Victoire sign F Shiann Darkangelo to 2-year deal
Terms were not disclosed for Darkangelo, who recorded 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) and a plus-6 rating in 29 games with the Ottawa Charge last season.
"A proven leader on and off the ice, Shiann brings the championship experience every team needs," Victoire general manager Daniele Sauvageau said. "A reliable two-way center, she excels in all three zones and contributes in every special team situation, making her a versatile player."
Darkangelo, 31, began her PWHL career in Boston during the inaugural season before being traded to the Charge in March 2024.
"I am thrilled to be joining Montreal and grateful for the opportunity to represent such a passionate city and fan base," Darkangelo said. "I'm looking forward to being part of a great group of teammates and can't wait for the season to start."

Andrey Rublev, Frances Tiafoe earn third-round wins in Toronto
August 2 - Sixth-seeded Andrey Rublev of Russia shrugged off a first-set loss to defeat No. 28 Lorenzo Sonego of Italy 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 in third-round action on Friday at the National Bank Open in Toronto. Rublev had six aces among 29 winners in the victory. "The main thing today, I was able to be mentally really good," Rublev told the Tennis Channel. "After the first set, I didn't (go) down. I was, like, OK, let's keep fighting, keep being positive ... then I was able to create more things, like to go to the net." Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina pulled off an upset as the No. 20 seed knocked out 12th-seeded Jakub Mensik of Czechia 6-2, 6-4. The Spaniard converted all four of his break points as he won 49.1 percent of his returns (28 of 57) compared to Mensik's 29.2 percent (14 of 48). His reward is a fourth-round match versus Rublev. Czechia's Jiri Lehecka earned the day's other upset as the No. 19 seed rallied to take down No. 15 Arthur Fils of France by a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 count. Lehecka stacked up 12 aces to Fils' three on the hard court. No. 7 Frances Tiafoe beat Australia's Aleksandar Vukic 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 to advance to a fourth-round match with another Aussie, ninth-seeded Alex de Minaur, on Sunday. No. 13 Flavio Cobolli of Italy maxed out his serve at 135 mph during his 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 victory over Hungary's Fabian Maroszan. --Field Level Media

ESPN reportedly selling equity stake for RedZone and other NFL properties
ESPN has reached a deal with the NFL to purchase RedZone, NFL Network and other league holdings, the Athletic reported on Friday. The NFL will receive equity in ESPN that 'is potentially worth billions' in exchange, according to the report. An official announcement is expected next week, ending a four-year period of complicated, on-and-off negotiations. Both sides declined to provide comment to the Athletic. In addition to RedZone and NFL Network, ESPN will gain access to seven more regular-season games and the NFL's fantasy football operations, as well as the potential to integrate sports betting and other special features. The NFL's equity stake in ESPN could be as much as 10%, CNBC first reported and the Athletic confirmed. An ESPN-NFL deal would require regulatory approval, a process that could take up to a year to complete. The two sides already have a cozy relationship. ESPN pays the NFL about $2.7bn per year to air a total of 25 games, including Monday Night Football. The network also holds the rights to the Super Bowls in 2027 and 2031. Friday's reported agreement comes as ESPN is preparing to launch its direct-to-consumer service, with subscribers paying $29.99 per month to bypass cable and satellite providers to view all of the network's programming through the ESPN app.

Blue Jays put OF George Springer on concussion list
August 2 - The Toronto Blue Jays placed slugging outfielder George Springer on the 7-day concussion list Friday, four nights after he was hit in the head with a pitch. The move was made before Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. It is retroactive to Tuesday. Springer was plunked by Orioles right-hander Kade Strowd during Monday's 11-4 loss to Baltimore. Springer was face down on the ground for more than a minute, but he remained alert before eventually being helped off the field. Springer, 35, is batting .291 with 18 homers and 57 RBIs in 101 games this season -- the four-time All-Star's best showing as a hitter since 2021. Toronto also activated center fielder Daulton Varsho (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list. Varsho last played for the Blue Jays on May 31 when he was injured while trying to leg out a triple against the Athletics. Varsho, 29, is batting .207 with eight homers and 20 RBIs in 24 games. The Blue Jays also optioned right-hander Paxton Schultz to Triple-A Buffalo. The 27-year-old owns a 4.56 ERA in 12 appearances (two starts) for Toronto this season. --Field Level Media
