ENGLEWOOD, Colorado (AP) — Los Broncos de Denver regresaron de su semana de descanso renovados, reenfocados y, al menos en el caso del pateador Wil Lutz, más ricos.

Lutz firmó una extensión de contrato por tres años durante el descanso, asegurando su papel en los Broncos hasta 2028.

El entrenador Sean Payton afirmó el lunes, después de que los Broncos (9-2) se reunieran para comenzar los preparativos para su viaje para jugar contra los Commanders de Washington (3-8) este fin de semana.

No se han revelado los términos de su extensión. Está ganando 3,9 millones de dólares esta temporada.

Payton comentó que se reunió con el gerente general George Paton durante la semana de descanso y discutieron el futuro de varios jugadores en Denver.

“La clave es no afectar el ambiente o cómo está funcionando tu equipo, siempre soy sensible a eso, especialmente cuando estás jugando bien”, expresó Payton. “Porque a veces esas pueden ser discusiones difíciles.

“Pero pudimos cerrar el trato con Wil. Hay un par de otros jugadores a los que hemos contactado, y creo que la clave es el aspecto de la comunicación en todo esto. Pero ha jugado bien, es consistente y creo que tiene el respeto del vestuario. Como todos los pateadores, hay altibajos, pero ha sido una gran adición para nosotros”.

La extensión de Lutz llegó aproximadamente al mismo tiempo que ganó el honor de jugador de equipos especiales de la semana de la AFC después de igualar un récord personal al acertar cinco de cinco intentos de gol de campo en la victoria de Denver por 22-19 sobre los Chiefs de Kansas City.

El veterano de nueve años también ha sido nombrado jugador de equipos especiales del mes de la AFC dos veces durante su tiempo en Denver, en noviembre de 2023 y octubre de esta temporada.

Esta temporada, Lutz ha acertado 17 de 20 goles de campo (.850) y ha convertido todos sus 24 intentos de punto extra para un total de 75 puntos.

Su gol de campo de 35 yardas cuando el tiempo expiró contra los Chiefs fue su decimotercer gol ganador de su carrera y el tercer gol de campo decisivo de esta temporada. También venció a los Giants y a los Texans con goles de campo cuando el tiempo expiró.

Uno de los primeros movimientos de Payton en Denver fue adquirir a Lutz de los Saints en 2023.

Payton pasó por diez pateadores en su primera década como entrenador en la NFL, pero aparte de las lesiones, Lutz ha sido su pateador durante las últimas ocho temporadas de Payton como entrenador en jefe, cinco en Nueva Orleans y tres en Denver.

“Creo que siempre es bueno ser el hombre de alguien en esta liga. Sean y yo hemos ganado muchos juegos juntos. Hemos acertado algunos goles importantes juntos. Creo que es solo entendernos el uno al otro. Él sabe cómo ponerme en el lugar correcto. Yo sé cómo trabajar bajo su dirección.”

“Es solo una cuestión de confianza. Estoy agradecido, nueve de mis diez temporadas han sido con él y mi único mal año no fue con él. Así que, no diría que esa es la razón, pero sí, sabemos cómo trabajar juntos y nuestro éxito ha sido divertido”, añadió Lutz.

Sedition Before Tradition: American Needs A Break

As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, it’s a good time to block out the negative and focus on the positive. With that in mind, I reached out to individuals I’ve interviewed and worked with this past year and asked them what they’re most thankful for and about their Thanksgiving traditions. Here is what they shared.

Saif Hannoush, founder of Lynwood-based Noosh Catering, is a native of Jordan. Prior to immigrating to the U.S. years ago, he knew nothing about the Thanksgiving holiday.

“Now it’s one of my favorite holidays,” he shared.

His parents don’t eat turkey, so his mom prepares Mediterranean food including Cornish hens, stuffed grape leaves and stuffed chicken.

Hannoush prepares the traditional Thanksgiving meal including turkey, ham and green bean casserole, and sweet potato is also on the menu.

“I’m thankful for my wife, my kids. They are all in good health, and I’m thankful to be opening up a restaurant,” he said.

