That club also produced a young Portuguese left back who took an unlikely detour through Akron, Ohio, and now Los Angeles, to make that dream a reality. The first player chosen in the 2018 MLS SuperDraft, Moutinho flashed his considerable talent at the MLS combine in January, but the consensus sentiment back then was that the 20-year-old fullback would need some time to adapt to the pro level, and probably wouldn’t play much as a rookie....

Last month’s shortfall pulled the average monthly job growth down to 143,000 for 2019. A year ago the monthly growth averaged about 208,000 jobs each month. That’s a decline of nearly 30 percent. Economists and financial analysts have worried publicly about the possibility of a forthcoming economic downturn, particularly since the yield curve inverted last month, and a steady decline in job growth doesn’t do much to alleviate their fears....

Foster has solidified herself as one of the acting greats in Hollywood, but she hasn’t been involved in television much in the past couple of decades. Foster, who is both an Oscar-winning actress and director, has also been slated as executive producer of HBO’s True Detective season 4.

Biden confirmed that a North Korean launch believed to have involved a short-range ballistic missile system late Wednesday constituted a violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions imposing restrictions on the nuclear-armed nation’s arsenal. The launch followed an earlier short-range cruise missile firing over the weekend that he described Tuesday as “business as usual” as it did not run counter to the resolutions against North Korea. The president said the U....

During the fifth inning of Milwaukee’s 5-4 win over Minnesota, Jeffress was on the mound facing Willians Astudillo. Jeffress sent his pitch, and Astudillo sent it right back at him in a scary fashion. The ball went right at Jeffress’ head and the pitcher did all he could do to avoid a seriously dangerous situation.

The Fire had been in the running for Jones’ services, but the Revs have won the lottery for his services. The Revolution stated in a release: “As a designated player of a certain threshold, Jones was not subject to allocation ranking for dispersal to an MLS team. The Revolution and Chicago Fire expressed an interest in Jones, and had the available salary budget and a designated player slot to accommodate him....

Good thing Garrett is the actual coach of the Dallas Cowboys, though, and good thing Jerry isn’t the final word on who plays, who’s great, and who gets to be on the roster. An owner who talks is still better than one who doesn’t. But one who lets his coach do the coaching is better than all of them.

Jones told reporters he did not have a “shareable timetable” for a decision on whether to bring back Garrett for a 10th full season in charge of the team (Garrett replaced the fired Wade Phillips midway through the 2010 season). Dallas was eliminated from playoff contention in Week 17 despite beating the Redskins 47-16. The Eagles claimed the final NFC playoff spot by beating the Giants and clinching the East Division....

Jordan, a Republican representing Ohio’s 4th congressional district, cited an article from The Intercept during a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee, which is chaired by Nadler. The Intercept reported that Democrats plan to introduce legislation to increase the number of Supreme Court justices from nine to 13—and that Nadler will be one of the bill’s sponsors. Nadler, a Democrat who represents New York’s 10th congressional district, refused to answer Jordan’s question, while another member of the committee said the Republican’s query was out of order....

But what’s Seinfeld really been up to? Even the comedian whose show was famously about nothing must have been doing something . We know he’s got a growing family–three kids ages 6 and under. He occasionally does live stand-up. But it turns out he’s been quietly busy for the last three years writing, producing and starring in a movie for DreamWorks, a film that’s sure to produce enormous buzz, not least because it’s called “Bee Movie....

One of Stiller’s more famous roles was playing George Costanza’s father, Frank, on “Seinfeld.” George, of course, worked as the assistant to the traveling secretary of the Yankees, working under team owner George Steinbrenner. And in the 12th episode of Season 7, all of these characters became tied together. The episode is called “The Caddy” and George ends up going on an unapproved vacation and yadda yadda yadda he’s later presumed dead....

After shuffling a backhand pass low in the attacking zone, the 19-year-old center was checked by Colorado Avalanche defenseman Nikita Zadorov. The hit caused Kotkaniemi to flip. Unable to brace himself, he landed on his head, neck and shoulders. There was speculation Zadorov swept Kotkaniemi’s feet out from under him, but a review of the video showed little to no evidence of that. A referee blew play dead shortly after the fall as Kotkaniemi stayed down on the ice....

The Edmonton Oilers restricted free agent signed a one-year deal with Oulun Karpat of the Finnish Liiga on Tuesday, although his contract contains an NHL opt-out clause through December 1. It’s the latest chapter in his desire to move away from the Oilers, with Puljujarvi widely known to want to play elsewhere. Puljujarvi was the fourth-overall pick in the 2016 NHL draft and arrived in Edmonton to great fanfare. However, the Swedish-born Finn failed to live up to the hype of his lofty draft position, registering just 37 points (17 goals, 20 assists) in 139 games over three years with the Oilers....

The New York Jets quarterback left Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens with a right knee injury and later was ruled out.

Those expecting a quick resolution to the story will have to wait a little longer, however. MORE: Which team will benefit from the rift? | Biting in hockey The Jets placed Kane on injured reserve Thursday afternoon, retroactive to Feb. 2. He is eligible to come off on Feb. 10, though it’s anybody’s guess whether he will be activated then. The move makes plenty of sense for the Jets. Kane, according to TSN’s Bob McKenzie, has played through numerous injuries this season and may require offseason surgery, so it’s not as if putting him on IR is entirely unwarranted....

Except, the braintrust can rest a little easier now after signing multiyear extensions in the offseason, announced by the team Thursday. TSN’s Darren Dreger reported Wednesday that Cheveldayoff’s new contract was agreed upon “months ago,” while Maurice’s materialized more recently. MORE: Jets need better goaltending before taking next step Either way, the timing is strange, considering the Jets have accomplished little of note since Cheveldayoff became GM in 2011. They made the playoffs in 2014-15, Maurice’s first full season as head coach, but are a mediocre 75-74-15 in the two seasons since despite a talented roster....

The Republican lawmaker from Georgia tweeted a video in which President Joe Biden said his administration would step up efforts to get Americans vaccinated in a program involving “literally knocking on doors,” to urge people to get the shots. But Greene objected to the plan and in sharing the video of Biden on Tuesday, she added the message: “Biden pushing a vaccine that is NOT FDA approved shows covid is a political tool used to control people....

Matt Kenseth, who will start third in the Food City 500, added to the smiles, and Kyle Busch — who won his 16th career national series race in the Nationwide event Saturday — will start seventh in the race scheduled for Sunday afternoon with the threat of rain looming. After JGR wasn’t its typical stout intermediate-track self last week at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, it feels good for the organization to at least run up front even if the race scheduled for Sunday will be decided on a 0....

The 18-and-a-half-foot Fraser fir was presented by Rusty and Beau Estes, from Peak Farms of Jefferson, North Carolina, who are the National Christmas Tree Association’s grand champion growers. “It’s beautiful—it’s magnificent, actually,” Biden told reporters of the tree. As per tradition, the tree arrived via horse and carriage and was inspected by the first lady before being placed in the Blue Room and decorated with a theme that will be revealed after Thanksgiving....
