Greg Cote's Hot Button Top 10: Marchand Miracle rescues Cats, NBA, Coco, death of amateurism & more
GREG COTE'S HOT BUTTON TOP 10 (JUNE 8): WHAT IN SPORTS HAS GRABBED US THIS WEEK: Our Sunday Hot Button Top 10 notes column brings you what's on our minds, locally and nationally but from a Miami perspective and accentuating stuff that's big, weird, damnable, funny or otherwise worth needling as the sports week just past pivots to the week ahead. Welcome to the 106th edition of your HB10: 1. PANTHERS: Marchand Miracle lifts Cats in double-OT, ties Stanley Cup: Florida trailed twice in Game 2 Friday night and was at grave risk of going down 2-0 to Edmonton in the Stanley Cup Final -- a hole that has buried 91 percent of teams in SCF history. But Brad Marchand rescued the Panthers with the Marchand Miracle, a goal in the second overtime for a 5-4 road win and 1-1 series heading back to South Florida for Game 3 Monday night. Two OT games to begin promise a crazy-good series likely to go the distance as the Cats claw for a repeat-championships and the Oilers fight for that club's first title since 1990 and the first-ever to heal what's missing on Connor McDavid's otherwise impeccable resume'. 2. NBA: Thrilling upset launches unconventional Finals: Oklahoma City and Indiana both chasing their first NBA championship made for a dubious national ratings sell, and the Knicks' sudden firing of coach Tom Thibodeau glommed attention as the Finals began. But Game 1 had to be a spike on interest as Pacers rallied for a 111-110 road upset over Thunder on Tyrese Haliburton's last-second jumper. League MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander rained 38 in the loss as Pacers overcame 24 turnovers. Game 2 is Sunday/tonight back in OKC in a Finals that suddenly seems must-watch. 3. TENNIS: Coco Gauff wins French Open! Another 1-2 final today: Heavyweight championship weekend at the French Open with Nos. 1 vs. 2 finals for both the women and men. Saturday, No. 2 Coco Gauff of Delray Beach (90 minutes north of Miami) beat top-seed Aryna Sabalenka, 6-7, 6-2, 6-4, for Gauff's second career major at just age 21. Next Serena? Promising start. (Gauff en route to the crown in Paris had beaten French Cinderella Lois Boisson in the semis after earlier defeating Marie Bouzkova, girlfriend of Panthers star Aleksander Barkov.) In Sunday's men's final top-seed Cheatin' Jannik Sinner faces number two Carlos Alcaraz. 4. MONEY: Colleges directly paying athletes an historic breakthrough: Beginning on July 1 Division I schools may start directly paying players in all sports -- a first in NCAA history. It is the result of a federal judge approving a House vs. NCAA settlement that had been debated for several months. It means all athletes, but let by football and basketball, may now partake of billions of dollars in broadcast revenue and other money streams. The decision will means scholarship/roster limits and tighter on Name, Image and Likeness deals. Bottom line: Amateurism in the NCAA has died. College players are now professional athletes. 5. HORSES: Sovereignty is king(ish), wins Triple Crown double: Thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown season ended Saturday with Sovereignty beating Journalism, just as in the Kentucky Derby. Journalism had won the Preakness Stakes, so either horse could claim the 'Double Crown' in the Belmont. Sovereignty did with an impressive late sprint. (Suggestion: Derby winners must commit to the Preakness so Triple Crown hopes are not so immediately dashed.) 6. INTER MIAMI: Beckham gets knighted; ticket sales lag for FIFA Club World Cup: Inter Miami part-owner David Beckham will earn knighthood next week in Britain and be Sir David, with wife Victoria's title Lady. (Her option was Dame. Good choice, Vic.) In less happy news, FIFA continues to lower ticket prices over fears its 2025 Club World Cup could open to half-empty Hard Rock Stadium as it starts June 14 with Miami and Lionel Messi facing Egypt's Al Ahly. HRS is one of 12 U.S. host stadiums and will see eight matches including Real Madrid June 18, Bayern Munich June 20 and two round-of-16 games. Real Madrid, Man City and Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain are CWC betting favorites, with Inter Miami a middling 19th of 32 clubs. Meantime Messi is only MLS player on ESPN's latest FC 100 list of world's best players, selected eighth among 20 wingers despite turning 38 this month. 