不是纽约人

市民痛批曼达尼将被ICE枪击的非法移民帮派成员描述为“纽约人”

在非法移民奥斯卡·贝尔加尔在布朗克斯被美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）警员枪击后，市长曼达尼称其为“一名纽约人”。一名在城市残酷街道上失去儿子的母亲对此反应愤怒。“我不认为他是纽约人，”布朗克斯的母亲米格达莉亚·马丁内斯愤怒地表示，“我对[贝尔加尔]唯一的看法就是他是垃圾，除了垃圾什么都不是。而且我不认为我的家——纽约，是垃圾，”她在周五告诉《邮报》。

达斯·维达光剑拍卖

达斯·维达在《帝国反击战》中使用的标志性红色光剑道具计划于下个月在纽约市的遗产拍卖行进行拍卖。

在1980年的《星球大战》续集中，这位西斯领主使用这把深红色的激光剑（见上图）砍断了卢克·天行者的手，随后不久说出了那句永恒的台词：“我是你的父亲。”

巧合的是，反抗军领袖的手——以及其中抓着的蓝色光剑——已在7月以$3.7500 万的价格被拍卖，创下了《星球大战》道具的最高成交价。

据美联社报道，拍卖行预测，这把同样在《绝地归来》中使用的安纳金的“截肢工具”，在11月12, 竞价战开始时，成交价将超过100万美元。

拍卖行将该道具描述为“电影史上两次最具影响力的对抗中幸存下来的非凡文物”。

杜克大学数学专业毕业生年薪达30万美元，简直是“算”得太准了

作者：NATALIE O'NEILL

他们的钱多到数不过来！

最新数据显示，美国薪资最高的学位是杜克大学的数学专业——毕业生的中位数年收入达到了惊人的近 $300,000, 新数据表明。

根据联邦收入数据，这些“数字专家”在 2018 或 2019, 年从这所名校毕业四年后，拿到了最高额的薪水——年薪 $297,029。

美国教育部 College Scorecard 网站的数据显示，卡内基梅隆大学的计算机科学专业毕业生收入位居第二，中位数年收入为 $268,121, 该数据揭示。

薪资排名第三的是卡内基梅隆大学的电气、电子与通信工程专业，毕业生在毕业仅四年后的收入为 $250,168。

宾夕法尼亚大学的计算机与科学专业排名第四，收入为 $241,380.

教师和学生在接受《纽约时报》采访时表示，杜克大学数学专业之所以成功，原因之一是他们通常在数字和公式之外还有其他兴趣。

“我不认识任何一个只做数学的数学专业学生，”

2019 年毕业并在沙特阿拉伯初创公司工作的 Faisal Alsaadi 说道。

他表示自己主修了数学和经济学的双学位。

不止于金钱

“我喜欢能够训练年轻人进行数学思考，然后让他们将这种思考应用到世界的每一个角落，”杜克大学教授 Ezra Miller 表示。

Miller 提到，三名最近获得国际数学竞赛冠军的在读双学位本科生，通过构建模型来最大化足球队的表现。

他补充道，虽然数学专业学生经常能获得高薪的好工作，但这并不总是他们的动力。

“它同样吸引那些对美与真理感兴趣的人，”Miller 说道。

然而，杜克大学数学教授 Greg Herschlag 指出，薪水并不是衡量毕业生成功的最佳方式。

“我更希望大学和系所被评判的标准不仅仅是其毕业生个人发展得如何，而是他们为他人创造了多少价值；他们对社会贡献了多少，谁从这些劳动中受益，以及这些工作是否改善了人们的生活，”他说道。

一名涉嫌帮派成员且非法入境该国的人周四在布朗克斯被美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）特工枪击受伤。

而从纽约政客们的反应来看——那些新闻发布会以及长得像《战争与和平》一样冗长的愤怒推文——人们会以为 ICE 把一个正在给邻居孩子分发原味 the Werther's 糖果的慈祥奶奶射成了筛子。

所有那些惯犯们条件反射般地抓起麦克风，以奥斯卡·贝尔加尔（Oscar Belgal）的名义呼吁“废除 ”。据报道，贝尔加尔在加速冲向 特工之前，曾驾驶车辆撞毁了一道车辆路障。

贝尔加尔 5 岁的儿子当时就在车内，幸好未受伤，但这绝不能归功于他那个差劲的父亲。

尽管如此，愤怒的曼达尼（Mamdani）市长仍与总检察长 Tish James 以及公共倡导者 Jumaane Williams 并肩而立，向 宣战。在谈到这家联邦执法机构时，他说：“他们所做的就是恐吓这座城市。”

等我们的市长听说那些非法帮派成员在做什么的时候再说吧。

错位的愤怒

即将就任国会议员的达里亚利扎·阿维拉·切瓦利埃（Darializa Avila Chevalier）加入了现场的抗议者。

她利用这次枪击事件要求纽约市警察局局长杰西卡·蒂施（Jessica Tisch）辞职，因为蒂施竟然有胆量去阅读“我们的邻居过去与警方的互动记录”——也就是说，他的冗长犯罪记录——而不是谴责这次枪击。

没错，她真的称他为“我们的邻居”。如果罗杰斯先生（Mr. Rogers）在场，他会是第一个报警举报这个恶棍的人。

当无辜公民被非法移民、有长期犯罪记录的罪犯以及精神病罪犯伤害或杀害时，这种能量和愤怒在哪里？

他们根本不在乎。曼达尼的同情心仅留给赖克岛（Rikers）的囚犯和非法外籍人士。

因为如果他们对无辜者的关注能像对非法移民那样多，他们将被迫承认，正是他们自己的“避难所”政策和对犯罪的软弱态度，导致了大部分的死亡与混乱。

问问蒂施·詹姆斯（Tish James）就知道了，她在 X 上写道，关于贝尔加尔，她“今晚将受害者及其家人放在我的祈祷之中”。

进步？

周四晚上，共和党总检察长候选人萨里塔·科马蒂雷迪（Saritha Komatireddy）在辩论中将詹姆斯击得体无完肤。

詹姆斯指责科马蒂雷迪想要进入地铁并“清除那些在精神疾病中挣扎的人”，并补充说这是在“让进步的时钟倒转”。

詹姆斯及其同伙所谓的“进步”，就是让精神病疯子——其中许多人有犯罪记录——在地铁里游荡。

每天早晨，当我走在地铁站台上，跨过两三个昏迷的瘾君子时，我都在见证詹姆斯的“进步”。

如果他们中有人从沉睡中醒来并袭击一名通勤者，我敢打赌，我们的政客们不会对此事投入哪怕一秒钟的关注。

毕竟，这些人是他们的“邻居”。

边境危机

“垃圾”：当地人否认身份

作者：乔·马里诺（JOE MARINO）、乔什·克里斯滕森（JOSH CHRISTENSON）、阿曼达·伍兹（AMANDA WOODS）和亚历克斯·奥利维拉（ALEX OLIVEIRA）

在布朗克斯被美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）特工枪击的这名多米尼加共和国原籍人士是一名拥有惊人犯罪记录的移民——据消息人士和法院记录，他显然受益于纽约宽松的保释法和避难所法律，使其得以留在街头。

据信，28 岁的奥斯卡·贝尔加尔（Oscar Belgal）于 2022 年左右非法进入美国，一年后在福特汉姆高地（Fordham Heights）持枪抢劫，在 2025 年被定罪后的几个月内涉嫌贩卖危险药物，甚至据称与一个暴力街头帮派有关联。

但这都没能阻止市长曼达尼在周四一次愤怒的致辞中将贝尔加尔称为“一名纽约人”，以此抨击美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）——这一标签引起了一些布朗克斯当地人的反感。

“我不认为他是纽约人，”布朗克斯的母亲米格达莉亚·马丁内斯（Migdalia Martinez）愤怒地说道，她 12 岁的儿子雅各布·弗雷塔斯（Jacob Freytas）在 7 月骑自行车时死于帮派火拼的流弹。

“我唯一认为他是的东西就是垃圾，除了垃圾什么都不是。而且我不认为我的家纽约是垃圾，”她在周五告诉《邮报》。

当被问及曼达尼将贝尔加尔称为纽约人是否错误时，马丁内斯说：“市长在很多方面都错了——这绝对是其中之一。”

不予保释

马丁内斯的儿子在伊甸山（Mt. Eden）——一个著名的特里尼塔里奥斯（Trinitarios）帮派领地——不幸被流弹击中，当局表示怀疑该残暴帮派参与了此次暴力事件。

美国国土安全部官员表示，同一个帮派参与了 2025 年 7 月在华盛顿堡公园（Fort Washington Park）枪击一名休假海关及边境保护局（CBP）官员的事件，并且在周四接触贝尔加尔时，他们正在调查其与该帮派的涉嫌联系。

监控录像显示，下午 4 点左右，便衣 ICE 探员在马布尔希尔（Marble Hill）持枪冲向贝尔加尔停放的车辆，随后他猛踩油门驶离，消失在闭路电视摄像头的视野中。

ICE 执法与遣返行动部门负责人马科斯·查尔斯（Marcos Charles）表示，贝尔加尔向探员们“加速”冲撞，并“撞击”了其中两人。

国土安全部部长

马克韦恩·马林（Markwayne Mullin）确认 ICE 探员佩戴了执法记录仪，但联邦政府并未立即公布录像。

联邦消息人士称，据信贝尔加尔在 2022 年随移民车队潜入美国，期间未被边境巡逻队拦截。根据当局和法院记录，到 2023, 他因一个月前的一起武装抢劫案被捕。

刑事起诉书显示，贝尔加尔在沿莫里斯大道（Morris Avenue）驾驶车辆，后座坐着两人，当时他转身用枪指着他们，要求“把珠宝给我，否则我就开枪”。

记录显示，受害者交出了珠宝和约 $500 现金，贝尔加尔随后被抓获——但随后在等待审判期间被无保释金释放。

避风港

官员表示，他在 2025 年 4 月承认了一项较轻的四级重罪盗窃罪名，在 1 月被判刑时，该协议使他获得了五年的缓刑。

这次与法律的接触显然未能让贝尔加尔改过自新——在被定罪仅几个月后的 2025, 8 月，他再次被捕，此次是因为涉嫌在

被捕：奥斯卡·贝尔加尔（图中躺在地上）参与了周四在马布尔希尔发生的一起与 ICE 相关的枪击事件，涉嫌向探员加速冲撞并撞击了其中两人。

——在他被联邦特工用汽车带走之前。

案件目前仍在审理中。

执法部门消息人士称，那些毒品指控是不符合保释条件的——这意味着贝尔加尔在被捕后被释放——但检察官请求并获得了最高级别的“监督释放”。

联邦消息人士称，贝尔加尔被捕后被下达了拘留令，这意味着 ICE 要求当地当局将其移交给该机构——但这一请求未被执行。

马林表示，纽约的避风港法律（很大程度上禁止当地与联邦移民当局合作）阻碍了他们抓捕贝尔加尔，并危及了美国人的安全。

他说：“避风港政治人物为犯罪活动的滋生创造了环境，而不是为了让美国公民安全。当你拥有避风港城市和政治人物时，你就在危及公众的安全。”

联邦羁押

周五，贝尔加尔再次被投入监禁——这一次是处于联邦羁押状态。此前，在一次逮捕尝试中，一名美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）特工将其颈部击中。当时，贝尔加尔试图驾驶他的本田 SUV 逃离，其 5 岁儿子当时就坐在后座。

来自纽约市警察局（NYPD）的激烈执法记录仪画面显示，警察赶到现场时，发现 ICE 特工正在救治受伤的贝尔加尔，而他惊恐的儿子在背景中尖叫。

七颗子弹击碎了车辆的前窗、侧窗和后窗，但贝尔加尔在受伤后幸存并被紧急送往医院。他的儿子没有受伤，目前由家人照顾。

这是 第二次尝试逮捕贝尔加尔——该机构曾在 9 月尝试过，但官员称他成功逃脱。

此次枪击事件引发了纽约左翼政客和反 抗议者的广泛愤怒，他们聚集在纽约-长老会艾伦医院（NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital），警察在事后将贝尔加尔送至该院。

“一名纽约人在马布尔山（Marble Hill）被 特工枪击，”市长告诉记者。“ 特工在开火前包围了该男子的车辆。他们穿着建筑工背心并戴着遮脸的面具。没有合理的方法能将他们识别为 特工。”

“绝对不是”

“你们现在听到了纽约人的声音——痛苦、悲伤、愤怒——因为在这个城市，这个世界之都，移民们每天早晨醒来都不知道自己是否能过上本应拥有的生活，”他愤怒地说道。

但并非所有纽约人都认同市长的观点——包括贝尔加尔在曼哈顿上城的一位邻居，当被问及是否认为他是一名纽约人时，她坚定地回答“不”。“绝对不是，”莫拉·罗德里格斯（Mora Rodriguez）告诉《邮报》。

奥斯卡·贝尔加尔的犯罪记录

将 Kat 踢出门：总统在雪城助力 Bruce

作者：VICTOR NAVA 和 VAUGHN GOLDEN

纽约州雪城 —— 特朗普总统周五承诺，如果帝国州（纽约州）的选民在 11 月选择共和党州长候选人而非民主党州长霍楚尔（Gov. Hochul），他将立即帮助布鲁斯·布莱克曼（Bruce Blake-man）降低能源价格，并严厉打击纽约的犯罪和非法移民。

“凯西·霍楚尔和激进的‘笨民党’（Dumocrats）已将纽约变成了高成本、高犯罪、大规模腐败以及共产主义政客将工作、企业和财富……赶出该州的全国性笑柄，”特朗普在雪城一场人山人海的集会上说道。

“纽约人民需要在 11 月 3 日清理奥尔巴尼（Albany）的门户，首先就从凯西·霍楚尔开始，”他要求道。

特朗普列举了一系列令人震惊的统计数据，涉及在该州“被逮捕的移民罪犯”数量，而这些人随后被霍楚尔释放，“以猎杀无辜的纽约人”。

“48,000 起犯罪”

“在不到两年的时间里，纽约释放了被指控或被定罪超过 48,000 起犯罪的非法移民罪犯，”他说道。“这些人就这样被释放到街头，其中包括 8,600 起袭击案、1,600 起抢劫案，以及数以千计的强奸、绑架和谋杀案。”

“民主党的避难政策总是让无辜生命处于危险之中。”

特朗普赞扬了周四在布朗克斯区枪击疑似移民帮派成员奥斯卡·贝尔加尔的“ICE英雄”。总统将贝尔加尔描述为一名“犯罪记录长达一英里，因涉嫌帮派谋杀而被通缉的人……他是个非常危险的人，而他们抓住了他。”

“但 ICE 没有得到赞扬，”特朗普感叹道，“反而遭到了那些将其释放的纽约政客的轻视。”

“如果你想阻止非法移民罪犯被释放到你的社区，你必须选举布鲁斯·布莱克曼以及共和党国会，我们将最终禁止避难城市和避难州，”他承诺道。

特朗普继续说道：“如果布鲁斯·布莱克曼作为你们的州长，打电话请我帮他整顿纽约市或这个我如此熟悉且深爱的州中那些相当危险的地区，布鲁斯，我会在 24 小时内赶到。”

总统宣布，一旦布莱克曼入主州长府，“在两个月内，你们将从一座高犯罪率城市变成几乎没有犯罪——就像我在华盛顿特区、孟菲斯和新奥尔良所做的那样。”

特朗普还抨击了霍楚导致该州电费高昂——并表示布莱克曼将使价格降低高达“90%”。

“你们的能源账单是全国最高的。我很遗憾地告诉你们这一点，”特朗普说。“当布鲁斯上任后，我相信你们将从全国最高变为全国最低之列——因为他将开发你们的石油。”

“你们坐拥世界上最伟大的石油储备之一，但你们却不被允许触碰它，”他继续说道。

边境危机

被 ICE 枪击的移民被揭露“与帮派有联系”

作者：乔治亚·沃雷尔（GEORGIA WORRELL）

官员们周五透露，在布朗克斯区被联邦移民局特工枪击的非法移民，是血腥的 Trinitarios 帮派的疑似成员，该帮派数十年来在纽约市制造了巨大破坏——包括 7 月份一起令人震惊的无辜青少年谋杀案。

美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）一直试图抓捕多米尼加共和国原籍的奥斯卡·贝尔加尔，原因是其涉嫌与这些暴徒有联系。周四，当特工们在马布尔山（Marble Hill）试图逮捕他时，他涉嫌“加速”并将其车辆“武器化”冲向特工——导致一名特工为了自卫而开火。国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林（Markwayne Mullin）和 ICE 执法与移除行动部门负责人马科斯·查尔斯（Marcos Charles）周五表示。

“在履行职责”

马林（右）表示，28岁的贝尔加尔“已知与”Trinitarios帮派有关联。这是一个暴力街头帮派，始于20世纪90年代初莱克斯岛（Rikers Island）的一群多米尼加囚犯组成的保护团体，此后已发展成为一个在布朗克斯和曼哈顿上城拥有据点的跨国犯罪帝国。

该帮派成员曾犯下多起令人发指的罪行，包括2018, 年因认错人而谋杀15岁的莱桑德罗·“小”·古兹曼-费利兹（Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz）、今年7月流弹导致12岁的雅各布·弗雷特斯（Jacob Freytes）死亡，以及去年夏天在曼哈顿一个公园内枪击一名联邦边境巡逻代理人。

古兹曼-费利兹仍处于悲痛中的母亲在得知本周有更多暴力帮派分子被清除出街头后，感到十分欣慰。

“他们不能在街上杀害无辜的人而没有人采取行动……必须有人做点什么，”莱安德拉·古兹曼（Leandra Guzman）周五告诉《邮报》。

她补充道：“如果他们能清理这座城市，把罪犯从这里清除出去，那就是在履行他们的职责。”

五名帮派分子被判定在光天化日之下袭击了古兹曼-费利兹。一段令人作呕的监控视频记录下了这一过程：在贝尔蒙特（Belmont）的一家杂货店外，大约十几个年轻暴徒将他围住，用刀和砍刀将其残杀。

当局表示，Trinitarios帮派成员误以为这名无辜的少年是另一个人，从而对他发动袭击。他随后在圣巴拿巴医院（St. Barnabas Hospital）被宣布死亡。与此同时，弗雷特斯的母亲在本周与贝尔加尔发生血腥冲突后，猛烈抨击纽约市市长曼达尼要求“废除”美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）的呼吁——此次冲突在整个纽约市引发了激烈的反ICE抗议活动。

“我不认为他们应该被废除，”被杀少年的母亲米格达莉亚·马丁内斯周五表示。

“使其更安全”

“我的12岁儿子死在了一个帮派成员手中，”她说，并补充道，她希望ICE特工能够“继续”逮捕像杀害她儿子那样的人的暴力罪犯。

小雅各布在夏天被杀害，当时他骑车去商店买球，在蒙特伊登（Mount Eden）被卷入一场与帮派相关的街头枪战的交叉火力之中。该社区是Trinitarios帮派的已知地盘，该帮派被怀疑参与其中。

“我完全支持……不仅是Trinitarios，而是所有这些帮派，”马丁内斯说。“这将使……更容易且更安全

杀害青少年的暴力 Trinitarios 帮派成员

4 贝尔加尔仅行驶了半个街区，穿过大理石山大道（Marble Hill Ave）后就被 ICE 车辆截停；贝尔加尔向右转，撞上了路边的护栏。

一名特工走到车前，而第一名特工试图打开驾驶员侧的车门。

贝尔加尔加速沿街逃离。在某个时间点，他的车辆被击中 7 发子弹，其中一颗子弹击穿了挡风玻璃。

⑤ 贝尔加尔被拘留，一名 ICE 特工此前不知在车内的 5 岁儿童被抱离现场。

“我们的孩子，”这位母亲继续说道，并补充道：“正是像市长这样的人，想要夺走那些能够防御和保护我们的东西。”

曼达尼（Mamdani）在周四的一次激烈演讲中抱怨称，ICE “从核心起就已腐败”——他甚至表示自己正试图与特朗普总统协商释放贝尔加尔。

然而，根据马林（Mullin）的说法，这名涉嫌帮派成员被捕是因为他对另一起与 Trinitarios 相关的枪击事件拥有“间接或直接的了解”，在该事件中，一名美国海关和边境保护局（CBP）的休职官员在去年夏天受重伤。

“这就是他成为目标的原因，”马林在周五的新闻发布会上解释道，并补充说贝尔加尔在上个月 ICE 特工试图逮捕他时“逃跑”了。

涉嫌 Trinitarios 成员的米格尔·弗朗西斯科·莫拉-努涅斯（Miguel Francisco Mora-Nunez，22 岁）和克里斯蒂安·艾巴尔-贝罗亚（Christian Aybar-Berroa，23 岁）分别被判处十年以上监禁。他们在 20, 2025 年 7 月 20 日一次失败的抢劫企图中，在华盛顿堡公园（Fort Washington Park）骑着轻便摩托车伏击并向 42 岁的 CBP 特工约书亚·辛克莱尔（Joshua Sinclair）开火。

通过电话关联

辛克莱尔向两人还击，但在冲突中面部仍受枪伤。

马林的言论是贝尔加尔首次被提及与这起惨剧有关——该事件在去年夏天引发了 ICE 对 54 名涉嫌 Trinitarios 成员的大规模搜捕——尽管消息人士告诉《纽约邮报》，他的名字出现在辛克莱尔袭击者的至少一部手机中。

贝尔加尔此前在纽约市有两次被捕记录，包括 2023 年的一次抢劫案，他在该案中承认第四级重罪盗窃罪名并被判处五年缓刑；以及 2025 年的一次刑事销售管制物质案，该案目前仍在审理中。

联邦政府宣布，就在今年夏天，近十名 Trinitarios 成员因五起谋杀案被起诉——其中包括杀害一名出演过 Tekashi 6ix9ine 音乐视频的“大苹果”网红。Joe Marino 参与报道。

纽约无视联邦请求

国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林（Markwayne Mullin）周五透露，纽约官员拒绝执行其部门针对其监管下的非法移民所提出的任何一项拘留请求，其中许多人具有“广泛的犯罪背景”。

马林指出，国土安全部已向纽约执法机构发出了 14,766 份拘留请求，涉及被指控共计 47,750 项重罪的移民。

部长表示，目前至少有 258 名外国国民因谋杀指控被拘留。

“沉默。面对这些拘留请求，我们从纽约得到的只有绝对的沉默，”马林在国土安全部总部告诉记者。

马林还指责所谓的“庇护政治人物”纵容“犯罪活动猖獗，而非确保美国公民的安全”，并责难市长曼达尼，因为后者对上周一名纽约市警察在非值班期间被刺伤一事（据称凶手是一名非法移民）闭口不谈。

乔什·克里斯滕森（Josh Christenson）

将责任 归咎于挑衅 反叛者增加风险

美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）一名执法人员枪击多米尼加国民奥斯卡·贝尔加尔（Oscar Belgal）一事，引发了如今看来是可以预见的反应：在事实查明之前的街头抗议；以及包括市长曼达尼在内的庇护政治人物要求“废除”该机构。

但如果他及其同类真的关心社区安全，他应该与移民执法部门合作，而不是试图削弱它。

国土安全部声称，贝尔加尔是一名与暴力帮派 Trinitarios 有联系的非法外籍人士，纽约市警察局（NYPD）也证实他此前曾因抢劫、盗窃被捕，且仍有待审的毒品指控。

典型代表

假设这些事实属实，根据移民法和《莱肯·赖利法案》（Laken Riley Act）——后者是以一名在光天化日之下被非法移民杀害的年轻学生命名的，并于 2025 年 1 月以两党支持通过——美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）必须将其拘留。

然而，像纽约这样的避难城市却在积极阻碍 ICE 官员履行这一联邦职责。

贝尔加尔似乎成了纽约避难城市指令的典型代表：美国国土安全部（DHS）主张，他在 2023 年 12 月被捕后，“几天后就被释放回了社区”。

曼达尼声称他对此次事件感到“愤怒”，并以此再次要求总统“停止在纽约的所有 行动”。

考虑到移民官员之所以被迫进行“街头逮捕”，唯一的原因就是像市长这样的避难城市头目不允许 进入该市的监狱和拘留设施，这种大肆叫嚣简直是讽刺。

出于多种逻辑原因，该机构更倾向于在这些场所拘留犯罪外籍人士。

对于 官员来说，“在押”逮捕是最容易实现的。没有人能在未经彻底武器筛查的情况下进入这样一个安全场所，因此，将外籍嫌疑人从州和地方官员移交给联邦官员的在押移交，对 和外籍嫌疑人双方都更安全。

街头逮捕会让每个人—— 官员、外籍人士和旁观者——都处于风险之中。许多（如果不是大多数的话）嫌疑人会服从官员的命令，但当他们不服从时，局面会迅速陷入混乱——而逃亡嫌疑人驾驶的汽车则变成了 2,000 磅重的无引导导弹。

理性的人可能会在 是否应该逮捕“在其他方面守法”的外籍人士这一问题上产生分歧。

然而，没有任何合理的论据可以支持那些阻碍合法执法、将犯罪外籍人士匆忙赶回街头以猎杀其邻居和社区，并迫使 官员进行通常具有风险的“在逃”逮捕的政策。

这就是为什么避难城市官员不提出合理的论据——当由他们自己的政策引发的此类事件发生时，他们通过煽动群众并伪装出愤慨的样子——然后提出大多数美国人永远不会接受的要求。

“废除 ”？不，市长先生：“与 合作”，允许移民官员进入监狱逮捕危险的犯罪外籍人士，并保护你宣誓要守护安全的公民。

边境危机

国土安全部大发雷霆：

作者：艾米莉·古丁 (EMILY GOODIN)

华盛顿 —— 国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林 (Markwayne Mullin) 周五指责纽约市市长曼达尼 (Mamdani) 以“政治作秀”之名煽动情绪，此前在布朗克斯区一名疑似移民帮派成员被枪击事件发生一天后，曼达尼对移民执法人员发起了攻击。

马林表示，他与曼达尼进行了两小时的交谈。曼达尼要求释放被纽约市警局 (NYPD) 确认名为奥斯卡·贝尔加尔 (Oscar Belgal) 的 28 岁伤者，并要求美国移民与海关执法局 (ICE) 的特工离开这座城市。

“我说的是事实。而市长说话带有政治基调，”马林在一次激烈的记者会上告诉记者。“他的言论是危险的，且在煽动敌意。这毫无帮助。”

据这位前俄克拉荷马州参议员称，特朗普总统也与市长进行了交谈，并提出将贝尔加尔移交给纽约市警局监管 —— 然而曼达尼却要求将该嫌疑人重新放回街头。

“我们每周逮捕数千名罪犯，而他对此视而不见，甚至不愿为每天保护他的纽约市警局警员撑腰，”马林愤怒地说道。同时，他也反驳了市长将贝尔加尔描述为“纽约人”的说法。

“你管那叫纽约人？！我认为这差得太远了。他说 ICE 烂透了。真的吗？当 的男女人员每天在执行他拒绝执行的法律时，”马林说道。

曼达尼在周四晚间要求废除 ，痛斥该联邦机构“烂透了”。

“他说他想废除 ，”马林说。“那么，市长先生，如果你废除了 ，谁来把你自己城市的罪犯从街上清理掉？谁来对付那些杀人犯、小偷和帮派分子？”

“不，我们不会暂停执法。很抱歉，我们不会。事实上，我并不抱歉，”他补充道。“我们的职责是执行国家法律，打击最恶劣的罪犯，我们的男女人员每天都在出色地完成这项工作，我们不会停止履行职责。”

由于特朗普准备在周五下午前往锡拉丘兹，为共和党州长候选人布鲁斯·布莱克曼 (Bruce Blakeman) 进行预定的竞选活动，联邦政府与地方当局之间的紧张局势处于高位。

“非法”在此

曼达尼一直将他与总统的良好关系吹捧为纽约人的福祉，但特朗普同时也是 的坚定捍卫者。市长的言论可能会产生寒蝉效应。

马林在抨击曼达尼在枪击事件后哗众取宠时显得十分愤怒，称其为“政治作秀，而且他心知肚明”。

市长对周四的事件反应激烈，声称 特工正在危及纽约人的安全。

“我们知道，而且我已经直接告诉过总统或公众， 破坏了公共安全。它让我们变得更不安全，”市长在周四晚上表示。

表示，贝尔加尔当时与他 5 岁的儿子在车内，他无视命令，将车辆作为武器向联邦车辆和警员“加速”冲撞。

联邦官员表示，他非法在美，且因涉嫌帮派活动而被通缉。

曼达尼是煽动者

混乱：周四晚上，抗议者与执法人员在布朗克斯区 枪击现场附近发生冲突，市长曼达尼也在该地举行了新闻发布会并要求废除该机构。

马林表示， 特工当时并不知道车内有一名 5 岁儿童。该儿童在枪击中未受伤害。

处于缓刑期

警察局长杰西卡·蒂施（Jessica Tisch）确认，至少一名美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）特工开火了 7 发子弹，并明确表示“纽约市警察局（NYPD）在枪击发生前的联邦行动中没有参与”。

贝尔加尔颈部中弹并被送往医院。联邦官员表示，贝尔加尔被签发了拘留令，且当时处于缓刑期。

马林（Mullin）还批评了像纽约这样禁止地方政府与移民执法部门合作的“避风港城市”政策，并称这些政策使公民“安全性降低”，且影响会波及其他领域。

“犯罪活动不会只停留在避风港城市或避风港州，”他说，“它会波及其他社区，波及其他州，波及那些不希望出现此类犯罪活动的地区。”

蒂施，滚蛋吧：政

被认为倾向左翼的纽约国会议员达里亚利扎·阿维拉-切瓦利埃（Darializa Avila-Chevalier）周五要求市警局长辞职。在一名联邦特工于布朗克斯区枪击一名疑似移民帮派成员后，她指责纽约市警察局与移民执法官员这一“民兵”组织勾结并为其提供保护。

她在社交媒体上发表了一篇近 400 字的激烈谴责文章，抨击曼达尼市长任命的警察局长杰西卡·蒂施，指责她违反了禁止警察协助移民官员的城市法律。

“蒂施局长没有谴责 ICE 的暴力行为，反而试图通过朗读我们的邻居过去与警察的互动记录来为枪击行为辩护，”这位纽约第 13 選区众议院候选人声称，“纽约市警察局花在保护一个刚刚开枪射击他人的民兵组织上的时间，比保护纽约人的时间还要多。” —— 克雷格·麦卡锡（Craig McCarthy）

纽约市 DSA 内部就 Zo 爆发内战

民主社会主义者美国分会（DSA）内部正就支持曼达尼市长的问题酝酿一场内战——他的社会主义同志们对他参加 10 月 7 日的守夜活动以及支持警察局长杰西卡·蒂施感到愤怒。

纽约市民主社会主义者美国分会的青年分会周三支持在市政厅外举行抗议活动——当天是哈马斯 2023 年 10 月 7 日袭击以色列的周年纪念日——谴责市长“未能履行其对巴勒斯坦解放运动的承诺”。

消息人士称，当地分会的负责人迅速采取行动，试图压制支持此次集会的青年分会的公开批评。但在周三晚些时候于联合广场为受害者举行的烛光守夜活动中，曼达尼仍遭到抗议者的起哄。

“佐兰（Zohran），你躲不掉的，我们指控你参与种族灭绝，”他们对着这位市长高喊，而面对来自反以色列同志的嘲讽，市长面无表情。

《邮报》获得的纽约市 DSA “反战工作组”内部群聊截图显示，在领导层显然威胁要撤销青年分会的资金，并要求他们停止使用“亲哈马斯的暗语”后，成员们愤怒不已，称此举“毫无疑问是种族主义的”且“不可原谅”。

纽约市 DSA 的共同主席格蕾丝·莫瑟（Grace Mausser）和古斯塔沃·戈迪略（Gustavo Gordillo）周五未回应置评请求。

Kat：学校补助计划选择加入

该计划有可能为纽约学生带来数百万美元的额外资金。

作者：卡尔·坎帕尼莱（CARL CAMPANILE）

尽管遭到强大的教师工会的反对，霍楚（Hochul）州长正式决定让纽约加入由特朗普总统倡导的一项联邦“教育自由”税收抵免奖学金计划，该计划可能使超过 270 万名纽约公立、教会及私立学校的学生受益。

在审查了财政部和美国国税局（IRS）上周发布的法规后，霍楚周五宣布支持该计划在下一个学年实施。

由国会和特朗普去年批准的“教育自由税收抵免”规定，个人每年向经批准的奖学金授予组织捐款最高 1,700 美元，可获得 100% 的联邦税收抵免。

由州长决定

随后，非营利组织将提供奖学金，所有私立学校的家庭均可使用这些奖学金来抵扣学费。

公立学校的学生也有资格获得奖学金，用于支付辅导费、课后项目或交通费用。

根据法律，各州州长必须决定是否加入特朗普政府所谓的“学校选择”计划。

目前已有 30 个主要由共和党领导的州加入，而霍楚成为了来自大型蓝色州（民主党主导州）的最著名且选择加入的民主党州长。

“我从一开始就明确表示，如果且仅当所有学校和学生（包括我们公立学校的学生）都能从中受益，纽约才会参与联邦奖学金税收抵免计划，”霍楚告诉《邮报》。“在仔细审查联邦法规后，我们认为该计划有潜力为纽约的学生和家庭带来数百万美元的额外资金，而无需从我们的州或地方预算中抽取一分钱。”

“当这些资金可以帮助我们的孩子时，我不会让它们白白流失。”

让纽约加入该计划一直是代表教区学校的联盟的首要政策优先级——包括代表犹太学校（yeshivas）的教学联盟（Teach Coalition）以及代表其宗教学校的纽约天主教会议。

“忧虑”

但教师工会领导人和其他公立学校倡导者（包括全美有色人种协进会 NAACP 和纽约公民自由联盟 NYCLU）声称，该计划是一个后门私有化方案，旨在从公立学校中抽走纳税人的资金。

州立法领导人————霍楚州长选择加入由特朗普总统倡导的奖学金计划

参议院多数党领袖安德里亚·斯图尔特-考辛斯（Andrea Stewart-Cousins，民主党-永克斯）和议会议长卡尔·希斯蒂（Carl Heastie，民主党-布朗克斯）本周加入了工会的行列，反对帝国州（纽约州）参与该计划。

“我对这项联邦提案感到忧虑，并且对其可能给纽约州全境公立学校带来的潜在影响持有严重保留意见，”斯图尔特-考辛斯表示。

教师联合会主席迈克·马尔格鲁（Mike Mulgrew）猛烈抨击了这一举措。

“这与教育无关，”马尔格鲁说。“这是联邦政府在试图渗透到全州的教室中。”

鲍勃·米隆（BOB MILONE） 对着城镇大声尖叫。

道路局长在新闻发布会上大闹一场

一段疯狂的视频捕捉到纽约郊区一名道路局长在周四的一次新闻发布会上对着一名镇主管大吼大叫，期间被他人制止——此事引发了一份警方报告以及一项针对职场暴力的调查。

在由《罗克兰日报》（Rockland Daily）拍摄的片段中，克拉克斯敦（Clarkstown）道路局长鲍勃·米隆（Bob Milone）在关于康格斯湖（Congers Lake）周围步道维修的公开宣布期间，对镇主管乔治·霍曼（George Hoehmann）大发雷霆。

“你说我什么，你说我什么？你以为你在跟谁说话，乔治？你可以欺负这个镇上的其他所有人，”米隆对着霍曼大喊，此时一名男子正试图阻止他攻击这位镇主管。“你可以欺负这个镇上的其他所有人。停止欺负别人，乔治！”他在最终离开现场前大声喊道。

克拉克斯敦镇——罗克兰县的一个郊区飞地——周五确认已提交警方报告，并启动了正式的职场调查。

目前尚不清楚是谁提交的警方报告。 Zoe Hussain

飓风席卷墨西哥湾沿岸

飓风“伊赛亚斯”（Isaias）以 2 级飓风强度登陆，正向墨西哥湾北部沿岸推进，导致该地区出现危险状况。

登陆发生在晚上 9 点左右，地点位于佛罗里达州的彭萨科拉（Pensacola）和德斯廷（Destin）之间，目前风眼墙正向内陆移动。

预计佛罗里达州、阿拉巴马州、密西西比州、路易斯安那州和佐治亚州的 3000 万 多人将遭受“伊赛亚斯”最严重的影响；而在本周末登陆后，风暴残余带来的降雨将波及美国东部的 15 个以上州。

“伊赛亚斯”此前为 3 级飓风，但根据国家飓风中心晚上 8 点发布的公告，这场危险的风暴已略微减弱至 2 级。

目前，风暴位于佛罗里达州彭萨科拉以南约 50 英里处，持续风速为 105 mph，正以 19 mph 的速度向北移动。

在风暴抵达前的几个小时里，沿岸部分地区已遭遇暴雨袭击。

佛罗里达州的巴拿马城（Panama City）和阿帕拉奇科拉（Apalachicola）附近水位正在上升，而阿拉巴马州的莫比尔湾（Mobile Bay）则正在发生风暴潮决口。

佛罗里达州巴拿马城海滩的水位近期已达到平均高潮位之上 5.4 英尺。

$31 MIL 脚本计划：皇后区“药房欺诈”

作者：DANIEL CODY

检察官周四表示，一名不诚实的皇后区药剂师据报道运行了一项涉及 3100万美元 的医疗补助（Medicaid）回购骗局——通过黑市 HIV 药物非法获利数百万美元，以资助其奢靡的生活方式。

据纽约州总检察长办公室称，Miguel Baron, 62, 在其位于杰克逊高地（Jackson Heights）的两家店面——瓜迪奥拉药房（Guardiola Pharmacy）和巴伦专科药房（Baron Specialty Pharmacy）经营这一规模巨大的多年欺诈计划，并将非法赚取的现金挥霍在豪宅、豪车和世界杯门票上。

总检察长指控，从 2023 年 1 月到 2026, 年 4 月，巴伦向在其实体店领取 HIV 处方药的医疗补助患者支付现金回扣，以换取黑市药物，并以极低的价格购买他人的处方药，随后再向医疗补助计划按全价重新报销。

巴伦在拉瓜迪亚机场被捕，当时他正试图逃离美国。他被指控犯有重罪盗窃、医疗保健欺诈、洗钱以及医疗援助提供者禁止执业行为。

“利用弱势纽约人从医疗补助计划中窃取数千万美元，这种行为令人不齿，”总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯（Letitia James）在声明中表示。

詹姆斯警告称：“利用药物回购计划剥削患者的药房业主，正使纽约人的健康面临严重风险。”

凭借这 3100万美元 的赃款，巴伦及其合伙药剂师哈米德·侯赛尼普尔（Hamid Hosseinipour）在迈阿密购买了豪宅，购买了在建的滨海公寓，以及在皇后区投资了高端房地产开发项目。

运作方式

患者将 HIV 处方药带到药店，司机或店员在信封中向他们支付 $150 到 $200 的现金回扣。

随后，药房以约 $400. 的价格回购患者未开封的药物。

据当局称，工作人员随后使用打火机油擦除药瓶上的标签，然后重复分发这些回收的药片，并且每次都欺诈性地向医疗补助计划按全价报销。

法院文件显示，某些 HIV 药物（如 Bik-tarvy）每片成本可高达 $150，从而产生巨额利润。

医疗补助（Medicaid）和艾滋病药物援助计划（AIDS Drug Assistance Program）等由纳税人资助的项目，为 Biktarvy、Discovy、Prezcobix 和 Truvada 等 30 天装抗病毒药物向药房支付高达 $4,000 到 $4,500 的报销费用。

芝加哥公寓抢租热

芝加哥可能失去了一些顶级亿万富翁，但在这座“风之城”寻找公寓的竞争从未如此激烈。

根据 Rent-Cafe 的一份新报告，尽管多年来一直有关于暴力犯罪、企业撤离以及富裕居民迁往气候更温暖地区的头条新闻，但芝加哥已超越迈阿密，成为美国竞争最激烈的租赁市场。

在 2026 年的租赁旺季，平均每套可用公寓有 17 名潜在租客竞争，空房在短短 27 天内就被填满。

即使是曼哈顿也无法与芝加哥的抢租热相媲美。

这个纽约市行政区在全美排名第四，每套可用公寓有 12 名潜在租客追逐，单位入住率达 96%。Emily Fu

布鲁克林社区停车特权化为泡影

作者：KATHERINE DONLEVY

他们浪费了自己的机会。

据市府官员和记录显示，普罗斯佩克高地（Prospect Heights）的驾驶员证明了他们太懒惰、太贪婪且太邋遢，不配享有将交替侧停车（ASP）规则缩减至每周仅两天的特权。

官员们周四透露，这个绿意盎然的布鲁克林社区在为期八周的试点计划中惨遭失败——该计划将 ASP 停车天数从四天减少到两天——但只有略多于一半的驾驶员有意志力为了 1½ 小时的不便而挪车。

根据市卫生局的数据，在 8 月 3 日至 9 月 25, 日运行的试点期间，驾驶员累计收到了惊人的 913 张 ASP 传票。

按平均每月 457 张罚单计算，普罗斯佩克高地的驾驶员收到的传票数量实际上比交替侧规则执行时间翻倍时还要多。

情况甚至变得更糟

抑制热情：布鲁克林普罗斯佩克高地的一条街道上停满了车辆，这里曾试行将交替侧停车从每周四天减少到两天，结果却导致罚单更多（插图）。

实际上只有 62% 的驾驶员在交替侧停车天数减少后挪动了车辆——低于测试计划生效前一个月 73% 的比例。

纽约市卫生局（DSNY）表示，结果是街道明显变得更脏。

市议员克里斯托·哈德森（Crystal Hudson）推动了该试点计划，她推测驾驶员们在方向盘前“睡着了”——许多人认为 $65 的罚单成本值得让他们在那个出了名难停车的社区保留心仪的车位。

“对于那些将罚单仅仅视为在纽约市养车成本的人来说，也许他们宁愿只拿一张罚单而不是两张，”哈德森告诉 Gothamist。

“确实有很多失望。我很失望。我曾希望这能成为一项永久性的改变。但我们必须做得更好。”该社区已恢复常规 ASP 规则——这意味着驾驶员们回到了忍受每周四天街道清扫的日子。

这也意味着普罗斯佩克高地的驾驶员失去了抱怨这种常规操作带来的、令人厌烦的数周“车辆之舞”的权利。

哈德森表示，多年来她的办公室一直收到居民的请求，质疑每侧道路每周两次的清扫是否有必要——尤其是因为这导致该社区的违章双排停车比垃圾还要多。

规则出台的原因

这项测试该理论的试点计划将替代侧停车（ASP）的时间缩短至 2 天，范围涵盖从大西洋大道（Atlantic Avenue）到东公园大道（Eastern Parkway）、介于范德比尔特大道（Vanderbilt Avenue）与格兰德大道（Grand Avenue）之间约 10-by-2 个街区的区域。

这本意是采取一种“胡萝卜加大棒”的方法，承诺如果合规率提高，则减少执法力度——但事实证明驾驶员们太懒了。

“我们估计，全市每周大约有 500,000 辆车在街道清扫车作业时没有挪车。这切实影响了我们街道的视觉效果和氛围——没人喜欢看到路边有垃圾，清扫车在一次平均班次中可以清理 1,500 磅垃圾——但更严重的是，街道上的垃圾最终会进入集水盆和下水道，从而加剧洪涝灾害，”一名纽约市卫生局（DSNY）发言人表示。

下水道“鼹鼠人”数量增加

警方和消息人士称，周五凌晨，关于“鼹鼠人”的谜团仍在继续，一组身份不明的人员从上东区的一个人孔中出现，随后迅速乘坐卡车驶离。

据警方称，大约在凌晨 2:10，在夜色的掩护下，人们在 82 街和东端大道（East End Avenue）的一个冒烟的坑洞中发现五个身影爬出。

执法部门消息人士表示，目击者告诉警方，四名男子和一名女子从地下出现，随后乘坐一辆黑色卡车疾驰而去。

动机尚不明确。

这次可疑的目击事件发生在该市发生的一系列潜入下水道事件之后。

两名男子，凯文·罗德里格斯（Kevin Rodriguez）和塞缪尔·雷韦隆（Samuel Reveron），上个月被捕，此前他们在一家上东区酒店下方嬉戏，当时以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡（Benjamin Netanyahu）因参加联合国大会而入住该酒店。

罗德里格斯称他潜入下水道是为了寻找黄金，尽管下水道系统专家声称地下没有任何具有货币价值的东西。

今年夏天，另外三名穿着工作服、佩戴头灯的“鼹鼠人”从麦迪逊广场花园（Madison Square Garden）附近一个街区的地方爬出地面。

警方表示，周五的目击事件尚未有人被捕。

环境保护局在 9 / 11 前犯下生态罪行

新披露的文件显示，负责保护居民空气和水质的市级机构被判定犯有联邦环境罪——时间就在 2001 年 9 月 11 日恐怖袭击发生前几周。

关于环境保护局（DEP）所犯罪行的这一令人震惊的披露，包含在曼达尼（Mamdani）市长政府公布的 170,000 份与 9 / 11 相关的秘密城市记录档案中。

这些公开的文件包括曼哈顿美国检察官办公室在世界贸易中心遇袭数年后提交给联邦法院的信函。

该部门承认违反《清洁水法》，将汞污染水排放到纽约州北部一个供应城市自来水的蓄水池支流中。环境保护局表示，该违规行为发生在 1998 年。环境保护局还承认未经授权使用受 PCB 污染的机器。

环境保护局一名发言人周四表示，该局已“加强并扩大”了其合规计划。

致命的梅赛德斯疯子

执法部门消息人士称，周五在光天化日之下发生的一起疯狂事件中，一名鲁莽的梅赛德斯驾驶员为了抢灯，疾速驶过布朗克斯的一个十字路口，撞倒四名行人，导致一人死亡。

据消息人士称，该驾驶员在下午 2:15 左右沿奥勒顿大道（Allerton Avenue）向西行驶，在荷兰大道（Holland Avenue）十字路口闯红灯，撞到了四名在人行横道过马路的女性——年龄在 50 到 60 岁之间。

消息人士称，她们被送往雅各比医疗中心（Jacobi Medical Center），其中一名女性死亡，两名处于危急状态。Joe Marino

乌克兰刺客阴谋

一名被指控谋杀企图在摩纳哥炸死一名与俄罗斯有关的寡头之刺客的前乌克兰安全官员声称，他被告知基辅政权批准了该计划。

据 BBC 周四报道，因 7 月发生的杀人事件而被关押在乌克兰监狱中的维塔利·日科维奇（Vitalii Zhykovych）声称，前情报官员弗拉迪斯拉夫·雷乌特（Vladyslav Reut）的构思“提出了该行动”，旨在试图杀死受制裁的乌克兰大亨瓦迪姆·叶尔莫拉耶夫（Vadym Yermolaiev）。

6 月 29 日，一名被日科维奇描述为其“特工”的安娜斯塔西娅·贝列佐夫斯卡（Anastasiaa Berezovska）在他公寓外放置了一个包裹炸弹并触发爆炸，导致叶尔莫拉耶夫、其伴侣安娜·纳索比纳（Anna Nasobina）及其 13 岁儿子受伤。

弗拉克（FLACK）的唐-议程（DON-GENDA）

作者：艾米莉·古丁（EMILY GOODIN）

华盛顿 —— 特朗普总统宣布，前国土安全部发言人凯蒂·扎卡里亚（Katie Zacharia）将出任白宫新闻秘书，并称其为一名“忠诚且才华横溢的支持者”。

扎卡里亚是特朗普的长期支持者，也是保守派媒体（尤其是福克斯新闻）的常客。她还曾为《邮报》撰写评论文章。

虽然公众对她并不十分熟悉，但特朗普在宣布任命时强调了她与他团队的关系以及她在共和党政治领域长期的职业生涯。

“她此前参与了我的竞选活动，在关键的摇摆州提供协助，我们在那里取得了 7 场全胜，”特朗普指出。

“她的支持记录无瑕，从一开始就是一名忠诚且才华横溢的支持者。同样，她也是 MAGA 的忠实粉丝和成员！”总统说道。

接替利维特

扎卡里亚就职于 Fix California，这是一个由特朗普特使里克·格雷内尔（Ric Grenell）创立、旨在推动加州保守派议程的组织。她还担任特朗普媒体与技术集团（总统的社交媒体公司）的顾问。

她将接替卡罗琳·利维特（Karoline Leavitt），后者在 5 月 1 日第二个孩子出生后，于 8 月离职以花更多时间陪伴家人。

扎卡里亚今年早些时候在国土安全部工作了约三个月，在马克韦恩·马林（Markwayne Mullin）于 3 月接任部长后离开了该机构。

据报道，在国土安全部期间，她与时任部长克里斯蒂·诺姆（Kristi Noem）及其特别顾问科里·莱万多夫斯基（Corey Lewandowski）关系密切。

由于莱万多夫斯基和格雷内尔长期以来对白宫办公厅主任苏西·威尔斯（Susie Wiles）反感，扎卡里亚的任命可能会改变特朗普核心圈的动态。

但特朗普表示，他相信这位 42 岁的女性能够完美融入他的团队。

他在 Truth Social 的一篇帖子中写道：“她赢得了媒体、美国人民以及我政府的尊重，并将与他们开展极佳的合作，”并在结尾写道：“祝好运，凯蒂。”

讲述她的故事：特朗普总统任命凯蒂·扎卡里亚（左）为新任白宫新闻秘书，接替卡罗琳·利维特。她在共和党政治方面有深厚背景。

扎卡里亚被任命为新任新闻发言人

作为四个孩子的母亲，扎卡里亚将离开国土安全部的原因归结为从加州通勤时间过长，她告诉 Just the News，这给她的家庭带来了压力。

共和党资深人士

新闻秘书这一职位是任何一届白宫中最受瞩目的岗位之一，需要定期面对记者进行镜头前的简报，以及独立参加电视新闻节目。

扎卡里亚在共和党政治领域拥有深厚的背景，在就读于佩珀代因大学期间曾任共和党全国委员会的实习生，并在乔治·W·布什的第二个任期内就职于白宫政治事务办公室。

联邦检方：马萨诸塞州警察在杀害受害者前对其进行“安抚”

波士顿 —— 一名马萨诸塞州警察涉嫌在杀害桑德拉·比尔奇莫尔之前，通过“安抚”使其产生虚假的安全感，随后将其杀害以掩盖两人的私情。一名检察官在向陪审团展示其最后几条短信时如此主张。

检察官托雷·卡明斯在周五法威尔联邦审判的开庭陈述中指称，当 23 岁的比尔奇莫尔欣喜若狂地发短信告诉她当时身为斯托顿警察的男友马修·法威尔她怀孕了时，他恶狠狠地回应道：“你真的是地球上最糟糕的人。”

但检察官称，已婚的法威尔——涉嫌在比尔奇莫尔年仅 15 岁时就开始对其进行性虐待——在 2021 年 2 月 1 日比尔奇莫尔被谋杀前的几天里发生了“ 180 度大转变”，不再对她表现出愤怒。

卡明斯称，这名身高 6 英尺 4 英寸的警察涉嫌用一个行李袋的带子勒死了身高 5 英尺的比尔奇莫尔，然后布置现场使其看起来像是一起自杀事件。

检方称，法威尔涉嫌在妻子生第三个孩子的前一天杀害比尔奇莫尔，以让她闭嘴。

卡明斯解释说，事后进行的 DNA 检测显示，法威尔并非比尔奇莫尔未出生孩子的父亲，尽管两人当时都认为他是。

法威尔的辩护律师金伯利·史蒂文斯坚持认为比尔奇莫尔是自杀，并再次强调其有精神健康问题的病史。

法威尔已否认指控，如果被定罪，将面临终身监禁。

唐纳的一首“和平”金曲

特朗普转发抨击诺贝尔奖

作者：STEVEN NELSON 和 VICTOR NAVA

没有正义，就没有和平！特朗普总统周五转发了一份措辞激烈的声明，谴责诺贝尔和平奖得主纳维·皮莱（Navi Pillay）——此前他连续第二年未能获得该奖项——并指出这位前联合国官员曾指控以色列犯有种族灭绝罪。

在纽约州锡拉丘兹的一次集会上，他猛烈抨击了由五人组成的挪威诺贝尔委员会。他说：“由我作为你们的总统所代表的美利坚合众国，本应该获得诺贝尔和平奖，但却没有。”

此前，他表示诺贝尔评审小组“通过将奖项授予联合国的纳维·皮莱，使其自身蒙羞至无法挽回，并贬低了曾经伟大的诺贝尔和平奖。皮莱是一个毫不掩饰地仇视美国和以色列的人，”这份由总部位于阿拉巴马州和佐治亚州的 Schoen 律师事务所转发的声明中写道。

“在她的任职期间，她赞美恐怖分子并奖赏哈马斯。她进行了一场虚假的‘调查’，声称发现以色列犯有种族灭绝罪并敦促起诉。她在任何正常领域都没有公信力，从未做过任何促进和平的事情。恰恰相反。但对于一个此前将曾经令人向往的和平奖授予亚西尔·阿拉法特的委员会，还能期待什么？”

多年来，特朗普一直表示，评审小组应该因为他在调解世界冲突中的作用而选择他。

由五人组成的挪威诺贝尔委员会授予皮莱该奖项，以表彰她“在发展国际法律与秩序体系中所发挥的推动作用”。

评审小组写道：“一个让战争罪犯被追究责任、让受虐者获得正义的国际法律体系，是和平世界的先决条件。”

皮莱是一位出生于南非、拥有印度血统的律师，在 2021 年至 2025 年期间领导了联合国关于被占领巴勒斯坦领土的独立国际调查委员会。

2025 年 9 月，该小组评估认为，以色列在针对哈马斯的加沙战争期间犯有种族灭绝罪。

以色列外交部痛批皮莱获奖，在声明中表示，“[纳粹宣传部长]约瑟夫·戈培尔肯定在地狱里鼓掌。”

该部门表示：“如果有一项关于谎言、仇恨和血祭诽谤的奖项，纳维·皮莱不仅会是一个竞争者，她还会是领跑者。”

“授予皮莱诺贝尔和平奖并非是对正义的认可。这是对奖项的一种怪诞武器化，旨在使反以色列的仇恨和偏见合法化。”

现年 85 岁的皮莱曾在 2003 年至 2008 年间担任国际刑事法院法官，此前曾领导调查 1994 年卢旺达种族灭绝案的法庭。

特朗普：哥伦布是我的哥们！

特朗普总统周五声称，他已将克里斯托弗·哥伦布从“取消文化”中复活，并抨击了试图摧毁这位探险家遗产的“激进左翼共产主义者”。

在白宫举行的一场仪式上，特朗普赞扬了这位著名的意大利裔美国人的成就。他正准备在玫瑰园增加一座哥伦布的雕像，该雕像将与亚历山大·汉密尔顿和托马斯·杰斐逊的雕像并列。

“我复活了克里斯托弗·哥伦布，”他在热烈的掌声中宣布，“他已经 100% 恢复名誉了。”

总统在华盛顿特区已经有一座哥伦布雕像，位于白宫旁边的艾森豪威尔行政办公大楼前。周五，他揭幕了第二座位于玫瑰园的雕像，该雕像描绘了这位探险家被四个象征欧洲、美洲、亚洲和非洲的女性形象所环绕。 Emily Goodin

