LAS VEGAS — A Fox Sports ad promoting its World Cup coverage and featuring Mike Eruzione has been pushing the narrative that another sports miracle involving an underdog American team can become a reality. And, much like the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" in which Eruzione and a collection of college kids beat the powerful Soviet Union hockey team in the Olympics, the United States walking off with the World Cup trophy seems unlikely.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The U.S. military said Tuesday that it carried out strikes on Iran following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz that U.S. President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic. Tehran vowed to respond. The strikes were "a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression," U.S. Central Command said on social media. Iranian state media reported that explosions were heard on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping lane that Iran has effectively closed during the war, before saying the wave of American ...
BEREA (AP) — Joel Bitonio had a good idea in January that he would be retiring after 12 seasons with the Cleveland Browns. On Tuesday, it was time for the offensive lineman to make it official. "This place is so special that it was hard to truly say goodbye. I'm so glad I got to learn ...
