Tyree’s spectacular catch against his helmet was a key play in the team’s 2008 Super Bowl upset of undefeated New England. He replaces Charles Way, who became the head of the NFL’s Player Engagement Department earlier this month. The 34-year-old Tyree played for the Giants from 2003-08.

Instead of scoffing about the (literal) dark times ahead, here’s some things you can do with your extra hour. Catch up on your favorite TV show Your Netflix queue needs some TLC. Now, you have time to shamelessly catch up on The Crown ahead of the fourth season premiere, or finally finish Schitt’s Creek....

Champions-elect City are 16 points clear of rivals United following Monday’s comfortable 2-0 victory at lowly Stoke City. With the international break looming, City are next in action at Everton on March 31 before welcoming Jose Mourinho’s United to the Etihad Stadium on April 7. City can seal their third Premier League trophy and first since 2014 with victory over the Red Devils. “I think all of City would like that - to try and win that game for the title,” said De Bruyne, whose City are also in the quarter-finals of the Champions League....

A new No.1 was, in fact, Real’s first and only priority for the window that slammed shut on January 31. Athletic star Kepa was approached by Madrid, but chose to underline his loyalty by signing a new contract at the Basque club. That decision leaves Costa Rica international Navas in the hotseat for the next few months. After the World Cup, however, he might find his place compromised by the arrival of one of the world’s elite goalkeepers....

The team, led by Durham University researchers, observed the white dwarf binary TW Pictoris, where a dead star is feeding on material from its stellar companion. In the system, which is 1,400 light-years from Earth, material from the companion star forms a disc around the white dwarf and falls to its surface in a process that astronomers call accretion. As the material, which is mainly hydrogen and helium, reaches the surface of the dead star it briefly becomes brighter....

City 40/1 to draw 2-2 with Liverpool Long before the transfer window closed they had missed out on both Alexis and Evans and failed to recoup any money whatsoever for Mangala. It was Arsenal who scuppered City’s chances of securing Alexis, the one remaining priority target, by failing to get their own ducks in a row. Evans was by no means a priority at the start of the summer but ended it as the only viable option who ticked all of the boxes required by Pep Guardiola....

NEWSWEEK: You’ve been working on this for a few years. What’s new now? Dean Kamen: In a perfect world I’d say we’re still probably a year away from being able to make reasonable quantities for testing and probably two years away for very high-volume production that will meet the needs of the world.

The free-agent center agreed to sign with the Mavericks last week, with Dallas owner Mark Cuban even hawking about signing Jordan and ending up fined for it. But no deal can become official until 12:01 a.m. Thursday, when the NBA’s moratorium period is lifted, and thus the possibility remained that anything could happen.

The 22-year-old defender, who has become one of the most promising young players on the team, will likely be assigned the difficult task of tracking Joel Campbell, Costa Rica’s best player, as well as offering a much-needed spark offensively on the right side.

It’s now here again with both Jordan and James included among the NBA’s 75 greatest players released in celebration of the NBA’s 75th anniversary season....

Then 2022 happened. As the world’s powerful leaders subsequently faced off and the threat of global economic damage rose, Ukraine’s funny man proved how capable and serious he could be. Zelenskyy not only faced Russian President Vladimir Putin and refused to leave Ukraine but also further unified and inspired his country. His story shows anyone can step up and be a leader. But rising to the occasion, as he did, requires ditching the lies many of us have been told about what leadership means and takes....

Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green give the Warriors four All-Star players who are still on the happy side of 30 years old. Curry is 29, and Durant turns 29 in September. Thompson and Green are 27. It’s a wrecking-ball foursome that stands on the brink of a championship and a possible perfect 16-0 playoff run, one that has the rest of the league — as well as fans, broadcasters and folks in the league office — worried about the impact of a collapse of competitive balance....