被解雇的“跟踪狂”警察出现在政治广告中

《邮报》获悉，众议员莫妮卡·德·拉·克鲁兹（Monica De La Cruz）最近的一则广告重点宣传了一名警察的背书，而该警察据报道因涉嫌性骚扰和跟踪同事，于去年被前雇主解雇。

该广告出现了一名来自德克萨斯州戈利亚德县（Goliad County）的名为“加西亚副警长”（Deputy Garcia）的男子，他猛烈抨击德拉·克鲁兹的民主党对手、拉丁格莱美奖得主鲍比·普利多（Bobby Pulido）为“反警察”。

德拉·克鲁兹（共和党-德克萨斯州）的竞选团队坚称，在 6 月拍摄该广告时并不知晓该警察的背景，并指出关于该警察过去行为的公开报道直到 8 月才出现。

经《邮报》审查的照片、工作经历及其他证据表明，该警察扎卡里·加西亚副警长（Deputy Zachary Garcia）去年被威尔逊县（Wilson County）警长办公室解雇，原因是其被指控骚扰一名与其断绝关系的女性调度员。Ryan King

吹牛 Diddy 的监狱“牢房”说唱

Diddy 的传奇故事仍在继续。

据 NBC 新闻报道，在被囚禁期间的奢靡生活成为头条新闻后，名声扫地的音乐大亨肖恩·“”·库姆斯（Sean “” Combs）在所在的低安全级别联邦监狱中受到了“最严重”的处罚之一。

该媒体援引一名熟悉此事的工会官员的话报道称，56 岁的库姆斯因“扰乱秩序的行为”受到了新泽西州 FCI Fort Dix 监狱管理人员的制裁。

美国联邦政府雇员联盟（AFGE）第 506 分会秘书何塞·罗哈斯（Jose Rojas）告诉 NBC，这位以“Act Bad”著称的说唱歌手被扣除了 41 天的所谓“良好行为时间”。

据罗哈斯称，这种处罚通常给予被发现持有违禁手机的囚犯——据报道， 将手机偷偷带入联邦监狱，并用其查看前女友发送的裸照和露骨色情照片。

罗哈斯指出，对非法设备的处罚之所以被执行，“是因为你在监狱里可以用手机雇人杀人。”

据 NBC 报道，在被剥夺良好行为时间后，库姆斯的预定出狱日期已从 2028 年 1 月推迟到同年 3 月。Ella Morrison

希特勒在秘鲁选举获胜

一名与法西斯独裁者阿道夫·希特勒和贝尼托·墨索里尼同名的左翼政治人物，在从一个右翼民粹主义政党辞职一年后，成为了秘鲁一个小镇的市长。

45 岁的希特勒·墨索里尼·西蒙·弗洛雷斯（Hitler Mussolini Simeon Flores）在周日举行的克罗帕尔卡（Queropalca）选举中以 34% 的得票率获胜，他代表秘鲁的“现在国家”（Ahora Nacion）党以中左翼身份参选。

目前尚不清楚该政治人物何时加入“现在国家”党，但他此前是右翼人民力量党（Popular Force）的成员，直到 2025 年辞职。Chris Bradford

“妈”呀，真是烂片：其他值得一看的电影

请去看其他电影。

请去看其他电影。当一家制片厂在周四 6:30 p.m. 为媒体放映电影时——而此时某些城市的公众已经可以付费观看了——这绝非一个好兆头。

由杰西卡·查斯坦（左）主演的劣质新恐怖片《另一个妈妈》（Other Mommy）就是这种情况，在长达 93 分钟的放映中，我一直渴望能从中解脱。如果你这些受虐狂坚持看到了最后，离开影院时你会明显感觉到自己变笨了。

这部由罗布·萨维奇执导的愚蠢电影《另一个妈妈》，几个月来一直依赖于其诡异预告片所营造的期待感。预告片中，一位奥斯卡获奖女演员令人不安地饰演了双重角色：一位郊区母亲，以及一个威胁地跟踪孩子的阴险分身。

那段病毒式传播的片段还包含了这部电影唯一成功的时刻：一名面带微笑的女人在为小女儿煮意面。但她有些不对劲。她根本不是妈妈——她是“另一个妈妈”！这就是第一场戏。在那之后，尽管查斯坦的表演如此令人钦佩地投入，以至于看起来她像是在强行让自己诱发脑动脉瘤，但之后再也没有任何哪怕是一点点恐怖的地方。

萨维奇声称他的电影中有 50 多个跳跃惊吓（jump scares）。但我只数到了 22. 个。这让我产生了一个存在主义式的疑问：如果没有人跳起来或感到害怕，那么所谓的“跳跃惊吓”究竟是什么？

强尼·奥莱克辛斯基 电影评论

内森·埃尔斯顿的剧本构思其实并不新鲜。在《来玩吧》（Come Play）或某种程度上像《巴巴杜克》（The Babadook）这样的电影中，邪恶的幻想朋友同样困扰着孩子们。这些从平庸到出色的故事挖掘了孩童最基础的恐惧：衣柜里有什么？床底下有什么？

《另一个妈妈》 恐怖吗？不。愚蠢吗？绝对。 片长：93 分钟。 分级：R级（含部分血腥暴力及语言）。现正热映。

当然，在这里，唯一的问题是：电影制作人是不是绑架了查斯坦？！电影以一段来自希腊神话的妄想式引用开场，仿佛这是一部温斯顿·丘吉尔的传记，而不是一个来自劣质电影工厂的缺陷废品。这些话被归于厄瑞玻斯（Erebus）名下，他是一个由混沌而生的黑暗之神，讲述了他想要成为人类的愿望。

这也是邪恶的“另一个妈妈”的梦想，她住在小贝拉的衣柜里，在她的父母厄苏拉和罗素（查斯坦和杰·杜普拉斯 饰）不在家时出现。“让我进入你的心，”她说。

很难理解这个生物的规则，她还能变形为其他人。我最好的猜测是根本没有规则。例如，在一个试图模仿斯蒂芬·金《它》（It）的愚蠢片段中，一家人在快餐店的游戏区，这时“另一个妈妈”跟着贝拉进入了球池。最后，塑料球不知怎么地传送到他们的车里、女孩的卧室，以及最令人费解的地方——大海。

随后，一名捉鬼人宣布：“我们不怕你，另一个妈妈！你的游戏结束了！”萨维奇和埃尔斯顿试图强行加入一些背景故事和戏剧冲突。厄苏拉一直在出轨，对象是这对夫妇的朋友弗兰克（阿里安·莫耶德 饰），而她那个痴迷超自然的母亲露丝（凯伦·艾伦 饰）与家人关系疏远。

但这些乏力的故事尝试和查斯坦的敬业精神，无法掩盖其在铺垫、节奏掌控和惊悚感上的完全缺失。罗素和厄苏拉在电影的前 10 分钟就发现了“另一个妈妈”，从未怀疑过其存在，并最终试图用一把斧头和一把肉切刀将其杀死。

谁会在面对神灵的战斗时带把刀？

在那个欠考虑的高潮戏之前，厄苏拉指向一张摆满锋利危险武器的桌子，告诉她 8 岁的孩子“选一把”。

真是诱人！

“蜘蛛侠”前妻将嫁金融巨头之子

这条新闻为近期一项奇怪的进展带来了某种清晰的解释：詹妮弗上周解决了她与“蜘蛛侠”影星托比·马奎尔之间悬而未决的离婚事宜，而两人分手的时间已过去整整十年。

考虑到罗恩曾任环球影业、NBC环球、WME和CAA的负责人，加上詹妮弗那圈著名的明星社交圈（其中包括凯特·哈德逊、詹妮弗·安妮斯顿和格温妮丝·帕特洛），这场婚礼很可能会聚集大量名流。

据我们获悉，好莱坞巨头罗恩·迈耶之女詹妮弗·迈耶，与贝莱德（BlackRock）大亨阿德巴约·奥贡莱西之子杰夫·奥贡莱西，将在夏威夷的四季酒店拉奈岛举行婚礼。

Page Six 获悉，两个强大的权力王朝将在本周末正式联姻。

周末前的传闻称，马奎尔著名的好基友莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥预计将前往该岛，杰夫·贝佐斯和劳伦·桑切斯也将出席。

杰夫现年 34 岁，比珠宝设计师迈耶小 15 岁。他是一名音乐高管，曾就职于华纳音乐集团和利奥·科恩的 300 Entertainment，目前拥有自己的管理公司——奥贡莱西集团（Ogunlesi Group）。

据报道，两人于 2023 年相识，次年订婚，并在今年早些时候育有一女。（这是新郎的第一个孩子，而新娘的第三个孩子；她与马奎尔育有一女 19 岁，一子 17 岁。）

迈耶告诉《People》杂志：“杰夫爱[托比]，而他也爱杰夫。所以一切都很和谐。”

马奎尔和迈耶当年也是在夏威夷大岛的科纳结婚的。

杰夫的父亲是尼日利亚律师兼商人阿德巴约，他在 2024 年将自己的投资公司全球基础设施合伙公司（Global Infrastructure Partners）——该公司拥有伦敦盖特威克机场和爱丁堡机场等资产——出售给了贝莱德，并作为交易的一部分加入了其董事会。

我们听说，著名的婚礼策划师明迪·魏斯负责筹划这场婚礼。

“火”之洗礼

据称，黛米·摩尔（DEMI Moore）在参加 1985 年电影《圣埃尔莫之火》（St. Elmo's Fire）的一次试装时处于“醉酒且嗑药”状态，因此差点将角色输给麦当娜（Madonna）。共同编剧卡尔·库兰德（Carl Kurlander）在凯特·凯西（Kate Casey）的播客中提到，导演乔尔·舒马赫（Joel Schumacher）和制片人劳伦·舒勒·唐纳（Lauren Shuler Donner）当时“与黛米见了面”，舒马赫告诉摩尔（见上图）：“去在别人的电影里自杀吧。”库兰德声称，唐纳“上帝保佑她，与乔尔商量出了一个计划”，他们告诉摩尔：“听着，如果你能在 10 天内让自己清醒过来，你就可以出演这部电影。”库兰德说，他称之为“导师”的舒马赫曾见过麦当娜，认为她“将成为世界上最伟大的明星”，并且“已经准备好将”朱尔斯·范·帕滕（Jules Van Patten）这个角色交给她——但摩尔开始参加 AA（戒酒互助会）会议，请了一名陪同戒酒员，从而保住了工作。

对泰勒邻居的耐心归零

他们之间有深仇大恨。根据《每日邮报》（Daily Mail）获得的记录，泰勒·斯威夫特（Taylor Swift）和特拉维斯·凯尔斯（Travis Kelce）在俄亥俄州的邻居称，这对夫妇的到来给社区的“宁静”带来了“沉重打击”。镇民试图阻止这对新婚夫妇在他们位于布拉特纳尔（Bratenahl）价值 500万美元 的豪宅周围搭建围栏和种植树木。在该房产旁边住了三十年的凯瑟琳·博尔顿（Katherine Bolton）预测，如果这些超级巨星在他们共用的旧污水管线附近种植常绿树，会导致下水道出现“灾难性”后果。她说，为了保护该管线，她被报价高达 $75,000。博尔顿愤怒地表示：“这个申请人明年可能会决定卖掉房子，也许搬走去买另一栋房。当我的污水管线上长了 50 棵常绿树而他们却走了，我该怎么办？”邻居查克·鲍恩施密特（Chuck Bauernschmidt）声称“所有的树都没了”，并担心鹿会撞死在计划中的

雅各布·库茨（Jacob Kutz）为这对夫妇辩护，称他们在“库亚霍加县（Cuyahoga County）最大规模的交易之一之后……正在寻求隐私和安全”。他指出，他们已经将围绕房产的围栏从 8 英尺缩减到 6 英尺，且在未触及伊利湖之前停止。该夫妇的代表尚未回复我们的询问。

“挚爱离世”遗体弄错

一名悲痛的女儿前往南卡罗来纳州参加其已故母亲的开棺瞻仰仪式以作告别，但一名令人震惊的诉讼称，她却发现棺材里是另一个人——而且穿着她母亲的“周日正装”。

根据《邮报》获得的周四在 Horry 县提交的一份诉讼文件显示，在 87, 岁的 Iris Evans 于 1 月去世后，Iris Gordon 与 Ocean View 殡仪馆签署了一份价值 $13,820 的合同，用于举行守灵仪式和墓地服务，结果 Gordon 在前往吊唁时被所见之景震惊。

据称，Ocean View 的工作人员承认殡仪馆犯了错，并更换了正确的遗体以进行新的瞻仰。

Gordon 正在寻求追回服务费用 $13,820, 以及未明金额的损害赔偿。

Ocean View 没有立即回应《邮报》的置评请求。Zoe Hussain

Pike 心理创伤

执行失败导致认知困扰

作者：ALEX DIAZ

她的律师透露，Christa Pike 在经历了一次失败的执行后，正遭受“认知挑战”和“深刻的心理创伤”。

这名 50 岁的死刑囚犯在 30 日于纳什维尔的 Riverbend 最高安全机构经历两次失败的致命注射处决尝试并幸存后，于周二恢复了意识。

她的律师在一份声明中表示：“虽然她的身体恢复情况令人瞩目，但关于她所承受之事的长期影响，仍存在重大疑问。”

1995 killing

“克里斯塔正在应对幸存于一次失败死刑执行后的深刻心理创伤，包括在认为自己即将死去时的恐惧、痛苦和不确定感。”

律师们补充道：“克里斯塔在注意力集中和记忆力方面仍面临认知挑战。”

派克因在1995, 1月残忍谋杀其19岁的青年就业队（Job Corps）同学科琳·斯莱默而被判处死刑，案发时她18岁。

她的法律团队原认为她在周一晚上已脑死亡，并将在次日被撤除生命维持系统——然而在周二早晨她苏醒，并在周三下午开始在帮助下行走，就在此前的几个小时。

律师们在声明中表示，她在死刑执行尝试期间受到严重伤害的双臂已开始愈合并恢复活动能力。

他们表示：“她的肺部情况良好，并已开始正常饮食。医生对她的身体恢复情况感到乐观。”

首例

派克原将成为田纳西州200多年来首位被执行死刑的女性，但结果却成为了美国首位被认为在注射死刑剂量后幸存的人。

即将离任的田纳西州州长比尔·李暂停了今年所有剩余的死刑执行，并下令对出错原因进行独立审查。

在声明中，派克的律师再次呼吁州长李将派克的刑期改为终身监禁，且没有

痴呆症死囚获赦免

佛罗里达州服刑时间最长的死囚之一在被报道患有痴呆症后被免于执行死刑——在他被判定犯有酷刑谋杀罪50年后。

佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯周四撤回了威廉·汤普森的死刑执行令——就在这位74岁的杀手原定执行死刑的前五天。汤普森因在1976, 残忍殴打致死萨莉·伊维斯特而被判刑，当时的警察称此案为迈阿密-戴德县“最凶残的谋杀案”。

德桑蒂斯在发给佛罗里达州立监狱监狱长兰德尔·波尔克的信中并未解释为何撤回汤普森的死刑执行令，该信件已被《邮报》查阅。他此前在9月11日才签署了死刑执行令。

但此次撤回正值有报道称汤普森患有痴呆症之际。

格里芬在迈阿密“购买并建设城市”

作者：玛丽·K·雅各布（MARY K. JACOB）

很多亿万富翁在迈阿密买豪宅。但肯·格里芬似乎在购买一座城市的零件清单。

这位城堡投资（Citadel）创始人被福布斯估算财富约为600 亿美元 billion，他已经控制了金融区的大部分街区、星岛上的七块地皮以及一个用于停靠其308英尺游艇的私人码头。9月30, 他又增加了一个大学校园。

格里芬以11 亿美元 billion现金完成了对温伍德（Wynwood）约30英亩土地的交易，卖方公司将此次收购称为佛罗里达州有史以来规模最大的土地集结。同一天，卡内基梅隆大学表示他将捐赠30 亿美元 billion，校方称这是个人向高等教育捐赠的最大一笔款项。这笔资金的三分之二被指定用于在该地建立迈阿密分校，计划容纳3,500多名学生和近300名教职员工。建设定于2027, 开始，首批学生预计于2028年入学。

志向远大

一位消息人士将他在迈阿密持续的投资比作“一个在城市中建立自己城市的男人”。

格里芬本人也没有低估这件事。

“能将美国最顶尖的大学之一带到迈阿密，将在未来的几个世纪里改变这座城市的根本结构，”他在上周的公开评论中表示。“这可能是我一生中影响最深远的投资——无论对于迈阿密还是对于我们的国家。”

那么，是否真的有一个男人正在这座“魔幻之城”内部缝合出他自己的城镇？

卡内基梅隆大学温伍德校区

他才刚刚开始：Citadel 首席执行官肯·格里芬（插图）正为自己和他人向迈阿密房地产投入数十亿美元，包括他已经购买的资产以及他试图建设的项目。

一些经纪人对这个标签感到不安。

“我认为‘建立自己的城市’这种说法有点过于挑衅了，”道格拉斯·埃利曼（Douglas Elliman）的经纪人德文·凯（Devin Kay）告诉《邮报》。“但当你看到目前发生的事情规模时，你就能理解为什么人们会那样措辞。”

科科兰（Corcoran）的米克·杜尚（Mick Duchon）则提供了一个更温和的版本。

“并不是说他在城市中建立一座城市，而是他在帮助这座城市进化并创造深度，”他说。

账单证明了这种炒作。在布里克尔（Brickell），格里芬在 2022 年支付了 3.63亿美元 购买了一块 2.5 英亩的海滨地块，计划在那里建设一座 54 层的 Citadel 总部。他又花费 $286.500 万 购买了隔壁的办公大楼，买断了相邻一座 22 层公寓楼的所有单元（他打算将其拆除），并在蓝图中增加了 300 套公寓。今年 7 月，市政府同意以约 300万美元 的价格将一栋历史悠久的度假屋卖给他，那是该街区最后一块未被收购的地产。

在向北几英里处，他于 1 月与高盛地产（Goldman Properties）合作，以约 1.8亿美元 购买了 545wyn 办公楼。随后是来自开发商莫伊谢·马纳（Moishe Mana）的温伍德土地，马纳表示，他从 2009 年开始在该地区整合持仓，共花费了约 7000万美元。

刷新纪录

此外还有格里芬居住的地方。他在 2022 年支付了 $106.900 万 购买了一处椰林 Grove 庄园，这是迈阿密首套价格突破九位数的住宅。他在星岛（Star Island）的地块花费了约 1.69亿美元。由于那样规模的船只需要停泊点，他在终端岛（Terminal Island）获得了一座私人码头的批准，而那里拟建的直升机停机坪因噪音问题引起了附近公寓业主的强烈抗议。

经纪人们表示，购物清单本身并不重要，重要的是这些投资的总和。

“格里芬不仅仅是在购买迈阿密的房地产，他是在投资一座城市的基建，无论是商业、教育、住房还是人才，”凯说道。

杜尚认为，这所学校填补了长期以来困扰该市企业雄心的空白。

“部分大型公司历史上没有将总部迁至迈阿密的原因之一就是人才储备，”他说，并补充道格里芬正在“预埋未来的增长”并“为市场带来永久性”。

杜（Doe）寻找“告密者”

作者：帕特里克·赖利（PATRICK REILLY）

根据一批最新的短信显示，一名指控七名兄弟会成员对其进行帮派强奸的康奈尔大学学生，曾与其中一人合作试图寻找那个议论他们在派对上发生性关系的“告密者”——她声称他们需要“成熟起来”，并对发生的事情持有更开放的心态。

在一名学生现在声称自己被下药并强奸的 Chi Phi 兄弟会派对结束仅四天后，TMZ 获取的短信显示，简·杜（Jane Doe）惊慌地发短信给学生马修·英格尔斯（Matthew Ingalls），声称“所有人都知道”他们发生了性关系，这让她感到“压力极大”。

“名誉”

在原告抱怨某个“随机的贱人”向她的朋友们告密后，英格尔斯表示了同情。

“伙计，我真他妈不知道，这事儿简直让人沮丧透了，我知道这所学校里谣言传得有多快，”英格尔斯在回复中写道。他后来声称，自己才是那个在醉到无法同意的情况下被袭击的人。

“所有议论这件事的人都像在追星一样。一群无所事事、生活枯燥的人，”英格尔斯发短信说道。多伊随后称，英格尔斯是那起涉嫌发生在 2024 年的团伙强奸案的煽动者。

多伊表示，这些传闻“他妈的毁了我的生活”，并且她想要揪出那些“内鬼”。

“我的名誉被毁了，我感到无比羞愧。我他妈气疯了，因为不应该有这么多人知道这件事，而且我觉得我知道房间里有些内鬼是谁，”她给他发短信称。

阴森的房子：康奈尔大学校园内的 Chi Phi 兄弟会会所，据称团伙强奸案发生于此。

她补充说，传闻不仅像野火一样蔓延，而且每天都变得“他妈的越来越离谱”。

“愚蠢的贱人们就喜欢喋喋不休，而他们这么做恰恰说明他们因为各种原因嫉妒你，”英格尔斯反击道。

“唯一可耻的是这件事是如何传开的，以及人们如何没完没了地议论——坦白说，这只会让他们自己显得很糟糕，”他补充道。

多伊同意那些八卦者是“嫉妒”的，并威胁要殴打任何对发生的事情对她“指指点点”的人，同时也透露她在性观念方面很“开放”。

“……但大家也都得成熟点，因为性取向、性行为之类的东西正在发生变化，这类事情会变得越来越普遍，”她说，并补充道她“其实真的很开放”。

多伊后来表示，她怀疑另一名被她指控参与性侵的康奈尔兄弟会成员乔纳森·纽威尔（Jonathan Newell）泄露了消息。

“乔纳森绝对告诉别人了。我今天听到了一些风声，我知道他告诉别人了，”她给英格尔斯发短信称。

英格尔斯否认纽威尔说过任何话，并暗示可能是某些高年级学生在散布消息。

多伊回应称，一名找她对质的女学生“不告诉我她是听谁说的，因为那是她的一个朋友”。

英格尔斯道歉并承诺“这些白痴很快就会转移注意力，这件事就结束了”。

一周多以后，在 11 月 7 日，英格尔斯告诉多伊，他的前女友告诉他，他现在在校园里被贴上了性虐待者的标签——并询问多伊是否对他提出了这些指控。preilly@nypost.com

嫌疑人为派对“禁酒监督员”

被指控强奸一名同学的“康奈尔 7 人”兄弟会成员中，有一人是涉事派对的“禁酒监督员”——而涉案受害者在当晚她自己姐妹会举办的派对上同样担任此职。

乔纳森·纽威尔被列为该派对的“经过培训的活动监督员”。

《纽约时报》获得的大学文件显示，康奈尔大学的 Chi Phi 兄弟会在 2024 年 10 月 19 日举办了这场派对，而简·多伊指称，一场在药物影响下的三人性行为在这次派对上演变成了由多名兄弟会成员实施的持续数小时的团伙强奸。

这意味着纽威尔在官方职责上被要求在派对期间保持清醒，同时监督是否有未成年饮酒和过度拥挤的情况，并总体负责确保当晚所有人的安全。

在 Chi Phi 必须提前向学校提交的官方派对许可证中，他被列为禁酒监督员，该许可证允许派对从晚上 10:30 运行到午夜。

然而，据《时报》报道，纽威尔显然承认在那晚无视了禁酒监督员的要求——他告诉调查人员，在到达自己的派对之前，他在其他派对上狂饮啤酒和龙舌兰酒。

多伊也被列为她所在姐妹会派对的禁酒监督员，但在得知有其他人会接替她的职责后，她开始喝酒。

多伊指称她当时醉得无法给出同意。

所有被指控者均否认相关指控。

布朗克斯地铁砍伤事件

警方及消息人士称，一名持刀疯子在周五早高峰期间，在布朗克斯的一辆火车上砍伤了一名陌生人的脸部。

警方表示，受害者（27岁）在上午 9:10 左右乘坐一辆经过威廉斯布里奇（Williamsbridge）225街站的 2 号线北行火车，随后遭到袭击者用刀砍伤。

受害者被送往蒙蒂菲奥里医疗中心（Montefiore Medical Center），目前情况稳定。

执法部门消息人士称，此次袭击的动机尚不明确，但两人互不相识。

警方表示，嫌疑人最后一次被目击时身穿黑色连帽衫和海军蓝色运动裤，随后逃离现场。

此次袭击发生在前几天，当时纽约市警察局（NYPD）官员透露，截至 9 月的交通犯罪数量与去年同期相比略有上升。

警察局局长杰西卡·蒂施（Jessica Tisch）表示：“今年的犯罪数量比去年同期增加了 15 起，增幅为 0.9%。”

蒂施还透露，今年以来地铁系统中 48% 的重罪袭击是由在 NYPD 有记录的心理健康病史的人员实施的。

Metro-North “站”立之苦

交通部门官员表示，Metro-North 的乘客在未来两个周末将面临纽黑文线（New Haven Line）部分路段座位减少 30% 的情况。

根据大都会运输署（MTA）的消息，此次削减计划在 10 月 10-11 日和 10 月 17-18 日实施，届时康涅狄格州诺沃克（Norwalk）沃克桥（Walk Bridge）的施工将严重限制斯坦福（Stamford）以东的服务。

在纽黑文与大中央车站之间沿纽黑文线旅行的乘客应预留额外的出行时间，并预计由于可用列车少于典型周末而出现拥挤。

基根·艾伦（KEEGAN ALLEN） 被持枪抢劫。

演员在抢劫中受伤流血

《美少女的谎言》（Pretty Little Liars）明星基根·艾伦（Keegan Allen）周四晚上遭遇持枪和持刀抢劫——随后他称这证明了“西好莱坞不再安全”。

37岁的艾伦在高端超市 Laurel Supply 门外遭到两名蒙面男子威胁杀害并抢夺手表，导致其受伤流血。

“这两个家伙击中我的头部，用枪和刀指着我，然后逃跑了，”艾伦在遭遇袭击后不久在 Instagram 上表示。“他们戴着面具，抢走了我的手表。他们抢走了我的手表。该死。”

洛杉矶县治安官办公室的一位代表向 TMZ 确认了细节，称这起恐怖事件发生在西好莱坞的圣莫尼卡大道（Santa Monica Boulevard），当时两名身穿全黑衣服的男子接近了该演员。

抢劫的监控录像显示，两名蒙面男子接近艾伦，当时他似乎正在商店停车场将其物品放入卡车的后排乘客侧。

质疑：JD·万斯不确定福特胡德杀手尼达尔·哈桑（Nidal Hasan，见下方插图）的执行死刑过程是否会进行直播——并且他说如果直播，他不会观看。

由 乔什·克里斯滕森（JOSH CHRISTENSON）和 史蒂文·尼尔森（STEVEN NELSON）报道

华盛顿 —— 特朗普总统周五支持战争部通过枪决执行福特胡德大规模枪击案凶手的决定 —— 不过副总统 JD·万斯表示，他不会观看五角大楼计划的直播。

“我们正在对一个几年前杀害了 14 名士兵的人执行死刑，”总统周五在战争部长皮特·海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）宣布执行死刑将于 12 月 3 日进行直播并引发轰动后表示。

“通过枪决执行死刑 —— 而且，呃，这是他应得的。杀害并伤害了非常非常多的人。疯子。”

特朗普还表示，他签署批准了这项不同寻常的计划，即直播枪决前陆军精神科医生尼达尔·马利克·哈桑（Nidal Malik Hasan）。哈桑于 2009 年 11 月 5 日在德克萨斯州基地的一座医疗大楼内杀害了 13 人，并导致 32 人受伤。

“绝对地，我批准了，”特朗普周五在向记者谈到直播时说道。

“后果”

万斯在俄亥俄州进行竞选活动期间早些时候表示，他不相信这次处决实际上能向公众公开观看。

“我不确定这是否真的会发生，”万斯说道，并补充道，“如果最终通过直播播出，我不会观看。”

携带激光瞄准手枪的部队，随后承认这次枪击旨在阻止美国军队前往阿富汗杀害他的穆斯林同胞。

他被判定犯有 13 项预谋谋杀罪和 32 项预谋谋杀未遂罪，并在 2013 年的审判后被判处死刑。

五角大楼官员已确认，哈桑将被枪决，执行地点将在犯罪现场——胡德堡。

“我们将确保人们能够观看，确保它是公开的，因为人们需要明白，这类行为会带来严重的后果，”赫格塞斯说道。

“一名陆军少校背叛了他的国家，一名激进的伊斯兰主义者在胡德堡杀害了一群美国人。当然，我们就在胡德堡执行，”他补充道。

最后一次通过枪决执行的军事处决发生在第二次世界大战期间，一些共和党人对此表示不安。

“塞内卡曾警告说，罗马血腥的奇观腐蚀了观看它们的人。当一个文明将处决作为一种娱乐形式而培养出胃口时，这个文明就会被侵蚀，”参议员约翰·柯蒂斯（共和党-犹他州）在一份声明中表示。

但一名在血腥大屠杀中被枪击 7 次后幸存的陆军中士表示，他期待参加哈桑的处决，以

哈桑在向他的同僚开火时大喊“Allahu Akbar”（阿拉伯语，意为“真主至大”）。

“看着他的眼睛。”

“我会去那里（观看），在他们扣动扳机之前，我想让他看着我的眼睛，我也看着他的眼睛，我想让他知道，‘伙计，你失败了。我依然在这里，’”

罗德岛州一名幼儿被刺

警方表示，一名 2 岁女孩在与母亲被一名疯子刺伤后正“为生存而战”——尽管该男子曾因家庭暴力被捕，并因刺伤另外两名儿童而被捕，但此前仍处于自由状态。

46 岁的内尔森·布兰科（Nelson Blanco）在罗德岛州普罗维登斯被捕，涉嫌周三在光天化日之下在街头袭击该幼儿及其母亲。

母亲和女孩因身体和面部被刺伤被紧急送往医院。普罗维登斯警察局周五告诉《邮报》，母亲已经获释，但她的女儿仍处于危殆状态。

这并非布兰科第一次被指控刺伤儿童。据《普罗维登斯日报》报道，他曾在 2003 年被指控在两名 7 岁男孩在停车场玩耍时刺伤他们，但最终在该案中被判定不具备受审能力。

飞机剧烈颠簸导致9人受伤

周五凌晨，一架飞往纽约的飞机遭遇严重湍流，导致至少九名乘客和机组人员住院，飞机在下降25,000英尺后被迫紧急降落。

一架哥伦比亚航空（Avianca）飞机于当地时间周四晚上10:40从哥伦比亚麦德林起飞前往肯尼迪国际机场（JFK），但在飞行三小时后被迫转向并在迈阿密降落。

这架空客 A320 在向北飞越牙买加和古巴时爬升至约35,000英尺，随后在飞行约 $2 \frac{1}{2}$ 小时后剧烈下降。

FlightRadar24 的数据显示，该飞机在几分钟内下降了25,000英尺，随后在迈阿密降落。

迈阿密-戴德消防救援局官员在飞机于凌晨3:30左右着陆后表示，“多名患者”受伤，其中至少一名伤者伤势严重，被紧急送往创伤中心。

航空公司在声明中表示：“客户和员工的安全是，并将始终是我们运营的基石。”目前尚不清楚机上共有多少名乘客和机组人员。

卢克石油的“实地”之日

俄罗斯交易将为美国带来数十亿美元？

莉迪亚·莫伊尼汉（LYDIA MOYNIHAN）

特朗普政府正在支持一项针对俄罗斯石油巨头卢克石油（Lukoil）海外资产的交易，一名政府内部人士告诉《邮报》，该交易有望为美国财政部带来数十亿美元，并使关闭的炼油产能重新上线。

一个由投资者托德·伯利（Todd Boehly）和美国国际开发金融公司（DFC）领导的财团正寻求购买分布在亚洲、欧洲、非洲和北美的油田，这些油田的日产量超过 350,000 桶油当量——大致相当于美国去年新增的原油产量——以及位于保加利亚、罗马尼亚和荷兰的三家炼油厂，其合计炼油能力为每日 350,000 桶。

油井喷涌：在土库曼斯坦一次峰会上被拍到的俄罗斯领导人弗拉基米尔·普京，很可能会为这项可能帮助其国家的交易而鼓掌。

官员们表示，这些资产的估值约为 200 亿美元 billion，且该机构的持股结构确保利润将流入财政部的金库。

与私人财团共同参与竞标的 DFC 官员表示，签署协议可能会在未来两周内进行。然而，考虑到涉及如此多利益相关者的交易之复杂性，情况仍处于变动之中。

新方法

这些消息人士将即将到来的收购视为一项证明，即华盛顿可以帮助执行那些如果没有政府参与就过于冒险的敏感交易，且这些交易最终将使美国纳税人受益。

“DFC 从未进行过这样的交易。这在该机构中是史无前例的，”一名机构官员表示，他认为该机构可以在外交政策中发挥越来越重要的作用。

虽然这个鲜为人知的机构提供了资金，但其更重要的贡献是给私人投资者带来了信心，使他们敢于追求一项原本可能被认为政治风险过高的交易。

一名官员表示，DFC “并非政治风险保险”，但将其股权投资描述为给其他投资者提供了保证。

财团中包括阿拉伯联合酋长国和卡塔尔在内的其他国家的参与引起了关注。但官员们表示，国际参与对于确保卢克石油接受该交易至关重要。

该交易结构还将防止俄罗斯在制裁维持期间获得意外之财。俄罗斯的款项将不是以现金形式，而是存放在莫斯科无法触及的国际账户中，但如果制裁被解除，这些款项价值数十亿美元。官员们表示，莫斯科接受这些条款是因为这些股份仍然具有巨大的价值。

在谈判继续期间，官员们拒绝透露完整的财务机制，使得政府的风险敞口以及财政部任何款项到账的时间点尚不明确。

先前的胜利

虽然增加离岸炼油厂可以缓解燃料市场的压力，但更直接的益处将是加强盟友的能源供应，并将更多燃料投入全球市场；鉴于欧洲几乎没有其他能源替代方案，这已成为一项国家安全优先事项。

美国国际发展金融公司（DFC）成立于 2019 年，并已进行了关键投资——包括刚果民主共和国的钴和安哥拉的稀土。它甚至构建了特朗普总统的乌克兰关键矿产基金。自特朗普第一任期以来，DFC 的资金储备增长了三倍多——从 600 亿美元 billion 跃升至 2050 亿美元 billion，以对抗中国被称为“一带一路”倡议的全球影响力活动。

在有报道称贾里德·库什纳（Jared Kushner）和史蒂夫·威特科夫（Steve Witkoff）参与其中后，该交易也面临审查，但 DFC 官员表示，两人在谈判此次交易中没有发挥任何作用。

博利（Boehly）在 2025 年 12 月向超级政治行动委员会 MAGA Inc 捐赠的百万美元款项引发了批评，但参与谈判的官员表示，他是唯一能够让华盛顿和莫斯科双方都达成协议的人。

博利财团并非唯一的竞标者。凯雷集团（The Carlyle Group）声称在 1 月份签署了购买协议，但熟悉该流程的人士表示，该协议从未具有约束力，且凯雷集团从未成为首选竞标者。

一名 DFC 官员表示，该财团成员仍然是“唯一拥有完成此次交易所需所有拼图碎片的人”。

特朗普：我们将购买普京的柴油

华盛顿 —— 特朗普总统周五宣布，美国将购买大量俄罗斯柴油以应对飙升的燃料成本 —— 在期中选举前夕，通过重大外交政策转向来降低成本。

“我刚刚与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京进行了一次非常成功的讨论，双方达成协议，俄罗斯将立即向美国和全球市场供应超过 300,000 吨柴油燃料，11 月期间再供应 500,000 吨，随后立即供应 1,000,000 吨，”特朗普在 Truth Social 上写道。

“此外，根据其柴油炼油厂的情况，俄罗斯将在短时间内交付 3,000,000 吨柴油燃料。”

特朗普于 9 月 18 日签署了《2026 年林赛·格雷厄姆制裁俄罗斯和伊朗法案》，该法案将于 10 月 19, 生效，对俄罗斯商品征收 500% 的关税，并允许对购买俄罗斯燃料的国家实施二级制裁。

由于美国与伊朗的战争推高了能源成本，特朗普在针对俄罗斯入侵乌克兰的经济处罚与宽限之间摇摆不定。斯蒂文·尼尔森（Steven Nelson）

“铁三”回归！纽约市铁人三项赛重启

作者：ANNA MEDARIS

终于等到这一刻！

在沉寂两年后，这座城市唯一的游泳-骑行-跑步赛事——现更名为“大苹果铁人三项赛”（Big Apple Triathlon）——将于本周六回归，预计约 1,300 名耐力运动爱好者将参与其中（具体是指跳入哈德逊河）。

如果一切按计划进行，参加最长距离组的运动员将沿着海岸线游泳近 1 英里，随后沿着西侧公路骑行 25 英里，最后在中央公园及其周边奔跑 6.2 英里。

混乱的组织与天气困扰。

这项赛事此前被称为“纽约市铁人三项赛”（New York City Triathlon），始于 2001 年。但其近期的历史一直波折不断，深受日程安排混乱和天气问题的困扰。

“我相信从 2017 年起的所有届赛事，我们要么不得不缩短跑步距离，要么缩短骑行距离，或者取消游泳环节，”Life Time 的前赛事总监 Alex De Gracia 告诉《纽约邮报》。（他的组织在 2023 年将该赛事出售。）

高温挑战

例如在 2019 年，这场当时的夏季盛会因极端高温而被取消。在 2021 年和 2023 年，水质问题导致游泳环节关闭，运动员被重新引导至“跑-骑-跑”模式。在 2022 年，由于预报气温将达到 90 华氏度，骑行和跑步距离被削减了至少一半。

而在 2024 年的赛事开放注册之前，组织者就选择了放弃。虽然他们试图通过将赛事移至秋季来避开酷暑，但他们与市政府无法就一个可行的日期达成一致。当地的铁人三项运动员们随之转向其他赛事。

现在，在新组织者 Alpha Win 的领导下，并选定在初秋举行，发令枪将再次响起。参赛者——其中约一半来自市外，且大多数人为获得参赛资格支付了 350 美元至 625 美元不等——希望这次能顺利进行。

“当我听到这个消息时非常兴奋；我热爱纽约市铁人三项赛，”32 岁的曼哈顿律师 Matt Stern 说道，他参加了 2023 年的比赛，并称该赛道为“史诗级”。

邮报观点 野球快评 城市观察：为什么纽约不清理运河街

MLB的数学极客们梦想着指节球的复兴

Bill Kostroun / New York Post 指节球皇室：菲尔·尼克罗（Phil Niekro）、R.A. 迪基（R.A. Dickey）和蒂姆·韦克菲尔德（Tim Wakefield）在2012年展示了他们最顶尖的握球姿势。

本周，坦帕湾光芒队终结了洋基队的赛季。在此过程中，他们可能复兴了触击（bunt）——一种经典的内场棒球战术。

触击击球手轻轻拍击球，而不是试图将其击出场外。触击有多种形式——拖击、牺牲触击、自杀式挤压——这些曾占据每支球队战术手册的一章。

随后赛伯计量学（sabermetrics）出现，数学奇才们计算了数据。他们宣布触击是对一次绝佳击球机会的浪费。

也许数学家们过度修正了。今年，光芒队——一家无法在强力击球手身上挥金如土的小市场球队——进行了134次触击，是十年来任何球队触击次数最多的，并由此取得了美国联盟的最佳战绩。

“这关乎于继续理解什么能影响胜利，”光芒队前台管理人员埃里克·尼安德（Erik Neander）解释道。在《点球钱》（Moneyball）时代，触击已变得如此罕见，以至于对方野手已经不知道如何处理。

鉴于光芒队在旧式战术上的成功，棒球接下来的下一个大回归会是什么？我押注在指节球（knuckleball）上——这项运动中最具传奇色彩的投球方式。

在一个传统投手追求越来越高的球速和更高旋转率的时代，指节球飞行缓慢，而且——这是关键——几乎不旋转。这使得它以棒球界最顶尖的科学家都无法完全解释的原因而混乱地四处跳跃。

“那种球的情况太复杂了。任何试图理解它的尝试几乎都是徒劳的，”犹他州立大学机械与航空航天工程教授巴顿·史密斯（Barton Smith）说道——他可能是地球上最了解投球为何会产生位移的人。

然而，指节球在MLB中几乎消失了。为什么？

不要责怪赛伯计量学，克里斯托弗·隆（Christopher Long）说道。他是一位受过罗格斯大学训练的数学家，在迈克尔·刘易斯（Michael Lewis）2003年关于数据驱动管理的著作《点球钱》颠覆比赛后，他曾为多家MLB球队工作。“我的工作就是寻找优势。识别更好的球员、更便宜的球员或更年轻的球员，”他告诉我。

“我曾深信，获得优势的一种方法就是建立一个指节球投手的培养管线。”投球缓慢的指节球投手可以随心所欲地投球，而像菲尔·尼克罗和霍伊特·威尔海姆（Hoyt Wilhelm）这样的大师在竞争到40岁后期时赢得了数百场比赛。

他原以为培养新的指节球投手会很容易。“一名传统的大联盟投手需要极快的速球，外加多种具有不同旋转方式的其他球种。他必须能够击中好球区周围的不同点。这是一个很高的要求，”他说。

“而指节球投手每次都以同样的方式将同样的球投向同一个点。这看起来要求低得多。”但事实并非如此：结果证明指节球太难控制，如果你投出一个带旋转的球，击球手会将其击向太空。

而且，重新训练一名传统的职业投手在不带旋转的情况下投出好球，确实是一个巨大的要求。高科技投球设计实验室——那些教授投手如“横扫球”（sweeper）和“踢变速球”（kick-change）等恶劣新创新的实验室——也未能创造出指节球投手。

威尔海姆可能知道这个秘密。这位名人堂成员曾建议他的白袜队队友威尔伯·伍德（Wilbur Wood），后者当时作为一名速球-曲球投手正陷入困境：“除非你小时候投过指节球，否则现在不要尝试投它。”

伍德的父亲确实在他12岁时教会了他这种投法——伍德随后成为了指节球大师。与触击不同，指节球需要数年时间才能真正精通。

“投球方式太多，需要调整的地方也太多了，”汤姆·坎迪奥蒂（Tom Candiotti）说道，他凭借 10 岁时学会的指球（knuckleball）在 MLB 赢得了 151 场比赛。“而且即便你找到了一个指球投得非常好的人，当他站在投手丘上，面对击球手、裁判和 50,000 名观众时，那个指球很快就可能变成旋转球。”

正如埃迪·甘博亚（Eddie Gamboa）所言——他在 2016 年效力于光芒队期间的 MLB 指球生涯仅持续了 13 局——“指球就像那个让你抓狂到想拔头发的前女友。”

但球队们仍在尝试挖掘那些在野外发现的指球投手。2023 年，双城队给了康涅狄格大学（UConn）投手德文·柯比-威廉姆斯（Devin Kirby-Williams）一个机会——尽管他在大学期间只投过三次指球。他现在在小联盟中徘徊。2025 年，底特律老虎队在肯尼·塞尔瓦（Kenny Serwa）的指球视频走红后签下了他。今年夏天，当教士队裁掉 MLB 唯一的指球投手马特·沃尔德伦（Matt Waldron）时，他先后被蓝鸟队和国民队接纳。

所以，指球尚未消亡。而且很有可能，那些让触击（bunt）回归的“金球理论”支持者们也会为其发声。

布莱恩·加夫尼（Brian Gaffney）是《硬指球学校：我的三个儿子与棒球最狂野的投球》（School of Hard Knucks: My Three Sons and Baseball's Wildest Pitch）一书的作者。

“运河街（Canal Street）的假货市场就在光天化日之下运作，”《城市杂志》（City Journal）的丹尼尔·爱德华·罗森（Daniel Edward Rosen）感叹道，这是因为“执法不一且起诉不力”——以及“证明重罪指控的法律门槛过高”。为了对造假行为提起“重罪指控”，检察官“必须证明假货对应的正品零售价值超过了 $100,000, 的法定阈值”，这解释了为什么“运河街的重罪逮捕极少演变为重罪起诉”。但“纽约市警察局（NYPD）在运河街维持持续存在也一直很困难”。随后，“在三月，市政府撤销了”针对无证摊贩的刑事处罚；“市政府对摊贩管理的整体姿态是趋向于减少执法，而非加强执法”。

中东：加沙人终于吸取了教训

《外交事务》（Foreign Affairs）杂志的一篇名为《巴勒斯坦人想要两国方案》的文章，被《评论》（Commentary）的塞斯·曼德尔（Seth Mandel）观察到是一篇关于巴以冲突的“罕见的乐观文章”。其作者“回顾了随时间变化的巴勒斯坦民意调查，并显示出一种明显的谈判意愿趋势”，目前加沙人的对话意愿甚至高于约旦河西岸的巴勒斯坦人。作者似乎认为这种“实用主义是凭空掉下来的”，而原因其实显而易见：身在加沙的“巴勒斯坦人发动了一场战争随后战败，现在他们愿意通过谈判结束敌对行动”。他们“终于意识到拖延是净负面影响”。过去，以色列总是会“开出更优厚的”条件；而现在，它“终于接受了对方的拒绝”。巴勒斯坦人终于意识到，“拒绝结束冲突会让他们蒙受损失”。

右翼观点：必须惩罚“法律战”

《联邦主义者》（The Federalist）的本·温加滕（Ben Weingarten）认为，“过去十年针对特朗普的法律战”旨在“使政治对手失声、破产并入狱”，这已将威胁升级到了“新高度”。杰克·史密斯（Jack Smith）的“团队代表拜登政府和民主党进行了‘摸底式’调查”。由于他们营造的这种“老大哥”氛围，“消息来源将会枯竭”，而“那些不再被揭露的滥用行为将会恶化并增加”。我们应当要求“正义”，“追究违规者的责任”，并“确保他们被禁止再次在政府部门工作”。遗憾的是，基于过去的劣迹，“我们可以预见这些几乎都不会发生”。对“武器化”和法律战的漠视最终将“对我们的共和国造成致命打击”。最糟糕的是，法律战这个“精灵一旦被释放，就再也无法被关回瓶子里”。

言论自由观察：克利斯案是一个警告

为什么一个英国穆斯林团体要向 Prevent（一个“旨在防止人们成为恐怖分子的政府计划”）举报喜剧传奇人物约翰·克利斯（John Cleese）？《华盛顿邮报》的安德鲁·多伊尔（Andrew Doyle）提出了这个问题。这是因为他嘲讽了他们的宗教，并称自己为“伊斯兰怀疑论者”——这很难说是恐怖主义的迹象。与此同时，同一个团体却表达了对“伊斯兰哈里发国、沙里亚（伊斯兰原则和法律）刑法以及身体圣战”的支持。但克利斯据称犯了更严重的错误：“文化民族主义”，即可能认为“西方社会正受到大规模移民的威胁”。Prevent“几乎肯定”不会认真对待这一指控，“但此类投诉能够被提出这一事实本身就表明，关于言论自由的旧共识已不再稳固”。

约翰·克利斯

民主党人：华盛顿特区需要“支出纪律”

《华尔街日报》（The Wall Street Journal）的拉姆·埃马纽埃尔（Rahm Emanuel）主张，“随着无止境的赤字惊扰债券市场，恢复财政理智将需要支出纪律”并削减“税收支出”。“税法中的各种漏洞”不仅“代价高昂，而且鼓励了错误的行为”。事实上，税法如此复杂，以至于“一些富裕家庭的孩子需要参加研讨会来学习如何管理遗产”，尽管在国税局（IRS）目前拥有“充足信息”的情况下，理论上“近一半的纳税人”可以通过“点击一个按钮”完成申报。税法应当被“收紧”，防止富人以免税方式“抵押其资产借款”，并“堵住那些允许公司将利润存放于海外避税天堂以逃避美国税收的漏洞”。

扭曲的优先级

曼达尼市长对一名涉嫌非法移民帮派成员的雷霆之势的辩护，再次将他极其混乱的优先级暴露在聚光灯下。

霍楚州长以及所有其他在联邦执法人员枪击奥斯卡·贝尔加尔（后者试图开车将其撞倒）后大肆叫嚣的纽约政客们亦然。

“今晚，数百万邻居在担心他们走在我们的街道上是否安全，”市长咆哮道。他们担心什么？在曼达尼看来，是美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）。

没错：非法移民暴徒根本不需要担心。事实上，这位市长竟然将贝尔加尔称为一名同为“纽约人”的人。

抱歉，市长先生：普通的纽约人会对此持有异议。不过，曼达尼这种反ICE的戏剧化表演让他能够转移话题，掩盖他在10月 7 日大屠杀三周年纪念日时冷落犹太人的可憎行径。

霍楚也一样糟糕：“纽约人今晚感到愤怒，”她愤怒地指责道。哈？如果真是这样，那是因为人们意识到，一个曾与警方发生冲突且具有潜在暴力倾向的暴徒，竟然因为她的原因而能自由地在街上游荡。

事实如下：奥斯卡·贝尔加尔是一名非法移民，且涉嫌是Trinitarios帮派成员。警方表示，他此前曾被指控犯有重窃罪、抢劫罪以及持有致命武器罪。联邦政府指出，他将汽车当作武器，试图撞击试图逮捕他的ICE特工，将车辆对准联邦执法人员——即便车里还坐着他 5 岁的幼儿。他正是曼达尼及其同伙反复优先考虑（而非真正的纽约人）的那类人：非法移民暴徒、反犹主义者、恐怖分子同情者……

与此同时，如果纽约不执行“避难所”政策并将此人移交，这次事件本可以 100% 避免。根据美国国土安全部的数据，贝尔加尔在 2023, 12月曾在纽约被捕，但随后又被释放回街头。

而现在，霍楚要求ICE停止在全市的所有执法行动。他们真的不希望任何坏人离开街头。他们决心彻底终结执法。

我们必须面对事实：像曼达尼和霍楚这样的民主党人，宁愿给移民当局——以及他们的当地警方合作伙伴——戴上手铐，也不愿让街道变得安全。而且他们不会停止，直到选民通过投票箱向他们发出停止并终止通知。

总检察长辩论揭露的真相

在周四晚上的辩论中，总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯（Letitia James）在面对其竞选对手萨里塔·科马蒂雷迪（Saritha Komartireddy）时，在机智、法律技巧和综合素质上均被对方完胜。

面对资深刑事检察官科马蒂雷迪发起的猛烈攻势，詹姆斯显得措手不及，在镜头前局促不安。

在被问及她在处理暴力犯罪、医疗补助（Medicaid）欺诈、性侵以及严重精神疾病方面的糟糕记录时，詹姆斯依赖于两个惯用答案：“这不是我的职责”以及……“特朗普”。她提出了一个荒谬的论点，称科马蒂雷ddy作为联邦恐怖分子检察官以及美国缉毒局（DEA）参谋长的深厚经验，反而使她不适合担任纽约最高执法官一职，因为总检察长“专注于民事事务而非刑事事务”。

对于一个更倾向于利用职权追求政治化全国性案件，以推进全国民主党议程和个人政治生涯，而非解决影响纽约人生活问题的政客来说，这是一个方便的脱身之计。

自 2018 年以来，低声念叨“特朗普”一直是詹姆斯在全州范围内开展政治生涯的关键。当时她在初选活动中誓言要翻遍总统被取消的支票和小额现金账户，寻找能将其绳之以法的把柄。

事实上，她现在仍在试图对付特朗普：今年 6 月，她解雇了一名检察官，后者抱怨被强迫寻找总统并不存在的内幕交易污点。举报人丹尼尔·威森费尔德（Daniel Wiesenfeld）忧心地表示：“蒂什（Tish）是老板，而蒂什想要的，蒂什总能得到。”

詹姆斯将她的办公室变成了政治法律战的发射台。与此同时，自她就职以来，纽约市的重大犯罪率上升了 27%。

她不仅是个空壳，而且更糟。希望观看辩论的选民们能看清，纽约现在的总检察长是个怎样的骗子——以及一个真正的总检察长应该是怎样的。

颁给……反犹主义的诺贝尔奖

诺贝尔委员会再次令自己蒙羞，将和平奖授予了纳瓦内特姆·皮莱（Navanethem Pillay）。这位南非法律活动家、前联合国人权事务高级专员，以其极端的反以色列偏见而闻名。

皮莱的主要“资格”似乎在于她诬陷以色列犯有“种族灭绝”罪。但她对以色列的痴迷偏见几十年来一直是其职业生涯的标志。多年来，她诬称以色列是一个“种族隔离”国家，尽管在那里的犹太人和阿拉伯人享有平等权利——而这在南非真正的种族隔离时期从未实现过。

2021 年，在哈马斯对以色列发动上一次战争后，皮莱领导了一项单方面的联合国调查，针对以色列涉嫌违反巴勒斯坦人权利的行为。她甚至一度将以色列与哈马斯的战争比作卢旺达种族灭绝。就连拜登政府的人也对此感到厌倦，并要求终止她那个独立国际委员会的“kangaroo court”（形式主义法庭）。

与此同时，皮莱却忽视了其他国家（包括世界上一些最糟糕的独裁政权）实际发生的人权侵害。

她对以色列的妖魔化代价沉重：这助长了反犹主义，并给哈马斯和其他恐怖组织带来了希望，让他们认为只要继续攻击，最终就能获胜。

然而，皮莱加入了一个可疑获奖者的长名单，其中最著名的便是巴勒斯坦头号恐怖分子亚西尔·阿拉法特，后者随后又对以色列发动了另一次起义。

特朗普总统不必因为没有赢得该奖项而感到遗憾。这个奖不值得赢得。

“康奈尔 7 人组”指控反映高等教育的失败

议题：一名康奈尔大学前学生指控她在 2024 年被七名兄弟会成员强奸。

- 我不同意希瑟·麦克唐纳对简·多（Jane Doe）那种恶毒的定性（见 10 月 8 日《邮报》评论版“校园闹剧”一文）。

她并没有利用袭击指控来获利。我相信她被几名男子袭击并强奸，而这些男子还发短信邀请其他人加入袭击。该文章将注意力从实际事件转移到了评判受害者的品格上。

根据麦克唐纳的说法，“这件事唯一的好消息”是“简·多的同龄人将她视为‘荡妇’”。这正是为什么如此多的校园强奸案没有被举报的原因。

芭芭拉·斯坦库斯（Barbara Stankus） 珍珠河（Pearl River）

学习技术技能是更好的选择。

马克·弗里德曼（Mark Friedman） 布鲁克林（Brooklyn）不具备处理严重至强奸指控等刑事案件的能力。一名调查员的案件卷宗中可能同时处理着一台被盗笔记本电脑和一起强奸指控。

在谋杀案中，大学会退到一边。在涉嫌强奸的案件中，大学也需要考虑这样做。如果非要发挥作用，校园警察可以通过保存证据、保护犯罪现场和搜集证人来提供协助。

如果康奈尔大学校长愿意重新评估，他可能需要将此纳入考虑。

- 按照其惯常风格，《邮报》阐明了由于诸多模糊之处，要定罪康奈尔案件中的任何一名涉案男子将多么困难（见 10 月 3 日“案件将难以定罪”一文）。

然而，不模糊的事实是，午夜之后不会发生任何好事。在一个完美的世界里，学生持有酒精或药物应当被直接开除。安东尼·帕克斯（Anthony Parks） 花园城市（Garden City）

- 康奈尔大学的这起事件现在已经过去两年了，但这群狼依然没有受到法律制裁。据称，两名学生被开除，其余五名被允许继续学业。

几名兄弟会成员不得不写论文作为惩罚，仿佛这样就能洗涤他们的灵魂。该兄弟会现在已被关闭，但它将永远被人们记得为——我相信——简·多被“康奈尔 7 人组”强奸的地方。

