Easy: Have Dick LeBeau retire, and hire Rex Ryan. STEELE: No circus or hype: Browns look like winners | Stats | Week 6 must-see images Does that mean all that still ails the Steelers’ defense in 2014 is on LeBeau? Not close. There’s the same old refrain of being too long in the tooth at several positions, and not being able to find the right young players to replace them....
Wait. He’s allowed to have an opinion, right? After all, he said the Browns were going to get “clapped” by the Chiefs in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs, and for that he was excoriated by many in the media and public — even though that prediction turned out, more or less, to be correct. Perhaps he shouldn’t even bother with something as routine as a Super Bowl pick....
A number of monuments honoring Confederate leaders have recently been defaced and torn down by Black Lives Matter protesters, including those in Virginia, North Carolina, California, Oregon and Alabama. “Statues of Jesus are next. It won’t end. Pray for the USA,” Schlapp tweeted. On Saturday, as a result of a series of protests across the U.S., North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper officially ordered the removal of all Confederate monuments on Capitol grounds....
Using stereotypes—about blacks, Jews, women, and gays and lesbians—has been a part of Imus’s act for decades. I first listened to his show when I moved to New York in 1989 as a 22-year-old writer for NEWSWEEK. His comedy skits were often the subject of water-cooler discussion, so I felt Imus was must-hear radio. But I soon discovered his blatantly racist skits made my skin crawl. His “jokes” in the 1980s and ’90s included skits in which the radio host and his sidekicks mimicked African-American public figures with deeply offensive stereotyped voices or called them racial names—like “bugaloo” for Johnnie Cochran, or “cleaning lady” for reporter Gwen Ifill....
One has to credit these athletes, who, recognizing that cheating by elite American stars has tarnished their sport into virtual irrelevance in their country, are trying to find a new path. But they face a daunting task if they hope to rehabilitate their sport’s image. Recent history has taught us that the simple fact that an athlete denies ever having tested positive for drugs is no proof that he or she doesn’t use them....
South America’s biennial competition, which has been held since 1916, has-this time around-been an on-again, off-again affair after a high official in Colombia’s soccer federation was kidnapped by rebels late last month. Though he was released a few days later, Colombia, fearful for the security of the sprawling event, which it is hosting for the first time in more than 50 years, canceled Copa. It brought back memories of Colombia’s humiliation of 1986 when, having been awarded the World Cup, it was taken away because of civil unrest and played instead in Mexico....
We can endlessly parse the meaning of the word “valuable” and wonder how valuable any ballplayer, even the incomparable A-Rod, can be when his team finishes in last place. Where would the Texas Rangers have been without their MVP shortstop? Well, still last. OK, maybe a little laster. The awarding of the coveted National League MVP award to Barry Bonds provoked plenty of debate, too. And it is not exactly the kind that Major League Baseball covets....
The cheap shot occurred early in the first period of Dallas’ 5-3 victory in Boston. MORE: Biting in hockey | Roussel’s tribute to Charlie Hebdo McQuaid took a run at Roussel near the boards and missed. Roussel took exception and retaliated with the cross-check. McQuaid dropped to the ice for a moment, and Roussel was handed a five-minute major and a game misconduct. McQuaid spent some time in the dressing room after the hit but returned to the game....

All through its development - from alpha all the way up to its stable release - the developers at Klei Entertainment have put a great amount of stock in the voice of their playing community. One of the most contentious ideas purported by fans has been the inclusion of a multiplayer component. For a game based around simply surviving any number of horrors, what could be more fun than tackling the inevitable with a friend?...
Johansen is hosting the “Re-Open Maine” Convoy and Parade, a protest scheduled for Monday, April 20 at noon which will circle the Governor’s Mansion in Augusta to protest Mills’ stay-at-home orders instated to stop the spread of coronavirus. Another group plans on protesting the state capitol Monday as well. Johansen’s Facebook event page for the protest at the Governor’s Mansion states, “It is time we sent our governor this message: ‘Maine needs to get back to work, we understand that this disease is contagious, and we are responsibly following the guidelines....
Currently, Democrats hold governorships in 22 states, while Republican governors lead 28 states. Open races in states easily won by President Joe Biden in 2020—and abortion emerging as a key issue after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the case that guaranteed abortion-rights to women across the country—raises Democratic hopes of flipping the top office in several states despite a national environment favoring Republicans. Recent polling shows Democrats are strongly favored to win the gubernatorial races in Massachusetts and Maryland, two of the most Democratic states in the country that are currently led by moderate Republican governors who have spoken out against former President Donald Trump....

Well, it was England’s turn to shine in the 3rd Test and they have started it well. Michael Clarke won the toss and surprisingly chose to bat on the green surface at Edgbaston. It was the good toss to lose for Alastair Cook’s side as they restricted the Aussies for just 136 runs. James Anderson was the hero with the bowl for England by adding 6 wickets to his tally....
Egyptian ace Mo Salah came under the spotlight last season, scoring a record-breaking 32 goals in the Premier League, ultimately winning the Golden Boot for the achievement. The Liverpool forward also helped his side reach the Champions League final where they went head-to-head with La Liga giants Real Madrid. However, the Egyptian kicked off the current season to a dull start, struggling in front of goal and looking far from the player we saw last campaign....
Depay ended last season as top scorer in the Dutch league but his goalscoring form seems to have evaded him this season. He has been widely criticized for his lack of end product in front of goal despite taking several shots. Depay has the worst shot conversion ratio of any Manchester United player this season with a minimum of 20 shots. His shot conversion rate stands at a shocking 5....

After winning the toss, Sri Lanka decided to bat. Opener Dimuth Karunaratne scored 196 and on the back of fifties from Dinesh Chandimal, Niroshan Dickwella and Dilruwan Perera, Sri Lanka posted 482.
