The league placed Chickillo on the Commissioner’s Exempt List Oct. 20 after his arrest in Pennsylvania on charges he assaulted his girlfriend, Canadian pole vaulter Alysha Newman, during an altercation at a casino hotel. It removed him from the list Oct. 31, a day after the charges were dropped. Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said when Chickillo came off the list that the NFL would continue to investigate the matter....

MORE: Week 6 pics | Recap | WATCH: Polamalu delivers huge hit To hold a Jets team that was building momentum – albeit coming off a short week after an impressive win in Atlanta Monday night – without a touchdown overall and without a point in the second half, says that the Steelers may have found themselves during their post-London bye last week. The defense that is accustomed to setting the tone but which has given up 74 points in their last two games and had not gotten a takeaway all year, intercepted Geno Smith twice and sacked him three times....

Farmers in Stardew Valley are initially given one farm to start out with, featuring a certain number of farm-able tiles depending on the type selected. Each farm map also features a Greenhouse, which players can complete tasks to repair and then grow crops year-round, even during the winter. Later, as of the game’s 1.5 update, players were granted access to a second farm, located on the tropical Ginger Island, which also allowed for year-round farming....

On his official Twitter page, Barone aka ConcernedApe, announced that Stardew Valley has officially sold over 10 million copies since its launch in February 2016. To put that number into perspective, Final Fantasy XV, arguably one of the most anticipated role-playing games of this console generation, has sold just over nine million copies since its release in November 2016.

—The late Illinois Sen. Everett Dirksen My mind keeps stumbling over a bad joke. There are these two guys. Let’s call them Bud Selig and Theo Epstein. Selig telephones Epstein and says … Selig: I have some good news and some bad news. Epstein: What’s the good news? Selig: Your Red Sox have won the Daisuke Matsuzaka auction, an absolute steal at $51.1 million. Epstein: That’s super! So what’s the bad news?...

The reality, though, is that “Mark Starr Meets” wouldn’t make for a very good TV series. We sportswriters have conversations across a notepad with hundreds of athletes, but meet very few in the real sense of the word. It’s the rare athlete who has an inclination for any intimacy with the press. But every so often an athlete steps outside of the bounds of that limited formula and sits down with you, breaks bread, maybe even hoists a glass....

Every sportswriter started out, in my case long ago, as a sports fan. Much of the affection disappears along the way with the succession of inevitably bruising intersections of reporter and athlete. Of those, baseball often produces the most combustible. I’m not sure why, but I have a theory. Basketball, football and hockey players are all so drained by their exertions that by the time we impose on them in the locker room after their games, they usually just want to say their short piece and escape....

It’s not that the Stars don’t believe in Lehtonen. It’s just they believe there is need for two quality goaltenders.

If the Stars sign Niemi before he becomes an unrestricted free agent, they will have a goalie tandem that soaks up $10 million or more in salary-cap money....

It only tells fans who was able to be in the right place at the right time in the group qualifying format Saturday. Brian Vickers, who is on the pole, certainly could be a threat to win. But don’t count out the people throughout the field. And if you’re wondering why Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Justin Allgaier and Joe Nemechek are starting, they’re not. Stenhouse and Allgaier didn’t make the race as they got in a bad spot in their qualifying drafts while Nemechek’s car failed post-qualifying tech....

Thematically backed by Del Shannon’s “Runaway,” the trailer sheds some light on the nature of Dexter Morgan’s new cover life. “I’ve always had my demons,” he says to what appears to be an off-screen therapist, “so I went away.” But as regular viewers of the original series know, and as Dexter himself admits shortly after, he still has that certain urge that he can’t ignore. (No, that urge is not to forget the original’s widely hated ending)....

Planners outlined NATO’s largest military deployment in its history–60,000 men, a third of them American. The job: policing a 12-mile-wide disengagement zone in Bosnia for a year. The cost to the United States: $1.5 billion. The president was up on the details and prepped to parry questions from the congressional heavyweights, one participant said. Afterward, House Speaker Newt Gingrich remarked that it had been one of the best presidential briefings he’d ever attended....

Wherever they were, they probably were slowly dying. Because the country is facing a whopping grain shortfall of 2.1 million tons, most North Koreans now get rations of only 100 grams of rice per day. That’s a small handful, not enough to keep anyone alive for long. The government recently confirmed that 134 children died of malnutrition last year. According to U.S. intelligence reports, more than 100,000 could die this summer, and without a massive aid campaign, many times that number won’t live until the end of the year....

Schools across the U.S. are beginning to reopen their doors to students or making plans for the upcoming year after having closed in the spring to slow the spread of the new coronavirus. So far in the school year, schools in at least six states had to once again close down because of COVID-19 infections, prompting concerns about the safety and efficiency of having in-person classes in the fall....

He had previously played in all the 98 Test matches South Africa played since making his debut on December 17, 2014. AB de Villiers opted out from the ongoing Bangladesh tour and unfortunately this ended his streak. Playing 100 Test matches is a major milestone for any player, but playing all 100 matches without missing any in between is a bigger feat that that. Anyway, AB de Villiers does hold the record of most consecutive Test matches since debut....

Viljoen is not the first cricketer to take a wicket with his first ball in international cricket, but this is a very exclusive list, and Viljoen is the 20th bowler with this feat in Test cricket. 17 bowlers have done this feat in ODI cricket. Viljoen was picked in the team ahead of Kyle Abbott for the 3rd Test, and what made the occasion even more special for the debutant was that he was bowling at his home stadium, The Wanderers....

Through the Los Angeles Dodgers' early season slide into last place, the injuries to key players, and the reports that his job was in jeopardy, the third-year manager kept his cool. He told everyone that the talent was there and the team's fortunes would change. Did they ever. The Dodgers went on a 42-8 tear from late June to mid-August to win the NL West and earn their first playoff appearance in four years....

The notable thing was not that Russell was able to crack the worm’s code, but that he was able to copy it. After two days Code Red II instructs the infected computer to reboot, effectively erasing all traces of itself, but not before spreading to other machines and leaving behind two back doors, which allow computer intruders, or “black hats,” to return at a future date and penetrate the system....
