Few days throughout the NBA calendar are as special as day one. There is no dread of a lost season or any regret of games that got away. There is only excitement and hope, which are amplified when you experience game one in person. I have been going to games my whole life, as my dad has had season tickets for the Dallas Mavericks since 1984. I am fortunate to have experienced so much, but inherently the volume of games I have been to takes away from the allure of any single one. Despite this, the first game I go to every year is always a special feeling, and having it be the first game of the Mavericks’ season this year, I wanted to document the experience to look back on.
Before even walking in, the buzz around the stadium was clear. They rolled out the blue carpet and player cutouts on Victory Plaza, and there was not a road within two miles not being traversed by fans. The lines to get in were long well before tip and the excitement was palpable. Once you got inside, the colors and smells of the concession stands helped bring about a sense of deja vu. Public address announcer Sean Heath’s voice crept through the hallways leading to the seats like your mother calling you down for dinner. In an ever-changing world, so much of American Airlines Center was the same, which gives the returning fan a sense of home.
Seeing the players warm up is always a treat, as you gain a new appreciation for just how big they are. This was especially true on Thursday night when Victor Wembanyama towered over 20-plus NBA athletes. He truly felt larger than life. The lights went down and the National Anthem was sung and the lights came back on for a minute while the Spurs’ starting lineup was announced. The arena went dark again, and the Mavericks were ready to be recognized for the first time this year. The announcement of the players was goosebump-inducing. From the confusion of Brandon Williams’ name coming first to the roar for Klay Thompson to the ambiance of Eminence Front by The Who playing during the pregame video (which has been their hype song for as long as I can remember), there was not an aspect of the before-game antics that did not increase your readiness for the game. The only thing left before tipoff was Heath telling the fans to be “rowdy, loud, and proud” from “the opening tip to the final buzzer”. He said his peace and the game was underway.
The tradition (originating from something the Thunder do) of standing until Dallas scores continued, and the fans were able to sit down when Daniel Gafford threw in a hook shot for their first points of 2024-25. The verbal relief of sitting down paled in comparison to the cheer of the next made basket when Klay Thompson’s first field goal as a Maverick went around, up, and down just over a minute later. The rest of the first half was fairly uneventful as Dallas shot poorly and trailed by two. After waiting out the halftime bathroom lines, it was time to get seated for the second half.
The third quarter was far more reminiscent of last year’s team. Every Luka Doncic three felt familiar and exciting, and when Dereck Lively dunked the arena felt the vibrations. Their 40-point third-quarter outburst had the crowd rocking like a playoff game. The fourth quarter had a nervous anxiety to it after Dallas went up by 21 points and Jason Kidd left Luka Doncic and Lively in the game. Many people stayed to the end to hear Heath end the night with his signature “Mavs win! Mavs win!”. As the exits were flooded with happy Mavericks supporters, the drum line could be heard echoing through the concourse. It was a great feeling to be back and an even better one with a Mavericks win.
FRISCO, Texas — When you fall to 0-3 at home, winless in the last four games when also considering the playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers in January, there’s no spinning the facts into a pillow that allows for a soft landing after being shoved from the rooftop by the reality of the situation, and that reality says the Dallas Cowboys are currently broken at AT&T Stadium.
Can they fix it? Sure, considering they were the best in the entire NFL on their home field prior to the aforementioned loss in January, and getting back to that level of play will headline their self-reflection going into the bye week.
When asked about the current state of affairs, owner and general manager Jerry Jones was candid.
“OK, that was a long day, thanks to Detroit, and thanks to a lot of things you can criticize about what we were doing out there today,” said Jones. “That can’t be [us]. That can’t be. We’re not — we’ve got to assess.”
But even Jones is admitting the fix isn’t a magical one that will suddenly appear over the next two weeks before they step onto the field at Levi’s Stadium, the biggest positive in that equation to come is that the game is on the road, where the Cowboys are undefeated but, as everyone well knows, it’s also against a 49ers team that has been the bane of Dallas’ existence recently.
And the schedule doesn’t exactly turn down after that.
“We’ve certainly got a bye week, but there’s nothing magic about a bye week,” Jones said. “You can do some things differently [as far as] some of the things that bit us out there today. This was very concerning and it was very humbling and it was very — I felt bad because of all of our great fans, especially the ones in the stadium and certainly the ones that are all about the Cowboys.
