Buck describes Pereira as both a “weapon” and a “security blanket” for Fox’s NFL game coverage. An ace-in-the-hole that rival TV networks such as CBS Sports, NBC Sports and ESPN can’t match. MORE: NFL players who could break out in 2016 His analyst partner, Troy Aikman, agrees: “Now almost every sport has a guy like Mike. Of course, nobody’s as good as our guy.” You can say that again....
Dobbs’ comments seemed to take a sharp turn from the opinion he held of Barr on Wednesday when he claimed the attorney general was “doing the Lord’s work.” Dobbs, a vocal supporter of Trump, may have changed his mind after hearing Barr’s statements that he wished the president wouldn’t tweet about cases the Department of Justice is involved with. “To have public statements made about the department or the people in the department, our men and women here, about cases pending in the department and about judges before whom we have cases,” Barr said, “make it impossible for me to do my job and to assure the courts and the prosecutors within the department that we’re doing our work with integrity....
Some have accused the crowd limit rule of hypocrisy in allowing larger crowds to gather in some contexts but not others. This includes musicians who will no longer be able to perform in front of stand-up crowds, leading some performers to joke that they will refer to their concerts as political rallies in order to be able to perform for larger crowds. Tourism Minister Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne told RMC radio Thursday that the government made a “distinction between static gatherings and places where there is movement” in deciding what gatherings were exempt to the rule, French broadcaster RFI reported....
Tactician Deschamps removed two of his stars before the break in a desperate attempt to swing the momentum of a game that started terribly for the reigning champions. Messi fired in a penalty to become the first player to score in every round of a single edition of the tournament and Angel Di Maria swept in a second, as France’s opponents flew out of the traps. Here’s what Deschamps did next, as the 1998 World Cup winner as a player turned to his bench and prayed for a rapid reaction....
FIFA Men’s Best Player Robert Lewandowski scored his first ever World Cup goal on his 77th international appearance in Poland’s crucial 2-0 win over Saudi Arabia in their second game, but the side he captains had only two shots on target in their goalless draw with Mexico and none in their 2-0 defeat to Argentina. Les Bleus have had no such concerns, scoring six times across their victories over Australia and Denmark to afford themselves the luxury of resting players in a 1-0 defeat to Tunisia that did not deny them top spot in Group D....

If PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe is at his best then it could make all the difference for Les Bleus, and there is plenty of other international experience also in Didier Deschamps’ talented squad. France won the 2020-2021 UEFA Nations League by beating Spain in the final and if they can perform as a cohesive unit then they will certainly be amongst the leading contenders for glory again in Qatar....
Gore explained in a recent interview with TMZ Sports that he is enjoying his time off the field, especially the time he has spent with his family. “I had three opportunities to play this year, but once I didn’t go to training camp and saw all the time I missed with my kids — I kind of looked at it differently,” he said. “I missed a lot of my oldest son’s [Frank Gore Jr....
Allen, 31, publicly threatened retirement this offseason. If that was a ploy to get the right deal, it worked. A reported $32 million was enough for the NFC North rival Bears to dissuade Allen—and his 128.5 career sacks—to stay in the NFL a while longer. It was reported last week that Allen was close to signing with the Seahawks, but no agreement was reached. Allen posted the following message to his Facebook page Wednesday afternoon: I’d like to take a moment to thank my former teammates, coaches and the staff at the Minnesota Vikings for all of their inspiring work and dedication....
It’s difficult to believe that now that Ozuna has become one of baseball’s more enigmatic, frustrating talents while Yelich has taken off as a leading MVP candidate. In 2017, Ozuna slashed .312/.376/.548 and Yelich slashed .282/.369/.439 for Miami. Ozuna was worth 6.1 wins over replacement, according to Baseball Reference, and Yelich was worth 4.2 WAR. Ozuna, 28, will enter free agency this offseason. His up-and-down career makes it difficult to evaluate his value on the open market, or what he can provide St....
At least three pitchers will exceed that number in the coming months. Max Scherzer and Jon Lester are no-doubt aces who will easily crack the $100-million barrier, and James Shields will sign well north of Garza’s total, too. And, as always, there are potential bargains and potential busts in this year’s free-agent mix. Some pitchers come attached with draft-pick compensation (which kicks in when they reject their team’s one-year qualifying offer of $15....
The Liverpool and Egypt winger has been a sensation since his summer arrival at Anfield, delivering 36 goals in all competitions for the Reds this year, and has more than justified the €42 million the Anfield outfit paid Roma for his services. Salah’s 28 Premier League goals, including his four last weekend against Watford, have him topping England’s charts and have put Liverpool’s all-time single season goalscorer Ian Rush, who once netted 47 for the Reds, in his sights....
Now with things about to get underway, all eyes will be on the “King of Clay,” Rafael Nadal, as he goes for his 14th title — and fifth consecutive — at Roland Garros. If he wins the tournament, he will break a tie with Roger Federer for most men’s Grand Slam titles. The duo is tied at 20.

In the fevered ’80s, Frida Kahlo’s posthumous performance in the auction pit last week would have met with a resounding “Eh?” But this is the New Art World Order: recession. More than a third of the works under the gavel at Christie’s failed to meet their minimums. So it was no mean feat for “Self-Portrait with Loose Hair” (a small 1947 painting last sold in 1983 for $85,000) to fetch a record $1....

Vizsla dogs Ralph and Bruno can’t hold in their excitement when their house’s garbage men visit every Monday in Nottinghamshire, England. The dogs’ owner regularly shares videos of their brief encounters, through the living room window, and melts hearts each time. Their latest viral video hit over one million views, and took viewers through a rollercoaster of emotions. Uploaded in July, the video captured the heartbreak-turned-heartwarming moment the dogs briefly thought they’d been forgotten about....
Dozens of them got out of their wheelchairs, set down their crutches and crawled up the 83 stone steps of the Capitol. Jennifer Keelan, an eight-year-old with cerebral palsy, pulled herself to the top of those steps, telling those around her: “I’ll take all night if I have to.” It’s thanks to the strength of people like Jennifer that the logjam in Congress was broken, and that thirty years ago today, the Americans with Disabilities Act was finally enshrined into law, helping Americans with disabilities lead the full lives we deserve....
Prior to the pandemic, there was a major initiative within the higher education policy world that focused on increasing the percentage of Americans who held some type of postsecondary credential to at least 60%. The push was the result of the United States, one of the world’s wealthiest and most advanced economies, requiring more advanced skills training, a shift from previous generations’ ability to secure a middle-class lifestyle with just a high school diploma....
Lynn, who died last week at her ranch in Tennessee at the age of 90, left Butcher Hollow, the real name of her hometown, but Butcher Hollow never left her. She was born Loretta Webb in the small Kentucky mining town in 1932, one of eight children. Her family had little money, but she had fond memories of home, especially her father. “Even though he died before I got started singing, I had almost 14 years of Daddy giving me love and security,” Lynn wrote....
