A swimmer at a Cape Cod beach died Saturday in what experts believe is the first fatal shark attack in Massachusetts in more than 80 years. The man was bitten about noon ET at Newcomb Hollow Beach, Wellfleet police said. Witnesses told responding officers that the victim and another man were boogie boarding 30 yards off the beach when the incident occurred. Arthur Medici, 26, of Revere, Massachusetts, was given first aid, including CPR, but died at Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis. His name was released by Cape and Islands Assistant District Attorney Tara Miltimore. Bunker Hill Community College released a statement saying Medici, an engineering transfer option major, was enrolled as a part-time student in the spring. Chris Hartsgrove, acting deputy chief of Cape Cod National Seashore, said the injuries appeared to be from a shark. The official cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner. Robert Bessler, a Wellfleet resident and surfer, told CNN that ...

GREEN BAY – Aaron Rodgers said a week ago that if you can play, and deal with pain, you should be out on the field. He backed that up again Sunday afternoon — with the aid of a brace on his left knee. But the Packers were given a gift of Vikings’ sloppiness to walk away without a loss in a 29-29 final at Lambeau Field. Vikings kicker Daniel Carlson missed three field goals — including two in overtime — allowing the Packers to swallow Mason Crosby’s own missed game-winner at the end of regulation. Games between good teams are decided by the smallest things and individual miscues by the Vikings on offense, defense and special teams led to big things for the Packers.

Defensively, allowing Aaron Rodgers to run for seven yards on a 3rd-and-7 led to a touchdown. Two roughing c...

Live blog by Bill Connelly Fourth Quarter 0:00 That’ll do it.  Dobbins  rips off a 17-yarder, then Ohio State takes a knee from there. The Buckeyes have survived.  OSU 40, TCU 28 . 2:37 And that’ll about do it. TCU moves the chains once, but with the clock ticking toward two minutes, Robinson has to get aggressive, and  Malik Harrison  picks off a pass at the TCU 40. He returns it to the 25, and Ohio State will run out the clock.  OSU 40, TCU 28 . 3:22 Up two possessions, Ohio State eats clock with perfection. Two Weber rushes move the chains once; then, when Weber loses yardage on first down, Haskins fires a dart to  Hill  for 14 yards and another first down. Two more Weber carries move the chains again as the clock moves under five minutes. TCU stiffens from there, as three Weber rushes gain just five yards. But the Buckeyes punts having eaten more than five minutes off the clock.  OSU 40, TCU 28 . 8:51 TCU’s receive...
