Not only will Liverpool’s next transfer kick off the Arne Slot era, it will also kick off the ‘head coach’ era at Anfield. Recruitment power has shifted away from the managerial hotseat, making the first addition of the summer doubly instructive. Returning to FSG as CEO of Football, Michael Edwards has been tasked with assembling a crack team. Julian Ward has also come back into the fold, along with David Woodfine, while Richard Hughes has been named sporting director. Collaborating with Slot, who will they land upon as the perfect transfer to mark this new start? One option would come with the added benefit of frustrating Chelsea, Manchester United…

Despite winning last weekend in Imola, Verstappen came close to being beaten by McLaren’s Lando Norris who finished less than a second behind him. Red Bull’s early advantage over their rivals appears to have been cut significantly over recent rounds. Verstappen suffered his first defeat in a race he finished in 2024 in Miami, where he was beaten by Norris. Although Verstappen managed to take pole position in Imola and hold off Norris over the closing laps, Verstappen expects a different dynamic this weekend in Monaco. “It’s a completely different track,” the Red Bull driver said. “I think looking at the…

The Atlanta Braves began their road trip with an uninspiring performance on Tuesday night, but recovered to win the next two games and secure a series win over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Atlanta is 29-18 on the season and are 6.0 games back of the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East. The Braves struggled with runners in scoring position throughout the series in Chicago but homered six times in the series. Marcell Ozuna homered in Wednesday’s win, but saw his 15-game hitting streak end Thursday. Atlanta got another complete game effort from Max Fried on Wednesday and then a shutout performance by AJ Smith-Shawver…

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Longtime Ravens punter Sam Koch retired Thursday and will join the Baltimore coaching staff as a special teams consultant. A 16-year veteran, Koch, 39, appeared in a franchise-record 256 regular-season games, 239 consecutively from 2006-20, also a team record. He was a member of Baltimore’s 2012 Super Bowl championship team, and appeared in 20 postseason games. A 2015 Pro Bowl selection who made the AP’s second-team All-Pro squad that season, Koch set franchise records in punts (1,168), punt yardage (52,868), career gross average (45.3), career net average (39.7) and punts inside the 20 (453). His…

It includes players who have played at least one game in the NFL regular season. The Dallas Cowboys franchise was founded in 1960 as an expansion team. The team has earned the most postseason appearances (28, which includes another league record of 54 postseason games, winning 32 of them), the most appearances in the NFC Championship Game (14), and the 2nd most Super Bowl appearances (8). The Cowboys have played for 10 NFL Championships and have won five, all five being Super Bowls.

NEW YORK — Watching Ronald Acuña Jr. and Matt Olson homer in the same game seemed commonplace while they were constructing two of the greatest seasons in Braves history last year. But there was certainly reason to take notice when they accounted for two of the three third-inning homers that propelled the Braves to a 4-2 win over the Mets on Friday night at Citi Field. Acuña’s monstrous shot was just his third homer of the year and Olson’s blast snapped the longest homerless drought of his career. “I was happy, especially knowing obviously that as hitters we’ve had our tough times,” Acuña said through an…

The New York Mets on Tuesday formally introduced their new manager Carlos Mendoza. Mendoza, 43, had served as the bench coach for the crosstown Yankees for the last four seasons, and he replaces the ousted Buck Showalter in the Mets’ dugout. While Mendoza has never managed at the major-league level, he did skipper at multiple levels of the Yankees’ farm system more than a decade ago. The Mets are a large-market franchise with a free-spending owner in Steve Cohen, and that means pressure and expectations. Those expectations were not met in 2023, as the Mets under Showalter sustained an 87-loss season despite running the…

NORTH PORT, Fla. — As Matt and Nicole Olson prepared for their wedding in November, there were already rumors about the possibility of him being Plan B if his hometown Braves didn’t re-sign Freddie Freeman. Olson was intrigued by the possibility and concerned it might become reality at an inopportune time. “My wife and I were joking for a while that it was going to happen as we were walking down the aisle,” Olson said. “[My agent] B.B. [Abbott] was going to be at the wedding and he was going to call it off and say, ‘We have some breaking…
