They sprayed champagne. They FaceTimed Gavin Williams. They savored the moment, no one more than Jo Adell, who had only ever watched these playoff celebrations with envy. “Champagne's burning my eyes right now. That’s a good thing. I’ll never forget this" nytimes.com/athletic/7628296…
For some Guardians, playoff dreams are about to become reality (Gift Article)

Significant - the networks refuse to cover #Trump after he banned CNN from the White House because he didn't like the coverage. Standing up for freedom of speech.

NEW: The presidential TV pool has been suspended as networks react to the White House's ongoing ban of CNN. That means, for now, that no major TV network will provide coverage of Trump's events, including today's appearances at the WH and his trip to the United Nations.

The Lions have given up 915 yards in two games (plus an OT). Historically horrific. DC Kelvin Sheppard has to figure something out, but so does Brad Holmes. Trade for Steelers' disgruntled CB Joey Porter Jr? Yes. He's only 26. He's not an All-Pro but he'd be a huge improvement.

Trying to understand how this story published with my byline last week while I was on my honeymoon. I did not write or review a word of it and it does not pull info from past reporting. Does cleveland.com think they just own my name now? cleveland.com/news/2026/09/c…

The jobs numbers look legit. Hold the conspiracy theories.⁣ ⁣ Plenty to worry about in this economy still. But these statistics are real, and they're coming from serious statisticians.