The Homer Glen restaurant, to be called Filfil, will serve Mediterranean cuisine, and Hannoush expects to open it before the end of the year.

Michelle Sebasco, director of academic partnerships and continuing education at Governors State University, says she is most thankful for her family, that she earned a second master’s degree this year and for the university’s Jaguar Jumps program.

Jaguar Jumps is a bridge program for students with disabilities that helps them transition from high school to college and career paths. The program accepts students ages 17 and older. A grant from the Illinois Community College Board helps the program serve 34 students, she said.

“That has been magnificent,” Sebasco said. “I’m so grateful for their growth and the impact they are having on one another.”

Among Sebasco’s Thanksgiving traditions is sharing the opłatki, a wafer and part of a nonsacramental tradition. The eldest at the table breaks off a piece of oplatki and gives to the next oldest, who breaks off a piece and gives to next oldest, and so on, she explained.

“There’s a prayer, a moment of thanksgiving,” said Sebasco. “We hug each other and kiss one another. It’s special.”

It’s a Polish Christmas Eve tradition, but her family also observes it at Easter and Thanksgiving.

“It’s symbolizing love and unity within a family,” she said.

Alonzo Abron, founder and managing broker of Oak Forest-based A. Progeny Global, is thankful his business has been able to navigate this year’s challenging real estate market.

“I’m most thankful for my family, my wife and children and their health and second for my team,” he said.

The young company is “competing with the big wigs,” and amid industry and economic uncertainty has persevered and managed to grow, he said.

Abron is in charge of the poultry for Thanksgiving dinner.

“Can’t too many people beat my deep-fried turkey,” he said.

Games are a part of the family’s Thanksgiving traditions including traditional games like Monopoly.

“We create our own games, like what’s that tune, what song is that?” he said.

Elaine Grande, executive director of Palos Heights-based eldercare services provider Pathlights, is grateful “to be a part of such a caring and compassionate community, not just family, friends and neighbors, but also the broader network of people and organizations who support each other when we need it most,” she said.

“This was especially evident during the recent cuts in food stamps, when everyone came together to ensure no one went without food.”

Grande, a native of Ireland, says among her most memorable Thanksgivings were experienced during her early years in this country.

“Celebrating Thanksgiving is such a special time to be with the people closest to you, but that is hard when you are far from your own family,” she said. “I have wonderful memories of being invited into the homes of friends during my early years here, when I couldn’t be with my family. Those friends became like family, and I never felt alone.”

Another memorable one was a Thanksgiving she spent with the man who later became her husband.

“It was the first time I met his family. I had known him for maybe a month and he invited me,” she said. “It was a very welcoming, lovely way to meet his family on such a special day.”

Asked if there’s a special dish she makes for Thanksgiving, she said laughing, “Good lord, I get my husband to make all the special dishes.” Sweet potatoes are one of her favorites.

“I come from a land of potatoes, but had never had a sweet potato,” she said. “The first time I had sweet potatoes was for a Thanksgiving meal.”

Pam Oliver, a community volunteer, media consultant and substitute teacher, has much to be thankful for this year including being a cancer survivor.

“I have a thankful list,” she said. “I am four-years cancer free.”

She’s also thankful for her grandchildren, including twins who were born premature and are nearly 2 and doing well. And she’s grateful the annual blood drive she launched in Olympia Fields in memory of her late daughter Kristin Arielle Oliver, who died of cardiac sarcoma, marked its fifth successful year.

“This year has been an incredible year, and to top it off my husband and I went to Spain, Italy and France,” she said. “To see another country and be healthy enough to walk and to laugh. We laughed so much. That means a lot to me.

“I’ve had some disappointments, but I know that joy always comes in the morning.”

Fershawnda Green, founder of Poppin Plates, which provides shared commercial kitchen space to food service entrepreneurs and enclosed parking for food truck operators in Lynwood, is thankful for having recognized growth opportunities and for knowing when to pivot. When her shared kitchen space wasn’t getting as many clients as she’d hoped, she started holding events inside the kitchen for clients.

She is also thankful her family is healthy.

A part of her family’s Thanksgiving traditions is attending football games. This year they’re traveling to New Orleans to attend the Bayou Classic game between Grambling State University and Southern University.

