Eichel, Matthews, Tkachuk Bros. Headline USA's Roster for 2025 NHL 4 Nations Face-OffI love content creator Jon Gruden. I'd just like to open with that. He's an electric factory. His TikTok brand is unbelievable. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, do yourself a favor and look it up. He is an incredible follow these days. Nobody is doing it on the internet like Jon Gruden is doing it, truly. That being said, he fired off a take this week that is... well, not the sharpest. And it got a lot of run, so lets break where he went wrong, and what substantive lesson we can learn from it. Coach Gruden decided he wanted to show some love to three of the league's best running backs toting the rock this season: Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, and Josh Jacobs. And seeing as all three were free agents this past spring and are now thriving with their new teams, Jon fell into a textbook causation-correlation trap: The top three free agent running backs last year were Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, and Josh Jacobs. They all switched teams and their new teams are 25-9. The teams they left are 7-26. Running backs matter. pic.twitter.com/YoXq3QXlgo It's true, the Titans, Raiders, and Giants are a combined 7-26 this year. That's a 0.212 win percentage. Not good! Meanwhile the Eagles, Ravens, and Packers are 25-9 (0.736). Much, much better. But, obviously, the idea that the transfer of these running backs has been the difference is completely absurd. That should be obvious without having to look anything up, frankly. These are players who went from bad teams to good teams! But let's put some numbers on it anyways. Last season, these three backs still played for the bad teams in question. They are bad this year without those players, and newsflash: they were bad last year with them too. 20-31 (0.392) was the combined record of the Titans, Raiders, and Giants when Henry, Jacobs, and Barkley still played for them. The teams they now play for, the Eagles, Ravens, and Packers, were a combined 33-18 (0.647) without them in 2023. All three made the playoffs! What does this tell us? It's not that running backs don't matter at all , because they clearly do. The Eagles, Ravens, and Packers all have the ability to really lean on their opponents in the second halves of games and snuff them out. When you're a good team who plays from ahead regularly, that's a very valuable ability to possess! But that's the key: being a good team . An elite, volume running back is a finishing piece. They're a flourish. They're a guy you add when you're at or near the apex of your team-building cycle. And perhaps more importantly, they're a guy you resist paying when you're at or near the bottom of the cycle. That's precisely what went on here. The teams that let their volume backs walk are better off for it because of where they are as a team. And the teams who signed up for the expensive volume backs are better for it because of where they are as a team. This is roster management 101.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Georgia's Dasha Vidmanova and Columbia's Michael Zheng won NCAA singles tennis titles on Sunday. Vidmanova, a 21-year-old senior from the Czech Republic, beat DJ Bennett of Auburn 6-3, 6-3 for the Bulldogs' first women's singles championship since 2010. Zheng, a 20-year-old junior from Montville, New Jersey, beat Ozan Baris of Michigan State 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 to become the first Ivy League player to collect an NCAA men's singles crown since 1922. The final between Zheng and Baris was the first men's NCAA tennis singles final between two Americans since 2017. ___ More AP tennis: The Associated PressTulsa fires coach Kevin Wilson a day after blowout loss to South Florida

Nephew sentenced for murdering aunt in East Valley when he was 14Article content Essentially, the Maple Leafs have the same record after 20 games as they’ve had most of the past five regular seasons. Recommended Videos They have 26 points right now. Last year they had 25. The year before they had 25. The year before that, 27. All of it looks basically the same in the standings. But these Leafs have a different look to them and a different feel. They’re better in goal than they’ve been in years. They’re deeper on defence. They’re less prone to individual mistakes. And slowly they’re adapting to Craig Berube’s north-south, old school style of hockey – no longer circling desperately to retain possession of the puck – and it makes them look tougher and harder to play against. It is still a long time until April. Three quarters of a regular season to go. But the win the other against Vegas, a tight 1-0 game that became a 3-0 win, is the kind of maturity general manager Brad Treliving and coach Berube are searching for from the