SOUTHAMPTON, England (AP) — The chances of Tottenham returning to the Champions League next season are starting to look a bit slimmer after the team threw away a two-goal lead at last-place Southampton on Saturday.The chances of Antonio Conte returning to coach the team next season are looking even slimmer after the Italian tore into his players for being “selfish” and slammed the club for not having a winning mentality.After James Ward Prowse’s injury-time penalty earned Southampton a 3-3 draw in the Premier League, a despondent Conte responded by questioning his players’ attitude and accused them of not playing as a collective.“I’m not used to see this type of situation,” Conte said. “I see a lot of selfish players. And I don’t see a team.”Conte became known as a serial winner after leading both Juventus and Inter Milan to the Serie A title and Chelsea to the Premier League crown. But he is set to finish a second season at Tottenham without a trophy after the team went out of the ...

Bruins look like their old selves in 5-2 win over Wild

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:41:35 GMT

After baby-stepping their way back to their identity with their victory in Winnipeg on Thursday, the Bruins took a giant step on Saturday.Facing a Minnesota Wild team that had not lost in regulation in 14 games and was a point out of first place in the Central Division, the B’s were the better team in an entertaining, playoff-favored contest, taking a 5-2 win at Xcel Energy Center.Linus Ullmark, shaking off a rare so-so game in Chicago on Tuesday, was back to his standard, making 29 saves.There were no passengers in the B’s victory, including their video coaches, who challenged two Wild goals for offsides and were successful on both.The B’s took a 3-1 lead into the third and appeared to be in control of the game when Jake DeBrusk took a slashing penalty. Seconds later, Freddie Gaudreau made a nice pass from the corner to Oskar Sundqvist and the former Blue jammed it home at 7:17 to pull Minnesota to within a goal.But the B’s went back to work after that and r...

Mike Lupica: We need to slow the Super Bowl talk if desperate Jets land desperate Aaron Rodgers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:41:35 GMT

By now, we know all of the reasons why the Jets have to take this big swing with Aaron Rodgers. They’re hoping that he can do for them what Tom Brady did for the Bucs. And what Matthew Stafford did for the Rams. They know he has a lot more left than Peyton Manning did when the Broncos won their first Super Bowl since John Elway, even if Peyton didn’t have a whole lot to do with that by the end.At this point, even people in outer space know why the Jets are doing this, why they have to do it, as they attempt to become something more than a football irrelevancy, not just in the league, but just around here.But the adolescent idea that this is suddenly Super Bowl or bust for this particular Jets team just happens to be bananas, whether Rodgers is here for a year or two or even more than that.Start here, because it’s as good a place to start as any:Since Rodgers played in his one and only Super Bowl 12 years ago, he has gone 0-for-4 in NFC championship games, against S...

Bank failures spur anger in Congress, but no clear response

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:41:35 GMT

Bills were filed, hearings were planned and blame was cast as Congress reacted this past week to the abrupt failure of two banks. A look at what lawmakers are saying and planning as the fallout continues from the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.Quick legislative fixes unlikelyWhile President Joe Biden called Monday on Congress to strengthen the rules for banks to prevent future failures, lawmakers are divided on whether any legislation is needed.Some congressional leaders are skeptical that a closely divided Congress will act at all.“There’s people who are going to choose bills, but I cannot imagine that, with the hold banks have on Republican members of Congress, that we can pass anything significant,” said Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee.Republicans say the laws already in place were sufficient to prevent the bank failures, if only regulators had done their job by spotting obvious problems and direc...
