The team from Campania, promoted via the play-offs after finishing fifth in Serie B last season, had lost their first 14 matches before finally earning a point from a 2-2 draw at home to AC Milan. That long-overdue positive result arrived in extraordinary fashion, goalkeeper Alberto Brignoli scoring a header from a corner in injury time to deny the Rossoneri. On Saturday, it was Coda’s turn to grab the spotlight as they went one better at Stadio Ciro Vigorito, converting Marco D’Alessandro’s cross in the 64th minute....

Benteke hobbled out of last weekend’s 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City, the striker replaced by Bakary Sako with 18 minutes to play. Sako 13/2 to score Saturday And Palace’s worst fears were confirmed when he was diagnosed with a knee ligament injury, which Hodgson expects to rule the Belgium international out for a significant period. “He’s got ligament damage which will keep him out for a minimum of six weeks,” the new Palace boss told a media conference....

In a letter—signed by Sanders and Democratic Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Elizabeth Warren and Edward Markey of Massachusetts, and Jeffrey Merkley and Ron Wyden of Oregon—the lawmakers in the Senate Democratic Caucus said the leading stimulus proposal “does not go anywhere near far enough.” Sanders circulated the letter among Senate Democrats on Monday. “Please join us in demanding that any new COVID-relief proposal includes a $1,200 direct payment to adults and $500 to their children....

Following initial, pandemic-related spikes in joblessness, which saw unemployment reach an all-time high of 14.70 percent in April 2020, rates have steadily decreased. And according to the most recent employment report published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, unemployment fell to 3.5 percent in September, matching July for the lowest mark in 50 years. However, low unemployment rates don’t make up the entire employment picture or tell the entire story for employees in the United States....

The biotechnology company Biogen manufactured the drug, which costs $56,000 a year, according to the Associated Press, which received a copy of the letter. “Biogen’s $56,000 price of Aduhelm is the poster child for how dysfunctional our prescription drug pricing system has become,” Sanders wrote to Biden. “The notion that one pharmaceutical company can raise the price of one drug so much that it could negatively impact 57 million senior citizens and the future of Medicare is beyond absurd....

On Thursday evening, The Washington Post reported that some members of Sanders’ campaign have been lobbying to raise their wages. Field organizers say they make a salary of $36,000 annually but work 60 hours per week, which is an average of $13 per hour. Unionized workers planned to send a letter to campaign manager Faiz Shakir which read that “many field staffers are barely managing to survive financially, which is severely impacting our team’s productivity and morale....

In his weekend post, Sanders compared the policies and tactics pushed forward by the GOP to the “growing authoritarianism” in China. The senator, who unsuccessfully sought the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential nomination, argued that Republicans are hypocrites for opposing China’s government while using what Sanders’ views as similar tactics in the U.S. “Republicans want a cold war with China because of its growing authoritarianism. That stance is coming from a party that refuses to acknowledge Biden’s election victory, investigate the January 6th insurrection, and is working overtime to suppress the vote,” the senator tweeted....

The quiz—Who Said It?—was launched on Sanders’ campaign website on Tuesday. It includes six questions, each asking people to match a quote about Medicare for All with the lawmaker that said it. “Joe Biden is attacking Medicare for All with lies straight out of the playbook of Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and the health insurance industry. Can you guess who said it?” the website reads. The first quote to appear in the quiz reads, “Medicare goes away as you know it....

In April, the New York State Board of Elections (NYSBE) cancelled the primary, saying that in-person voting was a potential health threat during the coronavirus pandemic. Another factor in the NYSBE decision was that all Democratic candidates, except former Vice President Joe Biden, had exited the race. Former presidential candidate Andrew Yang challenged the decision, later filing a lawsuit against the NYSBE on the grounds that his campaign was suspended, but not fully terminated....

Appearing on CNN on Sunday, the Vermont independent said there were “good” provisions in the bipartisan proposals, but repeated that the measures were “not enough” for the millions facing rent arrears and food poverty. He also blamed Republican leadership in the Senate for delays to the arrival of a second COVID-19 relief package, arguing that they had “refused to entertain” the level of funding needed to bail Americans out of poverty amid the pandemic....

Stacking is a key strategy that involves selecting two or more players from the same team. It’s become popular with both season-long and DFS players. Why? Because it gives you a chance to earn double points on any given play or at least have the success of certain players correlated within your lineup. There are a few different ways to approach stacking. You can roll with top-tier players in top offenses to raise the floor of your lineup, or you can go with contrarian options that provide you with key lineup differentiation....
