In June 2020, the US Department of Justice , including Harville, with conspiracy to commit cyberstalking and conspiracy to tamper with witnesses.

The 2022 NFL draft is finally upon us. No, this isn’t going to be the most accurate mock draft you’ve seen; anyone who nails more than a dozen first-rounders (right team, right player) should immediately be drafted into one of the NFL’s 32 scouting staffs. This is about as challenging a year to project first-round picks, and it has a lot to do with a watered-down top half of the round, along with the uncertainty at quarterback. It’s always a crapshoot, but this year takes the cake. To make up… Source link

Vance. “I don’t trust J.D. Vance. At all,” McGlone said, sitting in the back of the Victory Christian Church’s break room Thursday, after a campaign stop by Mandel and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. “I know Josh. I voted for him when he became [state] treasurer. And I know all the… Source link

Less than 14 months after a catastrophic February 2021 car wreck that nearly cost him his leg, Woods continues to consider whether to play the Masters this week. Woods spent time last week walking the steep hills of Augusta National and performed well enough to warrant keeping the door open. “I will be heading up to Augusta today to continue my preparation and practice. It will be a… Source link

NEW ORLEANS — At the end of his last ride came a long walk. Beaten by his archrival, felled by a dagger of a 3-pointer in the final minute, Mike Krzyzewski unfolded his arms, got up off his courtside stool and strode calmly into retirement. He displayed no emotion when he shook the hand of North Carolina head coach Hubert Davis. Nor when Duke fans in the stands applauded reverentially and shouted “We love you, coach!” as he exited the floor. When Krzyzewski found his wife Mickie waiting… Source link

Connecticut is on to its 14th consecutive Final Four after a double-overtime thriller. The No. 2-seeded Huskies downed No. 1 seed NC State, 91-87, in what was essentially a home game in the Bridgeport region on Monday. It was the first double-overtime game in the Elite Eight or later in women’s tournament history. Paige Bueckers came up clutch in the first overtime period and hit the opening 3-pointer 20 seconds into the second OT to put the Huskies up 80-77. UConn led by as many as five, the… Source link

There are few happy endings in boxing. Miguel Berchelt, who rose from obscurity to have a magnificent career, is about to find that out. There’s no reason for the former WBO and WBC super featherweight champion to fight once again. He was repeatedly beaten to the punch Saturday at Resorts World in Las Vegas by Jeremiah Nakathila. He was knocked down once by a jab and he made Nakathila, a good but hardly sensational fighter, look like the reincarnation of Alexis Arguello. Referee Russell Mora,… Source link

PHILADELPHIA — The “Fire Hubert” furor peaked as the North Carolina Tar Heels rode through darkness on a chilly bus across their home state. It was Jan. 23, wee hours of the morning. Roads were frozen, but message boards were alight. Hubert Davis, , was “in way over his head.” They said much worse, too, as the Tar Heels and their first-year head coach sat in silence. They’d just lost at Wake Forest by 22, four days after losing at Miami by 28. They were 12-6, 4-3 in the ACC, NCAA… Source link
