to get to the ballpark Todd’s answer: “I want to see Craig get booed.” They made it in time for the lineup announcements when Counsell’s headshot appeared on the video board the home fans of the team he’d managed for nine years didn’t hold back “They showed me a video of him booing,” Counsell said with a chuckle It’s Counsell’s second season at the helm for the Cubs after signing what was then a record-setting contract with the Brewers’ division rivals And the boos are still almost as strong as they were when he first returned to American Family Field with his new team “I think it’s gonna happen for a while,” Counsell said Designated hitter Seiya Suzuki has only started in the outfield once this season But Counsell doesn’t expect Suzuki to get so little time in the outfield all season “He’s been slowed in the outfield play with the wrist this series has been his most active throwing series.” Suzuki missed three consecutive games in mid-April “It’s something I would like to do,” Counsell said of playing Suzuki in the outfield and he was kind of in the middle of [the injury] Reliever Ryan Brasier (strained left groin) threw live batting practice at the Cubs’ Arizona complex It was another step in what already has been more than a five-week recovery Brasier’s lone appearance for the Cubs came during the Tokyo Series Terms of Use • Privacy Notice • Cookie Policy • Terms of

There are a couple of boxing analogies that come to mind here Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier fought classics The second boxing analogy: Everyone has a game plan You can have a sound game plan against the Panthers and then you eat a stick from Matthew Tkachuk take a crosscheck from Sam Bennett or a face wash from Brad Marchand and it changes the way you approach the game We know pretty much what the Panthers will try to do to the Maple Leafs What we don’t know is how the Leafs will respond They have some training about dealing with tight spaces All you have to is drive around downtown Toronto on any given day and it equates in some way to this hockey series You know there’s all kinds of traffic and construction But you still have to find a way to get it done Berube has been talking to the team a lot about playing in tight spaces. About playing with little room on the ice. The Leafs are uber-talented up front with Matthews, new dad Mitch Marner and the wayward son, William Nylander, all of whom were part of the 4-Nations tournament a few months back. But the rather stacked Panthers had nine players in that tournament, including captain Sasha Barkov, Team USA leader Tkachuk, sound defensive players such as Gustav Forsling on defence and third-liners Anton Lundell and Eetu Luostarinen. The biggest advantage on paper in this series is the difference between third lines: Lundell centres hugely underrated Luostarinen and Marchand. The Leafs third line has been a work in progress all year long. Look for the Leafs to continue to treat the Scott Laughton-centred fourth unit like more of a third line in this series. Berube may have to find the right match against Lundell, with Barkov centring one line and Bennett another. This is really new territory for Matthews and Marner. They have struggled to produce in playoff series in the past. They have struggled to succeed when there is little open ice. But in the first round, in particular Matthews, he might have been the best player in the series when all 200 feet of the game are taken into account. He was doing the Barkov thing and now must do it head-to-head against Barkov. The challenge for Berube in the games at home is to take advantage of last change. That would keep Barkov and Forsling away from Matthews and Marner. But it would still wind up with Lundell and a defenceman such as Aaron Ekblad against the Leafs’ first line. That’s not easy, either. The wild card for the Leafs is always Nylander. He doesn’t fit any regular descriptions. He is capable of scoring at almost any time or giving up something similar in the wrong end. Florida has no one similar to him. Most NHL teams don’t. Berube needs the Leafs to be composed against the Panthers. There was a lot of talk of composure on Sunday. Staying composed against Florida’s supposed meanness. Composed against its physical play. Composed dealing with the Panthers crossing the line, if and when they do so. “Talk about composure,” Berube said, referring to Nylander. “He’s pretty composed, maybe sometimes too much.” Then he laughed again. Everybody did. You can laugh now.

