AP Sports Summary for February 5th, 2025:

Each of the young figure skaters killed in the DC plane crash had a story waiting to be told

The young figure skaters whose lives were cut tragically short when an American Airlines flight collided with an Army helicopter and crashed into the Potomac River on Wednesday night were just beginning their journeys to stardom. Some of them were quickly rising through the ranks of U.S. Figure Skating, while others were still learning the very basics. All of them were coming home from a development camp in Wichita, Kansas, some of them accompanied by their parents and coaches. And all of them had stories that were only just beginning, and just waiting to be told.

Rangers get center J.T. Miller from Canucks in multiplayer deal

The New York Rangers have acquired veteran center J.T. Miller from the Vancouver Canucks in a multiplayer deal. The Rangers sent center Filip Chytil, defenseman Victor Mancini and a conditional draft pick to Vancouver. New York also received defensemen Jackson Dorrington and Erik Brannstrom. The Canucks were expected to trade either Miller or Elias Pettersson after a reported rift between the two stars. Miller was a last-minute scratch before Vancouver's game at Dallas on Friday night, and the teams announced the deal during the game. The 31-year-old Miller was drafted by the Rangers and played for New York for six seasons before being dealt to Tampa Bay in 2018.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray suffers lower right leg injury and team braces for long absence

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans guard Dejounte Murray left the Pelicans' game against Boston in the first quarter with an injury to his lower right leg. Murray had driven into the lane and took a shot, then went to chase after his miss. But he fell to the court and grabbed at the area near his right foot. When he got up, he hobbled toward the nearby Pelicans bench. The Pelicans said Murray would not return to Friday's game. Afterward, coach Willie Green and Pelicans players made clear they expect to be without Murray for an extended period.

Mercury acquire Satou Sabally from Wings as part of 3-team deal, AP source says

Satou Sabally is heading to the Phoenix Mercury as part of a three-team trade. That's according to a person familiar with the deal who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday night because the deal hadn't been announced. The Dallas Wings received Ty Harris and Kiki Herbert Harrigan from the Mercury as well as NaLyssa Smith and the No. 8 overall draft pick from the Indiana Fever. The Fever will acquire Sophie Cunningham and Phoenix's second-round pick. The Mercury also will get Kalani Brown and Sevgi Uzun from the Wings.

Young among those with reactions after not getting selected for NBA All-Star Game

Atlanta guard Trae Young doesn't view not getting picked for the All-Star Game as getting snubbed. He has a new word. "It's getting 'Traed' at this point," he wrote on social media. Young, the NBA's assist leader this season and a three-time All-Star selection, obviously wasn't pleased about not getting picked for the Feb. 16 All-Star event in San Francisco. The league's coaches pick the reserves for the game, their selections getting revealed on Thursday. And a few notables didn't make the cut, including Young and Phoenix's Devin Booker.

Sepp Straka leads by 3 at Pebble Beach as rough weather awaits the weekend

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Sepp Straka beat most of the weather and shot another 65 to build a three-shot lead in the AT&amp;T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He got a preview late in his round of what to expect this weekend when temperatures dropped and wind increased. Rory McIlroy had four bogeys in a six-hole stretch and salvaged his round of 70 with an eagle on the final hole. He was six behind. Scottie Scheffler saved par from the beach on the 18th hole and shot 70. He was seven back. Straka is coming off a victory in his last start in the California desert.

Tennis Hall of Famer Pam Shriver's trophies are back after being taken in stolen car amid LA fires

International Tennis Hall of Fame member Pam Shriver has her trophies back. Shriver said Friday that she regained the dozen or so pieces of hardware that were in a car stolen from the hotel where she was staying after evacuating from her home during the outbreak of the devastating wildfires in the greater Los Angeles area. Shriver won 21 Grand Slam doubles championships — all but one alongside Martina Navratilova — a gold medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics and a total of 111 doubles titles. Shriver, now a TV commentator, was inducted into the sport's Hall of Fame in 2002.

Saquon Barkley could be latest in line of free agents who helped deliver Super Bowl titles

The offseason addition of Saquon Barkley helped elevate a sluggish offense for the Philadelphia Eagles and lead the team to a Super Bowl. While building teams through the draft is still the most desirable avenue for success in the NFL, free agent additions have played a major role for several Super Bowl teams since unrestricted free agency came to the NFL in 1993. If Barkley can help deliver a Super Bowl title to Philadelphia when the Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs, he will join a list of free agent stars from Reggie White to Tom Brady who helped their teams win Super Bowl titles.

