ON ALASKA BALLOT AS EXPERT WARNS RANKED-CHOICE SYSTEM CREATES VOTER ‘TRAPS’
These were disgusting, sleazy dirty tricks intended to cajole, manipulate, and snooker voters instead of winning on the merits. The whole point was to create confusion under ranked-choice voting and distort voters’ choices.
Democrats didn’t try to persuade Alaskans. They tried to trick them. That is immoral and disingenuous, and it says everything you need to know about today’s Democratic Party—and certainly about Mary Peltola.

She has not given Alaskans the truth. At this late hour, she still won’t call it out for what it is. That silence is the character test, and she is failing it.
Peltola owes Alaskans the truth. She has not given it.
HUGH HEWITT: The hidden advantage that could turn Senate toss-ups into GOP wins
Which candidates for Senate are in a better position to help their state and, by extension, their citizens in the six years ahead?
This is the question voters in every state with a contested Senate seat should ask themselves before they vote between now and the close of voting Tuesday.
Example number one is Maine, where Senator Susan Collins is matched against Troy Jackson. Jackson is the man picked by Maine’s Democratic Party — not the voters — after Graham Platner crashed, burned and withdrew from the race on July 10. The party’s state committee picked Jackson even though he had finished third in the Democratic governor’s primary the same day Platner won his primary. Polls rate the Maine race as a toss-up, but polls at the close in 2020 had Collins behind by at least four percentage points, and she in fact won by more than 8%.
MORNING GLORY: THE DEMOCRATS HAVE A 'FANATIC FOUR' OF EXTREMIST SENATE CANDIDATES
Maine voters are unlikely to surrender the seniority Collins holds — she is chair of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee — for a rookie who would rank tied for last in the currency that matters the most in the Senate: the incumbent’s years served in the body. Add to that reality the fact that every Mainer seems to know the senator at least in passing and that communities across the state have benefited from the influence she has accumulated over more than 10,000 consecutive roll call votes, and Collins is poised to win. Again.
In South Carolina, Sen. Darline Graham has been serving since her brother Lindsey died. That gives her a leg up on new senators elected this year, and in a state that went for Donald Trump by 18% in 2024, it’s very likely Graham will return for a full six-year term.
Ohio’s incumbent Sen. Jon Husted has been in the Senate since January 2025. As a member of the majority, he’s in a position to deliver more for the Buckeye State than the recycled Democrat Sherrod Brown, who was ousted by Ohio voters two years ago after collecting government paychecks for almost 50 years. Brown’s very liberal career lost touch with an Ohio electorate that went for Trump in 2024 by more than 11 points. Husted is the best candidate to deliver for Ohio.
In Michigan, either Republican Mike Rogers or Democrat Abdul El-Sayed would be a freshman senator, but El-Sayed’s white-hot radicalism will put him in a corner of the Senate that is empty except for Bernie Sanders. Rogers, by contrast, is a mainstream, moderate Republican with 14 years of experience in the House. Expect Rogers to receive a warm welcome from the Senate GOP, which is eyeing Michigan as a battleground state in the 2028 presidential election.
FOX NEWS POLL: MICHIGAN VOTERS SPLIT BETWEEN EL-SAYED AND ROGERS
There’s a reason why most contenders for the GOP nomination have been to Michigan to lend Rogers a hand. Pennsylvania’s Senator Dave McCormick was in the Wolverine State this week, and not surprisingly, McCormick’s name is in the mix for 2028.
That's also true for Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, who seems to have been everywhere this election cycle helping everyone (as a prospective candidate for the presidency does). Cruz was in Alaska on October 17 to give an assist to Sen. Dan Sullivan, who is a two-term incumbent with enormous ability to deliver for Alaskans. Democratic nominee Mary Peltola, by contrast, would be a freshman in the minority party if, as I expect, the GOP retains the majority. That’s a terrible trade and one that it is doubtful most Alaskans want to make.
President Trump’s campaign trip to Alaska — rare for a sitting president — was intended to juice turnout there and to focus attention on the dirty tricks at work up north. A second "decoy" Dan Sullivan was planted on the four-choice ballot in the hopes of draining even a few votes from the real Sen. Dan Sullivan in Alaska’s weird ranked-choice voting scheme.
PELTOLA ALLIES WORKED TO RECRUIT SPOILER CANDIDATES IN ALASKA SENATE RACE, REPORT SAYS
The real Dan Sullivan, the retired Marine Corps colonel on the Armed Services Committee with great seniority, is asking all voters, "Don’t rank Mary," to counteract the trickery. The electorate’s about a quarter of a million people. It’s a savvy bunch because the federal government matters so much in our 49th state. Expect the real Sen. Dan Sullivan to pull through.
President Trump won Alaska by more than 13% in 2024. He also won Texas and Iowa by more than 13%, which tells us that while Sen. Sullivan’s seniority will help him, even first-time candidates Ken Paxton in Texas and Ashley Hinson in Iowa should prevail against Democratic first-time nominees in both states, even in the "tough environment" of a president’s sixth year in office. President Trump has been to both states this week to energize the base. Whatever the polls say — and polls say both races are toss-ups — Paxton and Hinson appear to be in good shape and rising in the polls, and both would be joining a majority in the Senate, not the minority with vastly diminished powers.
Kansas went for Donald Trump by more than 16% two years ago. Its farmers have been hit hard by the high cost of diesel, but they know Sen. Roger Marshall has the seniority to help on the "Ag Bill" and deliver relief for the state. The nice pastor running against the nice Dr. Marshall doesn’t. The same is true for Sen. Pete Ricketts in Nebraska.
GOP SENATE MAJORITY FACES FRESH UNCERTAINTY AS 2 KEY RACES TIGHTEN DAYS BEFORE MIDTERMS
Which brings us finally to Minnesota, which is a deep blue state but one that nominated a far-far-to-the-left Democratic candidate in Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, whose eight years in that state job coincided with the massive fraud scandals in Minnesota and soaring violence among gangs of Somali-American youths. The Democratic Farmer-Labor Party decided to go way left even as the GOP nominated the sparkling political "Rookie of the Year" in Michele Tafoya.
Michigan might have the most-watched race because there’s never been an extremist like El-Sayed so close to winning a Senate race before, but the biggest upset could come in Minnesota, with Gopher State voters returning to the tradition of sending their occasional Republican to the Senate.

