Longtime JUCO football coach John Beam, who starred on Netflix's "Last Chance U", was shot at Oakland's Laney College on Nov. 13.
Golden Knights Lose Fourth Straight, End Homestand 1-3-2
LAS VEGAS -- The Golden Knights lost for the fourth straight time when Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored a short-handed goal at 3:02 of overtime to lift the New York Islanders past Vegas, 4-3, on Thursday.
The Golden Knights will hit the road for a mini two-game road trip after a 1-3-2 homestand, the only win being a 1-0 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Nov. 4.
Since opening the season 5-0-2, the Knights are mired in a 2-4-3 skid since Oct. 25.
Shea Theodore, Thomas Hertl and Reilly Smith scored for Vegas, while Akira Schmid finished with 20 saves.
KEY MOMENT: After scoring three unanswered goals to erase a 2-0 deficit and take a 3-2 lead, the Golden Knights squandered it away and lost all momentum when New York's Mathew Barzal scored his fifth goal of the season to tie the game again, and ultimately force overtime.
KEY STAT: It's beginning to sound like a broken record with the Golden Knights, but another goose egg with the power play, as they were 0 for 5 with a man advantage. The Knights are now 3 of 34 with an extra skater in the last 10 games - coincidentally, or not - since Mark Stone has been sidelined with an injury.
WHAT A KNIGHT: Braeden Bowman took his rookie lap for warmups and roughly 30 minutes later made his NHL debut. Bowman, the AHL Henderson Silver Knights' leading scorer, landed four shots over his 16:45 time on ice.

Bowman skated on the right side of second-line center Tomas Hertl, along with left wing Pavel Dorofeyev. He also saw time with the first power-play unit, skating into Stone's role below the goal line.
"The rookie lap, being able to play with world-class players like Hertl and Dorofeyev, even being on the edge with (Jack) Eichel is pretty surreal and hasn’t really sunk in yet," Bowman said. "But I think that’s what I’m going to remember most."
UP NEXT: The Golden Knights conclude their season-long six-game homestand on Thursday against the New York Islanders.

Where Culture Takes the Court: Inside NYC's Battle of Jollof
Jordan Christopher Reginald Hill
Last weekend, roughly two thousand people gathered at Pier 36 in New York City for a collision of food, music, and basketball called The Battle of Jollof.
The event, now in its fifth year, featured a jollof rice cook-off, a 1v1 basketball tournament highlighting talent from across the African diaspora, and a high-stakes basketball game between Team Ghana and Team Nigeria — a showdown for bragging rights in the kitchen and on the court.
It brought together NBA and WNBA stars, Afrobeats powerhouses, a Bib-Gourmand-recognized chef, and some of the city's best restaurants, representing flavors from Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, and Ethiopia — and it was completely free of charge.
Why?
Because the purpose of the Battle of Jollof isn't fame or profit; the purpose of the event is community.
On the eve of Battle of Jollof, I sat down with Arinze Emeagwali, TJ Adeshola, and Abdul Karim Abdullah, the founders,at Ludlow House in SoHo for a pre-event gathering where they shared how this event came to be. As we walked through the four-story house to find a quiet place for our interview, they paused to greet every guest they encountered, dapping them up with a warm, welcoming energy.
Being greeted is such a significant part of African culture. If you grew up in an African home and made the mistake of walking past someone without saying hi, you've probably heard:
"You don't greet?" or in Pidgin, "You no dey greet"?
You acknowledge everyone in the room to not only show that they matter but to show that they are welcome. Being welcoming is a core value in African culture.
That sense of welcome is what sparked the idea for global brand marketer Emeagwali in 2019. He partnered with Adeshola, a sports and media executive and operating partner at Arctos Partners, and Abdullah, the founder and CEO of AfroFuture, to bring the vision to life in 2020.
"I just wanted to bring together the community — our friends and other people that aren't West African — and have a vibe and educate them," he said.
"To be Black, we have so many more similarities than we have differences, " said Adeshola. "[Battle of Jollof] is all about our shared experiences, shared culture, and pride in the nuances that exist across all of that cultural overlap."
