After suffering key losses, the Philadelphia Eagles are reinforcing stability in their front office, signing assistant general manager Jon Ferrari and senior advisor to the GM/chief security officer/gameday coaching operations, Dom DiSandro, to contract extensions, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer.The moves come during a period of transition within Philadelphias football operations and personnel departments. While Ferrari and DiSandro remain key pillars internally, the organization is expected to make additional staffing adjustments in the near future.Ferrari has played an important role in the Eagles personnel structure, working closely with general manager Howie Roseman on roster construction and long-term planning. Meanwhile, DiSandro continues to serve as one of the franchises most trusted behind-the-scenes figures, wearing multiple hats that impact security, logistics, and gameday operations.The extensions arrive shortly after two notable departures. Assistant GM Alec Halaby, a respected voice in analytics and roster strategy, and salary cap specialist Bryce Johnston both moved on, creating openings within the organizations infrastructure.By locking in Ferrari and DiSandro, Philadelphia maintains continuity in critical areas while preparing for further changes. As the Eagles continue to recalibrate their front office, these extensions signal a commitment to keeping trusted leadership in place during an evolving offseason.This article originally appeared on Eagles Wire: Eagles sign John Ferrari, Dom DiSandro to extensions, more moves loom

LONDON (AP) Julian Alvarez is set to return from injury for Atletico Madrid for the second-leg semifinal against Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday.The Argentina striker scored Atletico's equalizer from the penalty spot in last week's first leg, which finished 1-1, but didn't finish the match. He then did not feature at all in the 2-0 win at Valencia in La Liga on Saturday.However, the former Manchester City player, who has scored 20 times for the team this season, travelled to London on Monday and appeared to be available.Julian Alvarez is important in this game because he knows the English league very well," Atletico coach Diego Simeone said. He played really well last week, and I hope he can bring what he needs in the game tomorrow."Hotel switchAtletico's players are in a different hotel to the one they stayed in when they came over for a 4-0 loss to Arsenal in the league phase in October.Simeone was asked about the switch, amid reports the Argentine coach ordered it on the belief that using the same base could bring his players bad luck.The hotel was cheaper," he said with a smile.

In sports betting, customers are quite accustomed to betting on the usual markets: the spread, moneyline and total. Whether its the full game, first half, second half, quarters or more. But with all the technological advancements over the past several years, the menu is now massive. That includes the ability to bet on a wider variety of alternate point spreads. A BetMGM customer took that option to the limit and almost got taken to the cleaners. But the bettor ended up winning big on the NBA playoffs last week. More on that ladder of wagers, a 90-cent bet that went yard, a huge Champions League hit and more, as we recap the week that was in sports betting.

