House passage

The U.S. House passed the bill in July following a 267-157 bipartisan vote that got the backing of 47 Republican lawmakers.

So if one, or both, of those U.S. Supreme Court cases and the con stitutional protections they established were to be overturned, states could bar same-sex cou ples from marrying. But if that couple were to travel to a state with marriage equality, their home state would need to recognize the union.

equality bill on the floor rested with Republi cans, who need at least 10 of their members to support it for it to ad vance.“To downplay this is sue, to let it pass by, or to act as if we can put it off for another time is not the right thing to do,” Schumer said. “We should do it lationmarriagewillingpublicansthattremelyedoverturngoodhasbeforetheted“isafternoonaJustinSchumer’snow.”spokesmanGoodmansaidinstatementThursdaythatSchumer100percentcommittoholdingavoteonlegislationthisyearJusticeThomasachancetomakeonhisthreattoObergefell.”ThespokesmanaddthatSchumeris“exdisappointedtherearen’t10ReintheSenatetovoteyesonequalitylegisatthistime.”

The Kansas State Fair kicked off with a debate be tween two candidates for governor. During the debate Republican Derek Schmidt was asked if Kansas is bet ter off today than it was un der former Governor Sam Brownback. Schmidt refused to answer the question.

One summer during my college years, I had a roommate who suffered from suicidal thoughts. She’d attempted suicide before we met, and been hospitalized, but contin ued to struggle. Back in the late 80s, there was very little public un derstanding of mental health issues, and the stigma was even stron ger than it is today. Our other roommate and I didn’t know what to do, or where to turn.

However, we did one thing right: we re stricted access to lethal means. We secured the knives, and took con trol of her medications.

But the pandemic didn’t cause the Accordingproblem.toarecent re port from United WE, in 2019, Kansas women were less likely to be employed and more likely to be under employed or not part of the labor force at all.

MARVIN by Tom Armstrong

Dear Carolyn: I have been alienated from my daughter for 30 years. Her mother and I di vorced and I remarried. She was in her late teens and early 20s at the time. For a time she lived with me, my new wife and a stepsister. She was an absolute “queen,” thought we should defer to her every wish. No help around the house and no rent. I finally asked her to leave. It was either get her out of the house or lose my new wife.Later she married, and asked me to come to her wedding, but not bring my new wife. I told her, “Sorry I won’t be there.” She was an gry at me and still is, ac cording to her brother. I’ve just “written her off” but have been en couraged by a friend to try to reconnect. I think she has a grudge, like Hatfields and McCoys, and it would be useless to attempt reconcilia tion or, in the alterna tive, would open me up to more pain. I think she’s stuck in what hap pened 30 years back and

In fact, strength and conditioning coach Matt Gildersleeve got right to it addressing the team early in the week:Are you going to say “we’ve got it” and set your alarm clock later since beating West Virginia? Will you set it the same time as last week, ﬁguring “what we did last week will be good enough?” Or did you set it 15 minutes earlier now and ﬁgure, “what we did last week wasn’t good enough, and it ain’t going to beat Houston.”Fromthe reactions he saw, Gildersleeve reckoned a few recognized themselves and thought, “Whoa, I did set my alarm later.”

around at Kansas, that’s also been animated by the conviction and conﬁdence that comes with it.

A year ago with a game getting away from them, defensive coordinator Brian Borland said Wednesday, there “wasn’t any coming back.”But Kansas scored with 29 seconds left in the second quarter to cut the lead to 28-21, and KU bristled in overtime after allowing West Virginia to rally from a 42-31 deﬁcit in the ﬁnal minutes.“There were so many moments in that game that you very easily

