Liverpool 4/6 to beat Sevilla Back injuries and illness were cited as the reasons for the Brazil international’s absence against the backdrop of a transfer request and a succession of bids from Barcelona that Liverpool rebuffed....

The 6-foot-8 Yakwe, who hails from Bamako, Mali, was the leading shot-blocker in Nike’s EYBL circuit this year. Yakwe also fielded interest from Indiana and Maryland, but had narrowed his choice to St. John’s and Oregon before ultimately committing to the Red Storm.

Disordered clotting with COVID-19 is now recognized as one of its most difficult and dangerous manifestations. Doctors and researchers are still determining the causes of the clotting problems seen with COVID-19, as well as how to detect them early, how to prevent them, and how to treat them. What Causes Clotting Problems With COVID-19? Blood clotting abnormalities are common in people with severe COVID-19 who are hospitalized. In the large majority of cases, these clotting disorders mean an increased tendency to form blood clots....

For the last two years, the motorcycle industry has seen unprecedented growth, at a time when the passenger vehicle industry has struggled to produce vehicles for sale. According to the Motorcycle Industry Council Retail Sales Reporting System, which gathers new-motorcycle and scooter retail sales data from the 14 leading manufacturers and distributors in the U.S , motorcycle sales are up for the second straight year. Motorcycle sales, across all categories — scooters, on-highway, dual purpose and off-highway — are up 21....

The three states are among a handful of battleground states where collectively more than a million votes have yet to be counted, as of 10 a.m ET on Thursday. Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania have each witnessed an increase in their average daily case tally over the latest 14-day period from October 22 to November 4, according to JHU. At the time of writing, at least 86 percent of expected votes have been counted in Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania, according to data compiled by Reuters....

The message was shared Monday by actress June Diane Raphael who tweeted a screenshot of a text received from her “best friend (pulmonary and critical care doctor).” Asked by Raphael “how she was doing”, the doctor responded: “We are overflowing our units. We are short staffed. We are physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted. “We are completely surging. I am carrying more and sicker patients than ever in my career. They are almost all covid....

At least 203.15 million people worldwide are affected by these mandates, according to a calculation by Newsweek based on figures from World Population Review. This figure does not include countries such as the U.S., which have introduced compulsory vaccination for some workers and public officials but not for the rest of the population. The calculation only includes countries that have enacted mandates for their whole adult population. On November 23, Austria became the first Western democracy and European Union member state to announce restrictions, saying vaccination would be compulsory from February 1....

On Monday, Orange County announced it would establish the first of five Super Point-of-Dispensing (POD) vaccination sites at Disneyland. It is hoped thousands of residents will be vaccinated each day at the Super PODs, according to a news release. Disneyland’s vaccine site will be “operational later this week,” the release said. The news came the day that California Governor Gavin Newsom revealed mass vaccination sites would be open “this week” at locations including the Dodger Stadium, Padres Stadium, and CalExpo....

MORE: NFC predictions: Can Cowboys bounce back? Cowboys rookie running back Ezekiel Elliot topped the entire league in jersey sales from April 1 to June 30, according to sales on NFLShop.com and ESPN.com. Making the feat even more impressive — Elliott wasn’t drafted by the Cowboys until April 28. Tom Brady, Odell Beckham Jr., Cam Newton, Rob Gronkowski and Eagles rookie QB Carson Wentz finished second through sixth in sales, respectively....

Dallas is set to open the preseason against the 49ers on Saturday and Garrett was asked how he felt about his team following its annual Blue-White scrimmage last weekend. “We’re way far off as a team, we’re not even close,” Garrett told reporters Tuesday, via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “I thought there were some flashes on both sides of the ball and the kicking game, flashing in each of the three units, but we’re not even close....

Dallas can only think about “what if” Prescott had a few more seconds and one more possession in Sunday’s 34-31 upset loss to Green Bay. But he was the reason the Cowboys, who at one point were down 21-3, could even hang with a red-hot, Aaron Rodgers-led Packers offense for four quarters. Even with a big lead, it took Rodgers making a great throw, Jared Cook making a great catch and Mason Crosby making two consecutive long field goals for the Packers to knock out the Cowboys....

An Emory University study has declared that the Cowboys have the “best” fans in the NFL. There’s no way around the subjectivity of a label like that, but the authors say their use of a series of hard data “focused on market outcomes like attendance, prices or revenues” adds some scientific oomph to their findings.

Jerry Jones and the Cowboys are no strangers to the flashy, big-time move, so it’s no surprise that they’re reportedly targeting the most intriguing offensive weapon in the NFL Draft: Florida tight end Kyle Pitts. ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported on an NFL Draft special that Jerrah and Co. are hot after the Florida product and may look to move up to select him (via 247Sports). MORE: Compare the latest mock drafts from NFL Draft experts...

The lessons that come from the 31-16 victory at AT&T Stadium? First: thank goodness for the NFC East. Second, and probably more important: huge offensive numbers can give you “moral” victories, as owner Jerry Jones suggested after the Broncos’ loss, but contributions in all the other phases get you the real kind. These can come in handy next week, when the Cowboys go to Philadelphia to break the tie of mediocrity in the division....

These teams conclude their regular season series after meeting in Week 3 when Dallas notched a 23-16 road victory with Cooper Rush filling in for the injured Dak Prescott. Both Dallas and New York sit behind the 9-1 Eagles, and if either team wants to win the NFC East, notching a Thanksgiving Day win will go a long way toward those aspirations. Can Dallas notch a regular-season sweep over New York, or can the Giants hand the Cowboys their fourth straight loss on Turkey Day?...

The price is steep, but we’re feeling aggressive in this spot and are siding with Nelson to find the end zone. Not only does Nelson have perhaps the best quarterback in the game – Aaron Rodgers – throwing to him, but he’s a red zone and home run threat in the same package. If the Packers are able to move the ball successfully as they have for most of the season, Nelson will have multiple chances to score, from close and from distance....

The Vikings are coming off a massive win over the Bills in what many have called the “game of the year.” Justin Jefferson padded his standing as the best wide receiver in football, catching anything Kirk Cousins tossed in his general direction and making awesomely clutch plays. All told, JJ recorded 10 catches for 193 yards and a TD. Dalvin Cook was also explosive, rushing 14 times for 119 yards and a TD....

“I’m a real dude, man, and I’m going to let that speak for itself and some things out there I’ve been preaching not for the games,” Bryant said, via the Forth Worth Star-Telegram. “I’m a human being and, you know, I just spoke real about my life.” MORE: Top 10 Cowboys of all time | Dez tells Jerry, ‘I’m not Michael Irvin’ In the Aug. 27 article, Bryant said he lived in poverty with a “grandmother on crack and running the streets; his mother selling crack to raise her three kids, all of whom she’d had by 18; the stepmother’s house with the lock on the fridge....

Creative agencies and the advertising industry as a whole occupy a privileged position as cultural communicators. I believe leaders in this industry have a responsibility to try and represent the world we want to live in, rather than stand on the sidelines. Yet the power we wield to influence public opinion is balanced by the limitations of that power and the fact we don’t work in a vacuum. We cannot do this alone....
