LaNorris Sellers' acrobatics, late fumble recovery help give South Carolina walk-off win over Tennessee
LaNorris Sellers' Heisman candidacy may be out the window, but whatever pose he pulled off will live in South Carolina lore for quite some time.
The quarterback barreled, twisted and turned through Tennessee defenders to tie the game late, and the Gamecocks then turned an ensuing fumble into a walk-off field goal in their 27-24 victory over No. 11 Tennessee.
With roughly three and a half minutes to go at the South Carolina 38, the Vols went for it on 4th and 1 but were stuffed. South Carolina then moved down the field on a drive that resulted in a touchdown you have to see the believe.

On 3rd and goal from the 4, Sellers scrambled right and was at first stuffed at the 3. But he kept churning his feet and was nearly down at the 1. Yet just as he was about to be down, he laid out for the end zone and scored. The PAT tied the game at 24 with 1:17 to go.
Tennessee had a chance to make magic of their own, but instead, on just the third play of their drive, George MacIntyre lost a fumble, and the Gamecocks recovered at the Vols' 34 with 33 seconds left.
Four plays later, Malik Orsan drilled a walk-off 48-yard field goal as time expired, and the South Carolina faithful stormed the field.
South Carolina had been 1-28 when trailing by seven or more points in the fourth quarter under Shane Beamer. It is also back-to-back wins against ranked teams for the Gamecocks after a massive upset in Gainesville against Florida.

Sellers was South Carolina's leading rusher, going for 96 yards on 18 carries and scoring twice. South Carolina had gone up 14-0 in the first quarter but let Tennessee fight back.
South Carolina is now 4-3 on the season and 2-3 in SEC play. For Tennessee, it's their second loss on the season against six wins (3-2 in conference). The loss will almost surely knock them out of potential College Football Playoff seeding — but the first CFP poll isn't until Nov. 3.
In any case, Tennessee will have some making-up to do, and that will start in two weeks against No. 12 Kentucky back in Knoxville. South Carolina will host Oklahoma next week.
NC State fires Dave Doeren after 14 years as Wolfpack football coach following loss to Stanford
North Carolina State announced Saturday the firing of head football coach Dave Doeren.
The announcement comes a day after the Wolfpack fell to 3-4 on the season after losing to Stanford, 31-28.
"I want to thank Coach Doeren for his service and contributions to NC State, and for always representing the university with pride," athletic director Boo Corrigan said in a statement. "I appreciate his leadership during his 14-year tenure and the passion he brought to this role. We wish Dave, [wife] Sara and his family the best in the future."

