The Red Sox Haven’t Lost a Game Since

The Boston Red Sox are the team of the moment in Major League Baseball. Yesterday, they won their twelfth straight game by defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 7-6.
Wilyer Abreu once again made his mark by hitting two home runs for the second straight game. The Sox's right fielder is literally on fire, now with 15 home runs to his credit.
Boston scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to clinch the win. The day before, they had swept a doubleheader against those same Rays. These wins are cr

Michael B. Jordan is the reigning Best Actor, but he is not taking any time off from straight f-cking excellence as he is back in the director’s chair for The Thomas Crown Affair, his update of Norman Jewison’s classic heist thriller-romance. The original 1968 film starred Steve McQueen as Thomas Crown, a thrill-seeking rich guy who does heists for fun and profit. Faye Dunaway plays the investigator who tracks and falls for him. In 1999, John McTiernan remade the film with Pierce Bro

Wow.
Big news in the NHL: Macklin Celebrini has signed his (new) contract.
The young Sharks forward will earn $18.8 million per season. It's a five-year deal:Signed, sealed, extended.Celebrini signs his extension.
— San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks) July 29, 2026Keep in mind that Macklin Celebrini still has one year remaining on his entry-level contract.
His new contract will therefore begin next summer… and run through the end of the 2031–2032 season. Why didn't he sign for a

The Milwaukee Brewers need to add a pitcher to their starting rotation by the trade deadline if they want to finally take it to the next level and reach the World Series.
While the Brewers are the biggest threat to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League, with Brandon Woodruff and Quinn Priester set to miss the rest of the season, another pitcher is desperately needed.
That's why the name of Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers has been circulating recently and will continue to do so until

Dear Gossips,Yesterday, in the last post of the day, I mentioned that our Kathleen, who will always be our Kathleen, and is now the Senior Content Director of Entertainment for Refinery29, has been a Tomdaya day one – relevant now because every Tomdaya fan has been feasting for weeks, first with The Odyssey press tour and then Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Every day is an excellent day for the Tomdaya faithful because every day Tom Holland and Zendaya have been out here being cute and goofy a

In his final season with the Canadiens, Jake Allen played a total of 21 games.
But it's worth noting that in '23–'24, the Habs decided to stick with three goalies for a long time. There was a three-way rotation in net, and I want to remind you just how much that situation was talked about in Montreal during the season.
That's to be expected. 
But Allen, for his part, didn't like finding himself in that kind of situation. He admitted it in an interview with DailyFaceoff: he felt like h

Right now, Zachary Bolduc and Arber Xhekaj are restricted free agents.
The Canadiens can't lose them without having the right to counter. But if the season started today, they wouldn't be able to play in any games.
Unless Kent Hughes has reached an agreement with his players, but it hasn't been announced yet? I don't believe that, but I'm raising the possibility anyway.
We can all agree that this situation isn't the end of the world. But still, one might wonder why these two Habs players (just l

Last night, the Blue Jays had a terrible night in many ways.
It started when Shane Bieber had his worst start in a Blue Jays uniform. After two strong outings and with the trade deadline just a few days away, the timing couldn't have been much worse.
He couldn't even make it through the first inning, walking no fewer than six batters in 0.2 innings of work.
He had absolutely no control. And even though it was hot and he couldn't get a good grip on the ball… it was hot for both teams.

The Canadiens' salary structure is often praised throughout the league. And that's to be expected.
After all, aside from the fact that it might hold some people back when it comes time to consider adding a big salary, there aren't many downsides to seeing the Habs in this position.
It gives the GM flexibility moving forward. And in an NHL where salaries have skyrocketed, having taken the initiative is good news for the club.
The question we might ask is this: Do the Canadiens have the best salar

Baker Mayfield’s future with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers remains up in the air.With training camp fast approaching, the quarterback has yet to sign a new contract with the team, raising several questions about his contractual status.
According to reports from ESPN, discussions between Mayfield's representatives and Buccaneers executives have been ongoing for several months, but have yet to result in an agreement. Despite numerous meetings between the two sides, progress has reportedly been li

The Cleveland Browns have decided to make a long-term commitment to one of the cornerstones of their defense.The organization has reached an agreement with cornerback Denzel Ward on a two-season contract extension, a deal that sets a new salary record for his position in the NFL.
According to reports from the Associated Press, the new deal is worth US$62.2 million, of which US$52.3 million is guaranteed. With an average annual salary of US$31.1 million, Ward officially becomes the highest-paid d

A few months—or even a few weeks—ago, Robert Thomas's name came up frequently in trade rumors.
Then, overnight, the talk died down. Jeremy Rutheford, a columnist covering the Blues, spoke with Thomas himself, and we now have a better understanding of why Thomas didn't leave St. Louis—and likely won't.
The player had productive discussions with the new GM, Alex Steen, and both sides agreed to move forward together.Robert Thomas on offseason conversations with GM Alexander Steen:

Patrick Kane didn’t exactly surprise everyone by signing with Chicago, but let’s just say that if you’d told him that at the end of last season, he wouldn’t have believed he’d sign anywhere other than Detroit.
So why did he return to the team that drafted him?

