On Headline Sports with Jessica:

#1 Ohio State hockey player Kamil Sadlocha hurled racial slurs toward Michigan Spartans hockey player Jagger Joshua multiple times during their two game series earlier this month on Nov 10 and Nov 11 at Michigan State. The specific slur was not given but an on ice official heard what Sadlocha was saying and hit him with a misconduct penalty. In the aftermath Ohio State has sent Sadlocha packing as he has left the school and went home for the rest of the year.

#2 It all went bad for the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football in Mexico City. First the Cardinals just got trashed by the San Francisco 49ers 38-10. Second the Cardinals were without their starting quarterback Kyler Murray and replacement quarterback Colt McCoy threw for only one touchdown and the Cardinals ended up firing their assistant offensive line coach Sean Kugler before when Mexican authorities reported to the Cardinals that Kugler had groped a woman. The Cardinals with the loss fell to 4-7.

#3 Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry and Tampa Bay Bucs quarterback Tom Brady plus a number of other celebrities who endorsed Cryptocurrency FTX are being sued for advertising fraud. Customers took the celebrities at their word that the Crypto exchange was a good investment until FTX founder Sam Bankman Fried said the company is filing bankruptcy which has lost between $8 to $12 billion in customer investments.

#4 Free agent Aaron Judge who played his last season with the New York Yankees in 2022 and turned down a $213.5 million seven year extension deal and met with San Francisco Giants brass on Tuesday in San Francisco. Judge could command as much as $400 million in a seven year deal. The Yankees are waiting on the sidelines to see what San Francisco offers and could very well match their offer.

#5 After former Cincinnati Red Pete Rose who earlier this month wrote an apology to Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred for gambling on baseball in the 1980s while manager of the Reds. MLB Today’s Game Committee is considering voting for steroid era players for Hall of Fane induction. To name a few Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa, Alex Rodriguez, Rafael Palmerio, and Jose Canseco could be elected into baseball’s Hall of Fame. Some say if the steroid era players get in Rose should be in the Hall with them.

Kings Winning Streak Halted At Seven- Losing To Hawks 115-106

By Barbara Mason

Wednesday night the Sacramento Kings (10-7) took on the Atlanta Hawks (11-7) at State Farm Arena. The Kings are coming off a win over Memphis Tuesday 113-109 while the Hawks lost to the Cavaliers on Monday 114-102.

The Kings trailed at the half 72-57. Sacramento lost the first quarter 35-26 and the second quarter 37-31. The Kings were struggling defensively and were challenged in trying to contain the Hawks Trae Young. The Kings had a lot of trouble getting those three’s to fall as they missed shot after shot from downtown. Turnovers were also mounting as the game went on.

The Kings made up some ground in the third quarter winning it 31-25.

Sacramento got to within seven points in the fourth quarter but the Hawks answered every time extending their lead with shots from outside. As the clock began to wear down, the Kings had 19 turnovers which Atlanta took advantage of to the tune of 17 points.

The Kings seven game winning streak was in jeopardy with 2:39 left in the game. Sacramento had so many opportunities but their downfall beyond the turnovers were the missed three’s. They were eight of 29 from downtown. With 48.6 left on the clock Young said good night to the Kings with yet another shot from downtown. The final was 115-106.

Although the Kings dominated in the paint it was those turnovers that really hurt them in this game. De’Aaron Fox had a slow start but finished with 18. Malik Monk had a monster game with 27 points off the bench. The Kings were sluggish out of the gate and just weren’t able to get going.

Young had 35 points for Atlanta getting open consistently throughout the entire game. The Hawks didn’t have a great fourth quarter but the Kings just didn’t take advantage of their let-down. Friday night the Kings will travel to Boston to take on the Celtics at TD Garden. They will get a chance to rest tomorrow after taking on this challenging road trip. Tipoff is scheduled for 5:00 PM.

