LAS VEGAS — For most coaches, Week 1 is about shaking off the rust, seeing some young guys get their first game reps and hopefully taking care of business to start 1-0.For LSU’s Brian Kelly, on the other hand, Week 1 has become an annual existential crisis.Late Sunday night at Allegiant Stadium, Kelly fielded questions from the media following his third consecutive season-opening neutral-site loss, this one a last-second 27-20 heartbreaker to No. 23 USC. It did not take long for him to let the assembled room know how angry he was with the result.In fact, his very first words…
Follow live coverage of Day 7 at the 2024 US OpenNEW YORK — In the late afternoon sunshine Friday, spectators were forced to stand in the bleachers of a packed Court 11 at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre. Outside, more queued to get in. Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe, two superstars of American tennis, were busy slugging it out on Arthur Ashe Stadium, but a first-round, mixed-doubles match on the outside courts was the hottest ticket at the U.S. Open.This is the pull of Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas, more familiarly known as “Tsitsidosa.”Badosa and Tsitsipas, both 26,…
For all the hype this week heading into Nvidia ‘s earnings release and another important update on inflation, the stock action was pretty muted, especially given all the volatility this August: The S & P 500 closed up 0.24%, the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.92% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up 0.94%. Within the portfolio, Nvidia, Salesforce, and Best Buy all reported strong quarterly results. Shares of the latter two rallied on their beats, while chipmaker Nvidia didn’t deliver quite enough to jump over the loftiest of expectations. The stock is a victim of its own success. Despite the…
NEW YORK — For Coco Gauff, the biggest star in American tennis who took full ownership of the U.S. Open last year, a triumphant sequel just wasn’t on the cards.Playing with all the flashes of brilliance, defiance and frustrating instability that have characterized her tennis all summer, Gauff fell Sunday afternoon to her compatriot Emma Navarro in three sets, ending her Grand Slam season without fulfilling her hopes of following up last year’s magical run with another trip to the winner’s circle.For the second consecutive time in a major tournament, Navarro, Gauff’s Olympic teammate, used her increasingly dangerous combination of…
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday pushed back against a new wave of pressure to reach a cease-fire deal in Gaza after hundreds of thousands of Israelis protested and went on strike and U.S. President Joe Biden said he needed to do more after nearly 11 months of fighting.In his first public address since Sunday’s mass protests showed many Israelis’ furious response to the discovery of six more dead hostages, Netanyahu said he will continue to insist on a demand that has emerged as a major sticking point in talks — continued Israeli control of the Philadelphi corridor, a…
At Premier League HQ, it wasn’t just the summer transfer window that closed on Friday evening. There was also a deadline to apply for two senior positions in the legal department as — to quote from the job spec — “the scope and complexity of the league’s financial regulations continues to evolve”.That is an understatement.This is the Premier League’s litigation era. Two of its clubs, Everton and Nottingham Forest, had points deducted last season for breaching spending limits. The league’s case against Manchester City is looming, as is Manchester City’s case against the league’s financial regulations. An investigation continues into…

EDINA, Minn. — Dropped off at the front of Tavern 23, Stephane Veilleux walks in and looks for a familiar face in one of the booths.After spotting one across the restaurant, he approaches and says, “Bring it in,” before exchanging an extremely delicate hug.“Shocking, huh?” he says.Indeed.The strong-skating, hard-hitting blue-collar forward somehow managed to avoid major injury over 10 NHL and 17 professional hockey seasons. Now, nine years after his last NHL game, he has been debilitated by an injury that has nothing to do with hockey.Since a June 19 car crash, the 42-year-old Saint-Georges, Quebec native has been in…
