 "First off, I want to thank the man above. Without God, this wouldn't be possible at all," Jefferson said. "To be given a gift to play football at the highest level, it's a blessing, an honor.


"To my mom and dad, thank you. This is a journey for all of us, and y'all are still with us every step of the way," Jefferson added. "To my brothers, Rickey and Jordan, y'all are everything.

Y'all made me who I am today. This is a new step in our journey, a new step in life. I always dreamt of this moment and to now share it with all of y'all — a dream that we all had, it's a blessing."

President Biden opened his speech commemorating D-Day by saluting World War II veterans, who he said "who met the test of ages that moment 80 years ago" on Thursday. Why it matters: With the median age of World War II soldiers being 98 years old, Thursday's anniversary could be the last decennial commemoration of the largest amphibious assault in history with a significant number of veterans in attendance. What they're saying: "Here, the coast of Normandy, the battle between freedom and tyranny would be joined. Here, on that June morning, the testing was at hand," Biden said. "On behalf of the American people, and as commander in chief, it's the highest honor to be able to salute you here in Normandy once more." The big picture: Biden used his speech to speak on the status of the world, saying the "dark forces" WWII veterans fought against "never fade." "Aggression and greed, the desire to dominate and control, to ...

Iain’t answering no Caitlin Clark questions.' Chennedy Carter mum on hard foul on Fever star.

   INDIANAPOLIS – After the Indiana Fever’s 71-70 win over the Chicago Sky, the topic of discussion is the altercation between Sky guard Chennedy Carter and Fever guard Caitlin Clark at the end of the third quarter.  Carter made a jump shot with 15.8 seconds left in the quarter, then prepared to guard Clark, who was set to receive the inbounds pass. Before the ball was thrown into play, Carter lodged her right forearm into Clark’s back, sending Clark to the floor. The play was ruled an away-from-the-play foul due to it happening before the inbound, but it wasn’t upgraded to a flagrant or technical foul. Clark made the free throw to give Indiana a five-point lead heading into the final period. The full exchange began nearly 20 seconds earlier when Clark appeared to say something to Carter after the Fever recovered a loose ball and scored on offense. Carter came down and got the bucket before knocking Clark over. When initially asked about the interaction in postgame media...
