The Hollywood actor tied the knot with his Pearl Harbor and Daredevil co-star in 2005. After a decade-long union, in which they had three children, the stars announced their separation in 2015, with their divorce being finalized in 2018. And during an appearance on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show, Affleck spoke candidly about the breakdown of his marriage to actress Garner, as he insisted that ending the romantic arm of their relationship was the right thing to do....

“I don’t think he was trying to take me out,” Roethlisberger told reporters Tuesday. “According to the rules, it was a low hit, so maybe it should have been flagged. But I don’t think he did anything to intentionally hurt me.” MORE: Jeb Bush says Redskins name is not offensive | NFL’s craziest fans Roethlisberger was diagnosed with a sprained MCL and a bone bruise in his left leg. Though he’ll miss a chunk of the season, he feared it could have been a season-ending ACL injury or even worse....

Burrow and Chase, who starred at LSU, were playing at the Superdome for the first time in their NFL careers. The last time the two played together there was in the 2020 College Football Playoff national championship game. Burrow threw for 463 yards and five touchdowns and Chase logged nine catches, 221 yards and two touchdowns in a 42-25 LSU win over Clemson. Because of their success in the stadium and the proximity to Baton Rouge, both were excited to play in New Orleans again....

We could envision Rex Ryan having a good time with Axl, Slash and Duff back in the day, and his current Jets are doing a pretty good job laying down their defensive boom, but they're about to fly into a supersonic (winning) atmosphere. Game of the Week New York Jets at Cincinnati Bengals (4:05 p.m. Sunday, CBS). Welcome to the Jungle, where the fun and games are back for the home team....

Cincinnati was dealt a hefty blow Thursday, losing wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase to a hip injury that will keep him on the shelf for more than a month. The team is expected to place him on injured reserve, in which case he’d miss a minimum of four games. It could be longer until he returns. That said, while Joe Burrow losing his No. 1 target is rough for the Bengals’ offense, their passing attack has other weapons to fall back on while the second-year wideout recovers....

The Bengaluru Bulls again have Randhir Singh Sehrawat as their head coach for PKL 8. Ahead of PKL Auction 2021, the Bengaluru Bulls retained two players from the Elite Retained Players (ERP) and three from the New Young Players (NYP) list.

Jamie Benn scored the shootout winner and the Stars beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Thursday. Alexander Radulov and Miro Heiskanen scored in regulation for the surging Stars, who won their third straight game and tightened their hold on the first wild-card spot in the Western Conference. “There was no panic,” Benn said of his team being down 2-0 early in the second. “Obviously we took responsibility for our play in the first and it wasn’t good enough....

Ronaldo scores twice in 3-3 draw Alongside Ronaldo and Bale in Madrid’s much-hyped ‘BBC’ trident, Benzema is charged with setting up his team-mates as much as he is asked to score himself. But, with those two missing at Ipurua, he could concentrate on his own game and found himself in a scoring position after just 30 seconds. That move came to an abrupt end as Eibar cleared, but it was a sign of what was to come, an indication that Madrid wanted to take control and dominate after dropping five points in just over a week and losing top spot in La Liga to Barcelona....

This is not because I support Israel’s occupation. As an IDF soldier half a lifetime ago, I patrolled the Casbah of Nablus and the roads of the villages of Gaza. It was enough to convince me how bad occupying the territories was for Israel. It is impossible to have a good occupation, and the occupation itself is a curse on Israeli society. When Prime Minister Ehud Barak tried to reach a final agreement, I held my breath—only to watch in horror as it literally blew up in our faces....

His agent, Rich Paul, informed ESPN of Simmons’ decision not to play in the Olympics so he could instead place a priority on NBA activities.

The gist of his remarks: He doesn’t regret stepping away from baseball in the wake of divorce proceedings with his wife, Julianna. At 38, he isn’t sure this will be his last MLB season. And while he’s with the Cubs, he’ll give 100% as they chase the Cardinals in the NL Central. From his news conference at Wrigley Field, via the Chicago Tribune: “It was a very easy decision for me (to step away), very easy....

David Bitan told Kan public radio Netanyahu “doesn’t want to give even the slightest legitimacy to this matter.” The Sunday election ended Netanyahu’s 12-year rule with a close vote of 60-59 in Knesset. Bennett was sworn in late Sunday and in two years Foreign Minister Yair Lapid will take over as prime minister. For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below. The new government was sworn in late on Sunday and set to work Monday morning, with ministers announcing appointments of new ministry directors....

Speaking with CBS News’ Face the Nation on Sunday, the prime minister defended the Israeli Defense Forces’ action, reiterating that intelligence claimed the tower “contained military assets belonging to the Hamas military intelligence.” “It’s inconceivable you would have talked to President Biden and not shared proof of Hamas in those buildings that housed the journalists. Did you share that with him?” host John Dickerson asked Netanyahu on the TV program....

Both teams seem to be evenly matched on paper and have some decent firepower in their ranks. Both Bergamo and Bologna could look to unleash their power-hitters and rack up big scores. Considering the same, we could be in for a high-scoring contest. It may well come down to the skills of the bowlers to bowl defensively and stem the flow of runs. Squads to choose from: Bergamo United Cricket Club: Mubashir Amin, Azmat Ali, Ahtasham Javaid, Rizwan Tahir, Rayhan Ibna Hossain, Ravi Paul, Faisal Muhammad, Ahsan Akram, Faraz Ali, Mubashar Hussain, Abdul Waqas, Muddasar Raja, Fahran Javaid....

The Portugal international completed a transfer reportedly worth £43million on Friday, becoming City’s first signing since their 2016-17 season came to an end. Silva is excited about the upcoming experience of playing under Guardiola and thinks their link-up will lead to him winning major trophies during his stay in England. “If he is not the best coach in the world, he is one of the best,” Silva, who will wear the number 20 shirt, told City’s website....

Sanders, the Vermont independent who caucuses with Senate Democrats, told CBS Mornings on Monday that he had not yet made a decision about a third White House bid. “That’s a big—you know, I haven’t made that decision,” the senator said. He also addressed the possibility that Biden could step down and choose not to run again. There has been speculation for months that the president may decide not to seek a second term, though he has repeatedly indicated it’s his intention to do so....

Inflation, excluding energy and food, increased rapidly in June, rising 4.5 percent—the largest move since September 1991. Consumer prices increased by 5.4 percent, marking the largest monthly gain in about 13 years. Meanwhile, Biden and Democrats have proposed a massive $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation plan, which has raised further inflation concerns from Republicans, moderate Democrats and some economists. Sanders, who caucuses with the Democrats and chairs the Senate Budget Committee, was asked about these concerns in relation to the large spending proposal during a Wednesday interview with CNN....

Both presidential candidates were scheduled to hold events in Cleveland on Tuesday night but called them off just hours before they were to start. Voters in Ohio, which has 136 pledged delegates up for grabs, will decide next week which candidate should be nominated at the Democratic Convention later this year. “Out of concern for public health and safety, we are canceling tonight’s rally in Cleveland. We are heeding the public warnings from Ohio state officials, who have communicated concern about holding large indoor events during the coronavirus outbreak,” Mike Casca, Sanders’ communications director, said in a statement....
