’Utd & Arsenal are Chelsea’s main rivals’ But they have nobody but themselves to blame for an aimless, characterless performance against Hull City which ensured they made nothing of the batch of results which had gone their way elsewhere. The 0-0 draw at the Theatre of Dreams was a reminder of why they fell to sixth spot in the first place. Unable to find a cohesive style of play to open up committed yet rudimentary defending, Jose Mourinho will have to answer questions with more than just glib statements about factors not going his way....

The data released Tuesday also states that 142 active duty airmen have been “administratively separated” as of Monday afternoon. The Marine Corps is the only other military service that has approved religious exemptions, granting three so far, according to the Associated Press. The Air Force data states that 97.8 percent of active duty airmen are fully vaccinated, and combined with reserve and National Guard members, the Air Force is 96 percent vaccinated overall....

In the third game on the first day of the Emirates D20, Ajman will go up against Team Abu Dhabi. It will be the second game of the day for Team Abu Dhabi, who face ECB Blues in their Emirates D20 tournament opener. Both the teams will look to make good starts to their campaigns in the Emirates D20. These two teams did not do well in the Emirates D10 tournament that was played in July-August earlier this year....

CR7 & Messi: The changing face of football The Netherlands defender is one of Chelsea’s main targets but progress is slow, with Southampton reluctant to enter talks at this stage in the transfer market. Conte is keen to bring in a world-class defender and would like to see Juventus’ Leonardo Bonucci alongside Van Dijk, but no deal is imminent. Instead, Chelsea are focusing their negotiating efforts on a striker, midfielder and wing-back for the time being....

Bradley began obliquely, asking Gore whether he thought “consistency on fundamental issues of principle is important.” Gore, knowing that Bradley was coming crabwise to the subject of abortion, said, “I’ve always supported Roe v. Wade. I have always supported a woman’s right to choose.” Then he said: “Now it’s true that early in my career I wrestled with the question of what kinds of exceptions should be allowed to the general rule that Medicaid should also pay for this procedure....

Gore still has his hands full with Bill Bradley. The Democratic insurgent continued last week to hammer away at Gore’s zigzagging record on abortion and gun control. And late last week basketball icon Michael Jordan kicked in a TV ad endorsing the former Knick. But with polls showing the vice president with commanding leads over Bradley nationally and in battleground states such as California, Gore has begun to hone the message he would take into a fall campaign against either George W....

OK, yes, we know this is only the second year of the second wild-card era. Still, Tuesday’s game at Kauffman Stadium was pretty darn entertaining, so we’ll go with that designation for the moment. MORE: Must-see photos | Brutal ending for A’s | Yost’s decision | Postseason schedule “That’s the most incredible game I’ve ever been a part of,” Royals manager Ned Yost told reporters. Quick recap of the scoring in regulation: Oakland led, 2-1, after the first inning....

Recruits have a 72-hour period to sign to their school of choice, and several teams got a head start on putting together a five-star class. Here is a look at some of the schools that won on Day 1 of the early signing period: MORE: Biggest signings in 2019 class — so far Schools Alabama Remember when the Tide slipped all the way down to No. 5 in 2018?

As of Monday, there were at least 916 coronavirus patients in state hospitals, up from 179 at the beginning of July. That marks a 411 percent increase in just over three weeks, and the highest rate of hospitalization since February, WSFA reported. The seven-day average of daily new cases in Alabama has also tripled over the last two weeks, rising from 472 new cases a day on July 10 to 1,495 on Saturday, according to data from Johns Hopkins University....

The Crimson Tide, fresh off winning coach Nick Saban’s second undefeated national championship, will look to replace receivers DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle, running back Najee Harris, quarterback Mac Jones, cornerback Patrick Surtain II and defensive lineman Christian Barmore, among others. That is a significant amount of talent to replace, even for a Saban-coached team. It certainly doesn’t help that Alabama is once again having to replace several key coaches, including offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian (Texas head coach), offensive line coach Kyle Flood (Texas offensive coordinator), special teams coordinator Jeff Banks (Texas special teams coordinator), cornerbacks coach Karl Scott (Vikings defensive backs coach) and running backs coach Charles Huff (Marshall head coach)....

Monoclonal antibodies have shown to be beneficial in helping to keep people out of the hospital. The treatment’s becoming more commonplace, and in Alabama, which leads the U.S. in COVID-19 cases and has a low vaccination rate, plans to expand access to the treatment had to be put on hold because of a notification from Health and Human Services (HHS). An announcement from the HHS put monoclonal antibody treatments on temporary allocation for every state....

The AP Poll has released its preseason top 25 rankings, another reminder of how close the 2018 season is. MORE: Composite preseason top 25 rankings To the surprise of no one, Alabama is once again ranked atop the AP’s poll, with 42 of 61 possible first-place votes. No. 2 Clemson (18 first-place votes), No. 3 Georgia, No. 4 Wisconsin and No. 5 Ohio State round out the top five teams....

However, the Seminoles received more first-place votes in the weekly rankings. The AP poll otherwise fell in line with this week’s coaches poll in its top 10. After the top two came Oregon, with five first-place votes; TCU and Baylor.

As founder and CEO Ryan Spaccavento explained on one of HubSpot’s podcasts (full disclosure: Coffee on Cue is a HubSpot customer), he had to act quickly: “I went into the office Sunday afternoon. I took my dog Fred. We sat in there. I cracked a beer, and I launched our website, and within two and a half hours, I’d done the MVP.” The MVP was a new direct-to-consumer model for selling their coffee beans online....

During Monday’s rally in New Hampshire, Trump told the crowd that Pelosi had been mumbling throughout his speech, distracting him. “On Tuesday, I delivered my address on the State of the Union and I had somebody behind me who was mumbling terribly, mumbling,” Trump said. “There was mumbling. Very distracting. Very distracting.” The crowd replied by chanting “Lock her up,” a common chant at Trump rallies. However, in this case, it was about Pelosi rather than the chant’s usual target, former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton....
