LOS ANGELES (AP) — Two days after the PGA Tour and the Saudi Arabia sovereign wealth fund agreed to a partnership that ends all litigation, another lawsuit has been filed against LIV Golf and Phil Mickelson over a logo.Cool Brands Supply, an Argentine lifestyle and skateboard company, filed a trademark infringement lawsuit last Thursday that claims Mickelson’s “HyFlyers” logo used in LIV Golf is a knockoff of their Fallen Footwear logo.Both logos feature a pair of “Fs” facing in opposite directions.Mickelson is the team captain of HyFlyers, which includes Brendan Steele, Cameron Tringale and James Piot.The complain says Fallen Footwear has used the back-to-back Fs for a logo since 2003. It accuses LIV of using the logo on hats, shirts and sweatshirts sold as merchandise.“The similarities between the two marks, particularly when used on clothing, are striking, and are confusing consumers and causing damage to Plaintiff’s senior mark and brand,” Cool Brands Supply argue in the lawsuit...

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Florida Panthers took the ice for Monday’s practice without several key players, most notably Matthew Tkachuk.The Panthers also were seemingly without any concern as they prepare for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Vegas Golden Knights, down 3-1 in the series.“We haven’t been healthy all year,” said Florida forward Anthony Duclair, who left Game 4 briefly, and practiced Monday. “So I mean, to be honest, a lot of people have stepped up in the right moments all season long and done a great job and that’s why we’re here in this position right now.“We’re all very confident, and whoever is playing we know we got a lot of depth on this team, we got a lot of confidence. We showed that in the first round, and I think that’s definitely gonna help us confidence-wise going into tomorrow.”That was the common theme in the Panthers’ locker room after practice, hanging their hats on overcoming a 3-1 series deficit in the opening round against the Presidents’ ...

PARKER, Colo. (KDVR) — Constant rain is having an impact on streets and roads in the Denver metro area. The holes are so big in some places, drivers are having to find new temporary routes around them.Steady rain continues to fall south of Denver, and the abundance of moisture can be a problem. What is causing the recent sinkholes in Colorado? At one point on Monday, more pea-sized hail was falling in Elbert County.

In Littleton, crews were hoping a small sinkhole doesn’t grow. Sinkhole opens on Parker roadIn Parker, hail and fast-moving water turned a usually tranquil gulch into rushing water.

NORTON — Speaking under a bright sky with a touch of a warm breeze, Norton High track captain Jake Antosca fought back tears when he spoke of his former coach at the dedication of the Lancers’ track as the Kent A.

Mac Jones plays it safe, Jack Jones shines and more Patriots minicamp Day 1 takeaways

FOXBORO — Less than an hour before the Patriots opened their mandatory minicamp Monday, Bill Belichick described the upcoming three-day stretch as an extension of OTAs.Meaning the Organized Team Activities the Pats conducted over the previous month-plus featuring non-padded practices, team drills usually run at less than full speed and players mostly in attendance, but not always.Turns out, Belichick was right in every sense — for better and worse.Offensive tackle Trent Brown missed Monday’s practice after missing a flight, according to MassLive, while star free-agent addition JuJu Smith-Schuster remained sidelined as an injury precaution. Brown’s absence during the regular season would leave the Pats paper-thin at his position. But in a non-padded OTA — er, minicamp — practice, that doesn’t matter.Yet.What did matter was the timing and organization of the starting offense, which again leaned heavily on tight ends Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki. Both veterans caught...
