The official story-that sole responsibility rests with one presidential adviser, who resigned, and three top civil servants, who were fired-has proven less than convincing to France’s opinion makers. THE STATE GONE MAD, headlined the left-leaning daily Liberation, while the conservative Figaro remarked on the “incoherences of the official version....

Lawrence – a 6-foot-6, 220-pound junior, has been compared to former No. 1 picks such as John Elway, Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck throughout his college career. Lawrence has led Clemson to back-to-back College Football Playoff championship appearances, and the Tigers are ranked No. 1 in the AP Poll heading into October. So, “Tank for Trevor” is a thing, and there is a case to be made for Lawrence by almost every team in the NFL....

When Joe Burrow put together his historic Heisman Trophy season in 2019, Lawrence had already led Clemson to a national championship. Even when Patrick Mahomes took over as the Chiefs’ starter in 2018, Lawrence was on the national radar as a true freshman with the Tigers. The Jaguars quarterback has been a national name dating back to his historic high school career, when he overpowered the competition and put himself in the early running to be a future No....

The Baltimore Orioles, meanwhile, aren’t letting a chase for a wild card spot knock them off-course in their rebuild. They unloaded Mancini for Seth Johnson (No. 6 in the Rays organization), who is due to receive Tommy John surgery, and Chayce McDermott, the No. 12 prospect in the Astros organization. The Rays, for their part, will receive Jose Siri, a center fielder who impressed in 21 games last year but has struggled in his second season, hitting ....

‘Totti is not a hero - he’s a God!’ The Italy international’s 25-year career appeared set to end after new sporting director Monchi said he would be retiring at the end of the season.

WEYMOUTH: What are your plans as president? LULA: Although Brazil is a country with extraordinary potential, 50 million people live below the poverty line. Brazil is not a poor country but a country with social inequities, and this is a major issue. The wealth has been concentrated in the hands of a few. So we have made a commitment to reach out to the poorest [sectors]. There are high expectations and you’ve promised to create jobs....

NANCY KERRIGAN IS NO WEAK SISTER. Ever since she lost the world championship in Prague last March, everyone has been saying she has a fragile psyche. They’re wrong. Since she was attacked Nancy has kept it all together. She’s confused about why this happened, but she’s not thinking much about it. When I speak to her on the phone she sounds great, she sounds up, like the Nancy we know, and that’s what’s so encouraging....

Speaking on SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio from the hospital, Bohn, 42, said Monday that he had no idea he was as close to a fatal heart attack as he was at last week’s Honda Classic. “My doctors all have told me that had I passed out or gone down on the golf course that they really don’t think they would have had time to get the proper blood thinners in me — and put the stent in that they were able to do — in time,” he said....

“I think it’s known that I want to do things differently and bring more attention to track and field,” Vessey, who has two World Championship appearances, told Sporting News. “It made a lot of sense to put a team together that represented that approach. Having a team like Wasserman, that’s really on top of their game professionally, will really help me realize the different goals that I have.” Keflezighi represents Olympic silver medalists Meb Keflezighi (Athens 2004, Marathon) and Leo Manzano (London 2012, 1,500-meters)....

The Pixel is a refinement and upgrade from TrackR’s Bravo, a keyring-sized device that I’ve been testing and using for over a year now. One of the attractions of the Bravo was that – unlike its major rival, the Tile Mate– it had a replaceable battery. However, I found the Bravo unreliable and that batteries would last mere weeks rather than the year or so promised. TrackR assured me the Pixel was an all-new device that had no such reliability issues....
