NOW, WHAT DO CAVALIERS DO FOR AN ENCORE?

  Lots of Stuff: Let’s hear it for Virginia’s Cavaliers, especially coach   TONY ELLIOTT , QB  CARTER MORRIS  and a  defense that would have made late coach  GEORGE  WELSH  proud. I know, I know … the schedule wasn’t the toughest, and  like the Washington Commanders of a season ago they  somehow managed to win toss-up games that could have  gone either way … but fact is, they did DESPITE (it says  here) doing some really strange things, most of which  backfired, on offense. Now, if the NCAA will grant Morris another year (as it  should), with some more good fortune courtesy of the  Transfer Portal, maybe … just maybe, the Cavs won’t  advance in the opposite direction and, like the Team  Formerly Known as Redskins did in 2025, return to form  in 2026. A school-record 11 victories was nice … an ACC  championship would be nicer. ****  The ECHL players’ union ended its strike late  Satur...

A LITTLE ON A LOT...LIKE SABRES CONTINUE TO SNUB RICHMONDER

  Briefly told: Boy, were the Big 10 officials who worked Saturday’s  Pop Tarts Bowl game horrible, or what? … especially  when it came to clear and unmistakable pass interference  which, with few exceptions, they simply refused to call. ****  Maybe it is time for Clemson to kiss football coach   DABO SWINNEY  good-bye after all. ****  ZAC JONES  update: The 25 year old defenseman  from Richmond has two goals and 27 assists in 25 games  to lead AHL Rochester in scoring (29 points) and the  league in assists. Going into Saturday’s games, he was  tied for sixth in points overall. The nearest defenseman  was 51 st  … and Jones was among seven at his position  among the top 100. Nevertheless, the parent Buffalo Sabres haven’t used him  … and no one has asked why. Latest snub came Saturday  when  RASMUS DAHLIN  was sidelined for “personal  reasons” … and  RYAN JOHNSON  (9 assist...

JAKE PAUL MADE MAJOR MISTAKE TAKING ON A 'REAL' FIGHTER

  Despite an obvious (and failed) attempt by Netflix’  announcers to make viewers think they shouldn’t believe  their lying eyes,  JAKE PAUL  embarrassed himself  Saturday night in what was no-contest against two-time  and former heavyweight boxing champion  ANTHONY  JOSHUA . Paul, the so-called YouTube  sensation  and a first-class  hustler who had beaten up has-beens like  MIKE TYSON  as well as a bunch of never-was fringe pro boxers who  excelled in other contact sports, was reduced to throwing  wild punches (when he even bothered) then grabbing the  much-taller Joshua and sliding down his legs to the  canvas. Honest! He did it so often that the referee stopped the  bout (briefly) in the fourth of eight scheduled rounds to  tell them to “cut out this crap. The fans didn’t pay to see  this.” Fortunately, Netflix, which charges as much as $22 a  month to watch its entertainment...
