Installing a roof water drainage system is not just a construction step—it is a long-term investment in the durability and safety of your home. Many homeowners underestimate its importance until problems such as leaks, dampness, or structural damage begin to appear. A well-planned drainage system ensures that rainwater is effectively channelled away, protecting both the roof and the...

Kevin Harvick remembered Kyle Busch as one of his fiercest competitors. And he also credited Busch, who died suddenly on Thursday at age 41, as one of the sports most influential figures. "NASCAR lost one of its true giants, whose impact is almost beyond measure," Harvick wrote in a post on social media. Harvick, now a FOX Sports analyst, and Busch had much in common, both growing up on the West Coast (Harvick in Bakersfield, Calif., and Busch in Las Vegas) and carrying the competitive desire that nothing else mattered but winning. The two nearly came to blows in a confrontation at Darlington Raceway in 2011. Harvick got out of his car after the race, went over to Buschs car and took a swing at the window net while Busch drove away and hit Harvicks car in the process. Busch and Harvick waged fierce battles over the years. Busch had to beat Harvick (as well as two other Champ 4 finalists) in both the 2015 and 2019 championship races, with Harvick finishing just 1.5 seconds behind Busch in 2015. They competed against each other over 20 Cup seasons. Busch sits ninth on the all-time wins list at 63; Harvick is 11th at 60. "Kyle Busch and I spent years pushing each other to the limit," Harvick wrote. "We raced hard, traded paint and fought for every inch because all either of us wanted to do was beat the other. "What people may not realize is how much that rivalry drove us both. Kyle made me better because you had to be at your absolute best to beat him. Over time, that fierce competition turned into a mutual respect." They both shared a passion for the sport that went beyond driving. Harvick and Busch both owned teams that raced in NASCARs national series. Kevins son, Keelan, is a few years older than Buschs son, Brexton. Both Keelan and Brexton are aspiring NASCAR drivers. "As our careers evolved, so did our conversations," Harvick wrote. "We talked over building race teams, life beyond the racetrack, and our families, especially raising young sons who want to be racers themselves." The NASCAR industry mourns the loss of Busch, who is survived by his wife, Samantha, and their children, Brexton and Lennix. "Im deeply saddened for Samantha, Brexton and Lennix," Harvick wrote. "Theres nothing that can replace a husband or a father."

Vehicles are parked in office building lots west of the former Arlington International Racecourse in Arlington Heights, Illinois, on April 21, 2026. The vacant land is the possible future site of a new stadium for the Chicago Bears. (John J. Kim/Chicago Tribune/Tribune News Service via Getty Images)On Thursday, the Chicago Bears issued a statement about their stadium plans. The Chicago Bears have exhausted every opportunity to stay in Chicago, which was our initial goal. There is not a viable site in the city. As a result, the only sites under consideration are in Arlington Heights and Hammond.Anyone else having dj vu? Team President Kevin Warren announced 9 months ago that Arlington Heights was the only Cook County location under consideration, so that initial goal of Chicago has been long gone.Theyve been flirting with Indiana since December, and a couple of days ago, it was reported that Hammond and Arlington Heights were the only two options on the table. That report promised thatan actual decision on new stadium planswould be revealedby late spring, early summer.Todays statement seems like a waste of time or a direct shot at the city of Chicago, who has been posturing through the media and making noise in Springfield for months. The city had to have known the Bears were leaving.Weve known for quite some time, too. How long have the Bears been fiddling around with building a new stadium?They signed the purchase agreement on the Arlington Park property three days after Justin Fields got his first professional start. The Bears should probably stop talking about the stadium until they have something worthwhile to say.

The Montreal Canadiens never flinched in winning two Game 7s on the road to reach the Eastern Conference Final. Opening on the road again was no different, even against a well-rested top seed that had yet to lose in the postseason.The Canadiens pounced for four first-period goals on slow-starting Carolina coming off the longest postseason break in more than a century and beat the Hurricanes 6-2 on Thursday night.We knew we could come in here and try to get off to a good start to the series, Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki said after a three-assist night. Were happy with the result, but theyre definitely going to be better than what they were tonight.Cole Caufield and Phillip Danault scored in the opening four minutes, Alexandre Texier followed four minutes later, and Ivan Demidov finished a breakaway for a shocking 4-1 lead midway through the opening period. That came against a team that hadn't allowed more than two goals in an 8-0 playoff start.Juraj Slafkovksy scored twice in the third period for Montreal, the second on a late empty-netter, while Jakub Dobes had 24 saves.Game 2 is Saturday night.The Hurricanes were the first team to sweep their first two playoff rounds since the NHL went to best-of-seven series in all four rounds in 1987. But that led to a lengthy break of 11 days, the longest rest for any team before starting the next playoff run since at least 1920, while waiting on the Canadiens to battle their way past Tampa Bay and Buffalo.That led to the rest-versus-rust discussion about the Hurricanes, along with how well the Canadiens would pivot from those to-the-limit wins.And outside of Seth Jarvis beating Dobes just 33 seconds in, the Canadiens answered that question resoundingly in those opening minutes to extend Carolina's misery in this round.I didnt think we were very sharp, to put it bluntly, Carolina coach Rod BrindAmour said. Our top guys had tough nights. Thats not going to work at this time of the year.Much of Carolinas success comes from pressuring opponents in the offensive zone and minimizing chances going the other way. But Montreal effectively moved the puck out of danger against Carolina's aggressive pressure early, setting up clean breakouts, open-ice space and multiple breakaway chances at Frederik Andersen.The execution was there right off the bat, Canadiens center Jake Evans said.Danault's goal was a full-speed breakaway right up the middle off a feed from Alexandre Carrier, while Demidov went forehand-backhand-forehand to beat Andersen for the 4-1 lead with 8:28 left in the first.Andersen was leading the postseason in goals-against average (1.12) and save percentage (.950), but finished with just 16 saves.Eric Robinson also scored for Carolina, which is in the Eastern final for the third time in four years and fourth time in the current eight-season playoff run under Rod Brind'Amour. But the Hurricanes are now 1-13 in those games, including sweeps against Boston in 2019 and Florida in 2023.Carolina's loss meant the two Stanley Cup favorites both lost the opener of the conference finals. Colorado lost at home to Vegas on Wednesday night.___AP NHL playoffs: https://apnews.com/hub/stanley-cup and https://apnews.com/hub/nhl
