Mike Matheson and David Savard in talks with the Canadiens
Mike Matheson has entered the final year of his contract and, with an annual salary of $4.875 million, will be free as a bird on July 1 if he hasn’t signed a new deal by then. But if we’re to believe David Pagnotta(The Fourth Period), it might not come to that, because according to the informer, discussions are currently underway between the defenseman and the Canadiens to extend his contract. We know that Matheson wants to play here, and we also know that the Canadiens like him a lot. Jeff Gorton praised him this summer, saying he was important to the club at the moment… and even if there are other defensemen growing within the organization, making room for a veteran like him isn’t a crazy idea. Especially when you recognize the fact that the Canadiens’ defense is very young. Matheson is valuable to the Canadiens. His role will diminish (possibly even more so after the arrival of Noah Dobson), but we’re still talking about a player who helps the team in his own way. Last season, he was particularly useful on the power play, and he’s likely to have a similar role this year too. If he can produce offensively, on top of all that… [content-ads] Matheson is said to be in talks with the Habs… but the same can be said of David Savard. No, it wouldn’t be in the context of a return to the ice. But the former Canadiens defenseman, who retired at the end of last season, admitted to Kevin Dubé(Journal de Québec): there may be a position waiting for him with the Canadiens at some point. We’ve had a lot of conversations, and nothing’s closed yet. – David Savard The Journal de Québec article was published on the TVA Sports site (and Habs and NHL also wrote on the subject): It’s not the first time we’ve heard about this, but it’s interesting nonetheless. Because it shows one thing: there really seems to be an interest on the part of the defenseman and the organization to find something for him. Savard was on the ice with the Quebec Remparts on Tuesday, and it’s worth remembering that he’ s associated with 44 seconds, a consulting firm that helps junior and professional defensemen. Clearly, he’s still interested in staying in the hockey world. And so much the better, if the Canadiens are able to find a role for him within the organization [spacer title=’Overtime’] – It’s true that we’re talking about a beautiful amphitheatre. – The – He knows what he has to do. – Happy reading,
Kyle Shanahan has surprising Brock Purdy update — 49ers are confident in QB situation regardless
Brock Purdy missed the San Francisco 49ers' Week 2 win over the New Orleans Saints with a toe and left shoulder injury he suffered in Week 1. At the time, there was a chance that the injury could keep the quarterback out multiple weeks, but now head coach Kyle Shanahan has provided what seems to be a positive update for this weekend's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Kyle Shanahan provides key update on Brock Purdy "He wasn't limited last week," Shanahan said. "He does have a chance [to play]," Shanahan said on Wednesday, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. According to Wagoner's reporting, of the two injuries, the toe issue seems to be more significant, and it was considered the main reason Purdy didn't play in Week 2. It's similar to turf toe. He was in the 49ers' locker room after that game, though, and he told reporters that his status for the Week 3 game was, "we'll see." Connect those dots and it sounds like, at the very least, Purdy feels hopeful about his chances. If he's not fully back and able to go, he could also at least suit up and act as a backup for Mac Jones. San Francisco 49ers confident in Brock Purdy's backup If Purdy is out for the second straight week, Jones proved against the Saints that he can lead this team to a victory. The former first-round pick of the New England Patriots completed 26 of 39 passes against New Orleans for 279 yards and three touchdowns. On Monday, running back Christian McCaffrey was among the players in the locker room who expressed confidence in Jones. "In this league, whether or not you're a starter or a backup, you got to be ready to go at any point," McCaffrey said, per Wagoner. "In the NFL, you just never know. It's such a talented league and so many great players on the field. And Mac obviously is somebody who's proven himself already, but to have him as our backup is huge." Out of Alabama, Jones was selected with pick No. 15 in the 2021 NFL Draft as the "heir apparent" to Tom Brady in the final years of the Bill Belichick era in New England. He flashed talent but was never able to be consistent. He also had incredibly big shoes to fill, so a case could be made that he was doomed to fail from the very start of his NFL career. Jones started 42 games for the Patriots over three seasons, and he threw for 8,918 yards and 46 touchdowns compared to 36 interceptions. He's on a two-year, $8.4 million deal with the 49ers after spending the 2024 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Derrick Harmon injury update: Steelers reveal DT’s status on Thursday practice report
