Suggesting some of the players’ outspoken views were putting fans off, he claimed the landscape of U.S. sports may eventually end up consisting of just two leagues. “It [Players speaking out on social issues] does make me wonder whether, inevitably, we are going to end up with two sports leagues,” he said during the Ben Shapiro Show on Monday. “Whether at some point people are going to want a sport league that does not allow this sort of stuff [political views] to impede the play or get on the field and people are just gonna view that....

Starting pitcher Rico Garcia did most of the damage, pitching six innings and recording 11 strikeouts. Then relievers Jordan Foley and Logan Cozart each pitched one inning without allowing a hit. Ben Bowden came in for the save, and recorded one out before facing Trenton’s Matt Lipka. With just two outs to go before finishing the no-hitter, Lipka decided to bunt on the first pitch he saw. It went down the first base line and he was safe at first....

Well, in the strictest sense, there is the fact Mr. Burfict still is very much alive. And beyond that, no matter how great the TV comedy is, we have no evidence “Ghosts” really are a thing. What happened in the final seconds of the Chiefs’ 23-20 AFC championship game victory Sunday over the Bengals so resembled Cincinnati’s stupefying defeat in the 2015 wild-card round against the Steelers, and what happened in that game was so uncommon, it’s almost beyond belief the same thing could happen to the same franchise....

The Bengals’ rookie quarterback was hit high and low simultaneously during the third quarter of Cincinnati’s Week 11 game against Washington. His left knee bent violently inward, and Burrow went down holding it before eventually being carted off the field. The Bengals quickly ruled Burrow out for the game, and he took to Twitter about an hour after the injury to let fans know his status. “Thanks for all the love,” Burrow wrote....

Taylor provided some insight into what transpired after Hamlin was resuscitated on the field and taken by ambulance to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Taylor explained that the coaches, officials and players on the field had to process what had happened in the aftermath of Hamlin’s exit. He gave each party involved credit for handling the situation properly and was particularly complimentary of the leadership shown on his counterpart’s sideline....

Wins are great, but much more goes into players' draft evaluations, which is likely why the 2013 Heisman Trophy runner up slipped to the Cincinnati Bengals with the 164th overall pick. But perhaps McCarron would have graded better on film had he been healthy in college. In a recent interview on SiriusXM NFL Radio, he claimed he was not. "A lot of people don't realize I wasn't healthy at Alabama," McCarron said....

Often more casually referred to “benzos,” common drugs in this class include Valium (diazepam), Xanax (alprazolam), Ativan (lorazepam), and Klonopin (clonazepam). Doral (quazepam), Dalmadorm/Dalmane (flurazepam), Halcion (triazolam), ProSom (estazolam), are Restoril (temazepam) are those that are approved for the short-term treatment of insomnia. How They Work Benzodiazepines work to reduce anxiety and promote restful sleep by binding to the gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABA-A) receptors in the brain. GABA is a neurotransmitter, a chemical messenger that travels between neurons....

Sanders, a progressive senator from Vermont who is currently a close second to former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic frontrunner, has long advocated for a universal or single-payer health care system. Critics argue that such a policy would lead to mass job loss and be an economic drain on the country, but the new analysis published Thursday by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) suggests the opposite would happen....

Sanders—who ran off the promise of universal health care and policies to combat climate change in the 2020 Democratic race—has insisted that widespread public support for the policies championed by progressives were apparent through the results of the presidential race. “112 co-sponsors of Medicare for All were on the ballot. All of them won. 98 co-sponsors of the Green New Deal were on the ballot. Only 1 lost,” the senator tweeted....

In an interview with Jimmy Fallon on October 23, the Vermont senator accurately predicted how the counting of mail-in ballots in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania would play out, as well as President Donald Trump’s reaction to results on the night of Election Day. “Democrats are more likely to use mail-in ballots, Republicans are more likely to walk into polling booths on Election Day. It is likely that the first votes that will be counted will be those people who came in on Election Day,” said Sanders....

The USA Today/Ipsos survey published on Saturday found voters had greater admiration for the Vermont senator’s personal characteristics than they did for President Donald Trump or other contenders in the Democratic primary field. Asked for their views on the character of candidates, 40 percent of those polled said they admired Sanders while just 26 percent said the same about the commander-in-chief. Former Vice President Joe Biden came in second place, with 31 percent of voters admiring his character while 30 percent said the same of Sen....

Four anonymous people told CNN that Sanders made the comment during a December 2018 meeting between the two Democratic senators at her apartment in Washington. The “longtime friends” met to hash out plans to take on President Donald Trump and the likelihood the two of them would ultimately end up fighting for the nomination. Sanders reportedly responded to Warren’s pitch about reviving the economy and appealing to female voters by telling her “he did not believe a woman could win” in 2020....

Sanders’ mittens and the rest of his attire at the inauguration quickly sparked countless memes on social media. The senator appeared to be wearing the same jacket that previously featured in a series of memes based on his presidential campaign fundraising ads, but his thick knit mittens stood out the most. During a CBS interview with Gayle King, Sanders insisted that his clothing choices were primarily intended to shield him from the chilly weather....

Shortly before Sanders’ retraction, Uygur announced that he was rejecting all endorsements he’d received so far, claiming he wanted to be free of influence. Thursday, Sanders gave his endorsement to founder of The Young Turks Cenk Uygur his political endorsement. Friday, Uygur announced that not only was he rejecting Sanders’ endorsement, but would not be accepting any endorsements from anyone. “I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the endorsements of Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, Nina Turner & local progressive groups that gave me their support,” Uygur tweeted....

In an MSNBC interview, the Vermont independent appeared angered by the resistance of Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) to the massive $1.75 trillion social care package the Biden administration is trying to pass. The legislation—which requires all 50 senators caucusing with the Democrats to pass via the reconciliation process—has been hampered by Manchin and Sinema who have objected to aspects of the bill. President Joe Biden has hinted that the bill widening the social safety net will not pass by the end of the year as hoped....

Berkshire Hathaway’s Special Metals plant in West Virginia has been experiencing a strike of around 450 workers since October 1. The facility helps make specialized alloys for military jet engines, spacecraft, and commercial planes. However, the United Steelworkers Local 40 union is in the middle of a dispute with the company’s Precision Castparts department as they try to bargain for a fair contract. Sanders expressed his support for the strike and the workers involved, urging Buffett to intervene....

After both wideouts had a lost 2013 because of injury, this season, they’re out to trump their ‘12 campaign—when they combined for 171 receptions, 2,549 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns. “I feel like me and Roddy, we’re the best when we step on the field,” Jones told ESPN.com. “We take it as a challenge every year: We want to go out and show everybody we’re the best one-two in the league....

Monday night, a group of thieves targeted a Nordstrom at The Grove shopping center in Los Angeles, smashing the store’s window displays and grabbing as much merchandise as they could before fleeing the scene. The Associated Press reported that Los Angeles Police Department officers chased an SUV, eventually taking three people into custody. The Grove incident follows similar thefts in places like San Francisco, Beverly Hills and a Chicago suburb....

Temperature Temperature is a core weather element that has been shown to cause pain in people with arthritis. One study assessed daily values for dew point, precipitation, and relative humidity, in addition to temperature and barometric pressure. It found that patients with knee arthritis experienced increased pain with every 10-degree drop in temperature. This suggests that temperature is a leading contributor to pain. Some researchers say that the link between low temperature and arthritis pain is due to changes in synovial fluid, a natural lubricant in the body that keeps joints mobile....
