ATLANTA (AP) — Ahead of the World Cup, Chris Richards has a new take on what makes America unique.

"Maybe the TSA lines right now, that's pretty American," the U.S. defender said Monday ahead of a World Cup warmup match against Portugal.

A native of Birmingham, Alabama, Richards lives much of the year in London, where he plays for English club Crystal Palace. He arrived in the U.S. last week for a pair of national team friendlies in Atlanta.

His earlier take on what was uniquely American focused on food. During October friendlies in Texas and Colorado, he took teammates Cameron Carter-Vickers and Antonee Robinson, who grew up in England, to Chili's Grill and Bar as part of a group with Tim Weah, Weston McKennie and Mark McKenzie, according to cbssports.com.

"The Triple Dipper you have to get but then I think it's the endless chips and salsa, but then also there's sports on TV and also the chocolate molten lava cake and it's just like you're sitting there and you're looking at the ground, the tile," Richards was quoted as saying. "You're like, this is beautiful. This is nostalgia. This is really America … I think that's one of the things that makes us American — places like Chili's are like a staple and I think they finally could have that stamp on their passport now that they've had Chili's so I was happy for them."

France coach Didier Deschamps spoke of airport security ahead of Sunday's friendly against Colombia at Landover, Maryland.

Speaking in a news conference ahead of Sunday's clash with Colombia in Maryland, Deschamps revealed his shock at the rigorous protocols encountered upon arrival.

"At our arrival, we spent an incredible amount of time at the airport, with checks that I've never seen in my life," the coach explained to reporters. "We are adapting."

MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) — American defender Chris Richards has recovered from a knee injury and says he can play in the United States' friendly against Portugal on Tuesday but midfielder Johnny Cardoso is hurt and will leave camp ahead of the game.

Richards, the top American central defender, missed Saturday's 5-2 loss to Belgium.

Richards sustained a slight injury during Crystal Palace's Europa Conference League match at Larnaca on March 19.

"I'm fine," he said Monday. "I had a bad tackle in my last game with Palace and so just a little bit of knee pain, knee soreness, but I've been training individually all week and I'm available for tomorrow."

Cardoso started against Belgium and was replaced by Cristian Roldan for the start of the second half. Cardoso was to return Monday night to Atletico Madrid.

"Johnny arrived from Madrid with some small things, issues," U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino said. "The plan was to play 45 minutes, but when finished after 45 minutes he feel again this type of uncomfortable things in some part of his leg.

"I think he was good during 45 minutes." Pochettino said. "I am happy with his performance, commitment and intention to play."

Christian Pulisic goal drought

Pochettino said he may tinker with the positioning of Christian Pulisic, who usually is on a wing with the national team. Pulisic is scoreless in his last 12 games with AC Milan and his last seven for the U.S. dating to November 2024.

"Maybe we help a little bit to go a little bit more closer to the goal," Pochettino said. "Maybe we can do some tests also to play with maybe more midfielder and less offensive player."

Pochettino said he never felt comfortable during Saturday's loss to Belgium. Weston McKennie put the U.S. ahead in the 39th minute and the Americans allowed five straight goals.

On the 5-2 loss to Belgium

"You saw my face when we scored," Pochettino said, drawing his lips and trying to show no emotion. "My gut feeling, it wasn't good. You say why? Because when we scored, we should be the third goal, not the first goal."

Comparing lack of aggression to dieting and then bingeing

Pochettino said maintaining aggressiveness is the same as dietary control following weight loss.

"After you need to have discipline, no? No big intention to eat the nice food and everything like this," he said. "I won but then it's nice, no, the chicken, the steak, the lasagna, the pasta?"

Chris, Christian, Cristian on one team can be confusing

Pochettino laughed about having to learn which name or nickname to use referring to each player.

"I have Christian Pulisic, Cristian Roldan, Chris is Richards and sometimes now they make me to change: Cristian Rolan is Roldy, Roldan, and Antonee Robinson is Jedi," he said. "I am learning how to call after nearly after two years these guys."

Last baseball season, torpedo bats (remember those?) stole the show on opening weekend. They were all anyone could talk about.

But time – and technology – marches on. So what do we have dominating the discourse after the first series of games in 2026? ABS challenges, of course!

