The Duchess of Sussex once starred alongside Adams in the show that made her name before her marriage to Prince Harry. And he was a guest at her 2018 royal wedding, flying to Britain to join the royal family and showbiz elite at Windsor Castle. However, since then the two friends have exchanged gifts but spent little time in each other’s company, Adams said. In an Interview with the Radio Times, Adams added: “We’ve spoken and texted a couple of times, but Meghan’s life is incredibly full and she’s been navigating a lot....

Mahomes signed a gargantuan 10-year (!) extension with the Chiefs in July 2020, just the fourth year of his rookie contract. If he meets all the incentives of that deal, then it will net him roughly $503 million — the richest contract in American sports history and second internationally only to Lionel Messi’s four-year, $674 million contract with FC Barcelona. The deal will keep Mahomes in Kansas City through the 2031 season, when he will be 36....

Mahomes pointed the finger at himself following the loss. “Today it was probably me,’’ Mahomes said of the Chiefs’ offensive struggles, per ESPN. “I was just pressing a little bit too early in the game. We kind of got down and we were in that kind of mode [of] no-huddle, which you don’t want to be in in the NFL. You can execute a little bit but it’s hard to sustain drives....

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson are irrevocably linked in NFL history for being two of the most explosive young passers in the league that have revolutionized how the QB position is played. That’s only slightly hyperbolic: Mahomes, through just three years as Chiefs starter, is putting up numbers that no QB ever has as a passer. Jackson, entering Year 3 as starter, is a nightmare for defenses with his ridiculous ability to run....

He was whistled for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty with 7:19 to play in the third quarter, upset that the Patriots were using odd combinations — sending in four blockers, and using a fifth player who would check in as an ineligible receiver.

New England is doing it with offense, and as it got healthier during a bye, Tom Brady should have his full arsenal. Meanwhile, Carolina’s quiver is loaded with defensive playmakers.

Their latest such addition came on Thursday, when they claimed former Cardinals wide receiver MIchael Floyd off waivers. It had been a tumultuous week for Floyd, which started with his arrest on drunken driven charges and his coach in Arizona, Bruce Arians, having zero tolerance for his misstep. Now he’s with Bill Belichick in New England, or the league’s house of sudden reformation. The Patriots’ best reclamation case in point is running back LeGarette Blount (twice), who this year has rushed for a career-high 1,029 yards and 14 TDs at age 30....

Wideout Josh Gordon, who is dealing with knee and ankle problems, has been ruled out for the contest, according to NFL.com. The 28-year-old has tallied 20 receptions for 287 yards and a score in 2019 and the impact of his absence could be amplified by some other question marks on the offensive side of the ball. Tight ends Matt LaCosse (knee) and Ryan Izzo (concussion) have also been ruled out for Monday’s contest while receivers Julian Edelman (chest) and Phillip Dorsett (hamstring) have been limited at practice....

The Patriots announced Saturday that running back Rex Burkhead (foot) and safety Patrick Chung (heel) won’t make the trip because of injuries. Both were limited in practice this week and were listed as questionable as the weekend approached, and it appears they weren’t able to recover in time. Burkhead is in his third season with New England and has totaled 24 carries for 112 yards and a touchdown in 2019....

But Paul George is back and making his case. Through 11 games this season, after missing most of last year, the Pacers forward is averaging 24.5 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game — all career highs — while shooting over 41 percent from deep, and Indiana is revived and fun as a result.

Presidential pardons are only applicable to federal charges. Pardons on a state level must be granted by state pardon boards or a state governor. Receiving a pardon from Trump may not be enough to prevent other pardon recipients from being charged for offenses on a state level.

Manafort was charged with 16 felonies including mortgage fraud by the office of New York District Attorney Cyrus Vance in March 2019....

He also is more Magic/Bird than all but a small handful of U.S. players who’ve grown up in the game since those two started a failed revolution in the 80s, their pass-first team orientations supplanted by the glamour of Michael Jordan as the singular scoring star surrounded by a “supporting cast.” Simmons is 6-8, 225 pounds, and yet he often operated at point guard for the Each 1 Teach 1 in a comfortable victory over Chris Paul’s Team CP3 at the Peach Jam tournament Thursday night....
