PHOENIX – The Patriots were believed to be among the many suitors for Denver wide receiver Jerry Jeudy.Broncos head coach Sean Payton, however, did his best Sunday to squash any trade talk surrounding Jeudy, as well as fellow receiver Courtland Sutton.Speaking to NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero at the Annual League Meeting, Payton sounded resolute.“I see and read just like everyone else does,” Payton said. “Then occasionally, when someone really crowds the plate, I throw a fastball right at their chin, and they back up, and they’re like, ‘Alright.’ And so I haven’t thrown any fastballs lately, but we’re not trading those two players.”Of course, Payton could just be posturing to drive the price up, but he didn’t leave much wiggle room speaking with Pelissero. It doesn’t appear Jeudy is up for sale.“When people call and the phone rings like it does this time of year, (general manager) George Paton’s ...Bundle up for Red Sox Opening Day: Boston will be colder than it was during NHL Winter Classic

The early forecast for opening day at Wrigley Field on Thursday calls for cloudy skies and balmy temperatures in the low 50s.After one of the coolest spring training stretches in Arizona, the Chicago Cubs should be well prepared for a day like that.“I don’t know what’s going on,” manager David Ross said Sunday of the unseasonable spring weather. “We’ve only had a couple warm days, right? We say it prepares us for (Chicago), but we’d be begging for this some days in Chicago.”A sunny, 70-degree Sunday at Sloan Park was about as good as it gets.The Cubs wound up with a 5-0 win over the Kansas City Royals before 15,261 in what technically was the final spring game. The final two home games against the White Sox on Monday and Tuesday were added late and won’t count in the Cactus League standings.Cold and rainy weather could play a factor for the Cubs early this season.

ROME (AP) — The Florence museum housing Michelangelo’s Renaissance masterpiece the David on Sunday invited parents and students from a Florida charter school to visit after complaints about a lesson featuring the statue forced the principal to resign.Florence Mayor Dario Nardella also tweeted an invitation for the principal to visit so he can personally honor her. Confusing art with pornography was “ridiculous,” Nardella said. The board of the Tallahassee Classical School pressured Principal Hope Carrasquilla to resign last week after an image of the David was show to a sixth-grade art class. The school has a policy requiring parents to be notified in advance about “controversial” topics being taught. The incredulous Italian response highlighted how the U.S. culture wars are often perceived in Europe, where despite a rise in right-wing sentiment and governance, the Renaissance and its masterpieces, even its naked ones, are generally free of controversy.

ROLLING FORK, Miss. (AP) — As a deadly tornado tore through the lower Mississippi Delta, the Rev. Mary Stewart clung to a door in the hallway of her Rolling Fork home, shielding herself from the branches and chunks of debris that came flying through her shattered windows.Friday’s storm flattened entire town blocks, but the Rolling Fork Methodist Church withstood the high winds. And so the first Sunday after the twister would commence just like any other Sunday — with congregants reaffirming their faith and finding solace together. “We are a very religious community,” said Laura Allmon, a fourth-generation congregant. “It just means a lot for us to be able to get together and pray and be thankful for what we have.”At least 26 people were killed and dozens of others were injured late Friday in Mississippi as the storm ripped through one of the poorest regions in the country, leaving a swath of destruction in its wake.With their homes unlivable, many Rolling Fork residents flocke...Canadian Pacific train derails in Franklin Park
