Oh, goody. MORE: Tom Brady best ever | Seahawks favorites for SB 50 | Wilson: “We thought we had ’em.” This tweet is ridiculous for several reasons. There’s the simple fact that it looks a bit like sour grapes. The Patriots are the Super Bowl champs, but the reference is more tongue-in-cheek than genuine, so it can slide. There’s also the question of why a police department needs to be using Twitter in such a manner....
In a press release published on Monday, members of Lawyers for Civil Rights (LCR), the Center for Law and Education (CLE) and the Multicultural Education, Training and Advocacy group (META) accused Boston Public Schools (BPS) of allowing more than 100 student incident reports containing students’ personal information to be shared with U.S. immigration authorities since 2014. BPS’ “entanglement with ICE,” LCR attorney Janelle Dempsey said, has effectively been enabling a “dangerous school-to-deportation pipeline” that puts students at risk....
Sure, the visitors put the Rangers in an early 3-0 hole, and one could argue that it was accomplishment enough that the home side rallied to tie the score by late in the third period. Or it can be argued an extremely debatable goaltender interference call in the second period unfairly wiped out a Rangers goal, helping keep them from securing two more points in the standings. In the end, though, it was a rare loss of late for a team that has won 10 of 13 overall and saw an eight-game home-ice winning streak snapped, one in which the Rangers displayed some of their best traits as a team, and some of their worst, all within the confines of one 60-minute game....
No. 3 Georgia beat No. 2 Oklahoma 54-48 in a double-overtime Rose Bowl thriller, and No. 4 Alabama beat down No. 1 Clemson 24-6 in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. That makes the SEC the big winner, as it will have an all-conference championship game for the second time this decade. One of those teams will be the ultimate winner of bowl season, but we’re ready to hand out the best of the winners and losers from the rest of the games....
In addition to the minimalist announcements, the military avoids keeping any sort of running tallies, particularly when things are going badly. The Pentagon has also studiously refused to release estimates of enemy casualties, although these are indeed detailed in every after-action report. “We don’t do body counts,” was the explanation of Gen. Tommy Franks, the CENTCOM commander when the war began. The American military is mindful of Vietnam, where the estimates of Viet Cong and North Vietnamese killed, released on a daily basis, proved a huge embarrassment when someone with a calculator figured out that the entire male population of Vietnam had been exterminated, at least on paper....
Leicester confirm Ranieri support The former pound-for-pound king is due to visit the cities of Leicester, Liverpool and London next month when he will be interviewed on stage by former cruiserweight world champion Johnny Nelson.

Chapek is facing harsh scrutiny on social media after declaring in a memo that The Walt Disney Company “unequivocally” stands with its LGBTQ+ employees, but wouldn’t directly condemn the controversial bill making its way through the Florida legislature. “We are committed to creating a more inclusive company—and world. I understand that the very need to reiterate that commitment means we still have more work to do,” Chapek said in an internal memo to staff on Monday....
The Job Creators Network Foundation, founded by Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, supported two student borrowers who argued in court that the administration’s plan was unlawful, while the judge in the case blocked it. Many Twitter users joined calls to boycott Home Depot because of Marcus’ association with the Job Creators Network Foundation. Tweets with the hashtag “#BoycottHomeDepot” have been posted for several days and continued into early Friday morning....
But, of course, the big news here was the reveal of the final at-large teams. SMU, Florida State, Green Bay and Georgetown were the first four teams out. The lowest at-large team in this region is, in fact, ninth-seeded George Washington, which seems odd. You have auto bids at 10 (Saint Joseph’s), 11 (Providence), 12 (Harvard) and 13 (Delaware). Seed-wise, I thought North Carolina would get a 5 and Cincy, UConn and Michigan State might be a line up, but that’s not a big deal....
Madonna spoke negatively about her Rochester Hills, Mich., upbringing in a Howard Stern interview Wednesday, saying she never fit in and felt out of place in the high-income surroundings. “Have you ever been to Rochester, Michigan?” she said. " … I just didn’t want to go back. I can’t, no, I can’t be around basic, provincial-thinking people." Keselowski, who also lived in a poorer neighborhood in metro Detroit, offered his response to the interview on Friday via Twitter:...
Keselowski, in talking about the crash during the NASCAR awards week in Las Vegas, was asked about his role at Texas, more the move he made to try to squeeze between Gordon and Jimmie Johnson than the post-race fight between his team and Gordon’s.

The Celtics coach addressed yet another round of IU-related rumors during Tuesday’s edition of 98.5 The Sportshub’s “Zolak And Bertrand” show. Stevens, an Indiana native who led Butler to multiple Final Four appearances before jumping to the NBA, saw his name thrown into the news cycle after the Hoosiers fired Archie Miller on Monday, but he wants to make it clear that he is not interested in a sudden career change....
I feel compelled to speak to speak from my own experience, and from my heart. I was a professional basketball player for the New York Knicks. From September to May for 10 years, I traveled across America with the team. Basketball was our work, and we did it every day–together. Day in and day out, we lived together, ate together, rode buses together, talked together, laughed together and, of course, played together....
With Miralem Pjanic set to miss the match with a red card, Rudi Garcia is almost assuredly going to turn to his American option in the Roma midfield, and Bradley will need to really turn in a strong showing to keep getting opportunities for a Roma side that has slipped to second place in Serie A after a recent run of draws. Bradley was limited to a stoppage-time substitute’s appearance in Roma’s win against Fiorentina last week....

Before he took the mound for that toss, he took a few minutes to talk wrestling, baseball and powerlifting on “ChangeUp,” DAZN’s nightly MLB show. Strowman had a co-star for his segment: Astros outfielder and wrestling superfan Josh Reddick.
