The Seattle Mariners and the Toronto Blue Jays have reached a thrilling Game 7 of the 2025 American League Championship Series. This decisive showdown is taking place at the Rogers Centre in Toronto on Monday night. With everything on the line, both teams are expected to give their all for a chance to advance to the World Series, where Shohei Ohtani and the reigning MLB champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers, are already waiting for their next challenger.
Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor exemplified the “whatever-it-takes” mentality in this do-or-die contest. Early in the game, at the top of the first inning, Naylor appeared to try breaking up an inning-ending double play by using his head—specifically, his helmet—in an aggressive move.
However, Naylor’s risky attempt ultimately backfired. The umpires later ruled the play as illegal interference. As noted by baseball analyst Ben Verlander, the MLB rule book states: “Any batter or runner who has just been put out, or any runner who has just scored, hinders or impedes any following play being made on a runner. Such runner shall be declared out for the interference of his teammate.”
Despite the setback, Naylor had already given the Mariners an early boost. His single in the first inning drove Julio Rodriguez home, putting Seattle ahead 1-0 and setting the tone for an intense Game 7 battle.

**Mark Ruffalo Reveals He Had a “Dream” About Punching Ryan Reynolds in the Face**
*Published Oct. 20, 2025, 8:00 p.m. ET*
Mark Ruffalo recently made a surprising revelation about having a “dream” of what it would look like to punch Ryan Reynolds in the face, RadarOnline.com can reveal. With Reynolds’ recent cringe-worthy moments — including a red carpet spat with Eugene Levy and a rude interaction with a child reporter — many critics might have shared the same fantasy of socking the star in the kisser.
However, Ruffalo, 57, actually got to do just that for a movie role. The scene in question was filmed for 2022’s *The Adam Project*, and Ruffalo said he envisioned the punch in his head before shooting the scene with Reynolds, 48.
“It was written that way, and we did a rehearsal, and I had a dream that that’s what the punch should look like, and I just did what I did in my dream,” Ruffalo revealed during a new video with GQ where he discussed every film role he has ever done.
“And we did it, and they were all laughing, and [director Shawn Levy’s] like, ‘Well, let’s do it again, but I think we have it,’” the actor said with a laugh.
Ruffalo noted this was one of those spontaneous moments where “it was just like the spontaneity, and, you know, it was right there,” describing his epic on-screen punch of the Deadpool star.
### ‘No Ease With Each Other’
While promoting *The Adam Project*, Reynolds spoke kindly of working with Ruffalo, although their interview appeared a bit stiff as they gave each other compliments.
“It’s a great thing about working with amazing actors is that you don’t have to work as hard. The actual job becomes exponentially easier when you work with really great actors,” Reynolds stated plainly.
Ruffalo added, “And it’s playful. I mean, that playfulness really translates as well as the ease with each other. And what does a family have except for no ease with each other,” deadpanning slightly while avoiding eye contact with his co-star.
### Red Carpet Spat
Reynolds has recently found himself embroiled in several controversies that painted him in a negative light. At the premiere of the new John Candy documentary, *John Candy: I Like Me*, Reynolds engaged in an expletive-filled exchange on the Toronto International Film Festival red carpet with Eugene Levy, 78.
Lip reader Nicole Hickling analyzed the moment for RadarOnline.com, noting Reynolds looked tense before telling Levy, “Bull—-, man.” Allegedly, Levy responded, “Language, you don’t need to speak so harsh.”
Hickling claimed Reynolds angrily fired back, “Please don’t ever tell me how I can talk to people.”
### Mocking His Only Son
At the same event, Reynolds was accused of being “mean and rude” to a child reporter from CTV. The *Free Guy* star leaned down and bluntly asked, “Hi, what’s your question for me buddy?” When the young boy tried to introduce himself and said, “Hi Ryan, nice to meet you,” Reynolds quickly interrupted with a curt, “Nice to meet you too, let’s skip to the question.”
