Fox Sport’s Clay Travis initially reported on Saturday that former USC coach Steve Sarkisian would be announced as a special offensive assistant by the team on Tuesday. The Tuscaloosa News’ Aaron Suttles corroborated the report by saying Sarkisian was traveling to Tuscaloosa to discuss coming on as an offensive analyst.

Payne went into his Sunday workout in Indianapolis considered a mid-to-late first-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. He can expect to see his stock rise after a sizzling workout at Lucas Oil Stadium. The question about Payne, the latest inside run-stuffer to roll out of the Crimson Tide’s dominant front, is how consistently he can rush the passer in the NFL. We at least now know he can fly upfield given his blazing 40-yard dash for his size (6-2 1/2, 311 pounds)....

That’s the latest pressing question for the Crimson Tide, now that the moves have been officially announced. Only three assistant coaches remain from last year’s team, which finished 14-1 but lost 44-16 to Clemson in the College Football Playoff championship game. MORE: Saban faces challenges, but Bama dynasty not over yet Seven new assistant coaches are in, and that includes former analyst Steve Sarkisian, who briefly held the offensive coordinator position after the 2017 College Football Playoff loss to the Tigers....

Miller was sentenced to die after being convicted of killing three people in a 1999 workplace shooting. His execution was scheduled for Thursday. But U.S. District Judge R. Austin Huffaker, Jr. on Monday issued a preliminary injunction that stops Alabama from carrying out the execution by lethal injection. “Miller will likely suffer irreparable injury if an injunction does not issue because he will be deprived of the ability to die by the method he chose and instead will be forced to die by a method he sought to avoid and which he asserts will be painful,” Huffaker wrote in the ruling....

Mahrez handed in a transfer request as he wanted to join Manchester City in the January transfer window. But a deal failed to materialise, with the Foxes holding out for a higher price than the Citizens were offering. Consequently, the winger embarked on a self-imposed strike and had missed several training sessions and two games including Leicester’s 1-1 draw with Swansea City on Saturday. Despite the attitude of the former Le Havre player, the English footballer has discredited report that the rest of the squad are angry with the forward....

The law went into effect near the end of 2018, and in 2019, despite drivers increasing the number of miles traveled, Utah recorded 248 fatalities from 225 fatal crashes, compared to 281 fatalities in 259 fatal crashes recorded in 2016, according to new data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Researchers said that equates to a nearly 20 percent reduction in the rate of fatal crashes, and the rate of fatalities was reduced by about 18 percent from 2016 to 2019....

Cliff Pennington came out of the bullpen with two on and two out in the ninth inning, and while he allowed both of those runners to score on Alcides Escobar’s two-RBI single, the 31-year-old infielder got Ben Zobrist to pop up in foul territory to end the inning and keep his won ERA at 0.00.

The filing comes two months after Mamie Mitchell, Rust’s script supervisor, sued Baldwin in California Superior Court accusing of him acting recklessly with the six-shooter-style revolver on the New Mexico set of the indie Western film. The lawsuit accuses Baldwin of playing “Russian Roulette” with the weapon when he discharged it, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin has maintained the shooting was an accident. The filing from Baldwin’s lawyer points out that Mitchell’s lawsuit concedes that the prop gun was never “intended” by anyone on the set to be loaded....

Schneider—who worked on SNL between 1988 and 1994, going from writer to cast member in 1990—hit out at the long-running NBC comedy show during a recent appearance on The Glenn Beck Podcast.

Saturday Night Live’s Chris Redd made a rather pointed jibe at Jenner, 69, over her past support for President Donald Trump during the 2016 U.S. election. “You goddamn hypocrite. You’re against gay marriage, you voted for Trump … you’re like the Auntie Tom of the trans community,” said Redd. “You did open the door for trans people, but then you ran in and slammed that s**t shut behind your flat ass....

A year to the day after the surprise Jonathan Drouin-Mikhail Sergachev blockbuster opened Summer 2017, the Canadiens pulled off another stunner, shipping Alex Galchenyuk to the Coyotes in exchange for Max Domi. The deal, announced late Friday, was an old-fashioned one-for-one swap that caused some questions about Montreal maximizing value. Galchenyuk, drafted third overall in 2012, never truly found a comfort zone with the Habs. He couldn’t come close to the 30 goals he scored in 2015-16, but at 24 remained an integral part of Montreal’s core....

The reality TV star, 25, and his girlfriend Alyssa Salerno, with whom he recently welcomed a daughter, are prominent personalities on the show, which has just returned from a hiatus.

Bell’s father, Alexander Melville Bell, was a teacher of the deaf. His method of teaching the deaf was coined “Visible Speech.“Bell’s grandfather was a famous elocution teacher and is thought to be the model for George Bernard Shaw’s character Prof. Henry Higgins in Pygmalion.

Ocasio-Cortez made the remark on Twitter while commenting on a retweet of a photo captioned “Today we are all @AOC.” The photo shows Ocasio-Cortez glaring at the back of Manchin’s head as he stood and clapped while former President Donald Trump delivered his 2019 State of the Union address. “Just thinking about how after this photo ran Wall Street Journal columnists spent more time criticizing me for not smiling enough than asking Manchin precisely what areas of ‘common ground’ he had in mind when he stood up for the GOP,” tweeted Ocasio-Cortez....

“Call me radical,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Thursday afternoon, “but maybe instead of setting ablaze hundreds of millions of dollars on multiple plutocratic, long-shot, very-late presidential bids, we instead invest hundreds of millions into winning majorities of state legislatures across the United States?” “Just a thought!” she added. Her tweet comes amid the news that former New York City Michael Bloomberg is preparing to enter the race, having filed paperwork to enter Democratic primaries in Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee....

I believe in full student loan debt cancellation. But we have to push him to at the bare minimum a floor of $50,000 that Sen. [Elizabeth] Warren and Sen. [Chuck] Schumer have also advanced....
