Crystal Palace have parted ways with manager Pierre Sage after 16 matches, following a 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool. Sage won just two of his 10 Premier League games, leaving Palace bottom of the table with seven points and the league’s worst defensive record. The club had appointed him in June on a three-year deal after his successful spell at Lens, but he could not reproduce that form in England. Former Brentford and Tottenham manager Thomas Frank is widely viewed as the leading candidate to replace him, as Palace seek to turn around their season.

CFP, ESPN Agree to 24-Team Playoff Expansion

The College Football Playoff says its expanded media-rights agreement with ESPN is in final review, paving the way for a proposed 24-team playoff starting in 2027, with four Power Four automatic bids, one Group of Six bid and 19 at-large spots. The expansion could bring ESPN an additional $345 million annually, but critics warn that more playoff games could further weaken regular-season viewership and the relevance of bowl games.

Cousins Trade Clears Way for Mendoza’s First Start

After a 38–17 loss to the 49ers in which Kirk Cousins threw three interceptions, analysts including Pete Prisco argue the 4–5 Raiders should give No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza a chance to develop, with their playoff hopes fading. Las Vegas says it remains committed to its deliberate plan for Mendoza and is sticking with Cousins for now, while some caution that the struggling team’s broader offensive problems could make starting a rookie difficult.