"It's a space for us to really honor our stories, share a little bit about our culture, and to gather as a community," added Abdullah. "We're able to showcase our story, showcase who we are, and develop pride in the next generation of people who are now getting to see their culture as mainstream."
That shared pride and celebration of culture is what attracted a star-studded lineup of athletes and artists who came to support and experience Battle of Jollof firsthand.
"This event speaks to all aspects of everything that I love," said two-time WNBA All-Star and basketball analyst Chiney Ogwumike. "I think the best thing that sport does is it brings everyone together — culture, community, vibes, Afrobeats, and of course, athletes and celebrities — all celebrating what it means to be Black, to be of culture, and what it means to be of the diaspora."
"I love repping my culture, and I love Nigeria," said WNBA All-Star Kiki Iriafen. "To be able to celebrate basketball, jollof, and the beautiful African diaspora is super special. It's great for us, especially being in the States, to be able to get together, have community, and celebrate our culture and heritage.
Team Nigeria was coached by four-time WNBA All-Star Arike Ogunbowale, who led the group to an 80-74 victory over Team Ghana.
"This is my first time going. I've always seen it, but I'm super excited that I could be part of it. This is my culture, and African culture is just dope," said Ogunbowale.
Ogunbowale wasn't the only first-timer at the event. New York Knicks Star OG Anunoby came to show his support.
"I heard about the event. I thought it'd be pretty cool, so I wanted to come check it out for myself," Anunoby said. "I'm very proud of my African culture. I grew up in a Nigerian household, and it's very important to see African representation. It's very uplifting and cool for everyone to see and be a part of."
Other guests included Philadelphia 76ers Center Adem Bona, former NBA stars Pops Mensah-Bonsu, Emeka Okafor, and Ty Lawson; rapper Wale; Afrobeats sensation King Promise, Grammy-nominated artist Fridayy, host and executive producer Speedy Morman, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’Bozoma St. John — who is also the Chief Marketing Officer for NBC's On Brand with Jimmy Fallon — and more.
The influence is impressive, but at its core, Battle of Jollof is about giving back. The National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) — one of the event's sponsors — donated $5,000 in the event's honor to One Love Community Fridge.
The non-profit organization, founded by Asmeret Berhe-Lumax in June 2020, is working to eradicate hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition.
"It really is about just having an impact wherever we show up," said Lyzz Ogunwo, Vice President of Player Experience Operations and Global Impact at NBPA, on the organization's involvement.
"We already know the state of access to food right now in the United States," Ogunwo continued. "We saw this as a great opportunity to make a contribution on behalf of our players — ensuring additional access to food for those in times of need right now.
"So many of our players have shared narratives with the folks who are playing in the [tournament] and with the founders of Battle of Jollof as well. It's just an opportunity to see themselves within the diaspora community.
"It's also a great [extension] of what we've been doing with One Court Africa."
Battle of Jollof is more than an event; it's one big greeting — a warm embrace that comes from the depths of a culture and tradition that says, "Isee you, I acknowledge you." The shared plates of Jollof, the rhythm of the log drum in Afrobeats, and the shared celebrations on the court are all invitations to partake — a way to say: you are welcome.
Despite its magnitude, the founders of Battle of Jollof have full-time jobs. The event isn't a side-hustle — it's an overflow of their passion for culture and the diaspora.
"Battle of Jollof is a love letter to the community," said Adeshola. "Everybody has jobs and things that we have going on, but we recognize that this is important, and we have to prioritize bringing people together in a way that's differentiated. It's not the club, it's not a concert, it's not a party, it's truly breaking bread and watching sport.
Our hope is that everybody who walks in the space gets a plate, enjoys their jollof, and gets to experience a really dope moment with the culture."
"It's really about the community and us prioritizing paying the community — paying the mom-and-pop shops, paying the vendors, bringing them out so people can know about the Liberian place that has good Jollof.
