BOBBY BURACK: It's almost certainly over for Troy Aikman and Joe Buck as a duo

It is almost certainly over for Troy Aikman and Joe Buck as ESPN’s lead NFL broadcast team. Reports that the ongoing drama is part of a leverage strategy now appear increasingly implausible. No one with knowledge of the situation expects Aikman to remain with ESPN beyond the end of this season. In fact, there is more industry discussion about whether Aikman and Buck can work together through ESPN’s Super Bowl broadcast in February than about whether Aikman will re-sign with the network. According to sources in and around ESPN, the prevailing expectation is that Aikman will leave, and the network will sign Greg Olsen to replace him in March. Several outlets have reported on a confrontation between Buck and Aikman earlier this month before a Monday Night Football match up. Buck reportedly confronted Aikman for ignoring him, while Aikman accused Buck of sabotaging his contract negotiations by signing his own deal first.

Rays stay alive in World Series, walk off Brewers in thrilling extra-inning Game 4

The Tampa Bay Rays live to play another day, coming through with a two-run 13th inning to walk off the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 4 of the World Series 4-3. The Brewers , smelling its first World Series title in franchise history after 22-year-old Cooper Pratt broke an innings-long 2-2 tie with a solo home run in the top of the 13th inning, were just three outs away from celebrating.  But after an error allowed Junior Caminero to reach base to start the frame, the Rays finally smelled some life. Liam Hicks made even more believers in Tropicana Field when his single moved Caminero to third base, and Jonny DeLuca told the Brewers, "Not so fast!" CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE DeLuca’s RBI single to center field scored the tying run, and the rally was on.

Halima Salman convicted of receiving ISIS military training in Syria, faces 10 years in prison

A federal jury on Tuesday convicted Halima Salman of knowingly receiving military-style training from ISIS while living in Syria, bringing an emotional end to a closely watched terrorism trial. The case was believed to mark the first time a woman accused of joining ISIS stood trial in a U.S. federal court. Salman, also known as "Umm Khattab al-Muhajir," is a 27-year-old U.S. citizen and former Brooklyn resident who faces up to 10 years in prison. She is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 2. According to federal prosecutors, Salman's parents traveled with her and her eight siblings out of the United States in 2016, ultimately taking the family to ISIS-controlled territory in Syria.

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...
