In a letter to New York Attorney General Letitia James, Cuomo’s attorney, Rita Galvin, requested that an investigation be opened into the “unlawful disclosure to the New York Post of grand jury information relating to Governor Cuomo and the strong evidence that Albany County Sheriff Craig D. Apple was the source of that unlawful disclosure.” The letter alleges that it was Apple who disclosed to the New York Post that several subpoenas had been issued in relation to the allegations made by Brittany Commisso, a former executive assistant to Cuomo....

The Packers took a late 24-14 lead over the Bears following a Rodgers fourth-quarter rushing touchdown, when the Green Bay passer decided to pass on some verbal jabs to Bears fans watching in the nearby stands. MORE: Ranking the NFL’s best, worst QBs 1-32 “I still own you! I still own you!,” Rodgers screams to the Bears fans following the score. After the game, Rodgers said it wasn’t exactly a spur-of-the-moment....

Nope! Nope! Nope! Cook said the tongue, eyes, and beak were “all present” and had “extra seasoning.” This is not how chicken wings are supposed to look, and it’s why I’m a firm believer of boneless > bone. If Cook had just ordered the boneless wings, he wouldn’t have had to endure the sight of a chicken staring at him right before he was about to eat. MORE: Week 5 NFL picks...

One day after fellow wide receiver Jordy Nelson signed a reported four-year, $39 million contract extension, Cobb stood at his locker Sunday following the team’s second training-camp practice and faced question after question about when he might get a new deal. But it wasn’t just reporters talking about it. Not long after news of Nelson’s deal broke, other players were talking to him about Cobb, who’s entering the final year of his rookie deal, being next to get a new deal....

On Twitter, Lang expressed his concerns by saying an unnamed reporter shouldn’t call a player’s parents without permission. He also added that a reporter shouldn’t lie by saying they did get permission. MORE: Greatest Packers ever | Why Munn-Rodgers intrigue is ridiculous He sent a third tweet simply saying, “Weasel.” Lang didn’t name names, but there’s some speculation about who he is referring to. Cheesehead TV’s podcast Thursday night insinuated the reporter could be the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Michael Cohen....

“It was determined that WR Jordy Nelson sustained a significant right knee injury in yesterday’s game at Pittsburgh,” the Packers said in a statement Monday afternoon. “He will miss the remainder of the season.” MORE: Nelson injury blow cushioned by depth | Super Bowl odds adjusted Multiple reports on Sunday said Nelson had torn his ACL. The nature of the injury was not confirmed by the team. The Packers had been holding out hope that further tests Monday would reveal a less severe injury that might have allowed him to return before the end of the season....

It seems the selection caught the Green Bay locker room off guard, too. Veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis stopped short of criticizing the move but said it was still rather stunning. “I was shocked, just like everybody else was,” Lewis said Thursday. “But they don’t pay me to be the GM.” MORE: 49ers suddenly in RB bind When a 14-year NFL player is taken aback by a draft pick, enough so to publicly comment, it’s notable....

It marked the Cowboys’ fifth consecutive win in the middle of an 11-game unbeaten streak, setting up their NFC-best 13-3 record. The Packers dropped four of their next five after that game before rallying to take the North with six straight victories. MORE: Packers-Cowboys scoreboard Make it seven in a row after the Packers took out the Cowboys’ biggest nemesis, the East runner-up Giants, on wild-card weekend. What does that mean for both teams in the divisional-round rematch?...

ESPN’s Darren Rovell first reported the lawsuit, and TMZ Sports has obtained a copy of it. Stephane Vanel and Kami Rahbaran of Nevada are suing on behalf of “all persons who purchased tickets; purchased the pay-per-view event; or who wagered money on the event.” MORE: Foxx explains National Anthem mishap | Mayweather vs. Pacquiao rematch? “Defendants prior to and at the time the plaintiffs and the class decided to purchase tickets, purchase pay per view showings or wagered on the event the defendants knew and had full knowledge and information that defendant Pacquiao had been seriously injured and was suffering from a torn rotator cuff,” the lawsuit reads, via ESPN....

While Bill Clinton is no FDR, their wives have a surprising amount in common. After learning that FDR died in the company of his onetime mistress, Eleanor never spoke of the matter again. Barbara Walters or Katie Couric will do no better with Hillary, who has never heard a cigar joke (she watches little TV) and is highly unlikely to ever publicly explore her own feelings about her husband’s infidelities....

The Malaysian FA (FAM) technical director Peter De Roo has chastised Pahang for their decision to decline from participating in the 2018 AFC Cup. Kedah were earlier deemed ineligible to take part in the competition although they had ostensibly won a spot as 2017 FA Cup winners, as they failed to secure the AFC club license required to take part in continental club competitions. The spot then went automatically to 2017 Super League runners up Pahang who have secured FAM and AFC licences, but on Tuesday the Elephants issued a statement declining a crack at the competition, with the excuse that they want to concentrate fully on the domestic competitions next season....

Struggling with a hairline fracture in his right thumb, captain Paine led the way with 62 before the tourists – who had resumed on 110-6 – were bowled out for 221 in Johannesburg. Proteas captain Faf du Plessis declined the chance to enforce the follow-on, perhaps mindful Morne Morkel had been off the field with an apparent side strain in the morning session, and instead opted to build on a first-innings lead of 267 by batting again....

Over the decades, Nalanda declined in prominence. In the 12th century it was destroyed by Turkish-Muslim marauders who all but pushed Buddhism out of India. But now, centuries later, political leaders from throughout Asia have joined forces with Nobel-laureate economist Amartya Sen, the Dalai Lama and other notables to rebuild this once great institution. Over the next five years, they plan to spend $1 billion to establish a new Nalanda on a 200-hectare site not far from the old university....

That was before last April 19. As he listened in his car to radio accounts of the Oklahoma City bombing, its enormity sank in. When he heard that Attorney General Janet Reno was looking for prosecutors, Hartzler, 44, decided he had one more big case left in him. “Whoever did this should spend some time in hell,” he told a local defense attorney. “I just want to accelerate that process....

The concern isn’t just about the spike in the disease, but what it could foreshadow for a deadlier epidemic. The sores that mark syphilis increase the risk of HIV transmission two- to fivefold. That people are even contracting syphilis suggests the erosion of safe-sex practices. “Every case of syphilis might mean one more transmission of HIV,” says Dr. Thomas Frieden, New York City’s health commissioner. After a steep decline in the 1990s, syphilis rates rose by 2 percent between 2000 and 2001, from a total of 5,979 cases to 6,103....

Granted, I hardly know anything about game development, and I’m sure changing font sizes can create problems like broken text boxes or worse. I do understand this, and I sympathize, but at the same time, I can adjust the default font sizes on my iPhone—so why do I still have to squint at some of my games? My open plea to mobile game developers is to please consider designing your games around slightly larger default text sizes....

One video documenting the wild brawl was posted on TikTok by user @perfectlynormalvideos and it went viral after it was reposted on Twitter by YouTuber Keemstar. The footage garnered more than seven million views on the platform. In the clip, a woman can be seen holding a beer glass in her mouth while baring it all at Angel Stadium during the Anaheim 1 race. The move seemed to have angered another woman who decided to confront the poser for her offensive actions in the presence of several children among the crowd....