On the 49ers podcast with David:

#1 Dave, San Francisco 49ers (6-4) quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw for four touchdowns on Monday Night Football in Mexico City. It was quite a night for Garoppolo as the crowd was behind Garoppolo all game long.

#2 Dave, this one was special as it was the first NFL game played in Mexico City since 2019 and the fans were into it as Garoppolo had opportunities to throw against the Arizona Cardinals (4-7) defense and helped run up the score for a 38-10.

#3 Running back Christian McCaffrey carried seven times for 39 yards with no touchdowns at it was a relatively quite night for McCaffrey but you just never know when he’s going to bust out.

On That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast:

#1 Amaury, Oakland A’s executive Billy Beane will no longer run the day to day operations for the A’s but moves up to the number two position in the organization as senior advisor.

#2 Will part of being a senior advisor include having a say in where the A’s go in the event that the new mayor and new city council in Oakland vote against a Howard Terminal project in downtown Oakland?

#3 Beane said he was appreciative of A’s owner John Fisher and the working relationship that the developed over the years since Fisher became team owner. Beane also said that he has confidence in team general manager David Forst leading the club to being competitive and being one of the best executives in baseball.

#4 Beane had said that he had great hopes for the future of the A’s but were those hopes in Las Vegas or in Oakland. There is also a possibility that the new governor of Nevada Joe Lombardo might not fund a new A’s ballpark with public money and the City of Oakland may not vote for a new Howard Terminal ballpark.

#5 Worst case scenario for the A’s if both Vegas and Oakland projects go down the only choice left for the A’s are to stay at the Coliseum something that A’s president David Kaval and Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said is not even a consideration but never say never.

On the Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony R:

#1 Tony, first the win for the Las Vegas Raiders it had to be the weight off the shoulders of head coach Joshua McDaniels and the players after going on a three game losing streak that seemed to take forever for them.

#2 Tony, talk about the Raiders walk off touchdown they got from wide receiver Davante Adams who caught a 35 yard pass from quarterback Derek Carr for the overtime win Sunday.

#3 Two weeks ago after a very emotional Carr took a 25-20 loss to the Indianapolis Colts very hard in a post game presser it seemed in that moment that the dressing room regrouped and in practice everybody seemed to be on a mission and they just wanted to stop the pain of losing games.

#4 Tony, talk about that drive and determination by the Raiders to push for overtime and finally finish a game like that with the results they worked hard for.

#5 Raiders head to Seattle to face the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field. The Raiders have not strung even two wins together this season. This is their chance to do it this Sunday. The Seahawks have won four of their last five games. How do you see the match up for this Sunday a 1:05 pm kick off.

Sharks play well dominate Senators 5-1

By Jerry Feitelberg

Monday night’s game between the San Jose Sharks (7-11-3) and the Ottawa Senators (6-11-1), was a matchup of two teams struggling to get something going this season. The Senators entered the game with a record of six wins, ten losses, and one tie, good for 12 points. They found themselves in last place in the Atlantic conference. The Sharks’ record before Monday’s game was six wins, 11 losses, and three ties. The Sharks’ 15 points landed them in seventh place in the Pacific conference.

Sharks’ coach Dan Quinn was not happy with his team’s performance last Saturday night when they lost 2-1 to the visiting New York Rangers. Quinn wanted his team to be more physical Monday night. Quinn was hoping the Sharks could find a way to win, as they had won just once at home in 11 games. They didn’t do well in the first period, but they dominated the next two periods to get the win. The Sharks made Quinn’s wish come true as they played one of their best games to beat the Senators 5-1.

The Senators dominated play in the first period. They had 13 shots on goal, and the Sharks had three—however, shots on goal don’t count. The Sharks’ Noah Gregor had a breakaway, but the shot hit the bar on the top of the goal and went into the corner.

