This was true even though he and his Packers had no Jordy Nelson at all, no Eddie Lacy for the final three quarters and no Davante Adams in the second quarter.

He’d struggled earlier in the season with Toronto, posting a 6.07 ERA in 23 outings, but there was reason to think the adjustment-driven performances in a fresh uniform indicated a lasting turnaround. The Astros after all are widely viewed as a laboratory for pitching improvement, recently helping Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole, Charlie Morton and Brad Peacock make mid-career strides.

The House of Representatives doesn’t have the filibuster and therefore has essentially no debate at all. A slight majority in the House, which is what we have now, can push through essentially anything the speaker wants, as long as she can keep her coalition intact....

Las Vegas sports book operator William Hill offers the Patriots at -320 on the money-line, odds that imply over a 76 percent chance of winning the game outright....
What separates acne conglobata from the more common nodulocystic acne is that acne conglobata causes large draining abscesses and sinus tracts. Now, these sinus tracts don’t have anything to do with the sinuses of your respiratory tract. Sinus tracts are long, tunneling wounds under the surface of the skin. In acne conglobata, deep breakouts grow and spread beneath the skin’s surface. The breakouts join up with each other, causing these deep wounds....
