It's Thursday, June 27th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nicaragua has shut down 250 Protestant groups Roman Catholic Churches have faced persecution in Nicaragua under the regime of Daniel Ortega. The dictator is increasingly targeting Protestant churches as well. The central American country shut down over 250 Protestant groups in recent years. Earlier this year, authorities imprisoned 11 Evangelical pastors associated with Mountain Gateway, a ministry that drew thousands to its Christ-centered events. Nicaragua is ranked 30th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian. Israeli Jews are asking for New Testaments Jews for Jesus reports more people of the Jewish faith are seeking New Testaments. The nonprofit offers the New Testament to Israelis for free. The group sent over 1,200 New Testaments to Israelis since the Muslim terrorist group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, 2023. Aaron Abramson, the Executive Director of Jews for Jesus, told The Christian Post that the terrorist attack has prompted many Israelis to have spiritual questions. He said, “Israel has prided itself in its ability to defend itself, so [the Hamas attack] was a real blow to that for people. … If you can't put your trust in … a military solution … then where do you put your trust? … And I think that's why a lot of people were starting to sort of dig into those spiritual questions.” In Romans 1:16, the Apostle Paul wrote, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Gentile.” Supreme Court okay with Biden's censorship of Facebook The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of the Biden administration yesterday in a social media case. Multiple states and social media users accused the government of pressuring media companies, like Facebook, to censor content about COVID-19 and the 2020 presidential election. Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch ruled against the Biden administration. In the dissenting opinion, Justice Alito warned, “If a coercive campaign is carried out with enough sophistication, it may get by. That is not a message this Court should send.” Vermont's crisis pregnancy centers allowed to speak the truth A federal court in Vermont is allowing pro-life pregnancy centers to continue their lawsuit against the state. The centers are challenging a state law that censors their free speech. The law only applies to pregnancy centers, which could face fines of up $10,000 if the state's attorney general believes their advertisements are misleading. Julia Payne with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “Pregnancy centers should be free to serve women and offer the support they need without fear of unjust government punishment. As our case continues, we will urge the court to support the rights of pregnancy centers that provide these critical care services.” 70% of Americans approve of homosexual faux marriage A new survey from Gallup found nearly 70% of Americans believe that faux homosexual marriage should be legal. And 64% believe that sexually perverted lifestyles are morally acceptable. However, support for these issues is plateauing and even declining slightly. This is driven by a drop in support for such lifestyles by Republicans. Forty-six percent of Republicans support such lifestyles now, down from 55% in 2021. The drop in support comes as Democrats have supported sexually perverted lifestyles for children through the schools and medical industry. Low home inventory and high interest rates drives prices higher The National Association of Realtors reports the sale of previously owned homes is down 2.8% in May, compared to last year. Existing home sales are now at a 30-year low. With low inventory and high interest rates, home prices continue to climb. The median home price in May was a record $419,300. That's up 5.8% compared to last year. If you can forgive, you'll be happier The American Bible Society released their latest data from the “State of the Bible USA 2024 Report.” The report found that people who say they are willing to forgive others were more likely to score higher in Human Flourishing which involves happiness, health, purpose, character, and relationships. The report also noted that young people who engage with Scripture score higher in Human Flourishing. Dr. John Blake, editor-in-chief of the State of the Bible series, said, “Not only do [Gen Zers] score higher on the Human Flourishing scale than other young adults who don't read the Bible — but they have the highest score of any generation.” In Proverbs 8:35, Wisdom says, “For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the LORD.” Why Virginia Worldview listener gave $200 Ginger and her husband Michael in Jonesville, Virginia gave $200 yesterday to help fund the 6-member newscast team for another fiscal year. I called her last night and asked her what she liked about The Worldview in 5 Minutes. GINGER: “I like the very clear, Christian worldview that's presented, the fact that it's just straight news, straight facts, but then you also, by the addition of Scripture and a little analysis, show how Christians should think about these things.” She was encouraged to hear one uplifting story about Tennessee. GINGER: “I really appreciated you presenting the story about the Tennessee governor and his recent signing of the call for fasting and praying for the state of Tennessee. We live near there, but actually go to church in Tennessee. So we know, have a lot of friends and it's been very exciting to ask them. ‘Did they realize that? Do they know that?' I just thought that was fantastic that you presented it because you may be the only news source that shares that.” Ginger also liked the recent human interest story I highlighted about the Katy, Texas couple who discovered a newborn baby girl on the ground who had been abandoned. GINGER: “The story about the couple that found the baby was heartbreaking in one sense, but tremendously hopeful. Life was valued and life was saved in a culture that worships death. I so appreciated that being reported as well.” Ginger urges other Worldview listeners to make a donation today to help us reach our $84,000 goal. GINGER: “If you appreciate the objective news and the Christian worldview then definitely it needs to be supported. It's such a rarity. Now, my one thing would be don't wait to the last minute like I did.” McMANUS: (laughs) “Well, it is the last minute. That's okay, as long as people get in, before the wire.” GINGER: “It is definitely a worthy cause to support Adam. I don't even realize how much work is put into the research and the gathering. There's so much out there. It's so refreshing to have a new source and a news broadcast that I can listen to. I can quickly get the gist of the news that day, but from the Christian worldview that I share. It's refreshing!” 23 Worldview listeners donated $3,105.37 And finally, toward our $84,000 final goal by 5:00pm central this Saturday, June 29th, 23 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate to help fund our 6-member team for another fiscal year. Our thanks to Rob in Annandale, Virginia, Edward in Burnt Hills, New York, Rich in Roanoke, Virginia, and Paul in Glen Allen, Virginia – each of whom gave $25. We appreciate Augustine in Auburn, California who gave $30, Samuel in Niceville, Florida who gave $37.37, Jeremy and Kristin in Cleveland, Tennessee who gave $40 as well as Colleen in Melbourne, Florida and Joshua in Hortense, Georgia – both of whom gave $50. We're grateful to God for Eli in San Diego, California who gave $58, as well as Eben in Kansas City, Missouri, Kirsten in Drake, Colorado, Corrie in Crawfordsville, Indiana, Amy in Snohomish, Washington, Leslie in Middletown, Delaware, Cory in Morrison, Colorado, and Tamar in Poplar Bluff, Missouri – each of whom gave $100.

Those 23 donors gave $3,105.37. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (sound effect of drum roll) $64,160.53 (audience cheering) We still need to raise $19,839.47 by 5:00pm Saturday, June 29th In order to hit our $84,000 goal, we still need to raise $19,839.47 in just 48 hours. I had hoped that 40 people would be inspired to make a donation yesterday, but only 23 did so. At this point, on this Thursday, we need 60 people to make either a one-time donation or a monthly pledge. I wonder if you might be one of four people to give a one-time gift of $2,000. There might even be someone who would invest $5,000 in this Christ-centered work. Could you be one of 6 Worldview listeners to pledge $100 per month for 12 months, 4 people to pledge $50 per month for 12 months, and 8 people to pledge $25/month for 12 months? Time is ticking. (sound effect of ticking clock) We need your help by 5:00pm central on Saturday, June 29th. Your support enables our 6-member newscast team to thrive. We have three writers – Kevin Swanson, Jonathan Clark, and myself, the researcher, Emily Munday, and the uploaders of the audio on multiple platforms – Rebekah Swanson and Kayla White. Were you touched by what Ginger in Jonesville, Virginia said today about what makes this newscast special?

NBA – 2023 NBA Finals – (best of seven) Tonight Miami Heat at Denver Nuggets, 8:30 p.m. (Game 1) NBA – Butler, Jokic lead Heat, Nuggets into a NBA Finals after unconventional paths Nikola Jokic wasn't supposed to be here. Neither was Jimmy Butler, for that matter. Jokic was drafted behind 40 other players in 2014. Butler was drafted behind 29 others in 2011. Jokic grew up in Serbia, not even thinking about the NBA. Butler didn't have the easiest upbringing in Texas, then went the junior-college route at the start of his journey toward the pros. And here they are. The NBA Finals. One of them is going to become a champion for the first time, with Jokic leading the Denver Nuggets and Butler leading the Miami Heat — a matchup that starts Thursday night in Denver, with the Nuggets heavily favored to win it all.

González drove him in with a double, stole third and scored when Urshela allowed catcher Chad Wallach’s throw to wind up in left field, stretching Chicago’s lead to 6-3.

