Jackson is in the vanguard of what may turn out to be a crucial repositioning of the civil-rights movement. In the past that movement has focused primarily on questions of access, equality and economic empowerment–with law-and-order issues ceded to the political right. Even when civil-rights leaders did address the problem of violent crime, they preferred to talk of white violence against blacks–the bombing of a church in Birmingham, the lynching of Emmett Till....
So, of course the self-proclaimed “hillbilly” simply recorded a video of himself congratulating the Broncos quarterback on the record. MORE: The best photos from Week 10 in the NFL | Peyton Manning owns record books, but it’s not storybook Manning overtook Favre last year for most career touchdown passes. He remains tied with Favre as the NFL’s all-time winningest quarterback, but after throwing four interceptions and getting benched in the 29-13 loss to the Chiefs, it seems like Manning has another Favre record in his sights — most career interceptions....
Whether it was throwing a game-winning TD pass off Antonio Freeman’s back or delivering an unforgettable tribute to his late father, Favre made the most of the moment during his time in Green Bay. Yet it’s the “Monday Night Football” game when he wore a different uniform that drew the highest television ratings. ESPN will re-air the Oct. 5, 2009, matchup between the Vikings and Packers tonight — the first head-to-head matchup between Favre and Aaron Rodgers....
Their mascot is a smiling brew master, their radio broadcaster is a cult sports comedy icon, and they're the only team in Major League Baseball with an official team dog. That's why it's not a surprise that the Brewers organization decided to make a music video to the popular Pharrell Williams hit "Happy." Your browser does not support iframes. If a music video with "Hank the Ballpark Pup" and Bob Uecker don't make you smile, nothing will....
Gamers are put into the position of manager at their chosen club and they must attempt to deliver success on the pitch while carefully navigating the various pitfalls that exist off it. As well as keeping their players happy, virtual bosses encounter the media and they are also expected to handle interactions with their club’s board. However, the realism of the game extends beyond the world of football. Sports Interactive, who develop the series, made headlines back in 2016 when they revealed that one of the most divisive political developments of recent times would feature in Football Manager 2017....
In a speech in London, Sir John Major said the great powers of the world were the United States, China, and the European Union but that the U.K. must be “cruelly honest” and accept “we are no longer a great power”. “We will never be so again,” the former British leader said. “We are a top second-rank power but, over the next half-century – however well we perform – our small size and population make it likely we will be passed by the growth of other, far larger, countries....
Friday was no different. High-profile athletes and coaches across all sports expressed their desire for racial justice and an end to police violence following Floyd’s death on Monday. Dolphins coach Brian Flores made a powerful statement that the team posted on its Twitter feed. Joe Burrow, the first pick in this year’s NFL Draft, tweeted, “The black community needs our help.” Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence made a plea for understanding....
The FBI has confirmed that the body is part of an ongoing investigation, but has no relation to the Brian Laundrie case. WSOC9 reporter Dave Faherty tweeted on October 11: “Breaking Watauga County- just got this from the FBI-‘The body discovered along the Blue Ridge Parkway on Saturday is part of an ongoing investigation. “At this time, there is no evidence to connect or any reason to believe it is related to the search for fugitive Brian Laundrie....
In a viral Reddit post published on r/AmITheA**hole, Redditor u/throwawayweddingprep (otherwise referred to as the original poster, or OP) said her younger sister declined to serve as maid of honor but agreed to bring the cake to the wedding venue as conciliation before she was forced to miss out on the celebration altogether. Titled, “[Am I the a**hole] for blowing up at my sister after she didn’t pick up the cake for my wedding?...
In a video posted to TikTok, stylist and salon owner Stephanie Lee captured the moment she was tasked with transforming the bride’s already perfectly teased hairdo to create a striking new look for her wedding reception. It’s a pressurized job to say the least, with Lee no doubt all too aware that the slightest error could leave the woman of the hour looking a little less than stellar on her big day....
