The reports of her death are greatly exaggerated. Now, I’m not saying she’s a smart bet for the nomination–at all. There’s simply no way she can face John McCain in November without launching a protracted, painful, party-rending battle involving Florida, Michigan, superdelegate arm-twisting and various and sundry acts of God. But in about 30 minutes or so, Clinton is set to go on stage at the Stockyards in Fort Worth, Texas to deliver a speech that shows why we shouldn’t count her out just yet....

Well, Obama isn’t flattered–and rightfully so. Stumping this morning in Columbus, Mississippi ahead of tomorrow’s Magnolia State primary, Obama told a raucous, applauding crowd that he’s bewildered by Clinton’s second-fiddle suggestion. “With all due respect, I have won twice as many states as Senator Clinton,” he said. “I have won more of the popular vote than Senator Clinton. I have more delegates than Senator Clinton. So I don’t know how someone in second place is offering the vice presidency to the person in first place....

In the clip, Bevin tells NBC reporter Vaughn Hillyard, “The fact that you ask why this is being nationalized and why people are talking about President Trump would indicate to me that you really have sort of maybe come out from under a rock, because here in America, that’s pretty topical every night.” The reporter was quick to point out that as the governor of Kentucky, Bevin doesn’t have a vote in the impeachment inquiry currently underway in Washington....

Alabama was, in a sense, operating blind in its final offensive possession: The clock started malfunctioning on Florida’s previous offensive possession, when the clock continued to run after a Gators touchdown through their 2-point possession. MORE: Alabama holds off Florida rally When the Tide ran their first play of the series — a 3-yard run by Brian Robinson to the Alabama 28 — the clock remained fixed on 3:10 (despite the fact that Florida scored with 3:08 left on the clock)....

Needing 150 runs in 14.2 overs to qualify for the semi-finals, Mumbai Indians were off to flier, despite the loss of Sachin Tendulkar, for a duck, and Glenn Maxwell in quick successions, as Dwayne Smith tore apart the Scorchers bowling attack. The last over of the powerplay, bowled by Joel Paris, yielded 19 runs. Just when Smith and Rohit Sharma were looking like they would break the back of the chase, a brilliant catch from Jason Behrendorff in the deep sent back the West Indian, for a whirlwind 48 off 25 deliveries....

Well, according to wrestlingnews.co, it looks like Punk doesn’t care for the new look of the WWE Universal Title, which Bray Wyatt revealed recently on WWE SmackDown. It’s been interesting to see how fans have reacted to the recent designs of WWE Championship belts. Some wrestling fans have liked the look of it while others wish that WWE would go back to the old look of the titles. It’s suffice to say that in terms of belt designs, nothing comes close to the “Winged Eagle” belt but that’s beside the point....

CM Punk was listed at number three. fittingly enough, the first thing you see and hear on this episode is Punk saying “you are about to be reborn and you have me to thank for it.” What’s great about it, though, are the comments made by those interviewed when talking about him: And, of course, the one comment from Punk himself that made the air: Cody Rhodes: “He is the meanest human being I have ever met....

When the 20-year-old all-rounder walked in to bat in the second match of the series on September 28, Bangladesh were reeling at 138/5 while batting first. But Mosaddek showed temperament beyond his years and carried his team past 200 with an unbeaten run-a-ball 45 on a slow wicket at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium here. Afghanistan won the match by two wickets, chasing down a target of 209 runs with two balls left, to square the three-match series 1-1....

Incredibly, nearly all the hires lived up to their billing. Kelly’s offense in Philadelphia made second-year man Nick Foles one of the game’s best passers and returned LeSean McCoy to the elite class of rushers. It also made Riley Cooper fantasy-relevant, which might have been Kelly’s greatest trick of all.

Rear Admiral Eric Jones, the commander of the U.S. Coast Guard District 7, said the agency and local, state and partners are monitoring the seas for signs of illegal migration in the Florida straits. “The United States Seventh Coast Guard District, as the lead agency protecting our southeast maritime border, is aware that yesterday tens of thousands of Cubans took to the streets to peacefully protest the dramatic rise in suffering and repression on the island,” Jones said in a statement posted on Twitter....

The Chanticleers, in just their fourth season as a Division I FBS team, have stormed to an 11-0 record under second-year coach Jamey Chadwell, winning the the Sun Belt co-division championship alongside Louisiana (they have a 30-27 head-to-head win against the Ragin’ Cajuns, but their championship game rematch was canceled due to COVID-19 issues, causing the Sun Belt to consider them co-champions). As incredible as their season has been, however, the question remains:...

When tested by Newsweek the online tool blocked the phrase “Black Lives Matter,” while allowing “blue lives matter,” in previews of bespoke Coca-Cola labels. “Transgender” was not allowed, yet the word “transphobia” could be displayed on a rainbow backdrop. Other words that were allowed included “jihadists,” “QAnon,” as well as phrases such as “White pride” and “Trump won.” There was no block on “fascism” at the time of publication. The word “Nazis” could also be chosen at one point, but it was later blocked—along with “blue lives matter”—after Newsweek contacted Coca-Cola for comment....

The younger Abacha, who allegedly manages the family’s assets, is charged in the 1996 murder of Kudirat Abiola, a pro-democracy activist who was married to Abacha’s main political foe. Cochran won’t say who hired him, except that it was “friends of Nigeria”–not the Abacha family. The Abachas maintain that the murder charges are trumped up. They also dispute the numerous published reports that Maryam Abacha tried, shortly after her husband’s death, to leave the country with 38 suitcases stuffed with cash....

Wrestling fans all around the world now eagerly await the release of the weekly viewing figures to see which company is faring the best after another round of shows....

Liver Disease The liver is a large organ sitting on the right side of your body, just under your rib cage. It has hundreds of important functions, such as helping you digest your food and store energy. But it is often known for its role in metabolizing and removing substances like alcohol and medications from the blood. Liver problems can happen for a variety of reasons. Common causes include chronic alcohol overuse and viruses like hepatitis C....

In fibromyalgia, the cold can make the skin hurt, and when you get chilled it can be extremely hard to warm back up. Still, research is split on the exact nature of cold’s impact. Extra Nerves In 2013, a study published in the journal Pain Medicine stated that researchers found extra sensory nerves running to structures in the circulatory system called arterial venule shunts (AVS). The AVS act like valves, allowing and restricting the flow of blood, which is what carries heat through the body....

The sports radio gasbag has made a career out of being very loud, and sometimes, very wrong. Case in point: Monday’s edition of “The Herd,” which featured Cowherd incorrectly identifying boxing legend (and noted pigeon lover) Mike Tyson as dead while riffing on Josh Allen and the Bills. (He is very much alive.) “6-6, their best runner, huge arm. More than any quarterback this weekend, he is throwing the ball over the top, any opportunity he gets, almost to a fault....
