MORE: A cure for Roy William’s NCAA-sized headache Nance decided it was time to tell his story and contacted Sporting News. “I just felt the coverage of the scandal and everything was maybe a little one-sided, and the portrayal that it was a class for athletes was nowhere near accurate,” Nance said. “I still cherish my degree, and I feel very privileged to be able to go to Carolina. There’s just too much generalization going on....

No 10: Carlos Sainz Junior Nico Hulkenberg finally has a strong teammate. What was already hinted at towards the end of the preseason, was fully evident in Melbourne: Carlos Sainz Jr. is not far away. The Spaniard was only four hundredths slower than Hulkenberg in qualifying. In the race, however, the difference was greater. Thirteen seconds separated both Renault drivers at the finish line. Why? Well, Sainz did not seem to be having his best day and had a fierce slowdown in Turn 9, which not only slipped him into the grass, but also made him lose a seat to Fernando Alonso....

In June, Italian authorities started an investigation into Nigel Stepney, one of the chief technicians of the Ferrari racing team. As it turned out, Stepney had passed classified information about Ferrari’s cars to Mike Coughlan, the chief designer of McLaren. This wasn’t just a late-night slip of the tongue: 780 copied pages of Ferrari technical information had been found in Coughlan’s home. In early September, fresh evidence surfaced. Coughlan had shared his information with two McLaren drivers, including reigning world champion Fernando Alonso, as e-mail and text messages showed that were later released by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA)....

Raikkonen, who has agreed to re-join Ferrari for the 2014 campaign, has been struggling with the complaint for some time and it is believed to have flared up during September's Singapore Grand Prix. The team confirmed on Sunday that he would be unavailable for the final two races of 2013 in the United States and Brazil, and they have moved quickly to secure the services of Kovalainen on a short-term basis....

Perez, a 23-year-old Mexican, joined the British-based team at the start of the current campaign. He revealed on Wednesday that he would be leaving after the last race of the season in Brazil. McLaren then confirmed on Thursday that novice Dane Kevin Magnussen will drive alongside Jenson Button next year, and Perez has revealed he was unaware of the team's plans. "I found out only a couple of days before you," he said....

The confrontation took place in a neighborhood in Columbia, South Carolina, earlier this week, according to Shirell Johnson, who posted the video on Facebook. The three-minute video shows the white man threatening and yelling at a man, who Johnson identified only as Deandre. He is seen repeatedly telling Deandre to leave, and pushes him violently at one point. “Go away right now,” the man is heard telling Deandre at the start of the video....

“It was easy," Airwaks said on Twitch after winning Game 1. “Simple as that. I don’t know if it was 50 pros and 50 amateurs but I only saw 98 bots.” By the time the whole thing was over, Epic Games rewarded over $3 million to charity. The donations were made to the charities of the choice of the contestants. A few sports stars secured some top-10 finishes in the contest....

The parasite threatened local residents with weak immune systems, but for most people “the body fights this off in about a week,” says Dr. Thomas Schlenker, medical director of the Milwaukee Health Department. Officials were relieved that shrewd lab work isolated the uncommon parasite only two days after epidemiologists learned of the outbreak. Such painstaking identification can drag on for weeks. So can the incubation period. More cases of Milwaukee’s revenge will likely show up through mid-April, but by the weekend one reassuring sign of normalcy returned: Milwaukee County threatened to sue the city, seeking to recoup sick pay it expects to dole out to county workers....

Hall of Fame voting, as currently constituted, works. There are issues with it that can be addressed, but where critics call for a full overhaul, a lot of what is wrong with the system could be addressed with some tweaks. There are problems dealing with the candidacies of players from the 1990s and early 2000s, before testing began for performance-enhancing drugs, but it is pretty clear that the eventual answer will be for a special committee to consider that era, after the Hall gave little guidance to the voters from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America on how to deal with candidates like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens....

