When SEC programs hire head coaches, a key part of their interview process must be testing their ability to do marketing and promotion.

Few, if any, coaches excel at marketing, like LSU Tigers head coach Lane Kiffin, who has worked tirelessly to convince the broader college football public that losing games should not be punished because of SEC stadiums. Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea campaigned in 2025 by telling fans, voters and media that SEC teams should be given preferential treatment over all other conferences if they have the same records.

Then there's Steve Sarkisian.

SUDDENLY, STEVE SARKISIAN IS SINGING A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TUNE ABOUT PLAYING OHIO STATE

The Texas Longhorns head coach said in 2025 that excluding his 9-3 team from the College Football Playoff would be a "disservice to the sport." A disservice! College football would forever be lesser if a 9-3 Texas team was not included, despite several awful performances against a bad Florida team, a bad Mississippi State team, a bad Kentucky team, and getting blown out by Georgia.

Sark complained about the result of the 2025 matchup between the Longhorns and Ohio State Buckeyes hurt his team's resume, saying that even in a 14-7 loss, Texas shouldn't be punished for scheduling a tough opponent. There's some truth to that, sure, but after their miraculous comeback in this year's game, he had a totally different perspective.

"We could be like other teams and play Jones Junior High and win 66-0," he said to reporters after beating OSU. "I don’t know what that does for us. Tonight we found out that we can (win big games)."

When they lose, the result shouldn't matter. When they win, it's a huge boost to their resume compared to teams that played lesser opponents. Shocking.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL FANS AND MEDIA RIP SEC REFS OVER CONTROVERSIAL FORWARD FUMBLE CALL IN TEXAS-MISSOURI GAME

Well, Sark is back, and this time, the marketing effort is to convince those watching that the Longhorns are actually humble little "nobody believes in us" underdogs. Against Missouri.

"I'm really proud of our football team overall because our guys, they're not naive to noise. As much as I would love to say, tune it all out — and we try our best to do that — I could hear the talk getting on the plane yesterday. I could hear the talk when we got here," he said after their 34-20 win. "Nobody believed we'd win the game. Nobody thought we were going to come here and win the game. Nobody thought we were we were tough enough at the line of scrimmage. Everyone thought we'd be pushed around."

He continued, saying that the "DNA" of Texas is "toughness," which showed through against the Tigers.

"The DNA of this organization is mental and physical toughness, and I think that poured out of our pores today in this ball game today, and so I'm very proud of them for that. I'm very proud of the way they hung together, the way they responded to adversity," Sarkisian said.

And finally, claimed that the win showed they're "big game hunters."

"We are big game hunters, and we showed up again today," he added.

Sure! It was a good win for Texas, on the road against a solid, top-25 level opponent. They did face some "adversity," mainly falling behind after a shaky first quarter, then fighting their way back. But acting as though Texas, literally Texas, with arguably the most expensive roster in the sport, or at worst, top 2-3, is a "nobody believed in us" team is ridiculous. Beyond ridiculous.

Texas also had some help, well, a lot of help from the officials. A number of questionable calls went against the Tigers, including what appeared to be a completed pass on a big third down deep in Texas territory, and what seemed like a clear incomplete pass from Arch Manning on 3rd-and-10 being ruled a fumble that gave the Longhorns a 12-yard gain and a first down. Sure enough, that drive resulted in a touchdown and what wound up being 21 unanswered points.

That's not to say officiating was the reason Texas won, but it sure didn't hurt. Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz implied as much after the game, when asked about the number of calls that went against his team.

"If I say what I want to say, I'm going to get fined until I don't have any retirement, and I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to blame the officials. That would be disrespectful to Coach Sarkisian and his team," he said, according to On3.

Even the announcing team, including Jesse Palmer, were flabbergasted at the officiating.

"If you're a Missouri fan, if you're Eli Drinkwitz, you are livid because it does feel like a lot of these calls are going against Missouri today," he said.

