That gives us a great opportunity to break down the colt’s historic performance, even if he dominated in wire-to-wire fashion with a time of 2:26.65.

The Deep Water actor, 49, was spotted in Paris rocking what appeared to be a plain, silver bauble on his left hand following his wedding to Jennifer Lopez. Surprisingly, the piece didn’t seem any different to the one he wore while married to Garner. In fact, in side-by-side photos, it’s hard to tell them apart. As for Lopez’s wedding ring, it’s a simple silver band too. That said, her engagement rings from Affleck were complete opposites....

Some observers expected more from a team that in the offseason signed high-priced free agents Olivier Vernon and Damon Harrison to bolster the defensive line. WEEK 9 PICKS: Straight up | Against the spread But when a reporter asked coach Ben McAdoo on Friday about the low sack total given the team’s big D-line investment, McAdoo brushed off the question with a classic response. “We say it all the time, really: Stats are for losers,” McAdoo said, via NFL....

“We have a lot of injuries,” Roethlisberger said on 93.7 The Fan. “I think a lot of our stuff stems from we’re one of the most physical football teams in training camp, in practice. … We do more hitting than most teams do and more [practices in] pads.” MORE: Week 6 Power Rankings The QB compared his team’s practices to the Lions when the two had a joint session in training camp and said, “They hadn’t even gone a day in pads and we had already done like two weeks....

The Steelers need to think QB first when they’re on the clock in the 2017 NFL Draft. That’s the case regardless of Roethlisberger’s decision. Since they took the now 34-year-old Roethlisberger No. 11 overall in 2004, the Steelers have drafted only three QBs: Omar Jacobs (‘06), Dennis Dixon (‘08) and Landry Jones (‘13). None were taken before Round 4, and none were drafted to be more than a developmental backup....

The veteran signal-caller noted to media that the seventh-seed Steelers are significant underdogs against the second-seed Chiefs (12.5 favorites, according to FanDuel). He also made note of how handily Kansas City demolished Pittsburgh 36-10 in the team’s Week 16 meeting — the final game in an eight-game win streak in which Roethlisberger completed 23 of 35 passes for 159 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

The Biden administration, as well as the previous administration of former President Donald Trump, have faced substantial criticism over the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan as the Taliban swiftly retook control of the country this month. Although Biden is overseeing the withdrawal, the peace deal with the Taliban was signed in February 2020 during Trump’s tenure in the White House. Sasse addressed the unfolding situation on Fox News Sunday....

Shapiro touted the United States health care system as one of the finest in the world on The Ben Shapiro Show as he defended the former vice president’s widely derided rebuke to Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ comparison of the U.S. and Canada. At the debate, Sanders argued Americans spend “twice as much” as Canadians, prompting Biden to swiftly reply, “This is America.” Shapiro agreed with Biden’s touting of the U....

Simmons shared a photo of himself dunking while two Kentucky players looked on. The caption, which read “I rock LSU gold on these (dancing women emoji),” was his own remixed version of the popular Drake lyric “I rock Kentucky blue on these (derogatory slang term for women).” Simmons even tagged the rapper in the photo for good measure.

Fast forward to March of 2022, and while “The Process” might be over, things in Philadelphia are looking sunny once again. For Simmons, however, it will be a long road back for him in that city, if he can recover his reputation at all. The Brooklyn Nets travel to Philadelphia on Thursday and while Simmons won’t play, he is expected to be on the bench for his new team....

Simmons’ poor performance during Philadelphia’s surprising second-round exit at the hands of the Hawks has brought plenty of trade buzz to the city of brotherly love. While coach Doc Rivers has been adamant that the team has a plan for Simmons, he also was lukewarm about Simmons’ star potential after the Sixers’ Game 7 elimination at the hands of the Hawks. As such, it’s no surprise that the 76ers are continuing to shop Simmons to see what they can get for him....

The sad fact is they’re both right. So what explains the possible union of these antagonists? The answer is simple: power. Musharraf wants to retain his; Bhutto wants to get hers back. But their underlying differences remain profound, and the dangers great. While Western leaders hope a deal between them will help calm Pakistan, the truth is it probably won’t. The Bhutto and Musharraf camps have been holding backroom talks for some time....

It may be that the patient has been ill for some time or has been receiving artificial nutrition but not getting any better. In either case, the question of whether to withhold or withdraw artificial nutrition may arise. This can be a cause of great unease and distress if you’re the patient’s loved one and caregiver. Artificial nutrition is the delivery of a patient’s nutritional support without requiring the patient to chew and swallow....

That is, until a questionable penalty called on Cincinnati cornerback Mike Hilton took that opportunity away. Hilton tackled Ty Johnson on a third-and-11, stopping the Jets running back for a loss of a yard at the 2-minute mark. However, officials flagged Hilton for unnecessary roughness; more specifically, Hilton was called for lowering his helmet to initiate contact.

After the Chiefs ran through the Pats’ D for 207 rushing yards, eyes will be on the Bengals’ dynamic backfield duo of Giovani Bernard and Jeremy Hill, the former in particular. Bernard is on the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook’s props board at -130 to score a touchdown (the price is +110 if you think the Patriots keep him from scoring). One would expect the Patriots to take strides to shore up their run defense, but will that be enough to keep Bernard from crossing the plane?...

Mitrovic has been linked with a January move to the Premier League despite only starting four of his 13 Championship appearances under Benitez this season. Middlesbrough reportedly head the queue for his services as Aitor Karanka looks to bolster a strikeforce that has only registered 16 goals in 18 league matches. The form of Dwight Gayle - who has 17 goals in 19 appearances - has limited the chances for 22-year-old Mitrovic, who has registered just three league goals this term....

The striker was far removed from such a description during his sole season on Merseyside, but his seminal moment for the Reds interestingly materialised at Selhurst Park. Saturday’s fixture between the sides will mark 237 days since Damien Delaney’s knee knocked into Benteke’s ankle, with Andre Marriner awarding a penalty after consulting with his assistant. Having not scored for 715 minutes, and with seconds left to play, the forward put the ball beyond Alex McCarthy and the game beyond Palace....

The former Lyon striker has been heavily criticised for his performances this season, which has started more slowly than any of his eight previous campaigns since he arrived from the Ligue 1 giants in 2009. Atletico 4/1 to beat Levante 1-0 Indeed, so sluggish had his form in front of goal been this term, he had not netted a single strike at the Bernabeu in league play until he headed the opener of the fixture against Malaga....

It’s a goal clearly in vogue at this year’s Berlinale, where fully a dozen films tackle complex and previously unexplored aspects of Muslim life. In “The Song of Sparrows,” the Oscar-nominated Iranian director Majid Majidi tells the story of a modern-day Iranian family that moves from the suburbs of Tehran to the city, where the father falls upon hard times. Tony Gerber and Jesse Moss’s documentary “Full Battle Rattle” focuses on the Iraqi-Americans who “play” Iraqis in the U....
