- October 26, 2016
Once the playoffs begin, however, Golden State won't have the comfort of knowing one loss can't end its season. Nicknamed "The Glove" for his smothering defense, a moniker given to him by his cousin after a dominating performance against All Star guard Kevin Johnson, Payton is the only point guard ever to garner the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year Award, in 1996.

Flyers Pull Off Late Comeback, Top Sabres 4-3 In Shootout
- October 26, 2016
Philly has the offense to compete with nearly anybody in the conference and do have some studs on the back end including Shayne Gostisbehere who is the talk of the town in Philly these days after a breakout season a year ago. Regardless, the Sabres have had four days to lick their wounds and recover, which is always important - even at this early stage of the season. "Obviously it's fun when you play with the puck".

Miami Dolphins: Running up the Bills
- October 26, 2016
Buffalo (4-3) had its four-game win streak snapped. "We talked about that the day I got this job, about building a bully." he said. He threw only 23 passes and only 10 of them beyond 10 yards or more. He ran for 187 yards as a rookie and totaled 117 in Miami's first five games this year before his breakout. OTHER INJURIES: Bills running back LeSean McCoy left in the third quarter after he aggravated a left hamstring injury, and he totaled only 11 yards in eight carries. (more...)

Former UNC Star Andrew Miller Leads Cleveland Into World Series
- October 26, 2016
Sports Illustrated put it a different way: This is a face-off between "the best team in baseball vs. the best base-running team in baseball". Game One is being played in Cleveland at 8 p.m. Another fascinating find: The Chicago White Sox are apparently the third bowl of porridge of championship franchises. Routes to regular playing time appear increasingly hard for just about everyone not now part of the Cubs' starting lineup, but few on the team can match Schwarber for raw power. (more...)

Youngest Cleveland Indians fans hit home run with onesies
- October 26, 2016
Neither Chicago nor Cleveland are exactly warm weather cities, and with the World Series being played late in October and even, if it goes to six or seven games, into November, weather could play as much of a role as the Indians' bullpen. (more...)

Suns waive former first-round pick Goodwin
- October 26, 2016
Goodwin will make his way onto the waiver wire, likely set to generate interest among teams toward the top of the waiver priority hierarchy. The 6-foot-5 Goodwin is a dynamic athlete and has shown flashes as a scorer and playmaker. One team that could be in play are the New York Knicks, where Jeff Hornacek is now head coach after serving in that role for Phoenix from 2013-16, every year that Goodwin has been in the National Basketball Association.

Sturridge brace helps Liverpool down Spurs, Arsenal through
- October 26, 2016
Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge must show more "bite and fight" to be a first-team regular, according to the club's former defender Mark Lawrenson. The Belgium global appeared to have wasted the counterattack by running into a crowd of Spurs defenders but the ball broke loose for his strike partner who, with time and space to pick his spot, shot tamely straight at Vorm.

Now, the same fickle, short-termist fans who were slating him last week will be calling for Sturridge to start this weekend. "I can't say 'you are bad, he is good, that's why he's playing.' Of course he was not happy about this but he is a very serious person and a good professional". (more...)

The Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic will be held on Sunday October 23, in Winnipeg. Winnipeg was scoreless on four power plays and are 2 for 20 this season. "We shouldn't hit the panic button too soon here". Also worth considering is that while Edmonton successfully dumps the puck out of its own zone more often, they spend significantly more time there, being a 48.8 per cent Corsi team over this period, as compared to Winnipeg's 51.3 per cent.
