Simon & Schuster were originally meant to release the book, though pulled out of this following the events at the Capitol. Hawley bemoaned this as an act of “cancel culture,” threatening to sue over the decision. He is one of a number lawmakers to attribute backlash following the riot to this. Regnery Publishing, which describes itself as “the country’s leading publisher of conservative books,” is now due to publish The Tyranny of Big Tech, as first reported by The Federalist....

This is all true as far as it goes. The problem is that the Journal editorial-page attack that helped make Foster so despondent was not good, aggressive journalism. It was bad, hypocritical journalism, as the columnist Michael Kinsley has shown. The same executive-branch prerogatives that were praised by the journal when George Bush’s counsel asserted them were viewed as near crimes when Clinton’s legal team came in. More broadly, the rationalizers don’t understand how lame they sound to the public....

“I don’t think anybody that was ever there in the locker room with T.J. ever would’ve thought anything like that,” Manziel, who played with Johnson at Texas A&M during the 2012 season, told Northeast Ohio Media Group. MORE: Worst crimes connected to athletes Johnson is accused of hacking a 53-year-old jogger to death with a machete in Dallas on Monday morning.

No doubt it’s difficult to fill six or more hours of air time about sports figures — nope, not having this debate today — who can’t talk so it’s natural that there’s additional focus on betting schemes and live odds. MORE: The biggest long shots to ever win the Kentucky Derby But NBC’s decision to throw former Olympic ice skaters Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir as the derby’s “fashion and lifestyle correspondents” into the mix injected life into a sport generally targeted to the nation’s most privileged viewers....

Johnson was tipped for success in the first major of 2017, having already collected three wins in the season and being sat at the top of the rankings, but a back problem sustained in his rental home forced him to withdraw. Still world number one, the 33-year-old has put that episode behind him and is keen to earn his first green jacket this week. “Coming into last year obviously I was playing very well and it was very disappointing not to be able to play, but it was a year ago, so a lot of things have happened since then,” Johnson said during his media conference....

After directing the first two Iron Man movies and dropping out of directing the third one, Favreau returned to smaller-scale original stories with 2014’s Chef. The world isn’t at stake like it is in Marvel blockbusters – in Chef, the highest-stakes situation is whether or not a Cuban sandwich gets burned – but it’s a wonderful character piece with a poignant balance of comedy and drama.

The former Packers and Seahawks punter is back in the CFL, 14 years after leaving for the States. Playing for his hometown Saskatchewan Roughriders, he dusted off a fake field goal vs. the British Columbia Lions (Ryan was the ‘Hawks’ holder for years). The play didn’t count because of a penalty, but Ryan showed he still has the touch. The Regina native last played for the Seahawks in 2017. Prior to this year, his last CFL experience came with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2005....

“I think it’s more just your body getting back to normal overall,” Nelson said (via ESPN). “If you take a year off from the game, the grind of the season, the recovery every week, all that I think is more part of it than the actual knee, I would assume.” FANTASY: Week 10 rankings | Sleepers Nelson has 38 receptions for 509 yards and seven touchdowns through eight games, but he has lost a lot of the speed that made him dangerous before the injury....

The Special One ready for Premier League return Pochettino, who was appointed by the north London outfit in 2014, consistently guided the club to top-four finishes in the Premier League and oversaw their incredible journey to the Champions League final last season. The 47-year-old, however, failed to replicate the success of his previous campaigns in the new season, taking only 14 points from 12 matches in the English top-flight.

Manchester City won the Premier League title and the last season under Manuel Pellegrini while Arsenal won the FA Cup under Arsene Wenger, finally putting an end to the trophy drought. But Mourinho failed to win any trophy in his return to Stamford Bridge. The Blues manager was asked whether he was under pressure to win trophies, considering Roman Abramovich’s reputation for firing managers who don’t deliver. “Why? Some managers have 10 years to win something,” he said in an obvious dig at Arsenal’s trophyless seasons under Wenger....

While more moderate Republicans have sought to pull the party back towards the center, Hawley is among those seeking to capitalize on anger and confusion among Trump’s base to position himself for a future presidential run. But straw polls taken at this weekend’s Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, suggests that Hawley’s gamble is not paying off. Just 3 percent of respondents chose Hawley as their favored 2024 candidate, far behind favorites Trump on 55 percent and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on 21 percent....

The former Panthers cornerback sat down with ESPN’s Mike and Mike, where he compared his five-year, $75 million deal with the Redskins to receiving the holy grail of engagement rings: a Tiffany’s rock.

This is Joshna’s third straight loss to the 30-year-old since October last year. Their match at the quarter-finals of the Qatar Classic in November was a thriller in which the Indian was edged in five gruelling games. Indian challenge ends at the Tournament of Champions. The 14-time national champion gave a tough fight to the fifth seed and closed in at 8-9 in the third game. But the Amr Shabana-coached Kawy was too strong and didn’t give Chinappa any opportunity after that....

The undefeated Joshua was originally slated to fight Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller, but the latter failed a trio of drug tests, forcing Ruiz to take his place. It will be Joshua’s first fight since he knocked out Alexander Povetkin last September. Ruiz (32-1) will still present a big challenge for Joshua. He has won 21 career fights by technical knockout and was most recently victorious a little over a month ago on April 20 when he beat Alexander Dimitrenko....

According to the ACLU, the five journalists, Bing Guan, Mark Abramson, Kitra Cahana, Go Nakamura, and Ariana Drehsler, are all U.S. citizens and professional photojournalists that had been reporting on conditions at the U.S.-Mexico border when they were “targeted” by government officials. The lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, asserts that on “multiple separate occasions,” U.S. government officials demanded that the journalists participate in a “secondary screening” at the border and requested that they disclose information about their sources....

Originally making its console debut on the PS3 and later ported to PS4, Journey made its PC debut last June on the Epic Games Store, where it had an additional year-long exclusivity. The game was one of many console ports that Epic Games grabbed an exclusivity deal with during the store’s unveiling, some of which included games like Rebel Galaxy, Heavy Rain and Ashen. The exclusivity deals were a hot topic at the time with fan outrage on having to sign up for another storefront on PC just to gain access to certain games, where Steam has dominated the marketplace for a number of years....