The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 14.6 points and 3.3 assists in three seasons at North Carolina. He averaged 17.6 points in seven NCAA Tournament games, helping lead the Tar Heels to the 2022 national championship game. Love entered the transfer portal after leading North Carolina with 73 3-pointers as a junior and initially committed to Michigan. He decommitted from the Wolverines earlier this month, reportedly due to an admissions issue involving academic credits. NCAABB – Kentucky to house teams in dorms for regional due to hotel room shortage A shortage of hotel rooms in the Lexington area this weekend will require visiting baseball teams in the NCAA Tournament’s Lexington Regional to stay in dormitories on the Kentucky campus or in hotels more than 30 miles away. Kentucky is the No. 12 seed for the 64-team tournament and earned the right to host Ball State, Indiana and West Virginia for double-elimination play Friday through Monday. Several previously scheduled events in the Lexington area created a room shortage. Ball State and West Virginia spokesmen said their teams and staff would stay in the dorms. Indiana did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Texas second baseman Marcus Semien extended his hitting streak to a career-best 19 games with a fifth-inning single. Jonah Heim drove in four runs, Josh Jung homered and had three runs and Aroldis Garcia had four hits and three runs. Miguel Cabrera had three hits and drove in two runs for Detroit.

White Sox 7, Angels 3 – Vaughn drives in 3, González homers to help White Sox beat Angels 7-3 Andrew Vaughn drove in three runs, Romy González homered and the Chicago White Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-3.

But the White Sox turned it around in a big way, scoring five in the fourth against Tyler Anderson. Vaughn smacked a three-run double to put Chicago on top. González drove him in with a double, stole third and scored when Urshela allowed catcher Chad Wallach’s throw to wind up in left field, stretching Chicago’s lead to 6-3. González made it a four-run game with a solo homer in the sixth against Chase Silseth. Taylor Ward and Shohei Ohtani homered for Los Angeles. Cubs 2, Rays 1 – Hoerner homers, bullpen shines as Cubs beat McClanahan, Rays 2-1 Nico Hoerner homered and the Chicago Cubs made the most of a rare gaffe by Tampa Bay, handing Shane McClanahan his first loss of the season with a 2-1 victory over the Rays. The game was tied at 1 when Ian Happ led off the sixth with a shallow fly ball that dropped between Tampa Bay second baseman Brandon Lowe and right fielder Josh Lowe in a miscommunication between the fielders. After Seiya Suzuki struck out and Trey Mancini bounced to second, Mike Tauchman hit a tiebreaking RBI single into left field. That was enough for Chicago, which topped the majors’ best team for the second straight day after entering the series with a four-game losing streak.

Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Ottawa Senators, 7:00 p.m. Chicago Blackhawks at Arizona Coyotes, 9:00 p.m. NHL – Maple Leafs up ante in East by making trade with Blackhawks The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired forward Sam Lafferty and defenseman Jake McCabe from the Chicago Blackhawks. Their latest big trade comes the day after division-rival Tampa Bay paid a hefty price to acquire forward Tanner Jeannot from Nashville. Talent continues to flow to Eastern Conference contenders ahead of the NHL trade deadline Friday. In recent days, New Jersey got big winger Timo Meier from San Jose and Boston traded with Washington for Garnet Hathaway and Dmitry Orlov. Toronto sent a conditional 2025 first-round pick, a second-rounder in 2026, prospect Pavel Gogolev and forward Joey Anderson to the Blackhawks for Lafferty, McCabe and conditional fifth-round picks in 2024 and ‘25. Chicago is retaining half of McCabe’s salary. Dubas, in his fifth season as Leafs general manager, said talks with Chicago counterpart Kyle Davidson predated trades by the Lightning and Bruins, but isn’t downplaying the value of keeping up knowing how difficult the first couple of rounds will be this spring.

NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Ottawa Senators 6, Detroit Red Wings 2 Anaheim Ducks 4, Chicago Blackhawks 2 Senators 6, Red Wings 2 – Giroux has goal, 3 assists as Senators beat Red Wings 6-2 Claude Giroux scored the tiebreaking goal and had three assists, Thomas Chabot had a goal and two assists and the Ottawa Senators beat the Detroit Red Wings 6-2. Brady Tkachuk, Tim Stutzle, Drake Batherson and Jake Sanderson also scored to help Ottawa win its second straight after a two-game skid. Cam Talbot finished with 22 saves. David Perron and Tyler Bertuzzi scored goals for the Red Wings, who have lost two straight after winning seven of eight. Magnus Hellberg had 36 saves. Ducks 4, Blackhawks 2 – Ducks snap Blackhawks’ 5-game win streak with 4-2 victory Max Jones scored the go-ahead goal, Troy Terry had a goal and an assist, and the Anaheim Ducks ended the Chicago Blackhawks' five-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory on Monday night. Isac Lundestrom and Jakob Silfverberg also scored, Mason McTavish had three assists, and the Ducks won their third straight game. Lukas Dostal made 24 saves after losing his previous five starts. Tyler Johnson had a power-play goal and an assist, and Andreas Athanasiou scored for the Blackhawks, who had been on their longest run of sustained success since winning five in a row in January 2020. Petr Mrazek gave up four goals on 33 shots. Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Ottawa Senators, 7:00 p.m. Chicago Blackhawks at Arizona Coyotes, 9:00 p.m. NHL – Maple Leafs up ante in East by making trade with Blackhawks The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired forward Sam Lafferty and defenseman Jake McCabe from the Chicago Blackhawks. Their latest big trade comes the day after division-rival Tampa Bay paid a hefty price to acquire forward Tanner Jeannot from Nashville. Talent continues to flow to Eastern Conference contenders ahead of the NHL trade deadline Friday. In recent days, New Jersey got big winger Timo Meier from San Jose and Boston traded with Washington for Garnet Hathaway and Dmitry Orlov. Toronto sent a conditional 2025 first-round pick, a second-rounder in 2026, prospect Pavel Gogolev and forward Joey Anderson to the Blackhawks for Lafferty, McCabe and conditional fifth-round picks in 2024 and ‘25. Chicago is retaining half of McCabe's salary. Dubas, in his fifth season as Leafs general manager, said talks with Chicago counterpart Kyle Davidson predated trades by the Lightning and Bruins, but isn’t downplaying the value of keeping up knowing how difficult the first couple of rounds will be this spring. NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Charlotte Hornets 117, Detroit Pistons 106 Hornets 117, Pistons 106 – Ball fractures ankle in Hornets’ 117-106 win over Pistons LaMelo Ball made six 3-pointers before breaking his right ankle in the third quarter, and the Charlotte Hornets held on to beat the Detroit Pistons 117-106 for their fifth straight victory. Terry Rozier scored 22 points and Gordon Hayward had 19 points for Charlotte, which is still second-to-last in the Eastern Conference standings — ahead of only Detroit. Ball finished with 18 points. He was hurt on a non-contact play, and the Hornets announced after the game that he had fractured his right ankle. Hamidou Diallo and James Wiseman each scored 23 points for the Pistons.

The rest of the AP Top 25 was a big jumble. Houston was No. 1 for the second straight week in the poll released Monday, receiving 49 first-place votes from a 62-person media panel. No. 2 Alabama had five first-place votes and No. 3 Kansas received eight. UCLA and Purdue rounded out the top 5. The Boilermakers held at No. 5 despite losing to No. 15 Indiana. The rest of the poll, only No. 20 Providence kept the same position from last week. NCAAWBKB – 36 weeks and counting for South Carolina South Carolina is No. 1 for the 36th consecutive week. That ties Louisiana Tech for the second-longest run atop The Associated Press Top 25 women’s basketball poll in history. Only UConn with 51 weeks has a longer streak. Indiana stayed at No. 2 despite a last-second loss to Iowa. Utah was third with LSU and Maryland rounding out the top five. Iowa was seventh with Virginia Tech eighth. UConn fell five spots to ninth after losing to St. John's. Notre Dame is 10th. South Florida re-entered the Top 25 at No. 25. Florida State dropped out.

After Djokovic and Graf on the all-time No. 1 weeks list are Martina Navratilova with 332 and Serena Williams with 319. The computerized rankings began in the 1970s.

Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Ottawa Senators, 7:00 p.m. Chicago Blackhawks at Arizona Coyotes, 9:00 p.m. NHL – Maple Leafs up ante in East by making trade with Blackhawks The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired forward Sam Lafferty and defenseman Jake McCabe from the Chicago Blackhawks. Their latest big trade comes the day after division-rival Tampa Bay paid a hefty price to acquire forward Tanner Jeannot from Nashville. Talent continues to flow to Eastern Conference contenders ahead of the NHL trade deadline Friday. In recent days, New Jersey got big winger Timo Meier from San Jose and Boston traded with Washington for Garnet Hathaway and Dmitry Orlov. Toronto sent a conditional 2025 first-round pick, a second-rounder in 2026, prospect Pavel Gogolev and forward Joey Anderson to the Blackhawks for Lafferty, McCabe and conditional fifth-round picks in 2024 and ‘25. Chicago is retaining half of McCabe's salary. Dubas, in his fifth season as Leafs general manager, said talks with Chicago counterpart Kyle Davidson predated trades by the Lightning and Bruins, but isn’t downplaying the value of keeping up knowing how difficult the first couple of rounds will be this spring.

NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Ottawa Senators 6, Detroit Red Wings 2 Anaheim Ducks 4, Chicago Blackhawks 2 Senators 6, Red Wings 2 – Giroux has goal, 3 assists as Senators beat Red Wings 6-2 Claude Giroux scored the tiebreaking goal and had three assists, Thomas Chabot had a goal and two assists and the Ottawa Senators beat the Detroit Red Wings 6-2. Brady Tkachuk, Tim Stutzle, Drake Batherson and Jake Sanderson also scored to help Ottawa win its second straight after a two-game skid. Cam Talbot finished with 22 saves. David Perron and Tyler Bertuzzi scored goals for the Red Wings, who have lost two straight after winning seven of eight. Magnus Hellberg had 36 saves. Ducks 4, Blackhawks 2 – Ducks snap Blackhawks’ 5-game win streak with 4-2 victory Max Jones scored the go-ahead goal, Troy Terry had a goal and an assist, and the Anaheim Ducks ended the Chicago Blackhawks’ five-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory on Monday night. Isac Lundestrom and Jakob Silfverberg also scored, Mason McTavish had three assists, and the Ducks won their third straight game. Lukas Dostal made 24 saves after losing his previous five starts. Tyler Johnson had a power-play goal and an assist, and Andreas Athanasiou scored for the Blackhawks, who had been on their longest run of sustained success since winning five in a row in January 2020. Petr Mrazek gave up four goals on 33 shots. Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Ottawa Senators, 7:00 p.m. Chicago Blackhawks at Arizona Coyotes, 9:00 p.m. NHL – Maple Leafs up ante in East by making trade with Blackhawks The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired forward Sam Lafferty and defenseman Jake McCabe from the Chicago Blackhawks. Their latest big trade comes the day after division-rival Tampa Bay paid a hefty price to acquire forward Tanner Jeannot from Nashville. Talent continues to flow to Eastern Conference contenders ahead of the NHL trade deadline Friday. In recent days, New Jersey got big winger Timo Meier from San Jose and Boston traded with Washington for Garnet Hathaway and Dmitry Orlov. Toronto sent a conditional 2025 first-round pick, a second-rounder in 2026, prospect Pavel Gogolev and forward Joey Anderson to the Blackhawks for Lafferty, McCabe and conditional fifth-round picks in 2024 and ‘25. Chicago is retaining half of McCabe’s salary. Dubas, in his fifth season as Leafs general manager, said talks with Chicago counterpart Kyle Davidson predated trades by the Lightning and Bruins, but isn’t downplaying the value of keeping up knowing how difficult the first couple of rounds will be this spring. NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Charlotte Hornets 117, Detroit Pistons 106 Hornets 117, Pistons 106 – Ball fractures ankle in Hornets’ 117-106 win over Pistons LaMelo Ball made six 3-pointers before breaking his right ankle in the third quarter, and the Charlotte Hornets held on to beat the Detroit Pistons 117-106 for their fifth straight victory. Terry Rozier scored 22 points and Gordon Hayward had 19 points for Charlotte, which is still second-to-last in the Eastern Conference standings — ahead of only Detroit. Ball finished with 18 points. He was hurt on a non-contact play, and the Hornets announced after the game that he had fractured his right ankle. Hamidou Diallo and James Wiseman each scored 23 points for the Pistons.

The rest of the AP Top 25 was a big jumble. Houston was No. 1 for the second straight week in the poll released Monday, receiving 49 first-place votes from a 62-person media panel.

The rest of the poll, only No. 20 Providence kept the same position from last week. NCAAWBKB – 36 weeks and counting for South Carolina South Carolina is No. 1 for the 36th consecutive week. That ties Louisiana Tech for the second-longest run atop The Associated Press Top 25 women’s basketball poll in history. Only UConn with 51 weeks has a longer streak. Indiana stayed at No. 2 despite a last-second loss to Iowa. Utah was third with LSU and Maryland rounding out the top five. Iowa was seventh with Virginia Tech eighth. UConn fell five spots to ninth after losing to St. John’s. Notre Dame is 10th. South Florida re-entered the Top 25 at No. 25. Florida State dropped out.

After Djokovic and Graf on the all-time No. 1 weeks list are Martina Navratilova with 332 and Serena Williams with 319. The computerized rankings began in the 1970s.

NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Ottawa Senators 6, Detroit Red Wings 2 Anaheim Ducks 4, Chicago Blackhawks 2 Senators 6, Red Wings 2 – Giroux has goal, 3 assists as Senators beat Red Wings 6-2 Claude Giroux scored the tiebreaking goal and had three assists, Thomas Chabot had a goal and two assists and the Ottawa Senators beat the Detroit Red Wings 6-2. Brady Tkachuk, Tim Stutzle, Drake Batherson and Jake Sanderson also scored to help Ottawa win its second straight after a two-game skid. Cam Talbot finished with 22 saves. David Perron and Tyler Bertuzzi scored goals for the Red Wings, who have lost two straight after winning seven of eight. Magnus Hellberg had 36 saves. Ducks 4, Blackhawks 2 – Ducks snap Blackhawks’ 5-game win streak with 4-2 victory Max Jones scored the go-ahead goal, Troy Terry had a goal and an assist, and the Anaheim Ducks ended the Chicago Blackhawks' five-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory on Monday night. Isac Lundestrom and Jakob Silfverberg also scored, Mason McTavish had three assists, and the Ducks won their third straight game. Lukas Dostal made 24 saves after losing his previous five starts. Tyler Johnson had a power-play goal and an assist, and Andreas Athanasiou scored for the Blackhawks, who had been on their longest run of sustained success since winning five in a row in January 2020. Petr Mrazek gave up four goals on 33 shots. Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Ottawa Senators, 7:00 p.m. Chicago Blackhawks at Arizona Coyotes, 9:00 p.m. NHL – Maple Leafs up ante in East by making trade with Blackhawks The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired forward Sam Lafferty and defenseman Jake McCabe from the Chicago Blackhawks. Their latest big trade comes the day after division-rival Tampa Bay paid a hefty price to acquire forward Tanner Jeannot from Nashville. Talent continues to flow to Eastern Conference contenders ahead of the NHL trade deadline Friday. In recent days, New Jersey got big winger Timo Meier from San Jose and Boston traded with Washington for Garnet Hathaway and Dmitry Orlov. Toronto sent a conditional 2025 first-round pick, a second-rounder in 2026, prospect Pavel Gogolev and forward Joey Anderson to the Blackhawks for Lafferty, McCabe and conditional fifth-round picks in 2024 and ‘25. Chicago is retaining half of McCabe's salary. Dubas, in his fifth season as Leafs general manager, said talks with Chicago counterpart Kyle Davidson predated trades by the Lightning and Bruins, but isn’t downplaying the value of keeping up knowing how difficult the first couple of rounds will be this spring. NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Charlotte Hornets 117, Detroit Pistons 106 Hornets 117, Pistons 106 – Ball fractures ankle in Hornets’ 117-106 win over Pistons LaMelo Ball made six 3-pointers before breaking his right ankle in the third quarter, and the Charlotte Hornets held on to beat the Detroit Pistons 117-106 for their fifth straight victory. Terry Rozier scored 22 points and Gordon Hayward had 19 points for Charlotte, which is still second-to-last in the Eastern Conference standings — ahead of only Detroit. Ball finished with 18 points. He was hurt on a non-contact play, and the Hornets announced after the game that he had fractured his right ankle. Hamidou Diallo and James Wiseman each scored 23 points for the Pistons.

