This is done to demonstrate to you, the viewer, that Mike Shaw had once been a Big Deal. And it’s a trick. It might as well have been a CGI image from one of those Avengers movies. MORE: NCAA’s ‘sweeping’ reforms dropped the ball on real change When I saw Shaw was ranked No. 9, it struck me like a basketball to the forehead; something was wrong. I was well aware of Shaw as a player on the summer circuit in 2010, when he played for the Mac Irvin Fire at the Peach Jam....

Neither malady was bad enough to keep them from the Miami-Indiana matchup of Eastern Conference powers Wednesday night. James announced about 45 minutes before game time that he will play for the Heat against the Pacers through a twisted left ankle. Vogel's availability to coach Indiana was unknown until about two hours before the game, when it was determined that a stomach ailment wouldn't keep him off the sideline. James twisted his ankle Monday night in victory over Utah and said he got treatment nearly around the clock to play against the Pacers....

Sinisterra limped from the field of play after only 12 minutes with what appeared to be a hamstring injury. In a further blow for the Whites, captain Adam Forshaw was also forced off mid-way through the first half with an unspecified injury. Leeds went ahead early in the second half via Rodrigo’s penalty that was controversially awarded after Joel Ward was adjudged to have fouled Crysencio Summerville. Palace equalised in the 67th minute after Jean Philippe-Mateta was on hand to finish a sweeping counter-attack move from close range, with Jordan Ayew providing the cross....

Paxton is asking the court to order state legislatures in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to throw out the “tainted” election results and select their own slates of presidential electors. The Republican-controlled legislatures could then choose electors who would vote for President Donald Trump. Critics have dismissed the suit as a “publicity stunt” and suggested the Supreme Court won’t even hear the arguments. Paxton claims the four states acted unconstitutionally by violating statutes enacted by the state legislatures....

The Foxes have the same one-goal deficit that they overcame against Sevilla between themselves and a stunning place in the semi-finals, but will face an even sterner test than Jorge Sampaoli’s side this time.

Only 37 percent of respondents told NPR, PBS NewsHour and Marist that they have “a great deal” or “a good amount” of trust in the information they hear from Trump about the coronavirus outbreak. Meanwhile, 60 percent said they were “not very” trusting of what the president has been saying, or “not at all” trusting.

During a recent interview with WebMD, Redfield said that about 47 percent of Americans got a flu shot last year and stressed the importance to get one this year. “I’ve said, if there’s one thing we all can do, besides the importance of wearing a mask, social distancing, hand washing and be smart about gatherings, to basically, ultimately prepare ourselves for the fall is to get the flu vaccine,” Redfield said....

Such a re-conceiving of the Party of Lincoln is a big mistake, and not in terms of policy or even ideology. Setting aside the category error of equating cheese with jeans, there are two serious problems with Jordan’s framing. The first is that there’s nothing morally or electorally better about the working class than the professional class that it purports to replace in the Republican coalition. The meek may inherit the earth, but they don’t have a monopoly on grace or wisdom—or even on swing votes....

Even before the coronavirus crisis upended economies around the world and claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, U.S.-China relations were in a state of semi-despair.

There’s Southampton, nouveau riche, with its multimillion-dollar homes on Gin Lane. (Not to mention scandals, at least one each summer. This year it’s publicist Lizzie Grubman, who “inadvertently” drove her car in reverse at 2 in the morning at the Conscience Point Inn in early July and ran into more than a dozen people.)

But the ratings didn’t reflect the enthusiasm, as Newsweek obtained Nielsen Media Research figures that showed he pulled in an audience share of just 4.4—making his week the least watched of all of the guest hosts.
