Kris Letang among few bright spots in loss
Few Penguins showed up in a 5-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks. Among those who did come to play was Kris Letang, Sidney Crosby and not much more beyond those two.
Letang scored a dazzling goal in the first period, walking a flat-footed Erik Karlsson and beating Martin Jones top shelf with a backhand goal for his 11th of the season and 39th point.
Vs SJ: Goal (11), 26:10 TOI, 42 CF%
Guard play has Pitt looking like a tournament caliber team
PITT 75 – 
FSU 62
Getting excited about Pitt hoops has become a thing again and it’s all about the guard play. Trey McGowens had 30 points and 7 rebounds, while Xavier Johnson had 18 points to lead Pitt (12-5) to a 75-62 win over No. 11 Florida State (13-4). With a downhill attack against a bigger FSU lineup, the likes of McGowens, Johnson were relentless in getting to the rim and the foul line. McGowens went 18-of-19 from the line. A great hire of a coach who is built to coach today’s player, combined with key difference makers at PG/SG has an inexperienced group looking like a potential tourney team.
Will Antonio Brown try to force a trade to San Fran?
Antonio Brown’s infatuation with the San Francisco 49ers continues on social media. Brown now has Jerry Rice in his corner, who says Brown wants to play for the 49ers “really badly” and has endorsed the 49ers to pursue Brown.
“He wants to come here really badly,” Rice said of Brown on 95.7 The Game.
Brown’s agent Drew Rosenhaus has no control of over Brown but what he should be trying to do with Brown is get him off social media immediately, get him wired in to put on a good face wherever he eventually gets traded and focus on having a monster 2019 season for leverage to rework his current contract after the 19 season for another massive payday.
