Liverpool appears to have the squad depth to last the pace in the Premier League title race. Shorn of Mohamed Salah — away at the Africa Cup of Nations — as well as creative midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai and most of their first-choice defense, the league leaders comfortably stymied the threat of in-form Bournemouth in a…
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — You want to know who held Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers accountable Saturday, with the clock running out, the rain coming down, Deebo Samuel out injured and the Green Bay Packers just a play or two from a monumental playoff upset? You want to know who assigned responsibility and…
His posture was so familiar. The uniform, not so much. As the national anthem played Saturday before the Kings and New York Rangers faced off at Cyypto.com Arena, Jonathan Quick stood, bent over, his body angled toward the row of seven retired Kings jerseys displayed at one end of the ice. Someday, a version of…
BALTIMORE — They told anyone who would listen that this was a different team, that they had learned from past playoff failures, that they were “locked in” on making a Super Bowl.

It’s an advantageous position for a team coming off an unexpected 10-win season and a run to the playoffs. It remains to be seen how general manager Les Snead and coach…
A drizzle of optimism worked its way into the Lakers locker room Wednesday night. The Lakers had just beaten Dallas for their fourth win in six games. It was a stretch that saw them take care of the Clippers’ James Harden, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Thunder before handling Luka Doncic and…
There’s a gray line in sports. It straddles right from wrong. Some don’t like it when people are on the gray line, but it’s perfectly legal and even expected if you’re ambitious and seeking to exploit every possible advantage. In basketball, there’s the player falling down and embellishing a charging foul. In baseball, there’s the…
