The controversial Georgia Republican has made repeated calls for the president’s impeachment since he took office. “Throwback to January 12, 2021. I will never forget voting NO against Nancy Pelosi’s political assassination attempt by impeaching President Trump with ZERO evidence,” she wrote on Twitter on Monday alongside video of her remarks on the House floor that day before former President Donald Trump’s historic second impeachment following the deadly riot at the U....

McCarthy, who secured enough votes to become speaker of the House after 15 rounds of voting early Saturday morning, announced what the first introduced bill would be in the GOP-controlled Congress shortly after his victory. Republicans will soon vote on a bill that would repeal the funding of 87,000 Internal Revenue Services (IRS) agents. Funding for the agency was included in the Inflation Reduction Act, which was passed last August....

Greene, who appeared on former President Donald Trump White House aide Sebastian Gorka’s radio program Tuesday, was talking about programs proposed by Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. The freshman congresswoman mentioned that Abrams, “in her announcement speech, said she would pursue aggressive vaccinations of Georgians.” While not in agreement with Abrams’ stance on vaccinations, Greene then transitioned and moved onto the gubernatorial candidate’s stance on guns and the Second Amendment saying, “The next thing she talked about was grabbing people’s guns....

Cuban comes equipped not only with this blessing, but also an abundance of charisma, which he has used to fashion a television career on such programs as “Shark Tank,” “Entourage” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.” All of these qualities were in evidence at various points during an interview with Pittsburgh’s 93.7 The Fan that aired Wednesday on “The PM Team” with hosts Andrew Fillipponi​ and Chris Mueller. Midway through, though, Cuban allowed his discourse to plunge to the level of clueless Twitter bro....

The Mavericks owner on Wednesday joined KTCK-AM 1310 radio to discuss basketball and politics, specifically Donald Trump. When prompted about his chances, Cuban said he believes the controversial GOP presidential candidate can in fact become the Republican nominee. “It’s still too early to tell because so much can happen over the next however many months,” Cuban said. “I don’t even know when the convention is, August or July or whatever....

“The good news for (Lakers rookie D’Angelo Russell) is that he could very well one day be an associate head coach in this league,” Jackson said during the Rockets-Thunder broadcast Sunday (via Hardwood Paroxysm).

Of coaches fired for forcing players to play through injuries. Of coaches fired for trying to intimidate academia to change a player’s grade. Of coaches fired for drinking on the job, of coaches quitting because they can no longer get it done. Even, yes even, of coaches fired because they’re not winning.

Nobody else is joining that list anytime soon, as after Beltran at 415 and Teixeira at 404, the active switch-hitters with the most dingers are the currently unemployed Nick Swisher at 245 and Jimmy Rollins at 231. The only active switch-hitter you could really fathom joining the 400 club years from now - and that’s a long shot - is Francisco Lindor, who has 25 career home runs at the age of 22....

The video was made by Inspired by Iceland, a campaign from Visit Iceland, which is the country’s official tourism marketing office. It mimics Zuckerberg’s science fiction-themed October video about what he called the “Metaverse”—a virtual world that he claimed is the future of the internet. A tour guide in the Iceland ad seems to mirror the CEO’s appearance with pale skin, close-cropped hair and a plain, black shirt. The guide tells viewers, “Today I want to talk about a revolutionary approach on how to connect our world, without being super weird....

Hernandez was an assistant coach at South Florida, and Fernandez was a highly recruited prepster at Alonso High School in Tampa, throwing a game against Tampa Catholic. It just so happened that Hernandez’s son, Cody, played for Tampa Catholic. Hernandez watched Fernandez warm up and quickly developed a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach. After just one inning, he made the phone call to Lelo Prado, the head coach at South Florida....

The Champions League is back for the second half of the season. On February 14, we will take on Real Madrid. This is the chance to talk about my experience in the competition, what has changed at PSG this season and how I see the tie against Madrid. Personally, it’s going to be a great challenge. Every time we face an opponent of the highest level, we have to be 150% focused and show a lot of energy on the pitch....

There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical about ““Donnie Brasco,’’ but give this movie 20 minutes and you’ll change your tune. The story, based on true events, is so good, and the characters so rich, that the familiarity of the turf becomes irrelevant. Screenwriter Paul Attanasio (““Quiz Show’’) and jack-of-all-genres director Mike Newell (““Four Weddings and a Funeral,’’ ““Dance With a Stranger’’) don’t seem worried that hundreds before them have marched down these mean Italian-American streets; after all, we haven’t been there with Lefty Ruggiero–the small-time hit man Pacino plays–or with Depp’s Donnie Brasco....

Faulk rushed for 4,589 yards and 57 touchdowns at San Diego State from 1991-93 before a Hall of Fame career in the NFL.

In the meantime, he appears to be living the life of a college student. And no news is good news on this front, probably. Henderson hasn't been spotted a ton on social media in the last few months, but he was around the game between Ole Miss and Texas A&M this weekend and popped up rubbing elbows with a few noteworthy people. He was also sporting some pretty long hair for a guy we last saw with a tight buzzcut in the NCAA Tournament....

A limited edition "Seattle Mix," only containing green and blue, will also be available. That seems much more appetizing than the Skittles sausage.

Bryant, who was suspended for violating the NFL substance-abuse policy and missing multiple drug tests, will spend the year south of Las Vegas in Henderson, Nev., as a voluntary receivers coach. He’ll also volunteer at local hospitals while training five days a week at Van Hook Sports Performance.

Google has marked his birthday with a doodle depicting a group of seven people with their arms around each other, with one person wearing a T-shirt with Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr.’s face on it. The doodle was designed by Dr. Fahamu Pecou, a guest artist, who is creating a series of expressionist drawings that highlight individuals’ impact on society. Dr. Pecou told Google: “Dr. King is remembered as one of the most important human beings in history....

The protests began in 2016 when then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick first knelt during the anthem to protest racial discrimination and police brutality. The gesture transformed Kaepernick into a global icon but split public opinion, with President Donald Trump labeling players who joined the protests “sons of b******” and urging team owners to fire them. In the wake of the protests over George Floyd’s death, a large number of players could take a knee during the national anthem in the upcoming NFL season....

Pearn was suspended one race and fined $50,000 for illegal roof flaps at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

The Argentine playmaker has been arguably the Wanderers’ best player of 2016-17 after joining the Red-and-Black in August. Martinez has scored three goals - behind only striker Brendon Santalab (8), notched four assists - behind only Mitch Nichols (5), and leads Western Sydney for successful dribbles with 47. The 29-year-old has also created 29 chances this season - level with captain Dimas and only behind Nichols (37). Martinez was particularly impressive in the Wanderers’ 3-1 win away to Wellington Phoenix last week - setting up the opening goal and scoring the second - and looks to be getting stronger as the A-League campaign progresses....