Would-be pro soccer players navigate NWSL futures without a college draft

Players and teams alike are navigating the first season in the National Women's Soccer League without a college draft. The NWSL became the first top-tier pro sports league in the United States to eliminate the draft last year as part of its collective-bargaining agreement with players. While many college players in years past prepared for a January draft, now they're on the open market. The players' union says the move gives players greater control over their pro careers.

International Skating Union to honor athletes killed in plane crash when Boston hosts world champs

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — International Skating Union President Jae Youl Kim has held back tears while announcing they will honor athletes and others killed in the mid-air collision near Washington, D.C., when the world championships are staged in Boston in March. Kim was visibly emotional telling media on Friday at the European championships in Estonia. Skaters, coaches and family members on their way back from a national skating camp in Wichita, Kansas, were among those who died when a passenger jet hit a helicopter on Wednesday. They included two teenage skaters, their mothers and two coaches who were part of the Skating Club of Boston. Kim also praised Dick Button, the two-time Olympic figure skating champion and broadcaster who died on Thursday at 95.

Here are the scores from yesterday's sports events:

📢📰🎧 Sports Headlines for Wednesday

HUTCHINSON, Kan. - As Yogi used to say,&nbsp;

“It’s deja vu all over again.”&nbsp; That is what it felt like in the Salthawk Activity Center Tuesday night as both Maize South Basketball teams earned big wins of the home town Salthawks with the Maverick girls winning a low scoring game that featured lots of defense 33-25 and the Salthawk boys rally coming up short in a 55-51 loss.

Maize South was led is scoring with 14 points as the 6'0" junior kept finding a way to score late in the contest. Aliyah Singhateh added 10 points including a key three point basket late in the game.

Hutch was led by seniors Grace Posh 9 points and Kaia Smith's 8.

Hutchinson was as cold as the Kansas Winter wind outside with 10 for 45 shooting on the night.

Once again, Maize South found a way to pull away late in the contest after Hutchinson had made a lopsided game in the first quarter into a classic leading by 2 points going into the final quarter 39-37.

Hutchinson trailed early in the first quarter 17 to 5 but the Salthawks flipped a poor start into a slim 24-23 lead at the half.

The Maverick's Tucker Lowe only had four points in the game, but his final basket inside the final 15 seconds in transition made the final score 55-51 after the Salthawks had cut the Maverick lead to two at 53-51 with a late rally including forcing several Maize South turnovers.

Maize South's Jalen Batiste was the game's leading scorer with 20 points including 13 in the first half. Reece Pauly added 10.

Hutch High was lead by Terrell King with 14, Lamar Govain also had 14 and Tremell Walker added 12. Walker played outstanding defense in the first half to help with the Salthawks rally in the second quarter when Walker hit two big three point shots to give the Salthawks the lead 24-23 at the half.

Hutchinson is now stuck in a seven game losing streak after starting the year 4-1. The Salthawks have not found a way to win several close games in 2025 and are now 4-8.

Hutchinson host Salina South on Friday at the SAC for the 3rd annual Pack-the-SAC night where local elementary schools will see who wins the school wide pizza party donated by Papa John's pizza and the Hutchinson High School Athletic Department for which Elementary School has the most participants at the event.

Everyone is encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to donate to the local food bank. Kids get a free Salthawk Pack-the-SAC t-shirt for a food item donation plus get in free to the games Friday night. Plus Hutch Regional Medical Center is helping out with $1 hot dogs.

The ICT Aerobelle Granny Basketball team will preform at the half of the boys game with an exhibition of how girls basketball was played back when it originated.

🏀 Several area teams found in latest KBCA rankings

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Travis Kelce has no plans to retire anytime soon even if the Kansas City Chiefs win a third straight Super Bowl on Sunday.

The future plans for the 35-year-old Kelce have been a lingering question as his fame has risen off the field thanks to his relationship with&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/taylor-swift">pop star Taylor Swift</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/travis-kelce-smarter-than-a-celebrity-interview-d25a9933be6720bd0cbafa1dd2547c22">a media career</a>&nbsp;thanks to one of the most popular sports podcasts.

Kelce was asked at opening night festivities Monday night before Kansas City plays Philadelphia in the Super Bowl where he plans to be in three years.

