Oklahoma quarterback Austin Kendall has entered the transfer portal, according to Eric Bailey of the Tulsa World, leaving open the possibility that he stays with the Sooners. But the move also gives him the option of transferring away from Norman. Kendall has graduated from Oklahoma and will have two years of graduate eligibility. He served as the backup to Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray last season.

It’s a brutal slog, with teams often forced to play in the harshest of conditions. Even for the liveliest of young players, it can present a real challenge. Imagine how it feels for the veterans. There’s a number of old heads slated to take part in yet another NFL postseason. Some are future Hall of Famers. Others have found ways to reinvent themselves, becoming gray-haired contributors even as their athleticism wanes....

Running in the fourth quarter, Fournette went to the left side of the line and had his facemask tugged on by a Rebels player. His fingers got so latched in there that Fournette’s facemask actually came loose from his helmet and partially detached. Ole Miss was flagged on the play. Fournette had to leave the game looking fairly silly as LSU won, 10-7.

The Don’t Worry Darling director, 38, and One Direction alum, 28, met on the set of the psychological thriller in September 2020 and have been romantically linked since January 2021, when they were spotted holding hands at a wedding.

The optimistic route: Matt Duchene, who splits time between center and left win and is better suited for the big ice than nearly anyone because of his speed, can step in for Tavares, who'd largely been on the wing himself despite typically playing center.

Jamaica-born Alex Wilson, who was scheduled to race in the 100m and 200m, was suspended in April by the Swiss anti-doping agency after testing positive to trenbolone—a banned steroid—in an out-of-competition test back in March. Wilson maintained he was clean and attributed the positive test to contaminated meat he ate in a Jamaican restaurant in the U.S. and successfully appealed the ban, which was lifted earlier this month by Swiss Olympic—the umbrella organization that covers Swiss sports and the Swiss Olympic Committee....

An Ohio teen who visited the center earlier this month died of primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), an infection caused by Naegleria Fowleri, an amoeba found in freshwater bodies of water during warm weather. The amoeba is harmless if swallowed, but it can travel up a person’s nose to the brain, where it destroys tissue. It is extremely rare — only 133 cases have been reported since 1962, according to the U....

And how did the young Canadians take the news? They shook hands with the winners, smiled big for the cameras and graciously accepted their silver medals. “We’re not bitter,” Sale said at a press conference two days later. “We’re so proud of what we’ve done.” Added Pelletier, “Our own gold medal is winning the hearts of everybody.” How very Canadian. But for better or for worse, that’s pretty much how we Canadians behave....

The Canadian kids looked more exhausted than elated this morning when their weeklong ordeal finally ended with a golden sunrise. The two had been in the Olympic Village when their agent, Craig Fenech, called and told them to get over to his hotel quickly. There were rumors that a belated victory was coming. But Pelletier said he wasn’t counting on anything. He recalled the synchronized swimming mess back in 1992 when a judge’s inadvertent scoring mistake screwed up the order of finish....

“Wow, you didn’t really say that, did you?” asked Deutsch. “Yes, that’s what Christianity is,” Coulter answered. Later in the program, Deutsch called Coulter “anti-Semitic,” and in the days that followed, the Anti-Defamation League condemned Coulter’s statement and the National Jewish Democratic Council called on news organizations to quit inviting Coulter on their programs. On the blogs, Christians alternately signaled their support of or opposition to Coulter’s statement with Bible verses and profanity....

The call — like many others that day — was perhaps a final opportunity to say the things not often said amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life but more than that, it was to deliver a final set of instructions between father and son. “I said my goodbyes and told my son he needed to look after his mom and sister-to-be…if I didn’t make it back home,” said O’Donnell....

Buyers wishing to use Western tanker insurance to transport Russian oil will have to attest that the cargo is priced at or below the $60 a barrel limit. Coming on top of the EU’s Dec. 5 ban on the purchase of Russian sea-born oil, the cap will (in theory) complicate Moscow’s ability to transport its crude to buyers around the world.