Raul Garza, president and CEO of Aunt Martha’s Health & Wellness, is grateful for the team he works with including staff, board members, sponsors and donors.

“They don’t get down on the negative things that are happening, Garza. “They’re more focused on trying to help people.”

He said he is also thankful for his family, his wife and his two dogs.

“When I’m done grinding it out at end of the day, I get to come home and know we’ve done something to help people,” he said.

As for me, I’m thankful for my husband, large extended family and for the beautiful memories I have of loved ones who’ve passed on but are forever in my heart. I’m also grateful for the everyday heroes out there who are making a positive difference in this world.

And I’m thankful for karaoke ­— one of my family’s Thanksgiving traditions. I am one of the Temptationettes, as my cousin calls me, my sister and other family background singers when we join him belting out our favorite old Temptations tunes.

I hope everyone has a very happy Thanksgiving!

Winning wasn’t enough for Nikola Vučević.

Minutes after the Chicago Bulls won their seventh clutch game of the season on Saturday, the center was furious. He was tired of squandering leads and digging first-quarter holes. And as he was pulled aside for a walk-off interview on Chicago Sports Network, Vučević wasn’t in any mood to celebrate.

Vučević only made it halfway through delivering his indictment of the team’s performance — “For three quarters, we were very soft” — before teammates delivered an interruption. Matas Buzelis bounced in frame, fists pumping above his head.

Vučević shoved the younger forward away with the practiced ease of a father of three, manhandling the second-year forward with a muttered order: “Move.”

Buzelis shuffled off camera, defeated. Jalen Smith was less easily deterred. The backup center puffed out his chest, bumping into Vučević until he pivoted away, jaw clenched, not a trace of a smile threatening to break through his scowl. But Smith kept poking, imploring his veteran to lighten up: “Come on, man, be happy!”

In the four years since he first arrived in Chicago, Vučević has emerged as a mixture of scapegoat and villain in the eyes of many Bulls fans.

It’s easy to pin the team’s increasingly troublesome lack of defensive rigor on their big man in the middle. That clamor built into a rumbling din this season as the Bulls bleed points at the rim, allowing a league-high 21.8 baskets per game from within the restricted area.

In many ways, Vučević is untraditional. He’s not a top-5 blocker on his own team. He thrives in the pocket and behind the arc. And no, he’s not the most intimidating presence around the basket. Yet teammates and coaches don’t believe Vučević needs to change.

“People can say what they want to say,” guard Coby White said. “Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. Whatever. Who cares? He’s super important to what we do. We rely on him a lot.”

There is, of course, some truth in the criticism.

Vučević has never been an elite rim defender. It’s not his game. The center is elite on the boards — ranked seventh in the league this season in defensive rebounding — but his disruptiveness around the rim has always lagged behind his competition.

Opponents shoot 64.9% at the rim when Vučević contests the shot compared to their 65.6% average against others— a marginal 0.8% difference that reflects the negligible impact the center makes with his close-range defensive efforts. Tre Jones and Patrick Williams are the only players on the Bulls roster to allow a higher rim shooting percentage.

But this isn’t anything new. Across Vučević’s entire career, opponents averaged a difference of only 0.1% when the center contests a shot at the rim versus when he doesn’t. He contested only 42.7% — and blocked only 2.2% — of the total shots in his zone over the past 15 seasons.

Vučević made marginal improvement at the height of his career — dropping this percentage on contested shots down to 53.6% in 2018-19, the first season he was named an All-Star — but that number spiked back up to 62.5% in his last season in Orlando.

This year’s team might be exposing Vučević’s weaknesses more prominently — and painfully — but little has changed about the center’s defensive presence. And while the center isn’t helping the Bulls become a better defender, he’s also not the sole source for this deluge of shots at the rim.

“If we’re going to get it right, we have to defend as a team,” guard Josh Giddey said. “It can’t all be on one guy.”

This is not to say the Bulls wouldn’t benefit from a defensive stopper in the post. This team can’t get better without rim protection, a fact that has already worn away at this roster in the early weeks of the season. That need should define how the Bulls approach the draft and trade market next summer after Vučević’s current contract expires.

