Ruth ChepngetichKenya’s Ruth Chepngetich became the first woman in history to finish a marathon in under two hours and 10 minutes on Sunday. Chepngetich’s time of 2:09:56 smashed the previous record by almost two minutes as she stormed to victory in the Chicago Marathon. Stewart led all scorers with 21 points, grabbing eight rebounds and nabbing seven steals – a record for a WNBA Finals game. The running back leads the league with 704 rushing yards, nine touchdowns and has the second most yards per carry in the NFL to boot. Derrick Henry leads the NFL this season with 704 rushing yards.

Are we living through another Lamar Jackson MVP season? The Bears defense has also been phenomenal and will keep them in games even when Williams will inevitably struggle, as all rookies do. Full disclosure: One of my bold predictions entering the season was that Rattler would wind up taking Derek Carr’s job this season. The bigger concern is the Saints’ defense, which surrendered 600 yards and 50 points and allowed the Bucs to convert 6 of 10 third downs. It doesn’t matter who plays quarterback — the Saints defense has to put up some resistance.

Gaza was already impoverished, overcrowded and largely inescapable, blockaded by Israel and Egypt for 17 years. Life-threatening storm surges are due to hit the state’s Gulf Coast as Hurricane Milton is set to make landfall on Wednesday.
