United confirmed the 76-year-old’s situation in a statement on Saturday after reports had begun circulating that he was in intensive care. Ferguson, whose procedure went “very well” according to the club, spent 27 years as United manager until 2013, overseeing an immensely successful period which included 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League crowns. Beckham played a vital role in their first Champions League triumph and was brought through by Ferguson as part of the revered ‘Class of ‘92’ alongside Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Ryan Giggs....

The Sooners won 62-52 as Mayfield went 24 for 36 with 598 yards and six total touchdowns. It’s the third-straight Bedlam win for Oklahoma. The Sooners defense stepped up late to stop the Cowboys on their last drive of the game. With just under a minute left, the Cowboys elected to go for it on fourth-and-12 from the 38-yard line instead of kicking a field goal to tie. Cowboys quarterback Mason Rudolph’s pass was incomplete, and the turnover on downs led the Sooners to score a touchdown and seal the win....

It's also the best way to describe what took place in Stillwater on Saturday. First there was snow. So much in fact that workers had to spend most of Friday cleaning of the seats at Boone Pickens Stadium. There there was the earthquake. Yes an earthquake. Right as Oklahoma State was attempting a field goal in the second quarter, a 4.5 magnitude earthquake hit central Oklahoma. The impact was felt at the stadium, but Ben Grogran was not rattled, and made the kick....

Years ago the American landscape was dotted with small breweries, many with their own taprooms. Now, after a half century of Prohibition-era legal opprobrium, and the recent surge in microbrewing, the brewpub is reborn, opening at the rate of one per week across the country. (Texas, the latest state to relax liquor laws in favor of small-time brewers, enacted a brewpub law late last year, an in Austin alone five brewpubs are scheduled to open by the end of 1994....

Students in the city must continue their studies online, Li Yi, spokesman for the Beijing Municipal Education Commission, told reporters during a news conference Wednesday.

But on Wednesday, China’s National Health Commission reported 31 new cases in the capital, compared to the 44 newly reported cases across China, appearing to be the city’s largest coronavirus outbreak in more than two months....

It’s no secret that Bill Clinton is star struck. But aides are concerned that all the showbiz types trooping in and out of the White House may give the impression that the president is spending too much time schmoozing with celebs. “We’re too Hollywood,” says a top Clinton adviser. One event that may be scratched from Clinton’s schedule: next week’s Washington premiere of the political parody “Dave.

A Belgian farmer accidentally moved what turned out to be a territory border marker that in turn shrunk France’s size by 7.5 feet. Now, his thoughtless act could land him in international trouble, according to a report from The Independent. According to a report from the outlet, the man moved the stone placement that got in the way of his tractor while tending to his land. French Mayor of Bousignies-sur-Roc Aurelie Welonek noted the man “also repositioned his fence on trees that belong to the wood of Bousignies,” thus unintentionally expanding Belgium borders....

Courtois and Belgium will meet Group G rivals England on June 28 in their final group game of the showpiece tournament. Kane scored 30 Premier League goals for Tottenham in 2017-18 and it is the England striker’s consistency that makes Courtois wary. “England have a team with a lot of individual talent, you’ll have to watch out for several players,” the Chelsea keeper said. “But the one who scores almost 30 goals every year is Harry Kane....

Founded in 1966 by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the movement—formally known as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)—became known largely for proselytizing in airports and for its influence on Beatle George Harrison. Critics called it a cult, and a sex-abuse scandal also cost it both money and members. Using the teachings of 15th-century philosopher Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Hare Krishnas worship by repeatedly chanting God’s name. They believe in simple living and are prohibited from eating meat, gambling, intoxication and sex outside marriage....

While the Preakness Stakes and Kentucky Derby were pushed back significantly by the coronavirus pandemic, Belmont is still taking place in June as it did last year, when Sir Winston finished ahead of the field.

Yet, although this ambivalence on Jew-hatred was expected from some quarters, there has been one supremely notable instance of wholesale hand-waving that has come as a surprise to anyone paying even a modicum of attention. While The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro has usually been vocal and outspoken about anti-Semitism in the past, he has found himself much more understanding this time. I’m sure the fact that Candace Owens is an employee of The Daily Wire has little to do with that fact....
