In Dallas, Stephen Jones went on the record Monday making one thing crystal clear — Brian Schottenheimer has the full backing of Cowboys ownership. After a rocky start to his head coaching tenure, that kind of public vote of confidence from the front office carries real weight heading into what promises to be a defining stretch for this franchise.
Shifting to college hoops, Kentucky basketball is quietly approaching a milestone no program in the country has ever touched. The Wildcats check in at number twenty three in the preseason AP poll and sit at nine hundred ninety eight all-time appearances in the weekly rankings. Two more showings and Kentucky becomes the first program in history to hit one thousand. That is a number that speaks for itself.
And on the ice, a feel-good moment out of Philadelphia — Cole Knuble made his NHL debut with the Flyers, the very team his father Mike suited up for during his playing days. Growing up in the building your dad once called home and then stepping onto that same ice yourself, that is a story that transcends the box score.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