team. Learning to win tight games is important for this group. Learning to win tight games against quality opponents, just as important. With the on-ice leadership of Chris Tanev a clear factor, the superb play of Mitch Marner and William Nylander with Auston Matthews out with a mystery injury, has been huge, and former captain John Tavares competing with he kind of verve he’s rarely shown before, there are more reasons for optimism as the first quarter of the NHL season passes than there have been in most of the Brendan Shanahan years. With Matthews still out, Max Domi, Max Pacioretty, David Kampf, and Matthew Knies all injured, and Ryan Reaves suspended, the Leafs will play Sunday night against Utah without six 12 regular forwards. That’s a kick few teams can survive. But the 6-1 won-loss record with Matthews missing is a sign of growth that has to be appreciated. Even if the standings, right now, don’t look a whole lot different from other years. Definition of desperate: Team Canada has expanded its search for three goaltenders as the deadline approaches in early December for the Four Nations tournament in Montreal and Boston. The new flavour of the day is Joey Daccord of the Seattle Kraken, who isn’t even a Canadian. He’s from outside Boston. His father was born in Canada. His mother is from Switzerland. But they can manipulate the rules, as the Canadian Olympic Committee has done on numerous occasions, to get him in. So it’s probably Daccord and St.. Louis netminder Jordan Binnington and one of Adin Hill, Sam Montembeault, Cam Talbot, Logan Thompson, and Mackenzie Blackwood as the third goalie. I’m told there’s no interest in Edmonton’s Stuart Skinner. The truth on the third goalie, no matter who it is: It’s a short tournament as will be the Olympics one year later. If you need to play your third goalie, it means you’re not contending ... The GMs for the Four Nations event are not happy about the Dec. 4 deadline to name their roster. They’d like more time, six more weeks maybe, but they’re not going to get it. The date was negotiated by the NHL and NHL Players’ Association, ostensibly to give the majority of players who aren’t involved with the event time to book time to book their vacations ... That wasn’t Auston Matthews ’s first trip to Germany to see the mystery doctor about his mystery injury. He previously went in the summer, along with friend and rival Connor McDavid. If I’m guessing on the Matthews injury, I’m guessing back ... When Shanahan took over as Leafs president a decade ago he met with each of the newspapers and television stations individually to talk about his open approach to building a hockey team. The Leafs, he said, would be more available and more accessible than ever before. It was a new era. And right after he said that, the Leafs cut off interviews with assistant coaches, scouts and front office personnel, hid their players more often than any team in hockey, and avoided the truth as often as possible. The Leafs now operate like a political party, attempting to control the media rather than allow it to do its job. That wasn’t the way Shanahan behaved as a player at all. He was open and available. Somehow he’s left all that behind ... There should be an NHL rule. Leafs must play on Saturday night. It throws my weekend off completely when they no Saturday game. Tom Henke had 217 saves with the Blue Jays, the most in team history. No one will ever come close to that number again. Henke should be on the Level of Excellence at Rogers Centre ... There is nothing wrong with the Blue Jays walking away from hometown boy Jordan Romano so long as they find a replacement for him who is better. That’s the challenge. And you’re trusting Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins to do that? ... There was a time when the Raptors didn’t want homegrown players on their roster. They thought it would be a distraction. It was no distraction for Romano in his time pitching for the Jays. He embraced being the hometown guy. He loved talking about it. He welcomed the challenge. Not only will it be difficult to replace Romano the pitcher, third overall in saves in history, it will just as difficult to replace Romano the person from the Blue Jays clubhouse ... By the way, the top Canadian on the Raptors, R.J. Barrett is playing the best basketball of his life right now ... Raptors are caught in an unusual squeeze of sorts. The better they play, the more games they win, the more they damage their draft position. The best thing for the Raptors: Find a way to lose close games and excite the fanbase all at the same time. Players won’t naturally tank. That’s not how athletes work. But management can help push in one direction or the other ... So if you’re Masai Ujiri, what do you do – keep Jacob Poeltl long-term or trade him now when his value is about as