During Sunday’s Jaguars-Rams game, Stockton made a hilarious mistake when he read his ad-prompt notes: MORE: Gronkowski brothers land ‘Shark Tank’ investments “Look on graphic for the final two bullet points,” said Stockton. Live TV is so great. Ron Burgundy would be so proud.
If the examples of other busted plots in Britain—and one horribly effective one on London’s buses and underground trains on July 7, 2005—are any indication, the question of just how serious, how real, how extensive, how precisely connected to other networks these alleged conspirators may have been will linger for years, until their trials are over, and possibly long afterward. Yet in a literal sense the “intellectual authors” of the earlier plots and very probably of this one, already are well known....
But did the defending NASCAR champion have an extra advantage over his competition? MORE: Chase rankings for Round 2 | NASCAR at Charlotte schedule Eyebrows were raised after the race when Harvick wildly burned out his tires on the Delaware track and backed his car into the wall, creating damage to the rear of the No. 4 car. Some of his competitors claimed Harvick’s celebratory burnout was an attempt to cover up illegal modifications made to the car....
The show hosts are convinced “Mike in Waltham” is really Irving. Listen to the call and decide for yourself: NBA DRAFT WINNERS & LOSERS:Pelicans, Grizzlies build bright futures; Suns, Wizards reach This isn’t the first time a sports star has been accused of calling into a radio show pretending to be someone else. In 2016, a Patriots fan named Matt called into Boston’s “Toucher and Rich” radio — and there was a lot of speculation that it was Tom Brady....
MTO News reported the alleged breakup on Monday, quoting a friend of Bidot’s, whose exact identity remains unknown, and who said that Bidot supposedly dumped Wayne because she didn’t want to date a Trump supporter. “She broke up with Wayne. It wasn’t just his Trump support, but that was a big part,” the friend claimed. The friend also reportedly said: “[Bidot] was shocked when she saw Wayne come out with Trump....
The Yale Ph.D. candidate’s phenomenal 38-game win streak came to an end during Monday’s episode, when he landed in last place in the “Final Jeopardy” round after failing to answer the clue correctly—unlike his two opponents. Going into the round $4,000 behind the leading opponent and $3,800 behind the second-placed player, Amodio bet less than half of his $10,600 earned during the game. Winner Jonathan Fisher doubled his earnings to end on $29,200, while Jessica Stephens finished with a score of $28,799....
Matt Miller, who was communications director for the House Democratic Caucus in 2005, testified before the ethics committee that he gave the e-mails to the DCCC. Miller was also the source who gave the e-mails to reporters from The Miami Herald and the St. Petersburg Times, and later, to a reporter for Harper’s magazine. As a part of a “gut check,” Miller testified, he shared the e-mails with the “communications director at the DCCC....
SECRETARY OF STATE Madeleine Albright loves to explain. With her big hats and firm but flirtatious style, she has made rapt pupils out of foreign ministers and average Americans. Yet last week she seemed to be struggling. Maybe it was the raucous hecklers who tried to shout her down at an ill-conceived ““town meeting’’ at Ohio State University. But even with friendlier audiences and sympathetic anchorpersons, she had difficulty answering some pretty basic questions....

But do the risks of eating fish outweigh the benefits? For most, fish can still safely be considered a health food. In November, the American Heart Association said that it’s better to eat fish than to avoid it, especially since there are still plenty of seafoods like cod, farmed tilapia and shellfish that remain pure. And while the fish richest in omega-3s often have the highest levels of contaminants, they are still safe, to a point....
Reddit user Lapislazli, who said they were an employee of the company in question, shared the story, where they revealed they worked for a “multinational fortune 500 tech company.” They explained the stark difference in laws governing the French workers, versus their American counterparts. “The engineers in SF called into their morning meeting and then an hour later got a call from HR with a return shipping label for their hardware, no notice and a week of severance,” they wrote....
Yet, for the moment, the beauty of digital TV is only screen-deep. Behind the extraordinary pictures is a blizzard of confusing static and conflict, along with a surprise or two. Several computer-industry giants, all of whom see the TV set morphing into the computer in the digital age, are bluntly challenging consumer-electronics giants in the race to supply the home appliances to receive digital TV. Among them is software giant Microsoft, which also pounced last week to secure a spot in the merging worlds of TV, the Internet and computers by acquiring WebTV, the fledgling deliverer of the Net directly to TV sets....
“This might be the most important part of the film,” D’Souza tells Newsweek about his movie, dubbed Trump Card: Beating Socialism, Corruption and the Deep State. “Trump doesn’t do narratives. He’s good with the zingers but he’s not an explainer. A classic example is when he asked in the debate why Hunter Biden got $3.5 million from Moscow. He doesn’t explain, but we do.” The movie also delves into allegations that Hunter Biden took money from Ukraine and China, the latter of which is explored in a clip from the movie embedded in this story....
Washington was not oblivious to the change in perceptions, yet old habits die hard. President George W. Bush’s trade representative, Robert Zoellick, left Cancun railing against his developing-world challengers and then went on a vendetta, one that has gone largely unremarked upon in the West. Washington let Costa Rica and Guatemala know that their membership in the G21 would be punished, perhaps by exclusion from the planned Central American Free Trade Area....
Security (or the lack of it) is one of those rare things on which everyone agrees in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Both sides want it for their own people. Both sides use it to intimidate the enemy. And the whole world knows that there can be no serious peace talks until the streets of Jerusalem and Jenin feel less like a war zone and more like civilization. The Bush administration has faced this simple truth for its entire time in office....
“No way that Dirk Nowitzki is better than Larry, and Dirk is a first-rate — he’s an All-Star," Abdul-Jabbar told KRLD-FM 105.3 in Dallas at the time. “Absolutely any time he’s been on the All-Star team, he’s deserved it. But Larry, I think, had more going in terms of leadership.” MORE: Classic photos of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar | Trump says Kareem doesn’t have ‘a clue about life’ Fast-forward to 2015 and Nowitzki’s new teammate Deron Williams, who isn’t engaging in that debate but is showing himself to be a Dirk fan....
The Mavericks legend scored his team’s first 10 points in Tuesday’s matchup against the Suns. The 40-year-old is likely a first ballot Hall of Famer. Nowitzki is sixth on the NBA’s All-Time scoring list and entered Tuesday with 31,510 points in a career that has spanned two decades. While the German superstar hasn’t announced any plan to retire, many expect him to hang it up after the season. Nowitzki, a 2007 MVP, 2011 NBA champion and 14-time All-Star, won’t be heading to the playoffs this year....
A Norwegian group carried out their protest after saying they have found multiple faults with their electric vehicles. The protest lasted for 24 hours, starting on Saturday, August 27 at 11:00 a.m. and ending Sunday morning. A list of alleged complaints includes poor customer service, rust, and bubbles in seats.

Reddit user u/LeetTT-_- shared the picture Tuesday, along with the caption: “Was traveling on Ryanair and this guy kept touching me with his f**king bare feet.” With more than 18,000 upvotes and thousands of comments, the internet has shared their disgust at the passenger’s feet. Travel company Expedia surveyed 18,229 people across 23 countries about airplane etiquette and found that more than 90 percent of people said that being barefoot during a flight is not acceptable, with 74 percent saying that they always keep both their shoes and socks on during a flight....
The dismal science has grabbed a couch. After failing to find answers with brute computing power, economics is now seeking help from psychology. Known as “behavioral economics,” this controversial combination of psychological insights and economic methods is moving fast into the mainstream. After Years as a fringe idea, it’s being taught at Princeton, studied in Washington and preached at investment seminars from coast to coast. Business is paying close attention, too....
