Favre, who started 321 straight games from 1992 through the end of his career in 2010, estimated he suffered “thousands” of concussions during that time. The longtime Packers quarterback, who also played with the Jets and Vikings, made that estimation in an appearance on “The Bubba Army” this week. Favre previously believed he only had three concussions during his playing career — instances which fit outdated understanding of what constitutes a concussion....
But a post on Favre’s Instagram page Tuesday left social media buzzing with speculation the 49-year-old quarterback planned to return to the league in 2020. “A true champion sticks to his or her calling,” the message read. “I will be coming out of retirement and making my return to play in the NFL for the 2020 season. Stay tuned for more #news!” Sound ridiculous? Yes, and the fact the post was quickly deleted suggests Favre’s account was either hacked, or he was making a late April Fool’s Day joke....
Doug Liman’s “Justice,” which premiered at Sundance last week after a last-minute addition into the festival’s program, focuses on the testimony of Deborah Ramirez, a former Yale classmate of Kavanaugh. In 2018, Ramirez described in a New Yorker article how, during a gathering with friends back in 1983, Kavanaugh allegedly pulled down his trousers and thrusted his penis at her without her consent. Kavanaugh has denied the allegation. Another former Yale classmate also claims to have witnessed an incident of sexual misconduct involving Kavanaugh....
Milwaukee clinched the NL Central division title on Sunday with an 8-4 win over the Mets, which meant there was cause for celebration.

Previous editions: Anthony Rizzo | Max Muncy | Touki Toussaint | Clint Frazier | Pat Neshek | Chris Iannetta | Ben Gamel Up now: Brewers outfield prospect Corey Ray What’s your first baseball memory? RAY: My first baseball memory was the hardest ball I had hit to that point. Had to be like 5 years old. We’re playing at this park, and I hit the ball to the street. I’m running and the third-base coach gives me a stop sign rounding third, but I run the stop sign and the catcher just trucks me....
“The calling of a Queen’s Speech and prorogation is the worst political decision ever,” Farage, an architect of Brexit and an ally of President Donald Trump, tweeted. Farage said that Dominic Cummings, Johnson’s chief of staff at Number 10 and the man believed to have masterminded the prorogation plan, “must go.” When asked if Farage had any further comment, a Brexit Party spokesman referred Newsweek back to the tweet....
Unlike most teams that decided to make a change at the top — there were 10 in total — the Dolphins were coming off back-to-back winning seasons. Flores had developed a reputation as one of the NFL’s strongest tactical head coaches, and Miami was thought to be a team on the rise. Flores’ firing added to tension surrounding the lack of Black head coaches in the NFL, which would become an even larger storyline weeks later when Flores filed a lawsuit against the NFL and multiple teams alleging racial discrimination....

But scientists have been seeing hints all year. In April the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced that the ozone layer is now 5 percent thinner over the Northern Hemisphere in winter and early spring than it was a decade before. That portends more cases of UV-induced cataracts and skin cancer-an extra 12 million cancer cases among Americans over the next 50 years. Already, skin-cancer rates have doubled since 1980. Even more dispiriting, the ozone is slipping away despite the best-intentioned steps to save it....
They’re hoping to snap a seven-game winless run and reignite their quest for a higher finish than ninth position, which the Roar currently occupy. Since beating Melbourne Victory in a 5-2 rout at the start of February, the Queenslanders have been unsuccessful in securing a three-point haul. Warren Moon’s side were looking on the up until that point, winning four consecutive games. However, a loss in form resulted in four draws and three defeats in their next seven outings....
