A Turn of Events for Caleb Williams

A huge sigh of relief has swept through the Chicago Bears fanbase.The latest medical tests on young quarterback Caleb Williams have come back reassuring, ruling out the possibility of a long-term injury. This excellent news was first reported by insider Tom Pelissero.
Last Sunday, however, the atmosphere at Soldier Field was quite different. During a tough, heartbreaking 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, the tide turned dramatically for the Illinois franchise. After leaving the field in a medic

Sarah Pidgeon was in the gossip a few days ago when Joe Alwyn was seen hanging out in NYC with Mary Beth Barone. They went to a few bars, no actual evidence that it was more than friendly, except at one point when she was seen wearing his ballcap which is kinda flirty, IMO, because I’m not putting anyone’s hat on my head unless I know them like that or I’m trying to know them like that. Maybe it’s just me and my own … issues… but, like, hats smell scalpy. I

Renaud Lavoie is one of the best-connected sports journalists in Quebec.
He has a strong reputation… because he breaks stories and because he's credible.
But his journey hasn't always been easy. He talked about it on the podcast Les Meneurs, hosted by Jeff Drouin and Keven Mawn, among others.
Basically, Renaud mentioned that he was bullied in the Canadiens' locker room when he started his career as a journalist. He spoke out against the bullying that took place among members of the media

Bad news in the Bronx.
The Yankees have announced that they do not expect Aaron Judge to be available for the first playoff games, which begin in a week.
The Yankees are expected to host the Boston Red Sox for a best-of-three series next week.
Aaron Boone isn't completely ruling out a return at the start of the playoffs, but let's just say we'd be surprised if that happened.
Aaron Boone said Aaron Judge has a “moderate-grade” strain and he doesn't expect him to be available for the W

Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett are promoting Verity, which comes out in early October. Author Colleen Hoover has been promoting it quite enthusiastically on her feed but she hasn’t really been part of any official promo like she was for It Ends With Us. This could be my recency bias, but it seems like they don’t want her attached to the film. The trailer uses the phrase “based on the best-selling novel” and doesn’t mention her name.
Whatever you th

The addition of Derek Lalonde to the Canadiens' coaching staff this summer may have gone somewhat unnoticed.
We were expecting a big move from Kent Hughes and wanted to see the Habs' GM land a big-name player, but… it didn't happen.
That said, the move that brings Lalonde to Montreal is significant in its own right. 
It's important because, as we've said before, it will give Martin St-Louis some breathing room. Lalonde has coaching experience, and we know he's something of a defensiv

Furthering the complete chokehold that Madonna has had on the gay club-scene all summer long, we have the latest release from Troye Sivan. “Party” heavily samples “Music” by Madonna, so much so that the entire song is basically built around the sample. It brings an instant recognition to the song, one that is sure to be embraced on queer dance floors globally. This is the second single from Troye’s upcoming album She’s The Best which is already shaping up to b

The Boston Red Sox fired their manager, Alex Cora, at the end of April after a difficult start to the season, as evidenced by their 12-17 record at that point. Chad Tracy, who had been managing the Worcester Red Sox at the AAA level, was then named interim manager and helped turn things around in Boston.
The Red Sox went on to post a 74-55 record under Tracy and clinched a playoff spot in a highly unexpected turnaround.
And now, on the eve of the postseason, Tracy will have some job security reg

The Columbus Blue Jackets’ payroll is about to change.
The team has $11.7 million in cap space, but Adam Fantilli is likely asking for more than that. And when he signs, the team will need to make sure it has enough cap space to accommodate him.
And even if a signing doesn't seem imminent, Don Waddell needs to keep all of this in mind.
It's clear that, until Fantilli signs, the Blue Jackets won't be able to trade Kirill Marchenko. After all, all signs point to salary coming Columbus's way