the ranking member on the House Agriculture Committee made a vigorous case today for the importance of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in rural areas In an early morning speech to the Food Research & Action Center’s National Anti-Hunger Policy Conference Craig said the Republican House budget proposal to cut $230 billion from programs under the jurisdiction of the House Agriculture Committee would have devastating effects on rural communities Craig said that every SNAP dollar has a $1.50 economic impact nationwide but that in rural areas the impact of every SNAP dollar is $1.80 and that it “travels through the entire supply chain,”  employing farmers If the Republicans cut the SNAP budget by $230 billion they “are going to cost family farmers $30 billion in farm income,” Craig said.  The Republican attempt to cut SNAP spending and increase spending for the reference prices that trigger farm subsidy payments and for crop insurance in reconciliation could destroy the farm and anti-hunger coalition that has convinced Congress to pass farm bills for decades “It is insane what they are thinking about doing,” she said that farmers do need help because commodity prices are low and input prices are higher than in the past.  “We could be on the verge of another ’80s farm crisis,” Craig said adding “that is before the president introduced the dumbest across the board trade war in American history.” Craig did not mention her candidacy for the Democratic nomination to run for the seat of retiring Sen but told The Hagstrom Report that she will continue to serve as ranking member on the House Agriculture Committee while mounting her Senate campaign Last week House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn “GT” Thompson told the North American Agricultural Journalists that he wondered if she would continue as ranking member because if he were running for another office due to Republican rules he would have to submit his resignation as chairman.  Craig said she intends to “lead” the Democratic caucus in its efforts to fight Republican plans to cut Medicaid and SNAP.  Craig noted that records show she is one of the most bipartisan members of Congress but said she has recently toured the state of Minnesota including districts where Republican House members have declined to hold town hall meetings She said her tour showed her that the Republicans are “running scared from their constituents.” Republican members privately express concerns about the president’s budget instruction and the administration’s cuts Craig said she has seen a “whole lot” of her Republican colleagues “draw the red lines” but then fall into “the red pool” after they are threatened She said she hopes that those who are now drawing red lines “are willing to hold the line” in the budget talks She noted that the Trump administration has already canceled grants to food banks  and that Trump’s budget proposal would eliminate the Commodity Supplemental Food Program She also pointed out that the Trump budget would eliminate the Food for Peace program which has provided food aid in troubled places overseas for decades.  Craig said she had run for ranking member on the House Agriculture Committee because she came back from the 2024 election “pretty pissed off” that Democrats have such a hard time winning in rural areas She said she had “eked out a 14% win” and believes that as the ranking member she can have an impact.  the former ranking member on the committee joked that where else but in Congress “could a 53-year-old grandmother of three represent change?” a fact that is often mentioned in descriptions of her.)  Craig also said she grew up in a mobile home park in Arkansas with a single mother who sometimes depended on food assistance but went to college for nine years at night to get a teaching degree “I wouldn’t be standing here today if my mom had been denied those benefits,” she said.  Craig also told the anti-hunger advocates that the minimum wage should be raised and that housing should be made more affordable and child care be made available.  During a question-and-answer session that followed her speech Craig urged the anti-hunger advocates to talk about the broader supply chain when they are lobbying in opposition to SNAP cuts this week on Capitol Hill.  Noting that her district is composed of 30% Democrats 30% Republicans and “30% who don’t like Democrats or Republicans,” Craig told the advocates “Don’t be afraid to get outside of what I call a Democratic bubble.” Some Republican members have pointed out that the Senate budget calls for only a $1 billion cut to ag and food programs and that the House and Senate will eventually have to compromise But Craig said “Don’t let folks get away with saying it will be that low — don’t let anybody bullshit you into thinking this cut is not real.” but “what he wants to do and what his leadership allows are two different things.” She also noted that the White House has stayed out of the SNAP cut debate.  Sign up for daily and breaking news headlines Manage Subscriptions Legislators in Springfield for Final Four Weeks of Session and the House and Senate

