Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:59:11 GMT

BRUSSELS (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will return this week to the Middle East as the U.S. hopes to find a way to extend a cease-fire in Gaza and get more hostages released, the State Department said Monday.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — During each of Alvin Kamara’s first four NFL seasons, the New Orleans Saints were a playoff team and even the NFC’s top playoff seed during the dynamic running back’s second year on the club.So Kamara knows what it feels like to be on a team of such quality, and it’s not a feeling he has now.The Saints (5-6) missed a chance to take control of the NFC South when they lost to Atlanta on Sunday and enter Week 13 plagued by numerous injuries and lingering red zone issues that are sinking their season. “We don’t have an identity as a team,” Kamara said. “We’re a team that says we want to do and we don’t do — and it shows.“It gets to a certain point where all the talking in the world doesn’t matter,” he added. “You have to find a way to do it.”Second-year Saints coach Dennis Allen on Monday disagreed with the notion that the Saints lack an identity. He sees a team that is “explosive” on offense and “opportunistic” on defense. Two intercepti...

Bruins hit the skids in Columbus

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:59:11 GMT

The Bruins have suddenly found themselves at a fork in the road. And after their third straight ugly loss, just which way this season is going to go is suddenly debatable.Losing to the Red Wings at home the day after Thanksgiving could be a forgivable blip. Letting one get away from them against a good Ranger team in Madison Square Garden is at least understandable, if not ideal.But what happened Monday night in Columbus is downright concerning. The B’s got blown out at Nationwide Arena by a Blue Jackets team that had lost 16 of their first 22 games and, after a 5-2 loss. It was also the first time the B’s had allowed five or more goals since 2012.Once again, their best players have not played like it. Captain Brad Marchand was minus-3 and David Pastrnak was minus-2.We’ve seen the B’s play better than this, of course, and logic sas they can pull out of it. But at the moment, they’re a mess.For the third time in as many games, the B’s allowed the f...
