So Jack Eichel is definitely done in Buffalo
Thanks to the haphazard scheduling of this NHL season and the need to make up games lost to COVID protocols and the virus itself, it’s hard to mark exactly when the season ends for a lot of fans.

N’Golo Kante wrecked Real Madrid
When Chelsea were struggling under Frank Lampard, I was one of many who wondered what exactly they could get out of N’Golo Kante at 30.

Deion Sanders’ attempt to become a savior for HBCU football was always gonna fail because of his ego
There’s no “i” in team, but there’s one in Deion. It’s smack dab in the middle of the name. And that makes so much sense after you remember that Deion Sanders loves to make everything about himself. It’s never about “us” or “we,” because to him, that “i” is all that matters....