As part of the NFL’s new International Player Pathway Program, Alex Gray (Falcons, from UK), Alex Jenkins (Saints, from UK), Eric Nzeocha (Buccaneers, from Germany) and Efe Obada (Panthers, from UK) will be carried on their respective teams’ practice squads during the 2017 season, the league announced Thursday. The four NFC South teams each will be given an exemption to carry 11 practice squad players. NFL teams otherwise are allowed to carry just 10....

Malik Halfacre, 25, demanded Jeanettrius Moore give him half of her COVID-19 relief payment in an argument that culminated in the deaths of four people, including a child, the victim’s family says. Officers initially responded to reports of a shooting at 253 North Randolph Street just after 9:35 p.m. to find a woman shot in the upper back, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) said in a news release on Monday....

But some 18 months later, as companies navigate an increasingly ‘hybrid’ workplace, bosses are asking a more fundamental question: how can we maintain our sense of culture and community, when our people might be permanently dispersed? My view: As I describe in my new book The Long Game, we have to pull ourselves out of reactive thinking and instead focus on the future we want to create. I recently interviewed organizational psychologist David Burkus on my weekly Newsweek interview show “Better” (Thursdays 12 p....

“‘I don’t know where you came from, but here in America,’ a fellow American wrote to me today,” Raj began in the post. “To that ignorance, I replied ‘Troy.’ I’m from Troy, MI.” The tweet which sparked the response from Raj came from a Twitter user in what appeared to be a comment on the ongoing trade war with China. “Raj, I wish you understand why the tariffs will be in place....

Delivering his opening monologue on The Next Revolution on Sunday, Hilton also called for Joe Biden to be pressured into revealing who he would nominate to the Supreme Court were he to take control of the White House in January next year. The Quote “The far left are taking over the Democratic Party, and there is a very real, very frightening prospect that they will take over the country and do permanent harm,” Hilton said....

Todd Starnes, the host of his namesake radio show on Fox Nation, the conservative network’s subscription streaming service, said The New York Times published a “nasty hit job on those of us who work here at the Fox News corner of the world.” Starnes was referring to a piece published by the newspaper on Sunday with the headline, “How the El Paso Killer Echoed the Incendiary Words of Conservative Media Stars....

Digital politics editor Chris Stirewalt was fired in January after calling the typically red state for Biden earlier than other networks, which reportedly angered former President Donald Trump and his supporters. Trump’s son-in-law and former adviser even reportedly got in touch with Rupert Murdoch, the billionaire owner of Fox News, to try and get the channel to take back its call, which came as a surprise given the network’s generally conservative stance....

Vindman is an officer in the U.S. Army and a Purple Heart recipient. He is also the director for European affairs on the National Security Council and was part of the U.S. delegation that traveled to Kiev for President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s inauguration in May. A Ukrainian-American whose family moved to the U.S. when he was a young boy, Vindman is also fluent in Russian and Ukrainian. Observers have lauded Vindman’s credentials, suggesting his testimony will carry extra weight given his impeccable resume....

Graham, along with other Republican lawmakers, has strongly criticized President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better Act, raising alarms that it will add hundreds of billions to the deficit if passed into law. Last month, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected that the social spending package “would result in a net increase in the deficit of $367 billion over the 2022-2031 period, not counting additional revenue that may be generated by additional funding for tax enforcement....

Although Pirro has been one of Trump’s staunchest defenders, regularly attacking Democrats and dismissing their criticism of the president, the controversial opinion show host appeared on Saturday evening to question whether Giuliani actually had the evidence he has claimed to have. In response, Giuliani insisted he’d already revealed what he knew of Biden’s alleged “corruption.” “Joe Biden has been a big crook for most of his career,” Giuliani claimed during an interview on Justice with Judge Jeanine....

Pelosi on Tuesday afternoon announced that the House will move forward with a formal impeachment inquiry of Trump, despite having long resisted calls from progressives in her party to begin proceedings. In recent days, Pelosi’s mind appears to have changed on the matter after the emergence of the whistleblower scandal. The Trump administration has been accused of pressuring the newly-elected Ukrainian leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, to open a probe into the business dealings of 2020 Democratic candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden....
