As he did on Friday night, Walz praised his fellow Democrats for having the “courage” to keep fighting in a largely Republican state, where Democrats haven’t won a statewide election in about two decades and only hold one congressional seat — Clyburn’s.

“You’re talking about arguably the best kicker in the history of the game, and like we said, it’s multilayered. It’s complicated, but in the end, it all comes back to what you have to do to get ready for your team to play the first game,” Harbaugh added. “I think if you step back and take a look at all the issues and all the ramifications, you can understand that we’ve got to get our football team ready, and we’ve got to have a kicker ready to go. That was the move that we decided to make, so in that sense, it’s a football decision.”The Ravens drafted kicker Tyler Loop out of Arizona this offseason, and they also signed undrafted rookie kicker John Hoyland of Wyoming.

When the team moved on from Tucker, DeCosta released a statement citing “current roster” considerations as being part of the decision. Harbaugh is now suggesting that Tucker’s uncertain availability may have played a bigger role than his performance, which slipped noticeably for much of last season.“If it was just a black and white, simple thing, then it would be easy to understand, but I think anybody can look at the whole thing in perspective and say, ‘OK, we’ve got to have a kicker ready to go, and there’s a whole lot of moving parts of that deal,’” Harbaugh said. “It’s just the reality of it, and you’re faced with that.”Harbaugh also addressed another big issue from the past month — the loss of safety Ar’Darius Washington to a torn Achilles tendon.

“It was a clean tear, if you want to call it that, so it’s one of those ones that heals ... it’s the more quick-healing version,” Harbaugh said. “Ar’Darius tells me he’ll be back in November. He’s always been a quick healer. I’m looking at November, December in my mind, so yes, we’re counting on him being back.”RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Sam Reinhart, Niko Mikkola and A.J. Greer returned to Florida’s lineup

over the Carolina Hurricanes that sent the Panthers back to a third straight Stanley Cup Final.

The Panthers lost forward Eetu Luostarinen in the first period of this Eastern Conference final game, though coach Paul Maurice said afterward he expected him to be fine with time off coming before a Cup series against the Edmonton-Dallas winner.“Everyone who sets foot at the site, it’s almost like they sigh a breath of relief, and they say, ‘Oh, my gosh, it’s so peaceful and calm here.’”

At the Liljestrand House, people likewise come, fall in love, and want to help, says Kristi Cardozo, executive director. A donor sourced fabric to recover the midcentury sofas; a builder donated lumber to rebuild the deck, she says.To reach the house, visitors drive up the dark, narrow mountain road hemmed in on both sides by foliage, before arriving, slightly carsick, slightly confused, at the low-slung residence with a modest roofline.
