The Rams Release Their Kicker

In the NFL, a kicker can lose his job with a single kick. Harrison Mevis learned this the hard way. In the wake of a heartbreaking loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Los Angeles Rams decided to part ways with the 24-year-old field goal kicker.
Head coach Sean McVay clearly ran out of patience. The 37-34 overtime loss was the last straw. With victory within reach, Mevis attempted a 48-yard field goal that Gregory Rousseau blocked. The kicker had already missed a 50-yard attempt earlier in the game.

Against all odds, the Los Angeles Dodgers were already facing elimination in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series. On this occasion, it was up to Tyler Glasnow to save his team's season from the mound. He faced off against Shane Drohan on the mound.
And the man who needed to step up did just that. Indeed, after an RBI single by Andy Pages in the second inning, Shohei Ohtani sent a pitch from Dustin May—a former Dodger who had come in to relieve Drohan—flying deep into le

David Perron didn’t have to wait very long to make his return to the NHL.
The 38-year-old from Quebec has reportedly agreed to a one-year contract with the Dallas Stars that will pay him $850,000 on a pro-rated basis.
That's according to two insiders, Elliotte Friedman and Frank Sevaralli.Hearing that David Perron is going to join the Dallas Stars
This will be his 20th NHL season. Pretty impressive stuff

Jayden Struble no longer really had a place on the Canadiens' roster.
Despite his physical attributes and mobility, he found himself stuck behind several defensemen in the pecking order, to the point where he had started watching games from the press box.The trade that sent him to Nashville, however, completely turned his situation around. With the Predators, the former second-round pick has just been given a great opportunity. He's on the top defensive pairing with Roman Josi tonight as Nashvil

The Canadiens need help at center if they really want to give themselves a chance to contend for the top spot in the Atlantic Division. Kent Hughes is certainly interested in players like Dylan Larkin and Mark Scheifele, but another name has been mentioned by a former NHL general manager.
That name is Ryan O'Reilly.
Appearing on RDS's “5 à 7” on Thursday evening, Pierre Dorion revealed that he believes Ryan O'Reilly could be a huge help to the Canadiens.Ryan O'Reilly would be

Trea Turner and shortstop
If he doesn't improve defensively in 2027, the Phillies will move him to a different position.“He didn't have a good year. He needs to fix his swing. He knows he has to be better at shortstop. I told him that's a must. I told him he can't play shortstop the way he did in 2026 heading into 2027.”Dave Dombrowski told him that if he plays shortstop the way he did in… pic.twitter.com/YwixDsWnzu

The bright spot for the Canadiens in Wednesday's loss to the Capitals was Josh Anderson's performance. His two goals proved why he currently deserves a spot on the second line.
Anderson chose the perfect moment to play at his best, given that his contract is set to expire at the end of the season.
Kent Hughes already knew, before the start of the season, that he would have to address the issue of a contract extension for his new assistant captain. However, the general manager told him he would f

Around (almost) the same time last year, I posted an article on the website saying this: It's time for Juraj Slafkovsky to wake up.
The great Slovak player, at that time, hadn't had a strong start to the season, and we needed to see more from him.
And today, a year later… I feel like I have to make the same darn observation.
Slaf has talent. He's capable of making a big impact on the ice with his size, and we know he can be a dominant player because we saw him do it in '25–'26.
But

Using soccer to help young people: that has been Geoffrey Cantin-Arku's goal throughout his career.That commitment has just been recognized. The Montreal Alouettes linebacker received the 2026 Jake Gaudaur Veterans' Award.
Presented since 2010, this award honors the CFL player who best embodies the values of Canadian veterans: strength, perseverance, courage, camaraderie, and commitment to the community. Members of his family broke the news to him on the field on Thursday at Hébert Stadiu

This afternoon, the Cleveland Guardians and the Tampa Bay Rays faced off live from Ohio in Game 3 of their series.
The series was tied 1-1 heading into the game. Who would come away with the win?
The home team was the first to get on the board. Nate Lowe, who has had his moments since the start of the series, hit a single.
That allowed the Guardians to score the first run of the game.Nathaniel Lowe comes up clutch once again as the Guardians strike first! pic.twitter.com/7w2xcJTA5V

It was in London, on the eve of a game, that the Philadelphia Eagles discovered the problem. Preventive tests Jalen Hurts underwent on Saturday, after the flight to England, revealed a blood clot. The quarterback played the next day anyway, but he won't be in uniform on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.
The story began on October 4, against the Los Angeles Rams. During that game, Hurts was struck in the calf by a cleat. He nevertheless participated normally in practices on the following Wedn

Alexandre Carrier, who is in the final year of his contract (this is important to note in the context of this article), is quietly becoming a priority for the Montreal Canadiens.
And if we're to believe what JiC (TVA Sports) and Réjean Tremblay (BPM Sports) have said, there's an important decision to be made regarding him: the team needs to ensure that the defenseman stays in Montreal for several years.
Both essentially made the same point: Carrier is a player who deserves a long-term rol

