Rett Madison Loves the Mac

Fleetwood MacGreatest Hits (Warner Bros.)Rett Madison Loves the Mac: Singer, songwriter and musician Rett Madison told us about her love for a classic Fleetwood Mac comp.(Warner Bros.)Rett Madison: Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest Hits was the soundtrack to my earliest memories of my mother, Jackie. Whenever we’d take a drive through the Appalachian hills, my mother—most often adorned in leopard print and large black sunglasses—would sing along to Stevie Nicks’ vocals in between drags of her Marlboro Reds.My most requested song from the back seat of my mom’s 1996 Mercedes was “Everywhere.” As a little girl, I was entranced by Christine McVie’s vocal and I affectionally nicknamed it the “The Magic Song” because the intro reminded me of spells and wind chimes. I was blown away to learn as an adult that the intro was actually a half-speed acoustic and electric guitar combined.Whenever I feel homesick or nostalgic, Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest Hits is my go-to album. The songs on this album have co...

Why the Oakland A’s on-field struggles could last for years

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:58:33 GMT

The A’s were historically bad this season while winding up with a hideous 50-112 record after losing Sunday’s season finale. Even worse, there’s little reason to believe things will get a lot better over the next few years.The stench of losing like this won’t go away overnight.History has shown it’s extremely difficult for a team to lose 112 or more games in a season. Somehow, John Fisher’s A’s made it look relatively easy for much of the year — at least for those who could bear to watch — while becoming just the eighth team in MLB’s 121-year-old Modern Era to lose 112 or more games.As such, the A’s were one of the teams who experienced a clinching game this week. While the others celebrated division titles or playoff berths, there were no champagne bottles passed out when the A’s clinched the worst record in the majors for just the second time in their 55 years in Oakland – joining their 97-loss ’97 team.Signs of trouble this season f...

Draymond’s health and Chris Paul’s role among 4 hot topics to follow heading into Warriors’ media day

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:58:33 GMT

The Warriors are heading into preseason determined to right what went wrong in a failed title defense.“We need to have a good training camp,” coach Steve Kerr said last week. “It’s imperative that we get off to a better start this year not just in terms of our record but in terms of our preparation.”A long offseason after a disappointing loss in the Western Conference semifinals forced the Warriors to give themselves a hard look in the mirror. Months have passed; the roster has undergone some major changes as the Warriors depart from their two-timeline plan and are in a win-now mode.Kerr did some self-reflecting during his summer away and acknowledged he needs to be better, too.“It’s a lot easier for me to come in as a coach and be more demanding,” he said. “I think the players will expect that, too.”Buckle up, it all starts this week.Camp officially opens Tuesday, but the Warriors will hold media day on Monday. There will be plenty of storylines to fol...

SANTA CLARA — Here is how the 49ers (4-0) graded in Sunday’s 35-16 home win over the Arizona Cardinals (1-3):San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback Brock Purdy (13) hugs San Francisco 49ers’ Jake Brendel (64) on the sidelines during their game against the Arizona Cardinals late in the fourth quarter at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Oct. 1, 2023. (Nhat V. Meyer/Bay Area News Group) PASS OFFENSE: A+Brock Purdy was 21-of-22 (franchise-record 95.2 completion percentage) and, although he was mad about his third-and-long incompletion out of field-goal range, he got help en route to that 283-yard, 134.6-rating day. In particular was pass No. 8 amid a 13-of-13 start: a 42-yard “opportunity ball,” as described by Purdy who himself was astonished how Brandon Aiyuk torqued his body to grab it in double coverage. “It was just amazing to see B.A. change trajectory, basically a 40-degree turn to get to the ball,” center Ja...

VAR was supposed to cut out errors. Now the integrity of the Premier League is in question

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:58:33 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — VAR was supposed to put an end to all of this.The fallout from Luis Diaz’s wrongly-disallowed goal in Liverpool’s 2-1 loss at Tottenham on Saturday resulted in the Merseyside club issuing a statement, saying it would “explore the range of options available given the clear need for escalation and resolution.”It is not clear what those “options” are and The Associated Press has contacted Liverpool and the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), the referees’ governing body, for clarification. But the tone of Liverpool’s statement on Sunday revealed the club’s frustration after Video Assistant Referee (VAR) Darren England failed to award Diaz’ goal, despite replays clearly showing the forward was onside.The PGMOL later acknowledged the mistake was a case of “significant human error” and England and his assistant Dan Cook were stood down from further duty over the weekend.Diaz’s goal would have put Liverpool 1-0 u...

Una demanda por fraude civil de 250 millones de dólares presentada por la oficina de la fiscal general de Nueva York contra Donald Trump, su empresa y dos de sus hijos irá a juicio el lunes en un caso que podría tener amplias implicaciones para los negocios del expresidente.Se espera que el juicio sin jurado en Manhattan dure unos tres meses y concluya el 22 de diciembre y será decidido por el juez Arthur Engoron.Recientemente, el juez se puso del lado de la oficina de la fiscal general estatal, Letitia James, al determinar que Trump cometió repetidos actos de fraude durante años que incluyeron mentir a bancos y aseguradoras al sobrevaluar y subvaluar sus activos y exagerar su patrimonio neto en miles de millones de dólares.Los argumentos de Trump para defender las declaraciones fraudulentas se basan en “un mundo de fantasía, no el mundo real”, escribió Engoron en un fallo de 35 páginas la semana pasada.El fallo, que permitió que el caso fuera a juicio esta semana, también tendrá re...
