On November 5th in 2005, Vancouver Canucks resident pest Jarkko Ruutu punked Calgary Flames rookie defenseman Dion Phaneuf, flirting with fisticuffs then falling the 2003 first round draft pick with his stick. Adding injury to insult, Phaneuf was assessed a two minute unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the play. Calgary survived the ensuing 5-on-3 powerplay, four minutes into the final frame, and
On November 5th in 1955, Jean Béliveau scored three powerplay goals in 44 seconds against Boston Bruins netminder Terry Sawchuck collecting the fastest hat trick in Montreal Canadiens club history. Trailing 2-0 in the second period, the Montreal unit of Doug Harvey, Tom Johnson, Jean Béliveau, Maurice Richard, and Bert Olmstead dominated Boston with a two-man advantage as sin-binners Cal Gardner
As was the case when it was just an MLB investigation, I will be careful to say at the top that everything public about the Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz betting scandal is an allegation . Nothing has yet been admitted or adjudicated as fact, so there remains that sliver of possibility that this has all been some kind of grand misunderstanding. That said, the allegations in the federal indictment against Clase and Ortiz are robust, and appear to the be the product of a pretty extensive in...
The Miami Dolphins pulled off the upset win over the Buffalo Bills in Week 10, dominating their AFC East rivals from the opening kickoff until the final whistle. It was an impressive performance from a team that has struggled to look competitive for much of the first half of the 2025 NFL season. Now 3-7 […]
The good news is that Liverpool Women earned their first point of the season over the weekend when they managed a 1-1 draw with Brighton. The bad news is they remain level on points with last-place West Ham after the Hammers also drew—and that it felt like they should have had more. Liverpool were ahead […]
How are we already 10 weeks through this NFL season? And how are the Patriots currently sitting at 8-2? With road wins over the Bills and Buccaneers? I’ll tell you how: like Tony Romo said in yesterday’s broadcast, this team is D.T.F. I don’t remember what Romo filled out those letters with – Determined, Talented, […]
We continue our Season in Review series today with a quick look at a pitcher that we barely got to know. It feels like we barely got to know you, Matt Krook. How was he acquired? A former 4th-round draft pick by the Giants, Krook had spent six years (plus one canceled pandemic season) climbing […]
The Chicago Bears might be winning games, but they aren’t doing their fans any favors by how close they keep cutting it these last-minute wins. For the second straight week, the offense had to win the game in the final two minutes of the game. Unlike last weekend’s team effort, Sunday’s win was all about […]
As part of this brutal beginning stretch on the Miami Heat’s 2025-26 schedule, they will face yet another difficult challenge against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night. It will be the first of a two-game homestand set versus the 7-3 and second seeded Cavs for Miami. The Heat, going into the matchup sporting a 6-4 […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat to begin two-game homestand against second seed Cavaliers appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
The Royals enter this offseason looking to upgrade an offense that finished with the fifth-fewest runs scored in baseball. The biggest area of weakness was easily the outfield. Royals outfielders combined to hit .225/.285/.348, equaling a 73 wRC+, by far the worst in baseball. The Royals are hoping for some improvement to come from development […]
The Los Angeles Rams now hold a top-10 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft as the Atlanta Falcons lost their fourth straight game. There is still a lot of uncertainty when it comes to which quarterbacks are going to declare for the 2026 NFL Draft. However, this past weekend was a good test when it […]

Coming off an excellent 2024 season, and six seasons into his career, with free agency a possibility after the 2025 season, we were all wondering what 2025 would bring. We knew he was going to get a big payday at some point this year. Either from the Blue Jays or from someone else after the […]
Last week, the WNBA announced it will be holding the WNBA Draft Lottery on November 23rd. This will determine the order of the first five picks of the 2026 WNBA Draft. Teams picking are the Dallas Wings, Minnesota Lynx (who own Chicago’s pick), Seattle Storm (who own the LA Sparks’ pick), Washington Mystics, and Chicago […]
The Dallas Cowboys are in uncharted waters this week as they are visiting the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football. While the Cowboys have played the Raiders in Las Vegas in the preseason before, this will mark the former’s first-ever regular season trip to Sin City. While the Cowboys are doing something for the […]
You just knew when you saw Ole Miss favored by 50+ points that there was such a slim chance they would cover that. First two weeks of the season when you are trying to figure things out? Hell yeah. But 10th game of the season, relatively healthy with the College Football Playoff firmly in sight? […]
The Detroit Lions didn’t just bounce back from a frustrating loss last week — they exploded. Behind a rejuvenated Jared Goff and an offense firing on every cylinder, Detroit rolled into Washington and buried the Commanders 44-22 in a game that never felt close. Lions Roll the Commanders; Dan Campbell Takes Over Playcalling It was the first meeting between the two teams since last season’s playoff shocker, when Washington stunned Detroit in the divisional round. This time, the Lions m...
The Rangers are making major changes up front as Vincent Trocheck returns and Gabe Perreault gets a top-line shot against Nashville.
One week into the season, and we already have a change at the top of the Other Top 25. Saint Mary’s and San Diego State swapped in the top two spots with the Gaels ascending to No. 1. Randy Bennett’s squad is 2-0 with a pair of blowout wins. SMC routed Summit League favorite St. […]
After the absolute drubbing the Edmonton Oilers were handed on Saturday night, perhaps it’s best that Monday’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets is behind a subscription paywall. It’s Monday Night Hockey on Amazon Prime… yippee! Two different brands of .500 collide here. The Blue Jackets are a more earnest 7-7 against the Oilers, loser-pointed…
The Dallas Cowboys’ bye week is closing and they now return to prep for a game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football. The Cowboys record, 3-5-1, obviously didn’t move over the weekend. The Las Vegas Raiders played on Thursday night, and lost to the Denver Broncos 10-7. The Raiders are 2-7 on […]
If the Green Bay Packers defeat the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football this evening, the two teams’ performances on third downs should be a major factor. In fact, those numbers are likely a significant reason why the Packers remain favored coming into this game, even coming off a devastating upset loss to the Carolina […]
All of the sudden, it’s been almost a month since Mizzou won a football game. That’s sort of hard to fathom. For the past two and a half years, we’ve become pretty used to Mizzou winning most of their games. You have to go back to early October 2022 for the last time the Tigers […]
We thought the 2026 Syracuse Orange football schedule would feature a game against Notre Dame. While the location of the game was unclear, it now appears that the game itself might not happen next season. A report from Irish Illustrated Insider indicates that the Fighting Irish are going to have their 2026 schedule revised. In […]
Even as they get guys back on the court, it is still a ramp-up process for the Sixers. Jared McCain has been back for two games after injuring his thumb in preseason as well as still recovering from the knee injury that cut short his rookie season. His first game back in Chicago was certainly […]