And just last week, the American Legislative Exchange Council released its “Rich States, Poor States” 2025 report which ranks Illinois near the bottom in a study of how friendly state policies are for economic growth The report judges each state based on 15 different economic outlook factors how progressive the personal income tax rate is as well as whether there is an inheritance tax The report also considers the state minimum wage and the number of public employees compared to the state population Only Vermont and New York scored worse than Illinois on these combined metrics The new proposed taxes in the Democrat plan would drive up consumer costs and make it even harder for family-owned farms and businesses to stay in the family and survive Republicans are also sounding the alarm over plans to funnel some of the new revenue into expanding government benefits including programs for individuals who are in the United States illegally and prioritizing programs that hurt the very people they claim to represent Senate Republicans are doubling down on their efforts to stand up for working families and fight for lower taxes and a future where people can afford to stay in Illinois A Day of Tribute: Illinois Honors Fallen Officers and K9’s at Memorial Ceremony in Springfield The Illinois Peace Officer Memorial Ceremony took place on May 1 in the Capitol City to honor the brave law enforcement officers who lost their lives in the line of duty K-9s who lost their lives in the line of police work were also recognized Dax worked with the Lake County Sheriff’s Department for many years Lux is following in his dad’s footsteps and is in training to become a Police K-9 The day began with a squad car procession lining up at the Illinois State Fairgrounds at 6:30 a.m. followed by an interfaith church service at 9:30 a.m at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Springfield less than a mile from the Illinois State Capitol The formal memorial ceremony was held at the Illinois State Library where officers and officials paid tribute to the fallen heroes whose names will be added to the Illinois Police Memorial This ceremony was a powerful reminder of the courage and dedication of our law enforcement officers My Republican colleagues and I proudly stand behind police officers honoring their service and the sacrifices they make to protect Illinois communities all united in honoring the memory of those who paid the ultimate price in service to Illinois Senate Republicans continue to stand with our brave men and women in blue knowing that their commitment to upholding the rule of law deserves respect and gratitude and their sacrifices ensure the safety and security of every Illinois citizen Billion Dollar Brandon Returns to Springfield with a New Bailout Request Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson was back in Springfield with his latest bailout request for his city Mayor Johnson comes to the legislature with a new wish list and a new request that legislators pay for financial decisions he has made Whether it is a billion extra dollars for Chicago Public Schools (CPS) on top of the funds they receive through the school funding formula a billion dollars for a stadium for the Chicago Bears one familiar theme accompanies these requests: He wants suburban and downstate taxpayers to foot the bill to fill his self-created funding gaps I recognize the importance of a thriving Chicago What worries me is the established habit of Mayor Johnson refusing to control or cut spending engaging in unaffordable budgeting and contracts and then looking to the General Assembly to pay for it Fiscal recklessness in City Hall should not become a burden on suburban families who have worked hard to live within their means anyone over 18 years old will be required to present a REAL ID or another acceptable form of identification to board domestic flights and enter certain federal facilities or military bases Implementing REAL ID standards nationwide was pushed back for years You do NOT need a REAL ID in order to drive or enter federal buildings that do not require REAL IDs Mark Your Calendars for Wilcox Outreach Events This summer’s community outreach events kick off on Thursday June 26 with an ICASH Unclaimed Property Event in Fox Lake and my office’s running total for cash returned to constituents stands at $3,406,150.95 In most cases the recipients didn’t even know they had cash or property waiting for them Please mark your calendars now for these upcoming events and visit the Events page of my website regularly to be kept up to date about events taking place near you Household Hazardous Waste Collection – Crystal Lake Mark your calendar!

But Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube isn’t impressed—and in an interview on Sunday he took the opportunity to share his candid thoughts about the Round 2 opponents The Stanley Cup Playoffs continue, and the second round features some intriguing matchups. One of the most anticipated is between the reigning champions, the Florida Panthers, and the Toronto Maple Leafs, who eliminated the Ottawa Senators in six games in the first round Florida got the better of the Tampa Bay Lightning in their opening-round series and after reaching the Final in 2023 and hoisting the Cup in 2024 the Panthers are once again among the favorites to win it all in 2025 They have a roster built for playoff hockey, filled with gritty players like Matthew Tkachuk, Sam Bennett, and Brad Marchand Their physical playing style makes them a nightmare to go up against they’ve earned a well-deserved reputation for playing tough But the Maple Leafs don’t seem fazed.On Sunday, Toronto head coach Craig Berube spoke to the media and was asked directly if the Panthers’ “mean” streak was a concern. His reaction?

April 14 following the retirement of 20-year District 6 Engineer Gary Thayer joined his hometown’s district office of the then-Nebraska Department of Roads in May 1987 Both he and Craig worked under

O’Donnell recruited him for District 6 after he received his University of Nebraska-Lincoln civil engineering degree in 2005 He served as a graduate engineer until he became a licensed professional engineer in 2009 Craig had served since 2015 as the district’s construction engineer overseeing construction and repair projects in the 14 counties fully or partly inside District 6 “I really am

years He and Klasna first discussed such a project when Thayer became district engineer “It took us almost 20 years to deliver that project.” The changeable signs will pay dividends during snowstorms “They’ll be a hug safety improvement on the interstate because people honestly don’t know what speed to drive” in adverse conditions Thayer’s retirement means Craig will be in charge locally of the

