CELTICS READY TO MAKE AN IMPORTANT DECISION ON JRUE HOLIDAY Celtics may get Jrue Holiday back Thursday night against the Hawks BOSTON — The Celtics may get Jrue Holiday back in the lineup Thursday night as they look to return to their winning ways against the Hawks in Atlanta. Holiday is listed as questionable for Thursday’s tilt after participating in Wednesday’s practice. That’s progress for Holiday, who missed the last five games with an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder that he suffered back on March 17. He had been listed as “doubtful” on Boston’s injury reports, so the…

TAMPA — The Yankees are not just playing baseball but Whac-A-Mole less than a week before Opening Day. The past two weeks have seen a steady influx of fresh ailments following a comparatively calm start to camp; Anthony Rizzo’s latest setback on Friday is reason for concern. Regarding his left lat stiffness, which prompted him to be scratched from the Yankees’ 5-3 victory over the Mets at Steinbrenner Field, Rizzo did not truly seem concerned. However, considering the Yankees’ prior history with these matters, it might be wise to hold off on making any firm declarations on the veteran first…

LONDON: In the absence of a larger free trade agreement with the US government, Britain inked its eighth trade pact with a US state on Wednesday: the one with Texas. In London, Texas Governor Greg Abbott and UK Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch signed the agreement. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak informed Abbott during their meeting that it was a “exciting moment.” The “statement of mutual cooperation” binds Texas and Britain to enhance corporate collaboration and address trade-related regulatory hurdles, but it is not a comprehensive trade agreement because individual U.S. states lack the authority to join such agreements. “Remember that this…

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will have his felony securities fraud charges dismissed in exchange for doing 100 hours of community service and meeting other requirements, according to a last-minute deal announced Tuesday. The agreement requires Paxton, 61, to complete 15 hours of legal ethics classes and pay about $300,000 in restitution to the victims. Over the coming 18 months, Paxton cannot violate the law or he could again face trial, and he will have to check in with special prosecutors every 60 days in a virtual appointment. All in all, the resolution—which was declared, signed, and filed during a seven-minute court…

By bringing in some competition for the No. 3 quarterback position, the Philadelphia Eagles are reorganizing their quarterback room. According to ESPN, Will Grier inked a one-year contract with Philadelphia, where he will face Tanner McKee for the No. 3 spot on the roster. Although Grier spent the 2022 preseason with the Dallas Cowboys while Moore was the offensive coordinator and signed with the Los Angeles Chargers in December after Justin Herbert was lost for the season, Grier does have some experience with the new offensive coordinator of the Eagles, Kellen Moore. Moore oversaw the offense for the Chargers the…

Despite the Kansas City Chiefs’ recent on-field success, owner Clark Hunt has come under fire for the team’s antiquated facilities, especially the locker room, as an NFLPA report from this past season made clear. Hunt, though, has denied any allegations that he violated any agreements on upgrades. The Chiefs’ stadiums were the second-worst in the NFL. After three titles and back-to-back Super Bowl wins since Patrick Mahomes joined the team, the Chiefs’ training complex is still among the oldest in the National Football League. I appreciate you seeing. The Chiefs were ranked close to the bottom of the NFLPA’s second…

Tee Higgins landing spots: WR requests trade from Bengals after no progress on long-term deal… Tee Higgins will not be playing football in Cincinnati the next season if he gets his way. According to prominent NFL analyst Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, the Bengals wide receiver has asked for a trade because the team hasn’t discussed a long-term contract extension with him. Higgins was assigned a franchise tag by the Bengals prior to the commencement of free agency. With the tag, he will earn $21.8 million, but naturally, that will only get him a one-year contract. Higgins was originally…

NEWS UPDATED: Eagles would be crazy to agree to accept this trade proposal…. You won’t believe what the Eagles are giving up in this recent trade proposal (and what they’re being offered as compensation). Absurd trade suggestions are starting to surface now that the peak of free agency has passed and the league’s attention is mostly on the impending draft. The draft conversation is dominated by fictitious scenarios, the most recent and outlandish of which involves the Eagles and will include a trade of draft picks, if at all. Owing to their offensive prowess, in particular, and the apparent friction…

The athletic director of Alabama was still taking in what had happened approximately two and a half hours earlier that afternoon, just like most people in the college football world. Entering the team meeting room at the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility, Nick Saban abruptly announced his retirement to his players. At the end of one of the greatest coaching streaks in American sports history, Alabama had completed 17 seasons, 206 wins,…