American polling is as broken as Israeli polling, which just face-planted in Israel’s elections Tuesday. (Prime Minister Netanyahu emerged with the largest party and the largest coalition, which very few, if any, major polls saw coming.) Trusting polls to place bets on the prediction markets for American Senate races is as foolish as using the Farmers’ Almanac to plan your vacation in an El Niño year.
The enormous advantage of seniority plus the record amount and pace of campaigning by President Trump don’t combine to leave the GOP anxiety-free. But Republicans surely don’t take their cues from legacy media and pollsters, which are, again, almost all openly tilted toward Democrats. The vote will be intensely interesting, but if "toss-ups" turn out to be blowouts in red states, don’t be surprised.
Why most journalists are tired of fact-checking Donald Trump
As I look at a decade of coverage of the man who loves all things gold, I have to conclude that many journalists are suffering from Trump Exhaustion Syndrome.
It’s not about being physically tired, and of course there are exceptions. No, the syndrome involves throwing up your hands and abandoning basic fact-checking because, you know, they think, what the hell, everyone knows Trump says lots and lots of things that are untrue.
Much of this is tied to the surge in social media. After all, why do a second-day story analyzing what the president did or said when the hot story is Trump praising Nicki Minaj and her beautiful butt?
As for the truth-squadding part, don’t worry, I have the receipts.
The other day, the president came out and said he had ordered the Justice Department to intervene in the crazy Alaska election. It was right there. He didn’t hide it. Pronounced it out in the open.
I know the widespread belief that the department was doing his bidding — charging James Comey a third time? For younger readers, there used to be a brick wall between the White House and DOJ.
If Joe Biden had breached that wall only once, he would have been impeached, convicted and behind bars.
As a former Justice Department reporter, I can tell you that divide hasn’t been pulverized since Watergate, when AG John Mitchell went to prison.
NOT EVEN SKY HIGH GAS PRICES OR THE IRAN WAR WILL STOP TRUMP SUPPORTERS VOTING MAGA
Now a couple of the Sunday hosts, CNN’s Dana Bash and CBS’s Margaret Brennan, aggressively pressed Attorney General Todd Blanche about the controversy (two Dan Sullivans, and as the New York Times disclosed, the second guy was recruited by the Democrats).
At one point, Blanche addressed the president’s order that his department file a lawsuit.
"No, no, he didn’t say it on camera," the AG insisted. "Yes he did," Brennan shot back.
Indeed, he did. But as I looked at the major papers the next day, the press had moved on. (My apologies if I missed someone’s brilliant analysis). It was as if the story no longer existed.
That’s Trump Exhaustion Syndrome in action.
Here’s another example. Just a couple of days ago, Trump said that while he might move the press briefing room, "the old swimming pool will never be brought back. I NEVER even thought of doing such a stupid thing!"
That didn’t sound right to me, and boy was I exhausted after 20 seconds of fact-checking.
People Magazine, just last month: "As President Donald Trump fights in court to ban particular news organizations from the White House, he suggested converting the White House press briefing room back to the indoor pool built during Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s tenure in ‘The People’s House.’"
So we have a new definition of fake news: something the president used to say but has since changed his view and no longer stands by his previous position.
I want to make something clear: I am not anti-Trump. I like him personally. I’ve covered him on and off since 1987, and interviewed him six times during the 2024 campaign.
He can definitely be a charming guy in person. Most of the time, we’ve gotten along fine — he’s sent me a number of favorable notes — and sometimes, as is typical with him, not so much.
