“You beat Auburn last year, didn’t you?” Spurrier said to Sumlin. “You need to go tell everyone you did.” MORE: Top 50 players | HAYES: SEC’s next feel-good superstar | Rejuvenated Spurrier Leave it to Spurrier, the coach who cuts through the nonsense better than any, to clear up a bizarre offseason anomaly: perception, everyone, still leads reality by a longshot. Case in point, the curious case of Auburn and Texas A&M....
Unlike paranoia, paranoid delusions become so fixed that nothing can convince someone what they think or believe is not true. Paranoid delusions are not classified as a distinct mental health disorder, rather, they are often a symptom of other mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, paranoid personality disorder, and delusional disorder. What Are Paranoid Delusions? Paranoid delusions are unfounded feelings that someone or some group is out to mistreat, harm, and sabotage you or someone close to you....
Chain-smoking Marlboros and pacing in his 10-foot-square cell last week, Joseph M. Giarratano was too anxious to eat the death-house lunch. His mind was on the electric chair in the room next door - and his appointment with it 82 hours hence. With court appeals exhausted, only Gov. L. Douglas Wilder could stop his execution. Giarratano remained hopeful despite the odds. He joked with Marie Deans, a paralegal/activist and his closest supporter for the last eight years....
The uplifting clip was shared to TikTok by the young child’s mother, Emma Cotton, who is the wife of Texas Rangers pitcher Jharel Cotton. Emma was attending the annual Texas Rangers Family Day at Globe Life Field on Sunday, with the couple’s 19-month-old daughter Zola, when the magical moment took place. Sat down in an area just off to the side of the field, Emma decided to treat Zola to a little bit of cotton candy while filming her reaction to the sweet treat....
Of course, a repeat scoreline would not be the worst result in the world for Barca given the importance of away goals, yet Luis Enrique’s side must attempt to go for the kill against a PSG team missing some big names. The French champions will be without Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marco Verratti, who are both suspended, while David Luiz is injured and Thiago Motta is a doubt. That is pretty much the spine of the side, although the return from injury of Lucas Moura will provide some width....
It reflects fundamental differences between American and European understandings of constitutional democracy. So argues Jed Rubenfeld in a mind-opening essay forthcoming in the Wilson Quarterly. Rubenfeld, a Yale Law School professor, wonders why America–which after 1945 was the principal progenitor of today’s system of international organizations and law, including the United Nations–has come to be regarded as hostile to that project. His answer is that Cold-War unity between America and Europe disguised what is now patent: diametrically opposed American and European views of the objectives of international law and organizations....
Except for the Sprint Cup championship — which has been won by the same driver in six of the past eight years — NASCAR is used to producing a wide variety of winners. Since the 2000 season, the Sprint Cup Series has averaged 15.7 different winners each season. By comparison, it averaged 11.6 winners per year from 1983-99, and just 7.9 from 1972-82. NASCAR believes it could produce the most winners ever this season with new Chase rules that place more emphasis on winning....
Published on Reddit’s r/AmITheA**hole forum, a partner under the anonymous username u/Few-Yogurtcloset8212 shared their story to get the opinions of the “AITA” followers. The popular post has over 4,000 upvotes and 3,000 comments. The original poster (OP) began their story by explaining that their husband, “Tom,” and his siblings, “Maggie” and “Daniel,” have been big fans of a particular rock band since they were teenagers. They would go to several shows around the country to see as many concerts as possible before the oldest brother, Daniel, went to boot camp....
The Germans had retreated west of the Elbe, and we hadn’t been engaged in any fighting for a few days. On the 25th the morning had been foggy and damp, but by 11 the sun had come out. We lay blankets out on the grass, and the soldiers from the two countries, U.S. and Soviet–about 30 from each side–separated by a language barrier, found our own ways to communicate. Mainly, we drank a lot of vodka....
That expansion brought more eyeballs as fans began to identify with their local clubs. That expansion brought international relevance as the league continued to take strides towards competing with its peers. And, perhaps most importantly, that expansion brought money. Lots of it. On Tuesday, that expansion period concluded, for a while at least. The league’s 30th team will settle in Charlotte, becoming the 20th club since 2005 to join MLS and the 14th new team to join the league since 2010....
In a post on Reddit’s popular r/AmITheA****** forum, user u/Salt-Explanation1365 took to the internet to ask if they were in the wrong for using the bathroom frequently on a flight. The Redditor explained: “Recently I flew home for the holidays. The flight was three hours long. I read that you dehydrate twice as fast on a plane as you do elsewhere, so I packed two 40 ounce water bottles and planned to drink both of them over the course of the flight (should note I’m a pretty big person and an athlete)....
Footage posted on social media shows water cascading down the ship from Deck 15, where the overflow took place, all the way down to Deck 8, where another swimming pool was located.

According to officials from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), station staff contacted the agency for help. Mat Hawkins, a London animal rescue officer collected the spider, later identified as a pink-toed tarantula, the afternoon of January 7. “Passengers got more than they bargained for when they spotted this little guy on the train,” Hawkins said in a release issued by the RSPCA. “He was shut inside a plastic tub so we believe he had been abandoned in the carriage....
In a letter to “supporters” of Boyd and Stephanie Householder, Jerry Pyle, pastor of the Bible Baptist Church of Vernon County, said the couple faced “false, demonic accusations,” according to the Kansas City Star. At a hearing on Thursday, a judge dropped one count against each of the Householders and if found guilty on the 100 other charges they face, the couple could spend decades in prison. The Householders were arrested in March after alumnae of the school spoke out on TikTok, a popular social media platform....
On Monday, YouTube issued what was initially thought to be a permanent ban on Right Wing Watch, a group that has shared potentially unflattering videos featuring Wiles multiple times over the years. During an appearance on his conspiracy news outlet TruNews, Wiles celebrated the ban while insisting that it was a form of divine retribution against Right Wing Watch. “Let me make this very clear today: Jesus Christ shut down Right Wing Watch,” Wiles said during the broadcast, prompting a chorus of “amens” from his two co-hosts....
Smith’s slight frame has been seen as a potential detriment at the next level, despite his history of consistent success with the Crimson Tide. Smith apparently feels he has nothing to prove as well, as multiple reports indicate he will only weigh in at Alabama’s pro day on Tuesday. He won’t participate in any on-field position drills. That’s likely to raise a few eyebrows among would-be scouts and armchair quarterbacks who wonder whether Smith has something to hide by not participating....
Researchers at Penn Medicine in Philadelphia found patients who shared the same racial or ethnic backgrounds as their physicians were more likely to give them the maximum patient rating score. The results may suggest how racial and ethnic similarities can affect patient-physician interactions. The study, published in JAMA Network Open, analyzed 17,589 Press Ganey Outpatient Medical Practice Surveys, which are patient reported questionnaires used by hospitals and medical practices across the country to improve patient care and help determine promotions for physicians....
Too bad for him and them, recovery from surgery on Kane’s left shoulder will take until late May. The rest of the 2014-15 NHL season and the first two rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs will be over before Kane is expected to return. “The timetable is still the same,” Kane told NHL.com on Sunday. “Whatever the doctor said, we’re still on that pace. For me right now, I’m just trying to work as hard as I can to get as healthy as possible....

Mahomes threw three touchdown passes with no interceptions, becoming the first player in NFL history to pull off the feat in three consecutive season openers, and finished with 211 passing yards and a quarterback rating of 90 after completing 24 of his 32 passes. It may have been a record-breaking night for Mahomes, but the reigning Super Bowl MVP had to work harder against a Houston defense that threw a whole new approach at him....
