When inquired about masks in schools, Faulconer said that the vaccine is the best way to bring the COVID-19 pandemic to an end, the Associated Press reported. The gubernatorial hopeful said that he’s against schools requiring masks, but wouldn’t indicate whether he would ban them from doing so if elected governor. In contrast, businessman John Cox, another candidate, negated recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by claiming that those previously infected with the virus should not get vaccinated....

The most important rule was that if Garnett felt the need to cuss, he needed to hit the “cuss button.” This isn’t some imaginary thing, there is an actual in-studio button that he’s supposed to hit when he feels a curse coming on.

Over the course of the future Hall of Famer’s two decades in the NBA, he did just about everything physically and mentally to have an advantage over his opponents. Don’t believe it? Just listen to Clippers guard J.J. Redick.

The two NASCAR stars eventually went their separate ways, Harvick to Stewart-Haas Racing, where he won the 2014 Sprint Cup championship. And Burton to NBC Sports, where he is one of the lead analysts for NBC’s NASCAR coverage.

No, not LeBron James.

The Jets attempted to hide TJ Graham in the other side of the end zone, and when the Bills swarmed on Harvin, he would throw it to Graham.

The individual player props offered by the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook will be tricky this week, primarily because we’re dealing with the Patriots, but also because the Jets have been so bad this season (not to mention weather). The Patriots are 9.5-point favorites as of Thursday morning, so the matchup isn’t expected to be particularly competitive. Do the Pats lay off the gas once they have the game in hand, or does Bill Belichick run up the score a little bit on his rival?...

The retailer has said that it expects all of its pharmacies to have the COVID vaccine but supplies of the doses will remain limited during the initial roll out. Eligibility is based on the guidelines released by each individual state’s public health department. Jewel Osco—which is a subsidiary of grocery company Albertsons—has 183 stores in Illinois, four in Indiana and one in Iowa, its website says. It is working under the Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Program, announced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on February 2, 2021 with the aim of distributing vaccines via stores including Walmart, Walgreens, Publix and CVS....

The incident occurred as the congregation was preparing to to light the menorah for the third night of Hanukkah at the University of Kentucky’s Jewish Student Center, Chabad of the Bluegrass said on Facebook. “A car pulled up, nearly hitting the volunteer camera crew and the driver began yelling abusive language,” the post said. WKYT reported the driver was using anti-Semitic slurs. “A community member who was assisting in the lighting heroically stepped between the assailant and the Chabad house as several children were in the front room....

Former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) deputy director Andrew McCabe was asked on CNN Friday about how much Jordan’s examination could affect the DOJ’s own probe. “Well, I think that DOJ will likely—I certainly would advise them, if they were willing to listen to my advice, I would advise them to take a very hard line against that,” he told CNN host Anderson Cooper. “There is a clear precedent here of not sharing information, from an ongoing criminal investigation, with Congress....

Laurence Tribe, professor emeritus of constitutional law at Harvard University, was reacting to the claims made by The New York Times that House Republicans plan to set up a new special subcommittee to probe what they call the “weaponization” of the federal government by the Biden administration. Jordan, who is expected to become chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is set to oversee the panel. While details of the committee’s potential work are still unconfirmed, The New York Times reported that Jordan will push to subpoena the Justice Department over its open criminal investigations into Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election results and allegations Trump mishandled classified documents recovered from Mar-a-Lago, the attempted to obstruct the federal attempt to retrieve them....

We agree with Jordan that Section 230 reform is a must, and he is one of our most outspoken congressional allies in the fight against Big Tech censorship. His credibility on the issue is impossible to deny. But unfortunately, Jordan’s proposed Section 230 legislation, the Protect Speech Act, will not do much to protect free speech online—and may actually codify Big Tech’s censorial regime into law. Republicans should embrace a simple litmus test in deciding whether to support a particular Section 230 reform bill: Will the reform require, or at least strongly incentivize, Facebook and Twitter to un-ban President Donald Trump?...

Jimenez, 26, is reportedly a target for the two English clubs after helping Benfica to two Primeira Liga titles in as many seasons. ‘Salah must be the start for Liverpool’ The Mexico international, who spent a season at Atletico Madrid before heading to Portugal, would seemingly consider a move to the Premier League. “The Premier League is a great championship, but you have to wait,” Jimenez told ESPN after being sent off in his nation’s third-place play-off loss to Portugal at the Confederations Cup on Sunday....

Somebody will. In June, Hendrix will go to court to try to win back the rights to his son’s legacy – a legacy said to be worth about $100 million. It will be an uphill battle. And, even if Hendrix prevails, the war will not be over.

On “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” the host sends out random thank-you notes. One of them went to the Browns. At the four-minute mark of the accompanying video, Fallon talks about the Browns’ decision to “change their logo” without actually changing their logo. Something only the Browns could accomplish. “Thank you, Cleveland Browns, for debuting a logo this week that’s virtually identical to your old logo,” Fallon said. “But more importantly, still not brown....

But what may seem dangerous for Quayle’s long-term political prospects is also a crucial short-term insurance policy. The president isn’t getting pressure form the Republican wanna-bes to dump Quayle. Their reasoning is classically simple deviousness. If Bush decides to switch now, they think, he might pick a more politically potent running mate, who would then have a head start toward the 1996 nomination. None of the rivals–with the possible exception of Baker, Bush’s buddy–could be sure that the president would tap him....
