By DAVID BRUNAT and GRAHAM DUNBAR (Associated Press)MADRID (AP) — The leader of Spain’s soccer federation left a sour taste on the country’s Women’s World Cup victory after kissing a player on the lips during the medal ceremony, drawing criticism for inappropriate conduct in a sport that has struggled to overcome sexism.The Spanish government and the world players’ union condemned the behavior of Luis Rubiales on Monday, a day after Spain’s 1-0 win over England.

How many carries can McLaughlin take from Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine in the regular season?Gabriel: Even 10 days ago I would have pushed back against the “lock” designation with McLaughlin, but his push is undeniable at this point. He’s got juice. Whether it’s a seam between the tackles, turning up field after catching a screen or defeating pursuit angles on a 44-yard kick return against San Francisco, McLaughlin has speed the Broncos otherwise lack on offense. He’s not exactly a third-down back — he’s going to have ...
