Born the son of a Dublin horse trainer in 1909, Bacon was sent packing by his family at 16, for having had sex with some of his father’s grooms. He went first to London, then to Berlin and Paris (where a Picasso exhibition inspired him to dabble in drawings and watercolors) and finally back to London. Bacon had a profitable flirtation with interior design, but in 1931 he gave it up for the chancy career of a self-taught painter....
O. J. Simpson lived in my hometown of Laguna Beach. Peter Ueberroth, who is now running for governor on the recall ticket, spoke at my high-school graduation. But it is my vicarious brush with Arnold Schwarzenegger that has prompted this reverie about my homeland. News flash: Arnold and I once shared the same pedicurist! Yes, Arnold is the ultimate metrosexual. He not only wrestles with his soul over bikini waxes–as he told Jay Leno and the world–but he also has a dilemma with his toenails....
Jackson took a scheduled vacation last week, instead of joining his new teammates for the start of offseason workouts. That rubbed some observers the wrong way, and may be why the Redskins tweeted a minute-long video Monday of several players in the weight room ... including their new wide receiver. Jackson also posted his new jersey hanging in his locker, on his Instagram account—a day after posting another photo of him arriving at what appears is Dulles Airport in suburban D....

During an interview with CBS This Morning, DeWine said “no, we do not” when asked whether Ohio had enough money to roll out a vaccine. “But we’re going to get it out one way or another. We have to do that,” DeWine added. “What we would like, of course, is a bill from Congress…. We really need that.” DeWine then insisted that Ohio will be able to distribute the vaccine even if Congress fails to pass another economic relief bill....

1. Bucky and the Buckeyes We kickstart your weekend with unbeaten Ohio State at Purdue. Why there, in that dead time slot of noon games against the hapless Boilermakers, you ask? Because it leads us into the more important and looming tentacle of the Ohio State season: the play of Wisconsin. While Ohio State is playing footsie with Purdue — a quick aside: the Buckeyes have lost the last two in West Lafayette — Wisconsin will be playing at Iowa at the same time....
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith told the Columbus Dispatch there are no plans to move the rivalry to a night game. “Dave Brandon, the athletic director at Michigan, and I constantly have conversations that that should not be a night game, and it will not be a night game,” Smith said. “It won’t be (at night) this year, nor in following years.” Score one for tradition. This might seem insignificant to outsiders — “Who cares what time they play?...

That impact can’t be understated. This was bigger than LSU’s Leonard Fournette or Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey sitting out last year, and it’s bigger than N.C. State’s Bradley Chubb or Florida State’s Derwin James sitting out this year, for one simple reason. This wasn’t the “Obscure Sponsor Bowl.” This was a New Year’s Day Six bowl, which the College Football Playoff era is trying to pump up as bigger than the rest in the four-team playoff era....
Game time is scheduled for 12 p.m. ET, and it will be televised on Fox. An appearance in the Big Ten championship game is on the line. Michigan (11-0) is looking for back-to-back wins against the Buckeyes for the first time since 1999-2000.

A win against the Spartans and some luck elsewhere, however, could vault Ohio State back into the discussion.
