Kokesh wasn’t arrested, but if he had been it wouldn’t have been the first time. In the eight months since he joined Iraq Veterans Against the War, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit, the telegenic Kokesh has become a fixture on the antiwar scene giving speeches, blogging, staging mock military patrols and being arrested in cities all over country. He was on Larry King’s CNN show Thursday night, and Wonkette snarkily reports sightings of Kokesh in cafes around D....

Kisner - the runner-up to Bubba Watson at Austin Country Club 12 months ago - won the 18th hole to defeat Molinari and to book a final match-up against fellow American Matt Kuchar, who won this event in 2013. Kuchar was also a 1up victor over Lucas Bjerregaard, the Dane who produced a stunning finish to eliminate Tiger Woods in the quarter-finals. None of the first five holes in the contest between Kisner and Molinari were halved and the Open champion - who won all five of his matches at the 2018 Ryder Cup - won the seventh to get back on level terms....

Kisner set the early clubhouse target in round one of The Open on Thursday with a sublime five-under-par 66 on a glorious day at Carnoustie that was providing the opportunity for low scoring, hitting just 22 putts along the way. Last year, Kisner was able to spend ample time with golf’s iconic trophy following Spieth’s triumph at Royal Birkdale and the 34-year-old is aiming to reverse the roles. “I spent a lot of time with Jordan and the Claret Jug....

He played with Tiger Woods for the first time. Kizzire was so nervous on the opening tee shot at the Honda Classic that he hooked it into a palmetto bush and had to go back to the tee. He had rounds of 74-78 to miss the cut. “Right there at the top,” he said Tuesday. “At the time, I don’t realize how good it is for me, but things that get me so excited I can hardly even perform and what makes me better....

The Kolkata Knight Riders, despite making a few radical changes in the IPL Auction, succumbed to a heavy defeat against Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah earlier in the week. As for the Sunrisers, they would be utterly disappointed with their loss against RCB. Despite being well-placed to win their opening encounter, SRH’s batting woes came to the fore as they suffered a collapse. They will be looking to make amends for that performance, although that is easier said than done....

On the Mike & Mike show Thursday morning, Klay Thompson’s father, Mychal, called in and had some disturbing news on the condition of the Warriors shooting guard. MORE: Curry’s family opens up about success | Finals predictions The injury happened during the fourth quarter of Golden State’s series-clinching victory over the Rockets. Thompson’s ear canal was bleeding, and he seemed to have a hard time hearing when being interviewed after the Warriors’ 104-90 win....

Thompson suffered the injury in the third quarter on a breakaway. Danny Green went up to contest a shot and Thompson was thrown off balance on his way down before his knee twisted awkwardly. He stayed down for a minute and initially went to the locker room. But, because he had been awarded two free throws he couldn’t go just yet. Had he left he would have been ineligible to come back in the game....

(Reuters) - Juergen Klinsmann insisted to the bitter end that he could turn around U.S. soccer fortunes but on Monday was handed one of his biggest defeats when he was dismissed as national coach and technical director. A giant of German soccer as a World Cup winning-player and a coach who led them to the semi-finals in 2006 when they hosted the tournament, Klinsmann was shown the exit before fulfilling his quest to raise the U....

Sadio Mane made the most of some slack defending to score the only goal of the game after 73 minutes and secure the Reds’ first Premier League win of 2017-18. Spurs & Chelsea to draw 12/5 with dabblebet The home side were short of their best at Anfield and could have found themselves behind midway through the second half, with Christian Benteke spurning a glorious chance against his former club....

The former Borussia Dortmund manager celebrated a year in charge at Anfield this month, having enjoyed two cup finals in that period, and has led the Reds to fourth in the Premier League table this season as they sit just two points behind leaders Manchester City. And although the club finished eighth last season, Klopp believes that he and his players have shown enough to supporters to instill confidence in long-term success at the club....

The two domestic rivals meet at Anfield in the first leg of their quarter-final tie on Wednesday, with the return fixture taking place at the Etihad Stadium the following Tuesday. On the brink of securing the Premier League title and having already won the Carabao Cup, City have the chance to complete a famous treble if they go on to conquer Europe this season. However, Liverpool remain the only side to beat the champions-elect in the league, recording a thrilling 4-3 triumph over Pep Guardiola’s side back in January....

Klopp has overseen a significant improvement since taking over at Anfield in 2015, turning the Reds into a real force both domestically and in Europe. Under Klopp, Liverpool have reached three major European finals and won the 2018-19 Champions League, following that up with UEFA Super Cup success. Although they missed out in the Premier League title last term, finishing just a point behind Manchester City, a stunning start to the new campaign has them eight clear of Pep Guardiola’s men after eight matches....

And as kick off edged closer, that feeling had only ballooned. The German joked pre-match that the tactics “had already started” with him not being able to have a cup of coffee, with only tea available. “For the first time, there was no ‘welcome’ or something like that in the programme,” Klopp continued with a giggle. Liverpool were indeed handicapped ahead of kick off, but not by those trivial details....

With the window set to close on Thursday, European champions Liverpool’s only additions have been teenagers Sepp van den Berg and Harvey Elliott. Klopp has insisted the Reds must understand they cannot always spend big, while he has also pointed to the strength of a squad boosted by fit-again duo Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Rhian Brewster. Captain Henderson has no issue with the approach, believing his manager knows best. “I think we’ve got a fantastic squad of players, we’ve showed that,” he said....
