Last year, the NHL gave us a full slate of NHL games in late October, with all 32 NHL teams in action on a single night.
So, the folks at ESPN took the ball and ran with it, giving fans a night of whip-around, NFL RedZone-style NHL coverage, and it was fantastic. If you’re an NHL fan, it was practically nirvana.
Well, we didn’t get another edition of Frozen Frenzy after that during the 2023-24 season, but we’re getting it again early in the 2024-25 season, and there are some tantalizing matchups on the schedule.
The WNBA Finals came down to a decisive Game 5 between the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx. The Liberty outlasted the Lynx in overtime to capture the franchise’s first league championship.
Winner-take-all games typically do well on television among American audiences, but the WNBA had a few things going against it.
First, there was a National League Championship game between two powerhouse markets: the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers.
Then, there was a Sunday Night Football game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets.
We’ve got a champion and MVP pick, but also cover some broader themes like which team’s fans will turn on a player and forecast some prime trade targets.

The NFL concussion protocol can’t protect a player from their own bad decisions, and that’s a problem.
It’s impossible for most of us to understand the singular focus and peerless competitiveness of professional athletes. An undying willingness to put winning and personal goals above all else, even if that means self-sacrifice.
That said, it doesn’t take an NFL resume to recognize when a player is on a collision course with disaster, and tragically Tua Tagovailoa seems destined to do just that. Tagovailoa needs to be protected.
Neyland Stadium is among the loudest venues not only in college football but in all of sports, yet former Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron doesn’t believe the noise created by the 100,000-plus fans is exactly genuine.
The conspiracy theory about Tennessee football pumping crowd noise into Neyland Stadium came to the forefront this past Saturday during the Vols’ 24-17 win over the Crimson Tide when Alabama play-by-play man Chris Stewart stated that Tennessee pumps in noise while live on air.

Following another back operation, Tiger Woods is not among the initial field at the Hero World Challenge in December.
As of right now, Tiger Woods will not play in the Hero World Challenge.
The Hero World Challenge, which Woods hosts every December in the Bahamas, is a made-for-TV event featuring a 20-man field. The 15-time major winner, when healthy, typically plays in this event annually. He indicated he would play again this year after missing the cut at Royal Troon this past July.

Xander Schauffele had an outstanding 2024 season, but even he knows the Player of the Year award is not his.
Since 1990, when the PGA Tour established the Player of the Year Award—now known as the Jack Nicklaus Award—eight players have won multiple major championships in a given season.
Tiger Woods accomplished this feat on four occasions, winning multiple majors in 2000, 2002, 2005, and 2006.
