Will Keim select quarterback Kyler Murray, or stick with quarterback Josh Rosen and select one of the top defenders — likely Nick Bosa? Or will he trade out of the top spot?

But that’s where the Arizona Cardinals (2-3) and Carolina Panthers (1-4) find themselves. As a result, their Week 8 game in Charlotte has been removed as a nationally televised late-afternoon game. The game scheduled for Oct. 30 was changed from a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff to a 1 p.m. start, the NFL and Fox Sports announced Wednesday.

Nothing. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Move along, nothing to see here. In the history of the World Series, there have been 10 other opening games decided by seven or more runs. The losing team from those Game 1 blowouts came back to win four times. Take away the 1919 Cincinnati Reds, who won Game 1 by a 9-1 score against a Chicago White Sox team that was losing on purpose, and it's four out of nine....

The Spaniard’s 6-4 2-6 7-6 (1) 6-3 win over Casper Ruud in the 2022 US Open men’s final has seen him not only win a Grand Slam title as a teenager but also become the youngest ever men’s world number one. Following Daniil Medvedev’s early exit from Flushing Meadows, top spot was up for grabs for both Alcaraz and Ruud in the US Open final. While Ruud more than held his own and also committed a great act of sportsmanship, it was Alcaraz that would ultimately prevail in the title match....

Death returned to Rwanda last week-this time at Kibeho, the largest of nine refugee camps established by the French Army to protect Hutu civilians fleeing from the Rwandan Patriotic Army. For months, Rwanda’s Tutsi-led government had complained that the camps had become sanctuaries for Hutu guerrillas. In early April the army moved in to close them and return the inhabitants to their villages. But on April 22, things went horribly wrong....

Next week’s dances are all Disney themed, which means the whole night will feature their iconic songs. Baskin’s Lion King choice appears to be the closest to tiger content possible, or at least to something that represents the importance of animal lives. Fans know Baskin from Netflix’s Tiger King. She owns and operates Big Cat Rescue, a facility for tigers and other animals who have been treated badly in captivity throughout their lives....

In a lengthy Instagram post on Friday, the 29-year-old Dane, who claimed grand slam glory at Melbourne Park in 2018, said she had “accomplished everything I could ever dream of on the court.” Last year, Wozniacki revealed she had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that causes swelling of the joints and fatigue. However, she insisted her retirement was not due to health reasons, but rather her desire to focus on a series of matters away from tennis....

Carrasco showed real promise in his first two seasons at Atletico following a move from Monaco, particularly in his second campaign when he scored 10 times in La Liga. But he struggled for consistency this term, starting just eight times in the first half of the season and when Dalian Yifang came calling, the Belgian made the move to China. Still just 24, some criticised Carrasco for not sticking around to fight for his place in Spain, while others suggested his career would suffer by playing in the Super League....

That all changed with the debut of “Space Ghost: Coast to Coast” in 1994. “SGC2C,” as its fans call it, was a slice of grown-up fun. Space Ghost himself had been the star of his own straight-forward Hanna-Barbera cartoon a generation ago. But this time around, the animators gave him a David Letterman-style talk show to host. On every episode, he would try in vain to conduct intelligent interviews with celebrities as diverse as Jerry Springer, Sarah Jessica Parker and Radiohead’s Thom Yorke....

But the real question is what will happen then. The dilemma facing the Cuban people—not just those who live on the island but those in Mexico, Spain, Miami or New Jersey—is whether the Pearl of the Antilles will finally join the rest of Latin America or continue to be a singular exception, as it has been for most of the last two centuries. For all of the 19th century, Cuba remained a Spanish colony while the rest of the Americas broke free....
