The Alabama Crimson Tide edged Florida, 31-29, and they once again lead the Newsweek Top 20. Florida trailed by 18 points after the first quarter, and they fought back with a stifling defense and an offense that finally found some rhythm. The Gators missed an extra-point kick in the second half that eventually forced them to go for two points to tie the game. Alabama stuffed a running play to seal the win....
When you look at the larger picture, it is clear that Ocasio-Cortez is eager and determined to undermine and destroy America as we have known it. When your goals are that radical, lying is simply part of the game. When you despise American values and find the American people “deplorable” and contemptible, lying is perfectly natural. The tragedy of Ocasio-Cortez’s type of vicious, deliberately dishonest politics is it sets the stage for innocent people to die....
America’s air war in Afghanistan is producing a political reality that Washington needs to confront: a power vacuum. The Taliban’s hold on the country is being eroded. Its rivals are increasingly emboldened. But none of them could (or should) run all of Afghanistan. Some transitional governing authority for Afghanistan has to be patched together–and fast. President Bush has wisely shifted his position on nation-building. He says he is now in favor of “the stabilization of a future government after our military mission is complete....
In their decision last summer, in the absence of creating a nationwide framework for what NIL deals were and were not allowed, the NCAA effectively told schools to follow school policy if one existed or state laws in the 28 states where NIL regulation laws exist, according to CBS Sports. The only NCAA rules in place before the decision that apply to NIL deals state that athletes can’t be paid by the school directly or school employees, and that they can’t be paid simply for being athletes, they have to do something for the deal to be valid, CBS Sports reported....
The Real Madrid superstar won the Best FIFA Men’s Player, for the second consecutive year. Ronaldo was officially presented with the award on Monday at the Best FIFA Football Awards 2017 gala in London.

Sidelined since February after undergoing foot surgery, Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar is on the road to recovery with Brazil gearing up for next month’s showpiece tournament in Russia. Fernandinho suffered a similar injury to Neymar previously and the Manchester City midfielder said the 26-year-old is on track for the World Cup, where Brazil will face Switzerland, Costa Rica and Serbia in Group E. “This kind of injury Neymar had is a little bit difficult, I can tell because I had it too,” Fernandinho said....
Warren had 22 by halftime and shot 14-for-23 for the Wolfpack (19-12, 9-9 Atlantic Coast Conference), who blew a 14-point second-half lead before pushing ahead in the final 6 minutes. It marked the third time in four games that the ACC's leading scorer had scored at least 36 points, including his previous career-high of 41 in his last outing at Pittsburgh last week. Still, he had to outduel Boston College's Olivier Hanlan to level the Wolfpack's league record heading into this week's ACC tournament in Greensboro....
During Trump’s latest White House press conference, the president called on governors to “establish an overwhelming law enforcement presence” as means to control violent protests that have taken place across the country since Minneapolis resident George Floyd was killed in police custody on May 25. In a statement issued after Trump delivered the remarks, James said her office would push back against the federal order in court if necessary....
Nabisco is a subsidiary of Mondelez International Inc and produces American favorites such as Oreo cookies, Ritz crackers, Chips Ahoy! and other snacks. Supporters of the strike have been photographing these items in stores to claim that consumers are backing their stance by boycotting the company’s products. Worker rights activist Brett Banditelli, who is based in Los Angeles County, tweeted a photograph of packed shelves full of Nabisco products on September 14....
The president signed the executive order on Wednesday, with the measure set to last for 60 days, with the possibility of being extended. While the order includes a number of exemptions, including for workers coming to the U.S. on temporary visas, Trump said the measure was aimed at protecting American jobs as the U.S. economy reels from the impacts of the pandemic. Democrats and immigration advocates, however, have accused the president of making the policy move as a desperate bid to divert attention away from his handling of the coronavirus outbreak and to further his administration’s immigration agenda at a time of national crisis....
Movie buffs have noticed some similarities between a bizarre news story this week and the plot to the 2008 Coen brothers comedy Burn After Reading after it was reported that the FBI is investigating evidence that a woman stole Nancy Pelosi’s laptop and was planning on selling it to Russian intelligence. According to a report by Politico, the FBI is investigating a claim that a woman who was part of the mob that attacked the U....
The Squad is comprised of the high-profile and dogged left-wing campaigners elected to the House in last year’s midterms: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib. All have clashed with Pelosi—herself a fierce campaigner but who is focused ruthlessly on the practicalities of delivering legislative change in Congress even if it means compromising on ideals—about policy, messaging, and, perhaps most importantly of all, party discipline. Pelosi warned House Democrats at a meeting on Wednesday “do not tweet about our members and expect us to think that that is just OK,” POLITICO reported, and instead go to her with any complaints....

Earlier this year, NASA asked the public to submit their names, which would then be sent to the Microdevices Laboratory at the space agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. There, scientists will use a beam of electrons to etch the names onto silicon chips in lines of text smaller than one-thousandth the width of a human hair. These chips will be then be attached to the rover before it is sent to Mars....
In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press on Friday, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson walked back comments made by director general of Roscosmos, Dimitry Rogozin. Newsweek previously reported that Rogozin said that the United States would be forced to use broomsticks to fly to space after its sanctions impacted the sale of rocket engines. “In this situation, we can no longer supply the U.S. with our rocket engines that are the best in the world,” said the Russian space chief at the time....
The only question late became whether the fuel tank would force him to pit. The answer? No. Larson led for most of the race and cruised to the first-place finish in the Ally 400, winning his third straight NASCAR Cup Series race — fourth, if the All-Star Race is included. He finished the afternoon race having led for 264 laps in the 300-lap event. “Can’t say enough about everybody at Hendrick Motorsports, HendrickCars....
Harvick has nine career wins at the one-mile track and finishes in the top 10 in 65.6 percent of his races there. He is undoubtedly the favorite to win.

He has finished in the top 4 in six of his last seven attempts there....
