Jack, who has played primarily at linebacker for the Bruins, is a projected first-round pick in most mock drafts and a top-10 pick in some because of his athleticism. MORE: Arguments for/against being No. 1 | Week 6 Pac-12 Power Rankings However, UCLA coach Jim Mora has his concerns for Jack, saying the move is “very risky” considering the lack of tape on his star player. Listed at 6-1, 245 pounds, he was a versatile athlete at UCLA, playing a significant amount at running back in addition to linebacker....

When his co-host questioned his claim, Lindell said that his accusation was “just an analogy.” Since the 2020 presidential elections, Lindell, a longtime supporter of former President Donald Trump, has used his public platform to accuse various election officials of wrongdoing. His election claims have not only failed to materialize substantial evidence, but they’ve also made him the target of a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit. In a Wednesday broadcast of his online show, Lindell discussed Griswold’s alleged treatment of Sherronna Bishop, a woman whose house was searched by county, state and FBI officials in November 2021 in connection with an election security investigation....

The Irish lost 1-0 to Poland in Sunday’s Group C clash, which ended a 12-match unbeaten run going into the tournament, with some critics arguing that they played too defensively. Evans, who was part of a three-man central defence against Poland, said manager Michael O’Neill was looking at a different approach against Ukraine in Lyon. “Michael has hinted that we might try different things against different teams, especially Ukraine who are very good from the wide areas,” the 28-year-old told British media....

The Spaniard needed two minutes over the hour to dispatch Fognini, taking his winning streak to 14 matches since the start of the U.S. Open where he claimed a 16th grand slam title. The 31-year-old is closing in on finishing the year as world number one for the first time since 2013. Fognini was playing the day after being handed a suspended ban from two grand slams and $96,000 fine for verbally abusing a female umpire at the U....

Nadal looked in trouble after being outplayed and overpowered by a red-hot Cilic in the opening set of Friday’s quarter-final in Toronto. But top seed and three-time Rogers Cup champion Nadal stormed home to see off the challenge of Cilic at the ATP 1000 tournament. The pair were meeting for the first time since January’s Australian Open quarter-final, when Cilic benefited from Nadal’s retirement in an absorbing battle. Cilic – runner-up at Melbourne Park – was virtually unstoppable and unplayable in a masterclass of ball striking in the first set....

In what could only be a demoralizing defeat for Berdych, having endured a losing streak against the Spaniard for the past eight years, Nadal reminded the rest of the tour he was not going to be pushed away that easily on his favourite surface with a ruthless 6-4, 6-2 beat-down. The match started in a tense manner with both players pushing each other to deuce on their opening service games, but managing to hold on....

Speaking during the CouRage and Nadeshot Show podcast, Nadeshot revealed that he has “no idea how in the hell I’m going to play this game”. While he has years of experience as a competitive first-person shooter gamer, at 27 years old, Nadeshot feels “very slow on keyboard and mouse.” Nadeshot joked that the pace of Hyper Scape’s aerial gameplay means that he’d need to drink five Red Bulls “just to comprehend some of the movement that is happening....

Salinas: The wind machine billed NAFTA as make or break for Clinton. For President Carlos Salinas de Gortari of Mexico and his Institutional Revolutionary Party, it actually was. With elections coming next summer, the PRI risked losing its 65-year grip on power if NAFTA went down. Salinas has worked to convert Mexico’s socialist, nationalist economy into a capitalist, pro-American economy open to international trade. He privatized state industry, banks, insurance and commerce, and slashed tariffs from 40 to 10 percent....

Firefighters from the Orange County Fire Authority were dispatched to 1020 North Harbor Boulevard in Santa Ana at around 2:05 p.m. on Tuesday. Employees at two adjacent automotive businesses had heard a woman crying for help for 20 to 30 minutes before realising she was trapped between the buildings.

LONDON (Reuters) - Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic are careering towards a Sunday showdown to decide their year-long battle for supremacy. The two 29-year-olds, rivals since their junior days, have matched each other stride for stride so far at the ATP World Tour Finals with Murray recording his second group win on Wednesday after a three-hour battle with Kei Nishikori. Djokovic, usurped as world number one last week by Murray after 122 weeks at the summit, has already won his group after defeating Dominic Thiem and Milos Raonic, even before Thursday’s match against alternate David Goffin....

LONDON (Reuters) - Andy Murray believes the best years of his career could still be ahead after confirming his status as world number one by beating Novak Djokovic to claim the ATP Tour Finals crown on Sunday.

Strengthening your muscles is important because it allows you to perform everyday activities and lowers the risk of injury to your body. Increasing your muscle mass also boosts your metabolic rate, “which means you’ll burn more calories even when your body is at rest,” and helps you maintain a healthy weight, the American Heart Association (AHA) explains. So, which muscle groups should you workout together for the best results? Newsweek asked the experts....

What has been said? Musiala told reporters after making his bow: “It’s something I dreamt of when I was a child....

We didn’t see enough soccer to hate what we saw. It hardly ever was on television, and almost no one’s high school sponsored the sport. We hated it because everyone else said they hated it. We played baseball, watched football on TV and hated soccer. It was the American way. We knew who Pele was, and he seemed pretty amazing. That was one guy, though. And he played a sport we all hated....

My mother returned to her apartment one afternoon in late November and found the front door unlocked. She called out my brother’s name several times, for it was very unlike him to be so careless. All too aware of his wallet and keys on the table beside the couch, she walked upstairs, where both her bedroom and the terrace were. When she reached the terrace door, she saw that it was open....

RELATED: Best Bromances in My Hero Academia Heteromorphic Quirks drastically change the user’s genetic structure leaving them with a less-than-human appearance and more physically obvious abilities (although some Emitter and Transformative Quirks can cause this, too.) Unfortunately, these severe physical mutations often cause the affected Heroes to become rejected and sidelined from society (or, in extreme cases, beaten to a pulp for being different.) It seems that the Villains are not the only ones who have faced grave discrimination in their pasts, as many heteromorphic Heroes also have tragedies sprinkled through their backstories in My Hero Academia....
