Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:34:55 GMT

The NHL and Diamond Sports Group, the largest owner of regional sports networks, have reached an agreement that will keep local broadcasts for 11 teams on Bally Sports through the end of this season.The agreement, which was contained in a court filing made Wednesday, is subject to court approval.

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Raiders interim coach Antonio Pierce called it the “less is more” approach that defensive coordinator Patrick Graham has adopted this season, and so far it’s working.A year after Las Vegas had one of the NFL’s weakest defenses, the Raiders now are more of an asset than a liability, more of a reason why some games are won rather than lost.Players say Graham is a big reason for that turnaround.“He’s letting us play,” cornerback Amik Robertson said. “He’s confident in the plays he’s calling because he’s confident in the players. He’s letting us be us and he’s letting it loose. I think last season he was kind overthinking, but that was our first year with him. “So now he’s more comfortable with his guys, and as you can see, he’s calling some great plays and putting his playmakers in position to make plays.”The Raiders are tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for ninth in the NFL in scoring defense, all...
