That’s my biggest focus.”Nussmeier, who turns 22 in February, has appeared in parts of 17 games over three seasons with the Tigers.

Arsenal limps into 2024 after ‘worst performance of the season.’ Tottenham closes in on top four

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:38:56 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Arsenal is limping into 2024 after a damaging stretch that culminated in what coach Mikel Arteta called “the worst performance of the season” on the final day of the year. A toothless Arsenal side lost 2-1 at Fulham on Sunday despite taking the lead in the fifth minute, a second straight defeat that means the team stayed in fourth place in the Premier League — when a victory would have lifted it into first. “It’s a really sad day because today we didn’t deserve to win the game,” Arteta said. “That was the worst performance of the season.”It continued a worrying run that has seen Arsenal end 2023 with just one win in its last five league games, including its first home loss of the season to West Ham on Thursday. Arsenal would have provisionally climbed above Liverpool atop the table with a win, but could find itself five points off the lead if Jurgen Klopp’s team beats Newcastle on Monday. Arsenal stayed in fourth — having been top of the table at Christmas — and ...

2023 was a year of turmoil – here is some of what made headlines

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:38:56 GMT

With the books closed on 2023 it’s fair to say it was a year filled with turmoil both domestically and internationally.The nation began the year with egg prices sitting at historic highs, struggling to overcome the lingering impacts of inflation, and dealing with increased energy prices driven by COVID-19 recovery and a war in Europe. The 2024 election had officially begun with former President Donald Trump’s announcement he would seek a second term for a second time.The drama continued in January with a new Republican led U.S. House of Representatives, whose first action was to spend days struggling to select a speaker.After 15 ballots, the most since the Civil War era, California Republican Kevin McCarthy won the gavel. He would hold it for only nine months, after members of his own party eventually moved to replace him with a relatively unknown U.S. Representative from Louisiana, now-Speaker Mike Johnson.After the drama in D.C., in February the nation turned its eyes to the...

Red Sox could have new long-term 2B in Vaughn Grissom

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:38:56 GMT

It was Aug. 10, 2022, and the defending World Series champion Atlanta Braves were in town for what promised to be among the most interesting series left on the schedule. The floundering Red Sox had fallen three games under .500 and if they harbored any hope of turning their season around, they’d need to start winning big games against teams like this.Then, in the seventh inning and with the Braves leading 3-1, an unknown rookie stepped to the plate and stunned the Fenway Park crowd.Vaughn Grissom, batting ninth and making his MLB debut, smoked a two-run home run over the Green Monster, stretching Atlanta’s lead in what ended up an 8-4 win. Grissom was at the time regarded as one of Atlanta’s top prospects, and since then he’s made the most of the few opportunities he’s gotten in Atlanta’s All-Star laden infield.Now he could call Fenway Park home for years to come.Acquired Saturday in exchange for accomplished but oft-injured veteran Chris Sale, Gr...

Massachusetts politics saw everything from alleged political corruption to shelters bursting at the brim

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:38:56 GMT

Gov. Maura Healey knew coming into office at the start of 2023 that Massachusetts’ emergency shelter system was already experiencing issues as more people sought refuge in state-funded temporary housing.But an influx of migrants fleeing unstable home conditions and rising housing costs hurting vulnerable residents already here pushed the shelter network to the brink, producing a logistical headache for Beacon Hill and one of the top political stories of the year.“I certainly knew that we had a migrant crisis when I took office,” Healey said in an interview with the Herald earlier this month. “What I didn’t know is that it would grow exponentially worse.”From the overburdened shelters to former U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Rachael Rollins resigning in disgrace and continued woes at the MBTA to legislative action (or inaction), 2023 shaped up as a head-spinning year for those in power in the Bay State.Shelters burst with newly-arrived families and those from right here at hom...
