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?

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. Then, over the first 30 minutes of football Saturday on a frigid late afternoon in Baltimore, they looked like the playoff Ravens of…
Coco Gauff walks onto the court in the middle of the day. The stadium is half-full, if that. So far, she mostly takes care of her main business in a little over an hour.

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…
JASNA – Mikaela Shiffrin built a big lead in the opening run of a women’s World Cup slalom Sunday, a day after the American ski star’s main rival sustained a season-ending injury.
