In the wake of the January 6 riot, Haley, a potential 2024 contender, said Trump “let us down” and that his actions since the 2020 presidential election would be “judged harshly by history.” It irked Trump’s supporters and the former president himself, who believed Haley was “killed by the party,” but in the months since, Haley has changed her view of Trump’s future in the GOP. “We need him in the Republican Party....

The celebrated change to college athletics were clarified to schools Monday, as boosters (and shell companies acting in the interest of boosters) were prohibited from having contact from incoming college athletes or their families. While not a change in and of itself – boosters were never allowed to contact new players – it is a needed clarification as boosters acted as companies to goad perspective student athletes into signing contracts contingent upon them playing for their school....

After fleeing Nazi persecution in 1942, Anne and her family went into hiding in Amsterdam. During that time, she kept a record of everything that was happening in the diary she received for her 13th birthday. Two years later, her family was found in the living quarters where they were hiding and sent to concentration camps. Anne died of typhus at age 15 in March 1945, a few weeks before British soldiers liberated the camp where she was being held....

As we bridge the gap between 2013 and 2014, here are thoughts on the National League West, as composed while listening to Fall Out Boy's album "Save Rock and Roll," clearly titled with the same thinking behind the idea that the Arizona Diamondbacks could have saved baseball by preventing the Los Angeles Dodgers from swimming in their pool. Speaking of the Diamondbacks, the first song on "Save Rock and Roll" is titled "The Phoenix," and the first few notes sound like they could be played over a highlight of Mark Trumbo blasting a ball into the left field bleachers....

Madison Bumgarner and Brandon Crawford provided a powerful lesson on the difference during the National League wild-card game.

We’ve decided to fade the ace. You really can’t play a lineup with him without playing three or four of the cheaper Brewers’ hitters, which sort of defeats the point of playing Scherzer. There’s also no real point to playing Woodruff, so we’re going with majority Nationals hitters in a game that Washington should have more success hitting the ball. (Update: Brian Dozier, who was our captain, isn’t starting and has been removed from the lineup....

On Tuesday we told you about how he tied an MLB record by hitting his fifth playoff home run in as many games. No way he’d go yard in six consecutive postseason games, right? Wrong. All wrong. Shame on you for ever doubting Murph.

Beginning with this afternoon’s Game 3, the Giants will play the next three at AT&T Park. Tim Hudson, making his first postseason start past the divisional round, is a -127 favorite over veteran John Lackey with a total set at 7 UNDER -115. Lackey is 7-5 with a 2.92 ERA in 20 postseason appearances, including the 2002 World Series when he intentionally walked Barry Bonds four times over three appearances....

Despite what you may have heard or read to the contrary on the ol’ interwebs, Reyes’ feat barely qualifies as, well, a feat. Maybe a feat of his feet, or foot. More on that in a minute.

The responsibility to hold Trump and those who conspired with him accountable falls to one man alone: Attorney General Merrick Garland. Just as with Special Counsel Robert Mueller before him, tens of millions of Americans are now anxiously following Garland’s every word in hopes that, for the first time, someone will finally hold Trump accountable for his actions and stand up to protect our democracy and the rule of law....

Bekah Seupule, or @bekahseupule, uploaded the video to TikTok, where it received more than 848,000 views and 1,200 comments since Tuesday, with many users questioning why the drive-thrus exist if they are serving only soda. “Are drive-thru soda shops a thing in your state??? Or is this just a Utah thing?” the caption of the video read. In the video, Seupule explains that these soda drive-thrus are common around Utah....

The order, in the form of a preliminary injunction, was first sought in December by the Firearms Policy Coalition, a non-profit gun-rights group, in addition to industry plaintiffs. While Commonwealth Court Judge P. Kevin Brobson’s ruling restraints the state from requiring background checks on firearms precursor sales, it left open the possibility that Attorney General Joshua Shapiro and the Pennsylvania State Police could enforce such a policy in the future....

Six Super League matches were played on Wednesday, the 13th round of the 2017 season. 13 goals were scored in those six matches but wins for the top three means that the table remains the same while things are getting tighter at the foot of the table.

This defeat hit hard, primarily because it was supposed to be different this time. Juventus were supposed to win this time. They didn’t. They lost. Again. The seventh time in nine European Cup finals. The fifth in a row. Perhaps we shouldn’t have been surprised by Real Madrid’s 4-1 victory over the Bianconeri. Ronaldo double seals Real triumph After all, the side with the worst record in European Cup finals had gone up against the side with the best record in European Cup finals....

The streets, plazas,bars and restaurants around the Orioles’ downtown ballpark weren’t nearly as busy as they would be for a normal weekday afternoon game. But at the same time, the area was not nearly as deserted as a city on lockdown would be expected to be. There weren’t many cars but plenty of pedestrians, many passing the ballpark on the way to the Inner Harbor — where there were plenty of police and National Guard on the first day after the first overnight curfew....

Hirving Lozano’s first-half goal condemned Germany to their first opening defeat at a World Cup since 1982, raising the pressure on the defending champions ahead of clashes against Sweden and South Korea. The last two world champions, Italy and Spain, have both exited the World Cup at the group stages in the defence of their crowns and defeat for Joachim Low’s side against Sweden on Saturday could bring a premature end to their campaign in Russia....

Suarez has scored only twice for Barca this season in six appearances, the fifth goal in a 5-0 win at home to Espanyol and the third in a 3-0 victory at Girona on Saturday - both matches that were already won. Fans have grown frustrated as chances have come and gone for the Uruguay striker - opportunities he would have buried earlier in his Camp Nou career. Even though there is plenty of optimism following seven straight wins for Barca in La Liga and the Champions League, the centre-forward’s form is one concern for the Blaugrana at the moment....

The disaster, which killed 10 of the 1,500 aboard and injured 65, was New York’s worst maritime accident in generations. Authorities quickly ruled out strong winds or mechanical malfunction as the cause, and trained their attention on the man at the wheel, Assistant Capt. Richard Smith. The 55-year-old veteran pilot apparently lost control well before reaching berth. “He was slumped in his captain’s chair, phased out but not totally blacked out,” said Michael McMahon, a New York city council member from Staten Island....

That's what makes this whole ordeal with now former Oregon tight end Colt Lyerla so intriguing.
