The TEN<\/p><\/div>\n

2\u2014Game Four of the Sabres-Canadians in Montreal tonight will run you $347 for a single seat at the Bell Centre.<\/p>\n

3\u2014The Denver Broncos announced former quarterback Craig Morton passed away on Saturday. Morton, a first round pick of the Dallas Cowboys out of Cal in 1965, was 83.<\/p>\n

4\u2014\u201cDraymond Green has four NBA championships the way Ringo Starr has 11 number one albums.\u201d\u2014Shane Gillis<\/p>\n

5\u2014Donovan Mitchell scored 43 points, 39 in the second half, to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 112-103 win over the Detroit Pistons on Monday night. The Cavs used a 24-0 run from the end of the first half into the third to take control and knot the playoff series at 2-2<\/p>\n

6\u2014\u201cI would like to announce that I have returned to 7\/11 coffee after transferring to Circle K coffee a short time ago.\u2028 I do not want to identify myself in case I decide to switch back to Circle K.\u201d\u2014MVS commenter, \u201cCoffee Star\u201d<\/p>\n

7\u2014On this date in 1956 Brooklyn Dodger pitcher Carl Erskine throws the second no hitter of his career beating the New York Giants 3-0.<\/p>\n

8\u2014\u201cTeams say they make business decisions, why can\u2019t fans make a business decision when it comes to their tickets?\u201d\u2014Dan Patrick on Philly fans selling their Game Four tickets to New York fans before the Knicks completed their sweep of the 76ers on Sunday.<\/p>\n

9\u2014The Anaheim Ducks face the Las Vegas Golden Knights tonight in Game 5 of their playoff series.<\/p>\n

10\u2014From \u201cThe Peterson Principle\u201d after LeBron James agreed to a 4yr\/$153-million deal to join the Lakers in 2018:
\n\u201cI liked what Magic Johnson did in getting LeBron James but how did he miss on Boogie Cousins? The word is he\u2019s a cancer in the locker room and nobody wants to play with him. But at 5 million bucks and one year, who cares? If he doesn\u2019t work out then don\u2019t re-sign him. No harm done. The Lakers need a center. JaVale McGee is more famous for starring on \u201cShaqtin a fool\u201d than for what he does on the court. Plus if LeBron told Cousins to shut up and play I think he would shut up and play. Let\u2019s hope Magic has the Spurs GM R.C. Buford on speed dial in an attempt to land Kawhi Leonard.\u201d\u2014The Peterson Principle (July 4, 2018)<\/p>\n
