A New Contract for Roger Goodell?

The NFL is about to reach another major milestone in its history.According to several sources close to the team owners, Roger Goodell is expected to sign a new contract extension shortly that would allow him to remain league commissioner beyond the expiration of his current contract, scheduled for March 2027.
Although no official agreement has yet been announced, the consensus appears to be largely in favor of extending his tenure. The owners want to ensure stability at the helm of the NFL at a

As the years go by, it seems more and more that Canada is being caught up by other countries in the race to be the best hockey nation. It's not the young people's fault—they have the opportunity to play dozens and dozens of different sports.
However, where Canada was falling short was in providing the necessary support for young people to play their sport regularly at a reasonable cost.
So here's some good news from the Canadian government: Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced a $1 bil

Jeff Hoffman isn’t having a great season in Toronto. The reliever has bounced back a bit in recent weeks, but overall, he’s still having a tough season.
He's lost his closer role and is now being used more in situations where the pressure is lower.
And because of his contract, many feel the Jays may be stuck with him. Hoffman makes a lot of money ($11 million per year through the end of the 2027 season) for a reliever, and his performance doesn't justify that kind of salary.
But acco

There were some big names in the LSHL tonight. The summer league, which features 3-on-3 hockey, hosted quite a few players from the Canadiens.
Zachary Bolduc, Jake Evans, and Alexandre Carrier… but most notably, Ivan Demidov and Alexander Zharovsky. It's worth noting that all five were playing for the same team (Manmade) tonight.
Of course, we were eager to see if the two young Russians would put on a good show. And in the end, that's exactly what we got.
In a game consisting of three 15-

Two B.C. heroes will be in the spotlight at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).The festival, which runs Sept. 10-20, announced its Gala and Special Presentations program on July 20. Films about Terry Fox and Rick Hansen both made the list.Man in Motion: The Rick Hansen Story from Vancouver director Adrian Buitenhuis, as well as Run Terry Run from Toronto director Sean Menard, are set to make their world premieres at the 51st edition of the festival.The pair of document

It has now been nearly two months since Claude Lemieux passed away. We had seen him at the Bell Centre just three days earlier, when he carried the torch.
It had been a magical moment… and that made the news of his death all the more shocking.
Last week, new details about his death were revealed. We learned that at the time, his family was concerned about his substance use and that he had been kicked out of the house a few hours before he died.
That said, footage from police body cameras

It’s becoming pretty clear that the chances of the Blue Jays being sellers at the trade deadline are greater than ever.
After all, the team is playing really poorly.
The Blue Jays' advantage is that the team isn't forced to shed salary to satisfy shareholder demands.
So the team can be patient.
One of the names that will be mentioned most often is Kevin Gausman. The starting pitcher, who has been excellent for the Blue Jays since 2022, could fetch a hefty return.
That's perfectly normal.

Ivan Demidov is about to begin his second full season in the NHL. Coming off a season in which he scored 19 goals and tallied 62 points, he'll aim to take his game to the next level in 2026–27.
He certainly has the talent to do it… even though he isn't surrounded by any better teammates than he was in 2025–26.
The question now is just how much the kid will be able to improve. And according to Michael Traikos (The Hockey News), that improvement could be quite significant.

How many of Spain’s World Cup matches did Javier Bardem attend? Was it all of them? It felt like all of them to me because … he was at so many! And it’s not like they all happened in the same place. The matches were played in various cities across Canada, the United States, and Mexico and all of Spain’s matches were in the US but six different cities and I’m pretty sure he was at all of the knockout matches. This is commitment, because while for sure he has the mon

All this talk about The Odyssey but let’s not forget that probably the first real Oscar contender to come out this year was Project Hail Mary, starring Ryan Gosling. And he too is in play for another Best Actor Oscar nomination.Ryan’s not thinking about that right now, though. What he’s doing is sleeping better at night now that something that’s been tormenting him for almost a decade has been addressed. We are nearly at the ten year anniversary of the release of La La La

When music becomes disposable it loses its value in the minds of its consumers in ways that most people do not even realize. We’re a culture that’s obsessed with “what’s next” and pushing for the next best thing means musical projects can come and go without the masses even knowing about it. But Steve Lacy’s third studio album Oh Yeah? is showing that there is some real power in making people wait. He’s always been a not-so-mainstream artist, but after t

Over the past few days, it has come to light that the Panthers have suspended their equipment manager. He was at the center of legal troubles, and aside from that, the team decided to suspend him in order to shed light on the events.
That said, it wasn't entirely clear what the man in question, Teddy Richards, was accused of. But in the last few hours, details have been released by the police department handling the case.
And those details… are pretty sordid.
Basically, Richards and his w

The Montreal Alouettes have once again put in a strong performance in the Canadian Football League (CFL).Following their spectacular victory over the Calgary Stampeders, two players from the Montreal team were recognized among the week's best thanks to their offensive performances.
Quarterback Davis Alexander was named the first star of Week 7, while running back Travis Theis took second place in the rankings determined by a committee composed of representatives from the CFL's football operation

Gleb Pugachyov is the Montreal Canadiens' newest gem.
The team moved up in the most recent draft to select him with the 26th overall pick, and when you watch his highlights, it's easy to see why the Canadiens were so impressed with him.
Big forwards who look like a train on the ice and have skill are pretty rare: You'll get to know him, you'll love him:

Jimmy Kimmel is on holiday for the summer so there are celebrity guest hosts filling in for him during the break and this week it’s Colman Domingo. Here is an incomplete list of why Colman is the ultimate guest host.-He’s using this opportunity as a victory lap. Let’s not get it twisted, Colman’s not putting in the work here to benefit Jimmy and his show, he doesn’t owe them anything. This works for him, his career, and for his potential Oscar nomination.

