— It’s getting to the point where it’ll be disappointing to see Thomas Rawls start ahead of Chris Carson in Green Bay. That’s no slight on Rawls — but Carson has competed for a job and earned a role with his performances in camp and pre-season. He’s physical, decisive, explosive and has shown an ability […]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs coach Andy Reid floated the idea not long ago that he might keep his top four running backs when trimming the roster to 53 players next weekend. That may not be such a difficult decision now. The Chiefs could be without top running back Spencer Ware for the first portion of the season after he hurt his right knee in Friday night's preseason game in Seattle. The initial diagnosis was a sprain but Ware was due for an MRI exam Saturday amid reports he injured one of his ligaments. Читать дальше...

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — As negotiations start this month over wage increases at Walt Disney World, rebellion is brewing in one of the six unions that advocate for the resort's 70,000 workers. Many of the performers who entertain guests as Mickey Mouse, the Seven Dwarves and other costumed characters are Teamsters, and some are fed up with how their union is being run. For the first time in recent memory, they're putting together a slate of opposition candidates, promising to make this fall's vote for... Читать дальше...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The aspiring artist was 17 when he took pencil to paper in 1954 and sketched a stunningly mirror-like image of himself as a student at England's Bradford School of Art. In the 63 years since, David Hockney has become world famous, not for self-portraits, but for colorful painted landscapes, portraits of others and brilliant photo collages of everything from backyard swimming pools to scenic desert vistas. Lesser known are the literally hundreds of self-portraits he also made over the years... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (AP) — As a court fight simmers over New York City's pioneering requirement for calorie counts on chain restaurant menus, scientists say the jury's still out on whether giving people the numbers spurs them to eat healthier. The city says that by requiring eateries to tell people that their $4 cheeseburger will also cost them about 540 calories, it's helping diners make informed choices in an era of rising obesity. New York City's first-in-the-nation rule took full effect in 2008. It was... Читать дальше...

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Drones will be monitoring weekend traffic conditions at the New York State Fair for the first time. Gov.

LONDON (AP) — A man who was detained with a "large bladed weapon" outside Buckingham Palace in London was being questioned by British counterterrorism police on Saturday. The Metropolitan Police force said two London police officers were slightly injured while arresting the 26-year-old man on Friday night.

MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — Thanks to an unblinking eye, a glance inside a car during an unrelated police stop cracked the case of a home-invasion robbery that terrified a family of three. The snippet of video from a camera mounted on a police officer responding to a complaint of marijuana smoke at Motel 6 helped send five people to prison on robbery convictions. The blink-and-you'll-miss-it key: a baseball bat lying on the front seat of Alejandro Medina-Mello's Honda Accord. The bat was spotted while the... Читать дальше...

Stubbornly humble and quick to deflect praise toward his teammates, it's just not in Russell Wilson's nature to accept all of the credit for Seattle's first-team offensive success this preseason.

In 'The Webster Nexus' Jay D. Gregory masterfully combines fantasy and suspense into a metaphysical story that has eccentric and engaging characters.

SEATTLE (AP) — Kansas City running back Spencer Ware's right knee injury might not be as bad as first feared. Ware sprained his right knee and was carted off the field in the Chiefs' 26-13 preseason loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Friday night. But Kansas City coach Andy Reid said after the game that X-rays came back negative and that Ware would have an MRI to further access the damage Saturday. It was optimistic news for what appeared to be a major injury. "We'll just see how that turns out," Reid said. Читать дальше...

JACKSON HOLE, Wyoming (AP) — Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen on Friday emphatically defended the web of regulations the Fed helped enact after the 2008 financial crisis, saying it helped restore the banking system's health and disputing criticism that the rules have hurt lending. Yellen said the Fed is prepared to adjust the regulations as needed to help financial institutions. But in a speech to an annual conference of central bankers in Jackson Hole, she implicitly rejected efforts by Republicans... Читать дальше...

SEATTLE (AP) — Kansas City running back Spencer Ware sprained his right knee and was carted off the field in the first quarter of the Chiefs' preseason game against Seattle on Friday night. Ware was injured about halfway through the first quarter of Kansas City's 26-13 loss to Seattle. He remained on the turf after making a 6-yard reception on a pass from Alex Smith. Ware appeared to take an awkward step with his right leg during the play and team trainers were looking at his knee while he was down on the field. Читать дальше...

— The refs had a really fussy game. This didn’t happen against the Chargers or Vikings, gratefully. Today, a player only had to look in the general direction of an opponent to get a flag. If the NFL is going to continue with four pre-season games, they need to stop them becoming training exercises for […]

SNOQUALMIE, Wash. (AP) — David McKenzie and Jerry Kelly shot 7-under 65 on Friday to share the first-round lead in the PGA Tour Champions' Boeing Classic. Making his second senior start after turning 50 on July 26, McKenzie eagled the par-5 eighth — his 17th hole — to join Kelly atop the leaderboard at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge. The Australian set up the eagle with a 5-iron from the left rough that he hit to 18 feet. "I hit it really well, but hooked it and it landed just on the green and ran up," McKenzie said.

Baseball may be one of the better sports in which we can admire the statures of overpaid men. Improbably, these unflattering uniforms give us a great view of their behinds.
