Michigan said that Washington fans were harassing Wolverines players with “over the top and offensive language” before Chris Bryant confronted them.

It’s been 44 years since the US Hockey Team stunned the all-conquering Soviet squad at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York, and while the players earned themselves gold medals (after beating Finland, people forget that) they may soon be getting some gold medals of the Congressional variety.
You don’t see a lot of bipartisan efforts in Congress anymore, but we’ve got one for something that anyone who loves this great country should be able to get behind: giving the Miracle on Ice team Congressional Gold Medals.

The Kansas City Royals stunned the New York Yankees in game two of the American League Division Series with a four-run fourth inning. Kansas City held on to win 4-2, evening the series at one win apiece as it shifts back to Missouri. It’s now a best-of-three, with the Royals technically having home field advantage, but Yankees star Jazz Chisholm isn’t worried about the outcome.
Chisholm after the game on Monday told reporters that he thinks the Yankees are going to win the series; that the Royals “got lucky” to win game two and even it up.

It’s officially official: Jessica Campbell has become the first woman to serve full-time as an assistant coach in the National Hockey League when she was behind the Seattle Kraken bench for the first regular season on North American soil of the 2024-25 season.
Campbell was hired by new Kraken head coach Dan Bylsma, and it was pretty obvious that when Bylsma got the nod with the Kraken, Campbell would be joining his staff.

The New Orleans Saints lost to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday in a game that doubled as a homecoming for Saints kicker Blake Grupe, a Missouri native.
However, more people are still trying to figure out whether or not the youthful-looking kicker is even old enough to play in the National Football League.
Of course, he is. But you can probably understand why people might have questions.
Let’s start with the homecoming.

The Lake Show has turned into a clown show, and Bronny James walks through the doors believing he’ll be showtime when, in fact, he’s doomed to get booed off the stage.
Expectations are dour when it comes to the Los Angeles Lakers’ second-round pick. The kid is too green for the NBA, yet here he is, playing for a marquee franchise plainly due to the narrative he and his dad, LeBron James, wanted to create: becoming the first father-and-son duo to play pro basketball side-by-side.
It’s certainly a sweet moment.

With Saleh gone, Nathaniel Hackett might not be calling plays for long. Hackett, of course, was Rodgers’ hand-picked offensive coordinator.

By this point, you’re no doubt aware that a little over a week after Hurricane Helene came through, Hurricane Milton is now barreling straight for the Tampa Bay area.
The storm is expected to cause a lot of damage and everyone is having to adjust their plans and prepare for the worst, and that includes the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Milton is scheduled to slam into Florida’s Gulf Coast right in the middle of the first few days of the National Hockey League season, with the Lightning set to open their regular season slate on the road against — ironically — the Carolina Hurricanes.

A Delaware judge rejected a motion by Deadspin to dismiss a defamation lawsuit for falsely accusing a 9-year-old NFL fan of wearing blackface in an article, according to the Associated Press.
Last November, then-Deadspin writer Carron J. Phillips published a photo of a kid named Holden Armenta from a Chiefs game wearing a Native American headdress and his face painted. Armenta painted his face half red and half black in support of his favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs. However, Phillips’s article only showed one side of the child’s face: the side painted black.
