Joe Flanigan, star on TV shows like Stargate: Atlantis and Fringe tweeted on Saturday that he “just signed on to do the new Ao4 video game for Electronic Arts.” Flangian also refered to the rumored Army of Four as a Battlefield spin off, though he later said that he was mistaken.

Leino managed it 10 times during three seasons in a Sabres uniform; none of those came after March 2013. Naturally, they bought him out during the offseason — halfway through a $27 million deal — and he landed with Medvescak of the KHL. Just as naturally, he scored on Monday. It was his first goal in 569 days. So he’s finding the net, and Buffalo is in the middle of a rebuild that should land them a pretty good shot at drafing Connor McDavid....

After Bumgarner threw out Puig following a semi-check-swing dribbler up the first base line, Bumgarner told Puig he was not allowed to look in his direction, for some reason. Puig took exception, asking “Watchu gonna do to me?” Then came the dust-up, which … wait … let’s just let Vin Scully explain it all.

Los Blancos have a deal in place which will eventually bring the 17-year-old forward onto their books from Flamengo.
