The “one-stop shop website,” as the Biden Administration describes the site in a press release, primarily serves to consolidate COVID-19 information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). While health experts think the site will be useful, the lack of real-time information is a major point of criticism. “I think that this website does not offer that much more than was previously available, except everything is on one website and easily accessible to the public,” Aaron Glatt, MD, chief of infectious disease at Mount Sinai South Nassau in West Hempstead, NY, told Verywell....

According to ESPN’s Todd Archer, Smith’s decision to switch from his No. 54 jersey to his desired No. 9 jersey will come with a “mid-six-figure cost,” as he’ll have to buy out the entire inventory of his No. 54 jerseys and T-shirts currently available for sale. Had Smith waited until 2022, he wouldn’t have had to pay a dime to make the switch. But apparently, he wants the number badly enough that the cost doesn’t matter....

He told Pro Football Talk he will accept the suspension and return to the field for the team’s Week 5 game against the Patriots on Oct. 11.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones indicated Friday on 105.3 The Fan that a reunion with Bryant is not part of the conversation to improve the roster, and he said it would not be best for the team to bring him back. “It just seems like [Bryant] is a Cowboy, but we’ve got to look at what we’re all having to deal with and that is what’s in the best interest of the team,” Jones said, via NFL....

Ever since he started having celebrities and athletes read mean-spirited tweets on his show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” other outlets have followed suit. The Cowboys recently joined the fun, releasing a video Friday of their players reading angry tweets from fans.

As the Cowboys gear up for a preseason game against the Rams on Saturday, notably absent Ezekiel Elliott has returned to the Lonestar State after his holdout/personal training camp in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The photos of Elliott below made their rounds online and gained heavy skepticism before WFAA reporter Mike Leslie confirmed it was indeed the star running back. Maybe most notably in the report from Leslie is that Elliott’s training team flew back to Dallas with him, indicating this is more than a quick trip back home to run a few errands....

While out of town, Blitz was being taken care of by a close friend at my house and someone broke in and took him....

A recent tweet from the official Toys for Bob Twitter account shared a photo of the company’s “Wall of Games.” The wall features 17 picture frames, each holding a game box cover and disc. The games go all the way back to Toys for Bob’s original games, Star Control and its sequel Star Control 2. There’s also an eighteenth frame on the wall, with “???” labeled inside of it to denote that a surprise could be in store for Toys for Bob fans....

Coutinho has garnered mixed reviews since swapping Merseyside for Catalonia in a reported €160million move in January 2018 but, following a stunning goal against Manchester United in the previous round, he was granted a spot alongside Lionel Messi and another ex-Red Luis Suarez in Barca’s front three at Camp Nou. Liverpool’s own feted trident were not all named from the start, however, with Firmino among the substitutes after sitting out last Friday’s 5-0 win over Huddersfield Town with an ankle knock....

Their study, published in the journal Brain on December 14, analyzed GBS cases from the UK National Immunoglobulin Database. From March 2020 through May 2020, GBS cases decreased by 40-50% compared to the same months in 2016 through 2019. This suggests the mandated social distancing and lock down measures implemented in the UK helped slow the spread of the bacterial (camplylobacterjejun) and viral infections that are typically responsible for GBS....

In a recent viewpoint article, two Texas researchers argue that clinicians can provide their pregnant and lactating patients with sufficient information to make an informed decision about COVID-19 vaccination by looking at what is already known about other vaccines given during pregnancy. The lack of either cohesive or decisive guidance has put the onus on clinicians to provide counsel. The researchers outline how doctors can synthesize the limited data available to them—facts about COVID-19 vaccines, the accounts of pregnant and lactating women who have received a COVID-19 vaccine, and studies on the effects of non-COVID-19 vaccines on pregnant and lactating women—to inform their patients on the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine....

By Friday, April 30—President Biden’s 100th day in office—America will have administered well over 200 million COVID-19 shots. This is double the goal set by Biden in December, prior to the official authorization of any vaccines. While this is a significant achievement, the milestone comes alongside some troubling vaccination trends. As The New York Times reported earlier this week, CDC data shows that about 8% of recipients of a first Pfizer or Moderna dose failed to return for their second shot....

In spite of the limited vaccine supply it has to work with, the U.S. is starting to find its groove when it comes to getting COVID-19 shots into arms. As of February 9, almost 72% of the doses delivered by the government have been administered, up from 65% last week. Comparatively, during the last week of January, only about half of vaccines delivered federally had actually been administered. While the improvement in vaccination efficiency is a step in the right direction, it’s not a massive change....

Dallas, as was the case for Monday night’s win over Detroit in which Prescott started and went the distance, has nothing to play for in Philadelphia — the NFC top seed and home-field advantage are still in hand. The only (big) difference is the Cowboys will not have a game to play next week. No one knows the team’s mindset like Jason Garrett, who has put both Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott in consistent positions to succeed as rookies all season....

“I’m not going to make any comment on an investigation where there’ve been no arrests or charges made,” coach Jason Garrett said. “Having said that, we’ve been very clear with our team about consequences that there will be if there is a situation where charges or arrests are made for a crime. We’ve been clear about that. That doesn’t apply in this particular case.” Garrett declined to say when the team was made aware of the allegation....

Spotting Hardy in camp right away isn’t difficult, and not just because he looks bigger than his 6-5, 280, and has a much better overall skill set than any defensive end the Cowboys had in last year’s camp.

The star running back spoke the loudest after the 40-7 win on the home-road discrepancy for a .500 team that’s perfect at AT&T Stadium and winless with three mostly anemic offensive showings on the road. Up next before Dallas’ open week: a trip to NFC East-leading Washington (3-2), a half-game ahead of the Cowboys and defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia, tied at 3-3. “Obviously it’s something we can do, but we need to do it,” Elliott, emphasizing “need,” said Sunday after rushing for 106 yards and a touchdown....

Kimbrel, 31, earlier this month signed a reported $43 million deal with the Cubs that runs through the 2021 season but has yet to pitch in live games. He has made it clear he won’t rush back to the field. “It’s not about getting on the field as quickly as possible,” he said at his introductory press conference in Chicago. “It’s about being the best that I can.” Although Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein has not provided a timetable for when Kimbrel might make his Cubs debut, the Des Moines Register reported that the right-hander is expected to appear in around five games with Iowa before heading to Chicago....

Nendoroid Manufacturer Good Smile Company has announced two new models celebrating western video game icons who had a strong 2020.
