Elsewhere, Baker Mayfield is predictably absent from the Browns’ OTAs as he continues to try to be traded after Cleveland traded for Deshaun Watson this offseason. While Mayfield and Panthers seem like a potential fit, there is one major sticking point: money. MORE: News, updates on Kaepernick’s workout with Raiders Cleveland exercised Mayfield’s fifth-year option, meaning he’ll be paid the same $18.86 million Darnold is getting this season. The Panthers, unsurprisingly, don’t want two quarterbacks being paid franchise money, so they reportedly want the Browns to pick up part of Mayfield’s contract....

Rocky Matthews told Idaho newspaper The Times-News that he had started finding dead lambs on his farm near Murtaugh Lake in April this year. The animals all had small puncture wounds, leading Matthews to conclude that someone was killing them with a pellet gun. One day, however, the farmer saw a bald eagle attack his flock and realized what was really happening. He said bald eagles had lived in a large nest on his property for more than 20 years and had never attacked the flock before....

The Wales international has not played since the Champions League win over Sporting CP on November 22, when he suffered an ankle injury. It had been hoped that Bale, who returned to first-team training last weekend, would be available for the clash with Napoli this week but Zidane opted to grant him extra time to prove his fitness. Benzema proud of his display vs Napoli And the former Tottenham star will be back on the pitch at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday, although it remains unlikely that he will start....

The Blancos eased past Juventus 4-1 in Cardiff on Saturday to add a continental crown to a domestic one already stolen away from arch-rivals Barcelona. Madrid have now conquered Europe three times in the last four seasons, with Zinedine Zidane’s side considered to be one of the finest of this or any other generation. WATCH: CR7 sings ‘Ronaldo, Ballon d’Or’ Bale certainly believes they are a special squad, with there no reason why they cannot establish a dynasty like that of Alfredo Di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas in the 1950s by landing more major titles....

Ball State and Western Michigan became the latest teams to provide fans with some wildly entertaining late-game #MACtion on Saturday. With Ball State leading 30-27 with five seconds remaining, Western Michigan had one last play from its 49-yard line to try to win the game. The Broncos ran a quick screen to the right, and then proceeded to lateral the ball 12 times before the 13th attempt was fumbled in the vicinity of two Cardinals defenders....

Starting line: the entire area between 77th and 86th Streets where the balloons are inflated. Falloon: a balloon attached to a float. L.O.M.: Line of March: the order of the parade, as in, “Where’s Snoopy?” “I don’t know, cheek the L.O.M.” The Star: the staging area in front of the NBC booth. Red line: where acts enter The Star; once over the red line, you’re on. Jack: the communications center, after famous volunteer Jack Damlos, now deceased....

How Bernardo Silva made his name Upon arriving in Nice last summer, the Italy international striker said that it was not too late for him to win the game’s greatest individual honour, which has now been shared by the Portuguese and the Argentine in each of the last nine editions. The striker now seems to have come to the conclusion that securing the gong will be a difficult achievement....

In a series of tweets late last month, Trump called Democratic lawmaker Elijah Cummings “a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol,” before attacking his hometown district of Baltimore. The president’s harsh remarks came after the congressman, who’s also the chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, called the treatment of undocumented migrant children being detained near the southern U.S.-Mexico border “government-sponsored child abuse....

However, the striker failed to impress and wasn’t chosen thereafter. It must be remembered that just a few months earlier, he had become the first Indian to score in the inaugural edition of the Indian Super League (ISL). Much was written about him though that turned out to be his only goal in the competition that season in 14 appearances. The following season in the ISL he struggled for game time and only managed 218 minutes where he could only make it into the starting eleven on two occasions....

Smashed glass littered the marble floors; instructions and arrows were painted on the walls; furniture was upended and broken. Desktop computers and boxes of files were abandoned on the stairs. The basement was strewn with German banknotes, Bosnian convertible marks, sacks of coins and the ashes of currency and papers destroyed by the break-in. Western officials could only shake their heads in regret. “It was not possible to do this with finesse,” says Ralph Johnson, who witnessed the raid as the international community’s top U....

The port remains a dream, its steel framework’s center section washed away by a recent storm; the head engineer blames Israel for delays. A new eyesore on a blighted landscape, it is an apt symbol of Gaza’s vaunted rebirth, which looks ever more chimerical. Indeed, Gaza’s 850,000 people now must struggle harder than before to survive. Arafat has even had to slash salaries for police, poorly equipped men who two weeks ago fired on an angry crowd of their own people, killing 14 of them....

News first broke Sunday that Trump in a Saturday letter waived executive privilege he had claimed over Bannon’s testimony. The former Trump administration official’s attorney also sent a letter to the committee saying that his client is “willing to, and indeed prefers, to testify at your public hearing.” The news was seen as a significant reversal, as Bannon has been a harsh critic of the House select committee as he continues to be a staunch defender of the ex-president....

Although Democratic Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers attempted to have the primaries postponed to a later date, a federal judge dismissed his motion and the elections went on as originally planned. “No one should be forced to choose between their right to vote and their right to stay healthy like the debacle in Wisconsin this week,” Obama tweeted Friday. “Everyone should have the right to vote safely, and we have the power to make that happen....

Obama conducted an interview with Scott Pelley of CBS’ ‘60 Minutes.’ Pelley asked Obama about the 2020 presidential election, in which Trump won more than 73 million popular votes—way more than he won in 2016. “It tells us that we’re very divided,” Obama said Sunday night. “As I said. It’s not just the politicians, the voters are divided.” Obama went on to blame media and tech companies for letting a division drive a huge wedge between voters in America....

Defender Lenglet has gained many admirers since joining Sevilla from Nancy in January 2017, quickly securing a first-team role under Jorge Sampaoli and remaining a key figure last season, playing 35 times – more than any of his team-mates – in La Liga. Reports of Barca’s interest were prominent for much of the campaign, especially in the wake of the 23-year-old’s stellar performance against Manchester United in the Champions League, and there have even been claims the Catalan club already have an agreement with the centre-back....

The Brazilian brought an eight-year spell with the La Liga giants to a close in the summer of 2016. Barca have struggled to fill the void his departure created, with the club lacking in presence and panache at right-back. How Alves’ Barca love affair ended Alves has, however, suggested that he is highly unlikely to head back to Catalonia, with the buccaneering defender now 33 years of age and bearing a grudge against some of those he left behind....

Goal revealed in June that the 29-year-old had emerged as a top target for the Camp Nou club, but a protracted chase saw three offers from Catalonia knocked back, with the most recent one totalling €25m. Barcelona 5/1 to win Champions League with dabblebet Barca have refused to give up in their pursuit, though, and despite Guangzhou’s desire to hold on to Paulinho, are set to snap him up after putting together a package which meets the release clause in his contract....

In a bid to revitalise the squad under new coach Unai Emery, the French giants have turned to Wolfsburg’s Julian Draxler to help add some much needed support for Edinson Cavani. OFFICIAL: PSG sign Draxler for £30m With plenty of options in midfield and attack, though, Emery will have to make a few adjustments to his team and his tactical set-up to accommodate the Wolfsburg player should he make the move in January....
