I didn’t see this coming, but one of the biggest losers of the Olympic men’s gold medal hockey game has been Canadian sports media.
Ever since the game went final and players returned to their NHL clubs, it has been an absolute clown show from the Big J’s in the Great White North.
We’ve had a columnist go after Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews for proudly captaining Team USA, and a reporter asking Connor McDavid of Team Canada and the Edmonton Oilers one of the dumbest questions ever thrown at a pro athlete.

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — American hockey player Brady Tkachuk said Thursday that he did not appreciate a doctored TikTok video shared by the White House that made it look like he was disparaging Canadians after winning Olympic gold, calling it fake and something he would never say.
The video includes fabricated audio of Tkachuk referring to Canadians as “maple syrup eating f—s,” with the expletive bleeped out. Tkachuk called it “clearly fake,” said the voice and lip movement did not match, and added he would never use that language.

What’s the right move for the Houston Texans when it comes to drafting a player in the first round?
Is it offensive tackle?
Is it guard?
Is it on the defensive side?
Any one of those positions would make sense for the Texans in Round 1 and few would bat an eye. As for running back? Unless Houston is trading up for Jeremiyah Love from Notre Dame, a selection at No. 28 would be a massive reach, causing fans to grad their pitchforks and torches while gunning for general manager Nick Caserio.

The Boston Celtics have surprised practically everyone around the NBA this season by establishing themselves as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference without Jayson Tatum.
But how good are the Celtics, actually?
Wednesday night’s loss to the Denver Nuggets was another reminder that Boston hasn’t performed well against the NBA’s top teams this season.

The Boston Red Sox are entering Spring Training with a logjam of players who could make the team’s Opening Day roster. It’s safe to say that manager Alex Cora is going to have some tough decisions to make before the regular season gets underway, with one of the wild cards on the team currently being first baseman Triston Casas.

According to the Denver Posts Luca Evans, the Denver Broncos held formal interviews with multiple running backs, including Notre Dame’s Jadarian Price, Washington’s Jonah Coleman, and Nebraska’s Emmett Johnson.

The Jets are trading pass rusher Jermaine Johnson to the Titans for defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat, sources told ESPN.

Brady Tkachuk said he didn’t appreciate the AI-doctored video released by the White House that made it appear he was disparaging Canadians.

For the third consecutive year, the Dolphins ranked first overall in the NFL Players Association annual report cards, according to survey results obtained by ESPN. The Steelers finished in last place.

We have ourselves some drama unfolding in the vintage SportsCenter world. It’s not much of a battle, given that there is a clear-cut winner and an even more obvious and deranged loser, but given that OutKick seems to be the only outlet on planet Earth willing to use common sense and applaud patriotism, we’re going to give props where they are due.

Our list of the elite at every position continues with a spot ruled by some of baseball’s young stars.

Who could be representing both squads in Philly this summer? We make our (very) early roster picks.

NHLers who played at the Olympics are back with their teams. Some, like Edmonton Oilers captain and Team Canada player Connor McDavid, are, for obvious reasons, not in the best moods.
But that didn’t stop one intrepid Big J Journo from asking what might be the dumbest question ever hurled at a professional athlete.
McDavid was fielding questions from the media on Wednesday when, according to USA Today, Sportsnet’s Mark Spector decided to ask a tough question.

Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard is addressing speculation surrounding his recent head coaching interview with the Miami Dolphins, and he’s making one thing clear: he believes the opportunity was very real.
Sheppard interviewed for Miami’s head coach opening back in January, a process that quickly became controversial. The Dolphins announced interviews with Sheppard and Patrick Graham, both minority candidates, on the same day they revealed Jeff Hafley as their new head coach.

Liverpool vs West Ham United: Match Preview, Latest Team News and Score Prediction
Liverpool vs West Ham Preview: Champions League Stakes at Anfield

Liverpool return to Anfield on Saturday with urgency in their stride and little margin for error. Victory over Nottingham Forest last time out, secured in the dying moments, lifted them level on points with Chelsea after their rivals were held to a 1-1 draw by Burnley. In a congested race for European qualification, every step now carries consequence.

West Ham arrive with their own anxieties.

Shedeur Sanders is developing quite a professional persona. He definitely has the swagger and demeanor to be an NFL star quarterback. His new head coach with the Cleveland Browns, Todd Monken, is now experiencing that personality firsthand.
Monken recently had a birthday, and Sanders was quick send a gift Monken’s way. According to Monken, that gift was unexpected and interesting to say the least.
“For my birthday, I got this package,” Monken said.

In addition to medical evaluations, on-field testing and measurements, the NFL combine is also an opportunity for prospects to meet with teams. And most prospects will meet with the majority of teams in Indianapolis – at least in some capacity.
The Los Angeles Rams are using one of their formal meetings to get to know LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane a bit better. Even though Les Snead and Sean McVay aren’t in Indy, at least one representative of the Rams will have (or had) a formal meeting with Delane, per Ryan Fowler.

A member of the gold medal-winning U.S. men’s hockey team on Wednesday admitted regret about laughing at President Donald Trump’s joke aimed at the women’s team in the aftermath of victory over Canada.

Defensive tackle Peter Woods’s visit to the Scouting Combine won’t include any on-field work.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Woods will not be working out in Indianapolis this week. Woods, who is not dealing with a known injury, is expected to participate in drills at Clemson’s Pro Day workout on March 12 instead.
Woods spent the last three years at Clemson and recorded 84 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss, five sacks and two forced fumbles.

Fernando Mendoza is practically assured of going first overall in the NFL Draft, mostly because he plays quarterback, but there have been plenty of opinions over who is the best prospect in this draft regardless of position.
Caleb Downs’ name has come up a few times in those debates.
Downs, a versatile Ohio State safety, had a great season for the Buckeyes, has the measurements that teams seek in a safety and showed all of the skills that can make him an impact defensive player in the NFL. But it’s also rare that a safety is drafted in the top 10.

Protests against ticket price rises have become more common in the Premier League in recent seasons [Getty Images]
Fans of the Premier League’s six wealthiest clubs are paying an average of £74 per ticket for each match they attend, while ticket revenues are soaring, according to data from a new report.

With Jasson Dominguez’s future with the New York Yankees unclear, one team insider revealed a teammate who could play a key role in unleashing the former No. 1 prospect.
A few years ago, NY Yankees fans kept hearing about Dominguez and his potential to be an All-Star in the big leagues. In 2021, he was the No. 1-ranked player in their system and was given the nickname “The Martian” because his immense talent as a five-tool player seemed out of this world.
That is why there was so much excitement when he reached the big leagues in 2023.

A split fanbase, social media criticism, questions over style of play and no home win since Boxing Day, it has become another winter of discontent at Walsall.
The Saddlers were four points clear at the top of League Two in December but Monday’s 2-0 home defeat by MK Dons has left them ninth, 15 points off leaders Bromley.
It has given Walsall fans a horrible feeling of deja vu, with this campaign mirroring the hugely disappointing fall from grace last season when they lost a 12-point lead at the top before finishing in the play-offs, only to lose in the final.
