The members earned every bit of that. And now the ACC represents 38 percent of the Elite Eight. That’s three teams – Duke, North Carolina, Miami – in case the calculator app is acting up....

Earlier this week, law enforcement officials in South Carolina connected a string of fake active shooter calls at schools to a challenge on TikTok. And a recent trend stirred buzz on TikTok in which users cooked chicken with NyQuil, prompting a warning from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

A.J. Antoon’s Central Park production for the New York Shakespeare Festival outflanks the problem by setting the play in the American wild West of the late 1800s. Bardolators may barf, but this is a delightful idea. Like a John Ford movie gone loco, Shakespeare’s chaps wear chaps, twirl six-guns and belt redeye. The cast speaks in a Western twang, which gives the language a nice exotic spin and actually refreshes Shakespeare’s humor....

In the MLB postseason, faith can mean something completely different: trouble. It wasn’t long ago that Adam Ottavino was one of the shutdown relievers in the Yankees’ super bullpen. He pitched to a 1.90 ERA during the regular season despite some late sketchiness. The postseason has helped to reveal those issues: He has failed to record an out in four of his seven appearances and has been charged with four runs (three earned) in 2 1/3 innings pitched, including one Thursday that extended the Astros’ lead in Game 4 of the ALCS....

That’s betting on sports, in case you were wondering. He said so in a New York Times op-ed Thursday. In fact, Silver has made a number of such statements since becoming the NBA’s commissioner.

McCarthy told Fox News host Sean Hannity Friday night that Biden’s energy levels are so low, he is essentially unable to fulfill the role of president, particularly in comparison to Trump, a person defined by his irritability, rambling rants and knee-jerk responses. “But at no time, having known Joe Biden for quite some time, does he have the energy of Donald Trump. We both know it. Donald Trump didn’t need to sleep five hours a night....
