Intro for October 9, 2018

Nick Castellanos DFA
Ironically, this happened while the Padres are in Philadelphia.
The Padres need more offense. Nick Castellanos wasn't providing it. So, he was designated for assignment (in Philly of all places). Samad Taylor, who offers quite a bit more versatility, has been selected.https://t.co/Z9KRnCIckD

The Bear season five premieres June 25, all eight episodes will be released at the same time. So that day is the last day, really, for Carm and Sydney and Cousin and Tina and the entire Bear family, no disrespect to the other cast and characters, it’s a lot of them and there are so many Facks.I’ve watched every episode of the show, including the most recent special episode, “Gary”, which revisited one day in the Mikey-Richie timeline that continues to reverberate to the p

There's always plenty of action on the ice across the province, and this past week was no exception. In the pros, the Capitales and the Aigles find themselves in very different situations at the start of the season. The team from the Old Capital, for its part, boasts a record well above .500, while the Aigles are among the worst teams in the league. The Aigles, in fact, parted ways with manager Jonathan Albaladejo at the end of last weekend.
In an attempt to salvage the current season, the Trois

One of my favourite gags on The Office was when Idris Elba became Michael’s boss and the women were hitting on him and all he had to say about it was, “I am aware of the effect I have on women.” Because, obviously.
Now he is Sir Idris Elba, honoured for his service to young people. They really fumbled on casting him as James Bond years ago.View this post on InstagramA post shared by The Royal Family (@theroyalfamily) View this post on InstagramA post shared by Idris Elba (@idri

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding is, allegedly, four weeks from this Friday, on July 3 in New York City. This was reported weeks ago by Page Six because, I guess, it’s that easy to find out details about what should be one of Taylor’s most closely guarded secrets? Every day there’s been guest list speculation – who’s invited, who’s not invited. And now TMZ claims to know of at least two people who have received invitations: Benson Boone and Karlie

Legal troubles are catching up with the NFL this offseason.
An arrest warrant has officially been issued for Brandon Aiyuk, the star wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers. This legal action stems from a misdemeanor charge related to a reckless driving incident that occurred last winter.
The case took a dramatic turn due to overwhelming digital evidence. Authorities based their case on a video from December, which went viral on social media, showing the football player driving his vehicle at

Melissa McCarthy was photographed on the set of Turpentine in Atlanta this week. Craig Zobel’s project is described as an indie thriller but we might also call it a dark comedy-thriller, not just because of Melissa’s reputation but the story automatically lends itself to some humour. It’s about “a deadbeat son who hires friends to rob his own parents to pay off a bookie, with disastrous results”. Connor Storrie is playing the deadbeat son.So, basically, a loser who&

Alejandro Kirk is on his way back.
The Blue Jays catcher, who has been out for two months, will begin playing in the minors today. He'll need about 20 at-bats before he can return to the Blue Jays.
Naturally, upon his return, a decision will have to be made. Who will stay—Brandon Valenzuela or Tyler Heineman?
If we go solely by performance, there's no debate: Valenzuela is better. Heineman's breakout 2025 season is just a distant memory.
Does that mean the rookie will automatically win the

It's a decision that has taken the entire NFL by surprise and left analysts speechless.
The New York Jets have officially announced the release of Pro Bowl kicker Younghoe Koo. What makes the news absolutely staggering is that the precision kicker had signed his new contract with the Big Apple team just five days ago.
This sudden turnaround is already shaping up to be one of the most fleeting and bizarre roster moves of the season. Known for his surgical precision and legendary composure in clut

Brendan Gallagher played his final game in a Montreal Canadiens uniform.
A new chapter will begin once he is traded by Kent Hughes, and we know that will happen in the coming weeks. After all, it's the player's request… who broke down in tears in front of reporters during the team's end-of-season press conference earlier this week.
But the Canadiens' GM has a clear goal in mind for what comes next.
Kent Hughes wants to handle the situation with respect and do things the right way for Gall

As mentioned earlier this week, Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure started screening for critics and other industry last week and the first reactions were big positive. Some have been saying that this is Spielberg’s best film in 20 years. He is one of the most revered names in Hollywood right now, a living legend so people are predisposed to venerate him but the hype does, this time, feel legit. At least right now.Disclosure opens next week, on June 12, and it’s obvious now that it

Patrick Roy was fired by the Islanders in recent weeks.
And what's particularly interesting is that this morning, we learned his name is being mentioned in Toronto for the vacant head coaching position with the Leafs. He's part of the process to become a coach in the Queen City, and obviously, hearing that… it's intriguing.
We all know about the Toronto–Montreal rivalry, after all. And if Roy were to get involved in all of this on the enemy's side…
But Elliotte Friedman added

Dear Gossips,Please, if it’s OK, let’s indulge in a little silliness and chaos – and the good kind, not the harmful kind of chaos that’s happening at CBS News although, actually, what’s going on over there is more terrifying f-ckery than it is silly. I mean the kind of silly that is Masters of the Universe. The movie comes out on Friday, a full review will be posted then.There are some questions about whether or not Masters of the Universe will perform well at the b

To say the least, Jazz Chisholm Jr. loves being in the spotlight and isn't one to mince words.

