Five Alabama players were named to the first team, including RB T.J. Yeldon, WR Amari Cooper, OL Cyrus Kouandjio, LB C.J. Mosley and DB Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. In the most interesting choice, Georgia QB Aaron Murray was named to the first team over Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel (second team) and Alabama's AJ McCarron (third team).

Apparently former USC coach Steve Sarkisian texted plays to his former colleague and current Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin during halftime of the New Year’s Eve bowl when Alabama was winning just 10-0.

ODU announced Friday (via the Virginian-Pilot) that Alabama would be joining the camp, already set to be co-hosted by Michigan. Earlier this week, Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban called satellite camps bad for college football and said they were prime for NCAA compliance issues. He also named Jim Harbaugh in the rant.

An associate of the former Special Envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker stated in a Congressional testimony on Tuesday that the White House canceled a routine US naval deployment in the Black Sea after Trump complained to then-national security adviser John Bolton that the operation is “anti-Russian.” This comes at a time when the ongoing withdrawal of U.S. and NATO forces from Afghanistan and, partially, from Syria, leave the U.S. facing a strategic challenge: how to shore up its positions in the Gulf and in Europe’s south-eastern frontier, and to ensure access to Europe’s heartland....

As it turned out, we got lucky. Although the South took $8 billion in damages, that’s nothing compared with what could have been if the hurricane had stayed a category 5. Instead, the eye expanded before Opal made landfall, slowing her down to a category 3. My house and those of my close friends remained unscathed, but if Opal had stayed a 5, I doubt I would be here to write this....

I’m not saying that the clash will end in a draw. Even if that is the Specious One’s method, it doesn’t matter. Everyone, including most Gooners, expects a Chelsea victory. Not this one. Whichever way you slice it, Arsenal win.Okay, so I admit it. I’m playing a bit fast and loose with my terms. Sunday is the battle; what lies beyond is the war. Come Sunday, every pundit, punter, and pussy-footer will have predicted a Chelsea victory, which might come in the form of an actual victory or a draw, each of which further strengthens Chelsea’s death-grip on first-place....

Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League provided probably the best test City have had this season. On the weight of chances created, the Ukrainian champions should have been defeated by a far wider margin than 2-0 at the Etihad. Man City 10/11 to win PL Pep Guardiola must have endured sleepless nights last season when running over the opportunities his side squandered in matches which – arguably – cost them a Premier League title challenge....

Defense attorneys for the white men who chased and killed the 25-year-old Black man as he was running in their neighborhood have been trying to portray Arbery as an aggressive young man with a troubled past during the trial, but the decision has imposed further limits. Superior Court Judge Timothy Walmsley ruled that a registered nurse’s “highly questionable diagnosis” that Arbery suffered from a mental illness during his first and only visit to a mental health services provider in 2018 could unfairly prejudice a jury....

India will start their Asia Cup campaign against minnows Hong Kong on Tuesday followed by the big game against Pakistan. However, the problem for India during the past one year is the lack of a settled middle-order, which was evident during the recent ODI series defeat in England.

The plan for philanthropy was announced on the Airbnb website in a lengthy blog post. It centered around the decision on Chesky’s part to donate. He didn’t reveal the donations anywhere else, including his personal Twitter account. “The women and men on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis are heroes,” a quote from Chesky in the blog post stated. “As we go into the holiday season, many of them will continue to work almost impossibly long hours to serve others and save lives....

Speaking of AJ, there is certainly a lot of backstage heat on her after she joined forces with Layla to attack an unsuspecting Kaitlyn. Besides this, AJ has still not overcome her break up with Dolph Ziggler, and she made her intentions clear costing Ziggler his matches on more then one occasion. As for Langston, his association with AJ has drawn a lot of ire from Dolph Ziggler, who is poised to face the former at SummerSlam even though no official word is out yet....

According to the Auburn Plainsman, McCarron and Webb will participate in a reality show that began filming during the proposal and will run through the planning of the wedding, and even the big day itself. “From what I understood, it came from someone else," Laurie Webb, Katherine's sister said.

Like Brady in 2001, McCarron assumes a team with an established starter set to miss time with injury. It’s well-documented how the future panned out for Brady, with four Super Bowl rings and a bevy of individual awards after taking over for Drew Bledsoe. So to think McCarron has the same destiny seems a bit irrational, but that isn’t what the second-year signal caller was implying.