The combination of Keenyi Pepe and Elbert Hill has added size and speed to the class with Pepe one of the top-ranked offensive tackles in the class and Hill the No Notre Dame is coming off an appearance in the national championship game and working to get back there as it continues to infuse its 2026 class with more talent and jumps into the top five. The Fighting Irish have landed multiple ESPN 300 commits in the past month, including running back Javian Osborne who is out of Texas and offers a nice blend of speed aggressive defensive tackle who could develop into an interior pass-rushing headache for opposing offenses and Williams is a true dual-threat signal-caller having been measured at over 22 mph in game play Ryan Day has the luxury of building his 2026 class around one of the most coveted players in the country: five-star receiver Henry was a star receiver for West Virginia and the Cincinnati Bengals stands 6-6 and has a combination of length and quickness rarely seen from high school receivers Notre Dame started the year off slowly on the recruiting trail but heated up during the spring, landing a handful of ESPN 300 prospects in April. On defense, the Irish landed Dunham, an edge player with nice length and a quick first step, and Ayden Pouncey On offense, ESPN 300 OT Gregory Patrick joined a class that already featured several top OL prospects including top-10 OT Merrill who at 6-7 and 335 pounds is a massive presence with physicality and power in the run game This group collectively can continue the school's strong reputation as an offensive line factory The Irish also landed Thomas Davis Jr., whose father is former Panthers star Thomas Davis, and four-star quarterback Noah Grubbs who already has shown impressive footwork and a sound release from the pocket The Tigers are tough to beat for in-state talent, and they built the foundation for one of the top classes in the country on homegrown recruits. But landing Keys from nearby Mississippi delivered Brian Kelly and his staff their first five-star of the 2026 cycle. As of now, the 6-3 Keys would be the highest-rated receiver to make it to Baton Rouge since Kayshon Boutte Keys is a long strider with long arms who prioritizes winning and is a favorite of coaches and teammates alike Though much of their recruiting success is from within their primary recruiting footprint the Tigers did go out west to land ESPN 300 Finney A 2027 prospect who reclassified into the 2026 class he has shown he can be physical in press coverage but also brings excellent speed to be able to run with receivers Clemson is coming off a College Football Playoff appearance but the Tigers are still chasing the heights of their mid-2010s success under Dabo Swinney and their 2025 class ranked just 37th in the country Their 2026 group is looking more promising especially after a red-hot March in which Swinney landed eight verbals Mike Elko has quickly proved he can identify and recruit at a high level. He has worked fertile recruiting grounds, landing the Aggies' top-ranked commit, defensive end Jordan Carter, out of Georgia. He landed fellow four-star defensive tackle Jermaine Kinsler out of New Jersey Elko has also been able to unearth talent from more unlikely places, such as quarterback Helaman Casuga out of Utah but he has a live arm and can get the ball out quickly He has clocked a 21 mph max speed and has the type of quickness and excellent feet to thrive in man coverage who has an excellent blend of size (200 pounds) and speed (he was measured hitting 21 mph on film) 220-pounder has tremendous length and an impressive track background He has considerable physical tools and upside if Syracuse's coaching staff can harness it Wilson is another big pull out of Florida; the edge defender has good initial quickness and tallied 17 sacks in 2024 yet plays with impressive balance for someone with his power and contact explosiveness The Orange also have been active in the Mid-Atlantic Lance Leipold is no stranger to building a program and he's off to a hot start in fortifying Kansas' 2026 class in-state corner Dunnigan has the length to reroute receivers off the line and the straight-line speed to hang with them on vertical routes The Jayhawks have a few offensive linemen committed who has an enticing combination of athleticism pass protection skills and upside if he can continue to fill out his frame The Jalon Daniels era enters its sixth and final season in 2025. In-state three-star commit Jaylen Mason is an intriguing developmental option for the future at QB Kenny Dillingham deftly pulled all the roster-building levers available to him as he rebuilt the Sun Devils back to national relevancy They have an interesting 2026 class so far that includes a pair of ESPN 300 recruits is a dual-threat playmaker with excellent short-area quickness and a smooth 210 pounds who moves well for his size and can be tough to tackle after the catch Now North Carolina is beginning to layer in skill players such as three-star receiver Darrion Kirksey who picked the Tar Heels over offers from Ole Miss and Arkansas and has outstanding short-area quickness Davis can be a versatile back with the power to run between the tackles he rushed for more than 1,300 yards and also hauled in more than 50 receptions Bill Belichick is building his first recruiting class at North Carolina from the inside out. AP Photo/Chris Seward12. Louisville CardinalsPrevious ranking: 12 Jeff Brohm has raised Louisville's floor with a 19-8 record and an appearance in the ACC championship game two years ago. His 2026 class already has more than a dozen commits, with four-star defensive back Broadnax out of Florida the biggest get so far. At nearly 6-3, he has great length, balance and body control for a corner. DE Kevontay Hugan was another nice pull out of Florida He lacks ideal length but possesses a quick first step and has been a versatile defender for his high school and was productive as a junior with more than 100 tackles with 18 sacks is a middle linebacker with good instincts and can be a physical presence between the tackles The Illini have made some strong in-state additions in the trenches Thomann is one of the top OL prospects in