MORE: Giants’ first-round NFL Draft picks since 2000 Collins made it known as he transistioned to the pros that he was a Redskins fan, and that the late, great saftey was one of his favorites. “My favorite team was the Redskins because I grew up a Clinton Portis and Sean Taylor fan,” Collins told Alabama.com before the 2015 NFL Draft. “So it’s always been the Redskins.” A photo posted by Landon Collins (@thehumble_21) on May 14, 2016 at 2:42pm PDT...
They have problems at least as large at general manager, which are only partly related to the specific blame Jerry Reese gets for their 1-8 record. And their biggest problem of all — tying together the coach, general manager, owner, quarterback, record and everything surrounding them — isn’t even playing. Of course this all circles back to Odell Beckham Jr. MORE: Sports media rips “terrible” Giants Everything with this franchise circles back to Beckham, for whatever reason, very few of which have to do with how he celebrates touchdowns or how his relations with his kicking nets are doing....
The Giants receiver said those messages embody the people who elected Donald Trump president. MORE: Sports figures who supported Donald Trump “I think it’s definitely a direct reflection of how this country’s being run and how this country’s reacting maybe to some of the decisions, some of the ways that this country’s being run and things that are being said by people at the helm of this country and at the helm of our day-to-day lives — our day-to-day from social media all the way up to the White House,” Cruz said, via the New York Daily News....
However, Giants coach Joe Judge wouldn’t take the blame for the poor clock management. He explained after the game that the issues were technological. “The headsets were going out,” Judge said to reporters, per NJ.com. “This has been happening in every game so far. We deal with the league and they keep telling us about different software updates or whatever it is.” NFL TRADE DEADLINE: Latest rumors, news, reported trades...
Wentz led back-to-back touchdown drives late in the fourth quarter, the game-winning score coming on an inch-perfect throw to running back Boston Scott with 40 seconds remaining to give the Eagles the margin of victory in their 22-21 triumph. Those two drives came after three straight three-and-outs and a turnover on downs near the goal line by the offense in the second half. The Eagles, down 14-10 early in the fourth quarter after an 80-yard run by Daniel Jones set up a Wayne Gallman TD rush, went for it on fourth-and-goal from the 3 but Wentz’s pass fell incomplete....
In fact, my experience teaching both in New York City and in a small international school in East Africa taught me how wrong this view is. My job in East Africa was educating the children of privileged westerners and upper middle class Africans. I was the only English teacher, which meant that the school placed all of our eleventh and twelfth grade cohorts into AP Literature and AP Language classes; the tuition was so exorbitant we couldn’t get away with not making the only option an advanced one....

General manager Brian Cashman had said after the team missed the playoffs for the second time since 1992 that the Yankees wanted to keep Girardi, whose name was mentioned for the Cubs opening in his native Illinois. The 48-year-old Girardi said it would be up to his family if he returned. He was completing his second three-year deal with New York since taking over for Joe Torre after the 2007 season....
The deal is worth a reported $66 million, an $8.25 million annual cap hit. MORE: Top goal scorers among active players | Big deal raises expectations for Couturier That’s a significant raise for Voracek, who counted $4.25 million against the cap while leading the Flyers in scoring last season.

He and other Fortune 500 companies had better get in the know. These days practically any search for a company by name will turn up ““anti’’ Web sites created by angry customers, disgruntled ex-employees, crusading activists and a handful of kooks. A Yahoo! search under ““consumer opinion’’ found 87 matches, including pages like Down with Snapple, Macy’s is an (Alleged) Criminal Organization, WalMart Sucks.com and Packard Bell is Evil....
“The Folsom dam has been doing really well, to the point where we’ve had to make what are referred to as flood control releases,” Ernest Conant, regional director of the California branch of the U.S Bureau for Reclamation, told Newsweek. “The other reservoirs are doing well too, but not to the degree that we are at Folsom and on the American River.” The Folsom Dam and Reservoir is located approximately 23 miles northeast of Sacramento....
Philadelphia. The Ninth Street produce market is the source for everything Italian in the City of Brotherly Love. When in Rome, do as the Romans do: grab a cheese steak from Gino’s or Pat’s. Providence. People speaking Italian on the streets and the piazza outside Venda Ravioli make Providence the real deal. You got a problem with that? San Francisco. A taste of the cuisine in North Beach will transport you to the Ligurian coast....
The position is still Jalen Hurts’ to lose. MORE: Tide still looking for lessons from Clemson loss “To me Jalen Hurts played very, very well last year,” Saban told ESPN after the game. “He was a really good player for us. Somebody’s got to beat him out.” It’s important to note that Saban didn’t just comment on his quarterback’s play in the spring: He preemptively jumped to Hurts’ defense from the 2016 season, which didn’t exactly end well for the true freshman....
It was only in June when he broke off his very Rex-ian boast, and now it’s August, and the match under his coaching seat had been replaced by a blowtorch. The Bills’ season is hurtling in the wrong direction, and if this is not now a win-or-else season for him, someone in charge in Buffalo needs to explain why. For what it’s worth, the general manager who was in on hiring him, Doug Whaley, has to have his job at stake, too....
There were hundreds of prophets—famous and obscure—whose predictions about Trump being restored to his rightful place in the White House provided a theological framework for the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The smoke had barely cleared when a few of the prophets repented for being wrong. Their websites and Facebook feeds were inundated with vulgarities, recriminations and even death threats. Jeremiah Johnson, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based prophet who said Trump would win in 2020, admitted on January 7 that he was wrong and said he got “multiple death threats” and “thousands” of angry emails....
That’s the way he’s looked at it for a long time whenever he hasn’t won the championship, which means every one of his nine Cup seasons. And in some ways, he probably still does. But finishing fourth in the Cup standings — the best points finish of his career — at least shows that Busch can grind through the disappointment of falling out of Chase contention and still produce a solid finish....
Humanity is losing the race to beat back catastrophic climate change. Yet the Arava region’s solar success serves as a prophetic rebuke to those who claim that going 100 percent green energy is not technically feasible, economically advantageous or would take decades. The technology and economics are here; missing is moral climate leadership. Climate hope may not come from the 27th gathering of world leaders on the issue but instead from a nearby place of paramount spiritual power....
