New study estimates 75% of deceased ex-NFL players had brain disease CTE
Research looked at prevalence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy in 2,362 players who died in 2008-2023
A new study published on Wednesday estimates that about 75% of former NFL players who died over a 15-year period had evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
The research, published in Jama Network Open and conducted by a Boston-based team, examined the estimated prevalence of the degenerative brain disease among NFL players who died from 2008 through 2023. Researchers found that the estimated rate of CTE among these players was substantially higher than the rates observed in brain samples collected from the general population.

Chiefs sign Justin Tucker in wake of sexual misconduct allegations as Butker struggles
Tucker was banned under NFL’s conduct policy
Butker has missed five of 16 FG attempts this season
The Kansas City Chiefs have signed the former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad after Harrison Butker’s poor start to the season.
Tucker was widely considered one of the best kickers in NFL history until the Ravens released him in May 2025. The Ravens said his departure was a “football decision” after a slump in form, but the move came months after he was accused of inappropriate sexual behavior by massage therapists. Tucker denied the allegations and never faced criminal charges but he served a 10-game NFL ban for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.

‘You have to believe’: Qwan’tez Stiggers, the New York Jets player who went from delivery driver to the NFL
When Stiggers’ father died, he dropped out of college to help his mother and 12 siblings. He thought his football dream had ended but made it in the end
Qwan’tez Stiggers had only been in college for a few days when his world fell apart. Seven months after the car crash that put him in a coma, Stiggers’ father died. Stiggers quit college and returned home to support his mother, Kwanna, and 12 siblings. It was a huge blow to the 18-year-old. His partner, Cheyenne, was also processing a tragedy after her teenage sister had been killed by a stray bullet. Over the last six years, Cheyenne and Qwan’tez have helped each other off the bottom of an emotional well.
Working as a delivery driver and washing trucks while his old teammates progressed in their football careers could have driven him off the rails. “I wouldn’t necessarily say I was envious, but I wanted better for myself,” says Stiggers. “I had a child, was living with my wife – my girlfriend at the time – and got those late-night delivery jobs to pay the bills.

Dream say WNBA finals concerns went unheeded as teams prepare for 12.30pm Thursday start
Crucial Game 6 will take place on Thursday afternoon
Game moved to larger State Farm Arena in Atlanta
Hawks’ NBA game on same day could not be moved
The Atlanta Dream say their concerns about finding a suitable home venue for the WNBA finals went unheeded as they prepare to play the Golden State Valkyries in a crucial Game 6 on Thursday.
The Dream’s normal home, Gateway Center Arena, has a capacity of about 3,500 people. To accommodate the increased interest in the team during the finals, the Dream have played their two home games so far at the Atlanta Hawks’ State Farm Arena, which can seat more than 17,000 fans.

Jay-Z is the perfect Super Bowl shill for a league of billionaires
The rapper lends the NFL a veneer of credibility but is unlikely to push back on the establishment figures who run the league
On Monday the NFL named Jay-Z as the headliner for this season’s Super Bowl half-time show. His company, Roc Nation, produces the show under a 2019 deal reportedly worth $5m a year, and the agreement was extended for another five years in 2024. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said his one request when the partnership began was that Jay-Z “take the stage himself one day“.
Goodell’s wish makes total sense: Jay-Z is the perfect choice for the half-time show, and that’s not a compliment. The NFL wants a shill who can still pass for a rebel, and nobody in American music plays that part better than Jay-Z.

Malyka Dauphin : parmi les meilleures boxeuses du Québec

Bien qu’elle ait commencé son sport il y a seulement deux ans, la boxeuse rimouskoise, Malyka Dauphin, fait sa place sur la scène provinciale grâce à une grande discipline. Elle est notamment devenue championne provinciale récemment en remportant les Gants dorés.
« J’étais vraiment contente de gagner parce que je me suis entraînée beaucoup pour arriver à ça. »
La Rimouskoise a fait une session dans le volet récréatif lorsqu’elle a commencé la boxe à l’automne 2024. Dès la session suivante, elle s’est intégrée à l’équipe compétitive de Boxe Rimouski.
« J’ai cherché pendant longtemps un sport avec ma mère. Dès que je suis arrivée dans l’équipe compétitive, j’ai beaucoup aimé ça. J’aime le fait de pouvoir me dire que si je veux, je peux y arriver. Ça prend un bon mental et une confiance en soi. Tu ne peux pas battre quelqu’un qui n’abandonne jamais. Je suis très contente de représenter la boxe féminine parce que nous ne sommes pas beaucoup à le faire. »
L’athlète de 13 ans se lève à 6 h la plupart des matins de la semaine pour aller courir avant d’aller à l’école. Elle fait aussi de la nage en plus de ses entraînements de boxe en fin de journée et de surveiller son alimentation de près.
« C’est une habitude de vie et je suis bien encadrée par mes entraîneurs. C’est ma discipline qui me rend la plus fière. Je suis partie du bas en pensant que je ne pourrais même pas faire de combats. Avec le temps, je me suis habituée à toujours donner mon 100 %. Même si parfois ça ne me tente pas, à la fin je suis toujours contente d’y être arrivée », dit-elle.

