Before you dive in, we’ll admit that there might be one or two…hundred suggestions below that aren’t great. But, as we like to point out, even if 70 percent are terrible, we’re still batting .300, which makes us Hall-of-Famers. Even if you disagree and think we’re batting closer to .230, well, that’s the way the game is trending nowadays: Lower averages but more home runs, which we provide in the form of “Bichette’s Creek,” “And Teoscar Goes To…,” “Zero Lux Given,” and “Moustakas Tuesday....

That’s according to FIFA anyway, who ratified the Scottish club’s fans as ‘The Best’ at their awards ceremony in London earlier this month. Celtic 15/2 to beat Bayern Munich “Congratulations to all the Celtic supporters on receiving the very prestigious FIFA prize for being the best supporters,” enthused Bhoys manager Brendan Rodgers. “It’s an honour for us to play in front of you and we really appreciate the great support we have for every single game....

Army of Shadows Yes, it was made in 1969, but the late Jean-Pierre Melville’s fatalistic masterpiece about the French Resistance, starring Lino Ventura and Simone Signoret, was never shown in the United States until now. An instant classic. Little Miss Sunshine Pure pleasure—a smart, sweet and edgy comedy about our cultural obsession with winning. This indie movie succeeds in something Hollywood used to be able to do, and rarely does anymore: appeal to everyone....

‘Stacking’ has become one of the tried-and-true strategies in seasonal redraft leagues, but it works just as well on the DFS landscape. The concept: roster two players from the same team and enjoy double the pleasure, double the fun when they both hit. Stacking two players from one team in a plus-matchup significantly raises your teams’ ceiling, and in turn boosts your odds of winning money. When looking at stacking opportunities, it’s important to pinpoint good offenses in favorable game scripts....

There are sleepers and underdogs that go unnoticed before the NFL season every year. The 2021 season will be no different, and bettors will have a lot more information with which to base their wagers. In 2020, there was no preseason. This year, the preseason shed some light on which teams are playing well, which teams are well-rested and which young players and rookie coaches have had their share of issues....

NFL DRAFT: Selections, analysis, more Many thought Billings, an extremely strong 6-1, 311-pound run stuffer, could be a first-round pick. Instead he’s there at the top of the fourth round. Cook was thought to be perhaps the fourth-best quarterback in the draft, but he saw three QBs — Penn State’s Christian Hackenberg, North Carolina State’s Jacoby Brissett and USC’s Cody Kessler — go in front of him Friday. While Billings and Cook should go early when the fourth round begins Saturday at noon, there is plenty of talent remaining with players such as Notre Dame defensive tackle Sheldon Day, Ohio State linebacker Joshua Perry, LSU guard Vadal Alexander, Duke safety Jeremy Cash, Missouri linebacker Kentrell Brothers, South Carolina wide receiver Pharoh Cooper and Utah running back Devontae Booker....

NBA G League Ignite, which has sent multiple lottery picks to the NBA draft over the past two years, will be led by Scoot Henderson, who is projected to be a top-two pick in the 2023 draft. Along with Henderson, G League and basketball fans will have their eyes on London Johnson, who joined the Ignite in October after reportedly signing the highest salary for a player taking the G League pathway....

Levine was accused of having an affair with Instagram model Sumner Stroh, who claimed she felt “manipulated” by the Maroon 5 rocker in a TikTok video posted on Monday that has now been watched more than 23 million times. “I was having an affair with a man who is married to a Victoria’s Secret model,” Stroh, 23, initially said, before revealing the man to be Levine. “At the time, I was young, I was naive....

O’Rourke was reacting to comments Abbott made during a televised interview on Monday evening with Austin’s KFDM News. In the interview, Abbott said that city mayors and county judges have asked him to issue shutdown orders that would “really force Texans into poverty” while refusing to enforce the executive orders he has issued to try and stem the spread of COVID-19. “The need to show up and enforce the law as it is before they’re given any further authority....

“Look, there are African American men in this shot! How much did he pay them to be ‘blackground’?” the 73-year-old posted. There was an immediate backlash from the post, with many Twitter users commenting, “That’s racist” and calling the tweet, “really sick” for implying that black voters could not make their own political decisions. In the comments @Rodsmithonline said, “Imagine, for one moment, that a conservative said this about blacks at a liberal event....

Thank you for your wonderful Dec. 20 issue. To this collector of socio-editorial cartoons, “Cartoons of the Century"is worth a full year’s subscription to Newsweek. Jack Bond Timonium, Maryland Kudos on your special issue with the “Perspectives” on 100 years! After reading your piece"Fanfare for the Common Man”, (Perspectives 2000, Dec. 20), I would agree that more freedom for man means more dilemmas. But not in the sense of problems so much as challenges and the need to take more responsibility....

Ronaldo reunites with coma patient The Blues playmaker struck three goals and claimed an assist in four appearances during the month, lifting the Stamford Bridge club to fourth in the Premier League table. Hazard passed his personal tally from last season when he scored his fifth goal of the campaign against Southampton on Sunday. Hazard won 27,262 votes in the poll by Sky Sports, with Arsenal’s Theo Walcott coming in second with 14,737....

The warning signs that the French outfit know a thing or two about scoring ahead of Wednesday’s second-leg at Stade Louis II are likely not to go unheeded by Pep Guardiola. That Leonardo Jardim’s hosts only need to score two or more goals is perhaps reflected in existing odds of 1/6 (1.17) . But Betfair is offering new customers the chance to throw their faith behind the Catalan’s charges and back them at the boosted price of 5/1 (6....

The 365 million-year-old fossil, discovered in the mountains of Pennsylvania, is unique in another way: it’s far more massive than the arm bones of other tetrapods. What this means is that evolution wasn’t a simple ladder of progress, with a single creature plopping somehow onto the mud and evolving ashore. The “fish-tetrapod transition” was characterized by a panoply of competing adaptations, each struggling to outdo the others. The 7 million-year period from 365 million to 358 million years ago, during which creatures like the Pennsylvania tetrapod lived, supported a wide variety of amphibians with limbs, including more delicate arms and flippers–all with hands and feet and fingers and toes....

Traditionally offered just for online spending by financial tech companies like Affirm, Klarna and PayPay Credit in addition to Afterpay, the types of BNPL plans available and the companies that provide them has grown sharply. Now the plans have been extended to include some in-store purchases too, and credit-card issuers are getting into the act as well, offering their own versions of installment payment plans. In other words, they’re everywhere these days....

Could it happen to you? Fox’s case might once have been unusual, but no more. After a seven-month investigation, the Los Angeles Times in August published a series of articles concluding, among other things, that California HMOs were saving money by rationing medical care to their members. Last month the New York Post ran a week’s worth of stories on “managed-care casualties,” including one about a newborn’s death. On Oct....

Beyoncé’s hardcore, plant-based diet drew mixed reviews. Though some said the unforgiving diet works for them, many others said the diet was a counter to messages of body positivity. The promotional video for “22 Days Nutrition” shows Beyoncé at 5 a.m. on her first day of Coachella rehearsals. She is standing over a scale, which she calls “every woman’s nightmare.” Speaking about her weight, she continued: “175. Long way to go....

Acupuncture has become more than just the last thing you try to kick an addiction; it’s a common remedy for many conditions once treated exclusively by surgery or drugs. There are nearly 9,000 licensed acupuncturists in the U.S., up from 5,500 in 1992 - and some 200 insurance companies cover their services. No one knows exactly how acupuncture works, but studies suggest that like vigorous exercise - or morphine - it releases neuropeptides that fight pain....