7. DOLPHINS: Questions linger as Miami wraps offseason with minicamp Dolphins end two months of offseason work with a mandatory minicamp this Tuesday through Thursday, club's last on-field activity until late-July start of full training camp. OT Terron Armstead's expected retirement became official but questions linger over when and to whom CB Jalen Ramsey likely will be traded, and whether team will give TE Jonnu Smith more money or trade him, too. Miami's '25 NFL season -- playoffs-or-out for coach Mike McDaniel and GM Chris Grier, it says here -- begins Sept. 7 at the Colts. 8. CANES BASEBALL: UM one win from return to College World Series: The Miami Hurricanes making the annual College World Series in Omaha was a near-annual occurrence for decades, until a recent program downturn. Now the Canes are one win from returning to the CWS for the first time since 2016 as four-time national champion UM has had a faith-restoring season under coach J.D. Arteaga. Sunday's rubber game of a three-game Super Regional vs. host Louisville will determine who goes to Omaha. 9. MARLINS: Getting swept by sub-sad Colorado defines Fish season: Swept at home by a Rockies team hurtling toward historic awfulness will define this season for the low-spending, no-shot Miami Marlins. Fish are now 24-38 in the midst of a season-long nine-game road trip. With all-star voting underway, Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers has the best shot to rep Miami if voters are feeling charitable or looking for a token Fish. 10. NFL: Rodgers decides his fizzling career will end in Pittsburgh: The ghost of Aaron Rodgers, 41, will sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers (assuming he passes a physical) and says he'll be at team's mini-camp this week. The not-unexpected news sets up a season opener vs. his most recent former team, the New York Jets. Rodgers was as desperate to not retire as the Steelers were for a proven QB. Pittsburgh let Russell Wilson and Justin Fields leave as free agents and had only Mason Rudolph left. Rodgers' is a one-year deal, so expect more will-he-retire drama next spring. THE LIST: FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP FAVORITES: Betting odds as of Saturday via FanDuel for favorites in the 32-team tournament opening next Saturday at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium: Club (Country) Odds Real Madrid (Spain) +410 Manchester City (England) +500 Paris Saint-Germain (France) +500 Bayern Munich (Germany) +700 Chelsea (England) +1000 Atletico Madrid (Spain) +1500 Inter Milan (Italy) +1500 Note: MLS side Inter Miami is tied for 19th favorite to win at +6000.

Stampeders down Tiger-Cats 38-26 in Calgary debut for quarterback Vernon Adams Jr.
CALGARY - Dedrick Mills scored three rushing touchdowns for the Calgary Stampeders in a 38-26 win over the visiting Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday. Quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. completed 19 of 28 pass attempts for 284 yards in his Stampeder debut while also rushing for 33 yards on three carries. He was intercepted twice in the second quarter. His backup P.J. Walker contributed a short-yardage touchdown and Rene Paredes kicked field goals from 42, 29 and 38 yards in front of an announced 18,682 on a breezy, hazy evening at McMahon Stadium. Mills rushed for 94 yards on 17 carries in the game. Kenny Lawler and Isiah Wooden scored Hamilton's touchdowns, while Marc Liegghio booted field goals from 47, 37 and 25 yards in the CFL season-opener for both clubs. The Tiger-Cats haven't won their first game of the season since 2019, while the Stampeders improved to 3-3 in their last six openers. Ticats quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell completed 31 of 50 passes for 304 yards and a touchdown throw in an interception-free start. Hamilton turned the ball over on downs three times in the game. The Stampeders scored a pivotal touchdown to start the second half when Paredes' kickoff hung in the wind. Calgary's Jeshrun Antwi got a hand on the football and teammate Kelon Thomas recovered at Hamilton's 13-yard line. After Mills ran the ball to the one, Walker scored and Paredes' convert gave Calgary a 25-10 lead. Paredes added a 29-yard field goal, while Hamilton got an 80-yard punt single from