BERLIN (AP) — Defenders fired Bayern Munich three points clear at the top of the Bundesliga on Saturday with a 5-3 rout of Augsburg in their Bavarian derby.João Cancelo opened the scoring and Benjamin Pavard grabbed two goals before Alphonso Davies continued the trend of defenders scoring with Bayern’s fifth goal in the 74th.Leroy Sané also scored for the 10-time defending champions to increase the pressure on Borussia Dortmund ahead of the late game.

Jim Whitesell is out as the University at Buffalo men’s basketball coach after his first losing season in four years on the job, the school announced Saturday.“We felt it was necessary to make a change in leadership of our men’s basketball program,” athletic director Mark Alnutt said in a statement.Whitesell was under contract through the 2024-25 season and is due to receive a $500,000 buyout under terms of his deal for being fired before April 5.The move comes two days after the sixth-seeded Bulls (15-17) were routed 101-77 by third-seeded Akron in the quarterfinal round of the Mid-American Conference Tournament. It marked the Bulls’ third quarterfinal loss under Whitesell.He finished with a 70-59 record at Buffalo and led the team to one postseason appearance, a 2021 NIT berth, which ended with a first-round loss to Colorado State.The lack of postseason success coupled with a drop-off in recruiting were considered disappointments for a school that had established itself as a...Real Madrid beats Espanyol 3-1, eyes Liverpool, ‘clasico’

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Adam Svensson hit a shot onto a hospitality tent and made birdie Saturday morning to build a two-shot lead in The Players Championship. Rory McIlroy dug a hole he could not escape and missed his first cut since August.The Players finally finished its second round after storms moved in late Friday and shut down play with half the field unable to finish.Svensson’s worst shot turned into a birdie when he received a free drop from the tent and a cart path and hit a delicate pitch to 4 feet for birdie on the par-5 ninth. That gave him a 67 and a two-shot lead over Masters champion Scottie Scheffler.Scheffler took his time, and for good reason. He was playing with McIlroy as a twosome because world No. 1 Jon Rahm withdrew before the second round because of a stomach bug.There was a lot of waiting, and Scheffler did what was needed. He had a pair of two-putt birdies on the par 5s on the back nine at the TPC Sawgrass, made sure he found land on the islan...THE PLAYERS Championship Par Scores

A couple had a domestic dispute outside of a residence in Lauderhill, Fla., during which the man climbed up onto the hood of her Mercedes to keep her from departing. Despite this, she drove nearly 20 miles on the interstate, with him clinging to the hood, at speeds of up to 70 mph. At one point he called 911 on his cell phone, telling a police operator, “I’m on top of the car. I really need help.”AND HOW DID THAT WORK OUT, MA’AM?: A woman told police that she had set fire to her apartment building in Sandy, Utah, because she wanted “to burn away the negative energy, sadness and pain in her life.”SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD DEAL, WHAT’S THE CATCH?: A woman rented a 2022 Toyota Camry in Humble, Texas, and tried to sell it online for $10,000.BUT LADIES, I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL: A man had what police called an “entertaining” evening at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Fla., with two busty ladies, which ended when he took them back to his townhouse in Pompano Beach.

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 04:43:04 GMT
Tua Tagovailoa can’t be the Miami Dolphins starting quarterback in 2023.Whether it’s ‘Tampering Tom’ Brady or Lamar Jackson, rules-breaking Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has to go all-in on a star QB to maximize one of the NFL’s best receiving corps led by Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.Especially if the Jets acquire Aaron Rodgers from the Packers, are the Dolphins really going to keep the injury-prone Tagovailoa in place as their starter, sign a mid-level veteran backup and simply cross their fingers?“You can’t count on Tua,” one league source said, citing the QB’s concussions among other durability issues.The Dolphins picked up Tagovailoa’s $23 million fifth-year option for 2024 on Friday. But sticking with him at QB will not suffice, and it is incongruent with Ross’ rabid recent pursuit of an upgrade at the position.What? Ross thinks it’s worth a $1.5 million fine and a league suspension to tamper with Brady in ...Latest news
