According to Verywell Health’s latest vaccine sentiment survey, more than a quarter—27%—of our vaccinated respondents said they were previously against getting the COVID-19 vaccine. What did it take to change their minds? Among the converted, the top reason—chosen by 40% of respondents—for finally embracing the jab was the risk of COVID seemingly outweighing the risk of getting vaccinated. Other converts say they just needed time to warm up to the idea....

Green, 31, is a pending free agent in 2020. Although Cincinnati’s offense has been bad without him, the bottom line is that the team is 0-7, headed for a massive rebuild, and is unlikely to re-sign Green, anyway. Given that, the Bengals need to think a lot more about trading him than keeping him. He would cost them only $3 million in dead cap money and pro-rating his near $12 million base salary, any other team with more than $8 million under its current salary cap can easily afford him....

At stake: potentially damning evidence from exchanges he made in jail regarding the death of Odin Lloyd. UPDATE: A judge rejected efforts by prosecutors to obtain Hernandez’s jailhouse recordings. Calling Friday's decision a "big win for Hernandez," NFL.com's Albert Breer reported the news. "Proof of the identity of the shooter is also not essential to proof that the defendant committed a murder," Breer wrote in quoting the judge. Also from Breer's Twitter account: "Prosecution emphasized that it didn't have to decipher whether it was an individual or group act yet, just that Hernandez was a part of it....

“I have a major problem with the way it goes down, to be honest with you,” Rodgers said Tuesday on his ESPN Milwaukee radio show. “The majority of the time, they take air out of the football. I think that, for me, is a disadvantage.” MORE: Ravens suspect under-inflated balls | Colts react to Pats act Rodgers, with his secure grip and sizable hands, said he prefers a fully inflated football....

Appearing on “Inside the NBA” with Tom Brady over the weekend, Rodgers had plenty of trash talk for the next generation to Charles Barkley and the crew. “Charles, I’ve done my scouting report and I heard that Josh was terrible in Pebble (Beach) and Pat has played the last couple of years in Tahoe and hasn’t broken 80 yet,” Rodgers said on the show. “I think he was closer to being in a group with you – no offense, Charles – than maybe with me in Tahoe....

The Packers were, once again, deafeningly quiet prior to the 2022 NFL trade deadline, despite having their sights set on a player that was moved. That’s not great news for Aaron Rodgers, who needs just a bit more wide receiver help this year. Chase Claypool was reportedly a target of the Packers, and the team offered the Steelers a second-round pick for the wideout. Pittsburgh, though, shipped him off to Green Bay’s NFC North rival Chicago for that second-round pick price....

Green Bay is set to play five of its next six games at Lambeau Field and Rodgers has a request for the home crowd. “My only ask is that we don’t do the wave when we’re on offense,” Rodgers said Wednesday, via The Athletic. Green Bay came away with a victory against the Bears in Chicago in Week 1 but only managed to score 10 points in its first game under new coach Matt LaFleur....

“That’s Scott Stapp from Creed,” read one of the many tweets that made the comparison. Creed sold millions of albums in the late 1990s and early 2000s and had hits with singles like “Higher” and “With Arms Wide Open.” Singer Stapp often made biblical allusions in his lyrics, but he maintained the post-grunge band was not a Christian act. The group has been on hiatus since 2013, while Stapp released his third solo album, The Space Between the Shadows, in 2019....

The Value of ABC Stories ABC stories are also called “A-to-Z stories.” They are both entertainment and an educational tool used to help develop sign language skills. They offer the opportunity to be expressive and use your imagination to create a unique story while practicing ASL. Because it’s an expressive form of sign language, there is no real way to interpret it and write it down. An ABC story must be viewed and you need to understand ASL in order to follow along....

If you get prompt medical attention, emergency surgical repair may save your life. An aortic aneurysm that is diagnosed prior to rupture can be surgically repaired, too, with a good prognosis. Aortic Aneurysm Symptoms An aortic aneurysm can produce symptoms that wax and wane before it ruptures. Often, when an aortic aneurysm becomes larger, symptoms either begin for the first time or worsen. Symptoms may be an indication that a rupture is more likely to happen....

Last week, as the United States commemorated the anniversary of the legalization of abortion nationwide, the Trump administration made headlines for its despicable opposition to abortion access. Donald Trump became the first sitting president to attend the anti-abortion March for Life rally, and in remarks praising his efforts to restrict access to health care worldwide, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos had the nerve to compare abortion to slavery. Speaking at a Colorado Christian University event in Washington, D....

It seems like everybody is switching vodkas these days. Even James Bond is now ordering his shaken, not stirred, martinis with Finlandia instead of his old cold-war favorite, Smirnoff. More than 100 new vodkas have hit the market in the past four years and the tasteless alcohol is expected to surpass whisky this year to become America’s hard liquor of choice. But there’s a generational changing of the bottle going on in the $8....

The Rossoneri finished in sixth in last season’s Serie A campaign, gaining a spot in the Europa League group stage for 2018-19. But according to UEFA, the Italians have fallen foul of FFP laws and will not be able to take up their spot. Milan will have the right to appeal, but if that is unsuccessful they will be expelled from the 2018-19 Europa League, although they would be eligible to enter again in 2019-20 if they qualify for either the Champions or Europa League....

Bet on Milan to win Serie A The Brazil-born Spain international is expected to leave the Premier League champions after Chelsea completed the club-record capture of Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid. Antonio Conte has suggested a row with Costa in January over a proposed move to Chinese Super League side Tianjin Quanjian made up his mind about the future of the forward, who scored 20 Premier League goals last season....

The 21-year-old becomes Milan’s fourth coup of the transfer window, following the arrivals of Mateo Musacchio, Ricardo Rodriguez and Franck Kessie. Ronaldo names Portugal heir Silva moves for much less than his €60m release fee due to Porto’s recent fine from UEFA for failing to comply with Financial Fair Play obligations, with agent Jorge Mendes negotiating a transfer of around €38m. The striker was in excellent form in the Primeira Liga last season, scoring 16 goals in 32 games for Porto, as well as four times in eight Champions League appearances....

Detroit Tigers -118 (vs. New York Yankees) CC Sabathia vs Alfredo Simon It might seem like milking it a bit, but the Tigers are still undervalued by the bookmakers, even with their solid efforts (bar a 12-3 loss vs. the White Sox). The Yankees did a good job against the Rays, but this time, the opposition is something else completely. There’s great value in Detroit at -118 – the Tigers’ winning percentage is 64....
