Winnipeg Jets sign forward Gabriel Vilardi to a 6-year, $45 million extension
Dan Le Batard and Co. react to the NHL reportedly addressing the Long-Term Injury Reserve (LTIR) loophole in the new collective bargaining agreement, evaluating what this will mean for teams going forward. WINNIPEG. Manitoba (AP) — The Winnipeg Jets locked up forward Gabriel Vilardi on Friday, signing the forward to a six-year extension worth $45 million. Vilardi became a restricted free agent July 1 after completing a two-year, $6.88 million deal. He had career highs in 2024-25 with 27 goals, 34 assists, 61 points and 71 games. The 25-year-old from Kingston, Ontario, added a goal and three assists in nine playoff games after missing the last 11 games of the regular season and first four of the postseason because of an upper-body injury. The Jets acquired Vilardi in June 2023 in a trade that sent Pierre-Luc Dubois to the Los Angeles Kings. He has 90 goals and 85 assists in 270 career regular-season games in six seasons with Los Angeles and Winnipeg.

Here's where Florida's Billy Napier lands on The Athletic's hot seat index
Billy Napier and his Florida football program saw a second-half surge last season that ostensibly saved the head coach's job, finishing above the .500 mark for the first time in four years while winning their first bowl game since 2019. It was a clutch stretch that gave Napier and Co. a second life... but they are not out of the woods quite yet. Once again, the Orange and Blue face one of the most difficult schedules in the nation, which includes navigating through a brutal Southeastern Conference slate. While the hot seat status of the sideline corps has cooled to a simmer this summer, a bad start to the 2025 campaign could turn the burner right back up. Following the past week's SEC media days event, The Athletic's Seth Emerson took on the task of assembling his preseason head coach hot seat index. In it, he placed Napier in the "lukewarm" category — below the "hot" and "warm", but above the final "cool, but..." tiers — alongside LSU Tigers skipper Brian Kelly. "The vibes in Gainesville are definitely good, and Napier has turned a corner after winning five of seven to end 2024," Emerson begins. "After going through the media gauntlet on Wednesday, Napier acknowledged it was a nice change from last year." "A little more narrative about turning around, than how do you turn it around, if that makes sense,' Napier offered during his turn at the podium. "Look, we're preparing to be dropped in the deep end of the ocean again. That's the world we live in. The good thing is we have a team that's prepared, they know what winning football looks like.' However, Emerson acknowledges that there are plenty of variables in play — many of which can easily turn for the worse. "Still, things could go sideways again, especially with a daunting schedule and the health of QB DJ Lagway still a question. And Napier's buyout is down to $20 million. He may not need a College Football Playoff appearance, but he does need to keep momentum in the right direction," he concludes.

"How Only 1 Team Has Been Reprimanded...": Ex-England Captain Alleges ICC Of Bias
Former England captain Michael Vaughan expressed his disappointment over the decision of the International Cricket Counil (ICC) after the body penalised the team for maintaining a slow over rate in the third Test against India at Lord's. The England cricket team slipped a rung to third position in the World Test Championship table after being docked two points as a part of the penalty. Ben Stokes and Co. were also fined 10 per cent of their match fee after the Test, which they won by 22 runs on Monday. Match referee Richie Richardson imposed the sanction after England were ruled to be two overs short of the target when time allowances were taken into consideration. "In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time," the ICC said in statement. "In addition, as per Article 16.11.2 of the ICC World Test Championship playing conditions, a side is penalised one point for each over short. Consequently, two World Test Championship points have been deducted from England's points total," it added. Vaughan claimed that India were also "very very poor" with their over rate and alleged the ICC of biasness. "Let's be honest both teams over rates at Lord's were very very poor... How only 1 team has been reprimanded is beyond me," he wrote on X. Let's be honest both teams over rates at Lords were very very poor .. How only 1 team has been reprimanded is beyond me .. #ENGvsIND — Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) July 16, 2025 England's tally in the World Test Championship standings dropped from 24 to 22 out of 36 points, consequently reducing their point percentage (PCT) from 66.67 per cent to 61.11 per cent. As a result, Sri Lanka, who have a 66.67 PCT, have taken over England to be second. Australia leads the WTC table with a 100 percentage point having won all three of their games so far, while India have 33.33 PCT England captain Ben Stokes pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing. On-field umpires Paul Reiffel and Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid, third umpire Ahsan Raza and fourth umpire Graham Lloyd levelled the charge.
