The Dodgers announced that Roberts, 43, had signed a three-year contract with a team option for a fourth year, but he doesn’t plan to speak publicly until his introductory news conference next Tuesday. But opinions about the new skipper show he already has key support inside the franchise and clubhouse and outside, too. A sampling: First baseman and former Padres teammate Adrian Gonzalez (via the Los Angeles Times): “He’s a guy that has played all kinds of roles,” Gonzalez said....

But as good as their batsmen were, India hardly ever had the bowling might to back them up, at-least in non-subcontinental conditions. Yes, India traditionally boasted of a strong spin attack, especially in sub-continental conditions and even in the pace bowling department they did produce wonders like Zaheer Khan, Javagal Srinath, Irfan Pathan and others. However, India never had an entire attack that could take 20 wickets every game and force results and victories on their own, especially in conditions alien to them....

One would be led to believe that, in a perfect world, the Bears coach would have much preferred to ride out the rest of the season with backup Brian Hoyer under center. But a broken left forearm curtailed Hoyer’s surprise success, so it’s back to Cutler for the foreseeable future, beginning Monday night against the first-place Vikings. Asked Tuesday by reporters if he felt he has Fox’s support, Cutler put it bluntly....

Dog owner Jennifer McKinlay was walking her two dogs, Alcott and Kora, on September 2, 2022, in High Park, near the home she shares with her partner in Toronto, Canada. What started off as an ordinary dog walk quickly transpired into a day McKinlay will never forget as Alcott, a Brussels griffon, was attacked by a female mixed-breed dog they encountered. The dog mauled Alcott and tore both his eyes out before being pulled away by her devastated owner, who apologized profusely....

The owner added the following words to the viral clip: “the moment she let me know it was her time.” The old dog was filmed while she attempted to get up a step but sadly fell to the ground leaving the internet in tears. The video captioned: “I will never, ever forget the defeat in my sweet girl’s eyes this day. Something that has always been so easy, was suddenly impossible....

The adorable clip, shared by user pb_and_j96, shows a dog being served his food with a sprinkling of freshly grated cheese on top. The text overlaying the video read: “When your Italian mom spoiled your dog and now he only eats his food with Parmesan.” The video has racked up 1.8 million views and more than 120,000 likes since it was posted on Saturday. Hundreds of comments have been left on the clip too, with one viewer writing: “That’s all he wants....

Children have been identified as the “most common victims” of dog bites by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). About 26 percent of the children who are bitten by dogs require treatment in an emergency room, according to CDC data cited by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, with an estimated 2,400 dog attacks occurring every day. In Baytown, a city east of Houston, police said in a Wednesday press release that officers received reports about a dog fight at about 7:40 a....

COVID-19 sequestered people indoors in 2020, leading to an influx in pet adoptions that emptied out shelters across the country and kept business booming for breeders, some of which ship their puppies to the U.S. from overseas. A spike in the number of puppies turned away because they weren’t old enough for vaccines prompted the ban, which goes into effect July 14, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement....

The team said Friday it also interviewed Arizona Cardinals vice president of player personnel Jason Licht and Dolphins assistant general manager Brian Gaine. All are candidates to replace Jeff Ireland, who left Wednesday after six seasons. Former Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and Eagles quarterbacks coach Bill Lazor have interviewed for the job of offensive coordinator. Both are candidates to replace Mike Sherman, fired Monday after two seasons with Miami....

The Broncos’ seven points scored were their lowest in the Manning era. Manning has thrown six interceptions over his past three games. It should be noted, however, that Denver is 8-0 ATS in their last eight games following an ATS loss. The Dolphins have won and covered four of five, the exception a 20-16 loss at Detroit as 3-point dogs. In that five-game stretch, Miami has allowed 11.2 points per contest....

“For the last few seasons, it was always going to be a matter of when than if when it came to retirement. I think it’s the best time for me to let the younger generation of Madhya Pradesh cricketers take over and also focus on coaching promising cricketers,” he told The Hindu. The 41-year-old has scored 10,004 in FC cricket at an impressive batting average of 43.68. He also has 26 centuries and 54 half-centuries to his name....

MORE: Get the latest NFL odds & betting advice at Sportsbook Review Dominick Reyes The UFC’s Light Heavyweight division has been under scrutiny in recent years. A division once lacking depth and serious contenders has seen a recent wave of elite athletes displaying their skills inside the UFC octagon. That directs us straight towards the 29-year-old from California, USA, ‘Dominick Reyes’. Reyes took up sporting activities from an early age; much like his peers, a dream of playing in the National Football League (NFL) was all that mattered....

On Tuesday, a clip of an interview Lemon conducted on the day of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral went viral on Twitter. Many right-leaning users praised his guest, royal commentator Hilary Fordwich, for her response to the subject of restitution. Lemon first cited England’s cost-of-living crisis before bringing up those who’ve been calling for reparations because of the country’s history of colonialism. “Some people want to be paid back, and members of the public are wondering: ‘Why are we suffering when you have all of this vast wealth?...

That's the conclusion I've come to heading into the NFL Draft and watching the scrutiny of former 2012 sophomore sensations Jadeveon Clowney, Teddy Bridgewater and Marqise Lee increase while their draft stock slips and, in the case of Bridgewater, supposedly plummets. For me it is very simple; as soon as a rule adversely affects a young man's ability to provide a living for his family I've got a problem with it....

Now, I am not about to distill the Clinton plan into 1,000 words or argue that the health-care debate is utterly simple. But I will dispute the growing feeling of resignation that “only the experts can understand this.” It’s both wrong and dangerous. It is wrong because health care is such a vast subject that even the best-informed experts have huge gaps in knowledge. It is dangerous because the impending debate can succeed only if guided by common-sense assumptions that everyone can grasp....

The U.S. is done for a variety of reasons. Most of all, though, they chose physicality over skill, and it did not work. MORE: World Cup rosters So, Canada beat them, because they were always going to. A few days before that, a hodgepodge of European players beat them first, because that always seemed possible too. The death knell was on Tuesday, though, when Canada erased a 1-0 U.S. lead in seconds and won a 4-2 game that wasn’t as close as it sounded....

Part of what’s right about opera today is Hampson, one of the best of a bumper crop of smart young singing actors, including Sweden’s Anne Sofie von Otter and Americans Renee Fleming and Dolora Zajick. He has a beautiful, lyric baritone voice, smooth and supple. It’s not a huge, dark instrument suitable for the meaty Verdi and Wagner roles, but he manipulates it, reduces or expands its size, with remarkable expressiveness....