“Hopefully still playing football,” he said. “I love doing this, I love coming into work every day. I feel like I still have a lot of good football left in me. We’ll see what happens. I know I’ve been setting myself up for other opportunities in my life. That’s always been the goal knowing football only lasts for so long. You have to find a way to get into another career and another profession. I’ve been doing that in my offseason. But for the most part, I plan on being a Kansas City Chief and playing football.”

Kelce is still playing at a high level even if he has fallen off a bit from his peak. He had 97 catches this season but only gained 823 yards and scored three TDs.

Kelce had a throwback game in the divisional round win over Houston with seven catches for 117 yards and enters the Super Bowl with the most catches ever in the playoffs (174) and second to Hall of Famer Jerry Rice in yards receiving (2,039) and TD catches (20).

Kelce was one of the most popular players with the media during opening night with a large group of reporters and others surrounding his podium for the entire hour, peppering him with questions on all sorts of topics from football to dances to whether he planned to give Swift a ring if the Chiefs win on Sunday. He quickly responded, “A Super Bowl ring? Next question.”

Kelce did say his relationship with Swift helps him on the football field by providing motivation that he needs to work as hard as she does to remain at the top of his game.

Next question.”Kelce did say his relationship with Swift helps him on the football field by providing motivation that he needs to work as hard as she does to remain at the top of his game.

Kultida Woods, the Thai-born mother of Tiger Woods, died Tuesday morning, a week after being seen attending his indoor TMRW Golf League in Florida.

Woods did not reveal how his 78-year-old mother died in his&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/TigerWoods/status/1886816730569486452">social media post</a>&nbsp;announcing her death.

He described her as a “force of nature” who was quick with the needle and was his biggest supporter from the time she drove him to junior golf tournaments in California to being there for his 15 major championships, often wearing her wide-brimmed visor and sunglasses.

“My Mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply undeniable,” Woods wrote. “She was quick with the needle and a laugh. She was my biggest fan, greatest supporter, without her none of my personal achievements would have been possible. She was loved by so many, but especially by her two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie.”

Woods' father, Earl, died in 2006. Kultida had moved to South Florida when Woods relocated from Orlando to Jupiter.

President Donald Trump was among those who reached out&nbsp;<a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113946642879077926">with a post on his Truth Social</a>, calling her “an amazing influence” on Woods.

Tiger Woods says his 78-year-old mother has died

By ROB MAADDI AP Pro Football Writer

<a href="https://newsroom.ap.org/home/search/?query=byline:%22ROB%20MAADDI%22&amp;mediaType=text&amp;st=keyword&amp;sortOrder=newest"></a>NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Patrick Mahomes treated Super Bowl&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/live/super-bowl-lix-opening-night-media-day?version=1738636324025">opening night</a>&nbsp;like a two-minute drill, providing rapid-fire answers to one question after another. Travis Kelce passed on an inquiry about popping the question to Taylor Swift.

Been here, done that. That's how the Kansas City Chiefs handled the annual extravaganza that kicks off Super Bowl week.

The Philadelphia Eagles were here two years ago so they weren't fazed by the silliness either, though their most dynamic player is new to the wild experience that could overwhelm teams that aren’t used to the circus atmosphere.

Saquon Barkley got his first taste of this made-for-television spectacle. Nick Sirianni received letters, and a kiss from Chad Johnson. Jalen Hurts even cracked a smile or two.

Before Mahomes, Kelce and the Chiefs take on Hurts,&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/super-bowl-2025-saquon-barkley-free-agency-9abe4dace17d6ac88ada369a77607a45">Barkley</a>&nbsp;and the Eagles in the Super Bowl on Sunday, they had to tackle the media in waves.

Barkley wasn't here two years ago when the Eagles lost to the Chiefs 38-35. He left the rival New York Giants to join a winning team and did his part with a historic season.

“That’s why me and my family made the decision to come to Philadelphia, to have an opportunity to play in the Super Bowl. And here we are,” Barkley said.

The Chiefs have been here five times in the past six years so they're used to the strange questions and odd requests that have become far too common on opening night.

Mahomes picked NBA players for a mock football team, choosing Russell Westbrook at quarterback and Anthony Edwards at wide receiver. He even asked the media for restaurant recommendations.

Kelce talked up Swift's pop tarts and said he hopes to match her energy on stage when he's on the field. But asked if he plans to propose to his Grammy-winning superstar girlfriend, Kelce pulled a Drew Rosenhaus: “Super Bowl ring? Next question.”

