Jon Gruden was a big topic of conversation during the 2019 NFL Draft. The Raiders had four first round picks, starting with the No. 4 selection, after Gruden rearranged the team’s roster last season with head-scratching trades of Amari Cooper and Khalil Mack. There was also a question of whether Gruden would try to trade up for an even higher pick. While Kyler Murray was projected, and eventually chosen, as the No. 1 pick by…

Jordan Binnington could only do so much. The St. Louis Blues’ rookie goaltender was besieged by the Boston Bruins in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday, turning aside 34 shots as Boston claimed a 4-2 victory.

After a spike on his cleats appeared to break, Perez waited on the hill for someone to bring him a new pair of shoes. His teammates gathered around him, and Francisco Lindor bent over and adjusted one of Perez’s socks at the toes with his bare hands. MORE: Watch…
It’s a rematch 49 years in the making. The Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues are set to square off in the 2019 Stanley Cup Final – a matchup we last saw in 1970 when the Bruins swept the Blues; luckily for St. Louis, this time around they won’t face Bobby Orr.

Raptors guard Patrick McCaw has finally explained why he wanted to leave the two-time defending champions after last season. The former Warriors guard told The Undefeated he wanted more of a chance to be on the floor, compete and contribute. “I could say it was playing time, but I think it was just me being emotional as a kid,” McCaw said. “I just wanted more. Not necessarily more playing time, but more opportunity for myself.…
