“This virus originated in China and China has information that it has not shared with the global community about its origins,” a senior administration official told Newsweek, “and that is information that we all need access to in order to prevent the next pandemic.” The remarks came two days after Biden issued a statement in which he offered an update on a U.S. Intelligence Community report he commissioned in March on the origins of COVID-19, “including whether it emerged from human contact with an infected animal or from a laboratory accident....

The crux of the Journal’s story is that most players named admit to hiding their involvement in professional sports, hoping to find real love or at least companions who aren’t enamored with their high profile position in the NFL. That’s all well and good, but my favorite part of the story is that it conveniently skips over the fact that Tinder probably also takes much of the friction out of traveling athletes finding weekend pals for casual encounters....

After trying to lure Michigan alum Les Miles away from LSU in 2007 and 2010, the Wolverines finally landed their “Michigan Man” in Harbaugh to lead the program. The introduction got off to a rough start. Harbaugh tripped on his way into the press conference. “Anybody see me trip in the way in?
