Did the NHL Get the Morgan Rielly Suspension Correct?
The recent decisions made by the NHL Department of Player Safety have sparked intense debate among hockey enthusiasts. One particular incident that has raised eyebrows is the Brendan Gallagher hit on Pelech of the New York team, resulting in Gallagher receiving a five-game suspension. This open-ice collision, occurring after the puck had already left the area, has ignited discussions about the consistency of disciplinary actions in the league.
Inside the LeBron James Trade Inquiry
According to ESPN, the Warriors made a serious attempt to acquire Lakers superstar LeBron James. This surprising revelation sent shockwaves through the basketball world, hinting at a seismic shift that never materialized.
Is Harry Maguire the biggest redemption story in the Premier League?
In the world of football, redemption stories often capture the imagination of fans and pundits alike. As the Premier League season unfolds, two players, Harry Maguire and Ivan Toney, have emerged as focal points of discussion regarding their respective journeys of resurgence.

Raptors picks and props vs. Pacers Feb. 14
Best Bet: Under 245 points (-112)
Quick pick: Barnes over 22.5 points (-118)
The Toronto Raptors are tanking and trading Siakam on an expiring contract to the Indiana Pacers was a no-brainer. Since his departure, things have unraveled for the Raps offensively.
A busy injury report has me targeting the under but Scottie Barnes should still clear a modest point total.