high as it will ever be ... And yes, that was Raptors general manager Bobby Webster at the Argos Grey Cup celebration at Maple Leaf Square, wearing an Argos baseball cap. This is all part of the new MLSE: All teams supporting each other ...This Vince Carter celebration has gone just a little too far. There are Carter T-shirts for sale, Carter jerseys, and the tournament court is in Carter’s colours. The Raptors are celebrating mediocrity: Carter played 418 games for the Raptors, winning one playoff series, and never finishing higher than 10th in MVP voting, the team averaged 44 wins a season with Carter. Pretty low bar for all that’s being spent on this ... Kawhi Leonard played 84 games for the Raptors. They won a championship in his only season. He won the Finals MVP. The team won 58 of the games he played in. He was won and done, playing just under .700 basketball here. Now, that’s something worth selling T-shirts and retiring jerseys about ...If you combine the Jets and the Giants, could you make one competent NFL team? Or are they still lacking at quarterback? If the vote for the Hart Trophy was taken today, Kirill Kaprizov of the Minnesota Wild would win the NHL’s MVP. Which is something completely new. No Minnesota player, not a North Star or a Wild, has won the Hart Trophy or even been close. Bobby Smith did finish 10th in Hart voting 42 years ago. So there is that ... The usual contenders around Kaprizov through the first quarter of the season: The regulars, Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Connor Hellebuyck, and Nikita Kucherov. And Connor McDavid, nine points behind the scoring leader, hasn’t really gotten going yet ... I don’t see how you find a place for veterans John Tavares or Steven Stamkos on Team Canada much as you sentimentally want to. Tavares can’t play centre ahead of MacKinnon, McDavid, Sidney Crosby, Brayden Point, Sam Bennett or Mark Scheifele. And Stamkos can’t play wing ahead of Sam Reinhart, Marner, Travis Konecny, Alexis Lafreniere, Anthony Cirelli, or even those who might not get picked like Wyatt Johnston, Matt Barzal or Zach Hyman. Be interesting to see what Canada does with Brad Marchand, who was an early pick for the roster, but hasn’t played to form in this rather disappointing Bruins season ... What a time to need a coach in hockey: Joel Quenneville is available. The recently fired Jim Montgomery is available. The soon to be fired, Mike Sullivan, will likely be available. So those who are waiting for jobs, like Gerard Gallant or Jay Woodcroft or Bruce Boudreau, might be waiting for a while ... Outside of David Pastrnak, do the Bruins have a single dangerous forward? And the coach gets fired because the roster isn’t good enough ... What to do with Tavares in the future: Bring in a $7 million centre. Pay Tavares $4 million a year. That means you’ll be his $11 million on two centres instead of one ... Best athletic performers I’ve ever watched live, in no particular order: Bobby Orr, Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Connor McDavid, Patrick Mahomes, LeBron James, Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, Mike Trout, Sugar Ray Leonard, Barry Bonds, Usain Bolt, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, John Elway, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Steph Curry, Guy Lafleur, Crosby, Barry Sanders, Mario Lemieux. And I’m leaving out way too man. What you don’t see much of in hockey today — pencil thin goaltenders. Dustin Wolf weighs 166 pounds soaking wet. He’s 8-2-1 as a rookie with the Calgary Flames , the early runaway leader for the Calder Trophy. The Flames have 25 points after 20 games, way more than expected and the same numbers as the Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers and defending President’s Trophy-winning New York Rangers ... An NHL coach on why so many teams are great one night, not so great the next: “You can’t do it every night over the season. Almost every team drifts in and out during the season. All of them except Carolina, really. And this year, Winnipeg.” ... Canadian tennis in decline: Felix Auger-Aliassime, once ranked sixth in the world, will finish this year at 29. Denis Shapovalov, once as high as No. 10, is now at 56. The almost always-injured Milos Raonic and Bianca Andreescu, both former Top 10 players, are not in the Top 100 anymore. Leylah Annie Fernandez will end the year at 31st after a high of 13th ... How and when did 50-yard field goals become chip shots? Like when did this happen? ... So Joel Embiid seems more concerned about who leaked the fact the Philadelphia 76ers had a players-only meeting to discuss Joel Embiid than he is with the fact the Sixers are 3-12 to start the season. Nick Nurse might be operating on borrowed time in Philly ... If personnel man John Murphy is leaving the Argos, and that seems