The latest foggy performance came in London, in Sunday's 34-27 loss to a Minnesota team as desperate as the Steelers going into Week 4 at 0-3. Seeing how the Vikings did it -- pounding away with the rushing attack for big chunks of yards, coming up with key sacks and takeaways -- had to be a particular source of frustration for Tomlin.

Enzo Amore released WWE immediately suspended Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore on Monday when news surfaced that he was facing sexual assault allegations. Less than 24 hours later, WWE announced that it had “come to terms on the release of Eric Arndt (Enzo Amore).” MORE: WWE Royal Rumble 2018 predictions WWE has a zero tolerance policy regarding sexual harassment or sexual assault prompting Amore’s immediate suspension. But the company was blindsided when it learned that the Phoenix police department has been investigating the allegations since last October....
Hardys and Impact Wrestling battle Not only were the Hardys upset about the way their negotiations with Impact Wrestling went down, which led to them parting ways with the company, there is still an ongoing fight between the two sides. Impact Wrestling claims that it has the right to the “Broken Universe” and the characters, including “Broken” Matt Hardy, Brother Nero and even Senor Benjamin. Just hours before the Hardys appeared on the Ring of Honor 15th anniversary pay-per-year, Impact management sent a cease and desist letter to ROH along with cable and PPV providers warning them that it owned the rights to the gimmick....
Once the rarefied realm of weapons makers and code breakers, supercomputing now faces a defining moment. Egged on by a new government need for computing power, this exotic technology is leaving the “nukes and spooks” for more everyday uses. Researchers and commercial customers are running everything from digital simulations to salary databases on machines that rely not on expensive custom microchips but off-the-shelf technology. In short, supercomputing is getting down to business....
The anger is particularly intense because many civil-rights leaders see Bush (who lost the popular vote and won only 9 percent of the black vote) as something of a pretender to the throne. They sincerely believe the election was stolen, that their huge investments in voter registration and mobilization were undermined by an unfair result. And they resent Bush acting as if he has a mandate to toss aside their concerns, especially when it comes to the nation’s chief law-enforcement official, whose portfolio encompasses everything from voting rights to hate crimes to police brutality to criminal-justice policy....
Sexual escapades have become a Tory epidemic. Last fall, trying to reinvigorate his beleaguered government, Prime Minister John Major grasped at a trite phrase: “back to basics.” It wasn’t clear what, if anything, be actually meant by the term; most Britons assumed it had something to do with “family values.” But even cliches seem to backfire on Major these days. Milligan’s death was the latest in a series of scandals that have made Major’s preaching sound like “two-faced nonsense,” as the Daily Mirror put it....
Golovkin (39-1-1) will attempt to become a two-time world champion in New York on Saturday against Ukraine’s Sergiy Derevyanchenko (13-1). Join DAZN to watch GGG vs. Derevyanchenko & 100+ fight nights a year The 37-year-old Kazakhstani’s old IBF belt is on the line having been vacated by Alvarez after the Mexican prevailed via a majority decision in their second fight last year. As with an initial split-decision draw in 2017, many observers felt Golovkin did enough to get the verdict, meaning plenty of appetite remains for a trilogy....
After a three-day hiatus, Maxwell’s lawyers began making their case at the 59-year-old’s trial. Called to the stand was an expert on “false memories,” former employees of Maxwell, government officials, and travel agents. But none appeared to be able to provide anything substantial that could overwhelmingly aid Maxwell’s defense. Maxwell is accused of recruiting and grooming underage girls for the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein between 1994 and 2004, and faces six counts of sex trafficking....
“If I’m asked, I’ll do it,” Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton told reporters Friday before the Marlins’ 5-0 loss at the Reds on Friday. MORE: Verlander regrets allowing A-Rod’s 3000th | Royals’ All-Star takeover could cost team $1 mil But the reigning NL home run leader hasn’t fared too well at Great American Ball Park, the site of this season’s All-Star Game. Stanton has just five homers in 69 at-bats there going into Saturday’s game against the Reds....
He capped off his sixth-year with MVP honors, but the Milwaukee star says he has yet to reach his full potential. “There’s a lot of things I can improve on,” Antetokounmpo told ESPN over the weekend. “First of all, [I have to] look at myself before I look at anybody else. Try to self-improve as much as possible. There are a lot of things that I got to work on in my game....
The enormous snake was caught by three amateur hunters in Collier County and may be one of the biggest ever found in the state, Wink News reported. Burmese pythons are an invasive species in Florida. They were first introduced to the environment in the 1970s—likely as exotic pets released into the wild. Ever since, they have been severely impacting the native ecosystem as they feast on native wildlife, such as white tailed deer, causing a major issue in preserving the wetlands....
An NIWA team was on an expedition to survey New Zealand’s most valuable commercial fish species, the hoki, in the Chatham Rise—a large area of ocean east of the country—when they made an unexpected find. On the morning of January 21, the crew aboard the Tangaroa research vessel pulled up a trawl net from a depth of 1,450 feet, only to discover that they had inadvertently caught a giant squid....
The Odessa Animal Control was called to the store to safely remove the serpent. Walmart employees and the snake remained unharmed. What breed the snake was remains unclear. This isn’t the first time a snake was discovered at a Walmart in Texas. In June 2019, a Marshall, Texas, police officer captured a snake in a Walmart parking lot. According to KSLA, Officer Rigsby stopped the creature from slithering around the lot after it had prevented a woman from entering her truck....
The duo of Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper is somewhat unusual in that both men are former players, although it’s certainly not unprecedented. The best play-by-play man in NFL history, Pat Summerall, was a player before he became a broadcaster, and like Summerall, Krukow and Kuiper have lent their voices to video games for EA Sports. Unlike some entries in this series, listening to Krukow and Kuiper is not an unfamiliar experience, and not just because of the video game connection....
San Francisco’s protest of the umpires’ decision to call the rain-delayed game after 4 1/2 innings was upheld Wednesday. The game will resume at 5:05 p.m. ET Thursday. The contest will be picked up with no outs in the bottom of the fifth inning and the Cubs leading, 2-0. The teams’ regularly scheduled night game will follow. The umpiring crew called the game at 2:16 a.m. ET Wednesday after a 4 1/2-hour delay which was caused by the Cubs grounds crew’s inability to cover the field properly during a brief downpour....
The San Francisco Giants collapsed after leading MLB at the All-Star break, but the club avoided a worst-case scenario after sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers Sunday at AT&T Park to clinch the second wild-card spot. Behind eight innings of three-hit ball from southpaw Matt Moore, the Giants topped the Dodgers 7-1 and will face the Mets in New York on Wednesday as the club looks for a third consecutive World Series title in even-numbered years....
Despite their atrocious starts, both Philly and New York would vault to the top of the historically bad NFC East with a win tonight. The entire division has only five wins, exactly half of the total wins of the next-worst division. Six individual teams have as many wins as the entire NFC East, and with 2-4 Dallas losing franchise QB Dak Prescott in Week 5, there’s never been a better time for the Eagles or Giants to make history as the first playoff team with a 6-10 record....
The Giants, leading 20-12, watched the Commanders quickly march down the field in the final two minutes, but their defense didn’t break. New York held Washington out of the end zone in the final minute, with a pair of crucial decisions by the officials sealing a monumental win in the Giants’ struggle to earn their first playoff berth since 2016. An illegal formation penalty on wide receiver Terry McLaurin erased what would have been a touchdown by Brian Robinson Jr....
