Russia says it confirmed Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin died in a plane crash

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:37:26 GMT

MOSCOW — Russian authorities on Sunday confirmed the death of Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, putting to rest any doubts about whether the wily mercenary leader turned mutineer was on a plane that crashed Wednesday, killing everyone on board. Genetic testing on the 10 bodies recovered at the crash site “conform to the manifest ” for the flight, Russian Investigative Committee spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko said in a statement. Russia’s civil aviation authority had said Prigozhin and some of his top lieutenants were on the list of seven passengers and three crew members.The Investigative Committee did not indicate what might have caused the business jet to plummet from the sky halfway between Moscow and St. Petersburg, Prigozhin’s hometown. But the crash’s timing raised suspicions of a possible Kremlin-orchestrated hit, while Prigozhin’s chameleon-like background allowed for speculation that he wasn’t on the plane or had somehow escaped death.Two months ago, Prigozhin, 62,...

Alioui scores twice as Le Havre rallies to draw. Reims moves to 3rd place in French league

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:37:26 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Striker Nabil Alioui scored his first pair of goals in the French top flight to help Le Havre rally to a 2-2 draw at Rennes on Sunday.Rennes wasted the chance to move level on points with Monaco and Marseille at the top of the league after squandering a two-goal lead.The 24-year-old Alioui, who honed his skills at Monaco’s academy, is getting his first taste of the top league in France this season.After Rennes dominated the first half and took command of the match with goals from Ludovic Blas and Chirstopher Wooh, Alioui revived Le Havre’s hopes with a header past goalkeeper Steve Mandanda five minutes before the interval.Le Havre’s chances took another blow near the hour mark with Samuel Grandsir’s sending off, but Alioui managed to snatch another goal in the 70th minute. Well set up by Loic Nego’s pass, Alioui made the most of some slack defending to curl a right-footed shot into the back of the net. Rennes lags two points behind Monaco a...

BYU charted its path to the Big 12 through independence

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:37:26 GMT

PROVO, Utah (AP) — BYU’s path to the Big 12 began with the unorthodox decision to leave an established conference for the uncertainty of playing as a football independent.The Cougars had just watched state rival Utah announce in 2010 that it would leave the Mountain West for what became the Pac-12 Conference, and they had no intention sticking around.They spent 12 seasons cobbling together oddball schedules and racking up flight miles with the specific purpose of maintaining and perhaps even reviving a dormant national brand.Whether the Cougars achieved that is debatable, and even athletic director Tom Holmoe acknowledged BYU didn’t have anything tangible like a conference championship to aim for each season. But BYU had the long-term goal of making a major conference, which happened last September when the Big 12 opened its doors to the Cougars to join this year.Did going independent help land BYU in the Big 12? It’s possible the Cougars, given their strong national fol...

Cash on the money for Aston Villa with two goals in a 3-1 win at Burnley in Premier League

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:37:26 GMT

BURNLEY, England (AP) — Matty Cash’s first goals for Aston Villa in more than a year inspired the team to a 3-1 victory over Burnley in the Premier League on Sunday.The right back came into the starting side as the only unforced change from Villa’s 5-0 midweek win over Hibernian in the Europa Conference League playoffs and ensured there was no European hangover for Unai Emery’s team by scoring twice in the opening 20 minutes.Lyle Foster gave Burnley hope with a goal two minutes into the second half, but Moussa Diaby — who set up one of Cash’s goals — restored Villa’s two-goal advantage just after the hour as the visitors ended a five-match winless league run on the road.Burnley built its Championship title-winning campaign on the back of a 21-match unbeaten run at Turf Moor, but has started life back in the Premier League with back-to-back home defeats after losing to Manchester City in the opening round.Cash, playing as a wing back, needed only eight minutes to score, s...

Rodri comes up with another big goal for Man City to seal 2-1 win at Sheffield United

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:37:26 GMT

SHEFFIELD, England (AP) — Rodri came up with another big goal for Manchester City, scoring in the 88th minute to secure the champions a 2-1 win at Sheffield United on Sunday and a third straight victory to open its Premier League title defense.After Erling Haaland responded to missing a first-half penalty by breaking the deadlock in the 63rd, it looked like City would be dropping points in a game it dominated when a mistake by captain Kyle Walker gifted Jayden Bogle an unlikely 85th-minute equalizer.Walker made amends by winning the ball back on the right wing and crossing to Phil Foden, whose miscontrol went straight to Rodri and the midfielder made no mistake with a fierce left-foot shot into the top corner.Rodri was the scorer of City’s winner in the Champions League final last season and has already scored twice this campaign, having netted at Burnley in the opening round.City is the only team with a maximum of nine points so far.City, and specifically Haaland, endured a f...

Culture and shared history cast by the wayside as the Big 12 and other leagues realign

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:37:26 GMT

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Like a rite of autumn on the patchwork of fields of western Kansas, farmers will soon climb into their combines and bring in the harvest, taking advantage of whatever good weather might come their way.If it happens to be a Saturday, they are probably tuning the radio to Kansas State football.It has been that way for generations across the corn belt, a quaintly American scene that has played out on farms ranging from Iowa and Missouri to Oklahoma and Nebraska. Other farmers there might be searching airwaves for their beloved Cyclones and Tigers, or Sooners and Huskers, and quite often the old rivals would be playing each other.Yet the ties that once bound so many schools together have been shattered by conference realignment. Shared history and cultural norms have been cast aside in the pursuit of money. And the latest round of maneuvering has birthed a soon-to-be 16-team league that will stretch from the sun-splashed beaches of Florida to the sun-baked deserts...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:37:26 GMT

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Chris Buescher and William Byron have this in common: Neither wants to declare himself the favorite heading into the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs.Both have a strong case, though.Buescher won three of the last five regular-season races, including the finale Saturday night at Daytona International Speedway. Byron, meanwhile, has a series-leading five victories and is tied for the points lead with Martin Truex Jr. as the postseason begins at Darlington Raceway next Sunday.Buescher and Byron have diverse resumes and definitive momentum.“I think we’re a contender,” Buescher said after leading RFK Racing to its first 1-2 finish in more than nine years. “We still have work to do. I don’t think we’re under the illusion that it has to go through us and us only right now. We’ve got tracks we still need to be better at. We’ve got work to do as a group and as a team to get in the hunt.“I surely feel confident about our ability to drive through the playoffs and feel like...
