Unretired two-time Pro Bowl LB Shaquil Barrett signs to resume career with Tampa Bay BuccaneersLewandowski scores his 100th Champions League goal. He is the 3rd player to reach the milestone
Maybe 15 minutes before the Wild hosted and defeated the Nashville Predators on Saturday, general manager Bill Guerin took a few minutes to talk to the media about his first noteworthy acquisition of the season—the trade with Columbus, which will bring David Jiricek to the State of Hockey in the first few days of December. Maybe it’s just the pessimistic nature of a fanbase that hasn’t seen a men’s professional team play for a championship in more than three decades, but the grumbling had begun even before the collected media had reached the press box for Saturday’s game. “Seems like a lot to pay for a minor-leaguer,” was one of the comments overheard at the rink on Saturday. Indeed, to get Jiricek – the sixth overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft – and a lower-round pick, Guerin surrendered defenseman Daemon Hunt and four draft picks, including Minnesota’s 2025 first-rounder and a second round pick in 2027. He wasted no time in getting an up-close look at the new guy, calling Jiricek up to the NHL level on Sunday, and sending former Gophers forward Travis Boyd back down to Iowa. Guerin and Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell are old friends from their time working together with the Pittsburgh Penguins. But there was no discount offered from Waddell to his old pal in Minnesota. “It took awhile. Donny,” Guerin said with an exasperated grin. “He played with me. He’s one of my old mentors. He made me work for it. He’s the best.” Still, Guerin would not have pulled the trigger had he not believed in two things: 1) The Wild can turn all of Jiricek’s size (6-foot-4) and potential into another piece of their bright future on the blue line. 2) The price they paid was not as steep as it might look on the surface. To that second point, consider that Hunt was not really part of the Wild’s NHL-level defensive picture, even at a time like this when Jonas Brodin’s long-term viability is a serious question mark. And after getting two points with an overtime win over the Predators on Saturday, the Wild were tied for the most points in the NHL, meaning that at this pace, that 2025 first-round draft pick is going to come in the 25th spot or later. If the Wild go into a tailspin this season, the pick sent to Columbus is lottery protected, meaning the Blue Jackets will not get to pick in the top 10 at the Wild’s expense. To the first point, Jiricek is a player Guerin and his assistants have had their eye on for some time, even before he was named the top defenseman in the tournament while playing for Czechia in the 2023 World Juniors. “He’s not 30, he’s not a rental. He’s a 21-year-old defenseman that we can invest in. And we did. That’s how I look at it. It’s an investment,” Guerin said. In 2022, the Wild grabbed Liam Ohgren with the 19th overall pick, more than a dozen selections after Jiricek was picked by Columbus and was posing for pictures in a new red-white-and-blue sweater. “He was somebody that we really liked (during) his draft year. We knew we weren’t going to get him, but we liked him,” Guerin said. “And, you know, when this became available, I did my due diligence and asked our staff what they thought. They were all on board with it. So it’s good.” Perhaps in hopes of getting the fans on board, Guerin also stressed patience. Jiricek has not yet been a star in the NHL, despite his high draft stock. But the Wild are confident that their system of developing players — especially defensemen — is the change the new guy needs. “He’s a young player. He’s got a lot to learn. He’s going to continue to improve, just like all young players,” Guerin said, name-dropping two youthful every-night members of the Wild roster who still have ample room to grow. “Brock Faber’s got to get better. Matt Boldy’s still going to get better. All these guys are going to continue to improve because they’re so young. So just because they’re in the NHL doesn’t mean they’re not going to develop their game and get better. That’s our job as the coaches, management. That’s our job to help him get better.” If he has to spend some future draft capital to put those pieces in place, that is clearly a chance Guerin is willing to take."The Council of Autism Service Providers" And "ABA Centers" Partner to Ring Closing Bell at the New York Stock Exchange