唐关于伊朗核武的警告

- 米兰达·德文（Miranda Devine）为特朗普总统所说的或所做的每一件出格的事情寻找借口（见10月 8 日，“民主党人的绝望且夸张的谎言”）。

议题：特朗普总统在最近的一次集会上关于伊朗摧毁洛杉矶或圣迭戈的言论。

当他谈到伊朗的核威胁时，他说：“让他们摧毁洛杉矶吧；让他们摧毁圣迭戈吧。这是一个很小的代价，”人群发出了巨大的欢呼声。

当他选择引用加利福尼亚州的两个自由派城市时，他非常清楚自己暗示了什么。

他并没有说：“让他们摧毁海湖庄园吧。这是一个很小的代价。”

此外，“让他们摧毁”而非“他们可能会摧毁”这些措辞，显然暗示的是鼓励而非警告。

梅辛的教训

共和党可以争取纽约市的民主党人

爱与秩序：Komatireddy 以一个常识性的政纲竞选州总检察长——而民主党人正在倾听。

几十年来，黛博拉·梅辛（Debra Messing）一直是民主党的宠儿——她曾为希拉里·克林顿助选，为辛西娅·尼克松（Cynthia Nixon）竞选州长捐款，并且是好莱坞对唐纳德·特朗普最激烈的批评者之一。然而上周，她支持共和党人布鲁斯·布莱克曼（Bruce Blakeman）挑战州长霍楚尔（Gov. Hochul）的竞选。

为什么？出于实际原因：攀升的公用事业账单、进入曼哈顿的过路费，以及由于霍楚尔的管理不善而选择放弃并离开的邻居们。此外，作为一名公开支持以色列且称曼达尼市长为“仇恨美国的圣战者”的人，梅辛有充分的理由对一名对他卑躬屈膝的州长感到不满。

“我出生在这里。这是我爱的城市，”梅辛告诉布莱克曼，“但它不再是我所爱的那个城市了。”

像黛博拉·梅辛这样的人很多：他们是终身民主党人和前进步主义者，现在以难以置信且日益疏离的目光看待这个政党。我知道——因为我就是其中之一。

这意味着这里有一个绝佳的机会，在纽约建立一个由共和党人、渴望变革的独立人士以及幻灭的民主党人组成的、旨在击败民主社会党（DSA）的联盟。这是回归理性中道的唯一路径——而那些在这个城市纳税、创业、买房和抚养孩子的人们，实际上就生活在那个中道地带。

去年，我跨党派以共和党候选人的身份竞选，对抗极进步主义的曼哈顿地区检察官阿尔文·布拉格（Alvin Bragg），以打击那些让我们的城市变得不安全的纵容犯罪政策。“你是我投票给的第一个共和党人，”无数曼哈顿人告诉我——我获得了 100,000 票，其中超过一半来自民主党人或独立人士。

这不足以赢得选举，但它证明了即使在唐纳德·特朗普时代，仍有大量登记在册的民主党人对极左政策感到厌倦，以至于愿意投票给共和党人。而今年，布莱克曼并不是唯一一个吸引对立阵营关注的当地共和党人。

卡罗琳·辛克尔（Caroline Shinkle）是曼哈顿 NY-12 选区一名优秀的共和党国会候选人，她刚刚获得了对冲基金经理比尔·阿克曼（Bill Ackman）的支持，后者长期以来一直是民主党的捐赠者。

竞选总检察长的前联邦检察官兼 DEA 幕僚长萨里塔·科马蒂雷迪（Saritha Komatireddy）在民调中的支持率也在上升——且在周四晚上的首次辩论中，她以令人印象深刻的专业能力完胜莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯（Letitia James）。

科马蒂雷迪猛烈抨击詹姆斯，指责其任期内医疗补助（Medicaid）欺诈追回金额“骤降”，未能处理患者虐待投诉，且拒绝采取行动应对日益增加的反犹太仇恨犯罪。她巧妙地通过分享自己高风险怀孕的经历，化解了詹姆斯试图在堕胎问题上攻击她的企图。

与詹姆斯不同，科马蒂雷迪能立即说出她钦佩的一位前任总检察长——当被问到最近读的一本书时，她迷人地回答是《小蓝卡车》（Little Blue Truck），那是她幼儿最喜欢的一本书。

布莱克曼、辛克尔和科马蒂雷迪都在提供一种能够吸引广大中间阶层的常识性治理方法。但要真正获胜，他们需要具备当地知识和动员能力、能够引导选民投票的实地操作人员——而这种能力在纽约市的共和党人中几乎已经消失殆尽。

DSA 拥有数十年的先发优势。还有资金：“共产主义走廊”的维持成本并不低。拿薪水的领导层、昂贵的新办公室，以及现在部分由我们纳税人的钱在市政厅运行的社交媒体机器，支撑着他们的胜利。

但如果能做到以下三件事，“理智联盟”——共和党人、独立人士和不满的民主党人——可以迅速追赶上来。

首先，我们需要让纽约人相信，民主党初选并不是唯一的选择。共和党人需要将“建立联盟”作为口号，这意味着在每一次大选中都要派出强有力的候选人——拒绝让民主党人在没有竞争的情况下胜出。

我们需要投资于那些能够招募、培训并资助新一代共和党候选人和竞选工作人员的组织——这些组织应当像民主社会党（DSA）那样，全年与我们社区的选民保持沟通。

此外，我们需要登记更多的独立选民和共和党人，并发起一场运动，促使那些心灰意冷的民主党人离开该党。无党派选民已经是纽约增长最快的群体——每一个离开民主党阵营的选民都在发出一个强烈的信号：初选不再需要决定每一次选举。

一些纽约民主党人深陷对特朗普的仇恨之中，以至于他们永远不会投票给任何与他有关的人。但梅辛（Messing）证明了这种厌恶并非不可逾越的障碍。

无论如何，她正在转向，因为她面前的这场选举关乎她的城市，而非华盛顿。这表明了共和党如何在纽约市竞争：通过建立一个专注于本地议题的本地品牌——包括生活成本、公共安全、生活质量、优质学校和高效政府。

要组建一个准备投票给共和党的纽约市选民联盟，看起来像是一项规模巨大的挑战，一场大卫与歌利亚式的战斗。但就像拿着弹弓与巨人作战一样，这正是赢得扭转局面的胜利之法。

加强美国基地 —— 否则将面临失败

温斯顿·丘吉尔曾说过，“战争不是靠撤离赢得的”——而且有时，他可能会补充说，撤离简直令人尴尬。

上周，由于担心可能遭到伊朗无人机的袭击，美国匆忙将其 B-1 轰炸机从英国的费尔菲尔德（Fairfield）空军基地撤离。这是伊朗一系列旨在削弱美国基地的成功行动中的最新一次，而此次袭击地距离伊朗本土 2,000 多英里。

特朗普总统发现——通过在霍尔木兹海峡开辟航运通道并封锁伊朗——一种向伊朗施压的策略，这或许能为战争带来有利的结果。但这场冲突暴露了美国军事力量的严重缺陷，其中无法保护我们在该地区及其他地方的基地名列前茅。

代理海军部长洪·考（Hung Cao）表示，伊朗人“把巴林炸得体无完肤”，他指的是位于这个海湾小国中的第五舰队总部。他们还袭击了美国在卡塔尔、科威特、阿联酋和沙特阿拉伯的设施。

在持续的战争中，绝大多数美国伤亡源于对我们基地的袭击。曾经看来，在靠近伊朗的地方拥有如此多的基地有利于遏制伊斯兰共和国——但当德黑兰开始向这些设施开火时，很明显，这些基地的位置使其成为了脆弱的目标。

科威特的阿里詹营地（Camp Arifjan）的建筑物和雷达圆顶遭到袭击，该地距离伊朗边境仅 60 多英里。一些基地已被全部或部分撤离，美国的操作也因此受到了影响。

“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号航空母舰在长期部署期间承受如此大压力的原因之一，就是巴林不再可用作供应枢纽。海军不得不依赖迪戈加西亚（Diego Garcia）和新加坡的设施，从而创建了一条长达数千英里的供应链。

我们基地面临的伊朗导弹和无人机威胁是可以预见的，然而我们没有采取足够的保护措施。目前的一个选择是广泛缩减我们在该地区的部署，但只要碳氢化合物（石油天然气）仍驱动着现代经济，这就根本不可行。

海湾国家将有动力寻找其他的战略合作伙伴，最令人担忧的是俄罗斯或中国，并且可能会得出结论：他们应该采取更多措施来迁就一个实际上将我们赶出波斯湾的伊朗。

应对基地威胁的答案，正是创造这种威胁的根源——创新。我们在海湾地区设有基地已久，包括自 1948 年起就在巴林设有海军司令部总部，但美国存在的目的和性质随着时间的推移而发生了变化。

正如克里斯蒂安·亚历山大（Kristian Alexander）在为史汀森中心（Stimson Center）撰写的分析报告中所写，在冷战期间，我们在海湾基地的陆地部署规模并不大——但在萨达姆·侯赛因 1990 年入侵科威特之后，情况发生了变化。今天的问题是如何再次重新配置我们的部署，使其更具防御性和可持续性。

亚历山大写道：“美国基地在情报收集、指挥与控制、海上安全、防空反导、后勤以及远程力量投射方面仍然不可或缺。”

一个选择是将更多设施安置在以色列。外交关系协会的埃利奥特·亚伯拉姆斯（Elliott Abrams）指出，这个犹太国家距离更远——距离伊朗 1,000 多英里——并且会对我们的准入和领空过境权施加更少的限制。

但我们仍然需要在海湾地区拥有基地。我们需要将它们分散化，使其坚固化（包括增加更多地下设施），并建立更多的冗余。

它们的防空系统需要更加强健且具有分层防御能力，并且减少对供应短缺的高昂导弹的依赖。

伊朗战争本应是对伊朗政权的一次快速、猛烈的“除牙”行动。然而，它却拖延至今。

现在，这件事正成为一个教训，揭示了美国军事力量中必须解决的一些关键缺陷——以免在与一个强大得多的对手发生冲突时，这些缺陷再次让我们付出代价。

I.P. “不！还没到时候！”投资者在等待 Anthropic 时变得挑剔

快点，达里奥（Dario）！

作者：詹姆斯·弗兰尼（JAMES FRANEY）

专家表示，华尔街的新股市场突然陷入停滞，但大投资者并非资金短缺——他们只是在为一项历史性的巨额交易囤积资金，同时拒绝为其他公司支付过高溢价。

总部位于旧金山的 AI 开发商 Anthropic（Claude 聊天机器人的开发方）正将其首次公开募股（IPO）的估值目标定在近 $2 万亿美元，这在未来几周内可能筹集高达 $100 亿美元的资金。

这笔交易可能轻松超越 SpaceX 在 6 月份创下的 $86.2 亿美元首秀纪录，从而使 2026 年成为历史上新筹集资本规模最大的一年。

“Anthropic 是第四季度 IPO 市场的主线故事。忘掉其他所有事情吧，”IPO 前研究公司 Renaissance Capital 的高级策略师马特·肯尼迪（Matt Kennedy）表示。

按下暂停键

“就像 SpaceX 一样，Anthropic 能够筹集到的资金很容易就超过 2025 年和 2024 年所有 IPO 的总和，”他告诉《邮报》。

这笔巨额交易给不安的市场带来了巨大的压力。最近几周，几项备受瞩目的上市计划被迫刹车。

智能戒指制造商 Oura 最近推迟了其在纳斯达克的上市，而就在此前几小时，该公司原定以 156 亿加元 billion 的目标估值定价。

该公司将原因归结为市场的不确定性。尽管需求量是可用股票的四倍，但潜在投资者对价格标签以及 Oura 对单一产品的依赖感到犹豫。

其他公司也纷纷撤退。由英伟达（Nvidia）支持的 Firmus 本周早些时候暂停了其 IPO，理由是市场波动。

核能服务提供商 Holtec Nuclear 试图利用数据中心热潮获利，于 9 月 17 日暂停了其 8.25亿美元 的 IPO。

软银（SoftBank）在投资者对超过 500 亿加元 billion 的估值提出质疑后，也推迟了数据中心公司 SB Energy 的上市。

虽然一些银行家认为，在首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代（Dario Amodei）领导下的 Anthropic 正在吸干房间里所有的氧气，但市场观察人士表示，这种暂停源于一场关于价格的传统争端以及不稳定的全球背景。

“我不认为 Anthropic 是一个阻止其他公—”

华尔街不再疯狂地向高科技公司砸钱，部分原因是投资者在等待达里奥·阿莫代（右）在年底前推出其庞大的 Anthropic IPO。

暂停上市的公司： ■ 英伟达支持的 Firmus ■ 智能戒指制造商 Oura ■ 数据中心公司 SB Energy ■ 与数据中心相关的 Holtec Nuclear

“司上市的黑洞，”文艺复兴资本（Renaissance Capital）的肯尼迪说。“我认为我更倾向于将其归结为我们目前看到的更艰难的市场条件。如果他们能获得想要的估值，他们就会继续推进。”

德意志银行分析师马里昂·拉布尔（Marion Laboure）和卡米拉·西亚宗（Camilla Siazon）将近期的 IPO 延迟归咎于更广泛的背景，即“围绕即将到来的中期选举、持续的地缘政治冲突以及油价上涨的不确定性”。

分析师在给客户的简报中写道，对科技公司价格标签的抵制实际上始于今年夏天，当时投资者“质疑过高的估值”以及“AI 支出的可持续性”。

“市场正在将 AI 相关公司与其他公司区分开来，”佛罗里达大学金融学教授杰伊·里特（Jay Ritter）表示，他研究 IPO 已有数十年之久。

里特解释说，虽然投资者愿意为像 Anthropic 这样顶尖的“前沿”AI 模型支付高价，但他们将数据中心等重型基础设施视为资本密集型的“商品业务”。

这解释了为什么在科技基础设施泡沫之外运营的公司——例如生物技术初创公司——仍然能够轻松定价交易。它们根本不需要与 Anthropic 竞争同样的资金。

AI巨头为最坏情况做准备

据一份报告称，OpenAI和Anthropic等顶尖AI公司的高管正在策划潜在的应对方案，以防AI灾难引发“公众和政治反弹”。

Axios周五报道称，这些准备工作重点在于制定应急计划，以应对其AI模型造成重大公共损害的情况——例如针对电网、供水系统或银行系统的黑客攻击。

目前尚不清楚这些准备工作是否与银行、五角大楼及其他机构长期用于评估风险的桌面演习有很大不同。

尽管如此，该报告出现在AI公司面临前所未有审查的时期，一些研究人员（如前Anthropic员工Jacob Coxon）警告称，不受控制的失控AI可能会抹除人类。

“正如许多行业的公司一样，OpenAI会进行准备演习，由团队讨论并处理一系列潜在场景，”正面临额外审查的OpenAI的一位发言人表示。

该代表补充道：“这些场景并非被视为必然发生，而是旨在帮助我们为各种情况做好准备。”

现在马斯克想要手机业务了

埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）的SpaceX正致力于进入手机业务——收购价值数十亿美元的蜂窝频谱许可证，使传统的电信巨头陷入防御状态。

马斯克的公司本周就这些许可证达成了一项80 亿美元 billion的交易，为建立一个地面网络奠定了基础，该网络将填补SpaceX卫星服务Starlink在覆盖范围上的空白。

将频谱投入使用需要美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）的批准——该机构主席对此似乎非常热情。

“特朗普总统正在开启美国连接性的一个新黄金时代，”FCC主席布伦丹·卡尔（Brendan Carr）周四晚在X上评论一篇关于马斯克（右图）最新创业项目的文章时写道。

卡尔周五告诉CNBC，委员会将“坐视并观察”马斯克的下一步行动。

电信巨头们则不那么热情——AT&T、T-Mobile和Verizon的股价在周五全部大跌。

SpaceX表示，一旦获得FCC批准，公司将部署一种“结合我们在太空中的卫星到手机星座的灵活架构”。

其构想是同时利用地面基站和SpaceX庞大的卫星阵列，打造一种全新的超级手机服务。Emily Lang

债务就是一切，伙计们！

[...OMITTED...]

个人债务水平达大衰退以来最高点

By TAYLOR HERZLICH

周五公布的联邦数据显示，美国人的债务已飙升至接近大衰退后才见过的水平——即便大多数家庭的财富有所增加且消费支出保持强劲，这依然是一个令人担忧的信号。

根据每三年发布一次的联邦储备委员会《消费者财务调查》，截至 2025 年底，贷款还款逾期的美国家庭比例从前一期的 12% 跳升至近 20%。其中，逾期两个月或更长时间的比例超过 8%，高于 2022 年的 5%。

报告称：“家庭出现财务义务逾期的可能性高于 2010 年调查以来的任何时间点。”

该报告指的是大衰退末期的数据。这场经济危机在抵押贷款崩溃后，从 2007 年 12 月持续到 2009 年 6 月。在某个时间点，失业率曾触及 10%。

然而，这份涵盖 2022 年至 2025 年期间的美联储报告还显示，随着大多数美国人在走出新冠疫情后收入增加，财富差距略有缩小。

调查显示，经通胀调整后的平均净资产增长 7%，达到 $1.2400 万。净资产中位数仅微增 2%，至 $215,900, 这表明年长且富裕的美国人获得了更大的收益。

但报告指出，净资产的增长速度比 2019 年至 2022 年期间“慢得多”，当时财富增长了 37%，是该调查 30 多年历史上的最高增幅。

而且，富裕美国人的财富增长速度继续加快，收入前 10% 家庭的财富中位数跳升 31%，而收入后 40% 者的财富则有所下降。

75 岁及以上的美国人财富飙升 37%，而 35 岁以下人群的财富则下降 23%——这可能是因为年长者从股市上涨中获益的结果。

令人担忧的是，8.6% 的家庭报告其债务还款额超过其收入的 40%——高于 2022 年的 6.5%，也是 2013 年调查以来的最高水平。

纸箱成了机器人的噩梦

据报道，沃尔玛投入数十亿美元试图用机器人取代人类员工的计划正遭遇挫折，因为这些机器在搬运狗粮、感恩节火鸡或处理纸箱时显得力不从心。

一项被称为“拆包”（breakpack）的简单任务——即工人将商品从纸箱中取出以便单独发货——对于沃尔玛 140,000 多名仓库工人来说轻而易举，这些工人还负责卸货、操作叉车、分拣并将货物存放在货架上以及发送货件。

但根据《华尔街日报》的一篇报道，这对新型仓库机器人来说是一个挑战，因为它们太小，无法搬运和卸载同样的纸箱。

沃尔玛未对此发表评论，但计划更换纸箱，不过此举将增加成本。 Taylor Herzlich

达美航空：燃料压力增大

达美航空周五表示，由于燃料成本激增，尽管旅行需求强劲且票价上涨，但该公司不得不将其 2026 年的利润预测下调近四分之一，因此行业明年可能需要进一步限制航班增长以保护盈利能力。

由于伊朗战争导致全球航空燃料价格大幅上涨，这家总部位于亚特兰大的航空公司目前预计其年度燃料账单将比去年增加约 60 亿美元 billion，比其 7 月份预测的金额多出约 20 亿美元 billion。

第三季度利润下滑 47%，至 7.56亿美元。

首席执行官埃德·巴斯蒂安（Ed Bastian）表示：“在高成本环境下，你无法通过扩张来摆脱困境。”他表示，行业已经采取措施限制运力，但明年需要采取更多措施来提高盈利能力。 路透社

特朗普仍针对美联储理事库克

在白宫指控美联储理事丽莎·库克（Lisa Cook）涉嫌抵押贷款欺诈后，特朗普总统成立了一个特别委员会，调查库克发表虚假陈述的指控。

此举标志着总统在试图解雇库克的努力中再次升级。库克是由前总统乔·拜登提名的人选，此前最高法院在6月份阻止了特朗普的解雇行动。

“作为总统，我的职责是确保法律得到忠实执行，包括解雇那些无法被信任去说实话并遵守法律的下属，”特朗普在周三的一份公告中写道，该公告于周五在白宫的社交媒体上分享。“为了协助我履行这一职责，委员会将调查针对库克理事的指控，并向我报告是否有‘正当理由’将库克理事撤职。”

该委员会将包括特朗普的首席经济助手凯文·哈塞特（Kevin Hassett），将于11月 5 日在白宫举行闭门听证会。

库克的律师表示：“我们严重怀疑这次‘听证会’是否合法且符合法律。”

Kalshi 关注“扎克”投注

据一份在凯蒂·扎卡里亚（Katie Zacharia）被任命为这一高调职位数小时后发布的报告称，Kalshi 正在调查一系列关于新任白宫新闻秘书的可疑投注。

据《华尔街日报》周五报道，该预测市场平台表示，它正在调查一些准确预测这位保守派评论员将获得该职位的赌注。

据报道，至少有 3 笔金额较小但时间点极其精准的投注押在了扎卡里亚身上，为投注者带来了几千美元的收益。

Kalshi 表示无法对正在进行的调查发表评论。阿里尔·齐尔伯（Ariel Zilber）

倾听与学习：听从导师建议让红牛队全明星球员获益

RED BULLISH: Julian Hall 本赛季是纽约红牛队的 MLS 全明星，并于近期入选美国国家男子足球队，这对这位年轻的得分威胁者来说是职业生涯的一次突破。 Getty Images

作者：克里斯蒂安·阿诺德 (CHRISTIAN ARNOLD)

布拉德利·赖特-菲利普斯仍然记得红牛纽约队球星朱利安·霍尔在俱乐部青训营成长期间给他留下的第一印象之一。

赖特-菲利普斯记得，当时霍尔还在俱乐部的 MLS Next Pro 球队中与纽约城足球俱乐部的发展梯队比赛，他记得霍尔在进入比赛后“到处冲刺”。

“我告诉[当时的红牛二队教练易卜拉欣·塞卡吉亚]，他会累死的，”这位红牛队的传奇人物在本周与《邮报》的一次电话交谈中笑着回忆道。“当你首次亮相时，体内会有大量的肾上腺素。我想，他刚上场就开始到处冲刺。大约五分钟后，他就累瘫了。”

赖特-菲利普斯——红牛队历史上最伟大的得分手——近距离见证了霍尔成长为 MLS 顶尖年轻球员之一，以及现在成为美国国家男子足球队一名极具潜力的球星。这位红牛队传奇人物自 2023 年左右起就在红牛二队工作，他与霍尔共同训练，以至于这位年轻球员在美男足击败智利后的 TNT 采访中还特别提到了他；在那次国际比赛日期间，霍尔在国家队的三粒进球中贡献了两球。

霍尔将赖特-菲利普斯描述为他的“榜样”，并认为对方帮助他达到了“目前这个位置”。

“他每天都陪伴在我身边，”霍尔告诉《邮报》。“无论我有任何问题，他都在。我的意思是，我觉得这就是他想留在那里的原因，为了激励那些成长起来的年轻人。他确实激励了我，也确实帮助我达到了目前这个位置。”

霍尔所指的“位置”是指他在红牛队本赛季的表现，他强行挤进了首发阵容，取代了前拜仁慕尼黑球星埃里克·马克西姆·楚波-莫廷，并在本赛季为俱乐部打入了 10 个进球。

在此过程中，他获得了 MLS 全明星的提名。在国际比赛日之前，他通过对阵纽约城足球俱乐部的绝杀球打破了 12 场进球荒，随后在首次进入成年国家队名单后，打入三球并贡献一次助攻。

曾在 2014 年和 2016 年获得 MLS 金靴奖的赖特-菲利普斯深谙如何破门，而霍尔指出，对方给出的一个最重要的建议是他本赛季展现出强大得分能力的主要原因之一。

“我认为最关键的一点是留在禁区内和两根门柱之间，”霍尔解释道。“因为当我更年轻的时候，在二队比赛时，我在场上到处乱跑，而他总是对我大喊让我回到中间。这就是我本赛季‘驻守’的地方，而且这起到了作用。这就是为什么我觉得每个人都应该具备受教的能力，你必须听从前辈的建议，因为他们知道自己在说什么。”

赖特-菲利普斯记得那次建议，他回忆起霍尔当时如何跑到“无法得分”的边路去追球并与“防守球员搏斗”。

“我对他说，有些时刻这样做可以帮助球队，但有些时刻你也得为朱利安自己考虑，”这位红牛队前球员说道。“我认为对他来说，仅仅留在 18 码禁区的宽度范围内是非常重要的，因为那是他能获得回报的地方。这就是为什么人们现在都在谈论他。”

赖特-菲利普斯表示，在本赛季之前，两人每周会交流三次，但由于他与 Apple TV 以及世界杯相关的日程安排，交流频率“没有我想象中那么多”。他说，在过去几周霍尔在美男足期间，两人一直通过信息保持联系。

此外，赖特-菲利普斯还特意询问了另一位红牛队前球员泰勒·亚当斯（他也在这次国际比赛日的美男足名单中），以确保霍尔和红牛队新星阿德里·梅赫梅蒂在首次入选国家队期间表现良好。

“他说，‘是的，很好。没问题，完全没问题，’”赖特-菲利普斯说他收到了亚当斯的回复。

可以说，霍尔在结束首次美国国家队征召时，很清楚毛里西奥·波切蒂诺及其教练组对他表现出的认可。

霍尔表示，他们表达了对他在“表现出色的比赛中”所展现出的能力的“自豪”，并且向所有人传达的核心信息是，要保持在国家队中所展现出的那种同样的“心气”和“激情”。

最佳投注

伯克将继续在对阵守护者队的比赛中发挥稳健

作者：DYLAN SVOBODA

当守护者队在克利夫兰迎来白袜队，进行美联分区系列赛决定胜负的 Game 5 比赛时，他们将面对自己的“克星”。

突破之星肖恩·伯克（Sean Burke）将为芝加哥队坐镇投手丘。如果他之前的表现具有参考意义，那么守护者队将很难得分。在 6月 23, 的比赛中，他在 $6^{1} / _{3}$ 局中仅让守护者队得到 1 分；随后不到两周，他在 6 局中再次将对方限制在 1 分，并完成了 11 次三振。

伯克在九月份再次统治了对方，在进步球场（Progressive Field）一场 7-3 击败守护者队的比赛中，他投了 5 局且没有失掉任何自责分。这一趋势延续到了本系列赛中，他在 Game 2 的救援投球中，在 $5^{1 / 3}$ 局内仅允许 1 次安打和 1 分，期间曾连续让 13 名克利夫兰击球手出局。虽然面对面统计数据可能存在随机性，但如此统治级的表现很难被忽视。

白袜队经理威尔·维纳布尔（Will Venable）在这次季后赛征程中以不吝于尽早启用牛棚而闻名，而在周六决定球队赛季命运的比赛中，情况应该依然如此。

这应该让守护者队几乎没有机会——考虑到伯克对阵他们的出色表现——去突破伯克，因为除了本季后赛周四的进攻爆发外，守护者队在击球区一直表现挣扎。

如果伯克在某种情况下陷入困境，预计维纳布尔会迅速将其撤下，在克利夫兰队能对这位右投手造成大比分失分之前限制损失。

投注建议：肖恩·伯克允许的自责分，低于 1.5 (-140, DraftKings)。

教皇与 Stitches 支持白袜队结束美联分区系列赛

是时候寻求一点神圣干预了。来自梵蒂冈的消息称，利奥十四世教皇将在西斯廷教堂一边吃着芝加哥深盘披萨……或许还喝着一点红酒，一边关注并为他心爱的白袜队祈祷。

4 共有 16 名投手登场，其中甚至包括了冰淇淋摊贩和停车场管理员。但在决定性的 5 中可能不会如此。克利夫兰将派出可靠的加文·威廉姆斯（Gavin Williams）登丘。威廉姆斯在常规赛期间战绩为 14-8，但在 2 中，他在 5 局内丢了 2 分而落败。在 4 基本失去悬念时，他出场投了 1 局进行收尾。

白袜队的肖恩·伯克今年战绩 11-7，表现极其出色，在 2 获胜的比赛中，他在对阵守护者队的 $5^{2} / _{3}$ 局中投出了仅 1 次安打的成绩。最后机会了，白袜队。教皇支持你们，更重要的是，Stitches 也支持你们。$50 押在白袜队身上。

一周的“温顺猫”：西北大学刚刚在对阵宾州州立大学的比赛中取得了一场振奋人心的胜利，四分卫 Aidan Chiles（上图）下周将访问他的前东家密歇根州立大学。这些因素使得鲍尔州立大学在周六的比赛中处于 +35.5 的有利位置。

我们将这个每周专栏称为“丑陋的弱者”（Ugly Underdogs）是有原因的。上周末罗格斯大学对阵印第安纳大学的表现简直是 U-G-L-Y（太丑了）。绯红骑士队直到第三节落后 37-0 时才得分，在几乎没有像样反击的情况下就注定了我们的命运。但别担心，在这一领域，情况总能变得更丑陋。本周，我们将支持一支可以说得上是全美最烂的球队。

目前可能没有哪个项目能像西北大学那样顺风顺水了。

野猫队不仅在上周五晚上以一场胜利开启了他们全新的体育场，而且是以一种极具风格的方式击败了一名名将对手。西北大学以 34-13, 击溃了宾夕法尼亚州立大学，使他们的总战绩达到 3-1，且针对让分盘的战绩为 4-0。对于一个不常能这样庆祝的项目来说，这是其历史上最辉煌的夜晚之一。

但这个版本的西北大学确实显得有所不同。2026 年的野猫队不再被贴上“顽强的超水平发挥者”的标签，而是以华丽的姿态击败对手。进攻协调员奇普·凯利（Chip Kelly）与四分卫艾丹·柴尔斯（Aidan Chiles）迅速建立了默契，他们在极短的时间内显著提高了这支球队的上限。

对于西北大学来说，防守则是另一回事。虽然他们的整体评分尚可，但存在一些危险信号。本赛季在面对 FBS 对手时，西北大学场均仅失 16.3 分，但这个数字得益于严苛的红区防守和在第三档进攻中的强劲数据。虽有压力但不崩溃是一种技巧，蒂姆·麦加里格（Tim McGarigle）的单位似乎掌握了这一点，但如果野猫队本赛季真的想创造一些特别的成就，他们需要改善场均每档允许推进码数（5.6）。

当然，面对鲍尔州立大学，这些问题不太可能让他们付出太多代价。

根据 SP+（比尔·康奈利的全能实力排名），红雀队在 FBS 中的排名为第 134 位（共 138 支球队）。另一位在大学足球领域备受尊敬的模型分析师杰夫·萨加林（Jeff Sagarin）将鲍尔州立大学排在整个第一分区（Division I）的第 164 位，这意味着大约有 25 所 FCS 学校的评分高于红雀队。

进攻惨淡，防守更糟，这一切导致红雀队在周六的独赢盘（moneyline）中处于 80 / 1 的弱势地位。这意味着他们爆冷击败西北大学的概率大约只有 1.2%。这不可能发生。但这并不是我们要解决的谜题。我们想要回答的问题是，鲍尔州立大学在周六的 60 分钟比赛中是否能足够称职，从而将分差控制在 35 分或以内。

尽管这听起来很疯狂，但我相信他们能做到。

在为野猫队下注 35.5 分之前，西北大学的防守数据不仅应该让你犹豫，而且这次比赛对他们来说更是典型的“大起大落”陷阱点。他们之前的两场比赛分别是输给印第安纳大学 6 分，以及前述那场开启狂欢的击败宾州大的胜利。这两场结果是某种宣言。当鲍尔州立大学来到这里时，想要再次捕捉到那种精神状态并不容易。

而且，不仅要看西北大学之前的表现，还要看他们接下来的行程。他们即将前往密歇根州立大学（柴尔斯的母校）比赛，且本赛季没有其他休息周。这是他们在 12 月之前能获得的最接近喘息的机会。

我想大卫·布劳恩（David Braun）在对待这场比赛时会非常谨慎，强调保持状态和敏锐度，而不是大比分击溃一个在比分板上根本无法威胁到他们的对手。

第6名阿拉巴马队势头强劲，但排名第2的佐治亚队过于强势，难以抵挡

卡伦·德博尔（Kalen DeBoer）在塔斯卡卢萨的处境已大幅改善，这得益于他的胆识。

智能投注：佐治亚队主教练柯比·斯马特（Kirby Smart）率领他的斗牛犬队在本赛季打出了出色的攻防表现。Getty Images

阿拉巴马队主教练没有选择稳妥起见让19岁的基隆·罗素（Keelon Russell）去竞争德博尔长期备份球员奥斯汀·麦克（Austin Mack）的位置，而是从一开始就将球交给这位青少年，随后潮汐队（Tide）便一路领先。

在周六迎来排名第2的佐治亚队到访之前，阿拉巴马队不仅保持不败且在全国排名第6，而且克里姆森潮汐队（Crimson Tide）每次登场都有进步。罗素和进攻组在五场比赛中狂砍248分（场均49.6分），并且在面对状态火热的密西西比州立队时刚刚砍下56分，场均每档进攻推进7.9码。

阿拉巴马队回来了，这一点毋庸置疑。但这是否意味着他们能够应对沉稳的斗牛犬队？

这是一个完全不同的问题。

结果看起来相似，但佐治亚队在本赛季的做法略有不同。斗牛犬队在防守端依然保持着惯有的统治级数据，但雅典市的进攻端终于跟上了步伐。

柯比·斯马特的斗牛犬队在场均得分（场均51.4分）方面排名第一，领先于阿拉巴马队，在每档进攻推进码数方面排名第七，且 SP+ 将其评为全国第二强的进攻组，仅次于阿拉巴马队。

但这个谜题中最关键的部分在于：佐治亚队面对俄克拉荷马队令人生畏的防守砍下了41分。虽然红鸟队（Sooners）本赛季表现平平，但其防守水平极高，在进入第6周之际，其 SP+ 排名第6。而阿拉巴马队尽管在进攻端大获成功，但面对的排名前50的防守球队仅有一支（排名第50的佛罗里达州立大学）。

罗素和潮汐队在本赛季看起来前途光明，他们最终确实可能达到那个高度，但对于这位红衫一年级新生来说，这将是一次巨大的量级提升。

如果他赢了我们，我们就心服口服。

预测：佐治亚队 +1.5。

匹兹堡大学 (-3.5) 胜 北卡罗来纳大学：上周四分卫梅森·海因切尔（Mason Heintschel）前十字韧带撕裂，给黑豹队带来了沉重打击，但这支球队具备抵御此类风暴的能力。帕特·纳杜齐（Pat Narduzzi）的黑豹队风格传统，他们凭借顽强的防守降低了进攻端的压力从而赢得比赛。他们应该能够毫不费力地应对北卡罗来纳大学死气沉沉的进攻。

犹他大学 (-15.5) 胜 堪萨斯大学：蓝鸟队（Jayhawks）在上次比赛中以一场大胜中田纳西州立大学止住了两连败，但这无法改变

他们在面对 Power 4 对手时表现不佳的事实。密苏里大学在“边界之战”中击溃了蓝鸟队，八天后，亚利桑那州立大学在劳伦斯带着胜利离开。犹他大学在新任主教练的带领下没有出现任何失误，我不认为堪萨斯大学的进攻能在莱斯-埃克尔斯体育场的灯光下跟上德文·丹皮尔（Devon Dampier）的节奏。

上周：1-2。爱荷华 (L), 克莱姆森 (L), 内布拉斯加 (W)。赛季：8-10。

莎莉·布朗普顿每日星座运势

在 SALLYBROMPTON.COM 探索更多关于你自身以及未来的信息

天秤座 (9月24日-10月23日) 不要听信那些说你目标定得太高的人，因为今天出现在你星座的新月将引导并保护你，让不可能的事情看起来几乎轻而易举。宇宙希望你成功，而你也不想让它失望！

天蝎座 (10月24日-11月22日) 如果你心仪的人今天请求你承担新的责任，你会发现很难拒绝。但你必须拒绝，因为行星预警这些责任可能会变成沉重的负担。请将自己的需求放在首位。

射手座 (11月23日-12月21日) 今天的新月敦促你参与社交和文化性质的团体活动。你与那些生活观相同的人互动越多，就越会发现自己并不孤单，也会感到越快乐。

摩羯座 (12月22日-1月20日) 你星盘中事业区域的宇宙活动使现在成为在社会地位上晋升的理想时机。如果你之前没有充分发挥你的创造天赋，那么在接下来的几周和几个月里，你可以且必须做得更好。

水瓶座 (1月21日-2月19日) 你生活中的很多事情都在发生变化，这可能会让你感到有些不安。然而，你敏锐的风象星座思维让你比大多数人更有优势，因为你学习速度快且从不害怕冒险。今天就开始一些新鲜且令人兴奋的事情吧。

双鱼座 (2月20日-3月20日) 今天突然出现的一个机会可能看起来好得令人难以置信，但行星迹象表明，这可能是一个提升自我，甚至赚到大钱的真实机会。不要浪费时间思考——现在就行动！

白羊座 (3月21日-4月20日) 今天出现在你星盘合作区域的新月将帮助你与爱人和同事化解矛盾。然而，由于战神火星与爱神金星不和，并非所有人都会表现得友好。忽略他们，把时间花在那些友好的人身上。

金牛座 (4月21日-5月21日) 你可能是一个习惯于循规蹈矩的人，但今天的新月将鼓励你撕掉规则手册，从一个完全不同的角度面对生活。有些人会对你如此轻易地适应变化的环境而感到震惊。你甚至可能会震惊于你自己！

双子座 (5月22日-6月21日) 你星盘中最具活力的区域的宇宙活动使现在成为一个令人兴奋的时刻，因此请保持敏锐，一旦出现新机会，随时准备行动。只有在行动迟缓时你才会错失良机。

巨蟹座 (6月22日-7月23日) 你可能认为自己知道什么对朋友最好，也许确实如此，但如果他们显然不想要你的建议，那么不要强加给他们。也许他们知道一些你不知道的事情，或者也许他们需要从自己的错误中学习。

狮子座 (7月24日-8月23日)

你所走的道路可能是令人兴奋的，但前方也有障碍，如果你不留意脚下的路，可能会被绊倒。你不必走一条安全且可预测的路线，但你必须保持警觉。

处女座 (8月24日-9月23日) 如果你发现自己今天与公认的做法格格不入，那么很可能是你错了。如果你能承认这个事实，就不会产生任何危害。然而，如果你拒绝面对现实，可能会让你付出沉重代价。

生日在周六 生日当天出现新月是对未来美好日子的承诺，但不要等待周围的世界改变——要由你自己来改变它。在接下来的一年里，你越有冒险精神，幸运之神就越会对你微笑。

WING & A PRAYER

岛人队在签下底特律年轻后卫方面机会渺茫

如果岛人队想要践行“绝不浪费任何一次危机”的格言，那么在总经理马修·达尔什（Mathieu Darche）愿意承担相当大风险的前提下，他们有机会将亚历山大·罗马诺夫（Alexander Romanov）的前十字韧带（ACL）撕裂转化为一名明星后卫。

这将采取尝试向西蒙·埃德文森（Simon Edvinsson）提供报价单的形式。这位 23 岁的受限自由球员尚未签约，目前在瑞典滑冰。此前，红翼队——这个联盟中混乱程度最高的球队——尽管该球员在没有合同的情况下参加了训练营，但双方仍未能达成协议。

关于这一局势的报道和传闻纷至沓来，情况显然很不稳定，缺乏一个拥有实权的管理层，却包含一名爱干涉的老板和一群愤怒的球迷。据 Sportsnet 的埃利奥特·弗里德曼（Elliotte Friedman）报道，埃德文森更倾向于被交易，尽管这一点尚未得到广泛确认，且并不排除重新签约的可能性。

目前，岛人队并不具备提供报价单的条件。需要明确的是，完全没有迹象表明他们计划这样做。这仅仅是一个假设，并非对可能结果的报道，也不是对此行为的倡导。

罗马诺夫的受伤为他们提供了一条可行的路径，可以通过腾出必要的薪资空间向 NHL 投下一枚“震撼弹”，尽管这条路并不简单。他们的第一大步是通过将罗马诺夫放入长期伤病预备名单（LTIR）来获得 $6.2500 万 的薪资空间缓解，但即便如此，也需要避开重重陷阱。

根据本休赛期生效的集体谈判协议谅解备忘录，一名球员必须被宣布整个赛季（包括季后赛）缺席，球队才能获得与其薪水相当的 LTIR 缓解额度。否则，该额度将按上一赛季的联盟平均薪水计算。由于前十字韧带撕裂的康复周期为六到八个月，如果岛人队能进入季后赛，罗马诺夫尚未被明确排除在季后赛之外，

而且可以理解的是，NHLPA（国家冰球运动员协会）可能会要求球员保证，如果他被宣布缺席，他明白自己将无法回归。

这种情况还会导致岛人队整个赛季都处于 状态，从而结束他们在交易截止日期前积累薪资空间的能力——而目前的积累速度已经快要超过罗马诺夫的薪水了。

岛人队还需要达到薪资上限才能获得全额缓解。目前，他们距离上限还差约 $2.8800 万。矛盾的是，他们需要增加薪水才能在 下创造薪资空间。这三个原因就是为什么罗马诺夫现在没有被列入 ；目前将他放入该名单对岛人队是不利的。

如果岛人队增加一名薪水能让他们接近上限的球员——比如用周四被放入豁免名单、薪水为 $2.7500 万 的斯特凡·诺森（Stefan Noesen）作为替代——那么他们在将罗马诺夫放入 后，就可以将该球员下放到小联盟，除了 $6.1200 万 的 捕获额度外，还能从账面上再抹掉 $1.2.25 亿。

尽管如此，岛人队仍需创造更多空间，但有办法可以实现。他们可以付费让其他人接手一份合同——也许是皮埃尔·恩格瓦尔（Pierre Engvall）的合同——豁免马特·凯塞尔（Matt Kessel）和凯尔·麦克莱恩（Kyle MacLean），或者将马修·巴扎尔（Mathew Barzal）放入 并追溯至训练营开始之日，而无需宣布他整个赛季缺席。（在巴扎尔的案例中，这个选项可能只能为他们争取一点时间，在他在回归前处理掉一份合同。）

岛人队——它是少数几个拥有 2027 年自己首轮、次轮和三轮选秀权的球队之一，而这些选秀权将作为报价单补偿而被要求提供——届时将能够向埃德温森提供 900万美元 至 $9.500 万 的合同，具体取决于腾出薪资空间的具体方式。明智之举将是一份为期一年的报价单，正如前美洲豹队助理总经理史蒂夫·韦里尔首先详细阐述的那样，这将给红翼队制造最大的困扰。底特律队如果选择匹配，那么在 365 天内将无法交易埃德温森，并且在这次未能完成续约的情况下，明年夏天需要再次为他办理续约。

岛人队将同时押注于底特律不会匹配（红翼队将有七天时间决定），以及他们能够说服埃德温森在明年夏天签署一份长期续约合同，使其在可预见的未来成为马修·谢弗在顶级防守搭档中的伙伴。

考虑到赛季中所需的薪资上限“跳舞”操作——这将使几年前游骑兵队为了得到帕特里克·凯恩而进行的精打细算显得微不足道——以及认为红翼队在这种情况下仍可能匹配报价并使岛人队的努力化为乌有的信念，其风险几乎肯定太大了。

然而，岛人队的潜在回报可能超过潜在的痛苦：一名 23 岁、体重 220 磅的后卫，他能够承担大量出场时间，应对艰难的对位，并将成为未来的长期核心成员。

遭遇非法头部冲撞后，霍瓦特的状况仍不明朗

作者：ETHAN SEARS

岛人队在博·霍瓦特（Bo Horvat）的状况上仍处于不确定状态。在周四晚上击败芝加哥队的比赛末段，弗兰克·纳扎尔（Frank Nazar）对其进行了非法的头部冲撞，这位新任队长在周五仍在接受评估。

霍瓦特立即被联盟的脑震荡观察员带离比赛，并且没有参加周五在 UBS 竞技场举行的非强制性训练。

岛人队笔记

“我想他今天早上会再次见我们的医疗人员，看看感觉如何，”教练皮特·德博尔（Pete DeBoer）说道。

NHL 球员安全部门在周五举行听证会后，对纳扎尔处以 2 场比赛的禁赛。

虽然这在某种程度上实现了正义，但如果岛人队在周六对阵闪电队的比赛或之后的时间里失去霍瓦特，这对他们毫无帮助。

霍瓦特在四场比赛中攻入 4 球，领跑岛人队，他上赛季的 31 个进球同样排名球队第一。他也是岛人队中唯一一名入选奥运代表队的球员。

在周四比赛还剩 1:33 且岛人队 3-1 领先时，霍瓦特在将球射入空门后，被对方用肩膀迟到地撞击头部区域而翻倒。

岛人队对此反应激烈，在随后的混战中冲上前保护队长。

“我绝对认为[这次撞击]越界了，”凯尔·帕尔米耶里（Kyle Palmieri）说。“我不认为这一定是故意为之。比赛节奏很快，博处于一个脆弱的位置，而对方应该懂得如何避让。”

“希望博的一切顺利，能够准备好回归。显然他是我们球队的重要组成部分，撞击已经发生了，现在这不在我们的掌控之中。我们作为一支球队做出了反应，并互相支持。”

▶ 马修·巴扎尔（Mathew Barzal）周五继续进行个人滑冰训练，这次的时间比周四更长，但德博尔在谈到他最终从左膝盖骨炎症中恢复回归时，语气十分谨慎。

当被问及巴扎尔重新加入球队的时间表时，德博尔说：“我们甚至还没有进行这些讨论。我们仍处于回归赛场的初始阶段。”

虽然岛人队坚称巴扎尔正在好转且感觉良好，但与其康复相关的时间表是指他恢复滑冰的时间，而非恢复全面训练或参赛的时间。

根据球队统计员埃里克·霍尼克（Eric Hornick）的数据，岛人队有机会在赛季开始时连续在主场赢得三场比赛，这将是本世纪以来该队第三次实现这一成绩。

上赛季在两队的三场交锋中，他们横扫了闪电队。

欢迎回归！

拿出花球，准备好纸屑，调好小号，并规划好游行路线吧，因为如果你在幻想足球（fantasy football）中选了杰登·丹尼尔斯（Jayden Daniels）作为你的四分卫，你将在周日迎来他的回归。

这位年轻的双威胁武器在第 2 周半场前因左肘（非投球手）脱臼而离场。随着他的回归，无论你的幻想球队之前有什么问题，现在都会神奇地解决，对吧？

丹尼尔斯的回归值得适度兴奋

当然，他肯定会有所帮助。但你可能得先给彩纸筒盖上盖子，或许现在还不要安排庆祝游行。我们可以先让小号调好音，把啦啦队花球放在手边，因为如果情况真的像某些人预期的那样好，你需要做好准备。

让我们先关注长期情况。几乎可以肯定，丹尼尔斯是你阵容中最好的四分卫（QB）选择。因此，无论你在他缺阵期间采取了什么过渡措施，你的球队现在几乎肯定变得更强了。假设他在本赛季剩余时间内保持健康，他将维持这一地位——即便他不再像在 2024 年新秀赛季那样是顶尖的前五名幻想四分卫。

所以，没错，这比仅仅是“还行”要好。这甚至值得用力地摇一摇花球。不过，在撒彩纸之前，让我们先看看他的实际表现。

现在，让我们来看看更直接的预期：在第 5 周你可以期待什么？本赛季在六个节的比赛中，他场均贡献 21.6 个幻想积分。然而，考虑到其中半场比赛是对阵那支似乎谁都防不住的达拉斯防线，也许 21.6 分有点过于乐观了。我们还应该考虑潜在的——

状态生疏的问题。此外，周日的比赛可能会在雨天进行。而且，华盛顿队最好的两名接球手都出现了腿后肌问题——特里·麦克劳林（出战成疑）和斯特丰·迪格斯（缺阵）。

如果剔除这些因素，他的表现将更接近丹尼尔斯上赛季六场比赛的情况，即场均 16.3 分。

预测（CBS 预测他本周将是 QB3，ESPN 则将其列为整体排名第一的 QB）。这种亢奋程度是我们无法认同的，尤其是在可能出现恶劣天气的情况下。我们担心，如果你持有这样的预期，你的庆祝游行很可能会被大雨浇灭。

通常，如果可能的话，我们喜欢在伤员回归后观察一周。

这使得丹尼尔斯更像是一个后段的 QB1 选择——与泰勒·肖（面对困难的对阵）、德尚·沃森和博·尼克斯处于同一水平。这不像某些伤愈回归球员所处的高端地带。但 1) 丹尼尔斯缺阵时间不长，且 2) 没有其他替代选项是我们愿意在丹尼尔斯之前坚持选择的。

肖？面对维京人队时不行。布赖斯·杨？处于轮空周。马修·斯塔福德？很诱人，但不行——凯伦·威廉姆斯可能会分走斯塔福德太多的潜在达阵得分。

丹尼尔斯的回归也帮助了其他指挥官队球员，至少是那些能上场的人。在迪格斯缺阵的情况下，我们认为新秀安东尼奥·威廉姆斯是一个不错的深层 Flex 选项，以及

杰登·丹尼尔斯

稳健的 DFS 锦标赛选择。如果麦克劳林也缺阵，预计威廉姆斯将获得大量的接球目标。

我们会说这也会帮助华盛顿队的跑卫，但华盛顿队根本没有跑球进攻。如果你在寻找一名能从丹尼尔斯回归中获益最多的冲球手，那么那个冲球手就是丹尼尔斯本人。

所以，不，现在还不是规划游行路线的时候。但它值得一次热情的挥拳庆祝。dloftis@nypost.com

BIG WEEKS

SMALL WEAKS

亚伦·罗杰斯 QB，钢队，对阵小马队 (FanDuel $7,000 / DraftKings $5,300)

如果你的四分卫处于轮空周、受伤或名叫贾斯汀·赫伯特，那么罗杰斯是本周一个不错的临时替代（streaming）选择。他连续两场比赛获得 20 多个幻想积分，而且他面对的是一支底层的幻想传球防线。

雅各比·布里塞特 (Jacoby Brissett) 四分卫，亚利桑那红雀 vs. 底特律狮子 (FD $6,800 / DK $5,500)

说到有利的对阵情况，任何面对底特律的球员都值得考虑首发。狮子队每场比赛多丢 11.6 个幻想积分（高于联盟平均水平）。为了提供一个参考视角，如果你将平均防守线允许的得分与一场典型的贾斯汀·赫伯特 (Justin Herbert) 比赛得分 (10.9) 相加，其总和仍然没有狮子队通常丢掉的分数多。

布雷隆·艾伦 (Braelon Allen) 跑卫，纽约喷气机 vs. 克利夫兰布朗 (FD $5,900 / DK $5,400)

喷气机队上周在上半场几乎没有持球机会，且在此过程中陷入大幅落后。艾伦这次将获得更多机会。

威尔·希普利 (Will Shipley) 跑卫，费城老鹰 vs. 杰克逊维尔美洲豹 (FD $6,100 / DK 不适用)

老鹰队缺少萨昆·巴克利 (Saquon Barkley，腿筋受伤) 和坦克·比格斯比 (Tank Bigsby，伤病储备名单)。希普利是接下来的首选。达米昂·皮尔斯 (Dameon Pierce) 也成为了 DFS 的博彩选项。

德雷克·梅伊 (Drake Maye) 四分卫，新英格兰爱国者 vs. 拉斯维加斯突袭者 (FD $7,800 / DK $6,300)

他上周的表现好多了，但爱国者队最大的问题是掩护。而突袭者队拥有由马克斯·克罗斯比 (Maxx Crosby) 领衔的凶猛冲传。对于梅伊来说，这可能是另一个糟糕的一天。

泰勒·肖 (Tyler Shough) 四分卫，新奥尔良圣徒 vs. 明尼苏达维京人 (FD $7,700 / DK $6,100)

上周他被突然变得超级强大的猎鹰队给打击了。周日，他将面对更严峻的考验，对手是联盟顶级的幻想防守队。不要因为这样就整个赛季放弃他，但如果可能的话，本周请寻找替代方案。

奥马里恩·汉普顿 (Omarion Hampton) 跑卫，洛杉矶闪电 vs. 丹佛野马 (FD $7,100 / DK $6,000)

闪电队本赛季一直处于混乱状态，现在他们有三名进攻线球员状态存疑。此外，我们还在等待野马队防守线的反弹之战，其真实水平应该明显高于目前的统计数据。这场比赛可能就是那个转折点。

大卫·蒙哥马利 (David Montgomery) 跑卫，休斯顿德州人 客场 vs. 田纳西泰坦 (FD $6,800 / DK $5,800)

天哪，第一周看起来像是在很久以前。在揭幕战的 PPR 模式中砍下 26.9 个幻想积分后，蒙哥马利在随后的三场比赛中总共仅得 17.5 分。相比之下，伍迪·马克斯 (Woody Marks) 在同一期间得到了 25.8 分。

稳扎稳打或有回报

外接手（WR）的局面已陷入绝对的混乱，让幻想足球的经理们绝望地紧握着战术手册。伤病正以残酷的精准度席卷整个联盟的深度名单。

在第 5 周面临伤病担忧的人员中包括：Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Terry McLaurin, Chris Olave, Carnell Tate 和 Dontayvion Wicks。此外，Stefon Diggs 和 Michael Pittman Jr. 已经被排除在比赛之外。

当被证明是主力的人员受伤时，人们的自然倾向是通过追求高潜力的投机球员来过度补偿，希望能以此挖掘到金矿。像 Treylon Burks 和 Dohnte Meyers 这样的盲目尝试，突然间因为对额外接球次数的模糊预测而变得受欢迎。这是一个危险的陷阱。

与其选择波动巨大的选项去博取高回报，不如瞄准那些能提供真实保底分（floor）和周周稳定表现的外接手；寻找那些在球队传球进攻中拥有固定角色、获得四分卫信任且能稳定提供体面场均幻想得分的接球手。

杰克逊维尔的 Jakobi Meyers 就是一个典型的例子，他在全分 PPR 模式中悄悄锁定了 10.4 的平均分，这得益于他在关键的第三档进攻中拥有可靠且高概率的接球份额。泰坦队的 Wan'Dale Robinson 提供了类似的避风港，平均分为 10.1，获得了稳定的短码接球量和在开球线附近的预设触球机会。即使是像迈阿密队的 Malik Washington 这样新兴的选项，在提供爆发力和动态能力的同时，也能提供 9.5 的可靠基准分，本赛季他已经多次完成超过 25 码的接球。

这些稳定的外接手不依赖于罕见的达阵波动或失误导致的意外机会。他们提供可预测的基准接球量，确保你在球星康复期间依然具有竞争力。

当伤病威胁到要拆散你的名单时，追求剧烈的波动往往直接导致失败。接纳那些不光鲜但高保底的替代者，通常是最聪明且最安全的策略。

门将噩梦 舍斯捷金在游骑兵队惨败中被搀扶离场

作者：MOLLIE WALKER

华盛顿 —— 如果伊戈尔·舍斯捷金在周五晚上 3-1 输给首都人队的第二节比赛中遭受的明显右腿伤势导致他在可预见的未来无法上场，那么游骑兵队面临的挑战无论如何强调都不为过。

游骑兵队失去的将不仅仅是 NHL 最优秀的守门员，他在本赛季的开局表现极其出色。将舍斯捷金从方程式中剔除，就相当于把汽车发动机的火花塞拿掉：没有点火，任何东西都无法顺畅运行。

