Debora RobinsonThere are slumps in sports, and then there is flat-out futility. New Jersey Devils goalie Cory Schneider's last calendar year falls firmly in the latter, and its reached a point that's almost impossible to believe considering how talented of a netminder he is.
Last year, Schneider got off to a 17-5-4 start in his first 26 games, the 17th of those wins coming on December 27, 2017, as part of a five-game winning streak for the Devils. Finally, Schneider was on pace to make his first postseason in New Jersey. All was well.
But since that night, Schneider has not won a single regular season game that he has been the starter in. Seriously:

Following that win against Detroit LAST December, Schneider lost his next seven starts before going down with a groin injury on January 23rd, 2018. Backup Keith Kinkaid was able to hold down the fort in his absence, keeping NJD in the playoff race throughout February, j..

Jack Nicklaus has won 18 major championships. He's dueled with Tom Watson in the sun and won the Masters at the ripe old age of 46. He hasn't just seen incredible moments in sports, he's a living, breathing embodiment of them, which helps to put the total absurdity of the Dolphins' walk-off win against the Patriots on Sunday—since dubbed the “Miami Miracle”—in perspective. Needless to say, when Jack calls something one of the best sports moments he's ever witnessed, you know it's gotta be pretty darn good.

Down five with seven seconds to play and the ball on their own 31 yard line, the Dolphins' win probability sat at a not-so-inspiring .1 percent. Three laterals and one flailing, brace-encumbered Rob Gronkowski later, the Dolphins were celebrating their 10th win in 17 games against Tom Brady in Miami (#StatOfTheDay)—a turnaround worthy of not one but two “wows” from the Golden Bear, who just..

aristotooAmong the frost delay’s redeeming qualities–a few more minutes of clubhouse warmth, a chance for the sun to creep higher in the sky—let’s also not forget: reduced risk of being decapitated by a landing airplane.
No joke, this was the reason an emergency landing at Paramus (N.J.) Golf Course on Sunday fortunately did not result in any golfer injuries. The small plane operated by Manhattan science teacher Jonas De Leon abruptly needed open space for a landing, and it targeted the ninth fairway of the Paramus course (which borders the Ridgewood Country Club, host of last year’s Northern Trust on the PGA Tour). The fact that only 18 golfers were on the course, and all of them in the early stages of the front nine, was because play had been delayed that morning because of frost.

“Normally we are packed on a weekend,” Ron Dorrell, a cashier at the course, told the New Yor..
