Focusing on what players do right instead of their mistakes seems to be paying dividends for Florida’s Paul Maurice.

The veteran finished the regular season with underwhelming numbers, but has become a leading playoff MVP candidate — while leading the Panthers to within a game of the Stanley Cup Final.

The Wizards split with Tommy Sheppard last month after he spent two decades in their front office.

You’d think playing for a storied franchise like the Chicago Bears would be great, though as former Bear and current Lions running back David Montgomery has noted, it sure as hell helps if you’re winning.
During Montgomery’s time in the Windy City, the Bears were not.
The former Iowa State Cyclone played in Chicago from 2019 to 2022. Over that stretch, the Bears posted a 25-41-0 record. That is less than stellar.
He signed with the Lions this offseason and will be part of the new-look Detroit offense.

The last pitcher to do so happened this season when fellow Pirate Colin Holderman, a reliever, did it May 4 against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Jackson spoke to the media on Wednesday after his first practice with the new system and had nothing but positive things to say about it. In particular, he said he expects to have fewer rushing attempts and rely more on his passing than he has in previous seasons.

The debate regarding Brooks Koepka and the Ryder Cup continues to gain traction as Claude Harman III trashed Golf Channel’s Brendal Chamblee.
Claude Harmon III is one of the top professional golf coaches in the business and is working with Brooks Koepka. After winning his third PGA Championship, the question of whether Koepka should be on the American Ryder Cup team has been a hot topic.
Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee made it evident he doesn’t believe that Koepka or other players on the Saudi-backed LIV Tour should be on the team.

When Rafael Nadal announced last week that he will not play in the French Open as he continues to nurse a hip injury, one of the surest bets in all of sports went kaput. Since 2005, Nadal has won at Roland Garros 14 times. Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka are the only other men to win a French Open singles title in the past 18 years.
The French Open fortnight begins Sunday. With Nadal’s withdrawal, the men’s singles title is up for grabs. There are a couple of established veterans with good odds, but several other players are in the mix.
On the women’s side, world No.

Josh Harris and his partners face “complexities” in purchasing the team, but there’s no doubt other owners are eager to see Dan Snyder go.
