The reality television star posted a series of appeals on Twitter prior to his urging Donald Trump to grant him clemency. “I’m so messed up right now. They killed Brandon.” Kardashian tweeted Friday. “He was such a reformed person. So hopeful and positive until the end.

The Illinois congressman, in response to Colorado GOP Representative Lauren Boebert, tweeted, “Trust me here, nobody is afraid of Madison [Cawthorn]. Unless you’re a rotted out tree (seriously google that people). Literally you have all built your skills/intimidation up in your own head.” Boebert’s original message said, “Rachel Maddow is terrified of debating Madison Cawthorn. They know they can’t win when faced with conservative ideas, so they have to keep their sad echo chamber going....

The Republican Kinzinger has repeatedly slammed Carlson over his remarks about Putin and Russia, accusing the Fox News host of aligning with the Kremlin. Clips of the Fox News host and his show have repeatedly been used by Russian state-run media in the lead up to the invasion and amid the ongoing war.

“He’s going to coach you and be hard on you,” says quarterback Stetson Bennett. “We kind of expect that.” “It is hard sometimes,” said linebacker Jamon Dumas-Johnson. “He is very critical of what you do. Coaching you every moment of the day, every rep, every single second of practice. He makes it hard for you. But for games like this, it will make it easy for you.” Smart has the reputation of eating, drinking and sleeping football 24 hours a day, and those within the Georgia program this week did nothing to dispel that notion....

The Vikings receiver was critical of his quarterback after finishing Minnesota’s 16-6 loss at Chicago with just two catches, telling reporters after the game: “You have to be able to throw the ball.” Cousins couldn’t agree more. “No, like he said, it’s reality,” Cousins said Tuesday on KFAN. “I really want to apologize to him because there’s too many opportunities where we could have hit him on Sunday, and postgame when I talk to the media I always say, ‘Hey, until I watch the film, it’s hard for me to really give you a straight answer....

With the fixture at Estadio El Teniente falling outside a designated international window, both teams are largely without their contingents of foreign-based players. For the U.S., that means going without the likes of Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan, Stoke City defender Geoff Cameron and Nantes midfielder Alejandro Bedoya. A total of eight uncapped players have been included in Klinsmann’s 23-man squad, but the addition this week of Tottenham fullback DeAndre Yedlin — one of only two Europe-based players set to take part on Wednesday — will have come as a welcome boost....

The 50-year-old has managed Mainz, Borussia Dortmund and now Liverpool in an illustrious career that has seen him win two Bundesliga titles, a DFB Pokal and a pair of DFB Super Cups, along with managing in both a Europa League and Champions League final. Klopp is a round away from repeating the latter this season, as he has the Reds in the Champions League semi-finals up against Serie A side Roma....

The attacker was booked in the first half for diving and was then in the centre of a storm in the second when he handled the ball on the ground in an attempt to win a free kick. Referee Neil Swarbrick awarded the set piece instead to Palace but chose not to show the Senegal international attacker a second yellow, despite penalising him for deliberate handball. In the second period, the controversy over the call grew as Mane levelled the match....

The England international has played just one minute of senior football this season, appearing as a late substitute against Chelsea in November. Lallana has had to contend with a persistent thigh problem and, although he has been in training for over a month, he is still a little off the pace.

City sit atop the Premier League table having scored 29 goals in their opening eight matches as well as recording victories in Champions League matches with Feyenoord and Shakhtar Donetsk. City 15/2 to win Champions League Liverpool are one of the sides that City have swept aside after they recorded a 5-0 win over the Reds in September, with Klopp’s side struggling for form thereafter. But the former Borussia Dortmund boss was quick to defend his team after a run of just one win from their last eight matches ahead of Tuesday’s clash with Maribor, claiming his side cannot be blamed for the defeat to City that sparked their poor period of results....

“It feels strange, it feels wrong. We played offensive football, dominant football, possession football how it should be. We created moments. You cannot create in each situation a finishing situation, but we did it absolutely often enough. It could have been more often, of course, because with one better decision here or there then we would have had a few more.” Liverpool 20/1 to win CL Those were Jurgen Klopp’s words after the 1-1 draw with Sean Dyche’s side on Saturday, but you’d be forgiven for thinking it was his post-match musings from the King Power Stadium, where Liverpool crashed out of the League Cup....
