Maple Leafs have made a pair of roster moves heading into their game Saturday in Buffalo. The team announced that winger Mitch Marner had been placed on LTIR retroactive to March 7 for what they’ve termed as roster management purposes. They opened up enough salary cap space to recall defenseman Marshall Rifai from AHL Toronto. Marner has been out since March 7 with an ankle injury, a significant blow to Toronto’s lineup. Before the injury, the 26-year-old was doing quite well, collecting 25 goals and 51 assists in 62 games. This point-per-game pace would have given him a legitimate…

The Dallas Cowboys suffered one of the most — if not the most — embarrassing and tougher losses in franchise history. Even so, they kept HC Mike McCarthy, and they allowed DC Dan Quinn to leave. They also lost two key offensive linemen and their starting running back, and they haven’t done much — of anything at all — to improve their roster. That’s why NFL analyst Mina Kimes believes they’re not making any sense right now. Talking to Robert Griffin III for his podcast, she questioned Jerry Jones’ decision not to extend Dak Prescott, as he’s…

Brad Holmes said this week at the Annual League Meetings that this offseason was the best free agency he’s had since becoming general manager of the Detroit Lions in 2021 because they were able to sign all of their top targets.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell said this week it’s important to get both deals done. “Yeah, those are priorities,” Campbell said. “Those are certainly priorities. I’m not going to…

ORLANDO, Fla. — Speaking at the Annual League Meeting in Orlando on Tuesday morning, Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy touched on the expiring contracts of most of the big names on his coaching staff – including defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer – and his own which is set to expire at the end of the 2024 season. Some could anticipate added pressure on a season for McCarthy, who has been the head coach in Dallas since 2020 and has amassed a 42-25 record in the regular season but just a 1-3 record in the postseason, but McCarthy is comfortable…

The Dallas Cowboys could be an ideal landing spot for two former great running backs. As reported by Dallas Morning News’ Michael Gehlken, four-time Pro Bowler Dalvin Cook and former Cowboys star Ezekiel Elliott have “potential interest” in signing with the Cowboys. The interest from both free agent running backs isn’t exactly surprising considering Dallas has yet to replace former starting running back Tony Pollard. “While they declined to comment, anyone contemplating the Cowboys’ direction at the position would be wise to monitor the veteran running backs in conjunction with a rookie pick,” wrote Gehlken on Tuesday, March…

Moments after Bellingham’s winning goal, Tielemans stood before turning to lightly push Romelu Lukaku. He then turned towards the dugout seats and delivered three furious punches before turning back around and shouting in anger. Ollie Watkins came off the bench and influenced the game by winning…