The Boston Red Sox needed some help from the right side of the plate. That’s why the team signed Curtis Mead.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
Earlier today, the newcomer was placed on his team's injured list. A ball that hit his left wrist caused a fracture.
He'll return to Boston for further testing.
Further testing revealed a fracture for Curtis Mead, a source confirms. @tommycassell44 has the full story.

Kirill Marchenko is at the center of an unclear situation in Columbus. The forward's name is being mentioned in rumors, and there is at least one person in his camp who expects a trade to happen soon.
Meanwhile, those who deny the reports often cite sources close to the team.
As a result, right now, it's hard to know what to make of it all. But it's interesting to note that earlier today, an “old” post involving Marchenko resurfaced.
The post in question is from NHL Follow Tracker, w

The potential labor dispute in Major League Baseball is causing quite a stir. After all, we know there's tension between the players and the owners.
Will this affect the trade deadline? That's definitely a question worth asking right now.
Why? Because if a potential labor stoppage were to prevent the upcoming season from having 162 games, it could be a game-changer heading into next week's trade deadline.
If that happens, it won't be the number one factor holding back trades. But it could still

Last December, the Wild surprised everyone by acquiring Quinn Hughes. The defenseman, whom many people expected to end up in New Jersey (along with his two brothers), was ultimately sent to Minnesota.
And, as usual, he's been outstanding.
That said, 2026–27 will be the final year of the defenseman's current contract. He'll earn $7.85 million this season… and he's set to receive a significant pay raise afterward.
Speaking of his new contract, Michael Russo (The Athletic) revealed tod

David Reinbacher hasn't had an easy journey since being drafted in 2023. The fifth overall pick in that draft has been plagued by injuries, which have slowed his development.
At just 21 years old, he's still pretty young… but he's nonetheless lost some crucial years in his development.
The good news is that Reinbacher has been fairly healthy in 2025–26. He played in 57 of the Rocket's 72 regular-season games and also appeared in two NHL games late in the season. He also played in fo

The Yankees and catchers
Do they want a No. 1 catcher? Not necessarily.
The Yankees aren't ready to give up on Austin Wells. They value his defense highly.
That means the most likely upgrade will be someone who can share duties, rather than an undisputed starter at the top of the market. https://t.co/lYL

Jennifer Lopez celebrated her birthday last Friday, she’s now 57 years old. And she seems to be in a really good place. It’s a corny thing to say but it definitely applies to her – that Carrie Bradshaw quote at the end of Sex and the City: “the most important relationship is the one you have with yourself”.
For as many times as she’s been in love, and it hasn’t worked out, there’s also, always, the corresponding bounce back.View this post on Instag

For the past few months, the Canadiens have been on the hunt for big names. The team wants to surround its core with other quality players and is trying to make trades to achieve that.
Noah Dobson was acquired in the summer of 2025 with that goal in mind. But a year later, the Habs haven't had the same success.
In reality, it seems the club will have to be prepared to overpay to land another big name. Kent Hughes must hear a lot about Michael Hage and Alexander Zharovsky, but he hasn't (yet?) da

It’s been two years since Charli xcx’s career took a major leap into commercial success with her album Brat. Since then she’s gone on tour across the world, released a mockumentary style film based on the album, done a soundtrack album for one of the year’s most anticipated movies, and is a staple at haute couture fashion shows. It’s all of that and more that make up her newest studio album, appropriately titled Music, Fashion, Film, the three creative avenues where

As of today, the Canadiens have not added a single NHL-caliber player to their roster since the start of the offseason. They've seen players like Brendan Gallagher, Joe Veleno, and Patrik Laine leave… without replacing them.
Unless Brett Berard or Sasha Pastujov end up forcing the front office's hand at training camp… but that's far from a guarantee.
And while negotiations with the Blue Jackets for Kirill Marchenko seem to be a murky situation, one wonders if the club has other opt

There are only six days left until the MLB trade deadline. Time is therefore running out for teams, which need to finalize their plans for the coming days.
Who will buy? Who will sell? And most importantly, who will be available?
And of course, Tarik Skubal is the name everyone is watching most closely. The Tigers' ace and two-time Cy Young Award winner has come back strong since his elbow surgery… but his team isn't winning enough to stay in the thick of the race.
