[Vince Sapienza @VinceSapienza]

During his end of season availability, Jack Eichel found out the Golden Knights were voted as the most hated team in the country.

He delivered the quote of the day:
"If you ask guys in the league, Vegas ain't on people's no-trade list."

Algerians doing jigs in Kansas... Brits eating barbecue in Texas... Koreans doing full on kegstands in Mexico... just goes to show that the entire world can be united by the simple concept of getting really drunk and watching a sporting event

Legit teared up watching this

[Kyle Tibbitts @KyleTibbitts]

The World Cup absolutely mogs every other sporting event. It’s what the Olympics wishes it was X100.

You’ve got Europeans road-tripping across America and having their minds blown by Buc-ee’s and Bass Pro Shops. You’ve got a small Kansas town falling in love with an Algerian club that chose Kansas City as their homebase. You’ve got South Korea training in Utah to prepare for the altitude in Guadalajara.

For one month, the whole world forgets we’re supposed to hate each other over differences that barely matter. It’s the closest thing we have to world peace.

Clear the schedule. The FIFA World Cup is here

[Joe Chapp @JCSportsDetroit]

Here is what I cannot get past. Yzerman picked Dylan Larkin as captain. Let's state that clearly, for the record. He chose him. He gave him the full power of the captaincy — but no no-move clause. And then, by Shapiro's reporting, he stopped talking to him.

You don't ask him what's going on with the team? You don't ask what he needs? You don't talk at all? If you are the general manager and you believe your captain isn't a good leader, the question answers itself: why did you make him captain? And if you did make him captain, why aren't you doing the basic job of leadership — walking up to him and squashing whatever this is?

I don't care what Steve Yzerman did as a player. I truly do not. What he is doing as a general manager of the Detroit Red Wings is an embarrassment. A general manager who isn't speaking to his own hand-picked captain has failed at the part of the job that doesn't even require talent. It just requires showing up, and being accountable.

Now the other side, because I am not letting the captain off the hook. Larkin has been the captain of this team for years. He learned from Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk. When you come up under those two, the standard is set: to whom much is given, much is expected. So when he stands at the post-game podium looking like he is about to cry, I can't give him a pass for that. He is a leader. Maybe not a good one — but a leader.

And the trade list tells you everything. Per Helene St. James of the Free Press, Larkin's three teams are Vegas, Florida, and Minnesota. The Golden Knights are in the Stanley Cup Final, so it's hard to imagine they're prioritizing this. But look at the through-line: all three are loaded with high-end American talent. Whatever Larkin is chasing, it's clear as day. If somebody advised him to hand in that specific list, it was bad advice. If he came to it on his own, that's worse.

Here's the trap that creates for Detroit. Larkin was a top-five center in this league this season. You cannot just give your captain away — you have to get real talent back. And none of those three teams has much meaningful to offer in return. We came into this offseason already needing a center. Trade Larkin and now you need two. Are you finding a top-fifteen center in the next two years? Probably not. So Detroit sits in a lose-lose: you can't keep him happy, you can't move him for equal value, and the man who has to solve it is the same one who let it get here.

The saddest part, to me, is that the blueprint is sitting right across town. Look at the Detroit Lions. Dan Campbell took over a team with no leadership and no culture, and he built the thing from the ground up — with the players he needed, in the identity he chose. That is what leadership looks like. That is what taking ownership of a franchise looks like.

Neither Yzerman nor Larkin wanted to do that. I'll say it plainly: if either man had wanted to make this culture his own, he would have done it by now. We are eight years in. The Sabres used to be the team everyone made jokes about. Now that's us. The general manager didn't do a good enough job. The captain didn't do a good enough job. Between them, they railroaded this franchise into a punchline.

“Hurts perceived reluctance to target AJ Brown on tight-window throws against zone coverage”

[Shane Haff @ShaneHaffNFL]

Jalen Hurts ranked 8th and 6th in the last 2 seasons in tight window throw rate among QBs with double-digit starts.

AJ Brown ranked 2nd and 3rd in the last 2 seasons in yards on tight window throws.

Brown continues to invent excuses for being a bad teammate.

[Eagles Fan Central @PhilaFanCentral]

Jalen “can’t throw” Hurts has the most deep passing TDs in the NFL the last 4 years.

[Greg Wyshynski @wyshynski]

Dylan Larkin has played more games in the Winter Olympics (6) than he has in the Stanley Cup Playoffs (5) through 11 seasons in the NHL.

THAT'S CRAZY SHIT RIGHT THERE
