all year, hitting him ferociously at every opportunity, sometimes right on the line of legality, if not past it. Indiana coach Curt Cignetti complained to ESPN's Holly Rowe about uncalled personal fouls against Miami, and he wasn't wrong, especially with regards to Jakobe Thomas's potential targeting hit on Mendoza in the first quarter; the Miami-raised QB was bleeding from the lip after Thomas's helmet smashed into his face, but, as was the case most of the night, the flags stayed in the referees' pockets.

"I think there's probably a level of frustration when you're turning the ball over and you're feeling like you're getting fouled," Redick said. "There's frustration there, for sure. But I mean, again, I said it even here, we said it this morning: They're going to foul every possession. It's just, you got to play through it."

Caps-Cats games are rarely dull, and tonight's game was no exception...although perhaps this one had a bit too much action, and not of the good kind, in a penalty-filled affair that ultimately went the wrong way for the good guys. Plus: Two goals for Tom Wilson tonight, you absolutely love to see it.

"It felt like they had one foul with 5 minutes to go in the second quarter. And I just felt like both teams were playing so hard, extremely hard, physical," Adelman said. "I give the Rockets so much credit, they crashed the glass every time. And then we get two somewhat soft fouls on our best player -- which leads to him fouling twice that are fouls and that (makes) four fouls and he's got to come out of the game."

While the Celtics continue to improve as the season goes on, Minott believes there's one area in the NBA that hasn't been improving, officiating. "I could list them off, there's a lot," Minott told reporters before Thursday's game, referring to missed calls by referees on him this season. "I could make you a mixtape of all the times."

The veteran New York Islanders winger tore the ACL in his left knee during New York's game against the Philadelphia Flyers, stuck with the play while limping to the bench, stole the puck from Flyers defenseman Emil Andrae, and helped set up a goal from Emil Heineman before departing the ice. Palmieri's incredibly gutsy play came with 14:38 remaining in the second period.

There was nothing whatsoever in this regard from the Catalans to get excited about on the night. The lacklustre showing was due in part to Chelsea's energy, intensity, physicality and tempo throughout; however, that shouldn't even be a talking point from Barca's point of view. Players were routinely bullied off the ball, consistently threw up their arms when not getting every decision, and were more often than not second-best to the ball.

Now instead of questions regarding results on home ice, they can now shift to other matters on the team in the day-to-day operation. Vincent Trocheck was missed way more than many of us could have imagined. His line with Alexis Lafreniere and Artemi Panarin had an absolutely stellar hockey game. These nights have not been prevalent this season, and hopefully with the new blood in Gabe Perreault joining Trocheck in the lineup may the team now go on a run?

In the end, we were not talking about the football, players, or implications on the title race, as Arsenal vs. Chelsea ended in a 1-1 draw on Saturday afternoon. Despite it being arguably the biggest clash of the Women's Super League (WSL) season, between two of the top teams (the reigning domestic champions and reigning European champions), we were instead left talking about some dreadful officiating decisions that completely overshadowed what should have been a massive high-stakes clash.

Some critical penalties,

The SEC does not comment on personnel matters,

Lost among the shocking upset pulled off by the New York Giants on Sunday was the final nail being driven into the coffin of the Tush Push. Its death has been long overdue. Honestly, the play should have been outlawed the week after it first appeared. Over the last offseason, the Green Bay Packers did their level best to kill it. Too many owners were incomprehensibly stupid at the league meeting and failed to vote to ban the play.

She was 14, working a youth game in Southwest Florida, when she awarded a throw-in. As the team which lost possession protested vehemently, an opposing player stepped into the scrum and sheepishly confessed to touching the ball last. "I'm like, 'OK, well thanks for admitting that. I guess we'll throw it the other way, right?'" said Unkel who, as an attorney in addition to being an official, knows the value of a confession.

Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve has been suspended one game due to her "conduct and comments" during and after her team's loss to the Phoenix Mercury in Game 3 of their playoff series, the WNBA announced Saturday. Reeve will serve the suspension during Sunday's Game 4 in Phoenix. The Minnesota coach was ejected in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter of Game 3 after berating an official for not calling a foul on a play that left Lynx star Napheesa Collier injured.

We believe we have one of the best officiating programs in college football,

If the Aces are shooting 16% in the fourth quarter and then they're getting five more free throws, that's very convenient. We got to be consistent.

The moment occurred in the 59th minute of Australia's match against Fiji, where a minor officiating misjudgment disrupted what should have been a crucial try for Fiji.
