In less than two weeks (Monday, July 13), we'll get to enjoy one of the most entertaining events of the baseball season: the home run derby.
It's also worth noting that this year, MLB is returning to a format without the clock. All the details are here for those interested.
We know that Yordan Alvarez has declined to participate and that Mike Trout, who would like to compete, will likely have to sit this one out due to health concerns.
But we didn't yet know who would be able to participate.

It’s a slow holiday week and PEOPLE has a headline story on polyamory, which got me thinking: has there been a public polyamorous celebrity relationship? I don’t think there’s been a throuple or quad or such configuration.
Ne-Yo has multiple girlfriends and Akon has said he’s poly but only on his side. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett spoke about fluidity a few times and the story has carried on for years, people were very scandalized by it so I understand the reticence for an

The Canadiens weren’t able to pull off the big move everyone was expecting.
It's true that market prices probably aren't helping Kent Hughes right now, but that doesn't change the fact that other Eastern Conference teams have improved significantly since last week.
So what can we expect from the Habs?
First and foremost, it's worth noting that the Habs are still keeping a close eye on the Kirill Marchenko situation.
Right now, Zach Werenski's situation in Columbus is grabbing the spotlight

Last Friday, the Los Angeles Angels fired general manager Perry Minasian in the middle of his sixth season at the helm of the team. Minasian was in the final year of his contract, and with the Angels on track to finish their eleventh consecutive losing season, a change was necessary.
During the 46-year-old's tenure, the Angels posted a record of 392 wins to 500 losses, and never surpassed 77 wins in a single season.
This can be attributed, in part, to three decisions made by Minasian. First, he

Will the Leafs make the playoffs next season, after selecting Gavin McKenna with the first overall pick last Friday in the National Hockey League draft?
Hmm…
One thing's for sure: in Toronto, that's the goal they're aiming for. And to make that happen, John Chayka has a plan in mind.
The Leafs' (new) GM wants to add a player or two to his roster ahead of the upcoming season. He feels his team can compete with the other NHL teams, which is why he wants to improve the roster.
And here's the

The Baltimore Ravens were determined to step up their pressure on opposing quarterbacks during the 2026 offseason.After several weeks of searching, the organization finally settled on Trey Hendrickson. However, this acquisition is already raising several questions due to the injuries that have plagued the veteran in recent years.
Before signing Hendrickson, however, Baltimore seemed on the verge of pulling off one of the biggest trades of the year by acquiring Maxx Crosby. The two teams had reac

At 60 years old, Shania is more confident than ever and sending a message of love and comfort to her younger self. The new single “

The Canadiens submitted a qualifying offer to Kirby Dach yesterday.
It remains to be seen whether the player will accept the offer, but he is expected to do so.
And the reason is simple: he won't get a better offer (one year at $4 million for the season) than this one. And if he wants to show the Canadiens' management that he still has a place in Montreal, this might be his only chance.
That said, we know that Kirby has disappointed in the past and has never truly reached his full potential. And

In 2024, Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu became a surprise holiday hit (this after Eggers steadily built a devoted audience, beginning with 2015’s The VVitch).

The first trailer is here, and as a devotee of Eggers, yes, I will spend one segment of my precious year-end liminal space watching this film.While I

In an emotionally charged game, the Toronto Blue Jays finally snapped a six-game losing streak—all at home, no less—last night (Monday) at Rogers Centre.
But this victory shouldn't overshadow the Blue Jays' glaring shortcomings. To be sure, the Canadian team wasn't outclassed in any of its last six losses. In fact, the Blue Jays didn't lose by more than three runs during this losing streak, which included one extra-inning loss and three one-run losses.
However, several problems withi

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have pulled off a masterstroke without even using a pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.The organization now has high hopes for Jalon Daniels, a quarterback signed as an undrafted free agent, who could quickly carve out a spot on the roster.
With training camp approaching, Daniels is considered one of the most intriguing players to watch. Many observers believe he has what it takes to make the 53-man roster or, at the very least, serve as the third-string quarterback in case

The busiest time of the year in the NFL is now over.
With free agency over, the 2026 draft now complete, and the final trades concluded after June 1, all 32 franchises have virtually finished building their rosters ahead of the start of training camp.
This makes it the perfect time to take stock of the offseason by assigning a grade to each team. However, this evaluation isn't based solely on the players signed or lost. The primary goal is to analyze the quality of the decisions made by team man

Last night in Toronto was incredible.
Of course, what really caught everyone's attention was the fact that Bo Bichette was back in town for the first time since he left.Before the game, his emotional interviews (which are out of character for him) drew particular attention.
And even during the game, he was frequently cheered.

I know it's only June 30 and summer is still young…
But I also know that pretty much all teams in the NHL build their rosters between June 15 and July 4. In short, there are only a few days left to significantly improve the Canadiens' roster.
Because we can all agree that Kent Hughes isn't going to go out and sign a second-line center, a right-handed defenseman to play alongside Lane Hutson or Mike Matheson, and a winger like Matthew Knies in September…
So far, the Canadiens aren't

When Pierre LeBrun speaks, people listen.
So when he says he likes how Mason Marchment fits with the Canadiens, we pay attention to what this top insider has to say. After all, he's well-connected.
The reporter also says, in an article for The Athletic, that several teams will be after him. The Maple Leafs are also ones to watch, and the Blue Jackets haven't given up on the idea.NEW for @TheAthletic: July 1 isn't just for UFAs. It's also the first day players with a year left on their contracts

Shedeur Sanders’ future with the Cleveland Browns continues to be a topic of discussion throughout the NFL.Although the young quarterback is still in the running for a spot on the team, there is widespread speculation that the Cleveland Browns may consider trading him before training camp begins.
The rumors gained momentum following comments by Tony Rizzo, a host at ESPN Cleveland. According to him, several teams have reached out to the Browns to inquire about Sanders' availability on the

Gleb Pugachyov was drafted for his intensity.
It's unclear exactly how much his skill set will allow him to make a huge impact in the National Hockey League once he makes the jump.
But we do know he'll give it his all on the ice.
It quickly became clear that the Canadiens' first-round pick on Friday will make his presence felt when he's on the ice. He won't be afraid of anything, either.
But just how much?
In an interview with Daria Tuboltseva (RG Media), the Canadiens prospect said the club ask

The past few hours have been particularly difficult for Terrion Arnold.Shortly after being released on bail in connection with his legal troubles, the 23-year-old cornerback learned that the Detroit Lions had officially terminated his contract. As if the situation weren't already complicated enough, the NFL also confirmed that it is reviewing his case under its personal conduct policy.
According to reports from Pro Football Talk, the league is continuing its assessment of the events surrounding

On April 1, the Blue Jackets were in position to make the playoffs. They had 88 points and were among the top eight teams in the Eastern Conference standings.
Twelve days later, the team was mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.
A difficult end to the season, marked by a string of losses (and a coach who publicly criticized his players), prevented the team from making the playoffs.
