A Kellen Moore broken ankle means Dallas is left with rookie Dak Prescott and second-year undrafted free agent Jameill Showers behind fragile starter Tony Romo. Everybody knows that’s not ideal … everybody but Jones, apparently. “I’m really more encouraged after this about holding our pat hand on a veteran quarterback than before,” Jones told ESPN on Sunday. “If we continue to see this kind of improvement and see this kind of instinctive (play) and really look very comfortable, if we can see this that will give us some running room out there....

This much was confirmed by Arkane Studios lead designer Ricardo Bare, who explained that while he couldn’t share exactly what the developer could have planned for the future, it’s a safe bet that Dishonored will be out of the mix for a while. According to the Arkane lead designer, “I can’t say definitively what might happen down the road, anything could happen, but [Dishonored] is resting for now.” While Dishonored 3 will likely be a long ways off from now, most fans should share a collective sigh of relief knowing that there’s simply going to be a much bigger breathing space between the second and third entry....

A victory for the president is priced at 9-1, implying a 9 percent chance of re-election, Betfair said. Joe Biden has odds of 1-10, implying a 91 chance of taking the White House. In four of the five crucial states yet to declare a winner, Betfair is offering lengthening odds for a Trump victory. While bookmakers’ prices do not always correlate with the political reality on the ground, such short odds for the Democratic challenger suggest many believe the momentum is now with Biden....
According to an analysis from CNN, Trump has taken questions from members of the media on just two public occasions since the presidential race seven weeks ago. He’s also done only one on-camera interview during that period, which was with Fox News host Brian Kilmeade. The first time the president answered questions from reporters was on Thanksgiving, according to CNN. Speaking to the White House press pool, Trump continued to air out his grievances about the 2020 election process and doubled down on many baseless allegations of fraud....
During a press conference at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf course, Trump, the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit, claimed that he and other conservatives were wrongfully censored by the platforms. Twitter and Facebook suspended Trump amid concerns that he could spur additional violence after a mob of his supporters assaulted the U.S. Capitol on January 6. The former president currently can’t post on either platform. “We’re demanding an end to the shadow-banning, a stop to the silencing and a stop to the blacklisting, banishing and canceling that you know so well,” he said....

And now, Trump Jr. has vowed that he’ll press his father to disclose information about aliens and Area 51 during the match. “We’re gonna ask a lot of awesome questions, I’m definitely asking about aliens because I think now, maybe we get a solid answer on what exactly is going on in Area 51 and everywhere else, you’re gonna want to listen, you’re gonna want to tune in,” Trump Jr....
We were not two minutes into Sunday’s presidential debate when this line came from Donald Trump yet again as an answer to why he had bragged about how his wealth and power allowed him to grope women, sexually assault them and, yes, “grab them by the pussy.” MORE: Trump’s banter about raunchy Tiger Woods resurfaces And then he doubled down on this misogynistic, sexist BS by calling this “just words....
Trump made the outlandish claim during a press conference following a briefing from senior military officials at the White House. He told assembled reporters that a “top general” explained the predicament when he took office in 2016. “When I took over our military, we did not have ammunition,” Trump said. “I was told by a top general, maybe the top of them all, ‘Sir, I’m sorry sir, we don’t have ammunition....

There are so many terrific stories among the eight new playoff teams. Buffalo gets in courtesy of a last-minute, 49-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-12 by the Bengals that knocked out the Ravens, qualifying the Bills for their first playoff appearance since the Music City Miracle game in Nashville in 1999 (which I so fondly remember, as it launched the Titans on a Super Bowl runof which I was a part)....

It’s a cunning trick because so many people are facing the strain financially and the ‘news’ that they’re entitled to a rebate because of hardship can tempt them to click the link....
The short answer is no. Despite most schools losing millions annually from their football programs, those programs are important to the overall student experience schools offer their students. Colleges and universities focus on offering an education, and helping prepare their students for entry into the workforce. At the same time, schools need to pay attention to the experience they offer their students and football plays an important role in that student experience....

On Tuesday, German Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger called for boycotting the Sochi Olympics in protest against the recently adopted Russian law banning gay propaganda among children, reports Xinhua....
