BOULDER — If anyone’s flashing a bigger smile these days than Deion Sanders over the offensive linemen he’s landed in the transfer portal, it’s his quarterback son.Shedeur Sanders completed nearly 70% of his passes this season but was sacked an NCAA-high 52 times as Colorado finished 4-8. He took such a beating that he missed the Buffs’ final game with a fractured bone in his back.His father told The Associated Press in a Zoom call on Monday that he anticipates Shedeur being back under center for the Buffs’ spring practices.“Oh yeah, most definitely. He will be,” Sanders said. “He just needs some rest and to heal up a little bit because he took a tremendous beating. And that provoked some things in me to do some things differently because the beating that he took — sometimes people forgot that I’m not only his coach, but that’s my son — so I understand that’s not how this is supposed to go.“We’ve played youth league, high school and at an HBCU and we’ve never been beaten...

He would often receive baseball cards as gifts from family members and, over the years, the number of cards in his possession continued to increase.Babe Ruth, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and Ty Cobb found their way into Ed's collection, which he kept safe for decades in a 1900s-era Pedro Cut Plug Tobacco tin.

Bernie Sanders to Force Vote on Israeli War Crimes. . . ISI Document Blows Up Pakistan's Case Against Imran Khan

This article was originally published as a newsletter from Ryan Grim. Sign up to get the next one in your inbox.At the end of November, my colleague Dan Boguslaw caught up with Bernie Sanders on his way into a meeting with Democrats in the Capitol, and had a chance for a brief interview. He asked Sanders if he had any plans to force a vote that would condition military aid to Israel on the country’s willingness to abide by international laws of war. Sanders responded in the affirmative. I covered the exchange the next day on Counter Points, and added that there actually is an obscure procedural tool Sanders could use to force a vote. It’s outlined in Section 502(b) of the Foreign Assistance Act, and it’s never been used in this way, but the law is extremely clear. Two weeks later, Sanders has now introduced a resolution to force a vote using 502(b). It has to sit in the Foreign Relations Committee for 10 days before it can be brought to the floor, which means it’ll be ripe in the Ne...
