New Orleans Saints fans are going to spend another offseason mad at the NFL.

Winston-led No. 14 Michigan State tops No. 12 Michigan 87-69
Cassius Winston made his last home game against Michigan memorable with a sensational performance his in-state rivals would rather forget.

Eller’s goal completes Capitals’ stunning OT win over Sharks
The Washington Capitals never believe they’re out of a game. Lars Eller scored with 2:59 remaining in overtime after the Capitals rallied from two goals down in the final minute of regulation, completing a stunning 5-4 victory over the San Jose Sharks.

Based on the manner in which Riveron was explaining the new procedure before the season began, Rudolph’s one-armed shove likely would have been enough to trigger a penalty via replay review.