Malyka Dauphin, qui fréquente l’école secondaire Saint-Jean, doit également être disciplinée dans ses études.
« Comme je suis maintenant en deuxième secondaire, les devoirs ne sont pas toujours faciles. Ça arrive que je me couche tard. Il y a juste l’été que je me repose un peu et les semaines après les combats. »
Bien entourée
Dès le départ, l’entraîneuse et responsable du volet compétition à Boxe Rimouski, Sabrina Charest, l’a prise sous son aile pour lui permettre de faire sa place dans le monde de la boxe en tant que femme. Elle est également soutenue par l’entraîneur Sébastien Talbot qui qualifie son athlète de très disciplinée.

« C’est une boxeuse qui a beaucoup de potentiel et elle a déjà un talent naturel, mais en plus elle est travaillante et elle fait ce qu’il faut pour réussir. Ça prend beaucoup de choses et d’étapes pour atteindre un niveau élevé en boxe, mais je crois qu’elle a tout ce qu’il faut. En plus, elle est droitière naturelle, mais elle boxe comme une gauchère. Ça fait qu’elle donne du fil à retordre à ses adversaires », dit-il.
Vers les championnats canadiens
Même si elle est championne provinciale dans sa catégorie grâce à sa victoire aux Gants dorés au début du mois, Malyka Dauphin n’a pas accès aux championnats canadiens puisqu’elle est encore d’âge de catégorie cadette et que ce niveau de compétition est pour les boxeurs de catégorie juvénile. Elle a toutefois bien l’intention de s’y rendre l’an prochain.
« C’est mon prochain objectif », conclut la boxeuse qui veut prendre de l’expérience pendant la saison actuelle avec des combats dans différents galas.
NFL today: How to watch Cowboys v Eagles, TV channels & live stream Monday 26 October
How will Dallas and Philadelphia fare today? Here is what to know, including kick-off time, TV channels and live stream options
There is “reeling”, and then there is whatever the Eagles are doing heading into Monday Night Football against the Cowboys. Philadelphia have lost four games in a row to fall within a whisker of last place in the NFC East. Jalen Hurts’s blood clots rapidly escalated and have probably knocked the franchise QB out for the season. Backup Tanner McKee has inherited a legitimate crisis. And it’s not as if all was hunky-dory before Hurts went out. The Eagles had already blown a 10-point fourth-quarter lead to the Rams and let the Jaguars come back on them in shocking fashion in London before the Hurts news.
The Cowboys have their own enormous issues. Former Eagles assistant Christian Parker joined up as defensive coordinator, aiming to fix a bad unit, but the Cowboys are still struggling to keep teams from racking up big point and yardage totals. Facing the Cowboys defense has been a salve for struggling offenses, as when a Packers team who couldn’t convert a third down for their life suddenly converted nine of their first 10 against Big D last weekend.

Entraînement fonctionnel : Laverrière est 3e au monde

Le copropriétaire du Gym Le Quartier de Rimouski, Michaël Laverrière, a décroché la médaille de bronze aux Championnats du monde Masters d’entraînement fonctionnel qui ont eu lieu à Aruba, dans les Caraïbes, du 23 au 25 octobre.
« Quelle compétition féroce et quel exploit remarquable! Des mois et des années d’efforts acharnés, une discipline de fer et une assiduité hors du commun l’ont propulsé tout au sommet, parmi l’élite mondiale de sa discipline » a exprimé l’équipe du Gym Le Quartier sur sa page Facebook.
Laverrière évoluait dans la catégorie dans la catégorie 40-44 ans. Il était de retour sur la scène internationale après avoir remporté la médaille d’argent aux CrossFit Games 2023.
En plus d’être entrepreneur et athlète, Michaël Laverrière est également entraîneur.
Auparavant CrossFit Rimouski, son entreprise a changé d’identité en 2025 pour devenir le Gym Le Quartier afin d’offrir une image plus représentative de ce qui est proposé. Le sportif est également propriétaire d’un centre d’entraînement fonctionnel depuis 12 ans à Rivière-du-Loup.
Pour se rendre aux mondiaux, Laverrière était devenu champion canadien dans sa catégorie en août dernier.