In recent weeks, the Aviator Gin founder also made snide remarks about his only son with wife Blake Lively, after previously welcoming three daughters together.
During an appearance on Seth Meyers’ NBC late-night talk show, Reynolds said their little boy, Olin, 2, “came out with three things on his mind. It was violence, breasts, and engines.”
He further added that he wouldn’t have had more children if a son had come first.
“I can’t, if I had, like, three boys at first, I would never. There’s no way,” Reynolds huffed. “I would give myself a punching vasectomy.”

ESPN’s College Gameday Heads to Vanderbilt University Amid Controversy
This Saturday, ESPN’s College Gameday is making its way to Vanderbilt University for the Commodores’ matchup against Missouri—a decision that has sparked considerable frustration among college football fans.
Vanderbilt’s Rise in College Football
Vanderbilt has been one of the most remarkable stories this season. Currently sitting at 6-1, the Commodores have built on a tremendous rise that began last season, highlighted by a breakthrough win over Alabama. This year, they’ve continued their momentum with key victories over South Carolina and LSU. Logically, choosing Vanderbilt as a College Gameday destination makes perfect sense. It’s an unlikely success story in the SEC, providing a compelling narrative for viewers.
The Frustration: Accusations of SEC Bias
However, the decision to spotlight Vanderbilt has triggered a wave of frustration across the college football landscape. The core complaint is familiar: College Gameday appears to prioritize the SEC, showcasing the same conference repeatedly while largely overlooking equally compelling stories from other programs and divisions.
Many fans are particularly upset that Gameday isn’t broadcasting from the North Dakota State vs. South Dakota State game, as it did in September 2019. This rivalry features two perennial powerhouses who have dominated the FCS National Championship landscape for years. Both teams are ranked at the top of the FCS standings, making this a pivotal matchup that will significantly influence playoff seeding later this fall.
Many argue that given the gravity of this game—pitting the top two FCS programs against each other—College Gameday should be there to tell that story and highlight an under-covered but highly significant part of college football. The frustration stems from the perception that Gameday is overlooking a matchup with clear national championship implications in favor of an SEC game.
Understanding the Reality of College Gameday Coverage
Personally, I find this particular outrage somewhat ironic. Those upset that Gameday isn’t showcasing North Dakota State vs. South Dakota State may not fully appreciate how incredibly difficult it is for the show to meaningfully acknowledge non-Power 4 institutions.
To understand the gap between expectation and reality regarding Gameday coverage, look no further than HBCU football. Despite a wealth of historic programs and compelling narratives over the years—many HBCU schools compete in the FCS—College Gameday has only broadcasted live from HBCU events four times since its inception:
– **Bayou Classic (2005):** Broadcast following Hurricane Katrina from Houston, Texas; the first time Gameday broadcasted from an HBCU event.
– **Hampton vs. Florida A&M (2008):** The first time Gameday broadcasted from an HBCU campus.
– **MEAC-SWAC Challenge (2021):** Broadcast from Atlanta during a Week 0 game coordinated with ESPN Events.
– **Jackson State (2022):** Broadcast from Jackson, Mississippi, during Deion Sanders’ final season with the Tigers.
*Note:* Gameday also broadcasted from the site of the Delaware State vs. North Dakota State game; however, Delaware State was the visitor.
The 2022 Stop at Jackson State: A Case Study
The 2022 visit to Jackson State offers a clear case study for why frustration over this weekend’s choice may be misguided. Despite setting up the entire broadcast on the JSU campus—largely due to the Deion Sanders phenomenon—the actual game against rival Southern University was relegated behind the ESPN+ paywall and was not flexed to ESPNU for television exposure.
In essence, JSU functioned more as a studio backdrop than as the main event. Outside of a well-produced feature on the legendary 1974 JSU team (featuring Hall of Famers Walter Payton, Jackie Slater, and Robert Brazile), the coverage largely focused on celebrity guests and Deion Sanders’ presence, rather than providing substantive insight into the SWAC or the team’s prospects.
