Blake Coleman’s return to Tampa included getting a new ring and a new perspective on the two-time defending Cup champions. He knew his former team was as complete as any in the league, and that it wouldn’t be as much fun to be a visitor at Amalie Arena. But the hope was that his new club was much closer to being ready to measure up than they ended up showing. “Sometimes you learn lessons the hard way in this league and I thought we learned a lot of them tonight,” said the Lightning-turned-Flames grinder following a 4-1 setback in Tampa.…

Both of the NFL franchises in the Big Apple, The New York Giants, and the New York Jets both moved out of New York City–and out of the state–in 1976 and 1983 respectively. They both stayed there when in 2010, when they built their most recent place to play, Metlife Stadium, in New Jersey. Now, almost 50 years later, a fan is taking the move–and the names of the teams–into his power to force the Giants’ and Jets’ hands.

In a piece for the The Athletic, Matt Gelb recaps the frantic lead-up to the Phillies’ signing of right-handed reliever Corey Knebel, which included an unfortunately timed trip to Mexico and a number of insightful quotes from Knebel himself. One particular quote of note is that Knebel and Philadelphia “entertained” a two-year contract before ultimately settling on a one-year, $10MM guarantee. While Knebel is the presumptive closer for his new club at this time, neither he nor president Dave Dombrowski have confirmed as such. Accordingly, Knebel says he’s using the personal risk of a one-year contract as motivation to regain the form…