The Pittsburgh Steelers released their practice report for Thursday, and defensive tackle Derrick Harmon seems to be getting closer to making his NFL debut. It was revealed that Harmon, who has a knee injury, was limited in practice on Thursday. This was the second straight day Harmon was a limited participant in practice. Derrick Harmon has yet to play this season, missing the first two games after suffering a knee injury against the Carolina Panthers in the preseason finale. While speaking to reporters, Harmon said he’s ready to make an impact on the Steelers’ defense. “I’m ready to go,” Harmon said, per the Steelers’ official website. “If my number’s called, I’m ready to go.” The injury could be a blessing in disguise for Harmon. The former Oregon defensive lineman has had the opportunity to learn more about the NFL and what to expect when he gets on the field for the first time. “Really just different schemes, how offenses attack the defense,” Harmon stated. “Things we work on, parts of the unit. And how we can compete at a higher level. Derrick Harmon is ‘staying on top of my game’ “I’ve been in every meeting, every walkthrough, every practice, even though I’m not out there participating. But just learning the schemes and learning the type of defense. We’re putting in new defenses. It’s staying the course and staying on top of my game.” Of the players listed on the practice report, Harmon was the only one who was a limited participant. Four Steelers did not practice on Thursday due to injuries, and those players were cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (hamstring), safety DeShon Elliott (knee), linebacker Alex Highsmith (ankle), and offensive lineman Max Scharping (knee). Wide receiver DK Metcalf also didn’t practice, but it was a veteran resting day for him. Linebacker Patrick Queen (resting vet), cornerback Darius Slay (resting vet), and linebacker TJ Watt (resting vet) were full participants at practice. All three should be ready to go on Sunday when the Steelers take on the New England Patriots. The Steelers are coming off a 31-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. They kicked off the season with a 34-32 victory over the New York Jets.
Robert Redford ‘died carrying intense sadness over his son’s cancer death’
Robert Redford died carrying an “intense sadness” over his son’s cancer death, his former neighbours have revealed. The Oscar-winning actor and director died this week at his home in Sundance, Utah, aged 89, and his ex- neighbours in Tiburon have opened up about his inner torment in his final years as they recalled how he struggled to come to terms with the death of his boy. Robert, born on 18 August 1936, lived for several years in the Bay Area town of Tiburon with his wife, Sibylle Szaggars, 68. Locals have now told the Daily Mail even though the actor was warm and gracious, he was also marked by grief following the death of his son James in 2020. A waiter at a bayside restaurant told the Mail: “He was one of my best customers and he came weekly. “Bob, as we called him, would sit at the same round table every week with his wife and friends and he was incredibly gracious. “He talked to the staff and was personable, he asked questions and was interested in everyone. But there was an intense sadness to him after his son died a few years ago.” The waiter added: “Bob talked about how much he missed his son, it was a heartbreaking thing for him. He felt like a part of him had been lost, it was hard for him to live without his boy. It took a toll on him to see his son die like that.” James Redford died of cancer in October 2020 at the age of 58. He had been diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis in the early 1990s, a chronic disease of the liver and bile ducts. He underwent two liver transplants before founding the James Redford Institute for Transplant Awareness. His documentary The Kindness of Strangers, released in 1999, focused on the lives of organ donors and recipients. Robert had already faced tragedy decades earlier. With his first wife Lola Van Wagenen he lost their first child Scott to sudden infant death syndrome at just two months old in 1959. In a 2017 interview with Esquire UK, he reflected: “I was only 21; my wife was 20. We were just starting our lives. “I was just starting my career in New York. Of course it was traumatic, and how that plays out over time, I don’t know. We had to deal with it. You have to move on. “And we had other children who came. But something like that doesn’t get completely dismissed. It probably shows up in various small ways you’re not even aware of.” Locals in Tiburon also said the loss of James weighed heavily on him in his final years. Residents recalled him walking the town’s trails, talking about plants and flowers, but carrying a visible grief. One acquaintance told the Mail: “Hiking was a big deal for Bob when he was younger, he walked the trails all the time and knew the name of every flower and plant.” Another added: “He liked to walk around Tiburon and would say hello and wave to locals. He always had a cap and sunglasses on but everyone knew it was Robert Redford.”
