But Trump was never going to sit by and watch his strongman’s aura erode. Trump ousted Venezuela’s dictator Nicolás Maduro and plans to personally manage the country’s oil reserves as he seeks to dominate the Western Hemisphere. He has demanded ownership of

Kane cementing legacy as American great on verge of breaking Modano record

Housley knew Kane well, however. He had been an assistant for the United States at the 2007 IIHF World Junior Championship, when Kane tied for the tournament lead with five goals and helped the U.S. win bronze. “It was like, ‘Oh, they picked Patrick Kane,’” Housley said with a chuckle. “‘Really good choice.’” Now 37 and playing for the Detroit Red Wings, Kane needs four points to pass Modano.

Can Dillon Brooks break NBA record for technical fouls?

Jan. 14, 2026, 12:51 a.m. ET Phoenix Suns guard Dillon Brooks picked up his league-leading 14th technical foul of the season on Tuesday, Jan. 13, and two more will lead to an automatic one-game suspension.

Yet Brooks must accelerate his pace to set the single-season technical fouls record.
