No 'Quit' in Quinney
Can the only Vegas-born player to skate in the NHL get back in the Golden Knights’ lineup? He’s working on it

Been saying for 5-6 years @detroitredwingsnhl.bsky.social are defensively unaware. It's a team thing. McLellan; "We have to get better defensively ... better in the faceoff circle. ... better coverages.”

Clueless.
Commerce secretary Howard Lutnick suggested this week that only "fraudsters" would complain about missing a monthly Social Security check, and that most people wouldn't mind if the government simply skipped a payment.

Seniors won't complain if they miss a Social Security check, Lutnick says
More than 70 million Americans get a Social Security benefit every month, and for many, those checks are their only income.

Hard to knock AD Erick Harper, but dismissing coach Kevin Kruger, IMO, is a bit hasty. Four years and no NCAA appearance, yes. But strange state of sport and difficult rebuild huge obstacles. Excellent coach should have been extended.

@Raiders
Only a fool would have believed a storyline that had Matthew Stafford joining a team with no O-line, no receivers and no RBs.
Good grief.

Federal funding slated for Nevada Medicaid programs could be slashed by $1.9B if Congress approves GOP budget, the Trump plan. That's care for aged Americans, retirees, disabled, veterans. Like this? It's what you get when you vote for hate, racism.

Red Wings fans, DETROIT media (numbskulls) celebrate Patrick Kane. Why? Horrible pass on 3rd period PP opened door for Wild comeback. He's ALWAYS been one-dimensional. In today's game, at his age, he's not longer effective.

Word is, he's been detained by ICE. More to come shortly. If you know, you know.

Oh, joy, Patrick Kane, that hustling, two-way superstar, always a complete player, returns to the lineup after missing several games with injury.
(He. Said. Sarcastically.)

@detroitredwingsnhl.bsky.socialare better -- bigger, faster, stronger -- without Patrick Kane. Fans aplenty will not agree, but watch the games.

@detroitlions.bsky.social
and @tampabaybuccIaneers.bsky.social each gave away their playoff games vs. @wshcommanders.bsky.social. In NFC championship, other way around. Commanders' playing carelessly

@detroitredwingsnhl.bsky.social are 10-4-1 under Todd McLellan. Still lots of holes, but improved puck management, overall defense noticeable. However, lack of team toughness huge flaw. Someone needed to hammer Kucherov after cheap play.

Beautiful Southern Nevada day for about a 3.5 mile hike on the Lee Canyon side of the mountain. Did the Big Sawmill Loop on the Sawmill Trailhead. No snow. Extremely dry.

@lasvegasraiders.bsky.social
Absolute best match for coach? PETE CARROLL. Wealth of experience, proven winner. But @nflbluesky.bsky.social wants youth in charge. He'd establish foundation, put right people in place. Age, IMO, will work against him. Too bad. Shows team's lack of patience, vision.

Someone tell me why anyone thinks Ben Johnson, a coach with offensive flair, would want the Las Vegas job? Want to take over a team devoid.of.offensive talent?

Las Vegas media all over Ben Johnson to the @lasvegasraiders.bsky.social. Can't miss. "Brady influence." DUH.

Latest ream of misinformation is that 20 Oregon fire trucks were stopped in San Francisco and denied their way to Los Angeles to fight the wildfires because the vehicles failed state emissions tests. Fact: FALSE. Did not happen. Look it up.
