Turns out NHL owner greed is right on time for once & could save lives — no, really
The NHL’s return to action this summer came after negotiations not only to solidify health and safety protocols, but on a new collective bargaining agreement.

Kyler Murray & scrappy Cards follow the script, but lose the plot late vs. Seahawks
If you love narratives, and any producer of a sports broadcast most certainly does, Thursday night’s NFL game had the most easy-to-reach one imaginable.

It’s pointless to bemoan the NFL not pausing or just outright stopping its season. There’s too much money, they’re too far into it, they’d never admit a mistake, we know all the reasons.
