Movie Review: Jeremy Allen White is a tortured Boss in 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere'
SUMMARY: The first authorized biopic of Bruce Springsteen's life, “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere,” delves into the making of his 1982 album “Nebraska.” Directed by Scott Cooper, the film explores Springsteen's inner turmoil during the album's creation. Jeremy Allen White portrays a tortured Springsteen pushing himself into a place he knows is not commercial. The movie highlights “Nebraska” as a raw masterpiece, filled with themes of poverty and hopelessness. It also examines Springsteen's relationships and mental health journey. The film is based on a book by Warren Zanes and is a meditation on creativity versus commerciality. It opens in theaters on Friday.

Judge says DHS social media posts in Rep. McIver prosecution are 'prejudicial' and should be removed
SUMMARY: A federal judge overseeing the Trump administration’s prosecution of U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver on charges she assaulted and impeded immigration officers outside a New Jersey detention center told the government to remove social media posts he called “prejudicial” to the congresswoman. U.S. District Judge Jamel Semper on Tuesday heard pretrial arguments in the case brought by Republican President Donald Trump’s Justice Department against the Democratic congresswoman representing Newark, the state’s biggest city. Semper didn’t issue a ruling from the bench but told the government's attorneys nine social media posts should be removed.

New Jersey Republicans ask for federal monitors in critical county ahead of governor's election
SUMMARY: New Jersey Republicans have asked the U.S. Department of Justice to send election monitors to oversee the handling of mail ballots in a county that is key to the state’s Nov. 4 governor’s race between Republican Jack Ciattarelli and Democrat Mikie Sherrill. The New Jersey Republican State Committee told the Justice Department in a letter that federal intervention is needed to ensure an accurate vote count in Passaic County. New Jersey Republicans asked for federal monitors to “oversee the receipt and processing of vote-by-mail ballots.” State officials said federal intervention would be “highly inappropriate.” A Justice Department spokesperson said the agency is reviewing the request.

Broncos' historic comeback leaves Giants reeling and reflecting on missed opportunities
SUMMARY: Denver's thrilling 33-32 comeback against the New York Giants has left both teams reflecting on their performances. Denver's offense struggled for three quarters before Bo Nix made history by running and throwing for multiple touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Despite the victory, coach Sean Payton acknowledges the team's mistakes and slow start. Meanwhile, the Giants are grappling with missed opportunities and errors, including kicker Jude McAtamney's missed extra points. Giants coach Brian Daboll isn't considering drastic changes but admits they need to improve. Denver's win marks just the second time since 1970 a team has overcome an 18-point deficit in the final six minutes.

Jets owner Woody Johnson blames 0-7 start on QB play and defends coach Aaron Glenn
SUMMARY: New York Jets owner Woody Johnson pointed to quarterback play to explain his team's 0-7 start. Speaking at the NFL's annual fall meeting, the 78-year-old expressed faith in Aaron Glenn and praised the first-year coach's handling of the defense. Johnson deferred to the staff on whether Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor should start at quarterback moving forward. The Jets are last in passing offense and are the only team in the league not to have won a game. Johnson did not answer when asked if he regretted the decision to let Aaron Rodgers leave last offseason.

A peek inside the blue medical tent that has become a fixture on NFL sidelines
SUMMARY: The blue medical tent has become synonymous with football injuries since the NFL first added it to sidelines in 2017. Fans in the stands and watching on television immediately know a player is injured when the tent gets pulled up and he goes inside with trainers. It got New York Giants coach Brian Daboll in hot water recently when he poked his head in to ask when rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart would be cleared from his concussion evaluation. That led to a league investigation into how protocol was followed.

Giants release kicker Jude McAtamney, who missed 2 extra points in their loss at Devner
SUMMARY: The New York Giants cut kicker Jude McAtamney in the aftermath of him missing two extra points in their stunning 33-32 loss at Denver. McAtamney was waived as one of a series of roster moves that also included the team bringing back rookie cornerback Korie Black.

Knicks will be without injured Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson in season opener against Cavs
SUMMARY: Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson will be sidelined by injuries when the New York Knicks open their season Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Hart injured his lower back when he slipped to the court against Philadelphia in the preseason opener and was ruled out Tuesday with lumbar spasms. Robinson is sitting out with what the Knicks said is left ankle injury management. Robinson had ankle surgery before last season and was limited to 17 games after he returned. The center eventually replaced Hart, a swingman who had been the starter, in the lineup during the Eastern Conference finals. New coach Mike Brown hasn’t said which would start.

Steelers lose special teams ace Miles Killebrew to season-ending knee injury
SUMMARY: Pittsburgh Steelers special teams captain Miles Killebrew will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. Killebrew, a two-time Pro Bowler and 2023 All-Pro, injured his knee earlier this month on what his teammates described as an unsafe turf at Acrisure Stadium. Veteran safety Jabrill Peppers filled in for Killebrew as the personal protector on punts, but Tomlin isn't ready to make it permanent. Outside of Killebrew, the Steelers are relatively healthy as they prepare for a Sunday night game against Green Bay. Wide receiver Calvin Austin III could return after missing two games with a shoulder injury.

Top-ranked Ohio State's defense shines as offense seeks consistency during bye week
SUMMARY: Ohio State's football team is taking a tailored approach during their second off weekend of the season. Coach Ryan Day says some players need rest, while others need more practice. The defense has been a standout, ranking first in points allowed and second in yards allowed. Despite losing key players, they've excelled in various defensive categories. The offense, however, is still developing. Quarterback Julian Sayin recently had a strong performance, but the running game struggled against Wisconsin. Day plans to address these issues before their next game against Penn State.
