https://tvline.com/news/sinead-oconnor-dead-cause-of-death-obituary-singer-1235019235/ Irish singer and musician Sinéad O’Connor has died, the Irish Times reported Wednesday. She was 56. Her cause of death has not yet been revealed. O’Connor’s career spanned four decades, beginning with her 1987 debut album The Lion and the Cobra, which reached gold status and earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Vocal Rock Performance. Nine more studio albums followed, including her last in 2014 titled, I’m Not Bossy, I’m the Boss. The artist wrote on her Facebook page this month that she was finishing an album to be released next year, and also shared plans to head out on a global tour in 2024-2025. She was an eight-time Grammy nominee, winning Best Alternative Music Performance in 1991 for “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got.” Additionally, she won three MTV Video Music Awards for her rendition of the Prince-written “Nothing Compares 2 U.” That track reached No. 1 in several countries and remained at the top of the charts in Ireland for 11 weeks. The singer is survived by her three children. Her son, Shane, died last year at the age of 17. More to follow…

https://www.mlb.com/news/commissioner-rob-manfred-s-term-extended Major League clubs have voted to extend Commissioner Rob Manfred’s tenure through Jan. 25, 2029, MLB announced Wednesday. Manfred, who assumed the Commissioner position in January 2015, will remain in the role for the next five full seasons. The extension comes in the midst of a 2023 season in which the league has seen a surge in attendance, national television viewership and social media engagements after a series of revolutionary rule changes that improved the pace of action. “At a critical moment in the history of our game, Commissioner Manfred has listened to our fans and worked closely with our players to improve America’s pastime,” John Stanton, chairman and managing partner of the Mariners and the elected presiding officer of the Commissioner re-election process, said in a news release. “Under his leadership, we have been responsive to the fans’ desire for more action and better pace, continued the game’s spirit of innovation, expanded MLB’s role in youth baseball and softball and beyond. The significant momentum that MLB has built reflects his ongoing initiatives that are advancing the game.” A graduate of Cornell University and Harvard Law School, Manfred joined MLB full-time in 1998 as an executive vice president, overseeing labor relations, economics and league affairs. He was MLB’s chief operating officer prior to succeeding Bud Selig as Commissioner. “It is an honor to serve the best game in the world and to continue the pursuit of strengthening our sport on and off the field,” Manfred said in the release. “This season, our players are displaying the most vibrant version of our game, and sports fans are responding in a manner that is great for Major League Baseball’s future. Together, all of us in the game will work toward presenting our sport at its finest and broadening its reach and impact for our loyal fans.” Manfred’s Commissionership has been rooted in the concept of growing the game’s reach locally and globally, with an emphasis on youth participation, an increase of action on the field and bringing MLB games to places they had not been before. Upon his initial election to the Commissioner position in 2014, Manfred had said that getting more kids involved in the sport was a main priority. His first act as Commissioner-elect was to visit the Little League World Series. “We want our youth participation programs to be umbrella programs,” he had said at the time. “Black, white, male, female, urban, rural, rich, poor. We want all kinds of kids playing.” Soon after, the Play Ball initiative, which encourages young people and communities to engage in baseball- or softball-related activities, was born, and it has led to significant participation increases since it was launched. Furthermore, the MLB Develops program broadened the league’s efforts to steer children from underserved and diverse communities toward baseball and softball with events like the Breakthrough Series and Dream Series. Another key goal Manfred set when he became Commissioner was improving the pace of play, advocating for the concept of the pitch timer and restrictions on the infield shift as early as 2015. After years of careful study, along with input from a committee of players, and more than 8,000 games of Minor League testing, the 2023 adoption of those ideas, along with bigger bases, has produced a reduction in average game times by nearly 30 minutes, a spike in stolen bases and more hits on balls in play. Paired with the adoption of a more balanced schedule, MLB saw an attendance increase of more than 8% in the first half, with 77% of clubs experiencing an increase in attendance. MLB announced earlier Wednesday that last night’s attendance was the second-best non-holiday Tuesday since Aug. 19, 2008. Additionally, the median age of ticket buyers is now six years younger than 2019. On the digital side, MLB.TV has received 8.4 billion minutes watched, a 9% increase over last year’s all-time record, while logged in users for MLB digital platforms are up 23%, and social media views are up 67%. Manfred also helped usher in expanded playoffs as part of the 2022 Collective Bargaining Agreement, with six teams now qualifying for the postseason in each league, which has helped bring the excitement of playoff races and playoff baseball to more fan bases. As of July 26, there are 22 teams with a greater than 10% chance of reaching the postseason, according to FanGraphs. The 2023 season also saw the second installment of the London Series, which began in 2019 and marked the first time MLB games have been played in Europe. The London Series will return in a 2024 schedule that, including Spring Training, will feature games in four countries outside the U.S. and Canada. In the United States, MLB games have been brought to unique and iconic locales, including the Field of Dreams Game in Dyersville, Iowa., the Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pa., MLB in Omaha at the College World Series site, the Fort Bragg Game in North Carolina, and next year’s Negro Leagues tribute game at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Ala. More recently, Manfred has cited the improvement of the game’s broadcast reach as a priority. The Diamond Sports Group bankruptcy has expedited the elimination of blackouts in Arizona and San Diego, with MLB recently taking over the regional sports networks for D-backs and Padres broadcasts. Manfred’s tenure included the unprecedented challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the shutdown of Spring Training and the creation of a 60-game schedule and expanded postseason format, with rigorous health and safety protocols. MLB became the first pro sports league to start and finish a season in its home markets during the pandemic, with 898 of a possible 900 games played in 2020. At one point, MLB went 59 straight days without a positive test among Major League players. In terms of community impact, two significant developments during Manfred’s initial tenure were the 2021 creation of Lou Gehrig Day to spread awareness and raise funds for people living with ALS and their families, as well as the 2023 launch of MLB Together, a platform emphasizing baseball’s efforts to make important societal contributions through the power of partnership and community. Under Manfred’s leadership, MLB has continued to enhance and expand on its pillar partnerships with the Jackie Robinson Foundation, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Stand Up To Cancer. ---------------