Battle of Jollof is a moment to not only showcase African talent and how diverse we are, but to highlight African food and how diverse we are," said Emeagwali.
"It's a way to share a piece of our childhood and a piece of our culture with people," said Abdullah.
Canadiens: St-Louis Speaks On The Eve Of His 300th Game
Before the Montreal Canadiens took on the Dallas Stars on Thursday night in what was coach Martin St-Louis’ 300th game at the helm of the team, the coach gave an exclusive interview to French sports network RDS, and he had some interesting things to say.
Since becoming the coach of the most storied franchise in hockey, the Laval native has compiled a 125-136-39 record and has greatly righted the ship. Still, when asked why he’s succeeding where numerous star players have failed (think, for instance, of Wayne Gretzky), St-Louis instantly replied, “What’s succeeding? I haven’t done anything yet.” As humble as ever, he explained that it’s too early to assess his work and that once he moves on, if he’s left the organization in a better position than when he came aboard, he will have succeeded. For now, he’s happy with where they are, but that’s it.
Canadiens Collapse In Biggest Defeat Since Last December
Canadiens: Kent Hughes Inquires About Big Forward
Ex-Canadiens Goalie Having Good Start To Season
Speaking about the current state of his team, he reports that they have a good idea of how they want to play the game on both sides of the puck and that they’ve set their own expectations, even though they’ve managed to block out the outside noise and expectations. He’s proud of the progress accomplished so far, but he cannot pinpoint one thing that stands out or one player. For him, it’s been a collective process; everyone’s improvement has allowed the team to be where it is now.
Asked specifically about Cole Caufield, he states that he’s proud of him, that it’s been an excellent progression, and that, if you go back 250 games, he’s not the same player. While he still finds the back of the net, now he can play a 200-foot game and face any match-up that’s thrown his way. For the Canadiens’ coach, a person who plays hockey becomes a hockey player when they can do what the game demands of them on the ice, rather than just what they like to do.
The bench boss had plenty to say about his captain, Nick Suzuki. He praised the 26-year-old not only for his play but also for the way he leads by example on the ice and for his growth in his leadership role. He was never told how to lead, but he found his own way and confidence in the role.
Even if it was a short interview, it was worth watching. St-Louis always has interesting things to say, and what you see is what you get with the Canadiens’ coach.

The Beta Blacks: Alpha days are gone for New Zealand and their aura with it
A lack of experience has lessened the impact of the All Blacks as many key players are ineligible for selection after moving to Japan
Thursday afternoon, and the All Blacks are out on the training ground around the back of the Lensbury hotel on the banks of the Thames, it’s a warm autumn day, and the mood is pretty free and easy, Will Jordan is practising catching high balls, Beauden Barrett is taking shots at goal, the forwards are packing up after running some drills, head coach, Scott Robertson, is chatting happily with the media before his press conference. Someone asks if his team are looking to make a statement against England on Saturday, the sort that reminds everyone exactly how good they are.
“A statement performance?” Robertson says, perplexed. “We’re just looking for a result.” Time was when every All Blacks performance was a statement performance, and their head coaches didn’t go looking for results against England, or anyone else, they expected them. The remark hung in the air for a moment. It’s only Robertson’s manner. For 20 years the All Blacks press conferences have felt like being called in for an audience with the family patriarch in the back room of a wedding, Robertson’s are more like a catch-up chat with the uncle you are pleased to bump into at the buffet.

Gripping contest in April damaged both men who wouldn’t be in the ring again if it weren’t for their fathers’ fights
Boxing has always been a deeply cynical business. The overwhelming objective for most promoters, and many fighters, is to rake in as much money as quickly as possible without any undue concern about looking crass or desperate.
Anyone who has spent just a little time in the company of boxers will understand that they deserve whatever cash they can make out of such a hard and dangerous activity. But promoters have ransacked the pockets of boxing fans through the decades while peddling anything and everything from Joe Louis’s “Bum of the Month” club to this week’s proposal that Anthony Joshua may make tens of millions of dollars if he steps into the ring to face Jake Paul, the former YouTuber, next month.
