Ahh springtime in Baghdad - or is it campaign season in the United States? As political theater goes, McCain couldn’t have asked for much more. On a radio talk show last week, the Arizona senator said, “There are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through - today.” Later in the week, CNN reporter Michael Ware blasted the claim, “I don’t know what part of Neverland Senator McCain is talking about when he says we can go strolling in Baghdad....
From a Texas Monthly article on a group of Houston plastic surgeons, Stockwell created two composite docs and made them the pioneers and crass profiteers of the field. We meet Dr. Kevin Saunders (David Schwimmer) as a geeky Baylor med student practicing his suturing at home on an uncooked turkey. Taking a break from his weird gobblectomy, he peeps into the bedroom of a young female neighbor and watches her remove her falsies, then her bra and anoint her miniature mounds with ““breast enhancement” cream....
Mr. President, remember the scene in that movie you liked, “Moonstruck,” in which Cher slugs the very fine and decent but also dispirited Nicolas Cage and says, “Snap out of it!”? That is our text for today. You are George Herbert Walker Bush and you have been serving your country and keeping high its ideals since the day you were born. You went out to defend it with your life when you were an 18-year-old boy....
Arguably the greatest MMA fighter ever, Silva returns after a two-year layoff when he takes on rising star Israel Adesanya in the co-main event of Saturday’s UFC 234 in Melbourne, Australia. If Silva wins, then he gets one more shot to reclaim the title he put on the map, as he’ll take on the winner of the UFC 234 main event pitting middleweight champion Robert Whittaker against Kelvin Gastelum. A loss, though, should signify the end of Silva’s career....
According to CBS Sports, several general managers around the league believe Cincinnati could get a first-round pick in exchange for the veteran. There are a few caveats, though. “If they wanted to, and they did this right, they could be right there with the Dolphins and Raiders when it comes to 1, 2, and 3s in the next few drafts,” one GM said of a potential Bengals rebuild. The report notes the team interested in Green would need to be able to negotiate a new deal for him, and Green would need to return from his foot injury soon....
This isn’t a total shock given recent reports and rumblings around the AAF and majority investor Tom Dundon, but it’s a little surprising the league is potentially shutting down already. The AAF was heading into its ninth week out of 10, so it’s odd the league couldn’t find a way to finish out the season. But here we are. MORE: Who killed the AAF? His name is Tom Dundon...
A trial date is expected to be set at the status hearing because Hernandez already had been scheduled to stand trial beginning in late May for the shooting deaths of Safiro Furtado and Daniel de Abreu.

The former Patriots tight end gained national attention when he was convicted of murder, and he is on trial in a separate case for the double homicide of two men outside a Boston nightclub. Apparently famed attorney Jose Baez forgot, as he introduced himself “on behalf of Aaron Rodriguez.” PHOTOS: Scenes from the Hernandez investigation Not even close, bro. Not even close.

Heralded as a generational talent and signed by Bellator MMA long before he was ready to make the transition from wrestling to mixed martial arts, the promotion committed a ton of marketing muscle to the 22-year-old’s debut last summer. And fans and observers waited with baited breath to see what all the hype was about.

He’s feeling the opposite of love, in fact. Jennings during an NFL Network interview Tuesday was asked about the war of words that erupted in the summer of 2013, when the wide receiver had just signed with division-rival Minnesota after seven seasons in Green Bay. Jennings said that “was all out of frustration,” and the incident is “in the past.” 2016 PREVIEW: NFC predictions | Overrated teams | Underrated teams...
Before June, trading Rodgers would have forced the Packers to take a dead money hit of $38.356 million and also counted another $1.154 million against their salary cap. Now should Rodgers get dealt, that dead money would be spread between 2021 and 2022, with a hit of $21.152 million this year and another hit of $17.204 million next year. The big difference in a post June 1 trade comes in saving $16....
The first game of the new NFL season failed to live up to expectations, but the Packers emerged 10-3 winners as a Rodgers to Jimmy Graham pass accounted for the only touchdown. The Green Bay quarterback was relieved to come through with a victory that relied heavily on the team’s defense after a dismal start in which Rodgers went 2 of 5 for 5 yards in a first quarter in which the Packers had minus-12 yards in total offense....
Rodgers was largely complimentary of the second-year Cincinnati quarterback, who completed 26 of 38 passes for 281 yards and two touchdowns to two interceptions in the loss. But Rodgers did mention some sage advice he gave following Green Bay’s win: MORE: Mason Crosby, Packers win missed FG-fest on fourth try after Evan McPherson’s premature celebration “I’m a Joe Burrow fan,” Rodgers told McAfee. “I enjoy the way he goes about his business, I enjoy the way he plays with confidence....
On Thursday, Denver reportedly made the move to bring in Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett to make them the next head coach in Denver, following up a disappointing Vic Fangio tenure. Reports say that Hackett’s personality and insight with the Green Bay offense meant more to Denver than any potential Aaron Rodgers move to the AFC West, but the connection doesn’t hurt. Of course, any bread crumb connecting Rodgers to a new team in 2022 is as good as a feast....

All right. We all get old. Even baby boomers. But being a classic self-absorbed, quasi-messianic member of my generation, I cannot let the occasion pass without deep reflection. Actually, some deep reflection may be called for here. As our demographically grotesque horde drifts toward decrepitude, a significant political decision looms. Do we really want to support a group that is arguably the most powerful lobby in Washington and has become, over time, a narrow, encrusted and slightly cheesy bastion of anachronistic liberalism?...
The Felicity Ace cargo ship departed from Germany on February 10, and was scheduled to arrive at a U.S. port on February 23, according to MarineTraffic.com.

Huntsman joined the long-running program as a co-host in September 2018, and vacated her seat at the table in January 2020.
