The same policy was applied to Prince Andrew, only the disgraced Duke of York was given an opportunity to wear his uniform at a vigil that is only for the queen’s children on Friday, September 16, at 7....

Now, Ovitz was playing hardball over MCA again–but this time he wanted the trophy. Ovitz has so far kept characteristically quiet about his plans. But in a series of exclusive interviews with NEWSWEEK, he acknowledged publicly for the first time that he was in negotiations with Seagram Co. to run the entertainment giant. At Seagram’s annual meeting in Montreal last week, chief executive Edgar Bronfman Jr. told shareholders that the giant liquor conglomerate expected to complete its $5....

Compared to Cousins, Smith in 2017 was the better, more successful West Coast passing QB. But Cousins offers a QB-needy Super Bowl contender like Minnesota much more upside next season and beyond. STEELE: Washington finds its Cousins out Cousins is out of Washington mainly because he wasn’t as efficient as coach Jay Gruden wanted him to be in a system designed for efficiency. Cousins hasn’t been able to shake his turnover habit in key games, leading to consistent double-digit interception totals as a starter....

A passerby in a mall parking lot notified the police after hearing meowing coming from under the vehicle. Two officers—Sargeant Garrett Slawatycki and Officer Matthew Maggio—climbed under the car to retrieve the male kitten. When the police officers located the vehicle’s owner, the woman revealed that she had traveled nearly 10 miles from Buffalo, New York to a car wash before driving to the mall. The woman didn’t own any cats, so she had no idea where the kitten came from....

The former Germany striker and manager is hoping to see his country become the first team to win the tournament in successive years since Brazil lifted the prize in 1958 and 1962. Like in Brazil, Germany will again be among the favourites in Russia, but Klinsmann knows Joachim Low’s men have a big task ahead of them. “Germany is always among the favourites for winning the World Cup,” Klinsmann told Goal....

When Klinsmann was hired back in 2011, he spouted off about changing the American soccer culture from the ground up, including an overhaul of the team's style of play. Whereas his predecessor Bob Bradley achieved his greatest results in wars of attrition, Jurgen's boys would Blitzkrieg right through their opponents. Though there has been evidence of the Yanks changing to a more proactive style of play, like Bradley, Klinsmann has at least partially parked the bus to achieve some unexpected results as U....

Liverpool fought back from a goal down to thrash the Potters 4-1 at Anfield on Tuesday and move into second place in the Premier League, one point ahead of City. Klopp’s side host Guardiola’s men on Saturday and the German is expecting a clash to remember. “It is [a big game]. It is for both,” he said. “I heard Pep Guardiola was in the stadium; I am not sure he watched a lot of games in the last few weeks from the stadiums of the opponents, so that’s a first sign it’s a special game and we are already looking forward to it....

The German considered signing Mane, who is now starring for him at Anfield, from Red Bull Salzburg in 2014 before he joined Southampton. Instead, Klopp ended up sanctioning a 34 million pound ($42M) move to acquire the Senegal international at his new club and says he did not hesitate the second time around. “With Sadio it was pretty simple because I made the mistake at Dortmund where I didn’t take him,” Klopp told reporters....

Klopp’s men twice led thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah , only for a Victor Wanyama wonderstrike and Harry Kane’s stoppage-time spot-kick to earn the visitors a point from an entertaining clash. Moss gave Spurs two penalties after long consultations with his assistant, with Loris Karius first denying Kane after the goalkeeper was adjudged to have brought the striker down, Liverpool protesting there was an offside in the build-up....

Can picked up a back problem in the win over Watford on March 17, while defender Gomez took a knock during last week’s goalless draw with Stoke City. Neither player will be fit for Sunday’s Premier League trip to Chelsea, but Klopp hopes they will show sufficient signs of recovery next week to be considered for the showdown with Real Madrid in Kiev on May 26. “As far as I know, nothing else happened [with injuries],” Klopp told a news conference on Friday....

Mustafi makes promise to Arsenal fans The England international has not played since making a substitute appearance in the 0-0 Premier League draw with Southampton on November 19 as a result of a calf injury. Klopp hopes to have the 27-year-old striker available for the Merseyside derby against Everton on December 19 but admits he cannot put a timescale on his recovery. “Hopefully he will be back as quick as possible - but I have no idea,” Klopp told a news conference ahead of Liverpool’s meeting with West Ham on Sunday....

Klopp and Guardiola played out a head-to-head record of four wins apiece while in charge of Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich and will clash on English soil for the first time when Liverpool host City at Anfield on Saturday. The Merseyside club are a point and a place ahead of their visitors in second, with both teams on a run of three consecutive wins having wobbled during the early weeks of December....

Some 48 hours before St. Nick starts on his rounds, Monsieur Wenger and Herr Klopp will reach into their proverbial sack and endeavour to pull out three points which will help to make a feast of Brussels sprouts and visits to the in-laws a little easier to stomach. There will be no Christmas No. 1 spot up for grabs in north London – with a bearded man with seemingly magical powers who operates from an inclement northern base having already wrapped that up – but there are important chart positions up for grabs....

Chelsea chasing £40m-rated Dembele Klopp has been under increasing pressure after only one win in seven games in January as his side falter in the title race, and having been knocked out of both the FA Cup and EFL Cup, in the same week. Chelsea are in good shape going into the key Premier League title match on Tuesday, but Conte thinks that Liverpool’s style of play isn’t broken and that Klopp doesn’t need to make a change - as he was forced to earlier in the season....

The New York Knicks are coming off a disappointing 2021-22 season, finishing 11th in the Eastern Conference and out of the playoff picture after a promising prior season, once again landing as a lottery team. Now is when the real work begins: The Knicks have some big decisions to make regarding their personnel over the coming weeks, and the 2022 NBA Draft is the first opportunity to give their roster a real facelift....

"I'm a chess player, so that was a power move right there," Carmelo Anthony said. "So now we're going to see what's the next move. But that was a great power move." The Knicks will announce Jackson's hiring Tuesday. The 11-time champion as a coach was already the focus before and after the Knicks' 115-94 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. Jackson was on the Knicks' only two championship-winning teams, in 1970 and 1973....
