The game looked beautiful, with its lush green felt pitches, plentiful accessories, and detailed crowd models all the way down to one man and his dog. You could even buy the picket fences and…

Nashville Predators goalie Juuse Saros' 64 saves Jan. 5 against the Carolina Hurricanes set a franchise record, a nice note on his resume to be sure. Also to be sure, having the third-most saves in a game in NHL history means your team is doing something wrong. The Predators have relied a ton on Saros, who led the NHL in minutes played last season…

That means there are 19 to go and we have a big second half ahead. Sportsmail asked me to deliver a team talk to each club. There will not be any Neil Warnock effing and blinding. But maybe I'll go full…

For the lack of consistency and sustained success the Nashville Predators have shown in the first half of 2022-23, at least we have rookie Juuso Pärssinen growing into a more impactful player every game he plays.

The Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby (5.20) has come a long way in its 153-year existence. Created in 1866, it took until 1907 for Orby to do the Epsom and Curragh Derby double, and another 57 years before Santa Claus became the second. These days things are different and Anthony Van Dyck would become the 19th horse to etch his name on both trophies…

Chelsea will be desperate to pick up three points on Sunday afternoon when they face Crystal Palace in the Premier League. A 2-1 defeat to west London rivals Fulham in Chelsea's last outing means the Blues have won just one of their last nine Premier League games, leaving Graham Potter's side 10th in the league table.

A funny thing has happened on the way to what assorted baseball media figures assumed was another 100+ loss season for the Orioles.

Although there are still 41 games left to sort it out, at the midpoint a 19-19-3 record has to register as a disappointment, after so much hype over off-season signings and improvements.
