Andrew Benintendi is going to get an opportunity to see the other side of the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry, as the Royals traded the outfielder to New York on Wednesday night for a trio of A-ball prospects. The trade comes at a just the right time for the scuffling Yankees: Now 14-14 in their last 28 games, New York needed a sparkplug for the offense, and that could come by way of the 28-year-old outfielder....

Earlier this January, a woman named Caroline Elise released a TikTok video, in which she alleged that Callaghan, host of YouTube channel Channel 5, “wore [her] down” with requests to have sex while staying at her house. “It’s even more hard to have to relive the trauma that I endured every single day by seeing this man as a social-justice warrior, as someone who cares about human rights, get a platform,” Elise said in the now-deleted video....

More than likely, a number of good players aren’t even going to make the ballot. MORE: Predicting the 2018 Hall of Fame class For whatever reason, since 2010 the Hall of Fame’s gone with an era-based approach for considering veteran candidates. Currently, candidates are assigned to one of four eras — Early Days, Golden Days, Modern Baseball or Today’s Game — based on their perceived best years.

And after the Packers’ 27-24 overtime win, Rodgers enjoyed a lengthy chat with Belichick. During that conversation, Belichick told Rodgers that the Packers won because the quarterback was “making throws only Rodgers can make.” But as Rodgers explained on “The Pat McAfee Show” Tuesday, Belichick did something even more meaningful to him before the Week 4 matchup. The veteran coach took time to briefly speak with Rodgers before the contest began....

According to a report from Adam Schefter, Rodgers is “disgruntled” with the Packers, to the point he does not want to return to the team in 2021. Some issues he has include Green Bay’s selection of Utah quarterback Jordan Love in the 2020 NFL Draft and the team’s insistence of restructuring his deal instead of offering him a long-term extension. MORE: Why does Aaron Rodgers want out?

The 39-year-old LaFleur spent this season as offensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans, his first calling plays in the NFL. Before that, he was offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams in 2017, helping direct a high-powered offense with coach Sean McVay calling plays. LaFleur takes over for Mike McCarthy, who was fired during the season following a stunning home loss to Arizona on Dec. 2. Joe Philbin went 2-2 as Green Bay’s interim coach....

Roughly a year ago around this time, the quarterback was unhappy with his lack of involvement with personnel decisions along with the drafting of quarterback Jordan Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. However, things have seemingly changed and proof of that is a recent statement from Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst. Here’s what he had to say about the current situation with his franchise quarterback, according to Packers beat writer Ryan Wood:...

Lacy left the game after just five carries and 4 rushing yards. Backup running back James Starks didn’t do much better with 15 yards on nine carries.

After leaving Barcelona on a loan move to Dortmund this season, he is yet to start a single game for the Germans in the league. However, the Spaniard has since scored 6 goals - all in substitute appearances. The Cules saw him as a player of great quality, but Valverde certainly did not provide him with the minutes he deserved. He left the Catalans in search of more playing time and the German Giants were the one to acquire his services....

This week, the WWE aired their WWE 24 documentary on the WWE Network, which focused on the stories behind the show that was WrestleMania 32. It took the fans behind the scenes, while the superstars were allowed to break character and speak candidly. WrestleMania 32 was presented as the greatest show on Earth, and although it may have been a great spectacle, the show was certainly not critically acclaimed. While WWE 24 likes to tell its own story, let’s take a real look at the show that was WrestleMania 32....

Scientists scoffed, of course. In many cases, therapists had planted ideas in their patients’ minds. “There was an abundance of evidence that people could come to remember things they’d never experienced,” says University of Oregon psychologist Michael Anderson. And if people could in fact repress real memories, there was little physiological evidence of it, much less an “abundance.” But times change, and Anderson thinks he now has some. In this week’s Science he makes the controversial argument that subconscious memory repression really does exist–and that it’s merely the sum of conscious attempts to ignore particular memories....

Globalization? Try finding an automatic-teller machine that accepts a Cirrus card or an Israeli ATM card that isn’t useless anywhere outside Israel. Efficiency? Opening a simple checking account requires a minimum of thirty signatures from both client and bank officials. Then there’s the country’s bloated public sector and its dysfunctional bureaucracy, which combine the creaky socialism of 1970s Italy with the sheer backwardness of Ethiopia. Overnight, the strike paralyzed nearly every aspect of Israel’s economy....

But Richard has discovered that the Bushies’ gratitude has its limits. More than four months after the U.S. Supreme Court ended the 2000 election, he and his firm, Greenberg Traurig, are still owed more than $800,000 in legal fees. The firm, which sent 39 lawyers and 13 paralegals into court battles all over the state, is one of a dozen that have so far been stiffed. The estimated total tab: more than $2 million....
