"You must stand firm. You must make a point. About who you are, what you do, and where you come from. When that time comes, you do it."

Unrest in Mexico as State Kills Head of Top Drug Cartel


Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, also known as "El Mencho", the head of Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) died after being wounded in a firefight with state security forces in a town in the Mexican state of Jalisco. Armored vehicles, rocket launchers and other weaponry were seized by state authorities in the operation.

In western Mexico members of CJNG blocked roadways with burning vehicles to show the cartel's continued potency. Airports shut down and major airlines cut flights. Public transportation was suspended and civilians advised to shelter in place. The U.S. State Department issued an advisory to the same effect to all American citizens in five Mexican states.

Insensitive! "Thunder" Hand "Cavaliers" Rare Loss

Without FOUR starters, OKC was okay. MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ab. strain), Jalen 
Williams (hammy), Ajay Mitchell (ab. strain), and Alex Caruso (ankle sprain) all sat in the 121-113 dub in OKC. Sensitive City's 7-game win streak took a seat, too. The "Thunder" lead virtually the entire game and topped out at 23. "Cavs" largest lead: uno.

In other Least action, Ontario State bagged the "Bucks" 122-94 and Majestic Soaring "Hawks" shook off Rust 115-104. Lizards host Queens (6 pm), Beans are at La-La Lake-Lake (6:30), Seven Foot Sixers are in Ice (7 bells), and Mamdani City is in the Windy City (8 pm). If Dire Wolves devour Phila., and they are 9.5-point favorites to feast, Miam-uh will move into the sixth and final playoff spot.

FT Tottenham 1 Arsenal 4

A superb, dominant, second half by the league leaders. Good show.👏👏

1-3, 61'. I feel Arsenal are now safe.

Spurs 1 Arsenal 2, 47' 👏

Painful

HT Tottenham 1 Arsenal 1.

Arsenal had the Premier League title in the palm of its hand. Then Manchester City completed a sweep of Liverpool for the first time in 89 years with a 2-1 win at Anfield. That haunted Arsenal, who could feel the Beast coming off the ground and his hot breath on the back of their necks. The ghosts of going wooly in the knees again.

Arsenal "responded" with a 2-2 draw at dead last Dire Wolves. City had closed the gap at the top.

Then yesterday, City won a nervy match in east Manchester against Newcastle. The gap was 2 on an even number of matches played. Advantage Manchester City, for if we beat Arsenal at home later in the season, and don't drop points that they don't also drop, we will win the title.

Now today. Arsenal scored first in the 32' against a Spurs squad fighting a relegation battle with Dire Wolves and two others. But Spurs responded just 2' later. 

Arsenal have finished runners-up three straight seasons. They have the best squad in all of Merry Ol'. But if they drop points today, as they are half way to doing, City will have the league in its palm, and will begin to grasp it.

U.S.A. WINS GOLD! FT 2-1 (OT)

But for an attempt to break a Canadian's wrist (but that's going to happen in hockey, see Bobby Clarke-breaking Valeri Kharlamov's ankle), Tkachuk hate did not win this game for Team U.S.A. The American goalkeeper, Connor Hellebuyck, the Player of the Game, won it.

Canada 1 U.S.hAte 1, End Reg.

Now we skate 3-on-3 until somebody scores for the 🥇

Canada power play coming! 

P3 3:23 - USA 1, Canada 1

A high-sticking penalty by the U.S. and now Canada will have the upper hand! Incredible drama here! Jack Hughes called for getting Horvat up high.

We'll get 49 seconds of 4-on-4 and then a 1:11 power play.
