Randy Moss is cancer-free and angling for the next big catch in pursuit of his bass fishing passion: “That’s my passion right now. That’s my hobby. That’s my getaway. That’s my therapy,”

MLB ABS 101: A Visual Guide to the New Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System. When is the best time to challenge a ball/strike? Also, what Milwaukee was doing during spring training by putting up a card on the dugout fence earned them a slap from the league office. The rule states that only a player can challenge a call, but MLB viewed the cards that Milwaukee was using as instructions from the coaching staff. Of course, it wasn't a specific instruction to challenge the latest call, but rather it was just letting the batter know that it was a good time to challenge if the batter thought it should be done.

Under Peter Karmanos, the team was floundering, missing the playoffs, hiring incompetent coaches, taking no chances, and seemingly fine with losing. Us Caniacs were ready for new ownership and we got it. Yeah, Dundon makes crazy decisions that we don't always like, but he wants what us fans want: a winning hockey team that is capable of earning the Cup every season. The Dundon-led Hurricanes are the complete opposite of the Karmanos era. They've taken chances on a rookie head coach, a rookie GM, bold choices in the free agent market and trade market, and some of those chances worked out magically and some haven't. So what? Find guys that do work out and keep moving forward.
When you read stories like this Cup story, always keep in mind: this is the same organization that when called a bunch of jerks by a very popular hockey commentator, they made a t-shirt out of it on the very next day and have made a mint from it. When the Canes win the Cup next year, Dundon can put his dog's name on for all I care.

And the #1 overall pick in the recent NHL draft is Trondk Hwchin. His grandpa is a survivor of Canada's Indian reeducation program.

Has John Tortorella set a record for the shortest duration as the head coach of a Stanley Cup finals team? Hired by Vegas on March 29 and dismissed on June 16, a total of 49 days in the position. What might management expect for performance?
He was replaced by the head coach of their AHL affiliate. Apparently this was in the plans for a while now. I guess they didn't want to throw him to the wolves as the playoffs were approaching.

ABC/ESPN executives are celebrating right now. The NBA had the highest TV ratings since 1998 and the NHL had their highest since 2019.

Went to get some tickets for Sunday night's Hurricanes watch party in the Lenovo Center and noped out as soon as I got in the queue for tickets. I only had about 70k folks in front of me.

I guess the Tr*mp jinx lasted only through the first half of last night's game. Did the Knick's staff perform some sort of cleansing ritual during halftime?

I probably would've just keeled over right then and there.