毫无疑问，他是最关键的部分。

这次潜在损失之所以如此毁灭性，是因为在之前的四场比赛中，游骑兵队看起来像是一台涡轮增压且运转良好的机器。

“太糟糕了，”队长 J.T. 米勒说。“他是这支球队的支柱。”

伤势发生在第二节首都人队的强力进攻期间，当时舍斯捷金远离门前区域，试图挑战无人盯防的皮埃尔-吕克·杜波依斯。

这名首都人队前锋在试图绕过他时失去了对球的控制，但舍斯捷金在匆忙返回球门时，右腿猛烈地撞在了门柱上。在这一过程中，他的腿似乎发生了尴尬的后折，导致舍斯捷金立即仰面摔倒。

“令人担忧，”主教练迈克·沙利文说。“毫无疑问，他是这支球队的重要组成部分。我已经多次说过：他是世界上最好的守门员之一，如果不是最强的话。他就是那么出色。”

这位 30 岁的球员因明显疼痛而将手套猛击冰面，此时一名游骑兵队的训练师走上了冰场。

在赛季前四场比赛的三场中担任游骑兵队的最后一道防线，舍斯捷金在门前表现得像机器一样精准，95 次射门中完成了 88 次扑救，扑救率高达 .926。他在得分表上产生了影响，随着游骑兵队历史性的——

由于右腿无法承重，舍斯捷金不得不被缓慢地搀扶离场。

CAPITALS 3 Summary RANGERS 1 Page 32

他贡献了职业生涯首个门将进球并增加了一次助攻，同时在所有情况下都充当后防线的额外协调者——这是他本赛季比往常使用更多的一项技能。

舍斯捷金帮助球队在赛季初取得了能让全队产生信念的开局。

然而，一次迅疾的动作，让 2026-27 赛季笼罩在不确定性之中。

如果舍斯捷金需要缺阵一段时间，球队将需要向哈特福德发出召唤。由于下半身受伤被列为日复一日（day to day）观察，斯宾塞·马丁（Spencer Martin）并非可选方案。

年仅 22 岁且仅有 20 场 AHL 比赛经验的卡勒姆·通（Callum Tung），可能会在周日于麦迪逊广场花园球馆担任游骑兵队的替补门将。

游骑兵队已经有一名门将处于伤病预备名单中：尤纳斯·科尔皮萨洛（Joonas Korpisalo），他在赛季初某时遭受下半身受伤后，至今尚未出场比赛。

“我们不会让（伊戈尔的受伤）挫败我们的锐气，”米勒说道。“我们今天依然拼尽全力。”

面对明星门将可能遭受的毁灭性打击，游骑兵队并未崩溃。

在受伤前，科尔皮萨洛被定为舍斯捷金的替补，目前被标记为周复一周（week to week）观察，且尚未恢复滑冰训练。

因此，新秀迪伦·加兰德（Dylan Garand）在训练营最后一轮裁员不到一周后，被召回纽约。

周五晚上在替补出场期间，加兰德挡住了面对的 12 次射门中的 11 次。这位 24 岁的球员仅有五场 NHL 经验，在以游骑兵队第三门将身份开始赛季后，现在将承担起首发职责。

游骑兵队还将需要

在比分 1-1 平局且加兰德把守球门的情况下，客队在华盛顿队第二节的大部分攻势中虽有压力但并未失守。直到新秀科尔·博多安（Cole Beaudoin）在游骑兵队防区中路丢球，首都人才通过布恩·詹纳（Boone Jenner）的进球取得突破。

对于 20 岁的博多安来说，这是一场格外艰难的比赛。在乔·韦莱诺（Joe Veleno）被列入伤病预备名单后，他于周三被召回并完成了 NHL 首秀。除了两次丢球外，博多安在防守区有时显得有些不知所措。

“当你看到可以说球队中最好的球员（受伤离场），这对我们球队来说是一个沉重的损失，”萨利文说道。“我认为我们战斗得很激烈。我们拼搏了。第三节可能是我们表现最好的一节。我认为我们在场上的意图是正确的，只是试图控制比赛。”

华盛顿 —— 就在两个赛季前，游骑兵队专门从哈特福德召回马特·伦佩（Matt Rempe），以应对汤姆·威尔逊（Tom Wilson）、迪伦·麦基尔拉斯（Dylan McIlrath）以及首都人队。

这位身高 6 英尺 9 英寸的前锋在 2024-25 赛季的前六场比赛中曾多次进出蓝衫军（Blueshirts）的阵容，随后在 10 月下旬被分配到狼群队（Wolf Pack）。当需要面对 NHL 两名最臭名昭著的挑衅者（其中一人与游骑兵队有很深的过节）时，球队在伦佩以一次“拳击脸”的方式迎接联赛洗礼后，选择了他。

伦佩被挤出阵容，但下放风险过高

无人区：纽约游骑兵队中锋马特·伦佩（Matt Rempe）在周五晚上连续第五场被列为健康替补。然而，将其送往AHL哈特福德队将需要将其放入豁免名单。 杰森·斯泽内斯（Jason Szenes）

从那时起，对于游骑兵队和伦佩来说，很多事情都发生了变化。

尽管首都队依然拥有两名执法者，但这位24岁的球员在周五晚上（以1-3落败）连续第五场被列为健康替补。

“显然你想上场，但我只能控制我能控制的事情，”伦佩在参加完一次可选的早晨滑冰及随后的漫长额外训练后告诉《邮报》，“钻研我的比赛；变得更好；保持良好状态；每天磨练我的技巧。当我的名字被叫到时，充分利用机会，尽我所能帮助球队获胜。”

伦佩保证，他上赛季需要通过两次手术修复的左拇指“没有问题”。

游骑兵队在周五比赛前保持的四连胜，肯定与主教练迈克·沙利文（Mike Sullivan）维持阵容不变有关，但也与伦佩的替代者雅罗斯拉夫·赫梅拉尔（Jaroslav Chmelar）的表现有关。

在本赛季早些时候，沙利文表示第四线右翼的位置将是一个持续评估的过程，部分取决于游骑兵队在任何给定夜晚面对的是哪个对手。

当然，伦佩带来的身体对抗能力远强于赫梅拉尔，而后者在当今NHL至关重要的比赛节奏中，展现出了更全面比赛能力的闪光点。

再次决定让伦佩坐冷板凳，可能是沙利文希望坚持一套获胜阵容——这可以理解，且并不罕见。

然而，由于伦佩无法在面对强悍的首都队时获得出场机会，关于他在游骑兵队中角色的问题就变得更加棘手了。

“伦佩和我经常讨论他的处境和球队的情况，”沙利文说，“我们尝试与所有球员沟通我们所做的决定以及做出这些决定的原因。正如我一直对球员们说的那样，他们并不总是会同意我们的决定，但我们希望他们能尊重我们的决定。”

“我们尝试做出我们认为对球队最有利、能给我们带来最大获胜机会的决定。”

在经历了上赛季无法打出自己的曲棍球风格后，伦佩表示在游骑兵队赛季揭幕战以0-3负于波士顿的比赛中，他感觉找回了自我。

他说他感觉良好且强壮，并指出尽管远离比赛太久——上赛季在82场比赛中缺席了56场——但他对自己表现感到满意。目前尚不清楚伦佩何时能获得下一次机会，尤其是如果赫梅拉尔的评价持续上升且球队继续获胜的话。

游骑兵队当然希望他能稳定地参加比赛，但伦佩必须先被放入豁免名单才能被指派到哈特福德。白白失去他是一个游骑兵队可能不想承担的风险。

在2024年10月29日的那场比赛中，伦佩最终在第一节早些时候与麦克伊尔拉斯（McIlrath）发生了打斗，但游骑兵队最终以3-5落败。

事实上，在最近五场伦佩在阵中的常规赛对阵首都队的比赛中，游骑兵队仅获胜一次。

“竞争很激烈，”伦佩说，“我只关注我自己，关注我能做的事。我认为我的比赛风格与任何其他人的风格都不同。所以我认为，如果我能发挥出最佳状态，没有多少人能胜任那种角色。就专注于我自己，提升我的比赛。”

尽管有预报，SEC重大对决仍将举行

美联社

阿拉巴马州塔斯卡卢萨 —— 尽管飓风“伊赛亚斯”（Hurricane Isaias）即将抵达美国墨西哥湾沿岸，但排名第 2 的佐治亚大学与排名第 6 的阿拉巴马大学之间，这场东南联盟（SEC）大学橄榄球对决仍按计划于周六晚上举行。

然而，唐纳德·特朗普总统将不再出席这场比赛。特朗普周五在社交媒体上发帖称：“基于一场巨大的飓风 / 风暴即将到来的事实，让我们的优秀急救人员、执法人员和其他人员专注于应对这场风暴至关重要，绝不能让他们分心考虑美国总统——我的安全或出席问题！”

7:30 p.m. ABC

“因此，我将错过这场潜在的、令人难以置信的比赛，阿拉巴马对阵佐治亚，”特朗普继续写道。“但希望尽管天气恶劣，比赛仍能继续！”

预报员警告称，在风暴向内陆减弱之前，会出现严重的风暴潮、破坏性大风、洪水以及可能的龙卷风。ESPN 的《大学比赛日》（College GameDay）节目已由体育场外的室外场地移至室内，阿拉巴马大学官方缩短了校园内的赛前派对（tailgating）时间，并出于对强风的担忧禁止搭建帐篷。

塔斯卡卢萨位于阿拉巴马州海岸线以北约 200 英里，距离密西西比州边界一小时车程。在东部时间 7:30 p.m. 开球时，风暴有可能已基本通过塔斯卡卢萨，布赖恩特-丹尼体育场（Bryant-Denny Stadium）的情况可能更多是泥泞，而非狂风暴雨。

佐治亚大学位于雅典市的校园距离阿拉巴马大学位于塔斯卡卢萨的校园以东约 275 英里。斗牛犬队的副体育传播总监利兰·巴罗（Leland Barrow）周五表示，球队的旅行计划保持不变，且按计划进行。

关键齿轮：斯宾塞·琼斯（Spencer Jones）在赛季末为洋基队做出了重大贡献，但他知道自己仍需找到减少困扰他的三振的方法。由于中外野位置存在疑问，琼斯学习如何胜任该位置至关重要，这使他悄然成为名单中最关键的球员之一。盖蒂图片社 (2)

“将会很可怕”

充满动力的琼斯可在2027年为洋基队带来重大改变

作者：马克·W·桑切斯（MARK W. SANCHEZ）

几乎每位球员都会告诉你，比赛中总有他们试图改进的地方。如果没有强大的职业道德和进步的欲望，几乎不可能进入大联盟。

但考虑到他的过去，斯宾塞·琼斯（Spencer Jones）作为一名能够实现真正成长的球员脱颖而出，因为他已经成长了很多。

“在我脑海中，我有一份想要努力的方向和想要完成的事情清单，”在光芒队横扫洋基队后，琼斯在阴沉的更衣室里说道。“这次经历激励了我。现在只需向前看，埋头准备下一个赛季。”

琼斯在几乎所有方面都显得不寻常——身高、体重、速度、力量、粗糙度——他在2022年离开范德堡大学时，这个身高6英尺7英寸的运动怪才是一个需要时间打磨的项目。在2024年面对双A投手的比赛中，他被三振了200次。他为次年彻底修改了击球姿势，这使他在2025赛季表现强劲，但尚未实现突破。去年春天，他在击球区再次展现出不同的面貌，揭晓了一种模仿大谷翔平的开阔击球方式，并且他的击球表现足以让他最终强行进入大联盟。

不出所料，他陷入了挣扎（在首个10场比赛的阶段中，打击率为.167，OPS为.426）。

同样不出所料，他随着时间的推移而进步，在每次被召回时显得更加自在，直到洋基队无法再将他下放。在他最后的76场比赛中，他的OPS为.774，击出11支本垒打并有9次盗垒。

此外总共被三振了105次，在季后赛的20次击球机会中再次被三振8次后，这件事一直萦绕在琼斯心中。

“今年我被三振了无数次，”这位25岁的球员在详述他的休赛期待办清单时说道。“我觉得在某些情况下，我这样没能帮到球队。我认为在防守方面，我可以做得更好。我认为我可以变得更快。”

“还有比赛的心理方面——依靠我们这里的资源，确保在明年赛季开始时，我能成为最强的竞争者。”

悄无声息地，在洋基队中没有多少球员比琼斯更重要，但这并非因为他惊人的力量。如果他不能掌控中外野，洋基队该转向谁？

可以说，自由球员市场上最好的两名中外野手都出现在了分区系列赛中：下个月就满30岁且已经是业内最慢的先发中外野手的特伦特·格里舍姆（Trent Grisham），以及32岁的塞德里克·马林斯（Cedric Mullins）（假设他或光芒队拒绝了共同选择权），在马林斯上赛季防守有所提升但.628的OPS在合格球员中排名业内倒数第五。

其他选项可能包括路易斯·罗伯特二世（Luis Robert Jr.，因伤本年共出战61场）和道尔顿·瓦肖（Daulton Varsho，其.637的OPS比马林斯高一个名次）。由于中外野需要运动能力和速度，球队通常倾向于培养自己的球员，而不是签约年长的老将。

这意味着琼斯成为一名真正的中外野手对洋基队来说将具有巨大意义。据球队内野、外野和跑垒主管瑞安·亨特（Ryan Hunt）称，球队“100%”希望利用这个休赛期和春训来帮助他在中外野位置上发展。

“他知道自己具备这个潜力，”亨特在本月早些时候表示，“我们也相信他具备。”

琼斯在防守方面显得缺乏经验，尽管他的能力——尤其是灵活的臂力且速度顶尖——显而易见，但他的跑位、第一步反应以及完成处理球的能力还需要加强。尽管存在运动能力上的差距，洋基队在选择中外野时更信任

格里舍姆而非琼斯，后者在没有亚伦·贾奇（Aaron Judge）的情况下被移至右外野。

就像琼斯的挥棒一样，俱乐部认为他的防守也在成长。

“你可以看到一些跳跃动作在进步，看到一些跑位在改善，”亨特说道，他补充说琼斯的投球臂力也取得了长足进步，本赛季达到了职业生涯最高的95英里 / 小时。“他绝对是一个处于进步过程中的球员。我们还没有看到他最好的版本。

“我们所知道的是，我们拥有一个顶尖的人才，并且我们相信他能稳在那个位置上 [中外野]。”

尽管仅被记录了两次失误，但琼斯的远程评级低于平均水平，他在处理常规球方面做得还不够。不过，他也展现出了完成一些精彩防守的能力。

如果琼斯的成长停滞，可以考虑洋基队的内部选择：科迪·贝林格（更适合左外野）、贾森·多明格斯（防守端发展不理想），或许还有格里舍姆，后者表达了回归的意愿，但在进攻和防守两端都经历了一个令人失望的赛季。

洋基队相信琼性能在防守端采取必要的改进措施，部分原因是他在进攻端已经取得了必要的进步。

“这孩子拼命努力，”亨特说道。“他会投入大量工作，而且心态也到位了。他非常在意自己的站位，以及在进入比赛前对对阵情况的理解，以及如何让自己处于最佳位置来完成防守。他是一个非常有头脑且极具运动能力的球员。”

“一旦他发挥出全部潜力，我认为那将非常可怕。”

我认识你：加文·威廉姆斯将在对阵白袜队的比赛中迎来本赛季第六次先发。Imagn Images

威廉姆斯获得守护者队先发机会

作者：乔·里迪（JOE REEDY）

克利夫兰 —— 在周四晚上投完第九局后，加文·威廉姆斯（Gavin Williams）将在周六晚上的美国联盟分区系列赛第五场生死战中为守护者队先发，对阵肖恩·伯克（Sean Burke）和白袜队。

比赛将于东部时间晚上 8 点在 TBS 频道开球。

“加文想要球。我们也希望他能投，这场比赛是他的，”守护者队经理斯蒂芬·沃格特（Stephen Vogt）在宣布威廉姆斯为先发投手后表示。

在周四晚上于芝加哥举行的第四场比赛中，守护者队以 9-5 获胜，威廉姆斯是球队使用的第八名投手。在救援投手凯德·史密斯（Cade Smith）于第九局陷入困境（米格尔·巴尔加斯轰出本垒打，村上宗隆获得保送）后，威廉姆斯在周四完成了他在大联盟的首次救援登场。

这位右投手投了 18 球，被击出一支安打并有一次三振，锁定了胜利，并将这个五局三胜制的系列赛比分扳平为每队两场胜利。

威廉姆斯表示，赛后他经过了沃格特的办公室，告诉这位执教第三年的经理他已经准备好出战了。

“现在身体感觉很好。我整个上午都在训练室里，调整状态。但其实这就是个平常的日子，”威廉姆斯说道。他在常规赛期间取得了 14-8 的战绩，并以 248 次三振领跑美国联盟。“我在那些日子里会投牛棚，大家都知道。所以没有什么不同的。在那时，能够在比赛环境下感受投手丘会更好。”

在周一 4-3 输掉的第二场比赛中，威廉姆斯在五个多局中完成了 11 次三振。他是球队历史上首位在季后赛单场比赛中连续让五名打者三振的投手。他还投出了 16 球时速超过 100 英里，这是自 2008 年开始追踪以来，美国联盟投手在季后赛单场比赛中的第四高纪录。

27 岁的威廉姆斯在比赛中被击出 4 安打，丢 2 分。他投了 98 球，包括 59 个好球，但在第四、五、六局分别让领先击球手上垒而陷入困境。守护者队曾以 2-1 领先，但白袜队在第六局反击拿下 3 分并取得领先。

这将是威廉姆斯本赛季第六次先发、第七次对阵白袜队。他对阵该队的战绩为 0-1，防御率（ERA）为 3.76，有 40 次三振和 11 次保送。

“他们仍然是一支很难对付的球队。在赛季的这个阶段，没有什么好学习的了。我知道他们有什么本事，他们也知道我的本事，”威廉姆斯说。

伯克今年将第五次登场、第三次先发对阵克利夫兰，战绩为 3-0，防御率为 1.19。——美联社

德马科预计将在2027年回归

作者：MADELINE KENNEY 和 JONATHAN LEHMAN

自由人队主教练克里斯·德马科（Chris DeMarco）在球队半决赛遭遇赛季终结的失利后表示，他预计将在2027年回归。

当被问及是否与总经理乔纳森·科尔布（Jonathan Kolb）讨论过自己的未来时，德马科说：“就我所知，我进行的所有沟通和对话，答案都是肯定的。”

在自由人队被梦想队横扫出局后，德马科在执掌帅印仅一年后的工作稳定性成为了关注焦点。

赛后，当被要求为德马科的回归背书时，琼奎尔·琼斯（Jonquel Jones）、萨布丽娜·约内斯库（Sabrina Ionescu）和布里安娜·斯图尔特（Breanna Stewart）均拒绝这样做。

“我不知道会发生什么，”约内斯库说。“无论如何，感谢他今年执教我们并给了我们机会，只是我们没能成功。”

“这些决定不是由我们做出的，”斯图尔特补充道。“我认为我现在关注和思考的只是：错失的机会。”

科尔布明白，在桑迪·布隆德洛（Sandy Brondello）为球队赢得首个 WNBA 冠军一年后将其解雇所带来的风险。他曾亲口表示，在聘请她的继任者时需要“精准到位”。

“最终我们认定，目前需要的是进化和创新，”科尔布说。

经过漫长的教练搜寻，自由人队最终选择了德马科，他曾长期担任勇士队的助理教练。

德马科在主教练岗位上较为新手。他此前唯一的主教练经验是带领巴哈马男子国家篮球队接近该国首个篮球奥运席位。

他在主教练位置上的缺乏经验在赛季期间时有体现，尤其是在德马科对比赛末段局势的掌控——在输给梦想队的第二场比赛中出现的暂停失误就是最近且最典型的例子——以及在比赛中做出调整的能力。

他们以 26-18 的战绩结束常规赛——比一年前少一场胜利——并且在 2025 年排名第五后，在季后赛中成为了第八种子。

布鲁克林之憾：尽管布里安娜·斯图尔特（图中正向篮下进攻，安杰尔·里斯在防守）和琼奎尔·琼斯（右侧，对布里奥娜·琼斯施压）尽了最大努力，但仍未能阻止里斯和梦想队在周五于巴克莱中心（左图）完成三场横扫并庆祝胜利。斯图尔特和琼斯在失利中均得到了 26 分。

事实证明，整个自由人篮球时代可能需要一次“重置暂停”。

一个在重返 WNBA 之巅的极高期望中开启的赛季，在半决赛的横扫中落幕。周五晚上，在巴克莱中心 17,991 名失望的满场观众面前，球队在第三场比赛中以 83-85 负于梦想队。

梦想队 85 第三场 自由人队 83 统计表；第 32 页

如果这是自由人队黄金时代的最后一次坚守——这个时代由布里安娜·斯图尔特在 2023 年的加盟开启，并由 2024 年的首个冠军正式确立——那么他们是在奋战中倒下的。

“这真是一颗难以吞下的苦药，”琼奎尔·琼斯说，她在比赛中贡献了全场最高的 26 分、14 个篮板和 3 次盖帽。“我们知道自己有多才华，每一年都是为了能够竞争并最终赢得冠军。今年我们失败了。”

这已经是连续两年如此。比起进入四强这个结果，更令人不安的是球队在赛季中反复被干扰的状态——伤病（萨布丽娜·约内斯库和重磅新援萨图·萨巴利）、人员离队（贝特尼雅·莱尼-汉密尔顿），以及首年主教练克里斯·德马科对联盟的仓促适应——而现在，他们将再次远离捧杯的高光时刻一年。

自由人队以 26-18 的战绩结束赛季，仅排在第八位，季后赛战绩为 2-3。他们在第一轮中曾令人振奋地击败了种子排名第一的山林队，但随后迅速变成了被梦想队噩梦般地淘汰。

“你需要保持一致性。我认为我们没有做到这一点，”斯图尔特说道。“我们在接近尾声以及季后赛期间开始展现出一些活力并达到了一定的小高峰，但这不像准备考试那样可以通过临时抱佛脚来完成。你必须从一开始就准备好进入状态。”

自由队在面对一个拥有自己黄金年龄球星（例如：安吉尔·里斯、莱恩·霍华德）且正跃升至 WNBA 精英行列的对手时，在力量和速度上都处于劣势——而这正是大约三年前自由队所处的位置。

2026年以被梦想队横扫而猝然收场

而瓦尔基里队——另一支在赛后被提及为自由队克星的球队——现在将与梦想队一起进入决赛。

对于一个拥有“夺冠或失败”标准的特许经营球队来说，一个充满反思且可能伴随剧烈变动的休赛期即将到来。

“我相信这个更衣室，我相信我们的阵容，而且我认为我们已经足够强大了，”德马科说道。

当然，德马科的身份状态可能是问题清单上的首位。他表示预计将在2027年回归。

在第二场比赛中，德马科和自由队在最后一次进攻前离奇地没有使用手中持有的暂停，这场失利将被人们铭记；而第三场比赛则是一场更典型的、令人紧张的胶着战。

自由队在第四节初以 71-66 领先，随后在梦想队打出一波 9-0 的进攻高潮期间，超过五分钟没有得分。

在比赛还剩 18 秒、落后 2 分的情况下，自由队在暂停后为斯图尔特设计了一次进攻机会，但未能命中。

“赢得 WNBA 冠军真的很难。我觉得因为我们之前做到了，而且在早期两次进入[决赛]，这几乎让人觉得‘哦，这将成为每年的常态’，”斯图尔特说道。“这破事并不简单。当你到达那里并获胜时，你不能将其视为理所当然。”

斯图尔特倾尽了所有。在整个赛季凭借顶级的攻防两端表现（使她进入 MVP 投票前五）支撑起自由队，并在冲刺阶段顶住巨大的出场时间压力后，斯图尔特奔跑了 39:03。她得到了 26 分（投篮 15 投 6 中），并贡献了 4 个篮板和 6 次助攻。

作为该球队备受推崇的“三巨头”中的第三名，以及自 2020 年以状元身份被选中以来便成为球队门面的伊奥内斯库，最终以 12 分（投篮 12 投 4 中）收场。这为她一个低迷的赛季画上了句号，她表示该赛季受到了背伤的“很大”影响。

“你不知道未来会是什么样子，”伊奥内斯库说，“但显然[我]喜欢我们现在的这个团队。我们三个人倾注了全部心血，试图为这个组织以及为我们到场支持的球迷们争取成功。”

周五晚上，布里安娜·斯图尔特走下巴克莱中心球场时，头上披着一条白毛巾。

这是自由队在半决赛中以 85-83 输给亚特兰大梦想队并赛季终结时的离场画面。

这不仅是斯图尔特 WNBA 生涯中第一次在多场比赛的系列赛中被横扫，也标志着纽约队首次在五局三胜制系列赛中被横扫。

“在球迷的陪伴下走下球场时，我有点情绪化，因为我知道他们多么支持我们，他们真的在为我们而战，”斯图尔特说。“我今天的关注点是……我希望我们能继续拥有机会，延长这个赛季，为我们的球迷而战。”

在赢得球队首个 WNBA 冠军两年后，另一个季后赛再次提出了那些本该得到解答的问题。

自由队在去年秋天首轮出局后解雇了桑迪·布隆德洛，总经理乔纳森·科尔布则宣扬“创新”和“进化”的重要性。

拭目以待：《邮报》的马德琳·肯尼写道，尽管有夺冠雄心，但萨布里娜·伊奥内斯库和自由队仍未能达到预期。进入休赛期，有几个问题必须得到解答——包括“三巨头”是否就是答案。

令人失望的赛季可能导致重大变革

自由人队在去年12月聘请了长期担任勇士队助理教练的克里斯·德马科（Chris De-Marco），标志着一个新 era 的开始。

但本赛季并未取得自由人队预期的结果。

“这里存在压力，对吧？有一个对我们的预期标准，”莱奥妮·菲比希（Leonie Fiebich）说道。“这支球队想要进入决赛。这支球队想要继续获胜。”

“我们在 24 获胜是因为我们带来了韧性，我们拥有天赋，并且拥有团队化学反应。我们必须继续寻找找回这些方法，以便在最高水平上竞争并进入决赛。”

在与斯图尔特（Stewart）、萨布里娜·约内斯库（Sabrina Ionescu）和琼奎尔·琼斯（Jonquel Jones）这 Big 3 续约至 2028. 后，自由人队在赛季开始时被视为夺冠热门。为了增强阵容，他们还签下了明星自由球员萨图·萨巴利（Satou Sabally）以及其他球员。

纽约队的更衣室阵容豪华。该队被广泛赞誉为联盟中规模最大、最长且最深厚的球队。

但自由人队的表现低于预期。

“每年都很艰难，”斯图尔特说，“但这次是另一种类型的艰难。”

在赛季的某些阶段，自由人队看起来陷入了困境。他们在赛季中期 10 场比赛中输掉了 8 场——这是 Big 3 era. 以来最糟糕的一段时期。球队的防守特质出现了动摇。

在赛季最后一周开始前，自由人队曾有机会最高排名第四。但最终他们仅获得了第八个也是最后一个种子席位。

在进入季后赛时，自由人队正处于最佳竞技状态，在第一轮中完成了对种子排名第一的明尼苏达山林队历史性的横扫。随后，他们的赛季被梦想队（the Dream）终结。

另一个令人失望的结局让自由人队不得不面对镜子审视自己，他们必须弄清楚，镜中的影像究竟是一个冠军竞争者，还是一个过于沉溺于“被视为竞争者”这一想法的球队。

这个团体是否已经触及了天花板？

更大的变革可能即将到来。自由人队不能将自满伪装成忠诚。

除了斯图尔特之外，在这个休赛期，任何人都不能感到安逸。

在周五的失利后，笼罩在球队上空的几个问题包括：

Big 3 仍然是答案吗？

德马科是能带领球队下一次夺冠冲刺的教练吗？

科尔布（Kolb）应该是决定这两者的执行官吗？

有一张照片永远地将斯图尔特、琼斯和约内斯库铭刻在自由人队的传说中。

她们站在一个灰色背景前。琼斯右臂抱着她的 2024 Finals MVP 奖杯，左臂搂着约内斯库。

作为球队唯一的 No. 1 选秀，约内斯库与斯图尔特共同举起巨大的 WNBA 冠军奖杯。两人都竖起 1 个手指，因为她们终于成为了 No. 1。

这三人于 2023 在纽约集结以赢取冠军。一年后，她们实现了这一壮举。

对于任何局外人来说，这感觉仅仅是一个开始。

沃尔佩可能在二垒获得第二次机会

作者：格雷格·乔伊斯 (GREG JOYCE)

在一个起伏巨大的赛季中，安东尼·沃尔佩（Anthony Volpe）几乎将他最好的表现留到了最后。

遗憾的是，在美联除赛（ALDS）第三场中，那个最初看起来像是能扳平比分的两分本垒打，没能被“第二个杰弗里·梅尔（Jeffrey Maier）”救回来；几个局之后，洋基队被光芒队横扫。

但在经历了一个被两次降级到3A（因为失去了洋基队首发游击手位置）的赛季后，沃尔佩的这个近在咫尺的时刻提醒人们，他在球队的未来中可能仍有一席之地，具体来说，就是作为下赛季的二垒手。

在现在与2027年棒球赛季开始（如果能开始的话）之间还有很长一段路要走——因为潜伏的停赛危机——但随着洋基队进入休赛期，沃尔佩至少给了自己一个再次身披条纹球衣的机会，成为乔治·隆巴多（George Lombard Jr.）的双杀搭档。

“如果我们想要赢得世界大赛，我们需要安东尼·沃尔佩在队中，”亚伦·贾奇（Aaron Judge）在周三深夜表示。“他是一名出色的球员，不仅在于他的天赋，更在于他处理这类逆境的能力——不仅是比赛中状态不佳，还要面对球迷和所有人的指责，然后他被降级到3A，针对需要改进的地方进行训练，最后像这样强势回归，这充分说明了他的性格和他所拥有的韧性。”

不久前，沃尔佩还在3A的斯克兰顿 / 威尔克斯-巴里队，看起来像是一个在休赛期通过交易更换环境会获益的球员。根据洋基队休赛期的具体走向，这位25岁的球员在这个冬天仍有可能被交易，这并非不可能。但随着贾兹·奇索姆（Jazz Chisholm Jr.）进入自由球员市场且不太可能回归（尽管他本人希望如此），沃尔佩至少看起来像是二垒的一个临时替代者，甚至可能扮演更重要的角色。

在洋基队的五场季后赛中，沃尔佩两次在奇索姆之上获得首发。第一次是在美联外卡赛第一场对阵红袜队左投手佩顿·托尔（Payton Tolle）；随后，由于奇索姆不可靠，在决定赛季命运的美联除赛第三场对阵光芒队右投手尼克·马丁内斯（Nick Martinez）时，沃尔佩再次首发。

亚伦·布恩（Aaron Boone）甚至考虑过让沃尔佩在对阵光芒队的第二场比赛中首发三垒——他在大联盟职业生涯中仅在该位置出战过1场比赛——但在决定不冒险让他季后赛的第一场三垒首发就面对热带花园球场（Tropicana Field）的人造草皮之后放弃了这一想法（尽管最终坚持使用瑞安·麦克马洪（Ryan McMahon）的决定依然让洋基队吃亏了）。

沃尔佩在第三场比赛中出任二垒，是对奇索姆的一种谴责，但也体现了俱乐部对沃尔佩心理素质的信任。在交易截止日后被隆巴多取代并被降级到3A时，他的反应进一步强化了这种信任。

“沃尔佩所能做到的，谈到面对逆境，这告诉你关于他、他的性格、心理素质和能力的一切，”布恩说。“他回归的方式以及他在[第三场]比赛中展现的击球水准，他重新站了起来。”

虽然沃尔佩在今年的两场季后赛中7次击球3次命中，包含一个二垒安打和两次三振，但洋基队下赛季能从他的进攻端获得什么依然是个问题。降级到3A给了他时间来调整挥棒——这些调整在他去年休赛期无法完全完成，因为他大部分时间在进行肩部手术后的康复——最显著的变化是使用后脚后撤步以获得更好的节奏。

在从3A回归后参加的14场常规赛中，他的打击率为.265，OPS为.695，有1次本垒打和5次盗垒。这种状态是否能持续（即是否能超过他四个赛季职业生涯.661的OPS）仍有待观察。

沃尔佩在二垒的位置上看起来确实很自在，在那里他的手臂发挥更好，且能让他有更多时间不必匆忙处理球；在经历了一个动荡的赛季后，这或许正是他明年能留在布朗克斯的敲门砖。

幽灵之影

一个世纪前的今天，洋基队在令人失望的季后赛失利中苦苦挣扎，历史再次重演

就在 100 年前的今天，保罗·加利科（Paul Gallico）——他在咆哮的二十年代最喧嚣的岁月里是纽约体育界无可争议的领军人物——向他的读者提出了一个奇怪的问题，而恰恰在一个世纪后的今天，这个问题充满了讽刺意味。

“你们认为，”加利科在 Oct. 10, 1926, 傍晚写道，“纽约洋基队还能再次赢得冠军吗？”

加利科刚刚在 3 岁（落成 3 年）的洋基体育场目睹了世界大赛的 Game 7，这场比赛让他——以及纽约的大部分棒球爱好者——感到既焦虑又困惑……说实话，这与 Oct. 10, 2026, 纽约大部分棒球爱好者的感受如出一辙。

而且，原因惊人地相似。

● 洋基队刚刚输掉了一场他们被博彩公司视为绝对热门的系列赛，对手是一支优秀的棒球队伍，虽然在全垒打大赛中绝不可能跟上洋基队的节奏，但在所有“小球战术”方面都胜过他们，而弱势球队一直以来都靠这种方式来对抗该市场的特定低效性。

● 洋基队被对方压倒性的投球表现击溃，且从未恢复。

- 他们因为在防守位置上明显无法干净地处理球而自毁前程。

● 他们最终被一次可以想象的最糟糕的跑垒失误所击沉。

而且，正如加利科所指出的，1926 年的洋基队是无可争议的票房奇迹。他们是唯一一支吸引 100 万 名球迷的球队，比排名第二的

Cubs（小熊队）多出 115,000 人。他们比曾经的纽约之王巨人队多吸引了 300,000 多名观众。球队共击出 121 支全垒打，领先其他球队 31 支，并且他们拥有这项运动中最顶级的吸引力人物——贝比·鲁斯（Babe Ruth），他正处于职业生涯至今最好的年份之一：54 支全垒打，以及令人震惊的 1.253 OPS。

但这已经是洋基队第四次获得世界大赛资格，而他们现在已经输掉了其中的 3 场，仅在 1923 年获胜。

“季后赛就像一场赌博，”洋基队总经理埃德·巴罗（Ed Barrow）虽然没有这么说，但你可以想象他肯定这么想过。

这让纽约人感到很不舒服，尤其是在 Game 7, 刚结束时。那是棒球历史上具有开创意义的比赛之一，其全部 9 个回合以及 2 小时 15 分钟的持续时间，恰恰模拟了 100 年后的洋基后辈们在坦帕湾光芒队的手下（以及手臂、手套和钉鞋下）所遭受的待遇。

Oct. 10, 1926, 的黎明阴沉、寒冷且凄惨，早晨气温在 30 多华氏度，这是一个完美的提醒，告诉人们纽约离冬天比离夏天更近。那场系列赛已经创下了世界大赛观众人数的历史纪录，连续六场比赛球场座无虚席

PINSTRIPE PAST

both Yankee Stadium and St. Louis' Sportsman's Park.

There had been six terrific games too. In Game 4, a 10-5 Yankees rout in St. Louis, Ruth had clobbered three home runs. Within minutes of game's end, it was revealed that back home, in a hospital bed in Essex Fells, N.J., 11-year-old Johnny Sylvester had been listening on the radio. After Game 2, Sylvester's father, Horace, had reached out to both clubs asking for autographed baseballs to cheer up Johnny, battling a serious infection, who'd nearly died.

Both teams complied. But the Cards' message — "Here's hoping you'll soon be batting 1.000 in health!" — didn't become a part of American mythology. The Yankees'did. That ball was signed by Ruth, who'd added: "I'll knock a homer for you in Wednesday's game!" Unlike Ruth's other dabble with folklore — his "called shot" against the Cubs' Charlie Root six years later at Wrigley Field — this time the message was captured by photographers, the ball arriving in Essex fells the day after Ruth's tour de force.

That bit of drama had thus far overwhelmed the other one, which was the improbable resurrection of 39-year-old Grover Cleveland Alexander. Cut loose by the Cubs in June after 318 wins and almost as many tales of after-hours debauchery, the man known as Ol' Pete pitched credibly for the Cards after they claimed him, then pitched brilliantly against the Yankees.

In Game 2, he limited the Yankees to four hits, striking out 10 in a 6-2 win. Then, in Game 6, with New York eager to coronate their champs-in-waiting, he'd done it again, scattering eight hits, striking out six, and the Cardinals won 10-2. Afterward, Alexander was approached by player-manager Rogers Hornsby (adding to the many storylines, Hornsby's mother had passed on the eve of the Series).

"Alex, if you want to celebrate tonight, I wouldn't blame you," Alexander recalled years later to John Carmichael of the Chicago Daily News, a nugget later unearthed by baseball's rank historian, John

Thorn. "But go easy, for we may need you tomorrow."

(Remember that version of the story, for now.)

The next day, only 38,093 showed up at Yankee Stadium, many turned off by the weather, many more no doubt opting work over play in those still-prosperous years before the coming crash. They got one thing they desperately wanted: a third-inning Ruth home run that snuck just over the 295-foot sign in right. That gave the Yankees a 1-0 lead.

But an inning later, the Yankees lit themselves on fire. A hundred years later, it would be Ryan McMahon and Jazz Chisholm Jr. In 1926, it was Mark Koenig booting a one-out, double-play grounder from Les Bell. Then, after a single by Chick Hafey that loaded the bases, Bob O'Farrell lofted a short fly ball to left, an easy can of corn that Bob Meusel flat dropped.

(Think Aaron Judge, Game 5, 2024 World Series. Also: remember Meusel and O'Farrell. You'll be hearing from both again soon.)

PLAY IT AGAIN: Babe Ruth — with Rogers Hornsby — and the Yankees lost the 1926 World Series in crushing fashion. Tony Lazzeri (above) struck out with the bases loaded in the seventh inning, and the game ended with Ruth being thrown out on a baserunning gaffe that would be echoed a century later by Austin Wells (left).

By inning's end it was 3-1, Cardinals. The Yankees scratched a run in the sixth on a Hank Severeid double, and it was still 3-2 in the bottom of the seventh when St. Louis starter Jesse Haines loaded the bases on a single by Earle Combs, an intentional walk to Ruth and an unintentional one to Lou Gehrig.

托尼·拉泽里（Tony Lazzeri）走上前去，他在65年后注定进入名人堂，而在他的这个新秀年，他打入了117分（但同时也以96次三振领跑全联盟）。随后，霍恩斯比（Hornsby）走出休息区。他准备换上一名救援投手——但当时没人知道是谁，因为那个时代的牛棚位于看台下方，视线不可见。

在那个还没有公共广播播报员的年代，人群异口同声地喊出了那个名字：“亚历山大（ALEXANDER）！”就这样，一次史上讨论度最高的一次登丘开始了。

因为“老皮特”走得很慢，且显得犹豫不决。他的帽子比头小了两个号（但他一直那样戴）。多年来，考虑到他与威士忌的渊源，流传着一个传说，说亚历山大那天一直在牛棚里睡大觉以缓解宿醉。几个口无遮拦的队友坚称，他们看到他从随身酒瓶里喝了一两次。但亚历山大本人坚持说：“我是在评估局势。

你在牛棚里没法跟进比赛进程。突然间我意识到垒上满员，而且轮到拉泽里击球了。”

亚历山大只做了几次热身投球。他向拉泽里投了两颗曲球，一球偏，一球好。奥法雷尔（O'Farrell）随后要求投一颗快球，拉泽里将其猛击而出，球像激光一样飞出，起初看起来像是要飞向那个对击球手有利的、距离281英尺且正好在界外杆上的标志，但很快开始打钩。它落在距离满贯本垒打位置左侧8英尺的地方。

“这是给你最后一颗快球了，老伙计，”亚历山大对着手套低吼道。

他投了一颗曲球，那一刻的定格照片显示，拉泽里在挥棒后双脚平踏，正对着投手，左手无力地握着球棒。虽然没有视频记录他被这球欺骗得有多惨，但那张照片说明了一切。

洋基队只剩最后一次机会。在第八局将对方 1-2-3 出局后，亚历山大在第九局先解决了前两名击球手，然后非常谨慎地向鲁斯（Ruth）投球。一年后，这会是一个艰难的决定，因为格里格（Gehrig）很快将被安置为洋基队的常年第四棒。但现在还不是时候。目前轮到的是梅塞尔（Meusel），他渴望证明自己。

同样，接下来的发展取决于你选择相信什么。在1-1的球数下，当时的记录坚持认为梅塞尔向鲁斯示意，他应该在下一球起跑，执行一次触击跑跑（hit-and-run）的前端。在后来的年份里，责任被推到了鲁斯身上，说他单纯是失去了理智。

我们已知的是：鲁斯起跑了。梅塞尔挥棒落空。奥法雷尔迅速将球传向二垒，霍恩斯比接住球，鲁斯被出局了——为了不唤起糟糕的记忆——出局的距离至少和奥斯汀·威尔斯（Austin Wells）在美联分区的第一场比赛中一样多。顺便一提？这一切发生时，格里格——他在1926年，即他的第二个完整赛季中打入了109分——正处于待击状态。

无论这是谁的主意，这可能是棒球历史上最糟糕的主意，毫无疑问。

比赛结束了。尘埃落定。圣路易斯赢得了队史首个冠军。亚历山大被誉为英雄。霍恩斯比回家埋葬他的母亲。鲁斯？在1926年，没有什么能真正伤害他。世界大赛结束后的第二天，在前往泽西海岸参加一场表演赛的途中，他让司机在埃塞克斯费尔斯（Essex Fells）停下。他想亲自与强尼·西尔维斯特（Johnny Sylvester）握手。

西尔维斯特已经在康复之路上，他从未提起关于那次盗垒失败的事。那天他一定没刷Instagram。

NFL传奇教练、名人堂近端锋迈克·迪特卡逝世，享年86岁

作者：JUSTIN TERRANOVA

传奇的熊队教练迈克·迪特卡（Mike Ditka）逝世，享年86岁。

迪特卡最著名的成就是在1986年率领熊队赢得了该队队史中唯一的超级碗冠军，当时球队由极具统治力的“46防守”阵型引领。

死因尚不明确。

得益于球员们自信且外向的个性，这支球队在芝加哥以及NFL的传说中长盛不衰，而粗犷且抽雪茄的迪特卡则是这支队伍的领军人物。

该消息最初由贾雷特·佩顿（Jarrett Payton）披露，他是熊队传奇人物沃尔特·佩顿（Walter Payton）之子，后者曾在20世纪80年代那支统治级的熊队中担任主力。

“我刚刚接到电话，迈克·迪特卡去世了，”佩顿在芝加哥 104.3 The Score 电台的《Haugh & Payton》节目中报道道。“这对我打击很大，因为我没预料到会接到这个电话。我们还没有收到新闻稿，但应该快到了。但向芝加哥市传达这个消息让我感到悲痛。每个人都知道教练对我、我的家人、这座城市以及芝加哥熊队意味着什么。”

这是超级碗 20 冠军球队近期遭遇的第二次悲剧，全卫马特·苏希（Matt Suhey）已于 9 月 6 日逝世。

佩顿提到，在名人堂父亲于 1999 年死于肝病后，迪特卡对他及其家人意义重大。

“对我整个家庭来说，他一直是一个了不起的人，而且他总是确保我没事，确保我们的家人没事，并且一直关注着我们，”佩顿在强忍泪水时说道。

“无论何时我们需要他，他总是在那里。从马特（苏希）发生的事到现在这件事，对我来说承受了很多。”

迪特卡出生于宾夕法尼亚州，在转入教练岗位之前，曾先后在熊队、牛仔队和

鹰队担任近端锋主力。

1961年作为一名新秀时，“铁腕迈克”成为了NFL历史上首位接收码数超过 1,000 码的近端锋。他在 1963 年随芝加哥队赢得了 NPL 冠军，随后在 1972 年成为赢得超级碗 6 的牛仔队成员。

他在 1988 年成为首位入选职业足球名人堂的近端锋。

1972 年退役后，迪特卡加入了汤姆·兰德里（Tom Landry）的牛仔队教练组，并在超级碗 12 冠军球队中担任助理教练，再次夺冠。

随后，迪特卡在 1982 年接任熊队主教练执教了九场比赛，当时自乔治·哈拉斯（George Halas）不再在场边巡视以来，该球队正处于低谷期。

迪特卡在三个赛季内扭转了球队局面，在五年的时间里，熊队在迪特卡的带领下（包括季后赛）取得了 62-24 的战绩，并在超级碗 20 中以 46-10 的统治性比分击败爱国者队夺冠。

“我们怀着深切的悲痛宣布，我们挚爱的丈夫、父亲、祖父和朋友迈克·迪特卡去世了，”迪特卡的家人通过佩顿在 X 平台上发表声明称。“虽然世人将迈克视为名人堂足球运动员、传奇教练以及芝加哥熊队超级碗 XX 冠军队的领袖，但我们知道他是我们家庭的核心。迈克将被无限思念，被永远铭记。”

迪特卡在 1992 赛季后被熊队解雇，随后开始了在 NBC 的播音生涯。他于 1997 年回归执教圣徒队，但在新奥尔良的成功程度远低之前。

在他执教的三个赛季中，圣徒队的战绩为 15-33，而且他曾做出一个臭名昭著的交易：用掉全部 1999 年的选秀权，外加 2000 年选秀中的两个高顺位选秀权，以换取更高顺位来选择明星跑-

压力点：冲传专家大卫·贝利（中间）目前为喷气机队仅贡献了两次擒杀，尽管这位来自德州理工大学的选秀总第 2 顺位球员此前被寄予极高期望。但整个防守线在本赛季都令人失望，而这位新秀坚称他并不担心自己目前的表现。 比尔·科斯特伦

至于急什么？

缺乏大动作并未让喷气机队的新秀冲传手感到担忧

作者：HOWIE KUSSOY

在四月份，大卫·贝利（David Bailey）能想象到的唯一比在 NFL 选秀中成为榜眼（总第 2 顺位）更好的事情，大概没有了。而到了十月份，其他数百名新秀则庆幸自己的每一次出场不必都在聚光灯下。

但这仅仅是个开始。只要贝利还身披绿白战袍，情况就会如此。

“我其实并不太担心外界的预期，”贝利在周五的训练后表示。“我更担心的是我如何能帮助球队，识别出我的优势领域，并利用这些优势让球队处于尽可能最好的位置。”

“我在场上过得很开心，只是努力在每周尝试改进我能掌控的部分，试着更好地理解防守体系，理解教练和队友希望我做什么。”

这位新秀在职业生涯的第一个月里，大部分时间处于一种灰色地带——既不惊艳，也不透明。

贝利在首两场比赛中完成了两次平庸的擒杀——那是由于两名四分卫向他的方向逃跑而导致的结果——但自第二周输给包装机队的第一次进攻以来，他再也没有产生过一次擒杀。这位 23 岁的球员有 11 次四分卫施压——使其在所有新秀中并列第一——但他在芝加哥的一场比赛中表现沉寂，仅有一次施压。

“由于竞争水平的不同，情况确实有所不同，”去年在德克萨斯理工大学以 14.5 次擒杀并列 FBS 领先者的贝利说道。“有很多因素需要考虑，比如竞争水平、新的防守体系，我正在与新的[防守]截锋、新的[防守]后卫合作，所以显然必须考虑到这些。归根结底，这依然是橄榄球，所以我认为这就是我一直以来在做的事情，所以我依然在场上感到自在。”

根据防守线教练卡尔·邓巴（Karl Dunbar）的说法，贝利在约四分之一的冲传中遇到了掩护（chipped）或双人包夹。在签下约瑟夫·奥赛（Joseph Ossai）、金斯利·埃纳格巴雷（Kingsley Enagbare）和大卫·奥尼马塔（David Onyemata）之后，原本被预测为球队强项的前线并未给他提供太多帮助。

在过去两周内，喷气机队没有一名防守线球员记录到擒杀。而在过去三场比赛中，喷气机队的施压率（27.1）在联盟中排名第三低。“归根结底是我们缺乏化学反应，因为显然你是从各处招募的新成员，”贝利说。“我们一直在录像室里研究这个问题，研究我们如何攻击[进攻]线，一直在训练中研究，就是研究那些可以利用的突破点。”

贝利被要求参与掩护防守的次数远多于他在德克萨斯理工大学时的次数，防守协调员布莱恩·杜克（Brian Duker）指出，这为安全卫安德烈·西斯科（Andre Cisco）在底特律完成一次擒杀创造了空间。此外，根据 ESPN 的数据，贝利在防跑方面的表现也优于预期，在边缘冲传手的防跑获胜率中排名联盟第三。

但人们对这位榜眼球员的期待远不止于此。

“他仍在学习和成长，”主教练亚伦·格伦（Aaron Glenn）本周表示。“他将成为这个联盟中一名极其出色的球员。”

霍尔、米切尔再次缺阵，但一名老将加入接球阵营

作者：HOWIE KUSSOY

吉诺·史密斯（Geno Smith）这个周末的任务不会变得更容易。

在周日对阵布朗队的比赛中，排名联盟第 25 位的喷气机队进攻组必须尝试在没有首发跑卫布里斯·霍尔（Breece Hall，四头肌伤势）和二号外接手阿多奈·米切尔（Adonai Mitchell，手指伤势）的情况下，帮助球队结束三连败。

霍尔将连续第二场缺席，而米切尔——已连续第三场

喷气机队笔记

连续第三场比赛——在 9 月 24 日的训练中手指被一名防守球员的球衣勾住后，他的缺阵时间比最初预期的要长。

主教练亚伦·格伦表示，米切尔没有接受任何手术，但拒绝透露该接球手的具体诊断结果。

“当涉及到接球手且讨论到手指问题时，在接球难度和疼痛耐受力方面，情况各不相同，”格伦在周五表示。“事实上，一旦我们明确了他的手指预后情况，他的恢复速度比我们预想的要快。我对他的现状感到满意，希望看看下周的情况如何。”

米切尔的缺席——加上首轮秀奥马尔·库珀二世（脚踝）和阿里安·史密斯（前十字韧带）的缺阵——使得史密斯的接球阵容再次单薄，在周日在芝加哥的失利中，该阵容仅贡献了 100 码。

不过，喷气机队将迎来紧端锋梅森·泰勒的回归（他此前因拇指受伤缺席了过去两场比赛），以及资深接球手蒂姆·帕特里克（腹股沟），后者将迎来在球队的首秀。

“我厌倦了在场边观看，”帕特里克说。“我已经准备好在喷气机队证明自己的价值，上场打出我的足球风格。……我打球的方式，每支球队、每位教练都会喜欢。”

32 岁的帕特里克上赛季在美洲豹队度过，记录了 15 次接球，共 187 码。

喷气机队陷入困境的冲传线可能会迎来金斯利·埃纳巴雷（膝盖）的回归——他在周五完成了全部训练，目前被列为出战成疑——但他们的防守前线可能会缺少威尔·麦克唐纳四世（小腿），后者在周五被新列入伤病报告，且在训练中仅为有限参与，被列为出战成疑。

左后卫迪伦·帕汉（膝盖）和线卫基科·迈古亚（股四头肌）将再次缺阵，而角卫贾维斯·布朗利二世（脑震荡）在周五完成全部训练后，不再出现在伤病报告中。

“大蓝”三人组预计将出战

马利克·纳伯斯（Malik Nabers）、以赛亚·莱克利（Isaiah Likely）和卡姆·斯卡特博（Cam Skattebo）预计都将在周日出战，但巨人队顶尖进攻武器中，只有一个人在面对其状态曾陷入危机这一说法时付之一笑。

纳伯斯（膝盖）周三因酸痛感比平时更严重而缺席训练，但主教练约翰·哈博（John Harbaugh）在周五训练后宣布，“他将准备好出战”。

斯卡特博（肩膀）表示，他周三穿着的红色非接触球衣——考虑到他那种低肩冲撞的奔跑风格，这简直是个矛盾修辞——更多是为了“安全”，也是“听从指令”的体现。

“没什么好担心的，”斯卡特博说，“我的肩膀没问题。实际上我只是背部有一点肌肉紧张，在过去的几天里我已经解决了这个问题，感觉非常好。”

在周五的训练中，莱克利（膝盖 / 腹股沟）、纳伯斯、斯卡特博、左截锋安德鲁·托马斯（Andrew Thomas，腹股沟）和近端截锋克里斯·曼赫茨（Chris Manhertz，肩膀）本周首次全部完整参与训练。

安全卫杰森·皮诺克（Jason Pinnock，脑震荡）和防守截锋肖恩西·戈尔斯顿（Chauncey Golston，颈部）被判定无法参加周日的比赛。在过去 2 场比赛中，皮诺克和 S 泰勒·努宾（Tyler Nubin）在杰文·霍兰德（Jevon Holland）身旁共享一个位置。如果努宾因任何原因被撤下，阿德里亚斯·华盛顿（Ar'Darius Washington）将是接替人选。

哈博拒绝透露新引进的 J.J. 麦卡锡（J.J. McCarthy）还是杰克·海纳（Jake Haener）将担任 No. 2 四分卫。

巨人队笔记

“我认为 [J.J.] 在过去两周取得了巨大的进步，”哈博说，“从上周到本周，他进步了很多。”

指挥官队的防守协调员达隆特·琼斯（Daronte Jones）在丹纳德·威尔逊（Dennard Wilson）获得该职位之前，曾参加过巨人队同一职位的面试。

当被问及对琼斯率领的防守单元的印象时，哈博表现得十分谨慎。

“我不想说，因为这可能会泄露某些信息，”哈博说，“我们看了很多关于他们防守的录像。”

哈博在训练后的新闻发布会开始时，分享了他对当天早些时候去世的名人堂成员迈克·迪特卡（Mike Ditka）的看法。

“我对迪特卡教练有所了解，因为我的兄弟 [吉姆] 被他选中并为他效力，”哈博说，“教练是个非常棒的人。之后在芝加哥和吉姆一起见过他几次。在足球方面，他总是很清楚自己的立场，对吧？”

在戈尔斯顿颈部受伤后，防守截锋吉哈德·沃德（Jihad Ward）可能会在周日迎来他第二次效力巨人队的首次亮相。

“哈迪（Haddy）能胜任很多工作，”外线卫教练查理·布伦（Charlie Bullen）说，“他几乎在每个位置都尝试过，在肖恩西的角色中负责内线冲锋。”

迅速行动！在 Week 4 对阵红雀队的比赛中，布莱恩·哈德森（Bryan Hudson）替代约翰·迈克尔·施密茨（John Michael Schmitz，No. 61）首次担任中锋并表现出色，他将在周日对阵指挥官队的比赛中再次获得担任中路核心的机会。盖蒂图片社 (3)

巨人队在一次稳健的首发后决定让哈德森出任中锋

作者：RYAN DUNLEAVY

六周前，布莱恩·哈德森（Bryan Hudson）和卢卡斯·帕特里克（Lucas Patrick）还在训练营中激烈竞争巨人队的替补中锋之位。

预计本周日，哈德森（巨人队）和帕特里克（指挥官队）将分别在对方球队首发，而当时在深度图上排名第一的球员——约翰·迈克尔·施密茨（John Michael Schmitz）则转入新的替补角色。

