As first pointed out by Mark Schofield of soshcentral.com, the discussion came up during a game between the Patriots and Packers. During the Nov. 30 matchup, Jim Nantz and Phil Simms brought up a discussion they had with Aaron Rodgers. MORE: Gronk takes blame for deflated ball Here’s a transcript of their conversation: The key to take out of that conversation is Rodgers telling Simms, “I like to push the limit to how much air we can put in the football, even go over what they allow you to do and see if the officials take air out of it....

The Packers quarterback is gearing up to follow a kick-ass 2021 season with another, and, in truly Aaron Rodgers fashion, is doing it in his own personal flavor. On arrival to training camp, Rodgers did his best Nicolas Cage impersonation, as he was dressed as Cameron Poe, the protagonist of cult-classic film “Con Air.” Now, Rodgers will be in something of a face-off with Cage himself: The passer randomly received a bust of the famed actor, which is now prominently displayed in his locker....

Well, apparently, the answer to that is ‘drink tequila’. Rodgers was doing an interview in Spanish for ESPN Deportes following the 35-17 win against the Detroit Lions during Monday night, and he was asked to give Señor Cheesehead’s sombrero to Aaron Jones, his nephew. Rodgers hilariously responded that Jones could have the sombrero as long as the quarterback had the tequila. Winning the game is always a good feeling and that’s not the first time that the quarterback speaks Spanish during a Monday Night Football broadcast....

Fall and Rise uses firsthand accounts to depict the 9/11 attacks with as much immediacy as possible. “With time, news becomes history. And history, it’s been said, is what happened to other people,” Zuckoff wrote in the introduction to Fall and Rise. “Even if words might fail, they’re the best hope to delay the descent of 9/11 into the well of history. That is the purpose of this book. The approach is to recount the chaotic day as a narrative in three parts: events in the air, on the ground, and in the aftermath, focusing on individuals whose actions and experiences range from heroic to heartbreaking to homicidal....

The action tips off on Monday night and runs through Wednesday evening, though most college basketball fans will probably want to find a way to get out of their Wednesday night plans, as that figures to house the marquee matchups, including the Duke - Wisconsin nightcap showdown.

New Orleans Pelicans at Los Angeles Clippers Two of the NBA’s top power forwards will face off against each other Saturday night as the Pelicans, led by Anthony Davis, play Blake Griffin and the Clippers. Over a recent four-game stretch, Griffin has averaged nearly 26 points per game on over 60 percent shooting from the field. He’ll go up against the league’s newest superstar in Davis, who currently ranks near the top of the league in multiple major categories: scoring (25....

I’ve known guys like Hugo–masters of self-loathing, crazed spinners of phrase, “attuned to that same deviant, anything goes frequency,” so dazzling you want to kiss their words. But this novel was written by a woman. Kate Christensen’s Hugo, with his talent for duplicity and the daily inhumanity, descends from a long line of cad lit–the perverser he gets, the more delicious it seems. But will he actually commit suicide? Whittier’s literary touchstones tip us off: why does he persist in mastering the self-referential 16th-century political essayist Michel de Montaigne, in French?...

This is of course related to Spider-Man: No Way Home’s ending where Spidey and Dr. Strange figure out that the only way to revert the effects of the sorcerer’s reality-twisting spell is for Peter Parker to sacrifice himself, or rather his identity, and erase all living memory that he ever existed. Although that decision makes for some pretty emotional footage in the movie and also opens up the doors for a very different new trilogy starring Tom Holland, it did leave some wondering what really happened to Peter’s paper trail inside the MCU....

Well, as an author you are not supposed to be biased. So the best way to resolve this debate of who the GOAT in Tennis is, is to look at the numbers. Because numbers never lie and after comparing the numbers the readers can decide themselves who they consider the greatest of all time. There are a lot of angles when it comes to talking about being the very best in the business....

Determining the Best Vaccine for COVID–19 Based on Various Parameters I. Manufacturing Process– All four vaccines are made differently. Covishield vaccine is a viral vector vaccine. It uses an adenovirus ChAD0x1 specifically found in Chimpanzees. It delivers spike proteins to mount a tolerable immune response to a live virus. Covaxin also uses an inactive viral strain similar to Covishield. In other words, both of these vaccines are made based on traditional vaccine-build platforms....

Is Milosevic finished? Some people are convinced of it. They look at the peace terms and ask what he gained by subjecting them to 72 days of punishment from NATO’s bombers. Milosevic is hard put to reply, especially since most of his state-controlled broadcast facilities have been destroyed. Serb TV was his primary tool for sculpting public opinion. And Kosovo’s Serbs were always his most loyal supporters–until now. They helped bring him to power in 1987 and eliminate his biggest rivals in 1988....

The conspiracy theorists see Thursday, March 4, as yet another “last throw of the dice,” believing that Donald Trump will somehow be inaugurated as president again on that day. The date has been widely discussed online by QAnon supporters since President Joe Biden took office on January 20. They believed that Trump would arrive at the inauguration ceremony and carry out the long-awaited “storm,” ordering mass arrests and executions of satanic pedophiles and “deep state” figures working against him....

Truly, the oft-stated prediction of the previous year has come true: we live in a different world. And the tensions of 2002–not just between Islam and the West, but within the West itself–were its growing pains. It is clear now that we all inhabit the same interconnected planetary economy; not even the anti-McDonald’s protesters can or do truly think otherwise. It’s also clear that we’re all part of the same interdependent nervous system, so that if an “ally” like Pakistan helps an “enemy” like North Korea to acquire the sinews of violence, everyone on earth is compelled to register (whether knowingly or not) a similar shock....

The question isn’t whether they can keep them, it’s whether they can maintain success as a whole with the replacements. The answer might be to go bigger on those replacements. In the past two days, Baylor hired Temple coach Matt Rhule and Oregon hired South Florida coach Willie Taggart. This comes a few weeks after Texas hired Houston coach Tom Herman and a year after Virginia Tech plucked Justin Fuente from Memphis....