NCAAMBKB – Men’s College Basketball Tonight Western Michigan at Eastern Michigan, 7:00 p.m. Central Michigan at Buffalo, 7:00 p.m. (17) Indiana at Michigan State, 9:00 p.m. Superhits 103.7 Cosy-FM 8:00 NCAAWBKB – Women’s College Basketball Yesterday (16) Ohio State 74, (12) Michigan 61 (16) Ohio State 74, (12) Michigan 61 – Harris, Ohio State women beat Michigan 74-61 Rikki Harris scored a career-high 23 points with five assists and seven steals, Taylor Thierry added 15 points and No. 16 Ohio State beat No. 12 Michigan 74-61 to complete a season sweep of the Wolverines. It was Ohio State’s first victory over a ranked team since topping Michigan 66-57 on New Year’s Eve. Taylor Mikesell made four 3-pointers and scored 12 for Ohio State (23-5, 12-5 Big Ten). Cotie McMahon had seven points, eight rebounds and seven assists. McMahon was named the Big Ten freshman of the week for the sixth time earlier on Monday after averaging 19.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Leigha Brown scored a career-high 36 points with nine rebounds for Michigan. NCAAMBKB – Houston back at No. 1 as Northwestern makes debut Houston returned to No. 1 in the AP men’s college basketball poll for the third time this season while Northwestern and Texas A&M barged into the rankings after each had a pair of impressive wins last week. The Cougars picked up 48 first-place votes from the 62-member national media panel with just two weeks left in the regular season. Alabama dropped one spot after losing to Tennessee and routing Georgia in its lone week at No. 1. The Crimson Tide held onto seven first-place votes, while Kansas also earned seven to climb two spots to No. 3. North Carolina State and Florida Atlantic dropped out after each lost games last week. NCAAWBKB – South Carolina’s No. 1 run in Top 25 hits 35 weeks South Carolina remained No. 1 in The Associated Press women’s college basketball poll after topping Mississippi in overtime on Sunday. The Gamecocks have been No. 1 for 35 straight weeks, the third-longest streak of all time. They received 27 of the 28 first-place votes from the national media panel, marking the first time all season they weren’t a unanimous choice. Indiana got the other first-place vote and stayed second in the poll. The Hoosiers have won 14 consecutive games and are 9-0 against AP Top 25 teams this season — the most wins against ranked opponents of any team in the country. Stanford, UConn and LSU round out the top five teams. NHL – National Hockey League Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Washington Capitals, 7:00 p.m. Vegas Golden Knights at Chicago Blackhawks, 8:30 p.m. Olympics – Nations: No clarity on neutrality, no Olympics for Russia The governments of 35 nations signed a statement calling on the IOC to clarify the definition of “neutrality” as it seeks a way to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes back into international sports and next year’s Paris Olympics. The statement said the countries do not agree Russian and Belarusian athletes should be allowed back into competition as long as the lack of clarity and concrete details on a workable neutrality model aren’t addressed. The United States, Britain, France, Canada and Germany were among those signing. Those five countries brought nearly one-fifth of all the athletes to the Tokyo Games in 2021. The letter was the product of a Feb. 10 summit in London. MLB – Cubs, RHP Michael Fulmer finalize $4M, 1-year contract The Chicago Cubs have added Michael Fulmer to their bullpen, finalizing a $4 million, one-year contract with the right-hander. Fulmer played for Detroit and Minnesota last season, going 5-6 with 3.39 ERA in a career-high 67 appearances. He began the season with the Tigers and was traded to the Twins in August. Fulmer says conversations with former Cubs relievers Andrew Chafin and Daniel Norris cemented his decision to join the team. MLB – Elvis Andrus to play 2nd base with Chicago White Sox Elvis Andrus is joining the Chicago White Sox, stepping into the team’s opening at second base. Andrus has finalized a $3 million, one-year contract. The two-time All-Star has played shortstop for his entire big league career, but he is going to move over to second in his return to Chicago. To make room on the roster, left-hander Bennett Sousa was designated for assignment. The 34-year-old Andrus finished last season with Chicago, hitting .271 with nine homers and 28 RBIs in 43 games after he was cut by Oakland. MLB – Milestones behind him, Cabrera hopes for fun final year Miguel Cabrera sounds at ease with his decision to call it a career. The Detroit slugger joked with reporters in his usual playful way and insisted he doesn’t need opponents to lavish him with attention. That will likely come this season whether he wants it or not. Two decades after his big league debut as a 20-year-old Florida Marlin, Cabrera is entering his final season. He’s hoping for good health and more wins for the Tigers. Cabrera hit his 500th home run two years ago. Last season he reached 3,000 hits. MLB – Major league teams searching for advantages with new rules The only certainty about Major League Baseball’s new rules for the 2023 season is that everyone is going to push and pull on them in search of an edge. The size of the bases has been increased to 18-inch squares from 15. The new pitch clock is 15 seconds with no runners on base and 20 seconds with runners. The increasingly frequent infield shift has been eliminated, and there is a limit of two of what MLB calls disengagements — pickoff attempts or steps off the rubber — per plate appearance. AHL – American Hockey League Yesterday Manitoba Moose 5, Grand Rapids Griffins 1 MHSAA – High School Sports Last Night Boys Basketball St. Joseph 47, Berrien Springs 42 St. Joe rallied from a 40-30 deficit heading into the final quarter and outscored Berrien Springs 17-2 in the fourth quarter for a 47-42 win over the upset minded Shamrocks.

