Shapiro remains steadfast on no state money for new arenas, champions Pa. sports scene at Pocono
LONG POND, Pa. — Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro reaffirmed the state would provide no funding for any new sports arenas — a possibility that looms with the Eagles' lease set to expire in 2032 — and said there were conversations about bringing NASCAR to Philadelphia as he championed the state's full sports slate next year during an appearance Sunday at Pocono Raceway.

Iran bombing becomes a major topic of discussion among NYC Democratic mayoral primary candidates
The New York City metropolitan area has the largest Jewish population outside Israel, so it is not surprising that the United States' bombing of Iran became topic number one Sunday for Mayor Eric Adams and the Democrats who want to replace him. What was surprising was the warning from Adams and others that the decision to bomb Iran could have repercussions nearly 6,400 miles away here in the five boroughs. Sleeper cells on the minds of the mayor and NYPD leaders The mayor is taking seriously warnings from Washington that Iran could activate sleeper cells here to seek retribution for the bombings. "You're always concerned about sleeper cells," Adams said. "We're going to ensure that we focus on sleeper cells." Rebecca Weiner, the NYPD's commissioner of intelligence and counter terrorism, told CBS News New York's Marcia Kramer her agency has been on alert for days. "We are doubling down on our efforts. We are doubling down, reaching out to partners internationally, federally, doubling down on all the monitoring that we are doing," Weiner said. The mayor said there are currently no credible threats and he wants the deputy commissioner to be proactive -- not reactive. Andrew Cuomo issues warning to New Yorkers The bombing became the top topic of discussion on the Democratic mayoral primary trail on Sunday. Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo also warned of something happening here. "As a New Yorker, my natural instinct, as a former governor, former HUD secretary, New York should get ready for possible reprisal from Iran," Cuomo said. Like many of the other candidates, Cuomo took issue with President Trump ordering the attack on Iran without consulting Congress but supported the end result. "I think the world is a safer place without Iran having nuclear weapons, yes," Cuomo said. Other candidates take issue with Trump's decision making Queens Assemblyman and mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, who has faced charges he has insufficiently supported the Jewish state, said of Trump's actions, "Today's unconstitutional military action represents a new, dark chapter in his endless series of betrayals that now threaten to plunge the world deeper into chaos. In a city as global as ours, the impacts of war are felt deeply here." "Deeply troubling. I mean, unconstitutional. It's going to escalate the risks of war and violence and death for Iranians, for Israelis and for Americans," City Comptroller Brad Lander said. "War Powers Act requires congressional approval, which he did not get." "They're concerned that this president has undergone a military strike without authorization of Congress. We all know that this decision is typically made by Congress, so once again this president is overstepping his boundaries and totally disregarding the constitution," City Council President Adrienne Adams said. With the primary just two days away, the candidates had full slates of appearances to get their voters to the polls. Early voting has been robust, but it will all come down to the turnout on Tuesday.

WNBA Reacts to Hailey Van Lith's Play in Chicago Sky Game on Sunday
WNBA Reacts to Hailey Van Lith's Play in Chicago Sky Game on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky have been looking to find some sort of rhythm in the first quarter of the WNBA season, having struggled as of late. Advertisement Chicago has lost five of its past six games, heading into its most recent matchup riding a two-game losing streak. On Sunday, the Sky played the Atlanta Dream, looking to climb out of a recent rut. Chicago entered the game as the No. 11 team in the WNBA standings with a 3-9 record, while the Dream were ranked as the No. 4 team with a 9-4 record. During the matchup, as the Sky looked to complete the upset victory, the WNBA highlighted a play from guard Hailey Van Lith. The Sky rookie found her way to two points with a rip through on the defender and a couple of punch dribbles before rising up for an unbalanced fadeaway. Advertisement "Hailey Van Lith makes the off balance shot look EASY," posted the official social media account of the WNBA. "ATL-CHI | Live on League Pass." After the WNBA expressed their "EASY" take on Hailey Van Lith's play against the Atlanta Dream, the Sky entered the locker room at halftime with a 46-45 deficit. A win for Chicago would mean the momentum is back on the side of first-year head coach Tyler Marsh and his staff, who have struggled to find consistency in a lineup full of talented players, including Kamilla Cardoso and Angel Reese. Chicago Sky rookie Hailey Van Krzaczynski-Imagn Images In her first season with the Chicago Sky, Hailey Van Lith has posted 5.1 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game entering Sunday's contest. Advertisement She was drafted by Chicago with the No. 11 overall pick in the most recent draft and has slowly been making a greater impact on the lineup as the season has progressed.

The Action Network: Great American Getaway 400 odds, picks, predictions
The NASCAR Cup Series is at the 'Tricky Triangle' this week for The Great American Getaway 400 at Pocono Raceway (2:00 p.m. ET, Prime Video). Pocono is a 2.5-mile, triangle-shaped track with three different radius corners, each with varying degrees of (relatively flat) banking, and three different straightaway lengths. In geometry class, we called that a scalene triangle, and with three differently priced manufacturers for this race, I'll be scaling that scalene definition to the betting world. Advertisement When we examine track history and practice times, one manufacturer stands out with a few undervalued drivers, so I'll take the lot of them for the win. Let's dive in and check out our Great American Getaway 400 odds, picks and predictions for Pocono. NASCAR at Pocono Best Bet As I do every race, I take a close look at my practice FLAGS metric to identify which drivers stand out and if there are any trends in the FLAGS data. As it turns out, there was a pretty clear trend right off the bat. Each of the top-four drivers in my group-adjusted FLAGS was piloting a Ford, with Ryan Blaney leading Chris Buescher, Austin Cindric, and Brad Keselowski until we reached the first non-Ford, William Byron. Advertisement The Blue Ovals also boast a relatively strong recent track history, with Blaney winning this race a year ago and setting the most fastest laps, while Buescher and Keselowski racked up the second- and fifth-most fastest laps. Ford as a whole took home 71 of the 117 (60.7%) fastest laps, including four of the top five drivers, with Josh Berry grabbing 13 fastest laps. In addition, Cindric claimed four fastest laps, so it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that he ended up in the top four in FLAGS. Berry is also undervalued in my model, because there's no way to account for a car not completing any representative at-speed laps, with Berry having a diffuser issue costing him pace in practice and forcing him to miss qualifying. Even with Berry undervalued in my model, it still shows Ford having a 32.6% chance of winning this race, which translates to implied odds of +207. Advertisement If we bump Berry up a bit, this wager likely shows value at close to 2-to-1. However, as always, I like to leave some wiggle room for model error, so I'm comfortable with this down to around +220. FanDuel is offering this at +260, which is a healthy deviation from my model's number. Ford looked fantastic on the long run, so if you're tailing me on this, we're probably rooting for a healthy green flag run to end this race, rather than some late-race restarts where Chevy showed plenty of speed on the short run. The Bet: Ford Winning Manufacturer (+260, FanDuel | Bet to +220)
