News and Results
- The NFL trade window slammed shut yesterday afternoon. The Minnesota Vikings went out and got a quarterback after Carson Wentz’s disastrous game on Monday night, bringing Kirk Cousins into the fold. The Jacksonville Jaguars were the most active in the window, signing multiple major defensive players as they look to take advantage of a weaker AFC to make their first Super Bowl.
- We had another night of hate and heat in the NHL, as Connor Hellyebuck returned to Winnipeg for the first time after forcing his way off the Jets. The Devils opted not to play Hellyebuck, citing analytics that said it would decrease their win percentage, and the Winnipeg crowd responded to that as you’d expect, with boos and taunts throughout the night. New Jersey’s higher win percentage didn’t seem to help them, as they lost 4-2.
- In the more personal world of NBA grudges, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown met for the first time last night since Brown left the Celtics, adding a new spin to their traditional rivalry with the 76ers. Boston won 123-101. with Tatum contributing 21 points to Brown’s 13, and the relationship between the two superstars still seems to be civil but frosty, with Brown giving Tatum the cold shoulder afterwards.