NCAAMBKB – Men’s College Basketball Tonight Western Michigan at Eastern Michigan, 7:00 p.m. Central Michigan at Buffalo, 7:00 p.m. (17) Indiana at Michigan State, 9:00 p.m. Superhits 103.7 Cosy-FM 8:00 NCAAWBKB – Women’s College Basketball Yesterday (16) Ohio State 74, (12) Michigan 61 (16) Ohio State 74, (12) Michigan 61 – Harris, Ohio State women beat Michigan 74-61 Rikki Harris scored a career-high 23 points with five assists and seven steals, Taylor Thierry added 15 points and No. 16 Ohio State beat No. 12 Michigan 74-61 to complete a season sweep of the Wolverines. It was Ohio State’s first victory over a ranked team since topping Michigan 66-57 on New Year’s Eve. Taylor Mikesell made four 3-pointers and scored 12 for Ohio State (23-5, 12-5 Big Ten). Cotie McMahon had seven points, eight rebounds and seven assists. McMahon was named the Big Ten freshman of the week for the sixth time earlier on Monday after averaging 19.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Leigha Brown scored a career-high 36 points with nine rebounds for Michigan. NCAAMBKB – Houston back at No. 1 as Northwestern makes debut Houston returned to No. 1 in the AP men’s college basketball poll for the third time this season while Northwestern and Texas A&M barged into the rankings after each had a pair of impressive wins last week. The Cougars picked up 48 first-place votes from the 62-member national media panel with just two weeks left in the regular season. Alabama dropped one spot after losing to Tennessee and routing Georgia in its lone week at No. 1. The Crimson Tide held onto seven first-place votes, while Kansas also earned seven to climb two spots to No. 3. North Carolina State and Florida Atlantic dropped out after each lost games last week. NCAAWBKB – South Carolina’s No. 1 run in Top 25 hits 35 weeks South Carolina remained No. 1 in The Associated Press women’s college basketball poll after topping Mississippi in overtime on Sunday. The Gamecocks have been No. 1 for 35 straight weeks, the third-longest streak of all time. They received 27 of the 28 first-place votes from the national media panel, marking the first time all season they weren’t a unanimous choice. Indiana got the other first-place vote and stayed second in the poll. The Hoosiers have won 14 consecutive games and are 9-0 against AP Top 25 teams this season — the most wins against ranked opponents of any team in the country. Stanford, UConn and LSU round out the top five teams. NHL – National Hockey League Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Washington Capitals, 7:00 p.m. Vegas Golden Knights at Chicago Blackhawks, 8:30 p.m. Olympics – Nations: No clarity on neutrality, no Olympics for Russia The governments of 35 nations signed a statement calling on the IOC to clarify the definition of “neutrality” as it seeks a way to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes back into international sports and next year’s Paris Olympics. The statement said the countries do not agree Russian and Belarusian athletes should be allowed back into competition as long as the lack of clarity and concrete details on a workable neutrality model aren’t addressed. The United States, Britain, France, Canada and Germany were among those signing. Those five countries brought nearly one-fifth of all the athletes to the Tokyo Games in 2021. The letter was the product of a Feb. 10 summit in London. MLB – Cubs, RHP Michael Fulmer finalize $4M, 1-year contract The Chicago Cubs have added Michael Fulmer to their bullpen, finalizing a $4 million, one-year contract with the right-hander. Fulmer played for Detroit and Minnesota last season, going 5-6 with 3.39 ERA in a career-high 67 appearances. He began the season with the Tigers and was traded to the Twins in August. Fulmer says conversations with former Cubs relievers Andrew Chafin and Daniel Norris cemented his decision to join the team. MLB – Elvis Andrus to play 2nd base with Chicago White Sox Elvis Andrus is joining the Chicago White Sox, stepping into the team’s opening at second base. Andrus has finalized a $3 million, one-year contract. The two-time All-Star has played shortstop for his entire big league career, but he is going to move over to second in his return to Chicago. To make room on the roster, left-hander Bennett Sousa was designated for assignment. The 34-year-old Andrus finished last season with Chicago, hitting .271 with nine homers and 28 RBIs in 43 games after he was cut by Oakland. MLB – Milestones behind him, Cabrera hopes for fun final year Miguel Cabrera sounds at ease with his decision to call it a career. The Detroit slugger joked with reporters in his usual playful way and insisted he doesn’t need opponents to lavish him with attention. That will likely come this season whether he wants it or not. Two decades after his big league debut as a 20-year-old Florida Marlin, Cabrera is entering his final season. He’s hoping for good health and more wins for the Tigers. Cabrera hit his 500th home run two years ago. Last season he reached 3,000 hits. MLB – Major league teams searching for advantages with new rules The only certainty about Major League Baseball’s new rules for the 2023 season is that everyone is going to push and pull on them in search of an edge. The size of the bases has been increased to 18-inch squares from 15. The new pitch clock is 15 seconds with no runners on base and 20 seconds with runners. The increasingly frequent infield shift has been eliminated, and there is a limit of two of what MLB calls disengagements — pickoff attempts or steps off the rubber — per plate appearance. AHL – American Hockey League Yesterday Manitoba Moose 5, Grand Rapids Griffins 1 MHSAA – High School Sports Last Night Boys Basketball St. Joseph 47, Berrien Springs 42 St. Joe rallied from a 40-30 deficit heading into the final quarter and outscored Berrien Springs 17-2 in the fourth quarter for a 47-42 win over the upset minded Shamrocks. Chase Sanders had 12 points to lead St. Joe while Matt Lanier and Luke Lehner had 11 points each. Allen Taylor had 14 points to lead Berrien Springs while Brady Blasko had 13.

To make room on the roster, left-hander Bennett Sousa was designated for assignment. The 34-year-old Andrus finished last season with Chicago, hitting .271 with nine homers and 28 RBIs in 43 games after he was cut by Oakland. MLB – Milestones behind him, Cabrera hopes for fun final year Miguel Cabrera sounds at ease with his decision to call it a career. The Detroit slugger joked with reporters in his usual playful way and insisted he doesn’t need opponents to lavish him with attention. That will likely come this season whether he wants it or not. Two decades after his big league debut as a 20-year-old Florida Marlin, Cabrera is entering his final season. He’s hoping for good health and more wins for the Tigers. Cabrera hit his 500th home run two years ago. Last season he reached 3,000 hits. MLB – Major league teams searching for advantages with new rules The only certainty about Major League Baseball’s new rules for the 2023 season is that everyone is going to push and pull on them in search of an edge. The size of the bases has been increased to 18-inch squares from 15. The new pitch clock is 15 seconds with no runners on base and 20 seconds with runners. The increasingly frequent infield shift has been eliminated, and there is a limit of two of what MLB calls disengagements — pickoff attempts or steps off the rubber — per plate appearance.

It was Ohio State’s first victory over a ranked team since topping Michigan 66-57 on New Year’s Eve. Taylor Mikesell made four 3-pointers and scored 12 for Ohio State (23-5, 12-5 Big Ten). Cotie McMahon had seven points, eight rebounds and seven assists. McMahon was named the Big Ten freshman of the week for the sixth time earlier on Monday after averaging 19.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Leigha Brown scored a career-high 36 points with nine rebounds for Michigan. NCAAMBKB – Houston back at No. 1 as Northwestern makes debut Houston returned to No. 1 in the AP men’s college basketball poll for the third time this season while Northwestern and Texas A&M barged into the rankings after each had a pair of impressive wins last week. The Cougars picked up 48 first-place votes from the 62-member national media panel with just two weeks left in the regular season. Alabama dropped one spot after losing to Tennessee and routing Georgia in its lone week at No. 1. The Crimson Tide held onto seven first-place votes, while Kansas also earned seven to climb two spots to No. 3. North Carolina State and Florida Atlantic dropped out after each lost games last week. NCAAWBKB – South Carolina’s No. 1 run in Top 25 hits 35 weeks South Carolina remained No. 1 in The Associated Press women’s college basketball poll after topping Mississippi in overtime on Sunday. The Gamecocks have been No. 1 for 35 straight weeks, the third-longest streak of all time. They received 27 of the 28 first-place votes from the national media panel, marking the first time all season they weren’t a unanimous choice. Indiana got the other first-place vote and stayed second in the poll. The Hoosiers have won 14 consecutive games and are 9-0 against AP Top 25 teams this season — the most wins against ranked opponents of any team in the country. Stanford, UConn and LSU round out the top five teams. NHL – National Hockey League Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Washington Capitals, 7:00 p.m. Vegas Golden Knights at Chicago Blackhawks, 8:30 p.m. Olympics – Nations: No clarity on neutrality, no Olympics for Russia The governments of 35 nations signed a statement calling on the IOC to clarify the definition of “neutrality” as it seeks a way to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes back into international sports and next year’s Paris Olympics. The statement said the countries do not agree Russian and Belarusian athletes should be allowed back into competition as long as the lack of clarity and concrete details on a workable neutrality model aren’t addressed. The United States, Britain, France, Canada and Germany were among those signing. Those five countries brought nearly one-fifth of all the athletes to the Tokyo Games in 2021. The letter was the product of a Feb. 10 summit in London. MLB – Cubs, RHP Michael Fulmer finalize $4M, 1-year contract The Chicago Cubs have added Michael Fulmer to their bullpen, finalizing a $4 million, one-year contract with the right-hander. Fulmer played for Detroit and Minnesota last season, going 5-6 with 3.39 ERA in a career-high 67 appearances. He began the season with the Tigers and was traded to the Twins in August. Fulmer says conversations with former Cubs relievers Andrew Chafin and Daniel Norris cemented his decision to join the team.

Weiss was fired on Jan. 20, after skipping a meeting. Campus police are investigating possible computer crimes at the football building known as Schembechler Hall. Weiss has not directly addressed the allegations, saying only that he looks forward to “putting this matter” behind him.

His plea agreement calls for 18 to 40 years in prison on the second-degree murder charge and two years to be served consecutively on the firearm charge. The Detroit Pershing prep star played at Michigan State from 2010 to 2014. Appling also played pro basketball overseas and had two brief contracts with the NBA’s Orlando Magic.

NCAAFB – Alabama announces hiring of coordinators Steele, Rees Alabama coach Nick Saban has hired Kevin Steele as defensive coordinator and Tommy Rees as offensive coordinator. Alabama announced the already widely reported hirings on Monday, along with the addition of inside linebackers coach Austin Armstrong. Steele is a former defensive coordinator at a number of Power Five schools and spent last season at Miami. Rees had spent the last three seasons as offensive coordinator at Notre Dame, where he’s a former starting quarterback. Armstrong was the Southern Miss defensive coordinator the past two seasons. NCAAFB – Michigan says it had proof against fired football assistant Michigan fired football co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss in January after he failed to attend a meeting to discuss whether he had gained access to computer accounts that belonged to other people. That’s according to documents released to The Associated Press. An athletic department official told Weiss that the university had evidence that he had “inappropriately accessed” the accounts. Weiss was fired on Jan. 20, after skipping a meeting. Campus police are investigating possible computer crimes at the football building known as Schembechler Hall. Weiss has not directly addressed the allegations, saying only that he looks forward to “putting this matter” behind him.

