“I stand by what the jury has concluded. The jury system works. We have to abide by it,” Biden told reporters. He added that he didn’t watch the high-profile trial. Later, in a lengthier statement released by the White House, Biden said he remained committed to his 2020 campaign promise to “bring Americans together.” “While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken,” he said....

The size of his hands? Nine inches. After stories were written and social media posts shared, the former LSU quarterback had a little fun of his own through Twitter. “Considering retirement after I was informed the football will be slipping out of my tiny hands.

It appears all was not in harmony between them, though, as they politely jostled for position without making the contact often necessary to get past a car on this paperclip track. So in the end, they watched as Brad Keselowski slipped by and took second, leaving the Gibbs teammates finishing third, fourth and fifth. Matt Kenseth couldn’t cleanly get past Denny Hamlin while Kyle Busch couldn’t move around Kenseth. So they rode along, unable to make a move on Johnson as he pulled away....

Three of them got there in an unconventional manner. How? By making the decision to run at the back of the field, out of the main pack, throughout Sunday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway. It’s certainly not a new strategy at this restrictor-plate track, but it is one that has drawn a lot of scrutiny throughout the NASCAR community. MORE: Joey Logano wins at Talladega, four Chasers eliminated Entering the race, Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards were second through fourth, respectively, in the Chase standings....

“Enough is enough,” Maddon said. “This is the major leagues. There’s a level of accountability here also. I don’t wanna use the word ‘irresponsible’ loosely, but in that situation, you pretty much knew it was gonna happen again. And I’m not accusing the guy of doing anything on purpose; I’m just saying he doesn’t command his fastball enough in order to know where it’s going.” Maddon is upset because this is now the third time in the same week Anderson has had a fastball go near Trout’s head....

A central part of President Joe Biden’s climate change agenda will reportedly be removed from the bill because of Manchin’s opposition, according to a report from The New York Times citing congressional staffers and lobbyists.

The legendary quarterback revealed in his new book, “All the Way: My Life in Four Quarters,” that he used his divorce from his wife, Deborah, as an excuse to become consumed by alcohol. “Health-wise, I’d probably be dead by now if I hadn’t stopped drinking,” the former Jet wrote (via WFAN). “The drinking was what would kick my butt for a long time. I believe any of us can be brought to our knees whether from physical or emotional pain....

Some users joked about Rogan’s apparent habit of interrupting guests on the show. Others praised the comedian and commentator for hosting a pragmatic discussion. A few seemed rather stunned by Sanders’ decision to appear on the show at all, which boasts nearly 6 million subscribers on YouTube but could be considered an unexpected choice for leading presidential candidates like Sanders. This is the second time that Sanders—the fist-shaking leftist who has made an enemy of Wall Street and captivated America’s youth—is running in the Democratic presidential primaries....

He may not mind, and WWE doesn’t seem to mind either. After all, WWE always claimed that any reaction was better than no reaction and Cena seemed perfectly happy to go along with that. Perhaps wrestling fans read too much into it. Or perhaps the company doesn’t read enough into it. The heel/babyface dynamic has been around for nearly as long as the business of professional wrestling has. Good versus evil has been around much longer of course, and that’s at the heart of every pro-wrestling presentation....