It’s therefore somewhat hypocritical for fans to complain about missing North Dakota State vs. South Dakota State when Gameday struggled to deliver meaningful coverage even for a story as massive as Deion Sanders at Jackson State.
The Bigger Picture: Corporate Realities and Sports Coverage
This isn’t a new phenomenon in the FCS. The frustration arises mainly because this situation is now affecting schools that fans personally root for, where the matchup’s appeal is obvious but fails to align with ESPN’s strategic priorities.
At the heart of the matter is a corporate reality: ESPN recently signed a massive deal with the SEC, greatly expanding the conference’s presence across ABC and ESPN platforms. It’s only natural that they would use College Gameday—their premier promotional tool—to spotlight the product they invested billions of dollars in.
While there are numerous key games across the FCS that could warrant Gameday’s attention or even a broadcast, the show consistently chases what it perceives as the biggest headlines or most valuable properties. This focus often comes at the expense of highlighting significant programs without an established national fanbase—a sharp departure from the show’s earlier days, when spreading the spotlight was a core principle.
Conclusion: Managing Expectations
It’s understandable why many fans want more program diversity and recognition of great football regardless of the division or conference. However, considering ESPN’s history and business incentives, we should have anticipated this outcome.
In short, whether it’s Vanderbilt or North Dakota State, College Gameday’s choices reflect broader corporate strategies rather than a balanced celebration of college football’s full landscape.

By recognizing these realities, we can better appreciate the complexities behind College Gameday’s decisions and adjust our expectations accordingly.

Somehow, Mike McDaniel is still the Miami Dolphins head coach, and he’s sticking with Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback. Additionally, he’s continuing to say unusual things, recently dropping another surprising take about the team’s effort against the Cleveland Browns, as reported by Marcel Louis-Jacques on X.
“I don’t have an opinion on the two teams in the game, because we didn’t participate in the game, in my opinion,” McDaniel said. While he acknowledged that Miami’s “want to” was there, he criticized their desire to execute the actual assignment or game plan as lacking.
Regardless of these comments, the Dolphins are now trying to regroup and climb out of the mess left behind by a 31-6 thrashing at the hands of the Browns.
### Mike McDaniel Sticking with Tua Tagovailoa
It seems strange that McDaniel hasn’t pulled the plug on Tagovailoa as the starter. At this point, it doesn’t look like the six-year veteran will be able to lead the team to a victory anytime soon. And a win soon may be the only thing that secures McDaniel’s future with the organization.
When asked about Tagovailoa’s status, McDaniel emphasized that his decisions won’t be based on emotion. “It will be tape-driven,” he said. “I will have to take a look at the tape. But before watching the tape, I don’t want to over-conclude anything.”
He added, “I think, when you turn the ball over, you know, it is the number one indicator of wins and losses. And it negatively affects the team. I think there’s multiple factors in those turnovers. I know at least one or two of them were extremely preventable from Tua, and he knows that just wasn’t good enough. We’ll watch the tape and change our style of play if we [have] to.”
### Tagovailoa’s Struggles
Unfortunately for the Dolphins, Tagovailoa currently leads the NFL in a category no quarterback wants to: interceptions. He has thrown 10 interceptions as Miami has stumbled to a disappointing 1-6 record.
Tagovailoa’s poor play is certainly an issue, but McDaniel’s team also didn’t seem prepared to face the Browns, who notched just their second win of the season. When teams show up not ready to play, the responsibility almost always falls on the head coach.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on McDaniel and Tagovailoa — whether changes are coming and if Miami can turn things around before it’s too late.

**NEW YORK** — Alicia Keys’ semi-autobiographical, coming-of-age Broadway musical is all grown up and leaving the nest. And, like any proud creator, Keys may visit it every once in a while as it embarks on a national tour.
A new *Hell’s Kitchen* cast has assembled in Cleveland for a national tour that will take them across the South, Midwest, and West on a 28-city journey through 2026.
