That includes the Chicago Bears. I know, I know. These are the same Bears fielding a rookie quarterback — Mitchell Trubisky — who is on just his 16th start between college and the NFL combined. The same Bears fielding an injury-ravaged wide receiver unit that has produced only 45 catches in six games. The same Bears that are 11-27 since John Fox became head coach in 2015.

As one can imagine, the organization was not thrilled at all that Marshall went at length to voice his opinion regarding a wide variety of sensitive subjects. MORE: Dwyer allegedly broke wife’s nose | “The Daily Show” rips NFL | Peterson’s mom defends him A day prior, Marshall took to Twitter to voice his outrage towards ESPN for misleading him during an interview he conducted for a “E:60” story involving his past history with domestic violence....
And they have a little wind in their sails. The Bears’ 28-20 Week 2 comeback win at San Francisco prevented a disastrous 0-2 start for Chicago, which plays five of its next seven away from Soldier Field. This was one of the grittiest triumphs of the young season. The Bears shook off a slow start, made the proper adjustments and rallied to pull away from a formidable opponent playing on its home turf....
After coming over from the Lions via trade in the offseason, Stafford went 20 for 26 for 321 yards and three touchdowns as the Rams made easy work of the Bears on Sunday night inside a SoFi Stadium that had fans in it for the first time a year after opening. Los Angeles downed Chicago 34-14 thanks to Stafford’s ability to make big plays in the air. He notched touchdown passes of 67 yards (to Van Jefferson) and 56 yards (to Cooper Kupp)....
These are the Beatles’ best songs in their infancy. Imagine a time when Paul McCartney introduced “Yesterday” by saying, “It goes E minor to A-7th to D minor. Ready?” Or when “Strawberry Fields Forever” was a touching little folk song, stripped of all that experimental ’60s goo. The Beatles weren’t sure the world should hear all this, but they were smart to let us in on a few of their secrets....
The pair played together whilst at Real Madrid between 2003-2007, winning one La Liga title and the 2003 Spanish Super Cup. England 7/2 to beat Brazil Both players built a reputation as the finest set-piece takers in Europe, and Roberto Carlos believes Beckham is one of the best he has ever seen. “At Madrid with Beckham and Zizou, Roni, Ronaldo would also come but he’s never scored one goal against me in his life so we got rid of him,” Roberto Carlos said, speaking at Betsafe Star Sixes 2017....
The Lionesses had opened the tournament with a 4-1 victory over France on Thursday in what was Beckham’s former Manchester United team-mate Phil Neville’s first game as manager. Goals from Toni Duggan, Jill Scott, Jodie Taylor and Fran Kirby earned England an impressive win, and the squad were paid a visit by Beckham for their second outing. Beckham was pictured with Taylor at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey, with the former England men’s national team captain offering some words of advice....
You needn’t look further than how conflicts are worsened when a problem-solving-oriented person offers unsolicited and unwanted advice to someone who is looking to emotionally connect rather than be lectured. As a psychiatrist, I’ve found it’s better when those with analytical tendencies have some ability to be emotionally empathic, and when those with emotional tendencies have some ability to think logically and rationally. What anatomically enables us to be both analytical and emotional creatures — even if we favor one over the other — is a structure called the corpus callosum, which connects the right and left cerebral hemispheres and enables interaction between them....
Terry and the notable PL free agents Bosnia-Herzegovina goalkeeper Begovic ended a two-year stay at Stamford Bridge by moving to the south coast in search of first-team football, having largely played second fiddle to Thibaut Courtois for the Premier League champions. Terry called time on his career-spanning Chelsea years at the end of the season and is yet to commit to playing on elsewhere. Aston Villa were the latest side linked to the former England captain on Monday, but Begovic — who played for Bournemouth on loan earlier in his career — wants to see his old skipper make the move to Vitality Stadium....
