NHL rumors: Blue Jackets fans won't love Pierre LeBrun's Adam Fantilli update appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Members of the Columbus Blue Jackets are set to arrive for camp on September 16, with the first on-ice workouts scheduled for the next day. Earlier on Monday, the Blue Jackets added Cam Talbot to the team, bringing in another netminder for camp.
Still, there is one player on the roster who may not be on the ice on September 17. Adam Fantilli is still without a contract from the team, and talks with the restricted free agent are going slowly, according to Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic.
"Adam Fantilli remained unsigned Monday ahead of Blue Jackets camp opening this week. The sides continue to talk, which is good, but there's a sizeable gap to overcome. 'Very slow' was how one source described things," LeBrun wrote. "That negotiation needs a positive uptick. The slowness certainly hasn't been for a lack of effort from either side this summer. There have been offers and counter-offers, but they're just not there yet."

VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) — Austyn Modrzewski threw three touchdown passes, Charles Pierre Jr. ran for two and Tennel Bryant had two scoring receptions as South Dakota rolled past Eastern Washington 41-23 on Saturday.

Ligue 1 McDonald's, Matchday 4, 11/09/26
Adrien Thomasson's second-half goal is enough for Rennes to secure a third straight win to go top of Ligue 1. Meanwhile, Bruno Genesio's Marseille woes deepened with a third consecutive loss.
The Match
Marseille returned to Rennes' Roazhon Park for the first time since the infamous dressing room brawl between Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe. So much has changed since for Les Phocéens, including the manager with Bruno Genesio making his return in Brittany after coaching Les Rouge et Noir between 2021 and 2023. Both teams were on opposite momentums. Rennes were targeting top spot whereas Marseille looked to avert a third straight Ligue 1 loss.
Still, Marseille put on a good show in the first half, playing with the handbrake off but without losing team structure. Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg pulled the strings from midfield, and Marseille's wide men put Rennes on the backfoot. Up front, the hosts were toothless. The attackers looked like they played together for the first time, leaving Estéban Lepaul in no man's land.

Manchester United have struggled to keep out goals this season after opting against reinforcing their backline over the summer. The Red Devils have already conceded six goals in their opening three Premier League games.
The English giants are likely to consider defensive reinforcements in 2027 after concentrating almost entirely on the midfield this summer. A new centre-back could be on the agenda, with Harry Maguire no longer young and Matthijs de Ligt sidelined since last December.
A previous report relayed by The Peoples Person has named Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu as a solution to United's defensive woes. The Frenchman is coming off a solid 2025/26 campaign, during which he registered two goals and seven **** ists in 49 appearances.
Kalulu has featured at centre-back as well as right-back for the Bianconeri so far and his versatility makes him a lucrative option for the Red Devils. An update on the situation has now emerged that will delight United fans.

One of the bigger question marks entering Detroit Red Wings training camp is seemingly answered − for now, at least.
Defenseman Simon Edvinsson, a restricted free agent, intends to report to camp even if he doesn't have a new deal, according to a report from The Athletic hockey insider Pierre LeBrun. LeBrun goes on to say Edvinsson is "patiently waiting for the Red Wings GM situation to iron itself out before resuming negotiations."
Edvinsson had 25 points (nine goals) in 72 games played this past season and finished with a plus-12.
Edvinsson should see a huge payday. Bowen Byram, the No. 4 overall pick from 2019, just received an extension from the Blackhawks with a hefty $12.5 million cap hit. The Wings can ill afford Edvinsson (No. 6 pick in 2021) to be on the sidelines awaiting a new contract when their season begins, as he is one of their top workhorses.
But who will hammer out that deal? That still remains to be seen, as the Red Wings are about a week away from the start camp (Sept. 17) and they still do not have a general manager. Steve Yzerman parted ways from the position on July 15, moving into a senior advisor role.

