After more than two decades on Tribeca’s tucked-away Staple Street, filmmaker Neil Burger and architect Diana Kellogg are listing their two-building compound for $30 million, the Wall Street Journal reports. The offering combines a circa-1860s, 4,100-square-foot townhouse—exposed brick, timber beams, skybridge views—with a studio and office across the alley. Over years, they customized the spaces, from a former freight-elevator room to flexible family areas, while the quiet street doubled as a playground. Broker Jeremy Stein calls the one-of-a-kind property hard to price. With work pulling them elsewhere, the couple plans to spend more time outside the city.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jaguars wideout Brian Thomas Jr. will miss Sunday’s game against the Texans with an ankle injury, sidelining the team’s leader in catches (30) and yards (420). With Travis Hunter on IR because of a knee injury, Jacksonville is down its top two receivers, and Dyami Brown still hasn’t cleared concussion protocol. The Jaguars traded for Jakobi Meyers on Tuesday; he, Parker Washington and Tim Patrick are set to lead the group if Brown can’t go. Coach Liam Coen said others must win "dirty, grimy" contested plays.

Rico Dowdle is on track to suit up for the Panthers against the Saints on Sunday, but their receiving corps took a hit Friday. Head coach Dave Canales said first-round pick Tetairoa McMillan suffered a hamstring injury and will be listed as questionable; he has 41 catches for 558 yards and four touchdowns this season. Fellow wideout Brycen Tremayne (hip) is also questionable, potentially leaving Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn, and Hunter Renfrow to carry the load. Guard Chandler Zavala (elbow) has been ruled out as the Panthers seek 6-4.

A Wall Street Journal report says Ford is in active talks about scrapping the F-150 Lightning, even as the company notes the electric pickup delivered record Q3 sales and remains the US best seller in its class. Production was suspended weeks ago after a supplier’s New York factory fire caused an aluminum shortage, a hit Ford estimates could cost up to $2 billion. Ford says it’s prioritizing F-150 gas and hybrid models, holding good Lightning inventories, and will restart REVC when ready. GM and Stellantis have also pulled back on EV pickups.

Jayden Daniels avoided ligament damage after dislocating his left elbow against Seattle and won’t need surgery, but he’s out until at least Week 13, with reevaluation during Washington’s Week 12 bye before a Nov. 30 home game against the Broncos. The 3-6 Commanders have dropped four straight and are 7.5-point home underdogs to the Lions, with Marcus Mariota starting amid injuries to Terry McLaurin, Noah Brown and Luke McCaffrey. Daniels, limited to six games this year, left in an arm cast after his arm bent the wrong way; coach Dan Quinn admitted, “I missed it,” keeping him in.

Republicans’ redistricting edge is wobbling as Democrats move to rewrite blue-state constitutions for partisan maps. California voters approved a Democratic gerrymander 64-36, potentially costing the GOP up to five seats, and Virginia Democrats, after a landslide governor’s win and big House gains, plan a similar push. With rumblings in New York and Colorado, Democrats could narrow or erase the GOP’s advantage by 2026, though outcomes hinge on legal limits and the Voting Rights Act. For now, California and Virginia could offset Republican moves, while Kansas Republicans hesitated to proceed.

The Anti-Defamation League launched an unprecedented project to monitor New York City mayor elect Zohran Mamdani’s policies, citing Jewish safety concerns and his statements on Israel. The effort includes a tip line for reporting antisemitism. ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt framed it as accountability, not about Mamdani’s identity, and condemned calls to probe his citizenship. Mamdani, the city’s first Muslim and South Asian leader, said he takes antisemitism seriously but questioned Greenblatt’s credibility. Greenblatt said criticism of Israel can be legitimate yet argued Mamdani applies a double standard.

Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami will be posted Friday, sources told ESPN, opening a 45-day window that begins 8 a.m. ET Saturday and ends 5 p.m. Dec. 22. The 25-year-old left-handed third baseman, who holds the NPB Japanese-player single-season homer record with 56 in 2022 and has 246 career blasts for the Tokyo Yakult Swallows, played 56 games this year due to an oblique injury yet hit 22 with a .273/.379/.663 line. Despite swing-and-miss concerns, executives emerged impressed, and he’s expected to draw a nine-figure deal plus a posting fee of at least $16.9 million.

The Broncos’ pass rush tightened its grip after sacking Raiders quarterback Geno Smith six times Thursday night, pushing Denver to 46 sacks through 10 games. At this pace, they would finish with 78, eclipsing the single-season record of 72 set by the 1984 Bears. No team is close; the Lions are second with 28. Pressure is coming from everywhere, with Nik Bonitto (9.5), Jonathon Cooper (7.5) and Zach Allen (6.0) all near the top, turning opposing quarterbacks’ evenings into a nightmare.

The NFL is mourning Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland, 24, found dead of an apparent suicide after he fled a crash; acquaintances had received a group text saying goodbye, according to recordings archived by Broadcastify. His death has pushed mental health back to the forefront, as the league and players union tout expanded resources, including mandated team clinicians and the Colts’ Kicking The Stigma campaign. Players voiced grief and urged check-ins, while past stories from Dak Prescott, Solomon Thomas and advocate Brian Dawkins echoed. On Monday night, Kneeland had scored after recovering a blocked punt vs. Arizona.
