MORE: How was this a penalty, NFL?! Beckham Jr. went into the locker room after trying to make a leaping catch. He caught two passes for 11 yards before his injury. Perhaps he’ll be ditching those “Kirby” themed cleats he was wearing prior to his injury. Beckham did later return to the game.
“Nothing is happening right now,” Thun said. “We exchanged proposals prior to the Olympics and we were significantly apart.” Bolland, who has played in 22 games this season because of an Achilles tendon injury, is reportedly looking for 6-8 years and $30-$40 million, which is, realistically, too much to pay a third-line center. It's tough to blame him for trying, though — look at how the Leafs have spoken of him throughout the season, up to and including his return in time for their free fall out of playoff position....

Who is Juve’s Player of the Season? Benatia initially moved to the Serie A champions on a temporary basis ahead of this season, and has since made 18 appearances across all competitions. He has agreed a deal until June 2020, with the fee to be paid to Bayern over two years. With Giorgio Chiellini, Andrea Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci forming Juve’s fearsome first-choice back three, Benatia has had to settle for a marginal role as the club fight for the treble of Serie A, Coppa Italia and Champions League....
The role that the armed forces play is particularly complex because the White House has failed to consult with the city government, resulting in the creation of two separate task forces, one under the DC National Guard and other under the Pentagon. Further, who actually commands the National Guard task force—and who provides direction to thousands of additional civilian federal law enforcement officers that have also been sent into the streets of Washington—remains unclear....
The lawsuit alleges that Columbus’ police response to the protests in late May featured under-trained personnel, violated protestors’ constitutional rights and caused physical harm to demonstrators because of gross negligence. The filing described clashes with police in which demonstrators were beaten, fired on with wooden and rubber bullets and unlawfully arrested.

On Wednesday, Trump and other Republicans criticized Goodyear after a photo of a slide supposedly used in a company diversity training session began circulating on the internet....
Gibbs, a Republican, has been a representative for the state since 2011. According to Cleveland.com, the district Gibbs represents was largely rural but was changed this year to include several western Cleveland suburbs, with only about 12 percent of his old district still part of the new one. Gibbs is not the only U.S. lawmaker who has decided to retire amid dramatic redistricting changes resulting from the 2020 Census. Earlier this year, Representative Jim Cooper of Tennessee announced he would not seek reelection after Nashville was divided into three districts....
