The report from ESPN’s Josina Anderson indicated someone said the offense is getting too complicated for Carson Wentz and that it has affected his deep ball throwing. “(The anonymous player) said, ‘Even Peyton Manning knew when to check it down,’” Anderson said Thursday on “NFL Live," via 94 WIP in Philadelphia. Alshon Jeffery doesn’t think much of the report which came from an anonymous source. “It sounds like a story being made up to me," Jeffery said, via the New York Post....

Speaking with Politico, several top Republican operatives, including donors and activists, spoke about the effect the hearings are having on Trump’s viability going forward. While they noted that the former president remains popular with certain voters who view the hearings as insubstantial, many other party operatives are becoming fatigued by the drama, even as they have not yet written off Trump completely. “Trump is facing an important onslaught of negative facts with these hearings and there is no real defense,” GOP donor Dan Eberhart told Politico....

On Tuesday, the Tampa Bay Times obtained arrest footage from August showing law enforcement officers from the Tampa Bay Police Department and the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office notifying the suspects that they were being arrested for alleged voter fraud. “What is going on?” one person, identified as Tony Patterson, asked officers while being placed in handcuffs. The new videos comes several months after DeSantis announced that he was creating the Office of Election Crimes and Security to investigate possible election crimes....

As DeSantis has ramped up the opening of monoclonal antibody sites in Florida this month, the governor was joined by the nation’s top infectious disease expert in recommending the treatment on Tuesday. During a White House COVID-19 briefing, Fauci called the treatment both “effective” yet “underutilized” by most physicians treating early cases of the virus. Monoclonal antibodies, which can be produced in unlimited qualities in a lab, work by binding to viruses the way normal antibodies do....

The Republican governor’s case will now be heard by a panel of 15 judges on Tallahassee’s 1st District Court of Appeal, and could ultimately make it to Florida’s Supreme Court. DeSantis said during a Friday news conference that he’s against any requirements on a governmental or business level to wear masks or take other actions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. “We’ve got to protect people’s ability to live their lives,” DeSantis said....

DeSantis, during a Tuesday press conference for the signing of a bill designed to improve accountability for higher education in the state, made the comments that Florida may pursue some type of action when it comes to Musk’s attempt to buy the social media site. This comes after Musk offered to buy 100 percent of the popular platform, offering more than $40 billion. However, in response to Musk’s offer, Twitter adopted the “poison pill....

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar announced during a press conference on Monday an investigation would begin into reports that migrants living in his county, which includes San Antonio, had been “preyed upon” for “political theater.” DeSantis, a Republican, took credit last week for the surprise arrival of two planes of migrants to the affluent Massachusetts enclave. Despite accusations of human trafficking laws being violated and now a local investigation, DeSantis maintains that he wishes to help....

In an already demanding midterm election year, the Democratic party now faces the fight against a Republican-majority congressional map, submitted in January by DeSantis, that would break up U.S. Representative Al Lawson’s district, one of the two historically Black districts in the state. The House plans to vote on the congressional maps on Friday, and DeSantis has already proposed his plan to veto the decision. He called out the redistricting plans for being unconstitutional, condemning the Senate plans for racial gerrymandering....

That’s an exaggeration. So far, there’s been no bloodshed. But Shevardnadze warned last week that the protests had brought Georgia “to the brink of civil war.” Opposition leader Mikhail Saakashvili called on all Georgians to “declare civil disobedience to the Shevardnadze regime.” The prospect of instability has rung alarm bells in the United States, which has made a major diplomatic investment in an oil pipeline from the Caspian port of Baku to the Mediterranean, running through Georgian territory....

NRTIs work by blocking an enzyme called reverse transcriptase that HIV needs to replicate. By doing so, the virus can be suppressed to undetectable levels, thereby preventing disease progression. Approved for the treatment of HIV by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2015, Descovy is used in combination with at least one other antiretroviral drug. There are no generic versions of Descovy and no liquid suspensions for children....

