Jim Larrañaga steps down at Miami, Bill Courtney takes over to finish season CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Jim Larrañaga has stepped down as Miami’s men’s basketball coach effective immediately.

The now-former coach says he loves the university but believes it's the right time to step away. Larrañaga says "I’ve tried every which way to keep this going.” Larrañaga joins a long line of prominent college basketball coaches who have left their jobs in recent years citing the changes in the game and the challenge of coaching in the name, image and likeness era. Cowboys shutting down CeeDee Lamb with 2 games to go over receiver's shoulder issue FRISCO, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys are shutting down CeeDee Lamb with two games remaining after their 2023 All-Pro receiver spent the second half of the season dealing with a sprained right shoulder. The team says additional exams revealed enough damage to keep Lamb off the field Sunday at Philadelphia and in the final game at home against Washington. The team says surgery isn't expected to be required. Dallas was eliminated from playoff contention a few hours before last weekend’s 26-24 victory over Tampa Bay.

(AP) — If Jimmy Butler wants a trade, the Miami Heat have no plans to make him happy. Heat President Pat Riley — in a rare move — spoke out to address rumors Thursday, saying the team has no plans to trade Butler. It’s a clear sign that, if necessary, the team will be willing to let Butler leave as a free agent and get nothing in return. Riley says in a release distributed by the team "we usually don’t comment on rumors, but all this speculation has become a distraction to the team and is not fair to the players and coaches.” Penn State offensive coordinator Kotelnicki's creativity has the Nittany Lions humming in the CFP Penn State's offense is thriving under first-year offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki.

Haaland penalty failure and Fernandes red card pile on woes for City and United in Premier League Erling Haaland’s failure from the penalty spot and Bruno Fernandes’ latest red card have compounded the woes of Manchester City and Manchester United on another tough day for the two Premier League giants.

The defending champions have only won one of its last 13 games in all competitions. City is languishing in seventh place while United is 14th after a 2-0 loss at Wolverhampton.

Controversial MAFS 'villain' tipped to join I'm A Celebrity 2025: 'Infuriate people'I'm a nutritionist - this is how to make a Sunday roast indulgent AND healthy A senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation has revealed some helpful tips READ MORE: Heston Blumenthal launches a new Sunday roast where customers have to 'reserve a potato' By ZAC CAMPBELL Published: 13:17, 7 December 2024 | Updated: 13:17, 7 December 2024 e-mail 4 View comments A heartwarming British classic that makes for the perfect comfort food, a Sunday roast is the go-to meal of choice for many during winter. While there is a constant debate to be had over which part of a roast is the best - be it the gooey cauliflower cheese, crispy potatoes with a soft centre or the satisfying crunch of a Yorkshire pudding - there is also a worry that comes with consuming these items. How can you fit all the best bits of a roast onto a plate and make it healthy? Fortunately for anyone with such a concern, Tracy Parker, senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, has revealed to The Independent some helpful tips to maintain the indulgence of a roast. Read on below for her healthiest swaps to help you enjoy the much-loved dish without having to worry about piling on the pounds. Use leaner sources of protein For anyone who favours beef or lamb as their protein of choice for a Sunday roast, opting for leaner options such as turkey and chicken can help to make a big difference. This is due to the latter's lower fat content, with a typical 140g serving of whole roasted chicken containing around 335 calories, 19 grams of total fat and 38 grams of protein. Conversely, the same quantity of roast beef contains around 25 per cent more fat per serving. For anyone who follows a plant-based diet, Tracy advises a nut roast or celeriac wellington as they are lower in saturated fat.

As an alternative to high-fat ingredients such as butter or lard, Tracy says you should brush them with olive or rapeseed oil. She adds that you can cut them into large chunks - as this process absorbs less fat while still delivering that ultimate satisfying crunch. Veggie glow-up Instead of using liberal amounts of fat to give your vegetables added flavour, Tracy suggests roasting carrots with cumin and honey or tossing parsnips and sweet potatoes with nutmeg as a means of adding sweetness (stock photo) While the assortment of vegetables often included in a Sunday roast - such as peas, carrots and parsnips - the amount of butter you use to cook them can impact their healthy benefits. Instead of using liberal amounts of fat to give your vegetables added flavour, Tracy suggests roasting carrots with cumin and honey or tossing parsnips and sweet potatoes with nutmeg as a means of adding sweetness. She also says that you can steam green vegetables and finish them with fresh herbs instead of butter for a lighter flavour. Smarter stuffing As with other processed foods, pre-mixed stuffing that comes in a packet may be convenient but is high in salt and fat. As a result, the nutritionist advises using whole grains, such as bulgur wheat or quinoa in a homemade stuffing mix for an added source of fibre. She added that chopped nuts, dried cranberries and herbs can be used to boost texture and flavour - eliminating the need for any extra fat or salt. Speaking to The Independent, she said: 'A roast dinner lends itself well to a plate of equal thirds carbohydrates, vegetables and, done right, can give a healthy balance for a great meal. 'Making a few simple swaps can help reduce the impact on your heart health. And during the winter and festive season, when we often have more roasts than usual, those swaps can really make a difference.'