If the idea is to get the important balls and strikes calls correct, we're off to a good start. Except for Twins manager Derek Shelton, who was tossed from a game on Sunday, March 29, for arguing an overturned Ball 4.

That incident sparked a memorable call from Orioles TV announcer Kevin Brown, who exclaimed: "He's arguing with the robots! You can't defeat the robots!!"

Meanwhile, fantasy baseball managers are waging their own battles with technology as the season gets rolling.

Are my projections on target? Is this guy's hot start a fact or fluke? Why didn't the computer give my top waiver pickup?

In the search for just a fraction of the clarity ABS provides, it's time to recognize how easy it is to overreact to the small samples of the early season.

Our annual Tuffy Awards shine a spotlight on the lesser-known players off to hot starts who will raise fantasy managers' expectations, and then predictably return to a near-replacement level of production.

The inspiration for the awards is unheralded Chicago Cubs outfielder Karl "Tuffy" Rhodes, who hit three home runs off Dwight Gooden on opening day in 1994. Fantasy teams who grabbed Rhodes off the waiver wire saw him hit .234 with five home runs from that point forward.

So with a mix of caution and skepticism, we begin our quest to uncover this year's Tuffy.

1 / 0See the excitement of Opening Day as MLB welcomes a new season

Philadelphia Phillies fans pose for a photo by an opening day sign before a game against the Texas Rangers at Citizens Bank Park on Mar. 26, 2026.

They might be legit

Not every unexpectedly fast start is necessarily a fluke. There are always a few early-season waiver wire pickups who remain productive all year. Here are a few worth taking seriously.

Advertisement

OF Chase DeLauter, Cleveland Guardians. The No. 16 overall pick in 2022 out of James Madison made his MLB debut during last year's playoffs. Then in his first official at-bat with the Guardians, he took the Mariners' Logan Gilbert deep – and seemingly never stopped slugging. After one series, DeLauter led the majors with four home runs.

The 24-year-old has always been a highly regarded prospect, but persistent foot injuries have kept him from playing more than 57 games in any of his three pro seasons. Through it all, he's consistently posted excellent numbers. It's time DeLauter takes a big step forward.

3B Munetaka Murakami, Chicago White Sox. There was plenty of skepticism this offseason that Murakami's outrageous power numbers in Japan would translate to the majors, where he'd see many more power arms. The former Triple Crown winner and Japan Central League MVP seems to have adjusted pretty well though, with three solo homers in his first three games. There are still concerns about his contact rate and propensity to strike out, but he did have as many walks as strikeouts (four) in his opening series.

SP Jose Soriano, Los Angeles Angels. We all should know better than to get too excited about Angels pitchers, but Soriano thrived in his first opening day start. He averaged 99.1 mph on his fastball – up 1.2 mph from last year's average – in tossing six scoreless innings against the Astros. He also allowed just two hits and struck out seven.

Near-Tuffys

SP Emerson Hancock, Seattle Mariners. In the final game of opening week, Hancock stopped the Guardians (including DeLauter) cold. Sure, the chilly temperatures may have helped, but he struck out nine and allowed just one walk in six no-hit innings before departing. This performance came out of nowhere after Hancock posted ERAs near 5.00 while bouncing between Seattle and the minors the past two seasons. The former first-round pick should make a few more starts before Bryce Miller is healthy, but it's hard to see him doing this again.

SP Randy Vasquez, San Diego Padres. In his first two seasons with the Padres, Vasquez averaged fewer than six strikeouts per nine innings with swinging-strike rates below 8.5%. In his first start of 2026, he fanned eight Tigers in six frames with a 14.3% swinging-strike rate. Like Hancock, Vasquez did gain more than a tick on his fastball from last season, but let's see if it sticks.

SP Eric Lauer, Toronto Blue Jays. After fellow starters Kevin Gausman and Dylan Cease combined for 11 ⅓ scoreless innings against the Athletics, Lauer followed with four more of his own before allowing a two-run homer in the fifth. What was most eye-opening though: nine strikeouts in 5 ⅓ innings (part of a major league record 50 strikeouts for Toronto pitchers in the season's first three games).

Jumping on the Jays bandwagon is easy at this point, but Lauer's time in the rotation will only last until Trey Yesavage returns from a shoulder strain in a couple weeks.

