Drew Brees’ legacy is secure, but what is it exactly?
Tampa Bay announced Brees’s retirement before he ever did.

When will we see Jack Eichel again? Who knows, it's Buffalo
This season has been a great big ball of suck for the Buffalo Sabres. They’re stuck in the loaded East Division, have played 25 games, won an NHL-worst six, and they don’t exactly have a lot of hope for the future....

There’s a moment in 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember, the greatest sports year-in-review video ever made, when, as Ray Knight hits a walkoff homer to beat the Astros on July 3, Tim McCarver crows, “They’re spreading the news that they are right now the dominant team in this game — in either league!”...