Players were asked their favorite foods, colors, Kendrick Lamar songs and more. A Mexican television reporter gave Sirianni a stack of letters from fans. He also got a kiss on the head from Johnson, the former Bengals star also known as Ochocinco. The usually stoic Hurts cracked up laughing when someone tossed him a cookie — it was an errant throw. Browns quarterback Jameis Winston, working for a television network, fired questions at Darius Slay before telling him to eat a "W."

The Eagles went first, spending an hour talking to thousands of reporters from across the globe inside the Superdome. The Chiefs came later and received a loud ovation.

Media day has evolved from a daytime event on Tuesdays to a live, ticketed, prime-time showcase on national television. More than 6,000 media members from 26 countries were accredited to cover the Super Bowl last year in Las Vegas.

Yes, this is where a female reporter showed up in a wedding dress and veil and proposed to Tom Brady in Arizona in 2008. He politely declined.

Football’s Xs and Os take a back seat for the first night.

The Big Easy is hosting its 11th big game and first since the Baltimore Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers in the Harbaugh Brothers Bowl in February 2013.

The Chiefs are chasing history, aiming to become the first NFL team to three-peat in the Super Bowl era. The Eagles are seeking the franchise’s second Vince Lombardi trophy.

“We're obsessed with winning,” owner Jeffrey Lurie said.

Both teams arrived Sunday and every player and coach was available to the media for one hour on Monday night. A select group of players, including head coaches and quarterbacks, also have media sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Due to the hectic schedule, most of the preparation was completed last week. Game plans were installed and both teams held normal practices because this week won’t be routine.

One person who’ll be under the microscope this week is Eagles offensive coordinator&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/super-bowl-kellen-moore-saints-3b46d282a5d09f47eb66555b13e6fc2f">Kellen Moore</a>, who is a frontrunner to become the head coach of the Saints. Moore can’t accept the job until after the Super Bowl but he has to be preparing to assemble a coaching staff while focusing on the task at hand.

Staying focused will be a priority for everyone on both teams. Avoiding distractions, especially the first night, could set the tone for winning it all Sunday.

&nbsp;
IRVING, Texas -&nbsp;Today, the Big 12 Conference announced its 2025 football schedule as the league celebrates its 30th football season. The schedule will see all 16 programs play nine league games. The 30th year of Big 12 Football will kickoff in Dublin, Ireland, as Iowa State and Kansas State square off in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. This marks the first-ever Week 0 Conference game for the Big 12, as well as the first time a Big 12 competition has been held abroad. Following 15 weeks of action, the Big 12 season will conclude with the 2025 Big 12 Championship Game, held at AT&amp;T Stadium in Arlington, TX, in the first week of December. For the first time ever, the Big 12 Conference and Big 12 Studios will host a Big 12&nbsp;Schedule Reveal Show, which will be broadcast on ESPNU, FS2, truTV and streaming on MAX and ESPN+. The Big 12 will play 14 games against opponents from other Power Four conferences throughout non-conference play, with matchups beginning in Week One with Cincinnati hosting Nebraska at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, TCU playing at North Carolina and Oklahoma State taking on Oregon in Eugene the following week. Other notable non-conference games on Big 12 campuses include Baylor versus Auburn, Colorado hosting Georgia Tech, Iowa State's rivalry game against Iowa and UCF versus North Carolina. Defending Big 12 Champions Arizona State will kick off their conference slate in Waco against Baylor on Sept. 20, while a rematch of the 2024 Alamo Bowl will see BYU and Colorado square off in Boulder on Sept. 27. The Conference schedule also features early league match-ups with Houston hosting Colorado in the third week of the season. Newly-renovated David Booth Stadium will see its first Big 12 matchup on Sept. 20 as the Jayhawks host newly-minted head coach Rich Rodriguez and his West Virginia Mountaineers. UCF head coach Scott Frost will make his Big 12 debut as the Knights travel to Manhattan to battle the 2022 Big 12 Champions, Kansas State, on Sept. 27. Texas Tech - who boasts the top ranking in the transfer portal- will travel to Salt Lake City and Rice-Eccles Stadium as the Utes and Red Raiders square-off in Week Four. New chapters will be added to Big 12 rivalries throughout the season, including Baylor's game at TCU in Week Eight with Utah traveling to BYU in the same week. The Sunflower Showdown between Kansas and Kansas State is scheduled for October 25 with the Territorial Cup between Arizona and Arizona State set for the final week of the regular season. To fulfill pre-existing scheduling agreements established before the Big 12 expanded to 16 members, Arizona and Kansas State will play a non-conference game in Week Three in Tucson. Big 12 television partners ESPN, FOX and TNT Sports will make their selections for the first three weeks of the season, which will be the first set of kickoff times released. Select Saturday games in the 2025 season may be moved to select Fridays, other special dates, and Black Friday and will be announced in the coming weeks.

