This is a lot of words to say what we've known for a long time now. Hockey is expensive and the USA Hockey model is hot garbage. Cannibalize the USHL into the OHL, open multiple avenues to roster spots, and pay athletes similar to NIL deals. There, fixed it for you.

It's time for an honest, uncomfortable conversation. Is hockey in a more perilous position on the sports landscape than we're ready to acknowledge? The numbers are not pretty. Where do we go from here? This Thanksgiving, thoughts and reflection: dailyfaceoff.com/news/sounding-…



Listen, he's a likeable guy. He had a wonderful career and by all accounts, he's a great family man. That said, I'm oversaturated on Jason Kelce. He's everywhere now, pregame, postgame, halftime, commercials, podcasts, etc. Better than Stephen A, but holy shit enough already

Jason Kelce is becoming a quarterback of late-night sports entertainment TV, launching a new show — “They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce” — that will air five consecutive Friday Nights beginning January 3 and throughout the NFL playoffs.

Edzo gave us an extremely powerful message for those going through cancer and shares his own struggles with the disease 💜


This is a tremendous accomplishment for everyone involved, and long overdue. Maybe London won't have to pay...well, better leave that alone.

Baseball's Justin Williams. Some guys just have the clutch gene

Freddie Freeman has now homered in six consecutive World Series games.



So Jake McCabe is the guy that defers money to lower his cap hit, but "you know who" is going to squeeze every last cent out of the Leafs.

There is money deferred as part of this deal (between years 2 and 3 of the extension). Drops the AAV from $4.7M-ish to $4.51M

The 👁️ of #hurricanemilton2024🌀 during a mission Oct. 8. Listen to local officials, evacuate if told to do so, and stay #weatherready


Progress has been made? Same record as 2023 Bednar was tipping pitches, and a RP turned YouTuber told you how Tellez screwed out of $200k Franchise SS moved to CF Best catcher this year was a waiver claim, not the 1st overall pick Nutting is no better than Fisher, no $$$

Why should fans believe things will change for the Pirates? Again, here's Ben Cherington:

Stock in AquaFence 📈

As #HurricaneHelene continues, the AquaFence at TGH stands firm. The water-impermeable barrier is designed to withstand storm surge up to 15 feet. It has worked through multiple rain events to prevent storm waters from impacting hospital operations. #WeAreTGH #StormWatch



Oneil Cruz is a supremely gifted athlete, and as a lowly Pirates fan I am grateful to have him. That said, his baserunning is abhorrent and he needs coaching. Two TOOTBLAN's in the same game. It's just another example of this team not being serious about winning.

Hello from the eye of Hurricane #Helene!👋 Check out the view from @NOAA WP-3D Orion #NOAA43 "Miss Piggy" from this morning's mission. Flights collect data to refine intensity forecasts and support hurricane research. Check @NHC_Atlantic and hurricanes.gov for the latest…


Being a Pirates fan under Bob Nutting is nothing but cruel and unusual punishment. There's no development, players are seeking outside help, we nickel and dime talent, and surely the best pitcher in a generation will be wasted without any spending to get help. Embarrassing.

Just an update on the Tellez situation. I have confirmed with multiple sources that @EthanHullihen was correct: Tellez was just four plate appearances away from a $200k bonus. Derek Shelton, however, said this afternoon that the bonus did NOT factor into the decision to DFA…



I'll try to keep it professional, but calling Tony DeAngelo still being a free agent "baffling" is ludicrous. Not a good teammate, nor someone I'd want in the room. There's no amount of production that overshadows his off-ice nonsense. Frank must have his agent in his ear.

Some notable UFA defensemen not in training camps today: -Justin Schultz: Received multiple firm offers, patient to find right fit as perhaps top unsigned defenseman. -Tony DeAngelo: Baffling that a proven 40 to 50-point right-shot defenseman is unsigned as a 28-year-old. On due…



Wouldn't dare see a Maple Leaf take a discount, they're so focused on squeezing every penny for themselves. Imagine if the "core four" had a gentleman's agreement to deduct their pay by a reasonable amount to benefit the team. Sid's on a different level.

Incredibly, Sidney Crosby will end up playing 19 (!) of his NHL seasons with a cap hit of $8.7M. That has given the #pens tremendous flexibility to build out other areas of their roster at the expense of much greater career earnings for him personally.



Sad to hear that Stephen Peat passed away, he lived a hard life after hockey. Rest in peace, and condolences to his family and friends. Hard to imagine that him, Belak, Boogaard, Simon and more aren't with us any longer. youtu.be/66ImV578p4M?si…

Welles Crowther’s bravery and heroism on 9/11 shall never be forgotten. As survivor Judy Wein, who was rescued by Crowther notes, “People can live 100 years and not have the compassion, the wherewithal to do what he did.”