“It feels so good to know that it’s going to go across the country and this cast, let me tell you, is out of control. They’re so good,” Keys says. “Obviously, everybody can’t get to New York City. Everybody can’t go to Broadway.”
Those who catch the musical on the road may also get an extra treat. Keys says she’s liable to appear unexpectedly at some stops as a fairy godmother alongside the cast.
“I love, as an artist, bringing my energy to other artists. That’s really a fulfilling feeling. So, I’ll be fairy godmothering. You never know where you’ll see me,” she adds.
### A Coming-of-Age Story
*Hell’s Kitchen* tells the story of Ali, a 17-year-old New York piano prodigy, fueled by iconic Alicia Keys songs like “Fallin’,” “No One,” “Girl on Fire,” “If I Ain’t Got You,” as well as new originals including “Kaleidoscope.”
The musical centers on Ali, who—like Keys—is the daughter of a white mother and a Black father, growing up in subsidized housing just outside Times Square, in the once-rough neighborhood called Hell’s Kitchen.
Ali’s journey follows her honing her musical talents, experiencing first love, and reconciling with her sometimes overbearing mother.
Keys hopes audiences will be drawn not only to her music and story but also to the musical’s diverse cast.
“It’s really exciting to be able to go somewhere and see yourself on the stage or to see your experience played out,” Keys says.
### Meet Maya Drake: Ali on Tour
The role of Ali on tour is played by 18-year-old Maya Drake, a recent high school graduate from San Jose, California, who underwent a long and rigorous audition process.
Drake was a fan of Alicia Keys long before she auditioned for *Hell’s Kitchen* and cherishes the opportunity to perform the artist’s music.
“The fact that I get to be in a show with somebody else’s music and, of all the people, it gets to be her — I got so lucky with that,” says Drake. “Just to have that connection is so special, and it makes the show feel 10 times more enjoyable.”
As part of her audition process, Drake traveled to New York to watch the Broadway production starring Jade Milan as Ali.
“It’s a lot seeing it for the first time and she never leaves the stage,” Drake recalls. “To be a part of something that big would just be crazy.”
After the tour cast was announced, the performers were invited onstage at the Shubert Theatre to cheers following a performance. Drake met and spoke with veterans like Jessica Vosk and Tony Award winner Kecia Lewis.
“That was a really special moment,” Drake says. “Sharing advice and getting insight from the people that are currently doing the show helped us understand what you’re about to get into and some things that can help.”
### Life on the Road
Following the Cleveland opening, the tour visits Pittsburgh, Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Denver, Oklahoma City, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, San Diego, and other cities.
Drake is especially looking forward to performing in California, particularly the San Francisco stop, which is the closest to her hometown of San Jose.
She is also excited about the traveling experience itself.
“I really have not traveled a bunch of my life, which is kind of ironic because I’m about to do a lot of traveling,” Drake says. She trained at the Children’s Musical Theater San Jose and is eager to explore new places.
Keys, who celebrated the show’s success with two Tony Awards and the 2025 Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album, believes *Hell’s Kitchen*’s story transcends its New York roots.
“This is a story inspired by my experiences growing up in New York City, for sure. And, yes, it is a New York story, 1,000%. The thing is, though, the story truly is timeless,” Keys says.
“It’s such an emotional, honest, raw, authentic story that it doesn’t matter if it’s in Cleveland, or if it’s in Detroit, or if it’s in Manhattan or Atlanta.”
—
*Hell’s Kitchen: Behind the Dream*, a photo-heavy book documenting the show’s 13-year evolution—from development with book writer Kristoffer Diaz and director Michael Greif to costuming, casting, choreography, and staging—also coincides with the tour.