Again, this isn't to say Texas didn't deserve to win, they outplayed Missouri on the field and were the better team. It's the attitude that Sarkisian brings, that they were just humble underdogs clinging to a win against the big, bad Missouri Tigers that's the marketing campaign.

By acting as though every win his team gets is a monumental achievement, it builds the case that should Texas trip up against, say, a struggling LSU or on the road against a bad Texas A&M team, they can't be punished for it. It's marketing. It's classic SEC. And it's ridiculous.

J.J. McCarthy had two basic issues during his time with the Minnesota Vikings: Ability. And durability.

Since his trade to the New York Giants, McCarthy has shown no ability problems because he beat out Jameis Winston as the team's starter and even provided something of a spark in helping New York beat the Houston Texans in overtime.

So no ability issue.

But Sunday presented a durability issue.

McCarthy left the game against the Philadelphia Eagles with what the team is saying is a hip injury.

So, back to Jameis Winston for the Giants.

Winston entered the game on the Giants’ first possession of the third quarter after McCarthy took a shot from Eagles linebacker Zack Baun. McCarthy gingerly got himself to the New York sideline and took a knee.

McCarthy tried to throw a warmup pass after collecting himself and could be seen writhing in pain during the follow-through.

OutKick and FOX News Digital medical expert said the tape of the play suggests an oblique muscle injury. The Giants say McCarthy is questionable to return. .

McCarthy completed 9 of 13 passes for 101 yards before he departed. He was sacked five times in the first half.

He returned to the sideline and was seen encouraging his teammates as if he intended to return to the game. 

Despite what appeared to be too much pain to function, McCarthy returned to the game in the fourth quarter. It is possible he agreed to take a shot to deaden the pain and return.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says there has been no progress in talks with the US.

With his team rampant in their demolition of Australia, the head coach’s work seems to be paying dividends

So this is what they have been building behind Twickenham’s big black gates. After all these weeks in which England have seemed to always be a work in progress, Steve Borthwick finally wheeled out something that felt like a finished version of his team. No excuses, no apologies, no explanations, no talk about how young and inexperienced they are, no assurances that they are going to take the learnings. It was enthralling for their supporters and an ugly, bloody sight for the rest of the world. They were arrogant, imposing, and excellent. For everyone else, you guess, they are going to be hard to like and hell to play against.

It was a record victory, and a blue‑riband result against an Australian team who only recently beat the Springboks, and who are surely a lot better than England allowed them to be here. And if there were still plenty of little errors in the first 40 minutes – a couple of silly scrum penalties, a couple of shonky lineout throws to straighten up – it still added up to one of England’s better games since Borthwick took over as head coach; their best, for sure, since they beat New Zealand here this time last year. Heck, Borthwick even managed to crack a smile when it was all over.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Richard Walters, a longtime ally of outgoing White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, is leaving the Trump administration following President Donald Trump's decision to replace Wiles with Stephen Miller.

Miller confirmed Walters' departure in a statement to Fox News, describing him as an "invaluable member" of the White House who will continue to assist the administration from the outside.

TRUMP NAMES STEPHEN MILLER NEW WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF, REPLACING SUSIE WILES

"Richard has been an invaluable member of the White House and has helped deliver some of the Administration’s biggest victories. While he will be leaving us, Richard will continue to help from the outside as we continue to work with all of our strength to deliver for President Trump and his courageous fight to Save America," Miller said.

The departure marks another major staffing shakeup as Trump moves to reshape his team following the midterm election results. Miller is expected to install his own leadership team when he takes over Monday.

Miller's wife, Katie, on Sunday also announced that she would stop recording new episodes of her show, The Katie Miller Podcast, where she interviews political figures, athletes and other public personalities.

She said the decision was based on what was best for her children and family as her husband's new role brings a shift in priorities.

"With @StephenM taking on this new role for President Trump, I’ve decided to stop recording new podcast episodes," Katie said in a post on X. 

"Nothing is more important than raising our four kids. While I’ve loved the podcast, the time commitment is too great and now is the time to step away. I’ll be cheering President Trump and his team on from outside the administration," she added.

