Ryan Clark, who played 13 seasons for the Redskins, Steelers and Giants and is now an NFL analyst for ESPN, is simply happy his son is still alive. Below is the account of the incident Jordan Clark posted on Twitter. He was at the Whataburger with Arizona State tight end Nolan Matthews and safety T Lee. Ryan Clark on Friday was asked on ESPN’s “Get Up” how he reacted to the incident his son encountered a few days prior....

But Smith was willing to team up with the Cowboys for some good-natured fun for the release of the team’s 2022 schedule. MORE: Full Cowboys’ 2022 schedule & season prediction Smith starred in the schedule release video produced by the team. Playing himself, he began by throwing his usual slew of insults at the Cowboys. He also used some of his signature quotes from “First Take,” including “Stay off the weed!...

Harvard Business Review captures the issue well: “While hypergrowth companies face many obstacles, research shows that talent is their primary growth challenge. And one of their biggest talent priorities is how to scale and maintain culture. Culture, or the underlying beliefs and values that shape an organization, can indeed be difficult to manage when a company scales from 10 to 1,000 employees.” Difficult, but not impossible. At my company, we work tirelessly to create and maintain a good culture from the moment a new team member is hired....

These reactions range from increased action of either drug, a delay or increase in drug absorption rate, a decrease in the drug’s efficacy, or an unexpected harmful side effect. Etodolac is a prescription only non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used as a long-term treatment for arthritis. It can also be used short-term to relieve acute pain. Once available in the brand name form of Lodine, etodolac is now only available in its generic form....

Bates and Williams will be eligible to play for ETSU immediately. Jurkin, a 7-foot center, must sit out the 2014-15 season due to NCAA transfer rules before playing for ETSU in 2015-16. Jurkin played three games for Indiana in 2012-13 and eight games in 2013-14. In a school release Wednesday announcing the moves, ETSU coach Murry Bartow said that “in my 11 years here at ETSU, we’ve never had anyone like Peter in our program....

The Canadian beat the No. 1 seed 7-6 (3), 6-7 (5), 6-2 in a match just short of three hours at the Istanbul Open on Thursday. Bouchard, who had lost all three previous meetings with Kuznetsova, almost let the first set slip from her grasp and squandered three match points in the second before recovering her poise to close out the win. Speaking after reaching her third quarterfinal of an encouraging year, the 26-year-old Montreal native said: “That was extremely tough mentally....

A quarter of a century ago, Gareth Southgate missed the crucial penalty kick as Germany defeated England in the semifinal of Euro 96 at Wembley Stadium in London. On Tuesday, England and Southgate, now the Three Lions coach, come up against the same old foe, in the same competition and in the same venue—albeit in its new incarnation, as the current stadium replaced the old Wembley at the turn of the century....

That picture is especially popular in America. As U.S. skeptics tell it, the Old World (save for Britain, naturally) is finished. Economies are stagnant. Technological and entrepreneurial energy have passed to Silicon Valley and Bangalore. Politicians are powerless in the face of sclerotic social-welfare systems, coddled work forces and entrenched special interests. Demographic decline is upon them. Immigration only exacerbates social problems. European foreign policy is anemic. “Europeans are from Venus, Americans from Mars,” said Robert Kagan, referring to Europe’s lack of military might....

More and more Europeans are doing just that. Strong economies, porous borders and a dance culture fueled on pills mean that many illegal drugs are cheaper, purer and more prevalent than a decade ago. National drug surveys show that more than half of all Britons and Irish between 18 and 24 have experimented with illegal drugs, as have a third of French 15- to 19-year-olds. Though Europe’s heroin use has generally fallen, Spain, Britain, Portugal and Ireland are facing serious problems with it....

Italians, Germans and residents of other European nations who were hit the hardest by the coronavirus outbreak in February said they are disappointed, saddened and even frightened by the United States’ COVID-19 response. Public health experts and everyday residents said they “always saw America as a model” for the world, but the pandemic has exposed a country with horrendous infrastructure and no coherent public health system. Several European doctors agreed with their U....

Other people have a tremor that is truly debilitating. For example, someone may not be able to eat because their tremor makes it too difficult to get a utensil or cup into their mouth. Even in cases where a tremor is really noticeable and problematic, it may not be caused by a serious illness. Other people may have a less noticeable tremor that is caused by a disorder like Parkinson’s disease....

Following the end of the trial, which saw a jury side with Depp, a number of social media accounts that saw an explosion in followers through sharing a barrage of anti-Heard content went on to target Wood amid her legal battle with Depp’s friend Marilyn Manson. The Westworld actress is herself embroiled in a legal dispute with an ex and has been sued by former fiancé Manson after publicly alleging that she was subjected to domestic abuse at the hands of the musician during their relationship....

Graham, the president of Samaritan’s Purse and his late father’s Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, quoted the Bible Friday in a plea for Americans to purchase a “Pray for 45” T-shirt being sold through his organization’s website. Earlier this week, Graham urged Christians to pray for God to give Trump “wisdom and protection” just hours after the House voted in favor of impeachment procedures. The pro-Trump evangelical and his daughter, Cissie Graham Lynch, both promoted the $15....

Stubbed toe. Jammed finger. Jellyfish sting. What are things that hurt, Alex? Cyrus Kouandjio. T.J. Yeldon. Reuben Foster. Rashaan Evans. What are things that really hurt, Alex? When Rashaan Evans — Rashaan Evans, Auburn High School — placed an Alabama hat on his head Wednesday in front of a packed house in Auburn, Ala., it wasn’t what most expected. In fact, 247Sports.com’s Crystal Ball feature projected Auburn at 96 percent prior to Evans’ choice....

My friend Terry asked this question a lot. “This” meant South Side Chicago in the early ’90s, where there was little to talk about but getting out. I remember the last time Terry asked me that, because he was shot dead the next week in a mistaken identity drive-by. We were nine. I grieved for Terry in the best way I knew how: by staying alive. On Monday, the city of Evanston, Illinois, became the first in America to give its Black homeowners reparations....

The reigning NBA MVP is at it again, playing even better this year, and he was rewarded by his wife with a new toilet. We’re telling you about this because Curry is very excited about it, and watching Curry brings us great excitement, and it seems fair that we share his excitement given that he provides ours.

And now that the drought has ended, the Cardinals aren’t above cashing in either. MORE: Scenes from the Cubs’ victory parade Beginning Dec. 2, the Cardinals will sell a five-game ticket package described as “Cubs, Cubs, and more Cubs … catch five great games with the reigning world champs.” Pretty fawning for your hated rivals (maybe: “Don’t let stinking Cubs fans buy Cardinal red seats”?), but then this is strictly business....

Given the opposition Republicans posed to a third payment, another payment is unlikely to garner enough support in Congress, and it would put added strain on the Internal Revenue Service. The demands of direct payments called into question the IRS’ ability to send out expanded Child Tax Credits, but on Wednesday, the agency confirmed payments would start going out in July. “We will launch [the portal] by July 1 with the absolute best product we are able to put together,” IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig said during a Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday....

With Wooden Award front-runner Frank Kaminsky out with a concussion, the Badgers suffered a defeat at the hands at the hands of a feisty Rutgers squad, their first in conference play. But the biggest loss of that particular night had nothing to do with the scoreboard — it was that senior guard Traevon Jackson was sidelined indefinitely with a broken foot that will require surgery.
