SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -A prominent Silicon Valley financier has been accused of defrauding a bank to secure a $10 million loan that he used to buy an ownership stake in the NHL's Nashville Predators. William ``Boots'' Del Biaggio III was sued this week in Santa Clara County Superior Court by Modern Bank, a New York-based private bank that counts former NFL star Joe Montana as a vice chairman. It is the latest in a series of legal setbacks for Del Biaggio, the son of a well-known local banking family and co-fou |

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Detroit Red Wings have been through this before. They jump to big leads over teams that seem grossly overmatched, then find ways to let them back in the playoffs.