Katie Miller said the podcast will release two more episodes that were recorded before her decision.

BUENOS AIRES, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Pope Leo arrived in Argentina from Uruguay on Sunday for the second leg of a 12-day tour across South America, ahead of a closely watched speech to Argentine President Javier Milei, a libertarian seen as a close ally of US ‌President Donald Trump.

The address by the first US-born pope may underscore tensions between the Vatican and Milei, whose austerity agenda has been criticized by the Church ‌for hitting the poorest hardest. The Argentine leader has also strongly supported the Iran war, which Leo has denounced to Trump's ire.

Leo was greeted at Buenos Aires' Jorge Newbery airport under clear skies by Milei and ​a military band lining a red carpet as the pope descended from the plane. The president and pope shared a long, amicable handshake in a warm first public interaction.

Leo also greeted Karina Milei, the president's sister, before accepting flowers from a group of children gathered on the tarmac.

Crowds thronged the route to downtown Buenos Aires, waving small Vatican and Argentine flags, while Catholic nuns in tan-colored religious habits chanted: "The pope is here, you can feel it."

Thousands also gathered at Plaza San Martín, the pope's next stop.

"It's been almost 40 years, 39 exactly, that the pope ‌hasn't come to Argentina," said Claudia Sona, who traveled from ⁠the northern province of Salta. "For Catholics, and I think for non-Catholics, this is a rebirth."

The 71-year-old pontiff, who is making one of the most intense foreign trips by a Catholic leader in decades, less than a month after undergoing lung cancer surgery, is the first pope ⁠to visit Argentina since John Paul II in 1987 and will tour four cities through Wednesday.

Leo, on his three-country tour running through November 17, at his final public event in Uruguay earlier on Sunday urged political leaders there to work to benefit the whole country, not a select few.

POPE'S SPEECH WILL BE CAREFULLY PARSED

Milei swept to power in 2023 after a run of center-left Peronist ​rule, ​campaigning with a chainsaw as a symbol of the deep cuts to state spending he pledged to ​make to shore up the country's finances.

Leo, who addresses national governments ‌on each of his foreign visits, usually speaks in careful, diplomatic language, but has emerged as a more forceful voice on the world stage recently, decrying the direction of global leadership.

He is not expected to directly criticize Milei by name but may refer to national policies or international events in remarks that will be carefully parsed by political observers.

"Any interventions by Leo, particularly on poverty, the limits of markets or confrontational political rhetoric, could be read as implicit criticism of Milei and amplify existing opposition to the government's approach," said Nicolas Watson, a managing director at advisory firm Teneo.

Milei has defended his austerity as the only way to bring inflation under control. Under his economic campaign, annual inflation has fallen ‌from over 200% to 33%.

But surveys show his popularity has slipped ahead of elections next year ​as Argentines contend with subsidy cuts, public-sector layoffs and business closures linked to squeezed household budgets.

POPE TO VISIT ​PRISON, DISABILITY CARE CENTER

Over his 18-month papacy, Leo has forcefully warned about the ​risks of artificial intelligence, urged world leaders to treat immigrants more humanely, and called for action to address climate change, appeals that have ‌put him at odds with Trump and other right-wing leaders.

Fortunato Mallimaci, a ​sociologist at Argentina's Conicet research agency, said ​Leo's visit to Argentina will create a sense of unity and energy among those who feel excluded by Milei's economic program.

The pope's itinerary in Argentina includes visits to a care center for people with disabilities and a prison, underscoring his focus on highlighting groups that are often marginalized.

Milei was known for piling insults on ​Leo's predecessor, Francis, an Argentine who never came home during his ‌12-year papacy. Despite calling Francis "an imbecile," Milei eventually sought to repair relations and visited Francis at the Vatican.

"Milei doesn't win anything by fighting with (Leo)," said ​Veronica Gimenez Beliveau, a sociologist at the University of Buenos Aires.
