LONDON — Matt Cullen's streak of attending NFL games in London is nearing an end. The Englishman's run started at London's first regular-season game in 2007, when he shrugged off steady rain to watch the New York Giants beat the Miami Dolphins at Wembley Stadium. But Cullen can't bring ...
MADISON, Wis. — Even though he was nearly 2,000 miles from where he'd grown up, Ryan Hopkins felt right at home as a quarterback prospect visiting Wisconsin. "I felt the energy from the city," said Hopkins, a former three-star recruit from Mater Dei in Santa Ana, California. "I felt the ...

BERLIN — Breanna Stewart knows exactly how much pressure the U.S. team is under to keep its World Cup title streak going. The Americans have won four straight women's FIBA World Cup championships and she's been a part of the last three. Now the 32-year-old is the leader of a group that features many fresh faces. "There's a ton of pressure, on team USA and on us and embracing that," she told The Associated Press. "Not having the team face it in a bad way, but understanding the ones that have been before us and what they've done. We want to continue to have success every ...
