Michigan State’s alternate uniform, teased by the Spartans back in April, is now a thing that exists in real life, not just digital renditions or concept art. And, uh, it’s not great. MORE: Sporting News’ preseason top 25 for 2019 There’s a lot to unpack here. You have the usual forest green present, which is fine and good and where the Spartans should have stopped. But they added a gross smattering of spearmint/Shrek/Nickelodeon-slime green on the pants, jersey and helmet logo....

“HBO actually asked us to do that this season, do a Hard Knocks this season. But I sort of passed on that because I didn’t really want to put ourselves in that situation,” Dantonio said during his Tuesday press conference. “I think it’s a good show. I’ve watched it and I think it’s well done. But we just passed on it right now because I want our players to concentrate on what we have to do here and not on a camera....

The exchange of rocket and mortar fire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza had put Biden in a difficult spot. The left flank of the Democratic party has been increasingly outspoken in its support for the Palestinian people. And when Israel responded militarily to Hamas’s attack, progressives—led by Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar—criticized Israel and went after Biden himself. Biden’s statement after the conflict broke out that Israel had a right to defend itself, Ocasio-Cortez said, had “dehumanized Palestinians” and “implied the U....

Her opponent? Amanda Nunes of Brazil. MORE: Right pairing in UFC 200’s main event | Tate says Holm crumbled A Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor rematch is the headline event for UFC 200. Nunes (12-4) is the No. 4 ranked bantamweight, but unfortunately for the UFC her name doesn’t draw eyeballs at the level Holly Holm or Ronda Rousey.

Evans stood on the sidelines wearing the jersey of former college teammate Johnny Manziel, only it wasn’t a Texas A&M jersey. It was Manziel’s Cleveland Browns uniform.MORE: Does Johnny Manziel need more rehab? Evans was either making a joke or trying to support Manziel, who has encountered more off-the-field trouble as of late.

A new survey from the Trafalgar Group found Vance behind Gibbons and Josh Mandel. Vance garnered 14.3 percent support from likely GOP voters compared with Gibbons’s 16.4 percent and Mandel’s 21 percent. In December, a poll from the same group saw Vance behind Mandel but ahead of Gibbons by 3 percentage points. At the time, Vance had support from 14.9 percent of likely voters.

Scientists were able to separate the chemical composition of different inks used on the paper to map out each layer of ink and recover the original text. Using this new method, scientists found that the Swedish count scratched out words himself in dark ink. Redacting phrases such as “madly” and “beloved” changed the tone of the letter and the relationship between the correspondents, according to the report. “In this time, people used a lot of flowery language — but here, it’s really strong, really intimate language,” Anne Michelin, a material analyst at the Sorbonne’s Research Center for Conservation, told the Associated Press....

Santos is facing calls to resign after admitting to making multiple false statements regarding his background and qualifications in his successful campaign run for New York’s 3rd Congressional District in the fall. Santos was later grilled about his “blatant lies” by former Hawaii Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard during an episode of Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight in which Gabbard filled in as guest host. “All of these lies that you’ve told, not just one little lie, or one little embellishment—these are blatant lies,” Gabbard said to the congressman-elect during the interview....

Pelosi announced Tuesday that lawmakers in the House of Representatives would be required at all times to wear masks amid the coronavirus pandemic, insisting recognition in the chamber would hinge on members following this rule. Responding to this Greene, who has openly supported the QAnon conspiracy theory in the past, wrote on Twitter: “Is this the Marjorie Mask Mandate, @SpeakerPelosi? An oppressive violation of my rights.” Greene, an ardent supporter of President Donald Trump who has backed him in his push against the election outcome, ended the tweet using the hashtag #MyBodyMyChoice....

The WHO is focused on getting adults and health care and frontline workers around the world vaccinated against the coronavirus. Given the limited studies of vaccinations in children and the low risk that COVID-19 has posed to young people thus far, the international health agency has advocated for wealthier nations to vaccinate their high-risk populations first and then donate extra doses to lower-income countries. On Tuesday, Greene posted on Twiter the WHO’s advice that children not get vaccinated against COVID-19 and said schools shouldn’t “force vaccines on children....

The first question Hannity asked Cuban during his Tuesday evening interview was whether or not he thinks the former Vice President is capable of being president. “Do you believe he has the strength, the stamina, the mental acuity, the alertness, to be taking on what is the toughest job in the world, being the president of the United States?” The Shark Tank personality simply replied, “Yes.” Hannity continued to press Cuban,“Do you in your heart believe he does?...

In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, the ex-Trump administration official said some scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) were “not really looking at [COVID] in a truly investigatory manner” as he referred to emails sent to and from Fauci.
