But 2020 will host a different kind of celebration, one that will require many Americans to reflect on the holiday’s meaning from their own homes, due to COVID-19. There are a lot of things to think about when it comes to Memorial Day. Here are some facts about the celebration, and why it means a whole lot more than just a summer soiree. Ancient Greece Hosted Something Similar Americans weren’t the first to declare a day to remember lost loved ones....

Dukurs also won the sport's "Triple Trophy" after posting the fastest time in every heat over the season's final three races, earning him a bonus of about $137,000. His winning time Saturday was 1 minute, 40.83 seconds, edging his brother Tomass Dukurs by 0.82 seconds. Frank Rommel of Germany was third.

Not only was a new record set for shortest title fight but seven of the promotion’s 10 championships changed hands over the course of the year to seven new champions. The closest any recent year has come to matching this was in 2010, when three new champions were crowned when the UFC only had seven weight classes (and no female division). The overhaul in champions also ended three of the four longest reigns in the promotion....

Normally, our draft strategy when it comes to D/STs is to wait until the late-middle rounds (or later) and try to avoid busts, knowing full well that we’ll have to play matchups at some point during the season anyway. That’s what makes finding a true D/ST “sleeper” so difficult – even some of the top-10 defenses will likely have several weeks where you can’t/don’t want to use them. MORE 2016 RANKINGS: Quarterbacks | Running backs | Wide receivers | Tight ends | Kickers...

The Sixers also will get the Lakers’ first-round pick if it’s not in the top three, and Philly has the 24th (from the Heat) and 26th (from the Thunder) picks, as well. MORE: Who would each potential lottery winner draft first? No matter how Tuesday’s draft lottery, at 8 p.m. ET in New York, shakes out, one thing is clear. “We’re just not good enough right now as a team to hold anything back,” Sixers president Bryan Colangelo said (via Philly....

Or blame us, your call. We’re fine either way. The bottom line is Schwarber and Sanchez seem like locks for 25-plus homers. Posey has never hit that many and is coming off a season in which he clubbed just 14. Homers aren’t the only fantasy stat, of course, but they sure do matter a lot. Posey will always have an advantage on most catchers because he plays virtually every day and is a consistent high-average hitter with a high OBP, but Schwarber and Jonathan Lucroy, our No....

WEEK 1 RANKINGS: Defense/special teams Your starting defense can be streamed each week based on scheduling or who plays the Browns, but the Broncos and Chiefs, who finished among the top four fantasy D/STs last year, have the first and second easiest schedules based on win-loss records, respectively. With little change on defense for both teams, it’s likely they’ll finish toward the top again. Many of last year’s top defenses (Vikings, Seahawks, Texans) face some of the toughest schedules, but that’s no reason to shy away from them....

The draft strategy for kickers follows the same story each year: Wait until the last couple rounds, make sure he is on a high-scoring offense and is somewhat reliable. When in doubt, go with a guy in a dome, and once the season starts, just stream based on weather and matchups. Like defense/special teams, don’t fall for following the leader after someone drafts a kicker in the 10th round. When those last two rounds arrive, then click on the kicker bar....

NL Rookie of the Year Ronald Acuna Jr. almost notched a 20-20 season (26 HRs, 16 SBs) and propelled Atlanta to a playoff appearance well before anyone expected the rebuilding Braves to be a postseason team. Seven other rookies hit at least 20 home runs, including Nationals 19-year-old outfielder Juan Soto, who was one of baseball’s best hitters, posting a .923 OPS with 22 long balls. Two-way player and AL Rookie of the Year Shohei Ohtani also hit 22 home runs and notched an equally-impressive ....

As speculation has mounted about how Trump’s diagnosis might affect his campaign against former Vice President Joe Biden, some of the world’s most prominent bookmakers moved to temporarily suspend betting on the race. Betfair put a halt to betting on the election on Friday as news of Trump’s positive COVID test filtered through. They were soon followed by other major bookmakers, such as Ladbrokes, Australia’s TAB and Ireland-based Paddy Power....

Announcements were made for every position, giving honors to some players for the first time while further padding the trophy cabinet of other top fielders.

Owned by Sackatoga Stable and trained by veteran trainer Barclay Tagg, who has racked up over 1,500 wins in his illustrious career, “Tiz The Law” is a 3/5 favorite with most bookmakers. If he is to win a second Triple Crown race in as many attempts, however, “Tiz The Law” will have to make history. The 3-year-old colt was drawn to start from post No. 17, a gate that has produced a grand total of zero winners since the Kentucky Derby first adopted starting gates nine decades ago....

Idaho, which is struggling to convince its residents to get vaccinated, logged about 1,000 new cases a day last week. Available intensive care unit beds had been well under 100 leading up to Tuesday, when the Republican governor said only four were left in the entire state. During a remote press conference, Little called his decision a last-ditch effort before he is—for the first time—forced to activate statewide crisis triage that would put medical professionals in a position to decide who lives or dies....

At its best, the Games provide drama and excitement of the highest order, creating iconic moments, Olympic legends and overnight stars in the space of just a few short weeks. But even at its worst, the Olympics offer up a unique perspective on the human condition. Because in the Games, as in life, things can often go wrong. Very wrong. And in an age of smartphones and social media, that usually equates to some moments being remembered and revisited for all the wrong reasons....

Launched at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, the “Naming the Lost” vigil has seen dozens of volunteers from across the country, including Americans who have lost loved ones themselves to coronavirus, read out the names of people who have died over a 24-hour period.