apparent, then the club would be smart to avoid having Grey Cup coach Ryan Dinwiddie serve as general manager. Dinwiddie would like the GM job. But most coaches can’t seem to pull off the double anymore – there’s too much work to be done in either one of those jobs to stay on top of everything ... Grey Cup MVP Nick Arbuckle can stay with the Argos next season behind Chad Kelly but the team can’t afford, salary cap wise, to pay him much. Odds are, Arbuckle will play elsewhere in the CFL next season then return to the Argos later to coach with Dinwiddie ... Do you become a legend if you beat a legend in the Grey Cup twice? The championship scorecard in head-to-head matches: Coach Dinwiddie 2, Mike O’Shea 0. O’Shea is far and away and the most successful coach in the CFL ... How hard is it for a Canadian to rush for 1,000 yards in the NFL? Well, it’s only happened once. Ever. Thirty-eight years ago. Rueben Mayes of North Battleford, Sask, ran for 1,353 yards with the New Orleans Saints as a rookie. Since then, nobody has. But here’s Chuba Hubbard, from outside Edmonton, close to becoming the second Canadian to hit the 1,000-yard mark. He’s at 811 yards in Carolina with seven games to play ... Happy birthday to Oscar Robertson (86), Jeremy Swayman (26), Billie Jean King (81), Arland Bruce (47), Justin Turner (40) Jack McKeon (94), Eddie Johnston (89), Saku Koivu (50), Todd Brooker (65), Asafa Powell (42), Keith Primeau (53) and Gabriel Landeskog (32) ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan's defense of the national championship has fallen woefully short. The Wolverines started the season ranked No. 9 in the AP Top 25, making them the third college football team since 1991 to be ranked worse than seventh in the preseason poll after winning a national title. Michigan (6-5, 4-4 Big Ten) failed to meet those modest expectations, barely becoming eligible to play in a bowl and putting the program in danger of losing six or seven games for the first time since the Brady Hoke era ended a decade ago. The Wolverines potentially can ease some of the pain with a win against rival and second-ranked Ohio State (10-1, 7-1, No. 2 CFP) on Saturday in the Horseshoe, but that would be a stunning upset. Ohio State is a 21 1/2-point favorite, according to the BetMGM Sportsbook, and that marks just the third time this century that there has been a spread of at least 20 1/2 points in what is known as "The Game." Michigan coach Sherrone Moore doesn't sound like someone who is motivating players with an underdog mentality. "I don't think none of that matters in this game," Moore said Monday. "It doesn't matter the records. It doesn't matter anything. The spread, that doesn't matter." How did Michigan end up with a relative mess of a season on the field, coming off its first national title since 1997? Winning it all with a coach and star player contemplating being in the NFL for the 2024 season seemed to have unintended consequences for the current squad. The Wolverines closed the College Football Playoff with a win over Washington on Jan. 8; several days later quarterback J.J. McCarthy announced he was skipping his senior season; and it took more than another week for Jim Harbaugh to bolt to coach the Los Angeles Chargers. In the meantime, most quality quarterbacks wanting to transfer had already enrolled at other schools and Moore was left with lackluster options. Davis Warren beat out Alex Orji to be the team's quarterback for the opener and later lost the job to Orji only to get it back again. No matter who was under center, however, would've likely struggled this year behind an offensive line that sent six players to the NFL. The Wolverines lost one of their top players on defense, safety Rod Moore, to a season-ending injury last spring and another one, preseason All-America cornerback Will Johnson, hasn't played in more than a month because of an injury. The Buckeyes are not planning to show any mercy after losing three straight in the series. "We're going to attack them," Ohio State defensive end Jack Sawyer said. "We know they're going to come in here swinging, too, and they've still got a good team even though the record doesn't indicate it. This game, it never matters what the records are." While a win would not suddenly make the Wolverines' season a success, it could help Moore build some momentum a week after top-rated freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood flipped his commitment from LSU to Michigan. "You come to Michigan to beat Ohio," said defensive back Quinten Johnson, intentionally leaving the word State out when referring to the rival. "That's one of the pillars of the Michigan football program. "It doesn't necessarily change the fact of where we are in the season, but it definitely is one of the defining moments of your career here at Michigan."

