One of the possible scenarios: CFL protocol is if the storm delay is more than an hour and it’s at least midway through the third quarter, the game is ended and the team winning at the stoppage is awarded the win. The last time it happened: A game between Montreal and Saskatchewan was called late in the third quarter in 2019, with the Roughriders awarded the win. When the game resume at 11:13 p.m., with most of the fans long gone, the Redblacks defence stopped the Bombers as they were driving to try to win the game. A…

Not even the pouring rain could dampen the spirits of the Ottawa Redblacks following a 23-19 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Thursday night. The season opener was one to remember for the Redblacks (1-0) with thunder and lightning forcing a 60-minute weather delay with 2:09 left in regulation and Ottawa leading 23-17. “The vibe in our locker room was we wanted to get back out there,” said Redblacks coach Bob Dyce. “These guys wanted to win this game the way it should have been on the field for 60 minutes and so we were in there and we stayed…

Caldwell-Pope has a player option to decide on soon for the 2024-25 season. That will pay him over $15.4 million, but he could also believe in his ability to get a bigger bag in the offseason. Via HoopsHype: Heading into free agency, there’s also concern that guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope could decline his $15.44 million player option, enter unrestricted free agency, and land a potential short-term offer for a higher salary annually comparable to Bruce Brown’s previous two-year, $45 million deal with Indiana. Although the Nuggets have mostly been about the tandem of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, Pope has been part…

A recent report from Mundo Deportivo has revealed that Lille have turned down a €50 million offer from Liverpool for Leny Yoro, a young player who is also a target for Real Madrid. Yoro, who is just 18 years old, has caught the attention of several major European clubs during this summer’s transfer window. Among these clubs are Liverpool, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain, all eager to sign the talented centre-back from Lille. However, they are all competing with Real Madrid, who are also very interested in Yoro. According to sources in England, Lille recently rejected Liverpool’s offer of €50 million for…

The Atlanta Braves finally got back in the win column after a 6-3 win at Camden Yards. The Braves ultimately dropped the series, but Thursday afternoon’s win snapped the club’s five game skid. Reynaldo López turned in another successful start, throwing six innings of scoreless ball. He struck out eight and surrendered a base on balls. He now leads the majors in ERA with a 1.69. The lackluster offense showed some signs of life, as the Braves tallied 12 hits, five of them for extra bases. Up next, the Braves return to Truist Park where they will host the Tampa Bay Rays for a three game set. More Braves…

The Tampa Bay Rays opened their series against the Atlanta Braves with a glimmer of hope before proceeding to get A-town stomped in a 7-3 loss. The Rays had a glimmer of hope, taking an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Yandy Díaz led off with a single, and Randy Arozarena was hit by a pitch, putting runners on first and second with no outs. Amed Rosario hit a double to right field, driving in Díaz and advancing Arozarena to third. With a promising start, the Rays had the chance to build on their momentum. However,…

The New York Knicks are expected to have stiff competition in keeping their prized free-agent center Isaiah Hartenstein which could include rising Eastern Conference contender Orlando Magic. Hoopshype’s Michael Scotto reported on June 15 that the Magic could join the Hartenstein sweepstakes when the free agency opens on June 30. “The Orlando Magic is another team to monitor for Hartenstein, according to rival NBA executives who spoke with HoopsHype,” Scotto wrote. According to ESPN’s front office insider Bobby Marks, the Magic are projected to have $32 million in cap room. Orlando has injury-prone Wendell Carter, Jr. as its starting center. His chief backup Mo Wagner has a team option while third-string…

A Kentucky player who launched into a Pete Rose-esque slide during the College World Series gained some acknowledgement from Rose himself over the play. Nolan McCarthy made a great play during the Wildcats’ Super Regional game against Oregon State, catching the Beaver defense sleeping after a dropped third strike. With the game tied in the seventh inning, McCarthy took off from second on the play, then kept going when Oregon State’s pitcher did not bother to cover home plate. In order to beat the catcher to the plate, McCarthy launched into a Superman-style slide, and he ultimately scored what proved…

In what has been a difficult stretch for the Atlanta Braves, they finally stopped their five-game losing streak with a much-needed 6-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. While the offense finally came to life after scoring just a combined two runs in the first two games of the series, the starting pitching led by righty Reynaldo Lopez helped lift Atlanta to victory. Lopez pitched six brilliant innings and gave up just two hits, one walk, and struck out eight O’s to get his fourth win of the season. His ERA is now an MLB-best 1.69 as he continues to lead…
