Shohei Ohtani's interpreter accused of massive theft

Ohtani paid the bookie directly instead of funneling the money through the interpeter? My Pete Rose spidey sense is driving in overdrive here. Is the interpeter just a fall guy for Ohtani's out of control gambling? Ugh.

The soon-to-be 36-year old Kirk Cousins signs a four year deal with the Atlanta Falcons for $180 million. This contract puts Cousins close to half a billion dollars in earnings in the NFL. Tiki Barber is holding the opinion of this deal to himself.

If Notre Dame would join the ACC, then it's back on and it would be advantageous to be in a conference as winning one is the easiest way into the expanded NCAA football playoffs.

The talk around the Raleigh area is that the ACC's days are more than likely numbered and everything that the league office is doing (suing FSU to stay in the deal, adding new schools from across the country) is just kicking the can down the road.

So, does that mean it's easily broken by a member school? It seems if it was, Floriday State would've been out of the conference last year.

Oilers take 16-game winning streak into extended break

Another thing to consider is the goalie stats. Last season, the Oilers, as a team, had a save % of .894 and GA of 3.50. During this 16 game winning streak, the team goalie stats are a save % of .945 and GA of 1.49. Wowser!

Oilers take 16-game winning streak into extended break

That slow start is killing them right now. They are still waaay behind the Canucks and a fair bit behind the Golden Knights in the Pacific division. Both of those teams are still winning games at a good clip, so it will take a major skid by both of those teams if the Oilers want to win the division.

MeatSabre (Chris Harrington), one of our old regulars around these parts, has passed on to the land of all Detroit teams winning the championship every year; including the Lions. He had been dealing with a bad heart for a long time and it finally gave out on him. Hoist a Stroh's and eat a coney in his honor whenever you get a chance.
