just now (829+ words) Despite the rarified air he is currently occupying, Morgan Geekie is not a player to demand his "flowers." We are now past Thanksgiving and Geekie " a player who just three summers was not even qualified by his former team, the Seattle Kraken " remains in a neck-and-neck race for the Rocket Richard Trophy with the most explosive player this side of Connor McDavid, Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon. Both have 20 goals after Saturday's games. And while MacKinnon has been the more complete offensive player " he's got 20-24-44 totals while Geekie is going for the Cy Young with 20-6-26 " Geekie's feat so far may be even more impressive than what the uber-gifted MacKinnon has done. The Avs are a juggernaut. The Bruins, simply put, are not. And there have been nights this season when, if Geekie isn't scoring for the B's, no one is. He's even…...

The 28-year-old picked up two yellow cards in the span of a minute as he continued to protest his initial booking, which was for dissent. It was a completely self-inflicted sending off for a player who was recently acquitted of spot fixing by the FA, with commentator Green calling it "ridiculous behaviour." Paqueta took to X, formally known as Twitter, after the game to fire back at Green, saying: "It's ridiculous to have your life and career affected for two years without any psychological support from the federation (The FA)." "Perhaps this ridiculous behavior is just a reflection of everything I've had to endure and, it seems, have to continue enduring!...

The 2025 MLS Cup final " Messi and Inter Miami vs. M'ller and the Vancouver Whitecaps " is going to draw a few comparisons from a personnel standpoint to the 2014 World Cup final and 2010 World Cup quarterfinal matches between Argentina and Germany. Germany, with M'ller, won both times. Messi played in those matches for Argentina, as did Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano. They'll all meet again on Saturday in Fort Lauderdale, with M'ller surely knowing that facing Messi doesn't automatically mean a loss. "It's not about Messi against Thomas M'ller," he told reporters after Vancouver's 3-1 win over San Diego in the Western Conference final on Saturday night. "It's Miami against the Whitecaps." Then he added, "Maybe they rely a little bit more on him than we do on me, because we…...

Max Verstappen claimed a crucial victory in the Qatar Grand Prix from Oscar Piastri, with the title battle set to go down to the final round as championship leader Lando Norris could only finish fourth.

The Red Bull driver jumped Norris on the run to the first turn from P3 on the grid and shadowed poleman Piastri in the opening laps before a…...

When they engage with the news " if they do " they hear a cacophony of voices. They don't know who to believe. Reporters are biased. They make mistakes. Besides, why would you hitch your future to a dying industry? "There is a lot of commentary " "Oh, good for you. Look what you're walking into. You're going to be screaming into the void. You're going to be useless," said Murphy, a 21-year-old graduate student at the University of Maryland's journalism school. She is undeterred.

The press rarely fares well in surveys of adults, but…...
