Ryan Reaves and Paul Bissonnette's stats compared
While both players filled enforcer roles during their NHL careers, the numbers tell a different story. Reaves has suited up for over 900 games, tallying 63 goals and 137 points. Bissonnette, by contrast, played just 202 games and finished with 22 points.
The stark contrast made Reaves' roast more than just a casual chirp; a career of consistent presence on the ice backed it. Fans were quick to react, pointing out that Reaves not only backed his talk but did so in a way that was entertaining, on-brand, and undeniably accurate.

USA Track and Field Championships 2025 — Jefferson-Wooden, Bednarek blaze to 100m titles
Melissa Jefferson-Wooden and Kenny Bednarek blazed to victories in the 100m at the US Championships in Oregon on Friday, punching their tickets to Tokyo's World Championships in blistering fashion. Rising US star Jefferson-Wooden produced a scintillating display of controlled sprinting in the women's 100m at Eugene's Hayward Field, scorching over the line in a world-leading 10.65 seconds. Jefferson-Wooden's time put her into elite company, tied alongside Marion Jones, Shericka Jackson and reigning 100m world champion Sha'Carri Richardson as the fifth-fastest woman ever. The 24-year-old from South Carolina now looks the firm favourite for the World Championships in Japan, where she will be chasing her first major title, following a 100m bronze medal at the Paris Olympics last season.

'It's surreal. It doesn't actually sound real. You look at all these races, all these amazing women who have accomplished these things — me being part of that list is actually kind of crazy.'

T'Mars McCallum was third in 9.83 seconds while Trayvon Bromell was fourth in 9.84 seconds. 'I'm happy with the time, happy with the performance,' Bednarek said. 'I definitely have way more in the tank. I already knew I was in this kind of shape – I just needed to let one rip, and I did.' Cramping drama Bednarek revealed, though, that his race had nearly unravelled after he began cramping mid-race. He said he had scarcely had time to react to the problem before powering home. 'When something like that happens, you say 'Screw it, I'm going,'' Bednarek said. 'You just gotta keep going.' However, there was disappointment for 2019 world champion Christian Coleman, who finished fifth and missed the Tokyo qualification places. Coleman qualified for Friday's final just hours after news emerged girlfriend, Richardson, had allegedly assaulted him at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Sunday. Elsewhere on Friday, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone hinted she is ready to carry her dominance of the 400m hurdles into the 400m flat with an imperious victory in the opening heats. The 25-year-old has been unbeaten over the 400m hurdles since 2019, winning back-to-back Olympic gold medals as well as a 2022 World Championship gold. McLaughlin-Levrone was always in control on Friday, finishing first in her semifinal heat in a time of 49.59 seconds, several meters clear of the next racer, Lynna Irby-Jackson, who finished in 50.59 seconds. | Photo Credit: AP However, McLaughlin-Levrone is focusing on the 400m at the US Championships, apparently opting to skip the 400m hurdles at the Tokyo World Championships.

Despite the setback, which ended her hopes of qualifying for the World Championships, Mu-Nikolayev is optimistic she can compete at the highest level again. 'I think that's helpful for what I need going for (the) next couple of years. Everything's not going to be pretty, everything's not going to be perfect,' she said.

NFL in shock: Antonio Brown accuses Browns owner Jimmy Haslam of breaking draft pact on Shedeur Sanders
Antonio Brown claims Jimmy Haslam broke secret draft to pick Shedeur Sanders (Image credits: IG/X) The NFL world is buzzing after Antonio Brown claimed Browns owner Jimmy Haslam broke a behind-the-scenes agreement not to draft quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The bombshell accusation comes amid growing speculation that Sanders' surprising fall in the 2025 NFL Draft wasn't just football-related. Despite a standout college season, the Colorado QB dropped deep into the draft pool, raising eyebrows across the league. Now, questions about a possible coordinated freeze-out are gaining serious traction. Antonio Brown's allegation sparks fresh NFL conspiracy talk Brown, the former NFL star known for his drama-filled post-retirement life, alleged that Haslam defied a pact among NFL teams to avoid Shedeur. 'Jimmy doesn't want to publicly admit he broke the agreement between the 31 other teams,' Brown said, hinting at a secretive plan to pass over Sanders. As of now, the NFL has not commented on the claim, and no official record of such an agreement has surfaced. Jimmy Haslam tries to cool the heat with a deflection In a training camp media interaction on July 29, Haslam attempted to shift the spotlight away from himself, placing full responsibility on his general manager. 'That's Andrew Berry's call,' Haslam stated. 'Andrew made the call to pick Shedeur… that was Andrew's call.' He also clarified that play-calling and starter decisions rest with head coach Kevin Stefanski. The public distancing has only intensified speculation about the nature of Shedeur's selection. Draft-Day slide leaves analysts searching for answers Shedeur Sanders entered the 2025 draft with an elite NCAA résumé, yet somehow slipped past several quarterback-needy teams. With 4,134 passing yards, 37 touchdowns, and just 10 interceptions on 477 attempts at a 74% completion rate, his performance spoke volumes. He also added four rushing touchdowns, though negative rushing yardage (-50) due to sacks became a talking point. Still, his raw stats make it hard to justify such a slide without other factors in play. Deion Sanders' influence may have complicated the picture Analysts and fans alike are now questioning whether Shedeur's draft journey was shaped more by politics than performance. Many believe the outspoken and unconventional coaching style of his father, Deion Sanders, may have turned some franchises off. From bold media statements to social media visibility, the elder Sanders has never shied away from the spotlight. Teams may have feared bringing that level of public attention and unpredictability into their locker rooms.
