Has Balotelli just mocked United? The former Paris Saint-Germain star made a blistering start to life in the Premier League, scoring four goals in his first four outings. Since then, however, it has all been downhill for Zlatan. Sunday’s blank against Chelsea marked the fifth consecutive game he has failed to trouble the scorers in the English top flight. That equals an unenviable record for the Swede, who last went so many minutes without a league goal six years ago while playing for AC Milan....
After thieves swiped the nearly 100-year-old timepiece, it turned up at a rummage sale and was then spotted by an eagle-eyed eBay sleuth who tracked down the original owners. Paul Janes’ late grandfather was given the clock for helping police in Maidstone, Kent, in the U.K., with an arrest on the day after Christmas in 1925. But 90 years later, heartless crooks broke into his home in Netherfield, England and ransacked several rooms in the property....

TV viewers and sports insiders alike were stunned when they heard the voice of the notoriously reticent, press-shy Patriots coach narrating the video montage for Tuesday night’s Game 1 between the Red Sox and Dodgers from Boston’s historic Fenway Park. How did Fox persuade Belichick — the Darth Vader of press conferences whose curt answers put Spurs coach Gregg Popovich to shame — to expound on winning and the history of these two storied franchises?...
In 1976, when the two Viking landers confirmed that the Martian atmosphere was more chock-full of carbon dioxide than a bottle of seltzer, hardly anyone grasped the implication: that tons and tons of rocket fuel could be synthesized out of Mars’s air, making traveling to and from Mars even easier than trips to the moon. In the 1980s, Martian meteorites revealed that the planet’s soil contains lots of gypsum. No one pointed out that the find meant that astronauts on Mars could bake the gypsum, add some Martian water and iron-rich dust and thereby manufacture, on Earth’s sibling planet, enough Portland cement to build an extraterrestrial Jamestown....
Reeves signed a bill Wednesday that became law immediately, legalizing medical marijuana for people with debilitating conditions such as cancer, AIDS and glaucoma. Though Reeves mentioned the benefits of medical marijuana, he took a dig at recreational users suggesting that pot smokers are less motivated to have jobs. “There is no doubt that there are individuals in our state who could do significantly better if they had access to medically prescribed doses of cannabis,” Reeves wrote in a statement posted to Twitter....
Leaders at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) said they are seeing more and more people under the age of 50 and children being hospitalized after contracting the virus. The rise in new cases is putting a strain on health systems in Mississippi, with officials stating on Wednesday that there were only six ICU beds available throughout the state, reported WJTV. “We are at this moment over capacity,” Dr....
Byhalia Police officer David Pannell’s post mocked Harris’ “Cindarella story” ascension to the second-highest political office in the nation following the recent November 3 poll and also falsely asserted that Democratic President-Elect Joe Biden had dementia, according to local media reports. “She will be an inspiration to young girls by showing if your sleep with the right powerfully connected men then you too can play second fiddle to a man with dementia,” Pannell wrote....

“When I look at the map, Missouri actually jumps out as the place that I’m most worried about because there’s a lot of cases now happening very rapidly,” Dr. Francis Collins told McClatchy’s bureau in the District of Columbia. Collins, who has been the institute’s director for over a decade, warned that the Delta variant is “highly contagious.” “Anybody who’s not vaccinated is in a danger zone…. The chances of getting infected in Missouri are getting really high, and that means potentially serious illness or even death,” Collins added....
The greatest comeback in history! Paris Saint-Germain discovered that to their cost on Wednesday, as they were eliminated from the Champions League 6-5 on aggregate, having held a 4-0 lead from the first leg. PSG conceded three times in the last two minutes to suffer elimination on a historic night, but the Dane says these things are possible and must be treated as a “learning experience”. The Scottish champions, meanwhile, went to Barca on the opening night of the competition and suffered a heavy loss, but centre-back Sviatchenko now draws the positives from such an experience....
The Leafs enter Wednesday’s matchup against the Flyers coming off a dismal five-game road trip that saw the team go 1-2-2 and drop the last four contests. Most recently was a loss to the Ducks on Sunday night, a 4-3 defeat in overtime that came after the Maple Leafs blew a two-goal lead in the third period. If the loss wasn’t bad enough, we had quite the display from Toronto’s bench area that caught the attention of all eyes on social media....
Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell has been in private discussions with House minority leader Kevin McCarthy, Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows for days, looking at what outgoing President Donald Trump will be willing to sign into law in his final days in office. Proposals for a new round of stimulus checks have now been delayed for months, held up by political deadlock in Congress and the election, and experts are skeptical about the noises being made by top decision-makers....
Update: McConnell issued a statement Saturday afternoon delaying floor activity until after October 19, but said the Senate Judiciary Committee will begin Supreme Court justice confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett as scheduled starting next Monday, October 12. “Have I ever been tested? Yes,” asked the Kentucky senator, as reported by the Lexington Herald-Leader. “I’m not going to answer questions about when. We are following the guidelines that we’ve been given by the CDC....
Lindelof, 22, arrived from Portuguese champions Benfica in a £30million deal in the off-season but the Sweden international defender was left out of United’s squad for Sunday’s Premier League opener against West Ham – a 4-0 victory.

The Red Devils spent big over the summer to lure the talented playmaker away from Borussia Dortmumd. He was expected to make a positive impact in English football, but struggled initially to force his way into Jose Mourinho’s plans.