**Taylor Swift’s Private Jet Grounded After Accusations of High Carbon Emissions**
*Published Oct. 17, 2025, 4:20 p.m. ET*
Pop superstar Taylor Swift has recently come under fire for the environmental impact of her private jet, accused of pumping out thousands of tonnes of CO2 with her frequent flights. However, RadarOnline.com can now reveal that the Earth’s atmosphere is getting a much-needed break from the mega-rich singer, as her jet has been grounded for the past four months.
### What’s Wrong With Swift’s Private Jet?
The jet of the “Bad Blood” singer has been parked since June — that’s around four months of no flights. However, this pause doesn’t appear to be due to Swift suddenly adopting eco-friendly habits. Jack Sweeney, a college graduate who has famously tracked Swift’s plane via a flight tracker, claims that the luxury jet is currently undergoing “heavy maintenance” after falling into a state of disrepair.
Sweeney’s X account, *TaylorSwiftJets*, reports that the plane’s last trip was on June 9th, flying from Nashville to Little Rock, Arkansas. This followed several days of flights around Florida, coinciding with Swift and her fiancé Travis Kelce’s visit to watch the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers face off in the Stanley Cup Final.
### Details on Swift’s Luxury Plane
The jet, a 16-year-old Dassault Falcon 7X, is clearly taking a well-deserved rest after a busy few years in the air. It had already flown more than 70 times in the first six months of this year before being temporarily grounded.
This private jet can carry up to 11 passengers and travel over 6,000 miles at speeds of up to 540 miles per hour. During 2023, Swift’s busiest tour year, her two jets—which included one she sold last year—traveled a combined total of 178,000 miles. To put that into perspective, that’s equivalent to flying around the world seven times, emitting approximately 1,200 tonnes of CO2.
### Legal Threat Over Jet Tracking
Jack Sweeney, who gained notoriety for tracking Swift’s plane, has previously faced legal challenges. In December 2023, Swift’s legal team sent him a “cease and desist” letter, accusing him of aiding stalkers and putting the singer’s safety at risk.
The letter stated:
*”While this may be a game to you, or an avenue that you hope will earn you wealth or fame, it is a life-or-death matter for our Client. Ms. Swift has dealt with stalkers and other individuals who wish her harm since she was a teenager… the reality has forced our Client to live her life in a constant state of fear for her personal safety.”*
Despite the threat, Sweeney remains unrepentant and continues his tracking activities.
### Elon Musk Also Clashed with Sweeney
Sweeney is no stranger to high-profile confrontations. Previously, in 2022, he clashed with Elon Musk after managing a jet-tracker account for the Tesla founder. Musk accused Sweeney of endangering his life by sharing his plane’s real-time location and even offered $5,000 to stop the tracking—but Sweeney refused.
Speaking to *The Sun*, Sweeney said:
*”They [Swift and Musk] both have different kinds of powers. But if I’m not gonna back down from someone that I was kind of a fan of, like Elon, so why would I back down for Swift? They thought that just because of the [cease and desist] letter, they’d try and intimidate me.”*
He added:
*”They don’t want you there, they’re the bigger person, have bigger power, and they think they can do stuff like that.”*

As Taylor Swift’s private jet remains grounded for maintenance, the planet gets a temporary respite from the carbon emissions caused by her busy travel schedule. Whether this marks the start of a more eco-conscious chapter for the pop icon remains to be seen.

While not much is known about *VisionQuest* yet, and a trailer has not been released, footage shown at New York Comic Con suggests that the evil White Vision will grapple with the fallout of *WandaVision*. His original body (Red Vision) died, but he regained all of his memories.
Series star Paul Bettany shared insights about the show during NYCC:
*“What’s different about Vision right now is that Red Vision gave Vision all of his memories, including the memories from within the Hex. But White Vision is having real difficulty connecting to them,”* he explained.
*“So he has the memories, but he doesn’t have the emotions and the feelings, and I think that’s what the journey is. White Vision’s journey during the show is about his attempt to connect to those memories and who he was… but with lasers!”*
Stay tuned for more updates and the official trailer as the series approaches its release next year.
