John Harbaugh: Giants Did Pull Offer for Jonathan Taylor But 'Things Do Change'

The Giants pulled a recent trade offer for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, according to coach John Harbaugh, who added that doesn't mean a deal is completely off the table. Harbaugh was asked about that offer after the Giants' win over the Eagles later Sunday. "I'm not saying that report's not true. Those conversations are taking place," he said following the 19-11 victory. "If something happens for any player, can't talk about any [specific] player because they're with other teams right now, but we're not ruling anything out.". Taylor's odds of being traded before the trade deadline were set at -200 with the Giants the +275 favorite to land him followed by the Browns and Vikings at 5-1 odds.  Jonathan Taylor next team odds remain up for now.

Sweepstakes Casinos

RainBet Sweepstakes Casino Running Worst Odds on Same Slots?

BREAKING: @rainbetcom is running worse odds for American players on the exact same slots. Rainbet launched a US sweepstakes site, @RainbetUSA, and @darcithefreak went through its game pages next to the .com. 32 Hacksaw slots are listed at around 92% RTP in the US against 96% on .com, which doubles the house edge from 4% to 8%. 29 BGaming titles are lower on the US site as well, the worst being Luck & Magic Scratch, cut from 97% to 90%. 174 other Hacksaw games show the same RTP on both sites, and the house games (dice, limbo, mines) run the same code on both. So Rainbet picked which slots to cut, and out of every game checked, none pay more in the US. The lower RTPs only show up deep in each game’s info page, and the lobby has no RTP filter, so US players are paying double the house edge on slots they assume are identical. Will Rainbet explain why Americans get the worse versions?

Prediction Markets

Victorious Democrats Vow to Reign in Prediction Markets 

Democrats’ victories in the 2026 midterm elections could bring increased federal scrutiny of prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket. Lawmakers are raising concerns about insider trading, market manipulation and contracts tied to elections, sports and sensitive government events. Sen. Jeff Merkley is among those pushing for tougher restrictions. Congressional hearings and investigations could examine whether the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is providing adequate oversight. The industry now faces the possibility of stricter regulations despite its rapid expansion under the Trump administration.

Five Key Takeaways

• Kalshi and Polymarket face greater scrutiny: Their accurate election forecasts have not shielded them from concerns about regulation.
• Democrats are preparing congressional oversight: Hearings and investigations could examine the industry's practices and federal supervision.
• Sen. Jeff Merkley wants stronger restrictions: His proposals target controversial event contracts and trading by public officials.
• Sports and political contracts could face new challenges: Lawmakers are questioning whether certain markets should be permitted.
• The CFTC could face additional pressure: Congressional scrutiny may focus on whether federal regulators are adequately preventing manipulation and protecting consumers.
