It looks like Vancouver’s Ryan Reynolds will be donning the top-grossing Deadpool suit once again.On July 19 at Fanatics Fest 2026 in New York, Reynolds , taking part in The Art of Deadpool panel, confirmed that the Merc with a Mouth will be coming back to movie screens.“There’s a few really deep cuts I think are missing from the movies. I think there’s a few deep cuts from some of the comics … There’s stuff upcoming. There eventually will be another Deadpoo

On Saturday afternoon, the Blackhawks announced that they had reached an agreement with Connor Bedard, who was still without a contract for the upcoming season.
And Chicago's top prospect broke the bank: he signed a five-year contract… worth $15 million per year.
That said, while the amount made quite an impression, the five-year term was also noteworthy. Just like Leo Carlsson, Bedard signed a deal that bought out only one year of full free agency… and that would lead him to full

Will the Tigers trade Tarik Skubal before the deadline? That's the question on everyone's mind in Major League Baseball right now.
The team, which has a 46-53 record heading into today's game, isn't exactly having the kind of season that puts them in playoff contention. That said, the American League isn't exactly packed with strong teams, which gives the Tigers a reason to stay hopeful.
Will they give up on that hope by August 3? Good question.
Obviously, there are teams hoping that will be the

It has already been nearly two years since Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau lost their lives. The two brothers, who were supposed to attend their sister's wedding the next day, were fatally struck by a truck while riding their bikes.
The circumstances, just like the news itself, were tragic.
That said, since then, the trial of the defendant in the case, Sean Higgins, has been slow to get underway. His lawyers attempted to have the proceedings dismissed by arguing that Higgins was below the legal bloo

Shane Wright could very well leave Seattle by the start of next season. The young center and the Kraken both seem open to parting ways, and we know he's available.
The price tag, at the moment, would be quite high. But that could always change.
Earlier this summer, it was reported that the Canucks were looking into the matter. Vancouver is reportedly Wright's preferred destination, but the Canucks aren't willing to offer Zeev Buium or Tom Willander to the Kraken in exchange.
But today, while ans

The trade deadline is fast approaching. It's a safe bet that, at the start of the season, the New York Mets saw themselves as buyers come August 3. However, the opposite will likely happen.
The team's front office is doing its homework and listening to offers from their rivals. In their position, that's the right thing to do.
Speaking of opposing teams, we're hearing here and there from them that a trade involving Francisco Lindor is more likely to happen this winter than within the next 14 days

The Canadiens didn’t sign any talented players this summer.
Does that mean the Montreal team will miss the playoffs and finish next season at the bottom of the National Hockey League standings? No.
Because, in reality, the Habs have a solid core that can deliver concrete (and positive) results.
That's what Marco D'Amico tried to remind fans of in a recent episode of the Starr & D'Amico Show. D'Amico believes the Canadiens will be a top-10 team in the National Hockey League next season

In the days leading up to the World Cup 2026 final, amid all of the controversies etc, one of the loveliest storylines was about That Photo. The one from almost 19 years ago where a baby Lamine Yamal, with his mother Sheila, was being bathed by a young Lionel Messi for a UNICEF photoshoot. And yesterday they played in the final against each other, a wild and wonderful twist of fate.
It’s probably UNICEF’s most popular IG post ever.View this post on InstagramA post shared by UNICEF (@

Argentina and Spain faced off in the World Cup final yesterday afternoon.
And for the occasion, Cole Caufield was there with some NHL players to watch the game.
That said, there's a photo of “Tit-Cole” making the rounds on social media right now. And we have to talk about it.
Basically, in the photo in question, you can see Caufield (shirtless) alongside George Kittle, Filip Forsberg, Trevor Zegras… and Dylan Larkin.

Connor Bedard has signed his new contract.
The five-year deal will pay him an annual salary of $15 million per season. That's actually a pretty good amount for a young man who celebrated his 21st birthday just a few days ago (on July 17).
Today, Bedard spoke with the media to discuss his contract. And let's just say he took the opportunity to send a message to… Patrick Kane.
Basically, Bedsy addressed the rumors suggesting Kane will end his career in Chicago, where it all began for the Am

Right now, the Blue Jays have 13 pitchers in the majors.
Dylan Cease, Kevin Gausman, Trey Yesavage, Shane Bieber, Patrick Corbin, Spencer Miles, Louis Varland, Jeff Hoffman, Tyler Rogers, Braydon Fisher, Mason Fluharty, Brendon Little, and Lazaro Estrada are the pitchers in question.
Which of them will still be with the Blue Jays after the trade deadline? That's the question.
If any of these players get injured, are traded, or are sent down to Triple-A, what are the team's options?

Two of the biggest celebrity power couples were at the World Cup final yesterday. We should always start with Beyoncé, who actually allowed herself to be photographed while arriving with Jay-Z. We’ll come back to her outfit in a minute. They’ve been in New York for a while now as Jay’s been celebrating the anniversaries of Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint with his three-show residency at Yankee Stadium last weekend.I wonder too if Jay was at the World Cup final to do m

Lane Hutson is a hard worker.
He's always the first one out on the ice for practice, and he's often one of the last to leave, too. We've seen that ever since he arrived in Montreal.
But there's another young player on the Canadiens who can keep up with him at that level: Ivan Demidov. The two of them push each other to become better hockey players, and in a way, it's great to see because it's encouraging for the years ahead.It's July 1st. It's 7:54 a.m. Lane Hutson and Ivan Demidov are on the ic