But for now, the Bulls have to focus on what they do have in the post.

When he first arrived in Chicago, Vučević wasn’t comfortable in the offense. He felt a steep loss of control without the ball in his hands. All too often, he got stuck in the corner, watching a play as it happened without him.

That dynamic changed last year. And this season, the Bulls are once again unlocking a better version of Vučević by realigning their center of gravity around the big man.

Vučević averages the 12th-most assists of any big man in the league and is currently tied for the third-highest 3-point volume among all NBA centers, racking up 2.1 per game alongside Nikola Jokić and Naz Reid. And the center only gets better in the moments that matter. The center has hit two true game-winners already this season and his shooting percentages have soared to 50% from behind the arc in clutch moments.

“He’s kind of like the hub, right?” White said. “We play through him at the top of the key. He’s our connector. He’s our leader. And obviously — he’s shown it — he makes big-time plays. He does a lot for this team. He’s super important to what we do, especially on the offensive end.”

Vučević has found his rhythm as the Bulls have picked up their pace.

On paper, an uptempo style might look like an awkward fit for a 35-year-old center. Vučević can get lost at times when the game opens up too much, especially if the Bulls fail to control the ball in transition and resort to rim-running for multiple possessions.

Vučević doesn’t want Donovan to run plays designed for him to generate shots. After years of operating as the offensive focal piece in Orlando, that’s not the center’s comfort zone anymore. But he can operate as a metronome for Bulls, speeding or slowing the pace of the game by moving the ball through the gut of the half-court.

Donovan describes Vučević’s vision for ideal basketball as almost utopic: high-motion, high-movement creation that encourages the ball to swing rapidly to produce a balanced volume of opportunities for every player on the court.

“A lot of times if we get a little bit stagnant or we’re playing a little bit too fast, he’s the one guy you can come back to who’s going to take the ball and get it from one side of the floor to the other,” Donovan said. “He’s going to create.”

But the defense needs to get better. Vučević isn’t arguing about that. He knows it. The entire Bulls roster knows it.

No amount of clutch scoring can change that fact. But at 35, Vučević also understands that his fundamental identity as a defender won’t change.

Other players on this roster — Buzelis, Ayo Dosunmu and Patrick Williams — are still growing into the best defensive versions of themselves. Vučević is long past that point in his career, and that’s okay. The veteran understands he can still improve his in-game impact by focusing on the small details that separate a good defensive performance from a poor one: eliminating mistakes, rotating more efficiently and keeping opponents off the offensive boards.

“Little details matter in this game, in this league,” Vučević said. “They add up. You might take away two points here, two points there, and the total might be six, eight points a game. But most games are decided within 10, five, six points. If you’re able to do this, it’s a big difference.”

Many athletes feign ignorance toward online chatter, even as they voraciously read headlines and social media posts. But Vučević is openly online, the type of guy who cracked jokes about house hunting in Utah after months of being implicated in trade rumors about Rudy Gobert.

So yes, Vučević sees the tweets. The good ones, the bad ones, the ones where a photo of him is edited to don a durag and hold a cigarette in his mouth. And while many athletes eschew social media during the season to avoid the toxicity of this outside noise, Vučević remains remarkably unfazed.

“Hey, it’s more fun than it’s not,” he said with a shrug after spending an afternoon earlier this year venting on X about his frustrations with the recent “Gladiator” sequel.

There is a confidence that comes from clarity. Vučević understands himself as a player. And this year more than ever, he understands his role.

Sometimes, it means stepping up as a hero, knocking down a 3-pointer as the shot clock switches to bright red. At others, that means playing the part of grumpy old man, snapping at youngsters on live television and chewing them out in the locker room after a game. Vučević embraces both responsibilities in equal measure.

“I’ve been in this league for 15 years,” Vučević said. “I’ve seen a lot of different situations. It’s normal when you’re a young player. It’s normal that you don’t know all these things. You don’t always understand what it really takes. That’s what veterans are there for.”

Amazon plans to spend $15 billion for the largest construction project in Indiana history, building data center campuses in Northwest Indiana and creating 1,100 new jobs, officials said.