Continue reading...Latest on Edwin Diaz's free agency: Blue Jays have met with his agents
Here is the latest news and buzz surrounding free agent closer Edwin Diaz and his chances of returning to the Mets...
Nov. 14, 10:57 a.m.
The Blue Jays met with Diaz's agents during this week's GM Meetings, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
Rosenthal adds that the Jays are "signaling a willingness" to "spend big and lose draft picks if necessary" this offseason.
Losing picks is something that will happen to any team that signs Diaz (other than the Mets), since he is attached to the qualifying offer, which he will reject.
As it pertains to Toronto and Diaz, Rosenthal reports that the rotation is a bigger priority than the bullpen, where Jeff Hoffman is the current closer.
Nov. 13, 8:15 p.m.
The Mets and Diaz have had discussions about a new deal, but nothing concrete has been talked about yet.
Diaz, who was at the MLB Awards on Thursday night, reiterated that he would "love" to remain a Met.
"I love New York. I would love to stay in New York, but if I have to go another place, I would be happy," Diaz told reporters, including Newsday's Laura Albanese. "I want to win a ring, so wherever I go, I want to win a ring and enjoy the time.
"I like the organization. You know, if they came with the best deal for me, I’d enjoy to stay with them, but at the end of the day, I don’t know what they’re thinking."
Nov. 12, 8:44 a.m.
With Diaz a free agent and the Dodgers searching for a high-end reliever, it seemed they might be a big threat to lure him away from the Mets.
Maybe not.
While the Dodgers are indeed seeking a jolt for their bullpen, they could be deterred by the fact that Diaz has a qualifying offer attached to him, reports Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Per Ardaya, with the Dodgers already owing draft penalties due to exceeding the luxury tax, it could "dissuade" them and other teams in similar situations from making a run at Diaz.
According to The Athletic, Los Angeles has made free agent reliever Devin Williams a target. Williams, who spent last season with the Yankees after being acquired from the Brewers via trade, was eyed by the Dodgers before that deal.
Jon Heyman of The New York Post also reported on Diaz and the Dodgers, noting that "they may not be a big player" for him.
Per Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic, the contract Diaz is seeking is "essentially the same one" the Mets gave him after the 2022 season.

NHL Rumor Roundup: Could The Oilers Pursue Juuse Saros? Have The Penguins' Trade Plans Changed?
The Edmonton Oilers' inconsistent goaltending has some observers calling on GM Stan Bowman to scour the trade market for an upgrade.
Those calls reached a crescendo following their humiliating 9-1 defeat at home to the Colorado Avalanche last Saturday.
Embattled starting goalie Stuart Skinner rebounded with back-to-back wins over the Columbus Blue Jackets and Philadelphia Flyers. However, that hasn't stopped the demands for Bowman to replace him.
Juuse Saros of the Nashville Predators is one suggested option. The 30-year-old netminder is in the first season of an eight-year contract with an average annual value of $7.74 million. He also carries a full no-movement clause, but some pundits wonder if he might waive it to join a contender.
Saros was first suggested as an Oilers trade target by Daily Faceoff's Jeff Marek on Nov. 6. Four days later, The Athletic's Allan Mitchell pondered the cost of acquiring the Predators' starter. He pointed out that it would be difficult, given that the Oilers have limited salary cap room and few trade assets.
Sportsnet's Mark Spector also acknowledged those issues. Meanwhile, Bleacher Report's Frank Seravalli noted that Saros' performance hasn't been much better than Skinner's and questions whether he has the size and ability to win in the post-season.
Mitchell felt that the Predators would have to take on two players and retain part of Saros' cap hit to make the dollars work. He suggested that replacing struggling backup Calvin Pickard would be a more prudent (and affordable) move.
As for the Predators, there is no indication that they are considering moving Saros. In other words, don't expect to see Saros suiting up for the Oilers anytime soon.
Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh, the Penguins' better-than-expected start has some observers wondering if it changes their trade plans for this season.
