Headlines and picks gathered automatically from indie and national sources. These five pieces from smaller team writers stood out this week among the indie feeds we follow.
1. MLB · Milwaukee Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers Are World Series Champions
By The Brewers Notebook
Pure joy from a fan who waited 56 years. It walks back through every October heartbreak and credits the young core, from Jackson Chourio to Jacob Misiorowski, for finally delivering the franchise's first title.
2. NFL · Cincinnati Bengals
Classic Burrow: The Bengals’ 35-0 run was a showcase for their QB’s accuracy
By Charlie Goldsmith (Charlie's Chalkboard)
A close look at the second-half run in Baltimore, and why it starts in practice: Zac Taylor and Dan Pitcher explain how Burrow refuses to take clean-pocket reps so game-day throws feel familiar.
3. NHL · Detroit Red Wings
Red Wings Shock Edmonton: A Rookie Goalie, Seider’s Masterclass, and One of Detroit’s Best Wins in Years
By Vadim Palmer (Everything Detroit Red Wings)
Nobody expected much against McDavid and the West-leading Oilers. Then 24-year-old Michal Postava, an undrafted signing out of the Czech Republic, made his NHL debut in goal and Detroit pulled off one of its best wins in years.
4. NBA · Charlotte Hornets
Brandon Miller’s 39-Point Explosion, Stock Up/Down
By Buzz Beat (@buzzbeatpod)
Matt and James break down Miller's 39 against the Wizards, then check the stock on Naz Reid, Sion James, Christian Anderson and Ryan Kalkbrenner.
5. College football · Oregon
Oregon Makes the Pivot It Could No Longer Delay
By Scott Reed, Duck Sports Central (@DuckSports)
After a 21-10 loss at Illinois dropped Oregon to 4-3, Dan Lanning moved on from offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer. Reed weighs whether seven games was enough evidence, and argues waiting wasn't going to change the offense's direction.