Alternate Reality Heading into Game 5 of their first-round series against the Nuggets, the Timberwolves were quite shorthanded. The starting backcourt of Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo was not in the mix. Both got hurt in Game 4, Edwards with a hyperextended knee (though he could return in these playoffs) and DiVincenzo with a season-ending torn Achilles. So no surprise, Denver was a healthy 11.5-point home favorite last Monday. A BetMGM high-roller decided to put $10,000 on Minnesota +11.5, to win approximately $9,100 (total payout $19,100). Then the bettor decided to go all-in on a bunch of Timberwolves alternate point spreads: +12.5, +13.5, +14.5, +15.5, +16.5 and +17.5. Seven bets in all, totaling a whopping $375,000, just banking on Minnesota to stay within the range of all those numbers. The bettor then got a monster sweat. Entering the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves were down 97-75. So at that moment, all seven bets were losers. With 6:57 remaining, Minnesota trailed 107-88. Thats a 19-point gap. Not good. The T-Wolves then made a charge to get within 111-101 with 4:38 remaining. All of a sudden, all seven bets were in winning range. Then the Nuggets responded with a 10-2 run to go up 121-103 with 2:53 left, putting the entire $375,000 at risk once again. But the Timberwolves finished with a 10-4 run, losing 125-113. That made six of the seven bets winners. The only loser was on the smallest bet this person made. Even with that $10,000 loser, the customer bagged a huge profit, turning the other $365,000 in wagers into $196,500 in profit (total payout $561,500). Dimes to Dollars Theres been a lot written in this space about betting responsible amounts on parlays. Dont get carried away, or you might get carried out. A Fanatics Sportsbook customer heeded that advice, perhaps to an extreme. The bettor put all of 90 cents on a four-leg parlay of players to hit one or more home runs. The ticket was on last Mondays MLB slate: Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered in the fourth inning of the Yankees 4-2 win over the Rangers. The Cubs Seiya Suzuki and Moises Ballesteros went yard in the second and third innings, respectively, with Ballesteros belting a grand slam, though Chicago ultimately lost to the Padres 9-7. The longest wait for the bettor was on the Angels Jorge Soler, who homered in the seventh inning of an 8-7 loss to the White Sox. At long-shot odds of +116996 or almost 1170/1 those nine dimes turned into $1,053.86. Not a bad nights ROI. Soccer Score With the World Cup on tap this summer on FOX networks, by the way bettors are taking more of an interest in soccer. In some cases, massive interest. Last Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain met Bayern Munich in the first of a two-leg Champions League semifinal. Paris Saint-Germain was a modest home underdog of +130, and a BetMGM high-roller made a mountainous $595,000 wager on PSG. What followed was a whale of match, with nine goals in all. And the major wager seemed to be in pretty good shape when PSG took a 5-2 lead in the 58th minute. But Bayern responded with goals in the 65th and 68th minutes to make it 5-4. The final 22 minutes plus injury time were a big sweat for the big bet. PSG survived to win 5-4, and the bettor hauled in $773,500 profit (total payout $1,368,500). Also from that match, a Fanatics Sportsbook customer put $850 on this seven-leg parlay: All seven legs delivered at odds of +5320, and the bettor won $45,220 (total payout $46,070). Parlay Partay Just to reiterate: Putting $2,000 on a seven-leg parlay is generally not sound fiduciary strategy. Its better to play far more reasonable amounts. That said, a Fanatics customer crafted a $2000 seven-leg same-game parlay on player props for Thursdays Nuggets-Timberwolves Game 6. At least the seven legs were reasonable, with none a big favorite nor a big underdog. And all seven got there, at hefty odds of +7750. Furthermore, the bettor utilized a 50% profit-boost promo, hiking those odds to +11626 (about 116/1). And thats how $2,000 turned into a whopping $234,522. Homerless Happiness Its fun to bet on home runs happening. Bettors like to see things happen. Bettors like to see scoring. But going against that grain can pay off. In the final three games of Saturdays MLB slate, a FanDuel Sportsbook customer decided there wouldnt be a single home run among them. The bettor put a relatable $45 on the three-leg parlay of: Indeed, there wasnt a long ball to be found in those three contests. At odds of +41550 (415.5/1), the bettor turned 45 bucks into an $18,742.50 windfall. Comeback Kings The 76ers trailed the Celtics 3-1 in a best-of-7 first-round series. That was even after Joel Embiid rejoined Philadelphia in Game 4, less than three weeks after having an emergency appendectomy. Philly got drilled in that game, losing 128-96 at home. With two of the final three games in Boston if the series even got to Game 7 it didnt look good for the Sixers. Yet one DraftKings Sportsbook customer figured, why not? On April 27, the bettor put $1,000 on 76ers +2500 to win the series. And win they did. The seventh-seeded Sixers took Games 5 and 7 on the road, sandwiched around a Game 6 home win, to knock out No. 2 seed Boston. Philly completed the comeback with a 109-100 win Saturday. The bettor pocketed a cool $25,000 profit. Thats outstanding ROI on a five-day investment. Just keep in mind thats generally not the reality of such bets. Keep your expectations and budget reasonable, people. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.

