The Giants said Beason passed his physical. "It's amazing," Beason said in a Giants press release. "It doesn't happen (often) with midseason trades. But the one place I said if I wasn't in Carolina where I wanted to be was with a great organization like the Giants with a winning tradition, leadership, a 4-3 scheme where I can come in right now. I think I can really come out and impact the season....
From there, the teams headed out to midfield for the coin flip, after which Burfict refused to shake hands with the Steelers’ captains, according to SN’s Alex Marvez. The players he snubbed were Roosevelt Nix, Ben Roethlisberger and Cam Heyward. That ended up not being Burfict’s only encounter with Nix in the game. On the second play, Burfict kicked Nix in the head. He also engaged with Nix later in the game, apparently trying to shove the fullback....
Facing a three-point deficit with only five seconds to play Monday night against the Chargers, the Steelers had to make a call at the 1-yard line: kick the field goal and head to overtime, or go for the end zone. Pittsburgh lined up in the Wildcat — a formation the boys in black and gold utilized throughout the game — and gave the ball directly to Le’Veon Bell, who stretched just enough to give the Steelers a 24-20 walkoff win....

U.N. peacekeepers had hoodwinked the Serbs–by pulling their blue-helmeted potential hostages out of harm’s way. The last British troops left Gorazde a full day before the first F-16 bombing runs. The Bosnian Serbs made up the shortfall by issuing a rare invitation to journalists, then detaining them as they pitched up at the border town of Zvornik. I was among six who took up the suspicious offer, and we were soon locked up in a military barracks....
Physicians are often forced to make critical treatment decisions in states of partial ignorance. Groopman shows us how easily their small errors in judgment can cause harm, and he advances a sensible prescription for avoiding it. The physician can’t rely solely on his own knowledge or intuition, he writes, but must join “his intuition with that of his patient.” The characters in Groopman’s clinical tales (real doctors given fictional names and affiliations) are constantly forgetting that lesson....
The league has now come up with specific guidelines for coin tosses at the start of the game and overtime. The new rule mandates that the if the coin doesn’t turn over at least once, there will be a re-toss. The original call from the visiting team’s captain (heads or tails) will still stand.

At the core of Section 230 is personal responsibility. The law states that you—not the service you use to share content—are responsible for what you post. There are a few exceptions, but by and large Section 230 leaves the responsibility for online posts with the appropriate agent: the user. The law embraces the freedom of speech and association. In the United States we are fortunate enough to enjoy a freedom of speech unmatched by any other country....
At a safe house in Beirut’s predominantly Shiite southern suburb of Dahiya last week, the Hizbullah commander triumphantly showed a NEWSWEEK reporter photographs from the clashes that he had taken on his cell phone. Yet the militant—sporting a green Dolce & Gabbana baseball cap, wraparound sunglasses and a Browning pistol tucked into his jeans—believes “we’re still in a state of war.” The commander says Hizbullah is also prepared for renewed fighting with Israel....
LeBron James and the Cavaliers have agreed to play the Pacers in an exhibition game at Xavier University’s Cintas Center on October 15, according to the Pacers’ preseason schedule. The game will also be a homecoming of sorts for Pacers power forward David West.

Following President Donald Trump’s cancellation of the Warriors’ possible White House visit and his continuous criticism of NFL players protesting racial injustice and police brutality, NBA players and coaches faced questions about their feelings on Trump and taking political action as professional athletes. LeBron James, who called Trump a “bum” after the president’s tweet about Stephen Curry and the Warriors, was the most vocal of anyone and didn’t back down from his original comment....
And still he did not make entirely clear why he was bothered by the political statement made by Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, leaving others to parse James’ words — which, given how he has exalted himself, many are only too eager to do. “Yes, we all do have freedom of speech, but at times, there are ramifications for the negative that can happen when you’re not thinking about others and you only think about yourself,” James said Monday night....

MORE: Early-season surprises and disappointments Resting players early in the season is a good way to keep them healthy and fresh for games that matter. It also is unfortunate because teams tend to do this for road games — only Aldridge of those five is skipping a home game — meaning that fans in other NBA cities miss out on some of the best talents in the NBA. So what do we do about this problem?...

“I know I don’t play baseball, but I am in Sports and I know if someone cheated me out of winning the title and I found out about it I would be f—ing irate!,” the L.A. Lakers star tweeted.
