Star forward Sanchez has been heavily linked with a move away from Emirates Stadium to Manchester City, while Bayern Munich has also been flagged as another potential destination for his talents. Confederations Cup semi-finals confirmed Mustafi faced off against the Chile forward when Germany drew 1-1 with the Copa America holders in the Confederations Cup on Thursday, Sanchez opening the scoring before Lars Stindl levelled for Die Mannschaft. The new contract purported to be on the table for the 28-year-old was not a topic of discussion for the duo in Kazan and Mustafi concedes he and his other colleagues are in much the same helpless position as the Arsenal fanbase at this moment in time....

The weekend after that consultation I rented the documentary about fast food, “Super Size Me,” by Morgan Spurlock. I saw too many parallels between my own life and that movie, which documents Spurlock’s daily consumption of McDonald’s meals and his body’s reaction to it. My office was a one-minute walk from a Burger King, Taco Bell, Sonic, Godfather’s Pizza, Subway, Pizza Hut and Krispy Kreme. I never woke up early enough to eat breakfast at home, so it wasn’t uncommon for me to be at my desk with a breakfast sandwich or a doughnut in the morning....

As the news reporter spoke, a clip of the accident scene appeared. For several seconds, viewers saw a shot of the victims, their bodies draped with sheets, a crumpled Cadillac nearby. Unfortunately, my mother was watching. Later in the week I called Mom to ask how she was doing. She hesitated, then admitted that she had recently had a “bad day.” She explained how she had turned on the TV to get the morning news and saw an image that brought back the worst tragedy of her 82 years....

Someone with nearsightedness may squint noticeably when trying to view objects in the distance. They may also sit very close to the television or bring books very close to their eyes when reading. Myopia requires visual correction, usually in the form of eyeglasses or contact lenses. Refractive surgery, such as LASIK, can also correct nearsightedness. Myopia is receiving much more attention lately because the prevalence appears to be increasing significantly....

That is how I felt waiting for a call from Mike Leach – then at Washington State – for a feature on quarterback Luke Falk back in 2015. Washington State was 5-2 heading into a showdown with No. 8 Stanford, Falk was the new “Air Raid” sensation, and Leach’s reputation as the coach next door made it worth the late-night wait. Leach finally called. He discussed Falk’s role in great detail, spun off into his thoughts about his plan for a 64-team College Football Playoff and offered little if anything about the upcoming game against Stanford....

Lindell appeared on former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon’s right-wing news show, promoting his rags-to-riches book, What are the Odds: From Crack Addict to CEO. Lindell offered his latest unproven claim of corruption against the Better Business Bureau (BBB), saying the Virginia-based nonprofit turned its back on MyPillow after he went “all in” for Trump in the 2016 presidential election. “The Better Business Bureau, the crooked Better Business Bureau, which took me from an A+ to an F....

The conservative pillow magnate revealed the existence of what he called a “corrupt” subpoena from the committee in a text message to CNBC on Wednesday, while insisting that his legal team had taken action to “completely invalidate” the subpoena. “I wasn’t there on January 6th and yes they did subpoena my phone records but we filed a complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief against the January 6th committee and Verizon to completely invalidate this corrupt subpoena,” Lindell told the outlet....

The conference will be held in Orlando, Florida from February 25 to February 28. Trump will make a speech in the afternoon on the final day of the conference, according to a schedule posted on CPAC’s website. Several former Trump administration officials will also speak at the event, including former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Other staunch allies of the former president who will be guest speakers include Texas Sen....

Pence weighed in on Cheney’s loss while in Iowa on Friday at the start of a two-day visit to the state that is the first in the nation to vote during the presidential primary process. Cheney lost the GOP primary for Wyoming’s at-large congressional district this week to conservative lawyer Harriet Hageman, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump. The congresswoman has been one of Trump’s most ardent Republican critics and currently serves as vice chair of the House of Representatives’ Select Committee investigating the events of January 6, 2021....

Chen Weihua, EU Bureau Chief of China’s state-owned publication China Daily, which is also circulated in English in the U.S., accused America of “masterminding and waging the new cold war” in a recent tweet, while also suggesting President Donald Trump will lose the upcoming election. “Everyone talks about new Cold War. But it is clear that the US is the one masterminding and waging the new Cold War,” Chen wrote....

The professor, who worked in the George W. Bush administration between 2005 and 2007, also claimed it would be an “extraordinary accomplishment” if Pompeo stayed out of jail, suggesting the Trump official had done something criminal but not giving evidence for such a claim. Painter posted his comments to social media shortly after Sondland testified in front of lawmakers and the media at a public impeachment inquiry hearing yesterday morning....

In an appearance in South Carolina, Pompeo said that nobody—not even the former president—would impact his decision on whether to enter the race. “If I come to believe that I ought to become president, that I have something to offer the American people, I will run no matter who all decides to get in and who else decides not to get in the race,” he told reporters. However, he defended the former president in comments about a recent FBI raid seeking classified documents contained at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, saying he believed the incident was nothing more than a political stunt....

In an interview with the New York Post, the former director of the CIA said losing weight has been “a lifetime struggle,” but the turning point was stepping on a scale on June 14, 2021, and seeing that he weighed nearly 300 pounds for the first time in his life. “Today is the day,” Pompeo, 58, recalled telling his wife Susan. Pompeo said he then started exercising “nearly every day,” “eating right,” and “the weight just started to come off....

Scioscia and the Angels organization “feel that there’s really no clarity if he’s getting the help he needs. That’s a major concern. Hopefully the frustration will start to evaporate as Josh gets through his first physical rehab of getting his shoulder where it needs to be,” the manager said In an interview Friday morning with MLB Network Radio.

Ben Roethlisberger was out. Cam Heyward was, too. Landry Jones was taking snaps. The New England Patriots were on the other sideline. Nobody was expecting much, and nothing much was what they provided; the Patriots (6-1) beat Pittsburgh (4-3) 27-16. MORE: Best images from Week 7 It was a boring game — certainly more boring than it would’ve been had Roethlisberger played. For a time, though, it seemed like Jones and the Steelers were hanging around long enough to do something weird....

Trout didn’t mince words on Monday, though, when discussing the Astros cheating scandal, saying he “lost respect for some of those guys.” Trout also said he didn’t “agree with the punishment” levied against the organization. Former Astros manager A.J. Hinch and GM Jeff Luhnow were fired by owner Jim Crane in January. Houston was also fined $5 million — the maximum financial penalty allowed under MLB rules — and forfeited its first- and second-round draft picks in 2020 and 2021....

The Angels’ superstar center fielder has finished in the top two in American League MVP voting in each of his four full seasons in the majors (he easily could have been a four-time winner) and is putting together another phenomenal season. “I try to be the best player and best person I can be on the field, just with preparation and the time you put in,” Trout told Sporting News....

Tyson was asked about smoking marijuana before the match. “Absolutely, yes,” Tyson said, according to USA Today. He even smoked another before meeting with the press corps at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the report stated. “Listen, I can’t stop smoking,” said Tyson, who was fighting his first bout in 14 years. “I smoked during fights. I just have to smoke, I’m sorry. I’m a smoker. I smoke everyday....

Dubbed “Frontline Battle,” the fight will be valid for the newly-formed WBC Frontline Battle Belt and also marks the inaugural event of a series produced by Legends Only League. Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) turned 54 at the end of June and hasn’t fought professionally since retiring in the sixth round of his 10-round bout against Kevin McBride in 2005. A former world champion in four weight classes, Jones Jr. (66-9, 47 KOs) is three years younger than his opponent and last fought in 2018....