MADRID (AP) — Getafe scored twice in three minutes midway through the second half to beat struggling Valladolid 2-0 and record only its second win in La Liga on Friday. The victory ended Getafe’s five-game winless run and lifted it into 15th place in the 20-team standings. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content. Please enable it in your browser settings.My garden’s power of resilience was tested to the extreme on Jan. 12, 2024, when the temperature plummeted to minus 12 C. It was so cold that my hummingbird feeders froze in spite of the heat lamps underneath. I feared the worst, especially for some of the plants that had been in the garden since I started tending it fifteen years ago. My old rosemary bush had already lost several of its limbs in the freezes of previous years, on top of which its condition had been aversely affected by the teeter-tottering of warm-cold-warm-cold in a recent winter and spring. One of its limbs looked so miserable that I decided it would be an act of mercy to remove it entirely. Then I noticed something interesting. The limb had been trailing along the driveway for a few years, and in the blanket of leaves that I always keep around and under the bush, it had made lots of roots. They looked desiccated, but they were roots all the same. I decided to find out if they could be put to work and keep the amputated limb of rosemary alive. The limb was an awkward shape, like a sickle with the rooted part longer than the other, but I found a space for it along one side of a new garden bed in the front yard. Close by was a young rosemary, brought home from a nursery. I’m persuaded plants communicate (in ways we can’t yet fathom) and I hoped the old, gnarled limb and the young plant would somehow bond. I feel sure they tried their best, but a Coreopsis Grandiflora had grown between them. It must have been a seed, dropped by a bird, which hadn’t yet revealed its true nature when I planted the little rosemary. By summer, when the young rosemary was trying to soak up the sunlight, the Coreopsis had become exuberant (from the Latin exuberare , grow luxuriously). The rosemary didn’t have a chance, and today, at the start of winter, it looks stunted and its leaves are sparse. But the old, gnarled limb fared better. It grew as exuberantly as the Coreopsis over the summer and even made a few flowers. In another bed in the front yard I’d planted two more young rosemaries. They, too, are showing exuberance. Their stems have grown strong, increased in number, and are thickly clad with leaves. I’d panicked at the beginning of 2024 because I thought my grand old rosemary bush was doomed and I wanted to make sure there were successors. So now, unless we’re served another onslaught of violent, freezing weather, the garden should be well stocked with this herb. Its flowers are beloved by bees, hummingbirds and all other pollinators that visit. Hot lips sage had become a favourite of mine ever since I saw the immense bush dotted with red and white flowers that grew in a neighbour’s backyard. She gave me a cutting and it did well. But it didn’t survive past its second year. Still, I was determined not to give up. This spring I bought two young plants to grow in a new garden bed laid out in a location chosen especially for them. To begin with, the young hot lips bided their time. I worried and added other plants behind and around them. Maybe that spurred them on. By late summer they’d stretched so far upwards and sideways that they managed to obscure all traces of the plants I’d added a couple of months earlier. They ended up making masses of flowers and, to my amazement, have continued to bloom past the winter solstice, over a month longer than is normal. In 2023 I grew Matucana sweet peas for the first time. They’re an heirloom variety noted for their stunning deep violet and red colours and their intoxicating scent. They didn’t last as long as I would have liked and didn’t grow as tall as promised, but I was drawn to their colours and scent and saved the seeds. I ended up with so many Matucana seeds that this year I decided to spread them throughout the garden. The ones growing at the designated sweet pea trellis didn’t fare well (partly thanks to inquisitive squirrels), but the ones that grew in other spots performed beyond all expectations. I’d planted several to climb up the mesh on the exterior of the outdoor garden room that my handyman David had built in the backyard. The garden room is dedicated to Pomona, the Roman goddess of gardens, who must have developed a special feeling for the Matucana sweet peas because they are still, at the end of December, putting out new flowers! I’ve never seen anything like it! Now I’m bidding Pomona to let her beneficial influence extend beyond the walls of the garden room. So what’s my garden’s final report card for 2024? Well, it’s hard to imagine that it could be any more glowing. Sabine Eiche is a local writer and art historian with a PhD from Princeton University.