“So we’ve got a lot of work to do.”
Sitting at a .500 record due to three home losses is something no one could’ve rightfully predicted, but it’s where the Cowboys are in mid-October. Their next matchup at home will be the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 10, a division clash that could help determine several scenarios as the season rolls into December.
“We all know you should feel better at home,” said Jones, befuddled. “I think that is an advantage. You don’t travel. You sleep in your own bed. It should be an advantage at home and that’s one of the first things you look at.
“How come we’re not playing better when we’ve got the advantage against the other team? You get to wake up in the morning and in familiar territory. All that’s stuff to think about. But, generally speaking, I think my message is, I know you don’t need to hear me say this, but I’m well aware that we’re in the proverbial sh-tter right now.”
That, however, doesn’t mean Jones is looking to push head coach Mike McCarthy out of the door, as he made clear after the loss to the Lions.
“I’m not considering that hypothetical,” said Jones. “I’m not going to be hypothetical inI considering a coaching change, and I’m not at all.”
With that predictable speculation seemingly put to bed, the Cowboys are forced to stare in the mirror over the next several days and decide who they are and what they want to be defined as when the 2024 season is all said-and-done.
Because, right now, there is a disconnect between those two things.
METAIRIE, La. (AP) — New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler is scheduled to take his first regular-season NFL snaps on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
A former Phoenix Pinnacle High star, Rattler joins San Francisco 49ers’ Brock Purdy of Gilbert Perry High as the NFL’s only two starting quarterbacks to play high school ball in Arizona.
At Pinnacle, Rattler was rated by 247 Sports as the best pro-style quarterback and a top-10 overall prospect in the 2019 class, initially signing with Oklahoma before transferring to South Carolina.
Saints coach Dennis Allen selected Rattler as this week’s starter on Wednesday after confirming that usual starter Derek Carr will miss at least one game because of a left oblique injury that occurred in the fourth quarter of New Orleans’ 26-13 loss in Kansas City on Monday night.
“We just internally talked a lot about it and felt like in this particular game he was going to give us the best chance to win,” Allen said. “He’s a rookie. So, we’re going to have some challenges that go along with that. But I think we’ll have a good plan for him.”
The decision means that — for now — the 24-year-old Rattler moves ahead of second-year pro Jake Haener on the depth chart.
Haener, 25, replaced Carr after his injury in Kansas City and also played late in a pair of lopsided victories to start the season. He’s attempted just eight passes during his chances to play this season, completing two for 17 yards. He has not been intercepted and has not thrown for a touchdown.
Allen noted that Rattler had shown promise while serving as the scout team QB during the first five weeks of the season.
“He’s made some really good plays against our defense,” Allen said. “He’s made some accurate throws and his mobility’s been good.”
Rattler, 24, was selected by the Saints in the fifth round of last spring’s NFL draft out of South Carolina, where he started for two seasons after transferring from Oklahoma.
During his final college season in 2023, he started 12 games, passing for 3,186 yards and 19 touchdowns.
Allen said Rattler should not worry about being subbed out quickly if he struggles to perform during New Orleans’ first few possessions.
“You’ve got to let the guy go in there and play,” Allen said. “We’re not going into this game saying that, you know, ‘If you make a mistake, we’re going to pull you.’”
Meanwhile, Rattler’s center will be newly acquired, eight-year veteran Conner McGovern, who made his debut with the club on Monday night.
He was acquired as Shane Lemieux (ankle) became the second Saints center this season to go on injured reserve, joining usual starter Erik McCoy (groin).
McGovern’s first time snapping the ball to Rattler was during a light walkthrough the Saints held on Wednesday.
“He was dialed in,” McGovern said. “You could tell he was playing with a lot of confidence. His huddle presence was really professional.
“That’s what I always look for in a quarterback,” McGovern added. “You need that swagger, that confidence, to play quarterback and he was playing with it today.”
The Saints (2-3), who’ve lost three straight, are about to play two games in the span of five days. After Sunday’s matchup with the Bucs, Denver visits the following Thursday night. The compressed timeline increases the likelihood that Carr could miss more than one game.
Allen stressed that while Rattler is now preparing to start, “It’s really basically going to be kind of a week-to-week deal.”
“We’ll worry about this week right now and see where we’re at after that,” Allen said.