With the standings tighter than ever as the trade deadline approaches, not many teams are expected to become sellers by August 3, which means prices on the market are likely to be astronomical.
And that's giving some Major League Baseball teams pause, including the Cincinnati Reds. In fact, the Reds have made it clear that they're ready to make trades in the coming days, and that could even include one of the franchise's star players.
On that note, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported that Cinc

Anthony Mantha has signed a two-year contract with the New Jersey Devils.
In Montreal, there was talk that he was a player who might have interested the Canadiens. Kent Hughes wanted to add a top-6 winger to his lineup, and Mantha—coming off a strong season—has the skills to fill that role.
But…
But the idea also came with certain risks because Mantha has been injured several times in recent years. He seems to be prone to injuries, and the Habs didn't want to overpay for a pla

The Odyssey just opened, it continues to be the talk of the film industry, with Matt Belloni noting in his latest Puck newsletter that “45% of American moviegoers this weekend saw The Odyssey in Imax or another premium format when the usual share for a film on opening weekend is around 22%”.But another blockbuster is on the horizon: Spider-Man: Brand New Day, also starring Tom Holland and Zendaya, so they were back out there on the promotional circuit, in Mexico last night for a fan

If you’re not familiar with the LSHL, it’s a Montreal summer 3-on-3 hockey league in which several National Hockey League players participate.
And usually, the Canadiens are well represented. 
Tonight, fans in attendance will have the chance to see Alexander Zharovsky and Ivan Demidov in action, as they'll be playing on the same team. Players from the other team had better lace up their skates tight if they don't want to get humiliated by those two Russians… hehe.
 

As we know, the Los Angeles Dodgers have no limits when it comes to digging deep into their pockets. But usually, it's worth it for the California team. Except perhaps in the case of Kyle Tucker—at least for now.
Including the luxury tax penalty, the Dodgers are paying $119.7 million to have Tucker play this season—more than the payrolls of eleven Major League Baseball teams.
But so far, the first 94 games of the outfielder's $240 million contract have been a huge disappointment.

Luke Winkie wrote an article last month for Slate about aged Beach Boy Mike Love performing with, essentially, a new band also called the Beach Boys and doing it at the age of 85. You can, and should, read it here, and let the specter of an octogenarian singing teenaged sun-and-fun songs haunt you as it has haunted me. I bring up this article about Mike Love clinging to the corpse of the Beach Boys because the full trailer for Avengers: Doomsday dropped yesterday and I am having a lot of thought

The investigation into the death of Saskatchewan Roughriders player Adam Dalke is ongoing, and new information has been released by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
Authorities have confirmed that alcohol and cannabis were found inside the SUV driven by the football player at the time of the collision.
The accident, which occurred recently, involved two vehicles and resulted in a tragic outcome. Adam Dalke, 30, and the driver of the other vehicle lost their lives as a result of the cras

It's June 21, and almost all the teams have finished building their rosters for the 2026–27 season.
However, there are still a few unrestricted free agents who are trying—or will try—to convince a general manager to offer them a contract. Or at least a tryout…
Those who don't succeed will have to resign themselves to heading to Europe or simply hanging up their skates.

Let's be honest: there aren't many quality forwards still on the market this morning. No

Dear Gossips,A great movie doesn’t always deliver a great press tour. And a great press tour doesn’t necessarily mean the movie will be great. The Odyssey, however, hit it on both counts. The film, as we have seen, has been embraced by (most) critics and audiences after a high-key press tour with all the Zendaya and Tomdaya and the Hathaway and the fashion and even the debates about the accents and the accuracy.Now, after the movie’s opening weekend, we’re still getting g

The situation with the CH’s goalies is causing quite a stir.
Will Samuel Montembeault start the season with the Habs or elsewhere? Will Jacob Fowler start the season in the NHL or in Laval with the Rocket?
All we know is that, barring an injury, Jakub Dobes will be the No. 1 goaltender.
In fact, the main question on everyone's mind is how closely Fowler's situation is tied to Monty's. Even if the Quebec native isn't traded, will the Habs consider keeping Fowler on the main roster?

During the All-Star break, it was said that the team had to play at an unsustainable pace to have any hope of making the playoffs.
Actually, no: the first step was mainly to string together wins so the front office could consider making trades at the deadline.
And racking up wins didn't necessarily mean winning 14 in a row like the Red Sox are doing right now.
That's pretty crazy.
Red Sox are one away from tying their longest winning streak in franchise history! pic.twitter.com/1emYItXtqT

Canadian Football League (CFL) veteran Shawn Lemon is changing uniforms once again.After a standout stint with the Montreal Alouettes, the defensive lineman will continue his career with the Toronto Argonauts, a team he already knows very well.
According to multiple reports, the 37-year-old defensive lineman has reached an agreement with the Toronto franchise. This return marks a new chapter in Lemon's long career; he previously played for the Argonauts from 2017 to 2019. During that time, he he

We're just over two months away from the start of the NHL regular season… and we're still waiting for official announcements regarding French-language broadcasts of the Canadiens' games.
As a reminder, we've known for a while now that RDS will be broadcasting 45 of the 84 games on the new schedule moving forward. But there's still some uncertainty surrounding the Canadiens' other 39 games.
Of course, if you're a DLC reader, you already have a pretty good idea of what to expect. Our collea

The legal case involving NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs has taken a new turn.
Christopher Griffith, who accuses the player of sexual assault and of orchestrating a violent physical assault, claims to have obtained new evidence as part of the court's discovery process.
According to recently filed court documents, Griffith argues that text messages and phone records submitted during the civil proceedings demonstrate coordination between Diggs's entourage and one of the individuals involved in the
