Bob Costas believes there’s at least one change Major League Baseball players and owners should agree to in their upcoming labor negotiations, fewer regular season games. The current MLB collective bargaining agreement expires after the 2026 season, and according to most analysts, a lockout seems likely. While quarrels over a salary cap are destined to Read more...

    Ligue Europa : Le match de la 7e journée de de l’Europa League entre le FC Utrecht et le Racing Genk, prévu jeudi au Stadion Galgenwaard, n’a pas débuté à l’heure prévue. Le coup d’envoi, initialement fixé à 20h GMT, a été retardé en raison de graves incidents survenus dans le secteur réservé aux supporters visiteurs.   Selon plusieurs sources concordantes belges et néerlandaises, des supporters genkois ont forcé ou contourné les dispositifs de sécurité à l’entrée du stade, provoquant une situation jugée préoccupante par les autorités. L’intervention de la police anti-émeute a été nécessaire pour sécuriser la zone, contraignant l’UEFA à repousser le début de la rencontre d’environ cinquante minutes.   Des failles dans le dispositif de sécurité   Peu avant le coup d’envoi, environ une centaine de supporters du Racing Genk auraient pénétré dans le secteur visiteurs sans respecter les contrôles habituels, certains étant dépourvus de billets valides ou n’ayant pas été fouillés correctement. Cette situation a rapidement créé des tensions dans le « uitvak », obligeant les forces de l’ordre néerlandaises à intervenir.   Un match finalement maintenu   Après une longue concertation entre les organisateurs, la police et les délégués de l’UEFA, la décision aurait été prise de maintenir la rencontre. Le coup d’envoi sera finalement donné à 20h50 GMT. Une informations confirmée d’ailleurs par Utrecht.     L’article Europa League (J7) – FC Utrecht vs Racing Genk : un coup d’envoi retardé après des incidents en tribunes est apparu en premier sur AfricaFootUnited.

L'illusion de la facilité de l'IA générative s'est rapidement dissipée lorsque j'ai du traiter Claude Code comme un développeur junior à distance.

Le 14 janvier, le tribunal administratif de Nice a condamné une commune au paiement d'une importante somme au titre d'une astreinte, car elle s'opposait délibérément à l'injonction, par le juge, de délivrer un permis de construire. La Cour des comptes a reçu copie de ce jugement, et pour rappel, les élus locaux sont justement justiciables devant elle dans cette situation précise.

When things are going the way they’ve been going for the Knicks, can you ever definitively say you’re confident in them to win, regardless of opponent? Yes, on paper, it was more likely the Knicks (26-18) would embarrass the Nets (12-30) by biblical margins than it was for them to manage to lose, especially when fully healthy. But after whatever the hell happened on MLK Day (and in Sacramento), the offense’s recent short-circuiting, and the fact that Cam Thomas has a penchant for scoring in bunches against the Knicks, I was worried. Maybe I should’t have been. Some things transcend slumps and horrifically bad vibes. When one team owns another the way the Knicks do to the Nets, they’ll win no matter what. This effect was reversed a few years ago, as the Nets, in the midst of their ten-game winning streak against the Knicks, came back from a 21-point halftime deficit despite missing Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Ben Simmons. Sometimes, you just own a team. Nic Claxton would know, that’s 13 straight. "Me I never lost to the Knicks since I been in the league" –– Nic Claxton now 0-13 vs Knicks since thispic.twitter.com/Oe39S43NFJ— New York Basketball (@NBA_NewYork) January 22, 2026 Every so often, we get a game that makes you dig deep into the Statmuse files. Let’s see what we can get from this historic, 54-point drubbing: It’s the largest margin of victory in franchise history. For a team that’s now played 6,231 games since 1946, that’s a lot. It breaks a three-way tie of games in 1968, 1972, and 1994, all 48-point wins. The Knicks led by 59 in the final minute before the Nets scored five to end the game. That 59-point lead is probably the largest in franchise history, but we only have concrete data in the last 30-ish years. Looking at the box scores of the pre-play-by-play era games, I don’t think an anyone got to 60. It’s the second-largest margin of victory by an NBA team this season. The Hornets destroyed the Jazz, 150-95, 11 days ago. The Knicks would’ve had this one, but Danny Wolf had to statpad with 10 seconds left. Alas! The Knicks last allowed 66 points or fewer on April 13, 2012, when they smacked the Wizards 103-65. Wizards’ leading scorer? Jordan Crawford (who went 6-for-20 from the field). The Nets are the first NBA team to score fewer than 70 points since… them last season (67). Last one to score less than that was the Mavericks on November 18, 2016, losing a disgusting 80-64 game to Memphis. Who remembers the 79-73 a few years ago? The Nets last scored this few points on March 12, 2005. In case you forgot, team’s score more in like four minutes now than they did in whole quarters 20 years ago. For reference, with 66 points, the Knicks have had 21 halves this season where they’ve put up 66 points. They’ve also allowed 10, with six coming since Christmas (yikes) The Knicks have won 13 straight games against the Nets. It’s the longest streak in the rivalry’s history and is quickly rivaling the streak the Knicks had against the Pistons from 2020-24 of 16 straight. 120-66 is such a ridiculous score. It’s happened once before in NBA history, but it’s a score you’re more likely to see in non-conference college basketball. In November 2024, UMass Lowell beat NAIA Fisher College, 121-66. That’s a bunch of Division I athletes destroying a non-NCAA school. This just shouldn’t happen in the NBA with 15 of the best 450 players in the world on each bench. There’s not much to say about the game itself. The only time the Nets looked anything other than total dog poo was when Egor Demin nailed two threes early. From what I’ve seen so far, the No. 8 overall pick has by far the best chance of becoming a solid NBA starter of the five first-round picks the Nets had this year. He’s shown some advanced playmaking, and the BYU product is a sneaky good shooter. Egor Dëmin has, for the majority of his rookie season, shut down the narrative that he’s a non-shooter He’s not just hitting catch-and-shoot looks, but he’s consistently…
