But a video shared on social media Thursday pulled back the curtain on the collateral damage caused by head coach firings annually in the NFL. Assistant coaches, many of whom are not at fault for whatever organizational shortcomings lead to drastic changes, are affected and often let go, as well. The NFL’s Twitter account shared a clip from “All or Nothing: A Season with the Los Angeles Rams” that reveals the moment Fisher informed his staff of his own fate....

But the news Wednesday is, if not good, at least not as bad as feared. The Mets have placed McNeil on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain. However, the strain is reportedly mild and the Mets’ super utility player is expected to miss the minimum amount of time before returning, according to multiple news outlets. McNeil said after the game he didn’t think it was serious. “It didn’t feel great,” McNeil said....

Cricket might be a team sport, but at times, it’s a piece of individual brilliance that changes the complexion of a match. A quick-fire hundred, an inspiring spell of fast bowling, or even a brilliant catch - such performances make a player stand out from the rest, making him truly ‘bankable’ for his side. Janalakshami Financial Services (Jana) - which has been signed by the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) as the associate sponsor for Indian Cricket - will now involve one of the game’s most crucial stakeholders , to vote for the ‘bankable’ player during India’s upcoming home season....

While Reno has had her share of criticism in 15 years as state’s attorney for Greater Miami, neither her integrity nor her motives has ever been questioned. “In a criminal-justice cesspool,” says James K. Green, president of the Florida ACLU, “Janet Reno is as pure as the driven snow.” This was the official who had her driver put quarters in the meter even when she parked for county business. And the public servant who once asked for a special prosecutor to handle complaints that her mother’s pet peacocks were disturbing the neighbors....

Whatever the real reason, it’s easy to forget that Janet Reno is in fact a seasoned veteran of Sunshine State politics who was appointed Florida state attorney for Miami-Dade County in 1978 and then won five consecutive elections for that office before Bill Clinton tapped her to become the nation’s first female attorney general in the early months of his administration. By all accounts, Reno will need all that accumulated savvy-and more than a little luck-to bring a Democrat back to the governor’s mansion by the end of next year....

Japan’s refusal stands in stark contrast to its behavior the last time a major deal was struck with North Korea: the 1994 Agreed Framework. Under the 1994 deal, Japan and South Korea were the largest financial contributors, agreeing together to pay more than 90 percent of the estimated $5 billion construction costs for two light-water nuclear reactors, which North Korea was promised in return for giving up its weapons programs....

The warning is the latest in a chorus of concern about how extreme heat could affect several sporting events at the Olympic games, particularly after Tokyo sweltered through a record heatwave this year. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Tokyo 2020 organisers have acknowledged the concerns and already moved the marathon start time up 30 minutes to 7:00am, with competitive walking starting even earlier. But the Japan Medical Association and the Tokyo Medical Association said that was insufficient because most of the course would still be run in heat levels that were dangerous, and under which physical activity should be halted....

Travelers who have been to India, Bangladesh, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka within two weeks of arriving in Japan will be forced to quarantine in a designated facility for 10 days. An earlier mandate required travelers to quarantine for just six days. During that period, travelers will be tested for the virus three times, Kyodo News reported. The government said it will also impose a new three-day quarantine period for travelers who have been to Kazakhstan and Tunisia, with a coronavirus test on the final day....

LONDON (Reuters) - Japanese teenager Naomi Osaka is humbled to be facing Venus Williams at Wimbledon, even if it was the American’s younger sister she wanted to emulate when she was growing up. The 19-year-old put out Czech 22nd seed Barbora Strycova 6-1 0-6 6-4 on Wednesday to set up Friday’s third round clash with the five-times champion, who, at 37, is the oldest woman in the field. “I kind of feel like I have been preparing for this my whole life,” Osaka, ranked 59, told reporters....

Unfortunately, there has been a definite drop in console sales from the nation that helped rebuild the entire industry. Nintendo’s latest home console, the Wii U, has faced notorious sales problems, with only slight consolidation through a recent growth in units sold.

“I personally watch what’s happening, and it’s very hard to see at the southern border, I also—we have to remember that these are human beings, they’re people, so seeing them being used as political pawns one way or the other is very troubling to me,” Kushner said in a Tuesday appearance on Fox News’ Outnumbered.
