No further details were disclosed about the potential attack. The State Department said that “should Hamas proceed with this attack, measures will be taken to protect the people of Gaza and preserve the integrity of the ceasefire.”

James Franklin shocked at Penn State firing him months after playing for a chance at national title

October 18, 2025

James Franklin says he was shocked when Penn State fired him hours after a loss in which the Nittany Lions also lost quarterback Drew Allar to a season-ending injury but that he cannot wait to coach again elsewhere. Franklin said Saturday on ESPN’s “College GameDay” that Penn State athletic director Pat Kraft visited him ahead of a practice last Sunday and told him the university was making a change. Franklin said he was surprised because Penn State was fighting to play for a national title six games ago and was a two-minute drive away from beating Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl last season. He said decisions were made that didn’t involve him.

October 18, 2025

Ryan Blaney faces a tough challenge in NASCAR’s playoffs after a crash in Las Vegas. He’s drawing inspiration from wrestling legend Randy Savage and his quote: “The cream will rise to the top.” Blaney is last among the eight remaining playoff drivers with two races left. He’s 31 points below the cutline. He aims to reach the championship four for the third straight season. Meanwhile, William Byron’s crash in Las Vegas led to fallout, including his spotter losing his job.

Miami’s perfect season hopes are dashed as Beck throws 4 interceptions in loss to Louisville

October 18, 2025

Carson Beck and the Miami Hurricanes are dealing with a loss for the first time. Miami’s hopes for a perfect season vanished Friday night when it lost 24-21 to Louisville. Beck, who had never thrown four interceptions in a college game, took the blame. He became the first Miami quarterback in 12 years to be intercepted four times. Despite completing 71.4% of his passes for 271 yards, those interceptions proved costly. Louisville didn’t score off Beck’s mistakes, but Miami couldn’t overcome the wasted drives. Coach Mario Cristobal emphasized learning from the loss. Beck remains optimistic, noting there are six more games to play this season.

Shutdown impact: What it means for workers, federal programs and the economy

October 18, 2025

The federal government shutdown is approaching the second longest on record and there’s no end in sight. Some lawmakers predict it could surpass the 35-day shutdown from President Donald Trump’s first term. The nation’s 1.3 million active-duty service members have gotten a temporary reprieve. But hundreds of thousands of federal civilian employees are being furloughed and facing financial stress. The travel economy is taking a big hit with tourist sites such as Smithsonian museums in the nation’s capital closed. There have been air controller shortages in some cities and flight delays. The longer the shutdown lasts, the more it could be a drag on the economy.

Brewers outclassed by Ohtani and big-money Dodgers as rousing season ends with NLCS sweep

October 18, 2025

Turned out the National League Championship Series was indeed a mismatch, just as Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy suggested. But not only in payroll and star power. On the baseball field, too. Where it really matters. After compiling the best record in the majors during the regular season, the scrappy Brewers appeared capable of beating anybody — until they ran into Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Milwaukee mustered only four runs and 14 hits in a four-game Dodgers sweep that left the Brewers steps short of the World Series once again. The team’s only pennant came in 1982, when Milwaukee was in the American League.

Belichick’s North Carolina tenure hit by heartbreaking loss to Cal after late fumble

October 18, 2025

Bill Belichick’s tenure at North Carolina has been challenging, with the team still seeking its first victory against a power opponent. The Tar Heels suffered a heartbreaking 21-18 loss to California on Friday night. Nathan Leacock’s fumble at the goal line late in the fourth quarter turned a potential go-ahead touchdown into a defining moment. Despite improvements, turnovers have been costly for the team. Belichick, in his first year with a lucrative contract, faces scrutiny both on and off the field. The team’s only wins have come against lower-level opponents, adding pressure to the NFL-style approach.
