The late-afternoon window on CBS features two games: Miami-Arizona and Pittsburgh-Dallas. The Steelers and Cowboys are a high-profile matchup of historic franchises, but Dallas isn’t holding up its end of the bargain in 2020. Regardless, that game will be viewed in nearly the entire nation while Tagovailoa and Murray show out in limited markets. It’ll be a chance for the Dolphins to move to 2-0 with Tagovailoa starting, while the 5-2 Cardinals are trying to stay within touching distance of the Seahawks in the NFC West....

It took advantage. "It was very important for our team not to play against Sunderland on Wednesday," Manuel Pellegrini said after this comprehensive 2-0 win. "I saw that the team was not fresh. That's why we were a little down in our performance against Chelsea and against Norwich. Today we saw again the team that was playing before the last two games." The goals were great, nobody played badly. In certain matches this season City has played well only in waves....

Dominic Thiem unsure about the need for a relief fund Earlier this week Dominic Thiem questioned Djokovic’s proposal, which has been supported by big names like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. The World No. 3 said that he does not believe all tennis players require funds at the moment, adding that he’d rather donate his money to other institutions. Thiem’s words did not rub off well on some fans, but he has managed to find a few supporters in the tennis community....

While Wilkins will sit courtside this time, 21 years ago, in 1993, he was in London to play preseason games with the Hawks. And in that trip, Wilkins took a photo in front of the Tower Bridge (via Hawksblog.com). Well, on this latest trip, Wilkins recreated the photo. Rocking the old school warmup, tossing a ball in the air, Wilkins snuck in the photo on Thursday morning after a rain-filled Wednesday....

A giveaway was posted on the Domino’s New Zealand Facebook page on Tuesday, for all women named “Karen.” Karen, if you’re not aware, is an insult aimed at self-entitled women who are always asking to speak to a manager. Though the exact origin of the term remains unclear, it has gained in popularity amid the coronavirus pandemic. The promotion, titled “Calling All (Nice) Karens,” featured a woman crossing her arms with a short blonde bob haircut and a smirk....

Hawks are pretty cool, for sure.

Whatever you call it, Ahern’s work certainly has marketing smarts. Since her first effort, “P.S. I Love You,” was published four years ago, her books have sold a total of 6 million copies in 46 countries. In addition, all have been optioned as films or TV series. “P.S. I Love You,” starring Hilary Swank as a young widow and Gerard Butler as the dead husband who sends her letters from beyond the grave, hit screens earlier this year, and her second book, “Where the Rainbow Ends,” written as a series of e-mails, instant messages and letters between two childhood friends who later fall in love, was optioned by a London film producer in February....

With mid-’70s records like ““Heart Like a Wheel’’ and ““Hasten Down the Wind,’’ Ronstadt redefined pop-country crossover for the soft-rock era. Twenty years later, with progeny like Mary Chapin Carpenter and Wynonna Judd perfecting her technique, it’s only natural that Ronstadt should step up and reclaim some turf. But there’s a glitch. She has taken frequent sabbaticals from the mainstream in recent years; since 1980 she’s released (among other things) a new-wave album, three pop standard albums, two traditional Mexican albums, a Latin album and a country-trio album with Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton – and she’s sung Gilbert and Sullivan and Mimi in ““La Boheme....

Which do you think hurt worse — Oklahoma’s blowout loss, or North Carolina’s heartbreaker? First, I must to disclose that I am a University of North Carolina basketball fan, so I understand. The gamut of emotions surrounding these types of victories begs the question, “Would you rather be blown out in a big game or lose on a last second play?” I have heard many Tar Heel fans say they would rather see North Carolina get blown out than blow a big lead or get beat at the buzzer....

With overtime looming on Saturday, James left the Raptors on the verge of elimination with a running one-hander that secured a 105-103 win and sent the Quicken Loans Arena wild. Taking possession in mid-court, James surged down the left before floating a two-pointer to seal a dramatic victory and leave him with 38 points for the night. His latest eye-catching moment is bound to inspire many to try and make a similar shot themselves, but that is not something the four-time MVP recommends....

Prepaying for College: New congressionally blessed tax breaks have almost every state in the country scrambling to set up prepaid-tuition programs that promise to beat college inflation. More than half a million kids are already enrolled. Good move? Maybe, if you’re rich or a passbook saver used to low-single-digit returns. These products will beat the banks and offer tax deferrals pleasing to top-bracketeers. But what about the rest of us?...

In a recording of the April 2018 dinner released by Parnas’ lawyer Joseph Bondy on Saturday, the Tampa Bay Times reported that the president is heard asking Parnas how then-GOP senate candidate Scott was doing ahead of the November midterms. The businessman indicted on campaign finance charges last year told Trump that he believed Scott had a good chance of winning, and claimed to be holding a fundraiser for the ex-Florida governor....

McConnell acknowledged Joe Biden as victorious over Trump on Tuesday, after the Electoral College electors cast their votes—with the Democrat securing 306, surpassing the 270 majority needed. Trump later dismissed the Kentucky senator’s comments, telling him it is “too soon to give up.” The president continues to dispute the election outcome, despite having failed to provide any evidence of fraud and irregularities on a level that would be sufficient to alter it....

The 2020 presidential election took place less than six months ago but speculation is already rife about the next one, with attention focused on who the GOP will choose as its candidate. Trump remains the frontrunner and there is continued speculation of a Pence run, but Scott’s standing has been boosted following his response to President Joe Biden’s first address to a joint session of Congress this week. Scott’s Republican colleagues have lavished praise on him, with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) suggesting he could be the future of the party....

Works by the son of Trump’s White House successor have fetched up to $75,000, The New York Post reported, and the George Bergès Gallery has said that other items from his oeuvre which it will showcase could sell for up to half a million dollars each. But Trump took a sarcastic tone in a statement untroubled by paragraph breaks, or many full stops, in which he said, “while I have never painted before, Hunter has inspired me to immediately begin painting....

Trump’s post amassed 12,000 likes since it was posted (as of this writing), with several of his supporters adding their own quips and one-liners to the conversation. In contrast, on Twitter, where Trump’s account had previously been suspended permanently, some users scoffed at his remarks, claiming that he is no different from Heard when it comes to falsehoods and displays of narcissism.

William Husel, 46, a former doctor at Mount Carmel West Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, was found not guilty on all counts of murder nearly two months after the trial began. Jurors also had the option to convict Husel with lesser charges of attempted murder but chose to acquit after six days of deliberation. Husel worked as a doctor in the intensive care unit (ICU) at Mount Carmel West. He was indicted in cases that involved at least 500 micrograms of the opioid painkiller fentanyl....

Dr. Robert Karas was commended for a “job well done” by Washington County Justice of the Peace Patrick Deakins during a resolution passing to the jail. The resolution states that Karas effectively treated the cases that emerged in the jail and experienced no deaths due out of 150 cases of COVID to his treatment, despite being investigated by the state medical board and sued by the Arkansas ACLU. “I don’t know the science behind COVID and I’m not so sure anybody does,” said Deakins during the resolution passing....

Fans and viewers who see Multiverse Of Madness will most likely have mixed reception due to the new formula the film took - taking cues from WandaVision and away from the “typical” Marvel and MCU formula. And even with this unique approach, some quotes from the film definitely stood out among the rest. This article contains spoilers for Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness! 10 “Your Sacrifice Is Greater Than Your Power” Upon reaching what seems to be the ancient Book of the Vishanti in the early parts of the film, Doctor Strange tries to subdue the monster but to no avail, having resorted to try and “absorb” the powers of the girl with him....
