We’re going with the double-RB attack, with Josh Jacobs as our MVP and Alvin Kamara in here, too. Add in the future Hall-of-Famer Drew Brees, and our lineup shapes up for a great night. MORE MNF: DraftKings Showdown Lineup FanDuel Single-Game Picks: Saints vs. Raiders MVP (1.5x points): Josh Jacobs, Raiders ($13,500) Jacobs should see the most touches of any player in this game, and the Saints defense isn’t scary enough for us to go away from him here....

Granted, he appeared to be 40 years old at the time of his debut as “Marty Lunde” in Mid-South circa 1982, but he was actually only 40 when he retired. That came in 1997, after years of neck injuries had withered his arm and his in-ring time grew shorter with every match. Unfortunately, he never got the chance to have the proper send-off, because no one really knew for sure that he was done....

The almighty dollar. More specifically, the ability of money to separate elite programs from those chasing. “Everyone has financially strength now,” Baylor athletic director Ian McCaw told me this summer. “It’s all a matter of how wisely you manage it.” That’s why Art Briles is still the coach at Baylor and not Texas. That’s why nearly every heavyweight program hire in recent memory — Brady Hoke, Charlie Strong, Al Golden, Mark Helfrich, Will Muschamp — hasn’t been elite coaches moving from one major program to another....

Many fans have started to share their messages of support for both Wonho and the band using the Korean hashtag #몬스타엑스_응원해, which translates to “cheer up Monsta X” and has been a top-trending term on Twitter since the announcement of Wonho’s exit. “They are 7 and will always be, you cant change my mind now go home starship #몬스타엑스_응원해,” one user @MoonsPersona wrote. “We are always here for you Wonho....

Herr kept hammering that last point. She introduced me to women – just barely competent, just barely composed – who’d been taught to do the basics: to get their children to school on time, to feed and clothe them adequately, to get them vaccinated. She’d set up a series of small rewards for them. Women who volunteered at the Head Start center were cited on an honor roll. Herr seemed particularly pleased by these tiny triumphs, but I wasn’t too interested; I was fixed, as the public debate has been, on getting these women to work....

The homegrown striker ending that eight-year streak will come as a welcome relief to Madrid, who have been criticised in previous seasons for not giving development opportunities to their own young talent in favour of star buys from overseas. Morata made the most of just his 10th league start of the season, scoring three times in Madrid’s dramatic 4-2 victory away to Leganes on Wednesday. Real should keep Chelsea target Morata...

Sometime in the new year, the high court will take up the pending case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which deals with a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The case essentially reopens Roe v. Wade, the court’s 1973 decision that legalized abortion in the U.S. While the fate of abortion in the nation may soon be decided by the Supreme Court, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll found 38 percent of respondents said the federal government should decide whether abortion should be legal or not....

Citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter, The Washington Post first reported that Trump hired an outside team to search several properties, which led to the discovery of the classified items in the West Palm Beach, Florida, unit. The items were then turned over to the FBI. The New York Times, citing an anonymous source, also reported on the discovery of at least two documents that were marked as classified inside a sealed box in the Florida storage unit....

As Nice push for the Ligue 1 title, it is upon this diminutive figure that they are set to lay a great deal of responsibility. Missing key men Alassane Plea and Wylan Cyprien to serious knee trouble, the 25-year-old suddenly finds himself in the position of being his side’s fulcrum. He has grown to become known as Nice’s N’Golo Kante, who departed Ligue 1 for England just as Seri was arriving from Pacos de Ferreira....

He swung through a KFC drive-thru for lunch on Friday and now is the subject of one of the funniest photos we’ve seen this week. MORE: Tough ending to 2013-14 season drives Huskers I’m willing to bet he never has a bad day.

A new University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll of 1,200 registered voters found 49 percent said they approve of the job Biden is doing to respond to COVID-19, with 36 percent responding they disapprove. Texas voters were less approving of Trump’s pandemic actions in the White House, with 45 percent saying they supported his response and 48 percent replying they did not. Worse yet, 43 percent of those Texans surveyed in October expressed strong disapproval of the job Trump was doing to curb coronavirus....

Pi, or the Greek letter π in mathematical notation (from the word perimetros, or circumference), describes the ratio between a circle’s circumference (its length around) and diameter (its length across). It is derived simply, by dividing the circumference of a circle by its diameter, or π = C/d, but the result is a never-ending “irrational” number: 3.14159265. Check out this visual demonstration of how pi works, using pizza: While a single number may not seem like much cause for celebration, let alone its own “Pi Day,” pi has been a crucial part of mathematics and numerous other fields since ancient times, with Babylonian tablets and Chinese mathematical texts affirming its use, thousands of years ago....

Nearly 1,000 marchers gathered in downtown Minneapolis to join the “Don’t Let Trump Steal the Election” protest, as its been called by local organizers. Protesters walked down to I-94, where they then closed off the freeway. According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS), 646 people were arrested, cited and released by State Patrol troopers and Minneapolis police officers. Six vehicles were also towed. The protest, organized by Twin Cities Coalition for Justice for Jamar, was “focused on protesting Trump’s unconstitutional theft of the election, but also recognized that much work needed to be done to secure our rights even if Biden took the presidency....

There are 4,353 inmates held in New York City facilities, according to official data. That yields a rate of infection within the city’s correctional system of 6.6 percent, more than seven times higher than that of New York City at large and nine times higher than the rate in New York State. Public defenders and criminal justice advocates have long warned that conditions inside Rikers would provide fertile ground for COVID-19 to spread, perhaps unchecked, throughout the prison complex....

The forecasts for Friday into the weekend include more heavy snow, high winds and the possibility of rain. “Slabs of new and drifted snow will be thick and easily triggered by the weight of a person or snowmachine,” a warning from The Flathead Avalanche Center said. “In isolated areas, avalanches may break in weak layers of old snow near the ground. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended.” The warnings have been enacted across areas of western and northern Montana, including Cooke City, north of Yellowstone National Park....

Freeman was in Washington on Tuesday to promote a hurricane-relief program he founded–along with his new film, “The Bucket List.” The elegant actor is known for playing roles of great authority, including God, and when he took the podium at the National Press Club, he told the audience how he had once sat next to Charlton Heston at a dinner event and watched the man who played Moses in the movies scribble away on 5x7 cards, which he then spoke from for 40 minutes....

Rodriguez, the cousin of former Venezuelan oil minister and ambassador to the United Nations Rafael Ramírez, has been accused of laundering $2 billion in the U.S. on Ramírez’s behalf and Rodriguez is currently under investigation by U.S. and international agencies. Ramírez has served as a lead figure in Venezuela’s energy sector since at least 2002 when he was appointed to lead the energy ministry by former president Hugo Chávez. He faces allegations of having taken money from state accounts through fraudulent insurance contracts with the country’s national oil company, according to the Wall Street Journal....

LIVE: Follow Morocco vs Portugal updates from the World Cup The 21-year-old Goncalo Ramos bagged a Round of 16 hat-trick in place of 37-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo in the Portugal starting lineup, announcing himself to the world while the aging superstar watched from the bench.
