BERLIN (AP) — Harry Kane scored one goal and set up another on his Bundesliga debut as Bayern Munich routed Werder Bremen 4-0 in the opening game of the season on Friday.Kane, who finally completed his protracted transfer from Tottenham the previous weekend, showed straight away why Bayern reportedly paid more than 100 million euros ($110 million) for the forward.Kane needed only three minutes to set Leroy Sané free for the opener, before he finally beat Bremen’s Jiří Pavlenka with a low shot in the 74th. A Bremen defender’s studs deflected the shot slightly inside the left post.The England captain went off shortly afterward with what looked like a cramp, one of three late changes by Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel.Substitute Thomas Müller set up Sané for the third goal in the final minute then Alphonso Davies set up Mathys Tel to complete the scoring in injury time.But it started with Kane dinking a clever ball forward into space from inside his own half to set Sané free to open the sco...

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers has been the primary attraction at New York Jets camp this summer.Fans and media — and the “Hard Knocks” film crew — have flocked to the team’s facility during the past month to watch the four-time NFL MVP work with his new wide receivers, tight ends and running backs. And things have gone rather smoothly.Except for the big boys up front.The Jets’ offensive line has struggled with consistency and injuries during camp, to the point it’s still mostly uncertain who’ll be blocking in front of Rodgers when the regular season kicks off against Buffalo on Sept. 11 in front of a national audience.“It’s a work in progress,” Rodgers said this week.That’s putting it lightly.Heading into the Jets’ third preseason game Saturday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there are question marks at almost every spot on the offensive line.“It’s just becoming a unit,” coach Robert Saleh said. “I don’t think anyone in here is panicked.”But Saleh was s...
