But by early September, Vogt was playing with the Brewers like a man rejuvenated, and he credits a change of scenery. “It brings new life to you, and it brings a fresh start,” Vogt told Sporting News before a recent game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. “Rejuvenation. Rejuvenation was the main word that kept coming to mind because I felt like I was getting a new opportunity to play meaningful baseball for the first time in three years, and I was excited for the opportunity....

“We opened up and we did not anticipate the business that we have,” said Lisa Monet Zarza, one of the Lakeville restaurant’s owners, during a Monday appearance on Fox News. “We did not anticipate the kickback from the state.” Zarza noted that since reopening, Alibi Drinkery was served with a temporary injunction, a restraining order, a lawsuit from the state and a contempt of court order. The Minnesota Department of Health also filed a lawsuit against Alibi Drinkery for operating without a license on January 22 in a district court, according to a Saturday press release....

The Minnesota Wild are set to host the 2021 Winter Classic on Jan. 1, 2021 at Target Field in Minneapolis — otherwise known as the home of MLB’s Minnesota Twins. “[Minnesota Wild owner] Craig Leipold has been, to say persistent would be a gross understatement, over the last few years wanting to host a Winter Classic, and we’re excited to go,” Bettman said during the second intermission of Wednesday’s game via NHL....

Or, as they say in business school: sell, sell, sell! U2 has actually been the “new” U2 for a while now, ever since Bono traded black jeans and sincerity for plastic pants and irony on the band’s 1991 album “Achtung Baby.” But what’s ironic about the irony–please, try to keep up here–is that it’s actually quite sincere. U2 hasn’t changed nearly as much as they’re pretending. “Pop” is emphatically a U2 album: underneath the trancey drum loops and fat synthesizers the band is still writing big rock songs, and the Edge’s guitar sound is as distinctive as ever....

Just two minutes after coming off the bench, Malcom netted in the 83rd minute to give Barcelona a late 1-0 lead over Inter at San Siro. Inter star Mauro Icardi scored a late leveller against his former club to ensure the match ended 1-1, but the draw still ensured Barcelona secured a place in the last 16 with two matches to spare in Group B. Malcom’s goal will come as a huge boost for the 21-year-old, who has barely seen any first-team action since making a controversial €41 million (£36....

“My endorsement of Mitch McConnell at his request, he asked for my endorsement,” Trump said, prompting loud boos from the crowd, “brought him from one point down to 20 points up and he won his race in the great state and the great commonwealth of Kentucky. He won it very easily. And I said, ‘I wonder if I’m doing the right thing here,’ but you know what, I did what I did....

“There’s no threat to the voting rights law. It’s against the law to discriminate in voting on the basis of race already, and so I think it’s unnecessary,” McConnell said during a press conference. The Senate minority leader also argued that the bill would give the Justice Department too much power over the states when it comes to determining voting and election systems. The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, named for the late civil rights leader and House member, has been proposed as an alternative to the For the People Act (H....

McConnell said he would “absolutely” support the Republican nominee in 2024 when asked if he would back Trump. This comes despite him leveling criticism at Trump over the violence of January 6, and the former president issuing a scathing assessment of McConnell’s leadership. McConnell’s comments contrast with other Republicans who have pushed against the president. Those politicians have faced a backlash for doing so and criticism from within their own party....

President Donald Trump has signed off a new stimulus package, after refusing to do so for several days over his displeasure with its contents, and on Monday lawmakers will vote on whether to boost the second round of checks from $600 to $2,000. Trump forced the $2,000 check onto the table with his refusal to sign the stimulus bill. Its fate, however, like so many other issues, sits not in his hands but those of one lawmaker in particular: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)....

The Utah senator and former GOP presidential candidate has found himself at the center of a heated intraparty battle for Georgia’s Senate seat between Senator Kelly Loeffler and Representative Doug Collins. The election is set to take place in November. The two candidates are deploying a new tactic that they hope will win them brownie points with the state’s conservative voters: criticize one another for once backing the Never-Trumper who has been outcast by the president and his supporters for being the lone Republican to vote for Donald Trump’s removal from office....

However, Romney, a former Republican presidential candidate, suggested Trump will ultimately “accept the inevitable” once all options to challenge Joe Biden’s win have been pursued. “You’re not going to change the nature of President Trump in these last days, apparently, of his presidency. He is who he is, and he has a relatively relaxed relationship with the truth,” Romney said. “And so, he’s going to keep on fighting until the very end....

In thirty months of traveling across that overwhelmingly Roman Catholic country, from Bordeaux to Paris to the northern port city Le Havre, Romney succeeded in converting all of two Frenchmen. But by his own account, the many doors he had shut in his face only served to cement his commitment to his Mormon faith, teaching him that he could hold fast to it even when confronted with rejection. As Romney spoke in the well of the Senate this week, explaining why he could not ignore his conclusion that Donald Trump had unforgivably abused his office in the Ukraine scandal, it was evident he had learned long ago that religious conviction can require the fortitude to withstand public scorn....

The Armenia international, signed from Borussia Dortmund in July, also scored his team’s only goal away to Saint-Etienne in the previous round last month, sealing a 4-0 aggregate victory, but had to be withdrawn in the 25th minute after picking up a hamstring injury, forcing him to miss the EFL Cup final triumph over Southampton and a 1-1 Premier League draw at home to Bournemouth on Saturday.

After turning in an off-colour performance in the derby loss to Manchester City in September, he would not get another league start for three months as Jose Mourinho saw fit to take him away from the spotlight and allow him to assimilate in his own time. “At the beginning, we had some difficulties,” explained Mkhitaryan to the BBC in February. “It’s not very easy because you know when you have a new manager you have to try to adapt yourself to him, to the team, to the training session, to the game....