The school said a "national search" for the team's next head coach will begin "immediately."
Doeren had been with the program since 2013 after two seasons at Northern Illinois, his very first head coaching gig. He went 3-9 in his first season with the Wolfpack but turned them into a perennial bowl game participant.
The Wolfpack went to 11 bowl games in Doeren's 13 full seasons, including each of the last six. They are 1-3 this season in ACC play, however.
"It starts with me," Doeren said after Friday's loss. "The guys didn’t play well enough which means I didn’t have them ready."
Doeren went 98-73 at NC State after going 23-4 with Northern Illinois. He finished above .500 in 10 of his campaigns.
Running backs coach and special teams coordinator Todd Goebbel, who has been on the coaching staff since 2019, will serve as the interim head coach for the rest of the season.
The post-Doeren era will begin on Halloween when NC State hosts California.
Doeren is the second coach let go this season after Maryland and Mike Locksley parted ways earlier this week.
Obama compares Trump's White House renovations to 'Saddam Hussein opening a Cheesecake Factory' at Ohio rally
Former President Barack Obama mocked President Donald Trump's White House renovations Saturday, comparing the historic residence to a Cheesecake Factory run by Saddam Hussein while campaigning for Democrats in Ohio.
Obama delivered the jab during a Cleveland rally supporting Democrat gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton and Senate candidate Sherrod Brown, criticizing Trump's priorities just 10 days before the midterm elections.
"I mean, I don't know if you've noticed, but he seems very focused on home renovations," Obama said. "He should be on HGTV."
OBAMA CLAIMS HE OCCUPIES 'A SUITE' IN TRUMP'S MIND, QUESTIONS THE PRESIDENT'S FOCUS ON AMERICANS
Obama rattled off Trump's ballroom project, Rose Garden makeover and South Lawn helipad before taking aim at the president's affinity for gold décor.
"He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory," Obama quipped.
The renovations, however, include several functional upgrades to the White House grounds.
The Rose Garden's former central lawn was replaced with limestone paving in 2025, creating a patio for outdoor events, speeches and entertaining, while the traditional roses were retained around the perimeter.
Trump also unveiled an upgraded granite White House helipad featuring the presidential seal in September. Official White House photographs show Marine One landing on and departing from the new facility during a Sept. 21 ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The administration's ballroom project is intended to provide permanent, secure space for large official events, addressing a longstanding reliance on temporary tents for major White House functions. A National Park Service environmental assessment notes that the need for expanded event space was identified in a White House planning document dating to 2000.
Obama's swipe at Trump's White House makeover comes as his own presidential center in Chicago has faced criticism over its imposing, granite-clad tower, which some critics have dubbed the 'Obamalisk,' along with ballooning construction costs and years of delays.
The Obama Presidential Center's projected price tag has surpassed $1 billion, nearly triple its original $350 million estimate, according to previous Fox News Digital reporting. Subcontractors have alleged they are owed millions for their work, while taxpayers have been saddled with hundreds of millions of dollars in associated public infrastructure costs separate from the center's construction budget.
Obama's criticism extended beyond the presidential residence to Trump's handling of the conflict with Iran, which the former president blamed for higher energy costs.
"Most importantly, he decided to start an unnecessary war that nobody asked for and nobody voted for," Obama said.
He also defended the nuclear agreement negotiated during his presidency.
TRUMP RIPS OBAMA'S 'STUPID' IRAN DEAL, CLAIMS FORMER PRESIDENT THOUGHT 'HE COULD BRIBE THEM'
"Iran didn't have nuclear weapons because I had put a deal in place that everybody knows kept them from getting nukes," Obama claimed.
Trump withdrew the United States from the 2015 agreement in 2018, arguing that its temporary nuclear restrictions were insufficient and that it failed to adequately address Iran's ballistic missile program and support for regional militant terror groups.
The agreement offered Tehran sanctions relief in exchange for nuclear restrictions and international inspections. Inspectors reported some Iranian compliance before the U.S. withdrawal, although Iran subsequently expanded uranium enrichment beyond the deal's proposed limits.
Obama also accused Trump of pursuing policies that increased consumer costs, criticizing immigration enforcement as he urged Ohio voters to hold Republicans accountable.
Acton faces Republican Vivek Ramaswamy in the governor's race, while Brown is challenging Republican Sen. Jon Husted.
The former president carried Ohio in both 2008 and 2012, but the state has backed Trump in his three presidential campaigns.
Fox News Digital contacted the White House for comment on Obama's remarks.

Indiana outlasts Michigan in overtime for first win at Big House since 1967
There have been few reasons to celebrate in Ann Arbor over the three seasons since Michigan won the College Football Playoff national championship.
On Saturday, the Wolverines’ misery continued as they failed to reach the end zone when they needed it most and suffered their third loss of the season, a 13-6 overtime defeat to defending national champion Indiana.
Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover scored on a 4-yard touchdown run in overtime, then the Hoosiers’ defense stopped Michigan on its ensuing possession to secure a 13-6 victory. The win also prevented Indiana from suffering its first two-game losing streak in three years under coach Curt Cignetti and marked the Hoosiers’ first victory at Michigan Stadium since 1967.
OLE MISS AND TEXAS COLLIDE IN MASSIVE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SHOWDOWN WITH ARCH MANNING'S SEASON AT STAKE
Tommy Carr started at quarterback for the Wolverines, while Bryce Underwood sat out. However, Carr, a freshman, didn’t fare as well as he did last week, when he came off the bench to help Michigan defeat Penn State.
Carr lost a fumble on an ill-advised pitch in the first quarter and was picked off in the second half. He took sacks in the second and third quarters that led to missed field goals, including a 32-yard kick after advancing to the Indiana 1.