The Sharks found a way to get the puck back to Gregor. Gregor’s wrist shot beat Ottawa’s veteran goalie, Cam Talbot, for the tally. Gregor’s shot went over Talbot’s left shoulder. The time of goal happened with 13:38 left in the period. It was Gregor’s first goal of the year. Luke Kunin and Matt Benning assisted. The Senators evened the score with 6:46 left. Tim Stutzle beat Kaapo Kahkonen for the tally. Brady Tkachuk recorded the assist. Stutzle recorded his seventh goal of the season.

The Sharks went on a power play late in the period. The Senators were able to kill the penalty. The referees called Kevin LaBanc for tripping with 1:52 left in the period. The Senators failed to score but have eight seconds left when the second period starts. The score is tied 1-1.

The Sharks thoroughly outskated the Senators in the second period. The Sharks scored three times to end the second stanza leading 4-1. San Jose had 19 shots on goal and held the Senators to eight. Timo Meier tallied with just 1:!8 played. Meier’s scored two seconds after Talbot blocked his last shot. Eric Karlsson found Meier to Talbot’s right. Meier had the smallest of cracks on the left side of the goal. His wrist shot found the opening to put the Sharks ahead 2-1.

San Jose scored their third of the night 3:35 later. Matt Nieto tipped Matt Bennings’ wrister from the point for the score. Nieto’s goal was his fourth of the season. Benning and Alexander Barabanov assisted. The Senators’ coach, D.J. Smith, replaced Cam Talbot in goal with Alex Forsberg.

Talbot allowed three goals on seven shots. With 5:59 left in the period, the Senators’ Travis Hamonic went to the penalty box for two minutes for tripping. The Sharks capitalized with just six seconds left on the power play. Tomas Hertl tipped in his fifth goal of the year to make it 4-1. Logan Couture and Eric Karlsson assisted on the goal. Sharks’ coach Dan Quinn saw his team play one of the best periods of play this season.

Ottawa knew they had to get some goals to get back in the game. The Sharks’ defense, along with Khakonen, had other thoughts. The Sharks held the Senators scoreless over the last 20 minutes of the game. With about three minutes left, the Senators pulled their goalie. They controlled the play, but the defense and the Sharks’ goalie did not fold. With 58 seconds left, Logan Couture sent the puck the length of the ice into the Senators’ goal to make it 5-1. The game was over.

Game Notes: The Sharks had Kaapo Kahkonen make his sixth start of the year. Kahkonen’s record was one win, four losses, and one tie before tonight’s win. Kahkonen was a force in goal as he made 37 saves. Eric Karlsson, the Sharks’ outstanding defenseman, assisted on two goals. Karlsson tallied 19 points this month and has 30 for the season. He trails the NHL scoring leader, Conor McDavid, by five points. 

Gregor, Timo Meier, Matt Nieto, Tomas Hertl, and Logan Couture scored for San Jose. Couture also had an assist.

Tim Stutzle scored Ottawa’s only goal. Brady Tkachuk assisted. Brady Tkachuk’s father is a former NHL great, Keith Tkachuk.

The Sharks scored one for three on the power play. The Sharks killed both of Ottawa’s power plays.

There was a fight in the second period between the Sharks’ Nick Cicek and Ottawa’s Mark Kastellic. Kastellic’s shoulder hit Cicek in the head. Tempers flared, and after a relatively short battle, both players were penalized five minutes for fighting.

The Sharks are on their way to Seattle to face the Kraken Wednesday night. San Jose returns home to play the Los Angeles Kings Friday night at the SAP center.

San Francisco 49ers podcast with Marko Ukalovic: Will Mayor’s office payback 49ers for what some called a dirty campaign?

On the San Francisco 49ers podcast with Marko:

#1 San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York paid millions to deliver mayoral candidate Anthony Becker who ended up losing to current Lisa Gillmor 14,376 to Anthony Becker 13,686. Gillmor wins by 687. How concerned has Jed have to be knowing that there was heavy campaigning against Gillmor sometimes some mudslinging and the 49ers could see payback from what some people called a nasty campaign.

