President Joe Biden seems to think rugby is a superior sport to football.
As anyone reading this knows, football is hardwired into the DNA of this beautiful country we call home. Winning Super Bowls and college football national titles is what separates us from the soulless communists around the world.
In this country, we celebrate and defend football at all costs….well, unless you’re the man who runs the White House. Then, you go overseas and endorse rugby over America’s most popular sport.

What are we absolutely sure of from what we’ve seen so far this season? Our writers weigh in, and we rank them from bold to not-so-bold.

The Colorado Avalanche will determine a pair of Western Conference matchups in their season finale on Friday.

This probably wasn’t what Rick Fox was expecting when he woke up Thursday.

Fernando Tatís Jr. is on a tear as he gets ready to make his return to the Padres lineup.
On Thursday night, the San Diego star hit three home runs and drove in eight runs in the Triple A El Paso Chihuahuas’ 19–6 drubbing of the Albuquerque Isotopes. Tatís, who finished a triple shy of the cycle, has been lethal at the dish, recording at least one hit in six of his seven games and posting a .478 batting average.
The superstar talent is on a rehab assignment as he fully recovers from shoulder and wrist surgeries.

“This one to center … and Báez doesn’t know how many outs there are.

Loud noises at sporting events genuinely make a difference.
The Chicago Bulls (9) need all the momentum they can get heading into Friday’s do-or-die play-in game against the Miami Heat (8).
Diar DeRozan Did The Impossible
United Airlines, which holds a sponsorship agreement with the Bulls’ home venue, hopes to boost the Bulls’ chances of winning by inviting DeMar DeRozan’s nine-year-old daughter, Diar, to attend.
“The flight’s on us. What do you say, DeMar DeRozan?” the airline posted on Twitter, quoting DeMar’s postgame comments.

We’ve all wondered which athletes would translate better in a different sport. A popular swap that gets discussed comes between NFL and NBA players: two groups of ultra-physical athletes that could seemingly swap jobs any given day (or Sunday).
Can NFL Guys Play In NBA?
Well, Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George is throwing cold water on the idea that NFL players could easily translate to the NBA. George spoke on the hypothetical scenario on his Podcast P With Paul George show. PG delved into the topic when brothers and NFL guys, Travis and Jason Kelce, submitted the question.

Thursday night marked the final time Jonathan Toews would play for the Blackhawks after the team announced before the game that they will not be re-signing him to a new contract in the offseason.
Toews has played his entire 15-year career in Chicago, helping the team win three Stanley Cup titles in that span.
Needless to say, Thursday night was going to be an emotional one for Toews and Blackhawks fans when he took the ice at the United Center for the final time.
Before time expired on Thursday, Toews made sure to end his Blackhawks career in fashion.

Javier Báez did not finish Thursday’s game against the Blue Jays after the Tigers shortstop was benched following a lackluster performance on his first at-bat.
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch elected to sit Báez, who entered the matchup in the midst of a horrible hitting slump, after the second inning due to a string of baserunning mistakes during his first plate appearance, according to Chris McCoskey of The Detroit News. 
Báez stepped to the plate looking to get off to a strong start after leadoff hitter Spencer Torkelson struck out.