上周，哈德森取代施密茨完成了职业生涯首次首发，而施密茨在职业生涯健康期间曾首发出战 44 场比赛。

“他一直表现出色，所以我们对他这次的发挥并不感到惊讶，”进攻协调员马特·纳吉（Matt Nagy）表示。“我们只需要保持下去。我们需要这样的表现，他在跑球和传球方面都有一些非常出色的片段。”

施密茨是 2023 年的第二轮选秀球员，上周他因孩子出生获准缺席一次训练，但在比赛中处于活跃状态——然而，由于对比赛计划的熟悉程度，巨人队依然选择了哈德森。

“有很多我想改进的地方，以便让其他四个队友更轻松——我这边的沟通可以做得更好，”哈德森告诉《邮报》。“但总的来说，我觉得这是一个不错的开始。”

“虽然上周是他第一次首发，但我认为他的成熟度远高于他所获得的机会。他只会变得更好。”

哈德森在 2024 年 11 月首次加入巨人队时是一名未被选中的新秀。他上赛季出场两场比赛，但在两个月前通过击败身体欠佳的帕特里克真正实现了突破。

“JMS（施密茨）是我队内最好的朋友之一，作为进攻线球员，我们彼此关系非常密切，”哈德森说。“在我目前的角色中，我会尽我所能地帮助他，并做好充分准备，这样如果发生任何情况——无论是比赛中鞋带开了，还是他遇到了什么了不起的大事——我都能顶上去，让衔接尽可能无缝。”

与施密茨不同，哈德森在 2027 年处于球队控制之下（专属权利自由球员），因此如果哈德森能保住这个位置，巨人队可以将前线的所有五名首发球员全部留住。

哈德森与四分卫詹米斯·温斯顿（Jameis Winston）在二队进攻组共同工作两年后，两人之间的球权交接非常流畅。

巨人队在过去几年中经常轮换后卫位置上的进攻线球员。但中锋则完全不同。

哈德森没有让四分员 “中锋必须进入比赛的节奏，”哈德森说。“防守方通常 ”

“哈德（Huddy）是一个极其聪明的球员，”左截锋安德鲁·托马斯（Andrew Thomas）表示。

比赛的各种变化，而中锋在比赛开始时必须在比赛中观察并做出调整。在球权安全方面，我们尽量保持交接的一致性，但每个球员都略有不同，因此在每隔一个系列赛就更换中锋会非常困难。” rdunleavy @nypost.com

格雷格·纽索姆二世（Greg Newsome II）可以出演那些万事达卡（Mastercard）的广告，在广告中他可以传达这样一个口号：在正确的防守体系中打球是金钱买不到的“无价”之宝。

纽索姆，26, 在与巨人队签约的自由市场期间放弃了一部分金钱收益，因为他在 2025 年的一次赛季中交易后深刻意识到，找到合适的适配度——在这种情况下是指协调员丹纳德·威尔逊（Dennard Wilson）的战术手册——是无价的。

对于纽索姆和巨人队来说，这是一次互利共赢的投资，巨人队以一份一年 $800 万 合同获得了一名能够锁死对方的角卫和一名能带动气氛的球员。

“来到这里时我充满信心，因为我知道这个体系符合我的强项，”纽索姆告诉《邮报》。“我知道这个赛季我会打得很好。”

“在自由市场中，我是基于体系以及我知道自己能取得成功的地方来选择的，而不是仅仅追随金钱。去一个我知道自己被需要和渴望的地方，其他的一切都会在适当的时候到来。”

纽森的表现如何？嗯，对方四分卫在瞄准他时，评分仅为 57.2（26 次传球完成 14 次，其中 1 次被拦截）。

这听起来像是一名 1 号角卫的表现，而纽森在克利夫兰与全明星球员登泽尔·沃德共事四个赛季期间，以及在杰克逊维尔因适配度不佳而失宠时，从未担任过这个角色。

少即是多：格雷格·纽森二世表示，在巨人队他拥有成为 1 号角卫的最佳机会，因此他接受了较低的薪水，并在新角色中大放异彩。 比尔·科斯特伦

“我不想要那些不想成为 1 号角卫的人，”角卫教练艾迪森·林奇说道。“如果你在这里，你就得想成为 1 号角卫。这是我们唯一接收的人员类型。如果你不想成为 1 号角卫，你就得去为别人效力。”

在上一场比赛后，人们对迪昂特·班克斯在比赛结束时的拦截得分（pick-6）以及新秀阿维尔·里斯职业生涯首次拦截进行了大量讨论——这确实理应如此。

但巨人队在三次拦截中的“另一个”——纽森在最高点截获深球并在后仰倒地时稳稳接住——其本身也令人印象深刻。

“我只是做了我受训该做的事，”纽森说。“人们认为那是一个精彩的动作。但那是个常规动作。只要球在空中，我就必须去把它抢回来。”

在训练营早期，当更多目光聚焦在高薪的 2025 年自由球员新援保尔森·阿德博、曾经的第一轮失败者班克斯（他作为首发球员复活了自己摇摇欲坠的职业生涯）以及第二轮新秀科尔顿·胡德时，纽森已将自己确立为巨人队最稳定的角卫。

“伙计，我全心全意地相信他及其能力，”威尔逊在谈到纽森时说。“他用自己的能量、努力、对细节的关注、学习意愿，以及愿意多走一步带领大家一起观看额外录像的精神，营造了良好的团队氛围。他是这支防守线和这个组织的杰出补充。”

纽森在周日将面对的对手是接球手特里·麦克劳林，在过去的三个赛季中，麦克劳林与班克斯之间一直存在着互放狠话的竞争关系。

由于斯特丰·迪格斯在指挥官队缺阵，纽森（西北大学之光）可能会在这次对决中接替班克斯去对位麦克劳林（俄亥俄州立大学），两人的交手可以追溯到 2018 年的大十联盟冠军赛。

“我开玩笑说，他是我在大学期间唯一让对方得分的达阵，对此我至今还有点生气，”纽森说。“我在联盟中也和他交手过。他是个伟大的球员——强壮、快速且极具爆发力。”

纽森在季前赛期间大胆预测巨人队拥有 NFL 中“最强的角卫阵容”。在连续两场比赛通过最后 20 秒接近球门线的拦截锁定胜局后，现在对此嗤之以鼻的人减少了。

“我看到了什么？统治力，”纽森说。“联盟中最好的那些组，没错，他们很有天赋。但我们关系非常紧密。每个人都希望对方成功。我认为这是二线防守组变得伟大的关键因素。”

威尔逊看到二线防守组在纽森和安全卫杰文·霍兰德的领导下逐渐磨合。两人在周四的训练中挑选了被他们的协调员称为“糟糕透顶”的音乐，并跳着“所有那些幼稚的（舞蹈）动作”。

获胜是快乐的。

“格雷格在完成我们要求他做的事情，”林奇说。“我们现在的任务是保持稳定性，四场比赛还不能算作稳定——但这确实是一个极好的开始。”

“他承担起领导角色给了我们一个惊喜。他在这方面做得非常好。这极大地帮助我们提升了球员们的信心，因为他曾与沃德搭档，所以他见过很多球，他理解起伏波动以及思考方式。”

尼克斯在赛季前暂停与汤恩斯等人的续约谈判

尼克斯队已暂停所有合同续约谈判——包括与卡尔-安东尼·汤恩斯之间日益激烈的拉锯战。

在汤恩斯对一份显然令他感到被侮辱的报价表达不满四天后，尼克斯在周五上午发布了一份声明，试图同时终止谈判并消除干扰。

这进一步证明，双方在 10 月 20 日常规赛揭幕战之前并未接近达成协议。

“作为一个组织，我们的全部精力都集中在为即将到来的赛季做准备，并为我们的球迷带来又一个值得自豪的年份，”一名尼克斯发言人表示。“因此，在赛季后期之前，我们将不再进行合同续约谈判，并将完全专注于赛季开局的准备工作。”

除了汤恩斯，乔什·哈特和迈尔斯·麦布赖德也具备续约资格。他们可以在 6 月之前进行谈判，但为了避免干扰，协议通常在赛季前达成。

这一次，尼克斯采取了不同寻常的步骤，公开宣布他们——暂时——停止谈话，因为他们正在执行詹姆斯·多兰关于保持在第二奢侈税线（second apron）以下的指令。

正如《邮报》报道，尼克斯向汤恩斯提供了一份价值四年约 2亿美元 的合同，这比他的顶薪低了 7700万美元。这也将低于他目前 5700万美元 的年薪。

汤恩斯（KAT）表示他愿意接受打折，但不能像纽约队的提议那样剧烈。

“简单来说：我想做一些能让球队保持团结的事情，我可以与尼克斯合作，同时也希望[合同]能体现我的价值，”汤恩斯在周一表示。

“而这些事情目前都没有接近实现的可能。”

当被问及在帮助球队打破 53 年的冠军荒后是否期待获得回报时，汤恩斯回答道：“废话，夏洛克。我刚刚赢得了冠军。你应该觉得这很简单。除非你们（记者）认为我还有其他需要证明的东西。”

在周四输给奇才队后，汤恩斯没有与记者交谈，在媒体被允许进入之前就离开了更衣室。

这位 30 岁的球员拥有下赛季 6100万美元 球员选项的筹码。如果他表现挣扎，

汤恩斯可以选择执行该选项，并在下赛季以职业生涯最高薪水打球。如果没有达成续约协议且他本赛季再次大放异彩，汤恩斯可以放弃该选项，并在 2027 年自由市场寻求一份丰厚的报价。

包括公牛、快船、

篮网、活塞、国王和勇士在内的几支球队预计将有足够的薪资空间，在汤恩斯 7 月进入市场时为其提供顶薪合同。

汤恩斯在 2027. 年作为非限制性自由球员，最高可签署一份四年 2.65亿美元 的合同。正如汤恩斯多次重申的那样，他的倾向是留在尼克斯。

尽管尼克斯向汤恩斯提供的 2亿美元 报价被描绘为压价，但这种克制有其正当理由。这位六次全明星在去年大部分时间的进攻角色中表现挣扎，并且在作为交易字母哥（Giannis Antetokounmpo）的核心筹码时被密尔沃基拒绝。在此之前，森林狼队交易汤恩斯的部分原因是他们试图减轻他的薪资负担。与尼克斯的续约合同将一直持续到汤恩斯接近 36 岁。

与此同时，哈特由于合同中包含下赛季的球队选项，筹码较少。这位老将前锋最近表示，续约没有进展。

“事情能办成吗？目前还没有太多的进展或对话，所以我认为不会办成，”哈特在约两周前表示。“但我很希望它能办成。一旦赛季开始，我可能会有这样的心态：‘我真的不想处理这件事，我想尝试专注于打好这个赛季。’”

“我确信球衣的重量可能会增加一点。你无法确定自己的处境，而且显然这会影—”

球队总裁的夺冠记录

这是尼克斯队在周五上午晚些时候发布的声明：

“作为一个组织，我们的全部精力都集中在为即将到来的赛季做准备，并为我们的球迷带来又一个值得自豪的年份。因此，在赛季后期之前，我们将不会就合同续约进行谈判，并将继续完全专注于为赛季开始做准备。”

这是许多将我的电子邮箱设为某种类似于“快速拨号”状态的尼克斯球迷的反应：

“糟糕。”

这句话立刻在我脑海中浮现，就像电影台词经常那样。这是杰森·罗巴兹在 1976 年电影《总统所有的人》中饰演的本·布拉德利，就在伍德沃德和伯恩斯坦提交一篇大报道之后，就在讲述了一个关于林登·约翰逊的一名助手在报道中误导他的 NSFW（不宜在办公场所观看）轶事之后，就在伍德沃德坚持认为他们都可以信任“深喉”之后。

“我不能替我的记者做报道，所以我必须信任他们，”布拉德利说，“而我讨厌信任任何人。”

这句话，无论以何种形式出现，都体现了我们许多人看待体育球队智囊团的方式。此时此刻，可能是大都会队、喷气机队和篮网队的球迷偶尔会怀疑，他们对这些球队老板仍持有的信任是否放错了地方或被误导了，而现在大批的洋基队球迷也加入了其中。

巨人队？嗯，自从你还能真正信任 1925 Giants Drive 任何人的足球洞察力以来已经过去太久了，以至于现在像他们那样完全信任约翰·哈博（以及乔·舍恩残存的微小影响力）几乎让人感到不舒服。但 3-1 就是 3-1。

然后是尼克斯队，让我们坦率地面对一点：有一部分尼克斯球迷直到 6 月 13 日午夜前才完全认同里昂·罗斯和“全球韦斯”对球队的愿景，而且在认同的同时，他们还眯起眼睛掩饰着灼烧双眼的泪水。并非每个尼克斯球迷都那样想。他们将罗斯一系列聪明、精明的举措列为证据，证明他是一个你真正可以信任的总经理。

但即使是荣耀也有保质期。

而且你看：从我们看到的尼克斯队来看，他们似乎具备那种性格和韧性，能够承受在接下来的八个月里，人们为了将王冠从他们头上敲掉而做出的多次尝试。而现在，这关乎金钱。关乎报酬。关乎第二奢侈税线（second apron）。因此，这意味着这件事自动落入了不仅是里昂·罗斯和威廉·卫斯理，还包括那个签字开支票的人——詹姆斯·多兰的管辖范围。

至于那份声明？

当然，也许这是对卡尔-安东尼·唐斯在上周一关于他的合同续约谈判进展（或缺乏进展）时发表的那个“废话，夏洛克”式俏皮评论的回击。如果你对此感到心惊肉跳，是可以原谅的，就像你可能在米奇·罗宾逊被允许逃往波士顿时感到心惊肉跳一样。如果在过去的 27 年里我们对多兰有任何了解，那么我们知道他肯定一点也不喜欢这次的事情。

TONGUE

影响家庭生活。有些事情你可能想去做，但你会觉得‘我不能，因为我完全不知道两个月、三个月、四个月后，或者一年后情况会怎样，我是否还会在这里。’你不知道。但希望就像我说的，我是一名尼克斯球员，我很想成为一名尼克斯球员，我也热爱这座城市。”

麦布莱德没有合同选项，如果没有续约，他在赛季结束后肯定会成为自由球员。这就是为什么联盟内的人认为麦布莱德将在本赛季被交易。

假设多兰在第二奢侈税线（second apron）上的立场没有软化，尼克斯在未来两个赛季之后将面临账单压力。

杰伦·布伦森明年有资格续约，在上次谈判中接受了一份对球队有利的合同后，他应该获得大幅加薪。布伦森的顶薪合同将大约为四年 2.57 亿美元 —— 并将于 2028-29 赛季开始。

在赢得冠军后不久，多兰表示进入第二奢侈税线将是“自杀行为”。其处罚既包括财务方面，也包括对阵容构建的限制 —— 尽管这并不会阻止球队与自己的球员续约。

如果尼克斯通过与 KAT 和哈特续约 —— 以及随后与布伦森续约 —— 而进入第二奢侈税线，主要问题将是多兰需要支付一笔巨额账单。

应该能缓解对合同风波的担忧

也许你甚至可以把每一场关于尼克斯队的讨论中那个“1,000-pound giraffe”（指显而易见但被刻意忽略的问题）给揪出来，直截了当地问：“这件事能怪多兰吗？”

或者，你也可以让自己回想起那些将我们带到如今地步的精妙操作。现在我们所有人焦虑的不再是尼克斯队将如何结束长达 53 年的冠军荒，而是——没错，这依然是现实——如何卫冕冠军。

毕竟，是罗斯将杰伦·布伦森确定为这一切的基石，也许并非从其职业生涯起点就开始（尽管他可以这样做），但在当时，他是唯一一个对此深信不疑的孤独之声。罗斯交易来了典型的僚机（且是侧翼球员）乔什·哈特，随后想办法签署了一份足够灵活的合同，以便他还能签下唐特·迪文琴佐。

接下来的部分就变得有趣了。当罗斯将 RJ·巴雷特和伊曼纽尔·奎克利送到多伦多时，人们充满了焦虑和不安，因为他意识到他宁愿在 OG·安努诺比身上花钱，也不愿在两名受欢迎的本土球员身上花钱，这个决定将永远成为他的“德-布舍尔式举措”。他是第一个（隐喻地）说出“去他的选秀权”的人，不仅交易来了米卡尔·布里奇斯，还让他签署了一份并非顶薪的续约合同。

而且——除了在兰德里·沙梅特的问题上判断正确，在选择迪斯·麦克布莱德而非昆廷·格赖姆斯的问题上判断正确，甚至在成为唯一一个预见到以赛亚·哈滕斯坦潜力的人方面判断正确（在这一点上他几乎正确得过头了——他无视了那种认为拥有 KAT 无法夺冠的普遍观点。他带着 KAT 夺冠了。更令人难以置信的是， KAT 成为了一个真正的纽约之星。他在这里深受喜爱。

但这种情绪伴随着一个前提：此时此刻，尼克斯球迷可能意识到表面之下潜伏着财务问题，他们只是不想听到这些，尤其是针对一名已经赚了近 3亿美元 的球员。这里确实存在一个分歧点，无论是由多兰、罗斯还是任何人提出的：给 KAT 一份巨额续约合同并非一个无需思考的简单选择。当续约合同生效时，他将 32 岁。NBA 不再是一个你可以常规性地授权一份“感谢这段回忆”式酬劳的地方。在第二奢侈税线（second apron）的时代，绝不可能。

尼克斯队的声明简而言之，就是向球迷提出这样一个要求：信任我们。球迷不能达成交易，不能签下自由球员，也不能雇佣教练，所以他们必须将总经理的工作交给总经理。他们必须信任他们。而球迷讨厌信任任何总经理。

这里写着——并且刻在将在一周半后升至花园球馆顶棚的横幅上——这一次，你可以信任。

NBA 第二奢侈税线带来的头疼问题

作者：GRACE McCARRON

周五，尼克斯队宣布将所有续约谈判推迟到赛季开始之后，暂时搁置了关于包括卡尔-安东尼·唐斯和乔什·哈特在内的明星球员可能签署新合同的紧迫问题。

在试图保留这支在夏天结束了尼克斯 53 年冠军荒的阵容时，最大的障碍之一就是如何避免因超过 NBA 薪资上限而带来的严厉处罚。

尼克斯、勇士、太阳、魔术、森林狼和雷霆是超过第一奢侈税线（first apron）的球队，仅此一项就带有某些限制。目前只有掘金队超过了第二奢侈税线（second apron）。

薪资总额高于第一奢侈税线的球队（2026-27 赛季该线略高于 2.09亿美元），只能通过“先签后换”（sign-and-trade）方式获取球员，且必须将球员薪资降至该线以下。此外，其匹配薪资必须在离队球员薪资的 110% 以内，而通常标准是 125%；且在常规赛期间，如果被裁球员的薪资超过中产特例（midlevel exception），则不能将其签下。

本赛季的第二奢侈税线约为 $221.600 万，其限制更为严格，会阻碍球队进行交易、签下大牌自由球员以及在选秀首轮中选择最理想球员的能力。

根据 NBA 的劳资协议（CBA），如果一支球队触及第二奢侈税线：

• 不允许通过组合多名离队球员的合同来匹配所交易球员的薪资。

• 将失去中产特例的权利（该特例允许超过薪资上限的球队仍能签下自由球员）。

• 其未来的首轮选秀权将被冻结，因此无法交易，且交易中不得包含现金补偿。如果在四个赛季中有两个赛季超过第二奢侈税线，该被冻结的未来首轮选秀权将自动掉至首轮末尾，无论赛季表现如何。

简单来说，超过第二奢侈税线使得球队极难在成功的基础上进一步增强，且难以打造可持续的超级球队。这无疑有助于提升联盟的竞争平衡，但并不能让球员感到高兴，因为球队往往被迫对高价值球员做出艰难决定。

这正是尼克斯队目前面临的局面。

库梅尔·南贾尼透露《白莲花度假村》第四季演员如何建立深厚情谊

作者：劳伦·萨纳（LAUREN SARNER）

《白莲花度假村》第四季的演员们在法国里维埃拉拍摄期间过着惬意的生活。

库梅尔·南贾尼（Kumail Nanjiani）在接受 Page Six 独家采访时表示，由于他们在实地拍摄的时间非常长，演员们除了工作就是一起闲逛，因此彼此之间的情谊“令人难以置信”。

“通常我们都住在同一家酒店，所以感觉有点像住在大学宿舍，”他解释道。

根据华纳兄弟探索频道（Warner Bros Discovery）的消息，这部 HBO 剧集的新一季背景设定在法国，拍摄地包括圣特罗佩的 Airelles Château de la Messardière 酒店和戛纳的马丁内斯酒店（Hôtel Martinez）。

“你走出房门，看到的每一个人都是你认识的人，”南贾尼告诉我们。他目前正在为普瑞纳（Purina）旗下的猫砂品牌 Tidy Cats 的合作推广活动做宣传。

他补充道：“演员们的关系变得非常、非常亲密。我们一起吃早餐，一起吃午餐，一起吃晚餐。”

这部热门选集剧由迈克·怀特（Mike White）创作，每一季都讲述了一群傲慢的客人和在虚构度假村分店中疲于奔命的员工之间发生的故事，每季演员阵容均不同。

演员们通常住在剧集拍摄的酒店中，之前的拍摄地包括夏威夷、西西里岛和泰国。

HBO 尚未公布第四季的首播日期，但确认背景将设定在戛纳电影节期间。

除了南贾尼，演员阵容还包括劳拉·邓恩（Laura Dern）、克里斯·梅西纳（Chris Messina）、查理·霍尔（Charlie Hall）、史蒂夫·库根（Steve Coogan）、马克斯·格林菲尔德（Max Greenfield）和罗西·佩雷斯（Rosie Perez）。

“我从未在如此规模的剧组中工作，且能与每一个人都建立如此亲密的关系，”南贾尼说。“所有的小团体都很有趣。一对一的交流也很有趣。大团体有时会一起出去，那也很有趣。”

他赞美怀特是“一位令人难以置信的导演”，并表示：“这确实是我经历过的最好的职业体验之一。”

每一季的《白莲花度假村》都围绕一名酒店客人的死亡展开，而死者身份直到大结局才会揭晓。

这位《硅谷》明星提到，真实的酒店客人们曾走到他面前，试图让他透露关于最新一季的剧情。

“我会说：‘我不能告诉你，但我确实知道。’我知道一切。我知道那个巨大的谜团是什么，但我不能告诉任何人，”他说。

南贾尼与妻子艾米莉·V·戈登（Emily V. Gordon）共同创作了获得 2017 年奥斯卡奖提名的电影《大病》（The Big Sick），他告诉我们：“我甚至还没告诉我妻子！”

Tidy Cats 在《白莲花度假村》第四季中出演的库梅尔·南贾尼与普瑞纳的 Tidy Cats 品牌合作（上图左）。

他还回忆起宣布他被选入新一季剧组的那一天，表示他对来自亲友的反应感到完全不知所措。

“我收到了数百条短信。我从未因为一份工作的宣布而收到这么多短信。信息不停地涌入……完全被淹没了，”他说。

至于他与普瑞纳的最新合作，南贾尼在经历 17 岁爱猫 Bagel 令人心碎的离世后，最近领养了一只名叫 Biscuit 的小猫。他在脱口秀表演中经常谈到他对猫的热爱。

该品牌在 YouTube 上推出的新广告通过“特别猫砂组”（Special Litters Unit）戏仿了《法律与秩序：特殊受害者单元》（Law & Order: SVU）。

“我觉得这非常有趣——我真的认为清理猫砂盆非常重要，”他说。

他解释说，在他与戈登合作的另一部即将播出的剧集《性犯罪者》（Sex Criminals）中，也有一场“清理猫砂盆的戏”，而那场戏是“没人想要拍的”。

“但艾米莉和我觉得，‘不，必须拍进去！’我觉得这很棒。”

City dwellers blast Mamdani's description of illegal migrant gangbanger shot by ICE

Mayor Mamdani called Oscar Belgal “a New Yorker” after the illegal immigrant was shot by ICE officers in The Bronx. The mother of a boy killed on the city’s mean streets reacted angrily. “I don’t consider him a New Yorker,” fumed Bronx mom Migdalia Martinez. “The only thing I do consider [Belgal] as is trash, nothing else but trash. And I don’t consider New York, my home, as trash,” she told The Post Friday.

Darth saber auction

The iconic red lightsaber prop that Darth Vader wielded in “The Empire Strikes Back” is slated to go under the hammer next month at Heritage Auctions in New York City.

In the 1980 “Star Wars” sequel, the Sith Lord used the crimson laser sword (above) to sever Luke Skywalker’s hand, shortly before uttering the immortal line: “I am your father.”

Coincidentally, the rebel leader's hand — and the blue lightsaber in its grasp — was auctioned off for \$3.75 million in July, marking the highest price ever fetched for a "Star Wars" prop.

The auction house predicts Anakin's amputator, also used in "The Return of the Jedi," will go for upward of \$1 million when the bidding war goes down Nov. 12, The Associated Press reported.

The auction house described the prop as an “extraordinary surviving artifact of two of the most consequential confrontations in motion picture history.”

A clever German shepherd who had wandered away from his home turned up at a Florida police station, where an officer helped reunite the pooch with his tearful owner.

Tampa Police Department security footage captured the “unexpected K-9 applicant” strolling up to the local station’s front doors and greeting the officer who opened the door Sept. 30.

Hours later, Tampa officers reunited the dog and his family. Adam Silverstein

IT ADD\$ UP AT DUKE ' \$300K' math majors

By NATALIE O'NEILL

They've got more dough than they can count!

The highest-earning degree in the United States is mathematics at Duke University — with graduates earning a staggering median income of nearly \$300,000, new data shows.

The number-crunchers raked in the biggest paychecks — \$297,029 annually — four years after graduating from the esteemed university in either 2018 or 2019, according to federal earnings figures.

Grads who majored in computer science at Carnegie Mellon University were the second-highest earners with a median income of \$268,121, the data from the US Department of Education's College Scorecard website revealed.

The third-highest-paid major was electrical, electronics and communications engineering at Carnegie Mellon, with grads earning \$250,168 just four years after graduation.

Computer and science majors at the University of Pennsylvania placed fourth, earning \$241,380.

One reason for Duke math majors' success is they often have interests beyond just numbers and formulas, teachers and students told The New York Times.

"I don't know a single math major who was only doing math,"

said Faisal Alsaadi, who graduated in 2019 and has worked at start-ups in Saudi Arabia.

He said he double-majored in math and economics.

Beyond the bucks

"I like it when I'm able to train young people to think mathematically and then they take it into every part of the world," said Ezra Miller, a Duke professor.

Miller said three current undergraduates with double majors recently won an international math competition by building models to maximize a soccer team's performance.

While math majors often get good, high-earning jobs, that's not always what motivates them, he added.

"It does also attract people who are interested in beauty and truth," Miller said.

However, Greg Herschlag, a Duke math professor, pointed out that paychecks aren't the best way to measure grads' success.

"I would rather universities and departments be judged not simply by how well their graduates do for themselves, but by how much value they create for others; how much they contribute to society, who benefits from that labor and whether that work is improving people's lives," he said.

A N alleged gangbanger in this country illegally was shot and wounded by ICE agents in The Bronx on Thursday.

And by the way New York politicians immediately reacted — with press conferences and outraged tweets the length of “War and Peace” — one would think ICE had made swiss cheese of a sweet grandma as she handed out Werther’s Originals to the neighborhood children.

All the usual suspects reflexively grabbed a microphone and called to "abolish ICE" in

the name of Oscar Belgal, who reportedly used his car to smash through a vehicle barricade before accelerating toward ICE agents.

Belgal's 5-year-old son was in the car and was unharmed, no thanks to his pathetic excuse of a father.

Still, an outraged Mayor Mamdani stood alongside AG Tish James and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams declaring war on ICE. "All they do is terrorize the city," he said of the federal law enforcement agency.

Wait til our mayor hears about what the illegal gang-bangers do.

Misplaced anger

Soon-to-be Congresswoman Darializa Avila Chevalier joined protesters at the scene.

She used the shooting to call for NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch to step down because she had the gall to read "our neighbor's past interactions with the police" — that is, his long criminal record — instead of condemning the shooting.

Yes, she literally called him "our neighbor." Mr. Rogers would have been the first person to call the cops on this mis- creant.

Where is this energy and outrage when innocent citizens are injured or killed by illegal immigrants, criminals with long rap sheets and the criminally insane?

They simply don't care. Mamdani's sympathies are reserved solely for Rikers inmates and illegal aliens.

Because if they poured as much into the innocent as they do illegals, they'd be forced to admit that their own sanctuary and soft-on-crime policies are responsible for most of this

death and dis- order.

Just ask Tish James, who wrote of Belgal on X that

she was, "keeping the victim and their family in my prayers tonight."

Progress?

On Thursday night, Republican Attorney General candidate Saritha Komatireddy mopped the floor with James in their debate.

James accused Komatireddy of wanting to go into the sub-ways and “remove people struggling with mental illness,” adding that it was turning “back the clock of progress.”

James and company's idea of "progress" is having mentally ill lunatics — many of whom have criminal records — roam the subway.

Every morning, I bear witness to James' "progress" as I step over two to three passed-out druggies on my subway platform.

If one of them awoke from their slumber and assaulted a commuter, I wouldn't bet on any of our pols giving the incident a second of their attention.

After all, these are their "neighbors."

BORDER CRISIS

'Trash': Locals disavow

By JOE MARINO, JOSH CHRISTENSON, AMANDA WOODS and ALEX OLIVEIRA

The Dominican Republic native shot by ICE agents in The Bronx was a migrant with an alarming rap sheet — who apparently benefited from New York's lax bail and sanctuary laws, allowing him to remain on the streets, according to sources and court records.

Oscar Belgal, 28, is believed to have entered the US illegally around 2022, robbed someone at gunpoint in Fordham Heights a year later, allegedly sold dangerous drugs within months of his conviction in 2025 and was even allegedly connected to a violent street gang.

None of that stopped Mayor Mamdani from referring to Belgal as “a New Yorker” in a raging tribute Thursday against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement — a label some Bronx locals took offense to.

"I don't consider him a New Yorker," fumed Bronx mom Migdalia Martinez, whose 12-year-old son Jacob Freytas was killed in gangland crossfire while riding his bike in July.

"The only thing I do consider him as is trash, nothing else but trash. And I don't consider New York, my home, as trash," she told The Post Friday.

Asked if Mamdani was wrong to call Belgal a New Yorker, Martinez said: "The mayor is wrong in many ways — that's definitely one."

No bail

Martinez's son was tragically struck by a stray bullet in Mt. Eden — known Trinitarios territory — and authorities said they suspected the vicious gang was involved in the violence.

US Department of Homeland Security officials have said the same gang was involved in the July 2025 shooting of an off-duty CBP officer at Fort Washington Park — and that they were investigating alleged links to Belgal when they approached him Thursday.

Security footage showed plain-clothes ICE agents rushing Bel-gal's parked car in Marble Hill at around 4 p.m. with guns drawn, before he peeled away, and out of the view of the CCTV cameras.

Marcos Charles, the head of ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations division, said Belgal "accelerated" at the agents, "smashing" into two of them.

Homeland Security Secretary

Markwayne Mullin confirmed the ICE agents were wearing body-worn cameras, but the feds didn't immediately release the footage.

Federal sources said it's believed Belgal slipped into the US with a migrant caravan in 2022 without encountering border patrol. By December 2023, he'd been arrested for the armed robbery a month prior, according to authorities and court records.

Belgal was driving with two people in the backseat along Morris Avenue, when he turned and pointed a gun at them while demanding “give me your jewelry or I will shoot you,” according to the criminal complaint.

The victims handed over jewelry and about \$500 cash, and Belgal was later caught — but then released without bail pending trial, records showed.

Sanctuary

He pleaded guilty to a lesser rap of fourth-degree grand larceny in April 2025, with the deal landing him five years probation when he was sentenced in January, officials said.

That brush with the law apparently did little to reform Belgal — just months after his conviction he was arrested again in August 2025, this time for allegedly selling dangerous drugs like fentanyl, cocaine and heroin in a

mal migrant who tried to flee AN SHOT BY ICE IS 'NOT A NYer'

BUSTED: Oscar Belgal (on ground) was involved in an ICE-related shooting in Marble Hill on Thursday, allegedly accelerating his car at agents and smashing into two of them.

— before he was swept away by the feds in a car.

case that remains open.

Those drug charges were not bail-eligible — meaning Belgal was sprung after his arrest—but prosecutors requested and were granted the highest level of “supervised release,” law enforcement sources said.

Federal sources said a detention detainer order was issued for Belgal after his arrest, meaning ICE requested he be handed over to the agency by local authorities — an ask that wasn't honored.

Mullin said New York's sanctuary laws — which largely bar local cooperation with federal immigration authorities — prevented them from catching Belgal, and endangered Americans.

"Sanctuary politicians create an environment for criminal activity to thrive, not for American citizens to be safe," he said. "When you have sanctuary cities and politicians, you endanger the safety of the public."

Federal custody

Belgal was back behind bars — this time in federal custody — Friday after an ICE agent shot him in the neck during the attempted arrest where he tried to drive off in his Honda SUV with his 5-year-old son in the backseat.

Intense bodycam footage from the NYPD showed cops rushing to the scene and finding ICE agents tending to the wounded Belgal, while his terrified son screamed in the background.

Seven bullets smashed through the car's front, side and rear windows, but Belgal survived the injury and was rushed to a hospital. His son was physically unharmed and is now in the care of family.

It was the second time ICE attempted to arrest Belgal — the agency tried in September, but officials said he managed to flee and get away.

His shooting sparked widespread outrage from lefty New York pols and anti-ICE protesters, who swarmed NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital, where cops brought Belgal in the aftermath

“A New Yorker was shot by ICE agents in Marble Hill,” the mayor told reporters. “ICE agents surrounded the man’s vehicle before opening fire. They wore construction vests and masks that concealed their faces. There was no reasonable way to identify them as ICE agents.

'Absolutely not'

“You are hearing from New Yorkers right now — anguish, pain, anger — at the fact that here in this city, the world’s city, immigrants have to wake up every morning and not know if they can live the lives that they should be able to live,” he fumed.

But not every New Yorker shared the mayor's views — including one of Belgal's upper Manhattan neighbors, who answered with a staunch "No" when asked if she considered him a New Yorker. "Absolutely not," Mora Rodriguez told The Post.

Oscar Belgal's criminal history

■2022 — A native of the Dominican Republic, Belgal is believed to have entered the US with a migrant caravan, but he did not encounter border patrol and slipped in undetected, sources said.

■2023 — Arrested for armed Bronx robbery, where he pointed a gun at the occupants of a car and demanded, “give me your jewelry or I will shoot you,” court records show.

■April 2025 — Pleaded guilty to fourth-degree grand larceny in the 2023 case and sentenced to one month in prison plus five years of probation. He was not deported.

■August 2025 — Arrested for dealing dangerous drugs like fentanyl, cocaine and heroin in a still-open case — but released because the charges weren't bail-eligible. ICE issued a detainer, but it was not honored by local authorities, sources said.

■September 2026 — DHS said he evaded ICE agents trying to arrest him over a suspected connection to the 2025 shooting of an off-duty border patrol agent in the Bx.

Kick Kat to curb: Prez Bruce boost in 'Cuse

By VICTOR NAVA and VAUGHN GOLDEN

SYRACUSE, NY — President Trump on Friday pledged to immediately help Bruce Blake-man slash energy prices and crack down on crime and illegal immigration in New York if Empire State voters choose the Republican gubernatorial candidate over Democratic Gov. Hochul in November.

“Kathy Hochul and the radical 'Dumocrats' have turned New York into a national embarrassment of high cost, high crime, massive corruption and communist politicians chasing jobs and businesses and wealth . . . out of the state," Trump said at a packed rally in Syracuse.

"The people of New York need to clean house in Albany on November 3rd, starting with Kathy Hochul," he demanded.

Trump rattled off eye-popping statistics on the number of “migrant criminals who have been arrested” in the state, only to be set loose by Hochul “to prey on innocent New Yorkers.”

'48,000 crimes'

“In less than two years, New York has released criminal illegal aliens with charges and convictions for over 48,000 crimes,” he said. “These are the people that are just released into the streets, including 8,600 assaults, 1,600 robberies and thousands and thousands of rapes and kidnappings and murders.

“Democrats sanctuary policies always put innocent lives at risk.”

Trump praised the “heroes of ICE” involved in Thursday’s shooting of suspected migrant gang member Oscar Belgal in The Bronx. The president described Belgal as a “man with a criminal record a mile long who was wanted for possible murder and murder in a gang . . . He’s a very dangerous man, and they got him.”

"But instead of being praised," Trump lamented, "ICE was scorned by New York politicians who set him loose."

"If you want to stop illegal alien criminals from being re-

leased into your communities, you must elect Bruce Blakeman and a Republican Congress and we will ban sanctuary cities and sanctuary states at long last," he promised.

Trump continued, "And if Bruce Blake-man, as your governor, calls me to help straighten out in New York City or pretty dangerous parts of this state that I know and love so much, I'll be there within 24 hours, Bruce."

With Blakeman in the governor's mansion, the president declared that "within two months you'll go from a high-crime city to almost no crime at all — just like I did in Washington, DC, Memphis and New Orleans."

Trump also blasted Hochul for the high cost of electricity in the state — and said Blake-man would bring prices down by up to “90%.”

"Your energy bills are the highest in the nation. I hate to tell you that," Trump said. "And when Bruce gets in, you're going to go from the highest in the nation, I believe, to among the lowest in the nation — because he's going to tap into your oil."

"You are sitting on some of the greatest oil reserves anywhere in the world, and you're not allowed to touch it," he continued.

Migrant shot by ICE 'in 'TIES' TO GANG ARE REVEALED

By GEORGIA WORRELL

The illegal migrant who was shot by federal immigration agents in The Bronx is a suspected member of the blood-thirsty Trinitarios gang that's wreaked havoc in the Big Apple for decades — including the horrific murder of an innocent teen in July, officials revealed Friday.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement had been trying to nab Oscar Belgal, a Dominican Republic native, over his alleged ties to the thugs when he allegedly “accelerated” and “weaponized” his car against the officers as they tried to arrest him in Marble Hill on Thursday — prompting an agent to open fire in self-defense, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Marcos Charles, the head of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations division, said Friday.

'Doing their job'

Mullin (right) said that Belgal, 28, “was known to be affiliated with” the Trinitarios, a violent street gang that started as a protective band of Dominican inmates at Rikers Island in the early 1990s and has since grown into a multinational crime empire with footholds in The Bronx and upper Manhattan.

Its members have been responsible for heinous crimes including the mistaken-identity murder of

15-year-old Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz in 2018, the stray-bullet killing of 12-year-old Jacob Freytes in July and the shooting of a federal border patrol agent in a Manhattan park last summer.

Guzman-Feliz's still-grieving mother was relieved to hear that more violent gangbangers were being taken off the street this week.

"They can't be killing innocent people in the streets and nobody is doing nothing ... somebody has to do something," Leandra Guzman told The Post on Friday.

"If they clean up the city, taking the criminals out of here, they are doing their job," she added.

Five gangbangers were convicted of the broad-daylight attack on Guzman-Feliz, who was captured on sickening sur-

veillance video getting butchered with knives and machetes while around a dozen young thugs surrounded him outside a bodega in Belmont.

The Trinitarios gangsters pounced on the innocent teen believing he was someone else, authorities said. He was later pronounced dead at St. Barnabas Hospital. Freytes'

mother, meanwhile, ripped New York City Mayor Mamdani's calls for ICE to "be abolished" after the bloody run-in with Belgal this week — which sparked rowdy anti-ICE protests across the Big Apple.

"I don't think they should be abolished," the slain teen's mother, Migdalia Martinez, said Friday.

'Make it safer'

"I just had my 12-year-old son die at the hands of someone who was a gang member," she said, adding that she wants ICE agents to "continue" rounding up violent criminals like the ones who killed her son.

Little Jacob was slaughtered over the summer when he was caught in the crossfire of a gang-related street fight in Mount Eden while riding his bike to the store to buy a ball. The neighborhood is known territory for the Trinitarios, and the gang was suspected of being involved.

"I'm all for it ... not just Trinitarios, but all of them," Martinez said. "It will make it easier and safer for

violent Trinitarios crew that killed teen'

Mamdani whined during a fiery speech Thursday that ICE was "rotten to its core" — and even said he was trying to negotiate Belgal's release with President Trump.

According to Mullin, however, the alleged gangbanger was arrested because he had “indirect or direct knowledge” of yet another Trinitarios-related shooting, which saw an off-duty US Customs and Border Protection officer severely wounded last summer.

"That's why he became a target," Mullin explained during the Friday press conference, adding that Belgal "fled" when ICE agents tried to pick him up once last month.

Alleged Trinitarios members Miguel Francisco Mora-Nunez, 22, and Christian Aybar-Berroa, 23, were each sentenced to more than a decade behind bars for firing at the 42-year-old CBP agent, Joshua Sinclair, after ambushing him on mopeds at Fort Washington Park during a botched robbery attempt on July 20, 2025.

Linked by phone

Sinclair fired back at the duo, but still sustained a gunshot wound to the face during the fracas.

Mullin's remarks were the first time that Belgal was mentioned in connection with the grisly incident — which sparked a massive

ICE roundup of 54 alleged Trinitarios members last summer — though sources told The Post that his name was found on at least one of the cell phones belonging to Sinclair's attackers.

Belgal had two prior arrests in the city, including one for robbery in 2023, in which he pleaded guilty to fourth-degree grand larceny and received five years' probation, and one for criminal sale of a controlled substance in 2025, which is still pending.

Just this summer, nearly a dozen Trinitarios members were indicted for five murders — including the killing of a Big Apple influencer who starred in a Tekashi 6ix9ine music video, the feds announced. Additional reporting by Joe Marino

NY snubs fed requests

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin revealed Friday that New York officials have refused to honor a single detainer request from his department for illegal immigrants in their custody, many of whom have “extensive criminal backgrounds.”

The Department of Homeland Security has issued 14,766 detainers to New York law enforcement entities, Mullin noted, for migrants accused of a total of 47,750 felony charges.

At least 258 foreign nationals are being held currently on murder charges, the secretary said.

“Silence. Absolute silence is what we’ve got from New York off of those retainers,” Mullin told reporters at DHS headquarters.

Mullin also accused so-called “sanctuary politicians” of having enabled “criminal activity to thrive, not for the American citizens to be safe” and took Mayor Mamdani to task for having said nothing about the off-duty stabbing of an NYPD officer last week, allegedly by an illegal immigrant.

Place blame on defiance Rebels raise risks

THE shooting of Dominican national Oscar Belgal by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer has triggered what are now predictable responses: street protests before the facts are known; demands by sanctuary políticos — including Mayor Mamdani — that the agency be “abolished.”

But if he and others of his ilk truly cared about community safety, he'd be cooperating with immigration enforcement, not trying to gut it.

The Department of Homeland Security claims that Belgal is an illegal alien with ties to the violent Trinitarios gang, and the NYPD has confirmed he has prior arrests for robbery and larceny, and drug charges that are still pending.

Poster boy

Assuming those facts are true, ICE is required under both the immigration laws and the Laken Riley Act — the latter named after a young student killed by an illegal migrant in broad daylight and passed on a bipartisan basis in January 2025 — to take him into custody.

And yet sanctuary cities like New York actively hobble ICE officers' ability to fulfill that federal duty.

Belgal appears to be a poster boy for New York's sanctuary diktats: DHS contends that after he was arrested in December 2023, he "was released into the community a few days later."

Mamdani claims he's "angry" over the incident and has used it to renew his demands that the president "end all ICE actions" in New York.

Such tub-thumping is rich given that the only reason immigration officers are forced to make “street arrests” is because sanctuary honchos like the mayor won’t let ICE into the city’s jails and detention facilities.

Those places are where the agency would prefer to take custody of criminal aliens, for a variety of logical reasons.

“In custody” arrests are the easiest for ICE officers to make. No one enters such a secure place without being thoroughly screened for weapons, and thus in-custody transfers from state and local to federal officials are safer for both ICE and alien suspects.

Street arrests put everybody — ICE officers, aliens and bystanders — at risk. Many, if not most, suspects comply with officers' orders, but when they don't, things can quickly turn to chaos — and cars driven by fleeing fugitives become 2,000-pound unguided missiles.

Reasonable people can disagree over whether ICE should arrest “otherwise law-abiding” aliens.

No sensible argument can be made, however, for policies that impede legitimate law enforcement and hustle criminal aliens back onto the streets to prey on their neighbors and communities, and that force ICE officers to make often risky “at-large” arrests.

That's why sanctuary officials don't make sensible arguments — they demagogue and feign indignity when incidents like this, that their own policies have triggered, happen — and then make demands the majority of Americans will never accept.

"Abolish ICE"? No, Mr. Mayor: "cooperate with ICE," let immigration officers into jails to arrest dangerous criminal aliens, and protect the citizens you have sworn to keep safe.

BORDER CRISIS

DHS BIG:

By EMILY GOODIN

WASHINGTON — Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin accused New York City Mayor Mamdani of incitement in the name of “political theater” Friday over his attacks on immigration officers following the shooting of a suspected migrant gang member in the Bronx a day earlier.

Mullin said he spoke for two hours with Mamdani, who demanded the wounded man, identified by the NYPD as 28-year-old Oscar Belgal, be released and that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents leave the city.

"I'm speaking facts. The mayor speaks with a political tone," Mullin told reporters during a fiery press availability. "His words are dangerous and incite hostility. It doesn't help."

According to the former senator from Oklahoma, President Trump also spoke with the mayor and offered to release Belgal to NYPD custody — only for Mamdani to demand the suspect be put back on the streets.

"We arrest thousands, weekly, that are criminals, and he turns a blind eye to it and won't even stand up for his own NYPD officers that, by the way, protect him every single day," raged Mullin, who also pushed back on Hizzoner's description of Belgal as a "New Yorker."

"You're going to call that a New Yorker?! I think that's a far cry. He said that ICE is rotten to the core. Really? When men and women at ICE each day are enforcing the laws that he refuses to enforce," Mullin said.

Mamdani late Thursday demanded ICE be abolished, blasting the federal agency as “rotten to its core.”

"He said he wants to abolish ICE," Mullin said. "Well, mayor, if you abolish ICE, who's going to take your criminals off the streets of your own town? Who's going to take the murderers and the thieves and the gangbangers?"

“No, we’re not putting a pause on enforcement. I’m sorry, we’re not. In fact, I’m not sorry,” he added. “Our job is to enforce the nation’s laws and go after the worst of the worst, and our men and women do a dang good job at it every single day, and we will not stop doing our job.”

Tensions were high between the federal government and local authorities as Trump prepared to visit Syracuse on Friday afternoon in a prescheduled stop to campaign for Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman.

Here 'illegally'

Mamdani has touted his good relationship with the president as a benefit to New Yorkers, but Trump is also a staunch defender of ICE. The mayor's comments could have a chilling effect.

Mullin was visibly angry as he slammed Mamdani for grand-standing in the wake of the shooting, calling it “political theater and he knows it.”

The mayor reacted furiously to Thursday's incident, claiming ICE agents were endangering New Yorkers.

"We know, and I have said this directly, whether to the president or to the public, ICE undermines public safety. It makes us less safe," the mayor said on Thursday night.

Belgal was in a car with his 5-year-old son when ICE said he defied orders and used his car as a weapon to “accelerate” at federal vehicles and officers.

Federal officials said he was in

the country illegally and wanted in connection with gang-related activity.

Mullin said ICE agents didn't know the 5-year-old was in the car. The child was not harmed in the shooting.

On probation

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed that seven rounds were fired by at least one ICE agent and made it clear that the “NYPD had no involvement in the federal operation prior to the shooting.”

Belgal was shot in the neck and taken to the hospital. Federal officials said Beglal had a detainer on him and was out on probation.

Mullin also was critical of sanctuary city policies — like the one New York has — that prohibit local cooperation with immigration enforcement and said they make citizens “less safe” and bleed over into other areas.

"The criminal activity doesn't stay in the sanctuary cities or the sanctuary states," he said. "It bleeds over to other neighborhoods. It bleeds over to other states. It bleeds over to other areas that they don't want this criminal activity."

Beat it, Tisch: pol

Presumptive lefty New York congresswoman Darializa Avila-Chevalier called for the city's top cop to resign Friday, accusing the NYPD of colluding with and protecting the "militia" of immigration enforcement officials after a federal agent shot a suspected migrant gang member in The Bronx.

She raged in a nearly 400-word screed on social media against Mayor Mamdani's NYPD commissioner, Jessica Tisch, accusing her of violating city laws that bar police from assisting immigration officials.

“Instead of condemning ICE's violence, Police Commissioner Tisch attempted to justify the shooting by reading off our neighbor's past interactions with police,” claimed the NY-13 House candidate. “The NYPD spent more time protecting a militia that just shot someone than protecting New Yorkers.” Craig McCarthy

Civil war inside NYC DSA over Zo

A civil war is brewing inside the DSA over its support of Mayor Mamdani — with his socialist comrades up in arms over his attendance at an Oct. 7 vigil and support of NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.

Youth chapters within the New York City Democratic Socialists of America endorsed a protest outside City Hall on Wednesday — the anniversary of Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel — condemning the mayor's “failures to uphold his commitment to the Palestinian Liberation Movement.”

Sources said the heads of the local chapter moved swiftly to try to tamp down the public criticism of youth chapters who endorsed the rally. But Mamdani was still heckled by the protesters during a candlelit vigil for the victims later Wednesday at Union Square.

"Zohran you can't hide, we charge you with genocide," they chanted at Hizzoner, who remained stone-faced through the jeers from his anti-Israel comrades.

Screenshots of internal group chats from NYC-DSA's "Anti-War Working Group" obtained by The Post show members raging after leadership apparently threatened to pull the youth chapters' funding and told them to stop using "pro-Hamas dog whistles" — calling it "unambiguously racist" and "inexcusable."

DSA-NYC co-chairs Grace Mausser and Gustavo Gordillo did not respond to requests for comment Friday.

Kat: Give us 'credit'

Kat: School grant program opt-in

This program has the potential to bring millions of additional dollars to New York students.

By CARL CAMPANILE

Gov. Hochul is officially opting New York into a federal “education freedom” tax credit scholarship program championed by President Trump that could benefit more than 2.7 million New York public, parochial and private school students — despite opposition from the powerful teachers’ union.

Hochul announced Friday her backing of the program for the next school year after reviewing regulations issued last week by the Treasury Department and the IRS.

The Education Freedom Tax Credit approved by Congress and Trump last year provides a 100% federal tax credit to individuals for donations of up to \$1,700 annually to approved scholarship-granting organizations.

Up to governors

The nonprofit groups would then offer scholarships, which families from all private schools could use to defray tuition costs.

Public school students are also eligible for scholarships to cover tutoring, after-school programs or transportation costs.

Under the law, the governor of each state has to decide whether to opt in or out of what the Trump administration calls the “school choice” program.

Thirty mostly Republican-led states already joined and Hochul becomes the most prominent Democratic governor from a large blue state to opt in.

"I've been clear from the start that New York would participate in the federal scholarship tax credit program if, and only if, all schools and students, including those in our public schools, could benefit," Hochul told The Post. "After a careful review of the federal regulations, we believe this program has the potential to bring millions of additional dollars to New York students and families without taking a single dollar from our state or local budgets.

"I'm not going to leave money on the table when it could help our kids."

Having New York opt in to the program has been the top policy priority of coalitions representing parochial schools — the Teach Coalition for Jewish schools or yeshivas and the New York Catholic Conference on behalf of their religious schools.

'Apprehensive'

But leaders of the teachers' unions and other public school advocates — including the NAACP and the NYCLU — claimed the program is a back-door privatization scheme aimed at siphoning taxpayer dollars from public schools.

The state's legislative leaders — —Gov. Hochul opting into a scholarship program championed by President Trump

Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D-Yonkers) and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx) — this week joined the unions in opposing the Empire State's participation in the program.

"I am apprehensive about this federal proposal and have serious reservations about the potential impact it could have on public schools across New York State," Stewart-Cousins said.

United Federation of Teachers President Mike Mulgrew blasted the move.

"This isn't about education," Mulgrew said. "It is about the federal government worming its way into classrooms across the state."

BOB MILONE Screamed at town big.

Hwy. boss makes a scene at presser

A wild video captured a suburban New York highway boss being restrained as he screamed at a town supervisor during a press conference Thursday — sparking a police report and probe into workplace violence.

Clarkstown Highway Superintendent Bob Milone is seen exploding on Town Supervisor George Hoehmann during a public announcement over repairs on a trailway around Congers Lake, in the clip filmed by the Rockland Daily.

“What you say to me, what you say to me? Who the hell do you think you're talking to, George? You could bully everybody else in this town,” Milone yelled at Hoehmann as a man tried to restrain him from attacking the town supervisor. “You could bully everybody else in this town. Stop bullying people, George!” he yelled before finally walking away from the scene.

The town of Clarkstown — a suburban enclave in Rockland County — confirmed Friday that a police report was filed and a formal workplace investigation has been launched.

It is unclear who filed the police report. Zoe Hussain

'Cane's a crusher on Gulf Coast

Hurricane Isaias has made landfall as a Category 2 as it bears down on the northern Gulf Coast, triggering dangerous conditions across the region.

Landfall came around 9 p.m. between Pensacola and Destin, Fla., as the eyewall moves inland.

More than 30 million people across Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia are expected to experience the worst of Isaias' impacts, while rain from the storm's remnants will spread across more than 15 states in the eastern U.S. after landfall this weekend.

Isaias was previously a Category 3 hurricane, but as of an 8 p.m. National Hurricane Center advisory, the dangerous storm slightly weakened to a Category 2.

The storm is currently about 50 miles south of Pensacola, Fla., with sustained winds of 105 mph as it moves north at 19 mph.

\$31 MIL SCRIPT SCHEME Qns. 'pharma fraud

By DANIEL CODY

A crooked Queens pharmacist reportedly ran a \$31 million Medicaid buyback scheme — pocketing millions off black-market HIV drugs to fund a lavish lifestyle, prosecutors said Thursday.

Miguel Baron, 62, operated the massive, multiyear fraud scheme out of his two Jackson Heights storefronts, Guardiola Pharmacy and Baron Specialty Pharmacy, and blew the illegally earned cash on luxury properties and cars and World Cup tickets, according to the New York attorney general's office.

From January 2023 to April 2026, Baron paid cash kickbacks to Medicaid patients who filled their HIV prescriptions at his stores in exchange for black-market drugs and bought others' prescriptions for pennies on the dollar before rebilling Medicaid full price, the AG alleged.

Baron was arrested at LaGuardia Airport, where he was trying to flee the country, and charged with grand larceny, health care fraud, money laundering and prohibited practices by a medical assistance provider.

"Taking advantage of vulnerable New Yorkers to steal tens of millions of dollars from Medicaid is despicable," Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement.

"Pharmacy owners who exploit patients with medication buyback schemes are putting New Yorkers' health at serious risk," James warned.

With his \$31 million in winnings, Baron, alongside his partner pharmacist Hamid Hosseinipour, purchased luxury homes in Miami, pre-construction waterfront condominiums, and high-end real estate developments in Queens.

