There’s a new highest-paid man in the National Hockey League and his name is Auston Matthews.
Although, let’s be completely honest: we all knew this was coming.

Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs completed a 4-year, $53 million extension that carries an AAV of $13.25 million, per Yahoo Sports. That makes him the highest-paid player based on AAV topping the Colorado Avalanche’s Nathan McKinnon who previously held that title with his AAV of $12.6 million.
The shared gold medal is a first in the history of the World Athletics Championships.
Throughout most of the 2023 season, Athletics’ fans have tried to keep the team in Oakland despite the ongoing, expected move to Las Vegas.
Fans began chanting “Sell the team!” and even wearing t-shirts with the same message written on them when attending home games. This chant was directed in particular at owner John Fisher, who has been at the forefront of the team’s move to Las Vegas.
Fisher spoke with NBC Bay Area’s Raj Mathai this week in an exclusive interview and discussed how the fans have reacted to the A’s move.
To say things have unraveled quickly for the Yankees is an understatement.
As recently as Aug. 11, New York was 60–56 and within shouting distance of the third wild card spot, then occupied by the Blue Jays. Now, nine losses later, the Yankees are 60–65, 17 games out of first place in the AL East, and 10 games behind the third-place Mariners in the wild card race.
With New York as rudderless as it’s been at any point in the last three decades, general manager Brian Cashman didn’t mince words when talking to reporters Wednesday afternoon.

McIlroy acknowledged his pet peeve on the course, involving fans being too vocal ahead of the Tour Championship.
Rory McIlroy has never been one to shy away from sharing his feelings. That was once again evident Wednesday on the eve of the Tour Championship in Atlanta, GA.
After being asked his thoughts on the emergence of live sports betting and its impact on golf, McIlroy was blunt with his response.
Expectations were high for wide receiver Corey Davis out of college. He was selected fifth overall in the 2017 draft by the Tennessee Titans.
Six rough seasons in the NFL later, Davis is calling it a career at the young age of 28.

The Angels are floundering, and now they might be without their two-way star for a while
Shohei Ohtani had one heck of a first inning on Wednesday against Cincinnati Reds.
But it may have come at a cost for the Los Angeles Angels.
Los Angeles Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani left Wednesday’s game early with what the team is calling arm fatigue.
The Angels were hosting the Cincinnati Reds in what was Ohtani’s first start in about two weeks. After a meeting on the mound he suddenly exited the game in just the second inning.

Just before Ohtani walked off the mound, the Angels broadcast team was discussing how his velocity was noticeably down.
At the time of the trade, the 49ers’ decision to move up nine spots in the 2021 NFL draft to select North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance was viewed by many throughout the game as bold, if not puzzling. Just over two years later, the move is looking increasingly like a disaster.
San Francisco’s reported decision to name Sam Darnold its backup quarterback drew plenty of reactions from across the football world, most of them critical of how the team’s gamble on Lance has failed to pay off.