DANCING WITH THE STARS – “Episode 3302″ – Oscars® Night” Hollywood glitz meets ballroom glamour … [+] when all 13 couples grace the stage with dazzling performances, dancing to iconic songs from Oscar®-nominated films.

Disney
Dancing with the Stars returned with a new episode on Monday, October 7, following last week’s hiatus. The episode’s theme was Soul Train night, and the 11 remaining couples danced to classics from “Dancing Machine” by Jackson 5 to “Think” by Aretha Franklin.
Tori Spelling and Pasha Pashkov, along with Anna Delvey and Ezra Sosa, were the first pairs to be eliminated from the competition in Week 3. Delvey faced criticism after she stated on live television that she would take away “nothing” from her time on the show.
Longtime judge Carrie Ann Inaba told Entertainment Weekly that she was taken aback by Delvey’s comment. “That was dismissive not only of the opportunity she was given, of her wonderful and supportive partner Ezra in his debut season, but also of all of us who work on the show-from the dancers to behind the scenes to the creative team,” she said.

With Delvey no longer in the mix, Dancing With the Stars returned on Monday with less drama but plenty of steamy romance—particularly between model Brooks Nader and her pro partner Gleb Savchenko, who were photographed kissing in Beverly Hills last week.
Soul Train night kicked off with an opening number to “T.S.O.P (The Sound of Philadelphia)” by MFSB featuring The Three Degrees, choreographed by Luam, and featuring guest dancer and “Soul Train” alum Popin’ Pete of The Electric Boogaloos. Rosie Perez, who got her start as a dancer on “Soul Train,” was a special guest judge.

Score: 23 (6, 6, 5, 6)
Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach performed a cha cha to “Let’s Groove” by Earth, Wind & Fire.

MILWAUKEE — New York Mets star Pete Alonso’s three-run, ninth-inning blast off Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams on Thursday night ended a slump for the free agent-to-be while helping send his team to the National League Division Series, where they’ll meet the Philadelphia Phillies.
With his team down 2-0, Alonso hit a 3-1 changeup out to right, stunning the home crowd at American Family Field as the Mets won a wild first-round series, two games to one over the Brewers.
“I was just looking for something out over the plate,” Alonso said after the 4-2 win, in which Jesse Winker scored an insurance run. “I just really wanted to hit something hard through the big part of the field. I’m really happy that I capitalized, really happy that I capitalized.
“It’s a really special moment.”
Alonso was 1-for-11 in the series before his big home run, including hitting into a double play after tripping on his bat as he ran toward first base in Game 2. But he shook that all off, choosing to move on to the next play instead of dwelling on his struggles. He became the first major league player to hit a go-ahead homer while trailing in the ninth inning or later of a winner-take-all postseason game, according to ESPN Research.
A walk by Francisco Lindor followed one out later by a single off the bat of Brandon Nimmo set the stage for Alonso. He didn’t miss his pitch.
“Especially in these big games, you’ve got to move on to the next pitch and make a positive impact, stay within yourself and execute,” Alonso said.
Teammate J.D. Martinez added: “Everyone kind of felt he was due. It’s a big monkey off his back. To pick us up was huge. … He did a great job of not doing too much. It was one of those swings, just point A to point B.”
The blast came not long after the Brewers scored the first runs of the game in the bottom of the seventh, on home runs from pinch hitter Jake Bauers and right fielder Sal Frelick. They came on back-to-back pitches, sending Brewers fans into a frenzy.
It didn’t last long.
The back-and-forth nature of the game mirrored that of the entire series. According to ESPN Research, over the past five postseasons, teams are 39-2 when leading entering the eighth inning with a chance to clinch a playoff series. The two losses came Wednesday (the Mets) and Thursday (the Brewers) as each team blew leads.
“It was such a great series,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. “I’m so proud of this team.”
Alonso’s heroics came after a masterful performance from Mets starter Jose Quintana, who pitched six shutout innings. He and Brewers rookie Tobias Myers matched each other pitch-for-pitch, neither giving up runs while in the game.
“Tobias was putting up zeros so I knew I needed to,” Quintana said while drenched in champagne from the Mets’ celebration. “Then Pete did his thing at the right time. I’m so proud of him.”
Alonso will be a free agent after the season, which was extended at least three more games. He has played in all 165 that the Mets have competed in this year, hitting 34 home runs during the regular season and now one big one in the postseason.
