Alabama and Georgia hold the top two spots in the first rankings, and that’s going to lead to the ridiculous notion that SEC bias exists. We don’t think it does, but we don’t think the SEC should be puffing out its chest either. We’ll explain why in this week’s Angry Bender. ANGRY BENDER: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 Did you bring your Paul Finebaum voodoo doll?...
In a video shared to TikTok on October 14, an orange tabby called Lily can be seen glaring at her owner’s friend, who had the “audacity” to sit on the sofa. Since being posted, the hilarious clip has received almost 3 million views and nearly 328,000 likes, with fellow cat owners finding the footage highly relatable. Do Cats Hate People? They may have a reputation for being aloof, but studies show that cats really do love their owners....
Of course, in the world of corporate silliness Dilbert inhabits, characters are far more likely to flaunt their idiocy than any body part, and are aggressive mostly in their incompetence. Which is just how the more than 150 million daily readers who’ve made ““Dilbert’’ the fastest-growing syndicated comic strip like it. In bringing the travails of his lovable techno-nerd to UPN, Adams, along with ““Seinfeld’’ and ““Mad About You’’ alumnus Larry Charles, who serves as the show’s executive producer, enjoys the blessing of a built-in audience–as well as the curse of trying to live up to the beloved original....
Earlier this month, Mad Dog PAC, a pro-Democrat group, was behind a digital sign claiming the GOP lawmaker “wants to ‘date’ your child.” The Department of Justice is investigating Gaetz over accusations of sex trafficking and sex with a minor. He denies all the allegations and has not been charged. Mad Dog PAC founder Claude Taylor described as “absolutely extraordinary” the reaction to the first billboard on State Road 85, Crestview....
Before resigning Monday, Kaidanow served as a senior advisor on defense trade, becoming the first person to lead the Pentagon’s international cooperation program. She joined the department in September 2018 after a long career with the U.S. State Department. From 2008 to 2009, Kaidanow served as the first U.S. Ambassador to Kosovo. A statement that the DoD supplied to The Hill declined to provide further information about the resignation, except that the department “remains committed” to their international cooperation while they wish her “continued success....
Robert Zemeckis (“Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” “Back to the Future,” “Forrest Gump”) has always been on the cutting edge of new movie technologies. Here he lays 3-D on top of the motion-capture technique he explored in “The Polar Express.” (Perhaps the most famous, and successful, example of motion capture is the computer-generated character Gollum in “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, enacted by Andy Serkis.) Here Crispin Glover gets to play Grendel, a grotesque, misshapen giant whose skinless body resembles a nightmare version of a peeled anatomy in “The Body” exhibit....
It’s a storybook ending for Davis and the start of something special in Los Angeles considering the 27-year-old is just now entering his prime. Of course, none of it would have been possible without Davis and his agent, Rich Paul, blowing up the Pelicans’ 2018-19 campaign with a midseason trade request.

The six-time All-Star forward once again teased Bulls fans with the idea of playing in his hometown of Chicago during an event held Monday for the boys and girls basketball teams at Perspectives Charter School, Davis’ alma mater. One of the young athletes in attendance asked if Davis would consider joining the Bulls, and well, Davis didn’t say no. NBA MOCK DRAFT 2020: Knicks pick star guard at No. 1...
Former undisputed world champion Tyson, now 53, is reportedly ready to fight again in exhibition and charity bouts. And UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz and Joshua’s heavyweight rival Tyson Fury both claim to have been offered bouts against “Iron Mike.” But Joshua, who reclaimed his IBF, WBA and WBO belts against Andy Ruiz Jr in December, is not interested in facing a legend of the sport.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has previously said the company would do more to address the issue of false information on the platform but some conspiracy videos have remained on the site for years. A newly published report from the Simon Wiesenthal Center highlighted the problem of Anti-Semitic 9/11 videos and pointed out that in some cases the videos have been viewed tens of thousands of times. That report, “September 11 Conspiracies: 20 Years Later,” draws attention to one Facebook video posted by the “Anti Illuminati Alliance” which falsely claims that no planes were used in the attacks....
