The Winter Classic no longer creates the national footprint it did when the NHL’s outdoor extravaganza was created 10 years ago. It no longer makes for appointment viewing. Fact is, the national TV audience that peaked at 2.5 million for the 2009 game at Wrigley Field between the Blackhawks and Red Wings before it was...

In both incidents, a group of two to three people walked in with a weapon, announced a robbery and stole cash, according to Chicago Police.

This is why the Olympics matter.

You may not know Bobby Butler, yet, but the 30-year-old was one of 14 forwards to be selected for the United States Olympic men’s hockey roster, which was revealed Monday at the Winter Classic.

Butler plays for the Milwaukee Admirals in the AHL in the Nashville Predators organization. He has 130 games at the NHL level, but his proudest moment may be this exchange with his father after he broke the Olympics news to him.

Fromm checked into a new play when it was clear Oklahoma couldn’t stop it.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — It wasn't exactly reefer madness Monday as California launched the first legal sales of recreational marijuana, but those who could find the drug celebrated the historic day, lining up early for ribbon cuttings, freebies and offerings ranging from cookies to gummy bears to weed with names like "heaven mountain" and "alien rock candy."

As we step away from the giant dumpster fire that was 2017, and run towards a (hopefully) better 2018, activist Ady Barkan has some thoughts he wants to share.

Security,

How our defense editor trained the mighty USAF. 

We maintained a loose formation while climbing up to the correct altitude for the exercise. Initially, we expected to only reach about 14,000ft, but due to the less than ideal weather conditions, Vodka Flight was ordered to climb up to 22,000ft.

As glorious as the setting of the game is, producing a beautiful punt to match the grandeur of the New Year’s Day staple is only fitting. Seibert pins Georgia at its own 1-yard line with the stroke of his leg.

Seibert’s pretty good as a punter, but he can do it all as a specialist. He handles both kicking and punting for... Читать дальше...