The video posted to Douyin—the Chinese version of the hugely popular short-video platform TikTok—has been viewed nearly seven million times at the time of writing. The clip, which was filmed by a wedding guest during the event in the city of Shangqiu, in China’s central province of Henan, shows the 24-year-old bridesmaid bounding forward to give her friend a hug before turning her attention to the besuited groom. She appears to attempt to kiss him on the lips but only manages to do so on his cheek as he turns away, the video shows....
Although the consensus of observers was that Bridgewater struggled throwing the ball at his pro day, Vikings offensive coordinator Norv Turner came away more impressed than others. From meeting Bridgewater, team officials liked his demeanor and pro-style skill set that fits Turner's scheme. With the No. 8 overall pick, the Vikings should expect that at least one of the top three QBs on the board would be available. Bridgewater may not be their only choice, but he could become preferred over the less polished Blake Bortles of Central Florida and more freewheeling Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M....
On take No. 5, Gough finally nails it, and it’s worth the wait. “You Were Right,” a galloping, bittersweet confessional, really is one of the top five songs ever written by Badly Drawn Boy. And that’s saying something. Ever since the Manchester, England, native won Britain’s Mercury Prize for his 2000 debut, “The Hour of Bewilderbeast,” his refreshingly unironic sound has beguiled critics on both sides of the Atlantic. On “You Were Right,” Gough wonders aloud just how much it’s fair to expect from music–a fraught subject for any singer–and how fatherhood changed him more than any song ever did....
Birdie: Rory McIlroy What second-round problems? For all the hysteria about McIlroy’s frequent Friday setbacks, the two-time major champion seemed oblivious to recent history when he birdied three of his last four holes en route to a six-under-par 66. With a four-shot lead at 12 under, McIlroy is potentially 36 holes from the third leg of a career Grand Slam. But these will likely be a long two days. Never known for his persistence in tough conditions, McIlroy will have to prove he can persevere through what is likely to be a miserable, wet Saturday while the rest of the field tries to chase him down....
For the first time since 1951, The Open returns to Northern Ireland, with the Royal Portrush Golf Club in County Antrim set to stage the 148th edition of the tournament. McIlroy, who as a 16-year-old smashed the course record with a blistering 61, has not won a major since triumphing in the PGA Championship at Valhalla in 2014. Bookmakers, however, believe playing at home presents the 30-year-old with the perfect opportunity to break his drought....
The pop star shared and swiftly deleted two posts in the early hours of Monday morning, one of which featured an alleged text exchange with her mother Lynne Spears during a 2019 stay at a mental health facility. In screenshots of a text conversation posted by Spears, the 40-year-old expressed her concerns over the dosages she was being given of antipsychotic drug Seroquel, which is used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder....
Aldean found herself encountering criticism after posting an Instagram video on August 23 that showed her performing a before-and-after makeup transformation. She captioned the post, “I’d really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase. I love this girly life.” Her husband responded in the comments: “Lmao!! Im [sic] glad they didn’t too, cause you and I wouldn’t have worked out....
Lincicome entered play Sunday at Monroe Golf Club in Pittsford, N.Y., at 10 under, a shot clear of Norway’s Suzann Pettersen and defending champion Park Inbee of South Korea. LEADERBOARD: LPGA Championship | PGA: Wyndham Championship With Pettersen and Park strong, Lincicome was unable to replicate her form from the opening two rounds. She mixed three bogeys with four birdies, but the 71 was enough to keep her in the lead....
The loss so one-sided partially because the 49ers lost the ability to throw the ball in the second half, after Brock Purdy was forced to return to the game with an injured arm when Josh Johnson was knocked out. Purdy and the 49ers’ passing offense was rendered inert, with the quarterback attempting just two passes upon his second-half return. The initial injury came on the first series of the game, when Purdy’s arm was hit by a charging Haason Reddick, forcing a fumble....
Kytch, a startup that utilizes technology to monitor soft serve machines’ performance, has sued the McDonald’s Corporation for $900 million for what Kytch alleges is a dereliction of duty regarding maintaining its machines, along with forcing independent operators to pay for costly repairs and maintenance to keep machines running. “McDonald’s is best known for its world-famous burgers, fries, and broken ice cream machines,” says the opening line of the lawsuit, filed by Kytch cofounders Jeremy O’Sullivan and Melissa Nelson in U....
