Great news in New York.
Andy Green, who has been the club's general manager for the past few months, has agreed to remain in his current role for three years.
We know he wanted to spend some time with his family and return to the Mets' front office in time for the 2027 season (since that's less demanding than a manager's job), but…
But he's changed his mind: he's now the club's full-time manager. He's no longer considered an interim manager.

One of the big questions of this training camp is whether Florian Xhekaj will start the season in Montreal.
It's not that he doesn't deserve it, but there are a lot of forwards on the team, and it will be tough for him to earn a spot.
Anthony Martineau, however, believes in the young player. He sees him starting the season on a third line, alongside Alex Newhook and Zachary Bolduc.MY LINEUP TO START THE SEASON
I don't care how or how much, but Florian Xhekaj has to start the season in Montreal.

Connor Hellebuyck will no longer play for the Winnipeg Jets.
He is still technically a member of the organization, but he has been suspended and is waiting to find out which team he will join next.
In the meantime, the Jets' marketing department hasn't been sitting idle. They took a jab at him.Some very clever marketing here from the #NHLJets' 50-50 sales staff.

After their loss last night, the Blue Jays were potentially facing a major threat: being eliminated from the playoff race as early as Tuesday night.
But now that's no longer possible. Why?
Because to be eliminated from the playoff race, not only would the Guardians and the White Sox have to win tonight, but the Blue Jays would also have to lose.
But now the Blue Jays' game tonight won't take place. It's raining in Baltimore.Tonight's #BlueJays #Orioles game has been postponed due to ongoing incl

As we've known and said for a long time, the Canadiens have offered their players very good contracts, making them one of the teams with the most payroll flexibility.
Having all of its players earning less than $10 million—in an era when even second-line players command such salaries—is exceptional.
Kent Hughes and his colleagues have managed the payroll so well that by 2027–2028, the club could have $29.7 million under the salary cap, and $42.6 million in 2028–2029. With

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

The NFL season has just taken a dramatic turn for the New York Giants.
The latest medical tests on young starting quarterback Jaxson Dart reveal that his knee injury is much more serious than initial diagnoses had suggested. Initially, the coaching staff had hoped for only a brief absence, but the clinical reality is quite different. The star player now faces the dreaded prospect of major surgery that could bring his season to a premature end.
This news has shaken the New York franchise to its c

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

With an impressive record of 11 wins in 14 games, the Montreal Alouettes are dominating the Eastern Division of the Canadian Football League (CFL).
Under head coach Jason Maas, the Montreal team is rapidly closing in on the division title—a remarkable feat considering its crowded injury list. The loss of key players like Cole Spieker and Travis Theis hasn't slowed the Alouettes' momentum, as they head into the home stretch with a comfortable lead in the overall standings.
However, the brea

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.

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.

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