There’s a reason half the country voted for him, even if many are now unhappy about the Iran war and rising prices at the pump. My goal here is to write about press behavior.
Trump is a master media manipulator. He has known, since I was in New York writing about his exploits as a combative developer, how to distract the press from an unfavorable story, and he’s acknowledged as much to me.
When the president says "Norway sucks" and is a "s***-house country" (because he’s still ticked off about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize), he knows it will make news.
Same with his comments about Nicki Minaj’s anatomy. He understands most of the press will take the bait. Oh, and sometimes Trump just gets carried away at rallies.
I’m not saying these things don’t deserve a mention in a feature column or as a cable-show kicker, but they do tend to squeeze out other stories.
SOCIAL MEDIA EXPLODES WITH MEMES CELEBRATING TRUMP VICTORY
When Trump called Barack Obama "stupid"— over a joke that the White House looks like Saddam’s Cheesecake Factory — he was edging into real news.
And when he ordered the raid on Ilhan Omar’s home — abandoning the longstanding justice practice of doing nothing to influence politics in a campaign’s last 60 days — Trump created a major, important news story, no question about it.
Back in 1987, Trump told me, without being asked, that if he ran for president, he would win. I confess to having been skeptical.
After Trump came down the escalator in 2015, he told me he had a 15 to 20 percent chance of winning the nomination. He can be surprisingly candid.
All these years later, it’s impossible to deny there’s a strong anti-Trump element in the media.
By convincing themselves there’s no point in challenging him because he constantly lies, many are indeed suffering from Trump Exhaustion Syndrome.
DHS investigates massive data breach exposing 40,000 employees, including ICE and Border Patrol agents
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is investigating a potentially massive data breach that may have exposed the identities and contact information of tens of thousands of employees, sources told Fox News.
The suspected breach, which sources described as a "catastrophic" security incident, may have exposed the names, titles, locations and, in some cases, phone numbers and email addresses of approximately 40,000 DHS employees and contractors, including roughly 10,000 ICE personnel, according to sources familiar with the data.
The data also includes records associated with more than 20,000 U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) employees, including Border Patrol personnel.
Multiple sources confirmed the authenticity of portions of the data.
EXCLUSIVE: DHS SECRETARY MULLIN SLAMS SANCTUARY POLITICIANS AS ATTACKS ON ICE OFFICERS SKYROCKET
The data leak website Distributed Denial of Secrets said Wednesday it had released information about the employees.
Fox News independently confirmed that the leaked records include the names of several undercover ICE agents working in different parts of the country.
An anti-fascist hacking group calling itself the "Department of Peace" claimed responsibility for obtaining the data.
"DHS is aware of a potential breach and is actively working to address the situation swiftly and effectively," a department spokesperson told Fox News.
"We take all security threats against our employees and officers seriously and will work to ensure all are properly protected," the statement continued. "We will update the public when more information is available."
Distributed Denial of Secrets co-founder Emma Best said in a statement that a tool had been developed to allow the public to search the data, saying it would "replace anonymity with accountability."
The Department of Peace said in its own statement that DHS employees "have our information, so it's only fair that we have theirs" and that it hoped the data "can be used to limit further harm by the DHS and supports all efforts in that direction."
The reported breach comes amid broader concerns about the security of government personnel records.

