Convinced he had no way to chew food and would die of choking or starvation, I sent Brent Burns away for Claude Giroux. BRAINY SPORTS #1 Hockey is really the finest of the big four. It has elegance, it has rough edges, it has an amazing new 3-on-3 overtime. It has the highest quality of […]
Late last month a federal appeals court denied New Jersey’s bid to legalize sports gambling at racetracks and casinos.

At the start of this season, Ondrej Pavelec was the clear starter for the Winnipeg Jets. He had the big contract and the pedigree, so to speak. His backup, Michael Hutchinson, only had three NHL games under his belt heading into this year so when he started stealing starts from Pavelec, many were a little […]
With most trade deadlines in the rear view mirror, fantasy hockey leagues, depending on the size, are either in playoff mode or about to start the “second season.” This means rosters are pretty much set and GMs are hoping they did enough to contend…Or so they thought.

Much of the past few days have been dominated by golf news. National media outlets and local outlets alike are talking about the PGA-LIV Golf merger.
