🔮 The report didn’t include a reason for Kucherov requesting the trade, but he has told teammates and the organization that he will not be re-signing at the end of the season and wants out. The two-time MVP is in the final year of an eight-year, $76 million deal. Kucherov doesn’t have a full no-trade clause, according to The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun, and rather has provided a list of 10 approved destinations. The trade request is the latest shocker in an NHL season that has been full of them.

Saturday night’s bout in Oxford, Miss. had been circled and starred on the calendars of the college football world since December, when Kiffin bailed on the Rebels right before the College Football Playoff and fled for LSU, a program with a better pedigree — and a better contract. And with all eyes at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, both teams delivered an exciting rivalry battle as Ole Miss emerging victorious with a 32-24 victory that has a chance to being dubbed the game of the year anyway, regardless of the pregame drama, vulgar chants and past bad blood between the two teams.

Miss → kick → ball
Chambliss, who had been nearly flawless in the first half, was 3-of-12 passing on two straight drives and was sacked for a 20-yard loss on third down — much to the delight of Kiffin, who let out an emphatic fist pump after maintaining a neutral expression for much of the third quarter. asserted
who → pass → quarter
With the game tied at the beginning of the fourth quarter and all the momentum on the Tigers’ side, an LSU comeback win and Lane Kiffin getting the last laugh in a revenge game seemed inevitable — until Chambliss reminded everyone that he’s one of the best quarterbacks in the college ranks. asserted
