Los Blancos 6/1 to beat Eibar 3-0 A Raphael Varane own goal gave Spurs the lead on Tuesday before Cristiano Ronaldo’s equaliser from the penalty spot prior to half-time. Benzema missed a fifth-minute opportunity before being denied by an incredible Hugo Lloris save from close range shortly after the break in what was the striker’s second game back from a hamstring injury. Zidane talked up the save from Lloris, who used his left foot to somehow keep out the Benzema header....

The Blues are aiming to complete a Premier League and FA Cup double in the Wembley showpiece, having dominated all comers in the top flight this term.

Were you disappointed Phil didn’t get to take out Tony? No. I didn’t want Phil to die, but I figured he was going to. Tony is a very important character, so I assumed he wouldn’t die. Yours is the kind of death scene for which you have to prepare your friends and family. I didn’t tell anyone except my wife. I had to spend a whole day in makeup to make the prosthetic head....

“Yo” If you had to guess which greeting came from a male and which from a female, you undoubtedly identified the first as uttered by a girl and the latter by a boy. Not so fast. For 15 years the claim has been floating around that females talk more than men, with last year’s popular book “The Female Brain,” by neuropsychiatrist Louann Brizendine, asserting that women use 20,000 words per day while men manage to spit out a mere 7,000....

But the third-year safety from LSU was lost for the season in last Sunday’s 40-17 win over the Eagles after tearing the ACL in his right knee. With Aaron Rodgers and the playoff-bound Packers coming to town Sunday, the Cardinals will miss their defensive leader in the secondary. But the Cardinals still have Bucannon, who also is used at linebacker, and Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson to go with a solid defensive front led by Pro Bowler Calais Campbell....

McCoy led the NFL with 1,607 rushing yards in 2013, which was Kelly’s first season as Philadelphia’s coach. McCoy had another solid season in 2014 with 1,319 yards and five touchdowns. But four fumbles that year caused him to fall out of favor with Kelly, who brought his high-powered Oregon offense to the NFL.

A naturally occurring molecule, it builds up in under-nourished animals and plants attacked by fungi. One of the latter is the grapevine–yup, resveratrol is found in red wine. Of course, if we had a nickel for every study touting wine as a health food, we’d own our own vineyard. But wine doesn’t contain much resveratrol, and the compound degrades quickly in both the glass and the body. A pill might work better, though, and a provisional patent has already been filed....

Flynn may well be right that his life was extended by those painless diagnostic procedures. In a study published in this week’s New England Journal of Medicine, researchers report that early detection of lung cancer followed by surgery within one month results in a 10-year survival rate of 92 percent. That’s a big deal because lung cancer kills more Americans than any other cancer. Each year 173,000 Americans are diagnosed with the disease and 164,000 die from it....

On Tuesday, 100 physicians and health care workers signed a letter praising Fauci’s expertise and his being an “independent and reliable voice” regardless of political consequences. Amid rumors that Fauci is being sidelined by the administration because his opinions ran contrary to Donald Trump’s, the letter’s signatories said America must continue to include Fauci in the response to the crisis and “resist political efforts to silence his invaluable counsel.”...

They’re right in tune with popular culture, which has replaced the image of the all-knowing healer with that of the highly educated guesser. In thoughtful, bestselling books, Jerome Groopman (“How Doctors Think”) and Atul Gawande (“Better: A Surgeon’s Notes on Performance”) have laid bare the workings of the medical mind, which, it turns out, works pretty much like any other. Doctors, we learn in these books, don’t always know what’s wrong with their patients or what to do in response....

Newsweek spoke to two canine experts to find out what are some healthy human foods that you can give to your growing puppy as either a regular or occasional treat.

In Culture of Complaint: The Fraying of America (210 pages. Oxford. $19.95), Time magazine art critic Robert Hughes takes the usual line: the center cannot hold. The P.C. left whines about its victimization; the fundamentalist right and predatory rich victimize others; our rotting infrastructure suggests “a hollowness at the cultural core.” Yet the book is less a rant than a romp. Hughes’s clearsightedness, fairmindedness and plain-spokenness make the grimmest (and most familiar) diagnoses exhilarating: linking multiculturalism to political correctness, he writes, “has turned what ought to be a generous recognition of cultural diversity into a worthless symbolic program, clogged with lumpen-radical jargon....

“I don’t think it has anything to do with the protests,” TNT’s “Inside the NBA” analyst said about the Colin Kaepernick-inspired player demonstrations for racial justice during the national anthem that have split the NFL for two years. “The NFL’s ratings were so high, they had to bottom out at some point … but I really don’t know the answer to that question.” That may be a first for Barkley, but he’s not the only sports TV insider wondering how the NFL has lost 18 percent of its TV audience, or nearly 1 in 5 viewers, in just two years while the rising NBA has become the hip, hot league for many sports fans....

After Nigeria pushed Argentina all the way in their final group game, Senegal became the latest African outfit to suffer heartbreak at the hands of South American opposition and their exit was arguably even harder to take. Aliou Cisse’s side didn’t just concede a late goal, they bowed out on yellow cards. Colombia’s 1-0 win saw them top the group but Japan and Senegal had the same number of points, goals scored and goals conceded (all four), while they had drawn 2-2 in their matchday two meeting....