The data centers would ideally be up and running in 2027, said Brandon Oyer, head of Americas water and power at Amazon Web Services.

Sites for them have not yet been finalized, although AWS is in negotiations with multiple communities, he said Monday.

The project includes 2.4 gigawatts – 2,400 megawatts – of additional generating capacity for data centers without raising rates for existing customers, Oyer said.

He expects customers to see $1 billion in cost savings over the 15-year contract with NIPSCO.

NIPSCO President and Chief Operating Officer Vince Parisi said the partnership with NIPSCO Generation (GenCo), a new subsidiary approved by state regulators in September, will strengthen the electrical grid and build capacity for growth.

Data centers are notoriously energy-intensive. Parisi said depending on where the data centers are built, additional substations could be needed, as well as additional generating capacity.

“We are working with multiple different regulatory bodies” to gain approval for the project, Oyer said.

AWS wanted to announce the planned investment despite many unknowns, including the locations, to allow the region to get to know the company better and understand the scale of the project, Northwest Indiana Forum President and CEO Heather Ennis said.

For a point of comparison, this project is 10% larger than Amazon’s $11 billion, 1,000-acre data center complex in New Carlisle, Oyer said.

Building the project will require thousands of skilled tradespeople, he said.

Not too many years ago, BP’s $3.8 billion Whiting Refinery expansion was considered the largest construction project in state history. The work at the refinery kept tradespeople working through the Great Recession, Ennis noted. Building data centers will keep tradespeople working in the region for years to come.

Oyer said Amazon is working with Ivy Tech Community College, universities and others to design, develop and grow training programs for workers who operate data centers and work with fiber optics, among other related careers.

“We were part of the backdown for the industrial revolution,” Ennis said, and now want to be a part of the technology backbone.

“It is a really exciting opportunity to continue to evolve our economy,” she said. Ennis noted the importance of economic diversification.

“Amazon’s continued investment in Indiana is a major win for our region,” Indiana Gov. Mike Braun said in a news release. “This project will create good-paying jobs for Hoosiers, expand our tax base and strengthen the economic foundation for communities across the state. It also positions Indiana at the forefront of America’s next generation of innovation.”

“As our country races to lead in artificial intelligence and advanced computing, investments like this ensure we are building that future here at home and delivering new opportunities for hardworking Hoosier families.”

“We’re excited to help power the next wave of technological advancement while delivering tangible benefits that will enhance the lives of Indiana residents for years to come,” David Zapolsky, Amazon’s chief global affairs and legal officer, said in the news release.

In some communities, including Chesterton, Burns Harbor and Union Township, data center proposals have been shot down amid public outcry. But data centers are important for more than just hosting people’s photos on the cloud, Ennis said.

“Everything is evolving. We have smart refrigerators and smart dishwashers that practically buy your products for you,” she said.

People are using artificial intelligence more and more, another driver for the data center industry.

Scientific uses like cancer research are also data-intensive and require vast data storage capability, Ennis said.

Our way of life is changing with all the new technology being developed. “We find ways to connect differently because of the technology that evolves,” she said. “We can choose to be left out of the opportunity, but we can choose to participate.”

This project’s impact on the communities’ tax base can’t be calculated until the communities are chosen and incentives are finalized, but the impact will be huge. When Microsoft chose LaPorte for a $1 billion data center, Mayor Tom Dermody said it would effectively double the city’s tax base.

“It’s millions of dollars for the local communities to help with safety, help with schools, help with basic services,” Ennis said.

These data center projects are generating attention from other site selectors. “Those assets will continue to grow additional investments,” she said.

“It gives confidence to other companies that are looking at Northwest Indiana,” Ennis said. “We are open for business. We have the assets that continue to drive the economy.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Varios legisladores demócratas están cuestionando la legalidad de un programa de inteligencia predictiva de la Patrulla Fronteriza que selecciona y detiene a conductores por viajes sospechosos dentro de Estados Unidos.