Prince Harry & Meghan Sussex made a public appearance in Nottingham today, returning to the city of Meghan’s first official royal outing, all the way back in 2017, for their first actual public appearance since moving back to the UK. I continue to be a little baffled by that move, because while I can understand totally valid reasons for it (schooling for the kids, Charles is sicker than they let on, Harry is homesick), I just cannot imagine any of it is worth a full-on MOVE back to the

Yellowjackets’ fourth and final season comes to Paramount+ on November 20, and yesterday, a teaser dropped showing the survivors’ long-awaited homecoming. In the timeline of the show, it’s been 19 months since the plane crash in the 1990s, and the kids are not alright. Nor are their adult counterparts in the present-day half of the split timeline.But in season four, it’s finally time for The Rescue, and to see how the survivors did, or did not, reintegrate into their live

Great news for Michael Hage.
The Montreal Canadiens prospect has been selected to participate in the 2026 Spengler Cup, which will take place December 26–31 in Davos, Switzerland.
What makes this special? The fact that Hage will be participating… but not with Canada: he's been called up to represent the U.S. university team. So it's going to be a great experience for him.
The tournament will feature several intriguing teams, including HC Davos, which will be playing on home ice, the

Before the new owners of the San Diego Padres, Kwanza Jones and Jose E. Feliciano, took over the team, rumors were circulating that the Padres were looking to reduce their payroll.
And with Manny Machado set to earn more than $39 million per season through the end of the 2033 season, his name came up more often than not.
It appears, however, that his name will have to be taken out of the equation. Indeed, it's unlikely that San Diego will part ways with the future Hall of Famer in the seventh ye

The NFL is considering changing its television schedule for Week 8 of the season.According to a report by Rob Tornoe of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Commanders could be moved out of the Sunday night slot, which is usually reserved for the most highly anticipated matchups.
This possibility is part of the league's flexibility mechanism, which allows for the rescheduling of certain games to offer viewers more compelling matchups during prime

I know there’s an abundance of celebrity podcasts and a confounding number of interview setups where celebrities eat on camera, but add Jesse Tyler’s Dinner’s On Me (if you don’t already listen).
First off, Jesse knows everyone so he has an interesting roster of guests and second, I kind of like how he pairs the vibe of the restaurant with the guest.View this post on Instagram

The Connor Hellebuyck situation is complicated.
What we need to keep in mind is that the more time passes, the more we wonder whether he'll be able to perform this season at a level that matches his talent.
A goaltender who misses training camp and the start of the season—just like a baseball pitcher—can suffer the negative effects for an entire season.
Ideally, for him and for everyone in Winnipeg, he would be traded as soon as possible.
But the more time passes, the more we wonder

Here at LaineyGossip, it’s been Maria who has been predicting the rise of Skyler Gisondo, anticipating for over a year that Skyler, who’s been scene-stealing for years now, would break out in a big way very soon. As she put it, he is “Walton Goggins for people who grew up with home internet”. Skyler Gisondo is extremely popular and recognisable on the internet, he is constantly memed, in a way that’s been much more advantageous than Ben Affleck’s experien

Tarik Skubal has been outstanding since arriving in Los Angeles. No one here is surprised.
His performances make up for the fact that he missed games this season due to an injury. And clearly, he's putting himself in a strong position heading into free agency.
We know he wants to return to Detroit, and we know that plenty of wealthy teams—like the Yankees, the Phillies, and the Blue Jays—are going to get involved.
But between you and me, we know it's going to come down to the Dodgers

Yesterday’s game on Prime continues to be the talk of the town.
That's only natural, after all. Why? Because it was the first game in Canadiens history to be available exclusively in French outside of traditional TV.
At least since hockey has been televised.
The differences between TVA Sports/RDS and Prime are sparking discussion. That's to be expected, since the game has just changed and Prime does certain things its own way.
But in my view, we also need to talk about the differences betw

Speaking of being on set, Sydney Sweeney and Zoe Kravitz are both working on films shooting in New York right now. Sweeney is working on a sequel to The Housemaid called The Housemaid’s Secret, based on the second novel in Freida McFadden’s book trilogy. The sequel brings back Paul Feig as the director, Sweeney as housemaid Millie, and Michele Morrone as Enzo the groundskeeper.

Could the New York Giants pull off a bold move to acquire Justin Herbert?A bold trade proposal is making the rounds in the NFL and could completely transform the future of the New York franchise.
Terron Armstead raised this possibility by outlining a scenario in which the Giants would acquire the Los Angeles Chargers' quarterback in exchange for Jaxson Dart and two first-round draft picks.
Such a trade would represent a major investment for New York. By giving up Dart and two first-round picks,

Montreal sports fans had a rough night yesterday. CF Montréal put on a disgraceful performance—nothing less—at Stade Saputo, which is supposed to be their “fortress.” Losing 3–0 in front of your own fans in soccer is unacceptable.
The Canadiens, on the other hand, played an excellent game in Washington—a game they somehow managed to lose 5–4 in regulation!
The Habs outshot their opponents 30–23, had 12–2 more dangerous scoring chances

The two-time World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers, now face elimination in the 2026 postseason, trailing 3-0 in the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers.