It’s been a couple of weeks since Jennifer Lawrence decided on a random Tuesday during back-to-school week to join Instagram after saying for years that she would never – at least not publicly. It was the most JLaw way to launch JLaw on IG: sarcastic but not mean-spirited, over it but funny. And, naturally, she hasn’t posted since. I don’t think anyone is out here thinking that JLaw finally decided to be on out on these social media streets just to indulge her inner influ

Yesterday's game highlighted a reality within the Habs' camp: the role of young players on the Canadiens.
Whether it's Florian Xhekaj or David Reinbacher, we're seeing young players pushing the veterans from behind right now. And if they deserve their spots, the team needs to adapt accordingly.
My colleague Maxime Truman was talking about this this morning: meritocracy is a big topic right now.
Will the Canadiens make room for David Reinbacher? What will they do when Kaiden Guhle returns and it

After months of lawsuits and posturing in the media, it is all but over, and the Paramount/Skydance-Warner Bros. Discovery merger will go through. Yesterday, following a weekend of talks, and pressure from California governor Gavin Newsom, the multi-state anti-trust lawsuit against Paramount Skydance was settled, as was the WGA’s separate anti-trust lawsuit. With all legal matters now settled, the merger can—and will—close.For a moment, it really felt like the anti-trust lawsui

This summer, the Red Sox traded Marcelo Mayer to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for left-handed reliever Erik Miller and minor league outfielder Carlos Gutierrez.
At the time, this came as a bit of a surprise to the baseball world, and now we're learning a little more about the 23-year-old's departure, courtesy of Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Slusser reported that Mayer and his family had informed Red Sox management that they would be “comfortable” with a trade

Training camp is (very short) this year. The players have only about ten days to prove to management that they deserve to start the season in Montreal.“Yeah, but Max, there are too many one-way contracts and too many players who have to go through waivers if they're cut. The odds were stacked against them even before training camp started.”That's where I don't buy into your “nonsense.” Martin St-Louis will be under more pressure to win than before—he himself said he

Matthew Stafford continues to make his mark on NFL history.During a resounding 28-6 victory by the Los Angeles Rams over the New York Giants, the star quarterback reached a major milestone. With a stellar performance—22 completions out of 31 attempts, 327 yards, and four touchdowns—he officially surpassed Philip Rivers to claim sixth place on the NFL's all-time touchdown pass list.
This stellar performance quickly erased the season-opening slip-up against the 49ers. Stafford now has

Dear Gossips,Oscar speculation about The Odyssey began the moment it opened in theatres, if not before. But the film’s box office, which has now exceeded $1.7 billion, an astonishing number for an R-rated movie, has made it Universal’s highest grossing film ever, and is definitely a factor where Oscar contention is concerned.For the last couple months, however, one of the Oscar questions related to The Odyssey was about strategy, specifically in which category Anne Hathaway would cam

It's a good thing David Reinbacher doesn't play for Rod Brind'Amour.
Why do I say that? Because the Carolina Hurricanes' coach doesn't believe preseason games matter. He'd rather see 86-game seasons so he could eliminate the ones that don't count.
In his view, preseason games have little impact on the final composition of teams.Canes head coach Rod Brind'Amour is in favor of completely abolishing NHL preseason games so the regular season can get going soonerRod mentioned that exhibition games ha

This is a real blow to the Indianapolis Colts’ offense.
Star wide receiver Alec Pierce will have to sit out for an extended period after suffering a relapse of his left heel injury. This bad news came on the heels of the team's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. To make up for this major loss, the franchise wasted no time making moves behind the scenes, signing veteran Darius Slayton.
For now, the preferred course of action is conservative rehabilitation to avoid another surgery. However, the

If you still believe the Blue Jays have a chance to make the playoffs, your optimism is admirable.
Last night, the team had a golden opportunity to stay in the playoff race. But for the fifth time in seven games, they lost.
Last night, it happened in a 4-3 loss to the Orioles.
Trey Yesavage, returning from injury, pitched only 40 pitches, but that's not exactly a surprise. He gave up one run and struck out three batters over two innings.
The Blue Jays not only lost the game and their hopes of ma