Pep Guardiola backed the right of Manchester City fans to boo his side after the Champions League draw with Feyenoord - but believes his side can prove them wrong going forward. City collapsed from 3-0 ahead with 15 minutes left to draw 3-3 as the defence capitulated, prompting boos from some supporters at full-time. City ended their five-game losing streak, but are winless in six and have conceded seven goals in two home games this week - and 17 during this run. Guardiola was asked about the boos after the game and refused to be critical, instead pointing to the support his side receive every week. "Last game against Tottenham, 0-4 supporters were there, applause. They are disappointed of course and we understand it," the manager said, before being asked if boos were justified given City's recent successes.

I am not the one when the situation is bad or good [to say] what they have to do. These supporters, when we go away, our fans are amazing, travelling. There is nothing to do and they are right to express what they feel." Guardiola insisted that City played well before the collapse and will work to put things right. "It will be a tough season for us and we have to accept it for many circumstances," he admitted. "Today unfortunately the game was well done and we couldn’t punish them in the right moment. The team was so committed in many many things but unfortunately in the moment something happens and we are not strong enough. We have to try and avoid those mistakes. "We have to [lift them], we have to. That is my job. We play a good game but we need to do it and were not able to control the last minutes."EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Drew Lock is likely going to start at quarterback for the New York Giants against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday when they try to end a franchise-record 10-game losing streak. Lock started against Atlanta last weekend and his status became an issue after the 34-7 loss when coach Brian Daboll said the 28-year-old was having an issue with his right shoulder. An MRI was done Monday and Daboll announced Tuesday that Lock would be his starter if he stayed healthy. “It came back good so rocking and rolling,” Lock said, noting he was hurt on a third down pass to Daniel Bellinger in the first quarter when Falcons linebacker Matthew Judon pulled his arm on the play. He finished the game. There were questions whether Daboll would switch back to Tommy DeVito after Lock threw two pick-6s and lost a fumble on a strip-sack against the Falcons. Lock has had three interceptions returned for scores in three starts this season, including two on tipped passes. Daboll said it was important to give Lock a couple of starts in which he was able to get all the reps in practice. “Knowing what we did the week before, take the things we need to get better at into this week and actually be able to go out there and do it is something I’m looking forward to,” Lock said. “Similar cadences with the guys, being in the huddle together. I think it can only be a positive for such a roller coaster out of that spot.” The one thing that might change this week is the Giants center. John Michael Schmitz has an ankle injury and he did not practice Tuesday. He left the locker room with a boot on his right foot. New York has moved veteran guard Greg Van Roten to center when Schmitz was hurt and Lock also worked with guard Austin Schlottmann as his center while playing in Denver. “I’m pretty familiar with all the guys that are rotating in there,” Lock said. The Giants have the NFL's worst scoring offense, averaging 14.3 points. They benched Daniel Jones coming out of their bye week and days later released him after he requested it. DeVito has started two games and Lock three since Jones was released. New York has scored 59 points in those games, with 20 coming against Dallas in a seven-point loss on Thanksgiving. Running back Tyrone Tracy (ankle), wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee-foot), cornerback Greg Stroman (shoulder-shin), defensive tackle Cory Durden (shoulder), inside linebacker Micah McFadden (neck) and cornerback Dru Phillips (shoulder) also did not practice on Tuesday, which is usually a day off. The team will have off on Christmas Day and return to practice on Thursday. The Giants opened practice on Tuesday with the song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” blaring on the loudspeakers in their indoor practice facility. Jones, who is on the Minnesota Vikings practice squad, sent the Giants offensive linemen Christmas gifts. “DJ comes in, saves me and Tommy once again, and then takes care of the guys,” Lock said. “I expected nothing less from the guy. That’s just who he is, and cares about these guys still.” ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Tom Canavan, The Associated Press
