“He just sat down for the final round of the PGA Championship. Have his girl tell him it’s a beautiful day outside and ask what they’re going to do today”
Paul Woods calling his final game tonight as he retires from an incredible 40 year broadcast career with the @DetroitRedWings. Incredible player, broadcaster, and human being. I'll always be thankful for my time spent on the radio broadcasts with him and @KenKalDRW We'll miss you, Paul!
If the Tigers lineup at any point this season as:
C: Dingler
1B: Torkelson
2B: Keith
3B: Jung
SS: McGonigle
LF: Greene
CF: Meadows
RF: Perez
DH: Carpenter
SP: Skubal
It would be a full 9+ starter all drafted and developed - can’t have happened many times in the modern game surely?
80% of kids quit youth sports by age 13.
Eli Manning says he hopes his kids say:
“I want to ride home with your dad.”
That tells you everything.
Parents:
The game ends with the whistle.
The ride home decides if they want to keep playing.
COACHES: Just incredible goals here showing the modern Ozone.
Low to high to spread the Dzone out, use high ice to bring more defenders away from the net, D losing their defender with give-and-go's from the blueline...
Phenomenal clips creating offense and fun hockey to play!!

North American viewership ratings : 1. @nfl 51% 2. @NBA 31% 3. @mlb 31% 4. @NHL 17%…. The NFL does a hell of a job marketing and selling a product that includes 11 minutes of action across over 3 hours of time 🏈
#NYR Vincent Trocheck on Team USA’s🇺🇸 perfect PK: “I’m pretty fucking proud, I’ll be honest. Yeah, we heard all the talk, that we shouldn’t be here…We were able to come here and we had a job to do, and it was to be good penalty kill guys, faceoff guys, character guys. We took that role and we ran with it.”
Connor Hellebuyck:
Never played Tier 1.
Never played in The Brick.
Never played Quebec PW.
Never made a Development Camp.
Did play HS hockey.
Did play NAHL.
Did play NCAA D1.
Did win a Vezina.
Did win Olympic gold.
And yet we’ve got parents stressing over which 8U team
🤯
The Tigers aren’t going to sign Skubal. I just don’t see it happening.
They’re gonna give it one big go with this squad for 2026. Tarik Skubal and Framber Valdez leading the way.
What has to happen now:
- Sign another bat
- Call up all the MLB ready prospects this year. I’m talking McGonigle, Briceño, Max Clark. Screw service time. The time is now.
The rotation is set. The offense still isn’t. But the time is now to add and believe in your top prospects that are STUDS

With ‘A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS’ exploring new parts of Westeros, we may meet minor houses we’ve never seen on screen. So here’s a map detailing the regions the houses hail from.
I can tell you about the sprints you’ll lose if you don’t run through the line. How your competition wants it more. But running through the line isn’t about the act. It’s about your desire to be great.
First practices of the year have begun. Finish every drill with your best.
Habs coach Marty St. Louis getting philosophical tonight:
“Negative energy is always heavier…For every positive word, you’ll find four more negative words in the dictionary. When you bring positive energy, enthusiasm, it all starts there. Your brain listens to you. If you’re always talking to yourself negatively, it’s gonna be harder to move forward. It starts with your attitude and how you see things. Perspective.”
“The players chose this, the life they lead today playing hockey. Nobody forced them to do this. So you have to remind yourself that you chose this path, it’s not gonna be a path that will always be easy. There will be obstacles and obstacles builds character. Success is temporary. Character is for life.”
Letting a mama bear leave her cubs with you — completely alone — is a sign of the highest level of trust a wild animal can show a human.
This guy isn't just "familiar" to them; he's truly been accepted as part of their world.
He's an absolute legend! A level of connection with wild nature that very few people ever achieve 🐻❤️
‼️Every coach and leader should listen to this.
