GENO SMITH OFFICIALLY OUT! SEE THE RAIDERS' SHOCK WEEK 18 STARTER NOW
The Geno Smith era in Vegas hits a breaking point. With Smith ruled out for Week 18, the Raiders turn to Pickett and O’Connell.
The clock’s ticking on the Raiders’ 2025 season, and honestly, this offseason could get weird.
Geno Smith, though? He’s probably dreading it. The guy’s had a brutal year—nobody’s thrown more picks or taken more sacks than him. Just rough.
Then came Week 17 against the Giants. Smith went down early with an ankle sprain, and that pretty much summed up his season. Everyone wondered if he’d suit up for the last game against the Chiefs. Now we know—he’s out. The Raiders made it official on Friday. No shock there; Pete Carroll had already hinted this was coming. Still, Carroll kept it close to the vest about who’s starting instead—Kenny Pickett or Aidan O’Connell.
Pickett started earlier in the year when Smith was hurt, but that game was ugly. O’Connell? He hasn’t even touched the field this season. Seems fair to finally give him a shot. Carroll says both guys should see the field against Kansas City.
So, is this it for Smith in Vegas? Feels like it. Vincent Bonsignore from the Review-Journal basically said if Smith misses this last game, he’s done as a Raider. Remember, Smith came over from Seattle, looking to keep his starting gig alive after his run with Carroll from 2020 to 2023.
Cutting Smith costs the Raiders $18.5 million in dead money, so there’s a slim chance they just keep him around another year. But let’s be real—fans turned on him after he flipped them off postgame, and his play hasn’t helped. At this point, it’s probably best for everyone to move on.
And what about the Raiders’ quarterback room? They really believed in Smith, which is why they waited until the sixth round to draft Cam Miller. The twist: Miller spent the season on the practice squad, but right before the last game, Miami swooped in and grabbed him. He’d probably have stuck around through the offseason, but that’s out the window now. The team’s not thrilled about it.
“Yeah, it’s disappointing to lose him because we put a lot of time in, and he’s put a lot of time in here as well,” quarterbacks coach Greg Olson said Thursday. “I talked to him before he got on the plane. He’s a hard worker, we valued him, and it stings to lose a guy like that late in the season. But good luck to him. We’re happy for him.”
UNREAL: LUKE LITTLER JOINS TAYLOR AND ANDERSON IN THE HISTORY BOOKS AFTER DOMINANT WIN
Luke Littler crushes Ryan, Searle 6-1 to reach his third consecutive world final. He faces Gian van Veen tonight at Ally Pally!
Luke Littler barely broke a sweat as he crushed Ryan Searle 6-1, locking in a World Darts Championship final against Gian van Veen.
At just 18, Littler played out of his skin—averaged 105, fired in 10 180s, and nailed a 110 checkout. That’s three finals in a row for him now, putting him in the company of legends like Dennis Priestley, Phil Taylor, and Gary Anderson.
Van Veen’s win was wild, too. He went toe-to-toe with his idol, Gary Anderson, and came out on top 6-3. Now he’s set for the big showdown with Littler on Saturday.
Searle tried to put up a fight, but Littler just wouldn’t let up. He nailed 59% of his doubles, kept finishing on tops, and closed out the match in style. The only thing missing? That elusive nine-darter. It’s been bugging him. He got close—twice in the sixth set, actually—but Searle stole the leg with a jaw-dropping 170 checkout.
Still, it’s been a career-best run for Searle. He jumps up to number eight in the world, and honestly, he’s earned it. He’s done all this while dealing with autosomal dominant optic atrophy, an eye condition that sometimes leaves him blind to where his darts even land. Didn’t stop him from reaching the semis, dropping just two sets along the way.
But Littler was a different beast. He admitted he was frustrated at the start, going 1-0 down, but then he just switched on. “I went 1-0 down and was not the happiest. I thought I didn't play that well. Everyone knows I just want to go 1-0 up and get into that lead.” He made it look easy after that. He also gave Searle his due: “Big shout out to Ryan. He’s done amazing this tournament. He can be proud.”
Van Veen’s win, by the way, guarantees him the world number three spot, no matter what happens in the final. If he wins the whole thing, he leapfrogs Luke Humphries for the number two ranking. Big stakes, big night ahead.
SKY SPORTS’ EMMA PATON BREAKS DOWN LUKE LITTLER’S TRUE CHARACTER BEFORE SEMI-FINAL
Sky Sports presenter Emma Paton lifts the lid on world No. 1 Luke Littler’s real personality away from the PDC World Darts stage.
Sky Sports presenter Emma Paton has given a real look at what world number one Luke Littler is like when the cameras aren’t on him. This year at the PDC World Darts Championship, Littler’s been electric—hardly dropping a set on his way to a big semi-final showdown with ‘Heavy Metal’ Ryan Searle.
But things haven’t all gone smoothly. Littler, just 18, lost his cool after beating former world champ Rob Cross in the last 16. The crowd at Ally Pally threw their support behind Cross, even booing Littler as he stepped up for his shots. You could tell it got to him.
After the match, Littler faced the crowd and let them have it: “I’m not bothered, I’m not bothered, really, I’m not bothered! Can I just say one thing? You guys pay for tickets and pay for my prize money, so thank you for the money, and thank you for booing me!”
Later, backstage, Littler admitted he’d “lost his head” for a minute. But Emma Paton says this kind of outburst isn’t typical for him. She’s seen a different side—calm, down-to-earth, and nothing like the fiery showman who lights up the stage.
Talking to the Mirror before Littler turned 18, Paton explained, “It’s like chatting with any 17-year-old. He’s really relaxed. Off-stage, he’s just a chilled-out guy. On stage, though, he flips a switch—he’s a real entertainer.”
She thinks he’s handled the sudden fame impressively. “He was thrown into the spotlight, and he’s managed it so well. That says a lot about the kind of kid he is and the good people he’s got around him.”
Paton also pointed out how Littler deals with tough times. “It’s easy to talk when you’re winning, but you’ve got to face the questions when things aren’t going your way, too,” she said.
Before his Grand Slam wins in 2024 and 2025, Littler had a string of early TV exits. People started doubting him, wondering if he’d lost his edge. Through it all, he kept his composure. “Even then, he spoke really well. I think he’s a bit more comfortable in his own skin now—probably just comes with experience. But honestly, he’s always been great to talk to.”
