Deion Sanders is Sports Illustrated's 2023 Sportsperson of the Year

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 08:04:21 GMT

The photo shoot was progressing the way they often do, becoming a war of wills pitting the perfectionists with the cameras and the lighting and the smoke machine against the impatient subjects arrayed in front of them. Between poses, Deion Sanders was getting fidgety.The coach of Colorado was surrounded by his people: His agent, the school’s chancellor and athletic director, and 99-year-old superfan Peggy Coppom were among the entourage. As the photo crew pored over details, Sanders lobbed one-liners at his sons—social media maven Deion Jr., Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur and safety Shilo. He wrapped his arm around his daughter, Colorado basketball player Shelomi, kissing her on the temple. He bent over to speak so tiny Peggy could hear him. (Peggy is Deion’s match in terms of personality. “I thought I was coming for the Swimsuit edition,” she said.)But eventually, this shoot at Folsom Field needed to wrap so Coach Prime could get back to coaching. “We’re doing one more shot,” he sai...

Von der Leyen floats fiscal rule reform as ‘game changer’ for EU defense build-up

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 08:04:21 GMT

BRUSSELS — European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen hinted on Thursday that EU countries boosting their defense spending should have that taken into account when calculating whether they are running an excessive deficit.“Our fiscal framework can and should meet two compatible objectives: ensure sustainable public finances, while also supporting member states’ investment efforts in strategic public goods. And this applies also to defense capabilities,” von der Leyen said in a speech at the European Defence Agency. EU rules limit countries to running a budget deficit of 3 percent of GDP, with a public debt ceiling of 60 percent of GDP. But the COVID pandemic followed by the energy emergency is straining public finances at a time when countries are looking to boost their defense spending — potentially falling afoul of the bloc’s rules.“In the [European] Council, there is now broad support to consider increases in defense spending as a relevant factor w...

ECB to choose between culture and nature for new note design

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 08:04:21 GMT

It’s owls and the Danube vs. Mozart and Picasso in the showdown of the century.The European Central Bank said on Thursday it has boiled down its shortlist for what to put on the next generation of euro banknotes to two themes: “birds and rivers” and “European culture.”The choice, which confirms what POLITICO reported in September, was taken on the basis of two surveys of the public. In one, commissioned by the ECB and conducted by research firm Kantar, “European culture” was the most popular theme, gaining approval from 21 percent of a 23,000-strong sample, followed by rivers (18 percent) and birds (17 percent). The central bank decided to merge the two themes of birds and rivers in the final shortlist. “We wanted to reflect the preference of the survey results as broadly as possible,” an ECB spokesperson said, pointing out that both themes refer “to nature and the environment.”In a broader survey conducted online by the ECB, in which 365,000 people pa...

Are Chicago White Sox all set up the middle? What can aid Andrew Vaughn’s growth? 3 questions for the team’s infield.

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 08:04:21 GMT

It has been an offseason of change in the middle infield for the Chicago White Sox.That has been the norm at second base, where the Sox have had a different starter at the position on opening day each of the last 11 seasons.But it’s a new scenario at shortstop, at which Tim Anderson was the fixture for eight seasons. The two-time All-Star became a free agent after the Sox declined his $14 million club option for 2024 on Nov. 4.The Sox took their first steps to address second base and shortstop by acquiring middle infielders Nicky Lopez and Braden Shewmake on Nov. 16 as part of a six-player deal that sent reliever Aaron Bummer to the Atlanta Braves.They signed veteran shortstop Paul DeJong to a one-year deal announced Tuesday.“What attracted me to the White Sox was just being from the Chicago area, growing up in Antioch,” DeJong said during a videoconference call Wednesday. “Having that major-league deal really helped me decide to come here, and having family ...

Orioles roundtable: Four questions heading into MLB winter meetings

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 08:04:21 GMT

Next week, the movers and shakers of MLB will convene in Nashville, Tennessee, for the apex of the offseason.Whether the Orioles are among the teams that make a splash remains to be seen, but this year’s meetings will see Baltimore in a vastly different spot than in previous years of executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias’ tenure. His first few offseasons were spent as the leader of one of baseball’s worst teams, and while the Orioles were buyers this time last year, the upcoming meetings will bring more pressure for the club to upgrade its roster after a 101-win season that ended with a thud in the playoffs.Ahead of the winter meetings, Baltimore Sun beat reporters Nathan Ruiz and Jacob Calvin Meyer and editor Tim Schwartz give their thoughts about how the next week might progress.What is the Orioles’ top winter meetings priority?Ruiz: Making headway on a significant starting pitching acquisition, whether it be through free agency or trades....