Juventus had won their first two games of the season, but it would be entirely fair to say that they had come close to leaving those matches ruing missed opportunities. Each of them could've been put away long time before they were, and indeed one of the major talking points headed into Sunday's matchup against AC Milan was the fact that the Bianconeri had gotten the results without reaching the level of performance they desired. Milan were in the same boat, winning two straight under new manager Ruben Amorim but not convincing in either. It felt as though the team that managed to perform better would be the likelier to come out of the Allianz on top.
It was ultimately Juve that had the better of a game that was equal parts chaotic and sloppy. But once again they failed to take advantage of their performances. They failed to make the most of the chances they made over the game's first 70 minutes before Milan scored on — stop me if you've heard this one before — their first shot on target of the match. It took until the second minute of stoppage time for Juve to finally even things out, when Federico Gatti powered home a Teun Koopmeiners cross from six yards to earn the Old Lady a 1-1 draw.
The problems for Juventus were the same as we've talked about all season so far. The finishing wasn't nearly good enough, the passing was disjointed and often inaccurate, and overall creativity seemed to be lacking. But in spite of all of that, they can honestly say that they were the better of the two sides and deserved victory — even more so when you consider the fact that Milan's goal really should've been disallowed for a foul in the buildup that was never flagged by VAR. Considering they were missing seven players due to injury, several of whom were extremely important, it's far too early to start abandoning hope of a successful year—provided they make the improvements that their play so far suggest is possible.
Luciano Spalletti was missing Kenan Yildiz, Weston McKennie, Khéphren Thuram, Andrea Cambiaso, Jeff Ekhator, Juan Cabal, and Pape Matar Sarr. His 4-2-3-1 formation gave several players their first starts of the year. Guglielmo Vicario started behind the back four of Pierre Kalulu, Bremer, Jhon Lucumí, and Zeki Celik. Manuel Locatelli and Douglas Luiz started in the middle of the park, while Francisco Conceição joined Nico González and Kerim Alajbegovic behind Randal Kolo Muani in attack.
Amorim missed Matteo Gabbia due to an ankle injury, but returned a few players to the starting lineup who had been eased back into things after long World Cup runs. Mike Maignan started in goal, ahead of a 3-4-2-1 setup that was a slight tweak to Amorim's usual 3-4-3. Former Juve prospect Koni De Winter joined Strahinja Pavolovic and Mario Gila in defense. Big-money signing Diego Moreira got his first start of the season opposite Pervis Estupiñán at the wing-back spots, while Luka Modric and Yunis Musah manned the double pivot. Adrien Rabiot joined Alexis Saele

Ruben Amorim admits Milan 'didn't deserve to win, or more like Juventus didn't deserve to lose' after their 1-1 draw in Turin. 'We need to move more and be braver.'
The Rossoneri had struggled to create any genuine scoring opportunities in Turin and thanked first Mike Maignan, then the frame of the goal for keeping out Francisco Conceicao.

Substitute Alphadjo Cisse gave them the lead somewhat against the run of play with a well-taken angled drive through Pierre Kalulu's legs, but in stoppages Federico Gatti nodded in the Teun Koopmeiners cross for the late equaliser.
It means both Milan and Juventus lose their 100 per cent start to the Serie A season, dropping points in this head-to-head.

Kimi Antonelli's stunning victory in the Italian Grand Prix from 19th on the grid will go down in Formula 1 folklore - and, remarkably, his team boss Toto Wolff said that he had seen it coming on Saturday.
After Sunday's race, Wolff said that beforehand he thought that one of his two drivers was going to be standing on the top of the podium.
It was an eye-opening statement given they started the race 17 places apart on the grid, George Russell on the front row alongside shock pole winner Pierre Gasly's Alpine; Antonelli on the penultimate row.
"I thought one of the two is going to win," Wolff said. "Either George, because he was on the front row, or Kimi because he's going to walk over water, here at Monza. And I felt that yesterday also."
Wolff was asked to explain why he felt a performance he was comparing to a miracle was on the cards.

Round 14 of the 2026 Formula 1 season heads to the new Madring circuit, for the Spanish Grand Prix, from 11-13 September.
Championship leader Kimi Antonelli came back from 19th on the grid for a spectacular win in front of his home fans at the Italian Grand Prix.
In another surprise during the weekend, Alpine's Pierre Gasly managed to secure the first pole position of his career on Saturday.
Antonelli was joined by his Mercedes team-mate George Russell on the Monza podium, with Red Bull's Max Verstappen third.
It was a disappointing weekend for Ferrari, with Charles Leclerc crashing out of the race and Lewis Hamilton finishing sixth.

For the vast majority of the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, George Russell appeared completely in control of his own destiny. After pulling off a sharp opening-lap move on pole-sitter Pierre Gasly and surviving the Lap 3 red flag triggered by Charles Leclerc's crash, the Mercedes driver looked poised to convert his front-row start into a commanding victory at the Temple of Speed.
Instead, a critical strategic gamble under a late Virtual Safety Car completely upended the race, leaving Russell defenseless on fading rubber while his teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli charged from the back of the grid to **** the win.
Mercedes opted for an extreme tire management strategy with Russell, keeping him out on a single set of hard compound tires following the early race stoppage. But when a late Virtual Safety Car period neutralized the field, the Silver Arrows pit wall was forced to make a high-stakes tactical call: preserve track position or pit for fresher, faster rubber.
While Russell remained out on track to protect the race lead, Antonelli and Red Bull's Max Verstappen both dove into the pits for fresh tires. The stark difference in grip proved decisive in the final laps, as Antonelli rapidly eliminated the gap and swept past Russell to claim an astonishing victory from 19th on the grid.
Speaking post-race, Russell admitted he never expected the team to bring Antonelli in.

