The holiday spirit did not apparently stop a tense scene between Bill Belichick’s current beau and his ex last December at a Nantucket, Massachusetts party. Linda Holliday confronted Jordon Hudson on the dance floor after asking the organizers of the shindig to remove her from the gathering, TMZ reported on Tuesday night. According to a...
Carter Verhaeghe and Aaron Ekblad scored tone-setting first-period goals, and Sergei Bobrovsky remained strong in net as the reigning Stanley Cup champion Panthers beat the Hurricanes on Tuesday night in Game 1.
Wednesday night that conference finals drought — the league’s third longest — ends with Game 1 against the Pacers at Madison Square Garden, a gift to the Knicks diehards who wondered if they would die before such a day would come.
The NFL owners are expected to reengage in talks about the polarizing tush push on Wednesday at league meetings.
Last month, owners tabled the vote on a proposal to ban the play that became the Philadelphia Eagles' calling card over the past couple of seasons. As the vote nears, some prominent Philadelphia Eagles spoke out about the controversial short yardage play.
"But I can't control it. We can't control it. So, we don't even worry about it. Right now, we're just installing our schemes, whatever [offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo] is installing that day, that's what we're focused on because worrying about if they're going to ban the tush push or not ain't going to win us a championship."
.The Green Bay Packers submitted a proposal to ban the tush push.
"We'll see where that goes," Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said. "We're not waiting very long to figure it out. It's going to be public [Wednesday]. And you know how I feel about it."
At last month's league meetings, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie described the tush push as "precision play" and credited quarterback Jalen Hurts for helping make the play routinely successful.
ESPN reported that the tush push was utilized in just 0.28% of total plays last season.
Caitlin Clark became the co-owner of yet another WNBA record, but her performance came in a losing effort.
The Atlanta Dream took down Clark's Indiana Fever, 91-90, in a thriller in Indianapolis Tuesday night, all while Clark rewrote the history books again.
Indiana trailed, 44-42, at the half, while Clark was on pace for a second triple-double in as many games this season. However, the Dream went on an 11-0 run, and it looked like all was over.
Trailing by 11 to start the fourth, Clark hit two deep 3-pointers and handed out a nifty behind-the-back assist to cut the deficit to four.
Indiana could not inch closer for several minutes but finally tied the game with just over a minute left. Aliyah Boston then went to the line with 21.7 seconds left and gave the Fever their first lead since they scored the first basket of the game. The foul against Boston was committed by Brittney Griner, who fouled out on the play.
Rhyne Howard of Atlanta, though, hit two free throws with 9.7 seconds left to take a one-point lead. Clark inbounded the ball but never touched it again. The Fever missed two shots to take the lead, and the Dream took home a thrilling victory.
Clark finished with 27 points and 11 assists. It's the 10th 20-point, 10-assist game for Clark in her young career, tying Courtney Vandersloot's WNBA record. Vandersloot has played in 430 games. Clark has played in just 42.
Clark also notched her 350th career assist Tuesday in her 42nd career game. It's the fastest a WNBA player has gotten to 350 assists. She also now has over 800 points, becoming the fourth fastest in the league to reach that milestone.
Griner finished the game with 21 points and eight rebounds.
It was the Fever's first game since the WNBA announced it was investigating reports of "hateful comments" directed toward Angel Reese Saturday during a game against Indiana. Clark's Fever defeated Reese's Sky, 93-58, and Clark was called for a flagrant foul against Reese, which resulted in Reese being held back from Clark.
In two games, Clark is averaging 23.5 points and 10.5 assists.
