It also tells you NFL owners are not going to let go of their hang-up about kneeling players — not now and not in the foreseeable future.

Now it’s Mike Brown reportedly telling Reid he “intends to prohibit” kneeling-player protests during the national anthem, seemingly presented as a “gotcha” ploy to provoke a reaction....

The Newcastle manager is under contract until the end of the season but it is unclear if he will extend his stay at the Premier League club, having initially joined in March 2016.

Rumours in Spain this week claim the Gunners have launched a bid to sign the 29-year-old in the January transfer window. Benzema has only managed two goals this season and missed a clear chance against Tottenham in Tuesday’s 1-1 Champions League draw at the Santiago Bernabeu. His disappointing form has led to speculation he could leave next year, despite having signed a new four-year contract last month, but his representative has made it clear he is content in the Spanish capital....
The 31-year-old striker, who coach Zinedine Zidane championed for an unlikely France recall this week, netted the opener after 17 minutes and soon had a second from the penalty spot. Benzema moved onto 157 league goals for Madrid, nudging ahead of Puskas, although he remains a long way short of Cristiano Ronaldo’s incredible club record of 311. The former Lyon star overtook another Madrid great in terms of Champions League/European Cup goals on Wednesday....

On Thursday, the Steelers announced that they have signed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to a new contract for the 2021, effectively restructuring the remaining money on Roethlisberger’s contract and ending a months-long odyssey of the two parties dancing around one another in contract discussions. “It is my greatest honor to be a Pittsburgh Steeler and give my all for this organization,” Roethlisberger said in a statement. “I am grateful to be at this stage of my career and more than happy to adjust my contract in a way that best helps the team to address other players who are so vital to our success....
The Steelers quarterback issued a statement Monday shortly after being placed on injured reserve, effectively ending his 2019 campaign as he prepares for a season-ending elbow procedure he didn’t see coming.

This is shocking and heartbreaking for me, to miss this much of a season and feel like I am letting down so many people,” the release read....

Big Ben finished 3 for 3 for 60 yards, including a 45-yard touchdown pass to second-year wide receiver Martavis Bryant.

And yet, with less than 70 days to go before the start of the 2021-22 NBA regular season, Simmons remains a member of the Sixers. A deal involving the three-time All-Star will be complicated to pull off not only because of his contract — Simmons is owed more than $146 million through the 2024-25 season — but also because of Philadelphia’s exorbitant asking price.

Watson, while speaking to Sydney Morning Herald, stated that Stokes should not take part in the ongoing Ashes series in order to ‘set a precedent’ and should learn from his mistakes and grow as both a cricketer and an individual. “I don’t think he should be able to come and play. There needs to be a precedent set, even for his own benefit, to be able to learn from his mistakes that he has and realise that there are consequences for your actions at times....
Research also shows that fish oil can reduce triglycerides and reducing insulin resistance. Fish oil may be specifically helpful for women with PCOS because of the increased risk of heart disease and elevated triglyceride levels that exist in people with this condition.
