[New Jersey Devils @NJDevils]

The New Jersey Devils organization is deeply saddened by the news of the passing of former Devil Claude Lemieux.

A clutch player on the ice and greatly appreciated by Devils' fans off it, Claude's impact in bringing the first-ever Stanley Cup to New Jersey will forever be remembered as one of the paramount performances in team history.

Widely respected throughout the NHL, both as a trusted agent and a valued colleague, Claude leaves behind a lasting legacy within our game that he gave so much to. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this time.

There are only 22 high-major scholarship players who will celebrate Senior Night this week, having played at just one place. Mississippi State's Shawn Jones Jr. is the only SEC senior to finish where he started.

Dozens of coaching changes and the transfer portal have led to this

Here is a timeline of 50 plus examples of Iran hurting America and terrorizing the world.

1983: The Iranian regime provided material support to Hezbollah for the Beirut Marine barracks bombing that killed 241 U.S. service members.

1984: The Iranian regime’s proxy Hezbollah kidnapped CIA station chief William Buckley in Beirut. Buckley died in captivity.

Enough with the Gene Steratore & Terry McAuley ‘analysis.’ They offer nothing and are as constantly wrong as the terrible NFL officials.

[Matthew Bové @Matt_Bove]

Oh look Gene Steratore agreed with the call on the field and then it was wrong and now he agrees with the new call. That’s crazy.

[Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. @RepGregMurphy]

The @WaysandMeansGOP held a hearing on the impact of rising health care costs on patients and families. 

We have to have serious reform of health insurers, pharmacy benefit managers, and their subsidiaries to reduce the cost of healthcare.

[Baseball Scouting @BSBSCOUT]

I’ve seen summer ball coaches in legit leagues put D1 players on a pedistool over everyone else when selecting teams. Then summer ball rolls around & you can’t tell which player was at a D1 or D2 or NAIA or Juco. The key to it all is development. You don’t stay the same. You get better or worse every single day even in your early 20’s.

Mark it down. November 1st, 2025. The Day They Broke Sports Television.

For years, all these games of "chicken" between content owners and distributors, ended at the 11th hour. Now, it's Saturday in college football season and YouTubeTV - which I and millions of others have "bought into" being the new "bundled streaming fake cable" has dumped ESPN and all their shit.

YTTV is talking about "$20 credits" and nobody gives a shit about that. Give me 8 sports channels (4 network, 4 cable) and I'll take whatever games of importance you have on them.

The false paradise of having so much choice, doesn't mean shit to most of us. I'm not a degenerate who needs to see Delaware vs. Liberty (CBS Sports Network) or New Mexico vs. UNLV (Mountain West Network).

And I can speak for the rest of us: we aren't gonna buy 6 different streaming apps for all the shit we want. Especially not when the price keeps getting jacked up every year.

So good job, everybody. You broke it. Good luck figuring it out. I'll go clean the garage and listen to the radio.

[Sean T at RCP @SeanTrende]

The point is, there's nothing wrong with striving for success/self-improvement. But it isn't what will make you happy, because there's always another mountain to climb. Happiness doesn't really come from achievement, it comes from family, friends, faith and ultimately, inside. 10/10

[Bill Tighe @BillT72]

@JPFinlayNBCS Undisciplined. Fumbles, drops, flags, and kicking issues. Coaching and mgt need to clean it up.

My father, HHS Secretary @RobertKennedyJr and Republican Governors like my friend @SarahHuckabee are all committed to taking on the corrupt PBM industry to lower drug prices for Americans! #MAGA #MAHA
