Bad matchups for at least a few receivers are a given every week, but the bad quarterback play that continues to spread throughout the league is a bigger worry. DeAndre Hopkins and Demaryius Thomas were able to shake off their QB woes and post good games in Week 9, but based on what we saw from Hopkins last year and the fact Thomas hadn’t scored in practically an entire season’s worth of games before last week’s garbage-time TD, we all know that’s not a guarantee going forward....

Monday was something … special. The Giants hosed out the stables with the firings of their head coach and general manager and the reinstatement of their franchise quarterback. Rob Gronkowski got served his medicine for his blatantly cheap shot on the Bills’ Tre’davious White. The Steelers and Bengals got into a free-for-all, most of which took place after Ryan Shazier had to be taken off the field on a backboard....

Last week ended our streak of 100-plus point days, falling just short at 94 points, but we nailed Bortles, Mark Ingram and Kenyan Drake. We stick with Bortles, adding a couple of his teammates to the mix, and some low-salary picks who are expected to easily exceed their value thanks to injuries to their teammates.

One of the issues with playing into Week 17 is that some teams have nothing to play for at this point in the season. This year, that would constitute all teams that have been eliminated from the playoffs and the Kansas City Chiefs, as they have locked up the AFC’s No. 1 seed already. The Chiefs and some of the eliminated teams could opt to rest their starters because of injury risk, so that will be something to watch this week....
We belong to different political parties, but we share a commitment to ensuring that January 6 is a turning point in this history of America, not a harbinger of more to come. And we believe that will only be possible if we begin to address the underlying issues of how we got here in the first place. There is no doubt that President Donald Trump is directly responsible for inciting the assault on the Capitol....
At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic they were hailed as heroes for seamlessly pivoting to remote learning. But as some schools stayed closed for over a year, teachers were blamed for learning loss. When schools reopened, teachers contended with bad ventilation and overcrowded classrooms, rising misbehavior and criticism for teaching “divisive concepts” like racism and antisemitism. At a breaking point, teachers are retiring early and quitting in droves, exacerbating an existing teacher shortage....

The France international left Juve for Old Trafford in a then-record €105million move in August 2016.

Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Wednesday said his government will do anything for cricketer S. Sreesanth as “he is our pride”. Chandy was responding to a question about the former Indian speedster who was absolved of all charges of spot-fixing by a Delhi court last month. After being named as an accused by the police following which he was jailed, the state finance department here had removed Sreesanth as the brand ambassador of Karunya – a state government weekly lottery the proceeds of which are used to run a medical reimbursement programme....

David Ferrer took one look at the weather in Paris on Sunday morning and knew right away that his already slim chances of upsetting Rafael Nadal in the French Open final had just got slimmer. Rain and unseasonally cold temperatures in the French capital were the last thing the 31-year-old Spaniard wanted to see for his first Grand Slam final in what was his 42nd attempt. His intuition proved to be spot on as he lost 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 to a player he considers to be a close friend, but a merciless adversary on court....
