FOOTBALL

NFL: Art McNally, the first on-field official inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, has died. He was 97.

His son, Tom McNally, said Monday that his father died of natural causes at a hospital in Newtown, Pennsylvania, near his longtime home.

McNally died less than five months after getting inducted into the Hall of Fame following more than a half-century working as an on-field official, the head of officiating for the NFL and an adviser to the league who is credited with modernizing the practice of how games are officiated.

HOCKEY

NHL: Ryan O’Reilly and Vladimir Tarasenko are the latest St. Louis Blues players to land on the injured list, though General Manager Doug Armstrong is not conceding this might not be the year for a team that was built to contend in the Western Conference.

The Blues put both their captain and their most prolific scoring winger on IR, less than a week after defenseman Torey Krug was ruled out for more than a month because of a lower-body injury. With O’Reilly missing the next six weeks because of a broken foot and Tarasenko the next four with a hand injury, big absences are piling up for St. Louis near the midway point of the season.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain pulled one back but Bryan Mbeumo killed off Liverpool as Brentford beat the visitors for the first time since 1938 in all competitions.

TENNIS

UNITED CUP: Rafael Nadal lost again at the United Cup mixed teams tournament in Sydney, chalking up Monday’s defeat to Alex De Minaur to rustiness.

The second-ranked Nadal lost to the Australian 3-6 6-1 7-5 after having been beaten by Britain’s Cameron Norrie in three sets.

ASB CLASSIC: Venus Williams beat qualifier Katie Volynets 7-6 (4) 6-2 in the first round at the ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand, for her first singles victory since Wimbledon in 2021.

She ended a nine-match losing streak on the WTA tour dating back two years. Her only singles victories in that time came at Grand Slam level, most recently in a first-round win at the All England Club in 2021. She was 0-4 in singles last year.