As of this writing, Bruce Cassidy is out of a job.
The Golden Knights showed him the door on March 29, replacing him with John Tortorella behind the team's bench.
And the coach's situation has been the talk of the town for the past few weeks… since the Golden Knights have prevented their former coach from interviewing elsewhere to secure a new job in the National Hockey League.
But if it were up to him, Cassidy would be willing to leave millions of dollars on the table for an interview, a

If there is one thing that Canadians love in the summer months, it’s music festivals.From coast to coast to coast, folks gather to enjoy all kinds of music in settings that often compete with the artists for the best-in-show award. There is certainly something to be said for listening to a singer while watching the sunset, or staring up at the starry night sky.B.C. is no stranger to both destination music events around the province and, in particular, in the Lower Mainland. While some lon

Last night, the Boston Red Sox lost to the Baltimore Orioles.
What you need to know is that this was the 20th time the Red Sox have dropped a game at home. The 4-2 loss brings their home record to 9-20. No other team in the league has fewer than 10 wins and at least 20 losses at home.
Fenway Park used to be the ultimate home-field advantage.This year, it's the ultimate home-field embarrassment, with the Red Sox posting their worst home record to start a season since 1932.https://t.co/aK60Kyj8f9

Disturbing news regarding Sean Avery.
The former NHL forward, who was an energetic player hated by his opponents, had his Los Angeles home the scene of a shooting on Tuesday.

The Montreal Alouettes continue to prioritize stability as they look ahead to the coming seasons.
The Montreal organization announced on Tuesday that it had granted new contract extensions to three key players on its roster: linebackers Arthur Hamlin and Don Callis, and offensive lineman Des Holmes.
The three athletes have signed deals that will keep them with the Alouettes through the 2027 season, a sign that the team strongly believes in their development and long-term potential.

The Stanley Cup Finals kicked off last night, and no, the Canadiens wouldn't have been up to the task. We saw clearly last week that the Habs couldn't (yet) compete with a seasoned team like the Hurricanes, and last night proved that, no, the Habs wouldn't have been able to hold their own against the Golden Knights over four to seven playoff games.
We're seeing bearded warriors ready to give it their all to win the Stanley Cup, while the Habs are a bit like a teenager here: clean-shaven, a littl

Last year, the Sherbrooke Phoenix of the QMJHL took a chance on drafting Mason St-Louis. If the name rings a bell, it's because his father is the head coach of the Canadiens.
In 2025–2026, however, the young man did not play in Sherbrooke. Instead, he played in Connecticut, where he tallied 41 points in 33 games as a center.
He was playing at the collegiate level.
Now 18 years old, it's still possible that Mason St-Louis will actually spend a year in the Estrie region in 2026-2027—be

The Montreal Alouettes are set to kick off their 2026 season with a major change on defense.
Following Marc-Antoine Dequoy's retirement, all signs point to young Nate Beauchemin taking over as the starting linebacker.
With just a few days to go before the season opener against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, the 23-year-old appears to have convinced the coaching staff that he is ready to take this major step in his career.
A Rapid Rise During Training Camp
At the start of camp, however, Beauchemin was

Last night, Renaud Lavoie (who is back on the road) spoke with John Tortorella for TVA Sports.
The Golden Knights coach, as you know, has a close relationship with Martin St-Louis. And in the interview, he admitted that even though he didn't really watch the Canadiens' playoff run, he stayed in touch with his former player.
He praised St-Louis's mentality (again), but he also made a point of singling out the Habs in general.Mentioning St-Louis, Kent Hughes, and Jeff Gorton, the Golden Knights' h

The Stanley Cup Final kicked off last night in Carolina.
In the end, the Knights won this wild game 5-4.
Here's a recap of the game:

The Los Angeles Rams have officially announced that their new defensive star, Myles Garrett, will wear number 95 with his new team.
This decision, however, marks the end of a brief association between that number and Poona Ford, who had been wearing No. 95 since arriving in Los Angeles last season.

Shortly after the announcement, Ford publicly acknowledged that he would have to give up his number.

Things are heating up in Toronto.
Now that John Chayka and Mats Sundin are on board, the next big step is to find Craig Berube's successor as the team's head coach.
The team can't afford to make a big mistake at this point.
And now, according to Darren Dreger, two names are currently in the club's hiring process this week. The first name is Peter Laviolette. #CoachHunt
The second? Patrick Roy.The Toronto Maple Leafs coaching search is getting more interesting. Sources say Patrick Roy and Peter L

Right now, the Blue Jays have to make do without Dylan Cease in the rotation. And it shows, let’s be honest.
But when will he be back?
The pitcher threw some pitches on Tuesday afternoon and also worked on his changes of direction while running.If his hamstring holds up over the next few days, he could be in position to pitch in Buffalo on Thursday. And if all goes well, he could return to action shortly thereafter.

For the first time this season, Aaron Judge isn't in the Yankees' starting lineup tonight.At first, this news worried fans. Because even though he deserves a rest, not seeing him play isn't a positive development.
And now we've learned that Judge isn't out of the lineup for rest: it's because of an injury.
He's currently day-to-day with a rib injury that can be felt in his right shoulder. The team is holding its breath.
By the way, the Yankees are officially describing Judge's injury as a bone b
