Several Other Odds and Sods for Groundhog Day 2016

• Reports are Johnny Manziel is finally done in Cleveland.  Let's hope that's the end of a completely-unearned NFL career.
• Broncos practice-squad player Ryan Murphy has been expelled from the Super Bowl by the team for being questioned regarding a prostitution sting near the stadium in which the game will be played.  The coach states he remains on the practice squad, however, especially because his brother, not he, was cited.
• Tragedy tonight in college basketball.  Jibri Bryan of Mercer University shot and killed tonight in a store parking lot.  He was 23.  (One commenter to the Deadspin piece notes that Chicago had 51 murders in January of 2016, 48 of them gun-related.)
• In what cannot be seen as good news for Dennis Wideman, the discipline hearing in New York ended Monday with no decision on punishment, and there may be no decision on Tuesday either, when Calgary retakes the ice...  According to Chris Johnston of SportsNet, the hearing took over 90 minutes.  There was word a possible work stoppage/game tampering by the NHL Officials Association might come if the league did not hit Wideman with a huge suspension (one Tweet said the minimum they might accept is 10 games).
• ... to which those of us (including myself!) who have ordered the out-of-market Internet package wish to see that game and others.  The NHL launched their new NHL.tv app, website, and update to their out-of-market Internet package.  Too bad, shortly before the end of the Eastern games, the stress of the new service (60 frames per second, new $2.99/month option for the last five minutes and any overtime or shootout of any out-of-market game, etc.) caused the entire situation to crash.  Many bitched on Twitter -- it's a Day One thing, let's see what they do with it.
