Leicester marked Van Nistelrooy’s first match in charge of the team by surging to a 3-1 win over Lopetegui's West Ham in the Premier League on Tuesday. Van Nistelrooy, the former Manchester United striker, is back in English soccer this time as a manager, with Leicester taking something of a gamble on the Dutchman after his brief and impressive spell as interim coach at United this season following Erik ten Hag's departure. He faces the tough task of keeping Leicester, one of the top candidates for relegation, in the top division. For that to happen, he’s likely to need goals from Jamie Vardy — and the 37-year-old former England international delivered immediately. Nine years after breaking Van Nistelrooy’s record for scoring in consecutive games, Vardy scored the first goal of the Dutchman’s tenure at Leicester by beating the offside trap and slotting home a finish with less than two minutes gone. Morocco midfielder Bilal El Khannouss supplied the pass for Vardy’s goal and scored himself with a low shot in the 61st minute to make it 2-0. Patson Daka added a third for Leicester in the 90th minute, before a stoppage-time consolation by West Ham substitute Niclas Füllkrug. “We are very happy with the new manager," El Khannouss said of Van Nistelrooy. “He arrived two days ago, and there’s a new dynamic in the group.” This dismal result for West Ham came three days after its 5-2 thrashing at home by Arsenal , which piled more pressure of Lopetegui early in the former Spain and Real Madrid coach's first season with the London club. West Ham's disgruntled traveling fans chanted "You’re getting sacked in the morning” toward Lopetegui during the second half — even if his team dominated large parts of the game but only had one goal to show from 31 shots on goal. West Ham has lost seven of its 14 games so far and is in 14th place in the 20-team league, one spot above Leicester. Crystal Palace won for just the second time in the league this season, beating relegation rival Ipswich 1-0 to pull clear of the bottom three. Jean-Philippe Mateta scored the goal in the 59th minute. Palace’s only other league victory was against Tottenham in October. While Ipswich stayed in next-to-last place, Palace moved three points above the relegation zone. Much of the focus ahead of the game was on the teams’ captains , Sam Morsy of Ipswich and Marc Guehi of Palace, during another round when the Premier League was celebrating LGBTQ+ inclusion in its campaign to promote equality and diversity. For the second straight game, Morsy chose against wearing a rainbow armband issued to the captain of each of the 20 teams in the league. He has made the decision “due to his religious beliefs,” Ipswich says. Guehi did wear the rainbow armband but defied Football Association rules by writing a religious message on the item. The message read “Jesus loves you” — using a heart sign instead of the word “loves.” During the match against Newcastle on Saturday, Guehi wrote “I love Jesus” — and was later contacted by the FA for acting in contravention of its regulations.

Why eggs have gotten so expensiveDecember 3 - San Jose State will face South Florida in the Hawaii Bowl, officials announced Tuesday. The contest will be held Dec. 24 on the Hawaii campus in Honolulu. The Spartans (7-5) of the Mountain West completed the regular season by beating neighbor Stanford 34-31 on Friday. San Jose State features star receiver Nick Nash, who leads the nation with 104 receptions, 1,382 receiving yards and 16 receiving touchdowns. The Spartans also played in the Hawaii Bowl last season, falling 24-14 to Coastal Carolina. South Florida (6-6) won four of its last six games, but lost 35-28 to fellow American Athletic Conference foe Rice on Saturday. "We are excited for the opportunity to compete in the Hawaii Bowl against a very good San Jose State team," Bulls coach Alex Golesh said in a news release. "Hawaii is a unique and beautiful destination that our players are excited to experience, and we look forward to productive bowl practices and a great game as we continue to build our program." --Western Michigan and South Alabama will meet in the Salute to Veterans Bowl at Montgomery, Ala., on Dec. 14. It will be the first contest of the bowl season. Western Michigan (6-6) gained bowl eligibility with a 26-18 victory over Eastern Michigan in Mid-American Conference play on Saturday. "This is a great opportunity for our football program and our university," Broncos coach Lance Taylor said in a news release. "South Alabama is a well-coached, physical team that will be a great test for our team." South Alabama (6-6) lost to Texas State 45-38 in Sun Belt play on Friday. The Jaguars have won four of their past six games. --Field Level Media Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles. , opens new tabControversial billionaire Elon Musk responded to speculation that MSNBC could be put up for sale , asking on Friday how much the cable news network would set him back. The Comcast media conglomerate announced Wednesday it planned to spin some of its NBCUniversal