Milan Lucic, 37, who last played in 2023, gets a tryout with the Blues
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Blues are bringing in 37-year-old forward Milan Lucic, who last played in 2023, for a tryout. Lucic was a member of the Boston Bruins' 2011 Stanley Cup championship team who also played for the Kings, Oilers and Flames before returning to the Bruins in 2023. He had two assists in four games that year before he took a puck off his ankle and went on long-term injured reserve. Three weeks later, police were called to Lucic's home by his wife, who told them he pulled her hair and tried to choke her. He was arrested on suspicion of assault and battery on a family member, but the charges were dropped when his wife declined to testify in court. Lucic entered the league's Player Assistance Program. The Blues say he has completed the program and has been reinstated by the NHL. Lucic has 233 goals, 353 assists and 1,301 penalty minutes in 17 NHL seasons. He had a career-high 32 goals with 30 assists in 2010-11 and assisted on the overtime winner in Game 7 of the first-round series against the Montreal Canadiens to help the Bruins win their most recent Stanley Cup title. ___

No. 19 Texas A&M's QB Marcel Reed determined to prove he's more than just a runner
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed is well aware that many see him as much more valuable as a runner than as a passer. He spent the offseason working to change that. 'I know y'all have also heard it just like I've heard it: I'm not a passer,' he said. 'But I feel like I've had tremendous growth in my passing this offseason. We've had some great receivers come in … I think I just feel a lot more confident back there. Finding ways to protect myself, knowing the offense a little bit better and just being confident as a quarterback.' Reed started last season as Conner Weigman's backup before earning the job in October. He threw for 1,864 yards with 15 touchdowns and six interceptions and ran for 543 yards and another seven scores as the Aggies went 8-4. Weigman transferred to Houston this offseason and Reed went to work on improving to help No. 19 Texas A&M take another step this year in the second season under coach Mike Elko. Reed attended the Manning Passing Academy this summer, learning from Hall of Famer Peyton Manning and his brother and NFL veteran Eli Manning. 'You learn a lot of different things about ways to be a quarterback, just how you approach the game,' Reed said. 'Peyton talked a lot about how he studied.' Reed believes his offseason work will pay dividends this season. 'I feel like there's another gear, another level I can take it to this year,' Reed said. In camp, Elko has already seen improvement in his quarterback. 'There's times where we're getting through progressions better than we did with him at any point last year,' Elko said. 'So those were the steps that we felt like he needed to take. Because a lot of times what you see as a bad throw, we see as the eyes not moving fast enough for the body or the eyes not in rhythm together and so poor mechanics because of that which sometimes leads to bad throws.' Protecting Reed Returning to protect Reed this season are veteran guard Ar'maj Reed-Adams and left tackle Trey Zuhn III. Reed-Adams was named a first-team AP All-America Monday. He spent four seasons at Kansas before transferring to A&M last season and starting every game at right guard. Zuhn earned SEC third team honors last season and leads the team with 37 starts entering his fourth year as a starter. Their work last season helped the Aggies finish as one of three teams in the Southeastern Conference to have 2,500 yards both passing and rushing. Owens returns Running back Rueben Owens returns after missing all but two games last season because of a foot injury. He sustained the injury in training camp and played in the regular season finale and Texas A&M's bowl game despite not being 100%. Elko believes Owens can be a boost to their running game after he ran for 385 yards and three touchdowns in limited work as a freshman in 2023. 'He understands how much he loves this game and he loves getting to do it, and his urgency to do is it at a really, really high level,' Elko said. 'Every rep has probably stepped up, one, because (he's) a year older, but probably because that's what happens sometimes when it gets taken away from you like it did. Defensive standouts The Aggies have a couple of veteran players returning to lead the defense in defensive back Will Lee III and linebacker Taurean York. Lee earned SEC second team honors last season after ranking fifth in the conference with 10 passes broken up and 42 tackles. He also had two interceptions, including one that he returned 93 yards for a touchdown against Texas. York, who was named to the second team on the preseason All-America team, led the Aggies with 82 tackles last season and ranked second with 9 ½ tackles for losses. The schedule The Aggies open the season Aug. 30 with a visit from UTSA. A big early test comes Sept. 13 with a visit to No. 6 Notre Dame, which won 23-13 at Kyle Field to open last season. The Aggies open SEC play Sept. 27 against Auburn, the first of three consecutive home games. There's a tough stretch later in the season with a trip to No. 9 LSU on Oct. 25 and a visit from 13th-ranked South Carolina Nov. 15. The Aggies visit top-ranked archrival Texas on Nov. 28.

La Liga Soccer: Livestream Every Game of the 2025-26 Season From Anywhere
The race for the Spanish top flight restarts as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético prepare for another fierce title battle in La Liga. Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the 2025/26 soccer La Liga season as it happens, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if the match isn't available there. Handi Flick's first season in charge at FC Barcelona was one to remember, with the German coach guiding the Catalan giants to a domestic double. Unsurprisingly, the Blaugrana haven't made much in the way of major changes to their squad during the summer, with goalkeeper Joan García and highly touted young winger Roony Bardghji joining alongside loan star Marcus Rashford. Barça's eternal rival Real Madrid, by contrast, has entered a new era under the leadership of former Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso, who replaced Carlo Ancelotti as head coach. Last season's underwhelming campaign has prompted some big signings to complement the likes of Galácticos Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alvaro Carreras and Dean Huijsen moving to the Bernabeu. Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, will be once again hoping to close the gap on the top two, while Athletic Bilbao, Getafe and Villarreal will be looking to build on impressive top-five finishes last term. The new campaign also sees Levante, Elche and Real Oviedo joining from Segunda Division, with the latter making their return to the top flight for the first time in 24 years. The new season kicked off on Aug. 15, with the final fixtures set to played on Sunday, May 24, 2025. Real Madrid and Barcelona have dominated La Liga, winning 36 and 28 titles respectively. IonHow to watch La Liga in the US without cable As with last season, all Spanish top-flight games will be available to stream in the US via ESPN Plus, which has live English- and Spanish-language broadcast rights for La Liga in the US. Select games will also be broadcast on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN Deportes, throughout the season. It's worth noting that ESPN is launching an all-new standalone streaming service later this month. How to watch the La Liga from anywhere with a VPN If you find yourself unable to view La Liga matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the games -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this. Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions. James Martin/CNET ExpressVPN Best VPN for streaming Price $13 per month, $100 for the first 15 months (then $117 per year) or $140 for the first 28 months (then $150 per year) Latest Tests No DNS leaks detected, 18% speed loss in 2025 tests Network 3,000 plus servers in 105 countries Jurisdiction British Virgin Islands ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices.
