But before he was released, HBO opened the third episode of the season showing Maybin in a far different environment than the football field: an art studio. That national audience for his artwork, which can be purchased on AaronMaybin.com, was a platform to reach a number of new interested buyers. Maybin compared it to having a big game on a national stage when he spoke to Sporting News by phone on Thursday....

Chances are, the NFL world hasn’t seen the last of Rodgers in a Packers uniform, but Rodgers’ comments Tuesday on “The Pat McAfee Show” aren’t helping ease the anxiety of some Green Bay fans hoping to see No. 12 again next season. In a lengthy interview with McAfee, Rodgers elaborated on his comments after the NFC championship game, when he mentioned that his future with the Packers is “uncertain” at the moment:...
Just days after the Packers quarterback (and teammate Davante Adams) shared images of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen a la “The Last Dance,” it sounds like Rodgers is taking the dance floor this Tuesday at Packers training camp. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that sources close to Rodgers say that the expectation is that the quarterback is set to report to training camp this week, which should put an end to Rodgers’ “uncertain future” in Green Bay....

Romo swapped football for a commentary role with CBS following his retirement three years ago, while earlier this year Brees reportedly signed a contract with NBC to begin his broadcasting career once he retires. Rodgers, however, all but ruled out transitioning from the field to the commentary booth. “I’ve given a lot to this game,” the Green Bay Packers quarterback said during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday night....
While the match between one of the NFL’s baddest men and one of the league’s most storied franchises has been one made in heaven, the schism between the franchise and the player has seemingly sent the relationship to hell. According to multiple reports, Rodgers has played his last snap for the Packers, either by trade or retirement, while Green Bay brass remains adamant that the quarterback isn’t going anywhere....
But instead, the former USC quarterback and 2004 Heisman Trophy winner, “respectfully declined” invitations from the show each time he was asked. MORE: NFL players’ wives and girlfriends Leinart told Fox Sports Radio’s “Outkick the Show” on Tuesday that he was approached about “six or seven years ago.” He was again approached last fall by “a couple of Bachelor scouts” while walking around Manhattan Beach, but again “respectfully declined” despite being an “avid viewer of the show....
The striker played just a handful of minutes against France before limping off the pitch, and he watched on as Eder scored the decisive goal in extra time. More will follow Ozil if Wenger leaves And according to Abidal, that withdrawal was actually in Portugal’s best interests. “France had a good tournament, they were unlucky because if Gignac scored then it would have been finished, give us the trophy,” he explained to Grup 14....

This article reviews symptoms of abnormal vaginal bleeding, as well as its causes, diagnosis, and treatment. It also covers when abnormal vaginal bleeding can signal a serious problem....
But one reform that ought to have no place at the table is the scheme to nullify the Electoral College, a plan known as the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPV). Supporters of the NPV are pushing state legislatures to pledge their electoral votes to the candidate who gets a raw popular vote plurality. If enough states sign on, the compact purportedly goes into effect, and the Electoral College becomes irrelevant....
On January 12, the Supreme Court reinstated that requirement, over the objection of medical organizations. The ruling put us right back where we were: Among the 20,000 medications regulated by the FDA, mifepristone is the only one that requires an in-person pickup. The decision was heartbreaking to us, and felt unfair. Patients taking objectively more dangerous drugs are not forced to appear in person during a raging pandemic. But despite this setback, abortion care has transformed—in a good way—during COVID-19....
At 3:40 p.m. on Sunday, a car pulled up outside of a Little Caesars where a group of people were standing when gunshots started to ring out. Besides the two victims who are in critical condition, five are initially reported to be in good condition according to Chicago police. Surveillance video showed someone inside of the vehicle talking with the group before “almost immediately” opening fire on them. It’s uncertain if there was an argument before the shooting or if it was targeted, said Chicago Police Department Superintendent David O....
Wenger on worst away losing run Arsene Wenger and Sam Allardyce have had some fantastic battles over the years, particularly in the first half of the Frenchman’s reign at Arsenal where Bolton Wanderers took the mantle of bogey team for the Gunners. Times have changed since then and Allardyce’s last league win over Wenger in the Premier League was in May 2010 with Blackburn Rovers. Monday night’s game drew similarities with the recent implosion against West Brom at the Hawthorns, where Arsenal dominated possession yet conceded clear-cut chances and were punished by the set piece prowess of their opponents....

When Monrovia Football Academy opened in October 2015, we decided not to build a home. Our approach was to evolve first – to generate our own energy and establish a culture of excellence that would eventually travel with us. Only then – when the Academy would have discovered its true identity – would we build a home. Here is why. Monrovia Football Academy was founded with two parallel missions – to empower Liberia’s future leaders, and to promote a more equitable, collaborative, and locally-driven approach to ‘development’....
