In the NFL, Rams pass rusher Jared Verse is talking confidence, and he has every right to.

That kind of trust between defenders is what builds elite defenses, and the Rams are banking on it.
Over in the NHL, the Stanley Cup Final shifts to Game Two tonight as the Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights get back at it. Carolina took the opener and Vegas needs a response on home ice. This series has the makings of a real heavyweight fight, and tonight's game could set the tone for everything that follows.
And across the Atlantic, Liverpool's next era is officially in motion. Andoni Iraola touched down at John Lennon Airport Thursday morning, and the forty three year old Spaniard is expected to be confirmed as the club's new head coach shortly.

That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
