The Boston Bruins took a lead into the first intermission, but fell into a food coma from there on out. The Ottawa Senators scored three unanswered goals in the final 27 minutes of action to down the B’s 3-1 on Thanksgiving.

Nick Young ‘Steals’ Pass From Teammate, Buries Game-Winning Shot
Share this: Nick Young isn’t afraid to take a big late-game shot, even if it means basically stealing the ball from his teammate. The Los Angeles Lakers guard made another big shot Tuesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but it’s how he got the ball in his hands in the first place that’s actually pretty comical. The Lakers, trailing by a point with just seconds to play in the fourth quarter, ran a play that looked designed to get an open look at the top of the key. The Lakers ran the play to perfection with Brandon Ingram finding an open Louis Williams outside the 3-point arc. That’s when Young stepped in — literally. He ran right in front of Williams, intercepting the
When Bill Belichick First Discovered Julian Edelman’s Exceptional Toughness
by Zack Cox on Thu, Nov 17, 2016 at 8:00AM 2,100 Share this: Julian Edelman probably doesn’t have fond memories of his lone visit to Ohio Stadium. The year was 2007. Edelman, now a wide receiver for the New England Patriots, was a junior quarterback at Kent State at the time, leading the Golden Flashes into the Horseshoe to take on an Ohio State team that was ranked third in the nation. The result was … not pretty. Edelman posted a miserable 6.8 passer rating (4 of 10, 49 yards, one interception) and rushed eight times for negative-7 yards in a 48-3 loss. Pretty brutal performance, right? Not in Bill Belichick’s eyes. The Patriots coach, who used a seventh-round pick on Edelman in 2009, on Wednesday singled out that
Rick Porcello, Family Share Priceless, Emotional Moment After Cy Young Win
Share this: Not everyone — ahem, Kate Upton — was happy about Rick Porcello winning the American League Cy Young Award, but his family and friends certainly were. The Boston Red Sox right-hander was named the 2016 AL Cy Young in a ridiculously close vote over Justin Verlander. Porcello, who led Major League Baseball with 22 wins, got six fewer first-place votes than Verlander, but two voters left the Detroit Tigers ace completely off their ballots, allowing for Porcello to win the overall points by five. In the grand scheme of things, though, the vote total probably won’t matter for Porcello. He will forever be the 2016 AL Cy Young, which made everyone at the Porcello household pretty emotional in a priceless celebration that will
Conor McGregor Wears Two UFC Championship Belts, Just As He Always Wanted
Share this: NEW YORK — Conor McGregor became the first two-division champion in UFC history Saturday night, and that means he owns two belts. So get the man his belts. The Notorious badly wanted to wear both of them after his second-round KO win over Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205, but only one — the lightweight belt, which he claimed Saturday — apparently was available. UFC president Dana White came to the rescue, though, and McGregor had his moment at Madison Square Garden. McGregor, who’s also the UFC featherweight champ, later climbed atop the octagon and celebrated with the fans who supported him throughout the week. Now the question becomes, can McGregor keep both belts? White didn’t seem opposed to the idea when asked earlier this
Lakers Destroy Warriors In 117-97 Win, End Stephen Curry’s 3-Point Streak
It’s safe to say Luke Walton’s first meeting against his former went pretty well. The Los Angeles Lakers coach, who used to be the assistant coach for Golden State, led his team to a 117-97 blowout win over the Warriors on Friday at Staples Center. The Lakers improved to 3-3, while the Dubs dropped to 4-2. Warriors star Stephen Curry also ended his streak of 196 games with at least one 3-pointer, as he went 0-for-10 from long range. “That was a cool little ride,” Curry said, per USA TODAY. “Would have loved to finish my career making one every game, but hey, start a new one. What was it, like two years?
World Series Game 5 Ticket Prices Plummet In Chicago After Indians Take 3-1 Lead
