NHL: Fans And Former Teammates Pay Tribute To Jean Beliveau
By Midnight Man, in Sports,
The casket lay between two giant posters of Beliveau in his prime as an imposing center on the powerhouse Canadiens teams of the 1950s and 1960s. Also on display were the Stanley Cup and three other trophies he won -- Hart (MVP), Lady Byng (sportsmanship) and Conn Smythe (playoff MVP). Fans began lining up in the early morning in frigid weather for the public viewing, the first for a Canadiens player since Maurice "Rocket" Richard died in 2000. Many were dressed in the Canadiens' red, white and blue jersey. "It was wonderful," said former teammate Dickie Moore, who visited Beliveau often during his illness. "I think Jean would love to stand up and say thank you." Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard recalled getting the autographs of Beliveau and other Canadiens when he was a teenager. "To me he summarizes elegance, confidence, and the image of what we would like ourselves to be," Couillard said. Asked what he felt Beliveau's life represented, Couillard said "confidence."
"It was at a time when Francophone Quebecers in particular needed much more confidence in themselves and I think he was one of the elements that created that confidence," he said. "For this, we are immensely grateful. He was not only a great athlete and player, he was a great man, a great Quebecer and a great Canadian." Beliveau won 10 Stanley Cups as a player with the Canadiens from 1950 to 1971 and another seven as an executive. In 1,125 regular-season games, he had 507 goals and 712 assists. He is best remembered as an iconic team captain, and for his grace off the ice. It was a difficult week for the Canadiens, who had lost speedy left wing Gilles Tremblay to an illness only days before Beliveau died. Yvan Cournoyer played on a line with Beliveau and Tremblay, and Beliveau was his first captain with the Canadiens. "I always called him not Jean, but my captain," he said. "I had a chance to win my first Stanley Cup with Jean. I had a chance to dress beside him and I roomed a lot with Jean. For me, he was like a father. He called me his son many times."

NHL: Paul MacLean Fired By The Ottawa Senators
By Midnight Man, in Sports,
General manager Bryan Murray, speaking at a news conference Monday at Canadian Tire Centre, said Cameron, a favorite of owner Eugene Melnyk, will succeed MacLean. "I've had some tough days lately," said Murray, who is undergoing cancer treatment. "This is one of them." Murray said there was”uneasiness" in the locker room with MacLean. "Some of the better players felt that they were singled out a little too often maybe," Murray said. "That's today's athlete. They want to be corrected, coached, given a chance to play without being the center point of discussion in the room."
MacLean, who previously worked as an assistant to Mike Babcock in Anaheim and Detroit, won the Jack Adams Award in the 2012-13 lockout-shortened season, when he led an injury-ravaged Senators team to the postseason despite long odds. Defensive tactics by MacLean, who was in the first season of a three-year deal, allowed opponents easier entry into the defensive zone, leading to games in which the Senators were often outshot.

MLB: Athletics Trade Brandon Moss To The Indians
By Midnight Man, in Sports,
On Oct. 21, Moss underwent an operation on his hip. Moss said Dr. Thomas Byrd was prepared to perform microfracture surgery but all that he needed was a labrum repair and cartilage cleanup, which should make his rehab somewhat easier. Moss said his rehab is coming along well and he expects to be cleared to run later this month. The chance to join the Indians, who contended for a playoff spot until the season's final weekend, excited Moss. He said the club is similar to some of the Oakland teams he has played for.
"There's a great core group of guys, and in all honesty, it reminds me of after 2012, when they brought us all up and we all kind of took off," he said. "That next year in 2013, we had that core group of guys and the young pitching staff and we won the division by a pretty good margin. It reminds me of a team like that. It's a team with a lot of talent and a lot of capability, and it's going to be exciting to be a part of it." Despite the hip issue, Moss, who also has played for Boston, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, finished among the American League leaders in homers, RBIs, extra-base hits and slugging percentage. He played 67 games at first base, 56 in left field and 34 in right for the wild-card winning A's.
"One of the things that attracted us to Brandon is he's got the versatility to play either corner spot in the outfield and first base," Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said at the winter meetings in San Diego. Acquring Moss to solidfy the middle of the order could mean decreased playing time for David Murphy and Nick Swisher, who hit .208 with eight homers in a season cut short at 97 games because of injuries. The switch-hitter had surgery on both knees in August. With two more years on a four-year, $56 million contract, moving Swisher in a deal likely would be difficult.

NFL: Arizona Cardinals Sign Chris Clemons
By Midnight Man, in Sports,
"Chris is a big, active safety Todd has had in the past," Arians said. "He is aware of our system and we'll plug him in and see what we can get out of him in two walkthrough days and see if he can play Thursday night." Clemons hasn't played since last season, his last in Miami. During his first five years, all with the Dolphins, Clemons played in 72 career games -- 48 of them starts -- he had 256 tackles, 1.5 sacks, four interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He started his final 32 games in Miami, recording 185 tackles -- 90 in 2013 and 95 in 2012 -- and three interceptions.
He was cut by the Houston Texans on Aug. 31, five months after he signed a two-year contract worth $2.7 million with $450,000 guaranteed. The Cardinals have allowed opposing quarterbacks to throw for 264 yards or more the last two games after holding them to less than 200 in five of their previous six games.
