An NCAA Tournament loss to Michigan left coach Bill Self dejected. But after signing two top recruits in May, the Kansas Jayhawks are back “in the game” again.
The Chiefs have revealed plenty of two-tight end formations during their offseason program and spent plenty of time at least trying to throw the ball to both of their new tight ends, Anthony Fasano and Travis Kelce. The signs are everywhere that the tight end as a pass receiver is back in the Chiefs offense under new coach Andy Reid.
As live sports programming (like the NBA playoffs featuring LeBron James, above) becomes more coveted by advertisers, ESPN and other networks are bidding in the billions to secure broadcast rights. And those costs — ESPN charges TV providers more than $5 per month per subscriber, making it by far the most expensive basic cable channel — get passed to the consumer, whether they like sports or not. Some have called it a sports tax on their cable bill.

Maj. Derrell Jeffords bounced his roaring Spooky 21 down and off the runway at Da Nang Air Base in Vietnam. It was just before 7:30 a.m., on Christmas Eve 1965. The big camouflaged belly of his twin-prop AC-47 was easily visible against a blue sky as he banked west.
The cargo plane-turned-gunship was on its way to Laos; its mission was top secret.
You can bet your bikini bottoms I braved 66 degrees on an overcast Thursday to test drive the new slide park at Oceans of Fun. Why would I do that? For you. Because Saturday, rain or shine, marks the start of water park season.
For two hours, “Behind the Candelabra” lays bare Liberace’s loneliness, his insecurity, his narcissism and his futile attempts to keep his sexuality a secret before his death from AIDS. The film, which premieres Sunday on HBO, isn’t a smear job, but it’s not a revelation, either.
Baking bread is at once invigorating and soothing. You can take out aggression on dough, hurl it at the counter from a foot high and punch it with your fists if you want. You can’t hurt it. Or you can find a gentle reverie in the dough, squeeze its cool pillowy sides with your finger and rock the heels of your hands lazily back and forth in the center. The main thing is to find a rhythm and just keep going.
The selection has never been greater or more stylish for outdoor furniture. There’s all-weather wicker, modern mesh and other open weaves. Teak in all shades from honey to warm grays, metal in sleek stainless steel and rustic wrought-iron looks in a range of painted hues.

Kansas City soon will be the only city in America that doesn’t hold its Police Department accountable to elected officials and local voters. It’s an untenable situation, especially after seeing what’s happening in St. Louis.
Barack Obama just had his worst week in a deeply flawed presidency. It’s not as bad as Jimmy Carter’s presidency, but it’s still one that can make even the most right-wing conservative long for Democrat Bill Clinton.
The electorate is locked into supporting or opposing the president, observers say, with little regard to ongoing events.
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Man and Woman of the Year fund-raising campaign this year raised $567,278 among the 23 candidates.
Strawberry season may be short, but strawberries are so concentrated with flavor it is unforgettable.
