Raiders coach keeping Kirk Cousins as starting QB despite 4-game losing streak, Fernando Mendoza waiting

Everything was going well in Sin City to start the 2026 NFL season, as Kirk Cousins led Klint Kubiak’s new regime to a 3-0 start for the first time since 2021. But the Raiders have lost their last four games, including their most recent 35-21 defeat to the Los Angeles Rams, who got back on track Sunday. With the recent skid, some begged the question whether Kubiak would change quarterbacks considering Fernando Mendoza , the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, has yet to hear his number called in his rookie season. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Kubiak squashed that speculation on Monday. "[Cousins is] playing at a very high level, and he’s got to continue to do that for us to win," Kubiak told reporters, via ESPN . "We got to keep helping all the surrounding areas. [I’m] excited for him to go play against the Jets." So, that settles it: Cousins will be the starting quarterback against the 2-5 Jets on the road this Sunday. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UN...

Trump's fingerprints seen on Latin America's rightward shift as Brazil becomes next test

President Donald Trump's political influence is reaching far beyond America's borders as several Latin American countries shift toward right-leaning leadership, with Brazil emerging as the next major test of the region's changing political direction. For Argentina-born Trump rally attendee Marcelo Sandrin, who has lived in the U.S. for roughly three decades, the shift is unmistakable — and Trump deserves substantial credit. Speaking to Fox News Digital outside the T. Ed Garrison Arena near Clemson, Sandrin pointed to Argentine President Javier Milei and the prospect of another rightward shift in Brazil as signs of what he sees as Trump's growing influence. The trend comes as the Trump administration has also asserted U.S. power more directly in the region, most dramatically through the capture of Venezuelan socialist leader Nicolás Maduro. "[Trump deserves] a lot of credit," Sandrin told Fox News Digital, adding Milei is a very forceful libertarian, right-wing...

Nicki Minaj pledges to support Donald Trump again during Michigan Republican campaign rally

Rapper Nicki Minaj doubled down on her support for President Donald Trump during a Republican campaign rally in Michigan on Sunday, telling the president she would back him again if he ever sought another term. Minaj was invited onstage at the Port Huron rally by Trump, who was campaigning for Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers and gubernatorial candidate John James. "President Trump, it is an honor to stand with you every single time," Minaj said. "And I will continue to support you forever and ever. If you run again, I will support you again." Trump, who is serving his second term, is barred by the 22nd Amendment from being elected president to a third term. TRUMP BRUSHES OFF REPORTER QUESTION ABOUT RUNNING FOR THIRD TERM IN 2028: 'THE LAW IS VERY STRONG' The Grammy-nominated hip-hop star has increasingly voiced support for the president and recently served as a celebrity judge for the Small Business Administration on the Small Business Administratio...

Seattle Seahawks dominate Chiefs 20-3 as Sam Darnold silences critics in potential Super Bowl preview

After a bizarre 2025 season, the Kansas City Chiefs are right back at the top of the NFL in 2026 and already well on their way toward yet another Chiefs-Bills AFC Championship game. But last year's Super Bowl Champions, the Seattle Seahawks , have been far less convincing. After opening the season with two wins over the New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals, Seattle entered the weekend just 1-3 since. The surprising loss to the Commanders was followed by a win over the hapless LA Chargers, then two frustrating losses to the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos in overtime. Last weekend's loss was ugly enough that speculation started immediately afterward that Sam Darnold might be in danger of losing his starting job to Drew Lock. From Super Bowl winner to backing up Drew Lock in six games? It sounds crazy, but that's what going 27/51 with no touchdowns and two interceptions, in a losing effort to a quarterback with 107 passing yards, does in the NFL. DENVER BRONCOS...

Iran’s oil lifeline is drying up. The biggest pain may fall on ordinary citizens

Iran is approaching a financial reckoning as a U.S. naval blockade threatens to wipe out its seaborne crude oil revenues by mid-December — but the economic pain may fall more heavily on ordinary Iranians than on the military Washington is trying to constrain. Iran’s trackable floating oil inventory outside the U.S. blockade zone has fallen to zero, according to energy intelligence firm Kpler, which projects that Tehran's crude revenues could dry up by the middle of December as outstanding payments are settled. But the loss of oil revenue would not necessarily translate into an immediate military funding crisis. Tehran could shield military spending while cutting civilian programs, allowing inflation to erode purchasing power and drawing on alternative revenue sources. BESSENT SAYS IRAN WILL HAVE 'NOTHING LEFT TO TRADE' WITHIN TWO WEEKS AS OIL LIFELINE DRIES UP That complicates Washington's pressure campaign: The blockade may deprive Tehran of one of its biggest sources ...

Arch Manning, Texas survive Ole Miss after another second-half meltdown creates Austin anxiety

There are two faces to Texas , and I still don’t know which one we saw Saturday night against No. 7 Ole Miss as the Longhorns pulled off a thrilling 34-27 upset that came down to the final play. A week of buildup around a different version of Arch Manning and the pressure Steve Sarkisian was facing in regard to this offense showing up for all four quarters was nearing a combustable stage against Pete Golding's Rebels on Saturday night. Just when you thought this Texas team had shown us every possible way to blow a lead, it found a new one Saturday night in Austin. DID WE CREATE A MONSTER?
