School closures are accelerating in US, but more financial pain lies ahead
SUMMARY: Students in Vallejo, California, faced a challenging start to the school year as they adjusted to a new school after their previous one closed. Across the U.S., many students are experiencing similar disruptions as schools shut down due to declining enrollment and reduced funding. Last year, 1,156 U.S. schools closed, the highest since the pandemic, according to an analysis of federal data by Big Local News at Stanford University. Vallejo City Unified School District near San Francisco has closed five campuses since 2025. Research shows closures rarely bring financial relief, and they can drive families to charter or private schools. Vallejo's superintendent says cuts are necessary to adjust to declining enrollment.

Milton already 3rd QB to lose a game with Eagles this season. 7-game slide is longest since 2012
SUMMARY: Joe Milton was flagged for a false start on the first play of the Philadelphia Eagles’ opening series and was sacked on the final play of the game. Milton spent most of the rest of the game against the New York Giants playing exactly like a quarterback signed off the Cowboys’ practice squad just three weeks ago. Milton was about as inefficient with Philadelphia in his first start as Tanner McKee was in his three starts before being benched. McKee statistically wasn’t even much better than Jalen Hurts before his season likely ended with blood clots in his lungs. The quarterbacks change. The results, not so much.

Devils say Hellebuyck will not face his former teammates in Winnipeg, cite reduced win probability

Hold the beef. Order lamb chops. Tatum and Brown serve up drama on the menu when Celtics visit 76ers
SUMMARY: Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, once key players for the Celtics, have not spoken since Brown's trade to the 76ers in July. Brown was traded for Paul George and draft picks. Both players are focused on winning and have no plans to reconnect when their teams face off Tuesday night in Philadelphia. The trade has been successful for both teams, with the 76ers tied for the best record in the NBA. Brown and Tatum's relationship was often scrutinized, but both players have expressed respect for each other.

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni faces tough calls entering bye. Is it time to shake up coaching staff?
SUMMARY: Nick Sirianni faces tough decisions as the Philadelphia Eagles enter their bye week on a seven-game losing streak. The team might shake up the roster with the NFL's trade deadline approaching. Changes could also affect the coaching staff, especially first-year offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. The Eagles haven't gained more than 341 total yards in a game this season. Sirianni says his job is to help the team win, and he’s open to changes. The Eagles are 2-7 after losing to the Giants on Sunday. Owner Jeffrey Lurie has moved on from coaches with losing seasons before, putting pressure on Sirianni.