Michigan reached the Hoosiers 3 in the final minute of regulation when Carr was sacked for a fourth time, leading to a 26-yard field goal as time expired.
Hoover struggled, too, until making a 21-yard pass to Brock Schott on the first snap of overtime that set up his touchdown.
Carr finished with 167 passing yards, an interception and a fumble. His brother, Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr, attended the game while his team had the weekend off. Indiana returns home next week to face Minnesota, while Michigan will look to rebound against Rutgers.

Packers activate Josh Jacobs; running back set to play in first game since domestic violence arrest
Fresh off the commissioner's exempt list, Josh Jacobs will play in his first game on Sunday since his arrest on charges of domestic violence earlier this year.
The Green Bay Packers running back landed on the list following the alleged incident, missing the team's first six games.
But the team activated him on Saturday, and he will likely be the team's lead back in their NFC North matchup against the Detroit Lions.

The league continues to investigate Jacobs' situation despite Jacobs' plea of no contest to both misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property. Jacobs being removed from the list doesn't hinder the investigation, the NFL has noted, but he is allowed back with the Packers.
Jacobs was placed on the commissioner’s exempt list Aug. 30, three days after charges were filed against him. His status on the commissioner’s exempt list prevented him from playing or practicing, but he still could prepare himself in other ways.
"He could go to meetings," head coach Matt LaFleur said earlier this week. "He could lift with our strength coaches and condition with them. He couldn’t go to any of the team activities – the practices and what not."
Green Bay (4-2) has won three straight, but is averaging just 59.8 yards rushing per game – 16.2 fewer than anyone else. The Packers also are last in the league in yards per carry (2.9). MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson and Pierre Strong Jr. all have been given chances to establish themselves. None have been productive.
Jacobs ran for 929 yards and 13 touchdowns while gaining 4 yards per carry last year. That followed a 2024 season in which he rushed for 1,329 yards and 15 touchdowns while making the Pro Bowl.
Jacobs spoke with reporters earlier this week, expressing remorse for his actions.

"Excited to be back with the team, with the guys," he said during his media availability. "I want to say thank you to the organization really for supporting me throughout this whole process and how everything played out.
"With that being said, I can't really get into a lot of things, like specifics of things, but obviously I'm remorseful, and sorry for putting this (team) in this situation.
"Sometimes, when you go through life, situations occur, and a four-second, three-second decision can alter your life honestly. With that being said, still a human being, man, still trying to learn, still trying to grow from the whole process. Actually learned a lot throughout this whole process, legally and just personally."
Jacobs also filed a civil suit last week calling for an injunction and a protective order surrounding evidence, specifically surveillance footage of the incident, which would restrict access to records of the case.

