Southern hockey surge: NHL teams thrive in non-traditional markets, from Texas to Florida

Popeye Jones was an NBA rookie with the Mavericks the same season that Dallas debuted its new NHL team, and he decided to go to a Stars game after meeting future Hall of Fame player Mike Modano. 'I couldn't figure out hockey. They were jumping over and off the ice … I'm like, 'what's going on with this sport?'' Jones said. 'The puck flew up, I remember it hit somebody in the nose, blood was all over the ice and they kept playing.'

Belmont 2025: Odds, And How To Bet The Gauntlet Journalism Will Run

LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY - APRIL 29: Sovereignty runs on the track during the morning training in preparation for the 151st Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on April 29, 2025 in Louisville, Kentucky. (Photo by) That the $2-million 157th running of the Belmont Stakes is blessed with talent is not the big worry this afternoon in Saratoga. Rather, it's how to play this bristling field of eight warriors. Overnight at the Spa, as we read from the track odds below, the whole notion of a 'top favorite' as such, is out the window. Predictably, faced with Journalism's ultra-skinny status as the top fave, his price slid up as the Belmont weekend opened yesterday, while Sovereignty and Baeza's prices came down. For however long it lasts after the windows open at the track today, this morning everybody's sitting on the magic number of 7-2. It's like watching a pod of circus elephants trying to stand on the same little pedestal. Their prices may diverge slightly, this way or that, as the money wakes up out at the track, but the theory is, they won't materially diverge. The further problem for players is, it's not just the equine athletes that bristle with talent this year. Asked another way: How terrifying is 'Big Money' Mike Smith? But before we dive into the weeds on what Hall-of-Famer Smith, who has won the Belmont three times, can make the front-running gunslinger Rodriguez capable of, here are the live odds as compared with the morning line for the esteemed 157th running. We'll update the live odds as the windows open and the money starts to talk about how it feels out at the Spa later this morning. Caveat emptor: The money's going to take us on a long, wearying see-saw ride this afternoon. And after it all, there may still just be three co-favorites as the gate slams open. Get ready for that nutty odds picture, everybody. (Source: NYRA, 6/7/2025) It's axiomatic that, pretty much wherever you might go in Thoroughbred racing, including to Europe and the Middle East, if you have the misfortune to run against Smith — as the co-favorite trainers William Mott (Sovereignty) or John Shirreffs (Baeza) will have in very short order — Smith will deftly amplify the specific abilities of any mount he guides by orders of magnitude. He's won the Belmont three times and stands tall in the history book of American and European racing as the jockey with the most Breeder Cup race wins, period, at a remarkable twenty-seven and counting. So: What can Smith make Rodriguez do? The answer is simple, but very complex: Build a gate-to-wire scenario. It means that Smith has to help Rodriguez get away fast and clean, get up front, and then hone the pace in his favor so that, when the challenges begin, Rodriguez has enough gas in the tank to stand a good chance in the wild five-way battle royal between himself and Journalism, Sovereignty, Baeza and Hill Road in the last two furlongs of a nine-furlong stakes. Todd Pletcher's Crudo remains a thorn in all their sides and certainly retains the power to screw up any scenario that any more highly thought-of favorite would imagine. By this we do not mean to predict that Rodriguez will win the Belmont. In fact, all of the highly tactical maneuvering above is a lot for Rodriguez to master in two short minutes while rocketing out in front of the crowd for a mile-and-a-quarter. But it's also a hard, cold fact that New Mexico's very own cowboy Bob Baffert has trained many a colt to do just that, and it's another fact that Mike Smith, who won the Triple Crown for Baffert atop Justify in 2018, has time and again perfectly executed that exact ride. For their part in the mad fray, the three main closers — Journalism, Sovereignty, and Baeza — will be attempting to build another sort of race for themselves. In fact they'll be sitting — with minor exceptions, more or less where their connections would like them — up the backstretch and their battle will begin as they enter the far turn. Depending on how much fuel Umberto Rispoli (Journalism), Flavien Prat (Baeza) and Junior Alvarado (Sovereignty) feel like they have under them, somebody, or some constellation of somebodies, will have to move outside to gain footing — aka, position — for the stretch battle. It's about a jockey's choice of moment in the search for daylight. With this field, that will be especially tough. Which is where Sovereignty's exceedingly tough last two furlongs of the Kentucky Derby — through the mud — will come in handy for trainer William Mott and jockey Junior Alvarado. They have run this race before. That's not meant to imply that Saratoga's weather will be taking a turn for the worse at or before 7:04 p.m. Eastern, rather, it's to say that in a complex, chess-like stretch battle of this high caliber, Sovereignty's native toughness of mind is a tool that can carry him past Journalism for a second time. BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - MAY 17: Jockey Umberto Rispoli celebrates aboard Journalism #2 ahead of jockey Luis Saez and Gosger #9 after winning the 150th Preakness Stakes the 150th Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course on May 17, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland.

WWE star The Miz discusses John Cena's farewell tour, says it 'would be incredible' to have one last match

The John Cena farewell tour has taken its twists and turns. The 17-time WWE champion "sold his soul" to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, turned on his fan base and defeated Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. Since then, Cena has vanquished Randy Orton and aligned himself with Logan Paul entering the WWE Money in the Bank premium live event. There will be endless suitors for Cena's opponents with only a few dates left on his calendar. WWE star The Miz expressed hope he could be one of those challengers. One of the first major feuds for The Miz was against Cena in 2009. He coined his famous catchphrase, "Because I'm The Miz and I'm … Awesome!" And he developed his skull-crushing finale finishing maneuver. The two were even tag-team champions for off of about nine minutes. The Miz defeated Cena to retain the WWE Championship at WrestleMania XXVII. "That would be incredible. I think everyone wants to put their name in the hat to have one final match with John Cena," he told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. "And I do believe that this is his farewell tour." The Miz made one thing clear. He does believe this is the end of Cena's in-ring career. Cena has admitted he can't do the things he used to be able to in the ring. As the end for Cena nears, The Miz said fans should cherish the final moments they get to watch Cena. "I know people are like, 'Oh, he'll be back, he'll be back.' When John Cena says he's done in the wrestling ring, he's gonna be done – wrestling," he said. "I think other things he might be able to do, but wrestling in a ring, I think this is the last year we're gonna see him. "So, I think we should cherish it. We should watch it and enjoy what he's doing. Whether you don't like what he is doing or you do like what he's doing, just sit back and watch because he truly is the GOAT."