Nik Constantinou late in the third quarter. Adams scrambled out of the pocket to connect with Clark Barnes on a 65-yard passing play to end the quarter. Mills started the fourth with a five-yard dash to score, but Hamilton's Wooden returned the subsequent kickoff 105 yards for the visitors' first touchdown of the game to trail 35-18. Mitchell got the offence moving midway through the fourth quarter, but the Tiger-Cats turned the ball over on downs on third and two at Calgary's seven-yard line. Hamilton's Mario Kendricks salvaged a two-point safety, however, by sacking Adams in the end zone on Calgary's next drive. Lawler scored his first touchdown as a Tiger-Cat with a 19-yard catch and run with two-and-a-half minutes remaining on the clock. Calgary defensive back Tyler Richardson denied Hamilton's attempted two-point convert by tackling Ante Milanovic-Litre. The Tiger-Cats failed the subsequent onside-kick recovery attempt. Paredes' 38-yard field goal had the hosts up 38-26 with just over two minutes to play. Calgary led 18-9 at halftime. Mills generated his second major of the game with 11 seconds left, followed by a Paredes convert. The Tiger-Cats had turned the ball over on downs with under a minute to go in the half. Mills punched the ball in from the three-yard line five plays and 38 yards later. Calgary's 75-yard single by new Australian punter Fraser Masin with a minute left in the half gave the hosts an 11-9 lead. A Mills' 24-yard carry had Calgary threatening, but Adams was intercepted a second time in the second quarter half with Jonathan Moxey getting Hamilton the ball. The Ticats converted that turnover into a 37-yard Liegghio field goal to trail by a point. Calgary led 10-3 after the opening quarter. The Stampeders scored on the game's first possession with Adams marching the offence 85 yards on nine plays for Mills to cap with a one-yard dart into the end zone. Hamilton countered with Liegghio's 47-yard field goal on the Tiger-Cats' first drive of the game. Mitchell reached 11th all-time in passing yardage in the CFL on that drive to get to 39,047 yards, with 32,541 of those produced as a Stampeder between 2012 and 2022. Calgary's Paredes responded from 42-yards later in the first quarter, while Liegghio was good from 25 yards to start the second. UP NEXT Stampeders: Visit the Toronto Argonauts next Saturday. Tiger-Cats: Host the Saskatchewan Roughriders next Saturday. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 7, 2025. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.

Cote: Hated to hero: Marchand's double-OT Panthers goal beats Edmonton, ties Stanley Cup Final
Coach Paul Maurice dared call these Florida Panthers the best team he has ever coached in his long NHL career, daring mainly because he won his first Stanley Cup championship with last year's Cats. If this year's team is better to prove Maurice right -- still to be determined -- look back to Game 2 Friday night-into-Saturday morning for the answer why. Look to Brad Marchand, the most dynamic of the first-year Cats, the clutch veteran ... the difference. Marchand scored twice including the game-winner in double-overtime that won Game 2, 5-4, and evened this Stanley Cup Final series 1-1. 'It helps the experience these guys have,' Marchand said afterward. 'We have so many leaders on the team. We definitely have that confidence in our group.' Said teammate Sam Bennett of Marchand: 'He's just an absolute dog. His energy, his battle...' Florida trailed twice in Edmonton Friday and was facing a 2-0 series deficit, a deep hole that has doomed 50 of 55 teams ever in it, or 91 percent. Instead the Panthers make the 2,500-mile trip back home flying high as that flight with the series knotted after Friday's dramatic comeback triumph. Marchand has gone hated-to-hero in a matter of weeks, with a late-season trade bringing him to Sunrise from the rival Boston Bruins, with whom Marchand was despised by Panthers fans and Panthers alike. My how that script has flipped as Marchand helps the Panthers chase a second straight Stanley Cup crown. 'Us against the world,' as the Cats' Matthew Tkachuk called his team's mindset going in. 