ARLINGTON, Texas — CeeDee Lamb was unhappy about losing a ball in the sun on an incompletion that helped keep Dallas from scoring a go-ahead touchdown in the first half of a 34-6 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday. Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones was perturbed that the sun was brought up again as an issue in his $1.2 billion retractable roof stadium, which has glass doors on either end. AT&T Stadium has an unusual east-west alignment from end zone to end zone, as opposed to most venues being north-south. On clear days, the sun shines in the windows on the west side during the first half of games that kick off in the afternoon. Lamb, Dallas’ All-Pro receiver, was looking into the sun in the second quarter while open on a crossing route in the end zone when a th...

SEOUL, South Korea — As foreign governments prepare to deal with a second Trump administration, at least one key U.S. ally is hoping to make headway on the fairway. South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol “got out his golf clubs for the first time in eight years and resumed his golf practice” as he gets ready to meet President-elect Donald Trump in person, his office told NBC News on Monday.

For lawmakers, businesspeople and occasionally world leaders, getting out on the links has been an important way to get close to him. Yoon, whose approval rating hit a record low 17% last week, also convened an emergency economic and security meeting over the weekend in resp...

Jordan Chiles is doubling down on her efforts to reclaim her Olympic medal that was stripped after a controversial ruling saying, "that bronze medal was given to me in the right way." The 23-year-old gymnast told NBC’s “TODAY” show Monday how it had "honestly been a very difficult time" since the Olympics wrapped, as she and her lawyers have pursued legal avenues to have her medal officially returned.
