| | rantnrave:// LEFTY!!!... You can add MONTREAL CANADIENS analytics consultant MATT PFEFFER to the chorus of voices (i.e. everybody in NORTH AMERICA except CANADIENS general manager MARC BERGEVIN and coach MICHEL THERRIEN) who thought trading PK SUBBAN was a bad idea. Totally coincidentally, PFEFFER, who tried to talk management out of the trade, has lost his job... BERGEVIN says he isn't upset with writers who have questioned the trade because "they don't know what they don't know." Other people who don't know what they don't know: BERGEVIN, THERRIEN, you, me... Could SUBBAN ever get together with say, ALEX OVECHKIN and JONATHAN TOEWS to form a GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS-like super team? The short answer, argues PUCK DADDY's RYAN LAMBERT, is no, for a number of reasons including the way hockey is played... Fallen quarterback TIM TEBOW, strugglng golfer NATALIE GULBIS and about-to-be-extremely-rich UFC president DANA WHITE have all been invited to speak at the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. TRUMP has said repeatedly he wants "winners" at the convention. In the strictest sports sense, he's batting one for three with this batch, which is a .333 average, which would be the third best in MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL as of the All-Star break, so, um, OK... (But maybe TEBOW won't speak after all)... TRUMP once bought an autographed TEBOW helmet with money from his own charity... Putting the E in ESPN, the network will broadcast 18 straight hours of esports programming across ESPN2 and ESPNU on SUNDAY, including a live broadcast of the STREET FIGHTER V world championship finals at EVO in LAS VEGAS. | | | - Matty Karas, curator |

| What was really behind the P.K. Subban trade? It's a question many are struggling with. Subban, and many others, have been left guessing as to why GM Marc Bergevin felt it was imperative to turn the page. It may be a while until we get the answer. | | |

| Shoot 63, feel stung. That was Phil Mickelson's unfortunate plight on what forecasters say will be the last sunny, calm day at Royal Troon. With a firm grasp of history and realization the chances at a record round are dwindling, Mickelson could only lament his eight-under-par 63, the 28th in men's major championship history. | | |
