The Saints confirmed the signing of kicker Cade York to the practice squad on Tuesday afternoon and they announced a number of other transactions as well. Running back Evan Hull has been signed to the active roster from the practice squad. Hull joined the Saints in Week 10 and has not appeared in any games with the team. Hull spent the preseason with the Steelers and he has made two regular season appearances with the Colts. Kicker Blake Grupe was released to open up the spot for Hull. Grupe missed two field goals in last Sunday’s loss to the Falcons, which contributed to the decision to go with York. The Saints also activated tackle Barry Wesley from injured reserve. He went on the list before the start of the regular season. In addition to adding York, the Saints also signed wide receiver Samori Toure and running back Ian Wheeler to the practice squad. Wide receiver Jha’Quan Jackson and linebacker Eku Leota were released from that roster.

Bertuzzi’s third-period hat trick leads Blackhawks past Canucks 5-2
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Tyler Bertuzzi scored three goals in the third period for his fourth career hat trick, leading the Chicago Blackhawks to a 5-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night.
Bertuzzi opened the scoring just over three minutes into the third period, deflecting a long shot from Matt Grzelcyk with his skate at the side of the net. All seven goals in the game were scored in the third period.
Ilya Mikheyev also scored for the Blackhawks, while Connor Bedard added an empty-net goal and an assist. Bedard has now stretched his point streak to six games, recording five goals and six assists over that span. Ryan Donato contributed two assists for Chicago. Goaltender Spencer Knight stopped 43 shots in the win, which snapped Chicago’s three-game losing streak.
For the Canucks, Aatu Raty and Evander Kane found the back of the net. Despite being outshot 45-28 by Chicago, Vancouver’s Kevin Lankinen made 23 saves.
Canucks winger Conor Garland returned to the lineup after missing three games with an undisclosed injury. Vancouver still has five players on its injured reserve list; however, assistant coach Brett McLean said after Wednesday’s morning skate that forwards Jonathan Lekkerimaki and Teddy Blueger are expected to begin practicing soon in noncontact jerseys.
Up next:
– Blackhawks: Visit Calgary on Friday.
– Canucks: Host Columbus on Saturday.
Michael Savage Takes on the NYC Mayoral Race with the Commie Islamist
Michael Savage recently explained on his Newsmax show why he supports Andrew Cuomo in the upcoming New York City mayoral race. While Andrew Cuomo has many faults—and we have shown him no mercy here at the Sentinel—he was effective when it came to managing the New York state budget.
In contrast, Curtis Sliwa has never held a position where he managed anything, including a budget, nor has he made any meaningful contributions to the political dialogue. Sliwa reportedly lives in a rent-free basement apartment with 16 cats.
The other alternative in the race is a wealthy former rapper who has never succeeded in any job. This candidate is described as an Islamist communist with connections to at least one suspected terrorist.
Watch this brief clip of Michael Savage explaining his position.
Savage also reflects on the role of the media, quoting several notable figures:
“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.” — Joseph Goebbels
“Ought we not to ask the media to agree among themselves a voluntary code of conduct, under which they would not say or show anything which could assist the terrorists’ morale or their cause while the hijack lasted.” — Margaret Thatcher
“Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.” — Jim Morrison
“Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe.” — Thomas Jefferson
These insights highlight the powerful influence the media holds over public perception and the importance of responsible journalism in today’s political landscape.

No Puka, no problem: Matthew Stafford throws 5 TDs as Rams dominate Jaguars in London
**Goodbye London. Hello Bye Week.**
The Rams ended an extended road trip and welcomed some time off with a 35-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Wembley Stadium.
Matthew Stafford passed for five touchdowns—three to Davante Adams, one each to rookies Konata Mumpfield and Terrance Ferguson—and edge rushers Jared Verse and Byron Young led a mostly suffocating defense as the Rams improved their record to 5-2 heading into an off week.
In a light rain and without injured star receiver Puka Nacua, coach Sean McVay and Stafford spread the ball around to 10 different receivers during a victory that made the nine-day road trip worth it.
The Rams were coming off a 17-3 road win over the Baltimore Ravens. They stayed in Baltimore last week, practicing at Oriole Park at Camden Yards before departing for London on Friday. Arriving Saturday, they played on Sunday—and showed no signs of jet lag.
Verse kicked off the game with a sack on Trevor Lawrence on the very first play. The Rams jumped to a 21-0 halftime lead and cruised as McVay remained unbeaten in London games.
Young, rookie outside linebacker Josaiah Stewart, linebacker Nate Landman, lineman Larrell Murchison, and safety Quentin Lake contributed to a combined seven sacks on Lawrence. Lake, who also forced a fumble, and lineman Kobie Turner batted down passes in the backfield.
In 2017, McVay’s first season, the Rams routed the Arizona Cardinals at Twickenham Stadium. Two years later, they defeated the Cincinnati Bengals at Wembley Stadium. Though Sunday’s game was played thousands of miles from Southern California, it had a familiar Rams family feel.
Jaguars coach Liam Coen was an assistant under McVay, and Jaguars first-year general manager James Gladstone worked for nine years under Rams general manager Les Snead.
The upcoming week off should benefit Nacua, who did not play due to an ankle injury sustained against the Ravens. The Rams decided to rest the third-year pro and let him heal before facing the New Orleans Saints on November 2 at SoFi Stadium.
Nacua’s absence opened the door for Adams and others. By the end of the first quarter, Stafford had completed passes to seven of eight different receivers targeted, including touchdowns to Mumpfield and two to Adams. Stafford also connected with Ferguson and Adams for touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
Adams and Stafford, who said in Baltimore they were still working to find their timing together, finally found it on Sunday. Adams caught five passes for 35 yards, with all of his short touchdown receptions coming on the kinds of red-zone plays the Rams envisioned when they signed the three-time All-Pro.
Stafford completed 21 of 33 passes for only 182 yards, but he made them count.
For the first time since 2021, the Rams will go into their bye week with a winning record. In 2023, the Rams were 3-6 at the bye and then won seven of eight games to finish 10-7 and make the playoffs. Last season, they were 1-4 at the bye and then won nine of 12 games to finish 10-7 and make the playoffs.
Sunday’s victory trends closer to 2017, when the Rams shut out the Cardinals, 33-0, at Twickenham Stadium to improve to 5-2 heading into the bye. The Rams went on to win the NFC West and make the playoffs for the first time since 2004.
After taking trips to Tennessee, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and London, the Rams will leave the West Coast only twice more—for a November 30 game at Carolina and a December 29 game at Atlanta. They have to feel good about that as they prepare for the long flight home.