Going into the Italian Grand Prix, of all the storylines and narratives being composed, absolutely none of them involved Pierre Gasly and Alpine.
That's not dismissive of the French driver or the Enstone team, but Ferrari competing on home soil with a decent chance of victory and an Italian in Kimi Antonelli leading the championship was always going to take every column inch available this weekend.
So, when the FIA Court of Appeal report dropped at the start of first practice at Monza to inform the world that Gasly had lost his Monaco GP podium, a new and unexpected theme emerged. And then it snowballed.
First there was Flavio Briatore's questioning of the integrity of one of the judges, Filippo Marchino, about connections to McLaren – one of the lead proponents in the appeal – which McLaren team principal Andrea Stella vehemently took offence to, then there was the FIA Court of Appeal statement to dismiss comments of impartiality.

Even with significant roster turnover, Alabama has high hopes after coach Kalen DeBoer led the Crimson Tide to the national quarterfinals last season.
Receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams, known as Ryan Williams his first two years, is back as potentially one of the nation's most explosive receivers. He's the only returning offensive starter for the Crimson Tide. Keelon Russell won the starting quarterback job in fall camp and will replace Ty Simpson.
Linebacker Yhonzae Pierre is back to lead what should be a stout defense. He led Alabama with 14.5 tackles for loss, eight sacks and nine quarterback pressures last season. Zabien Brown, the team's top cornerback, had two interception returns for touchdowns a year ago.

Crystal Palace boss Pierre Sage admitted he was unhappy with his side's defensive display despite their 3-2 victory over Fulham.
Palace secured all three points in a closely fought contest thanks to a double from Tyrick Mitchell and winner from substitute Ben Chilwell.
But Sage acknowledged Fulham had enough chances to win the game and believes his side have plenty to improve on.
"The result is positive but I am aware of the game, but sometimes it is like this, you have to take the points," Sage said.
"We didn't play as we expected, I'm happy but disappointed for the other team and the coach because they had opportunities [to win] too.

Well after one half, how are we feeling?
Alabama entered this game determined to show they could run the football after an entire off-season of questions about it, and the trio of Daniel Hill, EJ Crowell, and Trae'Shawn Brown all looked to have a bit of juice that ****** ody showed a year ago with Hill rushing for for two TDs and Crowell picking up a 3rd. The rebuilt OL was opening a whole lot of holes right up the middle, though they struggled on some stretch runs.
At QB, Keelon Russell has been as advertised, constantly moving the chains with both his arm and his legs. He had a couple of first-year guy mistakes, but overall handled all kinds of pressure very well, and converted multiple 4th downs with some impressive throws.
Ryan Coleman-Williams and Kaleb Edwards both had a couple of drops each, but RCW did get things rolling near the end of the half with three good catches. Derek Meadows also has a really nice catch.
Defensively, the Tide defense wasn't on the field a whole lot. They had one coverage bust at the start and gave up a long touchdown, but otherwise the ECU offense has gone backwards as often as they're gone forward. Yhonzae Pierre even got a pick six.

McLaren and Red Bull have won their appeals against the result of the Monaco Grand Prix after a controversy over multiple incorrect pit-lane speeding penalties.
The victory means Alpine's Pierre Gasly loses the podium he was awarded after an appeal by his French team that overturned two five-second penalties.
Gasly, who finished third on the road, is dropped back to the seventh place he received in the official results.
Alpine, unlike the other teams involved, did not serve the penalties in the race because they believed they had been applied incorrectly.
Red Bull's Isack Hadjar is returned to third place and McLaren's Oscar Piastri fourth, with Racing Bulls' Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad moving up to fifth and sixth.

