From the crack of the bat to the roar of the crowd, it seemed like Judge’s towering blast off Matt Barnes was going to walk off the Red Sox in a 4-4 game. Instead, the 2-2 blast fell harmlessly into the glove of Kiké Hernandez for the second out of the inning. This was after a game of frustration for the Yankee faithful, with Judge having walked in three of his first four at-bats, a carry-over from Wednesday when he was walked on four pitches by the Pirates....

We look at the other players ahead of him as Aaron Rodgers looks to climb the ladder further. Where does Aaron Rodgers rank for the most passing yards in NFL history?

“My initial thought was I popped my Achilles’,” the Green Bay quarterback said Tuesday on his weekly ESPN Milwaukee radio show. “That’s why I kind of stayed down. It was a very painful sensation.” Rodgers missed a couple series after suffering the injury in the second quarter but returned in the second half to lead Green Bay to the NFC North title. A torn Achilles’ tendon would have been a season-ending injury with possible implications for Rodgers’ future....

But, he points out, the players can only blame themselves for giving the league and commissioner Roger Goodell too much power in the latest collective bargaining agreement (CBA) from 2011. MORE: Players sitting out is the only way to curb NFL’s power “We have nobody to blame but ourselves because we had the opportunity in the CBA to make some legitimate changes to that,” Rodgers said Wednesday on the Jim Rome Show....

The Rodgers rumor mill has once again begun to churn, with recent reports indicating the 39-year-old quarterback could be on his way out of Green Bay this offseason. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport continued to stoke the flames on a Monday appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.” Rapoport says the Packers could move on from Rodgers this offseason, as long as the asking price is met:...

Conte pays respect to Wenger’s Arsenal career The Russian billionaire came to watch three first-team training sessions in a row in September and had a few lunch meetings with Conte at Cobham Training Centre after the loss. Conte decided to switch to a 3-4-3 formation after the defeat and drilled his players in the new formation which led to a 13-match winning run across the autumn and winter fixtures. The Blues manager revealed that Abramovich never lost faith in him and said that he was supportive as Conte overhauled the team’s tactics....

The freshman wasn’t making loud proclamations or trying to get any attention. He was speaking truth, in a refreshingly honest way. “We’re hungry,” he told Sporting News. “We want to make a statement to the tournament committee that we belong.” MORE: Field of 68 projection | Draft Street: Sign up for bracket game And he wasn’t talking about the just-completed win over the Demon Deacons. That one wouldn’t move the needle inside the committee’s room in Indianapolis, and everyone knew that....

For the moment, at least, it was a bluff. The allies knew that if they withdraw from Bosnia, the United States would be free to do exactly what the Europeans fear – bomb the Serbs and arm the Muslims – which could wreck NATO and widen the war. The threat to pull out the United Nations ““protection force’’ was not aimed solely at the Republicans; it was also a warning to both the Muslims and the Serbs....

The most optimistic view holds that the divorce rate has pretty much stabilized-and may even continue to dip. Today’s generation of young adults is the first to emerge from the period in which the number of divorces in America rose sharply, from about 400,000 in 1960 to roughly 1.1 million a since the mid-’70s. Some experts believe that these young people, knowing the pain of their parents’ divorces, will fight harder for their own marriages....

On the flip side, in-store visits dropped by 52 percent on Black Friday this year from last, according to retail tracker Sensormatic Solutions. Aside from cautious shoppers, this decline could also be attributed in part to retailers trying to downsize crowds by cutting store hours and limiting “doorbuster deals” of past years. Sensormatic reported physical store traffic was particularly down in the Northeast and West, as compared to the Midwest and South....

The understandable reaction in places like Bondy is fear. “People are scared,” says Levy, who works as a secretary for the municipal sports association. And while tremors have swept through all the “foreign” communities, many of the 400 Jewish families among Bondy’s 47,000 residents see themselves potentially besieged. Like other Jews in France, especially those in immigrant neighborhoods, they are feeling the brunt of what some call “the new anti-Semitism....

It is high-cost. Tito is expected to pay at least $20 million for a nine-day trip. His deal is with MirCorp, a private firm set up to attract funds for the financially troubled space station. An aerospace engineer who made millions in financial consulting, Tito would be the oldest first-time astronaut ever. “I’ve wanted to go to space ever since the launch of Sputnik [in 1957],” says Tito. Bon voyage....

Rabbani initially blasted the Bonn accord establishing an interim government in Afghanistan but has since toned down his fiery rhetoric–even giving interim president Hamid Karzai a hug on his inauguration day. The main reason for Rabbani’s appeasement: the appointment of members of his Jamiat-e-Islami party to top posts in the defense, foreign and interior ministries. Nonetheless, many analysts believe Rabbani could be the first warlord to return to arms if he believes things are not going his way....

Three years ago, while I was working as a prosecuting attorney, I took a year’s leave of absence to pursue a goal I’d had since college: to volunteer in a developing country. During the year in Tanzania, I made several discoveries that ultimately led me to change careers when I returned home. In Africa I worked on research proposals with several Tanzanian attorneys, including Julius, a struggling public-interest lawyer at the East Africa Law Society....

While sharing his opinion on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra almost ruled out the possibility of staging the IPL in India, due to the rising COVID-19 cases in the country. He added that the staging of the IPL would be dependent on two factors - the ICC deciding that the T20 World Cup cannot be played this year and the IPL governing council arriving at a window to stage the cash-rich league....