That’s been engaged by the coaching staff, yes, but also because returning players yearned for structure and discipline.Since the day they arrived, Gildersleeve said, there has been a “phenomenal” embrace of a sweeping cultural shift.Even when many players didn’t quite understand why, most accepted the how … and have since come to put thoseCasetogether.inpoint: A year ago, running back Daniel Hishaw Jr. wondered why he needed to check off on his own that he had entered KU’s practice facility “even though there’s people who see you coming in the building, checking youNow,off.”he sees that There’sfaultthatsaid.glesonponents.leveldoesn’tprogramcialareandcometogether,”theaptandoffastocan’t“Everybodysisting,”badmatters.theycognizanttake:themiddlegradesyeardramaticallyonly”Gildersleevetrumoof,tentsecond-tiertop-billingcategorizedcallssuasion,”tionPowerPointentirecommitments)(includingattitudegradingpart“self-accountability,”asofanelaboratesystemaboutandbehavioracademicthattheteamseesinapresenta-everyweek.“Peer-Gildersleevethepointsystembytheofrelentless,ofconsis-andthebottomof,resistant.Thespec-ofthemeasures“absolute-believescorrelatesthefieldhaschangedfromaago;thetypicalmakingupthegroundthenarebottomscoresnow.Andmakenomis-Playersarequiteofwherestandandwhyit“Ifyou’reonthelist,it’scalledre-Hishawsaid.seesit.Youhide…Youwantgetoffitandbeseenreliable.”Misscheckingaboxthefield,Burtsaid,maybeyou’remoretomissacheckonfield.“Soitallcomesbackhesaid.Thatspeakstoawel-focusondetaildiscipline,whichparticularlycru-equalizersforathatsimplyhavethetalentofmostofitsop-“Trulythereisarea-whyforeverysin-thing,”Gildersleeve“There’snothingwejustdobyde-inthisprogram.nosuchthing

“There’s no gray; it’s all black and white, all pointed towards winning,” Burt said, later adding, “All the small details, all the small things, matter. And all of those lead up to victories.

In the wake of its exhilarating 55-42 overtime win at West Virginia last week, Kansas football is 2-0 for the ﬁrst time since 2011 and leads the nation in scoring (55.5) points a game.

In the bigger-picture sense of a program so long in distress, coaching resilience is one thing. But …

The win at West Virginia provided some great examples of that. KU trailed 14-0 in the first quarter and spent much of the first half down two touchdowns, with the defense flailing at the Mountaineers.

We’ll get back to the considerable matter of sustaining this trend after a decade-plus of alternately dormant and turbulent times in the program.Butat least right here, right now, entering its game at Houston (1-1) on Saturday, KU football somehow has morphed from ﬁnding a reason to believe to needing to reel in any inclination toward complacency.“It’sa nice thing to have it reversed,” sixthyear senior defensive lineman Sam Burt said with a laugh on Wednesday. “It’s a great thing, I’ll say that.”

The impact of that began showing up last season, including in KU’s overtime upset at Texas.

Before Álvarez-Golovkin III, remember boxing’s top trilogies

Before Álvarez and Golovkin settle the score, here’s a look at some of the greatest trilogies (or more) in the past half-century of boxing, in no particular order:

The gold standard of trilogies, both because of the ﬁghters involved and for the way they fought. Frazier won the ﬁrst meeting between two unbeaten heavyweight champions in 1971, one of the most anticipated events in sports history. Ali won the rematch by a narrow decision in 1974, and he also won the sensational third matchup — the Thrilla in Manila — when Frazier trainer Eddie Futch stopped the brutal bout after the 14th round.

up in hospital trauma units.

These two greats clearly brought out the best in each other. Duran won their initial bout in 1980, but Leonard dug deep to become a tougher, harder-hitting version of himself. He demonstrated it in the rematch when he forced Duran to turn his back and quit in the eighth round of the famed “No más” ﬁght. The third bout nine years later was an anticlimax, but Leonard cemented his superiority with a decision.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan MárquezManuel

By GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press

An underrated classic trilogy known only to true ﬁght fans. Harding

Israel Vázquez vs. Rafael Márquez

Morales won the all-action ﬁrst meeting in February 2000 by split decision, infuriating Barrera. Barrera won the more tactical second bout by unanimous decision, infuriating Morales. The third meeting in November 2004 was a razor-thin majority-decision victory for Barrera in another unforgettable slugfest.

Two gifted fighters from a rich era of heavyweight contenders met three times over three years. The first meeting in 1992 was an exemplary heavyweight bout, and Bowe rarely looked better than he did in his decision victory. Holyfield won a close majority decision in a rematch best known for James “Fan Man” Miller crashing his paraglider into the ring. The third meeting was brutal, with both fighters scoring a knockdown before Bowe became the first man to knock out Holyfield.

The first two fights of this trilogy have qualified for history. Álvarez and Golovkin fought to a contentious split draw in 2017 even though most ringside observers thought Golovkin deserved the victory. Álvarez handed Golovkin the only loss of his career in the 2018 rematch by a razor-thin majority decision that also infuriated Golovkin.“I’mglad we are fighting for a third time, because I want to leave no doubt about who is the best,” Álvarez said. “I know he feels the same way, and that’s what makes the best fights.”