How it worked

Patients brought their HIV prescriptions to the shops, where drivers or store staff handed them \$150 to \$200 cash kickbacks in envelopes.

The pharmacies then bought back the patients' unopened medication for about \$400.

Workers then used lighter fluid to strip the labels off the bottles before repeatedly re-dispensing the recycled pills and fraudulently billing Medicaid full price every time, according to authorities.

Some HIV medications, like Bik-tarvy, can cost pharmacies up to \$150 per pill, according to court documents, resulting in enormous profits.

Taxpayer-funded programs like Medicaid and AIDS Drug Assistance Program reimbursed the pharmacies at sky-high rates of \$4,000 to \$4,500 for 30-day bottles of antivirals like Biktarvy, Discovy, Prezcobix and Truvada.

Chicago apt. frenzy

Chicago may have lost some of its biggest billionaires, but finding an apartment in the Windy City has never been more competitive.

Despite years of headlines about violent crime, corporate departures and wealthy residents heading for sunnier pastures, Chicago has overtaken Miami to become America's most competitive rental market, according to a new Rent-Cafe report.

An average of 17 prospective renters competed for every available apartment during the peak 2026 leasing season, with vacancies filling in just 27 days.

Even Manhattan couldn't match Chicago's rental frenzy.

The New York City borough tied for fourth nationally, with 12 prospective renters chasing each available apartment and 96% of units occupied. Emily Fu

B'klyn nabe blows its parking break

By KATHERINE DONLEVY

They trashed their chance.

Prospect Heights drivers proved they are too lazy, greedy and dirty for the privilege of dropping their alternate-side parking rules to just two days a week, according to city officials and records.

The leafy Brooklyn nabe miserably failed the eight-week pilot program — which took ASP parking days from four to two — with a little more than half its drivers finding the willpower to move their cars for the 1½-hour inconvenience, officials revealed Thursday.

Drivers racked up an incredible 913 ASP summonses during the pilot, which ran from Aug. 3 through Sept. 25, according to the city's Sanitation Department.

At an average of 457 tickets per month, Prospect Heights drivers were actually receiving more summonses than they were when alternate-side rules were in effect for double the amount of time.

It got even worse

CURBING THEIR ENTHUSIASM: Cars line a Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, street where a trial program reducing alternate-side parking from four to two days a week resulted in even more tickets (inset).

Just 62% of drivers actually moved their cars for the reduced alternate-side parking days — dropping from 73% the month before the testing program went into effect.

The result was visibly dirtier streets, the DSNY said.

City Council member Crystal Hudson, who pushed for the pilot program, theorizes that drivers fell asleep at the wheel — with many deciding the cost of a \$65 ticket was worth keeping their coveted spot in the notoriously spot in the notoriously hard-to-park neighborhood.

"For people who count the tickets as just the cost of owning a car in New York City, maybe they'd rather just get one ticket than two," Hudson told Gothamist.

"There's definitely a lot of disappointment. I'm disappointed. I was hoping to have it become a permanent change. But we've got

to do better." Regular ASP rules have resumed in the neighborhood — meaning drivers are

back to enduring four-day street sweeping.

It also means Prospect Heights drivers have lost their right to whine about the annoying multi-week car dance that comes with the routine.

Hudson said her office has for years fielded requests from residents who question whether the twice-weekly sweepings per side of the road were necessary — especially because it leads to the nabe being littered with more double parking than trash.

Why there's a rule

The pilot program testing the theory reduced ASP to two days for a roughly 10-by-two-block area from Atlantic Avenue to Eastern Parkway, between Vanderbilt Avenue and Grand Avenue.

It was meant to be a “carrot-and-stick” type of approach that promised less enforcement if there was more compliance — but drivers proved too lazy.

“We estimate that citywide, about 500,000 cars every week fail to move for the street sweeper. This has a real impact on the look and feel of our streets — no one likes seeing litter along the curbline, and the street sweeper can pick up 1,500 pounds of litter on an average shift — but even more than that, litter on the street ends up in the catchbasins and sewers and can make flooding worse,” a DSNY spokesperson said.

Sewer mole people multiply

The mystery of the mole men continued early Friday morning when an unidentified crew emerged from an Upper East Side manhole and quickly sped away in a truck, cops and sources said.

The five figures were spotted climbing out of a steamy pit at 82nd Street and East End Avenue under the cover of darkness around 2:10 a.m., according to police.

Witnesses told cops that four men and one woman appeared from underground before zooming off in a black truck, law enforcement sources said.

The motive is unclear.

This suspicious sighting follows a string of sewer-diving incidents across the city.

Two men, Kevin Rodriguez and Samuel Reveron, were arrested last month after their romp beneath an Upper East Side hotel where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been staying while in town for the UN General Assembly.

Rodriguez said he plunged into the sewer looking for gold, though sewer system experts claim there is nothing of monetary value to be found underground.

This summer, another trio of mole men wearing overalls and headlamps crawled out of the ground a block away from Madison Square Garden.

Police said no arrests have been made in Friday's sighting.

DEP guilty of eco-crime pre-9/11

The city agency tasked with protecting residents' air and water was convicted of federal environmental crimes — just weeks before the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, newly unearthed documents reveal.

The stunning revelation about crimes committed by the Department of Environmental Protection was included in a trove of 170,000 secret, 9/11-related city records released by Mayor Mamdani's administration.

The documents dump includes letters that the Manhattan US Attorney's Office submitted in federal court years after the World Trade Center was attacked.

The department pleaded guilty to discharging mercury-contaminated water into a tributary of an up-state New York reservoir that supplied the city's tap water, in violation of the Clean Water Act. The violation occurred in 1998, the DEP said. The DEP also pleaded guilty to the unauthorized use of PCB-contaminated machines.

A DEP spokesperson said Thursday it has “strengthened and expanded” its compliance programs.

Deadly Mercedes maniac

A reckless Mercedes driver trying to beat the light whizzed through a Bronx intersection and mowed down four pedestrians — killing one — in a wild broad daylight scene Friday, law enforcement sources said.

The driver was heading west on Allerton Avenue when he blew through a steady red light at the Holland Avenue intersection around 2:15 p.m. and hit four women — between the ages of 50 and 60 — crossing in the crosswalk, according to the sources.

They were taken to Jacobi Medical Center, where one woman died, and two were listed in critical condition, the sources said. Joe Marino

VITALII ZHYKOVYCH Claims over plot.

Ukraine assassin intrigue

A former Ukrainian security officer charged with murdering the would-be assassin who tried to blow up a Russia-linked oligarch in Monaco claimed he was told that the Kyiv regime green-lit the plot.

Vitalii Zhykovych, who is holed up in a Ukrainian prison over the July killing, claimed former intelligence officer Vladyslav Reut's idea "proposed the operation" to try and kill sanctioned Ukrainian tycoon Vadym Yermolaiev, the BBC reported Thursday.

Yermolaiev, his partner, Anna Nasobina, and his 13-year-old son were injured as a result of the explosion, triggered by a parcel bomb that was planted outside his apartment on June 29 by Anastasiaa Berezovska, whom Zhykovych described as his "agent."

Berezovska was found with gunshot wounds to her head in Kyiv on July 7 — a week after the explosion. Chris Bradford

Serial slays haunt Mich.

A serial killer is feared to be targeting homeless people in Michigan's state capital after a string of similar deaths were discovered along a hiking trail.

At least five deaths have been reported along a short stretch of a river trail in Lansing since last October — with all of the victims appearing to be homeless people who were “potentially even sleeping,” Lansing Police Chief Robert Backus said at a press conference.

The five deaths were all of white men between the ages of 22 and 70. Ella Morrison

FLACK'S DON-GENDA

By EMILY GOODIN

WASHINGTON — Katie Zacharia, a former Department of Homeland Security spokesperson, will be the White House press secretary, President Trump announced, describing her as a "loyal and brilliant supporter."

Zacharia is a longtime backer of Trump and a fixture on conservative media, particularly on Fox News. She's also contributed op-eds to The Post.

Not well-known to the public, Trump noted her ties to his team in his announcement and her long career in Republican politics.

“She was previously involved in my Campaigns, assisting in key Swing States, where we won 7 out of 7,” Trump noted.

“She has an unblemished record of support, and has been a loyal and brilliant supporter, right from the beginning. She is, likewise, a devoted fan and member of MAGA!” the president said.

Succeeds Leavitt

Zacharia works at Fix California, an organization founded by Trump special envoy Ric Grenell that is focused on advancing the conservative agenda in The Golden State. She also advises the Trump Media & Technology Group, which is the president's social media company.

She will replace Karoline Leavitt, who left the job in August to spend more time with her family following the birth of her second child May 1.

Zacharia spent about three months at the Department of Homeland Security earlier this year, leaving the agency after Markwayne Mullin took over as secretary in March.

While at DHS, she was reported to be close to then-Secretary Kristi Noem and her special adviser Corey Lewandowski.

Zacharia's appointment could upend the dynamics of Trump's inner circle, due to Lewandowski and Grenell's long-standing distaste for White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.

But Trump said he was confident the 42-year-old would fit right in with his team.

“She has the respect of, and will work fantastically with, the Media, the American People, and my Administration,” he wrote in a Truth Social post, ending it with: “Good luck Katie.”

TELLING HIS STORY: President Trump named Katie Zacharia (left) as the new White House press secretary, succeeding Karoline Leavitt. She has a long background in GOP politics.

Zacharia named new press spox

A mom of four, Zacharia blamed the long commute from California for her departure from DHS, telling Just the News it put a strain on her family.

GOP fixture

The job of press secretary is one of the more visible positions in any White House, requiring regular on-camera briefings with reporters as well as stand-alone television news appearances.

Zacharia has a long background in Republican politics, having interned for the Republican National Committee while she was attending Pepperdine University and worked in the White House Office of Political Affairs during George W. Bush's second term.

Mass. cop 'lulled' vic before kill: feds

BOSTON — A Massachusetts cop allegedly “lulled” Sandra Birchmore into a false sense of safety before killing her to cover up their affair, a prosecutor claimed as a jury was shown her final text messages.

When an ecstatic Birchmore, 23, texted her then-Stoughton cop beau Matthew

Farwell she was pregnant, he viciously responded, “You are truly the worst person on the face of Earth,” prosecutor Torey Cummings alleged during opening statements at Farwell’s federal trial Friday.

But a married Farwell — who allegedly began sexually abusing Birchmore when she was just 15 — made “a complete 180” in the days leading up to Birchmore’s Feb. 1, 2021, murder, no longer acting angry toward her, the prosecutor claimed.

The 6-foot-4 cop allegedly strangled the 5-foot Birchmore with the strap of a duffel bag and then staged the scene to look like a suicide,

Cummings claimed.

Farwell allegedly killed Birchmore the day before his wife had their third child to keep her quiet, prosecutors claimed.

DNA testing conducted after the fact revealed Farwell was not the father of Birchmore's unborn child, though they both believed he was, Cummings explained.

Farwell's defense attorney, Kimberly Stevens, insisted Birchmore killed herself, as she reiterated a history of mental health problems.

Farwell has pleaded not guilty and faces life in prison if convicted.

A HIT 'PEACE' BY DON

Reposts Nobel slap

By STEVEN NELSON and VICTOR NAVA

No justice, no peace! President Trump reposted a scathing statement Friday denouncing Nobel Peace Prize winner Navi Pillay — after he was snubbed from receiving the award for the second straight year — noting that the former United Nations official had accused Israel of genocide.

And at a rally in Syracuse, NY, he tore into the five-person Norwegian Nobel Committee. "The United

States of America, represented by me as your president, should have received the Nobel Peace Prize, but didn't," he said.

Earlier, he conveyed that the Nobel panel “shamed itself beyond

NAVJ PILLAY 'Goebbels approves.'

repair and demeaned the once great Nobel Peace Prize by giving it to the UN's Navi Pillay. Pillay is an unabashed hater of America and Israel," the reposted statement from the Alabama and Georgia-based Schoen Law Firm read.

“In her position she celebrated terrorists and rewarded Hamas. She conducted a phony ‘investigation’ claiming to find that Israel committed genocide and urging prosecution. She has no credibility in any normal sphere and has never done a thing to foster peace. Just the opposite. But what could be expected from a committee that previously gave the once coveted peace prize to Yasser Arafat?”

Trump for years has said the panel should select him for his role in mediating world conflicts.

The five-person Norwegian Nobel Committee honored Pillay for her “role as a driving force in the development of an international system of law and order.”

“An international legal system in which war criminals are held to account and the victims of abuse see justice served is a precondition for a peaceful world,” the panel wrote.

Pillay, a South Africa-born lawyer of Indian heritage,

led the UN In- dependent In- ternational Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Pale- stinian Terri- tory between 2021 and 2025.

In September 2025, the panel assessed that Israel committed genocide during the Gaza during the Gaza war against Hamas.

The Israeli foreign ministry ripped Pillay's award, saying in a statement that "[Nazi propaganda chief] Joseph Goebbels is certainly applauding from hell."

"If there were an award for lies, hatred and blood libels, Navi Pillay wouldn't just be a contender. She'd be a frontrunner," the ministry said.

"Awarding Pillay the Nobel Peace Prize isn't a recognition of justice. It's the grotesque weaponization of an award to legitimize anti-Israel hatred and prejudice."

Pillay, 85, previously served as a judge on the International Criminal Court between 2003 and 2008 and previously led the tribunal investigating the 1994 Rwanda genocide tribunal.

Trump: Columbus is my guy!

President Trump Friday claimed to have resurrected Christopher Columbus from cancel culture, and blasted “radical left communists” who tried to destroy the explorer’s legacy.

Trump lauded the famous Italian American's accomplishments at a White House ceremony as he prepares to add a statue of Columbus to the Rose Garden, where it will join statues of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson.

"I resurrected Christopher Columbus," he announced to great applause. "He's been rehabbed 100 percent."

The president already has one statue of Columbus in DC, in front of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House. On Friday, he unveiled a second Rose Garden statue, which depicts the explorer surrounded by four female figures symbolizing Europe, America, Asia and Africa. Emily Goodin

Fired ‘stalker’ cop in ad for pol

A recent ad by Rep. Monica De La Cruz spotlighted an endorsement from a cop who was reportedly fired from his prior job last year for alleged sexual harassment and stalking of a co-worker, The Post has learned.

The ad featured a man named “Deputy Garcia” from Goliad County, Texas, ripping into her Democratic foe, Latin Grammy winner Bobby Pulido, as “anti-cop.”

De La Cruz's (R-Texas) campaign insists it was unaware of the cop's backstory when it shot the ad in June and noted that public reports of the cop's past behavior didn't emerge until August.

Photos, work history, and other evidence reviewed by

The Post indicate that the cop, Deputy Zachary Garcia, was fired from the Wilson County Sheriff's Office last year due to accusations that he harassed a female dispatcher who cut things off with him. Ryan King

Diddy's prison 'cell' rap

The saga continues for Diddy.

Disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was slapped with one of “the most serious” penalties at his low-security federal prison after his pampered life behind bars made headlines, NBC News reported.

Combs, 56, has been sanctioned by prison officials at the FCI Fort Dix lockup in New Jersey for "disruptive conduct," the outlet reported, citing a union official familiar with the matter.

The “Act Bad” rapper was stripped of 41 days of what's known as good conduct time, union secretary for AFGE Local 506 Jose Rojas told NBC.

The penalty, according to Rojas, is often given to inmates found with contraband cellphones — something Diddy reportedly snuck into his federal lockup and used to look at nude and sexually explicit photos sent by an old girlfriend.

Rojas noted that the punishment on illegal devices is enforced “because you can put a hit on somebody with a phone in prison.”

After being deprived of good conduct time, Combs' scheduled prison release date has been pushed back from January 2028 to March of that year, according to NBC. Ella Morrison

Hitler elex win in Peru

A left-wing politician who shares his name with fascist dictators Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini has become the mayor of a Peruvian town just one year after he resigned from a right-wing populist party.

Hitler Mussolini Simeon Flores, 45, prevailed with 34% of the vote in Sunday's election in Queropalca, running on a center-left ticket for Peru's Ahora Nacion (Now Nation) party.

It's unclear when the politician joined the Ahora Nacion party, but he was previously a member of the right-wing Popular Force party before resigning in 2025. Chris Bradford

'Mom'-a mia, this is dreck 'Other' flix to go see

LEASE go see Other Movie.

P LEASE go see Other Movie. When a studio screens their film for the press at 6:30 p.m. on a Thursday — well after the public in some cities can already pay to see it — that is not a promising sign.

Such is the case with “Other Mommy,” the rancid new horror flick starring Jessica Chastain (left) that for 93 minutes I longed to be emancipated from. Should you masochists make it to the end, you will feel noticeably dumber after you leave.

Directed by Rob Savage, moronic "Other Mommy" has been coasting for months on the anticipation built by its creepy trailer, which showed an Oscar-winning actress unnervingly playing dual roles: a suburban mom and her sinister doppelgänger that menacingly stalks a child.

That viral clip also included the movie's sole successful moment: A grinning woman cooking pasta for her little daughter. But there's something off about her. She's not Mommy at all — she's Other Mommy! That's the very first scene. There's nothing even slightly scary after that, despite Chastain being so admirably intense it looks like she's trying to force an aneurysm.

Savage claimed there are upward of 50 jump scares in his movie. I counted just 22. That led me to beg an existential question: If nobody jumps or is scared, what exactly is a jump scare?

Johnny Oleksinski MOVIE REVIEW

The idea of Nathan Elston's screenplay isn't really a new one. Malevolent imaginary friends also haunt kids in movies like "Come Play" or, in a way, "The Babadook." Those meh-to-terrific tales tap into base-level youthful fears: What's in the closet? What's under the bed?

OTHER MOMMY Scary? No. Dumb? Definitely. Running time: 93 minutes. Rated R (some bloody violence and language). In theaters.

Of course, here, the only question is: Did the filmmakers kidnap Chastain?! The movie begins with a delusional quote from Greek mythology, as if it's a biopic of Winston Churchill and not a defective reject from the schlock factory. The words are credited to Erebus, a being born of chaos who's the god of darkness, about his desire to become human.

That's also the dream of evil Other Mommy, who lives in little Bela's closet and comes out when her parents, Ursula and Russell (Chastain and Jay Duplass), are away. "Let me into your heart," she says.

It's difficult to grasp the rules of this creature, who can also morph into other people. My best guess is there aren't any. For instance, in one stupid sequence that's trying to be Stephen King's "It," the family is in a fast food restaurant play area, when Other Mommy follows Bela into the ball pit. At the end, somehow the plastic balls teleport into their car, the girl's bedroom and, the biggest stumper, the ocean.

Later on, a ghost hunter declares, "We're not afraid of you, Other Mommy! Your fun is over!" Savage and Elston try to pump in some backstory and drama. Ursula has been stepping

out on the marriage with the couple's friend Frank (Arian Moayed), and her supernatural-obsessed mom Ruth (Karen Allen) is estranged from the family.

But those feeble attempts at story and Chastain's commitment can't pave over a complete lack of build, skillful pacing and fright. Russell and Ursula discover Other Mommy in the movie's first 10 minutes, never once doubt its existence and ultimately try to kill it using an ax and a meat cleaver.

Who brings a knife to a god fight?

Before that thoughtless climax, Ursula points to a table covered in sharp, dangerous weapons and tells her 8-year-old child to "pick one."

Tempting!

Spidey ex to web finance scion

The news brings some clarity to an odd recent development: Jennifer settled her dangling divorce with "Spider-Man" star Tobey Maguire last week, a full decade after they split.

cludes Kate Hudson, Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow, it's likely to be an affair full of boldface names.

Buzz before the weekend was that Leonardo DiCaprio — famously a BFF of Maguire's — was expected on the island, as well as Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.

Geoff, who, at 34, is 15 years younger than jewelry designer Meyer, is a music exec who's worked for Warner Music Group and Lyor Cohen's 300 Entertainment, and now owns his own management company, the Ogunlesi Group.

They reportedly met in 2023, got engaged the following year and had a daughter earlier this year. (It was the first child for the groom and the third for the bride, who has a daughter, 19, and a son, 17, with Maguire.)

Meyer has told People, “Geoff loves [To-bey], and he loves Geoff. And so everything just works.”

Maguire and Meyer were also married in Hawaii, in Kona on the Big Island.

Geoff's father, Nigerian lawyer and businessman Adebayo, sold his investment firm Global Infrastructure Partners — which owns London's Gatwick airport and Edinburgh airport, among other assets — to BlackRock in 2024 and joined its board as part of the deal.

We hear famed wedding planner Mindy Weiss put the nuptials together.

CRYSTAL Hefner begged Jessica Biel (above) to “reconsider” her role as Hugh Hefner’s wife in the forthcoming “Playmates” film. “Please reconsider playing Hugh Hefner’s ‘wife’ if this film is to romanticize him or the Playboy world,” the “Girl Next Door” alum, who was wed to the Playboy head from 2012 until his death in 2017, wrote in an Instagram direct message to Biel. “I was actually his wife, and I experienced sexual, emotional, financial and physical abuse,” she alleged. Biel’s character will be fictional, despite Hugh having been married three times.

BRITTANY Howard, whose Grammy-winning band Alabama Shakes just dropped their first album in 11 years, reminisced about when they started out. "Our first show was about 30 minutes long and we played a bunch of covers," she said at the intimate Soho Sessions show, where the crowd included David Schwimmer, Christy Turlington, Susie Essman, Chris Meloni, Kim Cattrall and Edie Falco. "It was my first time singing and getting paid. We got \$200, and I was like, 'Wow.' To me, that was a light bill, an electric bill. I didn't know I could do something I loved and could also get paid for it."

DEMI Moore nearly lost her role in "St. Elmo's Fire" to Madonna after allegedly showing up "drunk and high" to a fitting for the 1985 film. Director Joel Schumacher and producer Lauren Shuler Donner "met with Demi," co-writer Carl Kurlander said on Kate Casey's podcast, when Schumacher told Moore (above), "Go kill yourself on someone else's movie." Kurlander claimed Donner, "God bless her, worked out a plan with Joel," and they told Moore, "Look, if you can clean yourself up in 10 days, you can be in this movie." Kurlander said Schumacher, whom he called his "mentor," had met Madonna, thought she was "going to be the biggest star in the world" and "was all ready to offer the part" of Jules Van Patten to her — but Moore began going to AA meetings, got a sober companion and kept her gig.

'Dearly departed' body flub

A grieving daughter showed up to her late mother's open-casket viewing in South Carolina to say her goodbyes, but instead found someone else in the coffin — wearing her mom's "Sunday best," a shocking lawsuit claims.

Iris Gordon signed a \$13,820 contract with Ocean View Funeral Home for a wake and graveside service after Iris Evans, 87, died in January, only for Gordon to be shocked by what she saw when she went to pay her respects, according to a lawsuit, obtained by The Post, filed Thursday in Horry County.

Ocean View Staff allegedly acknowledged the funeral home had erred, and the proper body was substituted for a new viewing.

Gordon is seeking the cost of the services, \$13,820, plus unspecified damages.

Ocean View did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment. Zoe Hussain

Pike psych trauma Cognition woe from botched execution

By ALEX DIAZ

Christa Pike is suffering "cognitive challenges" and "profound psychological trauma" after her bungled execution, her lawyers revealed.

The 50-year-old death row inmate regained consciousness on Tuesday after surviving two botched attempts to put her to death using lethal injection at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville on Sept. 30.

"While her physical recovery has been remarkable, significant questions remain about the long-term effects of what she endured," her lawyers said in a statement.

1995 killing

"Christa is dealing with the profound psychological trauma of having survived a failed execution, including the terror, pain and uncertainty of believing she was about to die."

“Christa also continues to experience cognitive challenges with concentration and memory,” the attorneys added.

Pike was sentenced to death for the brutal murder of her 19-year-old Job Corps classmate, Colleen Slemmer, in Jan. 1995, when she was 18.

Her legal team believed she was brain dead on Monday night and would be taken off life support the following day — hours before she woke up Tuesday morning and began walking with help on Wednesday afternoon.

In their statement, the attorneys said that her arms -- which were significantly injured during the attempted execution — had begun to heal and regain movement.

“Her lungs are clear, and she has started to eat a regular diet,” they said. “Physicians are encouraged by her physical recovery.”

Firsts

Pike was set to become the first woman executed in Tennessee in over 200 years, but instead became the first person believed to have survived lethal injection doses in the US.

Outgoing Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee paused all remaining executions this year and ordered an independent review into what went wrong.

In their statement, Pike's lawyers renewed their call for Gov. Lee to commute Pike's sentence to life in prison without

Dementia death-row clemency

One of Florida's longest-serving death row inmates has been spared execution amid reports he is suffering from dementia — 50 years after he was convicted of a torture murder.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis withdrew William Thompson's death warrant Thursday — just five days before the 74-year-old killer's scheduled execution for the savage beating death of Sally Ivester in 1976, what cops at the time called Miami-Dade's "meanest murder."

DeSantis didn't explain why he withdrew Thompson's death warrant in a letter he sent to Florida State Prison Warden Randall Polk, which has been viewed by The Post. He had only signed the death warrant Sept. 11.

But the withdrawal comes as reports say Thompson has dementia.

YOU Griffin's 'buy and build city' in Miami

By MARY K. JACOB

Plenty of billionaires buy a mansion in Miami. Ken Griffin seems to be buying the parts list for a city.

The Citadel founder, whose fortune Forbes pegs at about \$60 billion, already controls most of a block in the financial district, a seven-lot spread on Star Island and a private dock for his 308-foot yacht. On Sept. 30, he added a college campus.

Griffin closed on roughly 30 acres of Wynwood for \$1.1 billion in cash, a purchase the seller's company billed as

the biggest land assemblage Florida has ever seen. That same day, Carnegie Mellon University said he was giving it \$3 billion, which the school calls the largest gift an individual has ever made to higher education. Two-thirds of that money is earmarked for a Miami outpost on the site, planned for more than 3,500 students and nearly 300 faculty. Construction is slated for 2027, with the first students due in 2028.

Aiming high

One source likened his continuing investments in Miami as “a man building his own city within a city.”

Griffin himself is not under- selling it.

"The opportunity to bring one of the greatest universities in the United States of America to Miami will change the very fabric of this city for centuries to come," he said in public comments last week. "This may be the most impactful investment I will make in my lifetime — both for Miami and for our nation."

So is one man stitching together his own town inside the Magic City?

CARNEGIE MELLON CAMPUS IN WYNWOOD

HE'S ONLY JUST BEGUN: Citadel CEO Ken Griffin (inset) is pumping billions of dollars into Miami real estate for himself and others, both in what he's already bought and what he's trying to build.

Some brokers wince at the la- bel.

"I think building his own city is kind of a provocative way of putting it," Douglas Elliman broker Devin Kay told The Post. "But when you look at the scale of what's happening, you understand why people are kind of phrasing it that way."

Corcoran's Mick Duchon offered a gentler version.

"It's not that he's building a city within a city, but he's helping the city evolve and creating depth," he said.

The receipts back up the hype. In Brickell, Griffin paid \$363 mil-

SEVEN LOTS ON STAR ISLAND

lion in 2022 for a 2.5-acre bayfront lot where a 54-story Citadel headquarters is planned. He spent another \$286.5 million on the office tower next door, bought out every unit in a neighboring 22-story condo building he intends to raze and added 300 apartments to the blueprint. In July, the city agreed to sell him a historic cottage, the last holdout on the block, for about \$3 million.

A few miles north, he teamed with Goldman Properties in January to buy the 545wyn office building for roughly \$180 million. Then came the Wynwood land from developer Moishe Mana, who has said he spent about \$70 million piecing together his holdings there starting in 2009.

Record setting

Then there is where Griffin sleeps. He paid \$106.9 million in 2022 for a Coconut Grove estate, the first Miami home to crack nine figures. His Star Island lots ran about \$169 million. And because a boat that size needs parking, he won approval for a private marina on Terminal Island, where a proposed helipad has nearby condo owners up in arms over noise.

Brokers say the shopping list matters less than what it adds up to.

“Griffin isn’t just simply buying Miami real estate, he’s investing in the infrastructure of a city, whether that be business, education, housing and talent,” Kay said.

The school plugs a hole that has long dogged the city's corporate ambitions, according to Duchon.

“Part of the reason some larger corporations historically haven’t moved their headquarters to Miami is because of the talent pool,” he said, adding that Griffin is “baking in future growth” and “bringing permanence to the market.”

Doe's hunt for 'rat'

By PATRICK REILLY

The Cornell student accusing seven frat brothers of gang raping her had worked with one of them to try to find the “rat” talking about them having sex at a party — claiming they needed to “grow up” and be more open-minded about what went on, according to a fresh batch of text messages.

Just four days after the Chi Phi fraternity party where the student now claims she was drugged and raped, Jane Doe texted student Matthew Ingalls in a panic claiming “everybody knows” about them having sex, leaving her “incredibly stressed out,” messages obtained by TMZ show.

'Reputation'

Ingalls sympathized after the accuser complained about some "random bitch" telling her friends.

“Dude I have no f—king idea, this sh-t is incredibly frustrating and I know how fast nonsense spreads at this school,” responded Ingalls, who later claimed he was the one assaulted while too drunk to consent.

"It's fan behavior from everyone talking about it. Boring people who have nothing to do with their time," texted Ingalls, who Doe later said instigated the alleged 2024 gang rape.

Doe said the rumors were "f—king RUINING my life" and that she wanted to sniff out "the rats."

"My reputation is destroyed and i'm utterly ashamed. i'm f—king pissed because this many people shouldn't know and i feel like i know who some of the rats in the room were," she texted him.

HAUNTING HOUSE: Chi Phi Fraternity House on the Cornell campus in which a gang rape allegedly took place.

She added that the rumors were not only spreading like wildfire but were growing “crazier every f—king day.”

“Stupid bitches like to yap, and the fact they’re doing it shows that they’re jealous of you for any number of reasons,” Ingalls shot back.

"The only shameful thing is how this spread and how much people won't shut up about it — which just reflects poorly on them tbh," he added.

Doe agreed that the gossips are “jealous” and threatened to beat up anyone who gives them “sh-t” about what happened while also opening up how she’s “open-minded” about sexuality.

“...but also like everyone needs to grow up cause sexuality and sex and sh-t is changing and stuff like this is going to become more common,” she said, while adding that she is “also really open-minded tho.”

Doe later said she suspected of another Cornell fraternity brother she accused of taking part in the sexual assault, Jonathan Newell, of having loose lips.

"Jonathan def told people. I heard something today and i know he told people," she texted Ingalls.

Ingalls denied Newell said anything, and suggested some upper-classman may have been spreading the word.

Doe responded that a female student who confronted her "wouldn't tell me who she heard it from cause it's one of her friends."

Ingalls apologized and promised “these idiots will move on and it’ll be done with.”

More than a week later, on November 7, Ingalls tells Doe that his ex-girlfriend told him he's now been labeled a sexual abuser on campus — and asked if Doe had made those allegations against him. preilly@nypost.com

Suspect was party 'sober monitor'

One of the “Cornell 7” frat boys accused of raping a classmate was a “sober monitor” at the party where the alleged incident happened — and so was the alleged victim at a party her own sorority threw that night.

Jonathan Newell was listed as a “trained event monitor” for the party

Cornell's Chi Phi threw Oct. 19, 2024, the same party where Jane Doe alleged a drug-fueled three-some devolved into an hourslong gang rape by multiple brothers, university documents obtained by the New York Times show.

That means Newell was officially tasked with remaining sober during the party while monitoring for underage drinking and overcrowding, and was generally charged with making sure everyone was safe that night.

He was listed as the sober monitor in the official party permit Chi Phi was required to file with the school ahead of time, which allowed the party to run from 10:30 p.m. to midnight.

However, Newell apparently admitted to flouting his sober monitor requirements that night — telling investigators that he'd been guzzling beers and tequila at other parties before arriving at this own, according to the Times.

Doe also was listed as a sober monitor for her sorority party, but started drinking after learning somebody else would be covering her duty.

Doe alleged she became so intoxicated she was no longer able to consent.

All of the accused deny the allegations.

Subway slashing in Bronx

A knife-wielding maniac slashed a stranger in the face on board a Bronx train during the Friday morning rush, cops and sources said.

The victim, 27, was riding a northbound No. 2 train passing through the 225th Street station in Williamsbridge around 9:10 a.m. when an attacker sliced him with the blade, police said.

The victim was taken to Montefiore Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition.

The motive for the assault is unclear, but the two men did not know each other, law enforcement sources said.

The suspect, last seen wearing a black hoodie and navy sweatpants, fled the scene, police said.

The attack came days after NYPD officials revealed transit crime through September edged up slightly compared to the same period last year.

"There were 15 more crimes this year than at this point last year, as an increase of 0.9 percent," Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said.

Tisch also revealed that 48 percent of felony assaults in the subway system so far this year were committed by those with a documented mental health history with the NYPD.

Met-North 'stand'-off

Metro-North riders will have to contend with 30% fewer seats on parts of the New Haven Line for two weekends, transit officials said.

The cuts are planned for Oct. 10-11 and Oct. 17-18, when construction at the Walk Bridge in Norwalk, Conn., will sharply limit service east of Stamford, according to the MTA.

Riders traveling along the New Haven Line between New Haven and Grand Central Terminal should allow extra travel time and expect crowding with fewer trains available than on a typical weekend.

KEEGAN ALLEN Robbed at gunpoint.

Actor's bloodied in holdup

“Pretty Little Liars” star Keegan Allen was robbed at gunpoint and knifepoint Thursday night — later calling it proof that “West Hollywood is not safe anymore.”

Allen, 37, was left bloodied after two masked men threatened to kill the actor and attacked him for his watch outside of the high-end Laurel Supply grocery store.

"These two dudes hit me in the head and pointed a gun at me with a knife and then took off," Allen said on Instagram moments after the ambush. "They had masks on and took my watch. They took my watch. Dammit."

A rep for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office confirmed the details to TMZ, saying the terrifying incident went down on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, where the actor was approached by two men wearing all black.

Security footage of the robbery shows the two masked men approach Allen, who was seemingly putting items into his truck's rear passenger side in the store's parking lot.

The brazen duo fled, snatching Allen's watch. Adam Silverstein

DOUBTS: JD Vance isn't sure the execution of Fort Hood killer Nidal Hasan (inset below) will be livestreamed — and he said he won't watch it if it is.

By JOSH CHRISTENSON and STEVEN NELSON

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Friday backed the Department of War's decision to execute the Fort Hood mass shooter by firing squad — though Vice President JD Vance said he won't watch a planned Pentagon livestream.

"We're giving a man the death penalty who killed 14 soldiers a couple of years ago," the president said Friday after Secretary of War Pete Hegseth made waves by announcing the execution would be broadcast live on Dec. 3.

"Death penalty through firing squad — and, uh, and he deserves it. Killed and wounded many, many people. Maniac."

Trump also said he signed off on the unusual plan to broadcast the shooting of former Army psychiatrist Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 people and wounded 32 others on Nov. 5, 2009, inside a medical building at the Texas base.

"Absolutely, I approved," Trump told reporters Friday of the livestream.

'Consequences'

Vance, traveling for campaign appearances in Ohio, said earlier that he's unconvinced the execution will actually be viewable by the public.

"I don't know that that's troops with a laser-sighted handgun, later confessing that the shooting was meant to stop US forces from going to Afghanistan and killing his fellow Muslims.

He was convicted of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder, and he was sentenced to death following a 2013 trial.

Pentagon officials have confirmed that Hasan's execution by firing squad will take place at Fort Hood, the scene of the crime.

"We're gonna make sure that people are able to watch it, that it's public, because people need to understand that there's serious consequences for these types of things," Hegseth said.

"Army major betrays his country, radical Islamist kills a bunch of Americans at Fort Hood. Of course we're doing it at Fort Hood," he added.

The last military execution by firing squad occurred during World War II, and some Republicans have expressed discomfort with the idea.

“Seneca warned that Rome’s bloody spectacles corrupted the people who watched them. A civilization erodes when it cultivates an appetite for executions as a form of entertainment,” said Sen. John Curtis (R-Utah) in a statement.

But an Army sergeant who survived the bloody massacre after being shot seven times has said he looks forward to attending Hasan's execution to

I don't know that the actually going to happen," Vance said, adding, "If it's ultimately livestreamed, I'm not going to be watching it."

Hasan shouted "Allahu Akbar," Arabic for "God is great," as he fired at his fellow

"look at him in his eyes."

"I'm gonna be there [to watch] and before they pull the trigger, I want him to look at me in my eyes and I look at him in his eyes, and I want him to know, 'Dude you failed. I'm still here,'

Rhode Is. ma, tot stabbed

A 2-year-old girl is “fighting for her life” after she and her mom were stabbed by a maniac — who was free despite a domestic violence arrest and another one for stabbing two other kids, police said.

Nelson Blanco, 46, was arrested in Providence, RI, for allegedly attacking the toddler and her mom on the street in broad daylight Wednesday.

The mom and girl were rushed to a hospital with stab wounds on their bodies and faces. The mom has been released, but her daughter remains in critical condition, the Providence Police Department told The

Post on Friday.

It isn't the first time Blanco has been accused of stabbing kids. He was charged in 2003 with stabbing two 7-year-old boys as they played in a parking lot, but was eventually deemed incompetent to stand trial in that case, the Providence Journal reported.

9 hurt in plane pummel

At least nine passengers and crew were hospitalized early Friday after severe turbulence hit a New York-bound plane, forcing it to make an emergency landing after dropping 25,000 feet.

An Avianca plane left Medellin, Colombia, at 10:40 p.m. local time Thursday heading for JFK, but it was forced to divert and land in Miami three hours into the flight.

The Airbus A320 climbed to around 35,000 feet as it flew over Jamaica and Cuba, heading north, before making a sharp descent about $2 \frac{1}{2}$ hours into the flight.

The plane descended 25,000 feet in a matter of minutes, according to FlightRadar24 data, before it landed in Miami.

“Multiple patients” were injured, Miami-Dade Fire and Rescue officials said after the plane touched down around 3:30 a.m — with at least one of the injured serious enough to be rushed to a trauma center.

"The safety of our customers and employees is, and will remain, the foundation of our operations," the airline said in a statement. It's unclear how many passengers and crew were on board.

LUKOIL'S 'FIELD' DAY

Million\$ to US in deal with Russia?

LYDIA MOYNIHAN

THE Trump administration is backing a deal for Russian oil giant Lukoil's overseas assets that is poised to deliver billions of dollars to the US Treasury and bring shuttered refining capacity back online, a government insider told The Post.

A consortium led by investor Todd Boehly and the US International Development Finance Corporation is seeking to purchase fields that span Asia, Europe, Africa and North America and produce more than 350,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day — roughly as much as the US added in new crude production last year — as well as three refineries in Bulgaria, Romania and the Netherlands with a combined refining capacity of 350,000 barrels a day.

GUSHER: Russian leader Vladimir Putin, seen at a summit in Turkmenistan, could well be clapping for a deal that could help his nation.

Officials said the assets are valued at about \$20 billion and that the agency's stake is structured so that profits will flow to the Treasury's coffers.

DFC officials working on the bid with the private consortium say a signing will likely come in the next two weeks. However, given the complications of a deal involving so many stakeholders, things remain fluid.

New approach

These sources see the impending purchase as proof that Washington can help execute sensitive deals that would be too risky without government involvement — and that ultimately benefit American taxpayers.

"The DFC has never done a transaction like this. This is unprecedented in this institution," said one agency official who believes it could play an increasingly important role in foreign policy.

While the little-known agency is bringing capital to the table, its more important contribution is the confidence it gives private investors to pursue a transaction they might otherwise consider too politically risky.

One official said DFC was “not political risk insurance” but described its equity investment as providing reassurance to other investors.

The involvement of other nations in the consortium, including United Arab Emirates and Qatar, has raised eyebrows. But officials said international participation was important to ensure Lukoil would accept the transaction.

The deal structure would also prevent Russia from receiving a financial windfall while sanctions remain in place. Instead of cash, Russia's payout would sit in international accounts out of Moscow's reach, but worth billions if sanctions are ever lifted. Officials said Moscow accepted those terms because the shares still hold enormous value.

Officials declined to disclose the full financial mechanics while negotiations continue, leaving the government's exposure and the timing of any Treasury payout unclear.

Previous wins

While adding offshore refineries could ease pressure on fuel markets, the more direct benefit would be shoring up allies' energy supplies and putting more fuel into the global market, which has become a national-security priority given Europe has few energy alternatives.

DFC was launched in 2019 and has already made key investments — including cobalt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and rare earths in Angola. It even structured President Trump's Ukraine Critical Minerals Fund. The DFC's war chest has more than tripled since Trump's first term — jumping from \$60 billion to \$205 billion to combat China's global influence campaign known as the Belt and Road Initiative.

The deal has also faced scrutiny following reports that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were involved, but DFC officials say that the two had no role in negotiating this deal.

Boehly's million-dollar donation in December 2025 to the super PAC MAGA Inc has attracted criticism, but officials involved with the negotiations said he was the only one capable of getting a deal through both Washington and Moscow.

The Boehly consortium is not the only bidder to circle. The Carlyle Group claimed a signed purchase agreement back in January, but people familiar with the process say it was never binding and Carlyle was never the preferred bidder.

One DFC official said the members of the consortium remain “the only ones with the pieces of the puzzle to get this transaction done.”

Trump: We'll buy Putin's diesel

WASHINGTON — President Trump announced Friday that the US will buy large amounts of Russian diesel to address surging fuel costs — making a major foreign-policy pivot to ease costs just before the midterm elections.

"I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel."

Trump on Sept. 18 signed the “Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026,” which takes effect on Oct. 19, imposing a 500% tariff on Russian goods and allowing secondary sanctions on countries that buy Russian fuel.

Trump has vacillated between economic penalties on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine and reprieves as the US war with Iran hikes energy costs. Steven Nelson

'TRI' AGAIN! NYC triathlon back in play

By ANNA MEDARIS

It's about tide!

After two years of dormancy, the city's only swim-bike-run event — now called the Big Apple Triathlon — will make a comeback Saturday with some 1,300 endurance enthusiasts expected to jump in (to the Hudson, that is).

If all goes to plan, athletes taking on the longest distance will stroke nearly a mile up the shoreline before riding 25 miles along the West Side Highway and striding 6.2 miles into and around Central Park.

snafus and weather woes.

The race, formerly known as the New York City Triathlon, has been around since 2001. But its recent history has been notoriously choppy, soured by scheduling

"I believe every edition since 2017, we either had to shorten the run, shorten the bike or cancel the swim," former race director Alex De Gracia of Life Time told the Post. (His organization sold the race in 2023.)

High temps

In 2019, for example, the then-summer spectacle was nixed due to extreme heat. In 2021 and 2023, water quality concerns shuttered the swim and rerouted athletes to a run-bike-run. In 2022, a forecast of temperatures in the 90s slashed the bike and run distances by at least half.

And, before 2024's race even opened to registrants, organizers threw in the towel. While they'd tried to skirt scorching temps by moving the production to the fall, they and the city couldn't land on a viable date. Local triathletes moved on.

Now, under the direction of new organizer, Alpha Win, and with an early fall date, the starting gun will sound again. And competitors — about half of whom are coming from outside the city and most of whom paid between \$350 and \$625 for the honor — hope this time's the charm.

"I was super excited when I heard about it; I loved the New York City Triathlon," said Matt Stern, a 32-year-old Manhattan attorney who raced in 2023 and calls the course "epic."

POSTOPINION Wild Pitch FAST TAKES Urban beat: Why NY Won't Clean Up Canal St.

MLB's math nerds dream of a knuckleball revival

Bill Kostroun/New York Post
Knuck royalty: Phil Niekro, R.A. Dickey and Tim Wakefield showed off their best grips in 2012.

THIS week the Tampa Bay Rays buried the Yankees' season. Along the way they may have resurrected the bunt — a piece of classic inside baseball.

A bunting batter lightly taps the ball instead of trying to whack it out of the park. Its several varieties — drag, sacrifice, suicide squeeze — once took up a chapter in every team's playbook.

Then came sabermetrics, and math whizzes crunched the numbers. They declared the bunt a waste of a perfectly good plate appearance.

Maybe the math guys overcorrected. This year the Rays, a small-market franchise that can't spend lavishly on power hitters, bunted 134 times — more than any team in a decade — en route to the best record in the American League.

"It's about continuing to understand what influences winning," Rays front-office man Erik Neander explained. Bunts have become so rare in the "Moneyball" age that opposing fielders don't know how to handle them.

Given the Rays' success with an old-school tactic, what's on deck as baseball's next big comeback? My money's on the knuckleball — the sport's most storied pitch.

In an era where conventional pitchers chase more and more velocity

and higher spin rates, the knuckleball travels slowly and — this is the key — hardly rotates. That makes it dart around chaotically for reasons baseball's best scientists can't quite explain.

“There’s just too much going on with that pitch. Any attempt to understand it is almost pointless,” said Barton Smith, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Utah State University — the guy who may know more about why pitches move than anyone on Earth.

Yet the knuckleball has all but disappeared from MLB. Why?

Don't blame sabermetrics, said Christopher Long, a Rutgers-trained mathematician who worked for a number of MLB teams after "Moneyball," Michael Lewis' 2003 book on statistics-driven management, upended the game. "My job was all about getting an edge. Identifying better players, cheaper players or younger players," he told me.

"I was dead certain that one way to get an advantage was to build a pipeline of knuckleball pitchers." Slow-throwing knuckleballers can pitch as much as they want, and great ones like Phil Niekro and Hoyt Wilhelm won hundreds of games while competing into their late 40s.

He assumed it would be easy to

develop new knuckleballers. "A conventional major league pitcher needs a really hard fastball, plus multiple other pitches with different kinds of spin. He

must be able to hit different spots around the strike zone. That's a tall order," he said.

"A knuckleballer throws the same pitch the same way to the same spot every time. It seems a much smaller ask." It wasn't: Turns out the knuckleball is just too hard to control, and if you throw one that spins, the batter sends it into orbit.

And retraining a conventional pro pitcher to throw strikes without spin is a large ask indeed. High-tech pitch-design labs — which teach pitchers nasty new innovations like the sweeper and the kick-change — haven't been able to create a knuckleballer, either.

Wilhelm may have known the secret. The Hall of Famer once advised his White Sox teammate Wilbur Wood, who was struggling as fastball-curveball pitcher, "Don't try throwing the knuckleball now unless you threw it as a kid."

Wood's father had indeed taught him the pitch when he was 12 — and Wood went on to become a knuckleball great. Unlike the bunt, the knuckleball takes years to truly master.

"There are so many throws and so many tweaks you have to make," said Tom Candiotti, who won 151 MLB games with the knuckleball he learned at the age of 10. "And even if you find someone with a real good one, when he gets on a mound, with a batter and an umpire and 50,000 fans, that knuckleball can turn into a spinner real quick."

As Eddie Gamboa, whose MLB knuckleball career lasted 13 innings for the Rays in 2016, put it, "The knuckleball is the crazy ex-girlfriend who makes you pull your hair out."

But teams are taking chances on knuckleballers they find in the wild. In 2023, the Twins gave UConn pitcher Devin Kirby-Williams a shot — though he'd thrown only three knucks in college. He's now bouncing around the minors. In 2025 the Detroit Tigers signed Kenny Serwa after his knuckleball video went viral. This summer, when the Padres cut Matt Waldron, MLB's only knuckleballer, he caught on with the Blue Jays and then the Nationals.

So the knuck's not dead yet. And odds are the moneyballers who brought back the bunt will go to bat for it.

Brian Gaffney is the author of "School of Hard Knucks: My Three Sons and Baseball's Wildest Pitch."

"The counterfeit market on Canal Street operates in plain sight," laments City Journal's Daniel Edward Rosen, because of "inconsistent policing and lax prosecution" — as well as an "unreasonably high legal bar for proving felony charges." To stand up "felony charges" for counterfeiting, prosecutors "must establish that the retail value of the genuine versions of the fake goods exceeds statutory thresholds" of \$100,000, which explains why "felony arrests on Canal Street so rarely become felony prosecutions." But the "NYPD has also struggled to maintain a sustained presence on Canal Street." Then, "in March, the city repealed" its own criminal penalties against unlicensed vendors; the "city's posture on vending generally is moving toward less enforcement, not more."

Mideast: Gazans Finally Learn Their Lessons

“Palestinians Want a Two-State Solution” in Foreign Affairs is “a rare optimistic essay” on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, observes Commentary’s Seth Mandel. Its authors “review Palestinian opinion surveys over time and show a clear trend toward a willingness to negotiate,” with Gazans now even more willing to talk than West Bank Palestinians. The authors seem to think such “pragmatism fell from the sky,” when the reasons are obvious: Gaza-based “Palestinians started and then lost a war, and now they are open to a negotiated end to hostilities.” They’re “finally seeing procrastination as a net-negative.” In the past, Israel always “sweetened” offers; now, it “finally took no for an answer.” Palestinians at long last realize “they have something to lose by refusing to end the conflict.”

Ben Weingarten at The Federalist argues that “the anti-Trump lawfare of the last decade,” which “sought to silence, bankrupt, and jail its political opponents,” has escalated the threat to “new heights.” Jack Smith’s “team carried out a fishing expedition on behalf of the Biden administration and Democrat Party.” And because of the “Big Brother” climate they created, “sources will dry up” and “abuses, no longer revealed, will fester and multiply.” We should demand “justice,” “hold the wrongdoers to account” and “ensure they [are] prohibited from working in government ever again.” Alas, based on past misdeeds, “we can expect almost none of this to happen.” “Indifference to weaponization” and lawfare is ultimately “fatal to our republic.” Worst of all, the lawfare “genie can never be fully back in the bottle.”

Free-speech watch: Cleese Case Is a Warning

Why did a British Muslim group report comedy legend John Cleese to Prevent, a “government program designed to stop people from becoming terrorists"? asks Andrew Doyle at The Washington Post. It's because he made fun of their religion and called himself "Islamosceptic" — which is hardly a sign of terrorism. Meanwhile, the same group has expressed support for "an Islamic caliphate, Sharia (Islamic principles and law) penal codes and physical jihad." But Cleese is supposedly guilty of something worse: "cultural nationalism", i.e. possibly thinking that "Western society is under threat from mass migration." "Almost certainly" Prevent will not take this claim seriously, "but the fact that such complaints are raised at all shows that the old consensus on free speech is no longer secure."

Democrat: DC Needs 'Spending Discipline'

"As endless deficits spook the bond market," contends Rahm Emanuel at The Wall Street Journal, "restoring fiscal sanity will require spending discipline" and curbing "tax expenditures." The "tax code's various loopholes" are "costly and encourage the wrong behavior." Indeed, the code is so complex "that some children of wealthy families attend retreats to learn how to manage their inheritances," even though "nearly half of all taxpayers" could theoretically "file at the touch of a button" given the IRS' current access to "sufficient information." Tax laws should be "tightened," preventing wealthy people from "borrowing against their equity" on a tax-free basis and "closing the loopholes" that "allow companies to stash profit in overseas tax havens to avoid U.S. taxes."

Perverted Priorities

ayor Mandani's thundering defense of an alleged illegal-immigrant gang-banger shines a spotlight, yet again, on his grossly screwed up priorities.

Ditto for Gov. Hochul and all the other grandstanding New York pols who huffed and puffed after a federal officer shot Oscar Belgal as he tried to run him over with his car.

“Tonight, millions of our neighbors are wondering whether they will be safe on our streets,” roared the mayor. What do they fear? In Mamdani view, it’s ICE.

That's right: Illegal-immigrant thugs are of no concern. Indeed, Hizzoner actually referred to Belgal as a fellow "New Yorker."

Sorry, Mr. Mayor: Average New Yorkers, would beg to differ. Then again, Mamdani's anti-ICE theatrics let him change the subject from the odious way he snubbed Jews on the third anniversary of the Oct. 7 massacre.

Hochul was just as bad: "New Yorkers are outraged tonight," she railed. Huh? If so, it's because they're learning that a potentially violent thug who'd had run-ins with police was free to roam the streets, thanks to her.

Here are the facts: Oscar Belgal is an illegal immigrant and an alleged Trinitarios gangbanger who, police say, was previously charged with grand larceny, robbery and being armed with a deadly weapon. The feds note that he weaponized his car to run down ICE agents trying to arrest him, aiming his vehicle at federal officers—even with his 5-year-old toddler in the car. He fits with the type of people Mamdani & Co. repeatedly prioritize (over real New Yorkers): illegal immigrant goons, antisemites, terrorist sympathizers . . .

Meanwhile, this incident itself could've been 100% avoided if New York didn't follow "sanctuary" policies and had handed this guy over. Belgal was nabbed in New York back in December 2023, per the Department of Homeland Security, only to be turned back out onto the streets.

And now Hochul demands ICE halt all enforcement in the city. They really don't want any bad guys off the streets. They're determined to completely end law enforcement.

We have to face facts: Dems like Mamdani and Hochul would rather handcuff immigration authorities — and their local police partners — than make streets safe. And they won't stop and until voters send them a cease-and-desist notice, via the voting booth.

What the AG Debate Revealed

Attorney General Letitia James was outwitted, outlawyered and outclassed by her electoral opponent Saritha Komartireddy in their Thursday night debate.

James reeled as seasoned criminal prosecutor Komartireddy threw bruising blows that left James blinking into the cameras.

Hamtered on her terrible record regarding violent crime, Medicaid fraud, sexual assault and serious mental illness, James relied on two reliable go-to answers: "That's not my job" and . . . "Trump." She made the preposterous argument that Komartireddy's deep experience as a federal prosecutor of terrorists and as DEA chief of staff somehow disqualify her from the job of New York's top cop because the AG is "focused on civil matters and not criminal matters."

That's a convenient out for a hack pol who prefers to use her office to pursue politicized national cases that promote the national

Democratic Party agenda and her own political career, rather than to address matters that affect New Yorkers' lives.

Muttering “Trump” has been key to James’ statewide career since 2018, when she vowed in her primary campaign to dig through the president’s canceled checks and petty cash accounts for something to nab him for.

Heck, she's still trying to get Trump: In June she fired a prosecutor who complained about being forced to find insider-trading dirt on the prez that didn't exist. "Tish was the boss," fretted whistleblower Daniel Wiesenfeld, "and what Tish wanted, Tish got."

James turned her office into a launch pad for political lawfare. Meanwhile, major crime in NYC is up a 27% since she took office.

She's worse than an empty suit. Let's hope voters tuned in to the debate, because they'd have seen what a fraud of an AG New York has — and what a real one could like.

A Nobel Prize for ...Antisemitism

The Nobel committee has disgraced itself again by awarding the Peace Prize to Navanethem Pillay, the South African legal activist and ex-UN human-rights chief known for her extreme anti-Israel bias.

Pillay's main qualification appears to be that she falsely accused Israel of “genocide.” But her obsessive anti-Israel bias has been a hallmark of her career for decades. For years, she falsely accused Israel of being an “apartheid” state, though Jews and Arabs have equal rights there — something that was never true of actual apartheid in South Africa.

In 2021, after the last war Hamas launched against Israel, Pillay led a one-sided UN probe that targeted alleged Israeli violations of Palestinians. At one point she even compared Israel's war with Hamas to the Rwandan genocide. Even the Biden folks tired of it, and demanded an end to her Independent International Commission kangaroo court.

Meanwhile, Pillay ignored actual human-rights violations by other countries, including some of the world's worst dictatorships.

Her demonization of Israel has steep costs: It fuels antisemitism and gives Hamas and other terror groups hope that if they continue attacking, they'll eventually prevail.

