Camden Pulkinen’s life has gotten rather more difficult since last August. “About tenfold more difficult,” he said. For the previous six years, when he lived and trained in Colorado Springs, Pulkinen had a five-minute drive to a rink where the elite figure skaters had almost unlimited ice time. He had finished high school online and then had taken in-person and online college courses at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs essentially on his own schedule. . When I spoke to him early last week, that life seemed a distant memory. Now he is up at the crack of dawn to get from Columbia University’s Manhattan campus to the Chelsea Piers Sky Rink, where he begins his daily training between 8 and 8:30, and the ice time available to him ends at 11:20. That trip involves 14 stops on the 7th Avenue subway and then a mile-long walk to the rink, and it takes between 50 and 55 minutes. When his training ends, Pulkinen does the trip in reverse to begin his day as a sophomore at the … [Read more...] about Living in two worlds, Camden Pulkinen eyes first US Championships medal

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made it clear that Mike McCarthy's job was safe following the team's playoff loss to the 49ers , but that statement apparently didn't apply to everyone on the coaching staff. The team made a major move Thursday by parting ways with six assistant coaches: Offensive line coach Joe Philbin, running backs coach Skip Peete, senior defensive assistant George Edwards, assistant head coach Rob Davis, quality control/analytics coach Kyle Valero and assistant defensive line coach Leon Lett. Of those six guys, Davis, Valero and Lett were fired while Philbin, Peete and Edwards simply didn't get their contracts renewed. The Cowboys' decision comes just four days after their season-ending playoff loss to the 49ers. "We thank these men for their hard work, dedication and contributions to the Cowboys," McCarthy said in a statement ( via NFL Network ). "Each of them represented our team and organization at a high, professional level with class and commitment to … [Read more...] about Cowboys make major shakeup to coaching staff, cut ties with several assistants following playoff loss to 49ers

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Helio Castroneves might be at the 2023 Daytona 500, but the four-time Indy 500 winner won’t be in a race car. During a news conference Thursday at Daytona International Speedway, Castroneves confirmed in response to a question from NBC Sports that he essentially has ruled out attempting to make his NASCAR Cup Series debut in the Feb. 19 season opener. As recently as last Thursday at Rolex 24 Media Day, Castroneves, 47, said he still was working on trying to piece together a deal. The Brazilian had been negotiating with the Cup team co-owned by boxer Floyd Mayweather and would have been in an “open” entry that lacked guaranteed entry to the Great American Race. That potentially would leave him in the precarious position of needing to make the race on qualifying speed or a qualifying race finish ( as action sports star Travis Pastrana likely might need in his Cup debut ). DETAILS FOR THE 61ST ROLEX 24 : How to watch, entry lists, schedules for the … [Read more...] about Indy winner Helio Castroneves rules out Daytona 500 in 2023 – NBC Sports

Getty Images We are less than a month away from spring training, baseball fans. Here is each team's spring training reporting date . Now here are Thursday's hot stove rumors as you await baseball's return in a few weeks. Red Sox could add more infielders, pitchers? The Red Sox have already obtained one infielder this week, snagging Adalberto Mondesi in a trade with the Royals , but that doesn't mean they're finished making additions to that area of their roster. Indeed, top baseball executive Chaim Bloom told reporters ( including Chris Cotillo of MassLive ): "We'd still love to add if the opportunities are there." As it stands, the Red Sox will be without Trevor Story for at least a chunk of the season. That leaves Enrique Hernández as the projected starting shortstop, with Mondesi (who is recovering from an ACL tear) as a candidate to slot in at the keystone. The Red Sox also have Christian Arroyo hanging around, as well as Rob Refsnyder and youngsters … [Read more...] about MLB rumors: Red Sox still open to adding middle infielders after Adalberto Mondesi trade