Purdue's loss to Northwestern last week caused a jumble at the top of the AP Top 25 and the Crimson Tide were the biggest beneficiaries.

The Cougars had 22 first-place votes to remain at No. 2 and Purdue, down to No. 3, still had two votes at No. 1. UCLA and Kansas rounded out the top five.

UConn saw its 30-year streak of not losing consecutive games end last week and is now ranked sixth. NCAAMBKB – Former Michigan State star pleads guilty in 2021 murder case A former Michigan State University basketball star has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and a firearm charge in the fatal shooting of a Detroit man. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy says 31-year-old Keith Damon Appling pleaded guilty Monday to one count each of second-degree murder and felony firearm in the killing of 66-year-old Clyde Edmonds. Prosecutors say Appling fatally shot Edmonds in May 2021 after the men argued over a handgun. His plea agreement calls for 18 to 40 years in prison on the second-degree murder charge and two years to be served consecutively on the firearm charge. The Detroit Pershing prep star played at Michigan State from 2010 to 2014. Appling also played pro basketball overseas and had two brief contracts with the NBA's Orlando Magic. MLB – Spring training’s start brings pitch clocks, shift limits Spring training opens Monday in Florida and Arizona. And there’ll be lots of new changes, like pitch clocks, limits on defensive shifts and larger bases. Players are reporting early ahead of the World Baseball Classic. Opening day is March 30. This season will see some star players in new places: Jacob deGrom, Justin Verlander, Trea Turner and Xander Bogaerts. There also are four new managers: Bruce Bochy, Matt Quatraro, Pedro Grifol and Skip Schumaker. MLB – ‘Ghost runner’ in extra innings made permanent by MLB Starting extra innings with a runner on second base during the regular season was made a permanent rules change by Major League Baseball after three seasons of use during the coronavirus pandemic. Use of position players as pitchers also was tightened by the joint competition committee. They will be limited to extra innings, when a player's team is losing by eight or more runs or is winning by 10 or more runs in the ninth inning. Last year, a position player could pitch only in extra innings or if his team was losing or winning by six or more runs.

NCAAFB – Michigan says it had proof against fired football assistant Michigan fired football co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss in January after he failed to attend a meeting to discuss whether he had gained access to computer accounts that belonged to other people. That’s according to documents released to The Associated Press. An athletic department official told Weiss that the university had evidence that he had “inappropriately accessed” the accounts. Weiss was fired on Jan. 20, after skipping a meeting. Campus police are investigating possible computer crimes at the football building known as Schembechler Hall. Weiss has not directly addressed the allegations, saying only that he looks forward to “putting this matter” behind him.

Purdue’s loss to Northwestern last week caused a jumble at the top of the AP Top 25 and the Crimson Tide were the biggest beneficiaries.

NCAAMBKB – Former Michigan State star pleads guilty in 2021 murder case A former Michigan State University basketball star has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and a firearm charge in the fatal shooting of a Detroit man. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy says 31-year-old Keith Damon Appling pleaded guilty Monday to one count each of second-degree murder and felony firearm in the killing of 66-year-old Clyde Edmonds. Prosecutors say Appling fatally shot Edmonds in May 2021 after the men argued over a handgun. His plea agreement calls for 18 to 40 years in prison on the second-degree murder charge and two years to be served consecutively on the firearm charge. The Detroit Pershing prep star played at Michigan State from 2010 to 2014. Appling also played pro basketball overseas and had two brief contracts with the NBA’s Orlando Magic. MLB – Spring training’s start brings pitch clocks, shift limits Spring training opens Monday in Florida and Arizona.

This season will see some star players in new places: Jacob deGrom, Justin Verlander, Trea Turner and Xander Bogaerts. There also are four new managers: Bruce Bochy, Matt Quatraro, Pedro Grifol and Skip Schumaker. MLB – ‘Ghost runner’ in extra innings made permanent by MLB Starting extra innings with a runner on second base during the regular season was made a permanent rules change by Major League Baseball after three seasons of use during the coronavirus pandemic. Use of position players as pitchers also was tightened by the joint competition committee. They will be limited to extra innings, when a player’s team is losing by eight or more runs or is winning by 10 or more runs in the ninth inning. Last year, a position player could pitch only in extra innings or if his team was losing or winning by six or more runs.

MLB – ‘Ghost runner’ in extra innings made permanent by MLB Starting extra innings with a runner on second base during the regular season was made a permanent rules change by Major League Baseball after three seasons of use during the coronavirus pandemic. Use of position players as pitchers also was tightened by the joint competition committee. They will be limited to extra innings, when a player's team is losing by eight or more runs or is winning by 10 or more runs in the ninth inning. Last year, a position player could pitch only in extra innings or if his team was losing or winning by six or more runs.

The All-Star forward missed his first five shots and had as many fouls as field goals after missing 10 shots in the first half. Tatum made three 3-pointers and an array of driving layups in the third, scoring 18 points in the quarter to turn a seven-point halftime lead into a 18-point cushion. Bojan Bogdanovic scored 21 for the Pistons, who have won just one-fourth of their game Bulls 128, Spurs 104 – Vucevic, Drummond come up big, Bulls beat Spurs 128-104 Nikola Vucevic had 22 points and 12 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls handed San Antonio its ninth straight loss with a 128-104 victory over the Spurs. Andre Drummond set season highs with 21 points and 15 rebounds, helping the Bulls match a season high with their third straight win. They also got some payback for a loss at San Antonio in October. It was tied at 85 late in the third quarter when Chicago went on a 23-3 run. Keldon Johnson led San Antonio with 21 points. Tonight Chicago Bulls at Memphis Grizzlies, 8:00 p.m. NBA – NBA reschedules 3 games to make up for 1 postponed by storm The NBA has rescheduled three games after one game was postponed last week when the Detroit Pistons were stranded in Dallas due to a winter storm. The Pistons will make up their home game against the Washington Wizards on March 7. The league also rescheduled games for both franchises to avoid either team playing on three straight days. Detroit will host the Portland Trail Blazers on March 6, a day before previously scheduled. The Wizards will face the Milwaukee Bucks at home on March 5, also a day earlier than previously planned. NBA – NBA approves sale of Phoenix Suns, Mercury to Mat Ishbia Mortgage executive and former Michigan State guard Mat Ishbia is approved to become the new majority owner of the Phoenix Suns and WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury. The NBA’s board of governors approved his plan to purchase the controlling stake of those franchises from Robert Sarver. The vote was 29-0, with the Cleveland Cavaliers abstaining, according to a person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the vote had not yet been announced publicly. Ishbia agreed on Dec. 20 to the deal, one that put the total value of the Suns and Mercury at $4 billion.

Welcome to Super Bowl opening night where football talk gives way to the wacky. The circus atmosphere that kicks off the NFL’s biggest week has returned for the first time since 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic forced teams to meet the media on video conferences the past two seasons. Sirianni and the Eagles took the stage first at the home of the Phoenix Suns. “Fly, Eagles, Fly” chants greeted players and coaches before they spent an hour answering wide-ranging questions from more than 2,000 media members.

Fox said Monday that in-game ads for Super Bowl LVII have all been sold. The big game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles takes place on Sunday. The Super Bowl is advertising’s biggest stage, with advertisers jockeying to get their products in front of the more than 100 million people that watch each year. Mark Evans, executive vice president of ad sales for Fox Sports, said a few ads went for more than $7 million for a 30-second spot. Most sold between $6 million and $7 million.

The Gophers had only eight available scholarship players for their last game when they lost 81-46 to Maryland. The game will be rescheduled by the Big Ten with input from both schools. Minnesota is next scheduled to host Iowa this Sunday. Illinois will host No. 24 Rutgers this Saturday. NCAAMBKB – Purdue stays No. 1 in AP Top 25; NC State in at No. 22 Purdue remains atop The Associated Press men’s college basketball poll despite losing its second game of the season. The new poll out Monday also saw Marquette push into the top 10 and North Carolina State make its first poll appearance in four years.

