There are few sights in hockey more heartwarming than interactions between fans and players during pre-game warmups. Young fans line up against the glass, hoping to catch the attention of their heroes for a chance at a wave, a gifted puck or even a selfie. However good-natured and touching these exchanges are, they can sometimes take an unexpected turn for the worse. A young Montreal Canadiens fan wasn’t allowed to stay and watch Saturday’s game against the Maple Leafs, but it was probably… Source link

SALT LAKE CITY — Despite the ridicule Los Angeles Lakers star Russell Westbrook has received in his first season with the franchise, one constant the guard has provided is availability.

The Los Angeles native admitted it has been a trying experience for him and his family as he has been scolded by fans and media for what he would… Source link

With Tom Brady retired, Rob Gronkowski‘s widely expected to follow suit. The four-time Super Bowl champion tight end has played his entire 11-season career catching passes from Brady and already called it quits once. The only thing that could lure him out of retirement in 2020? The chance to play with Brady again in Tampa Bay.
