Former NHL defenseman Mike Commodore has given some advice to Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner. Marner has been the subject of trade rumors all summer long as he’s entering the final year of the six-year $65.41 million deal he signed with Toronto back in 2019.

Instead, it now appears Marner will start the year with Toronto and Commodore thinks the skilled forward should play the year out and then walk in free agency. Commodore points to what LeBron James did as he left his…

Gatlin responded ten months later with an even faster 9.766, only for Powell to reclaim the record just 30 days later with a time…

The Beatles both challenged and rewarded listeners this way, which is among the best things about…
