MORE: 15 best coaches in NCAA Tourney | How would Vegas seed the tourney? During an appearance on Dan Dakich’s radio show, Boeheim declared that he would rather be punished than the team, which had nothing to do with the infractions.

It is a thing. Gene Smith, the athletic director for a Michigan rival of some import, has noticed it. Ohio State AD Gene Smith on holding spring practice in Florida: “If we were jump starting our program, I’d probably try to do that too.” Harbaugh’s response was inevitable, and it came with savagery. In fairness to Smith, the Buckeyes have won a national title since the 2011 sanctions that led to Jim Tressel’s resignation....

Harbaugh, when asked if Michigan — picked by media win the Big Ten — prefers to be the hunter or hunted, Harbaugh went straight to the top. “I think that’s where I would pick us,” Harbaugh said in Chicago on Friday. “I feel like our team is in a really good place. Young, enthusiastic team with players with a lot of good experience I feel good about our coaching staff....

Guest columnist Chuck Ardo, who previously served as press secretary to former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, wrote the op-ed for Cleveland’s The Plain Dealer. He strongly criticized Jordan, an Ohio Republican, for his continued loyalty to the former president and his refusal to comply with the House select committee investigating the pro-Trump January 6, 2021 attack against the U.S. Capitol. “U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, the see-no-evil, hear-no-evil former assistant wrestling coach, has once again chosen the dark side by failing to cooperate with the U....

On Thursday, GOP Representative Jim Jordan, who is expected to chair the House Judiciary Committee, received a letter from White House Counsel Richard Sauber informing him that he’d have to restart his oversight demands and that the Biden administration had no plans to respond to the onslaught of recent requests. “Congress has not delegated such [oversight] authority to individual members of Congress who are not committee chairmen, and the House has not done so under its current Rules,” Sauber wrote, according to a letter obtained by Politico....

Defensive back Jimmie Ward is the latest expected to sit out minicamp. According to a report from NFL Media, which cited unidentified league sources, Ward fractured his collarbone Thursday. While there is no timetable for his return, the report noted, the standard recovery time is anywhere from eight to 12 weeks. Ward, who is entering his sixth season in the NFL, sustained the injury while diving for a ball in OTAs....

Late-night host Jimmy Fallon delivered a sobering speech on his show in which he called the attack “terrorism” and pleaded for unity. “This is what happens when there’s no peaceful transition of power and what happens when there’s bad leadership,” Fallon said on Wednesday’s installment of The Tonight Show. “This is not how you lose.” “Today was not patriotism,” he said. “Today was terrorism.” He also said his grandfather, a veteran, would be “disgusted” if he were alive to see what has taken place in Washington, D....

Although Tom Brady is the one missing four games, the league was meaning to punish all of the Patriots with his suspension. Instead, all that Deflategate hating only added more power to The Dark Side. Remember how this was supposed to fuel the anger in Brady when he returned, to the point that when he returned, he would be an unstoppable vengeful force at quarterback? We all forget that Belichick is still the Emperor In New England....

Taking to Reddit, the candidate expressed their frustration at the fact that some recruiters go out of their way to avoid mentioning the salary range for the job they’re hiring for, even after being asked multiple times. In the post, the candidate, who goes by the username Reddrick, shares screenshots detailing their conversation with the recruiter, with a caption that says: “I’m tired of recruiters avoiding my questions and playing dumb....

The decision comes as the president has faced criticism for rising prices amid record levels of inflation and what the Department of Energy (DOE) acknowledged as the highest oil prices in seven years. There had been speculation in October that the Biden administration could tap the reserve after Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm told The Financial Times’ energy transition summit that they had not ruled out the possibility. The DOE issued a statement on Tuesday saying the president had directed Granholm to release 50 million barrels of crude oil from the SPR....

In an op-ed in The New York Times on Saturday, Gore criticized Trump’s decision to withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, accused the outgoing president of overseeing “colossal failure” during the coronavirus pandemic, and said that “bitter divisions were exposed and weaponized” in recent years. Gore struck a more optimistic note on the future for climate change and the U.S. under Biden, despite what he called “monumental” challenges ahead....

The three-hour talks via video link began with the two leaders issuing respective opening remarks as Biden said Washington and Beijing needed to “ensure that the competition between our countries does not veer into conflict, whether intended or unintended.” The president called for the establishment of “common-sense guardrails” to maintain what he termed “straightforward competition.” Xi said the two countries needed to “increase communication and cooperation,” adding: “Humanity lives in a global village, and we face multiple challenges together....

A coalition of Republican and Democratic senators, including Susan Collins of Maine and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, unveiled the proposed bill on Tuesday as a middle-of-the-road compromise to address the economic fallout of the pandemic that has left Americans struggling to pay for basic necessities. Biden backed the measure this afternoon, shortly after Democratic leaders indicated their willingness to take the deal in an effort to deliver quick relief....

“Right now we have to act and act fast,” Biden said at the White House during a meeting with governors from western states on Wednesday. “We’re late in the game here.” Biden is pitching a trillion-dollar infrastructure package—scaled back from his initial $2 trillion proposal—pulling out some parts that aren’t viewed as traditional infrastructure efforts. Progressive Democrats have been pushing for money to address the climate crisis to be increased....

The government may run out of money by midnight on Thursday, forcing a shutdown and the furlough of hundreds of thousands of federal employees until a funding deal is reached. It would be the first government shutdown of President Joe Biden’s term and the earliest shutdown in any administration since shutdowns became a part of the funding process in 1980. Biden had been in office eight months as of September 20, meaning a government shutdown would come at an extremely early stage in his administration....

In a statement released on Friday, Biden said the alleged sexual assault former Senate staffer Tara Reade has accused him of carrying out in 1993 “never happened.” “I recognize my responsibility to be a voice, an advocate, and a leader for the change in culture that has begun but is nowhere near finished,” Biden said in a statement released by his campaign team. “So I want to address allegations by a former staffer that I engaged in misconduct 27 years ago....

Some Democrats favor expanding the number of seats in the court to restore what many Americans say is a loss of legitimacy. Although the court currently has a conservative majority of 6-3, President Joe Biden has said that he doesn’t support the expansion of the number of judges. There’s no legal requirement for the Supreme Court to be composed of nine justices and the size of the institution isn’t specified in the U....

The president will fulfill the promise he made on the campaign trail when he signs an executive order on Friday establishing the commission, which will be chaired by former White House counsel Bob Bauer and Cristina Rodriguez, a Yale law school professor and former deputy assistant attorney general. The commission will also include a bipartisan group of legal experts, former government officials and reform advocates, according to the White House....

In late December 2021, during a segment on Tucker Carlson Tonight, FOX News titled its report on migration at the border as “Biden’s open-border policy is reckless and dangerous.” And in November, the House GOP published an article titled Biden’s Open Border Policies Have Deadly Consequences. While usage of the phrase “open border” has become more popular, with both Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Texas Senator Ted Cruz invoking the term when offering critiques of the administration, those who study the situation say their usage of the term is incorrect....

A 35 second clip of the eulogy was viewed by nearly half a million times in the six hours after it was shared by the Twitter account of Students for Trump. Biden, who has faced criticism in the past over comments he made about working with segregationists, gave the eulogy for Byrd at his funeral in 2010. “Bishop, Reverend Clergy, Mona and Marjorie, the entire Byrd family—if you didn’t already know it, it’s pretty clear the incredible esteem your father was held in,” Biden said in his opening remarks....
