The team ruled him out, and he flew home alone.Fast forward 26 years: Lue, the coach of the Los Angeles Clippers, is now wearing the logo overseas. It’s not on a jersey, but on polo shirts, as he’s part of the staff that will guide the U.S. men’s team through the Basketball World Cup in Manila starting later this month.“I think it’s an honor,” Lue said. “You grow up watching basketball, watching the Olympic team, the Dream Team, you always want to play for those teams. I wasn’t good enough, but it’s amazing to have an opportunity to repres...

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Kyle Larson might be the busiest driver in motorsports.He started Saturday by practicing and qualifying for the Brickyard 200 then traveled to Iowa where he led all 50 laps to claim his second win in three years at the prestigious Knoxville Nationals. A red-eye return to Indy had him back in time for Sunday’s race, where he finished eighth, and even the pre-race news conference to discuss his attempt at racing’s double next May.And with additional trips booked for Indy in preparation of what he hopes will be 1,100 miles of racing in one day, Larson, admittedly, is trying to strike the proper balance between chasing a second Cup title and prepping for his IndyCar debut.“I’m sure once things slow down in the offseason and I have time to sit around and think about the upcoming season is when it’s really going to hit,” Larson said, describing his thoughts about driving next year’s Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600. “I’m sure that’s when all t...

Union Pacific’s new CEO promises improved safety and service but big rail unions lukewarm on hire

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 00:19:10 GMT

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Union Pacific’s new CEO Jim Vena started Monday by promising to improve safety and service to help the railroad grow, but he cautioned that “the road ahead won’t be an easy one.”Some of the Omaha, Nebraska, railroad’s biggest unions are already lukewarm on Vena’s hiring because he is a strong proponent of the lean operating model UP and the rest of the industry have been using in recent years that led to widespread job cuts. Vena helped oversee Union Pacific’s initial implementation of that “precision scheduled railroading” model when he served as the railroad’s chief operating officer for two years starting in 2019.Vena suggested more changes are coming at the railroad in a note to all of UP’s staff Monday where he emphasized his experience working his way up through the industry after starting as a brakeman, but he didn’t offer any specifics. He was hired last month after a hedge fund pressured the railroad to oust...