Man that is rough to watch... He should just retire and enjoy the rest of his life, the dude is 81... It is rough to watch Biden do things like that as well...

Newt Gingrich says it would be a 'terrible idea' to actually impeach Joe Biden — but he supports starting an inquiry https://www.businessinsider.com/newt-gingrich-impeach-joe-biden-terrible-idea-2023-7 With House Republicans potentially launching an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is offering his own take on the matter. Gingrich, a Georgia Republican who led the 1998 impeachment of President Bill Clinton when he was speaker of the House, told the Washington Post that it would be a "good idea to go to the inquiry stage." But, he added, "impeachment itself is a terrible idea." "The only short-term consequence of a successful impeachment is [Vice President] Kamala Harris [becoming president], and Kamala would be such a total disaster for the country that Biden's corruption is probably preferable to her incompetence," Gingrich also told the Post. The Republican-led impeachment of Clinton is widely seen as having politically backfired, leading to Republicans losing some seats in the 1998 midterms and Gingrich resigning as speaker. But Gingrich told the Post that he doesn't worry about the political repercussions of a potential Biden impeachment. In teasing the potential impeachment, McCarthy has pointed to unsubstantiated claims that an informant made to the FBI of second-hand knowledge that a Ukrainian gas company owner may have paid the Bidens $10 million in bribes. The Bureau criticized Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa last week after he released a document summarizing the claims, telling Insider in a statement that the release "unnecessarily risks the safety of a confidential source."