Did you enjoy last night's game in Trois-Rivières?
The Canadiens won 3-2 in overtime against the Sens. And several key Canadiens players stepped up during the game.
For example? Cole Caufield and Lane Hutson, of course.We just can't get enough of that 48-13 connection

CeeDee Lamb had just turned in one of his best performances of the early season with the Dallas Cowboys when another task awaited him in the stadium hallways.
After Sunday's 37-20 victory over the Washington Commanders, the star wide receiver was reportedly summoned by the NFL for a drug test.
The information was reported by Patrik Walker, a reporter for DallasCowboys.com. In a video posted after the game, Lamb could be seen heading toward the locker room. The wide receiver reportedly mentioned

New York Giants fans had a real scare Monday night when Jaxson Dart had to leave the game against the Los Angeles Rams after suffering a knee injury.
The quarterback was hit during the Giants' first offensive possession while attempting to complete a pass on third down. He found himself sandwiched between two Rams defenders, Byron Young and Josaiah Stewart, and his left knee was subjected to a particularly jarring movement.
After the hit, Jaxson Dart remained on the ground for a few moments, clu

After two wins against the Leafs on Saturday, the Habs were back in action tonight in Trois-Rivières.
They faced the Senators and tried to remain undefeated in preseason play.

Lane Hutson is having a great training camp. Are you surprised?
It's a bit more surprising in David Reinbacher's case, but he's set to start the season in Montreal. I'd be very surprised if he started in Laval, anyway. Kaiden Guhle's injury has opened the door for him.

Generally speaking, across all sports, teams prefer to start the playoffs with some momentum built up at the end of the regular season.
The playoffs begin next week in baseball, and if there's one team that's really on a roll right now, it's the San Diego Padres. Quietly, the West Coast club has just won thirteen of its last fourteen games. The Padres are led by Fernando Tatis Jr., who is playing inspired and inspiring baseball.
The thing about the Padres is that their current standing in the st

Michigan has quite the team this season. This team's goal for the season: to win the Frozen Four—nothing less.
In addition to Michael Hage, of course, Landon DuPoint, J.P. Hurlbert, and Jayden Perron, among others, will make Michigan one of the powerhouses of the NCAA.
In addition to winning major titles, the university's goal is, of course, to develop Hage. In an exclusive interview with RG Media, the team's head coach, Brandon Naurato, told Marco D'Amico that he's preparing Hage to be an

An Update on Dylan Cease
He has inflammation in his shoulder, but he shouldn't need surgery.

Today, the Canadiens brought a strong lineup with them to Trois-Rivières. Most of the players who will take the ice have already secured a spot on the roster for next season.
There are still a few players who will be competing for a spot, though: Xhekaj, David Reinbacher, and Samuel Montembeault, who played very well in half a game in Toronto.
According to Tony Marinaro, this year we'll see the Monty from two years ago. He still believes in the Quebec native.We'd all missed @TonyMarinarop

The NFL is preparing to host its first game in Rio de Janeiro, but the condition of the field at the legendary Maracanã Stadium has recently raised concerns.
Despite criticism from some soccer players, the league now says it has no concerns about the field that will host the Dallas Cowboys and the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
The field has been the subject of much discussion in recent days. Flamengo goalkeeper Agustín Rossi, in particular, described a surface with several bumps and

Chris Kreider didn’t steal Juraj Slafkovsky’s spot on the Canadiens’ top line.
Because, in reality… the Habs had planned to move Slaf down to the second line. The problem?
Before acquiring Kreider, Martin St-Louis didn't necessarily have the luxury of keeping the tall Slovak alongside Ivan Demidov.
The goal, in fact, is to allow Slaf to control the puck more—something he excels at on the ice. Playing with Suzuki and Caufield, his role is different: he's expected to
