Pope, upon doctor’s advice, to skip Sunday public blessing; surgeon says recovery absolutely normal

ROME (AP) — Pope Francis, following doctors’ advice, will skip Sunday’s customary public blessing to allow him to better heal after abdominal surgery earlier this week, his surgeon told reporters.Sergio Alfieri, who operated on the pontiff, also told reporters at Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome that blood and imaging tests indicate that the 86-year-old pope’s recovery is proceeding in an “absolutely normal” manner. The three-hour-long operation on Wednesday under general anesthesia removed increasingly painful scarring that resulted from previous abdominal surgeries as well as repairing a hernia in the abdominal wall, with the insertion of a prosthetic support netting.Alfieri said while Francis’ recovery has been medically uneventful, any extra physical exertion, like moving to an armchair to recite the traditional Sunday noon blessing and commentary to the public via a video hookup, could be risky at this point.“In the next few days, if he’s not careful about hea...

ISTANBUL (AP) — A global audience of 450 million viewers is expected to watch at least some part of the Champions League final between Manchester City and Inter Milan on Saturday, UEFA has estimated.The live, minute-by-minute average audience — a longtime gold standard in the broadcasting industry — of about 150 million is expected for the game in Istanbul that is being shown in more than 200 territories worldwide, UEFA said. It includes verified and estimated in-home TV viewers, fans streaming the game plus those watching in bars, restaurants and fan parks.That 150 million figure is lower than the Champions League record 184 million average audience set by the 2014 final when Real Madrid beat city rival Atlético Madrid 4-1 after extra time.The lower audience rating in 2023 reflects changing viewing habits and the absence of Real Madrid, which has a long-established global fan base.Madrid’s 1-0 victory over Liverpool one year ago had an average audience of 166 million, according to ...

Marcus Stroman continues to show he’s one of the best pitchers in MLB. Soon, the Chicago Cubs will face a tough decision.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:38:32 GMT

Every start Marcus Stroman makes further complicates a tough decision that awaits the Chicago Cubs next month.The Cubs ended their four-game losing streak Friday night against the San Francisco Giants with a 3-2 victory behind Stroman’s major-league best 12th quality start and Nico Hoerner’s clutch two-run single off the bench in the seventh.“He knows what he wants to do, doesn’t give in, stubborn to what he does well,” manager David Ross said of Stroman. "Every time he takes the bump, and even in the big moments when he knows we need a ‘W,’ he’s really calm out there and continues to perform.”Stroman’s consistency goes back to last season. In his last 21 starts, dating to Aug. 30, the right-hander has allowed two runs or fewer in 17 of his those outings, owning a 2.33 ERA for the lowest ERA in the majors in that span (min. 20 starts).He went 22 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run, which ended in the thi...