Illinois and three-star Tony Balanganayi is an interesting big man where he has shown he can be disruptive but with more mass could offer higher upside as an OL The Bulldogs have been a consistent staple among the top three overall classes during Kirby Smart's tenure and look to be a contender to do so again in 2026 A big step toward finishing near the top again is bringing five-star quarterback Curtis back into the mix the Bulldogs were able to fend off other suitors and give themselves a potential impact QB for the future Curtis might need to adjust to a relatively steep jump in competition level quick release and the ability to change arm angles who with his big frame and good body control can offer a wide catch radius Fort is a safety with good range who can be active in run support Kirby Smart's bid to get back to the top of the class rankings was bolstered by the addition of QB Jared Curtis. Justin Ford/Getty Images16. Auburn TigersPrevious ranking: 13 Harris is a lengthy edge defender with good power and range Toodle and Garrett are highly productive players who have combined for more than 200 tackles and 20 tackles for loss in their careers Freeze then added four-star Carter out of Douglasville (Georgia) High School in January The son of 1990 NFL first-round running back Dexter Carter Devin is one of the faster receivers in the class and pairs his speed with fluid Despite a rocky finish to the 2024 season, the Hurricanes are trending in the right direction. They're coming off a 10-win season, former QB Cam Ward was the No 1 pick in the NFL draft and they've reeled in two consecutive top-15 recruiting classes Mario Cristobal's 2026 class isn't particularly deep yet Brandon, a five-star quarterback, is the headliner, and rightfully so. He's a strong, accurate passer who fits Tennessee's offense perfectly. His commitment was big initially but seems even more impactful now after the well-publicized split with Nico Iamaleava The Seminoles are coming off a disastrous 2-10 season and a disappointing No. 26 finish in the 2025 recruiting cycle after losing several ESPN 300 commitments down the stretch. Florida State also took a hit when four-star 2026 quarterback Brady Smigiel decommitted in late January they are still scoring some victories on the recruiting trail who can close well and be a physical hitter He should continue to improve with the tools to develop into a productive starter Washington landed several commitments in the secondary who has good size at roughly 6 feet and is smooth in his movements Bill O'Brien has injected new life into Boston College by returning the program to its local roots with most of BC's commits hailing from Massachusetts A key add from that Northeast footprint is Jin the Eagles built a reputation for developing NFL-caliber talent particularly along the offensive line and on defense and just recently had two offensive linemen drafted into the NFL fits that mold but projects to the offensive line where he can be very productive with a nice blend of flexibility and mobility Leak is an interesting prospect who probably will need developmental time but flashes very good raw tools and could in time be a breakout player from this class The talk about coach Sam Pittman on the hot seat seemed to cool off entering the offseason, which will benefit recruiting and aid a 2026 class that already has a solid foundation. Four-star Prevo out of Texas is a 5-10 receiver who has outstanding balance, body control and short-area burst. Several high-three-star prospects anchor the class, including quarterback Jayvon Gilmore a tall (6-4) but lean passer with a nice frame to develop He has a strong arm with a smooth release and is a nice early pickup by the Razorbacks Yarbrough brings upside at defensive end with good first-step quickness and range. Pittman, a former offensive line coach, also landed in-state big man Tucker Young who can get push and help create lanes in the run game The Cougars finished 63rd in the 2025 cycle but are capitalizing on in-state talent to compete for one of the top classes in the Big 12 in 2026 Harris is the top-rated player in the state of Utah and one of the top TE prospects in the country He has excellent size at roughly 6-6 and is smooth in his movements with excellent ball skills Harris could be a highly productive target in BYU's passing attack Mulitalo, the top-ranked defensive player in the state, can offer versatility along the line and, in camp evaluations, has demonstrated an intense demeanor with the ability to take and apply coaching well. The Cougars also stayed in-state to land a QB to develop in Kaneal Sweetwyne who has a rangy frame with quick feet and can be a dual-threat option with nice upside as a passer The Scarlet Knights have added some top talent to their wide receiver room with Carter and Elias Coke having joined the class before the 2024 season started Carter is a good route runner with strong hands and could be a quick contributor once arriving On defense, Joey Kopec is a two-way player in high school He has good range and is effective dropping into coverage Baylor picked up London Smith a wide receiver with strong ties to the program; his father was a two-sport star (football and basketball) at Baylor and his mother was a national champion triple jumper for the Bears possesses coveted size (6-2) and blends that with good speed and is smooth in his movements Stephen “Craig” Trammell passed away on Monday Craig was born to Leslie and Patricia Trammell on November 28 Craig worked at Hebert Brothers Engineers and Global Contractors for many years as an Equipment Supervisor Trammell-Heller (Richard Heller); daughters Stephanie McLin (Devin) and Sally Ball (Corey); son and Luke Ball; and numerous nieces and nephews Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 a.m Visitation will be held at the Funeral Home on Thursday Interment will follow at Resthaven Gardens of Memory The family would like to give a special thanks to Dr all nurses in the infusion room at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center