Bruno!” reverberated around Old Trafford as the healing process began for Manchester United.The wounds from Sunday’s humiliating 7-0 rout by Liverpool remain fresh. But a 4-1 win against Real Betis in the Europa League was an encouraging response from Erik ten Hag’s players.None more so than Bruno Fernandes, who scored one and had a role in two more in the round-of-16 first leg on Thursday.“I think he was the best player on the pitch, it showed his personality,” United manager Erik ten Hag said.The Dutchman had given his team the chance to begin making amends for Anfield by naming an unchanged lineup. It had the desired effect.Marcus Rashford scored his 26th goal of the season.Antony swept a shot into the top corner from distance. And Wout Weghorst, who had faced a backlash on social media for touching the famous “This is Anfield” sign, let his emotion show when firing in United’s fourth.But perhaps no one needed redemption more than Fern...

Colorado mountains once hosted the famous 10th Mountain Division "I've got a 1960 Jeep CJ-3B. This 3B was found in a junkyard, I pulled 50 pounds of mud out of it, and it's a Frankenstein," said Boog.The idea is simple, you take a vehicle, any vehicle. The club has seen Subarus, Teslas, and even a Bentley. If it has four wheels and is a four-wheel drive, then it qualifies to hit the ice.Boog is proud of his ice-chewing modified Jeep. "I am running a few more horsepower than what it did from the factory. But the engine I have in it is lighter than the engine that came out of it, and it is a V-8," said...

Chicago Cubs top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong’s defense continues to impress: ‘He’s going to be one of the top-10 center fielders to ever play’

Pete Crow-Armstrong already has produced numerous highlight-reel worthy catches as he heads into his second full season of professional baseball.So when asked to rate his most recent diving grab in the seventh inning of Tuesday’s Cactus League win against the Texas Rangers — smoothly navigating the impending wall as he leaped while crossing over onto the warning-track dirt — Crow-Armstrong remarked, “Oh, that’s up there.” The play kept the game tied, preventing the runner on second base from scoring.In breaking down his catch, Crow-Armstrong noted how the baseball came off the bat of right-handed hitter Ezequiel Duran, making it easier for him to judge the play because of the expected trajectory and descent of the ball. If it had been hit to the right-center field gap by a lefty, that play’s difficulty would have been amplified with the way the ball would have landed.“So I wouldn’t say that was the hardest catch I’ve ever m...
