Center Ryan Kelly, 32, announces retirement from NFL EAGAN, Minn. — Longtime NFL center Ryan Kelly announced his retirement Friday after a decade in the league, concluding his career following a challenging 2025 season with the Minnesota Vikings. Kelly, who turned 32 in 2025, cited an injury-filled year as the reason for his decision. In a post on his X account, he reflected on his journey, stating, “What an incredible ride it was. I was blessed to be around some of the greatest people this sport has to offer. I always wanted to leave each place better than how I found it. Forever grateful for my family and brothers! Cheers.” Kelly spent nine seasons with the Indianapolis Colts before joining the Vikings in 2025. Throughout his career, he sustained six documented concussions, including three during the 2025 season with Minnesota. After being diagnosed with concussions in Weeks 2 and 4, he spent nearly two months on injured reserve. Upon returning in Week 12, he switched helmet models and began wearing a Guardian Cap for the first time. His final concussion occurred in Week 16, ending his season. The Vikings had hoped Kelly could contribute for multiple seasons after waiving former starter Garrett Bradbury. In his absence, seventh-round draft pick Michael Jurgens started three games, while backup tackle/guard Blake Brandel also filled in. Both Jurgens and Brandel are considered potential candidates for the 2026 starting role, though the team may explore additional options through free agency or the draft. Kelly, selected with the 18th overall pick in the 2016 draft, started 129 games over his 10-year career. He was named to four Pro Bowls and earned second-team All-Pro honors in 2020. His retirement will free up $8.#ryan_kelly #minnesota_vikings #indianapolis_colts #guardian_cap #michael_jurgens

Calgary Flames Acquire Prospect Forward Brennan Othmann from New York Rangers The Calgary Flames have acquired forward Brennan Othmann from the New York Rangers in a trade finalized on Friday. According to reports from The Athletic, the Rangers received prospect Jacob Battaglia in exchange for Othmann. The deal marks a strategic move for both teams as they prepare for the remainder of the season and the upcoming trade deadline. Othmann, 23, has emerged as a key prospect for the Flames, having played 17 games for the Rangers this season and recorded a goal. His performance in the NHL has been complemented by strong play in the American Hockey League (AHL), where he has tallied eight goals and 16 points in 26 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack. The 6-foot winger is entering the final season of his three-year, entry-level contract, which carries a cap hit of $863,333. He is set to become a restricted free agent at the end of the season. Drafted 16th overall by the Rangers in 2021, Othmann has accumulated a goal and three points in 42 NHL games. His AHL career includes 41 goals and 85 points across 120 games, showcasing his offensive potential. The Pickering, Ont., native has also represented Canada internationally, earning gold medals at the World Juniors in 2022 and 2023. His combination of NHL experience and AHL production makes him a valuable addition to the Flames’ roster. The trade reflects the Flames’ efforts to bolster their depth and address specific needs. Othmann’s ability to contribute at both the NHL and AHL levels aligns with the team’s long-term goals. Meanwhile, the Rangers’ acquisition of Battaglia suggests a focus on developing younger talent while managing their cap space.#jacob_battaglia #new_york_rangers #calgary_flames #brennan_othmann #hartford_wolf_pack

Jacob Battaglia Traded to New York Rangers Jacob Battaglia was traded to the New York Rangers from the Calgary Flames on Friday in a deal that included Brennan Othmann, according to Peter Baugh of The Athletic. The transaction marks a significant move for the 20-year-old forward, who has spent the majority of his professional career in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) despite being selected by Calgary in the second round of the 2024 NHL Draft. Battaglia, who has remained in the OHL rather than joining the Flames' junior team, has made an impact this season with the Flint Firebirds. In 22 appearances, he recorded 12 goals, four assists, and 14 penalty minutes. His performance has caught the attention of NHL teams, leading to his rights being transferred to the Rangers. The deal underscores the growing interest in Battaglia’s development as a prospect, with the Rangers looking to bolster their depth in the forward corps. The trade also involves Brennan Othmann, a player the Flames had previously acquired. Othmann’s inclusion in the deal highlights the Flames’ strategy to balance their roster while acquiring assets for their future. For Battaglia, the move to the Rangers represents a step toward NHL opportunities, though he will need to prove himself in the OHL before earning a spot in the NHL. Battaglia’s journey from the 2024 draft to this trade reflects the competitive nature of NHL prospect development. While many drafted players move directly to professional teams, Battaglia’s continued presence in the OHL demonstrates the importance of seasoning and performance in the junior league. His 12 goals and 14 PIM this season showcase his offensive potential and physicality, traits that could translate well to the NHL level.#jacob_battaglia #new_york_rangers #calgary_flames #brennan_othmann #flint_firebirds

In a 1st in India, Karnataka links liquor tax to alcohol content Karnataka is introducing a new alcohol-in-beverage (AIB) based excise duty system from April, becoming the first state to directly link liquor taxation to alcohol content. This reform aims to modernize the system, improve transparency, and simplify pricing, potentially making beer and wine cheaper. The state also plans to promote alcohol tourism and allow 24-hour operations for distilleries and breweries. #Karnataka #Karnataka_links #content_Karnataka #links_liquor #alcohol_content #based_excise #liquor_tax #directly_link #liquor_taxation #excise_duty
