At least the subject didn’t come up with coach John Calipari until he’d fielded seven questions about basketball. “What was your reaction when you saw Willie for the first time after his trip to the barbershop?” a reporter asked. “There’s two things I said I’m not,” Calipari answered. “I’m not the tattoo police and I’m not the hair police.

Nutritionally, plantains pack a huge punch. They are naturally low in sodium, high in potassium, and rich in antioxidants. Plantains cannot be eaten raw but, when cooked, can be used for both sweet or savory dishes. Fully ripened plantains taste sweet like starchy bananas, whereas green plantains taste similar to potatoes or taro root. Plantains are popular among tropical home cooks because of their versatility, convenience, and low cost. Regardless of the stage of ripeness, plantains are always ready to be cooked....
Cam Newton and J.J. Watt, you have been warned. The Titans’ Mike Mularkey and players like the Bengals’ Andy Dalton are here to protect the world from you. They’re standing on the wall, saying nobody’s gonna dance or trash-talk here, not on our watch. MORE: Texans-Bengals: 5 things we learned | Cam Newton’s the cure | J.J. Watt’s joke was corny, and Dalton blew it In their defense, though, the NFL should be happy that the public is rolling their eyes and shaking their heads at the powerful blend of tone-deafness, pomposity and lack of self-awareness exhibited by Mularkey and the other Newton critics, and by Dalton and the others wagging a finger at Watt....
Newton was withdrawn in the fourth quarter of New England’s 33-6 NFL defeat to San Francisco, having thrown three interceptions for the slumping Patriots. A three-time Pro Bowler, former MVP Newton joined the Patriots on a one-year deal following his Carolina Panthers exit to replace legendary quarterback Tom Brady – who left for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After finishing nine-of-15 for 98 yards as the Patriots fell to 2-4 following a third consecutive defeat, Newton told Boston sports radio station WEEI on Monday: “The first thing I said to myself coming home was, ‘You keep playing games like that, bro, and it’s going to be a permanent change’....
Derek Anderson was under center to start the game for the Panthers instead of Cam Newton. As if that wasn’t strange enough, Anderson’s pass to Mike Tolbert on the first play from scrimmage bounced off the fullback’s hands, resulting in an interception deep in Carolina territory. The turnover led to a Seahawks’ field goal. PLAYOFF PICTURE: Cowboys, Raiders looking good at No. 1 There was no prior explanation for why Newton would not be starting, but reports on the reasoning behind the benching began to trickle out after the first drive....
Kyle Allen, a second-year quarterback who went undrafted in 2018, will start in Newton’s place. Newton re-aggravated a left foot sprain in Week 2 against the Buccaneers and has not practiced this week. He initially injured his foot during the preseason, forcing him to miss nearly a week of practice. The veteran was in a walking boot in the locker room Thursday, but his prognosis beyond this week is not clear....
That’s Sunday in Los Angeles against a Rams defense still coordinated by Gregg Williams. FANTASY: Week 9 QB rankings | Waiver wire pickups The Panthers quarterback, fresh off expressing concern for his safety and frustration over not getting roughing calls, better brace himself for some cheap shots to the head and legs.

“Even in the best of lives, mistakes are made,” said an abject Ellis. It turned out that while the eminent historian had served in the Army, he’d spent his war years not in the jungles of Southeast Asia, but teaching history at West Point. He’d also overstated his role in the antiwar movement and even his high-school athletic record. His admission shocked colleagues, fellow historians and students who wondered why someone so accomplished would embellish his past....
