The Blues began the second half of the season with a resounding thud in Calgary. But overall, the major indicators say this can be a contending team, one that can make a deep playoff run. Even with Jordan Binnington’s struggles. Look no farther than the four major statistical categories of NHL hockey for proof that St. Louis has the ingredients of a top 10 team: — Goals for: Fifth in the NHL at 3.45 goals per game. — Goals against: Ninth, at 2.71 goals per game. — Power play: Third, at 28.9 percent. — Penalty kill: Fourth, at 84.3 percent. The numbers are all the more impressive when consideri…

After the three-time Pro Bowler sat out the entirety of this last year, his intention to leave the franchise remains the same. A handful of teams have been involved in discussions for Watson over the last 12 months, including the Miami Dolphins, the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers. However, there’s reportedly one “sleeper team” that could pursue the 26-year-old this spring. According to NFL insider and former ESPN analyst Jordan Schultz, the Minneso…

By Conor Orr It was easy for the Saints to go all in when they had one of the league’s top coaches and play-callers. But they have to be ready for what comes next. View the original article to see embedded media. Sean Payton walked away from the Saints on Tuesday owing the team, the town and his former bosses absolutely nothing. The same could be said for Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady if, after mentioning on his podcast this week the wear and tear football has brought to his personal life, he decided to walk away, too.

By Jason Jordan All 24 of the players named to this year’s roster were represented in the SI99. Dereck Lively can vividly recall watching James Wiseman dunking balls and taking names in the McDonald’s All American Game in 2019. Lively also watched Duke’s dominant quartet of Tre Jones, Cam Reddish, Zion Williamson and R.J. Barrett in 2018 and he always thought it was cool to see the different YouTube clips of the players visiting the Ronald McDonald House during the week of the game. “I just wanted to be a part of it all,” said Lively, a center at Westtown School (West Chester, Penn.), who is r…

And from the looks of this reaction from Saints linebacker Qwon Alexander, even Payton’s own players didn’t expect this coming. “Well damn!” Alexander wrote on Twitter after the news broke. Alexander joined the Saints organization midway through the 2020 season in a trade with the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran LB logged 19 games and 15 starts with Payton as his head coach. Alexander added another message after his…

Janet Jackson does not have the fondest memories of her late brother, Michael. “There were times when Mike used to tease me and call me names – pig, horse, slut, or hog, cow,” recalls the 55-year-old kid actress-turned-pop icon in her highly-anticipated documentary, Janet, which premieres Friday on A&E and Lifetime. “He would laugh about it, and I’d laugh too,” she admits. “But then there was somewhere down inside that it would hurt. When you have somebody say you’re too heavy, it affects you.” Neither Janet nor Michael – who died in 2009 at the age of 50 – had a particularly peachy childhood…

With the inclement weather, you probably won’t get to wear them right away, but they’ll certainly keep you ‘fitted up in the event you’re stuck in your electric vehicle — also, at the bar, function or some otherwise temperature-controlled locale — and you can channel that anticipation into dreaming up killer combos to rock all spring.

By Steven Lassan A complete breakdown of five key roster priorities for new Washington coach Kalen DeBoer to address in 2022. A disappointing 4-8 record prompted a change at Washington. Jimmy Lake was dismissed, with the Huskies turning to Kalen DeBoer to turn the program’s fortune around in 2022. DeBoer – a successful offensive coordinator and head coach at a couple of stops – is a good hire and fit for Washington. The cupboard isn’t completely bare, so there should be some noticeable improvement this year. However, the development of the quarterback position and improvement in a couple of ar…