El senador Ed Markey de Massachusetts envió una carta el lunes a la agencia matriz de la Patrulla Fronteriza calificando el programa de lectores de matrículas como una “red de vigilancia invasiva” que “representa una seria amenaza para la privacidad y las libertades civiles de los individuos” y planteó la posibilidad de que el programa pueda violar la Constitución.

“Dicha vigilancia generalizada —similar a la vigilancia realizada por regímenes autoritarios como China— no solo perjudica el derecho de expresión y asamblea legales, sino que también plantea serias preocupaciones constitucionales”, dijo Markey en una carta solicitando a la agencia detalles sobre los lectores de matrículas y su uso. “Sin transparencia, responsabilidad y limitaciones claras, estas prácticas erosionan los derechos individuales fundamentales y sientan un precedente peligroso para el poder gubernamental sin control”.

Una investigación de The Associated Press publicada la semana pasada reveló que la Patrulla Fronteriza (USBP), que forma parte de la Oficina de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza (CBP), está ejecutando un programa de inteligencia predictiva que monitorea a millones de conductores en todo el país para identificar y detener a personas cuyos patrones de viaje considera sospechosos. En algunos casos, la Patrulla Fronteriza oculta sus lectores de matrículas en equipos de tráfico ordinarios. La agencia también tiene acceso a datos de matrículas recopilados por otras agencias de aplicación de la ley federales, estatales y locales, así como de empresas privadas.

El programa, que ha existido bajo administraciones de ambos partidos, ha resultado en que personas sean detenidas, registradas y, en algunos casos, arrestadas. Una red de cámaras escanea y registra la información de las matrículas de los vehículos, y un algoritmo señala los vehículos considerados sospechosos según de dónde vinieron, a dónde iban y qué ruta tomaron. Los agentes federales, a su vez, a veces refieren a los conductores que consideran sospechosos a las fuerzas del orden locales, quienes realizan una parada de tráfico citando exceso de velocidad o infracciones por cambio de carril.

Los tribunales generalmente han respaldado la recopilación de lectores de matrículas en carreteras públicas, pero han limitado el acceso gubernamental sin orden judicial a otros tipos de datos de seguimiento persistente que pudieran revelar detalles sensibles sobre el movimiento de individuos, como dispositivos GPS o datos de ubicación de teléfonos móviles. Una crítica creciente por parte de académicos y defensores de las libertades civiles señala que los sistemas de recopilación a gran escala como los lectores de matrículas podrían ser inconstitucionales bajo la Cuarta Enmienda, que protege a las personas de registros irrazonables.

“Cada vez más, los tribunales han reconocido que el uso de tecnologías de vigilancia puede violar las garantías de la Cuarta Enmienda contra registros y confiscaciones irrazonables. Aunque esta área del derecho aún se está desarrollando, el uso de lectores de matrículas y algoritmos predictivos para rastrear y señalar los movimientos de los individuos representa el tipo de vigilancia generalizada que debería plantear preocupaciones constitucionales”, señaló Markey.

La CBP no ha comentado al respecto, pero anteriormente dijo que la agencia utiliza lectores de matrículas para ayudar a identificar amenazas y desarticular redes criminales y que el uso de la tecnología está “gobernado por un marco de políticas estricto y de múltiples capas, así como por la ley federal y las protecciones constitucionales, para garantizar que la tecnología se aplique de manera responsable y para propósitos de seguridad claramente definidos”.

Otros legisladores hicieron eco de las preocupaciones de Markey sobre la legalidad del programa.

Dan Goldman, demócrata de Nueva York y miembro del Comité de Seguridad Nacional de la Cámara de Representantes, escribió en el sitio de redes sociales X el sábado que si la CBP “está rastreando secretamente los patrones de viaje de millones de estadounidenses y deteniendo a personas basándose en un algoritmo, no en órdenes judiciales o pruebas, ¿cómo es eso consistente con la Cuarta Enmienda?”.

“Conducir no es causa probable”, agregó Goldman. “El Congreso necesita total transparencia sobre este programa de inmediato”.

El senador de Virginia, Mark Warner, el principal demócrata en la Comisión de Inteligencia del Senado, también dijo que tenía preocupaciones constitucionales.

