Oks Promises A Completely Different Malaysia Against Thailand

Despite having guided his Malaysia U22 charges to a 1-0 SEA Games men’s football semi-final win over archrivals Indonesia U22 on Saturday, Young Tigers head coach Datuk Ong Kim Swee wants to stay focused on the task at hand. At the Shah Alam Stadium, Thanabalan Nadarajah headed in the only goal of the match from a corner kick three minutes from time, to set a final encounter against Thailand, who earlier defeated Myanmar in the other semi-final tie also with a 1-0 scoreline, on Tuesday....

Old Jokes Aside Jay Cutler Is Getting Last Laugh With Dolphins

But make no mistake: Miami is not Chicago, and this Jay Cutler is not that Jay Cutler. Well, he kind of is, because he’s playing for Adam Gase again. But that’s the only similarity. Cutler was paid well as a suddenly-wanted quarterback to elevate a playoff team. His situation with the Dolphins is a lot different than being a lame duck with little support on a lost Bears team....

Ole Miss Objects To Shea Patterson S Waiver Appeal At Michigan

CBS Sports reports that Ole Miss, from which Patterson transferred, has formally objected to the transfer’s assessment of events that led to his transfer from the program.

MORE: Ole Miss names Matt Luke head coach Ole Miss’ objections stem from Patterson claiming that Rebels football coaches misled him and other players about the scope and severity of the NCAA’s investigation into the program, which concluded with a two-year bowl ban and loss of 11 scholarships over four years....

Ole Miss Qb Chad Kelly Done For Season With Torn Acl Meniscus

Kelly exited in the third quarter of Saturday’s 37-27 win over Georgia Southern. An MRI conducted Sunday afternoon determined he will need to undergo season-ending surgery this week. Kelly, the nephew of Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, was widely hailed as the top senior quarterback available in this spring’s NFL Draft. The 22-year-old opted to forgo a professional career last season after leading the Rebels to a Sugar Bowl victory in an effort to build off his 4,042 yards passing and 31 touchdowns in 2015 and pad his draft stock, but Ole Miss (4-5) has fallen well short of expectations....

“The IOC and the organizing committee are not considering cancellation or postponement—absolutely not at all,” said Seiko Hashimoto, a former Olympic bronze medalist and Japan’s Olympic minister. Hashimoto’s comments came just days after Trump said he thinks the committee should consider postponing the 2020 Olympics because of the coronavirus outbreak. “I just can’t see having no people there. In other words, not allowing people,” Trump said Thursday at the White House....

On Refugees Being Better Than Trump Isn T Good Enough Opinion

Two years ago today, that reputation was in tatters. The U.S. ended fiscal year 2020 welcoming just 11,814 refugees. Our refugee resettlement program was greatly damaged by the intentional policies of the Trump administration, then almost entirely shuttered by COVID. I know many of us felt hope when then-presidential candidate Joe Biden marked World Refugee Day 2020 by promising, if elected, to set an annual refugee ceiling of 125,000....

On The Cusp Of A Crusade

Some of the ideas of recent days are useful; some–like arming teachers–are dangerous. But at least America is finally paying attention. The hard truth about social movements in this country is that they don’t gather strength until the comfortable white middle class is engaged. When white civil-rights workers were beaten and killed in 1964, the civil-rights movement moved to a new level. When college students began to be drafted, the Vietnam antiwar movement ignited....

Once A Cheater Always A Cheater Is There Truth To This Cliche

None of the reasons for an affair excuse the betrayal. Everyone is responsible for their own actions—and that’s good news. That means that no cheater is “doomed” to cheat again just because they cheated in the past. Change is always possible! Infidelity may look different to different couples, but essentially, cheating constitutes romantic or sexual activity with another person that your partner doesn’t consent to. Because cheating can look different to different people, all couples should make sure early in their relationship that they’re on the same page regarding what “infidelity” is....