Monday, January 27, is 75 years after the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp, an event marked by International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Friedrich Kellner was an evangelical Lutheran who served in the army of Kaiser Wilhelm II in WWI as an infantry sergeant. A patriotic German, his conscience was pricked and his stomach turned when he first read Adolf Hitler’s autobiography Mein Kampf—“My Struggle,” in English—when it was published in 1925....
Fairbrass, 67, who is best known for the pop group’s 1991 hit song, I’m Too Sexy, was taken to a hospital in Berkshire, southern England, by ambulance last weekend after he reported struggling to be able to breathe. The singer spent four nights in the hospital under observation before he was released from the medical center to recover from the virus at his home in Windsor, situated in Berkshire....
“The trigger was someone telling me that I’m not allowed to feel pain,” Brown explained in January. “I acknowledge my past. But my past does not make me a second-class citizen. My past does not forfeit my right to be heard when I am in pain.” It appears the drama is continuing, even after Brown and Arians are both out of the league. Arians raised some eyebrows Sunday in a brawl between the Buccaneers and Saints the former Tampa Bay coach was on the sideline for....
The receiver has reenrolled at Central Michigan University in the wake of his release from the Patriots on Friday. Brown posted a photo of his four-class schedule — which is entirely online — to his Instagram story on Monday with the caption “Back to school.” An unnamed source confirmed Brown’s enrollment to MLive.com, but a school spokesperson had not returned messages seeking comment. The 31-year-old attended Central Michigan from 2007-09 before declaring for the 2010 NFL Draft....
Brown, previously a superstar wide receiver with the Pittsburgh Steelers for several years and currently a free agent, shared the meme to his Twitter account while signing it “Sincerely AB” on Thursday, initially sparking a wave of confusion and concern among NFL fans. While the meme purports to feature a bizarre and absurdly vain quote from the 34-year-old receiver “on his biggest regret,” it was created by the sports satire site The Sports Memery before being shared by Brown....
On Sunday, Brown caught 10 catches for 139 yards and scored two touchdowns, one of which came on a 56-yard catch and run to put the Steelers up 30-9 on the Browns.

“It’s not fake. It’s fixed.” Why did this description of WWE-style wrestling make me think immediately of NFL football? Because of Antonio Brown, of course. Behaving like an immature fool appears to come naturally to Brown, but that doesn’t mean his performance in trying to coerce the Steelers to trade him is not scripted. It is contrived in the pro wrestling manner, in which the action is designed but the intricacies of movement both demand and allow a fair amount of improvisation....
After Jose Mourinho’s reign quickly went stale, and Nuno Espirito Santo’s time at the club never truly took off, the Italian was expected to bring a sense of structure and direction to a club that seemingly lost its way. With an impressive honors list, including last season’s scudetto with Inter Milan, and a driven personality, Conte seemed the obvious choice to get things back on track at the north London club....
Moderate Democrats wrote a letter addressed to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, urging her to swiftly bring the bipartisan roughly $1 trillion infrastructure deal, which is nearing passage in the Senate, for a vote in the House, CNN reported on Saturday evening. They also raised concerns about the cost of the larger $3.5 trillion proposal that Democrats hope to pass through the budget reconciliation process without the need for any Republican votes....
Greene, a Georgia Republican, tweeted on Friday that Ocasio-Cortez had “launched an insurrection” by calling for abortion-rights supporters to protest the Supreme Court striking down the landmark 1973 ruling, adding that “any violence and rioting is a direct result of Democrat marching orders.” The New York Democrat soon hit back, suggesting that Greene was guilty of attempting to “overturn democracy” and alluded to recent claims that she had attempted to secure a pardon from former President Donald Trump following the January 6 Capitol riot....