properties — including MSNBC, CNBC, USA, Oxygen and E! — into “a new publicly traded company.” The announcement prompted some social media users, including Donald Trump Jr., to suggest the world’s richest man should buy MSNBC . Many of the left-leaning network’s hosts, including Joe Scarborough, Rachel Maddow and Mika Brzezinski, have been critical of Musk and the MAGA movement he supports . “Hey @elonmusk I have the funniest idea ever!!!” Trump Jr. posted on Friday alongside a graphic joking that MSNBC would sell for the “best offer.” “How much does it cost?” replied Musk, whose net worth was estimated to have reached a record high of $321.7 billion on Friday. Musk’s response was very similar to the one he gave in 2017 when some social media users suggested he buy Twitter. Five years later, he spent $44 billion to purchase the platform , which he renamed X and has since used to promote his right-wing ideology and conspiracy theories . “I mean it can’t be much,” Trump Jr. wrote back. “Look at the ratings.” MSNBC viewership reportedly plummeted 38% after Election Day, according to The Wrap. Musk’s banter with Trump Jr. continued, with the entrepreneur writing, “The most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic, is most likely.” While Comcast made no mention of selling MSNBC to Musk , the big-spending tech wiz has proven he can take over companies despite resistance from their board of directors, just as he did with Twitter. Speculation about Musk buying a progressive cable news network comes a week after satirical site The Onion announced it had purchased Alex Jones’ far-right “InfoWars” empire in a bankruptcy auction. Jones was forced to sell the disgraced brand to satisfy a judgment against him in connection with the lies and conspiracy theories he pushed about the 2012 massacre at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School . A Texas judge has delayed that acquisition while a court reviews details of the bidding process.A total of 290 days on from his devastating Achilles injury suffered in bizarre circumstances in Super Bowl 58, Dre Greenlaw will make his long-awaited return to the practice field for the San Francisco 49ers. The absence of Greenlaw's physicality, sideline-to-sideline speed and ability in pass coverage has had a huge impact on the 49er defense this season as De'Vondre Campbell has struggled to fill the void. But Kyle Shanahan confirmed on Wednesday that Greenlaw would practice for the Niners on Wednesday, having spent the entire year to this point on the PUP list. That does not mean Greenlaw is in line to make his return to game action against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Greenlaw will likely need a longer runway before being ready to play in a game, but his presence back on the practice field can still have a huge impact for the 49ers. The former fifth-round pick is one of the emotional leaders for the team, and his presence can offer San Francisco some much-needed energy at a point in the season where the 49ers have looked worryingly lifeless. Now 5-6 after getting blown out by the Green Bay Packers in Week 12, the 49ers should not need motivation to get up for their final six games with their slim playoff hopes hanging by a thread. However, the prospect of Greenlaw getting back on the field for a portion of the stretch run gives them additional reason to try to stay in touch in the playoff race and ensure he is returning for meaningful football, rather than a team playing out the string. It's unclear how effective Greenlaw will be coming off his prolonged lay-off, or even how much practice time he will need to feel ready to play in a game. What cannot be denied, though, is that the 49ers need to stop the rot after successive defeats for Greenlaw to have a shot at having a tangible impact on their fortunes this season.

Australia has changed its diplomatic position in backing a United Nations resolution calling for a peaceful settlement of Palestine. Australia was among 157 countries that supported the resolution, while eight voted against it, including the US and Israel. The motion called for a peaceful settlement of Palestine and a just and lasting peace in the Middle East. Australia's ambassador to the UN James Larsen told the General Assembly the position reflected growing international momentum. "A two-state solution remains the only hope of breaking the endless cycle of violence, the only hope to see a secure and prosperous future for both peoples," he said. Earlier, deputy opposition leader Sussan Ley said it was disappointing that Australia would shift its stance away from that of the US and Israel at the UN. "We still have hostages in tunnels under Gaza. We still have Hamas in the Gaza Strip, almost in control. And how is this not rewarding terrorists at this point in time?" she told Sky News on Wednesday. "At a critical point in the relationship that we should be having with the US, this is not going to encourage that strong closeness that we need with our nearest ally when it comes to the relationship we have to have."

