ESPN’s Pete Thamel broke the new Monday evening on Twitter, adding a statement he obtained from Briles to the university. Briles, of course, led the Bears from 2008 to 2015, where he compiled a 65-37 record and four double digit-win seasons in his last five years in Waco, Texas. All this while featuring offenses that torched opposing defenses. There’s no question that Briles had success of the football field, but he was fired in May 2016 amid a horrific sexual assault scandal in which the NCAA found he and his coaching staff ignored reports of players committing sexual assault for several years....

Due to her age, the 95-year-old British monarch is at increased risk of severe disease from coronavirus compared to younger people—though she is said to be experiencing mild cold-like symptoms since contracting the virus.

Similarly, the number of deaths among people over the age of 65 is 97 times higher than the number of deaths among people aged 18 to 29, the CDC states....

Nearly all businesses are affected because addiction is everywhere. In addition to the purely financial costs, there’s also the devastating impact of addiction on the mental and emotional health of employees and family members. When family members and employees are dealing with addiction, whether alcohol or substance, they have difficulty focusing on work requirements. Absenteeism, working while impaired or hungover, or just working while worried about a loved one all can create work conflicts that employees simply can’t talk about....

Matt Smith has done an admirable job of spending most of the season practicing a bit of a balancing act in that regard. Every time he’s looked like he might actually be evil, he’s done something to show that he’s really just wrestling with his place in life. Or that he just feels as if he’s earned a bad rap. Of course, the last episode of House of the Dragon seemed to show he was starting to careen towards a very dark place....

New York’s Aaron Judge struck out and Gleyber Torres flied to left to send the game to the bottom of the ninth tied, 4-4....

Trailing 17-12 with 30 seconds left, Houston quarterback Greg Ward scrambled out of the pocket and ran toward the front left corner of the end zone. He could sniff the game-winning touchdown. He was almost there. Then this happened.

At 17 times the size of the sun, astronomers estimate this massive star should be just 5 million years old. But the motion of the star indicates that the flight time to its present location should have taken 39 million years, almost eight times its predicted lifespan....