Democratic senator accused of 'political malpractice' after job ad ignites firestorm over DEI language
A Democratic senator’s internship job posting was deemed "political malpractice" by an essay in The Atlantic on Friday that argued diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) language can fuel the White identity politics that Democrats oppose.
The commentary by Conor Friedersdorf, headlined "The DEI Language That’s Doing More Harm Than Good," pointed to a social media post from Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., in which he sought interns for his Boston office.
In the post, Markey wrote, "BIPOC, LGBTQ+, working class, veterans, and other underrepresented candidates with Massachusetts ties are encouraged to apply."
TRUMP ADMIN'S PUSH TO SCRAP DEI IN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TAKES LANDMARK STEP WITH NEW HIRING RULE
The senator’s call for applications sparked criticism online, with critics suggesting Markey was openly discriminating against White men while attempting to appear inclusive.
The Atlantic essay noted that Manhattan Institute senior fellow Christopher Rufo alleged Markey’s internship posting was an open violation of civil rights law and called on the Justice Department to pursue federal charges.
Former Trump Justice Department appointee Theo Wold also weighed in, writing that the goal of the Democratic Party is to make sure White men "have no opportunities to find gainful employment."
Friedersdorf called the senator’s wording "political malpractice," arguing that language that fuels White identity politics is harmful to Americans of all races, even when the intent is good. He added that Democrats should instead adopt rhetoric that clearly commits to equal opportunity.
"White identitarians would exist even in a world without bias of any sort in recruitment or hiring –– but using language that fuels White identity politics, as Markey’s language did, is political malpractice that’s bad for Americans of all races, no matter how well intentioned it might be," the author wrote.
Fox News Digital reached out to Markey's office for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
NEW YORK TIMES SUED BY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVER ALLEGED 'DEI-RELATED' EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION
The article went on to argue that Democrats were more likely than Republicans to support policies that promote diversity in employment opportunities, which Friedersdorf said have prompted credible allegations of discrimination from White men.
Friedersdorf added that members of Generation Z are even more likely to perceive discrimination against young, White men, and that generational differences can further exacerbate the sentiment.
According to the article, in 2019, about a third of young men said men face some discrimination in America. By 2025, that figure was reportedly 51%.
AOC SAYS ‘WOKE 1 WAS CRAZY,’ BUT DEMOCRATS STILL OWE VOTERS AN EXPLANATION
However, Markey’s call for applications — and the outrage it sparked — drew the attention of Democratic political strategist Kaivan Shroff, who told Fox News Digital the post may have done more harm than good when it comes to Democrats’ public pledge for equality.
"Markey’s post is exactly the kind of virtue signaling that feeds the outrage cycle without actually doing much for diversity," Shroff said. "If your office genuinely wants a broader applicant pool, you should already have relationships with colleges, community groups and organizations that can get the posting in front of those candidates."
Shroff added that the senator's post appeared to be more about "announcing your values than doing the harder work of diverse recruiting."
"So there is also a basic competence question here," Shroff told Fox News Digital. "A Senate office should not need social media language that makes half the country wonder whether they are less welcome in order to find diverse applicants. That also makes the post look like a substitute for the infrastructure you should already have."
The essay concluded by pointing to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., as a model. Her office’s intern job posting describes it as an equal-opportunity employer and encourages "all individuals from all backgrounds" to apply — a notable difference from Markey’s own solicitation.
Warren’s approach was echoed by Shroff, who noted how Democrats have increasingly turned social flashpoints into easy lay-ups for their opponents.
"The larger political mistake is that Democrats keep handing the right these easy cultural fights for almost no substantive benefit," the Democratic strategist said. "Most people understand the argument for widening opportunity and even rebalancing past unfairness where possible."
"What they resent is language that makes it sound like to lift up one group or groups you have to put down or exclude another and that is just unproductive — and incorrect," Shroff added. "Politics is all about addition and not subtraction, so it’s a wrongheaded approach."
David Spade and Dana Carvey call out Hollywood for focusing too much on race and gender
David Spade and Dana Carvey call out Hollywood's focus on race and gender.
In a recent episode of their "Fly on the Wall" podcast, the two comedians questioned Hollywood's emphasis on race and gender, with Spade arguing that the industry should "stop separating us like that" by highlighting those distinctions.
"On race, let me just say at any of these award shows, I saw a clip the other day saying, 'And this gentleman won, and he's the first Black director to win for this documentary,' I wish they would quit saying that because I think everyone we can't all be equal to you," Spade said. "'Oh, the first in 30 years to have a Black actor win this.' If you just say we're all actors . . .now this is my point of view, that it just makes it more even and not, we're all just the same. We're all acting."
Carvey then joked that when he won his Emmy Award, they announced that he was the "198th straight white male that has won this award."
ISSA RAE SAYS DEI HAS BECOME A 'BAD WORD' IN HOLLYWOOD AS EXECUTIVES OF COLOR 'TIPTOE' TO KEEP JOBS
Spade also pointed out that while he was working on the hit NBC show, "Just Shoot Me," from 1997 to 2003, they would inform him anytime they would be working with a female director that week.
"I [would] go, 'That's fine. Just is it a director? Yeah. Okay, we got it.' Like you don't even have to say that," Spade said. "Female director. It feels like a little, not condescending, but a little diminishing. That's a good word. It's a little 5%. Instead of going, 'We don't have a regular director,' you know what I mean? So, I was a big proponent of fighting that."
Carvey agreed with his co-host, mentioning that "female director" is "a funny thing to say."
In a previous episode of their podcast released in March, Spade gave his candid opinion on the state of Hollywood under the Democrat leadership of Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass, "the Hollywood industry is dying" and that he's "just trying to put the blame somewhere."

