On Twitter, Miles said he didn't actually put it on. But either way, it was a funny follow-up to the first ad featuring the two mascots from ESPN.

An internal affairs investigation was requested by Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen into McClay, who posted the photo as Denver was undergoing a series of protests related to the death of Minneapolis man George Floyd, a black man who died while in police custody. Demonstrators have engaged in protests that have, in some cases, turned violent. McClay was fired after the investigation concluded that he “violated the Department’s social media policy [and] posted content inconsistent with the values of the Department....

Moments before boarding the plane to Texas, Hancock tweeted “avoid travel, if you can,” “stay home as much as you can,” and “host virtual gatherings instead of in-person dinners” in a Thanksgiving post about slowing the spread of the coronavirus. His spokeswoman confirmed to NBC affiliate KUSA on Wednesday that the mayor was traveling to visit his daughter in Mississippi, and that his wife was already there. Hancock has said his family will be foregoing a large gathering this Thanksgiving, writing in an email to city staff that for his family, coronavirus precautions “means cancelling our traditional gathering of our extended family....

Carr has spent the entirety of his career in Las Vegas (and Oakland) silver and black, and after his comments on Tuesday, he wants to end his career in the desert. Speaking after Vegas minicamp practice, Carr said he’d rather retire than play for someone other than the Raiders. “I’d probably quit football if I had to play for somebody else,” Carr said Tuesday. “I am a Raider for my entire life....

Henry hasn’t always been dominant against Buffalo, but he posted one of the best games of his career against the Bills in 2021, rushing for the 14th-most single-game yards in his career (143), his 10th-best yards per carry (7.15) and recording the sixth game of his career with at least three rushing touchdowns. The Bills will have to hope that they’re better prepared for him on “Monday Night Football,” when the Bills host the Titans for a rematch of last year’s Week 6 clash....

The 24-year-old has enjoyed a productive calendar year for club and country, and has now seen those efforts recognised with a prestigious prize. How Milner spun Liverpool gold Past winners of the award include former World Player of the Year Kaka, Paris Saint-Germain defender Thiago Silva and Barcelona superstar Neymar. Coutinho is clearly in good company, with the likes of Luis Fabiano and Maicon also on the roll of honour....

Coutinho 9/1 for last goal Saturday Coutinho had been wrapped up in a ‘will he, won’t he’ transfer saga involving a potential move to Barcelona, during which the attacker handed in a formal transfer request at Anfield in a bid to force through a move to Camp Nou. Liverpool ultimately opted not to give in to the player and Barcelona’s wishes, however, leaving the 25-year-old now with the unenviable task of returning to a club squad well aware that he had planned to leave them behind for pastures new....

Fake news is “manufactured with no respect for accuracy,” explain researchers from the University of East Anglia (UEA) in the U.K. It is fiction disguised as fact and often features “emotive or conspiracy-framed narratives.” It is also exceedingly popular—by some measurements, around half of the U.S. population endorses one or more health-based conspiracy theories. Social media users are also far more likely to share fake news and pseudoscience than medical information from legitimate health authorities, the researchers found....

With confirmed cases of COVID-19 rapidly escalating across America, federal and local governments have moved to suspend domestic large sector activities to contain the outbreak. And as bars, malls and dine-in establishments continue to close around the country, millions of Americans have either already been laid off from their jobs or will likely be soon. “Without vigorous steps, the CDC estimates the COVID-19 will infect 70 to 150 million Americans in the next few months, of whom 80 percent will get sick,” Michael Hicks, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research and professor of economics in the Miller College of Business at Ball State University, told Newsweek....

Investigations are currently underway to identify the source of the infections, while quarantine measures have been placed on the two farms as a precautionary measure. Authorities suspect the minks contracted the illness from farm staff carrying the virus, with reports that some employees from both faculties had shown symptoms of COVID-19. The Agriculture Ministry said that while there is evidence ferrets—and, consequently, minks—may be affected by the virus responsible for COVID-19, there is no evidence yet that livestock and pets can pass the virus onto humans and the risk of the minks passing the virus onto humans was “negligible....

The increase in cloud revenue for Big Tech is an amplification of a decade-long trend. Companies are spending more on outsourcing their computing needs, and in the last 10 years, enterprise spending on cloud services have increased by over 8,500 percent, going from $1.1 billion in 2009 to $96.4 billion in 2019. Overall spending on cloud storage and IT infrastructure is quickly replacing non-cloud solutions in the form of physical servers and computers owned by a company....

They found COVID-19 may either cause new heart problems or worsen underlying issues. COVID-19 was associated with heart inflammation and there was a “high prevalence” of cardiac injury in patients hospitalized with the disease. But the team noted “the severity, extent, and short-term vs long-term cardiovascular effects of COVID-19, along with the effect of specific treatments are not yet known, and are subject to close scrutiny and investigation.” Patients with milder COVID-19 cases who don’t need hospitalization are less likely to encounter heart problems, they believe....

The United States is working to get back on track with COVID-19 vaccination efforts after winter storms across the country cancelled appointments and derailed vaccine deliveries. The number of vaccines distributed across the country increased by about 17 million since last Monday, up from the usual 10 million increase we see week over week. When it comes to actually getting these vaccines into arms, though, the country is holding steady; as of March 1, about 79....

According to data from the COVID Tracking Project, cases in New York have continued to rise over the past few weeks, placing the state close to its earlier peak numbers from April. The data shows that on Wednesday, the state reported 10,600 new cases of the novel virus. The state’s 7-day average number of cases has also continued to increase, with 9,832 as of Wednesday.

A fourth person who was believed to have contracted COVID from the dealership also died but did not meet the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s (CDPHE) case definition to be added to the outbreak fatality list. San Juan Basin Public Health (SJBPH) reported that the first case in the outbreak was identified June 19. After that initial case, 11 other individuals have been detected. Five of those linked to the outbreak have been confirmed by CDPHE full-genome sequencing as cases of the Delta variant....

The update comes as part of an expansion of the state’s vaccine rollout, in which Salt Lake County has been gradually decreasing the age limit for a vaccine by one year over the past few days. On February 19, the vaccine was available to people aged 69 or over. Salt Lake County Health Department urged those who are eligible for a vaccine to step forward. The department said in a tweet: “Vaccination is a key step to ending the pandemic....

The COVID vaccines have been shown to be safe and effective for pregnant people. The new data also provides reassurance to parents that their babies will also get the shots’ benefits. Researchers looked at 379 infants under the age of 6 months in 17 states. Of the babies in the study, 176 had COVID and 203 did not have COVID. The babies were seen at 20 different children’s hospitals in the United States from July 2021 to January 2022....

Experts have been concerned about the possibility for a COVID-19 variant to evade vaccines, thereby putting even those who have been inoculated at risk. However, a new study from Harvard found variants with partial immune escape cause a less severe impact on the pandemic, in part because they’re more likely to cause breakthrough infections or reinfections, which tend to have more mild symptoms. “Partial immune escape can have severe consequences, but mainly when paired with enhanced transmissibility,” the study, published on Thursday in Cell, found....