Segall Bryant & Hamill LLC Invests $2.27 Million in Steelcase Inc. (NYSE:SCS)NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes rose to more records Wednesday after tech companies talked up how much of a boost they’re getting from the artificial-intelligence boom. The S&P 500 climbed 0.6% to add to what’s set to be one of its best years of the millennium. It’s the 56th time the index has hit an all-time high this year after climbing in 11 of the last 12 days . The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 308 points, or 0.7%, while the Nasdaq composite added 1.3% to its own record. Salesforce helped pull the market higher after delivering stronger revenue for the latest quarter than analysts expected, though its profit fell just short. CEO Mark Benioff highlighted the company’s artificial-intelligence offering for customers, saying “the rise of autonomous AI agents is revolutionizing global labor, reshaping how industries operate and scale.” The stock price of the company, which helps businesses manage their customers, jumped 11%. Marvell Technology leaped even more after delivering better results than expected, up 23.2%. CEO Matt Murphy said the semiconductor supplier is seeing strong demand from AI and gave a forecast for profit in the upcoming quarter that topped analysts’ expectations. All the optimistic talk helped Nvidia , the company whose chips are powering much of the move into AI, rally 3.5%. It was the strongest force pushing upward on the S&P 500 by far. They helped offset an 8.9% drop for Foot Locker, which reported profit and revenue that fell short of analysts’ expectations. CEO Mary Dillon said the company is taking a more cautious view, and it cut its forecasts for sales and profit this year. Dillon pointed to how keen customers are for discounts and how soft demand has been outside of Thanksgiving week and other key selling periods. Retailers overall have offered mixed signals about how resilient U.S. shoppers can remain. Their spending has been one of the main reasons the U.S. economy has avoided a recession that earlier seemed inevitable after the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates to crush inflation. But shoppers are now contending with still-high prices and a slowing job market . This week’s highlight for Wall Street will be Friday’s jobs report from the U.S. government, which will show how many people employers hired and fired last month. A narrower report released Wednesday morning suggested employers in the private sector increased their payrolls by less last month than economists expected. Hiring in manufacturing was the weakest since the spring, according to Nela Richardson, chief economist at ADP. The report strengthened traders’ expectations that the Fed will cut its main interest rate again when it meets in two weeks. The Fed began easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high in September, hoping to offer more support for the job market. The central bank had appeared set to continue cutting rates into next year, but the election of Donald Trump has scrambled Wall Street’s expectations somewhat. Trump’s preference for higher tariffs and other policies could lead to higher inflation , which could alter the Fed’s plans . Fed Chair Jerome Powell said Wednesday that the central bank can afford to cut rates cautiously because inflation has slowed from its peak two years ago and the economy remains sturdy. A separate report on Wednesday said health care, finance and other businesses in the U.S. services sector are continuing to grow, but not by as much as before and not by as much as economists expected. One respondent from the construction industry told the survey from the Institute for Supply Management that the Fed’s rate cuts haven't pulled down mortgage rates as much as hoped. Plus, “the unknown effect of tariffs clouds the future.” In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.18% from 4.23% late Tuesday. On Wall Street, Campbell’s sank 6.2% for one of the S&P 500’s sharper losses despite increasing its dividend and reporting a stronger profit than analysts expected. Its revenue fell short of Wall Street’s expectations, and the National Football League’s Washington Commanders hired Campbell’s CEO Mark Clouse as its team president. Gains for airline stocks helped offset that drop after JetBlue Airways said it saw stronger bookings for travel in November and December following the presidential election. It also said it’s benefiting from lower fuel prices, as well as lower costs due to improved on-time performance. JetBlue jumped 8.3%, while Southwest Airlines climbed 3.5%. All told, the S&P 500 rose 36.61 points to 6,086.49. The Dow climbed 308.51 to 45,014.04, and the Nasdaq composite rallied 254.21 to 19,735.12. In stock markets abroad, South Korea’s Kospi sank 1.4% following a night full of drama in Seoul. President Yoon Suk Yeol was facing possible impeachment after he suddenly declared martial law on Tuesday night, prompting troops to surround the parliament. He revoked the martial law declaration six hours later. In the crypto market , bitcoin climbed near $99,000 after Trump said he would nominate Paul Atkins , a cryptocurrency advocate, to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission.

US stocks surge to records, shrugging off upheaval in South Korea, FranceCHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Reniya Kelly had 18 points and six assists, Maria Gakdeng added 16 points and nine rebounds, and No. 16 North Carolina beat 14th-ranked Kentucky 72-53 on Thursday night in the SEC/ACC Challenge. North Carolina opened the game on a 14-4 run, capped by Alyssa Ustby’s fifth 3-pointer of the season. The Tar Heels led 36-25 at halftime after holding the Wildcats to 36% shooting. North Carolina only made one field goal in the opening five minutes of the third quarter as Kentucky got as close as seven points. But The Tar Heels made five field goals in the final five minutes to take a 50-39 lead into the fourth. Kentucky’s opening four baskets of the fourth were from 3-point range to get within 60-51 with 5:52 left on Dazia Lawrence’s basket off a nice assist from Georgia Amoore on an inbounds play. North Carlina sealed it by scoring the next six points — all from the free-throw line. Ustby scored 13 points with eight rebounds for North Carolina (8-1). The Tar Heels outscored Kentucky 42-10 in the paint. Lawrence scored 17 points and Amelia Hassett had 13 points and 13 rebounds for Kentucky (7-1). Amoore added 10 points and eight assists and Clara Strack, averaging a team-high 18.3 points per game, was held to four points on 2-of-10 shooting. North Carolina stays at home to play Coppin State on Sunday. Kentucky returns home to face Queens University on Monday. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
