The FA have released a statement condemning the actions of a group of England supporters after violent clashes with police ahead of the Three Lions' Nations League semi-final clash against Netherlands. Trouble occurred in the city for the second night in a row as riot police attempted to deal with a number of travelling England fans who were throwing bottles at supporters watching Portugal's 3-1 win over Switzerland at a designated fan park. [1/2] Statement from The FA: "The FA strongly condemns the scenes witnessed in Porto overnight. Anyone responsible for these disturbances cannot be seen as true England supporters and are not welcome in football.   FA Spokesperson (@FAspokesperson) June 6, 2019 Trouble often accompanies England on their travels, but the latest incidents come as a significant blow to the FA after the release last week of the 'Don't be That Idiot' campaign - launched to help prevent fans from engaging in anti-social behaviour. In response to the acts displayed by a section of the travelling fans, the FA have responded with a statement slamming the actions of those supporters. "The FA strongly condemns the scenes witnessed in Porto overnight. Anyone responsible for these disturbances cannot be seen as true England supporters and are not welcome in football," the statement read. "They are an embarrassment to the team and the thousands of well-behaved fans who follow England in the right way. We are liaising with the UK Football Policing Unit." The actions will overshadow the fine work of Gareth Southgate's men, who reached the inaugural Nations League semi finals after seeing off Croatia 2-1 at Wembley courtesy of Harry Kane 's late goal. Raheem Sterling is in with a chance of wearing the captain's armband for the match in Guimaraes, which is roughly 30 miles away from Porto - where they will face Netherlands for a place in the final against Portugal.


The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services found multiple federal safety violations at Seattle Children's related to the dangerous mold issue that led to one patient's death and five other infections. Seattle Children's officials said they were conducting a routine test of its operating rooms on May 18 when Aspergillus mold was detected. The hospital said they reported the mold to the Washington State Department of Health on May 20. On May 28, the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) began a three-day investigation of Seattle Children's. As a result of the investigation, DOH and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) provided the hospital with statements of deficiencies. CMS said it found more than two dozen violations of federal regulations, including: The hospital's failure to approve and implement an infection prevention improvement plan The failure to properly maintain air filtering systems that fed to operating rooms And the failure to inspect or calibrate air flow monitoring equipment to make sure it worked. The report stated, "The failure to ensure oversight of the program that prevents infections puts patients, staff and visitors at risk of harm from environmental pathogens." Seattle Children's Chief Medical Officer Dr. Mark Del Beccaro responded to the report, "So what they found was some deficiencies in the documentation, which is not exactly the same as saying that something didn't happen. But if it isn't documented, it is their observation that we didn't have sufficient oversight." On June 20, CMS sent a letter to the hospital saying the hospital faced potential termination of its Medicare provider agreement. Dr. Beccaro said the hospital sent a plan of correction back to CMS on June 27. That plan has not been approved yet, but Beccaro confirmed all main operating rooms would reopen on July 4.

The Cincinnati Bengals have an incredibly difficult schedule in 2019, in large part due to a Week 1 road encounter with the Seattle Seahawks. Monday, those Seahawks lost a major part of their defense with lineman Jarran Reed receiving a six-game suspension for a violation of the league's personal conduct policy. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport first reported the news, which stems from an incident in April of 2017 . Reed, a second-round pick in 2016, had 13.5 sacks on his career and had 10.5 of those last season alone. One of Seattle's weaknesses this offseason was interior line depth, so the team now has to turn to unprovens like Poona Ford and otherwise a rotation. On paper, this makes life easier on the Bengals while they start the Zac Taylor era in hostile territory. The offensive line is dealing with life without first-round tackle Jonah Williams, the absence of the now-retired Clint Boling and hoping Billy Price can play well at center and Bobby Hart can revive his career on the right edge. The Bengals still don't start training camp for a handful of days, but it doesn't hurt to get some good news about an opponent after all of the adversity chasing them into the camp opener in Dayton.

Biggest key for young receivers: No repeat mistakes. #NFLTrainingCamp : @nflnetwork pic.twitter.com/aL0dHgAm3t - NFL (@NFL) July 25, 2019 Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers can sense growing confidence from second-year receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to begin training camp. In a one-on-one interview with former Packers receiver and current NFL Network analyst James Jones, Rodgers specifically singled out Valdes-Scantling, the 6-4 receiver who is starting to play faster in Year 2. "I think one guy that has really jumped out, in the spring, was Marquez (Valdes-Scantling). He's always timing really fast. Now he's playing to his time," Rodgers told Jones. "Marquez is starting to play with more confidence, and that's pretty good to see." In early June, Rodgers said Valdes-Scanlting was starting to emerge as an every-down player. Later in the month, he spoke about Valdes-Scantling's improvement in play speed . As a rookie, Valdes-Scantling caught 38 passes for 581 yards and two scores. He averaged 15.5 yards per catch, caught four passes over 40 yards and produced two games over 100 yards, but issues with consistency plagued the rookie pass-catcher down the stretch. In 2019, Valdes-Scantling looks like a favorite to start at receiver and a logical option as the field-stretching deep option in Matt LaFleur's offense. While speaking about the position group with Jones, Rodgers also mentioned Geronimo Allison's return from injury and called Davante Adams a "top-three receiver in the league." "I like that group," Rodgers said. "I feel good about our offense."

McLaren CEO Zak Brown says the atmosphere within the McLaren Racing IndyCar team is calm despite Fernando Alonso being left with just one practice day before qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 begins on Saturday. Alonso has completed just 96 laps over the past three days of practice, with electrical issues on Tuesday restricting his running to 50 laps, before he crashed at Turn 3 on Wednesday having run 46 laps. By contrast, the busiest driver, Spencer Pigot of Ed Carpenter Racing, has turned 302 laps. Following the shunt, McLaren has switched from its UK-built chassis to the Carlin/John Cummiskey-built car, fitting it with a fresh Chevrolet the original having suffered damage. According to team sporting director Gil de Ferran in an official release, that engine change was "an additional workload." He went on to admit: "Not running today was a serious setback to our Indy 500 program, but all is not lost. We should have a full day of practice and preparations for qualifying tomorrow and our goal will be to have a nice, clean day." Brown told Motorsport.com: "We're not allowed to have a true spare car [chassis and engine] so we've got to build it up and it's important we get it right. It's not ideal." Asked if there was a sense of panic that the team and Alonso are inadequately prepared for Fast Friday   where the BorgWarner turbos are turned up to 1.4-bar (from 1.3) and the cars are trimmed for qualifying simulations ahead of Pole Day and Bump Day at the weekend   Brown denied it. "No, no, they're relaxed," he said. "Fernando is a little sore from his accident   his legs bent the steering wheel   but he's fine. "But you know what Indy is like. If you panic, that's when you make a mistake so you've just got to keep your cool and build rhe car and get it right and make sure you get the setup right. It takes a long time on the setup pad to get the configuration, and I don't think you can rush it." Brown admitted that in this circumstance, being a separate entity and not just being part of the Andretti Autosport multi-car effort as McLaren was back in 2017   and also doing Indy 500 as a one-off   is hurting the squad. To put it in perspective, Felix Rosenqvist crashed his Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda 4.5 hours after Alonso's shunt, but his new car was rolled through tech inspection at 10am this morning and was ready to hit the track when it opened at 11am. "Being a new team is certainly a disadvantage as it takes time," said Brown. "The guys are all very experienced but they've not worked together as a team before. So this is the first time they've had to rebuild a car overnight and you're always going to do it a second time or third time or fourth time. "But the only way to get through that is to be a new team once, learn from it. But they're cool, calm and collected." Regarding the plan for car setup on Fast Friday   to either get Alonso's confidence back with raceday downforce, or to launch into qualifying simulations with the car trimmed out   Brown said: "We don't know yet. They want to see when we roll off where the car's at, so I think tonight we'll decide what tomorrow's plan looks like. "Fernando will be back on it from the first lap. But we've just got to make sure what the racecar's like. None of them are identical   they should be, but… Once we get it on the track he'll want to put his foot down right away but you need to go through the right system checks and show some patience."

MOUNT VERNON, N.Y. (CBSNewYork)   The ongoing political saga played out today in a Westchester County courtroom as disgraced mayor Richard Thomas fought to keep his job. A judge hearing over the "mayoral mess" said Friday more time is needed to review all the fact of the matter, even as both men made their claims to the town's top official position. Former mayor Thomas is seeking a court order order to block Andre Wallace from continuing to serve as acting mayor of Mount Vernon . "The people of Mount Vernon know that I'm their mayor," said Thomas. "As mayor of Mount Vernon, I'm going to continue to do my job," said Wallace. The city council unanimously voted Thomas out of office earlier this month after he pleaded guilty to grand larceny charges . The council says Thomas is now a private citizen and has no right to intervene in government affairs. Wallace was sworn in as mayor on July 10. "The city council is simply trying to facilitate what we believe to be an illegal coup d'etat," said Thomas. "We are facing an unusual situation, where two individuals, both present in the courtroom are simultaneously claiming to be mayor of Mount Vernon," said Jeff Buss, Thomas' lawyer. The attorneys for Thomas and Wallace both said they were representing "the mayor." At one point the judge asked, "By the way, who's representing the city of Mount Vernon?" The telling answer in the midst of all the turmoil? Silence. Thomas argues the attorney general gave him a September resignation deadline to ensure a smooth transition of power. Despite the Mount Vernon's city charter stating that a deposed mayor has 24 hours to leave office, Thomas has refused to clear out and claims he will stay as a lame duck until Sept. 30. That date was worked into the outgoing mayor's plea deal with authorities, saving Thomas from facing felony charges and jail time. "This whole thing that he needs another two and a half months to explain to me what's going on and i'm already in the trenches and know whats going on is ridiculous," said Wallace. The disgruntled politician has already caused more trouble for the city since his resignation, having the new police commissioner arrested for trespassing after taking his oath of office. Both parties will be back in court again next week for the judge's final decision.


Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku has confirmed to Inter that he wants to leave Old Trafford ahead of the 2019/20 season. There has been plenty of speculation surrounding Lukaku's short-term future in the north-west as Manchester United prepare to undergo a major summer makeover, with the Belgium international admitting over and over again that he would be interested in moving to Italy. The 26-year-old quickly caught the attention of Inter , and following talks with the Nerazzurri's decision-makers on Tuesday, Lukaku's agent confirmed that the forward was looking to leave Manchester United this summer. "Lukaku is a dream and is not easy to realize it...but yes, Inter are trying to get Rom," agent Federico Pastorello said, quoted by Fabrizio Romano  . "Romelu has expressed his wishes [to leave Manchester United]." It's been widely speculated that Lukaku will replace Inter's Mauro Icardi at San Siro next season, although so far the Italian giants have struggled to find suitors for the Argentina international. Although the former Chelsea and Everton striker is still widely regarded as one of the best strikers in Europe, it became clear throughout the second half of the season that manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was putting his eggs in other baskets. The likes of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial were preferred to Lukaku since Solskjaer took over around Christmas, while youngster Mason Greenwood has also been fast-tracked into the first-team over the last few months. Lukaku's agent Federico Pastorello today had a meeting with #Inter sport director in Milano: "Lukaku is a dream and is not easy to realize it... but yes, Inter are trying to get uom. Romelu has expressed his wishes (to leave Man United)"  #MUFC #transfers   Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) June 25, 2019 It's previously been claimed that Lukaku could fetch Manchester United upwards of £70m to spend on their targets this summer, including Crystal Palace right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.


Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has been off the practice field for roughly a week after suffering a setback with a calf strain that has been lingering for the better part of the last three months. As Luck looks to get back onto the field, the Colts are being extremely cautious with their franchise quarterback. Head coach Frank Reich gave a bit of an update to reporters on Tuesday following the training camp practice session. Reich said Luck is going through more rigorous and challenging workouts while testing the calf a bit further as well. The second-year head coach believes the progress is going well. Colts QB Andrew Luck is currently going through a more challenging series of workouts than last week, per Frank Reich, "an upgraded, more dynamic series of exercises" that'll help him build strength. He's moving around, testing the calf. Reich says "things seem to be going well." - Zak Keefer (@zkeefer) August 6, 2019 Luck will be held out of the preseason opener against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, and it isn't clear if the Colts will feel comfortable enough in letting him play at all this preseason. The 29-year-old quarterback is also being very cautious as to not push the calf injury-which he first suffered in May-too quickly. The Colts are still optimistic about Luck's outlook for the season, and it appears he's making progress in his recovery from a calf injury that has been lingering far too long.

NFL.com is not fond of the Buffalo Bills' "triplets" heading into next season. For those wondering, that refers to the combination of the Bills' quarterback, top wide receiver, and starting running back. Buffalo sits in the No. 30 spot. Here's how NFL.com explained their decision: Quarterback: Josh Allen - Rank: 29th (One game: 30th | 2019 prod.: 28th) Running back: LeSean McCoy - Rank: 22nd Pass catcher: Zay Jones - Rank: 29th After he logged a career-worst 514 rushing yards on just 3.2 yards per carry, it's unclear how much McCoy (who turns 31 on July 12) has left in the tank. The Bills seemed concerned, as well, bringing in two veterans in free agency (Frank Gore and T.J. Yeldon) and using a third-round pick on the position (Devin Singletary) in the 2019 NFL Draft. If Shady has a strong camp and proves that it is in fact hard to replace a guy like him, then I'll have egg on my face for ranking him so low. But after last season, there are just too many other backs I'd rather have right now. Josh Allen and Zay Jones could become a formidable QB-WR duo in time. I'm just not sure that time is in 2019. Buffalo is trending in the right direction, even if McCoy isn't. NFL.com does give a glimmer of optimism at the end, but much like other national outlets giving their take on Buffalo's offense, the Bills need to prove it. The team added a slew of offensive lineman and playmakers around Allen, but the thrower has to build chemistry with them all while also improving himself. His accuracy as a rookie was a concern. In the rankings, the Bills earned 27 "points" in NFL.com's ratings. That's much higher than what the Miami Dolphins landed. The Dolphins rank dead last with only 9.5. The Washington Redskins are the lone team between the two with 25.5 points. But like that big gap between those two AFC East teams, there's a large gap after the Bills, too. The Denver Broncos clock in at No. 29 with 46.5 points, much higher than Buffalo's total. Rounding out the AFC East, the New York Jets land at No. 2 (67.5 points), and the New England Patriots finished in seventh (114). The New Orleans Saints (140.5) and Los Angeles Chargers (135.5) led the entire NFL.

U.S. consumer prices rose just 0.1% in June, as lower gas prices were offset by higher rents and auto costs. The Labor Department said Thursday that the consumer price index increased 1.6% in June from a year earlier. That is down from 1.8% in May and the second straight drop. However, excluding the volatile food and energy prices, core inflation rose 0.3% in June, the biggest increase in 18 months. It rose 2.1% from a year ago. Inflation has been muted throughout the 10-year expansion, now the longest on record, even as the unemployment rate has dropped to a very low 3.7%. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell cited persistently low inflation on Wednesday as a justification for potentially lowering short-term interest rates at the Fed's next meeting in late July. Typically, such a low jobless rate would force employers to offer higher pay to attract and keep workers. Businesses, in turn, would raise prices to offset the cost of higher wages. But that dynamic has not fully kicked in during the current expansion and inflation has been stuck below the Fed's 2% target nearly the entire seven years since the Fed settled on that figure, according to a separate measure the Fed prefers. Powell had previously described low inflation as transitory, but did not do so in his comments Wednesday during a hearing of the House Financial Services Committee. Instead, he highlighted the fact that very low unemployment wasn't pushing up wages quickly enough to lift prices, and suggested that meant hiring and economic growth could continue without fear the economy would overheat and push up inflation. That gives the Fed more room to cut rates. In June, core inflation was pushed up by higher rents and a 1.6% jump in used car and truck prices, which followed four straight months of decline. Clothing prices rose 1.1%. Some of the increase in core prices was likely temporary. The cost of household services jumped 0.8%, the most in nearly 30 years, as lawn and garden service costs soared 6.1%, the most since December 1997. Food prices were unchanged, and gas prices fell 3.6%, the second straight sharp decline. The cost of electricity also fell 0.8%, lowering overall inflation.


Green Bay Packers linebackers coach Kirk Olivadotti is working on improving the eyes of second-year linebacker Oren Burks. Olivadotti believes better vision from Burks will result in a linebacker capable of playing faster and more efficiently. "We've been working with him on his sightlines, where to put his eyes, and to move more efficiently," Olivadotti said. "He's done a very good job with trying to be efficient with his feet, efficient with his angles and putting his eyes in the right spot. When he does that, he can move around and be a pretty good player." As a rookie, Burks suffered a shoulder injury during the preseason and then struggled to get on the field consistently. At times, the game looked too fast for the young linebacker. A better understanding of Mike Pettine's defense and a commitment to improving his reads and sightlines this offseason could unlock the athletic gifts Burks brings to the table at linebacker. "Definitely wanted to focus on my eyes and being able to process things a lot faster," Burks said. "That was the big focus (Olivadotti) talked about when we first came in. Getting with Blake (Martinez), and some of those other guys, and seeing what they see as linebackers in the league, that's helped out as well." Mental processing can often be the most difficult step for a young player. Athleticism only goes so far in the NFL. There's no time for thinking in a fast game. But when an athlete like Burks can begin to react instead of think, the game slows down and everything changes. "It simplifies the game for you, just knowing what reads to look for, it lets you play faster," Burks said. The Packers are counting on Burks to play fast in 2019. During OTAs, he's lined up as a starting linebacker next to Martinez in most defensive packages. It's possible he could be close to a full-time player in his second season. "Just feeling really confident in Year 2, knowing I have to make a big jump this year," Burks said. Olivadotti and the Packers pinpointed better-trained eyes from Burks as the key to him taking the second-year jump in 2019. "Just confidence and being able to recognize things a little faster," Burks said. "Year 2 you know what to expect a little more. There's a lot of guys around us capable of making plays, I want to be one of those guys."

Carnival Corp. has reached a settlement with federal prosecutors in which the world's largest cruise line agreed to pay a $20 million penalty for its ships continuing to pollute the oceans despite promising years ago to stop. A Miami federal judge approved the settlement Monday after Carnival CEO Arnold Donald pleaded guilty on the company's behalf to six probation violations related to illegal discharging of waste water, plastics and other harmful material. Carnival also agreed to a number of steps to improve compliance with environmental laws. The company was on probation from a 2016 conviction for discharging oily wastes from its Princess Cruise Lines ships. That included a $40 million fine. Miami-based Carnival operates nine cruise brands and 105 ships worldwide.

Among the many positions that will undergo competition during training camp and the preseason, the Indianapolis Colts will keep a keen eye on the safety room and namely rookie Khari Willis. The fourth-round pick in the 2019 draft received rave reviews from general manager Chris Ballard in the days following the offseason's biggest event, but he hasn't been seen working in a significant role through the spring workouts. Even with Clayton Geathers missing due to an offseason knee procedure, Willis wasn't seen by the media working with meaningful reps this spring, per Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan. "Even though Willis is clearly a favorite of the Colts scouting staff, he didn't receive a ton of prominent looks in the handful of open sessions to the media. Clayton Geathers missed the entire spring, but the Colts pretty much rotated three other safeties in the first and second team looks (Malik Hooker, George Odum, Matthias Farley), with veteran Derrick Kindred and returnee Rolan Milligan also pushing for reps." Now, this is hardly indicative of Willis or the role he is set to play in the Colts secondary. It can take rookies a while before they make the full transition into the league and spring practices won't make or break a career in the slightest. It is noteworthy, though, of where Willis is currently with the depth chart. We know Malik Hooker is going to start at free safety while the Colts work in a rotation next to him at strong safety. Once Geathers returns healthy, Farley and Odum are likely to be the ones in the mix for the third safety role in the room. Willis should also be competing with them, but it appears he has a bit of an uphill climb before he has a significant role in the secondary. Things could change when the pads come on in a month with the start of training camp but for now, it seems Willis will be working to get as many reps as he can.

Three-building concept will link to Chamblee's MARTA station via Rail Trail extension, developers say A condo project is bound for Chamblee that aims to capitalize on buyers' desire for transit connectivity and retail walkability, while adhering to the ITP city's architectural standards, developers tell Curbed Atlanta. At the newly christened The Gordon, plans call for 56 for-sale units across three buildings, each with four stories, between 3543 and 3553 Chamblee-Dunwoody Road, near Chamblee's historic downtown. Below the condos will be 7,500 square feet of retail, while a 2,000-square-foot rooftop amenity space will crown the property. The project will rise a quarter of a mile from the Chamblee MARTA Station, connected to the rail hub by Chamblee's planned Rail Trail extension, said Rod Mullice, a managing partner for developer Windsor Stevens Holdings and veteran of transit-oriented development in College Park. The Gordon is meant to reflect younger professionals' preferences for transit-connected living and architectural requirements of the Chamblee Master Plan, Mullice said. Added Chamblee Mayor Eric Clarkson, in a prepared statement: "We're very excited to have a new owner-occupied, multifamily, mixed use project such as The Gordon coming into our town center." A Windsor Stevens's rep told Curbed the venture is expected to break ground this fall. Condo prices are still being finalized, she said. With its overall scale and use of brick, the concept brings to mind another example of throwback new construction going up in Glenwood Park: an office building by the Historical Concepts firm meant to echo classical 20th century architecture. In recent years, mixed-use development has caught fire around Chamblee and Doraville, triggering some worries about escalating prices. Just down the street from Windsor Stevens's proposal, a 17-unit townhome community called " The Bristol " is materializing, with prices between the mid-$500,000s and mid-$800,000s.

Provided by Reuters Droves of people exited trolleys with chairs and hammocks in hand to claim their place beneath towering hemlocks at the Elkmont Campground in Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee on Thursday. They sat in rows along walkways as if they were waiting for floats and pageant queens to come parading through the forest. For two hours, they anticipated darkness. Everything seemed a bit surreal. Children stood on rocks, beating their chests and shouting to their parents below as if they had just scaled a giant mountain peak. The gentle streams that surrounded them were more like roaring rapids in their minds. Some traveled from as far away as Alaska or Australia to be in the moment, reports the Knoxville News Sentinel , which is part of the USA TODAY Network. Why were these people here? For a marvelous show unlike any they had ever seen   a synchronized spectacle powered by a unique species of delightful fireflies that lit up the summer air like stars falling from the heavens. Fireflies like actors on a stage It didn't matter where you were from or how you got there   everyone was together. Yet, somehow, it felt like the show was orchestrated just for you. A husband and wife from Sweden were camping nearby when they wandered upon the crowd, not knowing about the rare display that awaited them. The husband had been astonished the night before when he saw an ordinary firefly for the very first time. They had no clue what to expect. Hardly anyone did. The sunlight grew dimmer, like houselights in a theater as the first act draws near. And spotting the first firefly was like catching an actor peek around the curtain. The raucous children put their wild games on hold and the night became nearly silent. The show was ready to begin. Orienting yourself in a wondrous world Hundreds of fireflies' bodies burst into light, emitting a few synchronous flashes before pausing. Nearby, another large group did the same. Not only did these creatures create light, but they created what seemed like total darkness upon stopping. It was a disorienting darkness that overtook you. It almost made you feel lost. Then the low-flying fireflies flashed once again and became the forest floor, while the ones against the walkway's trees became a glowing wall, containing you not in a space but in a moment   reminding you where you were. For some, it reminded them that they were in God's wondrous world   a world he must have created if something like this could be real. Lying on the ground felt like floating in a far-off galaxy as you watched the fireflies, like stars, absorb the space around you. And looking at the ground showed just how much light these tiny creatures contain as the pavement illuminated like bolts of lightning were flashing in the sky. A marvelous moment to share People began to question how these fireflies knew to flash together. Was it some sort of scent or a count led by the leader of the swarm? The true answer was love or, at least, a mate. They rose from the ground to seek someone to be with. That's something we can all relate to. And once we find the people we care about, we seek out moments to share with them. The one everyone shared Thursday was unlike anything I have ever seen. It made me feel present in a moment yet lost in time. It made me feel incredibly small yet part of something huge. It left me speechless yet wanting to share with everyone my marvelous experience. But the truth is, there are no words. What did others think? Mary Mars, 34, from Cumberland Gap, Tennessee: "I definitely feel closer to God. Nature is my church, and this is where I come to experience him. Being able to see something that he does up close and personal out in something that only he created   I definitely feel him with me." Denise Gallagher, 68, from Athens, Georgia: "It's like a Christmas display of lights set to music, maybe. It's fascinating. In my whole lifetime, I've never seen an eighth of (the fireflies) here. … It's quite lovely. It's something that you wouldn't ordinarily see, and it's something you should do once in your lifetime. Mother Nature has such a way of making things work." Sarah Bradley, 27, from Wetumpka, Alabama: "I read about it in a magazine when I was little   it was one of my mom's magazines. And it's always been a dream of mine to come. It rivals going to see Christmas lights when I was a kid, and that was the most magical thing I could think of. It's truly phenomenal. ... For me, I was just sitting here thinking it's like the stars come out of the sky just to come down and light up the forest for a few hours and have a party. It's truly magical." David Wang, 45, from Atlanta, Georgia: "I thought it was going to be like summertime, childhood firefly stuff. It was a lot more than that. It was almost like a concert. It's like somebody is organizing it   like there's some kind of central person directing them." John Price, 64, from Asheville, North Carolina: "It feels like seeing one of the seven wonders of the world. It's just amazing to see the fireflies synchronize. And just the peace of being out here is just fantastic. … It reminds me of the rhythm of the waves   that type of thing   sitting and looking at a starry night. The background of the stream is beautiful. It just makes you appreciate God's world." Want to go? A lottery determines who gets to view the fireflies. This year's lottery closed April 29 but should open again next year around the same time. There's a $1 fee to apply, and successful applicants are charged $24 to cover the costs of supplies and on-site personnel. Lottery winners are given a parking pass to use on a specific date. This year's display started May 30 and will finish June 6. This article originally appeared on Knoxville News Sentinel: See the synchronous fireflies Smoky Mountains display that left us speechless


When Hannah Gadsby stepped out on stage at The Moore theater on Saturday night for the first of one of two shows in Seattle , the specter of her last special hung over everyone   including Gadsby, who told the audience she wasn't sure why they wanted more of that. "It's a good show, I'm proud of it but hooo...do you really want more of it?" she asked the crowd (who responded in turn with rapturous applause and cheers). She would, on more than a few occasions, crack jokes about what her new persona would look like; "that's what I do now," she'd say, citing basic comedy set-ups like "single entendres" or "observations." Gadsby more than anyone understands what it means to cement yourself after a meteoric rise. It's a fair enough question to ask: After "Nanette"   her Netflix special that rocketed her to fame   hit the internet, she's become not just a comic on the rise, but a comic who also delves into the personal, covering everything from her own traumas to the insidiousness of homophobia in her life in the back half of the show. RELATED: Hannah Gadsby talks comedy, life after 'Nanette' and how U.S. crowds differ from Australia And so, one year later, she's back with "Douglas," and "fresh out of" the traumas people expect from her. But that doesn't make "Douglas" a traditional show, by any means. The comedy is still sharp and (despite some meta-commentary on the subject) follows a similar outline to that of "Nanette" as a way to map the show. Gadsby's facial gymnastics are still remarkable and acute, reacting and guiding the audience with seemingly simply tossed off lines that make everything feel of-the-moment. The way her eyes light up as she tackles the word "gas," elongating the "s" to the fullest extent, is unparalleled. But perhaps the most remarkable part of Gadsby's oeuvre is her way to wind her way around her sets, pulling in topic after topic in what feels very casual. And then before you know it, you've found yourself at the center of a web of jokes, where you can't maneuver your way out without tripping over one of her set-ups. RELATED: 'Dark Phoenix' can't handle all the power of the X-Men universe It would feel mechanical if Gadsby weren't so adept at making it naturalistic; jokes that seem simple at first come back for large and even small payoffs later on. And she does it all while reflexively commenting on and deconstructing comedy, how the audience is reacting to her comedy, the jokes themselves, and her own style. In the end "Douglas" achieves one of the hardest things to do: become a follow-up to a massive hit (and one filled with raw intensity to boot) that feels just as good but different. With "Douglas," Gadsby proves that whether or not there's an audience for her flavor of comedy, she's going to shine regardless. And, really, how can you deny the fun of someone who can pull out descriptions like "a face like a slapped ass?" Hannah Gadsby will play one more show in Seattle on her "Douglas" tour on Sunday, June 9 at 7:30 p.m. If you miss her here, you can catch the special on Netflix in 2020.

Tesla's fullest realization of Autopilot-a completely automated system it claims is fail-safe-fits in the same enclosure as its older Autopilot hardware and can potentially be retrofitted to older Tesla models, the company said today in a webcast. Pete Bannon, an ex-Apple engineer and Autopilot director, said the new hardware fits in a small enclosure between the firewall and glovebox. "It does not take up half your trunk," Bannon said, in reference to autonomous prototypes other automakers have developed over the past several years. The new hardware has been installed in Model 3 vehicles since April, he said, and in the Model S and X since February. Tesla has been working on the system for three years since Bannon started at Tesla. There is no indication when Tesla will activate the new Autopilot with a software update. Bannon emphasized a "tremendous amount of redundancy and overlap" that would enable Autopilot to function even with multiple on-board failures. CEO Elon Musk, as usual, went further to describe it. "Any part of this can fail, and the car will keep driving," Musk said. "The probability of this computer failing is substantially lower than someone losing consciousness." More to come as the livestream continues.


Brad Smith was a top lawyer at Microsoft when the company was locked in epic regulatory battles with the U.S. and European governments in the 1990s, so he knows a thing or two about antitrust. Today, he believes that attitudes about corporate monopolies are changing and that this could bring about significant modifications in policy. Speaking Monday evening at Fortune 's annual CEO Initiative in New York City, Smith said he believes U.S. regulators will start to look beyond consumer prices to companies' overall behavior as a test for anti-competitive behavior. Smith agreed with the assessment of Fortune executive editor Adam Lashinsky, his interviewer, that the American government is prepared to adopt elements of "hipster antitrust." The term, defined by a view of antitrust that goes beyond the traditional consumer welfare standard to include a range of socioeconomic issues, began as a tongue-in-cheek phrase but is now in use by academics and even the American Bar Association . A shift in political attitudes is making officials look more favorably upon the hipster version of the law, Smith said. "Obviously, the public atmosphere has changed really quite remarkably," Smith said. "It used to be that you'd be from the tech sector and everyone would say 'that's fantastic'." Today, regulators likely feel more remorse that they didn't act more aggressively to stop earlier mergers such as Facebook's acquisition of Instagram and WhatsApp, Smith said. He added that regulators will also focus their attention on the role of online platforms in building monopolies. "Apple-Spotify will be first real case on how operating systems use app stores," said Smith, referring to the European Union's recent decision to investigate Apple following a complaint by audio streaming service Spotify that the iPhone maker was hurting competition. Smith also noted hipster antitrust may gain traction as more people view personal data as a form of currency. Microsoft on Facial Recognition and the Housing Crisis Smith's antitrust comments came in the context of a broader discussion about tech companies' responsibility to confront social issues at a time of diminishing trust in capitalism. One of these issues is the housing crisis wracking top West Coast tech hubs like Seattle and San Francisco. According to Smith, the housing crisis has joined education and transportation as Microsoft's top priorities. (Microsoft is headquartered in Redmond, Wash., a Seattle suburb.) Homelessness is just the tip of the iceberg, Smith said such cities also face a severe housing shortage for low- and middle-income residents. "You can't have a healthy company without being in a healthy community," said Smith, adding that many teachers, nurses, and emergency workers now face punishing 90-minute commutes. That's why Microsoft recently invested $500 million to expand housing options in Seattle, Smith said. It has also worked with mayors of nine nearby cities to address the crisis. The other social issue that's top of mind for Smith is facial recognition, which he described as "the first real concrete application of artificial intelligence." Smith recounted how Microsoft declined to supply facial recognition to California law enforcement on the grounds the technology is still experimental, and because its deployment could result in people of color being wrongfully arrested. Currently, facial recognition is unregulated in the U.S. outside of San Francisco, where city officials barred its use by law enforcement. Smith predicts that more cities and states will begin to pass laws to oversee its use, but that federal regulation is unlikely to occur prior to 2021. The topic resonates with Smith, who describes the ethical issues surrounding facial recognition and other new technologies in his new book Tools and Weapons: The Promise and the Peril of the Digital Age. Said the executive: "Cities, states, and countries will have to make a decision on how they want this technology to be used." Click here for more coverage from The CEO Initiative.


NEW YORK   The contrast is jarring. For three and a half years, the United States women's national team plays to minimal fuss. Games are regular, but seldom are they major events. There will be a TV broadcast and press coverage, but it isn't the big-time, exactly. Even the Summer Olympics, where the U.S. women have won four gold medals and one silver in six editions, isn't a tournament that gives the USA top billing. And then along comes the Women's World Cup, quadrennially. Suddenly, the glare from the cameras and stage lights is blinding. Literally. Players had to shield their eyes as they were bombarded by questions from 150 or so reporters, jerked from one direction to the next, recorded by a dozen TV cameras and endless handheld devices. The moment you stepped off the elevator in Twitter's Manhattan headquarters for the national team's pre-Women's World Cup media day on Friday, the brands and logos and red, white and blue assaulted you. Slowly but undeniably, the USA's sendoff to this tournament has become a major event. A final tune-up game with Mexico awaits across the river at Red Bull Arena on Sunday, mind you, before the Americans' title defense begins in France against Thailand on June 11. You wouldn't know the first meaningful game was still almost three weeks away though, going by the rah-rah vibe at the social media company's thoughtful space   all self-gender-identified bathrooms, sustainably sourced menus and recyclable utensils. Federation logos were plastered everywhere, sponsors carefully placed in the background of the likeliest camera angles. Portraits of the 23 selected American players adorned the hallway, commissioned by various artists and to be displayed in major cities across the country. A new federation-issued app unlocks video content when you scan the images. Thumping music led some French-accented Twitter vice president-of-something-or-other onto the stage to give an introduction and announce some kind of brand activation, in the corporate parlance. The media ranged from hardcore women's soccer outlets, to national media, to major morning shows, making for a dizzying breadth of inquiries. "Emily, if you had to choose between wearing your hair down all the time and shaving it off, what would you do?" "Mallory, it's almost Father's Day. What do you want to say to your dad?" "Becky, does the equal pay [fight] add pressure at this World Cup?" "Rose, what's on your pre-game playlist?" "Julie, why are you proud to represent America?" "Julie, what's your favorite movie?" "Julie, how did you feel about the ending of Game of Thrones?" "Julie, what's your favorite food?" "Julie, what's your biggest pet peeve?" There were a lot of questions about women's rights writ large, about equality, about the growth of the women's game. And, after Alex Morgan told Time magazine she'd refuse a visit to the White House should they win the whole thing, questions about how the other players felt about the political climate. There was a lot of talk of winning a "fourth star." To be adorned to the U.S. jersey if a fourth World Cup is indeed won. Carli Lloyd, the 36-year-old star heading off to her fourth World Cup, whereupon she'll turn 37, marveled at the scope of the interest. "Obviously, we've seen the women's game grow tremendously," she said. "It's massive. Being here today, kicking it off with this press conference, it's starting to get real. It's growing and growing." She also mused about the impending end of her national team career, which may extend to a fourth Olympics in Tokyo next summer. "This being the fourth and, most likely, last World Cup of mine, I'm kind of just taking it day by day, embracing the journey a little bit more," she said, breaking from her famously hyper-focused approach. "We get so stuck in looking ahead and not really embracing and being in the moment, I think the last couple of years have really taught me to just kind of be in the moment and savor each and every moment." Lloyd even allowed an extended exchange with a reporter over whether she'd be bringing her husband   whom she'd barred from coming to the last World Cup   or any other family to France. "I haven't discussed it with my husband, to be quite honest," she said. "If he happens to buy a flight and come over, there's some tickets that may possibly be saved for him. If people want to fly over and surprise me, go ahead." Then she broke into a smile. The biggest crowds formed around Megan Rapinoe, one of the co-captains now at least as well known for her outspokenness and Colin Kaepernick-inspired national anthem kneeling as for her soccer. She's become the team's unofficial voice on all matters political and progressive. She was pelted with endless questions on, well, anything related to the condition of women. She endured it patiently, her delicate coif unruffled. At the end of the whole deal, a FOX-themed foosball table was rolled out by the tournament's broadcaster for a photo op with the whole team. But once the squad turned up, it pounced on the table and started playing fanatically, throwing things into chaos as the photographers and cameramen set upon them. The players paid them no mind, entranced by their game. Ear-piercing shrieks rose when goals were scored. They just wanted to play soccer.

Joe Dahl is bidding for a starting job on the Lions offensive line this season, but he's already shown the team enough for them to sign him to a contract extension. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Dahl has agreed to a two-year extension with the team. Dahl is in the final year of the four-year rookie deal he signed as a 2016 fifth-round pick. Dahl is currently listed as the No. 2 left guard behind Kenny Wiggins on the Lions' depth chart. Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press notes that he took first-team snaps in Tuesday's joint practice with the Patriots, however, and the contract extension suggests the Lions see more growth from him in the future. He has played in 22 games and made four starts over his first three seasons.


The 2019 clay court season will be a washout for John Isner. The top-ranked American man announced Friday he will miss the French Open as he continues to recover from a foot injury incurred during the Miami Open final. He said in a social media post that the reported stress fracture "has not fully healed and there's just no way I could possibly compete on the clay in Paris." "While missing Grand Slams is not something I'm accustomed to, I've been fortunate to have such a clean bill of health my whole career," he continued. "This is a bump in the road and I'm certain I will fully recover. Hope to see everyone at Wimbledon!" Update pic.twitter.com/6bCMlwoZ4U   John Isner (@JohnIsner) May 17, 2019 The 34-year-old hasn't played since falling 6-1, 6-4 to Roger Federer in Miami, skipping Masters 1000 events on clay in Monte Carlo, Madrid and Rome. He is currently ranked 11th in the world. As his statement indicated, however, it's rare for the big man to miss a Grand Slam. He has played in 37 of the last 38 majors dating back to the 2009 U.S. Open, sitting out only the 2013 Australian Open due to a nagging knee injury. The setback is particularly disappointing, though, since it comes on the heels of year that brought the best Slam showings of Isner's career. In 2018, he matched personal bests by reaching the fourth round at Roland Garros and the quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows, while making it to the semifinals at Wimbledon for the first time after never having previously advanced past the third round.

But he'll have to wait until next year for a chance to improve on that record in Paris.

Felipe Massa says he ran out of useable energy 150 metres from the finish on the way to his first ABB FIA Formula E podium in Monaco. Massa's maiden FE podium came in Venturi's home race after the ex-Formula 1 racer spent the closing stages aggressively defending from Mahindra Racing's Pascal Wehrlein following the German's early error that dropped him from second to fourth. The Venturi driver entered the final pass of the Swimming Pool complex with just two percent useable energy remaining and with Wehrlein on his tail. Massa eventually coasted across the line 0.178s ahead of his Mahindra rival. Read Also: Monaco E-Prix: Vergne becomes first repeat winner of 2018/19 Drivers stripped of points finishes in Monaco Massa said: "I had managed the consumption quite well during the whole race, in slowing down in the right way behind the [Nissan] e.dams car [of Oliver Rowland]. "Just on the last lap, I had to use too much and [Wehrlein] had managed to save more than me, I think one percent more. "On the last lap he was hitting me because we were fighting, and I couldn't brake where I wanted to on the inside, but I couldn't let him brake very hard on the outside. "So it was quite tricky and he hit me a couple of times on the last lap. I managed to finish the race without battery, without any charge [remaining energy]. "For the last 150 metres I lost everything, but there was not enough time for him to overtake me." Felipe Massa, Venturi Formula E, Venturi VFE05 Photo by: Sam Bloxham / LAT Images Asked by Motorsport.com if he had expected to run out of energy, Massa added: "I knew it would be on the limit, but it was more [so] than I expected." Massa had said in the post-race press conference that he "never had doubts" over his competitiveness in FE during his maiden season, and that "the podium was a little later than I [had] expected [it] to be". He added: "You sometimes put stupid things in your mind. You see that you are quick but so much happens and you are like 'why? I know I can do it [and get a result]', but I never doubted. "I know what I can do and I am not here by luck, I am here for what I did in my career and I'm sure there is more I can do." Massa's Venturi teammate Edoardo Mortara said Massa's podium was important after his squad's recent mixed form. Since Mortara inherited victory in Hong Kong four races ago, Venturi has had four retirements and three top 10 finishes across both cars. Mortara told Motorsport.com: "It brings a little bit of positivity into the team and I think they needed it. We've been struggling for several reasons in the last four weekends but we were always competitive. "It's a bit of a shame that we had these four weekends, but good that Felipe scored a podium."

LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. (AP) Siena point guard Jalen Pickett has withdrawn his name from consideration for the NBA draft and will return to school for his sophomore year. Pickett officially declared as an early entrant for the draft in April. He participated in the inaugural NBA G League Elite Camp last month in Chicago and had pre-draft workouts with several NBA teams. In a release from the school, Pickett called it a great experience and says he ''gained valuable feedback about what it will take to make it at the next level.'' The Rochester, New York native averaged 15.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 2.1 steals as a freshman and ranked ninth nationally in assists per game (6.7). He was the unanimous 2018-19 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference rookie of the year and a first team All-MAAC honoree. --- More AP college basketball: https://apnews.com/Collegebasketball and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25


Honda rider Marc Marquez beat his teammate Jorge Lorenzo to top the opening MotoGP practice session at Jerez as Valentino Rossi was a lowly 18th. Marquez led nearly the entire 45-minute session as he took the lead with his second flying lap, and stayed in front until just two minutes remained on the clock. His teammate Lorenzo was then able to demote him by two tenths with a 1m38.045s, but Marquez fought back just as the chequered flag fell. Marquez first lowered the benchmark by a tenth and then slightly improved once again on his last lap to end the session with a 1m37.921s, the only rider below the 1m38s barrier. Lorenzo completed a Repsol Honda 1-2 with Maverick Vinales, whose Yamaha team used a winglet by the rear tyre similar to that of Ducati's controversial solution, taking third, 0.191s off the pace. LCR's Takaaki Nakagami - who topped post-season testing at Jerez last year - took an impressive fourth to bring a third Honda into the top four, narrowly beating lead Ducati man Andrea Dovizioso. SRT Yamaha duo Fabio Quartararo and Franco Morbidelli were sixth and ninth, sandwiching the Ducati GP19s of Jack Miller, who seemingly had arm-pump issues during the session, and Danilo Petrucci. The top 10 was completed by Suzuki's Alex Rins. Johann Zarco was the top KTM in 12th but the Frenchman's session ended in a crash, the only rider to fall in FP1. Aleix Espargaro was the fastest Aprilia rider, which also tested a rear tyre winglet, in 14th. Honda tester Stefan Bradl kicked off his first wildcard of the season in 15th while Bradley Smith made his second appearance in 19th, right behind Rossi, who was 1.459s off the pace in 18th.

Arnold Allen welcomed former Strikeforce lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez back from a two-year layoff with a beatdown. In a performance that resembled a passing of the torch, the younger Allen (15-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) beat the experienced Melendez (22-8 MMA, 1-6 UFC) to the punch time and time again to win unanimous 30-27 scores. The featherweight bout closed out the preliminary card of Saturday's UFC 239 event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It aired on ESPN following additional prelims on UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+ and ahead of the main card on pay-per-view. Allen remains unbeaten in the octagon after six fights and adds the biggest name to his resume so far. Melendez, who's struggled with a persistent leg injury, suffered his fifth straight loss and faces the issue of retirement after he said his comeback would determine his future in the sport. In his return, Melendez was a step behind Allen at every turn. His punches were countered by unpredictable combinations that split his guard and wore him down. Unable to take the fight to the mat, he was forced to stand and strike with a younger and faster fighter who appeared content to dominate without finishing. Allen worked the body early and then went upstairs, catching Melendez several times with uppercuts. He took more than a few left hooks from his experienced opponent, yet none of them convinced him to back off. After a few calf kicks produced a noticeable reaction, he focused in on Melendez's legs. By the third round, Melendez was visibly in pain, switching stances to avoid any further punishment. Melendez came out strong in the final frame, getting inside and throwing heavy punches before a caught kick presented a takedown opportunity. Allen moved into the clinch and muscled his foe to the fence, turning the tables for his own takedown. Moments before the final bell, Melendez tried with one last charge and was quickly sent backward by Allen, who celebrated the moment with a devious grin before pleasantries were exchanged.

Is there ever a "really good problem?" Apparently when it comes to the Giants' quarterback situation. Free agent signee Golden Tate said the Giants have two good options at quarterback, with Eli Manning still playing at a high level and Daniel Jones drafted as the heir apparent. "What I can I see, Eli Manning's got a lot of juice left ," Tate told NFL Network on Thursday. "He's still got some zip on his passes. "I've been impressed. I think we have a really good problem. We've got a Hall of Fame-type of quarterback in my mind, and we also drafted a guy, a young guy, so we don't need Daniel to come in and save the day. We just need Daniel to stay on pace, learn as much as he possibly can in a great environment and just take it day by day. We don't need him to come in tomorrow and win a game. We just need him to stay on pace. I think that's good news in my mind." Manning has dismissed the idea of a competition for the starting job even as Giants coach Pat Shurmur left the offseason program indicating Jones will get a chance to win the job. While Manning remains the favorite to win the job out of training camp, the Giants didn't draft Jones with the sixth overall choice to sit for long.


The Jets reported for training camp on Wednesday and will start practice on Thursday. The team enters training camp with a lot of new faces, including at head coach and general manager. Between a regime change, new uniforms and lucrative contracts, a team that should be the subject of HBO's Hard Knocks will get to work on a season that could be special. With that being said, here are six of the biggest storylines surroudning the Jets entering training camp. Quinnen Williams' contract situation (AP Photo/Seth Wenig) The Jets have hit an impasse with Quinnen Williams on his rookie deal. With Brian Burns officially signing with the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday, that makes Williams one of two first-round picks that remains unsigned. The delay in Williams' contract is due to his signing bonus payment schedule. According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero , the Jets and Williams have not come to an agreement because the Jets' latest offer has a bonus payment schedule that would cost Williams $100,000. It appears that Joe Douglas is staying firm on the Jets' contractual approach here, attempting to set a precedent. Still, the Jets need to get their first-round pick on the field sooner than later. Using Sam Darnold as a measuring stick, New York does not want Williams to miss any more than three days of integral practices. Sam Darnold's grasp of Adam Gase's offense (Danielle Parhizkaran-NorthJersey.com) Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Sam Darnold said that he is on the "latter stages" of learning the new offense. Even though Darnold is learning his second offense in as many seasons, he said he feels a lot more "comfortable" entering year two. What has helped Darnold grasp the offense is his relationship with his head coach. "Me and coach Gase have a great relationship off the field, and then on the field, we're able to communicate very well with each other," Darnold told reporters Wednesday. "His personality I feel matches up to mine pretty well. We're always in constant communication and I think that's how it should be." Darnold being ahead of the curve is a good sign for the second-year quarterback. This offense is catered to him and, as the leader of the offense, he has an opportunity throughout training camp to bring the unit along and get everyone on the same page before September. Le'Veon Bell back in action (AP Photo/Julio Cortez) Le'Veon Bell reported for training camp for the first time in two years. The Jets star running back exclaimed, "I'm back baby," when entering the team facilities on Wednesday. Bell certainly is back and he hasn't been shy about the chip on his shoulder. However, how much we'll see of Bell remains to be seen. The Jets plan to limit his workload during camp, being that he's been away from the game for over a year. "We'll be smart," Adam Gase said to reporters. "He's not going to walk out of this camp with the most reps he's ever had. We'll find that line, find what the balance is. It's going to be a communication a lot of the time. We have an idea going in, then if we have to adjust that plan, we will." The Jets are being smart with Bell, walking a fine line to make sure that their prized offseason acquisition isn't burned out before the season begins. Cornerback depth (Julio Cortez-AP) Entering training camp, cornerback seems to be the weakest position group on the team. With Brian Poole being placed on the NFI on Wednesday, the Jets' current opening day starters would be Trumaine Johnson, Parry Nickerson and Darryl Roberts. That would be one of the weakest cornerbacks groups in the NFL. The cornerback room needs to be the first area that Joe Douglas tackles after it was ignored by the previous regime. Mike Maccagnan signed Poole to replace Buster Skrine, but stopped there besides making the obvious move to re-sign Roberts. The Jets are lacking a true No. 2 cornerback opposite of Johnson and teams around the league are going to pick on them. With Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay demanding new deals, the Jets could look there for help. Regardless, New York has to be gravely concerned about its current corners. Chris Herndon's suspension (Photo by Steven Ryan/Getty Images) Chris Herndon was handed a four-game suspension for a substance abuse policy violation. He will be eligible to return Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys, as the Jets' bye is in Week 4. In response to this, the Jets have signed Ryan Griffin and brought back Temuchin Hodges to add to a tight end room that includes Eric Tomlinson, Daniel Brown and Trevon Wesco. Training Camp allows the Jets to find their most suitable Herndon replacement for the first four weeks of the season. Normally, losing a player for four games wouldn't be viewed so crucially, but Herndon became Sam Darnold's go-to target in 2018. The Jets' slate over the first four games is one of the toughest parts of their schedule, so finding a reliable tight end for the first four games is critical. Can the offensive line improve? (AP Photo/Julio Cortez) The Jets offensive line was miserable in 2018, partly due to Spencer Long's inability to deliver clean snaps and James Carpenter dealing with injuries. To bolster the offensive line, the Jets went out and acquired All-Pro guard Kelechi Osemele. At center, the Jets' solution was to bring back Jonotthan Harrison, who held his down and seems to be building a rapport with Sam Darnold. The offensive line is Joe Douglas' expertise, as he was a key architect in building the Eagles unit that was crucial to their Super Bowl run. Gang Green's front five needs to inspire confidence this summer, otherwise, it could mean another long season for Darnold and company.

Paris Saint-Germain winger Neymar is said to be desperate to find a way out of the club, having grown frustrated with the side's failure to compete in the Champions League. Since leaving Barcelona in 2017, Neymar has never made it past the last 16 in the Champions League, and he was forced to watch his team fall to Manchester United this season from the sidelines after suffering a foot injury. The update on Neymar 's future comes from El Confidencial , who claim that the Brazilian's representatives have been working tirelessly for a number of days to try find any possible way of leaving the club. His high wages and PSG's insistance that he will not be sold are two major stumbling blocks, with any deal for Neymar likely needing to reach the €222m which PSG paid to sign him in 2017/ Real Madrid have been heavily linked with the 27-year-old, but president Florentino Perez has no desire to negotiate with PSG counterpart Nasser Al-Khelafi, meaning Neymar would have to arrange the deal on his own. El Confidencial aren't the only ones to make this claim about Neymar's future, as Le10Sport also state that the Brazilian is now desperate to leave Paris. The early elimination from the Champions League is said to be a huge factor in his decision, whilst the drastic downturn in form by everyone at the club has also left him wanting more, despite having already wrapped up the Ligue 1 title. PSG have won just one of their last six league games, and also shocking fell to Stade Rennais in the Coupe de France final in late April. Whilst Neymar's desire to leave is not solely down to the club's poor form, the last few weeks have confirmed that he sees his future elsewhere. A deal will be far from straightforward, and PSG will do all they can to make it as hard as possible in an attempt to retain their star, who has racked up 50 goals and 28 assists in 57 appearances for the club over the last two seasons.

After the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers 119-117 in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, the Curry brothers met at the middle of the court, embraced and exchanged jerseys. The two also exchanged words, and an emotional Seth Curry walked off the court as his brother Stephen put on an NBA Finals hat and prepared for an interview circuit. While speaking to ESPN's Doris Burke, the Warriors star revealed the emotional message he gave his younger brother. "Somebody had to lose, but this is just the beginning for him and his career in terms of being on this stage," Curry said. "He's proved to a lot of people that not only does he belong, but he can play big minutes in playoff games. We'll remember this for the rest of our lives ... this is what it's all about."

BALTIMORE (AP) -- The Toronto Blue Jays have a young, dynamic team that could make a playoff run in the next couple of years. They provided a glimpse of that potential against the Baltimore Orioles. BOX SCORE: BLUE JAYS 11, ORIOLES 2 Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit two of his team's five home runs to back a solid pitching performance by fellow rookie Trent Thornton and the Blue Jays beat the Orioles 11-2 Thursday night. "That guy's pretty good. He's driving in runs," Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said about Guerrero. "They got a nice little core. They're going to be fun players to watch here going forward, really athletic. They have a young core group of position players that are going to do damage." Randal Grichuk, Danny Jansen and Billy McKinney also had homered for the Blue Jays, who tied a season high with their fourth straight win. Guerrero's homers included an impressive 450-foot shot off Dylan Tate in the eighth inning. Toronto reinstated Thornton (4-7) from the 10-day injured list following a bout with elbow inflammation, and he allowed one run and five hits without a walk over six innings. His last two wins have come against the Orioles. Thornton threw six scoreless innings against them July 7. "He wasn't trying to strike people out tonight, just get people out, and he did a good job of it," manager Charlie Montoyo said. "He got a lot of ground balls." Trey Mancini hit his 25th home run, a solo shot in the eighth off Toronto reliever Jason Adam, who was promoted from Triple-A Buffalo earlier in the day. Guerrero gave the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead with a two-run shot in the third off Asher Wojciechowski (2-4). Guerrero is batting .416 (20 of 48) with five homers over his last 12 games. The Orioles loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom half on two singles and a bunt. Thornton escaped with a pop out and double play. Toronto took a 3-0 lead on a two-out, RBI single by Bo Bichette. "I wanted to stay ahead of the hitters and attack the strike zone," Thornton said. "I felt I was able to do that. Got out of a big jam in third inning and that was big momentum for me." Grichuk hit a solo homer in the fifth that ended the night for Wojciechowski, who was dealing with a hip injury. The Orioles pulled within 4-1 later that inning on a fielder's choice by Jonathan Villar. "I just didn't feel that great today," Wojciechowski said. "The hip was a little sore. I've dealt with it in the past." Jansen hit a three-run shot and Guerrero picked up his third RBI with a double off Jimmy Yacabonis in the sixth. ORIOLES STAY PAT The rebuilding Orioles were expected to be active at the trade deadline. Instead, executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias decided the best course of action was to keep the current roster intact, especially with key players under contract for next season. "Our goal is to raise the talent level up and down the organization and that includes players who are on the major league team, and the trades that were available to us, I didn't feel like they were going to do that," Elias said. "I thought they might actually lower the talent level because these are guys we have under control." MOVES The Blue Jays added OF Derek Fisher to their major league roster. Fisher was acquired from the Houston Astros ahead of Wednesday's trade deadline for right-handed starter Aaron Sanchez, right-handed reliever Joe Biagini and minor league outfielder Cal Stevenson. Orioles: INF Jose Rondon was added to the 25-man roster after being claimed off waivers from the White Sox on Wednesday. He popped out as a pinch hitter in the seventh. TRAINER'S ROOM Blue Jays: Grichuk was hit by a foul ball in the sixth inning and went to a local hospital for x-rays. Orioles: OF/DH Mark Trumbo is experiencing soreness in his surgically repaired right knee. He is hoping to return to the club in September when rosters expand. UP NEXT Blue Jays: Montoyo hasn't decided on a starter for the second game of the series, but he will likely go with an opener. Orioles: RHP Aaron Brooks (2-4, 5.46 ERA) allowed five runs and seven hits over five innings in his last start against the Angels. He has a 7.07 ERA in four appearances for Baltimore. ------ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP--Sports


Houston Texans safety Justin Reid got back to the playing field for the first time since early January in Monday's training camp. After undergoing wrist surgery and being knicked up by a drunk driver induced injury, the Texans pulled Reid off the NFI (non-football injury) list. Reid couldn't be more excited to get back to practice and build off of an outstanding rookie season. "Oh man, it feels amazing to be back on the field with the fellas," Reid told the media Monday at Methodist Training Center. "Out here having fun with the guys, able to make a few plays out on the field, it feels really good to be back. The past week I felt like I was just twiddling my thumbs so it feels good to be on the field again." A car accident, stemming from a drunk driver , prolonged his return. But he's not rattled by it. Heck, he's a football player. Reid said: "Those things just kind of happen. I kind of saw it happen in the rear view mirror. It just kind of happened. Just in the moment." However, Reid didn't get injured from the wreck, and walked away scot-free, save for a few bruises and scratches. "We just wanted to be extremely cautious and make sure that everything was all right with my body and that I was fully ready and prepared to be back on the field," Reid explained. "We have a phenomenal training staff and medical staff. I got to see all the right people and they gave me the go-ahead to be back on the field, and I'm excited as ever to be here." The 2018 third-round pick from Standford collected 88 combined tackles, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, three interceptions, including for a touchdown, and 10 pass breakups in 16 games last year, 12 of which he started.

Trump, McCain and Choosing Not to Be a Sore Loser Carl M. Cannon Thu, 30 May 2019 13:11:28 -0500Thu, 30 May 2019 13:11:28 -0500 Wednesday night, as I toggled between a televised Washington Nationals game and the Stanley Cup finals, a goofy story lit up my phone. Even in our currently deranged political environment, this sounded pretty preposterous. I thought it must be something from The Onion. But no, it apparently was real. It seems that on President Trump's weekend sojourn to Japan, some genius in the White House thought it best if the commander-in-chief was spared the torment of gazing upon a U.S. Navy destroyer-class ship moored in Yokosuka harbor -- a ship named the USS John McCain. And thus, according to the...


The Phillies are in a tailspin. The club lost its perch atop the NL East, losing 12 of its last 18 games dating back to May 30. They enter Thursday night's action four games behind the now-first-place Braves. The reasons for the slide are myriad, including a rash of injuries, but the players have also simply not played well. Understandably, fans are upset. It didn't help when, for the second time in three weeks, shortstop Jean Segura didn't run hard on a batted ball. On June 3, Segura didn't run on an infield pop-up that eventually resulted in a season-ending injury to Andrew McCutchen . On Wednesday during the second game of a doubleheader, Segura weakly hit a Max Scherzer pitch to shallow left-center that wasn't caught. Because he was watching the ball rather than running hard, he had to hold up after a wide turn around first base. To the surprise of many, Segura wasn't pulled from the game despite the lack of effort. To the even further surprise of many, manager Gabe Kapler included Segura in Thursday's lineup against the Nationals, which has otherwise been thoroughly reshuffled. Per Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer , Kapler said, "Jean is one of our eight best players. I don't think taking one of our eight best players and our shortstop out of our lineup is what's best for the Philadelphia Phillies." Kapler said he had a long talk with Segura. "I told him that we're going to address not just him but other players in the clubhouse and we're going to talk about the highest level of effort and talk about how we can't win every night but we can win the game of give-a-[hoot] and be undefeated in that category. Then we can protect the Phillies by putting the best lineup together on a nightly basis and not think about making ourselves feel better by sending a message." Kapler hit the nail on the head with that last line. Benching Segura only makes fans and pundits feel better by punishing someone for a perceived transgression. But does it actually teach anything, and is it actually beneficial to the team? Maybe to the former, and no to the latter. Matt Winkelman of Baseball Prospectus brought up a great point on Twitter, writing, "The idea that punishment is the only way to solve a problem or change behavior is such a narrow minded idea." People learn best in different ways. Some might respond well to punishment. Others may just need a good talking-to. It's a case-by-case thing. Kapler is right to apply nuance to the situation. So many of baseball's long-held beliefs have fallen to the wayside in recent years. The idea that a player must always be punished for a lack of effort will hopefully be the next one to be taken out to the dumpster.

Rodney Harrison entered the Patriots Hall of Fame on Monday. If future Hall of Fame coach Bill Belichick has his way, Harrison eventually will enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame, too. "I hope through the years here and soon hopefully there will be other Patriots in the NFL Hall of Fame," Belichick said at the induction ceremony. " This one, Rodney Harrison, deserves to be there ." Few understand football history better than Belichick. And while he has an obvious bias, he's not the type to throw out unwarranted praise. When Harrison retired a decade ago, Belichick said that Harrison was the best practice player Harrison had ever coached. Harrison also made a major impact during games with the Chargers and the Patriots, earning a pair of Super Bowl rings along the way, a spot in New England's Hall of Fame, and maybe in time a place in Canton.


There's another Maldini set to make him mark at AC Milan after making his first team debut in Tuesday's defeat to Bayern Munich. Milan may have lost the game, but it will be a day to remember for the youngster and the fans, who will be hoping he can replicate the careers of his ancestors. Here's six things to know about Milan's new Maldini. His Father Is a Milan Legend The 17-year-old is the son of club legend Paolo Maldini, who played an unprecedented 902 times for I Rossoneri. Paolo won 26 trophies during his time at Milan and is now the technical director at the club. Daniel certainly has a long way to go if he is going to replicate the successes of his father. His Grandfather Is Also a Milan Legend If having Paolo as your father wasn't enough, the youngster's grandfather Cesare Maldini also spent much of his playing career at San Siro. The Italian made 412 appearances between 1954 and 1966, and went on to manage the club on two separate occasions. He Is a Talented Winger With each passing generation it seems the Maldini's are moving further up the pitch. Cesare was a strong defender who could win any aerial battle but could also use his feet when needed. Paolo is known as one of the inventors of modern defending, his versatility allowed him to get forward to create chances and quell opposition attacks when necessary. The latest Maldini plays as a left winger. He will have his work cut out breaking into Marco Giampaolo's current Milan side, which contains the likes of Hakan Calhanoglu, Fabio Borini, Suso, and Samu Castillejo, who are all already fighting for a spot in the starting lineup. He's Got an Eye for Goal The 2017/18 season saw the teenager grab 13 goals in just 28 games for Milan's Under-17s, earning him a promotion to the Under-19s for the next season. His form continued as the Italian netted ten times in 26 matches against tougher opposition in the Under-19s, all of this from out wide. The Milan faithful will be hoping he can carry this form into the first team as soon as possible. He's Played for Italy Okay, so technically he's only been capped by the Italy Under-18 national side but that's still impressive. The young winger played earlier this year against Hungary and the Netherlands. It's a good start but he'll have to work his way up pretty quickly if he is to get anywhere near his father's 126 caps for Italy; but the 14 national appearances made by his grandfather is a more reasonable target. He Isn't the First Third Generation Footballer  Marcus Alonso also comes from a long line of professional footballers. His father Marcus Alonso Pena played for both Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, and won the La Liga in 1985. The Chelsea full-back's grandfather was nicknamed Marquitos, and conquered Europe five times with Real Madrid. Diego Forlan had an illustrious career in Spain and for the Uruguayan national side, for whom he earned the 2010 World Cup Golden Ball Award. His father, Pablo, also represented the national side, playing at two World Cups. Diego's grandfather, Juan Carlos Corazzo, both played and managed La Celeste.


James Holzhauer's leaked loss on "Jeopardy!" led to shock, disappointment and renewed debate surrounding spoilers. It also created a ratings bonanza for "Jeopardy!" Rumors of Holzhauer's pre-taped fall emerged Monday morning when video of his loss leaked out. It didn't take long for the leak to be confirmed and for the professional sports gambler to playfully imply on Twitter that his reign was coming to an end. Holzhauer finished with numerous "Jeopardy!" records, but came just short of Ken Jennings' all-time earnings record of $2,520,700. Clearly, knowing the result ahead of time pushed fans to watch Monday's episode more than it repelled them. Holzhauer's loss on "Jeopardy!" garnered a 10.1 overnight rating and reached the shows highest number of homes in 14 years, according to Deadline . What happened 14 years ago, you might ask? Well, that would be when Jennings' legendary 74-win streak came to an end. With Holzhauer now headed home, "Jeopardy!" will proceed again like it always did, though there's a good chance Holzhauer's aggressive strategy will lead to more than a few copycats. The show will also proceed having nearly topped the NBA Finals in the ratings, as noted by Sports Illustrated's Jimmy Traina . As Traina notes, Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors drew a 10.2 overnight rating on Sunday. That mark is relatively low for an NBA Finals, though that can be explained by noting that Canadian ratings aren't counted in the numbers, meaning ABC missed out on counting the majority of one team's fanbase. But still, a daily trivia game show nearly matched a major sports league's championship series. It's hard to imagine that Holzhauer's run will be reproduced anytime soon, but getting that many people to tune in just to see if he really does lose might be one of the champion's most incredible feats. And it probably couldn't have been done had word not leaked out ahead of time.
