But luck wouldn’t let that happen. In a playoff year dominated by luck, it saved Palmer and the Cardinals. Palmer gave the Cardinals the lead in the fourth quarter on a ricocheted pass that could have landed in plenty of dangerous places, but landed instead in the hands of Michael Floyd.

Lucy Lawless is being hailed as a “bada**” on social media for taking down her former co-star Kevin Sorbo in a cutting response to his tweet promoting a pro-Trump conspiracy theory. The iconic 1990s heroine swung into action after the actor peddled a false theory that left-wing activists posing as Trump supporters were responsible for Wednesday’s attack on the Capitol. “They don’t look like patriots to me…” tweeted Sorbo, an outspoken Donald Trump supporter, along with a retweeted photo of rioters that has been widely circulated....

“I’m responsible for this,” the beleaguered Barcelona boss admitted after the 4-0 drubbing at the Parc des Princes. Unsurprisingly, the media agreed wholeheartedly, with the Catalan press subjecting him to a rigorous post-match inquisition. Two familiar charges were levelled at Luis Enrique: firstly, that his perceived lack of a ‘Plan B’ had again been brutally exposed; secondly, that he had failed to rouse a response out of his players....

That’s the assessment after Severino, who was shut down during spring training with rotator cuff inflammation and then suffered a strained lat muscle during his initial rehab, saw his first true game action of 2019 on Sunday with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Lukaku’s future has been one of the biggest sagas this off-season amid interest from Inter and Serie A champions Juventus. Initially linked to Inter, Lukaku reportedly agreed a deal with Juventus until Paulo Dybala’s reluctance to move in the opposite direction scuppered a transfer to Turin. However, Inter head coach Antonio Conte – who missed out on signing Lukaku to United in 2017 during his time as Chelsea boss – is now finally set to get his man for a reported €75....

The centre-back stated after Lazio’s 2-0 derby defeat on December 4 that Rudiger “was selling socks and belts in Stuttgart until two years ago and now thinks he’s a phenomenon”, prompting outcry from a number of football fans and media outlets. ‘Lulic-Rudiger race row nothing new’ The FIGC launched an investigation and has determined that Lulic’s comments were “harmful and offensive” and announced on Thursday that it had issued a ban and a €10,000 fine....

While the rate of adenocarcinoma has been decreasing in men and leveling off in women, the numbers continue to rise in young, non-smoking women—and researchers are not entirely sure why. It is largely believed that genetics, secondhand smoke, and exposure to radon in the home are all contributing factors. Unfortunately, research into the possible causes is lacking, likely partly due to the fact that lung cancer is largely considered a “smoker’s disease....

Unfortunately, these metastases are fairly common. Up to 7% of people already have cancer cells in the brain when they are first diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and 20% to 40% of those with NSCLC will develop the complication at some point. Brain metastases occur in stage 4 lung cancer. Once NSCLC is this advanced, the prognosis is poor, with life expectancy usually being under a year. However, improved diagnostic tools, more effective treatments, and a clearer understanding of how to manage symptoms have led more people to extend their lives....

“I’m very upset, I’m hurt.

The investigation is ongoing. The shooting of the young Black teenager came just as Derek Chauvin’s guilty verdict in the death of George Floyd was announced....

Mac Jones’ confidence, maturity and perhaps even the type of player he wants to portray himself as is now all in question after his actions on Sunday afternoon against the Carolina Panthers. Actions so questionable, that the National Football League will also be involved. Did Patriots QB Mac Jones intend to hurt Brian Burns? New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was sacked by Carolina Panthers defensive end Brian Burns and subsequently fumbled the ball....

Mack Brown retells the aftermath of Texas’ 41-38 victory against USC at the 2006 Rose Bowl with unfailing accuracy. He remembers telling Edith Royal, “Get down.” The wife of legendary coach Darrell K. Royal was on a ladder replacing numbers on the equipment truck to signify the Longhorns’ 2005 season. Brown laughs about that now as he recalls walking into the “dressing room” filled with celebrities like Matthew McConaughey, Lance Armstrong, Roger Clemens and Rex Linn....

The convincing loss Saturday in South Bend only strengthened the sour taste in mouths of Longhorns fans who endured a 6-7 season last year — Strong’s first in Texas. But if there’s one man who won’t take any ownership for the recent struggles in Austin, it’s former coach Mack Brown, who told the San Antonio Express-News he feels no responsibility for the state of the program.
