Comment on Villar, Yelich homer in Brewers' 8-3 win over Cardinals

Jared Bednar spent most of his hockey career trading punches with some of the meanest, toughest players in whatever league he was playing in.

Bednar, when he is not a Stanley Cup-winning coach of the Colorado Avalanche, is a man of the woods.

It’s never wise to ponder what-ifs. But when you have three straight brutal weeks at work the way Javonte Williams did, it’s hard to avoid diving deep into those intrusive thoughts. Williams, who thought a strong training camp would translate into an encouraging start to the regular season, was frustrated after he totaled five carries for 12 yards and a fumble in Week 3’s victory at Tampa Bay.

The scrimmage had already featured a handful of controversial calls and no-calls. DeAndre Jordan wasn’t happy with one out-of-bounds ruling. Nuggets assistant coach David Adelman could barely contain his laughter when a foul was called immediately as his team established a trap in the backcourt. Julian Strawther was appalled when Nikola Jokic seemingly got whacked on the arm but wasn’t rewarded with a free throw to accompany a layup. This was all in the final five minutes of a close game between two halves of the Nuggets’ roster Monday on the main court at Ball Arena.
