Meet the grandma who just crushed an Ironman

The GIST: Crisp leaves, cooler temps, and a winner-take-all baseball game — there’s nothing quite like October. The Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays will meet for Game 7 tonight at 8:08 p.m. ET, with the winner advancing to the World Series for a matchup with the defending champ LA Dodgers. Here’s what to expect in this can’t-miss showdown.

🔱 Mariners playing for first-ever World Series appearance: Once boasting a commanding 2-0 series lead, each of Seattle’s losses this series have been of the lopsided variety. From uncharacteristic errors to shaky starting pitching, the M’s will need to return to the steady play that earned them their first AL West pennant since 2001.

• George Kirby will take the mound to try and tame this explosive Toronto squad, but as for Seattle’s bats, keep an eye on infielder Jorge Polanco. He’s delivered countless clutch hits this postseason — the M’s faithful will just need to hope he comes through again.

🐦 Will the Blue Jays offense stay hot?: Toronto did their best Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde impression this series, starting off slow before blasting 29 runs over their last four games. First baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has provided plenty of power — including a home run in last night’s 6–2 win — while outfielder Addison Barger drove in three runs. If they keep swinging like this, expect Rogers Centre to erupt tonight.

💙 One more thing: We simply have to mention the Dodgers’ NLCS MVP Shohei Ohtani, who helped his squad sweep their way back to the World Series with one of the best baseball performances of all time on Friday. Not only did Ohtani pitch six shutout innings, he also blasted three home runs in the clinching 5–1 victory. We are not worthy.

The GIST: From first-time touchdown catchers to jaw-dropping fourth-quarter comebacks, Week 7 was a point-scoring party — but not every head coach brought their team to the festivities. That’s right, pink slip rumblings abound…

🐬 Will the Miami Dophins fire head coach Mike McDaniel?: McDaniel might not be thinking about his job security, but everyone else is. Miami’s abysmal 1-6 start was punctuated by yesterday’s 31–6 blowout loss to the Cleveland Browns, an offense that averaged just 13.7 points per game heading into this tilt. Not great.

• Will this be the final straw? It seems likely. The Dolphins had playoff aspirations this year, and while McDaniel won fans’ hearts in previous seasons, this year’s showing — one that’s been chock-full of “distractions” — simply won’t cut it.

🔥 Who else is on the hot seat?: The Arizona Cardinals’ Jonathan Gannon and the NY Giants’ Brian Daboll are the other likely pink slip candidates. The Cards are off to a disappointing 2-5 start after yesterday’s 27–23 loss to the Green Bay Packers, while Daboll’s Giants gave up a whopping 33 fourth-quarter points in a brutal 33–32 loss to the Denver Broncos. Woof.

👏 New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel builds post-firing blueprint: Being fired doesn’t have to mark the end of a coaching career though. Look no further than Vrabel, who was axed by the Tennessee Titans in January 2024 before returning to Nashville yesterday and crushing his former team 31–13. Always here for a redemption arc.