Defenseman Erik Karlsson and forwards Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust were fixtures in the rumor mill throughout the summer and into training camp. However, the speculation surrounding those players has largely vanished in recent weeks. The same applies to longtime Penguins stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, who surfaced briefly in the rumor mill at the start of this season.
Josh Yohe of The Athletic believes Karlsson, Rakell and Rust won't be going anywhere as long as the Penguins remain in the playoff hunt this season. He doesn't anticipate GM Kyle Dubas would spoil an opportunity for Crosby to skate in the postseason again.
Yohe also doesn't see Dubas being a major buyer at the March 6 trade deadline if the Penguins remain in playoff contention. He believes the Penguins GM won't sacrifice the future for quick fixes.

York full-back Mata'afa signs new contract
York Knights full-back Toa Mata'afa has signed a new deal to remain with the newly promoted Super League club.
The 28-year-old joined the club for 2025, having spent two seasons in France with Baroudeur de Pia and later FC Lezignan.
He made 19 appearances for the Knights in 2025 and scored 12 tries, helping them win the 1895 Cup and reach the Championship Grand Final.
"I'm really excited to continue my journey with the York Knights and step up into the Super League," Mata'afa said.
"It's a great opportunity to keep developing and help the team build on the achievements this year."
Prior to his move to the northern hemisphere, Mata'afa played for North Sydney Bears in the NSW Cup.
"For me, he's a player whose ceiling limit could be anywhere. He's got a really cool head on him, some great leadership ability, great skill and athleticism," Knights head coach Mark Applegarth said.
"The best part about Toa is I think we've barely scratched the surface with him yet and I'm really looking forward to working with him again."

Pittsburgh Penguins Vs. Nashville Predators Preview: Lineup Changes, Where To Watch
After five days off, the Pittsburgh Penguins will be back in action on Friday against the Nashville Predators for the first of two games in Sweden.
These two games are part of the NHL's Global Series for this season. The second game will take place on Sunday.
The Penguins are coming off a 3-2 loss against the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday, while the Predators lost 6-3 to the New York Rangers on Monday.
Things haven't been going well for the Predators this season, having lost five in a row and eight of their nine heading into Friday's game. They have a 5-9-4 overall record, good for only 14 points.
Filip Forsberg leads the team in goals with seven and points (14). Despite the Predators' struggles, he's one of the top goal scorers in the NHL. Ryan O'Reilly has also had a good season, compiling six goals and 13 points in 18 games. The Predators also still have Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault, who can hurt teams at any time.
The Predators will be without the services of top defenseman Roman Josi in these two games since he's on injured reserve. It's a major loss for them since he does everything as their No. 1 defenseman.
Going back to the Penguins, they took line rushes during Thursday's practice, and first-round pick Ben Kindel remained on the top line alongside Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust. Evgeni Malkin was still centering Tommy Novak and Anthony Mantha on the second line.
Here were the full practice lines:
Forwards
Kindel-Crosby-Rust
Novak-Malkin-Mantha
Dewar-Lizotte-Koppanen
Koivunen-Hayes-Tomasino
Defense
Wotherspoon-Karlsson
Shea-Letang
Clifton-Brunicke
Dumba-Graves
Time will tell if Brunicke gets back into the lineup on Friday. He has been a healthy scratch for three games in a row after last playing on Nov. 3 in Toronto.
Head coach Dan Muse confirmed after the morning skate that Arturs Silovs will start in goal after he didn't play last Sunday.
Puck drop is set for 2 p.m. ET on SportsNet Pittsburgh and NHL Network. You can also listen to the game on 105.9 'The X.'

Jamie George: ‘Why can’t we be next team talked about?’
Maro Itoje’s England have been urged to cement their place in sporting legend by becoming only the nation’s ninth ever side to defeat the All Blacks.
England head into Saturday’s crunch clash as marginal favourites, with meaning a first Twickenham win over New Zealand for 13 years, and George Ford has revealed that the former captain Jamie George has issued a call to arms, imploring his teammates to carve themselves a slice of history.
