Prior to Dallas’ Week 1 matchup vs. New York, the spotlight was on Prescott’s backfield mate Ezekiel Elliott and his ability to play the first game of his second season. On Sunday night, Prescott stole the show in leading the Cowboys to a dominant 19-3 victory. He proved he had learned well from his lowest points in 2016 and is on his way to a much higher level in 2017....
According to the report, accompanied by what appear to be stills from a video TMZ said it has, Elliott was seen arguing with his girlfriend in a parking lot at 3 a.m. local time. Although Elliott doesn’t appear put his hands on her in the video, according to the report, he does block her from walking away several times. That’s apparently when event staffers stepped in. When confronted, Elliot said, “You got something to say?...

Now I’m back on board with Green Bay and Pittsburgh, the biggest threats to knock out the top seeds in the NFL playoffs, Dallas and New England. The similarities between the Packers and Steelers are fascinating, starting with their Super Bowl-pedigree head coaches in Mike McCarthy and Mike Tomlin, plus Pro Bowl quarterbacks in Aaron Rodgers and Ben Roethlisberger. Both teams also feature dominant offenses and inconsistent defenses. But neither team has lost since it ended its losing streak — six straight wins for the Steelers and five straight for the Packers....
The biggest roadblock facing the Cowboys in doing so is that they will be without a first-round pick, which they dealt last season for wide receiver Amari Cooper. NFL DRAFT GRADES: Ranking the best, worst 2019 classes from 1-32 The Cowboys did well in the draft last year by taking outside linebacker Leighton Vander Esch in the first round, and it’s likely that they will try to target more defensive players in 2019....

OK, it did really well. Like historically well. MORE: Jones assault lawsuit dismissed | McClain’s career resurrected in Dallas | Eli Manning’s career against Cowboys The Cowboys’ 30-23 upset win over the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks brought in 30 million viewers for the broadcast, according to TV by the Numbers. That’s a great number. But what makes it better is that it’s the “most-watched program on all broadcast and cable television since the Academy Awards in March....
These are tricky matchups for handicappers to decipher. The upside is obvious, especially when the underdog is prone to folding at the first sight of a re-raise. The downside, though, is that the favorite is bluffing — that it’s really not much better than the underdog, if better at all. Consider the case of Thursday night’s matchup in Chicago (8:30 p.m. ET, NFL Network). The Cowboys (8-4 SU, 6-6 ATS) have been installed as 3....
A statement released by BCCOS said the woman was jogging along a Bridal Path near Prospect Point, in Stanley Park in Vancouver, when she was approached from behind by a coyote and bitten at around 7 p.m. local time. She was bitten on the leg, and suffered only minor injuries, the statement said. “The COS continues to urge the public to stay out of Stanley Park—if you are in the park, use abundant caution, as there is a high risk of encountering an aggressive coyote,” the statement read....
Each Spirit Bear has their own unique personality that can be seen in not only the character design but with their dialogue and quests. Not only do they differ in personality, each one has a different mechanic in the game, as far as what they can do for the Scout. Because of this, players tend to favor some Bears over others, either due to the dialogue or because some are more helpful to the player than others....
Standardized tests are a ritual of classroom life, but across the country kids are sweating over a new breed of “high stakes” tests. Low scores can mean students won’t get promoted or graduate. In some states, principals can be terminated if scores fail to improve; school districts can face state takeovers. Many educators deplore the new exams, but politicians and the public are cheering. The tests are a key part of a nationwide reform effort to bring “standards” and “accountability” to public schools....
This challenge shines exponentially when going for the relics, which task the player with beating a level without dying under a certain time limit while hitting yellow boxes which stop the timer for anywhere between one and three seconds. This added pressure makes even the simplest levels a challenge, but the later stages are especially daunting without checkpoints. Pretty much all of the relics are difficult to obtain, but these ten are absolute monsters....

Vinyl figurines arriving not all that long ago. As it turns out, Crash Bandicoot will be the next gaming franchise to get the Funko treatment in the form of a brand new Pop!...
Back in the days of the Nintendo Wii in 2009, Pokemon Rumble released as a WiiWare game. The spin-off saw players take control of toy Pokemon to battle through dungeons, forests, and arenas, among other areas as they acquired more toy Pokemon as they progressed.

Advocate Vusi Pikoli, chairman of the ethics sub-committee, has reiterated the fact that such occurrences damage their reputation in the international arena. “The committee wishes to raise its deep concern [at] the recent reports and allegations of ball-tampering. The committee takes a very dim view of these reports and wishes to send out a strong message that such behaviour cannot be tolerated. Such conduct damages our fragile reputation,” Pikoli was quoted as saying....
True, our violent-crime rate remains too high, concentrated on inner-city victims. But we no longer have high property-crime rates by international standards; our burglary rate, for example, is below average for industrial nations. And the improved trends have come as we have handed out more and longer prison sentences. There is a connection. Some history is in order. In the 1960s and early 1970s, prison was considered backward and too harshly retributive....
Paddy Tipping, chair of the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners, told Newsweek that he feared a rise in county drug gangs, child sexual exploitation, domestic violence as well as a more general rise in crime, amidst a backdrop of stretched police resources. While some crimes fell in the first lockdown in the U.K. because of a combination of everyone being at home and even criminals concerned about the risks, hacking attacks and online fraud saw an increase....
Kmart’s blue light is flickering. Once the ultimate destination for bargain hunters, the shopping icon is suddenly on the brink of bankruptcy. Late last week Kmart’s board shook up management, elevating one of its own, James Adamson, to chairman and ousting the company’s president. But Adamson, who revived the Denny’s restaurant chain and Revco Drug Stores, is just the latest “turnaround expert” to spin through Kmart’s revolving door. The challenge is tougher than ever now that Kmart’s longstanding identity crisis–the chain’s pricier than Wal-Mart, dowdier than Target–has morphed into a financial crisis....
