Deebo Samuel makes NFL history without making a single reception

Deebo Samuel found a rather unusual way to make NFL history. The San Francisco 49ers wide receiver finished the game with zero receptions, 80 passing yards, and a touchdown—a stat line never before seen in the league.
The story behind this performance is unusual, to say the least. A player can accumulate passing yards and score a touchdown in a single drive without officially catching a pass—particularly when a teammate hands him the ball after a catch.
That's exactly what happened d

The Canadiens let Kirill Marchenko slip away. And for the next seven years, he'll be in their division.
We can all agree that the #1 reason the Russian is in Toronto is because the Maple Leafs had a player of Matthew Knies' caliber to trade.
The Habs would have gotten him if the 2026 trade deadline had been pushed back by a minute—ah, never mind.
All that to say that the Canadiens were in the mix. They wanted to land the Blue Jackets player, but they didn't have the resources to make it ha

Dear Gossips,Trigger warning for sexual assault.Jane Doe’s lawsuit against Cornell University and the men now known as the Cornell 7, who allegedly drugged and raped her for several hours in a frat house, and were in the group chats bragging about it and encouraging others to participate, was filed a couple of weeks ago and steadily picking up awareness.

Samuel Montembeault will serve as Jakub Dobes' backup at the start of the season.
We didn't expect to be writing this a few months ago, but the situation has changed. Kent Hughes's inability to find a trade partner for the Quebec native and the goalie's strong play have turned the tables.
And here we are.
We agree that, in the long run, this doesn't change Jacob Fowler's potential. The young man was the Canadiens' No. 2 goaltender in the playoffs, and we know that, eventually, the Habs see him a

And since few believe he'll keep his job as manager in Arizona, he remains an opt

Kirill Marchenko is now, for better or worse, tied to the Maple Leafs.
The Toronto team chose to trade the only top-tier player who could truly adapt to playoff hockey for a highly talented player who will earn a higher salary.
Will it pay off? Because right now, it's the Blue Jackets (the team that was in trouble, as we recall) who are being praised by just about everyone.
There's a good chance we'll see Kirill Marchenko face off against the Canadiens tonight—he's likely just arrived in t

The Minnesota Vikings received a major update regarding Justin Jefferson after their star player left Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to an ankle injury.
Justin Jefferson was injured in the first quarter of the game after catching a pass from Kyler Murray. The wide receiver was quickly evaluated in the medical tent before returning to the sidelines. However, he was unable to return to the field and was ultimately ruled out for the remainder of the game. (Vikings⁠

On Saturday, it was reported that the Canadiens had received offers for Kirby Dach, but that no trade had been finalized.
Among the teams interested were the Edmonton Oilers. It appears the Oilers are on the hunt for a center prospect, as they've once again been shopping around.
According to information shared by Elliott Friedman on his “32 Thoughts” podcast, Edmonton reportedly contacted the Kraken about Shane Wright.Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts Podcast about the Oilers: &ld

Even though Kirill Marchenko was traded, the stories about him just keep coming.
And this time, it involves the Canadiens.
Appearing on the Real Kyper & Bourne podcast on Monday, Elliotte Friedman revealed that the Russian was set to sign a contract with the Canadiens this summer.Ultimately, the deal worked out so that he ended up with the Maple Leafs because of the return requested by the Blue Jackets, who had the final say in the decision.
What's interesting is that Friedman wondered wheth

The Blue Jays are going to have their work cut out for them this winter. After all, the team absolutely has to be better in 2027.
And to do that, we can all agree that the offense will have to be better.
The team has money and will need to invest to bring players to the city. Whether through trades or free agency, it's going to take an investment.
But who might be a target?Mitch Bannon, who covers the Blue Jays for The Athletic, says he expects the Toronto Blue Jays to show interest in Kirill Ma

The Kirill Marchenko saga has finally come to an end following the trade that sent him to Toronto, but now other stories about him are quietly resurfacing.
About ten days ago, we reported that two players had shown up at the Blue Jackets' training camp out of shape. That had really riled up head coach Rick Bowness.
One of those two players is reportedly Marchenko. That's what former NHL goaltender Andrew Raycroft revealed on NHL Radio on Monday.Andrew Raycroft just said on NHL Radio that Kirill

That's today's big news in the National League. Kirill Marchenko has (finally) been traded.
The Russian is now a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs: Matthew Knies is heading in the opposite direction… and is now part of the Columbus Blue Jackets organization.
Marchenko in the City of Kings makes sense. Especially considering that the guy was invisible in '25–'26 when his team needed him…
Last season, the Blue Jackets were just a few points away from a playoff spot and needed t

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has had a reputation as a power hitter since the start of his career. But is he really one? The question arises, especially after his disastrous season that just ended yesterday. 
Former Blue Jays player Josh Donaldson weighed in on the issue, and for him, the answer is obvious. It's a resounding no! To back up his stance, he highlighted Vlad Jr.'s statistics from recent seasons. 9 home runs in 2026.

The player, who was in the final year of his current contract, has signed a contract extension with the Leafs. And we now know the details of the deal.

This morning at practice, it became clear that Florian Xhekaj probably won't play tomorrow night in Toronto. Even with Oliver Kapanen out, Xhekaj is likely to be in the press box rather than on the ice.
Adam Engström is also likely to be there with him.
Of course, it's interesting to see the team leaving young players in the stands. You'd think that since they're already up there, the Habs would be better off putting them in the game to see what they're made of.
And Martin St-Louis, who was

Has it only been four years since Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady announced their divorce? It seems like a lifetime ago, definitely more than four years. Maybe because Gisele bounced from that relationship and doesn’t seem to have ever looked back – and, culturally, no one is missing it, since Tom Brady immediately became the poster model for Divorced Men, living up to every stereotype, to the point where it seems like “divorced” has always been his identity.There&rsqu

Now she’s filed a lawsuit against the organization.In a sit-down interview with Deborah Roberts from AB

Let me ask you a question right off the bat.
If you had to name the two players whose names have come up most often in trade rumors in Montreal over the past six months… what would your answers be?
I know what your answers would be: Kirill Marchenko and Matthew Knies. 
There's been a lot of talk about these two players since the trade deadline in Montreal because they fit an interesting profile for a team like the Canadiens, who were looking to add some offensive firepower to their t

The Canadiens' 2026–27 season kicks off tomorrow. The team will be in Toronto to face the Maple Leafs to kick off their season.
Yes, there's a real sense of hockey in the air right now.
But before flying to Toronto, the team practiced this morning. And in addition to noting the absence of Oliver Kapanen (replaced by Alex Newhook at center on the second line), we got some clues about the team's bottom-six lineup.

The last time the Chicago White Sox made the playoffs was in 2021, and they were eliminated in the Division Series by the Houston Astros.
So we're in for a rematch between these two teams, but the series is likely to be a bit less exciting than the other three Wild Card series.
That's because Houston, with its 81-81 record, holds the worst record in MLB history for a team making the playoffs after a full season. And on the other side of the ring, things aren't much better—but at least expe