⚾ KU to play 2 games at Equity Bank Park in Wichita

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell disputed the perception that officials favor the Kansas City Chiefs, saying it’s a “ridiculous theory.”

Goodell addressed several topics, including diversity, an 18-game season,&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/super-bowl-2025-goodell-international-47862fd499887c37bfc1d21ea63c7645">international expansion</a>, Tom Brady’s dual role as a broadcaster and co-owner and more during his annual news conference that kicked off Super Bowl week on Monday.

The Chiefs are going for a three-peat Sunday in a rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles, who lost to Kansas City 38-35 two years ago.

The two-time defending champions have benefited from calls that have gone their way in the playoffs. There were two roughing-the-passer penalties during a 23-14 victory over Houston in the divisional round that viewers, including Fox broadcasters Troy Aikman and Joe Buck, considered egregious.

A questionable spot on Josh Allen’s sneak on fourth-and-1 in the fourth quarter of Kansas City’s 32-29 victory over Buffalo in the AFC championship game became a major point of contention.

“A lot of those theories are things that happen in social media and they get a new life,” Goodell said during his 48-minute news conference inside the Saints’ locker room. “I understand that. I think it reflects a lot of the fans’ passion and is a reminder for us on how important officiating is. I think the men and women officiating the NFL are outstanding. We have the highest possible standards. It’s a ridiculous theory for anyone who might take it seriously. But at the end of the day it’s something we have to work at, how do we make our officiating better.”

Goodell said the league evaluates officials in several ways.

“It’s not just the performance on the field but things that go on in their own lives.” Goodell said. “We monitor that very closely in a number of ways. .... It’s a tough job, a really hard job. I’ve never seen a more dedicated group of people to getting it right, doing the best job they possibly can. And I’m proud of the work they do.”

NFL executive Kimberly Fields told The Associated Press last week the league plans to engage its Competition Committee on technology to take virtual line-to-gain measurements next season, but officials will continue to spot the football.

“What this technology cannot do is take the place of the human element in determining where forward progress ends,” Fields said. “There will always be a human official spotting the ball. Once the ball is spotted, then the line-to-gain technology actually does the measurement itself.”

Goodell said the league will continue to work with partners to develop the technology needed to potentially help with spotting the ball in the future.

Goodell said he doesn’t believe the NFL’s policies to promote diversity are in conflict with the Trump administration’s efforts to ban diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal government.

The NFL has rules in place that require teams to interview diverse candidates for key coaching and front office positions as part of the Rooney Rule that has been in place for more than two decades.

Several NFL owners contributed to Donald Trump’s campaign or conservative causes during the 2024 election cycle.

“Our owners participate in everything that we do,” Goodell said. “Our policies have been designed to be well within the law, well within the practice. There are no quotas in our system. This is about opening that funnel and bringing the best talent into the NFL.

“We also believe we are doing the right thing for the NFL and our policies are consistent with the current administration as well as the last administration.”

The NFL is aiming to have a team outside the United States.

“I do think there’s potential that someday we will have an international franchise. If we do, it would not surprise me at all if a Super Bowl follows and is played there,” Goodell said.

The NFL has made a big effort to expand its footprint worldwide with games played in England, Germany, Mexico and Brazil in recent years with a game scheduled for 2025 in Spain.

But as of now, the Super Bowls have been played in NFL stadiums and international sites haven’t been considered.

A Super Bowl outside of North America would present challenges in terms of time zones for the U.S.-based broadcasters.

Goodell said there’s “a lot of work to be done” before the NFL possibly expands its season to 18 regular-season games.

The league hasn’t had formal negotiations with the players’ union about adding a game to the season but Goodell said he has had informal discussions with NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell Jr.

The NFL added a 17th game and cut the preseason from four games to three before the 2021 season and Goodell has indicated an interest in eventually adding another regular-season game.

“If we do, 18 and 2 might be a possibility,” he said. “We know fans love football and they want more football. But we have to be incredibly sensitive and smart with the balance and how we deal with that.”

