Bob Odenkirk's vacation gets violent in top notch "Nobody 2" trailer
"Nobody" was an unexpected film in a few ways. For starters, the 2021 movie is a violent action movie starring Bob Odenkirk, a fiftysomething man best known for sketch comedy and "Better Call Saul." Now, he was getting his own "John Wick" in a way, playing a man with a certain set of skills provoked into tapping back into a violent past he had tried to leave behind him. In this instance, though, he's a suburban family man and, you know, Bob Odenkirk.
Beyond the very conceit, though, "Nobody" proved both a box-office success and a well-received movie. It's an enjoyable action film. When a sequel was announced, though, there was some reason for skepticism. What kind of story could they tell that would be worthwhile? Would "Nobody 2" work without the element of Odenkirk's Hutch Mansell surprising with his assassin history? Well, now that the trailer for "Nobody 2" is out, we've moved past any skepticism.
It's the classic sequel plot: The gang goes on the road! Hey, it worked for "A Very Brady Sequel," it can work for "Nobody 2." Though Hutch's family knows about his past, now, and even though he's back at it full time, that doesn't mean they can't enjoy a vacation. Unless, of course, a scenery-chewing Sharon Stone has designs on stopping that from happening.
Maybe it's just the trailer, but said trailer combined with the poster does have us believing this movie is going to have more comedy in it. It seems a bit more over-the-top in terms of set pieces. This, frankly, would be welcome. That's exactly what "Nobody 2" should be. It uses the best of what Odenkirk can do in the role.
This could also, in theory, be a case of the trailer showing all the best bits. Still, for now, we're looking forward to "Nobody 2" in a much stronger way than before we saw the trailer. It comes out August 15, which is still summer-y but past the real summer blockbuster season. That is to say, it's the perfect weekend to go watch a killer trying to enjoy some family time.

Leafs Declined Knies Trade as Forward Talks Offer Sheet Leverage
According to Elliotte Friedman on 32 Thoughts, the Toronto Maple Leafs had the opportunity to trade Matthew Knies for superstar forward Mikko Rantanen—but declined. Friedman didn’t specify whether the potential deal was with the Colorado Avalanche or the Carolina Hurricanes. Still, the mere possibility has stirred speculation about how highly the Leafs value their young winger. This, coupled with talk of a potential offer sheet, has fans wondering about Knies’ future and the priority the organization is placing on getting his extension done. Knies, a pending restricted free agent, has become a key part of Toronto’s offseason plans. Despite the team’s disappointing second-round exit and looming decisions on key veterans like Mitch Marner and John Tavares, Knies appears to be part of the club’s long-term core. Rumors Surrounding Knies Making Headlines Rumors have circulated that a rival team could attempt to pry Knies away with an offer sheet this summer, but the 21-year-old quickly shut that down. “I want to be here,” Knies said. “I want to play here. That’s all that matters to me.” Insiders have also expressed confidence that a deal with GM Brad Treliving would get done. One analyst noted, “I’m not concerned that it’s not going to get done. He’s got the money, he understands the value of the player.” In fact, the Leafs value Knies so highly that Friedman’s report that they turned down the opportunity to trade Knies for Rantanen suggests he’s their top priority. The same can’t be said for Mitch Marner, whom the Leafs approached about a trade, but Marner declined to waive his no-move clause. Knies, who battled through an undisclosed injury during the playoffs, is viewed as a power forward with immense upside—something the Leafs sorely lack. With speculation now mounting that Marner could be traded ahead of free agency, Knies might be the guy who gets most of the money Marner was likely to receive. If the Leafs truly turned down Rantanen for Knies, it signals just how much faith the front office has in the young forward’s potential—and how critical he is to the team’s future. The fact that he’s balking at offer sheet talk and might not use his leverage that comes with being an offer sheet target suggests a deal might be right around the corner.
