Speaking to the Tribune, Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said that under the Illinois Safe Haven Law, the baby’s parents could have contacted someone inside the fire station and surrendered the baby without being questioned....

The club managed by Eddie Howe has one of the league’s worst defenses, with 42 goals conceded in just 19 matches and an all-time worst total of 80 goals allowed in the 2021 calendar year. But he has helped address those shortcomings by adding England international Kieran Trippier in a $16.2 million transfer from Atletico Madrid. Trippier can play either fullback position and will bring quality, tenacity and leadership to the club....

In their last English Premier League fixture against Arsenal, the Magpies got a 2-1 victory to end talks of relegation, after surpassing the 40-point mark. However, regardless of the feat, the midfielder wants Rafael Benitez’s men to retain their work ethics when they meet the Toffees on Monday evening as a win at Goodison Park would see the tenth-placed side swap positions with their hosts who are ninth. “Rafa gave us two days off but he told us we needed to work hard back in training,” Diame told The Chronicle ....

Merino, 22, moved to St James’ Park from Borussia Dortmund in 2017, and made 24 Premier League appearances in his debut season as the Magpies cemented their place in the English top flight. The midfielder’s talents have not gone unnoticed, and he is now set to line up for his fourth team in as many seasons with a switch back to La Liga. Goal understands that Merino has agreed a five-year contract with the Basque side, and that negotiations have now opened with his club....

Now that the legendary QB is no longer playing, Gatorade — which Manning sponsors — gathered friends and family to star in an advertisement titled, “Dear Peyton.” The commercial will likely premiere on television during Thursday’s first round of the NFL Draft, and it might cause many to tear up a bit. Not only did Gatorade release the lengthy ad featuring many stars, but if you watch the playlist above you’ll notice many other individuals tell their personal stories....

Last season at Stewart-Haas Racing , Newman began working with a newly assembled crew. His old crew had gone to work with Danica Patrick , and the organization pieced a group together to work on Newman's car. This year, even though he isn't at the same organization he was for the previous five seasons, Newman is working with a crew that for the most part worked together in 2013. "They just swapped out the nut behind the wheel," Newman said, with a quip....

At a Monday press briefing, Newsom said that on Sunday he had ordered the limited closure of bars that don’t serve food in seven Californian counties: Fresno, Imperial, Kern, Kings, Los Angeles, San Joaquin and Tulare. He also suggested bars in eight other counties consider similar closures, according to The Los Angeles Times. He said the state might impose a stay-at-home order for Imperial County if county leaders do not implement one first....

Zadie Smith “White Teeth” (Knopf) This sprawling story of the friendship between two old war buddies, the dim Archie Jones and the fervent Bangladeshi Samad Iqbal, is an epic, omnivorous comedy about London, about clashing cultures and generations and about people with too much history in their blood, or none at all. “White Teeth” has far too many characters, and its plot is tortured, but Smith has an astonishing intellect, she can write dialogue for every race and sex and she’s funny as hell, with a dazzling first novel to prove it....

Here are the top five sports moments of 2020: No. 5 Ryan Newman survives fiery crash at Daytona 500 Ryan Newman took the lead on the final lap of the Daytona 500, but then he was bumped from behind and his car skidded to the right, flipped high into the air and landed upside down in a fiery crash. Crews had to cut his door open, and he was immediately taken to the local hospital....

You can’t claim to be the front-runner and the one person with the electoral strength to beat President Donald Trump when you come in a distant fourth in Iowa (also, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar is doing surprisingly well and may pass him). It is clear that Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren ran well ahead of Biden. Biden may stay in through South Carolina, but with each passing day, he will have less money and momentum....

She admitted seven months ago, in a March 6 interview with the The Washington Post, that a purely partisan impeachment vote was wrong and dangerous. She was right. Here are her own words: “I’m not for impeachment. This is news. I haven’t said this to any press person before. But since you asked, and I’ve been thinking about this, impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path because it divides the country....

“The Last Dance” and “O.J.: Made in America” — a four-part, eight-hour documentary — have set a high bar for other detailed projects to follow. But who is next? That’s an open debate on social media, but there is only one correct answer: Give us a 10-hour documentary on Tiger Woods. It would have all the elements for the next great American sports documentary. The loose script is already out there....

Washington has good reason to brace for the worst. The country’s largest trade union, the AFL-CIO, has issued a nationwide “call to action.” The unions are planning a week of rallies capped off with a huge march and demonstration on the first day of the meetings. Last year tens of thousands of supporters turned out, bringing Washington to a standstill. Today the movement is larger, and the smell of blood is in the air....

The former Real Madrid and Inter star guided the Selecao to a fifth world title in the tournament in South Korea and Japan with eight goals, further enhancing his stature as one of the best players to play the game. And while he was famous for his majestic dribbling and finishing abilities, the striker’s bizarre hairstyle at the tournament also attracted a great deal of attention. Having shaved off all but the front of his hair, it was a look that was not expected to catch on, but for a youngster like Neymar, it was a must-have....

Barca’s Brazilian forward has spent months trying to convince Coutinho to link up with him at Camp Nou, where he would be able to play on one of football’s biggest stages alongside not only his close friend Neymar, but also another international team-mate in Rafinha and former Liverpool colleague Luis Suarez. However, the 24-year-old is well aware of the difficulty of breaking into a side featuring Lionel Messi, Suarez and Neymar in attack, while he is also indebted to Liverpool for making him the player he is today....

The attacker could be out for around six weeks after suffering a cracked metatarsal and twisted ankle in his side’s 3-0 win over Marseille in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

“I’ll bet John Elway is somewhere laughing his butt off!” was the general theme. In so many words, the notion was set in concrete: Elway let Osweiler walk away from the Super Bowl champion Broncos last offseason and, boy, that shows how much smarter he is than everyone else. Genius quarterback, genius general manager. IYER: Osweiler whiff costs Texans more than money The concrete never got a chance to harden....