Family and friends may sign the online guestbook or leave a personal note to the family at www.resthavenbatonrouge.com Resthaven Gardens of Memory & Funeral Home FIVB Board of Administration member and Beach Volleyball Commission President Craig Carracher AM has been re-elected to the Executive Board of the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) at its Annual General Meeting held Saturday in Sydney Carracher has served as a Director of the AOC since 2015 He joins the Executive alongside newly elected members Susie O’Neill and Craig Bingham Also continuing on the Board are President Ian Chesterman Vice Presidents Evelyn Halls and Matt Allen Michael Murphy and Elizabeth Scott (née Weekes) The AOC Executive Board is responsible for strategic oversight of the Olympic Movement in Australia as the nation prepares to host the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games Carracher is a member of the FIVB Board of Administration First Executive Vice President of the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) and Chair of both the FIVB and AVC Beach Volleyball Commissions He previously served as AVC Zonal Executive Vice President and was a member of the FIVB Board from 2013 to 2016 He has been President of Volleyball Australia since 2011 and serves on the board of the Australian Olympic Foundation including its Investment Advisory Committee A former national-level beach volleyball player Carracher competed on the Australian Beach Volleyball Tour from 1989 to 2010 and contributed to the sport’s growth ahead of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games he is Executive Chairman and founder of Scape Group Australia’s largest provider of purpose-built student accommodation His previous roles include senior executive and legal positions at Consolidated Press Holdings Minter Ellison and several ASX-listed companies He holds law degrees from the University of Sydney and the University of Oxford Carracher was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for significant service to volleyball administration Photo source: Australian Olympic Committee The FIVB is the governing body responsible for all forms of Volleyball on a global level Working closely with national federations and private enterprises to develop Volleyball as a popular media and entertainment sport FIVB Fédération Internationale de Volleyball Château Les Tourelles Edouard-Sandoz 2-4 1006 Lausanne Switzerland Phone: +41 213 453 535 Fax: +41 213 453 545 Learn how to describe the purpose of the image (opens in a new tab) Leave empty if the image is purely decorative Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker It's the end of an era for the San Antonio Spurs and the entire NBA Though Popovich will remain a crucial part of the franchise the decision to work exclusively in the front office will deprive the NBA of a Hall of Fame coach and make one of the league's fascinating characters less visible than he has been over the past four decades Popovich could be prickly or playful with a microphone in front of him but his quick wit often made his sideline interviews news conferences and public interactions as entertaining as the games themselves Here's a look at some of Popovich's memorable moments and quotes over his 30-year career with the San Antonio Spurs: ANALYSIS: Gregg Popovich's impact on the Spurs and NBA was immense. Six ways he left his footprint. Gregg Popovich's best quotes as Spurs coach'Nobody's happy.'The yin and yang of Popovich's persona is probably best on display during his in-game sideline interviews which became much-anticipated events over the course of his career because of how much he seemingly despised doing them It often led to terse exchanges and answers that lasted but a few words Sometimes, he could be downright ornery. Even then, though, they were enthralling. Like when former TNT reporter David Aldridge asked Popovich if he was happy with his team's shot selection during a game in 2012. "Happy? Happy's not a word that we think about in a game. Think of something different. Happy? I don't know how to judge happy. We're in the middle of a contest. Nobody's happy." Popovich's most notable sideline interviews usually occurred with late TNT reporter Craig Sager, whose colorful outfits were the subject of lighthearted banter ("How can you be that professional in a suit that looks like that?") But Popovich was at his heartwarming best once Sager, who died in 2016, was diagnosed with leukemia. It led to a memorable exchange between the two when Sager returned to the sidelines in December 2015 for a game. "I got to honestly tell you this is the first time I've enjoyed doing this ridiculous interview we're required to do. It's because you're here and you're back with us. Welcome back, baby. ... Now ask me a couple of inane questions." Popovich was inducted into the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame in 2023 and his induction speech featured his greatest Spurs players -- David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker -- seated on stage behind him. At one point, when he went to shake their hands, emcee Ahmad Rashad thought that was the end of Popovich's speech. Only it wasn't, and Popovich reacted by shooing Rashad off stage. Popovich had colorful quotes and a sometimes-tough disposition with reporters. His players saw those sides of him, too. A Popovich classic is this line, captured by TNT during a Spurs timeout during a 2012 NBA playoffs series with the Oklahoma City Thunder. 'He's pathetic. He's small. He's a whiner. ... He's a damaged man.'Popovich has been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump and the Republican Party since Trump first took office in 2016, and used many of his regular interactions with reporters during the NBA season to express his political views. That included a Spurs news conference about a week before he suffered a stroke on Nov. 2, in which he spoke out against Trump for more than two minutes ahead of the 2024 Presidential election.

