If money talks, Newcastle United will soon be the loudest club in Europe.

Driving the news: The 129-year-old English club has been acquired by a consortium led by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) for $409 million, or roughly 0.09% of the fund's total value.

Eight teams remain in the World Series hunt. With the division series underway, here's one stat about each matchup.

• Rays vs. Red Sox: These are the only teams left whose starters were outside the top seven in regular-season ERA (Rays: 4.08, t-13th; Red Sox: 4.49, 17th).

On Sunday, the NFL will play its 29th regular-season game in London. And for the 29th straight time, it will not feature two winning teams (1-3 Jets vs. 1-3 Falcons).

Think about that: The NFL has been going to London since 2007 — the same year the first iPhone debuted — and it has yet to put two winning teams on the field together.
