Arnold Palmer brought a country club sport to the masses with a hard-charging style, charisma and a commoner’s touch. At ease with both presidents and the golfing public, and on a first-name basis with both, “The King” died Sunday in Pittsburgh. He was 87. Alastair Johnson, CEO of Arnold Palmer Enterprises, confirmed that Palmer died

PHILADELPHIA — Carson Wentz put his athleticism, precision passing and quick decision-making on display all on one play. The rookie quarterback dropped back on third-and-8, saw his first read covered, sidestepped a rusher, stepped up in the pocket, started to scramble, pump-faked, rolled to his right, stopped short of the line of scrimmage and floated

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Things couldn’t have gone more differently for Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. The reigning AFC offensive player of the week for his near-perfect performance against Buffalo came back with one of the worst games of his career, a six-interception meltdown against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday that doomed New York to

SYDNEY — A teenage surfer was in a stable condition after he was bitten by a shark at the same Australian beach where a Japanese surfer was fatally mauled last year, police said on Monday. The 17-year-old sustained a single bite wound to his hip as he surfed off Ballina’s Lighthouse Beach early Monday, a

TAMPA, Fla. — Case Keenum threw for the Rams’ first touchdown since relocating back to Los Angeles, and Todd Gurley rushed for two more scores Sunday in a 37-32 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Rams (2-1), who did not get into the end zone in the first two games of the season, also

FULLERTON, Calif. — Two men were arrested and a 17-year-old girl was detained Sunday on suspicion of killing three people inside a Southern California home over the weekend, police said. Fullerton police Sgt. Jon Radus would not say if the arrested teen was the missing daughter of two of the victims. He did say she

PITTSBURGH — A season that’s spiraled away from the Pittsburgh Pirates spilled into frustration Sunday. On the edge of elimination from the playoff race with a 10-7 loss to Washington, the Pirates got into a bench-clearing skirmish after Nationals star Bryce Harper injured his left thumb trying to avoid a fake tag by third baseman

OAKLAND, Calif. — Jharel Cotton is off to a historic start to his career with the Oakland Athletics. He’s still not satisfied. Cotton pitched seven crisp innings and the Athletics beat the Texas Rangers 7-1 on Sunday to avoid a series sweep. He became the first A’s pitcher since at least 1913 to start his

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jalen Ramsey and Steve Smith had to be separated in the fourth quarter and again after the game. Jacksonville’s rookie cornerback even refused to talk to Baltimore’s veteran receiver following the Ravens’ 19-17 victory Sunday. Ramsey didn’t hold back in the locker room, though, a move Smith later questioned on Twitter. “Once

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins is off the hook for a least a week. Under fire after the defending NFC East winners lost their first two games and the object of rumors that some on the offense were unhappy with his play, Cousins passed for 296 yards, two touchdowns and didn’t

LOS ANGELES — Sprayed champagne and beer flooded the blue carpet in the Dodgers clubhouse. The stench of alcohol hung in the damp air. Wives, kids and a puppy were in on the party with music blaring. The Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated clinching their fourth straight NL West title with the kind of storybook ending

INDIANAPOLIS — Andrew Luck missed T.Y. Hilton on one critical play Sunday. The Colts quarterback didn’t make the same mistake again. On his second chance, Luck threw a perfect strike to Hilton with 1:17 to play, and the Pro Bowl receiver spun out of a tackle and zig-zagged 63 yards down the field to give

HOUSTON — Defensively speaking, the Los Angeles Angels showed up to play Sunday. The same could not be said of the offense. Starter Daniel Wright gave up two home runs, and the Angels’ bats fell flat in a 4-1 loss to the Houston Astros that ended a four-game winning streak. “Defensively, we played a very

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Everson Griffen saw where defense got the Denver Broncos last season. The Minnesota defensive end believes the Vikings have the talent to head in that same Super Bowl-bound direction. “We are three games in and we have a long ways to go, but we can get there,” said Griffen. “We can definitely

SAN DIEGO — With the NL West won by the Los Angeles Dodgers, the San Francisco Giants have six more games to try to clinch a wild-card berth. The good news is, they don’t have to play the San Diego Padres anymore. Rookie Manuel Margot tripled in the seventh inning and scored the go-ahead run

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Jordy Nelson tossed the ball high into the air after catching his second touchdown pass of the day, a gesture that passes for a rare display of emotion for the workmanlike wide receiver. The Green Bay Packers offense is having fun again heading into an early bye week. Aaron Rodgers threw

CINCINNATI — The Broncos’ defense was back in force, led by Super Bowl MVP Von Miller. The offense has gifted receivers with Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas. C.J. Anderson was there to run the ball. Could they even come close to replacing Peyton Manning? That was Denver’s overriding question heading into the season. In his

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Viola Davis has seen the effects of sexual assault first hand. She says her sister was sexually assaulted at age 8 and is now a heroin addict and prostitute. Davis also described her mother and herself as survivors of sexual assault Sunday at a benefit for the Rape Foundation. It provides

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Assured at least a split in consecutive road games, the Oakland Raiders learned in a trip to Tennessee that their high-flying offense isn’t as great as they may have thought. The Raiders found themselves shut out in the second half Sunday as they needed the defense to preserve a 17-10 win over

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Vikings cornerback Captain Munnerlyn has a message for Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess: You’re not that good. Munnerlyn said the Vikings concentrated on slowing down Carolina’s No. 1 receiver Kelvin Benjamin, who came into the game with 13 catches for 199 yards and three TDs, while largely ignoring Funchess. Funchess couldn’t take

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — With a stingy defense, a veteran quarterback and a strong-legged kicker, the Baltimore Ravens have a clear identity. They’ve won three close games and expect to pull out many more. “While we would like to blow everybody out, we know realistically we’re the Baltimore Ravens and play AFC North, black-and-blue-division football,” place-kicker

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — On a day quarterback Carson Palmer threw four interceptions and safety Tyrann Mathieu couldn’t field a fumble and kicked the ball out of bounds, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians saved his bluntest critique on long snapper Kameron Canaday. This, after all, wasn’t the first time a bad snap from Canaday has cost

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Derrick Johnson saw everybody else picking off passes for Kansas City and decided to join the party. Then he figured he might as well score, too. The veteran linebacker snagged one of six interceptions thrown by Ryan Fitzpatrick, scored one of the Chiefs’ two touchdowns off turnovers, and put an exclamation

DETROIT — Matt Boyd was pulled before he retired a single batter, and the Detroit Tigers spent the rest of the game trying to find anyone who could keep the Kansas City bats quiet. No luck. Boyd allowed five hits and four runs before being taken out, and the Tigers went on to lose 12-9

PHILADELPHIA — Carson Wentz threw for 301 yards and two touchdowns, a fierce defense shut down Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 34-3 on Sunday to remain unbeaten.