The FIFA World Cup final brought out an award show/Met Gala list of celebrities, but not Cardi B, although she was still getting some football action because she was seen in Venice with Maduka Okoye … again!Remember, Cardi and Maduka were the gossip and the drama at Paris Fashion Week earlier this month when they were seated next to each other at one of the shows and then seen flirting on a terrace where the vibes were definitely vibing – and still vibing.Because they just turned up

At the start of this season, Jazz Chisholm Jr. was proclaiming loud and clear to anyone who would listen that he was capable of hitting 50 home runs and stealing 50 bases, which would earn him the American League MVP title ahead of his teammate and captain, Aaron Judge.
However, that's not what has happened so far in 2026—far from it. In fact, the New York Yankees' second baseman currently has a low batting average of .224 with 14 home runs, 38 RBIs, and 26 stolen bases in the first 94 gam

The NHL is considering expansion. We know that.
And of course, a new team means an expansion draft. It's obviously not going to happen overnight, but it's still something to keep in mind.
When the NHL does expand, Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton will need to be ready.
Marc Bergevin handled it well when the Golden Knights and the Kraken joined the NHL, since Alexei Emelin and Cale Fleury were the only players who left. And there were no disastrous trades to hand a star player to the Vegas club&hellip

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

Many of the football purists hated the existence of the first ever FIFA World Cup final halftime show and the performance itself didn’t change their mind. On the other side of that conversation, there are people who watched the event just for halftime. And still others who argue that while a halftime show during a football match isn’t tradition, given that the World Cup final was being played in America, where halftime shows are a tradition, the spectacle made sense. Me personally? I

The Canadiens have made nine trades since the start of the offseason.
The problem is that none of those nine trades has provided any short-term relief for Martin St-Louis.
Brendan Gallagher—at 50% of his salary—was traded for practically nothing…
Joshua Roy was sent to Utah in exchange for a defenseman who will start the season with the Rocket…
Luke Tuch headed to Columbus, while Hunter McKown joined the Montreal organization…

Carolina! Happy Birthday from Paula who tells me your “latest crush” is Josh O’Connor… girl, same. You’ve just given me an excuse to post some more photos of him and his fits from the Disclosure Day press tour because I wasn’t able to get it while it was happening. Josh was already a menace before he started working with Jason Bolden but now that Jason is styling him, it’s a full-blown crisis. Look at this. But also, STOP IT.It’s the mischievous s

Former NFL star Le’Veon Bell is back in the news, this time for legal reasons.The 34-year-old former running back was arrested in Ohio after failing to make child support payments, according to several U.S. media outlets.
According to reports, Bell owes more than $50,000 in back payments. His arrest came shortly after an autograph signing event he attended in his home state. He remains in custody at a Stark County facility pending further proceedings.

As of June 18, the Boston Red Sox had a 5.6% chance of making the playoffs. Then, heading into their June 25 game, the Red Sox had a record of 32 wins and 46 losses
At that point, they were one of only 473 teams in Major League Baseball history with a record at least that poor after 78 games; none of those nearly 500 teams had ever made it to the postseason.
However, heading into yesterday's (Sunday's) game, the Red Sox's chances of making the playoffs had risen to 66.9% thanks to a thirteen-gam

The situation with the Canadiens’ goalies continues to be the talk of the town.
Right now, Jakub Dobes is the No. 1 goalie, but it's not yet clear whether Samuel Montembeault or Jacob Fowler will be his backup. That will depend on several factors, including the trade market.
Will Kent Hughes be able to trade his veteran goaltender or not?
But in any case, Jakub Dobes was given more than $16 million (from 2027 to 2030) so he can continue to develop in his role as the No. 1 goaltender.

Dear Gossips,It was a weekend for the pop culture gods. The World Cup, of course, is the Olympus of sport – and since the final was set in the United States, the event brought together global superstars from almost every entertainment stream, from football to music to movies and television and also the celebrities of the digital generation. But mythological figures from the past were also present in our current timeline, as The Odyssey opened to Herculean expectations …and delivered

Artificial intelligence is a hot topic in all areas of society. That's to be expected.
To me, it's a bit like advanced stats in hockey: not using them would mean missing out on something, but you shouldn't rely solely on them either.
The middle ground is often the logical solution. And not just with AI…
Sports teams must also, inevitably, learn to deal with this increasingly important reality. And once again, it's all about finding the right balance.
Asking AI to generate trades (as the M

The New York Mets recently let Carlos Mendoza go. Andy Green is managing the team until further notice.
Clearly, it's safe to assume that Green—who will return to the second base coaching position in 2027 and whose name hadn't been mentioned as a managerial candidate since he left San Diego in 2019—wasn't the team's first choice.
First of all, if Alex Cora hadn't wanted to take a year off, I have a feeling the Mets would have gone head-to-head with the Phillies to hire him. But that'

Alex Ovechkin has always done whatever he wanted. And the most notable time he fully embraced a game plan, it earned him a Stanley Cup ring.
Does he want to drink liquor during a game? Doesn't want to play defense? Wants to stand still during a power play? Wants to gain weight over the summer?
He'll do it. He's never held back from living life to the fullest.Some familiar faces in the stands at MetLife Stadium for the @FIFAWorldCup final!pic.twitter.com/Xt4CoAVKcL

NFL training camps have officially kicked off, and, as they do every year, all eyes are on the rookies.While several first-round picks are already drawing the attention of observers, some less-expected players could quickly raise their stock and become serious contenders for Offensive Rookie of the Year.
The favorites are well known. Running back Jeremiyah Love of the Arizona Cardinals and quarterback Fernando Mendoza of the Las Vegas Raiders are among the top contenders, according to sports bet
