The people who participated in the selection of the watch list for the Bob Cousy Award, presented to the nation’s best college point guard, perhaps overlooked a player or two who might have been worthy of consideration. No doubt the people in Cincinnati are wondering why someone with Troy Caupain’s credentials — two years starting for NCAA Tournament teams, 13 points and 4.8 assists last season — was not included....
The 24-year-old marked the showdown on December 31 as his dream return date from the ankle injury sustained in the 2-0 win over Sunderland a month ago. He is still training alone, though, and Klopp explained that Coutinho’s recovery programme needed to be “cooled down” due to an averse reaction in the problem area. However, the Reds boss believes he is still “in a good way” with his treatment....
Does Reds’ Man Utd test come at the worst possible time? As the Brazilian’s chip sailed over the goalkeeper, the fight was sucked out of Manchester United; large swathes of their supporters departed with 15 minutes to spare knowing there were no designs for late drama. The hosts surrended the game 1-1 and the Europa League last-16 tie 3-1 on aggregate. Jurgen Klopp has referenced that evening - March 17, 2016 - on several occasions, stating Coutinho’s wizardry was like a remote that shut down the opposition and turned off the noise of over 70,000 people....

Even as most COVID-19 restrictions are being relaxed in response to declining case numbers, Emhoff’s positive test shows the virus remains a source of disruption for daily life even for those who are vaccinated and boosted. Emhoff’s positive test is the first public case in either the first or second families since Biden took office. “My symptoms are mild and I’m grateful to be both vaccinated and boosted,” said Emhoff on Twitter Tuesday....
Leila Centner, the co-founder of the Centner Academy in Miami and a anti-vaccination activist, told employees in a letter last week that she made the policy decision with a “very heavy heart.” She asked those who have not received a COVID-19 vaccine to wait until the end of the school year to get vaccinated. In a letter to parents, Centner included an unfounded claim that unvaccinated women have experienced miscarriages and other adverse reproductive problems from standing near vaccinated people....
In response to the rush of ineligible appointments, city officials decided to postpone the clinic, which was initially scheduled for Thursday.

Of the 1,500 people who made vaccination appointments for the Thursday clinic, more than 900 were deemed ineligible, Derderian said. Those ineligible individuals did not work or live in Pasadena, nor were they members of groups that the state currently prioritizes to receive COVID-19 vaccinations, she said....

Last year, the Cowboys allowed 386.4 yards per game, a bottom-10 mark in the NFL, and allowed 29.6 points per game, a bottom-five mark in the league. The Cowboys badly need to keep adding talent on that side of the ball and they will likely spend a majority of the 2021 NFL Draft doing that after retaining some offensive continuity via a long-term deal with Prescott this offseason. Of course, the team does still need to upgrade some spots on offense....
The NFL franchise’s rise to the top is based on a 25 percent increase in value to $4 billion, with Madrid — which had been first in each of the last three years — second with $3.65 billion after a 12 percent appreciation.

While Dallas suffered a heartbreaking loss, Philadelphia took care of business against Chicago in Week 15. The Eagles got off to a slow start, scoring just 10 first-half points against a struggling Bears defense that ranks last in EPA/play (+0....

While we have heard a lot of people talking about how to address this crisis, with sweeping recommendations from the international community, conspicuous by their absence are the voices of affected communities. Yet they must be center-stage as full partners if we are to achieve the sustainable change that’s needed....