3 Montreal Canadiens players who may not be back next season originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Montreal Canadiens are continuing to head in the right direction and are now among the top teams in the Eastern Conference. It makes sense, as they have a fantastic core featuring Nick Suzuki, Lane Hutson, Cole Caufield, Juraj Slafkovsky, Noah Dobson, and Ivan Demidov. With this, the future is looking bright in Montreal.They pulled off a huge victory on the road against an experienced Tampa Bay Lightning team in Game 7 last night and are now preparing for a second-round duel against the Buffalo Sabres.However, as the Canadiens roster continues to get stronger, they could move on from some players this off-season to add or promote more skilled players, with the hopes of improving their roster.Due to this, lets take a look at three specific Habs who might not be back next season.Patrik Laine, RWPatrik Laine likely will not be back with the Canadiens next season. The Canadiens looked to trade him leading up to the deadline, and his contract expires at the end of this campaign.Thus, the Canadiens should be letting him walk straight into free agency. He simply does not fit on their roster anymore.Laine has also not played for the Canadiens since October due to injury. In five games this season with Montreal before getting injured, he had zero goals, one assist, and a minus-3 rating. This is after he had 20 goals and 33 points in 52 games for Montreal in 2024-25.MORE:Canadiens' Patrik Laine could still help Montreal in playoffsSamuel Montembeault, GWith the Canadiens having two promising young goaltenders in Jacob Fowler and Jakub Dobes, it would not be surprising in the slightest if they moved on from Montembeault, who is the oldest of the three, this off-season.This is especially true given that Montembeault has had a very disappointing 2025-26 season and has been demoted to the third string in the playoffs while Dobes starts and Fowler backs him up.Montembeault has a $3.15 million cap hit until the end of next season. With this, the Canadiens would need to either trade him or buy him out to move on from him. While Montembeault has had a bad 2025-26 season, his past success could make him a bounce-back candidate to watch next season. This could lead other teams to call.MORE:Canadiens have 3 right-shot defense targets this off-seasonArber Xhekaj, DThe Canadiens blueline is getting crowded, prompting questions about Arber Xhekajs future in Montreal. Xhekaj has been scratched multiple times this season, including the pivotal Game 7 against the Lightning last night, and could end up being a decent trade chip for the Canadiens to dangle to improve their roster elsewhere.If the Canadiens make Xhekaj available, there is no question that he would generate interest. The 25-year-old is a big defenseman who plays a very heavy game, and teams are always on the hunt for those.More NHL News'Average' Oilers have limited time and options to rework roster for Connor McDavid3 free agents the Maple Leafs must target to bounce back next seasonLightning's Nikita Kucherov delivers another unenthusiastic NHL playoffs campaignHas Brandon Hagel become the Lightning's most important forward as he ascends into NHL superstardom?A coach built for the moment: John Tortorella and the Golden Knights playoff rise

Caleb Williams took a major leap in his second NFL season, thriving during his first year under head coach Ben Johnson. Williams threw for 3,942 yards, 27 touchdowns and just seven interceptions while leading the Chicago Bears to an 11-6 record, an NFC North title and their first playoff win since 2011. He also established himself as one of the NFLs most clutch quarterbacks, leading the league with seven game-winning drives in 2025 (tied with Bo Nix). That included six regular-season comebacks and a dramatic wild-card win over the Green Bay Packers. And because of that breakout, bettors are already piling in on the former No. 1 overall pick heading into Year 3. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated. Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. According to BetMGM NFL insights, Williams has emerged as the biggest liability in the MVP market, drawing 11.8% of all tickets and 13.5% of the total handle. The former Heisman Trophy winner currently sits at +1400, tied with reigning MVP Matthew Stafford for the eighth-best odds. He still trails a loaded group at the top, including Josh Allen (+550), Lamar Jackson (+650) and Patrick Mahomes (+1000), along with Justin Herbert (+1000), Joe Burrow (+1000), Drake Maye (+1100) and Dak Prescott (+1300). On a recent episode of "The Herd," Colin Cowherd echoed what many bettors are already signaling. "To me, Caleb Williams is the No. 1 preseason MVP, Josh Allen at No. 2," Cowherd said. "A lot of it is, and nothing against Joe Brady, but he's not Ben Johnson. So I think he (Caleb) should be the favorite. Some guys are more fun to watch and easier to vote for." Despite the public heavily backing Williams, history tells a different story, considering no quarterback has ever won MVP in their third NFL season. As the reigning 2025 NFC North champions, the Bears will face first-place teams from the other NFC divisions. Chicago enters 2026 with the sixth-hardest strength of schedule in the entire NFL. At age 24, Williams looks to become the youngest MVP since Jackson back in 2019.