Miami Dolphins 2 best trade targets to round out 2025 roster
After seasons of near-contender status and bursts of offensive brilliance, the Miami Dolphins now find themselves fighting to hold ground in a brutally competitive AFC. The foundation of a high-flying offense and playmaking defense remains. However, cracks are beginning to show. If the Dolphins want to keep up with the likes of Kansas City, Baltimore, and Cincinnati, they’ll need to get aggressive. Trade season may be the last major lever they can pull to stabilize the roster. That means targeting proven contributors who can address glaring holes, provide versatility, and—most importantly—offer immediate value. Offseason Recap It’s hard to think the Dolphins are in a better spot than when they started the offseason. They lost Jevon Holland and also have some uncertainty with stars Jalen Ramsey and Tyreek Hill. Miami did bolster their offensive line by bringing in James Daniels. They further solidified the trenches by drafting defensive tackle Kenneth Grant and offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea. Still, serious concerns linger—especially in the secondary. Rumors of a Ramsey trade only add to the anxiety. Without Ramsey on the field in 2024, the Dolphins’ defense managed just a 53.6 PFF coverage grade. That’s an alarming number for a team that often runs Cover 2. That also makes the search for a reliable cornerback an urgent priority. Now, yes, secondary concerns dominate the headlines. That said, there’s another opportunity: adding a utility weapon on offense to stretch Mike McDaniel’s playbook even further. Here we’ll try to to look at the players who are the Miami Dolphins 2 best trade targets to round out their 2025 roster. Target 1: Greg Newsome II When former first-round pick Greg Newsome’s name surfaced in trade talks during the draft, it was easy to understand why. Despite showing early promise in his rookie campaign, Newsome hasn’t made the leap the Browns had hoped for. Last season, he was credited with allowing a 120.7 passer rating in coverage. That’s a jarring number for a corner in a defense that was otherwise elite up front. Still, there are reasons to believe Newsome could thrive in Miami. First, the Dolphins’ scheme emphasizes zone discipline and Cover 2 responsibilities. That’s a potentially good fit for Newsome’s strengths. Second, a fresh start—especially under a veteran secondary coach—could rejuvenate his confidence and maximize his still-intriguing athletic profile. The challenge is financial. Newsome is on the books for a fully guaranteed $13.38 million fifth-year option in 2025. That’s a steep price for a player who hasn’t shown much growth over his first four years. However, that same contract detail is why the Browns might be open to dealing him. This is especially true as they evaluate their long-term secondary core and look to recoup mid-round draft capital. Miami, meanwhile, is in a win-now window. If they believe Ramsey’s health or future is uncertain, Newsome represents a potential low-risk, high-reward play. In short: the talent is there. The price is tough. But the fit? Potentially just what the Dolphins need to shore up a secondary that can’t afford to collapse. Target 2: Taysom Hill Let’s be honest: there’s no player in the NFL quite like Taysom Hill. A quarterback by trade. A tight end by practice. A special teams weapon. A fullback. A runner. A receiver. A Wildcat bruiser. You name it, Hill has lined up there. Sure, his career has often been a riddle wrapped in a gimmick. However, his utility has never been in question. And with the Saints staring down a potential rebuild, Hill’s days in New Orleans may be numbered. He’s 34 and carries a $10 million base salary in the final year of his deal. In addition, he is more of a luxury than a necessity for a team focused on developing young core players. That opens the door for a forward-thinking team to make a move. Enter the Miami Dolphins. Mike McDaniel would find no shortage of ways to deploy Hill. He could spell Tua in short-yardage. He could run jet motion and misdirection in 12 personnel. He could line up as a lead blocker, an H-back, a red zone threat, or even a trick-play quarterback. In an offense that already features Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and De’von Achane, Hill would add another dimension—one defenses would struggle to game plan for. The caveat is salary. At $10 million, Hill’s base salary expensive. However, he’s also in a contract year. The Dolphins could negotiate a restructure or incentivized deal that lessens the cap burden. This is especially true if the Saints are willing to eat some of the number in exchange for a future Day 3 draft pick. At this point in the offseason, Miami doesn’t need a full overhaul. They need chess pieces. Hill gives them one of the most unique chess pieces in the NFL. Looking Ahead The Dolphins have taken strides to improve their roster this offseason, but the job isn’t done. The secondary remains fragile and the offensive playbook could benefit from another dynamic wrinkle. Greg Newsome and Taysom Hill are far from traditional trade targets—but that’s precisely what makes them intriguing. Newsome has the raw talent to flourish in a new environment, and Hill has the versatility to make life a nightmare for defenses every Sunday. If Miami wants to stay relevant in the AFC arms race, calculated risks like these might just be the moves that separate them from the pack.
