Sean McVay has had enough and is sending a strong message

Aaron Donald‘s possible return continues to be a hot topic in the NFL.
Several months after announcing his retirement, the former Los Angeles Rams star has still not ruled out a return to the field, leaving fans and the organization waiting for a decision.
Head coach Sean McVay recently addressed the issue with complete transparency. According to him, no pressure is being put on Donald, who is taking the time he needs to determine whether he still has the motivation to resume the demanding

Almost three years ago, Shohei Ohtani was being courted by the Blue Jays. Unsurprisingly, he ultimately chose to sign with the Dodgers.
And this was despite the fact that, for a few minutes, everyone thought he had chosen the Blue Jays. #HeWasOnAPlane
I don't think he regrets his decision, having won two rings (including one against Toronto) with the Los Angeles Dodgers since then.
Because he's so good, Ohtani gets booed in Toronto. But that's all part of the game.
That doesn't stop him, however

Ever since the CH drafted Michael Hage in 2024, many people have viewed him as the team's future second-line center. There's a need to be filled in the city, and we know Hage has the talent to hold his own on a top-6 line.
And since he's been playing center for the past few years, he's (logically) seen as a candidate.
That said, doubts remain about whether he'll stay at center at the pro level. He isn't particularly dominant in the faceoff circle, and some wonder if he's better suited to play wi

We left off last week with the trio of Tim Runtso, Florian Xhekaj, and Adam Engstrom.
No stars—or even impact players—in sight here. At best, they're solid role players who could have a decent career spanning a few hundred NHL games.
The trio we're featuring this week seems capable of reaching greater heights—at least in theory. We're fairly confident that at least one of them could eventually become an impact player—that is, a player above the NHL average.9. Bryce Pickfo

The Miami Dolphins were hoping to use their first preseason game to get some answers, but their 20-7 loss to the Washington Commanders instead raised several questions.
With Jeff Hafley as the new head coach, a new front office, and Malik Willis as the new starting quarterback, Miami is entering a major transition period. Friday's game therefore represented the first real opportunity to assess the team's new look.
Willis, however, was one of the few bright spots. In his first appearance with the

This morning, we learned that Ricky Tiedemann has been called up by the Blue Jays. The pitcher, who has long been regarded as a top prospect, will make his Major League debut today.
However, we also learned that Daz Cameron was traveling with the team. He hadn't been activated by the team… but he was there in case Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had to go on the injured list.
He was being evaluated for a concussion after colliding with George Lombard Jr. last night.
And in the end, it was confirmed

Last spring, Michael Hage decided not to make the leap to the pros. The decision surprised many, given that he had just had two strong seasons in the NCAA.
And generally speaking, it's very rare to see prospects of his caliber spend more than two years in the American college system. It's happened before, but it's far from the norm.
That said, over the past few months, the idea of him reversing his decision ahead of the 2026–27 season has been the subject of much speculation. Jeff Gorton l

The Arizona Cardinals will have to do without their young running back, Jeremiyah Love, in their next preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys. The rookie is set to sit out for a week to recover from an ankle injury he sustained Thursday night against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Love's condition raised some additional concerns on Friday. The running back showed more swelling than expected, forcing the organization to slow down the recovery process.
Head coach Mike LaFleur confirmed that the Cardinal

Devon Witherspoon has just reached another major milestone in his young career. The Seattle Seahawks cornerback has signed a four-season deal worth $132 million, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
This contract extension includes $101 million in guaranteed money, a figure that underscores the importance the Seattle organization places on the defensive back. With this new deal, Witherspoon officially becomes the highest-paid player in NFL history at his position.

Last night, there were rumors that the Blue Jays were going to call up Ricky Tiedemann.
For those who don't know him, he's a prospect for the club (once Toronto's No. 1 prospect) who has been hampered by injuries—including Tommy John surgery.
But the left-handed pitcher, who is currently healthy, has an impressive arsenal. When he's able to stay on the mound, he can make a difference.
And now the Blue Jays have officially recalled the pitcher. Chase Lee is making way for him by heading to

Laval University's Rouge et Or are kicking off their training camp with a major question to answer: Who will take over for Arnaud Desjardins at quarterback?

After discussing NHL.com's top 5 Montreal Canadiens prospects and the surprise of seeing David Reinbacher ranked first ahead of Michael Hage, let's now take a look at the projections for the Canadiens' active players.
NHL.com has ranked NHL players for hockey pools and fantasy leagues, with the official site releasing projections for offensive production.
As for the Montreal Canadiens, the projections are fairly logical and plausible.
Indeed, the Habs' “Big 5”—if we can call th

Without much fanfare, the San Diego Padres recorded their sixth straight win by defeating the Cleveland Guardians 7-5 yesterday.
This important win was secured by young Bradgley Rodriguez, a 22-year-old reliever with impressive skills and a quality fastball. Rodriguez's save was the first of his career, and this success will certainly not be his last.
The Venezuelan native made his Major League debut in 2025, appearing in seven games with the Padres. Yesterday, he contributed, in his own way, to

The return of the National Hockey League and the Montreal Canadiens also means the return of regular programming on Quebec's sports radio station, BPM Sports.
Many of us enjoy following the sports analysis on this station and its various shows, no matter what time of day it is, whether we're in the car or at home.
There's sure to be plenty of enthusiasm and excitement in the discussions, as we're expecting a great season from the Montreal Canadiens, following the one they gave us in 2025–2

Every year, the National Hockey League's official website publishes several articles on each NHL team a few weeks before the start of the season.
Each team has its own feature day, and the articles have been published in alphabetical order by team since August 1, which means today is the Montreal Canadiens' feature day.
The NHL website has provided us with five very interesting articles looking ahead to the 2026–2027 season, featuring several analyses, some of which are quite surprising.

