It has been said that human beings occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time they just pick themselves up and swagger on. To me, that’s a fair description of the consumer-credit-reporting services. Over the years, case after unhappy case has come to the industry’s attention, where errors in personal-credit reports have ruined hopes and sometimes lives. Yet the credit bureaus didn’t pay much attention because the overall system functioned well....
Why Hazard should stay at Chelsea Mourinho said earlier this week that he is “totally against” friendly matches unless they are played in the run-up to major international tournaments. Manchester City boss Guardiola accepts that football federations need time to prepare their teams, and that he would like the same opportunities if he were the coach of a national team. But he says that there are too many important club games at this time of year in various different competitions, and that playing international friendlies is “too risky” considering the rest of the calendar includes summer tournaments and long qualification stages....
Klopp in ’no doubt’ about Guardiola’s qualities Guardiola says City did “the only thing I didn’t want” during the first half at the Stade Louis II on Wednesday, when they were forced back by the French side and conceded two early goals which eventually sealed their fate. And while the Catalan admits his side have been caught out too often this season, he believes next season will bring progress, even if he refutes the idea that he will sell half of his current squad....
“If you think I said Napoli were a strong team just to be a paraculo, then forget it,” the Manchester City manager remarked. It was met with the kind of laughter you’d hear from foreigners when you swear in their native language. The word denotes a kind of insincere flattery; a paraculo might well be someone who says complimentary things about other people just to get some praise for themselves....
In an interview with France Football, Toure strongly criticised the Manchester City boss. The veteran midfielder, who was handed a solitary Premier League start in the final season of a hugely successful eight-year stint at the Etihad Stadium, accused Guardiola of having “problems with Africans wherever he goes” and said he was treated as a rival. City and Guardiola initially declined to comment on the quotes, but the latter has now made it clear he totally refutes Toure’s comments....
Man City qualified for the Champions League this season but Guardiola failed to pick up any silverware in his first season in the Premier League. Man City 12/1 to win Champions League City have since spent over £200 million in the transfer window and offloaded many players who were deemed as surplus to requirements. Jenas believes that City are favourites but that they must win something with the quality that they have got....
“There is no guarantees that anybody makes the World Cup but we have got to a point that it is expected,” Gulati told Goal at the Under-17 World Cup final. “It is good that expectations have risen, but we will look at all those things now and plan to make sure we are in Qatar.” After playing in every World Cup since 1986, the U.S. failed to qualify for next summer’s tournament in Russia....
Perkins Guns and Ammo owner Lance Perkins is believed to have put the sign up on November 14. The controversial sign posted in front of the store read “Gun Deals, All You People, Come On In, White Friday Sale.” Perkins insists that he has “done nothing wrong,” and claims the sign was intended as a tribute to controversial former hockey commentator Don Cherry. The last line of the sign originally read “Love You, Don,” before the store owner added the “White Friday” line....
The shooting marks the second time gun violence has affected a television set this week after a crew member of Law & Order: Organized Crime was killed Tuesday in New York City. Deadline said the cast and crew of FX’s Justified: City Primeval took cover during the incident and no one was injured, but shell casings were reportedly found on the set, located near Douglass Park, afterwards. No other information about the incident was immediately available....
There’s $16.5 million in cash on the table in California, Yankees tickets in New York and college tuition in Ohio. Alabamians can win two laps around the Talladega Superspeedway, and there are 50,000 Six Flags tickets for offer in Illinois. Welcome to states’ efforts to persuade millions of Americans to get the COVID vaccine, a cross between Mega Millions and a mass inoculation campaign — but one that is raising questions over whether it is genuinely increasing uptake of the injections....
Most fans famously bristle when broadcasters pronounce the “Jordan” in Jordan-Hare Stadium, half-named in honor of legendary Tigers coach Shug Jordan, like you would, say, Michael Jordan’s name. As media guides in the 1950s pointed out, it’s technically pronounced “JUR-dun."

In the video, Stefani is surrounded by young, Black backup dancers, as she sings the boisterous, feel-good lyrics. The scenes alternate between a locker room and a gymnasium, where the dancers jump rope and basketball players practice. Throughout, Stefani wears large hoop earrings, long golden nails and brightly colored gym wear. Her hip hop–inspired look, and the visual presentation of her amid people of color, led to her being accused of cultural appropriation on social media....
The 31-year-old arrived at the Stadium of Light as a record-signing from Stade Rennes, following a wonderful performance in the 2010 Fifa World Cup and although he scored 10 league goals in his maiden campaign as the Black Cats finished within the top-half on the log, he made an unexpected loan move to Al Ain in the Arabian Gulf League. Gyan later made the move permanent and would go on to play for Shanghai SIPG in China four years later....
William Jefferson Clinton was home, and he was free, and yet he was burdened as never before. At 50, young by the standards of national leadership, he had become the first Democrat since Franklin Roosevelt to win two terms. He came agonizingly close to a goal that had obsessed him for four years: winning a majority of the popular vote. He was full of joy, exhaustion-and, perhaps, a trace of fear....
Doesn’t it seem a little early to start reliving the ’80s? Well, they’re back. Levine’s book is only one of several that promise to resurrect those booming, scandal-ridden days on Wall Street. Two others, one by a Wall Street Journal editor and another by two Washington Post staffers, recount the insider-trading network and how prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission moved to uncover it. But the sight of Levine, granting interviews in his $1 million Park Avenue apartment and wearing expensive suits, raised the question of whether the punishments for Levine, junk-bond king Michael Milken, speculator Ivan Boesky and others were severe enough....
Juan Morrow, who is listed as founder and chairman of Upside Media Group, claimed to be a “certified player agent” who represents Hairston. But Morrow is not registered with the aforementioned states as a sole proprietor. There also is “no record of a Juan Morrow in (the NBPA’s) files, nor is there record of an applicant by that name,” Robert Gadson, NBPA Director of Player Security and Agent Administration, told Sporting News....

Garcia, 34, simply decided to change his Instagram profile to “Retired World Champ 126, 130, 135, 140 lbs.” Robert Garcia, Mikey’s brother and trainer, would confirm with ESPN that his brother retired. The Ring spoke with a representative from Matchroom Boxing who seemingly confirmed the accuracy of the status. “My brother Mikey had a great boxing career,” Robert told ESPN. ”Becoming a five-time champion of the world in four divisions is something very few have done....
As part of a segment on his show “Why? with Hannibal Buress,” the comedian asked a young boy to pick his favorite basketball player. Buress not only convinced the kid to choose Dunleavy, but also was able to get him to say Dunleavy is better than Michael Jordan.

During the Monday night edition of his show Hannity, the Fox News host said that “civilized countries” should agree on Putin’s removal while saying that members of the Russian military should attempt to end his reign.