Cyclones : médaille d’argent pour Saint-Hilaire aux interrégionaux

Rosalie Saint-Hilaire des Cyclones de Rimouski a remporté l’argent lors de la première compétition de la saison du réseau interrégional de patinage de vitesse courte piste. L’événement se tenait ce samedi 24 octobre à Rivière-du-Loup.
Dans le groupe 1 féminin, Saint-Hilaire est montée sur la deuxième marche du podium au classement cumulatif de la journée. La Rimouskoise a notamment remporté l’épreuve du 1 500 mètres et pris le deuxième rang du 500 mètres.
« Alors qu’elle semblait en voie de signer une autre excellente performance au 400 mètres, une disqualification en finale l’a reléguée au cinquième rang de cette distance. Malgré ce revers, Rosalie a démontré tout son potentiel en établissant un nouveau record de club au 400 mètres et effaçant une marque qui tenait depuis plus de huit ans », exprime l’entraîneuse-chef des Cyclones, Geneviève Sirois.
Léonie Beauvais, qui en était à sa toute première compétition dans ce même groupe, a terminé au sixième rang du classement général. Sa meilleure performance de la journée est survenue au 1 500 mètres alors qu’elle a décroché la troisième position.
À sa première présence sur le circuit interrégional, Anne-Frédérique Chassé a également connu une bonne journée dans le groupe 3 féminin. La patineuse a terminé au sixième rang du classement général. Elle en a profité pour établir un nouveau record personnel au 400 mètres. Il s’agit de la seule distance qu’elle avait déjà disputée auparavant en compétition.
Chez les garçons
Du côté masculin, Ludovic Gallant-Côté participait lui aussi à sa première compétition interrégionale après avoir obtenu ses standards d’accès lors de la Coupe de l’Est 1 le week-end précédent. Évoluant dans le groupe 3 masculin, il a pris le 21e rang du classement général.
« Cette première expérience lui a permis de bien prendre ses repères parmi un peloton relevé, tout en réalisant un nouveau record personnel au 400 mètres, une performance encourageante pour la suite de la saison », indique madame Sirois.
Dans le groupe 2 masculin, Mathias Bouchard a terminé au 11e rang du classement général. Le patineur a abaissé ses meilleurs temps sur chacune des distances auxquelles il a participé.
Les Cyclones seront de retour en action la première fin de semaine de novembre. Plusieurs athlètes participeront aux prochaines compétitions de patinage de vitesse longue piste.

The horse that ushered in Manchester United’s tragic arc | Jonathan Wilson
There’s plenty of blame to go around at Old Trafford. Like all downfalls it started with a seemingly small, unconnected moment
And so here we are again, at that point as the nights draw in and Manchester United prepare to sack a manager. Autumn: season of mists, mellow fruitfulness and a crisis at Old Trafford. Sunday’s 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth, coming on the back of last week’s 4-1 reverse against Como, made clear what many had feared from the moment Michael Carrick was given the job on a permanent basis: that he isn’t up to it.
But then, who could be? When you’ve burned through a long list of managers in 13 years, it’s perhaps worth considering whether the manager is really the problem. Could some blame perhaps go to the director of football, Jason Wilcox, or the chief executive, Omar Berrada, the people making the appointments? Or perhaps to Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the cost-cutting tax exile and minority shareholder with responsibility for sporting operations? Or to the Glazer family, who plunged the club into debt with a leveraged buyout in 2005 and have since made calamitous decision after calamitous decision, reducing the most successful club in English league history to a mid-table laughing stock with a roof that leaks symbolically?

Creaking, smug … and a contender? Aaron Rodgers may yet get his Super Bowl farewell
The 42-year-old remains a polarizing figure. But the Steelers have a formidable defense and a quarterback who has seen it all before
Aaron Rodgers is nowhere near this NFL season’s MVP conversation. At times in his second season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the almost-43-year-old has shown glimpses of the player he was in his prime, slinging the ball with zest and precision, able to suss out any coverage. Other times he has looked like, well, a guy in his 40s playing a young man’s game.
Rodgers looked more like prime Rodgers in the Steelers’ gritty 16-10 win over the New Orleans Saints in Paris. He wasn’t satisfied with his side of the ball, telling reporter Molly McGrath, “I don’t think we played very good on offense today.” But Rodgers did enough to secure the win, including a 51-yard strike to DK Metcalf in the second quarter. He later scrambled for a first down on third-and-six to secure the win.