"Dude, I'm so old," he said. "I was on the lot at, uh, CBS Radford when we were doing ‘Just Shoot Me.’ … And also they were doing 'Seinfeld,' and I'd see him on his bike. It was the greatest lot. Of course, just filed for bankruptcy, the lot. Terrifying in LA Thanks, [LA Mayor] Karen Bass. Thanks, [Gov.] Gavin [Newsom]."
The mayor's press office responded to Spade's claims at the time, telling Fox News Digital in a statement, "Mayor Bass has championed the entertainment industry because it’s a bedrock of our middle class.

"This year alone, she slashed filming fees at Griffith Observatory and reopened the LA Central Library to film production for the first time in over a decade," the statement added. "Under her leadership, more than 3 million square feet of studio and creative office space have been approved, and over 120 sound stages are now under construction across Los Angeles."
In April, Spade and Carvey revisited Hollywood's struggles when comedian Tim Dillon joined their podcast as a guest.
PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE
During the episode, Spade recalled how he "got in trouble" for his previous comments, clarifying, "I wasn't really mad at Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass."
"I was just saying, ‘Could we make it a slightly more of a priority? I don't know what we're spending the money on that's flowing in, because it's a lot flowing in, but it goes out so quickly. I want to sort of reserve a little piece of the pie to like focus, like let's try to get this back,’" Spade said. "That's all."
Although Spade softened his criticism of California's leadership, Dillon argued that Bass and Newsom "seem to think everything's kind of going well," adding, "When someone thinks things are going well, it's very hard to make them understand" that people are leaving.
Beverly Hills school board candidate under fire over messages mocking trustee's visit to Jewish holy site
Beverly Hills school board candidate Kim Lifschitz faced accusations of antisemitism this week after screenshots surfaced appearing to mock a trustee's visit to Jerusalem's Western Wall, while a separate controversy involving her husband's comments featured on a livestream by Twitch streamer Hasan Piker resurfaced.
The screenshots show messages labeled with Lifschitz's name responding to a Beverly Hills Standard article documenting Beverly Hills Unified School District Board of Education member Russell Stuart's New Year's Day visit to the Western Wall, one of Judaism's holiest sites.
One message attributed to Lifschitz appeared to ridicule his kippah, a traditional Jewish head covering. "Maybe he can bust out the kippah from his dress up trunk," the message said.
Another message attributed to Lifschitz appeared later in the conversation, continuing the joke about Stuart's religious head covering, saying, "He probably used it to store his complimentary in-flight nuts."
RIHANNA'S BEVERLY HILLS HOME TARGETED IN BRAZEN DAYLIGHT SHOOTING
Stuart, whose family is Jewish, condemned the messages in a statement to Fox News Digital, saying political disagreements do not justify ridiculing religious practices.
"I found them deeply offensive," he said. "My visit to the Western Wall was personal and meaningful to me. Seeing a kippah described as something from a 'dress up trunk' turns Jewish religious observance into a costume and a punchline."
"Anyone is welcome to challenge my votes, my positions or my work on the school board. Mocking my religious observance crosses a very different line," he continued.
Lifschitz pushed back against the allegations in a statement to Fox News Digital, acknowledging that the nearly year-old messages came from a private group chat while arguing that her criticism concerned what she described as Stuart's use of Jewish religious symbols to gain political support.
"I said nothing antisemitic at all. In fact, I criticized Russell Stuart for disrespecting Jewish culture and observance," she said. "He was treating a kippah like a costume used in a performance, and he afforded it the same amount of respect one would give a container for airplane snacks."
"I didn’t 'attack' Russell Stuart for wearing a kippah or visiting the Western Wall," Lifschitz continued. "I expressed disgust that he turned those things into internet content."
