Haiti qualifying for the World Cup on the anniversary of its final battle for independence is poetic. From defeating a slave empire in 1803 to returning to the world stage after 50 years, Haitians world wide are reminded that their history is resistance, pride, and brilliance.

We had a brawl at MSG for the second night in a row, this time on the ice. Detroit’s Mason Appleton fired an empty-netter after the buzzer, Jonathan Quick absolutely short-circuited, and both benches poured in for some unplanned extracurriculars.

The Riders entered the Grey Cup as -3.5 betting favorites. They’re now just the third betting favorite to win in ten years, and only the second to both win and cover the spread.

Underdogs have won six of the last nine Grey Cups, demonstrating that the oldest championship game in professional football is where regular-season records often go to die.

Louis Riel was hanged on Nov 16, 1885, for defending the Métis from the Canadian state. Now, 140 years to the day, the 114th Grey Cup in Winnipeg is co-presented by Indigenous and Métis communities. Canada killed Indigenous resistance, then sells Indigenous inclusion as branding.

Valentina Shevchenko is now 5-1-1 in her last 7, and this win over Weili Zhang at UFC 322 is her first time cashing as a betting favorite since 2021. All her other recent wins came at plus money, with the rest a loss and the Grasso draw. This is her first truly “expected” win in years.

A massive brawl broke out in the crowd at UFC 322 in Madison Square Garden, just as the event came on air. Conor McGregor's ex-training partner Dillon Danis looks to be a core part of the brawl.

Evander Kane completely lost the plot behind the play after getting taken down by K’Andre Miller, trying to drag him into a fight while the Hurricanes sprinted the other way. Carolina ignored the chaos, and Hall buried the 3–3 equalizer off a slick Gostisbehere feed.

The Montreal Canadiens' 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings last night is just the second time this season they have lost a game by 2 goals or more. The other was on opening night vs the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Between Steve Dangle and Blue Jays Johnny, it's a tough call for who is a more embarrassing Toronto sports fan.

Any self-respecting person would simply stop cheering for this team. Like, no one forced you to cheer for a team that sucks this bad, but it's really just a grift for him.