Goodell said changes the league has made in terms of equipment, and training in the offseason and preseason have helped reduce the number of concussions and other injuries, making adding an additional game more palatable.

The league will consider whether rules surrounding Tom Brady’s role as an analyst for Fox and a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders need to be altered in any way.

Brady was officially approved as a minority owner of the Raiders in Las Vegas and played a big role during the team’s search for a new coach and general manager last month that led to the hiring of Pete Carroll and John Spytek.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion is also in his first season as an analyst for Fox and is under rules that prevent his access to team facilities and production meetings with players and coaches.

Brady is under the same tampering rules as any other member of the league and has checked in frequently to make sure he isn’t violating any rules.

“I think he’s serious that he separates these two and he doesn’t put the league or anyone in a position of conflict,” Goodell said.

The NFL plans to look into the “serious” allegations that Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker engaged in sexually inappropriate conduct with several massage therapists.

Nine massage therapists from five spas and wellness centers have told the Baltimore Banner that Tucker engaged in sexually inappropriate conduct during sessions from 2012-16.

Tucker said in a statement last week that he has never received any complaints from a massage therapist or been told he was not welcome at a spa or other place of business.

“They are obviously serious issues and he is taking that seriously as are we,” Goodell said.

 </figure>NEW ORLEANS (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell disputed the perception that officials favor the Kansas City Chiefs, saying it’s a “ridiculous theory.”Goodell addressed several topics, including diversity, an 18-game season,&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/super-bowl-2025-goodell-international-47862fd499887c37bfc1d21ea63c7645">international expansion</a>, Tom Brady’s dual role as a broadcaster and co-owner and more during his annual news conference that kicked off Super Bowl week on Monday.The Chiefs are going for a three-peat Sunday in a rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles, who lost to Kansas City 38-35 two years ago.The two-time defending champions have benefited from calls that have gone their way in the playoffs. There were two roughing-the-passer penalties during a 23-14 victory over Houston in the divisional round that viewers, including Fox broadcasters Troy Aikman and Joe Buck, considered egregious.A questionable spot on Josh Allen’s sneak on fourth-and-1 in the fourth quarter of Kansas City’s 32-29 victory over Buffalo in the AFC championship game became a major point of contention.“A lot of those theories are things that happen in social media and they get a new life,” Goodell said during his 48-minute news conference inside the Saints’ locker room. “I understand that. I think it reflects a lot of the fans’ passion and is a reminder for us on how important officiating is. I think the men and women officiating the NFL are outstanding. We have the highest possible standards. It’s a ridiculous theory for anyone who might take it seriously. But at the end of the day it’s something we have to work at, how do we make our officiating better.”Goodell said the league evaluates officials in several ways.“It’s not just the performance on the field but things that go on in their own lives.” Goodell said. “We monitor that very closely in a number of ways. .... It’s a tough job, a really hard job. I’ve never seen a more dedicated group of people to getting it right, doing the best job they possibly can. And I’m proud of the work they do.”NFL executive Kimberly Fields told The Associated Press last week the league plans to engage its Competition Committee on technology to take virtual line-to-gain measurements next season, but officials will continue to spot the football.“What this technology cannot do is take the place of the human element in determining where forward progress ends,” Fields said. “There will always be a human official spotting the ball. Once the ball is spotted, then the line-to-gain technology actually does the measurement itself.”Goodell said the league will continue to work with partners to develop the technology needed to potentially help with spotting the ball in the future.<h2>Diversity</h2>Goodell said he doesn’t believe the NFL’s policies to promote diversity are in conflict with the Trump administration’s efforts to ban diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal government.The NFL has rules in place that require teams to interview diverse candidates for key coaching and front office positions as part of the Rooney Rule that has been in place for more than two decades.Several NFL owners contributed to Donald Trump’s campaign or conservative causes during the 2024 election cycle.“Our owners participate in everything that we do,” Goodell said. “Our policies have been designed to be well within the law, well within the practice.

AP Sports Summary for February 4th, 2025:

NFL emails reveal extent of Saints' damage control for clergy sex abuse crisis

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Hundreds of internal emails show executives of the New Orleans Saints were far more involved than previously known in providing public relations help to Catholic Church leaders as they confronted a clergy sex abuse crisis. The emails sharply undercut assurances the Saints provided five years ago when they asserted they had provided only "minimal" assistance to the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Survivors of clergy abuse say they're disgusted by the team's involvement. The Saints said in a statement Saturday that the team does not condone sex abuse. They also criticized the media for using leaked emails to misconstrue what they called "a well-intended effort."