Yet Pillay joins a long list of dubious winners, most notably the Palestinian arch-terrorist Yasser Arafat, who went on to launch another intifada against Israel.

President Trump should not feel bad he hasn't won the prize. It's not worth winning.

'Cornell 7' Allegations Reflect Higher Ed's Failure

THE ISSUE: The former Cornell University student who alleges she was raped by seven frat brothers in 2024.

- I disagree with Heather Mac Donald's vicious characterization of Jane Doe ("Campus Farce," PostOpinion, Oct. 8).

She didn't play the assault card. I believe she was assaulted and raped by several men who texted others to join in on the assault. The article shifts attention away from the actual events and toward judging the character of the person who suffered the harm.

According to Mac Donald, “the only good news to come out of this” is that “Jane Doe’s peers viewed her as a ‘slut.’” This is exactly why so many campus rapes go unreported.

Barbara Stankus Pearl River

●Regardless of whether the Cornell students are guilty, college campuses are places of depravity and left-wing ideology.

Administrations ignore underage drinking, drug use and sexual misconduct while continually increasing tuition. The government should no longer provide funding.

A protest sign.

Learning technical skills is a better option.

Mark Friedman Brooklyn not equipped to handle criminal matters that reach the severity of rape allegations. A sole investigator can be handling both a stolen laptop and an allegation of rape in their case files.

A college would stand aside in a homicide case. It needs to consider doing the same in alleged rape cases. If anything, campus police can assist by preserving evidence, protecting the crime scene and gathering witnesses.

If the Cornell University president is open to re-evaluation, he might want to take this into consideration.

- In its typical fashion, The Post illuminates just how difficult it will be to convict any of the men involved in the Cornell case due to numerous ambiguities (“Case will be tough to make,” Oct. 3).

However, what is not ambiguous is the fact that nothing good happens after midnight. In a perfect world, the presence of alcohol or drugs in a student's possession should be met with expulsion. Anthony Parks Garden City

- This incident at Cornell University is now two years old and still this pack of wolves hasn't been brought to justice. Supposedly, two students have been expelled, and the remaining five are allowed to continue their education.

A few of the frat members had to write essays as punishment as if that would cleanse their souls. The fraternity is now shut down, but it will always be remembered as the place where, I believe, Jane Doe was raped by the “Cornell 7.”

Don's Warning on Iran's Nukes

- Miranda Devine excuses every single outrageous thing President Trump says or does ("Desperate Dem bombastic lie," Oct. 8).

THE ISSUE: President Trump's comment about Iran taking out Los Angeles or San Diego at his recent rally.

When he stated in regard to Iran's nuclear threat, "Let them take out Los Angeles; let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay," the crowd loudly cheered.

He knew exactly what he was implying when he chose to cite two liberal cities in California.

He did not say, "Let them take out Mar-A-Largo. This is a small price to pay."

Moreover, the words "Let them take out" instead of "They might take out" clearly imply encouragement rather than a warning.

Dennis Middlebrooks Brooklyn ●Trump has suggested that Iran might attack Los Angeles and San Diego.

Messing's Lesson

GOP can woo NYC Dems

Love & order: Komatireddy is running for state AG on a commonsense platform — and Democrats are listening.

DEBRA Messing has been a Democratic darling for decades — campaigning for Hillary Clinton, donating to Cynthia Nixon's run for governor, standing as one of Donald Trump's fiercest Hollywood critics. And last week, she endorsed Republican Bruce Blakeman in his bid to unseat Gov. Hochul.

Why? Practical reasons: climbing utility bills, tolls to drive into Manhattan and neighbors giving up and leaving due to Hochul's mismanagement. And as an outspoken supporter of Israel who's called Mayor Mamdani an “American-hating jihadist,” Messing has plenty of reasons for discontent with a governor who kowtows to him.

"I was born here. This is the city I love," Messing told Blakeman. "And it's not the city that I love anymore."

There are a lot of Debra Messings out there: lifelong Democrats and former progressives who look at the party with disbelief and growing alienation. I know — because I am one.

That means there's a golden opportunity to build a DSA-busting coalition of Republicans, up-for-

Matthew McDermott for NY Post

grabs independents and disillusioned Democrats here in New York. It's the only path back to the sensible center — where the people who pay the taxes, build the businesses, buy the homes and raise the children of this city actually live.

Last year I crossed over to run on the Republican line against uber-progressive Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, to combat the crime-coddling policies that have made our city unsafe. “You’re the first Republican I ever voted for,” countless Manhattanites told me — and I got 100,000 votes, more than half of them from Democrats or independents.

It wasn't enough to win, but it proved that plenty of registered Democrats are fed up enough with far-left policies to vote for a Republican, even in the era of Donald Trump. And this year, Blakeman isn't the only local Republican drawing interest from across the aisle.

Caroline Shinkle, an outstanding GOP congressional candidate for NY-12 in Manhattan, was just endorsed by hedge funder Bill Ackman, a longtime Democrat donor.

Saritha Komatireddy, a former federal prosecutor and DEA chief of staff running for attorney general, has also been gaining in the polls — and on Thursday night she demolished Letitia James in their first debate with an impressive display of competence.

Komatireddy slammed James for the “nosedive” in Medicaid fraud recoveries on her watch, her failure to act on patient-abuse complaints and her refusal to act against rising antisemitic hate crimes. She deftly defanged James’ attempt to attack her on abortion by sharing about her own high-risk pregnancies.

Unlike James, Komatireddy could instantly name a past AG she admired — and when asked about the last book she'd read, she charmingly answered "Little Blue Truck," her toddlers' favorite.

Blakeman, Shinkle and Komatireddy are all offering a commonsense approach to governance that appeals to the vast middle. But to actually win, they need field operatives with the local knowledge and know-how to get out the vote — something that has all but vanished among NYC Republicans.

The DSA has a multi-decade head start. And money: The Commie Corridor does not come cheap. Salaried leaders, pricey new offices and a social-media machine that now runs partly out of City Hall on our dime fuel their wins.

But the Coalition of the Sane — Republicans, independents and disaffected Democrats — can catch up fast if we do three things.

First, we need to convince New Yorkers that the Democratic primary isn't the only game in town. Republicans need to make coalition-building their watchword, and that means running strong candidates in each and every general election — refusing to let Dems run unopposed.

We need to invest in organizations that recruit, train and fund a new generation of Republican candidates and campaign staffers — groups that talk to voters in our communities year-round, just like the DSA does.

And we need to register more independents and Republicans, and launch a campaign to get disaffected Democrats to leave the party. Unaffiliated voters are already the fastest-growing bloc in New York — and every voter who leaves the Democratic ranks is a loud signal that the primary no longer needs to decide every election.

Some New York Democrats are so tangled in Trump hatred that they'll never vote for anyone associated with him. But Messing is proof that such distaste is not an insurmountable obstruction.

She's crossing over anyway, because the election in front of her is about her city, not about Washington. And that's showing how Republicans can compete in NYC: by building a local brand focused on local issues — affordability, public safety, quality of life, good schools and competent government.

It seems like a challenge of biblical proportions, a David-and-Goliath fight, to form a coalition of New York City voters ready to vote for a Republican. But like taking a slingshot into battle with a giant, that's how game-changing victories are won.

SHORE UP US BASES — OR RISK DEFEAT

INSTON Churchill said that “wars are not won by evacuations”—and sometimes, he might have added, they are simply embarrassing.

The United States hastily flew its B-1 bombers out of the UK's Fairfield air base last week for fear of a potential Iranian drone attack. It was the latest in a series of successful Iranian operations aimed at crimping US bases, this time more than 2,000 miles away from Iran itself.

President Trump has found — by opening a channel to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and blockading Iran — a strategy to pressure Iran that may yet produce a favorable outcome to the war. But the conflict has exposed glaring US military deficiencies, with our inability to protect our bases in the region and elsewhere high on the list.

Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao has said the Iranians “blew the hell out of Bahrain,” referring to the headquarters of the Fifth Fleet in the tiny Gulf kingdom. They’ve also hit US facilities in Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

The vast majority of US casualties in the ongoing war have resulted from attacks on our bases. It once seemed that having so many bases in proximity to Iran was useful to containing the Islamic Republic — but when Tehran began firing on these facilities, it became clear that their locations made them vulnerable targets.

Camp Arifjan in Kuwait, where buildings and radar domes got hit, is just over 60

miles away from the Iranian border. A number of bases have been fully or partly evacuated, and US operations have felt the effects.

One reason that there was so much strain on the USS Abraham Lincoln during its lengthy deployment is that Bahrain was no longer available as a supply hub. The Navy had to rely on facilities in Diego Garcia and Singapore instead, creating a supply chain thousands of miles long.

The Iranian missile and drone threat to our bases was foreseeable, and yet we didn't do enough to protect them. One option now is a broad pullback of our presence in the region, but so long as hydrocarbons power the modern economy, this is a non-starter.

The Gulf states would have an incentive to look elsewhere for strategic partners, most worryingly to Russia or China, and might conclude that they should do more to accommodate an Iran that would have effectively chased us from the Persian Gulf.

The answer to the threat to the bases is the same thing that created the threat in the first place — innovation. We've long had bases in the Gulf, including a naval

command headquarters in Bahrain since 1948, but the purpose and the nature of the US presence has changed over time.

As Kristian Alexander writes in an analysis for the Stimson Center, during the Cold War we didn't have a large land presence at our Gulf bases — but after Saddam Hussein's 1990 invasion of Kuwait, that changed. Today, the question is how to reconfigure our presence once again to make it more defensible and sustainable.

"US bases," Alexander writes, "remain indispensable for intelligence collection, command and control, maritime security, air and missile defense, logistics and long-range power projection."

One option is to locate more facilities in Israel. Elliott Abrams of the Council on Foreign Relations points out that the Jewish state is much further away — more than 1,000 miles from Iran — and would impose fewer restrictions on our access and over-flight rights.

But we still require bases in the Gulf. We're going to need to disperse them, harden them (including with more underground elements) and build in more redundancy.

Their air defenses need to be more robust and layered, and less dependent on expensive missiles that are in short supply.

The Iran war was supposed to represent a short, sharp defanging of the Iranian regime. Instead, it has dragged on.

Now it's serving as a lesson in some key shortcomings of US military power that must be addressed — lest they bite us again in a conflict with a much more powerful adversary.

North-South bid easily to 3NT, and West declined to lead from one his four-card suits; he had no entry to cash a winner even if he established it. He tried a spade, and South took the “free finesse” by playing dummy’s jack.

"How much does a free finesse cost?" may seem a silly question, like "Who designed the Eiffel Tower?" But the cost in today's deal was 730 points.

South must play low from dummy on the first spade and win with the king, keeping the A-J. He next finesse in clubs. When East wins, he can't effectively return a spade. If he leads a diamond, South wins and forces out the ace of hearts. He is sure of 10 tricks.

I.P. 'NO! NOT YET!' Investors get choosy as they await Anthropic

C'mon let's go, Dario!

By JAMES FRANEY

Wall Street's market for new stocks has suddenly stalled, but big investors aren't out of cash, experts say — they are simply hoarding their funds for a historic mega-deal while refusing to overpay for the rest of the pack.

Anthropic, the San Francisco-based AI developer behind the Claude chatbot, is targeting a valuation near \$2 trillion for an initial public offering that could fetch up to \$100 billion in the coming weeks.

The deal could easily surpass SpaceX's record \$86.2 billion debut in June, cementing 2026 as the biggest year for newly raised capital in history.

“Anthropic is the lead story of the Q4 IPO market. Forget everything else,” said Matt Kennedy, senior strategist at pre-IPO research firm Renaissance Capital.

Hitting pause

“Like SpaceX, Anthropic could raise more than every IPO from both 2025 and 2024 combined, easily,” he told The Post.

The massive deal looms large over a jittery market. Several prominent offerings hit the brakes in recent weeks.

Smart-ring maker Oura recently postponed its Nasdaq listing hours before it was set to price at a \$15.6 billion target valuation.

The company cited market uncertainty. While demand was four times higher than the shares available, potential investors balked at the price tag and Oura's reliance on a single product.

Other firms have retreated, as well. Nvidia-backed Firmus pressed pause on its IPO earlier this week, citing market volatility.

Holtec Nuclear, a nuclear services provider looking to cash in on the data center boom, suspended its \$825 million IPO on Sept. 17.

SoftBank also delayed the listing of data-center firm SB Energy after investors challenged a valuation topping \$50 billion.

While some bankers argue Anthropic, led by CEO Dario Amodei, is sucking all the oxygen out of the room, market watchers say the pause stems from an old-fashioned fight over price and a shaky global backdrop.

"I don't see Anthropic as being this black hole that prevents other com-"

Wall Street is no longer raging to dump money on high-tech companies, in part because investors are waiting for Dario Amodei (right) to launch his mammoth Anthropic IPO, likely by year's end.

panies from going public," Renaissance Capital's Kennedy said. "I think I would point to just the tougher market conditions that we're seeing now. If they could get the valuation they wanted, they'd move forward."

Deutsche Bank analysts Marion Laboure and Camilla Siazon blamed the recent IPO delays on a broader backdrop of “uncertainty around the upcoming midterm elections, ongoing geopolitical conflict and higher oil prices.”

The analysts wrote in a client note that pushback against tech company price tags actually began this summer when investors “questioned elevated valuations” and "the sustainability of AI spending."

"The market is making a distinction between AI-related companies and others," said Jay Ritter, a University of Florida finance professor who has studied IPOs for decades.

While investors will pay top dollar for elite, “frontier” AI models like Anthropic, they view heavy infrastructure like data centers as a capital-intensive “commodity business,” Ritter explained.

That explains why companies operating outside the tech-infrastructure bubble — like biotech startups — are still pricing deals easily. They simply don't compete with Anthropic for the same cash.

Big AI girds for worst-case scenarios

Executives at top AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are plotting potential responses if an AI catastrophe triggers a “public and political revolt,” according to a report.

The preparations focus on creating contingency plans in the event that one of their AI models causes major public harm — such as a hack targeting the power grid, water supply or banking system, Axios reported Friday.

It's unclear if the preparations are much different from the tabletop exercises that institutions ranging from banks to the Pentagon and beyond have long used to assess risk.

Still, the report emerged during a period of unprecedented scrutiny of AI firms as some researchers, such as ex-Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon, warn that un- checked rogue AI could wipe out humanity.

"As many companies across industries do, OpenAI conducts preparedness exercises where teams discuss and work through a range of potential scenarios," a spokesperson for OpenAI, which is facing extra scrutiny, said.

"These scenarios are not treated as inevitable, but are meant to help us prepare for a variety of circumstances," the rep added.

Now Elon wants cellphones

Elon Musk's SpaceX is moving to get into the cellphone business — scooping up billions of dollars' worth of cellular spectrum licenses and putting traditional telecom giants on the defensive.

Musk's company reached an \$8 billion deal for the licenses this week, laying the groundwork for a terrestrial network that would fill in gaps in coverage by SpaceX's satellite service Starlink.

Putting the spectrum to use requires Federal Communications Commission approval — a step the body's chair seemed enthusiastic about.

“President Trump is unleashing a new Golden Age of connectivity in America,” FCC Chairman Brendan Carr wrote on X late Thursday, commenting on an article about the latest venture by Musk (right).

Carr told CNBC on Friday that the commission is going to "sit back and watch" Musk's next steps.

Telecom giants were less enthusiastic — shares of AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon all plunged Friday.

SpaceX said once it gets FCC approval, the company will deploy a “flexible architecture combining our satellite-to-mobile constellation in space.”

The idea is to use both on-the-ground cell towers and SpaceX's vast array of satellites for a new cell super service. Emily Lang

Debt's all, folks!

Personal levels highest since Great Recession

By TAYLOR HERZLICH

Americans' debt has soared near levels not seen since the wake of the Great Recession — a cause for concern even as most families have seen their wealth increase and consumer spending has remained strong, according to federal data released Friday.

The share of American families behind on loan payments at the end of 2025 jumped from 12% in the previous period to nearly 20%, according to the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances, which is released every three years. Those behind on the bills by two months or more hit over 8%, up from 5% in 2022.

“Families were more likely to be behind on their financial obligations than at any point since the 2010 survey,” the report said.

It was referring to data from the tail-end of the Great Recession, an economic crisis that lasted from December 2007 to June 2009 following a mortgage collapse. At one point, the unemployment

rate hit 10%.

Yet the Fed's report — which covered the 2022 to 2025 period — also showed a slight decrease in wealth disparity, as incomes rose for most Americans as they emerged from the COVID pandemic.

Inflation-adjusted average net worth jumped 7% to \$1.24 million, according to the survey. Median net worth ticked up just 2% to \$215,900, weighing in larger gains among older and affluent Americans.

However, gains in net worth were “much slower” than the 2019 to 2022 period, when wealth increased 37%, the most in the survey’s 30-plus year history, the report said.

And wealth gains continued to increase at a faster pace for more affluent Americans, with median wealth for a family in the top 10% of earners jumping 31%, while it decreased for the bottom 40% of earners.

Americans 75 and older saw their wealth skyrocket 37%, while it dropped 23% for people under 35 — likely a result of older individuals benefiting from stock market gains.

A worrying 8.6% of families reported debt payments worth more than 40% of their income — up from 6.5% in 2022 and the highest level since the 2013 survey.

Boxes bedeviling bots

Walmart's multibillion-dollar push to replace human workers with robots is reportedly hitting snags as the machinery struggles to carry dog food and Thanksgiving turkeys or handle cardboard boxes.

A simple task called “breakpack”— when workers remove items from cardboard boxes to ship out individually—is easy for Walmart’s more than 140,000 warehouse workers, who also unload trucks, operate forklifts, sort and store goods on shelves, and send out shipments.

But it's a challenge for the new warehouse robots, which are too small to carry and unload the same cardboard boxes, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

Walmart, which didn't respond for comment, is planning to replace the boxes, but the move will cost more money. Taylor Herzlich

Delta: Fuel pinch grows

Delta Air Lines said Friday that the industry may need to curb flight growth further next year to protect profitability, as surging fuel costs forced the carrier to cut its 2026 profit forecast by nearly a quarter despite strong travel demand and higher ticket prices.

The Atlanta-based airline now expects its annual fuel bill to rise by roughly \$6 billion from last year, about \$2 billion more than it projected in July, as the Iran war has driven jet fuel prices sharply higher worldwide.

Third-quarter profit slid 47% to \$756 million.

"In a high-cost environment you cannot grow your way out of it," CEO Ed Bastian said. The industry has already taken steps to restrain capacity, but more will be needed next year to improve profitability, he said. Reuters

Don still after Fed gov Cook

President Trump launched a special committee to investigate allegations that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook made false statements after the White House accused her of mortgage fraud.

The move was a notable escalation in the president's repeated efforts to fire Cook, a nominee of former President Joe Biden, after the Supreme Court blocked him from doing so in June.

"As President, it is my job to ensure the laws are faithfully executed, including by firing subordinates who cannot be trusted to tell the truth and follow the law," Trump wrote in an announcement dated Wednesday and shared on the White House's social media Friday. "To assist me in carrying out that responsibility, the Committee shall investigate the allegations against Governor Cook and report to me whether there is 'cause' for Governor Cook's removal."

The committee, which will include Kevin Hassett, Trump's chief economic aide, will conduct a closed-door hearing at the White House on Nov. 5.

"We have grave doubts that this 'hearing' is a legitimate one that would conform to the law," Cook's attorneys said.

Kalshi eyes 'Zach' bets

Kalshi is probing a series of shady bets about the new White House press secretary, according to a report published hours after Katie Zacharia was named to the high-profile job.

The prediction market platform said it was looking into wagers that accurately predicted the conservative commentator would land the role, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

A minimum of three small but precisely-timed bets were reportedly placed on Zacharia, netting the bettors a few thousand bucks.

Kalshi said it can't comment on ongoing investigations. Ariel Zilber

Listen and learn Heeding mentor's advice pays off for Red Bulls All-Star

RED BULLISH: Julian Hall is an MLS All-Star for Red Bull New York this season and also earned a recent call-up to the U.S. men's national team, part of a career breakthrough for the young scoring threat. Getty Images

By CHRISTIAN ARNOLD

Bradley Wright-Phillips still recalls one of his first impressions of Red Bull New York star Julian Hall when he was coming up through the club's academy.

Hall was still with the club's MLS Next Pro team playing against New York City FC's developmental squad when Wright-Phillips remembers him coming into the match and "sprinting everywhere."

“I tell [then Red Bull II coach Ibrahim Sekagya], he’s gonna die,” the Red Bulls legend recalled to The Post in a phone conversation this week with a chuckle. “When you make your debut, you have so much adrenaline. And I’m thinking, he just got on and started sprinting everywhere. After like five minutes, he was dead.”

Wright-Phillips — the greatest goal scorer in Red Bulls history — has had a front-row view of Hall's development into one of MLS' top young players and now a promising star for the U.S. men's national team. The Red Bulls legend, who has worked with Red Bulls II since roughly 2023, worked with Hall to the point where the young footballer even gave him a shoutout during an interview on TNT after the USMNT's win over Chile, when Hall scored his second of three national team goals during the window.

Hall described Wright-Phillips as a “role model” for him and someone he viewed as having helped him reach “this place right now.”

"He was someone that was there every single day for me," Hall told The Post. "Any questions I had, he was there. I mean, I feel like that was why he wanted to be there, to inspire the younger guys that were coming through. He definitely inspired me and he definitely helped me get to this place right now."

The place that Hall is referring to has been a season for the Red Bulls where he forced his way into the starting lineup, usurping former Bayern Munich star Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, and scoring 10 goals this season for his club.

He earned an MLS All-Star nod in the process and, after snapping a 12-game goal drought with the winning goal against New York City FC before the international break, Hall went on to score three goals and record an assist in his first senior national team call-up.

Wright-Phillips, who was the MLS Golden Boot winner in 2014 and 2016, knows a thing or two about finding the back of the net, and Hall noted one his biggest pieces of advice as one of the main reasons for his goal-scoring prowess this season.

“I think one main thing was staying in the box and between the posts,” Hall explained. “Because when I was younger, I was running all over the place on the field and with the second team, and he would always yell at me to go back in the middle. That’s kind of where I’ve been living this season and it pays off. That’s why I feel like everyone needs to be coachable, and you gotta listen to your elders because they know what they’re talking about.”

Wright-Phillips remembers that bit of advice, recalling how Hall would go after the ball on the side "you can't score" and "fighting defenders."

"I'm saying to him, there's moments for that where you help the team, but there's moments where you also have to think about Julian," the Red Bulls alum said. "And I thought that was very important for him to just stay in the width of the 18-yard box because that's where he's going to get paid. That's why people are talking about him now."

Before this season, Wright-Phillips said that the two would have conversations three times a week, but due to his schedule with Apple TV and the World Cup, it hasn't been "as much as I would have liked." The two have exchanged messages over the past few weeks while Hall was with the U.S. men's national team, he said.

And Wright-Phillips made sure to check in with another Red Bulls alum, Tyler Adams, who was part of the USMNT roster this past window, to make sure Hall and rising Red Bulls star Adri Mehmeti were doing well during their first national team call-ups.

"He's like, 'Yeah, fine. Yeah, no worries at all,' " Wright-Phillips said he heard back from Adams.

It's safe to say that Hall left his first call-up to the USMNT knowing that Mauricio Pochettino and his staff liked what they saw from him.

Hall said that they expressed that they were “proud of me for the games that I did well in” and that the overarching message to everyone was to keep that same “heart” and “passion” that they showed with the national team.

TOP PLAY

Burke to continue his solid work vs. Guards

By DYLAN SVOBODA

The Guardians will face their kryptonite when they welcome the White Sox for Saturday night's winner-take-all Game 5 of their AL Division Series in Cleveland.

Breakout star Sean Burke will be on the mound for Chicago. If his previous outings are any indication, the Guards are going to have a tough time scoring. He held the Guardians to one run over $6^{1}/_{3}$ innings on June 23, then limited them to one run across six innings with 11 strikeouts less than two weeks later.

Burke dominated them again in September, firing five innings without allowing an earned run in a 7-3 White Sox win at Progressive Field. That trend carried into this series, when he allowed just one hit and one run over $5^{1/3}$ innings of relief in Game 2, at one point retiring 13 straight Cleveland hitters. Head-to-head stats can be noisy, but dominance like that is hard to ignore.

White Sox manager Will Venable famously hasn't been shy to go to his bullpen early during this playoff run, and that should still be the case with his team's season on the line on Saturday.

That should give the Guardians, who have struggled at the plate aside from Thursday's offensive breakout this postseason, few chances — if any, given how well he's pitched against them — to get to Burke.

If, somehow, Burke gets in trouble, look for Venable to have a quick hook, limiting the damage before Cleveland can put together a crooked number against the right- hander.

THE PLAY: Sean Burke earned runs allowed, Under 1.5 (-140, DraftKings).

STITCHES

Pope, Stitches have Chisox back to close out other ALDS

Time for a little divine intervention. Word from Vatican City is that Pope Leo XIV will be watching and praying for his beloved White Sox from the Sistine Chapel while eating a Chicago-style deep dish pizza ... and maybe having a little red wine.

Game 4 saw 16 pitchers head to the mound, including the ice cream vendor and parking lot attendant. Maybe not in the decisive Game 5. Cleveland will send the reliable Gavin Williams to the hill. Williams was 14-8 during the regular season but lost Game 2 when he surrendered two runs over five frames. He mopped up for an inning when Game 4 was all but over.

The White Sox's Sean Burke, 11-7 this year, was brilliant, tossing a one-hitter for $5^{2}/_{3}$ innings at the Guards in the Game 2 win. Last chance, Chisox. The Pope is behind you and, more importantly, so is Stitches. \$50 on the White Sox.

Down -427 ajpierzynskis as we await the final division series game.

MILDCATS, FOR A WEEK: Northwestern is coming off a rousing win over Penn State and QB Aidan Chiles (above) will visit his former team Michigan State next week. These factors set up Ball State in a nice spot at +35.5 on Saturday.

The second-seeded Valkyries will have home-court advantage and will host No. 4 Atlanta beginning Oct. 17. Las Vegas, which was seeded third, had won three of the past four championships.

Kayla Thornton scored 18 points and the second-year Valkyries became the quickest expansion team to reach the WNBA Finals, sweeping the defending champion Aces 87-77 in overtime Friday night in Game 3 held in Las Vegas.

UFC FIGHT NIGHT Saturday, Las Vegas

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and receiver DeVonta Smith have been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London because of hamstring injuries. Barkley hurt his right hamstring early in last week's 24-20 loss to the Rams and didn't practice all week.

By MICHAEL LEBOFF

We call this weekly column “Ugly Underdogs” for a reason. What we saw from Rutgers against Indiana last weekend was U-G-L-Y. The Scarlet Knights didn’t score until they were down 37-0 in the third quarter, sealing our fate without much of a fight. But don’t worry, it can always get uglier around these parts. This week we’re backing arguably the worst team in the country.

There might not be any program riding the wave quite like Northwestern right now.

Not only did the Wildcats open up their brand-new stadium with a win last Friday night, but they also did it in style over a marquee opponent. Northwestern crushed Penn State, 34-13, to run their record to 3-1 overall and 4-0 against the spread. It was one of the biggest nights in the history of a program that doesn't get to party like that too often.

But this version of Northwestern does seem different. Instead of being labeled as plucky overachievers, the 2026 Wildcats are going out and beating teams with pizzazz. Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly has developed immediate chemistry with quarterback Aidan Chiles, and they've significantly raised the ceiling of this team in a very short amount of time.

The defense is a different story for Northwestern. Though they grade out al-right overall, there are some red flags. Northwestern is allowing just 16.3 points per game against FBS opponents this season, but that number is being buoyed by a stingy red-zone defense and strong numbers on third down. Bending but not breaking is a skill, and Tim McGarigle's unit seems to have it, but the Wildcats will need to improve on their yards per play allowed (5.6) if they're really going to do something special this season.

Of course, these issues are not likely to cost them too much against Ball State.

The Cardinals check into this game ranked No. 134 (out of 138) in FBS by SP+, which is Bill Connelly's catch-all power rankings. Jeff Sagarin, another immensely respected modeler in college football, has Ball State sitting at 164th in all of Division I, meaning there are about 25 FCS schools that grade out better than the Cardinals.

The offense is bleak, the defense is worse, and that all adds up to the Cardinals sitting as an 80/1 underdog on the moneyline on Saturday. That implies that there is roughly a 1.2 percent chance they upset Northwestern. It ain't gonna happen. But that's not the riddle we're trying to solve. The question we want to answer is whether Ball State can be competent enough for 60 minutes on Saturday to lose by 35 points or fewer.

Ćall me crazy, but I believe they can.

Not only should Northwestern's defensive numbers give you pause before laying 35.5 points with the Wildcats, but this is the mother of all letdown spots for them. Their past two games were a six-point loss to Indiana and then the aforementioned party-starting win over Penn State. Those two results were statements. It won't be easy to capture the spirit of the thing when Ball State comes to town.

And it's not only what's behind Northwestern, but also what's in front of them. They have a trip to Michigan State, Chiles' former school, on deck and no other week off this season. This is the closest thing to a breather that they will get until December.

I'd imagine that David Braun will approach this game with plenty of caution, emphasizing staying fresh and sharp over blowing out an opponent that won't threaten them on the scoreboard.

TAKE DAWGS AS 'DOGS

By MICHAEL LEBOFF

No. 6 Alabama is rolling, but 2nd-ranked Georgia is too dominant to resist

Kalen DeBoer's seat has cooled off considerably in Tuscaloosa, and he has his gut to thank.

SMART BET: Georgia head coach Kirby Smart has his Bulldogs playing excellent defense and offense this season. Getty Images

Rather than playing it safe and having 19-year-old Keelon Russell beat out DeBoer's longtime backup Austin Mack, the Alabama head coach handed the ball to the teenager from the jump, and the Tide haven't looked back.

Not only is Alabama undefeated and ranked No. 6 in the country ahead of Saturday's visit from No. 2 Georgia, but the Crimson Tide also have improved every time out on the field. Russell and the offense have exploded for 248 points across five games (49.6 average), and they just scored 56 and averaged 7.9 yards per play against red-hot Mississippi State.

Alabama is back; make no doubt about it. But does that mean they will be able to handle the unflappable Bulldogs?

That's a different question entirely.

The results look the same, but Georgia is doing things a little differently this season. The Bulldogs are still posting their usual dominant numbers on defense, but the offense has finally caught up in Athens.

Kirby Smart's Bulldogs rank first ahead of Alabama in points per game (51.4 average) and seventh in yards per play, and SP+ pegs them as the second-best offense in the country, behind only Alabama.

But here's the most important part of this riddle: Georgia put up 41 points against Oklahoma's vaunted defense. The Sooners aren't going anywhere this season, but their defense is elite, ranking No. 6 in $\mathrm{SP + }$ as we barrel into Week 6. Alabama, for all of their success with the ball, has faced one defense inside the top 50 (Florida State, at No. 50).

Russell and the Tide look like they're going places this season, and they might very well get there eventually, but this will be a massive step-up in weight class for the redshirt freshman.

If he beats us, we'll just tip our cap.

The pick: Georgia +1.5.

PITT (-3.5) over North Carolina: The Panthers were dealt a devastating blow last week when quarterback Mason Heintschel tore his ACL, but this is a team built to weather that kind of storm. Pat Narduzzi's Panthers are old school, and they win games thanks to a tenacious defense that keeps the bar low for the offense. They should be able to handle UNC's moribund offense without much fuss.

UTAH (-15.5) over Kansas: The Jayhawks arrested a two-game slide with a blowout win over Middle Tennessee State last time out, but that doesn't change

the fact that they've under- whelmed against Power 4 oppo- nents so far. Missouri crushed the Jayhawks in the Border War, and eight days later Arizona State scampered out of Lawrence with a win. Utah hasn't put a foot wrong under its new head coach, and I don't see Kansas' offense keeping up with Devon Dampier under the lights at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

LAST WEEK: 1-2. Iowa (L), Clemson (L), Nebraska (W). SEASON: 8-10.

DISCOVER MORE ABOUT YOURSELF AND WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS AT SALLYBROMPTON.COM

LIBRA (Sept. 24-Oct. 23) Don't listen to those who say you are aiming too high because today's new moon in your sign will both guide and protect you and make impossible things look almost easy. The universe wants you to succeed, and you don't want to disappoint it!

m SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) If someone you have feelings for asks you to take on new responsibilities today you will find it hard to turn them down. But turn them down you must because the planets warn those responsibilities could become a major burden. Put your own needs first.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) Today's new moon urges you to get involved in group activities of a social and cultural nature. The more you interact with people who share your outlook on life the more you will discover you are not alone, and the happier you will be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) Cosmic activity in the career area of your chart makes this the ideal time to start moving up in the world. If you have not been making the most of your creative talents you can and you must do better in the weeks and months ahead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) So many things are changing in your life that it might be a bit unsettling. However, your sharp Air sign mind gives you an advantage over most people in that you learn quickly and are never afraid to take risks. Start something new and exciting today.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) An opportunity that appears out of nowhere today may seem too good to be true but the planets indicate it could be a genuine opportunity to improve yourself and maybe make some serious money. Don't waste time thinking about it - act now!

PARIES (March 21-April 20) Today's new moon in the partnership area of your chart will help you smooth things over with loved ones and colleagues. However, with Mars at odds with love planet Venus not everyone will want to play nice. Ignore them and spend the day with those who do.

H TAURUS (April 21-May 21) You may be a creature of habit but today's new moon will encourage you to tear up the rule book and approach life from a very different angle. Some people will be shocked by how easily you adapt to changing circumstances. You may even shock yourself!

GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Cosmic activity in the most dynamic area of your chart makes this an exciting time to be alive, so stay sharp and be ready to move at a moment's notice if a new opportunity presents itself. You will only miss out if you don't act quickly.

CANCER (June 22-July 23) You may think you know what is best for a friend, and maybe you do, but if they clearly don't want your advice then don't try to force it on them. Maybe they know something you do not, or maybe they need to learn from their own mistakes.

$\Omega^{\text{LEO}}$ (July 24-Aug. 23)

The path you are on may be exciting but there are also obstacles ahead that could trip you up if you don't watch where you are treading. You don't have to follow a safe and predictable route but you do have to keep your eyes open.

mp VIRGO (Aug. 24-Sept. 23) If you find yourself at odds with the accepted way of doing things today it's probably you who has got it wrong. If you can admit that fact then no harm will come of it. If, however, you refuse to see sense it could cost you dearly.

BIRTHDAY SATURDAY A new moon on your birthday is a promise of better days to come, but don't wait for the world around you to change - change it yourself. The more adventurous you are over the coming year the more the gods of fortune will smile on you.

TWENTY FOUR MAMBA is now 0 for 13 at this distance after missing by 4+ lengths. Won handily racing for 50k in March. GOLD LUCK is 0 for his last 11. Like Baby Yoda he's eligible to improve second off the break. Stretch running longshot gets a pace to chase. PAIR OF SOCKS was 3rd, a neck better than the compromised top pick.

WING & A PRAYER

Islanders have long-shot path to landing young Detroit defenseman

F THE Islanders want to take up the maxim of never letting a crisis go to waste, there is an opportunity to parlay Alexander Romanov's ACL tear into a star defenseman, should general manager Mathieu Darche be willing to take considerable risk to get there.

That would be in the form of attempting an offer sheet to Simon Edvinsson, the unsigned 23-year-old restricted free agent who currently is skating in Sweden after the Red Wings — the league's clubhouse leader in hot messes — failed to come to an agreement despite the player reporting to training camp without a contract in place.

Reports and rumors have swirled around what clearly is a volatile situation that lacks an empowered front office but includes a meddlesome owner and an enraged fan base. Edvinsson prefers a trade, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported, though that has yet to be widely confirmed and does not rule out re-signing.

The Islanders, at present, are not in a position to give an offer sheet. To be clear, there is no indication at all that they are planning to do so. This is a mere hypothetical, not the reporting of a likely outcome, nor advocacy for it.

Romanov's injury gives them a plausible pathway to opening the necessary cap space to toss a grenade into the NHL, albeit not a simple one. Their first big step would be gaining \$6.25 million in cap relief via putting Romanov on long-term injured reserve, but even that requires navigating landmines.

Under the memorandum of understanding to the collective bargaining agreement that came into effect this offseason, a player must be declared out for the season, including the playoffs, for a team to be given LTIR relief equivalent to his salary. Otherwise, the number is the league average salary from the season

prior. With a six-to-eight month timeline to return from an ACL tear, Romanov has not been explicitly ruled out for the playoffs if the Islanders make it,

and it is understood that the NHLPA would be likely to seek assurance from the player that he understands he would be unable to return, if he was declared out.

This scenario also would commit the Islanders to being in LTIR for the entire season, thus ending their ability to accumulate cap space ahead of the trade deadline — which currently is on pace to outstrip Romanov's salary.

The Islanders also would need to be at the salary cap ceiling to be granted full relief. Currently, they are about \$2.88 million away from it. Paradoxically, they would need to add salary in order to create cap space under LTIR. Those three reasons are why Romanov is not on LTIR right now; it would be a disadvantage for the Islanders to put him there at present.

If the Islanders were to add a player whose salary gets them within range of the ceiling — let's use Stefan Noesen, who is at \$2.75 million and was on waivers Thursday, as a stand-in — they then could send that player down after putting Romanov on LTIR, wiping an additional \$1.225 million off their books in addition to

what would be \$6.12 million of LTIR capture.

Still, the Islanders would need to create more space, but there are ways of doing that. They could pay someone to take on a contract — perhaps that of Pierre Engvall — waive Matt Kessel and Kyle MacLean, or put Mathew Barzal on LTIR retroactive to the start of training camp, without declaring him out for the season. (In Barzal's case, that option might only buy them some time to move out a contract before he returns.)

The Islanders — one of a handful of teams who own their own first-, second- and third-round picks in 2027, which would be required as offer-sheet compensation — then would be in position to offer Edvinsson \$9 million to \$9.5 million, depending on the specifics of how space is created. The smart move would be a one-year offer sheet that would, as detailed first by former Panthers assistant general manager Steve Werier, create maximum discomfort for the Red Wings. Detroit, if it was to match, then would be unable to trade Edvinsson for 365 days and need to extend him again next summer, having failed to do so this time around.

The Islanders would be betting both that Detroit would not match — the Wings would have seven days to decide — and that they could convince Edvinsson to ink a long-term extension next summer to be Matthew Schaefer's partner on the top pair for the foreseeable future.

Given the required midseason salary cap tap dancing — which would make the Rangers' penny-counting to get Patrick Kane a few years ago look like nothing — as well as the belief that the Red Wings still would be likely to match an offer under such circumstances and render the Is-

landers' efforts moot, the risks almost certainly are too great.

The Islanders' potential reward, though, might outweigh the potential pain: a 23-year-old, 220-pound defenseman who can eat minutes, take on tough matchups and would be a long-term piece of the future.

Horvat's status remains in limbo after illegal head check

By ETHAN SEARS

The Islanders are in limbo on Bo Horvat's status, with their newly-named captain still being evaluated on Friday after Frank Nazar's illegal check to the head late in Thursday night's win over Chicago.

Horvat was immediately pulled out of the game by the league's concussion spotters, and didn't take part in a very optional practice on Friday at UBS

ISLES NOTES

Arena.

"I think he's going to see our people again this morning and see how he feels," coach Pete DeBoer said.

The NHL's department of player safety suspended Nazar for two games following a hearing on Friday.

Though that may be some measure of justice, it would do nothing to help the Islanders should they be without Horvat for Saturday's game against the Lightning or beyond.

Horvat's four goals in four games lead the Islanders and so too did his 31 goals last season. He was also the only Islander named to an Olympic team.

With 1:33 to go in Thursday's match and the Islanders leading 3-1, Horvat was upended with a late shoulder to the head area after shooting the puck into an empty net.

The Islanders reacted with furor, jumping into the ensuing melee to defend the captain.

"I definitely think [the hit] was over the line," Kyle Palmieri said. "I don't think it's necessarily taking liberties. It's a fast game, Bo is in a vulnerable position and he's got to know better."

“Hopefully everything goes well with Bo and he’s ready to go. Obviously he’s a huge part of our team, and the hit is what it is and it’s out of our hands now. We reacted as a team and stuck up for each other."

▶ Mathew Barzal continued skating on his own Friday, this time for a longer period than Thursday, but DeBoer struck a note of caution regarding his eventual return from left kneecap inflammation.

"We're not even having those conversations yet," DeBoer said when asked about a timeline for Barzal to rejoin the team. "We're still in the initial phase of return to play."

While the Islanders have maintained Barzal is progressing and feeling good, the timelines attached to his recovery were in terms of his return to skating, not his return to full practices or playing.

The Islanders have a chance to win three consecutive games at home to start the season for just the third time this century, according to team statistician Eric Hornick.

They swept the Lightning last season in three games between the two teams.

WELCOME BACK!

BREAK out the pompoms, grab the confetti, tune up the trumpets and secure the parade route, because if you drafted Jayden Daniels as your fantasy quarterback, you get him back Sunday.

The young dual-threat weapon was knocked out right before halftime of Week 2 with a dislocated left (non-throwing) elbow. With his return, whatever problems your fantasy team had, they now will be magically solved, right?

Daniels' return worthy of tempered excitement

Well, certainly he will help. But you might want to keep a lid on the confetti container for a moment, and perhaps don't schedule a parade just yet. We will allow for the trumpet tuneup, and keep your pompoms close because you want to be ready if it does go as well as some expect.

Let's focus for a moment on the long term. Almost certainly, Daniels is your best QB option on your roster. So whatever you did to bridge the gap during his absence, your team now is almost certainly better. And assuming his good health the rest of the season, he will remain that — even if he isn't a top five fantasy QB like he was in his 2024 rookie season.

So yes, that is better than just "OK." It is even worthy of a hearty pompom shake. Yet, let's see him in action before we toss any confetti.

Now, let's get into the more immediate expectations: What can you expect in Week 5? Across six quarters this season, he is averaging 21.6 fantasy points per game. Yet, when you factor in that half game came against a Dallas defense that can't seem to stop anybody, maybe 21.6 is a bit too optimistic. Let's also consider poten-

tial rust. There, too, is the fact Sunday's game might be played in rainy conditions. Further, Washington's top two receivers both have two receivers both have hamstring problems — Terry McLaurin (questionable) and Stefon Diggs (out).

If we discount for these factors, it puts us more in line with how Daniels fared over six games last season, which is 16.3 per game.

projections (CBS forecast him to be the QB3 this week, ESPN as the top QB overall). That is a level of euphoria that we can't condone, especially with possible bad weather. We fear, if that is your expectation, it very well might rain on your parade.

Often, we like to wait a week if possible for play.

That makes Daniels more of a back-end QB1 play — on par with Tyler Shough (in a difficult matchup), Deshaun Watson and Bo Nix. Not the rarefied air you find with some if possible for players returning from injury. But 1) Daniels wasn't out long, and 2) There aren't

any fill-in options we would stick with ahead of him.

Shough? Not against the Vikings. Bryce Young? On a bye. Matthew Stafford? Tempting, but no — Kyren Williams could account for too many of Stafford's potential TDs.

Daniels' return also helps other Commanders, at least those who are playing. With Diggs out, we like rookie Antonio Williams as a deep Flex option and

solid DFS tournament play. If McLaurin is also out, expect Williams to get a parade of targets.

We would say it also will help the Washington running back, but Washington doesn't have a running game. If you're looking for a rusher who stands to gain the most from Daniels'

So no, it isn't quite time to map the parade route. But it is worth of an enthusiastic fist pump. dloftis@nypost.com return, that rusher is Daniels.

BIG WEEKS

SMALL WEAKS

Aaron Rodgers QB, Steelers, vs. Colts (FanDuel \$7,000/DraftKings \$5,300)

If you have a QB who is on a bye, injured or named Justin Herbert, then Rodgers is a decent streaming option this week. He has back-to-back games of 20-plus fantasy points, and he faces a bottom-tier fantasy pass defense.

Jacoby Brissett QB, Cardinals, vs. Lions (FD \$6,800/DK \$5,500)

Speaking of good matchups, anyone facing Detroit deserves starting consideration. The Lions give up 11.6 fantasy points per game more than the league average. For perspective, you can take an average of the points an average defense allows, add an average Justin Herbert game (10.9), and it still wouldn't be as much as the Lions normally give up.

Braelon Allen RB, Jets, vs. Browns (FD \$5,900/DK \$5,400)

The Jets barely had the ball in the first half last week, and they fell well behind in the process. Allen will get more opportunities this time.

Will Shipley RB, Eagles, vs. Jaguars (FD \$6,100/DK N/A)

The Eagles are missing Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (IR). Shipley is next in line. Dameon Pierce also becomes a DFS dart.

Drake Maye QB, Patriots, vs. Raiders (FD \$7,800/DK \$6,300)

He looked much better last week, but the Pats' biggest problem is protection. And the Raiders have a fierce pass rush led by Maxx Crosby. It could be another ugly day for Maye.

Tyler Shough QB, Saints, vs. Vikings (FD \$7,700/DK \$6,100)

He was humbled last week by a suddenly super Falcons team. Sunday, he faces an even stiffer test against the league's top fantasy defense. Don't bail on him for the season, but find an alternative this week if you can.

Omarion Hampton RB, Chargers vs. Broncos (FD \$7,100/DK \$6,000)

The Chargers have been a mess this season, and now they have three O-linemen who are questionable. Plus, we're waiting for a get-well game for a Broncos defense that should be significantly better than its numbers so far. This might be that game.

David Montgomery RB, Texans, at Titans (FD \$6,800/DK \$5,800)

Boy, Week 1 sure seems like a long time ago. After racking up 26.9 fantasy points in PPR formats in the opener, Montgomery has scored 17.5 total in three games since. In contrast, Woody Marks has 25.8 in that span.

Playing it safe can pay off

THE WIDE receiver landscape has descended into absolute chaos, leaving fantasy football managers clutching their playbooks in despair. Injuries have torn through depth charts across the league with ruthless precision.

Among those with Week 5 injury concerns: Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Terry McLaurin, Chris Olave, Carnell Tate and Dontayvion Wicks. Plus, Stefon Diggs and Michael Pittman Jr. already have been ruled out.

When proven starters go down, the natural inclination is to overcompensate by chasing high-upside fliers in hopes of striking gold. Dart throws like Treylon Burks and Dohnte Meyers suddenly become popular additions based strictly on vague projections of extra targets. It is a dangerous trap.

Instead of swinging for the fences with volatile options, target wideouts who offer genuine floor and week-to-week stability, look for receivers who maintain a fixed role in their team's passing attack, possess established quarterback trust and consistently deliver respectable fantasy points per game.

Jacksonville's Jakobi Meyers is a prime example, quietly locking down a 10.4 average in full-point PPR formats through a dependable, high-percentage target share in critical third-down situations. Wan'Dale Robinson of the Titans provides similar refuge with a 10.1 average, earning steady short-yardage volume and designed touches near the line of scrimmage. Even an emerging option like Miami's Malik Washington offers a reliable 9.5 baseline while providing explosive, dynamic ability, having already logged multiple receptions over 25 yards this season.

These steady wideouts aren't dependent on rare touchdown variance or broken plays. They offer predictable baseline volume that guarantees you stay competitive while your stars recover.

When injuries threaten to dismantle your roster, chasing wild variance often leads straight to defeat. Embracing the unglamorous, high-floor substitute is often the smartest and safest strategy.

NETMINDER NIGHTMARE Shesterkin helped off ice in Blueshirts blow

By MOLLIE WALKER

WASHINGTON — It's impossible to overstate the challenge that lies ahead for the Rangers should the apparent right leg injury Igor Shesterkin sustained during the second period of Friday night's 3-1 loss to the Capitals sideline him for the foreseeable future.

The Blueshirts would lose more than just the best goaltender in the NHL, who was off to an electric start to the season. Removing Shesterkin from the equation would be the equivalent of taking the spark plug out of a car engine: no ignition; nothing can run smoothly.

He is, hands down, the most important part.

What makes the potential loss so devastating is how much of a turbocharged, well-oiled machine the Rangers looked to be in the previous four games.

"It's awful," captain J.T. Miller said. "He's a pillar of this team."

The injury occurred during a second-period Capitals power play, when Shesterkin ventured far out of the crease to challenge an unmarked Pierre-Luc Dubois.

The Capitals forward lost the puck while attempting to make a move around him, but Shesterkin scrambled to get back into the net and slid his right leg into the post hard. His leg appeared to awkwardly bend back during the sequence, prompting Shesterkin to immediately fall onto his back.

"It's concerning," head coach Mike Sullivan said. "He's a big part of this team, without a doubt. I've said it on so many different occasions: He is amongst the best goalies in the world, if not the best. He's that good."

The 30-year-old slammed his glove on the ice in apparent pain as a Rangers trainer

Backstopping the Rangers in three of the first four games, Shesterkin looked automatic in net with 88 saves on 95 shots for a .926 save percentage. He's made an impact on the scoresheet with the Rangers' historic made his way onto the ice.

Without putting any weight on his right leg, Shesterkin had to be helped off the ice slowly.

Callum Tung, who at 22 has just 20 AHL games to his name, could be the Rangers' backup goalie Sunday at Madison Square Garden.

The Rangers already have one goalie on injured reserve: Joonas Korpisalo, who has yet to play a game after suffering a lower-body injury sometime during the

The Rangers did not crater in the face of a potentially devastating injury to their star goalie.

start of the season. Slated to serve as backup to Shesterkin before the injury, Korpisalo was labeled as week to week and has yet to resume skating.

As a result, rookie Dylan Garand was summoned back to New York less than a week after he was among the last round of cuts in training camp.

Garand stopped 11 of the 12 shots he faced Friday night in relief. With just five games of NHL experience, the 24-year-old Garand would assume starting responsibilities after beginning the season as the Rangers' third-stringer.

The Rangers also will need

With the game tied 1-1 and Garand in goal, the visitors bent but didn't break for much of Washington's push in the middle frame. It wasn't until rookie Cole Beaudoin surrendered the puck up the middle of the Rangers zone that the Capitals broke through on a goal from Boone Jenner.

It was a particularly tough game for the 20-year-old Beaudoin, who was recalled and made his NHL debut Wednesday in the wake of Joe Veleno's IR designation. In addition to his two giveaways, Beaudoin looked overwhelmed at times in the defensive zone.

“You see arguably your very best player [go down], that’s a tough loss for our team,” Sullivan said. “I thought we fought hard. We battled. Our third period was probably our best. I thought we had the right intentions out there, just trying to control play.”

WASHINGTON — Just two seasons ago, the Rangers specifically recalled Matt Rempe from Hartford to face Tom Wilson, Dylan McIlrath and the Capitals.

The 6-foot-9 forward had been in and out of the Blueshirts lineup through the first six games of the 2024-25 campaign before he was assigned to the Wolf Pack later in October. When it came time to go up against two of the NHL's most notorious agitators — one with whom the Rangers have plenty of history — the team turned to Rempe in the aftermath of his face-punching welcome to the league.

Rempe boxed out of lineup, but too risky. to send down

NO MAN'S LAND: Rangers center Matt Rempe on Friday night was a healthy scratch for the fifth consecutive game. Sending him to AHL Hartford, though, would involve placing him on waivers. Jason Szenes

Much has changed since then, for both the Rangers and Rempe.

Though the Capitals still possess the two enforcers, the 24-year-old was a healthy scratch Friday night — a 3-1 loss — for a fifth straight game.

"You obviously want to play, but I just control what I can control," Rempe told The Post after participating in another lengthy extra session following an optional morning skate. "Work on my game; get better; stay in good shape; work on my skills every day. When my name gets called, make the most of it and do what I can to help the team win."

Rempe assured that his left thumb, which required two surgeries to fix last season, "has no issues."

The four-game winning streak the Rangers carried into Friday's contest certainly has something to do with head coach Mike Sullivan keeping his lineup the same, but so does the play of Rempe's replacement, Jaroslav Chmelar.

Earlier this season, Sullivan indicated the right wing spot on the fourth line would be an ongoing evaluation, partially depending on who the Rangers were playing on any given night.

Rempe, of course, brings a much more physical presence than Chmelar, who has shown flashes of a more well-rounded game at the pace that has become pivotal in today's NHL.

The decision to scratch Rempe again could be Sullivan's desire to stick with a winning lineup — understandable and not out of the ordinary.

With Rempe unable to get the call against a heavy Capitals team, however, the question mark hovering over his role on the Rangers just became a little bigger.

“Remps and I have had discussions frequently about his circumstance and the team,” Sullivan said. “We try to communicate with all of our players on the decisions we make and why we make them. As I say to the guys all the time, they’re not always going to agree with the decision that we make, but our hope is that they’ll respect the decision that we make.

"We try to make the best decisions we think for the team that gives us the best chance to win."

After he was unable to play his brand of hockey last season, Rempe said he felt like himself again during the Rangers' season-opening 3-0 loss in Boston.

He said he felt good and strong, noting that he was pleased with his play despite being away from game action for so long having, been sidelined for 56 of 82 games last season. It's unclear when Rempe could get his next opportunity, especially if Chmelar's stock keeps rising and the team keeps winning.

The Rangers surely would like for him to be playing games consistently, but Rempe must be put on waivers in order to be assigned to Hartford. Losing him for nothing is a risk the Rangers likely don't want to take.

Rempe did end up fighting McIlrath early in the first period of that Oct. 29, 2024, game, but the Rangers ultimately lost 5-3.

In fact, the Rangers have only beaten the Capitals once in their last five regular-season games against them with Rempe in the lineup.

“It’s competitive,” Rempe said. “I just focus on myself, what I can do. I think my type of game is different than anyone else’s type of game. So I think that if I’m my best me, there’s not many people like that who can do that type of role. Just kind of focus on myself and grow my game.”

Big SEC clash on despite forecast

Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The Southeastern Conference college football clash between No. 2 Georgia and No. 6 Alabama remained on schedule for Saturday night despite the looming arrival of Hurricane Isaias along the U.S. Gulf Coast.

President Donald Trump, however, will no longer attend the game. Trump posted on his social media site Friday that “based on the fact that a huge Hurricane/Storm is coming, it is important to have our wonderful First Responders, Law Enforcement, and others, focused on that Storm, and in no way be thinking about the safety, or presence, of the President of the United States, ME!”

7:30 p.m. ABC

"Therefore, I will miss that potentially unbelievable Game, Alabama vs. Georgia," Trump continued. "But, hopefully, the Game will go on despite the weather!"

Forecasters have warned of a significant storm surge, damaging winds, flooding and possible tornadoes before the storm loses steam inland. ESPN's "College GameDay" show was moved indoors instead of being outside near the stadium, and Alabama officials shortened tailgating hours on campus, barring tents amid concerns about high winds.

Tuscaloosa is about 200 miles north of the Alabama coast and an hour's drive from the Mississippi state line. There is a chance the storm has largely passed Tuscaloosa by the 7:30 p.m. Eastern kickoff, and conditions at Bryant-Denny Stadium might be more soggy than a gusty downpour.

'GOING TO BE SCARY'

Motivated Jones can make big difference for Yankees in 2027

By MARK W. SANCHEZ

Virtually every player will tell you there are areas of the game he will try to improve. It is nearly impossible to reach the majors without a strong work ethic and a desire to get better.

But considering his past, Spencer Jones stands out as a player capable of real growth because he already has grown plenty.