2B David Hamilton, Milwaukee Brewers. One glance at the half-week stolen base leaders reveals Hamilton ahead of everyone with three. (On pace to top 70!) But Hamilton had just four at-bats and eight plate appearances in the Brewers' opening series while platooning with Luis Rengifo at third base. If you need speed only, he swiped a total of 55 over the past two seasons in part-time duty with the Red Sox. But he won't give you anything else.

3B Ben Williamson, Tampa Bay Rays. Also getting off to a hot start with his new team, Williamson went 5-for-9 and scored four runs in his first three games. Known primarily for his glove, he's part of a platoon at third and will only see part-time at-bats until Gavin Lux returns from the IL Williamson has just one home run in 286 career at-bats through Sunday.

And the 2026 Tuffy Award goes to ...

Nationals outfielder Joey Wiemer, right, celebrates a three-run homer against the Cubs that scored teammates Brady House and Daylen Lile. Wiemer recorded six hits in his first six at-bats of the 2026 season.

OF Joey Wiemer, Washington Nationals. It's hard to be any better than Wiemer was in going 6-for-6 with a couple of walks and two home runs to start the season. The 27-year-old journeyman is playing for his fourth major league team in four seasons. On a rebuilding Nationals squad, it's no surprise he went undrafted in just about every fantasy league after hitting .150 this spring.

Wiemer's roster rate will skyrocket this week after he homered on opening day and followed it up with three-run blast on Sunday. But those heroics came against a pair of left-handed Cubs starters. He isn't going to take away playing time from a true young talent like Daylen Lile in right field or a defensive whiz like Jacob Young in center.

Wiemer is a nice story, but one we've seen many times before at this time of year.

For every iconic moment we see on television during March Madness, there are many other captivating subplots going on at the same time.

Weaving them all together is what makes the best in the TV production business so great at what they do.

During CBS's coverage of UConn's improbable 73-72 comeback win over Duke in the Elite Eight, Braylon Mullins' 35-footer to beat the buzzer was obviously the focal point. But the network's camera operators also had to be ready for the reaction shots.

Shortly after the game ended, the NCAA released its own "sizzle reel" with 10 different angles of the key game-ending sequence and its aftermath that wonderfully captures the wide range of emotions.

One angle that didn't make the cut there was a reaction shot of CBS announcers Bill Raftery and Grant Hill as they joined play-by-play man Ian Eagle on the call.

It certainly was a magical moment for UConn. And a bitter defeat (once again) for Duke.

It's just another reason why we can't get enough of March Madness.

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Friends may have wrapped more than 20 years ago (22, to be exact), but the connections the cast made over the show's 10 seasons will last a lifetime.

On Saturday, Lisa Kudrow and Kristin Davis reunited at a starry charity dinner hosted by the Human Rights Campaign at Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.

Both looked polished and lovely in white, with Kudrow opting for an elegant suit worn with a black top and a dangly diamond pendant, and Davis going more casual in a long-sleeve top, belted trousers, a diamond chain necklace, and aviator eyeglasses.

The two embraced and flashed wide smiles as they posed for photos.

Kudrow, of course, was one of the main cast members in Friends. She played Phoebe Buffay for the entire run of the cult-classic series. Davis, meanwhile, made a brief but memorable cameo in Season 7, Episode 7 of the show. The episode, titled "The One with Ross's Library Book," aired on November 16, 2000, and in it, Davis played Erin, a woman whom Joey Tribiani (Matt LeBlanc) dated briefly before she decided there was no spark and broke things off, leaving Joey—but mostly Rachel Green and Phoebe—disappointed.

Davis has spoken candidly about her time on Friends, revealing on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2021 that she actually auditioned for the role of Monica Geller (though Courteney Cox eventually got the part) long before she landed the iconic role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City.

She also spoke to the Today show about her short cameo in the sitcom: "I was nervous to be the tiny character of Erin, losing sleep, partly because of the live audience, but partly because you're in this world that has been created that is so alive and so specific and you're trying to make sure you're fitting yourself in there properly."

Before this weekend, the last time Kudrow and Davis publicly reunited was in December 2017, when they took the stage together at the Trevor Project's TrevorLIVE LA Gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. See the moment here:

TLC's Chilli is denying MAGA allegations following reports that she made a number of donations to Donald Trump's presidential campaign in 2024.

Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas sparked a pair of controversies over the weekend after Federal Election Commission records revealed that she donated more than $1000 to Republican fundraisers linked to Trump's 2024 re-election efforts.

Fans then turned to the singer's social media pages, where they noticed that she had reshared a video claiming that Michelle Obama was not born female and that the former first lady was once registered to vote as a man in the state of Illinois. These conspiracy theories, dubbed "transvestigations," are popular among extremist, right-wing online circles.

On Saturday, Chili uploaded a video statement explaining that the now-deleted Obama video was reshared to her page by accident.

"Let me say this first: I have the utmost respect and admiration for Michelle Obama, and I would never say or do anything that is disrespectful to her or to any woman," Thomas began in her video. "I would never do that. I had no clue that this repost had happened until I started getting phone calls and text messages from everybody, and I immediately went to my page to see what was going on."

She continued, "I'm not very computer-savvy, so I'm looking for this repost button, and I see that all of these buttons are very, very close to each other, and clearly I was scrolling and my thumb hit the repost button. Again, I had no clue that something like this happened until I got all the calls."

Chilli then pointed out that she has long supported the Obamas, including through donations to both of Barack Obama's presidential campaigns.

"I would never do anything that's harmful or hateful to anybody," she added. "I'm not wired like that."

Addressing the political donations in the video's caption, Chilli wrote that she thought she was donating funds that would benefit military veterans and help end human trafficking.

"I did not read the fine print," she said.

FEC records show that Thomas made three separate donations, reports *The Independent*: $210.60 to WinRed, the payment processor for Republican campaign donations; $340.60 to the Trump National Committee JFC; and $486.54 to Never Surrender Inc., a political fundraising group affiliated with Trump. The singer did not go into detail on how the mix-up occurred.

A spokesperson for Chilli told ** on Sunday that there were in fact 17 donations "made over time" after being "set up as automatic recurring contributions." They added that Thomas "has always led with heart, compassion, and a genuine desire to give back" and thought the donations "were directed toward causes she deeply believes in."

"It is unfortunate that her intentions are being misinterpreted," her representative continued. "Chilli has been clear in her personal statement. She does not align with MAGA ideology, nor does she support any policies rooted in harm or division. Her life and career have reflected the opposite — a commitment to uplifting women, leading with empathy, and using her voice for positive impact."

The "No Scrubs" singer echoed this sentiment in her video's caption, writing, "I am not MAGA and do not support any of the many policies that are causing great harm to the American people. I made a mistake too many make: I did not read the fine print. I thought I was supporting causes against human trafficking and for veterans. Two things I care deeply about, as my dad is a veteran, and everyone knows I love children. I have learned a valuable lesson and ask for grace as I navigate this."

Chilli's controversy comes just a week after she and TLC's other member, Tionne Tenese Watkins (a.k.a. T-Boz), announced that they were joining forces with Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue for their It's Iconic tour this summer.**

Capt. Olivia Benson is coming to Broadway.

After a certain boy wizard walks away from *Every Brilliant Thing*, Mariska Hargitay will be stepping in to make her Broadway debut. The *Law & Order: Special Victims Unit *star is set to replace Daniel Radcliffe in the acclaimed solo play, which opened to rave reviews earlier this month.

Radcliffe will play his final performance at the Hudson Theatre on May 24. Hargitay will begin two days later, with a run that has been extended to last through June 28.

Penned by Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe and directed by Jeremy Herrin, the emotional play follows a protagonist whose mother attempted to die by suicide. In an effort to cheer her up, they begin making a list of things that make life worth living. As the narrator grows up and battles depression, the list takes on new significance, growing longer as their worldview changes, and affirming the joy in life's smallest details becomes all the more important.

The play first premiered in the U.K. in 2013, and has since been performed in 66 countries and 44 languages.

The show famously involves a large amount of audience participation, with attendees being asked to step in as characters and shout out some of the "brilliant things" that will make the list.

"I read *Every Brilliant Thing* and cried, rejoiced, laughed, cried some more, and loved it so much," Hargitay said, addressing the upcoming role in a statement. "I'm always drawn to themes of healing and renewal, especially when the journey is rendered in all its complexity. It feels like an extraordinary gift to make my Broadway debut, the fulfillment of a lifelong dream, with a play that affirms life so emphatically."
