But there’s one thing we do know after three weeks this season: The race between teams isn’t as compelling as the four-man race for Offensive Rookie of the Year. MORE: Week 4 NFL Power Rankings Don’t bother looking outside the division. The award is already down to an Eagle, a Giant or one of two Cowboys. Recent history also suggests the division is due. Robert Griffin III won the award while playing for Washington in 2012, and Odell Beckham Jr....

In an interview with local news station KXAN, O’Rourke said he would only think about the 2022 midterm elections once the Texas GOP’s plans have been taken off the table, or overruled by a federal bill. “If we can get this done… I’ll think about what other role I can play in public service whether that is as a candidate in 2022 or supporting great candidates in 2022,” O’Rourke told KXAN....

Midler played Winnie Sanderson, one of three sisters who happen to be evil witches in the 1993 cult classic film, alongside Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah Sanderson) and Kathy Najimy (Mary Sanderson). Ahead of the highly anticipated sequel due to air on Disney+ later this month, Midler revealed she had no idea how popular the film had become until she had to hire a Hocus Pocus costume. The superstar was forced to pay for a Winnie Sanderson costume because Walt Disney Studios, the production company that made the original film, could not loan her one of the original costumes....

While Minnesota was adjusted from a field-goal underdog to +6 for its home opener against New England, Peterson is worth just 1.5 points to the betting line, White’s numbers say. The Linemakers picked the Vikings at +3 before the news. Minnesota is a stronger play at +6. Peterson is facing an indictment on charges of child abuse. He is accused of beating his four-year-old son with a switch or a stick, and his lawyer, Rusty Hardin, says his client “used his judgment as a parent to discipline his son....

The wild card round features eight teams competing in four different win-or-go-home games for the four remaining spots in the playoffs. Newsweek has detailed the odds and point spreads for each of the wild card games below. AFC Wild Card Buffalo Bills vs. Houston Texans One side of the AFC wild card matchup will feature the Buffalo Bills traveling to Houston to take on the Texans. Both teams come into the game with 10-6 records, but the Texans were given home-field advantage because they won the AFC South title....

All the Women in My Brain: And Other Concerns is a series of essays that tell Gilpin’s story through cleverly-worded metaphors and hard-learned truths about the modern societal woman—topics that Gilpin has reflected on perhaps more than her female actor counterparts, taking inspiration from her career. Instead of writing a “typical actor memoir,” Gilpin told Newsweek she wanted more people to be able to understand and relate to her words through the universal female experience....

Everyone has heard the stories–the “friend of a friend” who was stood up by her Afghan boyfriend, who then told her in an e-mail not to get on a commercial jet on Sept. 11. The next-door neighbors of Middle Eastern descent who threw a raucous party on Sept. 10–and then were nowhere to be found the next day. The story I was looking for had circulated less widely and in more general form....

When the Pentagon leaked a few worst-case scenarios, hardly anyone discussed them. And when the General Accounting Office issued several scary reports raising questions about our readiness for biological or chemical war, hardly anyone read them. The hour is late for this conversation to take place, but it must. Let’s look at the most probable scenario. The invasion begins with a devastating barrage of cruise missiles. Saddam tries to hunker down for the kind of house-to-house urban combat that he hopes will bloody the United States....

Following the lead of Kanye West and Kate Hudson, Beyonce is getting into the so-called “Athleisure” business, challenging athletic companies such as Nike, adidas and Under Armour with her own fitness line dubbed “Ivy Park.” PHOTOS: Beyonce’s rocking halftime performance | MORE: Michael Jordan hates rap — almost The singer touted her new brand online Thursday, with photos and videos of her modeling the collection of swimsuits, tops, sports bras, leggings and other gear....

Of course, on social media many trends on recipes to try have emerged, from dalgona coffee to banana bread to sourdough. But, beyond these continuing trends, some chefs and food experts are looking at other recipes that are suited to ample free time. “Sourdough is the obvious one, but more than that, I think there are a lot of people making or cooking things that just require a slower pace: long braises, baking, that sort of thing,” cookbook author and travel writer Naomi Tomky, told Newsweek....

Nannygate (as the foreign press quickly called it) has fascinated Israel so completely, you’d hardly notice the prickly issues confronting Netanyahu in his first weeks in office. That was the prime minister’s defense as well. ““Serious journalism shouldn’t be preoccupied with things like this,’’ said his communications director, David Bar-Illan. But it was Netanyahu who changed the rules of political reporting in Israel. Following his ““American style’’ campaign, he paraded his family as no Israeli politician ever had, kissing his wife and carrying his sons in the spotlight whenever possible....

Benefits of Bicycling Bicycling is a great exercise option for people with osteoarthritis. A regular routine of bicycling keeps your knees moving through their range of motion and, at the same time, strengthens the muscles that support your knees. It makes sense to continue bicycling for as long as you can. However, if you have a significant amount of joint damage in your knees or hips, your ability to ride a bicycle may become increasingly limited....

Also among the top five were North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un at No. 2, Kenosha police-shooting victim Jacob Blake at No. 4 and NASCAR driver Ryan Newman, who experienced a life-threatening crash while competing last February, at No. 5. In ascending order, Nos. 6-10 were actor Tom Hanks, singer Shakira, football player Tom Brady, failed presidential candidate and singer Kanye West and also Vanessa Bryant, wife of recently deceased professional basketball player Kobe Bryant....

Executed in phases, the initiative will begin with the processing of the 25,000 asylum seekers who have active court cases in the country. The Biden administration believes they will be able to process 300 individuals a day at two of three ports along the border starting on February 19. Those who waited the longest would be served first, although especially vulnerable people could be fast tracked. That would mean the first group of migrants would be brought into the country in roughly the next 90 days....

“If Mr. Navalny dies, there will be consequences to the Russian government,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Monday. President Joe Biden already has imposed sanctions against Russian officials over the handling of Navalny, a chief critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Psaki didn’t elaborate Monday on what the consequences would be if Navalny dies. Psaki previously told reporters that Biden was “disturbed” by Navalny’s treatment. “We urge Russian authorities to take all necessary actions to ensure his safety and health,” she said earlier this month....

During Tuesday’s press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that although she hasn’t read the reports of the mass walkout, President Joe Biden continues to support the LGBTQ community and is “always proud to speak out against the mistreatment of that community.” “He believes transgender youth should be allowed to be able to go to school freely, to be able to express themselves freely, to be able to have the protections that they need to be who they are,” Jean-Pierre told reporters....

The program, called The Luchadores, or “The Fighters” in English, is comprised of digital ads in battleground states that will feature celebrities like comedian George Lopez and former Daily Show star Al Madrigal. Beyond the campaign using its own social media channels to promote the initiative, it is partnering with top Spanish-language and Latino-focused radio stations in battleground states like Nevada, as well as TV networks like El Rey, to amplify the program....
