For much of the 90 minutes it felt like another one of those games for Manchester City this season. It would have led to questions about their summer recruitment too, with right-back Kyle Walker culpable for both Newcastle goals and Mateo Kovacic largely ineffective in the park.

Kathy Hochul announced Saturday. Hochul and other officials said they were making the change for safety’s sake. “We want our Bills to win, but we don’t want 60,000 to 70,000 people traveling to the football game in what’s going to be horrible conditions,” Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz sa

MELBOURNE, Australia — Canadian men’s tennis was plagued by injuries in 2023. But as the 2024 season begins, Félix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov have both been pronounced — if not good as new — at least good to go for their first-round matches at the Australian Open Monday.
