The Mueller report looked into possible Russian election interference and connections to former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. The three-judge panel sided with a lower court judge in choosing to keep certain parts of the report redacted, the AP reported. But other passages that the Justice Department had requested to keep hidden to protect the privacy rights of the people in question can be unveiled because the “personally identifying information alleged to be contained in the redacted passages is available elsewhere in the Report,” Judge Karen Henderson said in the opinion....

Mendenhall already knows the Cougars are “that team.” That team that should go undefeated. That team that doesn’t have a ranked opponent left on the schedule. That team that doesn’t play in a Power 5 conference. That team that will put the playoff committee in its first uncomfortable situation. That team that doesn’t quite fit. Get ready for this question for the next nine weeks: Does an undefeated BYU team deserve to be in the College Football Playoff?...

The comedian and talk show host slammed the Games in his closing monologue on the latest episode of HBO’s Real Time. He recalled how, last April, he had branded the theme of the 2021 Academy Awards “we dare you to be entertained” after a show in which he felt producers refused to let viewers take a break from “thinking about sad things and bad people in the world.” He suggested the Olympics was following a similar route....

Last week the team’s dire prediction was about the only thing Judge Jackson vindicated as he ruled against Microsoft on three of the four antitrust charges and outlined the “violence that Microsoft has done to the competitive process.” In addition, a posse of state attorneys general remains on the warpath.

Lucas had made his second start for KU in that meek Big Monday loss to Iowa State. He scored two points. He’d gone scoreless in the first. So he was averaging 1.0 points per game as a starter.

The “Bad Guy” singer faced backlash last week when a compilation video emerged that apparently displayed the musician using the pejorative against people of Chinese descent and also speaking in an offensive accent.

“I’m not anti- or pro-vax. I’m pro choice,” Beasley said in his statement. “With that being said, the issue at hand is information being withheld from players in order for a player to be swayed in a direction he may not be comfortable with. When dealing with a player’s health and safety, there should be complete transparency regarding information that is vital in the decision-making process.” Beasley asked reporters to stick to football questions during the news conference, but the song released afterward containing lyrics that said there “ain’t a vaccine” for him have called into question the sincerity of his statement....
