Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:38:47 GMT

MUNICH (AP) — Bayern Munich has handed experienced forward Thomas Müller a one-year contract extension through to the end of the 2024-25 season, putting him within sight of the club’s all-time appearance record.The new deal has the 34-year-old Müller in line to mark a quarter of a century at the club he joined at the age of 10.“He’s a leader both on and off the pitch, always a role model and incredibly valuable for the entire team,” Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund said in a statement. “Thomas pushes every team with his open and positive manner on and off the pitch. The way he plays is extremely clever, for the team, and he’s very versatile in where he can play. Thomas is also almost never injured, always there — just quality and reliability personified.”Müller’s contract was last renewed in May 2022 and had been due to run out at the end of this season. The one-year extension follows a similar deal handed to goalkeeper Manuel Neuer last month after his re...

Long losing streaks are uncomfortable for NBA players. It can be part of their pro indoctrination

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:38:47 GMT

Victor Wembanyama has adjusted to many things — food, culture, double teams — since the top pick’s arrival with the San Antonio Spurs.There’s just no getting accustomed to all the losing.Pick an NBA player’s name, any name, and they’re not hard-wired for skids. Players like Wembanyama have typically always been on winning teams before coming to the league, not ones that stack up defeats at historic rates. For Wembanyama, along with youngsters like Cade Cunningham and Ausar Thompson in Detroit and Bilal Coulibaly of Washington, losing has become part of their NBA education.Misery does love company, and the Pistons, who lost their 24th straight game Monday night, have some in the Spurs and Wizards. Despite the presence of Wembanyama, the Spurs have dropped 19 of 20, while the Wizards are in the midst of losing 17 of 19.“Sometimes, you’ll be in a game and maybe think about the losing streak and causes you to do a little extra or just do something you wouldn’t no...

At 20-5, Timberwolves insist that they’re just getting started

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:38:47 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — Mike Conley remembers exactly how many games it took him to realize that these Minnesota Timberwolves might be a real contender this season.That would be zero.It was back at the first team meeting in the fall — before any games — when Conley told the Timberwolves what he thought they were capable of. So far, Conley is looking prophetic: The Wolves woke up Tuesday at 20-5, tied with Boston for the NBA’s best record.It’s the first time a Wolves team has ever been atop the league 25 games into a season. That’s not the ultimate goal, of course, but it speaks to that potential Conley saw months ago.“I’m not going to lie: I told these guys at our first team meeting that man, I’m blessed to be around a team like this,” said Conley, the Wolves’ oldest player at 36 and still chasing what would be a first championship in his 17th year in the league. “I said before we played a game this year, ‘You guys, you don’t understand how good we can be.

This is the safest small town in Colorado: report

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:38:47 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – Small towns have a reputation for tight-knit communities, charm and safety. At least one in every state lives up to the last part of the stereotype, an updated analysis finds. MoneyGeek, a personal finance site, had researchers analyze last year's FBI crime data of smaller towns and cities where the population is between 30,000 and 100,000. They used the crime data to calculate the cost of crime in each area.The cost of crime includes impacts to victims, like the loss of stolen property and medical bills, MoneyGeek explained, as well as the cost to the justice system. Violent crimes typically result in a higher cost than nonviolent crimes, MoneyGeek said. What are the most common crimes in Denver and Colorado? Many of the safest small communities, according to last year's crime data, are found in the Northeast. Monroe Township, a New Jersey community about 50 miles from Manhattan, ranked No. 1 thanks to its low property crime and even lower violent crime rate. In the N...

Justice Sandra Day O’Connor funeral eulogies include President Joe Biden, Chief Justice John Roberts

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:38:47 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, an Arizona native and consistent voice of moderate conservatism as the first woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, is being memorialized in funeral services Tuesday.President Joe Biden and Chief Justice John Roberts are scheduled to speak at the funeral held at Washington National Cathedral. O’Connor retired from the high court in 2006 after more than two decades, and died Dec. 1 at age 93.O’Connor was nominated in 1981 by President Ronald Reagan. A rancher’s daughter who was largely unknown on the national scene until her appointment, she would come to be referred to by commentators as the nation’s most powerful woman.O’Connor wielded considerable influence on the nine-member court, generally favoring states in disputes with the federal government and often siding with police when they faced claims of violating people’s rights. Her impact could perhaps best be seen, though, on the court’s rulings on abortion. She twi...