Rose had not won since Torrey Pines four years ago. Now he’s headed to the Masters again. The tournament was delayed to a Monday finish because of high wind on Saturday. Rose benefited from that stoppage of play. And he was helped by hardly any wind over the final nine holes he played Monday. Brendon Todd and Brandon Wu finished second.

The All-Star forward missed his first five shots and had as many fouls as field goals after missing 10 shots in the first half. Tatum made three 3-pointers and an array of driving layups in the third, scoring 18 points in the quarter to turn a seven-point halftime lead into a 18-point cushion. Bojan Bogdanovic scored 21 for the Pistons, who have won just one-fourth of their game Bulls 128, Spurs 104 – Vucevic, Drummond come up big, Bulls beat Spurs 128-104 Nikola Vucevic had 22 points and 12 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls handed San Antonio its ninth straight loss with a 128-104 victory over the Spurs. Andre Drummond set season highs with 21 points and 15 rebounds, helping the Bulls match a season high with their third straight win. They also got some payback for a loss at San Antonio in October. It was tied at 85 late in the third quarter when Chicago went on a 23-3 run. Keldon Johnson led San Antonio with 21 points. Tonight Chicago Bulls at Memphis Grizzlies, 8:00 p.m. NBA – NBA reschedules 3 games to make up for 1 postponed by storm The NBA has rescheduled three games after one game was postponed last week when the Detroit Pistons were stranded in Dallas due to a winter storm. The Pistons will make up their home game against the Washington Wizards on March 7. The league also rescheduled games for both franchises to avoid either team playing on three straight days. Detroit will host the Portland Trail Blazers on March 6, a day before previously scheduled. The Wizards will face the Milwaukee Bucks at home on March 5, also a day earlier than previously planned. NBA – NBA approves sale of Phoenix Suns, Mercury to Mat Ishbia Mortgage executive and former Michigan State guard Mat Ishbia is approved to become the new majority owner of the Phoenix Suns and WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury. The NBA’s board of governors approved his plan to purchase the controlling stake of those franchises from Robert Sarver. The vote was 29-0, with the Cleveland Cavaliers abstaining, according to a person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the vote had not yet been announced publicly. Ishbia agreed on Dec. 20 to the deal, one that put the total value of the Suns and Mercury at $4 billion.

Welcome to Super Bowl opening night where football talk gives way to the wacky. The circus atmosphere that kicks off the NFL’s biggest week has returned for the first time since 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic forced teams to meet the media on video conferences the past two seasons. Sirianni and the Eagles took the stage first at the home of the Phoenix Suns. “Fly, Eagles, Fly” chants greeted players and coaches before they spent an hour answering wide-ranging questions from more than 2,000 media members. NFL – For Super Bowl ads this year, crypto is out, booze is in The hottest ticket in town for advertisers is officially sold out. Fox said Monday that in-game ads for Super Bowl LVII have all been sold. The big game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles takes place on Sunday. The Super Bowl is advertising’s biggest stage, with advertisers jockeying to get their products in front of the more than 100 million people that watch each year. Mark Evans, executive vice president of ad sales for Fox Sports, said a few ads went for more than $7 million for a 30-second spot. Most sold between $6 million and $7 million.

The Gophers had only eight available scholarship players for their last game when they lost 81-46 to Maryland. The game will be rescheduled by the Big Ten with input from both schools. Minnesota is next scheduled to host Iowa this Sunday. Illinois will host No. 24 Rutgers this Saturday. NCAAMBKB – Purdue stays No. 1 in AP Top 25; NC State in at No. 22 Purdue remains atop The Associated Press men’s college basketball poll despite losing its second game of the season. The new poll out Monday also saw Marquette push into the top 10 and North Carolina State make its first poll appearance in four years. The Boilermakers earned 38 of 62 first-place votes to stay at No. 1 for a third straight week and seventh time this season. Houston rose to No. 2 with 22 first-place votes.

Rose had not won since Torrey Pines four years ago. Now he’s headed to the Masters again. The tournament was delayed to a Monday finish because of high wind on Saturday. Rose benefited from that stoppage of play. And he was helped by hardly any wind over the final nine holes he played Monday. Brendon Todd and Brandon Wu finished second.

The All-Star forward missed his first five shots and had as many fouls as field goals after missing 10 shots in the first half. Tatum made three 3-pointers and an array of driving layups in the third, scoring 18 points in the quarter to turn a seven-point halftime lead into a 18-point cushion. Bojan Bogdanovic scored 21 for the Pistons, who have won just one-fourth of their game Bulls 128, Spurs 104 – Vucevic, Drummond come up big, Bulls beat Spurs 128-104 Nikola Vucevic had 22 points and 12 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls handed San Antonio its ninth straight loss with a 128-104 victory over the Spurs. Andre Drummond set season highs with 21 points and 15 rebounds, helping the Bulls match a season high with their third straight win. They also got some payback for a loss at San Antonio in October. It was tied at 85 late in the third quarter when Chicago went on a 23-3 run. Keldon Johnson led San Antonio with 21 points. Tonight Chicago Bulls at Memphis Grizzlies, 8:00 p.m. NBA – NBA reschedules 3 games to make up for 1 postponed by storm The NBA has rescheduled three games after one game was postponed last week when the Detroit Pistons were stranded in Dallas due to a winter storm. The Pistons will make up their home game against the Washington Wizards on March 7. The league also rescheduled games for both franchises to avoid either team playing on three straight days. Detroit will host the Portland Trail Blazers on March 6, a day before previously scheduled. The Wizards will face the Milwaukee Bucks at home on March 5, also a day earlier than previously planned. NBA – NBA approves sale of Phoenix Suns, Mercury to Mat Ishbia Mortgage executive and former Michigan State guard Mat Ishbia is approved to become the new majority owner of the Phoenix Suns and WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury. The NBA’s board of governors approved his plan to purchase the controlling stake of those franchises from Robert Sarver. The vote was 29-0, with the Cleveland Cavaliers abstaining, according to a person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the vote had not yet been announced publicly. Ishbia agreed on Dec. 20 to the deal, one that put the total value of the Suns and Mercury at $4 billion.

Welcome to Super Bowl opening night where football talk gives way to the wacky. The circus atmosphere that kicks off the NFL’s biggest week has returned for the first time since 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic forced teams to meet the media on video conferences the past two seasons. Sirianni and the Eagles took the stage first at the home of the Phoenix Suns. “Fly, Eagles, Fly” chants greeted players and coaches before they spent an hour answering wide-ranging questions from more than 2,000 media members.

The Super Bowl is advertising’s biggest stage, with advertisers jockeying to get their products in front of the more than 100 million people that watch each year. Mark Evans, executive vice president of ad sales for Fox Sports, said a few ads went for more than $7 million for a 30-second spot. Most sold between $6 million and $7 million.

The Gophers had only eight available scholarship players for their last game when they lost 81-46 to Maryland. The game will be rescheduled by the Big Ten with input from both schools. Minnesota is next scheduled to host Iowa this Sunday. Illinois will host No. 24 Rutgers this Saturday. NCAAMBKB – Purdue stays No. 1 in AP Top 25; NC State in at No. 22 Purdue remains atop The Associated Press men’s college basketball poll despite losing its second game of the season. The new poll out Monday also saw Marquette push into the top 10 and North Carolina State make its first poll appearance in four years. The Boilermakers earned 38 of 62 first-place votes to stay at No. 1 for a third straight week and seventh time this season. Houston rose to No. 2 with 22 first-place votes.

Rose made short work on a short Monday with three birdies in four holes. That sent him to a 66 and a three-shot victory in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Rose had not won since Torrey Pines four years ago. Now he’s headed to the Masters again. The tournament was delayed to a Monday finish because of high wind on Saturday. Rose benefited from that stoppage of play. And he was helped by hardly any wind over the final nine holes he played Monday. Brendon Todd and Brandon Wu finished second.

NHL – Hall of Famer Bobby Hull, the Golden Jet, dies at 84 Hall of Fame forward Bobby Hull, who helped the Chicago Black Hawks win the 1961 Stanley Cup Final, has died. Hull was 84. The two-time MVP was one of the most prolific scorers in NHL history, leading the league in goals seven times. Nicknamed “The Golden Jet” for his speed and blond hair, he posted 13 consecutive seasons with 30 goals or more from 1959-72. Hull and Stan Mikita powered Chicago to the NHL title in 1961. Hull remains the Blackhawks' career leader with 62 playoff goals. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983 and his No. 9 sweater was retired by Chicago that same year. Hull's brother, Dennis, played for Chicago for most of his 14 years in the league, and Bobby's son, Brett, spent 19 years in the NHL.