Four years after Álvarez and Golovkin staged their second meeting, they’ll conclude their trilogy in Las Vegas on Saturday night. This high-level rivalry has a chance to join the best, even if it hasn’t featured the knockdowns and blood that characterize most of the others.

Another tetralogy between two Mexican super bantamweights still remembered fondly by anybody with a taste for heedless violence. Márquez broke Vázquez’s nose in the ﬁrst round of the ﬁrst meeting, and Vázquez

Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Erik Morales

This one was a tetralogy: The Filipino champion and his Mexican rival met four times over eight years. They fought to a draw in 2004 even though Pacquiao knocked down Márquez three times in the ﬁrst round. Pacquiao eked out a split decision when they met again in 2008, and Pacquiao’s majority-decision victory in the third match further infuriated Márquez. He ended the rivalry in December 2012 with a spectacular

became the ﬁrst Australian light heavyweight world champion by stopping Andries in the 12th round of a violent ﬁrst meeting in 1989, but the Brit stopped Harding to reclaim his belt a year later. Harding won the rubber match by majority decision in 1991 in yet another slugfest. This rivalry deserves more acclaim.

eventually quit on his stool. Vázquez won the rematch, stopping Márquez in another brutal fight. The third bout occurred less than a year after the first, and Vázquez won by a narrow split decision. Two exhausted, damaged fighters met a fourth time, and Márquez finished Vázquez.

Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder

Riddick Bowe vs. Evander Holyﬁeld

Jeff Harding vs. Dennis Andries

Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier

Two relentless brawlers with iron chins and inextinguishable wills created a classic rivalry. Their first brawl in May 2002 is still a sensationally barbaric chapter in boxing history and an all-time favorite fight among many fans. Ward won a close majority decision, and Gatti evened the series with a decision six months later. Ward claimed the bruising third bout by majority decision again, and both fighters ended

From Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier to Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, most of the great rivals in the sport’s recent history have engaged in at least three memorable bouts. Only the most compelling matchups can attract fans for three meetings, and the sagas often define the fighters’ careers.It’stough enough to make one bout between top boxers in this fractured promotional era. But when two elite fighters follow one compelling show with another, they’re sometimes rewarded with a chance at boxing immortality — and hopefully the riches that come with it.

Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Roberto Duran

The most recent trilogy on this list had a wealth of exciting moments between two heavyweights with sharply contrasting strengths and styles. Fury was on his way to a tactical victory in the first meeting in 2018 before Wilder flattened him in the 12th round. Fury improbably rose and survived to the bell for a split draw. Fury dominated the rematch, knocking down Wilder twice before it was stopped in the seventh. Wilder and Fury both scored knockdowns early in the third bout in October 2021, but Fury finished Wilder in the 11th.

Canelo Álvarez’s rivalry with Gennady Golovkin reaches the ultimate standard of modern boxing excellence this weekend when these vaunted ﬁghters complete a trilogy.

“It’s been a good overall day,” said Hamlin, who recovered from an equipment interference penalty — his 34th pit road infraction of the season — on Lap 27 under a competition caution. “Still frustrated about the first half of the race. We just aren’t executing all that well. …

“Yeah, it is what it is,” Harvick said. “We were racing to win anyway today, so that’s what we will do again next week.”

Joining Busch and Harvick in the bottom four are Austin Dillon (14th Sunday) and Chase Briscoe (13th).

Harvick wasn’t the only casualty of the first stage. Pole winner Tyler Reddick blew a right-rear tire while leading on Lap 65 and slammed into the outside wall in Turn 2. He brought his No. 8 Chevrolet to pit road, but attempts to repair the car proved futile, and Reddick was eliminated in 35th place.

Troubles continued for playoff drivers when Kyle Busch, whose team already had incurred two equipment interference penalties on pit road, spun off Turn 4 on Lap 137. Busch’s rightside tires went flat as he skidded toward the infield grass, and Busch lost a lap as he nursed his wounded car to pit road.

“When Kyle joined our team, the expectations were sky high from both inside and outside the organization. To say he’s exceeded them would be an understatement,” Rick Hendrick said. “Not only has Kyle proven himself as a champion driver, he’s performed at a championship level outside of the race car.
