NFL: The Giants hired Laura Young as director of coaching operations. Young — who previously worked as the Bills’ player services coordinator — is believed to be the first woman to work on the coaching side for New York.

Soccer: USMNT defeated Honduras 3-0 in a key World Cup qualifier. The temperature in St. Paul at kickoff was 5 degrees Fahrenheit. 

NBA: The league unveiled a Kobe Bryant Trophy for this year’s All-Star MVP, along with rings for the game’s participants.
