Major League Baseball has a new record holder in several single-season and career categories. Legend and Hall of Famer Josh Gibson will take the top spot on lists that include single-season batting average (.466 in 1943) and slugging percentage (.974 in 1937) - and become the career leader in both - as Negro Leagues statistics become part of the Major League Baseball historical records. The Negro Leagues were officially elevated to MLB status in 2020. Some 2,300 people played...
The Denver Broncos’ tumultuous and disappointing season continued Monday with the firing of first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett. The move brings some unknown, especially scheme-wise, just six days before the Chiefs welcome the Broncos to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. But the Chiefs will be prepared for whatever comes their way. “The fact that there could be some changes that take place offensively, defensively, special teams — I’m not sure who they put in that position to determine what goes on or not go on — but there...
A lot can change in a week. At this time seven days ago, Kansas State and Texas Tech were afterthoughts in the Big 12 championship race because both teams were coming off a disappointing loss. But first place will be on the line when they play at 11 a.m. (CDT) on Saturday inside Bill Snyder Family Stadium. K-State (3-1, 1-0 Big 12) bounced back with a thrilling victory at Oklahoma. Texas Tech (3-1, 1-0 Big 12) flexed its muscles by beating Texas in overtime. Suddenly, this conference matchup is loaded with meaning. Here is...
LUBBOCK -- Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self did not expect his team's eight-game winning streak to continue indefinitely. "First of all, we were not going to go 18-0 in our league. We were probably not going to go 17-1. I'd like to think we would, but that's not the type of league that we play in," Self said after No. 25-ranked Texas Tech's 75-67 victory over No. 6 KU on Saturday afternoon at United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock. The Red Raiders (11-3), like KU 1-1 in Big 12 play, handed the Jayhawks (12-2) their...
All year long in her cell in Texas, Lisa Montgomery crochets angels and Christmas tree ornaments and elaborate nativity scenes overrun with more angels. On Christmas Eve, her attorneys called her to say that a judge in Washington, D.C., had ruled that a new execution date for her couldn’t even be scheduled until Jan. 1 at the earliest. Then, she’d have to be given the legally required 20 days notice of that new date, according to the ruling from D.C. District Judge Randolph Moss. It wasn’t clear how much of this Montg...
Each year, Washington awards visas to immigrants who bring skills and qualifications prized by high-tech companies. This is an eminently sensible policy, since highly trained immigrants add greatly to the nation's stock of human capital and as a group, they have a high propensity to start companies of their own. That creates more jobs for Americans. There's one problem. The number of these special visas, called H1-Bs, is too low — only 65,000, with 20,000 more awarded each year to foreign students with master's degrees or h...
