76ers Star Jaylen Brown Addresses ‘False Allegations’ About Celtics Trade

Oct 29, 2026 at 11:04 AM EDT Amid speculation about a feud with former Boston Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum, Philadelphia 76ers star Jaylen Brown is also pushing back against reports that he privately requested a trade from the Celtics this offseason. The reports originated from former NBA player Brian Scalabrine, now an NBC Sports Boston analyst, on his SiriusXM radio show, "The Starting Lineup." Scalabrine claimed that Brown privately "demanded to be traded" by the Celtics. Brown was asked on Wednesday about these claims, which Scalabrine has since partially walked back. "I guess it is what it is. I saw that. You know, I saw Scal made some comments. I've never had any issues with Scal. I love Scal, but I guess he's doing what he has to do. I can understand why he feels the need to do that, but I have no interest of letting any false allegations follow me to my next chapter here in…

“I Can’t Ignore This”: Packers Legend Brett Favre, Diagnosed With Parkinson’s, Admits Terrifying CTE Fears

Oct 29, 2026 | 2:03 PM EDT “Well, hell, I wrote the book on head trauma,” said Favre at that time. However, repeated head injuries and concussions can also raise concerns about chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative disease that can currently be confirmed only after death. Over the years, several former NFL players have been diagnosed with CTE through postmortem brain examinations. Now, a new study published in JAMA Network Open has shed further light on the prevalence of CTE among deceased NFL players. As the findings came to light, Brett Favre shared a concerning social media post, urging people to pay attention to the issue. The study, titled “Bias-Adjusted Prevalence of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Among Deceased National Football League Players,” was published in JAMA Network Open and conducted by researchers from Boston University, Mass General Brigham…

From spells to tarot: witchcraft stores brew sense of community among young Canadians

By Ritika Dubey, The Canadian Press Posted October 29, 2026 4:00 am. A whiff of palo santo incense, cosy lighting and Pinterest-worthy vintage cabinets may have drawn you into this newly opened store in downtown Oakville, Ont. But there’s more than just witchy esthetics, energy-cleansing smoke bundles and spell kits at The Witch’s Fix. It’s what happens in the backroom of this store: A herbalist teaching ways of plant magic and plant medicine, a candle-making workshop, tarot reading sessions and a lesson on leather bookbinding on a weekend afternoon. “We really did want to create a space where people can come and hang out and just try something different,” said co-founder Maria Cavero, who bought the first location of The Witch’s Fix in Hamilton, Ont., in 2021 with her best friend Gabriela Rosas. “We just wanted to give people more of a community feel.” That’s been the secret potion to…

Wegmans confirms UWS location is underway despite 2 years of silence since announcement

Suburban grocery heaven is taking root in the heart of Manhattan. Wegmans has confirmed it is bringing its beloved aisles to the Upper West Side, a spokesperson revealed to West Side Rag on Tuesday. The premium grocer will take over 1932 Broadway, between West 64th and 65th streets — a prime space where teaser signage has hung for over two years. The site originally housed Bed Bath & Beyond, which closed in early 2023 during companywide store reductions and bankruptcy proceedings. Wegmans signs went up in June 2024, but the storefront remained vacant. Company spokesperson Mandee Puleo confirmed the grocer is actively designing the layout and securing municipal permits. While an official opening date remains up in the air, the store’s arrival is locked in. The Upper West Side location will mark the chain’s second Manhattan store. Company reps noted in February that real estate…