Pierre Sage insisted Ismaila Sarr needs time to "digest" his failed move to Liverpool and revealed that Jean-Philippe Mateta will be out for at least three weeks.
Sarr and Mateta have both been linked with moves away from the club this summer, and are currently both injured.
The winger has not played this season because of a hip injury, while the French forward has been out with a hamstring injury. Sage gave an update on both players.
"Like every bad situation, time does the job and we need time for that," he said on Sarr. "He needs time too. First of all he needs to recover because he was and is injured. He is our player and we are happy with that.
"Sarr has to digest it for sure because it's a dream for a lot of players to play with this kind of club [Liverpool]. He had a good opportunity but in the end it didn't work. If he wants to continue, you have to have a good season with us as he did last year. We know he needs time"

Alabama basketball has made two changes to Crimson Tide coach Nate Oats' support staff, including the return of a familiar face to Tuscaloosa.
Alex Accetta has been hired as director of program relations, per an announcement from UA on Thursday, September 3. Accetta previously worked with Alabama men's hoops from 2015 to 2022, starting as a student **** istant before becoming the program's operations coordinator in 2017 and director of operations in 2021. In 2022, she left Alabama for a guest experience role with the NBA's Dallas Mavericks.
The news of Accetta's hire comes shortly after she and Oats married on July 26, 2026.
Josh Pierre, meanwhile, moves from director of basketball operations to director of player development, inheriting the role once held by Christian Pino, who came with Oats from Buffalo and is now on Bryan Hodgson's staff at Providence as a recruiting coordinator.
Pierre has been at Alabama since 2022 after previous stops at Elon, Mississippi State and Arkansas State.

Gabon captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has announced that he is stepping back from the national team, saying he felt "humiliated" by his exclusion and subsequent reinstatement after the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.
The top scorer in the history of the Panthers was singled out by the Gabonese government as responsible for the AFCON failure.
"They humiliated and smeared me even though I played at the AFCON while injured," the 37-year-old said in a television interview.
"This is the last straw, and I'd rather stop here."
Gabon were eliminated from the AFCON in the group stage after three defeats, the last of which came against Ivory Coast.

Sunderland have moved decisively to land Malick Fofana, beating Crystal Palace to one of the more closely watched attacking deals of the window. As reported by The Athletic, Sunderland have now pushed the agreement over the line after the player weighed up both options, with the Belgium international completing a medical ahead of signing a five-year contract until 2031.
This feels like a significant piece of business for Sunderland. Palace had made a serious attempt to hijack the move, and there was clear logic to their pursuit. Pierre Sage, now Palace manager, previously coached Fofana at Lyon and was "seen as key to the south London side entering the race for the 21-year-old's signature". Even so, Sunderland have come out on top.
The numbers underline the scale of the commitment. Sunderland will pay "a €30million upfront fee for Fofana plus €6m in potential add-ons". For a club newly back in the Premier League, that is an ****** ertive investment in high-level potential and immediate attacking quality.
Fofana's profile explains why there was such strong interest. ****** nal were "weighing up a move for Fofana", while Chelsea had previously made "a verbal enquiry" and Everton "held talks over a possible move". Sunderland have effectively won a competitive market for a player still only 21.
His output suggests real upside. Fofana has scored 19 goals and supplied eight ****** ists in 84 games for Lyon, after producing five goals and ten ****** ists in 64 senior appearances for Genk. There has been a setback, with "an ankle injury halted his progress and limited him to just 16 appearances last season", but he has "already scored two goals in six games for the French side this term".

Crystal Palace Palace have completed the signing of Chile international Darío Osorio from Midtjylland an initial season-long loan with an option to buy.
The 22-year-old winger becomes one of three late additions for Palace, alongside Ben Chilwell and Quinten Timber, as Pierre Sage strengthens his squad for the Premier League and Europa League campaigns.
Osorio has established himself as an important player at Midtjylland since arriving from Universidad de Chile in 2023. He made 121 appearances for the Danish club, scoring 25 goals and providing 18 **** ists while helping them win two domestic trophies.
The right-sided attacker has also made a strong start to the 2026/27 season, registering two goals and three **** ists in 11 appearances. He has earned 22 senior caps for Chile since making his international debut in 2022.

Celine Dion is serving up yet another street-style moment, departing her hotel in Paris today, where she was greeted by her adoring fans.
Pierre Suu/GC Images
The singer wore a Loewe Fall 2026 black dress featuring a sculpted leather bodice and asymmetric shearling-trimmed skirt, a look we first saw on Loewe ambassador Kara Wai back in June.
The silhouette is incredibly modern, particularly the contrast between the sculpted upper half and that exaggerated shearling hem. But this is Celine Dion leaving her Paris hotel, where the pavement has long been her runway. We wouldn't expect anything less.
This latest run of Paris looks also feels different from the fashion extravaganza we became accustomed to during Celine's time working with Law Roach. Reunited with her longtime stylist Annie Horth, who worked with Celine long before that partnership, she appears to have returned to a quieter register.
