As proven again during Sunday’s defeat in Carolina, Dallas’ formula of winning with ball control and defense doesn’t always work. The big changes around Prescott this offseason led to an offensive dud in Sunday’s 16-8 loss to the Panthers in Week 1. As a passer (19 of 29, 170 yards, 81.1 rating), Prescott was at the same level efficiency-wise as counterpart Cam Newton. But unlike Newton, Prescott could not run his team to enough points to win....

Cooper is set to return from a two-game COVID-19 shelving while Lamb was concussed and out for Las Vegas.

There is plenty that could be done with a potential Spyro 4, but much like the latest Crash game, keeping what fans loved about the original trilogy intact will be incredibly important for the developers. However, with Toys for Bob nailing the remasters of the first three games and creating a successful follow-up for Crash Bandicoot, it seems like Spyro is in good hands if he gets a sequel. Based on a new teaser, that sequel could be coming sooner rather than later....

Prior to his passing, Jason Hargrove, a 50-year-old bus driver, put out a Facebook Live video March 21 stating that a female passenger coughed in a bus containing eight to nine people without covering her mouth. “I’m mad right about now because that [expletive] was uncalled for and I try to be the professional that they want me to be and I kept my mouth closed.

Nearly 24 million COVID-19 vaccine doses were delivered by the government in the past week—only a slightly higher weekly cadence we’ve seen over the last month.

As of March 30, only Wyoming has not yet announced when all adult residents will be eligible for the vaccine....

In a recent study, published in Nature Immunology, scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Tennessee, evaluated how vaccination and infection with COVID-19 affect the immune system. While they found some differences in the immune response when a person got COVID-19 before vaccination versus after, it did not necessarily mean people with natural immunity had a better response. In fact, researchers confirmed that immunity by infection is not better than getting vaccinated against COVID-19 since both produced similar T-cell responses....

“This will make it easier for health care providers to get out into communities and give more COVID shots to people in need.