Brewers win World Series for first time in franchise history with Game 5 victory over Rays
For the first time in franchise history, the Milwaukee Brewers can call themselves World Series champions.
The Brewers couldn’t get the job done in seven games against the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1982 World Series, and it took them 44 years to get back to the Fall Classic this season.
In Game 5 against the Tampa Bay Bays, one night after getting walked off in the bottom of the 13th inning, the Brewers defeated their AL opponent, 4-1, to claim their title.

Game 4 was a suspenseful thriller, where it seemed like 22-year-old rookie Cooper Pratt would go down in World Series history after belting a top of the 13th solo homer to finally break a 2-2 tie.
But, facing a potential sweep at the hands of the Brewers, who did the same to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, the Rays strung together four straight singles in the bottom of the frame to walk off Game 4 and keep their season alive.

In Game 5, the Brewers didn’t blink despite momentum swinging in the Rays’ favor ever so slightly.
Once again, it was Pratt, three years removed from playing high school baseball in Mississippi, coming through in the clutch with an RBI single in the top of the second inning off Drew Rasmussen, who made a start on short rest given the circumstances, to take a 1-0 lead.
Meanwhile, Jacob Misiorowski, the likely NL Cy Young winner, was dealing triple-digit fastballs the Rays couldn’t handle in the bottom frames. He went 5.2 innings before cramping in the bottom of the sixth inning forced manager Pat Murphy to finally go into his bullpen, which was exhausted in Game 4 due to extra innings. Misiorowski gave up just two hits and one walk, while striking out two.
The Milwaukee bullpen took over with run support, though, as David Hamilton shot an RBI single past a diving Rays defender in the top of the fifth, and two more runs would come across one inning later thanks to another RBI from Pratt on a sac fly and Williams Contreras roping a double to score Christian Yelich.
A 4-0 lead was just what the Brewers needed, as the bullpen continued to get its outs and the suspense this time was felt from Tampa Bay all the way to Wisconsin, where fans were inching closer toward a history-defining victory.
HISTORIC 5TH INNING AND MUCH MORE: BREWERS' WORLD SERIES GAME 3 BY THE NUMBERS
This was a team that had the best record in MLB this regular season at 103-59 despite having a payroll in the middle of the pack (19th overall at $146 million). The Rays' payroll was even lower at $95.6 million, which ranked 28th among the 30 teams, making this a World Series matchup of two teams that operated in another spectrum compared to those at the top of the list filled with All-Stars in every facet.
"Brewer Ball," however, became a fascinating watch for both baseball traditionalists and modern-day fans. New York Yankees great Derek Jeter said, "Quite frankly, that's how baseball's supposed to be played."
The Brewers do everything needed to win games, especially those close ones. They did it during the regular season, and they did so in the postseason, including Games 1 and 2 against the Rays before blowing them out in Game 3, 10-1, at Tropicana Field.
So, in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Brewers did exactly what was needed one last time to cap their magical season in the best way possible.
Time to celebrate, Brewers fans. Your team just won it all.
Sen Dan Sullivan brands Peltola’s alleged ballot scheme a ‘scandal at the highest order’
Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, told Fox News that Democrats will do "anything" to gain power while addressing reports that the campaign of his Democratic challenger Mary Peltola secretly participated in a months-long process to recruit people with his name to run in the Alaska U.S. Senate race.
The New York Times reported Wednesday that Peltola’s campaign, as well as senior aides at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, carried out the alleged election scheme in hopes that voters would be confused by two Dan Sullivans and therefore draw support from the incumbent Republican senator.
"This is a scandal at the highest order," Sen. Sullivan said during an interview on "Hannity" Wednesday.
"She and her team, and at the highest levels of the DSCC, spent over a year scheming in a secret operation to trick Alaskans to get them to throw away their vote," Sullivan said. "It's remarkable. The Democrats will do anything to gain power."
The Justice Department is moving to delay certification of Alaska’s U.S. Senate election results since two individuals by the name of Dan Sullivan appear alongside each other on the ballot. Listed on the ballot as "Sullivan, Dan S.," is the state’s incumbent U.S. senator, while "Sullivan, Daniel J. Jr.," is a retired schoolteacher.
"They've been lying for almost a year about it, and now they're caught," Sullivan told Fox News host Sean Hannity.
Peltola has dismissed reports of the alleged election scheme as "just another distraction," arguing that The New York Times’ report was solely purposed to "sell newspapers."
DEM BUCKS PARTY OVER ALLEGED ALASKA VOTE-SIPHONING EFFORT: 'NEITHER PARTY SHOULD BE DOING IT'
Her campaign also continues to assert innocence, previously telling Fox News in part that the Alaskans for Mary campaign "has no involvement with either Sullivan campaign."
Republican Sen. Sullivan called out what he described as Peltola’s hypocrisy, saying the alleged election scheme shows her "total contempt" for the people of Alaska.
ALASKA’S DAN SULLIVAN TELLS 'RUTHLESS' HE WILL OVERCOME DEM EFFORT TO ‘STEAL’ HIS NAME
"She's run a campaign about supposed corruption. She's the corrupt one working with D.C. insiders to trick Alaskans," he said.
"[Peltola and the DSCC] think so little of Alaskans that they thought they can trick them," he added.
The Alaska senator argued that Peltola made a concerted effort to trick voters with another Dan Sullivan because her campaign had "nothing to run on."
"This is what happens when you have a candidate like Peltola — far-left — who's got nothing to run on," Sullivan said. "I have a much stronger record… We have a vision for Alaskans that the Alaskan people want, and when they recognize that, they're like, ’Shoot, I guess we've got to cheat.’"
THE NINE KEY RACES THAT WILL DECIDE WHO CONTROLS THE SENATE, AND WHERE THEY STAND
Sullivan also noted that the alleged ballot scheme does not just apply to Alaska, but to the entire country as the state’s Senate race holds significant power in determining which party will hold a majority in the Senate.
"This goes to the highest levels of the government," he said on "Hannity." "The seat in Alaska could determine who controls the United States Senate. This isn't just about Alaska — this is about America."
Federal prosecutors are conducting an "aggressive criminal investigation" into how the second Sullivan secured a spot on Alaska's ballot, two sources familiar with the matter told Fox News.
Sullivan told "Hannity" he will do his best to inform every single Alaskan of the scheme.
"We're going to make sure every single Alaskan knows about this," Sullivan said.
"We are campaigning 24/7, and we're telling every Alaskan, ‘Don't let your vote be stolen.’"
Fox News Digital reached out to the Peltola campaign for comment.