Report a typo or error Report a typo I was a young teenager living in Long Lake, Illinois, 50 miles north of Chicago. Like most kids my age, I had several part-time jobs, one of which was doing lawn work and other jobs for Mr. and Mrs. Surrey, whose beautiful home fronted the town beach. I’d started working for the Surreys a couple of years earlier and had come to regard them as my best customers. They entrusted me with all sorts of tasks both inside and outside the house, and rewarded me accordingly. Earlier that summer Mr. Surrey had shown me how to clean and otherwise care for the beautiful wooden Chris Craft cruiser he kept docked in the channel behind the house, including how to top off the gas and check the engine oil. He’d taken me out on the lake and given me instructions in how to run the boat, then exchanged seats and let me drive it all over the lake for the better part of an hour, at the end of which he guided me back into the channel and instructed me in the fine art of docking. Satisfied that I understood the basic procedures, he’d handed me my own ignition key. Since then, summer was proving to be outstanding. I was already adept at running the boat and taking some of my buddies water skiing. In return they chipped in for gas and helped keep the boat shipshape. Until, that fateful morning, the Surreys’ daughter, Betsy, home from college for the summer, called to say in whispered tones that she’d discovered the boat was sinking, and that, since I was the last person to have used it, I’d better come down and deal with the problem. As you might imagine, I was dumbstruck, but had enough sense to realize I needed help. I called my two closest buddies, Don Smith and Jim Glendening, explained my predicament, and asked them to meet me at Surrey’s. Then I rummaged around in the basement for the two biggest buckets I could find and started toward the lake. Thankfully, Mr. Surrey was already on the commuter train headed to work in Chicago, and Mrs. Surrey was next door at a neighbor’s having coffee. When I got to the boat, I could see it was mostly underwater, held up only by its mooring ropes, which were stretched tight as banjo strings. Since there had been no rain or violent weather overnight, the only reason for the disaster I could think of was a malfunction of the bilge pump, which must have stayed open after I’d turned the boat motor off. I reasoned that, if we bailed hard, we could get the bulk of the water out of the boat faster than it could come in, and that with two of us paddling and one of us bailing, we could get the boat out through the channel and around the point to the beach. An hour of vigorous effort found all of us out of breath but deeply relieved to be pulling the bow of the Chris Craft onto the sand at the near end of the beach. By then Betsy had told her mom what had happened, and Mrs. Surrey came down to the beach and thanked us for getting the boat out of the water. After she’d gone, we sponged out the interior of the boat, covered it with the fitted tarp, and I commenced waiting an agonizing several hours for the 6:15 commuter train and the return of Mr. Surrey. Looking back, I’m amazed at how calmly he took the bad news. As we walked side by side down the road from the train station to his house and I explained what had happened, he made it clear to me that I had done nothing wrong. It was an accident, he said. A mechanical malfunction. When I offered him the key he’d given me, he shook his head and refused to take it. And when, a month later, he called to tell me the boat had been repaired and was back in the water, he instructed me to bring the key when I came to work the next day, “so after you’re done you can take the boat out for a spin.” Collections of Craig Nagel’s columns are available at CraigNagelBooks.com. She had taken out a restraining order against him, the latest of several women to do so. She had demanded that he move out of her Huntington Beach apartment. She would not answer his calls. On the afternoon of Sept. 2, 2020, however, her phone call was interrupted when he appeared inside her apartment. She left a chilling 37-second voicemail message as he attacked her with multiple knives. “If you listen to it carefully, you hear a woman narrating her own murder,” Orange County Deputy Dist. Atty. Janine Madera told jurors during her closing argument at Charron’s trial in Santa Ana this week. After less than a day of deliberations, jurors on Tuesday found Charron, 39, guilty of first-degree murder. Sardinha had worked as a bartender’s assistant, but a motorcycle accident in 2019 left her unable to grab a knife well enough to chop lemons, as the job required. She was pursuing an online psychology degree, and had been dating Charron, an Air Force veteran, for just a few months. Sardinha had received a $750,000 settlement after her accident, and gave him nearly $100,000 of it, according to testimony. “Thank you for showing me that you are all mine,” he texted her after receiving a sizable chunk. Two weeks before her murder, Sardinha texted him to say that she could not hear, because he had broken her ear drum. In an exchange she recorded on her phone, she can be heard saying, “You keep hitting me.” “Massage my calves or end this relationship,” he replied. On the morning of the day she was killed, Sardinha told a friend that Charron woke her up with a demand for oral sex. She recorded herself begging him to leave her alone and let her sleep. “Can you please leave?” she asked repeatedly. “Please get away from me.” “You terrify me, because you don’t leave.” Later, filming himself in the apartment, he can be heard saying, “Oh my God, don’t hit me … Laura, why are you hitting me?” while she sits on the couch yards away, trying to ignore him. Just before noon, she went to the leasing office to