You got the flag one, didn’t you? But what about the other three? These are just a few of the questions people may be asked to answer if they are taking the test to become citizens of the United States. That’s a good thing. A working knowledge of the governing processes and the history of our country can be reasonably expected of those who want to share in the benefits and responsibilities of being American....

Ashley Solis and Kyla Hayes, two of the women accusing Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson of sexual misconduct, spoke out against the quarterback and his gaudy contract on Tuesday night. The accusers spoke with Soledad O’Brien on the latest episode of HBO’s “Real Sports” on May 24, during which they detailed the alleged assaults, as well as condemned the Browns for “rewarding bad behavior.” “It’s just like a big screw you,” Solis said about Watson’s new deal....

According to multiple reports, the NFL’s disciplinary officer ruled Monday that Deshaun Watson would be suspended for the first six games of the 2022 season following civil lawsuits from 24 different massage therapists alleging sexual assault and misconduct. The NFL will be appealing the ruling. Watson had settled 23 of the lawsuits and was not facing criminal charges after two grand juries decline to charge him. The length of the suspension was the decision of retired federal judge Sue L....

The record makes clear the fact that the start to Kizer’s NFL career was not good. But an offseason trade from the Browns to the Packers could turn things around for the 2017 second-round draft pick in a hurry. “It was super exciting,” Kizer, 22, told Sporting News after a recent Green Bay training camp practice. “Obviously a team who has consistently shown that they can develop quarterbacks, consistently shown that they can win games and that they’re going to have the best fan base you can possibly ask for and to have the opportunity to grow within that and embed myself into the community of great football....

“Too much energy has been expended making faux bricks and siding to mimic traditional housing,” says Wes Jones of Jones, Partners: Architecture (jonespartners.com). Dwell Magazine recently featured his PRO/con Package Home–along with 15 other groundbreaking designs–in its prefab-architecture contest. Winning entries boasted large balconies, airy floor plans and panache to spare (thedwell home.com). The breakthrough? Rather than mimicking tired styles, modern prefab proponents are rethinking the building blocks of the American home....

Keselowski’s aggressive charge and contact with Jeff Gordon on a late restart turned the Chase standings upside-down. Now Keselowski and Kevin Harvick, who entered the race in deep trouble, have a shot at advancing even if they don’t win Sunday at Phoenix. And Gordon, who held the points lead last week, is clinging to fourth place by just a point, with the top four drivers advancing to the championship race at Homestead....

South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier is famous for throwing his visor in disgust when things go wrong, and a lot went wrong in the season opener against North Carolina. MORE: Week 1 photos | SN’s Week 1 picks | That Jacket ground game When North Carolina marched down the field on its first drive of the game, Spurrier was having flashbacks to a year ago, when his team gave up 680 yards in a 52-28 drubbing by Texas A&M....

“We believe we can compete for the Stanley Cup,” Vigneault told reporters Thursday at the Rangers’ practice facility in suburban New York. “We’ve made some real good changes, and I’m excited,” the coached added. “We’re in a good place.” After a third straight 100-point season and being eliminated in the second round of the playoffs last spring by the Senators, the Rangers bought out the contract of 33-year-old heart-and-soul defenseman Dan Girardi and traded top center Derek Stepan and backup goalie Antti Raanta to the Coyotes....

Biden, who spent decades in the Senate and served in the legislative body alongside McConnell, stressed the importance of bipartisanship in his inaugural address on January 20. But Democrats and Republicans have struggled to find common ground in the weeks since then, with Biden pushing through his $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan without any GOP lawmakers voting in favor of the bill. During a Wednesday morning interview with Fox News, McConnell was asked about Biden’s calls for bipartisanship....

What he’s most proud of, however, is how the team and city of New Orleans worked together to rebuild the spirit of community after Hurricane Katrina. BENEATH THE SURFACE: Hurricane Katrina, the ‘San Antonio’ Saints and the oft-forgotten 2005 season Ten years later, McAllister is serving as Mercedes-Benz’s ambassador for “10 Years Stronger,” a program celebrating all things Saints since 2005.
