Fairlamb was captured on video shoving and punching an officer outside the Capitol on January 6. Facing 30 years in prison, Fairlamb pleaded guilty to obstructing an official proceeding and assaulting an officer, two of the 12 charges against him, and prosecutors asked the judge to sentence him to 44 months in prison. Ahead of the sentencing, Fairlamb addressed the court, calling his behavior “irresponsible” and “reckless.” “I’ve had 10 months to replay everything from that day … I take full responsibility for what I did that day....

The Spurs star is among the contenders to lead the Three Lions in Russia this summer, with a full-time successor to Wayne Rooney yet to be appointed. Gareth Southgate has opted to rotate the armband during his tenure, with Kane having skippered the side on four occasions.

Yet the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld war machine presses ahead for a war resolution on Capitol Hill. Democrats originally wanted to put off the vote until after Election Day, arguing that it was too important to be treated like a political football. They lost that battle. Now they want a quick vote on the theory that they can then get back to domestic issues. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and other key Democrats made a valiant attempt on Thursday to return the national conversation to the faltering economy, but with protestors interrupting Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s testimony before a House committee with antiwar chants, Iraq continues to claim center stage, for better or worse....

In what would have been a “wet a** performance” the rapper went viral for her joke, painting a hilarious image of the sexually explicit hit being sung at such a stoic and historical event. “Ugh I was supposed to perform wap at the inauguration today but I had a dentist appointment ….maybe next time,” she joked. The joke quickly went viral, garnering almost 75,000 likes at the time of publishing....

Cardi B and fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion performed their hit single “WAP” at the Grammy ceremony. The song, whose title is an acronym for “Wet A** P***y,” received substantial criticism from Republicans and right-wing commentators last year, as they viewed the song as “vulgar” and “immoral.” During Thursday remarks from the House floor, Grothman said the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) should have blocked the Grammy performance. “I’ve received complaints in my office, and rightfully so, about Cardi B and the Grammys....

With the Cardinals attempting a two-point conversion late in the third quarter against the Vikings, Kyler Murray tried to link up with Hopkins on a slant route. The throw was a little low and Hopkins couldn’t haul it in, but he was leveled by Vikings safety Harrison Smith in what looked like clear helmet-to-helmet contact. With the NFL’s emphasis on eliminating helmet-to-helmet hits, Hopkins would like some clarification. MORE: J....

Gibson, 83, sent a memo to all living Hall of Famers that he was undergoing treatment for the disease, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. Gibson’s agent, Dick Zitzmann, also said that Gibson had visited Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore and currently is hospitalized in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. He’s expected to begin treatment for chemotherapy Monday. “We all know what a competitor he is,” Zitzmann said.

The Cardinals’ quarterback room has suffered major blows in back-to-back weeks, with Colt McCoy exiting Sunday’s game against the Broncos a week after Kyler Murray tore his ACL during “Monday Night Football.” McCoy entered Arizona’s Week 14 loss to the Patriots immediately after Murray’s injury and got the start Sunday, but he was diagnosed with a concussion and ruled out for the day after diving head-first on a run....

St. Louis was held scoreless through the first four frames while Washington built an early 3-0 lead. But, Harrison Bader hit a home run over the center-field fence and the rest of the scoring followed. Marcell Ozuna, José Martínez and Yadier Molina all recorded at least one RBI and Matt Carpenter came home on a wild pitch to move St. Louis in front. MORE: Watch ‘ChangeUp,’ a new MLB live whiparound show on DAZN...

The last time these two teams played each other, the 49ers smacked the Cardinals 38-10 on Monday Night Football in Week 11 in Mexico City. Jimmy Garoppolo was still the starting quarterback at the time for San Francisco and had one of his best games this season (20/29, 228 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs). Heading into this week’s matchup, the 49ers will look for rookie quarterback Brock Purdy to have another solid performance under center and lead them to their 10th consecutive win....

There is appeal to adding Lackey, to be sure, as the 35-year-old right-hander pitched well for the world champion Red Sox last year, and has gone 11-7 with a 3.60 ERA and 3.56 FIP this year. Lackey also has a contract option for a league-minimum salary for next year, because he missed the 2012 season recovering from Tommy John surgery. It’s that contract option that made Lackey so appealing on the trade market, but the Cardinals gave up a much younger, almost equally cheap, and more versatile pitcher in Kelly, who has gone 2-2 with a 4....

The long-time Canadiens goaltender has rightfully earned his place toward the top of hockey’s goaltending discussion. He’s a league MVP winner, a Vezina recipient and his name is included in a number of record books for the NHL and Montreal. But every great story has an ending, and it feels like Price’s journey is coming to a close in the near future. The 35-year-old spoke with the Montreal media on Monday, detailing his plans for his playing future....

I remember when Ford went back to Congress for the first time as the new president. It was a State of the Union speech, or its equivalent, and the warmth with which he greeted his former House colleagues was a very moving, touching expression by him. He had a sense of modesty that people who love the House develop. He was a man of the House. He became a president....
