Haley spoke at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s (RJC) Annual Leadership Meeting on Saturday and said: “We have to look in the mirror. The Republican Party has lost the popular vote in the last seven out of eight presidential elections. That’s saying something. We’re behind the times. And we have to be honest with ourselves. Joe Biden turns 80-years-old tomorrow. Happy birthday Mr. President, but it’s time for a younger generation to lead across the board....

Jokic, the two-time reigning MVP, has agreed to a supermax deal, worth five years and $264 million. The deal is the richest in NBA history. Jokic is due $32.5 million next year from his original deal, so this new extension will kick in following the conclusion of the 2022-23 NBA season.

As Winnipeg skated out onto the Bell MTS Place ice for pregame warmups, Ehlers was not among his teammates — an unexpected absence after the winger practiced in full Thursday morning. Matt Hendricks took his place in the lineup, while Bryan Little slotted into Ehlers’ usual spot alongside Paul Stastny and Patrik Laine. None of it mattered and won’t, at least not in the scope of this series. The Jets finished off the Wild with ease 5-0, clinching the city of Winnipeg’s first playoff series in 31 years....

According to multiple reports , the school and Mack are working toward a separation agreement that could be reached Wednesday. Mack was suspended for the first six games of this season for violating school guidelines during an investigation of former assistant coach Dino Gaudio. Louisville also is working with an interim athletic director in Josh Heird, who replaced Vince Tyra in December. The school also does not have a full-time president....

Still, the San Francisco 49ers’ 27-6 coast over the Redskins on Monday night is exactly what Kaepernick, the offense and coach Jim Harbaugh needed. It’s all they’ll need the rest of the season as they fight to make the playoffs. If nothing else, they proved that they can win games not in spite of the unpredictable quarterback, but because of him. As it was pointed out earlier Monday in an analysis of Kaepernick and opposing quarterback Robert Griffin III, when Kaepernick has wide receiver Anquan Boldin and tight end Vernon Davis healthy and at their peak, he leads a dangerous, multidimensional attack....

Some of the announcements involved updates to already-released games like Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Pokémon Sword and Shield and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. However, certain highly anticipated Nintendo games, like the re-release of the first Xenoblade Chronicles and the sequel to Bravely Default, received either release dates or news updates. And there were also a few random game reveals, like the release of a Star Wars Podracing game....

America will have him to kick around for generations to come; there are still more than 3,000 hours of White House tapes to be released, the next batch in October. No other postwar president is likely to cast such a long shadow into the new century. There will be the JFK of myth, LBJ’s triumphs and tragedies and the Reagan enigma, but as the years go on we will always return to the parable of Richard Nixon....

Ian Schweizer, 38, was charged Wednesday with domestic violence after accusations by his partner and is being held at the Keogh-Dwyer Correctional Institute, according to an inmate record.

SAN FRANCISCO — It’s been a strange Game 5 of the NLCS between the Giants and Cardinals, so here is a halftime report, because this game is so odd, that baseball has halftime now. OK, this was written through 4 1/2 innings out of the scheduled nine.

Woodruff was the first pitcher out of Milwaukee’s bullpen Friday in Game 1 of the NL Championship Series and was expected to go multiple innings.

Despite both lineups batting .255 or less for the season, and several key members from those previous four seasons gone, the city name stitched across the chest of each player is a brand that has become known for great baseball and doing things a certain way. They are mentally better than all the other NL teams and nowhere has that edge been more apparent than in the NLDS, where the favored Nationals and Dodgers were disposed of....

Or so the NFL would want you believe. The league on Thursday announced that it’s teaming up with Canadian entertainment spectacular Cirque du Soleil to create a 40,000-square foot, four-story visual extravaganza in the heart of New York’s Times Square. The exhibit will be some kind of innovative multimedia monstrosity, set to start blowing fans’ minds in the fall of 2017.

The story of Dolezal taking on a black identity is quite different than what transpired with Latino players who entered the segregated leagues of U.S. professional baseball during the Jim Crow era. But the plight of Latinos in Jim Crow baseball continues to be misconstrued by the insistence on telling the American tale of race as one about black and white. This recounting of race in terms of black and white does not fully capture the experience of Latinos as being racialized as different from white Americans as well as distinct from African-Americans....

People who just read the tweet of the source report and saw “tests” may have thought that this is a “Get Baseball Out of Quarantine” card. It is not. MORE: Trump says he’s tired of watching old games To keep everyone’s attention here, let’s be brief: This is not a backdoor attempt to resume baseball activities this month by replacing the actual COVID-19 test with something else. “MLB did not partner with us for any selfish reason to get their sport back sooner....

Earl Thomas and the Seahawks drew first blood in Sunday’s Week 8 game in New Orleans, as the All-Pro safety returned a Mark Ingram fumble 34 yards for a touchdown.