California GOP Jewish Engagement Chair and attorney Elizabeth Barcohana, who has publicly criticized Lifschitz's candidacy, also condemned the school board hopeful, accusing her of being "prejudiced, rude, and unserious about education or the well-being of children."
Lifschitz, who identified herself as Jewish, also pointed to her personal experiences with antisemitism when explaining why she questioned Stuart's intentions.
"As a Jewish woman who has experienced plenty of antisemitism in her lifetime and who has a son who cannot protect himself from it, it's hardly surprising that I assumed the worst about his intentions, given the evidence available to me," Lifschitz said.
A newly circulated screenshot shows a group-chat message labeled with Lifschitz's name appearing to ridicule BHUSD Board Vice President Sigalie Sabag for discussing Holocaust survivors. According to the Beverly Hills Standard, the remark concerned Sabag's discussion of survivors who had spoken with district students.
"Love that Sigalie is talking about holocaust survivors like she collected the most Pokémon," the message said.
Stuart characterized the comments concerning his religious observance as antisemitic and called on Lifschitz to address them directly.
"I consider the remarks attributed to her antisemitic because they ridicule Jewish religious observance and an identifiable symbol of Jewish faith. I cannot speak to what was in her heart, but I can speak to the words," Stuart said.
HASAN PIKER POINTS THE FINGER AT AIPAC AS DEMOCRATS SPEAK OUT AGAINST HIM
The controversy comes as Lifschitz competes for one of two seats on the BHUSD Board of Education in the Nov. 3 election. During an October interview with the Beverly Press, she emphasized combating discrimination and modeling appropriate behavior for students.
"You have to be a role model," she said. "You have to model the conduct that we are expecting from our children."
The allegations follow previous scrutiny involving Lifschitz's husband, Daniel Lifschitz, who wrote on Instagram that a clip of him had been featured on far-left streamer Hasan Piker's livestream after publicly criticizing the district's antisemitism resolution, according to a screenshot posted by Barcohana on X.
"I just wanted to make some MAGA folks on the school board feel bad and now I'm on [Hasan Piker's] livestream..." Daniel Lifschitz said in an Instagram post.
During a September 2025 livestream, Piker replayed a Fox 11 Los Angeles report by Chelsea Edwards concerning the district's decision to reverse a proposal to display Israeli flags during Jewish American Heritage Month. The footage featured Daniel Lifschitz criticizing the original resolution.
Piker praised Lifschitz's comments and compared displaying Israeli flags to displaying Nazi flags during a hypothetical German-American heritage commemoration.
Kim Lifschitz previously disputed claims that her husband appeared as an invited guest on Piker's program, explaining that the streamer had independently replayed television footage featuring his public remarks.
She also defended the private nature of the group-chat conversation, accusing Stuart and his supporters of seeking out critical remarks and using them to portray her negatively.
"Adults are allowed to dislike each other and talk about it amongst themselves in private chats," she said. "Seeking out the opinions of those you know dislike you, and then painting them as monsters when you 'catch' them doing what you expected them to do, is the equivalent of putting a stick through the wheel of your own bicycle."
Barcohana criticized the district's previous leadership and teachers' union, arguing that Beverly Hills parents had pushed for greater accountability over school spending and education policy.
"Parents in Beverly Hills worked very hard to take control of their children’s education back from the teachers’ union and other special interests, who allowed taxpayer money to be squandered without proper oversight," Barcohana told Fox News Digital.
"Once that happened, incompetent and unpopular school principals, teachers, and the superintendent were fired and replaced; student test scores and academic achievement improved, budgets got under control and teacher pay increased to record highs, and enrollment increased," she said.

