Most athletes will tell you that they prefer some degree of difficulty, because if there’s no challenge, they have too much time to think over the sort of act that comes naturally to their muscle memory. For Dinamo Minsk winger Sergei Drozd here, it might’ve been that. Or it might’ve been a goddamn puck that just wouldn’t flatten out.

You might not need to use a Dremel all that often, but it’s one of those things everyone should keep in their tool box, if only for sanding wood and carving jack-o-lanterns. Today only as part of a Gold Box deal, Amazon’s discounting the Dremel 4000-6/50 to an all-time low $89 (from about $125).

It is almost impossible to believe that cycling, track and field, and swimming aren’t rife with doping. A large swath of top cyclists have tested positive for PEDs or admitted doping; track and field had state-sponsored doping programs in Eastern Germany, China, and Russia, along with hundreds of other athletes testing positive for PEDs; swimming has had fewer widespread doping scandals, but dozens of swimmers have tested positive for PEDs, and the doping suspension and reinstatement of Yulia Efimova, and the doping accusations leveled at Katinka Hosszu, were huge stories at the Olympics.

“It’s a horrible week,” Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger admitted after losing to a short-handed and off-form Manchester City team on Sunday—this just a few days after losing to an off-form Everton team in similarly depressing fashion. As expected, this season that looked like it might be The One is beginning to reveal itself to be just like all the others.

Before the Sixers’ season even started, Nerlens Noel understood that there were too many large dudes in Philly and too few good ideas about what to do with them. But because Noel has been recovering from knee surgery, it was only last Friday that the Sixers had to confront this nauseating truth head-on, as they finally played their trio of true centers in the same game. The initial results were bleak. Joel Embiid, maybe the most promising of the bunch, got awkwardly shifted to power forward to make room for Jahlil Okafor, and Noel played an uneventful eight minutes, letting let some of his dissatisfaction spill out into public view: “I mean, I’m too good to be playing eight minutes … that’s crazy, that’s crazy, that’s crazy. Need to figure that shit out. Fuck it,” he told reporters after a 100-89 loss to the Lakers.

America’s War on Marching Bands continues apace. The Rice MOB angered Baylor fans with a Title IX-themed show. The Stanford Band was suspended for the semester, which they maintain is about the school prioritizing its image over student life. And now the Columbia University Marching Band, of which I am an alum, is being told it can’t perform in the library the night before finals, as it has done every semester for over 40 years.

The Spurs retired Tim Duncan’s No. 21 last night in a muted, charming ceremony, proving that you can still celebrate a guy’s legacy even if that guy’s central myth is his complete absence of flash, ego, or pomp. That image of Duncan can sometimes feel reductive or parodic, but last night it was just nice to see it burnished by a whole a slew of anecdotes from coaches and teammates past. Fans of fundamental basketball were treated to a highlight reel of Duncan operating in the low post, demonstrating immaculate footwork, setting screens, pulling Fabricio Oberto up off the floor, adjusting his jersey in the locker room, embracing teammates, embracing trophies, and embracing basketballs. It was a fine sendoff for Timmy, who came across as nothing short of a perfectly moral being and basketball automaton.

It’s funny to think of a fighting game having responsibilities, but that’s exactly where Street Fighter V found itself on the verge of its mid-February release date earlier this year. As the follow-up to what was arguably the genre’s most important release in decades, there was a lot riding on Street Fighter V’s success. Would it be able to maintain the fighting game community’s massive growth over the past seven years, while also providing a worthwhile platform for hardcore competitors?

The Houston Texans are 8-6, but trust me—it has been a slog. By far the most exciting moment of the season came yesterday afternoon, when head coach Bill O’Brien yanked QB Brock Osweiler from the game after his second pick, and the crowd roared its approval.

The Giants are sitting pretty for a playoff spot after their 17-6 win over the Lions, a victory capped off by another highlight-reel touchdown catch by Odell Beckham Jr. This one-handed grab wasn’t on the level of his snag against the Cowboys two years ago, but the degree of difficulty was upped by the fact that he used his left hand. Beckham’s a righty.

Sound the beef alarm! Because we’ve got some quality, long-simmering, slow-roasting beef in the Denver locker room after their 16-3 loss to New England, which likely put to bed any playoff hopes for the defending champion Broncos. There’s no shame in losing to a team as good as New England, but this game went as so many have for the Broncos this year: excellent defense, anemic offense. And the defensive players can only take so much of it.