Despite the daily availability, Alonso didn’t have his best year at the plate, as his OPS dropped to a career-low .788. He’ll still be sought after come November.
Meanwhile, Mets owner Steve Cohen watched anxiously on a television in the clubhouse in the ninth inning as his first baseman took Williams deep, hearing the crowd before seeing the home run.
“It was on delay,” Cohen said with a laugh. “But man he came through. So proud of him.”
Cohen said similar about his team, which played a regular-season doubleheader Monday just to get into the postseason, then won Game 1 in Milwaukee on Tuesday before losing Wednesday and then finally winning the series Thursday.
How about that finish! Hollywood couldn’t write a better script . So proud of this team. Onward to Philly
“It feels like we’ve been on the road for a month,” Martinez joked.
The Mets will continue that journey, playing Games 1 and 2 of the best-of-five division series in Philadelphia on Saturday and Sunday.
New York went 6-7 against the Phillies during the regular season and finished six games behind them in the division standings. According to ESPN Research, the 1,081 all-time meetings between the teams are the most between any two franchises without a playoff matchup since 1962.
The matchup never materializes without Alonso’s home run.
“We have each other’s backs in here,” he said. “Tonight was my turn. Tomorrow will be someone else’s.”
NEW YORK — Giancarlo Stanton hit a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning amid a battle of the bullpens, and the New York Yankees beat the Kansas City Royals 3-2 on Wednesday night in Game 3 of their AL Division Series at Kauffman Stadium.
Stanton finished with three hits, drove in two runs and stole a base for the first time in four years for the Yankees, who will turn to six-time All-Star pitcher Gerrit Cole on Thursday night with a chance to reach the American League Championship Series.
The Royals used four relievers before Kris Bubic took over for the eighth. The left-hander struck out Austin Wells before Stanton hit his 3-1 pitch nearly 420 feet to left to give New York the lead.
The Royals tried to answer off Luke Weaver in the bottom half, getting Bobby Witt Jr.’s first hit of the series and a two-out single by franchise stalwart Salvador Perez. Weaver recovered to get Yuli Gurriel to fly out to end the threat, and he also handled the ninth to earn the save and cap 4 1/3 scoreless innings by the New York bullpen.
The Yankees won despite another frustrating night in the postseason for MVP front-runner Aaron Judge. He went 0 for 4 with a walk, and is now 1 for 11 with only an infield single through three games against the Royals.
It helped that the powerful Yankees drew nine walks Wednesday night, giving them 22 for the series.
It was the first playoff game at the K in 3,268 days, since the Royals beat the Mets in Game 2 of the 2015 World Series. They won their first title in 30 years a few days later in New York.
The first baseman on that Royals team, Eric Hosmer, was on hand to deliver the first pitch for a crowd that included Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The Yankees had some good swings against Seth Lugo’s dizzying array of nine pitches, but they had nothing to show for it early on.
Juan Soto flew out to center in the first on what would have been a homer in 17 ballparks. Judge followed with a liner snared by Witt at shortstop that had an exit velocity of 114 mph. And in the third, Gleyber Torres hit a ball to the warning track in right, moments after a review confirmed that his would-be RBI blooper down the line had landed foul.
The Yankees broke through in the fourth on Stanton’s double – Soto came around from first to score, though he might well have been out had Witt delivered a better relay throw to the plate. And in the fifth, Soto added a bases-loaded sacrifice fly.
The Royals answered with two in the fifth. Kyle Isbel got them on the board with a two-out double to left, and Michael Massey ripped a sinking liner that somehow missed Soto’s glove in right for an RBI triple.
Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt was dinged for both runs on four hits and a walk in 4 2/3 innings. Lugo went five for Kansas City, allowing two hits and walking four against the team that led the league in free passes this season.
UP NEXT
Yankees: Cole (8-5, 3.41 ERA) heads back to the mound Thursday night. He allowed four runs – three earned – over five innings in the opener Saturday night but got no decision in the 6-5 win for New York.
Royals: RHP Michael Wacha (13-8, 3.35 ERA) will face Cole again after pitching just four innings Saturday. He allowed three runs but was long gone by the time the Yankees scored the go-ahead run in the seventh.

Disney+ has not yet announced a release date for Deadpool & Wolverine. However, based on previous Marvel theater-to-streaming timelines, the film is expected to arrive on Disney+ around three months after its theatrical release, or likely sometime after October 2024.