'We've got battle scars on us. We're a strong group mentally.' They proved it Friday and now Games 3 and 4 are on South Florida home ice Monday and Thursday. It was deep into the second period when Marchand netted what seemed like his first game-winning, short-handed goal -- Florida not only killing the Oilers' advantage but scoring on a breakaway. A perfect pass from Anton Lundell found Marchand in stride and one-one-one vs. Skinner, who stood little chance until he had none and the home crowd went quiet. The eventual game-winner in the second OT was similar as Lundell fed a pass that Marchand went forehand to backhand to beat goalie Stuart Skinner, who got a piece of the puck but cold not stop it from sliding slowly over the goal line. Florida led by one goal entering the third period in Game 1 too but would lose in overtime. Not this time. This time the third period was marked by frantically tenacious defense and by the quiet excellence Cats fans have come to expect of Sergei Bobrvosky. The seconds were down to fractions Friday night: 17.8 left for Florida to win in regulation. But that's when an arena and all of Edmonton -- maybe all of Canada -- went from quiet to sonic joy. That might have been the number that burned into infamy in South Florida sports history. The Florida Panthers were so close to winning Game 2 and tying this Stanley Cup Final in regulation you could have held your breath for the time that was left. Plenty of fans in South Florida may have been doing just that. But for the second game in a row the Panthers failed to hold onto a late lead, and watched a game go into overtime, only the sixth time the first two games of a Final have gone into OT. Florida's would-be 4-3 victory turned to overtime when the Oilers' Corey Perry, age 40, scored the latest regulation game-tying goal in Stanley Cup history. It was in the second OT that Marchand's goal ended it, finally, as one exhusted team celebrated and the other exhausted team slumped off the ice. The game began as insanity on ice with Edmonton up, 3-2, after one period -- the five goals the most in a Final first in nine years, and spiced by seven combined power plays borne of myriad physical flareups. This after Game 1 went to overtime. U.S. TV viewership for Game 1 was down 22 percent from a year earlier. How much excitement do y'all require? Florida led 1-0 Friday two minutes in on Sam Bennett's wrist-shot score on a power play for his NHL-leading 13th goal this postseason. Edmonton had score first in nine straight games before this. The deficit appeared not to bother the Oilers. They evened at 1-1 mid-period on Evander Kane's even-strength snap shot inside the upper right net over Sergei Bobrovsky'e left shoulder. It was 2-1, Edmonton, two minutes later on a straight-on bullet from distance by Evan Bouchard, who has one of the hardest shots in hockey. Aleksander Barkov blocked hsi initial shot, but it caromed back to Bouchard and he cashed the followup. Barkov's shoulders slumped in disbelief. Florida evened 2-2 when Seth Jones' snap shot lit the lamp and muted the crowd. The building wasn't quiet for long. Oilers were up 3-2 one minute later on a power play finished by Leon Draisaitl -- though the penalty so costly to Florida was a greasy one, indeed , one that ought not have been called. Bennett was boxed for goaltender interference on a play in which he goalie Stuart Skinner was shaken up, though replays showed the Oilers' Mattias Ekholm knocked Bennett into Skinner. Edmonton's lead nevertheless was earned, as Draisaitl's put he finishing touch on brilliance by Connor McDavid, who slalomed through Barkov and Aaron Ekblad to feed Draisaitl masterfully in close. The second period settled into normalcy ... until it erupted n Florida's favor. Midway through the Cats evened it 3-3 on Dmitry Kulikov's hard wobbler that found the net off the right hip of Bouchard. Great passing by Barkov and Carter Verhaeghe controlled the puck until it found Kulikov. Later in the second the Panthers seized a 4-3 lead on a short-handed goal -- not only killing the Oilers' advantage but scoring on Brad Marchand's breakaway goal. A perfect pass from Anton Lundell found Marchand in stride and one-one-one vs. Skinner, who stood little chance until he had none. That was the lead Florida failed to hold for 17.8 more seconds. Then came a first overtime period that was scoreless even as Marchand hit the post with a shot and Sam Reinhart failed to score on a one-on-one breakaway. Then came the second OT, Marchand's second goal, and a happy flight home filled with renewed hope.
