Boeing reported a $5.3 billion third-quarter loss, largely from a charge tied to delaying the 777-9 to 2027, even as other metrics brightened: revenue topped $23 billion, production of the 737 Max increased, and free cash flow turned positive for the first time since 2023. Shares were little changed. CEO Kelly Ortberg said safety and quality efforts are taking hold, and the FAA restored some sign-off authority on Max and 787 jets in September.

Donald Trump moved to shut down speculation about a 2028 run, telling reporters en route to South Korea that the 22nd Amendment makes another bid off-limits despite his “best polling numbers for any president in many years.” Earlier, he had left the door open but rejected a vice-presidential workaround as “too cute” and “wouldn’t be right.” House Speaker Mike Johnson said he doesn’t see a path to amending the Constitution, noting it can take about a decade. The 22nd bars third terms, while the 12th complicates any VP route, despite theories circulating in Trump’s orbit.

The Lions agreed to a four-year extension with Aidan Hutchinson, his agent Mike McCartney announced Wednesday. Multiple initial reports value it at $180 million with $141 million guaranteed. The 2022 No. 2 pick has surged after a season-ending leg fracture just over a year ago, posting 6.0 sacks, six tackles for loss, 13 quarterback hits, and a league-leading four forced fumbles in seven games, with sacks in five straight. Detroit, under Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell, has also extended Amon‑Ra St. Brown and Penei Sewell. After a Week 8 bye, they host the Vikings on Sunday.

On Greece’s islands, shrinking families are reshaping daily life: in Lemnos, a 4-year-old sits alone in class as birthrates fall to 1.3 and more than 700 schools close nationwide. Limited health services push expectant mothers to travel, often at high cost, while an Athens nonprofit, HOPEgenesis, funds care for women in remote areas. Parents ferry children between islands for school, weather permitting. Locals debate immigration, identity and why young people have fewer children; the government has offered new tax incentives. Some fear villages will vanish, even as others remain optimistic.

Giants running back Cam Skattebo went from Lincoln Financial Field straight to surgery after dislocating his ankle in Sunday’s loss to the Eagles. Ian Rapoport reports he also fractured his fibula and ruptured the deltoid ligament; the team said the procedure went well, and he’s expected to be ready for offseason work. The Giants placed him on injured reserve Tuesday. The fourth-round pick logged 110 carries for 410 yards and five touchdowns before the injury. In his absence, Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary will handle the Giants’ backfield.

Dictionary.com on Wednesday named “67” as its 2025 Word of the Year, describing the annual pick as a linguistic time capsule. The term—pronounced “six-seven,” not “sixty-seven”—spread among kids and teens as brainrot slang that can signal “so-so” or “maybe this, maybe that.” Its lore touches Skrilla’s 2024 song “Doot Doot (6 7),” NBA player LaMelo Ball’s 6-foot-7 height, and a viral “67 Kid.” Director of lexicography Steve Johnson calls it an interjection. The site says “67” appeared six times more often in October. Finalists included agnetic, aura farming, Gen Z stare, overtourism, tariff, and tradwife.

Israeli strikes across Gaza overnight killed at least 100 people and wounded about 250, local health officials said, marking the deadliest day since a cease-fire began three weeks ago. The barrage followed Israeli accusations that Hamas violated the truce by failing to return captives’ bodies and by attacking troops in Rafah, where one Israeli soldier was killed. Defense Minister Israel Katz said dozens of Hamas commanders were slain; the military said the cease-fire resumed at 10 a.m. Hospitals reported severe shortages. At Nasser Hospital, women wept over children’s bodies. Hamas denied the Rafah attack; President Trump backed Israel’s response.

The Broncos will keep cornerback Pat Surtain off injured reserve after he hurt his pectoral in a Week 8 win over the Cowboys, per NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport. He won’t face the Texans this week, but Denver’s upcoming games against the Raiders and Chiefs lead into a Week 12 bye that could buy him more recovery time without additional absences. Surtain started the first eight games this season and has 27 tackles with nine passes defensed.

One night after outmaneuvering Toronto in an 18-inning epic, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts drew heat for yanking Shohei Ohtani in the seventh of Game 4, a 6-2 loss that knotted the World Series 2-2. With Ohtani at 93 pitches and two aboard, Roberts turned to Anthony Banda and then Blake Treinen; both surrendered run-scoring hits as Toronto stretched a 2-1 edge to 6-1. Roberts cited lefty matchups, but fans bristled online. Ohtani allowed six hits and one walk. Los Angeles hands Game 5 to Blake Snell against Blue Jays rookie Trey Yesavage, a rematch of Game 1.

U.S. stocks pointed higher premarket Wednesday as investors eyed corporate earnings and a Federal Reserve decision expected to deliver a 25-basis-point cut amid scant data and a slowing job market. Futures for the S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq rose after all three hit record highs, while Nvidia jumped again, touching $5.05 trillion in value on fresh chip orders, and Caterpillar rallied on a 10% revenue gain. Asian shares mostly advanced on upbeat comments from President Donald Trump and ahead of a planned meeting with China’s Xi; Europe was mixed. Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft and Starbucks report later; oil prices inched up.
