Rumors of Hunter Biden’s international business affairs, often mentioned by President Donald Trump while addressing Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, were exacerbated by a story published by the New York Post which purported to include screenshots of incriminating emails. That documentation implied that Hunter Biden accepted payment for introducing a Ukrainian business executive to Joe Biden while Joe Biden served as vice-president. In a separate story, the New York Post published more alleged emails that claimed Hunter Biden had also accepted money from a Chinese company....

The Dodgers are up three games to two on the Rays in the best-of-seven Fall Classic, and Gonsolin will get the ball for the second time in the series. He served as an opener for a bullpen game in Game 2, but LA manager Dave Roberts has said he’s hoping for five to six innings from Gonsolin in Game 6. That means that someone who didn’t pitch full time until pro ball could be the winning pitcher in the Dodgers’ first World Series triumph since 1988....

In May 2021, Netflix announced Vanessa Villela, alongside Emma Hernan, would be making their debut in Season 4 of Selling Sunset as two new realtors. So, who is Vanessa Vilella? Newsweek has everything you need to know. Who is Vanessa Villela? Vanessa Villela is an award-winning Mexican-American actress turned LA-based Realtor.

On Monday, the governor dug in his heels, telling Fox News that he had made amends through an apology, although when questioned, he could not name one political figure who supported him. While he has not made any formal announcement, Rosselló is likely to quit on Wednesday following 11 days of protests, Reuters reported. The U.S. territory’s Justice Secretary, Wanda Vázquez Garced, is expected to take over from the embattled Rosselló....

And in Week 1 of the 2019 season, those fans are being treated to a doubleheader. Playing on “Monday Night Football” tonight are the Saints and Texans … and the Raiders and Broncos. Both games are scheduled to be shown on ESPN as part of the network’s now-traditional doubleheader presentation to start each NFL season. The Texans, who have been in the news for all the wrong reasons of late, play the Saints in the first “Monday Night Football” game of the night, which is scheduled to kick off at 7 p....

Now, the World Health Organization (WHO) is renaming these variants using the Greek alphabet. They hope these easy-to-remember names will help reduce stigma and discrimination in the variant reporting process. The WHO says these news labels were decided upon after wide consultation with expert groups around the world. The organization will continue to assign new names for variants that are designated “variants of interest” or “variants of concern.” The new names for the variants are:...

As a team, the Jets are averaging 103.4 rushing yards per game and 4.1 yards per carry, and they’ve only had one rushing TD by a running back (Josh Adams). Obviously, this hasn’t been a lucrative spot for fantasy owners, so it’s easy to overlook whoever gets the starting job. But with bye weeks, injuries, and the constant threat of postponed games, having high-usage RBs is valuable in all formats....

We saw that last week when Target suspended all in-store sales of MLB, NBA, NFL and Pokémon cards after a recent incident between customers outside a store in Wisconsin ended with a gun brandished. It was a bit of a wakeup call — and one that gives evidence of a problem that’s been steadily building within the industry since last year. “At first, it’s just normal supply and demand that the market dictates,” said Jeff Owens, the editor of Sports Collectors Digest, which has tracked the industry since 1973....

Steven Smith’s 149 and George Bailey’s 112 overpowered Rohit Sharma’s 171* and Virat Kohli’s 91 to guide Australia to victory by 5 wickets. After winning the toss, the Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni decided to bat first. The visitors were off to a flier as Rohit started hitting from the very first ball of the match. He was supported by Kohli’s 91 and then small Dhoni cameo. India posted a mammoth target of 310 runs which did look like a difficult task for Australia initially after they lost both the openers in quick succession....

Being captain is an honour, or at least it should be, for any player. It is the manager showing you that he has enough trust in you to literally, and figuratively, lead the team out. Currently, Arsenal have two captains. Per Mertesacker is the club captain and has his own section in the programmes at each home game. However, due to a range of factors including age and his status in the pecking order, the on-pitch duty has more often than not fallen to the veteran defender that is Laurent Koscielny....

It is now being reported that Thibaut Courtois is going back on loan to Atletico Madrid. This works for both sides as Madrid get a third year of service from a player who has developed under them into one of the best goalkeepers in the world and Chelsea get another year to evaluate if and when the Belgian will get to compete with Petr Cech. Having released Ross Turnbull and Henrique Hilario this means that Petr Cech is the only senior goalkeeper at the club....

The 2022 tournament will take place in Qatar with many of the world’s best players vying for the biggest football trophy of them all as the group stage begins at the end of this week. With only 32 nations securing their spot at this World Cup, that leaves plenty of football fans without their own country competing and wondering who to support. Never fear, The Sporting News is here with 10 unique ways to decide who to cheer on in Qatar....

Based on the performance of the tiny, in-ear AirPods and the AirPods Pro, the AirPods Max probably sound incredible. They also pack in some typical Apple design flourishes, like the Apple Watch-like Digital Crown for volume control, magnetic aluminum earcups, and a headband design that is so sensible one wonders why it’s not used everywhere. Even for Apple, the price is steep, and yet delivery times have already slipped to 12-14 weeks....

He carried the ball just once but gained 23 yards. He lined up as a fullback and blocked for Jeremy Hill. He lined up at multiple wide receiver positions and heading into the fourth quarter was the team’s leading receiver with three catches for 43 yards. MORE: Must-see playoff photos | Bengals bicker on the sidelines | Luck’s beautiful throw But who is Rex Burkhead?

We stress the term “mock” since Las Vegas sports books are not allowed to take wagers on coaching hires. Nevertheless, it’s a fun exercise. So here goes …. With reports the 49ers have requested permission to speak with Adam Gase – and the widely- held notion the team wants to hire a coach with an offensive background – the Broncos’ offensive coordinator is the favorite to land the job. Writes Sporting News NFL expert Vinnie Iyer, “Gase has handled both Tim Tebow and Peyton Manning well in Denver, making them think he can do a lot of great things with (Colin) Kaepernick....

USA Gymnastics confirmed in a statement on Wednesday morning that Biles won’t be participating in Thursday’s all-around final. “After further medical evaluation, Simone Biles has withdrawn from the final individual all-around competition at the Tokyo Olympics Games, in order to focus on her mental health,” the governing body wrote. “Simone will continue to be evaluated daily to determine whether or not to participate in next week’s individual event finals.”...

On the season finale of the Fox competition contemporary dancer Keaton Kermode and ballroom dancer Alexis Warr battled it out to impress the judges and voting audience. This year’s judges, JoJo Siwa, Stephen “tWitch” Boss and Leah Remini, were, of course, on hand to give their feedback to the two finalists. Longtime host Cat Deeley was also there to oversee proceedings and support the dancers through the night. The finale featured an array of performances and some very special guests, but who was crowned the winner and awarded the coveted $100,000 cash prize?...

Vinicius Junior’s second-half goal coupled with a man-of-the-match display from goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois ensured Carlo Ancelotti’s side followed up their La Liga triumph with victory in Paris. But after a night of crowd concern prior to kickoff, and debatable VAR decisions, there was plenty of controversy and discussion in the days and weeks that followed. A team that conquered Chelsea, PSG and Manchester City en route to the final was always going to be deserving of lifting the Champions League trophy, but Liverpool will still feel unlucky not to have taken their chances in what was a chaotic night on and off the pitch in the French capital....
