The Egyptian giants have battled through to the showpiece of the continental competition, where they face Wydad Casablanca in a two-legged decider. Having drawn the first leg 1-1 in Alexandria, the club subsequently decided to open training up to supporters ahead of the decider. The plan backfired, however, when tens of thousands descended on the Mokhtar El-Tesh stadium in Cairo and made continuing the session impossible. Fans flooded the pitch, meaning an early end to training for Al-Ahly ahead of the second leg in Casablanca....

Intelligence and terrorism experts say that the Islamist presence on the Internet has expanded rapidly in recent months, and it’s not just a matter of virtual violence. New Web sites have cropped up featuring gory games, comic strips and themes including enigmatic symbols such as flowers and trees–which could contain coded messages for terrorists, says private terrorism investigator Rita Katz. Driven even deeper underground than it was before the 9-11 attacks, Al Qaeda is using the Net to assert its presence far more than in the past....

The Crimson Tide will travel to Tallahassee on Aug. 30, 2025, and welcome the Seminoles to Tuscaloosa on Sept. 19, 2026. Barring any bowl games, the home-and-home will be the sixth and seventh meetings between the teams. Alabama leads the series, 3-1-1, and won the most recent iteration, 24-7, in 2017. IN DEPTH: Alabama’s home-and-home scheduling The series is a notable continuation of Alabama’s recent shift in philosophy for nonconference games....

In a video posted on Facebook, the Tarrant City Council member can be seen standing up, pointing at Black councilwoman Veronica Freeman and asking : “Do we have a house [n-word] in here? Would she please stand up?” His comments draw gasps from those in attendance at the public meeting while Freeman can later be seen on the video appearing to sob into her hands following the remarks. Bryant has since defended his use of the racial slur, claiming it was something Tarrant city mayor Wayman Newton, who is Black, had said in relation to Freeman during an executive session....

Eddy Pineiro, the nation’s No. 1 junior college kicker, committed to Alabama earlier this month. He also had offers from Florida and Miami, and it’s easy to see why.

The 2015 Heisman Trophy winner could follow in the footsteps of four other former Crimson Tide backs taken in the first or second round of the NFL Draft since Nick Saban’s arrival in 2007. But that’s not necessarily a good thing. He could be Mark Ingram or Eddie Lacy. Or he could turn out more like Trent Richardson. Henry comes in with the best credentials. He’s the single-season and all-time leading rusher at Alabama, but there are legitimate concerns about whether he’s worth a first- or second-round pick....

If Smith is ready for big minutes, coach Jim Harbaugh could use him to patch a depleted linebacking corps.

The negatives are plenty, though. He’s looked lost at the plate, pretty much every time up. One Game 2 swing was so bad that he hit K.C. catcher Salvador Perez in the head with his backswing. He’s yet to reach first base safely, after hitting .263 with only 10 home runs in an injury-plagued 2014 season. Still, his manager is sticking with him. “I think that it’s definitely worth getting him the at-bats to see if he’s going to find it,” Mike Scioscia said, “because when he does find it, he’s a difference-maker....

After reviewing the report, Newman had to deny it a second time, AP reported. “After considering the arguments of counsel, the evaluation submitted, then pending charges and other investigations, and the apparent character and mental condition of the defendant, the Court finds that the Defendant is a danger both to himself and his community,” Newman wrote....
