  2. Vikings open season fumbling at historically bad rate. On the Vikings’ second play of the third quarter, Eagles pass rusher Josh Sweat bore down for a strip sack of Cousins for Minnesota’s fourth lost fumble of the game. That’s four in the span of 31 minutes of football. Plus, throw in the two Cousins lost in Week 1, and the Vikings have the most fumbles lost (six) through a team’s first two games since the 2003 St. Louis Rams. https://www.nfl.com/news/2023-nfl-season-week-2-what-we-learned-from-eagles-win-over-vikings-on-monday-ni Let's get ready to Fummmmble!
  3. Report: CanMNT's Hoilett to join Whitecaps Make it a third Canada international headed to the Vancouver Whitecaps. On the heels of Richie Laryea coming aboard and Sam Adekugbe rejoining the team, the Vancouver Sun's JJ Adams reports the team is signing free-agent winger Junior Hoilett. https://www.tsn.ca/soccer/vancouver-whitecaps-to-sign-canada-winger-david-junior-hoilett-1.2007151
  4. So long Sergio Cordova; the Whitecaps hardly knew ya The Vancouver Whitecaps are in the final stages of transferring the Venezuelan striker to Turkish Süper Lig side Alanyaspor, ending a short and forgettable tenure in Vancouver. The deal isn’t finalized yet. https://theprovince.com/sports/soccer/mls/vancouver-whitecaps/so-long-sergio-the-whitecaps-hardly-knew-ya
  5. For the year? I'm thinking his career is over.
  6. Aaron Rodgers injures his left Achilles tendon in his first series for the Jets Aaron Rodgers' debut with the New York Jets lasted just four snaps. And now the four-time MVP and a shell-shocked fanbase will have to see how long he might be sidelined. Rodgers injured his left Achilles tendon when he was sacked by Buffalo's Leonard Floyd and fell awkwardly on the leg during Monday night's 22-16 overtime win over the Bills. Coach Robert Saleh confirmed the injury after the game and said Rodgers would have a MRI on Tuesday. The team said during the game that X-rays were negative. https://www.thestar.com/sports/football/aaron-rodgers-injures-his-left-achilles-tendon-in-his-first-series-for-the-jets/article_4bb79e56-91a6-5267-a4ba-7bfdafcfc913.html
  7. Should be a good one tonight: Buffalo v Rodgers and the Jets
  8. Steelers and Giants say "Amen!".
  9. The Pope's Exorcist Any horror movie involving an exorcist immediately has a strike against it - it simply can't compete with William Friedkin's original "The Exorcist". And this is true of this movie. Starring Russell Crowe, it's not bad, with the usual projectile vomiting and throwing people around. (Speaking of which, I was reading some comments about the movie and someone noted: Why can demons like these throw people across the room without touching them but they can't get out of bed? Good question.) Three stars out of five. Available on Crave.
  10. 'World's Loneliest Lion' Moves to Sanctuary After 5 Years in a Concrete Cell at a Closed Zoo A lion left by himself at an abandoned zoo in Armenia for five years has finally found freedom at a sanctuary in South Africa. According to the animal rescue organization Animal Defenders International (ADI), 15-year-old Ruben was the only remaining animal at a private zoo in Armenia that closed five years ago. New homes were found for the shuttered zoo's other animals, but none of these locations had room for Ruben. As a result, Ruben spent five years in a concrete cell, where his mobility deteriorated due to malnutrition and no exercise. "Lions are the most sociable of the big cats, living in family prides in the wild," ADI President Jan Creamer said in a statement. "So it must have been devastating for Ruben to have no contact or communication with other lions." Fortunately, "the world's loneliest lion" got help through ADI and Qatar Airways Cargo, which arranged Ruben's 5,200-mile trip from Armenia to the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in Free State, South Africa. After a successful flight to the sanctuary in August, Ruben is acclimating to his new home in his natural environment and rehabilitating from his lonely years at the zoo. The 455-acre sanctuary houses 32 rescued lions and tigers, per ADI.

  12. The Story of Our Universe May Be Starting to Unravel Not long after the James Webb Space Telescope began beaming back from outer space its stunning images of planets and nebulae last year, astronomers, though dazzled, had to admit that something was amiss. Eight months later, based in part on what the telescope has revealed, it’s beginning to look as if we may need to rethink key features of the origin and development of the universe. Launched at the end of 2021 as a joint project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency, the Webb, a tool with unmatched powers of observation, is on an exciting mission to look back in time, in effect, at the first stars and galaxies. But one of the Webb’s first major findings was exciting in an uncomfortable sense: It discovered the existence of fully formed galaxies far earlier than should have been possible according to the so-called standard model of cosmology. According to the standard model, which is the basis for essentially all research in the field, there is a fixed and precise sequence of events that followed the Big Bang: First, the force of gravity pulled together denser regions in the cooling cosmic gas, which grew to become stars and black holes; then, the force of gravity pulled together the stars into galaxies. The Webb data, though, revealed that some very large galaxies formed really fast, in too short a time, at least according to the standard model. This was no minor discrepancy. The finding is akin to parents and their children appearing in a story when the grandparents are still children themselves. It was not, unfortunately, an isolated incident. There have been other recent occasions in which the evidence behind science’s basic understanding of the universe has been found to be alarmingly inconsistent.

  13. Miami 3 LAFC 1 An entertaining game. Could easily have been a 3-3 draw but LAFC didn't finish their chances and Miami did. Second game in a row that Messi didn't score a goal (although he did get two assists). That being said, this is Miami's eleventh undefeated game in a row since Messi arrived.
  14. https://www.whitecapsfc.com/news/caps-win-the-cascadia-cup 'Caps win the Cascadia Cup After a 2-2 draw between Seattle Sounders FC and Portland Timbers on Saturday, neither rival can catch the 'Caps in the Cascadia Cup standings, giving the club's supporters a record tying seventh title. The Cascadia Cup has been awarded since 2004 by supporters of Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Seattle Sounders FC, and Portland Timbers to the club with the most points in matches between the three clubs.
  15. Should be a good one. Two of the best teams in MLS right now. Playing at LAFC which has one of the best, and loudest, supporters' groups in MLS.
  16. Not sure what, if anything, it means but looking at the clip you posted, that seemed to be a pretty subdued celebration by the Canadian team at the end of the game.
  17. However, to give the man his due: And at the end of the clip the announcer says Manchester City "...weren't at their best today."
  18. On the bright side, Chelsea and Newcastle both lost today.
  19. NYCFC 1 Vancouver 1 Kind of a ho-hum game. First three games of the seven game road trip now in the books. Seven points from a possible nine? We'll take that.