Chiefs and Eagles handle the Super Bowl opening night spectacle like they've been here, done that

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Patrick Mahomes treated Super Bowl opening night like a two-minute drill, providing rapid-fire answers to one question after another. Travis Kelce passed on an inquiry about popping the question to Taylor Swift. Been here, done that. That's how the Kansas City Chiefs handled the annual extravaganza that kicks off Super Bowl week. The Philadelphia Eagles were here two years ago so they weren't fazed by the silliness either, though their most dynamic player is new to the wild experience that could overwhelm teams that aren't used to the circus atmosphere. Saquon Barkley got his first taste of this made-for-television spectacle. Nick Sirianni received letters, and a kiss from Chad Johnson. Jalen Hurts even cracked a smile or two.

Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett requests to be traded so he can have chance at Super Bowl

CLEVELAND (AP) — Star defensive end Myles Garrett has requested a trade from the Cleveland Browns with the hope of better positioning himself to play in a Super Bowl. That's according to a statement he sent to media outlets. The Browns finished last in the AFC North with a 3-14 record and general manager Andrew Berry said last week that he would not trade Garrett. Garrett is under contract with the Browns for two more seasons under a five-year, $125 million extension he signed in 2020.

Umpire Pat Hoberg fired by MLB for sharing sports gambling accounts with friend who bet on baseball

NEW YORK (AP) — Umpire Pat Hoberg was fired by Major League Baseball for sharing his legal sports gambling accounts with a friend who bet on baseball games and for intentionally deleting electronic messages pertinent to the league's investigation. MLB opened the investigation last February when it was brought to its attention by the sportsbook, and Hoberg did not umpire last season. While MLB said the investigation did not uncover evidence Hoberg personally bet on baseball or manipulated games, MLB senior vice president of on-field operations Michael Hill recommended on May 24 that Hoberg be fired. Commissioner Rob Manfred said Monday he upheld Hill's decision. Among the highest-rated umpires at judging the strike zone, Hoberg can apply for reinstatement no earlier than 2026 spring training.

Medics attend to fan who collapsed courtside at Spurs, Grizzlies game

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Medics attended to a fan who collapsed courtside before the San Antonio Spurs vs. Memphis Grizzlies game. The teams were preparing for the opening tipoff Monday night when attention turned to the courtside seats. Medics were working on the man on the floor as both teams were sent back to the locker rooms and the game was delayed. The man was taken out of the arena on a stretcher after about seven minutes. The game started after a 45-minute delay.

Young's fadeaway with 1.6 seconds left lifts Hawks to slump-busting 132-130 win over Pistons

DETROIT (AP) — Trae Young made a 23-foot fadeaway with 1.6 seconds left and scored 17 of his 34 points in the fourth quarter, lifting the Atlanta Hawks to a 132-130 win over the Detroit Pistons. Young helped the Hawks end an eight-game losing streak. Cade Cunningham had 30 points and 14 assists for the Pistons, who failed to attempt a shot on their final possession. Atlanta's De'Andre Hunter had 20 points and rookie Zaccharie Risacher added 17 points. Detroit's Tobias Harris scored 22, Jalen Duren had 18 points and nine rebounds and Malik Beasley scored 18.

Chiefs' Butker enters his 5th Super Bowl confident in his kicking and his beliefs

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Harrison Butker is expressing confidence in his kicking and in the stances he's taken on some sensitive issues as he enters his fifth Super Bowl. Butker says he never expected to be as well known as he is as a kicker. He says playing for the Chiefs in four Super Bowls and winning three NFL titles has helped give him a big platform. Last offseason, he generated headlines and drew his share of criticism for his stance against Pride month and abortion. But he says he doesn't feel the need to apologize for anything and feels like God has prepared him to feel confident in who he is.

'Strive for greatness' was LeBron's message to Doncic in 2018. And as teammates, that won't change

Luka Doncic came to the NBA in 2018 calling LeBron James his idol. The first time they went head-to-head, Doncic asked James during the game if he could have his jersey. And after that game, Doncic headed to the Los Angeles Lakers locker room to pick up the souvenir. James wrote a message on the purple jersey. "Strive for greatness," James scrawled, those words being his longtime mantra. Here they are, almost seven years later, set to strive for more greatness — together.
