MLB HEADLINES

We're 25 years into the 2000s, and these stars are at the top of the leaderboards

Matusz, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2008 MLB Draft, spent a majority of his eight seasons with the Orioles. He won his Major League debut on August 4, 2009, as he gave up just one run in five innings. Matusz pitched in 280 regular season games throughout his career, starting in 69 of them. He pitched for two Orioles’ Postseason teams (2012 and 2014), making seven total Postseason appearances out of the bullpen. He made his last Major League appearance with the Cubs in 2016. He was 37 years old.

Giants, RHP Justin Verlander reportedly agree to 1-year deal, per multiple reports including MLB Network insider Jon Heyman.

NHL HEADLINES

Sean Higgins pleaded not guilty and has formally rejected a plea offer that would have seen him spend 35 years in prison for the deaths of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, meaning this case will now go to trial. If convicted at trial, Higgins faces up to 30 years in prison for each of the aggravated manslaughter charges. Higgins is next scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 4. He will remain in custody.

Connor Hellebuyck becomes the third-fastest goaltender in NHL history to reach 300 career wins (538 games)!

Only five players in NHL history have recorded 100 assists in a single season. Will Nathan MacKinnon join the list this year? He has 52 assists in 41 games played for the Colorado Avalanche so far this season.

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Sidney Crosby has passed Patrice Bergeron for the most faceoff wins since the NHL began keeping the stat in 1997/98! 1. Sidney Crosby - 15,183 2. Patrice Bergeron - 15,182 3. Anze Kopitar - 14,031 4. Joe Thornton - 13,408 5. Jonathan Toews - 11,986

NCAAF HEADLINES

Johnson had 83 REC for 898 YDS and 10 TDs during the 2024 season for the Ducks.

NBA HEADLINES

"This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object."

The Suns lost to a team with a payroll close to par with their Big 3. That's right folks, a Hornets team that's spending 1/3 of what the Suns are investing with their lethal trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal.

THAT WAS SICK!