Garrett Wilson doesn't want to be traded – but he admitted he's sick of losing with Jets
The Indianapolis Colts already declared themselves sellers before the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline, and now football fans are wondering which struggling team might be next.
The New York Jets, who share the Colts' 2-5 record, are among the teams with intriguing veterans they could trade.
Among them, star receiver Garrett Wilson, who has long been a bright light on what seems to be a constant overcast for the franchise that owns the longest active playoff drought in professional sports — 15 seasons.

During a media gathering ahead of the Jets’ Week 8 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, Wilson was asked once again about trade rumors involving himself before the deadline.
He made it clear he has no desire to be traded, but he’s also not happy with the losing culture that he hasn’t been able to escape since the Jets took him 10th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.

"Yeah, I want to be here, man," he told reporters, via ESPN. "I want to win games and that’s the one thing we’ve been missing on here. I love it here. Do I love it more than I love winning? Nah, to be completely honest, but I’m hopeful.
"I’ve never been the best optimistic guy, but I’ve found a way and dug deep, and I’ve been optimistic for three, four, five years now. And that’s why these [losses] each weekend hurt a little more."
The questions to Wilson came after he was noticeably frustrated on the Jets’ sideline during their 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins, who picked up their first win of the season. Wilson had only seen three targets from quarterback Geno Smith, hauling in two for 26 yards. The week prior, Wilson had four catches for 44 yards against the New England Patriots.
But just over a year ago, Wilson cashed in on a four-year, $130 million contract that keeps him locked in with the Jets through 2030. As such, his price tag for a potential trade would be quite high.
Then again, the Jets have proven to deal first-round talent after doing so last season amid a fire sale of their own. Defensive tackle Quinnen Williams landed with the Dallas Cowboys, while cornerback Sauce Gardner was dealt to the Colts, which came right after he signed his four-year, $120 million extension.
Simply put, nobody’s safe on a struggling roster. And Wilson may want to stay put, but his frustration is building as the Jets continue to lose.
Since he joined the Jets, Wilson has seen his team go 24-51, going no better than 7-10 in a single season.
"I’d be lying if I said it's not," Wilson said about the compounding losses and lack of getting targets in some games leading to frustration, "but at the end of the day it comes down to ... winning and losing. Throughout my experience, when things go right, I tend to have a part in that. And when it doesn't, it seems avoidable.
"That's my main frustration that may show on the TV or something like that. But I don't want it to ever be misconstrued. This all comes from a place in my heart of wanting to win. I'm biased, but it also comes from experience where I played my part in that."
Big 12 Conference addresses offensive chants from UCF fans directed at BYU during upset win
On the field, the UCF Knights had one of the biggest and most surprising wins of the season this past weekend in Orlando. A series of absurd, classic college football plays in the fourth quarter led to overtime, and the eventual program-changing win for UCF.
It was shocking, both for how the game played out, and the ultimate result. There was a blocked field goal, a goalline stop, an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty all in the lead up to overtime. Then we had two overtimes filled with more drama. And the obligatory field storming. Then there's BYU, coming off a massive win over Notre Dame in Provo that rearranged the College Football Playoff picture and put the Cougars in the top 2, losing as a clear favorite.
But the other shocking part of the game came before it started.
UCF KNIGHTS PULL OFF STUNNING UPSET OVER UNDEFEATED BYU IN MIND-BOGGLING OVERTIME THRILLER
Video from inside Acrisure Bounce House showed a number of UCF fans chanting "f--- the Mormons," a reference to BYU's religious background. There's always room for good-natured college football fan ribbing, chanting, rivalries, and even some good old-fashioned hate. But insulting the other school's religion is, well, a bit too far.
Some fans were removed by security, but the Big 12 Conference had a lot more to say about it in a new statement on Wednesday afternoon.