The 2026 World Series has a crucial Game 2 at American Family Field as the Milwaukee Brewers aim to extend their lead after a nail-biting 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1. Tampa Bay looks to bounce back, steal momentum, and earn a split on the road before returning to St. Petersburg for Game 3.
The matchup features an intriguing battle on the mound between two stellar starting pitchers. Right-hander Logan Henderson takes the ball for Milwaukee after an outstanding regular season, while the Rays counter with veteran righty Drew Rasmussen. Both pitching staffs demonstrated their depth in Friday night's opener, and managing pitch counts will be vital as both managers try to keep their bullpens fresh for the upcoming travel day.
Offensively, Milwaukee will look for production from slugger William Contreras and spark plug Brice Turang, while Tampa Bay relies on power hitter Junior Caminero and Jonathan Aranda to catalyze their lineup. Yesterday, both teams saw a bit of success from their key contributors, but they will need more of that today. Jackson Chourio, William Contreras and Christian Yelich all had hits and RBI’s last night. Aranda went 3-for-3 for the Rays, and Caminero had a hit and drew a walk in the ninth.

Josh Brolin credits strict morning ritual with helping him stay sober for 12 years
Josh Brolin starts his mornings with a commitment to sobriety.
The "Dune" star said he joins a recovery meeting on Zoom every morning at 6 a.m. sharp, making the daily commitment a cornerstone of his life after years of struggling with drinking.
"Drinking got boring in the end," Brolin told The Telegraph when asked how long he had been sober.
JOSH BROLIN WATCHED MAN GET BIT BY LION WHILE GROWING UP ON WILDLIFE RANCH
He recalled waking up on the sidewalk outside his house once again, a moment that prompted him to question the direction of his life.
"Which way was I going to go for the rest of my life?" he said.
Brolin said he attends the daily meetings as part of his recovery, insisting sobriety has brought him more enjoyment than drinking ever did.

"I love being sober. I’m having way more fun now than I ever did drinking, and I never end up in jail, which is a real bonus," he said.
The candid admission highlights how Brolin has embraced a daily routine to maintain his sobriety.
Brolin has also opened up about another addiction he has struggled to overcome — nicotine.
During a 2024 appearance on the "WTF with Marc Maron" podcast, the actor revealed that nicotine pouches had become a near-constant presence after he gave up chewing tobacco. He said he kept the pouches "all over the house" and sometimes used them without even realizing it.
"My wife would hear this in the middle of the night," Brolin said before mimicking a chewing noise. "I don't even know I'm doing it. I'm asleep. I have a pouch in my lip, and I'm not f---ing lying — 24 hours a day."

The habit even followed him into bed.
"Then I started taking them out and putting them on the bedside table," he said.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nicotine pouches contain nicotine, flavorings and other ingredients, with nicotine absorbed through the gums and lining of the mouth. The agency says nicotine is highly addictive and that more research is needed to understand the products' short- and long-term health effects.

Brolin's comments underscore the challenges he has faced with nicotine even as he celebrates his sobriety from alcohol.
Brolin has spoken openly about his past struggles and his decision to turn his life around. In his 2024 memoir, "From Under the Truck," he explored the personal experiences that shaped his relationship with addiction and recovery.
The actor, known for roles in "Avengers: Endgame" and "No Country for Old Men," stars alongside Austin Abrams and Elisabeth Shue in "Whalefall."