Richard Fleischer’s entrée into Hollywood was that he was the son of animation legend and studio boss Max Fleischer, whose studio produced cartoons like Betty Boop and Popeye the Sailor.But Richard went on to have a successful career as a film director. He worked in a variety of genres, including the sci-fi of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea in 1954, the musical Doctor Doolittle in 1967, and the sword and sorcery epic Conan the Destroyer in 1984.In a Province story that ran on Aug. 14

In a crucial game for a spot in the upcoming playoffs, the Toronto Blue Jays got off to a strong start in their three-game series against the New York Yankees.
John Schneider's team won 3-1 yesterday at home, but team officials are holding their breath due to an incident that occurred late in the sixth inning involving Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
The Jays' first baseman was accidentally struck in the head by George Lombard Jr.'s knee as Lombard Jr. attempted to field a wild throw from a teammate. Guer

We all remember the huge Mikko Rantanen situation that unfolded at the 2025 trade deadline, when the then-Colorado Avalanche forward was traded from the Carolina Hurricanes to the Dallas Stars in the space of just a few days.
Rantanen had been caught off guard by the Avalanche when he was traded to Carolina, where it quickly became clear that he had no intention of re-signing and staying long-term.
The Canes therefore had to quickly change course to avoid losing Rantanen for nothing over the sum

The situation with the Detroit Red Wings has been the subject of much speculation, especially this summer.
First, we know the team is looking for a new GM, since Steve Yzerman stepped down in mid-July. A few names have been mentioned as potential successors to Stevie Y, but nothing has been finalized yet.
Then there's the famous Dylan Larkin saga—he requested a trade last June. Although a multitude of rumors have surfaced, Larkin remains a member of the Red Wings.
In short, Larkin seems to

Earlier this week, it was reported that Renaud Lavoie was stepping down from his position at BPM Sports.
That was pretty big news, let's just say.
A little later that day, we also learned that the renowned sports reporter was already being courted following his departure.
Tonight, on the Facebook page for Radio X's “Le Retour,” an announcement was made stating that Lavoie will be on the air on the Quebec City radio station starting next Friday.
In addition, he'll be there every Tuesd

If I mention the name Cameron Reid, it probably doesn’t mean much to you, unless you’re thinking of Chase Reid, the seventh overall pick in the last draft.
Even though they share the same last name, they're not related, but Cameron is also a first-round pick (21st overall in 2025).
To give you a quick summary, he's a versatile defenseman who won the Memorial Cup with the Kitchener Rangers and played for Team Canada Junior last year.
In short, Cameron Reid played hockey this summer wi

We didn't expect the Mets to trade Francisco Lindor at the trade deadline. It happened too quickly.
But now that it's over and the offseason is fast approaching, the question arises: Will the Mets make a move?
Before the deadline, many insiders were convinced that the Mets would try to trade him during the 2026–2027 offseason—even though the team wants to win in 2027.
That's one of the reasons why Tarik Skubal's name is being mentioned in town right now.
But on this subject, the man

Elias Pettersson is talented.
He didn't rack up 508 points in his first 545 NHL games by accident: we're talking about a guy who has real talent and who has proven he can excel at the highest level of hockey on the planet.
Except…
But the last two years have been tougher for him, and now people are talking about him as a player who's (really) struggling to find his footing on the ice. And that partly explains why his name has been popping up in a ton of trade rumors since the start of the

The 2026–27 NHL season is fast approaching.
The various teams are gearing up for the season… and so are the National Hockey League's arenas.
In Vegas, they've decided to try something new at center ice. And judging by the result, it's clearly a very clever idea.
Basically, it's simple: the center of the ice in Vegas is now painted to resemble a roulette wheel. We know there are plenty of casinos in Vegas, and it's no wonder they call it the city that never sleeps. 
Here's what

Yesterday Lainey mentioned that the five-minute preview of Lanterns was working for her, in no small part because it is extremely well cast. Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre are both HOT, and they have GREAT chemistry as, essentially, a wildcard space cap duo.

As we know, NHL players are seen as heroes by young people.
Jacob Fowler took advantage of his popularity to bring some joy to kids at a hockey camp in Montreal over the past few days, and it made for some great moments.
The kids had a blast, after all. And so did the goalie!
A video of Fowler and the kids was posted on X, showing the American playing as a forward to make the young campers laugh and have a good time.
The goalie signed autographs, showed off his skills in a shootout, and admitted

Martin St-Louis will be making his debut in NHL 27’s Ultimate Team mode… but in a rather special way.
The Montreal Canadiens' head coach will get his own coach card, which players can use in their Ultimate Team lineups.
This new feature is sure to bring a smile to Habs fans' faces, but it could also have a tangible impact on team building. That's because St-Louis's card will provide bonuses to Canadiens players included in the user's lineup.