ask if her locks could be changed. The apartment manager saw Charron approaching and let her hide inside, then walked her back to her apartment. A maintenance man changed her locks. Charron texted and called, but she ignored him. Around 1:15 p.m., she was on a three-way call with her mom and her best friend when they heard her cry, “Oh my God, he’s here.” It is not clear how Charron got inside her apartment. By his account, he simply walked through the unlocked door. After her friend hung up to call 911, Sardinha called her back and left a voicemail message in which she can be heard screaming, “He’s gonna kill me!” and “Get away from me!” The prosecutor said Charron stabbed Sardinha twice in the chest, nearly sliced her nose off, and stabbed her in the head so hard it bent a pronged tomato knife he was using. Police arrived soon after to find Sardinha dead, and Charron bleeding from wounds to his chest and neck. The prosecutor suggested he had inflicted them himself with a serrated steak knife to bolster his story that Sardinha had attacked him. “It doesn’t matter if he self-inflicted wounds or if she defended herself,” Madera said. “He was the aggressor 100% of the time.” At about 6 feet tall and 220 pounds, he was some 9 inches taller than Sardinha and more than 100 pounds heavier. “She can’t cut lemons and limes reliably with a knife, let alone defend her life,” Madera said. “He towered over her.” California FBI agent Richard Miller acknowledged his secret dealings with the Soviets, but claimed he did so to infiltrate Soviet intelligence and redeem his career. Taking the stand in his own defense, Charron described himself as a former combat medic with a 100% disability rating who received psychiatric treatment at the VA. He said he could not recall much of the confrontation with Sardinha, calling it “hazy.” But he insisted she had come at him with a knife and that he stabbed her in self-defense. “I didn’t quite comprehend what was happening in the moment,” he said. “It’s taking me a second to understand I’m being cut up.” During the trial, three of Charron’s ex-girlfriends testified that they had taken out restraining orders against him. One woman said he choked her and hit her in the head with a wine bottle. Another said he slapped her and poured vodka on her head. A third said he pinned her to a wall and punched a man who was in her company. “He has a problem with control,” Madera told jurors. “He doesn’t care for women who want to exercise free will.” In his closing argument, defense attorney Michael Guisti said that although his client had a history of violence, it was “non-murderous violence,” and argued the evidence suggested he might have acted in the heat of passion or in self-defense. He said Charron’s wounds had been serious enough that he was “basically dead” and had to be revived. “They need you to believe he faked his wounds,” Guisti said. Madera described Sardinha’s death as “cold-hearted murder” and pointed to the voicemail she left in her last moments. “You don’t hear the defendant on it, and his silence is absolutely deafening,” she said. “He’s enjoying taking his time killing her.” Superior Court Judge Michael Cassidy set a sentencing date of July 25. Charron faces the possibility of life in prison. Christopher Goffard is an author and a staff writer for the Los Angeles Times.

She felt that way. Again a lot of the stuff that y’all are seeing is misconstrued, and it’s not accurate, and that’s okay. Trust me,” Conover explained “She might have been over the relationship but she never not felt supported by me why does it matter?” Cohen pushed back as Conover reiterated that a few months before the breakup she was telling she “wanted to get married and have kids.” Cohen almost cuts him off to ask the juiciest question: is he dating anyone new it’s not Salley [Carson.] I heard someone [in the audience] say that I tend to date only one person at the same time and I’ve been reminded that the universe works in crazy ways and everything happens for a reason.” He also confessed that he returned DeSorbo’s engagement ring that same day “I just returned it this morning,” he shared so I took it back to the guy.” He also called DeSorbo’s friends’ “vitriol” of him “nasty”: “I want to encourage America to never act like that because I think it’s disgusting.” April 9, 2025: Another episode of Summer House, another scene of Paige DeSorbo desperately unhappy in her relationship. How did Craig not see this coming? In episode 9 Paige had a heart-to-heart with Ciara about being “the breadwinner” in her relationship if she’s the one financially supporting their lifestyle should Paige be the one to move and get pregnant Paige says she has to “dim her light” in order to make Craig feel comfortable Paige is giving more insight into her conflicted feelings. #SummerHouse #PaigeDeSorbo #CiaraMiller April 23, 2025: Cohen grilled DeSorbo on her past relationship with Conover, giving her space to clear up any misconceptions on their romance now that some time has passed. “I mean, obviously, yeah it wasn’t [mutual]. I broke up with him,” DeSorbo confirmed on WWHL “I feel like he was saying that because he wanted to be the victim she caused this.” She clarifies that she’s “dating people” and it’s “nothing serious.” “Exes don’t owe each other anything but I needed him to not lean into it.” She concluded April 26, 2025: Amazon wasn’t the only giant corporate entity trying to snake Indie Bookstore Day Craig posted a sponsored video celebrating his favorite books and would you believe How to Giggle was not among them Conover specifically shouted out The Let Them Theory which is the only book currently outselling Paige’s new book on the Times’ “Advice Bestsellers” list This is Spritz Society versus Loverboy all over again Love a good book like me?
