How wild is it that this viral YouTube video has only grown more popular over the years? So much so that now it’s a movie! Life actually does accumulate, it turns out, tiny moment by tiny moment. So Marcel, in different ways, has always felt incredibly important, boundary-breaking and self-affirming, to me. It’s just come in different waves of experience. This wave right now is that a lot of people are about to see it as a proper film....

No. 5 Notre Dame (6-0) meets No. 2 Florida State (6-0) in Tallahassee on Saturday in a game that will go a long way in determining one of the spots in the first four-team College Football Playoff. It starts with the quarterbacks. Jameis Winston is 19-0 as Florida State’s starter despite battling constant controversy off the field. Notre Dame’s Everett Golson is 16-1 as Notre Dame’s starter, and has recovered nicely after being kicked off the team for academic reasons last season....

This week, it’s Notre Dame at FSU in a game that will give one playoff contender a lift. Also, a couple of one-loss teams in Alabama and TCU have opportunities to pick up big victories and work their way back into the playoff conversation. Check out our picks, how we’ve done so far and see if you agree or disagree with how we see it? Standings after Week 7 Against the spread total (last week)...

“If the standard to play was zero positive tests, then we would have never had a season,” Swinney said to reporters on his weekly teleconference. “This game was not canceled because of COVID. COVID was just an excuse to cancel the game. To be honest with you, I don’t think it has anything to do with their players. I have no doubt that their players wanted to play and would have played....

“Based upon the results of our continuing investigation of Tuesday’s incident involving Jameis Winston, we have decided to not play him for the entire game against Clemson on Saturday night,” interim university president Garnett S. Stokes and athletic director Stan Wilcox said in a joint statement released late Friday night. Winston intially was suspended for just the first half as punishment for shouting an obscene comment on campus. He later apologized to the university, coaches and teammates, saying he committed a “selfish act....

Police say Wilson was stopped as he rode a motor scooter days after it was reported stolen on campus June 11. Wilson said a friend loaned him the vehicle. An investigation ensued, and Wilson was later arrested and charged with third-degree grand motor theft. He turned himself in Wednesday and was freed on $2,500 bond. FSU spokesman Rob Wilson said the athletics department’s code of conduct forbids a player from representing the team when charged with a felony....

The fourth teaser was released Wednesday and previewed the start of the full trailer we’ll see August 1st when Season 10 (or Season X) starts. But it appears Fortnite’s Brazil account accidentally uploaded the full video instead of the teaser, and that video has now been made available online. UPDATE: After the leak accident, it appears Epic Games decided to let everyone view it and released the trailer in full HD....

Hamlin led 189 of the 407 laps, while 16 cautions ate up 89 laps.

In the speech, Biden addressed plans to reopen the country and come out of the pandemic. He outlined his goals of allowing Americans to celebrate the Independence Day holiday with their family and friends. Biden also extended his sympathies to families that have lost loved ones or their jobs. Biden also promised to increase the number of places where people can get vaccinated, and his goal of lifting the restrictions on who can get a vaccine by May 1....

The center back has long been a contentious figure in the Spain ranks because of his public backing of Catalan independence, as well as his perceived part in past squabbling between Barcelona and Real Madrid players. Pique also came under fire from the press during Sunday’s 2-0 win over Albania, with some claiming he had cut the regulation short-sleeved jersey in order to remove the trim on the shirts that bears the design of the Spanish flag....

A torn and frayed Woody (voice of Tom Hanks) is once again at the endangered center of the story. While his beloved lord and master, Andy, is off at camp, Woody is kidnapped by the odious, obese and obsessive toy collector Al (Wayne Knight), owner of Al’s Toy Barn. Woody had no idea how valuable he was! Turns out he was the star of a ’50s TV show called “Woody’s Roundup” (re-created here in all its black-and-white kinescope glory), which was rendered obsolete by Sputnik....

In a viral post shared on on the r/AmItheA****** subreddit in November under the username u/rsvpthrpw, the bride explained that she and her husband got married a few weeks ago. To keep the event private they only gave plus ones to married couples or guests they knew well. According to Vogue, wedding etiquette dictates that all wedding guests should receive a plus one, and this should be included in the invitation....

These visits have become increasingly frequent, leaving the woman feeling “unsettled” at the thought of having a stranger in her home. The dilemma surfaced in a social media post shared to Mumsnet by a user writing under the handle PonderingAIBU, who claims to currently share a property with two lodgers. Renting out a spare room may provide an additional source of income to a homeowner, but it may not always go to plan....

In a post shared on Reddit’s Am I The A****** (AITA) subforum under the username swimmingpoolaita, the mom said her daughter wanted to have a swimming pool in the house when she was 12. “We made an agreement that we would install a pool but that once she was old enough to start working, she would pay us back for half of it. She quickly agreed,” she wrote. The user said her daughter is now 16 years old, working at her first job, and wants to save up for a prom dress....

Now, they are back on the hallowed grounds in Scotland, and fans will be treated to a field that consists of 49 of the world’s top 50 golfers as well as legends like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. After 2022, St. Andrews probably won’t host another iteration of The Open until at least 2027. The honor will fall to other courses across the United Kingdom over the next handful of years instead, as the tournament has 10 courses currently in its hosting rotation....

‘Zlatan has killed his critics’ In something of a coup for Inter, the 20-year-old striker opted for the Nerazzurri in August rather than offers from the likes of Juventus, Atletico Madrid and Leicester City. He has yet to start a competitive match for Inter, though, and has only two substitute appearances to his name. With Inter struggling for consistency under Stefano Pioli, Gabriel’s agent Wagner Ribeiro has criticised the club for not giving the forward a chance and again hinted he could leave on loan in January....

The Queen Scorpions edged Burkina Faso to reach the final stage on away goal rule after a 3-3 aggregate score in their maiden campaign in the competition’s qualifiers. Having eliminated the Burkinabes, the Gambians will have a mountain to climb this time, having the Super Falcons to battle in the quest for their debut continental appearance for Ghana 2018. And the 20-year-old, who scored Gambia’s first and only goal at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup Azerbaijan 2012, admits the uphill task of facing Nigeria but insists they will give their best....

The teams play at Williams-Brice Stadium next Thursday night. Davis has been slowed by several injuries during camp, most recently a rib injury suffered last Saturday. Davis rushed for 1,183 yards last season, the fourth best single-season total in school history. Davis joked about his status Thursday on Twitter, “Y’‘all really think I’m going to miss the first game?” followed by several grinning emoticons. Davis was a second-team all-Southeastern Conference preseason selection....

Liverpool welcome Burnley to Anfield on Sunday and Jurgen Klopp will hope they can avenge their shock defeat at Turf Moor in the reverse fixture. The Reds are making Anfield a fortress again this season and are undefeated in 20 of their last 21 home matches. In contrast Burnley have been awful away from home, they have conceded eight goals in their last five away games and have lost eight of their last nine away matches....

Gary Andersen’s departure from Wisconsin was rather swift and unexpected. With Mike Riley leaving Oregon State to take the Nebraska job, the Badgers head coach didn’t wait more than 24 hours to verbally agree to head back out west to take over the Beavers program. One would think Andersen told members of his immediate family as soon as he accepted the job. But as it turns out, his son, Chasen, a walk-on at Wisconsin, found out at the same time every other football player did....
