The Rams haven’t been able to get off the QB carousel in 2022, with injuries to Matthew Stafford and backup John Wolford leading to a Bryce Perkins start. Now, they may start their fourth quarterback of the 2022 season if Wolford still isn’t right before game time on Thursday. The recently acquired Baker Mayfield, who the Rams picked up off waivers on Dec. 6, is ‘officially active’ and could see the field on “Thursday Night Football” if there are some unfortunate turns with Wolford’s lingering neck issue....

But how those yards were gained has to be disheartening for a Tigers’ defense that’s supposed to be among the country’s best. Syracuse picked up 151 of its 242 rushing yards on just four plays by four different players, and each went for at least 28 yards. That could be a problem against (most likely) North Carolina in the ACC Championship game. MORE: What we learned from Clemson-Syracuse | Clemson winning Dabo’s way...

LeBron James’ new partnership with Warner Bros. is probably the biggest indicator that “Space Jam 2” is close to reality, but now after Blake Griffin’s new tease for his upcoming shoe release we have more reason to speculate. MORE: Ranking the NBA’s new uniforms | Nike unveils Durant’s KD8 Griffin’s Super.Fly 4 isn’t just black, neon green and orange — the three prominent colors on the original “Space Jam” movie poster — but an appearance from Marvin the Martian sure seems like another clever link between the Looney Tunes and the NBA....

Smart was sidelined for Game 1 of the series after suffering a midfoot sprain in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Milwaukee Bucks. He made his impact felt upon his return, going for a near triple-double in Game 2 to lead the Celtics to victory, but he was injured again in Game 3. Smart suffered a bad ankle sprain in the third quarter of Game 3. He returned to play the remainder of the game but the swelling was too significant to suit up for Game 4....

Democratic Representative Elaine Luria and Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger—both military veterans—will lead the ninth hearing and deliver the closing arguments accusing the former commander in chief of the military offense. Under United States Code Title 10, Section 892, Article 92—which applies to all branches of the U.S. military—dereliction of duty is a specific offense whereby a service member “violates or fails to obey any lawful general order or regulation” or incapacitates themselves, or derelicts themselves, in a manner that prevents them from performing their duties....

Polling showed little daylight between the two. And entering the tail end of the Barack Obama presidency, Republicans appeared to be at an advantage amid lingering concerns about the state of the economy and growing pains from Democratic policies like the Affordable Care Act. In Florida, however, the key to the race was not health care, an issue that defined so many other races that election cycle. It was Florida’s property insurance crisis, and whether Jolly or Democratic challenger Alex Sink had the better policy to address the problem, which is front and center again after Hurricane Ian tore across the state this week....

Germany deserves its favorite status over Argentina in Sunday’s World Cup final, but the odds on the European side are not juicy enough to justify a wager, according to AccuScore. Instead, Argentina, as well as the draw, present the value at the bet window. As we’ve done for each game of the tournament, below we compare AccuScore’s forecast and the theoretical odds it translates into with the betting lines at two Las Vegas bet shops – the LVH SuperBook and William Hill....

The study, by the Virginia firm HP Environmental, found that the force of the explosions apparently shattered the asbestos into fibers so small that they evade the EPA’s ordinary testing methods. The EPA tests for asbestos particles greater than a half micron in size, a spokeswoman says. But the study concluded that there is such an overwhelming concentration of those ultrasmall particles that many are being missed by standard microscopy techniques....

Baking soda is pretty rough on the hair and skin. While some people might benefit from using it for an occasional deep cleanse, it’s not a good choice for regular hair-washing. [3] X Research source Baking soda also risks irritating or damaging your skin, which is a concern if you have sensitive skin or any skin conditions (like eczema or psoriasis). [5] X Research source There’s some chemistry behind this: baking soda has a pH level of around 8 or 9, whereas your hair and skin average around 3....

And nothing is less important to the world’s big lenders than the gift of forgiving. Jubilee 2000 wants them to cancel unpayable debts of the poorest countries by the start of the millennium, which is not likely. But less dramatic relief is probably on the way. After all, the World Bank reckons the 40 poorest countries owe more than $200 billion, and the idea that this burden is morally wrong is catching on....

The changes come after a federal judge in Florida struck down the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s mask mandate for airplanes and other modes of public transit on April 18. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently put out a statement saying that they will no longer enforce mask use on public transportation and transportation hubs. But the CDC currently recommends that everyone—including passengers and workers—wear masks on all public transportation and hubs....

People close by neither saw nor heard the shots. D’Antona staggered into a wall and fell to the pavement, his white shirtfront stained with blood. A tour bus full of Americans pulled up and people began shouting, “They’re shooting.” But it was all over; a block away, the gunmen hopped on a scooter and disappeared into rush-hour traffic. D’Antona died minutes later, in an ambulance. “There is little doubt of the precise preparation of the ambush and of the cold and professional execution,” said Interior Minister Rosa Russo Jervolino, addressing an emergency session of Parliament....

It’s still too early to call it one way or another on the Bears quarterback’s career, but the returns haven’t exactly been promising in his sophomore season. Fields has been one of the league’s worst passers in 2022, a trend that has unfortunately followed him from his rookie season. So far through 2022, Fields has completed 63 passes for four touchdowns, 869 yards, five interceptions, a 54.8 completion rate and a 57....

“I can’t find anything that can be valued. When there’s nothing that’s well done, it’s not individuals that fail, but the organization. There’s no justification I can offer.” He finished with a sobering remark. “We’ve never had a performance like the one today.” The Argentine is right — the mauling at the Etihad Stadium is the worst Leeds have played under the veteran coach since he arrived in West Yorkshire back in 2018; the result was the joint-worst, in terms of a losing margin, in the club’s history....

The Englishman can match Stephen Hendry’s modern record of seven titles if he prevails at this year’s event, which culminates on May 2. O’Sullivan faces Judd Trump in the final. He began his latest campaign against David Gilbert, battling from 3-0 down to win 10-5 with a highest break of 122. One-sided victories over Mark Allen and Stephen Maguire followed before a 17-11 semi-final triumph over John Higgins. But where does O’Sullivan rank among the sport’s greats?...

Before the conflict in Ukraine erupted in February 2022, Russia was widely seen as a force to be reckoned with. Sure, the Russian economy was smaller than Italy’s. The Russian budget relied extensively on oil and gas exports. And the Russian military was largely untested in conventional warfare, with the Kremlin increasingly turning to mercenaries in locales like Mali, the Central African Republic, and Syria instead of professional soldiers. But there was a general assumption that Moscow had the capacity and motivation to effectively pursue their security interests—with force, if necessary....

The problem is not resolved by deleting the app and redownloading it, either. It seems to be a problem within the iPhone app alone, as users have reported Spotify working normally on Android devices, as well as on desktop and through the web version. Facebook confirmed that the crash was caused by an issue with its iOS software developer kit (SDK) that is embedded in the Spotify app. Other apps that use the software to manage their log-ins also experienced issues today, including Pinterest, Tinder, PUBG Mobile, and Mario Kart....