Ohio State lost all three of its games last week and dropped from No. 2 to No. 10. NCAAFB – Rashada case in Florida highlights issues in NIL, recruiting Using name, image and likeness compensation to recruit college athletes is still very much against NCAA rules. The recent de-commitment from Florida by blue chip quarterback Jaden Rashada shows that NIL is definitely a factor in decisions. Booster-funded collectives are taking on a big role in compensating athletes. Schools can only hope they are acting within the rules and in their best interest. Inserting a third-party in the recruiting process between coaches and recruits has only complicated things. Experts say the collectives should focus on athletes who are already on campus.

NHL – Hall of Famer Bobby Hull, the Golden Jet, dies at 84 Hall of Fame forward Bobby Hull, who helped the Chicago Black Hawks win the 1961 Stanley Cup Final, has died. Hull was 84. The two-time MVP was one of the most prolific scorers in NHL history, leading the league in goals seven times. Nicknamed “The Golden Jet” for his speed and blond hair, he posted 13 consecutive seasons with 30 goals or more from 1959-72. Hull and Stan Mikita powered Chicago to the NHL title in 1961. Hull remains the Blackhawks' career leader with 62 playoff goals. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983 and his No. 9 sweater was retired by Chicago that same year. Hull's brother, Dennis, played for Chicago for most of his 14 years in the league, and Bobby's son, Brett, spent 19 years in the NHL. Bobby and Brett each won the Hart Trophy as league MVP, becoming the first father-son duo to accomplish the feat. Bobby won in 1964-65 and 1965-1966, while Brett won in 1990-1991.

NHL – Hall of Famer Bobby Hull, the Golden Jet, dies at 84 Hall of Fame forward Bobby Hull, who helped the Chicago Black Hawks win the 1961 Stanley Cup Final, has died. Hull was 84. The two-time MVP was one of the most prolific scorers in NHL history, leading the league in goals seven times. Nicknamed “The Golden Jet” for his speed and blond hair, he posted 13 consecutive seasons with 30 goals or more from 1959-72. Hull and Stan Mikita powered Chicago to the NHL title in 1961. Hull remains the Blackhawks’ career leader with 62 playoff goals. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983 and his No. 9 sweater was retired by Chicago that same year. Hull’s brother, Dennis, played for Chicago for most of his 14 years in the league, and Bobby’s son, Brett, spent 19 years in the NHL. Bobby and Brett each won the Hart Trophy as league MVP, becoming the first father-son duo to accomplish the feat. Bobby won in 1964-65 and 1965-1966, while Brett won in 1990-1991.

Four of Doncic’s five career 50-point games have come this season. He scored a career-best 60 against the New York Knicks in a game that went to overtime on Dec. 27. Bojan Bogdanovic had 29 points and Saddiq Bey scored 18 for the Pistons.

The Boilermakers have won eight straight games since a one-point loss to Rutgers on Jan. 2. They were followed in the AP Top 25 by Tennessee, Houston, Alabama and Arizona in the top five. No. 11 Baylor and No. 17 Providence made the biggest jumps, each climbing six spots. Auburn had the biggest drop, falling 10 spots to No. 25.

NCAAWBKB – South Carolina tops AP Top 25; Ohio State tumbles South Carolina, Stanford and LSU are the top teams in the latest women’s AP Top 25 college basketball rankings. South Carolina is No. 1 for the 32nd consecutive week. Only UConn (51 and 34 weeks) and Louisiana Tech (36) have had longer runs at No. 1. Indiana and UConn round out top five. Ohio State lost all three of its games last week and dropped from No. 2 to No. 10. NCAAFB – Rashada case in Florida highlights issues in NIL, recruiting Using name, image and likeness compensation to recruit college athletes is still very much against NCAA rules. The recent de-commitment from Florida by blue chip quarterback Jaden Rashada shows that NIL is definitely a factor in decisions. Booster-funded collectives are taking on a big role in compensating athletes. Schools can only hope they are acting within the rules and in their best interest. Inserting a third-party in the recruiting process between coaches and recruits has only complicated things. Experts say the collectives should focus on athletes who are already on campus.

Marisha “Risha” Sharay Jeter was a vibrant, beautiful, and talented 16-year-old high school student that was heavily involved in her church as well as multiple school-related groups such as cheerleading, the National Honors Society, and she even held the title of Junior Class President. She had plans of attending Duke University after graduating from high school and wanted to become an Obstetrician.Unfortunately, her first real relationship began at only 13 years old with a boy 4 years her senior, and it was toxic to say the least. Eventually a few years in, a love triangle would form, and jealousy and rage would drive Risha's so-called boyfriend to do something he could never take back. Listen to our first episode of 2023 to hear the tragic story of a talented singer turn deadly when she least expected it.

Pour ce podcast inédit, Jacques Pradel vous fait traverser l'Atlantique, direction les Etats-Unis, et plus précisément Jonesville, au nord-est de la Caroline du Nord. Une petite ville tranquille, où tous les habitants se connaissent. Mais le 4 octobre 1996, un terrible drame va secouer cette communauté très unie : le sergent Greg Martin est assassiné en pleine nuit alors qu'il effectuait une patrouille de routine. Quelques minutes avant d'être tué, il avait signalé par radio un véhicule rouge qui lui paraissait suspect. Les enquêteurs parviendront-ils à mettre la main sur le conducteur de ce pick-up ? La réponse dans ce nouveau podcast de Chroniques Criminelles.

Golf – Champions – Alker shoots 63 and rallies to win Senior PGA for 1st major Steven Alker is on a roll and now has his first senior major. Alker rallied from four shots behind with a 63 to win the Senior PGA Championship. That’s his third victory this year on the PGA Tour Champions and his first major. The 50-year-old from New Zealand was part of a three-way tie involving Stephen Ames and Bernhard Langer. They all made bogeys at some point on the back nine. Alker made a pair of key birdies that allowed him to take control. The win gets Alker into his first PGA Championship next year at Oak Hill. MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Detroit Tigers 7, Minnesota Twins 5 Milwaukee Brewers 7, Chicago Cubs 6 – Game 1 Milwaukee Brewers 3, Chicago Cubs 1 – Game 2 White Sox were off Tigers 7, Twins 5 – Schoop 3rd from Curaçao with 1,000 hits, Tigers top Twins Jonathan Schoop became the third player from Curaçao with 1,000 major league hits and finished a home run shy of the cycle, helping the Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins 7-5 in the opener of a five-game series. Schoop, a 30-year-old infielder in his 10th big league season, singled in the third inning, doubled in the fifth for his 1,000th hit and tripled leading off the seventh as part of a 3-for-5 afternoon that lifted his average from .173 to .185. Schoop joined Andruw Jones (1,933) and Andrelton Simmons (1,163 through Sunday) as players from Curaçao with 1,000 hits, Brewers 7, Cubs 6 & Brewers 3, Cubs 1 – Brewers take 2 from Cubs, Taylor HRs in both, Ashby fans 12 Tyrone Taylor homered in both games, Aaron Ashby struck out a career-high 12 in the nightcap and the Milwaukee Brewers swept a doubleheader from the Chicago Cubs 7-6 and 3-1, Luis Urías lined three-run homer into the basket in left-center to break a seventh-inning tie in the opener. The Brewers trailed 4-2 before Taylor’s two-run homer in the sixth, and Milwaukee led 2-1 in the second game when Taylor homered in the eighth. Victor Caratini hit a tiebreaking home run in the fifth inning against his former team, and the Brewers won their third in a row.

A third round pick in the 2018 amateur draft, Clemens was hitting .283 at Toledo with eight homers and 31 RBIs in 45 games.

The White Sox also waived left-hander Dallas Keuchel, who was designated for assignment last week, and recalled right-hander Kyle Crick from Triple-A Charlotte. MLB – Cubs place Seiya Suzuki on 10-day IL, cut Robert Gsellman The Chicago Cubs placed rookie outfielder Seiya Suzuki on the 10-day injured list with a left ring finger sprain prior.
