Gordon may soon have his year-long drug suspension reduced to 10 games, once the NFL and the players association officially agree to a revised drug policy. His DWI could fall under the league’s personal conduct policy. Gordon, who has missed two games under his current suspension, was arrested for DWI and speeding on July 4.

What an opener! Director Nicholas Hytner’s provocative new reading of Carousel floods an American classic with fresh air and fresh ideas. For audiences that know this 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical chiefly from the 1956 movie, the “Carousel” that opened last week at New York’s Lincoln Center will be a revelation. No longer the sexless story of a marshmallow (soprano) in love with a meanie (baritone), this production peels away swaths of sentimentality to lay bare the rough edges and ready passions of real drama....

These bans were originally imposed when Russia seemed to have largely weathered the COVID19 storm. But these past two weeks, confirmed that COVID19 cases in Russia have sky-rocketed, taking it to the third highest globally.

British-born Wolfram, now 42, son of a novelist and a philosophy professor, was miserable at Eton, the boy’s hoary boarding school outside London. He figured out the locations on the fabled playing fields where a soccer ball was least likely to find him, ignored his instructor’s attempts to “try to teach us how to eat peas” and was astonished at how little they added to the scientific knowledge he’d gathered on his own....

Before this “ping,” Breton had spent his June and July off the coast of Florida....

“The governor has figured out we can stop trade along the border, slow it down, and it will create pressure on Mexico and some of their governors to work out a deal to help us with border security,” Paxton told Fox News’ Mornings With Maria on Friday.
