Electing to bat first after winning the toss, the Barbados Royals were reeling at 30-4 in the powerplay. A surging fifty from Azam Khan and a cameo by Joshua Bishop at the end steered the side to 151-8 in their 20 overs. Kennar Lewis and Shamarh Brooks were the only batsmen who crossed double figures in the chase, but it was more than enough. Lewis scored a sensational 89-run knock, putting up the highest score of the tournament so far....

Throughout his time at Anfield, the Brazilian has often been deployed in a more advanced role – as part of a front three. This season, however, Jurgen Klopp has often utilised the 25-year-old behind a fearsome attacking unit of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino. Coutinho has revelled in a midfield creator berth, netting nine times so far, and admits that he already feels at home in a position which allows him to have a greater influence on proceedings....

Randle, the Cowboys’ backup running back to Murray, the NFL’s leading rusher, was arrested for misdemeanor theft, Dallas radio station 105.3 The Fan (KRLD-FM) reports. According to Frisco (Tex.) Police, the 22-year-old Randle was apprehended for shoplifting at a Dillard’s department store.

According to reports by Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter, respectively, Dallas is meeting former Packers coach Mike McCarthy and former Bengals coach Marvin Lewis, all why incumbent Jason Garrett’s status remains in limbo.

Dallas has released defensive tackle Gerald McCoy — first reported from by Adam Schefter and confirmed by the team — a day after he suffered a season-ending ruptured right quadricep. The team was able to do that thanks to an injury waiver in his contract, which also voided his $2.5 million base salary for 2020. He is still able to keep his $3 million signing bonus. This part of McCoy’s contract shows how exacting Dallas was when coming to terms on his deal:...

Dallas (8-6) kicked a field goal with 1:44 remaining to take the lead before Oakland (6-8) drove downfield for a chance to win.

Lallana named POTY 2016 The Brazilian playmaker barely featured for the Serie A side and was sold to the Anfield club in January 2013 for a fee of £8.5 million.

Coutinho has been pursued by the Catalan giants since the summer, and Barcelona finally have their man after Liverpool initially resisted the sale of the star creator. A Liverpool legend who played in Spain with Real Madrid, McManaman thinks Coutinho will be missed by the Reds despite their other talents.

Despite aggressive attempts early on to shut down the disease with social distancing, the plague has roared back to life, forcing Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike to ask city residents stay indoors at least on the weekends and be more rigorous in their social distancing. But the death of the otherwise healthy Shimura is a blow to the psyche of a nation that he had once helped laugh its way out of its problems, a postwar Japan that had been brought to its knees by war and poverty....

Experts say hospital systems have a moral obligation to care for COVID-19 long-haulers, including their own healthcare workers who’ve put their lives on the line during the pandemic. “They’re the ones who have saved lives,” Natalie Lambert, PhD, associate research professor of medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine, tells Verywell. “And in doing so, they were exposed. So, to me, the service that they’re giving the world, and also the risk that they underwent, if they’re now experiencing these long-term health impacts, we have to support them....

While the country might not be feeling the immediate impact just yet, COVID-19 vaccination efforts improved significantly in the U.S. last week. The achievement isn’t readily apparent. As of February 23, 2021, the total number of vaccine doses distributed across the country has risen by another 10 million—an increase on par with previous weeks. And when it comes to actually getting those shots into arms, efficiency has only improved slightly; 79% of the doses delivered by the government have been administered, compared to 77% last week....

Demand for the vaccine will likely be higher the more it reduces infection risk and the lower the risk of side effects. A high vaccine demand is almost certain among essential workers, whose jobs put them at greater risk of infection, and among the elderly or other vulnerable populations. Past evidence suggests lower-risk populations will have less demand for a vaccine, and likely will be more sensitive to any potential side effects and therefore may wait for better safety data from large-scale vaccine adoption by higher-risk populations....

St. Petersburg, Florida, police officers arrested Dante Payne, Kenneth Davis and Russell Jones in separate drug-related incidents this month and all three are accused of claiming to own a business in order to obtain Small Business Administration loans. Police allege they collectively received about $50,000 in loans, which was intended to help small businesses cover payroll and other costs during the pandemic. “One of the reasons they were able to fund their operation was because they were using these loans from the government that they had received fraudulently,” Yolanda Fernandez, a public information officer with the St....

Jones, director of player personnel for the Cowboys, dismissed a question about whether Garrett is on the hot seat after losing back-to-back games to the New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers.Those defeats followed a strong 3-0 start to the season, but Jones insists there are no plans to make a change despite the downturn in fortunes. “Absolutely not,” Jones said on 105.3 The Fan. “He’s done a great job with this team....

The initial belief was Smith would sit out his entire rookie season to recover from the knee injury.