https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/michigan-coach-jim-harbaugh-expected-to-be-suspended-four-games-for-false-statements-to-ncaa-per-reports/ Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh is "expected" to be suspended for the first four games of the 2023 college football season as part of a negotiated resolution between the program and the NCAA, according to Yahoo Sports and multiple reports. Harbaugh is accused of providing false or misleading information to the NCAA during an investigation into alleged recruiting violations made in 2021 during an extended recruiting dead period stemming from COVID-19. "We are continuing to work cooperatively with the NCAA staff on an enforcement matter," Harbaugh's attorney, Tom Mars, told ESPN. "At this time, we are not allowed to comment on possible penalties or other aspects of the matter." The NCAA alleges that Harbaugh lied to investigators during an initial meeting about the violations. Dishonesty to investigators is a separate Level I violation in the NCAA's rulebook. It appeared as if the parties were headed towards a resolution in the matter earlier this year; however, while those negotiations were ongoing, Harbaugh refused to sign a document admitting that he was dishonest during that first meeting. The Wolverines coach has consistently maintained that he was not purposefully dishonest; rather, he claims he did not remember the events that led to the recruiting violations. Harbaugh's penalty will almost assuredly be harsher than what it would have been if the NCAA believed he cooperated from the onset as all four violations were of the Level II variety. Michigan, which is expected to begin the season as a consensus top-five team nationally, opens the 2023 campaign with four home games against East Carolina, UNLV, Bowling Green and Rutgers. Multiple Wolverines assistants, including offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore and tight ends coach Grant Newsome, are expected to receive some form of punishment from the NCAA stemming from this investigation. Former Michigan defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald, who left the program to join John Harbaugh in the same position for the Baltimore Ravens, is reportedly in line for a one-year show-cause penalty that would stymie a return to college athletics. Last year, the NCAA notified Michigan of the four alleged Level II violations. Those included meeting with two recruits during the COVID-19 dead period and texting a recruit outside of a permitted window. Beyond the recruiting violations, the Wolverines are accused of having analysts perform on-field coaching duties during practice with coaches monitoring player workouts via Zoom. Level II violations are defined by the NCAA as "less than a substantial or extensive recruiting, competitive or other advantage."

https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/38068007/bruins-captain-patrice-bergeron-announces-retirement Boston Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron, one of the best two-way forwards ever, announced his retirement Tuesday. "It is with a full heart and a lot of gratitude that today I am announcing my retirement as a professional hockey player," he said in a first-person story on NHL.com. "As hard as it is to write, I also write it knowing how blessed and lucky I feel to have had the career that I have had, and that I have the opportunity to leave the game I love on my terms. It wasn't a decision that I came to lightly. But after listening to my body, and talking with my family, I know in my heart that this is the right time to step away from playing the game I love." Bergeron retires one day after his 38th birthday. He had considered retirement a year ago but returned on a one-year contract and helped the Bruins to the best regular-season record in NHL history. Boston lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Cinderella Florida Panthers, who went on to lose in the Stanley Cup Final. Bergeron does have one Stanley Cup of his own, winning it in 2011. Boston also lost in the 2013 Final. He spent his entire 19-year career wearing the spoked-B sweater. Bergeron finishes as a three-time All-Star but most importantly, he was one of the best two-way centers ever -- winning the Selke Trophy as the league's best defensive forward a record six times. He won it the last two seasons. Despite his defensive prowess, he still scored 427 goals and had over 1,000 points. In his statement, Bergeron thanked the fans, his teammates and his family for their support. He concluded: "Finally, to the next generation of hockey players. I had a dream at 12 years old, and through hard work and perseverance my dreams came true more than I ever could have imagined. Respect the game and your peers. Welcome adversity and simply enjoy yourself. No matter where you go from there the game will bring you so much happiness," he said. "As I step away today, I have no regrets. I have only gratitude that I lived my dream, and excitement for what is next for my family and I. I left everything out there and I'm humbled and honored it was representing this incredible city and for the Boston Bruins fans."

Happy birthday Jerry!!! Here is too many more...