“A medida que los estadounidenses de todo el país salen a la carretera esta temporada de vacaciones, no deberían tener que preocuparse de que sus viajes puedan convertirlos en un objetivo para las fuerzas del orden o exponerlos a cuestionamientos indebidos sobre sus movimientos, actividades y relaciones”, dijo Warner en un comunicado.

TURÍN, Italia (AP) — Jayden Addai anotó un gol en cada tiempo mientras el Como venció el lunes 5-1 al Torino, para colocarse entre los seis primeros de la Serie A y extender su racha invicta a 11 partidos en todas las competiciones.

El extremo holandés de 20 años puso al equipo de Cesc Fàbregas por delante nueve minutos antes del descanso cuando recibió un preciso pase de Jesús Rodríguez.

Torino igualó al filo del descanso cuando Nikola Vlašić anotó un penalti tras una mano en el área, pero Addai colocó un disparo raso con el pie derecho desde 20 metros siete minutos después del reinicio para devolver la ventaja al Como.

El español Jacobo Ramón añadió el tercero con un cabezazo en el minuto 71 antes de que Nico Paz hiciera el 4-uno cinco minutos después.

Martin Baturina aprovechó un mal pase hacia atrás para disparar el balón bajo el portero y cerrar el marcador.

La primera victoria del Como en Torino desde abril de 1986 elevó al equipo al sexto lugar, un punto por encima de la Juventus.

Torino permanece en el puesto 12.

An 18-year-old Lynwood man was shot multiple times outside an Evergreen Park Walmart Saturday, while in separate events a 56-year-old Lansing woman also died of a gunshot wound and a third shooting was reported in Harvey.

Justin Bell, 18, of Lynwood, was shot multiple times Saturday night outside the Walmart on 95th Street and Western Avenue in what police described as an attempted armed robbery gone wrong.

Three people pulled into the Walmart parking lot in a silver Audi, and two men with handguns, including Bell, got out and approached a third man in an attempted robbery, according to an Evergreen Park police news release.  During the ensuing struggle, the other armed man fired multiple shots, striking Bell, the news release said.

The two then got back into the Audi and drove away, but about an hour after police first responded to the shots fired report, they learned Bell had been dropped off by a silver Audi at a Chicago hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to police.

The victim of the attempted armed robbery was uninjured, police said.

The remaining two occupants of the car have not yet been identified or found. The car is described as having temporary Illinois registration and damage to the front driver’s side. The Evergreen Park Police Department is asking anyone with information to call 708-422-2144.

The same Walmart was the site of another shooting last month, where two people were injured.

In Lansing, Loretta Davis, 56, of Lansing, was killed Thursday by a gunshot to the head, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

The shooting occurred on the 3400 block of North Manor Drive in Lansing, where Davis is listed as a resident.

A Lansing police sergeant said the investigation into shooting continues. He said that the department had some leads and some potential suspects.

In Harvey, 30-year-old Sean A. Boyd II, 30, whose address is unknown, was shot multiple times and killed on Honore Avenue, according to the medical examiner’s office. The Harvey Police Department had no additional information to provide.

MANCHESTER, Inglaterra (AP) — Pep Guardiola se ha disculpado por su confrontación con un camarógrafo tras la derrota de Manchester City ante Newcastle el fin de semana, diciendo el lunes que se siente “avergonzado”.

El entrenador del City habría agarrado los auriculares del camarógrafo para decirle algo directamente al oído después del pitido final de la derrota 2-1 en St James’ Park.

Guardiola había estado involucrado en discusiones acaloradas con el capitán del Newcastle, Bruno Guimaraes, y los oficiales del partido.

“Pido disculpas. Me siento avergonzado, apenado cuando lo veo. No me gusta”, señaló Guardiola en una conferencia de prensa antes del partido en casa del City el martes contra el Bayer Leverkusen en la Liga de Campeones

Guardiola añadió que se disculpó con el camarógrafo “después de un segundo”.

“Soy quien soy — incluso después de 1.000 partidos, no soy una persona perfecta. Cometí un gran error. Lo que es seguro es que defiendo a mi equipo y a mi club, eso es seguro.”
