Mark Grant was considering retirement two years ago after a long career as a director at CBS and ESPN. Those plans changed though when CBS Sports executives offered him the chance to be the lead director for college basketball and the NCAA Tournament.Grant will be the director for Monday night’s national championship game between San Diego State and UConn, and it’s believed he will be the first Black director for a championship game in any sport.“I know what this means to people who look like me, and I don’t take that lightly at all,” Grant said. “When you think about it, there haven’t been many opportunities. I hope this will open doors and give some opportunities to other people. We have a lot of talented Black people doing sports, I hope that they can look at me and say, ‘Well, if he can do it, then so can I.’ It just takes a lot of work, a lot of preparation and luck. You’ve got to be in the right place at the right time. ”Grant replaced Bob Fishman, who retire...

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Daniil Medvedev captured his fourth ATP title of the year on Sunday, beating Jannik Sinner 7-5, 6-3 for the Miami Open men’s singles title and to move to 6-0 in their career matchup.Medvedev is now the most sizzling player on the men’s tour, winning 24 of his last 25 matches after his 1-hour, 34-minute triumph. His only loss has come against world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in last week’s final at Indian Wells. Sinner ran out of magic, with his three-hour win late Friday night over Alcaraz in the semifinals — when he had mild cramping in the second set — looking to have taken a toll on the 21-year-old Italian. Sinner was visited by an ATP trainer midway through the first set Sunday. During the changeover at 4-3, Sinner received a packet of powder that he dumped into a water bottle to drink.“Woke up this morning not at my best — a little bit sick,’’ Sinners said during the during the post-match ceremony, acknowledging that the crowd was behind him. “Thanks ...

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Mark O’Meara is reminded every year how meaningful it was to win the Masters.O’Meara was on the practice green Sunday at Augusta National, 25 years removed from his birdie-birdie finish to win his first major. Now he is 66 and plays the PGA Tour Champions only occasionally. But he remains part of Masters week.And he has company, young and old.Also on the putting green was Bernhard Langer. They were with a half-dozen kids barely into their teens, preparing for the Drive, Chip and Putt Finals.There was little to suggest the first major of the year had arrived.“It never gets old,” O’Meara said. “I feel blessed. I feel privileged. I don’t play the tournament anymore, but I still come and enjoy what the Masters Tournament is all about.”Ultimately, it’s about a green jacket that gets presented in seven days.What makes this Sunday so unusual is the stage for the Masters is just a private club.

Finnish PM Sanna Marin set for defeat in national vote

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:58:58 GMT

Finland’s center-right National Coalition Party was on course to take power in a general election Sunday after voter concerns about the economic outlook fed dissatisfaction with Social Democrat incumbent Sanna Marin, a star of the European left. With 99 percent of votes counted, the National Coalition Party (NCP) under the leadership of Petteri Orpo had secured 48 of Finland’s 200 parliamentary seats, pushing Marin’s party into third place with 43. The far-right Finns Party was second with 46 seats. The defeat of Marin would represent the latest blow for the European left with Germany’s Olaf Scholz under pressure at home and Sweden’s Magdalena Andersson voted out at a general election last September. Denmark’s Mette Frederiksen won a second term last fall only after a sharp shift to the political right. Marin pushed a traditional left-leaning campaign in the run-up to Sunday’s vote, railing against proposed public spending cuts by the center-right and calling on Finns...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:58:58 GMT

If the Orioles are looking for good news out of Sunday’s finale to their season-opening series at Fenway Park, it’s that they only have to face Adam Duvall in 10 more games instead of 16.The Boston Red Sox center fielder continued to pound Baltimore pitching in Sunday’s series-ending 9-5 victory as the Orioles dropped a set they were an out from claiming. Duvall, who signed with Boston this offseason, is well on his way to joining a list of Baltimore terrorizers around the American League East, one that as of late has included Gleyber Torres, Randal Grichuk and Randy Arozarena, after going 8-for-14 with three doubles and two home runs in the series. That performance included a walk-off home run Saturday after Orioles left fielder Ryan McKenna dropped what would have been a game-ending flyball with two outs in the ninth.Major League Baseball’s scheduling changes, which include each team facing the other 29, mean six fewer games against each divisional opponent...
