“It’s going down, I’m yelling timber,” from the 2013 song “Timber,” blared throughout the auditorium at One Jets Drive just a few minutes before team owner Christopher Johnson, general manager Mike Maccagnan and Gase, the new head coach in New York, walked in for Gase’s introductory presser. The perception of the song could be nothing more than a bubbly pop hit, but it makes for a confusing lead-up to the introduction of a new coach....

Netanyahu said that a “deep state” conspiracy unseated him and that the former opposition party assuming rule on Sunday betrayed voters. “They are uprooting the good and replacing it with the bad and dangerous,” he told the conservative TV station Channel 20 this week. “I fear for the destiny of the nation.” The accusations are in line with tactics long employed by the prime minister. Netanyahu has used harsh language to describe any threat to Israel, regardless of size, and belittled criticism to undermine his opponents, according to the Associated Press....

After losing two such excruciating battles, after fighting along with every other Big East coach to surpass what Wright had built with the Wildcats since the “new Big East” became a thing back in the 2013-14 season, it would be understood if Cooley were throwing a small celebration late Wednesday night after word of Wright’s immediate retirement broke. That’s not what happened. “Jay the coach is amazing,” Cooley told Sporting News....

Kinsler, fresh off a World Series title with the Boston Red Sox, was on a long list of possibilities at third base before that talk was squelched when Machado agreed this week to a $300 million, 10-year contract. “The buzz was circulating around camp and everyone was really excited about it,” Kinsler said. “He is a threat. You don’t want to see him at the plate and late-game situations. He’s a game changer....

Reports from St. Louis say there were no new developments.

In Sunday night’s game against the Bengals, the Rams wide receiver finished with eight receptions for 92 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winning score late in the fourth quarter. His incredible performance capped off what was the greatest receiving season in NFL history. That may sound like hyperbole, recency bias and media hot-takery all rolled together, but the numbers don’t lie. Let’s take a step back and look at the entirety of Kupp’s ridiculous 2021 campaign....

That will not alleviate all the uneasy feelings after an offseason in which the Indians trimmed their payroll and a future that already has a countdown clock for star shortstop Francisco Lindor’s pending free agency in 2022. Edwin Encarnacion, Michael Brantley, Andrew Miller and Cody Allen — key pieces from the last few AL Central runs — are gone. MORE: Watch ‘ChangeUp,’ a new MLB live whiparound show on DAZN...

The league’s All-Star game featured team captains Elena Delle Donne and A’ja Wilson, who did not play due to injury, and a handful of veterans. But it was a first-time All-Star who showed out at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, home of the Las Vegas Aces, where Team Wilson won 129-126.

Pahang suffered their second straight defeat in a week after succumbing 2-1 to a spirited Negeri Sembilan in a crucial Malaysia Cup match played on Saturday night at Tunku Abdul Rahman Stadium. The Elephants have struggled without the presence of Dollah Salleh on the bench and against the Premier League outfit, they took their time to settle into the match and that ultimately led to their defeat. Negeri Sembilan took a 2-0 lead into half time and Pahang’s assistant head coach Ahmad Shaharuddin Rosdi put it down to the poor start that his team had as well as the stronger motivation that seemed to come from the opposite side....

Traore, 23, spent most of his formative years in Barca’s academy and had been considered one of La Masia’s crown jewels for a long time. The rapid forward even made his first-team debut in LaLiga as a 17-year-old in November 2013, playing seven minutes in a 4-0 win over Granada. Barca allowed him to leave for Aston Villa in 2015, with Traore revealing the following year he had become frustrated with a lack of development at the Catalan club, as they kept him in the second team instead of helping him push on....

The video of the stranger is short but to the point. Viewers can hear Ahmeti say, “I’m not having this conversation right now because I’m in the middle of something, but thank you for your concern, I appreciate it.” As she says this, Ahmeti pans first to the stranger who is standing on the beach with a child beside her, looking shocked and annoyed.

Barbara Ann Mumpower, 41, has been charged with first-degree murder for the death of Maria Louellen Barlow, 3, on June 3. Mumpower was arrested Wednesday, what would have been her niece’s 4th birthday, in Belcamp, Maryland.

The 63-year-old, whose name has not been released, was dining with a relative in Plaza de la Iglesia in Santomera, Murcia. According to local reports, she choked on a piece of octopus that had become lodged in her airway. “She was eating octopus, when suddenly she put her hands to her throat,” one witness told local newspaper La Verdad. “She couldn’t breathe or cough.” Diners telephoned emergency services and, as they waited for medical workers to arrive, the woman’s relative reportedly attempted the Heimlich maneuver—an anti-choking technique that has likely saved hundreds of thousands of lives since its inception in 1974....
