Morrison revealed that he reformed the alliance with The A-Lister and showed up on SmackDown rather than making a grand appearance at the upcoming Royal Rumble pay-per-view. He wanted to be in his friend’s corner following the developments between Bray Wyatt and The Miz and also gave it back to the WWE Universe for going against the former WWE Champion. SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day had heard too much and they interrupted The Miz TV segment leading to a match between The A-Lister and Kofi Kingston....

Take what happened last week, when AT&T introduced its new president, John Walter. AT&T stock lost more than $5 billion of market value in two days. How come? Mainly because Walter isn’t a techno-wizard. Until his ascension to the top of AT&T, he was chairman of a Chicago printing company, R.R. Donnelley and Sons, whose closest connection to the phone biz is producing the Yellow Pages. This reaction, in my humble opinion, is every bit as silly as the giddiness of September 1995....

Speaking in downtown Los Angeles, Biden framed himself as the only Democratic 2020 candidate who has passed significant gun law reform and demanded action to rid schools of gun violence. “You parents and grandparents, you send off children—6, 7, 8, 9, 10 years old—and the first thing they learn is how to duck and cover,” Biden said, according to the Los Angeles Times. “We’re now making sure that we provide children the ability to avoid being shot in school,” he continued....

The Democrat became the 46th president of the United States on Wednesday, replacing Donald Trump in the White House. YouGov asked 5,575 U.S. adults on Thursday: “On January 20, the leadership of the United States formally transitioned from Donald Trump to Joe Biden. Putting aside your political affiliation, how does the inauguration make you feel?” “Hopeful” was the most commonly chosen response, with 43 percent picking this description. Broken down by party affiliation, 14 percent of Republicans—roughly one in seven—said the inauguration made them hopeful....

The Democratic president initially set a goal of 100 million doses to be administered in the first 100 days of his tenure. He upped that to 200 million—and hit that target on his 92nd day in the White House. After that, talk turned to a benchmark of 70 percent of the United States’ adult population receiving at least one vaccine dose by July 4—a goal which has been missed. According to Centers for Disease Control Figures, 67 percent of adults across the country have had at least one dose....

Price said North Korean cyber activities pose a significant threat to the U.S. and its allies, and said the administration was “carefully evaluating and looking at” the problem. The Justice Department announced charges against Park Jin Hyok, Jon Chang Hyok and Kim Il on Wednesday, accusing the three men of trying to steal $1.3 billion in cryptocurrencies and traditional currencies from banks and other victims. Park had already been charged in 2018 for his alleged involvement in the hacking of Sony pictures in 2014, the WannaCry ransomware, and the theft of $81m from Bangladesh’s central bank in 2016....

Speaking at an event celebrating the 31st anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Biden at one point asked artist Tyree Brown: “Where’s Mom?” He also used the wrong name for Representative Jim Langevin, a Democrat representing Rhode Island’s 2nd congressional district and the first quadriplegic person to serve in the U.S. Congress. While welcoming attendees by name, Biden only said the first part of Langevin’s surname and then misidentified his first name....

A Hill-HarrisX poll conducted from November 16 to 18 showed that Biden’s approval rating now stands at 44 percent - up two percent since the last Hill-HarrisX poll in October. However, the president scored relatively poorly on issues including immigration, the economy and foreign policy but his strongest issue was his handling of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While 45 percent of respondents said they disapproved of Biden, 11 percent said they neither approved nor disapproved....

On Monday, Biden’s lawyers confirmed that around 10 documents were found at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington D.C. on November 2, just days before the midterm elections. Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president, said in a statement to CBS News, which first reported on the discovery, that none of the materials were being sought by the National Archives and that Biden’s legal team were co-operating with the Archives and the Department of Justice process to ensure that any “Obama-Biden Administration records are appropriately in the possession of the Archives....

