John Harbaugh yesterday during his dinner in East Rutherford with Giants’ brass (via IG/eliamediterraneanrestaurant, h/t @PLeonardNYDN)

.@Chris_Broussard reacts to NYG hiring John Harbaugh for HC: “Everybody’s praising the Giants for hiring the guy that could not, with Lamar Jackson & Derrick Henry, make the playoffs!… That’s your king?! That’s your savior?! I don’t like it… I LOVE IT! I LOVE THIS HIRE!”

With Chris Jericho rumored to return, Powerhouse Hobbs possibly signing, Oba Femi expected to be called up, and Trick Williams and Je’Von Evans already on the main roster, the men’s roster is about to be insanely stacked. The reality is, not everyone is going to make the WrestleMania card. There’s just no way to fit everyone. This is the window for guys to step up and force WWE’s hand by becoming impossible to leave off the show. At the same time, fans should be prepared for the possibility that one of their favorites might miss out this year. That’s the downside of having this much depth.

The Oct 11 Crypto Crash — What Really Happened TL;DR: Roughly $60–90M of $USDe was dumped on Binance, along with $wBETH and $BNSOL, exploiting a pricing flaw that valued collateral using Binance’s own order-book data instead of external oracles. That localized depeg triggered $500M–$1B in forced liquidations, cascaded into $19B+ globally, and earned the attackers about $192M via $1.1B in BTC/ETH shorts opened on Hyperliquid hours earlier, but minutes before Trump tariff announcement. It wasn’t a USDe failure!! It was Binance’s design flaw, timed with macro panic (Trump’s tariffs) for cover. What looked like chaos was actually a coordinated exploitation of Binance’s internal pricing system, amplified by a macro shock and systemic leverage. 1️⃣ The Setup Binance’s Unified Account let traders use assets like USDe, wBETH, and BNSOL as collateral. Instead of oracle or redemption prices, Binance valued these using its own spot market - a major vulnerability. On Oct 6, Binance announced a fix to move to oracle-based pricing, but rollout wasn’t until Oct 14, leaving an 8-day window. 2️⃣ The Exploit During that window, sophisticated actors manipulated Binance’s order books, dumping ~$60–90M of USDe, driving it to $0.65 on Binance only (still ~$1 elsewhere). Because the Unified Account marked collateral to internal prices, this instantly wiped margin value and triggered $500M–$1B in forced liquidations. Then, Trump’s 100% China tariff headline hit, magnifying panic and liquidity stress. 3️⃣ The Profit Engine The same day, fresh wallets on Hyperliquid opened $1.1B in BTC/ETH shorts, funded by $110M USDC from Arbitrum-linked sources. As the Binance cascade unfolded, BTC and ETH cratered, those shorts netted $192M in profit before closing out at the bottom. Timing, precision, and funding paths all suggest coordination. 4️⃣ The Contagion Binance liquidations dumped BTC/ETH/ALTs into thin books. Other exchanges mirrored the collapse through cross-market bots. Market makers hedged across venues were forced to unwind everywhere. Result: $19B+ global liquidations, with many alts down 50–70% intraday, all triggered by <$100M of manipulated collateral. 5️⃣ Who’s at fault? Binance: design flaw + delay in oracle rollout = root cause. Exploiters: executed and timed the manipulation, profited via external shorts. Ethena (USDe): not at fault - protocol stayed 1:1 collateralized, redemptions normal, peg held everywhere else. 6️⃣ Aftermath Binance admitted “platform-related issues,” promised compensation for affected margin/futures/loan users, and rolled out minimum price floors + oracle integration. USDe remained operational, and the incident is now a case study in how exchange-side pricing errors can trigger system-wide liquidations. Bottom line: A ~$90M dump on Binance and a $1.1B leveraged short elsewhere sparked a $19B bloodbath. Not a stablecoin failure, but a masterclass in exploiting flawed collateral valuation during peak macro stress.

ARE YOU KIDDING?!?! JE'VON EVANS IS NOT HUMAN!!!

Nick Khan is confident people who subscribed to Peacock for WWE ‘PLEs’ will follow the product to be subscribers of ESPN to continue watching their ‘PLEs.’ “Will the subs follow the product to whatever that new platform is? I think we've demonstrated to Peacock, our subs will follow, they certainly all followed from the WWE Network, and that expanded that subscribership extensively with Peacock. And there's obviously other product at Peacock to watch, which our fans who subscribe primarily for us were able to sample. Same will be the case with ESPN.” (via ‘The Varsity’)

I wasn’t alive yet for the 2000 NLDS, but I wish I was. If I saw my dad strike out Barry Bonds TWICE in the postseason, once looking and once swinging, both moments probably would have been the greatest things I’d ever see. Also no homers in 39 at bats is insane 🤯 Well done dad

Speechless.

Here we were just a few weeks ago at Wrestlecon. You never know when it’s the last time you’ll be together when it comes to this. Sabu was as irreplaceable in my life as he was in the industry. You all know how important he was to my career, and you know how much he meant to me personally. He’s been a tremendous influence since I was 18 years old , when I met him. Learning to be an adult, while you’re in the crazy environment of this business can go several different ways. I’m proud to have been able to carry on so many of Sheik and Sabu’s values, both in and out of the ring. Sabu helped make me the wrestler I am, the person I am, and I’ll always be proud of that and grateful. ❤️🙏🏼 and because he loved the business more than anyone I know… wRESTle IN PEACE

Look at this guy. By 39, he made $20M from poker, crypto, restaurants. Traveled to 79 countries. Now? At 42, he’s broke. He hides behind fake name on X. This is my story, and what I learned losing everything (so you don’t have to): // A brutally honest THREAD 🧵