"In my own head, I've got a list of things I want to work on, things I want to do," Jones said in the gloom of the clubhouse after the Rays swept the Yankees. "I'm motivated after this. Just move forward, head down into the next season."

Jones was abnormal in almost every way — height, weight, speed, strength, rawness — coming out of Vanderbilt in 2022, and the 6-foot-7 freak of an athlete was a project who required time. He struck out 200 times against Double-A pitching in 2024. He overhauled his batting stance for the following year, which led to a strong, but not a breakthrough, 2025 season. He again looked different at the plate last spring, when he unveiled a wide-open approach that was modeled after Shohei Ohtani, and he hit enough to finally force his way to the majors.

Predictably, he struggled (hitting .167 with a .426 OPS in his first 10-game stint).

And predictably, he improved with time, looking more comfortable with each call-up until the Yankees could no longer demote him. In his final 76 games, he owned a .774 OPS with 11 home runs and nine steals.

And 105 strikeouts in total, which was on Jones' mind after he struck out eight more times in 20 postseason plate appearances.

"I struck out a million times this year," the 25-year-old said in expanding on his offseason to-do list. "I feel like I didn't help the team in certain contexts that way. I think defensively, I think I can get better. I think I can get faster.

"And then the mental side of the game — leaning on the resources we have here and making sure that I'm the best competitor when the season starts next year."

Quietly, there are not many more important Yankees than Jones, though not because of his prodigious power. If he cannot master center field, to whom would the Yankees turn?

Arguably the two best center fielders on the free agent market were featured in the division series: Trent Grisham, 30 next month and already the slowest starting center fielder in the sport, and 32-year-old Cedric Mullins (presuming he or the Rays decline a mutual option) after a season in which his defense ticked up but his .628 OPS was the fifth worst in the sport among qualifiers.

Other options likely will include Luis Robert Jr. (who totaled 61 games this year because of injuries) and Daulton Varsho (whose .637 OPS placed him one spot better than Mullins). Because of the athleticism and speed needed in center field, teams are usually better off developing their own than signing aging veterans.

Which means Jones becoming a real center fielder would be enormous for the Yankees, who “100 percent” hope to use this offseason and spring to help him develop in center, according to Ryan Hunt, the organization’s director of infield, outfield and baserunning.

"He knows it's in the tank," Hunt said earlier this month, "and we believe it's in there, too."

Jones has looked inexperienced defensively, where his abilities — notably a lively arm and elite speed — are obvious, but his route-running, first step and ability to finish plays need work. Despite the athleticism gap, the Yankees trusted

Grisham in center over Jones, who shifted to right field without Aaron Judge.

Like with Jones' swing, the club sees his defense growing.

“You see some of the jumps improving. You see some of the routes improving,” said Hunt, who added that Jones’ throwing arm, too, has taken strides and reached a career high of 95 mph this season. “He’s definitely a work in progress. We haven’t seen the best version of him yet.

“What we do know is we have someone elite and we trust to stick there [in center].”

Charged with just two errors but rating below average in range, Jones has not made enough of the routine plays. He also has displayed the ability to make some of the spectacular plays.

If Jones' development stalls, consider the Yankees' in-house options: Cody Bellinger (who is better suited for left field), Jasson Dominguez (who has not developed well defensively) and perhaps Grisham, who expressed an interest to return but had a disappointing season both offensively and defensively.

The Yankees believe Jones can take the necessary defensive steps in part because he already has taken the necessary offensive steps.

"Kid works his tail off," Hunt said. "He's going to put the work in, but the mentality is also there. He cares a ton about his positioning and understanding what the matchups are going into the game and how he can best put himself in a position to make plays. A really cerebral, really athletic player.

“Once he reaches his full potential, I think it’s going to be scary.”

Williams gets call for Guards

By JOE REEDY

CLEVELAND — After pitching the ninth inning Thursday night, Gavin Williams will get the start for the Guardians in Saturday night's winner-take-all Game 5 of their AL Division Series against Sean Burke and the White Sox.

The game begins at 8 p.m. on TBS.

"Gavin wants the ball. We

want him to have the ball, and it's his game," Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said after announcing

Williams was his starter.

Williams was the eighth Cleveland pitcher used during Thursday night's 9-5 win in Game 4 at Chicago. He made his first relief appearance in the majors on Thursday after reliever Cade Smith got into trouble in the ninth after Miguel Vargas homered and Munetaka Murakami drew a walk.

The right-hander threw 18 pitches with one hit allowed and one strikeout to nail down the win and even the best-of-five series at two games apiece.

Williams said he walked by Vogt's office after the game and told the third-year manager he was ready to go.

"The body feels good right now. I've been in the training room all morning, just figuring it out. But it's just a normal day really," said Williams, who went

14-8 during the regular season and led the AL with 248 strikeouts. "I throw a pen on those days, and everybody knows it. So there's nothing different. Just being able to feel the mound in a game situation is even better at that point."

Williams struck out 11 in five-plus innings in Mon-day's 4-3 loss in Game 2. He was the first pitcher in franchise history to whiff five

straight in a postseason game. He also had 16 pitches over 100 mph, the fourth-most by an AL pitcher

in a playoff game since tracking started in 2008.

The 27-year old Williams allowed two runs on four hits. He threw 98 pitches, including 59 strikes, but got into trouble by allowing the leadoff hitter to get aboard in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. The Guardians had a 2-1 lead before the White Sox rallied with three in the sixth to take the lead.

This will be Williams' sixth start and seventh appearance against the White Sox this season. He is 0-1 with a 3.76 ERA with 40 strikeouts and 11 walks.

“They’re still a hard team to pitch to. There’s nothing really to learn at this point of the season. I know what they got, and they know what I got,” Williams said.

Burke will be making his fifth appearance and third start against Cleveland this year and is 3-0 with a 1.19 ERA. —AP

DeMarco expects to return for 2027

By MADELINE KENNEY and JONATHAN LEHMAN

Liberty head coach Chris DeMarco said after the team's season-ending loss in the semifinals that he expects to return in 2027.

Asked whether he's discussed his future with general manager Jonathan Kolb, DeMarco said, "As far as I know, every communication I've had, dialogue I've had, the answer is yes."

DeMarco's job security, just one year after taking the helm, is in the spotlight after the Liberty were swept out of the playoffs by the Dream.

Given a chance to endorse DeMarco's return after the game, Jonquel Jones, Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart each declined to do so.

"I don't know what's going to happen," Ionescu said. "Regardless, thankful for him coaching us this year and giving us a chance and we just fell short."

"Those decisions aren't ours," Stewart added. "I think my focus and what I'm thinking about right now is just: missed opportunity."

Kolb understood the risk of firing Sandy Brondello a year after she delivered the franchise its first WNBA championship. He said it himself that he needed to "nail" the hire for her replacement.

“Ultimately we determined that evolution and innovation is what is needed at this time,” Kolb said.

After a lengthy coaching search, the Liberty landed on DeMarco, a longtime Warriors assistant coach.

DeMarco was a somewhat novice head coach. His only prior experience as a head coach was leading the Bahamian men's national team to the doorstep of the country's first Olympic berth in basketball.

His inexperience in the first chair showed at times during the season in DeMarco's management of late-game situations — the timeout snafu from the Game 2 loss to the Dream being the most recent and most prominent example — and ability to make in-game adjustments.

They finished the regular season with a 26-18 record — one win fewer than a year ago — and were the eighth seed in the playoffs after being fifth in 2025.

Turns out, the entire era of Liberty basketball might need a reset timeout.

A season that began with such high hopes of returning to the top of the WNBA ended in a semifinals sweep with an 85-83 Game 3 loss to the Dream on Friday night in front of a disappointed capacity crowd of 17,991 at Barclays Center.

DREAM 85 Game 3
LIBERTY 83 Box.; P. 32

If this was the last stand of this Liberty golden age — heralded by Breanna Stewart's arrival in 2023 and notarized by a first championship in 2024 — they went down swinging.

"This is just a tough pill to swallow," said Jonquel Jones, who posted game highs with 26 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks. "We know how talented we are, and every year is about being able to play for and ultimately win the championship. We fell short this year."

Make that two years running. It was less the fact of a final-four finish than the texture of a team that repeatedly was sidetracked during the season — by injuries (to Sabrina Ionescu and marquee addition Satou Sabally), by departures (Betnijah Laney-Hamilton), by first-year head coach Chris DeMarco's crash introduction to the league — and now will be another year removed from that trophy-raising high.

The Liberty finished with a 26-18 record that was only good for eighth place and a 2-3 mark in the postseason, where a stirring first-round triumph over the top-seeded Lynx quickly turned into a nightmare ouster by the Dream.

“You need to be consistent. I don’t think we were consistent,” Stewart said. “We started to show some life and peak a little bit toward the end and in the playoffs, but this is not like cramming for a test. You gotta be ready to go since the jump.”

The Liberty were outmuscled and out-quicked by an opponent with its own prime-aged stars (see: Angel Reese, Rhyne Howard) making its leap into the WNBA's elite — where the Liberty were, circa three years ago.

2026 comes to sudden end in sweep by Dream

Or where the Valkyries, another team cited in the aftermath as a matchup problem for the Liberty, now will join the Dream in the Finals.

An offseason of introspection and potentially seismic moves awaits a franchise with championship-or-bust standards.

"I believe in this locker room, and I believe in our roster and I do think we had enough," DeMarco said.

Of course, DeMarco's status might top the list of questions. He said he expects to return in 2027.

After a Game 2 loss that will be remembered for DeMarco and the Liberty bizarrely not using a reset timeout that was in their pocket before their final possession, Game 3 was a more straightforward kind of nail-biter.

The Liberty led 71-66 early in the fourth quarter then went more than five minutes without scoring during a 9-0 Dream run.

Trailing by two with 18 seconds left, the Liberty drew up a look for Stewart out of a timeout, but it didn't go down.

"It's really hard to win a WNBA championship, and I feel like because we did it, went [to the Finals] twice early on, it was almost like, 'Oh, this is going to be an every year thing,' Stewart said. "This s-t isn't easy. And when you get there and you win, you can't take it for granted."

Stewart emptied the tank. After carrying the Liberty throughout the season with vintage two-way play that landed her in the top five of MVP voting and after piling up major minutes down the stretch, Stewart ran for 39:03. She scored 26 points (on 6-of-15 shooting) and added four rebounds and six assists.

Ionescu, the third member of the franchise's vaunted Big 3 and a face of the operation since being drafted No. 1 overall in 2020, finished with 12 points on 4-of-12 shooting to cap a down season that she said was hampered "a lot" by a back injury.

“You don’t know what anything’s going to look like,” Ionescu said, “but obviously [I] like the group that we have. Us three poured our hearts into trying to make this work for this organization and this fanbase that showed up for us.”

jlehman@nypost.com

B REANNA Stewart walked off the Barclays Center court with a white towel draped over her head Friday night.

It was the parting image of the Liberty's 85-83 season-ending loss to the Atlanta Dream in the semifinals.

Not only was this the first time in Stewart's WNBA career she had been swept in a multi-game series, but it also marked the first time New York was swept in a best-off-five series.

"I was getting a little bit emotional walking off the court with our fans because I know how much they have our back and they really ride for us," Stewart said. "And my focus was today ... I wanted for us to continue to have a shot and extend this season and play for our fans."

Two years removed from winning the franchise's first WNBA championship, another postseason has raised questions that were supposed to have been answered.

The Liberty dismissed Sandy Brondello after a first-round exit last fall and general manager Jonathan Kolb preached the importance of “innovation” and “evolution.”

WE SHALL SEE: Despite championship aspirations, Sabrina Ionescu and the Liberty fell short of expectations. Going into the offseason, several questions must be answered — including whether or not the Big 3 is the answer writes The Post's Madeline Kenney.

Disappointing season could lead to some big changes

The Liberty signaled the start of a new era with the hire of longtime Warriors assistant coach Chris De-Marco last December.

But this season didn't yield the results the Liberty set out to accomplish.

"There's pressure here, right? There's a standard that's expected from us," Leonie Fiebich said. "This team wants to be in the finals. This team wants to continue to win.

"We won in '24 because we brought the toughness and we had the talent and we had the team chemistry. We got to continue to find ways to get that back to compete at the highest level to make it to the finals."

The Liberty entered the season as championship favorites after resigning their Big 3 — Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones — through 2028. They added Satou Sabally as a marquee free agent, among other players, to bolster the roster.

New York's locker room was loaded. The team was widely lauded as the league's biggest, longest and deepest.

But the Liberty fell short of expectations.

“Every year is hard,” Stewart said, “but this was a different type of hard.”

For stretches of the season, the Liberty looked on the rocks. They dropped eight of 10 midway through the season — the worst such stretch in the Big 3 era. The team's defensive identity wavered.

Entering the final week of the season, the Liberty had the chance to finish as high as fourth. They landed the eighth and final seed.

The Liberty were playing their best basketball when the playoffs hit, pulling off a historic sweep of the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx in the first round. Then, their season was put to rest by the Dream.

Another disappointing ending has brought the Liberty in front of a mirror where they must figure out whether the reflection belongs to a championship contender or a team that has become too attached to the idea of simply being viewed as one.

Has this group reached its ceiling?

Bigger change may be on the horizon. The Liberty cannot act with complacency disguised as loyalty.

Nobody — outside of Stewart — should be comfortable this offseason.

Some of the questions looming over the team after Friday's loss include:

Is the Big 3 still the answer?

Is DeMarco the coach to lead the next title run?

Is Kolb the executive who should determine both?

There's a photo that forever memorialized Stewart, Jones and Ionescu in Liberty lore.

They stood in front of a gray backdrop. Jones held her 2024 Finals MVP trophy in her right arm and wrapped her left around Ionescu.

Ionescu, the franchise's only No. 1 pick, shared duties of holding the massive WNBA championship trophy with Stewart. Both put up a finger because they were finally No. 1.

The trio united in New York in 2023 to win a championship. A year later, they accomplished the feat.

To anyone on the outside, it felt like one would be just the beginning.

2nd chance for Volpe may. come at 2B

By GREG JOYCE

In a season full of swings, Anthony Volpe nearly saved his best for last.

Alas, what initially looked like a game-tying, two-run homer in Game 3 of the ALDS could not be saved by the second coming of Jeffrey Maier, and a few innings later, the Yankees were swept by the Rays.

But Volpe's near-moment, after a season in which he was twice demoted to Triple-A after losing his job as the Yankees starting shortstop, was a reminder that he may still have a place in the future of

the organization, namely as their second baseman next season.

There is a long way to go between now and whenever (or if) baseball begins in 2027 — due to the looming lockout — but as the Yankees enter the offseason, Volpe has at least given himself a chance to find a home

ANTHONY VOLPE

again in pinstripes, as George Lombard Jr.'s double-play partner.

“If we were going to go win a World Series, we needed Anthony Volpe on the team,” Aaron Judge said late Wednesday night. “He’s an incredible player, not only the talent he has, but to handle that type of adversity — not only from the game, not playing your best and then hearing it from fans, hearing it from everybody, and then for him to go down to Triple-A, work on what he needed to and then come up here with a bang like he did, it speaks volumes to his character and the type of grit he has.”

It was not long ago that Volpe was at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, looking like a player who might benefit from a change of scenery in a trade this offseason. It is not out of the question that the 25-year-old could still be dealt this winter, depending on how the Yankees offseason shakes out. But with Jazz Chisholm Jr. headed to free agency and unlikely to return (despite his wishes), Volpe at the very least looks like a placeholder at second base, if not something more.

In the Yankees' five playoff games, Volpe started over Chisholm twice. The first came against Red Sox lefty Payton Tolle in Game 1 of the AL wild-card series before Chisholm's untrustworthiness led to Volpe starting again in Game 3 of the ALDS against Rays righty Nick Martinez with the season on the line.

Aaron Boone even considered starting Volpe at third base, a position at which he has played just one career major league game, for Game 2 against the Rays before deciding not to risk his first game there on Tropicana Field's turf coming in the playoffs (though the decision to stick with Ryan McMahon still ultimately burned the Yankees).

That Volpe was at second base for Game 3 was an indictment of

Chisholm, but it also spoke to how the club believes in Volpe's makeup, which was reinforced with how he responded to the demotion to Triple-A when he was replaced by Lombard after the trade deadline.

"Volpe, what he's able to do, talk about facing adversity, and what's it

tell you about him and his character and his makeup and his ability?" Boone said. "The way he's come back and the level of at-bats he's throwing up there [in Game 3], getting off the mat."

While Volpe hit 3-for-7 with a double and two strikeouts in his two playoff games this year, it remains a question what the Yankees could get out of him offensively next season. The demotion to Triple-A gave him the time to make some adjustments in his swing — ones he couldn't fully make last offseason, which he spent most of rehabbing shoulder surgery — most notably using a stepback with his back foot to get him in a better rhythm.

In the 14 regular-season games he played after coming back up from Triple-A, he hit .265 with a .695 OPS, one home run and five steals. Whether there is more where that came from (meaning more than his career .661 OPS across four seasons) remains to be seen.

Volpe did look comfortable at second base, where his arm plays better and gives him more time to not have to rush plays, and it might just be his ticket to staying in The Bronx next year after a turbulent season.

GHOST OF

History repeats itself as Yanks were reeling from disappointing postseason loss a century ago today

T WAS 100 years ago today that Paul Gallico, who was the unchallenged leading voice of New York sports all across the loudest minutes of the Roaring Twenties, asked his readers a curious question that, exactly a century later, all but crackles with irony.

"Do you think," Gallico wrote late in the afternoon of Oct. 10, 1926, "that the New York Yankees will ever win a championship again?"

Gallico had just witnessed Game 7 of the World Series at 3-year-old Yankee Stadium, and it had left him — and much of baseball New York — both frazzled and puzzled ... not unlike the way much of baseball New York feels on Oct. 10, 2026, truth be told.

And for a whole host of eerily similar reasons.

●The Yankees had just lost a series in which they were the distinct favorite of the bookmakers to a fine baseball team that never could have kept up with the Yankees in a game of Home Run Derby but outclassed them in all the small-ball ways underdog teams have always battled that particular market inefficiency.

●The Yankees had been throttled by an overwhelming pitching performance and never recovered.

- They'd sabotaged themselves with a distinct inability to field their positions cleanly.

●They were ultimately sunk by one of the worst baserunning gaffes imaginable.

And, to Gallico's point, the 1926 Yankees were an undisputed box-office sensation. They were the only team to draw 1 million fans, 115,000 more than the second-place

Cubs. They out-drew the onetime kings of New York, the Giants, by some 300,000-plus. They hit 121 homers as a team, 31 clear of the field and they had the No. 1 attraction in the sport, Babe Ruth, enjoying one of his best years to date — 54 homers and an astonishing 1.253 OPS.

But this was the fourth time the Yankees had qualified for the World

Series and they'd now lost three of them, winning only in 1923.

"The postseason is a crapshoot," Yankees GM Ed Barrow didn't say, although you can imagine that he surely might have thought it.

It left a bad taste in the mouths of New Yorkers, especially in the immediate aftermath of Game 7, one of the seminal games in baseball his-

tory and one that mimicked, across all nine of its innings and all 2 hours and 15 minutes of its duration, what their Yankees descendants 100 years later would absorb at the hands (and arms, and gloves, and spikes) of the Tampa Bay Rays.

Oct. 10, 1926, dawned gray and cold and miserable with morning temps in the 30s, a perfectly timed reminder that New York was closer to winter than to summer. That series had already set an all-time record for World Series attendance, with six straight stuffed ballparks at

PINSTRIPE PAST

both Yankee Stadium and St. Louis' Sportsman's Park.

There had been six terrific games too. In Game 4, a 10-5 Yankees rout in St. Louis, Ruth had clobbered three home runs. Within minutes of game's end, it was revealed that back home, in a hospital bed in Essex Fells, N.J., 11-year-old Johnny Sylvester had been listening on the radio. After Game 2, Sylvester's father, Horace, had reached out to both clubs asking for autographed baseballs to cheer up Johnny, battling a serious infection, who'd nearly died.

Both teams complied. But the Cards' message — "Here's hoping you'll soon be batting 1.000 in health!" — didn't become a part of American mythology. The Yankees'did. That ball was signed by Ruth, who'd added: "I'll knock a homer for you in Wednesday's game!" Unlike Ruth's other dabble with folklore — his "called shot" against the Cubs' Charlie Root six years later at Wrigley Field — this time the message was captured by photographers, the ball arriving in Essex fells the day after Ruth's tour de force.

That bit of drama had thus far overwhelmed the other one, which was the improbable resurrection of 39-year-old Grover Cleveland Alexander. Cut loose by the Cubs in June after 318 wins and almost as many tales of after-hours debauchery, the man known as Ol' Pete pitched credibly for the Cards after they claimed him, then pitched brilliantly against the Yankees.

In Game 2, he limited the Yankees to four hits, striking out 10 in a 6-2 win. Then, in Game 6, with New York eager to coronate their champs-in-waiting, he'd done it again, scattering eight hits, striking out six, and the Cardinals won 10-2. Afterward, Alexander was approached by player-manager Rogers Hornsby (adding to the many storylines, Hornsby's mother had passed on the eve of the Series).

"Alex, if you want to celebrate tonight, I wouldn't blame you," Alexander recalled years later to John Carmichael of the Chicago Daily News, a nugget later unearthed by baseball's rank historian, John

Thorn. "But go easy, for we may need you tomorrow."

(Remember that version of the story, for now.)

The next day, only 38,093 showed up at Yankee Stadium, many turned off by the weather, many more no doubt opting work over play in those still-prosperous years before the coming crash. They got one thing they desperately wanted: a third-inning Ruth home run that snuck just over the 295-foot sign in right. That gave the Yankees a 1-0 lead.

But an inning later, the Yankees lit themselves on fire. A hundred years later, it would be Ryan McMahon and Jazz Chisholm Jr. In 1926, it was Mark Koenig booting a one-out, double-play grounder from Les Bell. Then, after a single by Chick Hafey that loaded the bases, Bob O'Farrell lofted a short fly ball to left, an easy can of corn that Bob Meusel flat dropped.

(Think Aaron Judge, Game 5, 2024 World Series. Also: remember Meusel and O'Farrell. You'll be hearing from both again soon.)

PLAY IT AGAIN: Babe Ruth — with Rogers Hornsby — and the Yankees lost the 1926 World Series in crushing fashion. Tony Lazzeri (above) struck out with the bases loaded in the seventh inning, and the game ended with Ruth being thrown out on a baserunning gaffe that would be echoed a century later by Austin Wells (left).

By inning's end it was 3-1, Cardinals. The Yankees scratched a run in the sixth on a Hank Severeid double, and it was still 3-2 in the bottom of the seventh when St. Louis starter Jesse Haines loaded the bases on a single by Earle Combs, an intentional walk to Ruth and an unintentional one to Lou Gehrig.

Up stepped Tony Lazzeri, destined for the Hall of Fame 65 years later, who in this, his rookie year, had driven in 117 runs (but also led the sport in strikeouts with 96). And out of the dugout stepped Hornsby. He was bringing in a reliever — but nobody knew who that was because the bullpen in those days was under the bleachers and out of sight.

The crowd, as one, announced the name in those years before public-address announcers: "ALEXANDER!" And thus began one of the most-discussed trips to a mound ever.

For Ol' Pete was walking slowly and uncertainly. His cap was two sizes two small for his head (but he'd always worn it that way). Over the years, given his history with whiskey, the legend grew that Alexander had spent the day sleeping off his hangover in the bullpen. A few loose-lipped teammates insisted they saw him pull a time or two from a flask. But Alexander himself insisted, "I was assessing the situation.

You can't follow the game in the bullpen. And suddenly I realize the bases are loaded and Lazzeri is up."

Alexander took only a couple of warmups. He threw two curves to Lazzeri, a ball and a strike. O'Farrell called for a fastball next, and Lazzeri crushed it, a laser that at first seemed ticketed for the hitter-friendly 281-foot sign right at the fair pole but soon began to hook. It landed 8 feet to the left of a grand slam.

“Last fastball for you, old boy,” Alexander growled into his glove.

He threw a curve, and the still picture of that moment shows Lazzeri post-swing, flat footed and facing the pitcher full-on, the bat helpless in his left hand. No video exists of how badly he was fooled by the pitch but that picture says it all.

The Yankees had one chance left. After setting them down 1-2-3 in the eighth, Alexander retired the first two batters of the ninth before pitching very carefully to Ruth. A year later, this would've been a tough call because Gehrig would soon be installed as the Yankees' perennial cleanup hitter. But not yet. For now it was Meusel, eager to redeem himself.

And again, what happened next depends on what you choose to believe. With a 1-1 count, contemporary accounts insist Meusel signaled to Ruth that he should take off on the next pitch, the front end of a hit-and-run. In later years, blame shifted to Ruth simply losing his mind.

This much we know: Ruth took off. Meusel swung through the pitch. O'Farrell gunned it to second, Hornsby caught it, and Ruth was out by — not to bring up a raw memory — at least as much as Austin Wells was in Game 1 in the ALDS. And as an oh-by-the-way? This all happened with Gehrig — 109 RBIs in 1926, his second full season — on deck.

Maybe the worst idea in baseball history, all the way around, no matter whose idea it was.

It was over. It was done. St. Louis had its first-ever championship. Alexander was hailed a hero. Hornsby went home to bury his mother. Ruth? In 1926, nothing could really hurt him. The day after the World Series, on the way to play in an exhibition at the Jersey Shore, he had his driver stop in Essex Fells. He wanted to shake Johnny Sylvester's hand, in person.

Sylvester, well on the road to recovery, never got around to asking about the caught stealing. He must've stayed off Instagram that day.

Mike Ditka, storied NFL coach and Hall of Fame tight end, dies at age 86

By JUSTIN TERRANOVA

Legendary Bears coach Mike Ditka has passed away at 86 years old.

Ditka famously led the Bears to the only Super Bowl in franchise history in 1986, led by the dominant 46 defense.

The cause of death is unknown.

The team has lived on in Chicago and NFL lore — thanks to the cocky and outgoing personalities of the players — with the gruff and cigar-smoking Ditka leading the charge.

The news was initially broken by Jarrett Payton, the son of Bears legend Walter Payton, who starred on those dominant 1980s Bears teams.

“I just got a phone call that Mike Ditka has passed away,” Payton reported on 104.3 The Score’s “Haugh & Payton” in Chicago. “It’s hitting me because I was not expecting this phone call. We do not have the press release, but it should be on the way. But it saddens me to give this information to the city of Chicago. Everyone knows how much Coach means to me and my family and to the city and to the Chicago Bears.”

It is the second re- cent tragedy for the Super Bowl 20 team, with fullback Matt Suhey passing away on Sept. 6.

Payton noted how much Ditka meant to him and his family after his Hall of Famer father died of liver disease in 1999.

"He has been nothing but an amazing person for my entire family but also somebody that always made sure I was OK, that our family was OK and always kept up with us," Payton said as he fought back tears.

"Any time that we needed him, he was always there. This is a lot for me from everything that's happened to Matt [Suhey] to this."

Ditka, a Pennsylvania native, starred as a tight end for the Bears, Cowboys and

Eagles before moving into coaching.

As a rookie in 1961, "Iron Mike" became the first tight end in NFL history with more than 1,000 receiving yards. He won an

NPL Championship with Chicago in 1963 and then was a member of the Super Bowl 6-winning Cowboys team in 1972.

He became the first tight end elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1988.

After he retired in 1972, Ditka joined Tom Landry's Cowboys staff, where he would capture another title as an assistant for the Super Bowl 12 championship team.

Ditka then took over as the Bears head coach for nine games in 1982 with the franchise falling on hard times since George Halas stopped prowling the sidelines.

Ditka turned the franchise around in three seasons, and the Bears went on a 62-24 stretch under Ditka (including playoffs) in five years, winning Super Bowl 20 with a dominant 46-10 win over the Patriots.

"It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Mike Ditka," Ditka's family said in a statement, via Payton on X. "While the world knew Mike as a Hall of Fame football player, legendary coach, and leader of the Chicago Bears' Super Bowl XX championship team, we knew him as the heart of our family. Mike will be missed beyond measure and remembered forever."

Ditka was fired by the Bears after the 1992 season and began a career broadcasting with NBC. He returned as the Saints coach in 1997 but enjoyed far less success in New Orleans.

The Saints went 15-33 over his three seasons, and he infamously traded his entire 1999 draft, plus two high picks in the 2000 draft, to move up and select star run-

PRESSURE POINT: Pass-rushing specialist David Bailey (center) has just two sacks for the Jets so far, despite sky-high expectations for the No. 2 overall draft pick out of Texas Tech. But the entire defensive line has been a disappointment this season, and the rookie insists he's not concerned about his performance thus far. Bill Kostroun

What's the rush?

Lack of big plays doesn't worry Jets' rookie pass rusher

By HOWIE KUSSOY

In April, David Bailey could only imagine one thing better than being taken with the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft. In October, hundreds of other rookies are happy not to have every snap take place under a spotlight.

This is just the beginning. This is how it will be for as long as Bailey wears green and white.

"I'm not really too worried about expectations," Bailey said following Friday's practice. "I'm just more worried about how I can help the team identify my areas of strengths that I can use to help put the team in the best position possible.

"I've been having fun out there, just trying to work to improve each and every week on what I can control, trying to understand the defense a little bit better, understand what my coaches and my teammates want from me."

The rookie has largely spent the first month of his pro career in a shade of gray — neither explosive nor invisible.

Bailey made two underwhelming sacks in his first two games — the result of a pair of quarterback scrambles in his direction — but he hasn't produced one since the first play of the Week 2 loss to the Packers. The 23-year-old has 11 quarterback pressures — making him the co-leader among all rookies — but he is also coming off a quiet game in Chicago in which he had just one pressure.

“It’s definitely different because of the level of competition,” said Bailey, who was the FBS co-leader with 14.5 sacks at Texas Tech last year. “There’s a lot of factors to take into [account], the level of competition, new defense, I’m working with new [defensive] tackles, new [defensive backs], so obviously you’ve gotta take that into account. At the end of the day, it’s just football, so I think that this is what I’ve been doing so I still feel comfortable out there."

Bailey — who has been chipped or double-teamed on roughly one-quarter of his pass rushes, according to defensive line coach Karl Dunbar — hasn't received much help from a front that was projected to be one of the team's strengths, following the signings of Joseph Ossai, Kingsley Enagbare and David Onyemata.

No Jets defensive lineman has recorded a sack in the past two weeks. And in the past three games, the Jets have recorded the third-lowest pressure rate (27.1) in the league. "It comes down to we don't have the chemistry because obviously you acquired new pieces from all over," Bailey said. "We've been working on that in the film room, been working on how we can attack [offensive] lines, been working on it in practice, just working on things you can take advantage of."

Bailey has been asked to drop in coverage far more than he did at Texas Tech, which defensive coordinator Brian Duker cited as freeing safety Andre Cisco to get a sack in Detroit. Bailey also has been better than advertised against the run, ranking third in the league among edge rushers in run-stop win rate, according to ESPN.

But so much more is expected of the No. 2 overall pick.

"He's still learning and growing," head coach Aaron Glenn said this week. "And he's going to be a damn good player in this league."

Hall, Mitchell out again, but veteran joins receiver corps

By HOWIE KUSSOY

Geno Smith's job won't be any easier this weekend.

The Jets' 25th-ranked offense will have to try to help end the team's three-game losing streak without starting running back Breece Hall (quad) and No. 2 wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger) in Sunday's game against the Browns.

Hall will miss his second straight game, while Mitchell — out for a third consec-

JETS NOTES

utive game — remains sidelined longer than initially anticipated after catching his finger in a defender's jersey during practice Sept. 24.

Head coach Aaron Glenn said Mitchell has not undergone any surgical procedures, but refused to clarify the receiver's diagnosis.

"When it comes to a receiver and you talk about a finger, those things vary when it comes to difficulty as far as catching the ball and the pain tolerance," Glenn said Friday. "Actually, he's progressing faster than we thought he would, once we got to the end of knowing exactly what the prognosis was as far as his finger. I like where he's at and hopefully we'll see how that goes onto next week."

Mitchell's absence — in addition to that of first-round pick Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) and Arian Smith (ACL) — leaves Smith with another thin receiving corps, which produced just 100 yards in Sunday's loss in Chicago.

However, the Jets will return tight end Mason Taylor — who missed the past two games with a thumb injury — along with veteran receiver Tim Patrick (groin), who will make his first appearance with the team.

"I'm tired of watching," Patrick said. "I'm ready to earn my stripes as a Jet and go out there and play my brand of football. ... The type of football I play, every team, every coach loves."

Patrick, 32, spent last season with the Jaguars, recording 15 catches for 187 yards.

The Jets' struggling pass rush could get back Kingsley Enagbare (knee) — who is listed as questionable after practicing fully Friday — but their defensive front could be without Will McDonald IV (calf), who was a new addition to the injury report Friday and listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice.

Left guard Dylan Parham (knee) and linebacker Kiko Maiguoa (quad) will be out again, while cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. (concussion) is no longer listed on the injury report after practicing fully Friday.

'READY' TO GO! After being listed on the injury, the Giants are expecting Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo to suit up on Sunday in Washington. Corey Sipkin

Big Blue trio expected to play

By RYAN DUNLEAVY

Malik Nabers, Isaiah Likely and Cam Skattebo all are expected to play Sunday, but only one of the Giants' top offensive weapons is laughing at the idea that his status was ever in jeopardy.

Nabers (knee) missed practice Wednesday because he was more sore than normal but "he'll be ready to play," head coach John Harbaugh declared after Friday's practice.

Skattebo (shoulder) said the red noncontact jersey that he wore Wednesday — an oxymoron given his lower-the-shoulder running style — was more “for safety” and an example of “doing what I’m told.”

“Nothing to worry about,” Skattebo said. “My shoulder’s OK. I literally had a little bit of muscle tightness in my back, and over the last couple of days I’ve worked it out and I feel great.”

In Friday's practice, Likely (knee/groin), Nabers, Skattebo, left tackle Andrew Thomas (groin) and tight end Chris Manhertz (shoulder) were all full participants for the first time this week.

Safety Jason Pinnock (concussion) and DL Chauncey Golston (neck) were ruled out for Sunday's game. Pinnock and S Tyler Nubin have shared one position next to Jevon Holland in the last two games. If Nubin is pulled for any reason, Ar'Darius Washington would be next up.

Harbaugh declined to reveal whether newly acquired J.J. McCarthy or Jake Haener will be the No. 2 quarterback.

GIANTS NOTES

"I think [J.J.] has made tons of progress in the last two weeks," Harbaugh said. "From last week to this week, he's made a lot of progress.

Commanders defensive coordinator Daronte Jones interviewed for the same position with the Giants before it went to Dennard Wilson.

Harbaugh was cagey when asked for his impressions of Jones' unit.

"I don't want to say because it might give something away," Harbaugh said. "We watched a lot of film of their defense."

Harbaugh opened his post-practice news conference by sharing his thoughts on Hall of Famer Mike Ditka, who died early in the day.

"Got to know Coach Ditka a little bit because my brother [Jim] got drafted by him, played for him," Harbaugh. "Coach was just a great guy. Met him a few times since in Chicago with Jim. He always knew what he stood for football-wise, right?"

DL Jihad Ward could make his first appearance of his second Giants' tenure Sunday after Golston's neck injury.

"Haddy can do a lot," outside linebackers

coach Charlie Bullen said. "He's kind of working a little bit of everywhere, in a Chauncey role rushing inside."

Giants turning to Hudson at center after solid 1st start

By RYAN DUNLEAVY

Six weeks ago, Bryan Hudson and Lucas Patrick were locked in a training-camp battle to be the Giants' backup center.

Hudson (Giants) and Patrick (Commanders) are expected to start for opposing teams

Sunday while the player who was tops on the depth chart then — John Michael Schmitz — settles into a new backup role.

Hudson made his first career start last week over Schmitz, who had started the first 44 games when healthy during his career.

"He's always done a great job with us, so we

were not surprised by the way he played," offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said. "We just have to keep that going. We needed that, and there were some really good clips in there that he did in both run and pass."

Schmitz, a 2023 second-round pick, was excused from one practice last week to be at the birth of his child but was active for the game — and yet the Giants stuck with Hudson due to familiarity with the game plan.

"There's a lot of things I want to clean up to make it easier on the other four guys — the communication from my end can be better," Hudson told

The Post. "But I feel like, all-around, it was a good start for me."

“Though last week was his first start, I think he’s a lot more mature than how many opportunities he’s had. He’s only going to get better.”

Hudson was an undrafted rookie when he first joined the Giants in November 2024. He appeared in two games last season but really made his move two months ago by beating out the ailing Patrick.

“JMS is one of my best friends on the team, and as an O-line we're all really close to each other,” Hudson said. “In the role I've been in, I'm there to help him any way I can and be as prepared as I can so if

anything happens — whether it's a shoelace in a game or he has something amazing going on — I'm able to step in and make it seamless as can be."

Unlike Schmitz, Hudson is under team control (exclusive rights free agent) in 2027 so the Giants could return all five starters up front if Hudson keeps the job.

Hudson and quarterback Jameis Winston have a clean exchange after two years working together on the second-team offense.

The Giants have rotated offensive linemen at guard in years past. Center is a different beast.

Hudson did not allow a quarterback "The center has to get in the flow of the game," Hudson said. "Defenses usually

e flavors of the game and do things that the center, at the beginning of the game, has to see and adjust in-game.

Greg Newsome II could star in one of those Mastercard commercials where he delivers the slogan that playing in the right defensive scheme is the “priceless” thing that money can’t buy.

Newsome, 26, left money on the table in free agency when signing with the Giants because he learned the hard way after a midseason trade in 2025 that finding the right fit — in this case, coordinator Dennard Wilson's playbook — is invaluable.

It's been a mutually good investment for both Newsome and the Giants, who have a shutdown cornerback and energy-creator on a one-year, \$8 million contract.

"I had all the confidence in the world coming here, knowing the scheme fits my strong suits," Newsome told The Post. "I knew I would play well this season.

“In free agency, I chose based upon scheme and somewhere I knew I would be successful instead of just following the money. Going somewhere I knew I would be wanted and needed, all that other stuff will come in due time.”

How well is Newsome playing? Well, opposing quarterbacks have a 57.2 rating (completing 14-of-26 passes with an interception) when targeting him.

Sounds like a No. 1 cornerback, which is a role that Newsome never occupied playing four seasons with All-Pro Denzel Ward in Cleveland nor when he fell out of favor as a mismatched fit in Jacksonville.

LESS IS MORE: Greg Newsome II said he had the best opportunity to be a No. 1 cornerback with the Giants, so he took less money and has thrived in his new role. Bill Kostroun

“I don’t want guys who don’t want to be No. 1 corners,” cornerbacks coach Addison Lynch said. “If you are here, you want to be a No. 1 corner. That’s the only guys we’re taking. If you don’t want to be a No. 1 corner, you are playing for somebody else.”

Much was made after last game — and rightfully so — of Deonte Banks' game-ending pick-6 and of rookie Arvell Reese's first career interception.

But the Giants' "other" of three interceptions — Newsome high-pointing a deep ball and securing the catch while falling onto his back — was impressive in its own right.

"I just did what I was trained to do," Newsome said. "People think that's a spectacular play. That's a routine play. If the ball is in the air, I have to go get it."

Newsome asserted himself as the Giants' most consistent cornerback early in training camp, while more eyes were locked on high-paid 2025 free-agent addition Paulson Adebo, former first-round bust Banks (who has resurrected his floundering career as a starter) and rookie second-rounder Colton Hood.

"Man, I believe so wholeheartedly in him and his ability," Wilson said of Newsome. "He has cultivated the room with his energy, with his effort, his attention to detail, his willingness to learn, his willingness to go the extra mile to bring guys in [to] watch extra film together. He's been an outstanding addition to this defense and to this organization."

The matchup that awaits Newsome on Sunday is receiver Terry McLaurin, who has had a trash-talking rivalry with Banks over the last three seasons.

With Stefon Diggs sidelined for the Commanders, Newsome (pride of Northwestern) could take McLaurin (Ohio State) away from Banks in a matchup that goes back to the 2018 Big Ten Championship Game.

"I joke about, he was the only touchdown I gave up in college and I'm still a little bit mad about that," Newsome said. "I've played against him in the league, as well. Great player — physical, fast and electric."

Newsome boldly predicted that the Giants had the “the best cornerback room” in the NFL during the preseason. Fewer eyes are rolling now after back-to-back wins secured on near-goal line interceptions in the final 20 seconds.

“What did I see? Domination,” Newsome said. “The best groups in the league, yes, they have a lot of talent. But we are super close. Everyone wants each other to succeed. I think that’s a key component for a secondary to be great.”

Wilson sees a secondary jelling behind the leadership of Newsome and safety Jevon Holland, both of whom picked what their coordinator called “terrible” music for Thursday’s practice and were doing “all their little corny [dance] moves.”

Winning is fun.

“Greg is doing the things we ask him,” Lynch said. “Our job now is to be consistent and four games doesn’t count as consistent — but it’s a hell of a start.

“We’ve gotten a pleasant surprise in him taking a leadership role. He does a great job with that. That has helped us tremendously being able to develop guys’ confidence, because he was opposite Ward so he saw a lot of balls and he understands the ups and downs, and how the thinking goes.”

KAT GOT THEIR

Knicks halt extension talks with Towns, others before season

The Knicks have paused all contract extension negotiations — including their increasingly spicy back-and-forth with Karl-Anthony Towns.

Four days after Towns expressed frustration with what he clearly felt was an insulting offer, the Knicks released a statement Friday morning that attempted to put the kibosh on both negotiations and distractions.

It was further evidence the sides weren't close to an agreement before the regular-season opener Oct. 20.

"As an organization, our entire focus is on preparing for the upcoming season and delivering another year for our fans to be proud of," a Knicks spokesperson said. "As a result, we will not be negotiating contract extensions until later in the season and will remain solely focused on preparing for the start of the season."

Josh Hart and Miles McBride, in addition to Towns, are eligible for extensions. They can negotiate until June but agreements are often settled before the season to avoid distractions.

This time, the Knicks took the unusual step of publicly announcing they're done talking — for now — as they navigate James Dolan's mandate to stay under the second apron.

As The Post reported, the Knicks offered Towns a deal worth four years and about \$200 million, which is \$77 million less than his max. It would also be a pay cut from his current salary of \$57 million.

KAT said he's willing to take a discount but not as drastic as New York's proposal.

“Simply put: I want to do something to keep the team together and can work with the Knicks and also [a contract that] values me,” Towns said Monday.

"And none of those things are close to happening."

Asked if he expected to be rewarded after helping break the franchise's 53-year title drought, Towns responded, "No s--t, Sherlock. I just won a championship. You'd think it was pretty easy. Unless you guys [the reporters] think I have something else to prove."

Towns did not speak to reporters following Thursday's loss to the Wizards, leaving the locker room before the media was allowed inside.

The 30-year-old holds the leverage of a \$61 million player option for next season. If he struggles,

Towns can pick up the option and play next season on the highest salary of his career. If there's no extension agreement and he shines again this season, Towns can decline the option and seek a lucrative offer in 2027 free agency.

Several teams — including the Bulls, Clippers,

Nets, Pistons, Kings and Warriors — are expected to have enough cap space to offer Towns a max deal if he hits the market in July.

Towns can sign for up to \$265 million over four years as an unrestricted free agent in 2027. His preference, as Towns has reiterated multiple times, is to remain with the Knicks.

Although the Knicks' \$200 million offer to Towns has been portrayed as lowballing, there are legitimate reasons for restraint. The six-time All-Star struggled with his offensive role for much of last season and was rejected by Milwaukee as a trade centerpiece for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Before that, the Timberwolves traded Towns because, among other reasons, they were trying to shed his salary. An extension with the Knicks wouldn't end until Towns was approaching 36 years old.

Hart, meanwhile, holds less leverage with a team option on his contract for next season. The veteran forward said recently there was no progress toward an extension.

"Are things going to get done? There hasn't really been much movement or conversation with that, so I don't think it will get done," Hart said about two weeks ago. "But I would love for it to get done. Once the season starts, I'll probably have that mentality of, 'I don't really wanna deal with this, I want to try and focus on playing the season.'

"I'm sure there will probably be a little extra weight to the jersey. You don't know the certainty of your situation and obviously it af-

Team president's championship-winning track record

THIS WAS the statement released by the Knicks late Friday morning:

"As an organization, our entire focus is on preparing for the upcoming season and delivering another year for our fans to be proud of. As a result, we will not be negotiating contract extensions until later in the season and will remain solely focused on preparing for the start of the season."

This was the reaction of a number of Knicks fans who have my email inbox on whatever the email inbox equivalent of speed-dial is:

"Uh-oh."

This was the line that immediately dropped into my head, as movie lines are wont to do. This is Jason Robards as Ben Bradlee, 1976, "All the President's Men," just after Woodward and Bernstein file a big story, just after telling a NSFW anecdote about a time one of Lyndon Johnson's aides misled him on a story, just after Woodward insists they can all trust Deep Throat.

"I can't do the reporting for my reporters, so I have to trust them," Bradlee says. "And I hate trusting anybody."

That line, in one form or another, embodies the way so many of us view the brain trusts of our sports teams. At this time, it's probably Mets fans, Jets fans and Nets fans who occasionally wonder if whatever trust they still have in the bosses of those teams is misplaced or misguided, with a whole lot of Yankees fans joining the party these days.

The Giants? Well, it's been so long since you could legit trust anyone's football acumen at 1925 Giants Drive, it almost feels uncomfortable to trust John Harbaugh (and whatever particles of Joe Schoen's influence that remain) as completely as they do. But 3-1 is 3-1.

Then there's the Knicks, and let's be per-

fectly blunt about something: There is a segment of Knicks fans who didn't fully buy in to Leon Rose and Worldwide Wes' vision of the team until just before midnight on June 13, when they did so while also squinting away the tears that were burning their eyes. Not every Knicks fan felt that way. They'd lined Rose's string of smart, savvy moves to serve as evidence that he was a GM you really could trust,

But even glory has a shelf life.

And look: What we've seen of the Knicks, they do seem like they're built of the kind of character and the kind of fiber that can withstand the many attempts that will be made across the next eight months to knock the crown off their heads. And right now, that's about cash. It's about getting paid. It's about the second apron. And so that automatically means this begins to fall under the purview of not only Leon Rose and William Wesley, but the man who signs the checks too, James Dolan.

And that statement?

Sure, maybe it's a pushback to Karl-Anthony Towns and his "No s-t, Sherlock" wise-acre comment last Monday, when he provided the update (or lack of same) of his contract extension talks. You can be forgiven if you wince at that, same as maybe you winced when Mitch Robinson was allowed to flee to Boston. And if we have learned anything about Dolan these last 27 years, we know he certainly didn't like this one even a little.

TONGUE

fects home life. There are certain things that you might want to do, but you're like 'I can't because I have no idea what the situation will be in two months, three months, four months, in a year, if I'm gonna be here or not.' You don't know. But hopefully, like I said, I'm a Knick, I'd love to be a Knick and I love the city."

McBride has no contract options and, if there's no extension, he'll definitely become a free agent after the season. It's why people around the league believe McBride will be traded this season.

Assuming Dolan doesn't soften his stance on the second apron, the Knicks are facing a strain on their books beyond the next two seasons.

Jalen Brunson is eligible for an extension next year and is due for a big pay raise after accepting a team-friendly contract during his last negotiation. Brunson's max will be roughly four years, \$257 million — and would begin during the 2028-29 season.

Not long after winning the championship, Dolan said going into the second apron would be “suicidal.” The penalties are both financial and restrictive toward roster building — though it does not prevent teams from re-signing their own players.

If the Knicks go into the second apron by re-signing KAT and Hart — and Brunson later — the main issue will be a hefty bill for Dolan.

should ease concerns over contract drama

Maybe you even summon the 1,000-pound giraffe in every room that a Knicks conversation is conducted and put it bluntly: "Can we blame Dolan for this?"

Or maybe you can allow yourself to remember the remarkable streak of clever maneuvering that brought us to this point, where what we are all fretting about is not how the Knicks will end an endless 53-year championship drought, but rather — yes, this is still real — how to defend a championship.

It was Rose, after all, who identified Jalen Brunson as the foundational keystone to all of this, maybe not quite from the cradle (though he could have) but at a time when his was a lonely voice that believed it. Rose acquired Josh Hart, quintessential wingman (and wing man), then figured how to sign a flexible enough deal that he could also pick up Donte DiVincenzo.

Then it gets fun. There was a lot of angst and hand-wringing when Rose shipped RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley to Toronto, recognizing that he'd rather spend on OG Anunoby than the two popular home-grown players, a decision that will forever be his De-Busschere Move. He was the first one to say (metaphorically) "eff them picks" and not only dealt for Mikal Bridges, but got him to sign a not-quite-max extension.

And — in addition to being right about Landry Shamet, and right about picking Deuce McBride over Quentin Grimes, and even right in being the only eyes that saw what Isaiah Hartenstein could be (almost being too right about that one — he was the one who ignored the universal belief that you couldn't win a title with KAT. He won a title with KAT. More incredibly, KAT became a genuine New York star. He is beloved here.

But that sentiment comes with a caveat: At this point, Knicks fans might understand that there are financial issues brewing underneath the surface, they just don't want to hear them, especially not for a player who's already earned almost \$300 million. And there is a very real sticking point here, whether it's a point made by Dolan, Rose or anyone: Giving KAT a massive extension isn't a no-brainer of a choice. He'll be 32 when the extension kicks in. The NBA is no longer a place when you can routinely authorize a "thanks-for-the-memories" payout. Not in the time of the second apron.

The Knicks' statement, boiled down, amounts to this ask of their fans: Trust us. Fans can't make the deals, or sign the free agents, or hire the coaches, so they have to leave the GMing to their GMs. They have to trust them. And fans hate trusting any GM.

It says here — and is etched on the banner that will be raised to the Garden roof in a week and a half — this one you can.

Headaches that come with NBA's 2nd apron

By GRACE McCARRON

On Friday, the Knicks announced the tabling of all extension talks until after the season begins, putting aside the pressing issue of possible new deals for star

players, including Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart.

One of the biggest obstacles in running back the same team that ended the Knicks' 53-year championship drought over the summer is avoiding the severe penalties that come with exceeding the NBA's salary cap.

The Knicks, Warriors, Suns, Magic, Timberwolves and Thunder are the teams over the first apron, which alone carries some restrictions. Only the Nuggets are over the second apron.

A team with a payroll above the first apron, which in 2026-27 sits at just over \$209 million, can only acquire players via sign-and-trade if they move them below the apron. It also must match salaries within 110 percent of the outgoing salary as compared to the usual 125 percent, and cannot sign any waived players during the regular season if that salary surpasses the midlevel exception.

The second apron sits at around \$221.6 million for this season, and the limitations get stricter, impeding a team's ability to make trades, sign big-name free agents and select the most desirable players in the first round of the draft.

Per the NBA's CBA, should a team hit the second apron:

- It will not be permitted to combine the contracts of multiple outgoing players to match the salary of a player they're trading for.

●It will lose their right to the midlevel exception that allows over-the-cap teams to still sign free agent players.

- Its future first-round draft pick will be frozen and thus cannot be traded, and there will be no cash considerations in their trades. That future frozen first-round selection will also automatically drop to the end of the first round, regardless of season performance, if the second apron is exceeded in two out of four seasons.

To put it simply, surpassing the second apron makes it extremely difficult for a team to build on its success and develop sustainable superteams, which certainly helps the league with parity, but doesn't make players particularly happy as teams are often forced to make difficult decisions on high-value players.

That is exactly what the Knicks are facing right now.

Viewers of "Inside The Circle" (Netflix) don't get enough inside information about the main characters and their relationships to fully engage with the mystery that eventually threatens them and their longtime friendships. OUR CALL: SKIP IT

WHAT TO WATCH

"Who is Martin Mull?" (Netflix) is as much a warm tribute to the man as it is a thoughtful psychological profile of what drives an artist to create art. Instead of presenting a scrubbed and varnished biography, "Who is Martin Mull?" asks a pertinent question, and dutifully answers it. We definitely know and understand Mull better from this excellent bio.

HOTEL HANGOUT

Kumail Nanjiani opens up about how 'The White Lotus' Season 4 cast is bonding

By LAUREN SARNER

The cast of "The White Lotus" Season 4 have been living their best lives while shooting on the French Riviera.

Kumail Nanjiani exclusively told Page Six that because they've been shooting so long on location, all the cast does is hang out, so the bonding has been "incredible."

“Often, we’re all living in the same hotel, so it’s kind of like being in a college dorm,” he explained.

The upcoming season of the HBO show is set in France, filming at the Airelles Château de la Messardière in St. Tropez and the Hôtel Martinez in Cannes, according to Warner Bros Discovery.

"You walk out of your room and everybody there is someone you know," Nanjiani — who is currently promoting his partnership with Purina's cat litter brand, Tidy Cats — told us.

He added, "The cast has gotten very, very, close. We have breakfast together, lunch together, dinner together."

Created by Mike White, each season of the hit anthology series follows a different cast of entitled guests and beleaguered staff at a branch of the fictional resort.

The cast typically stays in the hotels where the show films, which previously included Hawaii, Sicily and Thailand.

HBO hasn't announced a pre-miere date for Season 4 yet, but confirmed that it will be set during the Cannes Film Festival.

In addition to Nanjiani, the cast includes Laura Dern, Chris Messina, Charlie Hall, Steve Coogan,

Max Greenfield, and Rosie Perez.

"I've never worked with a cast this size, [where] I've gotten this close to every single person," Nanjiani said. "All the little groups are fun. The one-on-ones are fun. The big groups go out together, sometimes. That's fun."

He gushed over White as “an incredible director” and said, “It’s really been one of the best professional experiences I’ve ever had.”

Each season of “The White Lotus” is centered around the death of a hotel guest who doesn’t get revealed until the finale.

The "Silicon Valley" star noted that real hotel guests have come up to him and tried to get him to reveal things about the latest season.

"I'm like, 'I can't tell you, but I do know.' I know everything. I know what the big mystery is, but I can't tell anyone," he said.

Nanjiani, who co-wrote his Oscar nominated 2017 movie "The Big Sick" with wife Emily V. Gordon, told us, "I haven't even told my wife!"

Tidy Cats
Kumail Nanjiani, who stars in Season 4 of "The White Lotus," has teamed up with Purina's Tidy Cats (left, above).

He also recalled the day the news was announced he was cast in the new season, saying he was completely overwhelmed by the response from friends and family.

"I got like hundreds of texts. I've never had this many texts over the announcement of a job. It was non-stop...completely flooded," he said.

As for his latest partnership with Purina, Nanjiani — who recently adopted a kitten named Biscuit after the devastating loss of his 17- year-old cat Bagel — often talks about his love of cats in his stand-up routines.

The new YouTube spots for the brand spoof "Law & Order: SVU" with a "Special Litters Unit."

"I thought it was really funny – I really do think cleaning a litter box is really important," he said.

He explained that there's also a "kitty litter cleaning scene" in "Sex Criminals," his other upcoming show with Gordon that "nobody wanted in there."

"But Emily and I were like, 'No, it's gotta be in there!' And I think it's great."

TRENDING NOW

It's the return of Pryce Cahill (Owen Wilson, left)! Apple TV dropped the trailer for "Stick" Season 2, which welcomes Rhea Seehorn to the cast this season. The next installment of the golf comedy premieres on Wednesday, Nov. 4.
