The eighth-year guard finished his second season with Utah, however the team doesn’t see keeping Rubio as their top priority. “[Utah has] let me know that I am not priority number one," Rubio told Catalunya Ràdio, a Spanish public radio network. Rubio, 28, was acquired from Minnesota during the summer of 2017. He moved into the Jazz’s lineup and started all 77 games he appeared in that season, which turned out to be the best of his career — averaging 13....

But mild-mannered he is not. At least not always. As he showed Sunday, Gordon has got quite a temper when he gets run over on the track and won’t hesitant to take out his anger on offending drivers. When he went after Brad Keselowski on pit road at Texas Motor Speedway, it set off one of the wildest melees and crew brawls the sport has seen in years.

Marring the loss was some bizarre late-game clock management that saw Saturday seemingly being overly conservative with his timeouts. With under a minute left in the game and all three timeouts remaining, Saturday let the clock roll after a 14-yard Matt Ryan run left the Colts scrambling to get to the line. After about 20 seconds, the Colts finally snapped it and Jonathan Taylor ran for no gain, leaving just 30 seconds on the clock....
It is worth noting that Mr. Truscott does not call for Monticello—Mr. Jefferson’s home and the place where his sins were actually committed—to be torn down. He seems to have lovely childhood memories of the place. Rest assured, the Truscott family sacred ground is to be preserved. Instead, Mr. Truscott focuses his ire on the public monument to his ancestor. Sadly for Mr. Truscott, I am also a direct descendant of Thomas Jefferson....

“You can’t get rid of me yet,” Psaki said. “I have nothing to confirm about my length of public service or planned service, or anything about consideration of next plans.” Psaki continued, “My focus every day continues to be speaking on behalf of the president, answering your questions, as tough as they may be at many times, as difficult as they may be to answer at many times. And I hope that I met my own bar of treating everybody with fairness and being equitable....
Doocy asked Psaki why President Joe Biden wasn’t pushing harder to investigate “the origins of COVID” during Monday’s White House press conference. He cited a Wall Street Journal article claiming that researchers at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology fell ill with symptoms that could have been caused by the virus in November 2019. Psaki said that the administration was pressing for an investigation into the virus’ origins headed by the World Health Organization....
Psaki last met with the president on Tuesday when she was masked and outside, claiming to have been 6-feet away from Biden. She did not make the international trip with Biden. Psaki issued this statement Sunday. “On Wednesday, in coordination with senior leadership at the White House and the medical team, I made the decision not to travel on the foreign trip with the President due to a family emergency, which was members of my household testing positive for COVID-19,” Psaki stated....
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled late last night that Congress had a public interest case to obtain records that could reveal crucial information about the violent insurrection mounted by the former president’s supporters on the Capitol. The National Archives now plans to turn over Trump’s records to the committee - which has subpoenaed some of his former staff - by Friday. His lawyers have been swift to respond with a promise to appeal the ruling - a case that will likely head to the Supreme Court....

Well, sort of. On a night that saw Tatum add to his All-Star starter and MVP case with 32 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in a win over the Bulls, it was his pre and post-game outfit that kind of stole the show. Celtics reporter Marc D’Amico tweeted the next day that his fiancé thought Tatum looked like the Cookie Monster. (If you don’t know who the Cookie Monster is, he’s a beloved character from Sesame Street who has a thing for cookies....
U.S. officials initially claimed the August 29 strike had targeted a militant affiliated with ISIS-K and eliminated an imminent threat to soldiers posted at Kabul’s airport, in the aftermath of a devastating suicide bombing by the terror group that killed 169 Afghans and 13 U.S. service members. However, reports revealed the strike actually killed 10 civilians, including seven children. The New York Times identified the driver of the vehicle targeted in the strike as 43-year-old Zemari Ahmadi, a longtime employee of a U....
“It’s sad to see this be the end—it’s not the end, I should say. It’s maybe the beginning of her story. We know the rules are where they are. Maybe we should take another look at them,” Psaki told CNN’s John Berman on Wednesday. “We certainly have to respect the role of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and the U.S. Olympic Committee and the decisions they make, but it is sad....