Raiders provide worrisome update on DT Christian Wilkins
Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll provided a concerning update Wednesday on defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, who has been sidelined because of a Jones fracture in his left foot since October 2024. "This has been a difficult recovery," the first-year Raiders coach told the Las Vegas media. "He's done everything he needs to do, and he's here every day. He's here early working hard. He's still working it and he's not ready to get back out. We're in the midst of a long, challenging process." Wilkins wore a walking boot at the end of the season and again during part of OTAs, according to Tashan Reed of The Athletic. The Raiders had hoped to see Wilkins practicing at OTAs. In the 2024 offseason, the Raiders signed Wilkins in free agency to a four-year, $110M contract, expecting him to be a major contributor. At the time of his injury, Wilkins had 17 tackles, two sacks, six quarterback hits and two tackles for loss. With Wilkins sidelined, Las Vegas got major contributions from DT Adam Butler, who finished the season with 65 tackles and five sacks. He's back, but the Raiders lost journeyman DT John Jenkins to the Baltimore Ravens in the offseason in free agency and don't have great veteran depth at the position. In the 2025 NFL Draft, the Raiders selected DTs Tonka Hemingway of South Carolina in the fourth round and JJ Pegues of Mississippi in the sixth round. The Raiders apparently made those selections knowing Wilkins could miss time in 2025. "Fortunately, there is a lot of time, and we're going to take every bit of it," Carroll said. "We really tried to be diligent about the way we worked [with Wilkins and the injury], the way we monitored it and all of that, and he's been on board the whole time. It has been challenging." It will be a big blow for the Raiders if Wilkins misses significant time. A 1-2 punch of Wilkins and Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby could be a major force in a highly competitive AFC West.
Lakers Reportedly Already 'Talked to' Bucks Star
The Los Angeles Lakers continue to try to find a way to improve the roster. Losing in the first round of the playoffs was not the kind of finish they had in mind for this season. After the trade for Mark Williams failed at the trade deadline, it was clear that the center position was going to be the biggest hole on the roster in the playoffs. That ended up being the case. The top priority for the Lakers this offseason is to get a center who can help them protect the rim. That's why they have already reached out to a Bucks star player. Los Angeles has reportedly already reached out to center Brook Lopez about a possible reunion. Lopez played for the Lakers for one season back in 2017-18. Lopez is 37 years old and will be ending his career soon. The Bucks have kept him because of how good of a defensive player he is. He also stretches the floor well. That is the exact kind of center the Lakers are looking to add, although Lopez is a bit older than someone they would like to bring in because of how young Luka Doncic is. Despite his advanced age, Lopez has shown the ability to still play very well. The Lakers might still be okay with that as they try to chase a title with LeBron James nearing the end of his career, as well. More Lakers news: Lakers Fans Vehemently Push Against Russell Westbrook Reunion Los Angeles is going to check around the league to add a center who is better than Jaxson Hayes. Unfortunately for them, the options are limited at that spot. The Lakers don't have enough cap space to make a push for anyone in free agency. They would have to do a sign-and-trade in order to get one of those centers. Los Angeles does have some assets to trade in order to land the kind of center that they want to pair with Doncic for years to come. Lopez would just be a stop-gap. This past season, Lopez averaged 13 points, five rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game.
