Earlier this week, Conway made the sudden announcement that she would be leaving her role at the end of August, after serving in the Trump administration for nearly four years. Ahead of her speech at the Republican National Convention, Conway told reporters outside the White House that Trump had been supportive of her even when they disagreed. “I’m telling you, everybody, but I think particularly women, should have men in their life like that, should have a boss like that at some point,” she said in a response to a question by Just The News....

Farbod Esnaashari of Bleacher Report reports that Walker and Boston “are likely to move forward from their relationship this offseason in a mutual agreement between the parties.” News of this potential parting comes just two years after Walker elected to join the Celtics in free agency. He came to the Celtics via a sign-and-trade that sent Terry Rozier to Walker’s former team, the Hornets, and was supposed to help Boston take the next step toward being a contender....

“Pretty close,” Walker said during his introductory news conference with New York. Walker grew up in The Bronx, N.Y., and played some of the best basketball of his career in Madison Square Garden during the 2011 Big East Tournament. Going to the Knicks would seem natural, right?

After Jansen gave up a game-tying home run in the ninth inning to Toronto’s Rowdy Tellez, the fans let Jansen know they were not happy. And he doesn’t blame them. “I get it. Boo me,” Jansen said Thursday (via the Los Angeles Times). “Yeah … I’d boo myself. I didn’t want the results. I was [hurting] myself out there.” It’s been that kind of year for the 31-year-old right-hander. He’s blown six saves in 32 opportunities....

Kennedy’s audience at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government rewarded the speech with a standing ovation. But critics dismissed it as a mea minima culpa. “Shortcomings” and “faults” were as close as Kennedy came to acknowledging the womanizing, the carousing and the Palm Beach rape case that made him a joke–and kept him largely silent–during the Clarence Thomas hearings. “I didn’t expect him to grovel, but his situation requires something more,” said Gary Orren, professor of public policy at the Kennedy School....

While the outside post is not exactly ideal, it’s far better than being on the rail and it figures to suit the colt’s front-running running style nicely. “Outside doesn’t really bother me,” trainer Bob Baffert said on NBC Sports Network’s coverage of the Derby’s post-position draw. “I just didn’t want to be down stuck on the inside because it forces your hand. He’s a fast horse, and basically in this race, with that many horses, you have to break well anyway....

John Pennington, 40, of Walton is accused of violating Canadian quarantine acts two separate times while visiting the country in June. Americans are currently barred from staying in Canada because of the ongoing pandemic. Some U.S. citizens have reportedly found a loophole in the requirement. Those without coronavirus symptoms are allowed to go through Canada as a means of getting to and from Alaska, The Guardian reported. However, they must use the most direct route in getting to Alaska, can only use drive-thru windows for food, and must enter quarantine if they need to stay in a Canadian hotel....

In all, ESPN said more than 90 NBA scouts and personnel executives were on hand for the opening Kentucky practices, to which Calipari and the Wildcats extended invitations for all 30 teams. All were represented, even though many groused about the formality of it. Still, there was good reason for the show. Kentucky has nine All-Americans on the roster, and depending on which players enter which drafts, there could be as many as 10 first-rounders playing for Calipari this year....

Thomas publicly challenged his old Eastern Conference rival Martin to a fight back in May for charity but the bout never came to fruition.

But it’s obvious it still sits in his craw that he wasn’t a factor the year after he won the title. So to get his second win of 2014 and, barring a complete disaster, know he’ll be in the Chase gives Keselowski satisfaction. And the fact that both those wins came on 1.5-mile tracks — in March at Las Vegas and then Saturday night at Kentucky Speedway — gives him hope....

Pjanic keeps picture of Spalletti in locker The midfielder has been linked with various clubs over the course of the season due to his starring role for Atalanta, with the Serie A side said to have rejected offers for him in January.

By my son Paris’s 4th birthday, I had the No. 1 record in the world, REO was touring nonstop and my life was moving at warp speed. By his 10th birthday, Paris’s mother and I were divorced.

The 43-year-old was drafted by the Timberwolves with the fifth overall pick in the 1995 NBA draft and spent 12 seasons with the franchise before being traded to the Boston Celtics in 2007. He returned to Minneapolis in February 2015 before retiring at the end of the following season after negotiating a buyout with Taylor. When Garnett’s second spell with the Timberwolves began, he spoke with then-team president Flip Saunders—who had coached him in his first decade in the NBA and who engineered the trade that brought him back to Minnesota—about the possibility of becoming a minority owner of the franchise....
