Bold move, Cotton. Let's see how it worked out for them . . .

The good news: Everybody survived with ten fingers and two attached eyeballs. That's a win-win in our book. The bad news: At some point there's going to be a point of diminishing returns on one of the NHL's best new traditions, and it feels like we're rapidly approaching that point. We've seen curling . . .

Larry Walker deserves to be in the Hall of Fame for this moment alone
On Tuesday, the MLB announced its 2020 Hall of Fame inductees. It was a short list, topped by Derek Jeter, falling a solitary vote shy unanimity, and one of the bigger upsets in Cooperstown memory: Larry Walker, who jumped from 54.5% of the vote in 2019 to just over the fabled 75% threshold in 2020, the 10th and final year of his eligibility. The Rockies right fielder—long dinged by voters for spending much of his career punching holes in the already thin Coors Field ozone—had done the seemingly impossible and he accepted the honor with grace, humility, and a SpongeBob Shirt…

Duncan Keith, Jonathan Toews fight during morning skate, will now probably win the Stanley Cup
For the past 12 years, Jonathan Toews and Duncan Keith have been teammates on the Chicago Blackhawks, and for 11 of those years Toews has been the captain and Keith an alternate captain. During that time Chicago's top center and top defenseman have been through it all: three Stanley Cups, two losses in the Conference Finals, four first-round playoff exits and two postseason absences, which have come in the last two years. Somehow, they've managed to not get on each other's nerves over this timeframe, at least not that we know about.
That was until Tuesday morning, when reports of Toews, 31, and Keith, 36, getting into a fight at the team's optional morning skate hit social media. The Athletic's Mark Lazerus was one of the reporters on the scene:
