Oh, I get it. I see what you did there. The Jaguars were playing the Steelers and football is important, so the best choice was clearly to bridge the gap between sport and international health epidemic by fingerpainting a slogan on a plain white sign to make light of thousands of deaths in an impoverished part of the world. Sort of a play on the Siege of Fott Pitt for the modern era....
Earlier this week, Sportsnet reported the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL acquired the rights to Blackmon. There are a lot of steps involved for this to happen, but first he would need to get out of his contract with Jacksonville, which the franchise is apparently not willing to do.

Currently on a five-match unbeaten run, the Jaipur based franchisee haven’t just done well but ensured that with 3 matches to play, they remain frontrunners to seal a play-off spot too. Talking straight after last night’s win over Puneri Paltans, raider Sonu Narwal explained how the team has managed to pull off, “We were a little complacent to start with and hence initially this season, some of the results didn’t go our away....
McCaul was one of 175 GOP representatives who voted last week against forming a bipartisan commission to investigate the events of the Capitol riot. While the bill was able to pass in the Democratic-led House, it failed in the Senate Friday when 35 Republicans voted against the legislation through a filibuster. On State of the Union, Tapper pressed the Texas Republican on why he voted against the bill, which would have been modeled after the 9/11 commission in order to investigate the facts and circumstances that led to the January 6 attack....
Both teams are coming into this contest on the back of losses from their previous encounters. While the Juggles lost to the Dhanbad Dynamos, the Strickers fell to a loss against the Bokaro Blasters. However, the Strickers have been a little more consistent in the competition than the Jugglers, and hence, the former will walk into this competition as the favourites to walk away with a win. Squads to choose from Singhbum Strikers Sumit Kumar, Arvind Kumar, Krishna, Pratik Bhakat, Ajay Yadav Ankit Kumar, Vinayak Vikram, Kumar Suraj, Amardeep Singh, Roushan Nirala, Anshu Singh, Bal, Shiva Singh, Aryamaan Lala, Kumar Karan, Wilfred Beng and Sharandeep Singh...
Even Winston’s attorney, David Cornwell, says the former Florida State quarterback needs to grow up. MORE: Reports: Jets looking to replace Geno Smith | Mariota’s Chargers visit fuels rumors Winston’s off-field issues range from a rape allegation that did not result in any charges or discipline to video of him stealing crab legs from a Publix supermarket to him yelling an obscene phrase at a student union table, a misstep that got him suspended for a game....
England’s record wicket-taker experimented with a few bold hairdos during the early days of his career, but has sported a more conservative look in recent years. However, on day one of Lancashire’s County Championship clash with Somerset, the 35-year-old caused many an eyebrow to be raised as he took to the field with his hair dyed platinum blonde. Sadly for Anderson, his new look was the main talking point on a personal level at Old Trafford as he finished the day without a wicket, while his former England colleague Marcus Trescothick, who fractured the fifth metartasal on his right foot, and George Bartlett scored centuries to help Somerset to 321-5 at stumps....
Perhaps to commemorate April Fool’s Day, or simply because Gunn is a virtuoso-level troll, the beloved director recently decided to (sort of) share a new behind-the-scenes shot on the set of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 featuring one particular highly-anticipated new character. Fans of either the comics or last year’s surprisingly fantastic Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy video game are likely already excited about the presence of Adam Warlock in the next chapter of Gunn’s popular film adaptation....
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, playing with KD and Kyrie Irving with the Nets is “resonating” with the Rockets guard. The teams have not yet engaged in trade discussions, Wojnarowski reported. Harden isn’t the first Houston star to think about being traded recently. Russell Westbrook is rumored to be involved in trade discussions as the NBA Draft approaches. If Brooklyn were to acquire Harden, then it would make him teammates with Durant again after they spent three seasons (2009-12) together with the Thunder early in their careers....
As Alexander left the mound Monday trailing No. 1 Oklahoma 6-1 in the bottom of the fifth, fans — both in JMU’s purple and gold and Oklahoma’s crimson and cream — stood on their feet to applaud the redshirt senior.

Speaking on CNN on Thursday, Mattis said Moscow had “mucked around” in American elections, something that his former boss has refused to admit despite extensive evidence. However, Mattis again refused to openly criticize Trump on his Russia strategy or any other issue. Mattis appeared with CNN host Jake Tapper to promote his new book: “Call Sign Chaos: Learning to Lead,” which was released earlier this week. The book promises insight into Mattis’ long career in the military and his reputation as one of the great military strategic thinkers of his generation....
Now they’ll adhere to basic NCAA policies and procedures while working to establish Wiseman’s eligibility to play in the 2019-20 season. After six days and two games’ worth of open defiance of NCAA authority, the Memphis athletic department has consented to follow the organization’s methodology for eligibility cases and declared Wiseman ineligible on Thursday. That is the first step in the process of getting him onto the court permanently for the Tigers, without future repercussions....
The university said (per college basketball reporter Andy Katz) that a temporary restraining order issued by a Tennessee judge allowed Wiseman to stay on the court for the time being. DeCOURCY: Memphis fans who remember ‘strict liability’ view NCAA with suspicion Leslie Ballin, one of Wiseman’s attorneys, told reporters at a news conference (per the Memphis Commercial Appeal) that the judge in Shelby County, Tenn. (Memphis is the county seat), placed a hold on the NCAA’s ruling, pending “further litigation....
Including, it would seem, coaching. Georgia Tech posted a viral clip Saturday of the entertainer portraying a football coach. Not only did Foxx get the Southern accent right, but also added some football terminology, colorful language and physical comedy to really tie the performance together.

The guard made a questionable decision when he declined his $6.4 million player option to stay in Cleveland at the start of free agency. Cleveland.com recently reported the Cavs’ offer was significantly less than what the option would have been for Smith.

Appearing on a recent episode of the “All Things Covered” podcast, Smith revealed that Dekker was the only player in his NBA career who he didn’t get along with. Smith has had many teammates, playing for five different NBA teams from 2004 to 2020, so the fact that he didn’t like Dekker really stands out. “Throughout my whole career, it’s only one teammate I really don’t like. And he know that....
The Memphis Zoo announced Thursday morning that it’s naming its newest animal, a baby giraffe, after Morant. The name? Ja Raffe. Ja Raffe was born on Nov. 10, according to the zoo’s release. He’s the son of Niklas and Angela Kate, and he’s got an 18-month old sister, Ally. Morant apparently made quite the impression on Memphis in his Rookie of the Year season out of Murray State.
