    The Pitt Supremacy is Here
    Last year, The Pitt made a clean sweep of awards season, winning every major drama series award at every major awards show. This year, The Pitt still won a lot—six total Emmys for its second season—but it wasn’t QUITE as dominant as last year. In a sign that Emmy voters can, in fact, keep up with new shows, Pluribus won a couple notable trophies, but more on that later.For The Pitt, Noah Wyle repeated as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, and the show repeated as Outstan

    Kirill Marchenko’s (questionable) message to Don Waddell ahead of the season
    Kirill Marchenko's name was all over the rumor mill this summer.
    And things haven't calmed down in recent days after it was reported that the player decided not to attend his team's golf tournament—even though he still has one year left on his current contract.
    That said, Don Waddell seems to have wanted to calm the storm with his most recent statement about his forward.
    According to Aaron Portzline, who covers the team in Columbus, Waddell said he met with Marchenko, who told him:“I

    TIFF Review: Josephine is a shattering experience
    There are certain films that will stick with you forever, once seen, they can never be forgotten. Beth de Araújo’s Josephine is such a film, an emotionally harrowing cinematic experience that is as tender as it is brutal. Josephine won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance earlier this year, and it’s no wonder. It’s an impossible film to dislodge from your brain, haunting and provoking and producing the kind of empathy Roger Ebert referenced when he called movies an “em

    Pete Alonso came to New York to stir up trouble
    Whether he meant to or not, Pete Alonso stirred up a storm in New York. It's as simple as that.
    On Monday, Alonso got the crowd at Citi Field on its feet. He also—once again, despite himself—prompted fans to call for David Stearns's head.
    If Alonso had returned—wearing an Orioles uniform—in April or May, the fans' reaction would have been different. But in September?
    The Mets are out of the playoff race largely because David Stearns saw fit to replace Pete Alonso with&hel

    Could Arber Xhekaj do what he did once during the 2025–2026 season—play on offense?
    The question was posed to Martin St-Louis during his press conference today. And the coach went further than I expected on the subject of Xhekaj.
    Basically, the coach didn't rule it out.Could Arber Xhekaj play on offense this season?

The ad, which promotes a sports trading app called Novig, features Sydney, who appears completely nude for most of it, save for the coverage of sports gear – footballs, a helmet, a soccer ball, cleets, a glove, a golf club and so on, and of course, a cheeky pair of Novig boy shorts.

    Playwright-cum-filmmaker Martin McDonagh is back to challenge everyone’s media literacy with his latest film, Wild Horse Nine. Like his feature film debut, In Bruges, it’s a two-hander centered on bad men contemplating their bad deeds and wondering what is left at the end of it all. Wild Horse Nine stars John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell as Chris and Lee, respectively, a pair of CIA operatives in 1973 Chile, laying the groundwork for the military coup that will put General Pinochet in

    Everyone knows that defenseman Kaiden Guhle isn’t fully healthy.
    Well, the Canadiens have finally provided details on what's in store for the left-hander, who underwent minor surgery on his adductor muscle earlier this summer.
    This is exactly what our colleague Maxime Truman reported earlier this summer.
    The timeline: a return in four to five weeks. Of course, that's assuming everything goes smoothly, since injuries can take longer to heal.

    At times, The Athletic's rankings have infuriated Habs fans this summer.
    But based on what was just presented this morning, I don't think Montreal fans will have any reason to be upset as training camp gets underway.
    Why? Because the Habs are ranked highly in an article that ranks the NHL's windows of opportunity.

    The situation involving the Denver Broncos and Drew Brees is raising questions within the NFL. Ahead of the AFC Championship Game, reports emerged of contact between the franchise and the former quarterback, even though he was still listed as officially retired by the New Orleans Saints.
    Faced with the risk of a potential violation of the “tampering” rules, the question was posed directly to the NFL: Does the Broncos' alleged conduct constitute a violation of the rules?

    The Connor Hellebuyck situation is shaping up to be complicated.
    The player had agreed to stay in Winnipeg long-term a few years ago (which helped the Jets avoid a rebuild), and his recent trade request wasn't a major public issue this summer.
    In some respects, it was possible to find ways not to hold it against him.
    But since then, he's gone public to ask to be traded… and we're now learning that the goaltender isn't expected to report to the Jets' training camp (according to Darren Dreg

    Several months after signing Ivan Demidov and Jakub Dobes, the Canadiens have recently signed Zachary Bolduc, Chris Kreider, Martin St-Louis, Arber Xhekaj, and Alex Newhook in the last few days.
    Yeah, things have been pretty busy the last few days.
    Xhekaj's contract helps the team get better aligned for this season, and Newhook's contract provides clarity for next year. And in both cases, that can be helpful.

    After months of negotiations, the Anaheim Ducks have finally reached an agreement with Cutter Gauthier. He had still not signed a contract for the upcoming season.
    It was well known that the forward, who couldn't sign a hostile offer, was asking for a lot. He wanted a big salary… and he's just signed a nice deal.
    We're talking about a six-year contract that will pay him $13.5 million per year. The total value is therefore $81 million.

    We'll see how things play out in due time.
    The problem? Yesavage, who was supposed to throw more than 40 pitches with the Bisons, was unable to get through the first inning in Buffalo.
    He threw 34 pitches over 0.2 innings in his rehab start and was pulled to avoid throwing too many pitches in a single inning. An earned run was charged to his record.