Marvel tends to release films on Disney+ more quickly if they underperform at the box office. For example, the 2023 flop The Marvels premiered in theaters in November 2023 and was available on Disney+ in under three months.
Meanwhile, last year’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 had 60-day exclusive theatrical release windows. Each arrived on Disney+ exactly three months after their theatrical debuts.

Before watching Deadpool and Wolverine, you can catch up on earlier films from the Deadpool and X-Men franchises. Here’s a guide on where to stream all the movies in chronological order.
Where To Watch The Watch The X-Men And Deadpool Movies In Chronological Order
Watch the official trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine below.
When Falcons punter Bradly Pinion came onto the field after the offense’s first drive stalled at the Saints’ 46-yard line, it appeared the eight-play, 24-yard drive would result in zero points. Instead, Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed dropped the punt after calling for a fair catch inside the 5-yard line. It rolled into the end zone, where Falcons wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge jumped on it for a special teams touchdown.
NOTE: That was the Falcons’ first muffed punt returned for a touchdown since at least 2000, per TruMedia.
Atlanta had been moving the ball during its opening offensive possession, but a facemask penalty on left guard Matthew Bergeron put the Falcons 15 yards back on a second down that they weren’t able to make back.
The Saints’ offense answered with a touchdown of its own when tight end Taysom Hill scored on a 2-yard run. It capped off a nine-play, 70-yard drive that saw the Saints run the ball effectively against the Falcons. That was clear in two 13-yard rushes, one from Shaheed and another from running back Alvin Kamara.
The Falcons, meanwhile, struggled early to get the ground game rolling in comparison. After an offensive drive apiece, the difference between the two team’s success rate was obvious. Only Falcons running back Bijan Robinson had run the ball, with two carries for 2 yards, whereas the Saints had three players combine for six carries for 41 yards. This wasn’t a sustainable way for Atlanta’s offense to operate.
Neither was turning the ball over, which it did on the next series. This is a continued issue for the Falcons in 2024.
On the fifth play of the Falcons’ second drive, Cousins attempted a second-and-3 pass to wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III. McCloud fell on his route, and Saints cornerback Paulson Adebo was there to pick off the pass.
New Orleans took over at its own 47-yard line and was at Atlanta’s 15-yard line when the quarter concluded. The Saints converted a fourth-and-1 on a 7-yard run by Hill in the process of getting there. New Orleans closed out the first period with 59 rushing yards on 11 carries compared to the Falcons’ 9 yards on three. The score was tied, but the Saints were moving the ball at a much better clip on offense.
Falcons: KhaDarel Hodge muffed punt recovery … 7-0, ATL
Saints: Taysom Hill 2-yard run; PAT good … 7-7, ALL

The Ravens jumped out to an early lead in Dallas, scoring touchdowns on their first two drives. After the offense cooled a bit, Henry got it going on the Ravens’ final drive of the first half with back-to-back 12- and 13-yard runs. Then Baltimore hit Dallas with back-to-back running back screens, with Justice Hill taking his for 13 yards and Henry weaving through Dallas’ defense for 23.
The Ravens led by 15 at halftime, and the run attack didn’t stop in the second half. On the first drive of the third quarter, Henry pounded Dallas on a 29-yard rumble. Then, after Jackson gashed them with his legs, Henry rumbled in for his second touchdown of the day.
Fullback Patrick Ricard thought he might’ve broken his nose on that play when his facemask crashed in. The fullback wore a bandage over the bridge of his nose after the game. Asked what it’s like blocking for Henry, Ricard said, “It’s a dream.”
“He’s such a beast,” Ricard said. “It fuels me to really make sure I hit my guy and move him so he can get a little space to hit the hole full speed. When he’s full steam ahead, it’s really hard to bring him down.”
After their identity was questioned all week, Sunday’s game in Dallas was a statement for Baltimore that it can run on anybody, even with this new offensive line. Jackson, Henry and Harbaugh all gave the props, including right guard Daniel Faalele their props.
Henry spent extra time this week after practice going over run fits with his offensive linemen. It paid off.
“We got rolling, but like Lamar said, we feel like we could have done more, and there’s still more out there for us and still so much more in store,” Henry said. “We’ve just got to stay locked in, keep working, [and] keep making each other [better] each and every day.”
