ESPN Did Right in Firing Shannon Sharpe
Shannon Sharpe is a 3x Super Bowl champion with the Denver Broncos. Of course, he is going to hold name recognition and wife settlement that he is no longer with ESPN.
Sharpe insisted he was accused of a targeted shakedown. What are there proceedings mistrue?
In certain kinds of cases and instances, NFL players leave the NFL or even wind up in false cases of continuance misconduct and do unnecessary harm.
ESPN did the right move in firing Sharpe. It would have led to an image crisis and ESPN does not need that right now. Sharpe is under the law that he raped a woman and it says a lot.
Fox Sports and ESPN did not need to withhold allegations from October 2024 and beyond and figure Sharpe is a con man for sexual assault that was not consensual.

Alexander Ovechkin Passes Wayne Gretzky with No. 895
Alexander Ovechkin does not get praised enough because he has not finished or accomplished what Wayne Gretzky has attained. Ovechkin has faced mighty feats whether winning the 2018 Stanley Cup or joining Gordie Howie and Wayne Gretzky with 800 career goals.
Something crazy took place Sunday afternoon, and I mean spectacular. He surpassed all-time NHL great Wayne Gretzky with 895 goals off a goal to Ilya Sorokin of the New York Islanders in UBS Arena and the crowd went wild. His teammates partied and huddled around him and afterwards Gary Bettman and Wayne Gretzky came down the aisle to congratulate Mr. Ovechkin.
It was a self-serving event as one’s got to wonder left all the accomplishments that do remain for Ovechkin as he is not far from over from being one of the greatest of all time.

Edmonton Hangover
The 4 Nations play comes to a close as now the Edmonton Oilers find themselves in a bit of a hole. That has begun with captain of Edmonton, Conor McDavid. He has only accrued one power play assist in the last two games. Not so Conor McDavid after his pickup win over USA.
He said the following, “We haven’t been very good. Just getting back to work. Sometimes this happens after breaks. Some teams come up flying. Some teams come up flat. We have obviously done the latter. So yeah, gotta get back to it.”
Even though he was not Team Canada captain, Sidney Crosby, I respect his leadership but not his accountability. This has been the eying problem of McDavid from time to time especially against the Philadelphia Flyers, to no fault are in a rebuilding phase and look great with rookie Matvei Michkov and John Tortorella trying to prove on his resume he can take a seed and rise to the occasion.
All that aside, they did also play Alexander Ovechkin and the defense cannot allow errors in the marginal column when it enters the postseason. It is highly touted with Darnell Nurse and Evan Bouchard.
Nurse is in fact the nephew of star quarterback Donovan McNabb and comes to the aid when necessary. Edmonton cannot afford to lose out because if they do, the Calgary Flames or Vancouver Canucks might creep up, and you do not want that, Edmonton, Canada.
