Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:17:59 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Striker Nabil Alioui scored his first pair of goals in the French topflight to help Le Havre rally to a 2-2 draw at Rennes on Sunday.Rennes wasted the chance to move level on points with Monaco and Marseille at the top of the league after squandering a two-goal lead.After Rennes dominated the first half and took command of the match with goals from Ludovic Blas and Chirstopher Wooh, Alioui revived Le Havre’s hopes with a header past goalkeeper Steve Mandanda five minutes before the interval.Le Havre’s chances took another blow near the hour mark with Samuel Grandsir’s sending off, but Alioui managed to snatch another goal in the 70th minute. Well set up by Loic Nego’s pass, Alioui made the most of some slack defending to curl a right-footed shot into the back of the net. Rennes lags two points behind Monaco and Marseille in the standings after taking five points from its three opening matches. Le Havre, which was promoted to Ligue 1 in June, has ...

Source: Patriots trade RB Pierre Strong for Browns offensive lineman

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:17:59 GMT

The Patriots traded running back Pierre Strong to the Browns for backup offensive tackle Tyrone Wheatley Jr., a source confirmed to the Herald’s Doug Kyed.Strong, a 2022 fourth-round pick, fell behind fellow second-year running back Kevin Harris on the depth chart during training camp. He was a projected roster cut this summer, after failing to show much improvement or make an impact as a rookie. Last season, Strong ran just 10 times for 100 yards and a touchdown.The Patriots drafted Strong out of South Dakota State for his rare long speed (4.3 in the 40-yard dash), hoping he would develop, as so many mid-round picks have, into a viable back on passing downs. Instead, he became the last running back to see reps in practice recently after Rhamondre Stevenson, Ezekiel Elliott, Harris and J.J.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:17:59 GMT

BEIRUT (AP) — Three U.S. Congress members made a brief visit to opposition-held northwest Syria on Sunday, the first known trip to the war-torn country by American lawmakers in six years.Reps. Ben Cline of Virginia, French Hill of Arkansas and Scott Fitzgerald of Wisconsin, all Republicans, entered Syria from Turkey via the Bab al-Salama crossing in northern Aleppo province, two people familiar with the trip said. They spoke on condition of anonymity after the U.S. delegation had left Syria, because they were not authorized to speak publicly.Near the crossing, they met with students from Wisdom House, a school for orphans in Idlib that is a project of the Syrian Emergency Task Force, a U.S.-based Syrian opposition organization that facilitated the lawmakers’ trip. Hill has been one of the most vocal supporters in Congress of the Syrian opposition, and his Arkansas constituents have been major donors to the school.The Americans also met with Syrian opposition leaders, humanitarian wo...