#2 The election was Tue Nov 8th and in a tight race with over 95% of the ballot counted Gillmor was the decided winner on Wed Nov 16th from the Register of voters office in Santa Clara County. This was a crucial vote for York and the 49ers as York had been butting heads with Gillmor since Gillmor had been mayor and now they will have to try and do business another four years into her second term.

#3 Gillmor had sought maintenance revenue from the 49ers something both sides had haggled with over the years and when the opportunity came to vote Gillmor out of office York spent over $4 million in campaign money to get her voted out of office which the 49ers failed to do but by a narrow margin.

#4 Turning the 49ers next game up the team had been in Colorado Springs all week adjusting to the high elevation climate in preparation for tonight’s Monday Night Football game in Mexico City against the Arizona Cardinals. How beneficial do you see working out in Colorado and going onto Mexico City for Monday Night Football?

#5 Marko, how ready is Cardinal quarterback Kyler Murray he had been out with a hamstring and is expected to start on Sunday. He can be potent and drive the offense against the 49ers not to mention he can carry the ball.

Sunday night the Golden State Warriors (8-10) won their first road game of the season in Houston. Monday night the Warriors took on the New Orleans Pelicans (10-7) and added another road loss to their road record total 128-83 their ninth road loss this season.

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green sat out the game and the kids got the start. Jonathan Kuminga, Anthony Lamb, Jordan Poole, Donte DiVincenzo and veteran Kevon Looney were on the starting roster. There were only ten guys in uniform Monday and they would no doubt get a vigorous work-out against New Orleans.

It was a slow start for both teams in the first quarter. The slow start for New Orleans got going after the opening minutes and at the end of the quarter the Pelicans had a significant lead 35-16.

By halftime, the Pelicans had a healthy 65-41 lead. The Warriors had committed a lot of turnovers and were simply outplayed by New Orleans in the first half. Jordan Poole was having a great game with 20 points in the first two quarters. The Warriors had a real uphill battle in the second half against the full strength Pelicans.

The Warriors had a struggle trying to contain the Pelicans who welcomed back Zion Williamson tonight after he had missed the last three games. New Orleans has a terrific offense and a pretty decent defense as the Warriors found out early. The Warriors had trouble shooting threes’’s going 6 of 28 through three quarters. The Pelicans led after three 97-65 and it had been all New Orleans all night.

The Warriors were getting trounced in this game but got some great experience. They were trailing 116-76 with 6:00 left on the clock. The lose Warriors in a blow-out.

There were some bright spots for the Warriors in the game. The high score was Poole with 26 points. Kuminga had 18 points. They did struggle from downtown going 10 of 43. This was just more invaluable experience for these young guys.

The Pelicans were cruising from the start of the game. Brandon Ingram finished with the high score 34 points. CJ McCollum had 15 points. Jonas Valanciunas was great defensively with 13 rebounds. New Orleans was shooting 54% in the game.

The Warriors will play the Clippers Wednesday night at Chase Center. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:00 PM.

San Jose Sharks podcast with Chiranbir Mahal: After winning 3 straight and dropping their last two which is the real Sharks?

On the San Jose Sharks podcast with Chiranbir Mahal:

#1 Chiranbir, Who are these guys in teal are they the team who have lost their last two games or the team that won three in a row before these last two loses?

#2 The San Jose Sharks (6-11-3) on offense have been getting plenty of good offensive help by Timo Meier, Thomas Hertl, and Erik Karlsson but no matter they’ve been a question mark in past game in the third period, overtime or even in the shootout?

#3 That last game on Saturday night they battled with the New York Rangers (9-6-4) in a game that went right down to the third period once again. The Sharks scored a goal that they would hope that would stand up but all for not as the Rangers answered right back with two goals for the 2-1 win.

#4 Chiranbir, talk about goaltender James Reimer the Sharks count on him so much and the last game against the Rangers was no exception he allowed only one goal the other Ranger goal was an empty netter. Reimer faced 42 shots and stopped 41. Try as hard as you can that was an extraordinary effort by Reimer on Saturday night.
