Rich SchultzAs if we needed more proof sports were the best, two different sports produced a pair of all-time, heartwarming moments between father and son on Wednesday night. Prepare your feels, people.
First up we go to the National Hockey League, where one of the marquee games of the night took place in Edmonton. The first-place in the Pacific Division Oilers welcomed in the best team in the NHL, the Boston Bruins, and the Bruins escaped with a 2-1 victory to extend their win streak to four games.
The best moment of the night came during the pre-game, when former Oiler Louie Debrusk, now a color analyst on Hockey Night in Canada, interviewed one of Boston's top wingers, Jake Debrusk, who just so happens to be his son. Here's the clip:

“Thanks dad, I love you.” Who is cutting onions? Such a cool moment for these two.
Next up we go to college basketball, where an equally touching moment occurred in Newark, N.J., of all places..

Heads up, guys, if you bite your opponent’s penis, you’ll get a five-year ban from competitive soccer
SDI ProductionsSoccer is weirdly the thirstiest sport. Over the course of the past year and a half or so, we've written about a World Cup legend advising young players to have as much sex as possible during the tournament, a top-tier coach mandating that his players always be on the bottom when making love, and a Barcelona star pledging to donate his testicles if his team lost their Champions League semifinal (spoiler alert: they did). Maybe this comes with the territory when some of the best players on earth hail from places like Brazil and France, or perhaps it's just something in the Gatorade Carabao. Whatever the case, we come to you today bearing more oddly sexual exploits from the world of soccer, where this week an amateur player in France was banned for five years for biting his opponent in the penis. Yes, we said bite. Also PENIS.
OK, so that's not footage of the incident. That's just the Prime Minister of Britain, in case you're also wondering about t..

Giancarlo Stanton—guy who played 18 games last year—says he would hit 80 HRs if he cheated liked the Astros
Paul BereswillTuesday was a big day for Astros bashing across the Majors. As was Monday, as was Sunday, as was Saturday, as was, well, you get the picture. The hottest thing in baseball right now isn't Tommy John or “openers,” it's sh*tting on the 'Stros. And rightfully so. They cheated. Or rather they cheated in ways that exceeded baseball's arbitrarily established cheating threshold. They won. Not just a lot of games, either. A World Series, or as commissioner Rob Manfred recently put it, “a piece of metal.” Not since the 2009 Yankees, had a team flaunted the rules as successfully as the Houston Astros, and now people are pissed about it. Like, really, really pissed. And at the vanguard of the pitchfork and torch-wielding uprising? Those very same New York Yankees! Shocker, I know.
On Tuesday, Aaron Judge donned his powdered wig and rang his gavel, solemnly decreeing the Astros' 2017 World Series championship null and void. And maybe he was right. So far in h..