TAMPA, Fla. — Pinellas County Commission Chairperson Kathleen Peters sent a two-page letter to the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday asking the team to put in writing whether it intends to move forward on a $1.3 billion stadium voted on in July or provide a notice of termination by Sunday. “I am requesting that you officially declare your intention regarding this Agreement and whether you intend to see it come to fruition,” Peters wrote. Peters sent the letter to team presidents Brian Auld and Matt Silverman Monday morning. They had written a letter last week that arrived two hours before the County Commission met to consider final approval of bonds to finance the county’s share of the stadium. Auld and Silverman wrote that the Rays cannot move forward with a stadium deal under the current terms and the team stands “ready to work on a new solution” in Tampa Bay. A spokesperson for the Rays did not immediately respond to a phone call and text message requesting comment. Peters told the Tampa Bay Times she alone worked on the letter over the past few days with Assistant County Attorney Don Crowell. Due to Florida’s public meeting laws, Peters cannot communicate with other commissioners regarding items that would go before the board. She said she and County Administrator Barry Burton “talked extensively” about what was in the letter. “They’re doing a lot of verbal statements and no one really knows what the true intent of those statements are,” Peters said, referring to the Rays. “If (team officials) put in writing they want out of the contract, the deal’s dead. It’s not dead on our side or on the city’s side.” Asked what would happen if the Rays do not give an answer by Sunday, Peters said she’ll discuss what’s next with Crowell and Burton. In a text message to the Times, Pinellas commissioner Chris Latvala said he agreed with the letter “100%.” “The County hasn’t done anything to violate the deal,” said Latvala, who in October initiated the delay the final vote on the bonds then. The commission went on to vote 6-1 last week to delay issuing bonds to provide the county share — $312.5 million — paid for with hotel and short-term rental taxes. The commission is scheduled to vote on the bonds Dec. 17. “The county can be in a position to offer its bonds for sale pursuant to the agreement weeks (and potentially months) before the Rays’s deadline to meet its conditions precedent to such offering,” Peters wrote. Auld spoke publicly Thursday at a St. Petersburg City Council meeting, where that board was scheduled to vote on bonds to finance its share of stadium costs, as well as funding for roads and sewers in the surrounding Historic Gas Plant District. Auld was asked by a reporter if a deal is still on the table, and he replied, “No, there is not.” The City Council also voted 5-2 to delay bonds until no later than Jan. 9. At that meeting, City Administrator Rob Gerdes also asked for a written notice of termination from the Rays. “Based on the comments that were made by Mr. Auld tonight, I think the respectable thing (for the Rays) to do would be to deliver us a written notice of termination,” Gerdes said Thursday. In Monday’s letter, Peters lambasted Auld and Silverman for making a “fallacious statement” regarding it being “clear” that a “2029 ballpark delivery would result in significantly higher costs that we are not able to absorb alone.” Peters said that, per the agreement, the Rays are responsible for all cost overruns and the agreement cannot be terminated by the city and county unless the stadium project is not completed by Feb. 1, 2030. “Pinellas County has operated in good faith, working toward the stadium deal while balancing the needs of our community after back-to-back hurricanes,” Peters wrote. “If the Rays want out of this agreement, it is your right to terminate the contract. Clear communication about your intentions will be critical to the next steps in this partnership.” ©2024 Tampa Bay Times. Visit tampabay.com . Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc. DKS shares are trading higher Wednesday following several analyst updates. Here’s what you need to know. What To Know: Analysts notes are rolling in after Dick's Sporting Goods reported third-quarter financial results on Tuesday. The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.75 for the third quarter, surpassing the analyst consensus of $2.68. Revenue for the quarter climbed 0.5% year-over-year to $3.06 billion, beating expectations of $3.03 billion, per Benzinga Pro . Dick’s also raised its full-year 2024 earnings outlook to a new range of $13.65 to $13.95 per share, up from a range of $13.55 to $13.90 per share. Current estimates are calling for full-year earnings of $13.88 per share. Net sales are now projected at $13.2 billion to $13.3 billion, compared to the prior range of $13.1 billion to $13.2 billion. Multiple analyst firms weighed in on the company’s quarterly results following the print, which appears to be adding to the momentum in the name this week. UBS upgraded the stock to Buy and increased its price target to $260. Loop Capital maintained a Hold rating and raised its price target from $220 to $225. Truist Securities reiterated a Buy rating and slightly raised its price target from $256 to $258. JPMorgan maintained a Neutral rating and increased its price target from $215 from $230. In a note to clients, JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers highlighted Dick’s solid execution and strategic investments, including elevated store concepts like House of Sport and Field House. However, the analyst flagged risks from elevated inventory levels, which rose 13.5% year-over-year, primarily in footwear and fleece. Horvers also pointed to Dick's broader strategy of differentiating itself through premium merchandise and omnichannel advancements. While the company continues to expand its market share, JPMorgan expects more modest margin improvements as expenses rise, including rent and SG&A costs. Telsey analyst Joseph Feldman also noted Dick's strong market position, premium product offerings and momentum from brand partnerships with names like Hoka, On and Nike. “These brands, together with its private label portfolio (~13% of sales), have allowed the company to bridge the gap between performance and lifestyle. Dick’s also continues to elevate and modernize its omnichannel capabilities and roll out new and exciting store concepts, like House of Sport and Field House, making it the go-to destination for all things athletic,” Feldman said. What Else: Store Expansion: Dick’s opened three House of Sport stores in the third quarter, bringing the total to 19, with plans for 15 more in 2025. The company also launched five new Field House stores and is phasing out its Warehouse Clearance concept in favor of Going, Going, Gone! locations. GameChanger Growth: The company's SaaS-based GameChanger platform saw 21% growth in unique users year-over-year, contributing to a projected $100 million in 2024 sales. DKS Price Action: Dick’s Sporting goods shares were up by 0.96% at $214.25 at the time of writing, according to Benzinga Pro.
