The trophy, officially, is “awarded to the outstanding college football player … whose performance epitomizes great ability combined with diligence, perseverance, and hard work.” Though that could be true of any number of players and positions in the sport, it most often boils down to this: the most talented quarterback in the country — a point of consternation among many fans who enjoy the sport. The same is true this season, with all four Heisman Trophy finalists — Caleb Williams of USC, Stetson Bennett of Georgia, C....

What? You can’t find “Gold Rush” on your 500 cable channels? That’s because it isn’t there. It’s on the Internet. And nearly 11 million users have tuned in. Chalk up another home run for reality-TV king Mark Burnett, the man who changed the rules–and economics–of television with “Survivor” and “The Apprentice.” Now he’s applying his lucrative formula to a Web confection that’s helping long-suffering AOL in its quest to reclaim the gold itself....

On Thursday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced in a press statement that the onions used in HelloFresh and EveryPlate food products have been recalled due to the “potential presence of salmonella bacteria.” Both companies are asking consumers to discard onions that were received during the time period of July 7, 2021, through September 8, 2021. “Please note that onions received after September 8, 2021 are not affected by this recall,” said the FDA....

That’s big money for almost anyone, let alone a kid. It’s also a sign of the times. The Information Revolution is speeding ahead of its most valuable resource: workers with high-tech smarts. They go by many names in Silicon Valley: Web masters, intranet designers, applications engineers. But they share two things: an ability to run the complicated machines that increasingly govern our lives–and the fact that there are no longer enough of them to go around....

As frustrating as hemorrhoids can be, even scientists are not entirely sure why some people develop them and others do not. What we do know is that there are certain factors that can increase a person’s risk. Some of these (such as a tendency to be constipated) are modifiable, while others (such as genetics and age) are not. Common Causes Hemorrhoids will affect three of every four people at one time or another in their lives....

Eden Hazard illuminated the first half at Anfield with a fine performance for the Premier League champions, while Salah carried Liverpool’s main attacking threat throughout an absorbing encounter. Everton 7/2 to beat Southampton The Egypt forward pounced to net his 15th goal of the season in the 65th minute, but Willian – one of the players who once obstructed Salah’s path to the Chelsea first team – came off the bench to equalise with an overhit cross five minutes from time....

Either way, count Henrik Lundqvist in. As rumors swirl about a veteran firesale, New York’s longest-tenured foot soldier affirmed his commitment to the organization Friday, rather than chase a Stanley Cup elsewhere. RUMOR ROUNDUP: McDonagh enters trade rumor mill as Rangers stumble “I want to play for one organization. This one," Lundqvist told the New York Post in a lengthy interview about the state of the franchise, the only one he’s known in 13 NHL seasons....

Henson has been disappointed in the lack of due process for two of his alma mater’s players, P.J. Hairston and Leslie McDonald, who remain in NCAA limbo as the organization looks into eligibility issues for both players. Hairston was found twice this past summer to have driven rental cars linked to a convicted felon, raising concerns of an improper benefit. North Carolina has not said what is at issue with McDonald, but it may be concerning a letter the school sent that ordered a company making designer mouth guards to stop using McDonald on its website over the summer....

The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) said it is investigating two cases of the disease in employees of Brady’s Steaks and Seafood in the city of Pascagoula—located on the Gulf Coast. The two employees have been diagnosed with hepatitis A, and health officials said that the staff members had worked at the restaurant while potentially infectious, which could have led to “possible exposure” for customers. Hepatitis A is a contagious liver disease caused by the hepatitis A virus....

Her graceful neck rises higher than the trees, like a giraffe in slow motion, her liquid eyes staring curiously, then dismissively, at the gaping humans; she returns to her grazing as if these late-model mammals were no more worthy of note than their scruffy shrewlike ancestors, with whom she shared the Earth 130 million years ago. The lack of interest is not mutual. The beast on that rolling meadow looks for all the world like a living dinosaur–a real, respiring, mothering, thundering, leaf-chomping Brachiosaurus....

On July 10, 2013, 23-year-old Sonny Gray made his MLB debut. Three months later, he outdueled Justin Verlander in Game 2 of the ALDS, effectively channeling the energy of 48,292 yellow-towel-waving fans at the Coliseum. This year, left-handers Jesus Luzardo, 21, and A.J. Puk, 24, will attempt to uphold that legacy for Oakland. The top prospects are expected to debut sometime in July after rehabbing from injury, and there are high expectations for their arrivals....

In a statement posted on its website, the College Board announced that it will be taking the SAT fully online after successfully testing it in November. “The digital SAT will be easier to take, easier to give, and more relevant,” said Priscilla Rodriguez, vice president of College Readiness Assessments at the College Board. “We’re not simply putting the current SAT on a digital platform—we’re taking full advantage of what delivering an assessment digitally makes possible....

Each St. Patrick’s Day it’s estimated a whopping 13 million pints of Guinness will be consumed globally on the holiday, according to Fortune in 2017, which is celebrated everywhere with Irish descent. It’s possible that number may lower in 2020 due to local regulations from the global outbreak of COVID-19, or coronavirus. In America, it’s unlikely bars will be pouring drinks after all. President Donald Trump banned gatherings of over 10 people on Monday evening after a weekend full of St....

“I will not watch it,” he said on the Big Ten teleconference Tuesday. “We’ve got to get ready for Michigan State.” The rest of us will go there with the Buckeyes because it’s that first real threat to plunge the College Football Playoff into pure chaos. Ohio State’s predicament could be the test of all tests for the committee if that Bit Ten chalk holds. BENDER: Committee got it right with Clemson over Louisville...

If you’re tired of mayhem and misery, this is for ,you. It’s a dose of straight optimism. I have just received my latest edition of the “Statistical Abstract of the United States.” Published by the Census Bureau, it’s full of intriguing facts about America: everything from the share of U.S. households with pets (37 percent have dogs) to the number of libraries (31,167). 1 have scoured it for underreported or underappreciated good news....

Sebastian Scott: OK, the first one’s called “There Goes the Neighborhood.” Three neighbors decide who should move into the house next door. But they have to do it without ever meeting the person. They are only allowed to go around to that person’s current home and make decisions by what they find inside their kitchen or living room–or in photographs of them. We also watch the people whose houses are being gone through watch these strangers go through all their drawers....

But Wednesday afternoon at the final press conference for his first pay-per-view headlining bout, we saw the same Broner. There were certainly moments where he gave thoughtful answers to reporters’ questions. But it was again overshadowed by unprofessional conduct beforehand. Join DAZN and watch Demetrius Andrade vs. Artur Akavov on Jan. 18 Broner complained, saying Showtime PPV went cheap on the promotion for his fight against Manny Pacquiao. “I’m pissed off for real,” Broner said when he took to the dais....
