Jones endured a torrid time in United’s 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in May, giving away a decisive first-half penalty that was dispatched by Eden Hazard.

A master tactician and a serial winner, it is easy to see just why Chelsea fans were so desperate for Mourinho to return, once he had announced he was leaving Real Madrid. A Champions League semi-final and a 3rd place finish, followed by a canter to the league title last season further enhanced his reputation among the already adoring support.

The titular demon barber will be played by none other than the “You Raise Me Up” singer, who has long adored the score of the show. He even had a dog named Sweeney up until 2020. “I was not ever a song-and-dance man, so for me to have roles that were cerebral and were gritty and interesting—and baritone—these were roles I felt I could really sink my teeth into,” Groban told The New York Times in an interview....
And evidently, the play was as bad as it looked. Cleveland confirmed on Twitter that Naylor “suffered a closed fracture and dislocation of the right ankle” in the team’s 8-2 loss to the Twins. Naylor remained in Minnesota while the injury was being evaluated. The good news about the “closed fracture” is that it means there wasn’t a puncture wound from the injury. Still, Naylor will almost certainly be out long-term, and that’s not a surprise considering how bad the injury looked in real-time....

While speaking on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Reid insisted that Biden’s comments were far from the worst thing a president could say. During a press event Monday afternoon, Doocy asked whether Biden thought inflation would be a “political liability” in the upcoming midterms. “It’s a great asset, more inflation. What a stupid son of a b****,” Biden said sarcastically into a hot microphone. The president later apologized for the remark and spoke to Doocy about it in a telephone call....

During a segment during WWE Backstage, insider Ryan Satin announced that Gargano was “not medically cleared” to compete in his proposed match with Finn Balor at TakeOver: WarGames due to a neck injury. The injury bug strikes again After Balor made a shocking return to NXT on its debut on USA, many thought that Balor would resume being the smiling babyface that everyone loved.

Marvel’s movie subtitles, from The First Avenger to Endgame, tend to be pretty straightforward....
In his tweet, Jon Jones argued that he had moved up in weight to compete against a lot more difficult competition in Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou.
