Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:57:03 GMT

English Premier League spending was hurtling toward a staggering $3 billion in a record outlay during European soccer’s summer transfer window on Friday.Manchester City and — of course — Chelsea were among those making moves on a typically frantic deadline day.Chelsea was leading the unprecedented splurge, with the arrival of 21-year-old winger Cole Palmer from City for 40 million pounds ($50.7 million) taking the west London club’s spending in this window to around $500 million.In the three transfer windows under its new American ownership fronted by Todd Boehly, Chelsea has spent about $1.15 billion on players mostly signed up on long contracts in an innovative way to spread “amortization” costs of transfer fees.By comparison, the $260 million outlay by City, the English and European champion, looks modest.

Column: As Georgia goes for a three-peat, those who’ve done it before provide perspective

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:57:03 GMT

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — When Larry Farmer walked into UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion for the first time, his gaze quickly turned toward the rafters.It was impossible to miss all those championship banners.“I immediately knew that was the standard,” Farmer recalled Friday. “It was right there in plain sight. Second or third wasn’t really the goal.”As Georgia begins its quest for an unprecedented three-peat in college football, those who have been there before can provide some helpful perspective on what it takes to keep winning titles year after year after year.Farmer is one of those, claiming championships during all three of his varsity seasons at UCLA.
