Aryna Sabalenka got past Jessica Pegula 7-5, 7-5 in a rollicking U.S. Open women’s final Saturday to win her first championship at Flushing Meadows and third Grand Slam title of her career. Sabalenka, a 26-year-old from Belarus, adds this trophy to the two she earned at the Australian Open Open each of the past two seasons, also on hard courts. And the victory allowed her to leave Arthur Ashe Stadium in a far better mood than when she was the runner-up to Coco Gauff at the 2023 U.S. Open. Pegula, a native New Yorker whose parents own the NFL’s Buffalo Bills and NHL’s Buffalo Sabres, was participating…

The 2024-25 season marks a fresh start for the Seattle Seahawks, not on the field, but on the sidelines. With HC Pete Carroll and OC Shane Waldron departing this offseason, the team has overhauled its coaching staff, which includes bringing in new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb.Serving as the offensive coordinator at the University of Washington for the past two seasons, Grubb is making his first jump to the NFL. This season will also be his first without former head coach Kalen DeBoer — the two had worked together since 2007. Grubb faces the daunting task of leaping from college football…
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has rallied thousands of protesters in central Sao Paulo to protest against the country’s ban of the social media platform X. The demonstration was timed to the country’s Independence Day on Saturday. It also unfolded while Bolsonaro’s political rival, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, led an official parade with the country’s military in the capital Brasilia. Dressed in the colours of the Brazilian flag, Bolsonaro climbed atop a temporary stage erected on Sao Paulo’s main thoroughfare, Paulista Avenue, and addressed the crowd. His remarks took aim at one of the main figures responsible for…
A mosquito sample from Long Island has tested positive for Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) as concern about the virus has grown, especially after an otherwise-healthy 41-year-old man died as a result of it recently.

Saturday’s loss is extremely disappointing on its own, but when the bigger picture is examined, it’s just the latest example of Pittman being unable to close out tight games. Since Pittman took over the program in 2020, one-score games have been his kryptonite. Aside from a magical 2021 season that saw Arkansas go 9-4, Pittman’s record in games decided by eight points or less is a paltry 3-13. Five seasons into the Pittman era, the lack of wins in clutch situations isn’t just an unfortunate coincidence, but rather an appalling pattern that continues to crop up every season. Let’s not mince…
