ABC News 

The Treasury Department Friday sanctioned more than three dozen Russian leaders and businesses as the Trump administration ramps up its pressure on Russia for what it calls its "worldwide malign activity." It's the latest step to punish Russia's President Vladimir Putin by a U.S. president who has talked of warmer relations with Moscow – and critics are split between praising it as a good first step or still not enough. In total, the Treasury Department announced sanctions on seven Russian oligarchs... Читать дальше...

MLS weekend open thread: Your guide to D.C. United’s bye week

Black And Red United 

Last week was nuts. Can Zlatan et al keep us entertained again?

D.C. United doesn’t have a game this weekend, which has to feel like a small mercy at this point. The Black-and-Red need this time on the training ground to get their act together, and for important players like Russell Canouse to get healthy and make a return to the lineup. Taking off this weekend to accommodate Toronto FC’s CONCACAF Champions League needs might actually be a blessing in disguise; United did not really need... Читать дальше...

Masked vigilantes play something resembling baseball in frigid temperatures

Let's Go Tribe 

It wasn’t your typical home opener in Cleveland.

It was the home opener; they brought out the giant flag and everything. But that doesn’t mean it was baseball as normal for the Cleveland Indians and Kansas City Royals.

You may have heard, it’s really cold right now. Whether you’re in Cleveland, Cleveland, or Cleveland, every city that matters is feeling the bitterness of baseball in early April. It was evident in the Cleveland Indians’ home opener, and it will likely last through most of their first homestand of the season. Читать дальше...



McGregor posts $50,000 bond, released after arraignment

Times Union 

NEW YORK (AP) — Cocksure and uncouth, Conor McGregor was never afraid to defy authority. He dressed in fur coats and swung chairs at news conferences, reaped the riches of his dalliance with boxing, and demanded his boss cut him an ownership stake in the MMA promotion that made him one of the sport's most notorious names. What McGregor wanted, McGregor got — in cash, championships, and living his best luxe life. After one more decisive victory in New York, McGregor scaled the UFC octagon and draped...

Resilient Spieth rallies, stays in contention at Masters

Times Union 

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Given Jordan Spieth's past experiences at Augusta National, there was no reason to panic. It was the front nine. It was the second round. It was nowhere near the worst he's been through at the Masters. So Spieth remained calm despite losing a two-shot lead on the first two holes. He excused it as typical "punches" from a daunting golf course in difficult conditions. He responded by making two birdies over the final six holes, helping him recover from the inauspicious start.
