Ibrahim, who was named the Big Ten Running Back of the Year after tallying 1,076 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns in only seven games, is ninth on the program’s all-time list with 2,840 rushing yards in 28 games. He’s in prime position to become just the third player in Gophers history to reach the 4,000-yard rushing mark, joining Darrell Thompson (4,654 in 44 games from 1986-89) and Rodney Smith (4,122 in 53 games from 2015-19).
On Friday, Tokyo logged 5,773 cases, a new high. On Sunday, the Japanese capital reported 4,295 cases. The rise in infections has severely strained the medical system. Experts say the situation is getting out of control and some call it “a disaster.”
“It felt good being able to make plays,” Dosunmu said. “I’m a playmaker. That’s what I try to instill in myself, being a two-way player. In the NBA season, especially my rookie year, there are going to be ups and downs. I just want to get better each and every game and try to learn from each game. I think as the games are progressing, I’m definitely achieving that.”
Growing pains are expected at the big-league level, but that hasn’t made it easy to watch, especially when veteran relievers falter, too. During the past two months, Dan Winkler’s reliability has steadily faltered; his advanced metrics had suggested a regression was likely coming, but his recent struggles have come in the form of an implosion. In his last two relief appearances Tuesday versus the Milwaukee Brewers and Friday in Miami, Winkler has surrendered nine earned runs on seven hits.
If you really want to ease congestion, have a rideshare zone that allows fans to leave immediately after the game instead of making them hang out while surge pricing goes into effect. Instead, we made the 0.8-mile hike to the Red Line stop at Roosevelt, ignoring the pedicab drivers who charge an arm and a leg, and then crammed into a train full of mostly mask-wearing riders. Once again, load your Ventra card before the game, not after.
Fields had plenty of nice plays, but I picked this one because of the circumstances. Fields had opened his first NFL appearance with three straight three-and-out drives, but he kept his composure to lead the Bears on a 42-yard drive over the final 45 seconds of the half to set up a field goal. On third-and-5 with 16 seconds to play, he rolled to his right and found Hardy “last minute,” completing the throw with pressure in his face. Fields also had a pretty 25-yard pass to Rodney Adams, who made a nice grab, on the Bears’ first touchdown drive in the third quarter. And he had exciting scrambles for an 8-yard touchdown and a 21-yard gain on the second touchdown drive. But the pass to Hardy, followed by an 8-yard pass to Jesse James, helped the Bears mentally heading into halftime, coach Matt Nagy said, and Fields’ day only got better from there.
“Enough is enough,” the team said in a statement. “We are heartbroken and sickened by the allegations and strongly condemn all forms of discrimination, racism, and hate. Such disgusting behavior has absolutely no place in our community. We will do everything to support our players affected and urge the toughest punishment possible for those responsible.”
“There was one time where it was a tie, looked like it might be a tie, and usually (the video reviewers in) New York does not overturn that,” La Russa said. “We had a heck of a lot more opportunities to make plays, get hits, make pitches than one replay.”
Jewell Loyd led the Storm (16-6) with a season-high 26 points, but the former Niles West star missed a good look at a potential tying layup as time expired. Magbegor had a career-best 21 points, nine rebounds and three blocks, Epiphanny Prince scored 13 points and Mercedes Russell added 10 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists.
