Indy 500 arrives with clear favorites, plenty of off-the-radar spoilers

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:26:30 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The favorites are well known after two weeks of qualifying and practice ahead of the Indy 500, which rolls off Sunday for its 107th running with one of the largest crowds in more than three decades expected to pack Indianapolis Motor Speedway.IndyCar points leader Alex Palou, the series champion two years ago, sits on the pole to lead the powerful quartet from Chip Ganassi Racing. Palou is the betting favorite at 5-1 odds, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, ahead of Pato O’Ward, the Mexican star for the equally stout Arrow McLaren, and Ganassi teammate Scott Dixon, who is still searching for a second Indy 500 win.Palou and Dixon have two more teammates capable of winning in defending champion Marcus Ericsson and two-time winner Takuma Sato, while O’Ward has McLaren teammates Felix Rosenqvist and former winners Alexander Rossi and Tony Kanaan.Things rarely go according to script in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,” though. The chaos of 33 cars flying down th...

3 nap-ready baseball observations, including Ricketts vs. the Roys from ‘Succession’ and Milwaukee Brewers’ relocation drama

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:26:30 GMT

Former Cubs and White Sox pitcher Jeff Samardzija once insisted “you can always get a good nap in during the Sox game.”It was meant as a compliment to Ken “Hawk” Harrelson, though Samardzija later had to explain himself to the Sox broadcaster.As baseball turns the first corner in its speeded-up season this Memorial Day weekend, White Sox and Cubs fans turn to their porches and patios to soak in warm summerlike breezes and perhaps sneak in a quick nap with the ballgame as mere backdrop.No apologies necessary. And to help get to your REM cycle, here are three topics for a lazy Sunday.South Side Brew Crew?Commissioner Rob Manfred appeared out of the blue in Milwaukee last week and suggested Wisconsin politicians need to get their act together and pony up for stadium improvements at the ballpark formerly known as Miller Park.The other option, naturally left unsaid, was the Brewers pulling up stakes and moving, as the Oakland A’s currently are doing with the...

Montreal filmmaker documents race to save vanishing North American Chinatowns

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:26:30 GMT

MONTREAL — Chinatowns across North America don’t just share a similar look — they also face similar existential threats and David-versus-Goliath-like battles for survival. Whether it’s residents of New York City’s Chinatown protesting a proposed mega jail in their community, or Montreal’s Chinese diaspora fighting to save heritage buildings or struggling to keep family restaurants alive during COVID-19, these common threads are a recurring motif of Karen Cho’s documentary “Big Fight in Little Chinatown.”Cho, a fifth-generation Chinese Canadian with roots in the Chinatowns of Montreal and Vancouver, documents how these urban pockets of Chinese culture across North America are facing similar pressures from gentrification. In an interview, Cho said the neighbourhoods are prime targets for redevelopment due to their age and proximity to downtown, but also to what she calls “the intersection of racism and urban planning.” Urban renewa...

Real World Economics: Target a case study in culture war headaches

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:26:30 GMT

Edward LottermanWith apologies to the great literary figures Sir Walter Scott and Bullwinkle J. Moose, here is some wisdom for rueful Target execs: “Into what a sticky morass we fall, when first we practice to please all!”I buy stuff at Target but am not one of those Minnesotans who thinks “our” national retailer holds vast moral superiority over its competitor from Arkansas. Looking at its political contributions and the past era as a member of the retrograde American Legislative Exchange Council, it is clear to me that the company’s leadership has an understanding of national economic issues on a par with that of Gomer Pyle.However, Target makes great efforts to be “a good corporate citizen” including reaching out to and respecting an increasingly diverse U.S. population. So one genuinely feels for them when they stepped on a land mine in the broken, treacherous terrain of our nation’s culture wars by trying to market to and recognize the broad and heterogeneous LGBT+ segment of o...

Keeler: Deion Sanders, CU Buffs don’t need Pac-12. But Pac-12 needs Coach Prime as Big 12 overtures look better every day.

At Christmas, Brock Huard chuckled. CU and the Big 12, together again? OK, dude. Whatever.At Valentine’s Day, he tittered. (Again?) At St. Patrick’s Day, he guffawed. (We’re still talking about this?)On Memorial Day Weekend, the FOX Sports football analyst and former Washington Huskies QB isn’t laughing at the notion of the Buffs going east anymore.“I would think, if you’re (athletic director) Rick George and you’re the Board of Regents, you’re the decision-makers, you’re going to try to find strength in numbers,” Huard told me late last week. “My hunch is that if you’re CU and your (football) program has been largely down for 20 years, you know what you want? Strength in numbers. And an aggressive (conference) commissioner who got a (broadcast) deal done, will not settle for ‘no,’ and does not, unfortunately, does not have a massive pit left by Larry Scott’s leadership that they’re trying to dig out of.”The Pac-12 needs CU right now, not the other way around. The Buffs are the hott...
