just now (133+ words) Nothing is coming easy for Arne Slot and Liverpool right now, so perhaps it's fitting that the Reds' win over West Ham on Sunday was a bit laborious before the breakthrough. The Reds looked snake bit in front of goal during the first half in London, and perhaps that allowed West Ham's confidence to grow into the second frame. But Alexander Isak finished off a fine team move begun by Florian Wirtz and Cody Gakpo, a fine shot putting the Reds in front around the hour mark. Liverpool, however, could not find the second goal until stoppage time when Gakpo finally provided some comfort in the result. Any win, however, is bound to provide relief.

After the game, Belichick seemed to be a little salty, even in comparison to his usual press conference demeanor. Here's the full session, all four minutes of it. The first question focused on whether there were any common themes from three straight losses to end the season. Belichick's response was brief and unintelligible. Later, Belichick was asked about the things that made his first season at UNC a challenge. "We'll take a look at the season later," Belichick said. "Just finished with the game ten minutes ago, so." Later, a simple and fair question: "What did this season teach you, Coach?" "Yeah, we just got done with the game, OK?" Belichick said. "So . . . yeah, so we're not gonna do a season recap....
