CJ Stroud’s last throw was behind the WR, way short of the sticks, after a time out and got his dude hurt. Other than that, it was pretty good

Color on color is a great idea. Get lost with the reverse retro nonsense

This is very cool and a rare moment of the league actually giving fans something we want (likely because it's something that costs them little to no money 😆). Per Sean's great article, nearly 60% of games would be viable - which I think is fine, it doesn't have to be EVERY game, a nice mix is great.

NHL uni news — - More color-on-color games are coming, starting Wednesday (NYR vs. CHI). - The goal is to add a ton, starting next season. - Also planned for '26-27: a league-wide influx of new looks, a la the "Reverse Retro" program. Full details — www.nytimes.com/athletic/687...

NEWS: The case against Ryan Kesler, charged with two misdemeanor counts of criminal sexual conduct, is headed to trial. His accuser is a now-17-year-old girl who was friends with his daughter. She took the stand Thursday. Initial story from Michigan — www.nytimes.com/athletic/686...

I hate sportswriter halloween. what do you mean you're george harrison wearing a cool jacket during his beatles anthology interview?

“what do you want for Christmas?” “the coat George Harrison wore during this Beatles Anthology interview”

A coach on Connor Bedard: “I think a lot of people might say something along the lines of 'He's simplified his game.' I don't think that's true.” “I think he's a creative, dynamic offensive mind who's figured out what's worked and, more importantly, some stuff that won't work.” MORE ⤵️⤵️⤵️

Almost every current franchise player once took 'the leap' — a massive jump up several levels to something special. This year, we're seeing Bedard, Celebrini and Carlsson take the leap, becoming superstars before our very eyes. Story with @seangentille.bsky.social ⤵️ nytimes.com/athletic/685...

Jason Robertson is the top American scorer in the NHL right now, they're fucking nuts if they don't take him to the Olympics.
