Kulak Draws on Past Experience; Avalanche Focused on Overcoming Mental Hurdle

May 24, 2026; Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; Colorado Avalanche defenseman Brett Kulak (27) skates with the puck against Vegas Golden Knights center William Karlsson (71) during the first period in game three of the Western Conference Final of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs at T-Mobile Arena. Mandatory Credit: Stephen R. Sylvanie-Imagn Images This wasn’t what anyone expected from the Western Conference Final. In fact, if there was a possibility that the series would end in four games, most would’ve thought the Colorado Avalanche were the ones who had won the first three. But that isn’t the case. The Avs faced their first real test of adversity this season when they lost Games 1 and 2 to the Vegas Golden Knights at home. That adversity was multiplied when a three-goal first-period lead was erased by the Knights, seemingly with ease, as they went on to win 5-3 in the third game to push Colorado to the brink of elimination. Everything about this sudden collapse seems more mental than anything. In...

Jason Kelce worries that NFL schedule is 'getting away' from Sunday

-
How much is too much? It's the question that continues to swirl following the release of the 2026 NFL schedule . After all, the schedule looks notably different than the ones that came before it. Only Tuesday was spared from the calendar this year, with games slated to be held on the other six days of the week. That increase in standalone games has gotten the attention of fans, as well as a former Philadelphia Eagles center – and not for good reason. On the May 20 episode of the "New Heights" podcast , Jason Kelce said he feels like the league is drifting away from Sunday being the most important day of the football week. "Sunday is the day of football," Kelce said. "Outside of going to church in the morning, if you're still religious and do that, Sunday is where so many games happen and and that's what you grow up and you gear your entire week around watching football on Sunday. "It's an institution at this point, the NFL playing games on...

Guardiola overwhelmed by Etihad stand naming ‘honour’ Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said the naming of a stand at the Etihad in his name is the ‘hugest honour’. Guardiola will leave Manchester City this summer after 10 seasons of silverware success. The Spaniard took charge of the team for the final time during the club’s defeat to Aston Villa, a fixture which concluded their Premier League campaign. Ahead of the game, the Cityzens revealed that the newly-developed and expanded North Stand at the Etihad Stadium will be named ‘The Pep Guardiola Stand’, in recognition of his achievements. Addressing the crowd at full-time, the six-time Premier League winner called it a huge honour and urged the squad to retain their high standards upon his exit. “I’m so nervous right now. Why do you love me so much? Why do you do that to me? “I never imagined the amount of love, it had been an incredible, tremendous honour to be your manager for 10 years. Incredible emotions. My dad is here t...

'If I was Ajit Agarkar, I would switch off my phone': Ashwin on Shubman Gill's T20I selection

NEW DELHI: With several exciting T20 talents emerging, team selection has become a major headache for the selectors. Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin believes Shubman Gill, who is in ominous form in IPL 2026, deserves a place in India’s T20I setup. However, with youngsters like Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Priyansh Arya coming through, along with established names like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhishek Sharma and experienced Sanju Samson already in contention, the competition has become intense. “Main bolta hoon mushkil hai yaar. Agar main Ajit Agarkar hota na, selection ke waqt phone chhod ke Maldives chala jata. Phone hi nahi uthaunga,” he said. Shubman lost his place in India’s T20I setup ahead of the home series against New Zealand national cricket team, which preceded the 2026 T20 World Cup. However, India’s Test and ODI captain responded in style with a sensational IPL 2026 campaign. Gill has scored 616 runs in 13 matches at an average of 47.38 and a strike rate of 161.68, including ...

Washed-up NFL legend announces impending retirement to disinterested nation

-
On Wednesday, Aaron Rodgers broke the seal . After years of festering "will he or won't he?" consternation, darkness retreats , picking fights with football hagiographs, and precipitously declining play on the field, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback declared he will finally retire after the 2026 NFL season. To that I say: Congratulations! Do you want a cookie? Anyway, what else is going on in the world, quite literally anywhere? In all seriousness, Rodgers did this to himself. Even if you take the words of a glorified charlatan like him at face value, and you really believe he will retire at the age of 43 this coming January, it's hard to muster up the necessary pomp and circumstance for him. You know, the kind of farewell tour and celebrations usually reserved for beloved athletes and sports figures. To earn that, you have to be both special at your craft and, if not outright kind to others, at least a seemingly decent human being enough not to alienate almost e...
