QB White gives Jets’ offense needed jolt in romp

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- On Saturday night, in a final piece of advice to his new starting quarterback, New York Jets coach Robert Saleh told Mike White to be himself and not to worry about doing something extraordinary in his season debut."We didn't need to turn into The Greatest Show on Turf," Saleh told reporters Sunday.As it turned out, White delivered a performance worthy of the turn-of-the-century St. Louis Rams, passing for three touchdowns and 315 yards in the Jets' 31-10 victory over the Chicago Bears in a steady rain at MetLife Stadium.Replacing the demoted Zach Wilson, who watched from the sideline as the third/inactive quarterback, White completed his first five attempts and never lost his rhythm. He parted the raindrops, completing 22 of 28 passes and connecting with 10 dif...

Trump faulted for dinner with white nationalist, rapper Ye

NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump is renewing attention to his long history of turning a blind eye to bigotry after dining with a Holocaust-denying white nationalist and the rapper formerly known as Kanye West just days into his third campaign for the White House.Trump had dinner Tuesday at his Mar-a-Lago club with West, who is now known as Ye, as well as Nick Fuentes, a far-right activist who has used his online platform to spew antisemitic and white nationalist rhetoric.Ye, who says he, too, is running for president in 2024, has made his own series of antisemitic comments in recent weeks, leading to his suspension from social media platforms, his talent agency dropping him and companies like Adidas cutting ties with him. The sportswear manufacturer has also launched an inv...

Moreover, 25 of the past 50 matchups between these rivals have been decided by single-digit points.This year’s version of The Game has all the making of another instant classic, as it is the firs...

Jury deliberations begin in January 6 sedition trial of Oath Keepers founder

As angry supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol, ready to smash through windows and beat police officers, Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes extolled them as patriots and harked back to the battle that kicked off the American revolutionary war.“Next comes our Lexington,” Rhodes told his fellow far-right extremists in a message on 6 January 2021. “It’s coming.”Jurors will begin weighing his words and actions on Tuesday, after nearly two months of testimony and argument in the criminal trial of Rhodes and four codefendants.

Klay Thompson catches fire for 41 points, Warriors get first road win against Houston Rockets

A handful of reasons are to blame for the Warriors’ slow start this year. Klay Thompson’s inconsistent shooting. Lackluster defense. A second unit that bleeds leads, headed by Jordan Poole’s erratic play. An 0-8 road record heading into Sunday’s game in Houston. Thompson took a significant step out of his rut. The Warriors claimed their first road win, 127-120, against a Rockets team sitting in last place in the Western Conference. Thompson had 10 3-pointers on his way to scoring 41 points. Thompson got plenty of help from Steph Curry, who took over in the second half while finishing with 33 points and 15 assists, one shy of matching his career high. Andrew Wiggins finished with 22 points, including six 3-pointers. “Long overdue, but we’re happy to get the win and did a lot of good thi...

Practice makes perfect: TCU survives on late FG

WACO, Texas -- Fourth-ranked TCU had players shuffling on and off the field as the final seconds were ticking off the clock. Kicker Griffin Kell was the last one to get into place."That looked like chaos, but we practice it every Thursday exactly like that," Frogs coach Sonny Dykes said.And the Horned Frogs executed it perfectly to stay undefeated in what was no practice situation.Kell kicked a 40-yard field goal on the game's final play, and TCU beat Baylor 29-28 on Saturday, scoring nine points in the final 2:07 to avoid another potential playoff-busting loss on the banks of the Brazos River.Emari Demercado scored on a 3-yard TD run to cap a 90-yard drive with 2:07 left to get the Frogs (11-0, 8-0 Big 12) within 28-26, but he was unable to pull in a pass on the 2-point conversion atte...

Opinion | The new Trump probe special counsel should move quickly

Comment on this storyCommentAttorney General Merrick Garland on Friday named a special counsel to oversee the criminal investigation into former president Donald Trump’s possible mishandling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago club, as well as aspects of the investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol insurrection. Mr. Garland explained that Mr. Trump’s now-official presidential campaign presented “extraordinary circumstances” for which the Justice Department’s regulations prescribe the appointment of a special counsel. In other words, he had no choice but to proceed.So be it. But this means that there is more work ahead for the attorney general. Appointing a special counsel carries risks, not least the possibility that the investigation could drag out or lose focus, potenti...