Woolf is the presiding spirit. (Her suicide by drowning in 1941 frames the movie.) Her devoted husband, Leonard (a superb Stephen Dillane), concerned about her mental instability, has confined her to the London suburb of Richmond, where she is struggling to write “Mrs. Dalloway,” a novel that takes place in 24 hours. But she bucks the constraints of convalescence–death in life for her–longing for the vitality and danger of the city....
Director Igor Tcherginets called the decision by EU nations to ban Belavia flights coming to and from European airports “despicable” in a Facebook post Saturday. The EU has also encouraged European airlines to avoid Belarus airspace altogether. “It is evident that these governments planned not only to close their countries for landing by our airplanes, but also, with an especially fascist perversity, they are closing air corridors one by one....
The meeting came weeks after Lukashenko sent a fighter jet to intercept a European airliner traveling through the country’s airspace on May 23. The Ryanair plane was forced to land in the Belarus capital of Minsk under the pretenses that a bomb threat was received. Upon landing, a journalist known for criticizing Lukashenko was seized and taken into custody. The incident caused outrage throughout the world, with the European Union telling airlines to avoid Belarusian airspace....
According to a press release, the Embassy of Belgium in Seoul released on Facebook, Belgian Ambassador Peter Lescouhier has been removed from his role in South Korea in light of his wife’s alleged attack on a local clothing store employee. “Mr. Peter Lescouhier has served as Ambassador of Belgium to the Republic of Korea with dedication for the past three years,” the news release said. “It has however become clear that the current situation doesn’t allow him to further carry out his role in a serene way … Sophie Wilmès has decided that it is in the best interest of our bilateral relations to end Ambassador Lescouhier’s tenure in the Republic of Korea this summer....
The week before, plans to display the sculpture at a Manhattan gallery were scrapped when Christian groups protested the upcoming exhibition. Bill Donohue of the Catholic League called it “one of the worst assaults on Christian sensibilities ever.” Newspapers and blogs from Winnipeg to Romania picked up the story and, as a sign of how tense things have become on both sides of the culture wars, the artist and his wife began receiving death threats on their answering machine and via e-mail....
To make his movie, Steven Spielberg first had to figure out how to bring dinosaurs to life. For audiences grown accustomed to his bedazzling cinematic trickery, a plodding Godzilla or wooden King Kong just wouldn’t do. Two years ago he called his old friends at ILM, the special-effects empire in Marin County, Calif., founded by George Lucas. The cautious consensus: go with conventional full-size robotic models and stop-motion miniatures that other companies specialized in....
Well, Freire quieted those who doubted him by knocking out Chandler in just 61 seconds to add the Bellator lightweight title to his featherweight championship at the Allstate Arena on Saturday night and becoming just the second fighter in the promotion’s history to be crowned a “double champ.” “He was sleepy,” Freire said at his post-fight presser. “He kissed the floor.” The animosity between the two has run deep for almost three years and you could cut the tension with a knife as they stood across from each other inside the cage....
The Bruins won the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament with an 88-87 win over No. 25 Murray State in Saturday’s championship game. The Bulldogs could have won the Ivy League on Saturday, but fell to Dartmouth, 59-58. Harvard and Yale, which split in the regular season, will play a tie-breaker at Penn next Saturday. The Ivy League is the only conference without a postseason tournament. MORE: Cards take down Cavs | Oklahoma upsets Kansas | Bubble Watch...
Duncans’s work is known for pushing the boundaries of young adult horror. But she stopped writing all the way back in 1997 for a personal reason, a dark one that she could have very well created for the subject of one of her own books. Duncan became a published author at the ripe age of 13. “From then on,” she said, NPR reported, “my fate was decided. I wrote what I knew about, and could hardly wait to rush home from school each day to fling myself at the typewriter....
During an interview with CBS This Morning, Sasse said that what Trump did “was wicked,” as he acted against his oath to the American people “to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.” “The House, if they come together and have a process, I will definitely consider whatever articles they might move, because as I told you, I believe the president has disregarded his oath of office,” the Nebraska senator said....