The latest survey by Reuters and Ipsos found that Biden led Trump by six points among registered voters, with 45 percent backing the challenger and 39 percent favoring the incumbent. The former vice president also had a four-point lead among Independent voters. A third of the group (33 percent) said they would back Biden, while 29 percent said the same of Trump. When the same poll was published last week, the presumptive Democratic nominee had a nine-point lead on the president, with 47 percent of polled voters saying they would back Biden as only 38 percent opted for Trump....

The president shared more than 40 posts in the space of two hours, with a mixture of tweets and retweets, touching upon topics such a stimulus and dismissing allegations of Russian collusion with his 2016 campaign. Following the raft of posts from Trump, Biden took to the platform to send a GIF of himself saying “get off Twitter,” along with the message: “Please.” It appears to mark a continued dismissive tone towards Trump from Biden, with the Democrat having told him to “shut up” during last week’s election debate....

Biden said that under the President’s tax policies, economic stewardship and erratic leadership, the middle class people of Pennsylvania have suffered. He pointed out that the rising cost of health care and college and housing have cut out the economic “breathing room” that once defined life in the middle class. “This administration has no idea what hard-working, decent, ordinary Americans are going through,” Biden said during his speech, lamenting the struggles of middle class workers to make ends meet in the current economical atmosphere....

Dean, who died on Sunday in Baton Rouge, is one of three LSU players who've been inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. The others are Bob Pettit and Pete Maravich. He was the athletic director at LSU for 14 years, beginning in 1987. During that period he oversaw $50 million in facility improvements, and LSU teams won 27 national championships, along with 40 Southeastern Conference titles. Dean also worked as a marketing executive with Converse and as an analyst on college basketball broadcasts, during which he became known for using the phrase "string music" to describe the sound of a basketball swishing through the net....

This isn’t the first time fans are hearing rumors that the zoo is haunted. Apparently, the it was built on a Native American burial ground—because of course it was. Jeff Lowe, who was the last owner of the zoo before the location was shut down, explained the alleged situation to TMZ in June. In addition to hauntings that may come with the land, Travel Channel explained some of the park’s employees think the spirit of Travis Maldonado, one of Exotic’s husbands, is still on the property....

And yet, that’s exactly what happened on Monday night, when the New York Jets back-up quarterback surpassed the Hall of Famer’s tally of 40,551 career passing yards to move into the top-20 for the most passing yards in NFL history. Flacco’s 50-yard completion to Breshad Perriman in the first quarter of the Jets’ 30-27 loss against the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football catapulted him past Montana, a remarkable achievement for a player who has divided opinions throughout his 13 seasons in the league....

The 20-year-old has enjoyed a solid campaign for the Reds, playing 23 times in the Premier League after recovering from a serious knee problem and Achilles tendonitis. Gomez’s versatility has made him particularly useful to Klopp, who has used the defender at centre-back and right-back this term. But he has not travelled to Rome as Liverpool look to hold on to their 5-2 first-leg lead, with a knock suffered early on against Stoke City on Saturday ruling him out....

The two-time Pro Bowl cornerback isn’t the player he once was, which is why Cleveland parted ways with him. The Browns were unable to find a trade partner, likely because of Haden’s contract which was overpriced considering his talent level has dropped.

An apparent shoulder injury in Wednesday’s game against the Anaheim Ducks will prevent Jumbo Joe from playing against the St. Louis Blues. Faceoff in San Jose is scheduled for 10:35 p.m. ET. Also Saturday, the Blues activated forward Jaden Schwartz, who had missed their past seven games with a bum foot. Thornton wasn’t on the ice for Saturday’s pregame skate, Sharks beat writer David Pollak reported. Coach Todd McLellan rearranged his lines to adjust for the absence of his veteran playmaker....

The Philadelphia 76ers had initially feared the worst after the Cameroonian was injured in a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night, after colliding with Ante Zizic. Embiid sat out his team’s 115-106 home win on Thursday night against the New York Knicks, but Sixers coach Brett Brown confirmed the injury wasn’t as serious as feared as X-rays on the shoulder showed no sign of fracture. “The fact that there is no structural damage we all hear loudly,” Brown said in his press conference on Thursday, following the win over the Knicks....