"While the Conference recognizes the pregame protocols followed by UCF and immediate actions taken during the game, including removal of some individuals responsible for the conduct, discriminatory behavior has no place in the Big 12," it reads.
"The Conference has issued UCF a $100,000 fine, which will be directed toward student education initiatives. In conjunction with this action, the Big 12 is implementing an updated Conference-wide policy establishing escalating consequences for discriminatory conduct at athletic events effective immediately."

The new punishments include an "automatic minimum $100,000 fine" for the first incident such as this, along with a "formal warning" to the institution while allowing them to "immediately address the behavior and prevent further incidents."

Money is bad enough, but more misbehavior in the same game will now result in a penalty. A second "confirmed incident" will now be a "competitive penalty, e.g., a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty in football or an unsportsmanlike two-shot technical foul in basketball."
Anyone ejected for similar conduct will be "prohibited from attending all athletic events for the remainder of the academic year and are subject to applicable University fan/student conduct policies."
That's the right way to handle this particular situation, though, of course, it's possible this gets overused if the conference starts cracking down on typical college student behavior and chanting. Not just when it goes too far, like it did during UCF-BYU.
The Knights' home crowd will have an opportunity to redeem themselves on Friday night when they host Baylor, while BYU hosts Arizona State on Halloween in Provo. They likely won't need to worry about too much misbehavior there.
Jon Lovitz reacts to Crystal Hefner's label as Playboy's 'No. 1 customer'
Jon Lovitz refused to dwell on the past and instead took the high road in response to claims made by Crystal Hefner.
In a recent appearance on the "Lisa Guerrero Unleashed" podcast, Hugh Hefner's widow marked Lovitz, 69, as Playboy Mansion's "No. 1 customer," even claiming he's "one of the biggest pervs" in Hollywood.
The "Rat Race" actor was spotted leaving a restaurant in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, where he admitted to feeling pride about his starting role on the roster.
"Any time someone says I’m No. 1, it’s a compliment," Lovitz said before doubling down on his admiration for the late media mogul.
"Hugh Hefner was one of the nicest, most generous people I’ve ever met, and all of his friends know it," Lovitz said. "That’s all I have to say about that."

On Tuesday's episode, Crystal criticized the "Saturday Night Live" star for allegedly being a "lurker" at the Holmby Hills house, once known for its opulent parties.
"He would be up there all the time," Crystal claimed. "His eyes would go front to back [looking at] all the women that walked through the door at the party."

She also claimed Lovitz's dog "peed all over the place," adding, "I remember him. Every time, every party."
Crystal began dating Hefner when she was 21 years old. The couple got engaged in 2010 when she was 24 and the Playboy founder was 84.
They called off their wedding just days before the ceremony in 2011 but later reconciled. Crystal and Hefner married in 2012 and remained together until his death in 2017. He was 91.
On her own "After the Mansion" show, Crystal called out another Hollywood star and claimed that Jack Nicholson treated the Playboy Mansion like his own hot spot.
"They used to call it Jack Nicholson’s drive-thru at one point because he would drive up, grab some food or whatever else he could get there and leave," she claimed.

Nicholson's daughter, Lorraine, once shared her own experiences at the famous mansion where she spent her childhood playing with Hef's sons, Marston and Cooper.
"People assume that my father took me to the Mansion, but they assume wrong," she wrote in a 2024 essay for Vanity Fair. "In fact, I can venture with confidence that I spent more time there than my father ever did."
Crystal alleged her late husband was obsessed with Hollywood lore and stardom.

"One thing that mattered most to Hef was fame," she claimed. "Any celebrity was treated extremely well whenever they visited. He would have Bill Maher for chats, hang with Berry Gordy of Motown, and then you’d see plenty of other people there. Buzz Aldrin, the original Catwoman."

Shortly after Hefner's death, Crystal told Fox News Digital, she was thankful for her marriage to the late business mogul.
"He taught me love. He taught me kindness. He gave me life. He really did," she explained. "He opened my mind, my world, to all of these opportunities and experiences I would have never in my lifetime been able to have."