‘We’re not doing great’: Gilgeous-Alexander in tears after Williams suffers gruesome leg injury
Guard stretchered off court after apparent serious injury
Team will learn more about status on Monday
Shai-Gilgeous Alexander scored 34 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder stayed undefeated but they lost All-Star guard Jalen Williams to what appeared to be a serious leg injury during their 108-101 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night.
Oklahoma City won their third straight game to start the season but lost three players to injury, including Williams, who went down hard on a drive to the basket with 1:14 left. The guard’s left leg gave way as he landed and his foot bent at an unnatural angle. The 25-year-old left the court on a stretcher with towels covering his injured leg. He covered his mouth with his hands when he looked down at the injury while Gilgeous-Alexander and players on both teams appeared to be in shock.

Hockey collégial : deux victoires pour les Pionniers

Les Pionniers du Cégep de Rimouski en hockey ont signé deux victoires devant leurs partisans en fin de semaine.
Samedi, ils ont disposé des Dragons du Collège Laflèche par la marque de 7-5. Maxence Bouchard s’est mis en évidence avec quatre buts et une passe. Étienne Roy, Olivier Blanchette et Émile Vachon ont complété. Mathieu Albert (26 arrêts) est le gardien gagnant.
« Malgré un creux de vague en deuxième période, nous avons réussi à redresser la barre et aller chercher une victoire très importante. Excellente performance de Maxence Bouchard avec 4 buts et une passe », mentionne Nicholas Duchesne.
Dimanche, sa formation a de nouveau un bon match en offensive dans un gain de 6-4 sur les Filons de Thetford. Le gardien Nicolas Gervais enregistre la victoire à son dossier avec ses 23 arrêts.
Les buts sont allés à Emerick Ellyson (2), Gabriel Dumais, Xavier Tremblay, Maxence Bouchard et Émile Vachon.
« Un bel effort de groupe. Les unités spéciales ont fait le travail et notre gardien a sorti de gros arrêts aux bons moments. C’était un match émotif et nous avons réussi à demeurer en contrôle pendant les 60 minutes. Nous avons fait un pas dans la bonne direction en fin de semaine, c’est encourageant », estime l’entraineur-chef.
Pionnières
Dimanche, les Pionnières ont perdu 5-2 contre Drummondville. Sara-Ève Lever et Katherine Champagne ont marqué pour la formation rimouskoise dont le filet était défendu par Ariel Fortin.
« Un match en deux temps. Après une première période partagée, nous tirions de l’arrière 2-1. En deuxième, nous avons eu une excellente période et avons créé l’égalité. Mais, un but ans les cinq dernières minutes nous a coupé les jambes pour le reste du match », explique Jean-François Duchesne.
À venir
Les deux équipes sont sur la route en fin de semaine prochaine. Les Pionnières visiteront Édouard-Montpetit, samedi, et Thetford, dimanche. Pour leur part, les Pionniers joueront à Victoriaville, samedi, et à Sainte-Foy, dimanche.

NFL today: How to watch Chiefs v Seahawks, TV channels & live stream Sunday 25 October
How will the Kansas City and Seattle fare today? Here is what to know, including kick-off time, TV channels and live stream options
Sunday Night Football this week is a blockbuster. The Chiefs take their undefeated record to Seattle, where the defending-champ Seahawks should have an early sense of urgency. Mike Macdonald’s team enter at 3-3, already a full three games (plus, for now, a tiebreaker) behind the gangbusters 49ers. To have any real shot at a home playoff game — a critical edge in last year’s Super Bowl run — the Seahawks need to get a win against a resurgent Chiefs squad who nothing like the husk they appeared to be down the stretch last season.
In addition to a clash between two marquee franchises, the evening is a homecoming for one of the most important players of the young season: Kenneth Walker III. The Seahawks-turned-Chiefs running back has been key to KC’s offensive revitalization after signing as a free agent following his Super Bowl MVP nod with Seattle. The Chiefs were in the bottom half of the league in rushing yards per carry last year but this season hold a whopping lead over the second-place team, averaging 5.5 yards to the Bills’ 5.1. The 26-year-old Walker is having a career year and has worked his way from “good player” to “maybe the Offensive Player of the Year.”
