Blake Bortles, who went No. 3 overall to the Jaguars, had been the great hope after Johnny Manziel failed and Teddy Bridgewater fell. But thanks to a disastrous training camp and an even worse preseason so far, Bortles has forced Jacksonville’s hand to find a different starting QB, stat. MORE: Where Bortles ranks among QBs For now, that’s backup Chad Henne, back in the competition. But another rumored solution to the situation is, ironically, a QB taken in the 2014 fifth round by another feline football team, the Bengals’ AJ McCarron....

One important driver of rising food prices is getting lost in the conversation—and it’s important that we pay attention because things will only get much worse. Agriculture produces almost everything we eat and drink, and because it is wholly reliant on the weather, it is one of the most sensitive sectors in our entire global economy to climate change. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, and every new season brings greater risks that disaster will strike a significant producing area of some crop, somewhere....

Teams had one more Saturday practice planned, the proverbial happy hour at 2:30 p.m. ET. Kurt Busch, for one, needed the work after damaging his car. MORE: 10 drivers to watch at Fontana | Sunday’s starting lineup | Cup’s closest finishes Edwards turned the fastest lap in Saturday’s early practice, 187.906 mph on the two-mile track at Auto Club Speedway.

While 18 percent of individuals surveyed said they planned to submit mail-in ballots, 45 percent said they intended to vote in-person during Georgia’s designated early voting period, and 32 percent said they would vote in-person on Election Day....

It’s not clear why Fitzpatrick didn’t renew his lease on the home in Chatham, a posh Morris County suburb, but one way or another he is moving, no matter how his months-long contract stalemate with the Jets is resolved. MORE: AFC division-by-division predictions Hilary Taylor, the house’s listing agent, told NJ.com that it has been a rental property for several years, and an online listing shows that the 7,700-square-foot, $9,500 per month house became available for rent on July 15....

The new tactic comes in the wake of the voting rights failure that Democrats say is urgently needed to protect democracy from Republican attacks on the ballot box, and after some Democratic donors to Sinema warned in a January letter that her inaction would lead them to abandon her and ask for their money back. Ian Danley, the executive director of Arizona Wins, a coalition of more than 30 progressive groups — including LUCHA Arizona, Mi Familia Vota, Our Voice Our Vote and others — knocked on two million doors for Sinema, and together they spent $20 million during the last cycle....

Foreign clubs can negotiate with Sanchez in January with the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich interested.

A move to Madrid is reportedly of interest to Sanchez but he has put forth two conditions....

The Gunners last managed to finish in the top four in the 2015-16 season when they ended on second, 10 points adrift of champions Leicester City. Arsenal have struggled since then and Arteta has only managed two back-to-back eighth-placed finishes since taking charge at the Emirates. On that note, let’s take a look at the top Arsenal transfer news from 23 June 2021.

With confidence soaring high, the Gunners will aim to continue their 100% start to the European season against a formidable side that is on six points from their three matches.

Here are 5 major talking points ahead of the big game: #1 Can Emery make a statement of intent? What better way to announce your arrival in the Premier League than by beating the current record-breaking champions. While the prospect of that happening may sound mouth-watering to Emery(and Arsenal fans alike) it’s going to take a special performance to turn that into reality, and even that may not cut it....

Arsenal sit atop the Premier League table with the one loss to Manchester United the only blemish in an otherwise perfect 2022/23 season thus far. Tottenham, meanwhile, sit just a point back in third after a similarly positive start to the season, unbeaten through seven league matches. They pummeled hapless Leicester City 6-2 last time out, while wins over scrappy Fulham and Wolves prove they can grind matches out as well....

Arsenal are set to miss out on Champions League qualification via the Premier League for the second season in a row, the Gunners sitting sixth in the table. But winning the Europa League would earn Arsenal a return to the continent’s premier club competition in 2018-19. Wenger’s position has come under threat even though the veteran Frenchman has a year remaining on his contract at Emirates Stadium. And Lacazette - who has scored two goals on Arsenal’s run to the semi-finals - has targeted the Europa League as a way to secure Wenger’s future....

She also unfastened one of her children’s seatbelts before take-off.

That distorted view of life—turning what most might consider awful into something romantic and positive—pervades Lynch’s work, from his feature films to his art. Though fans of such dark and disturbing movies as “The Elephant Man,” “Blue Velvet” and “Mulholland Drive”—or the cult TV series “Twin Peaks”—may be surprised to know what a talented painter and photographer Lynch is, they will not be surprised by the jarring perspective in his work....

It is not surprising for Pokemon fans to make callbacks to the older pixel graphics titles of the video game series. After all, these were what started the whole Pokemon trend and global fascination with the pocket creatures. Members of the Pokemon community regularly put their adoration for the pixel titles into fan art and original content. Some fans make their own visualizations of new generation Pokemon as Gen 1 sprites, and one fan even started a project to recreate the Kanto region solely out of LEGO bricks....

These changes may serve to undermine Biden’s message of multilateralism and an attempt to establish a collective front against climate change. Nearly a year into the new administration, Biden has not yet repaired severed ties with Cuba or Iran, nor has he backed down from a confrontational stance toward the United States’ global competitor, China. And the manner in which a recent nuclear submarine deal with Australia and the United Kingdom was handled drew comparisons to Trump from spurned ally France....
