Aadrina Smith, 24, organized the alleged attack at North Caddo Elementary Middle School in Vivian, Louisiana, where she was a substitute teacher. During a P.E. class on August 23, she allegedly offered to pay five different students $5 each to tackle their classmate, said the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office. Video obtained by the sheriff’s office showed Smith speaking with five students and appearing to congratulate three of them. Those three middle schoolers then tackled their classmate, who lay on the gym floor while the substitute teacher watched....

The video posted on Bird’s Twitter account begins with a clip of Team USA’s Diana Taurasi being interviewed by an ESPN reporter. It then cuts to footage of the team dancing to a song by rapper Cardi B, while showing off their gold medals in a locker room setting, which was first shared by Team USA women’s basketball player A’ja Wilson on Instagram account. Wilson’s Instagram post said: “We loving @iamcardib after winning gold!...

Odisha Panthers have looked almost unstoppable in the Odisha Cricket League. They have won five games in a row and are sitting pretty at the top of the points table. Barring their last game against Odisha Jaguars, which they won in a Super Over, Odisha Panthers have been dominant, both while batting first or chasing. The Basant Mohanty-led side start as the favourites for this Odisha Cricket League game....

Just as the Rocksteady Studios name is well-known for its Batman titles, so too should it strive to let Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League stand on its own. Batman may be in the game, but his overall participation should be kept to a minimum so that other characters can have their time in the spotlight. Just as the Joker unceremoniously stole the show for one final time in Batman: Arkham Knight, Batman shouldn’t overstay his welcome in this anti-hero adventure....

Xavi Hernandez, fondly called ‘El Maestro’ by the Blaugranas, made his 700th appearance in a Barcelona strip against Getafe in the second leg of the round of 16 stage in the Copa Del Rey. It has been 16 years since the debut of this ‘Midfield Maestro’ , who arguably is the best midfielder Barcelona has ever produced and a graduate of the ‘La Masia’ - Barcelona’s youth academy which is known to be one of the best academies in the world....

RELATED: Final Fantasy: What Summon Are You Based On Your Chines Zodiac? Final Fantasy 16’s Dominance Trailer revealed that Shiva, Garuda, Titan, Phoenix, Ramuh, Odin, Bahamut, and Ifrit will appear in the game, leaving fans to wonder if there will be more. This new installment has centered its trailers around the summoning mechanic and, though they have revealed a great deal already, several summons have likely been denied an appearance in the trailer to enhance the surprise upon the game’s full release....

My first day at the fesival began outside the very crowded 11:30 a.m. premiere of “The Business of Strangers.” As I suspected, my “events press” badge would get me bubkis in this situation; without any planning on my part, I’d have been put on a long waiting list with the general public. Fortunately, I’d spoken with the film’s publicist beforehand, and she promised to have a ticket for me. But when I got there, 30 minutes beforehand, my PR contact was nowhere in sight....

In a blog post, Page and Brin said: “With Alphabet now well-established, and Google and the Other Bets operating effectively as independent companies, it’s the natural time to simplify our management structure. We’ve never been ones to hold on to management roles when we think there’s a better way to run the company. And Alphabet and Google no longer need two CEOs and a President. Going forward, Sundar will be the CEO of both Google and Alphabet....

Referee: Anthony Taylor Kick-off: 8:30 PM (IST), Saturday, 9th of February In a clash, which bears much greater significance for the visitors than the hosts, Arsenal travel to Sunderland to take on Martin O’Neill’s men in a bid to gain ground on Tottenham and Everton in the race for fourth spot. With 41 points from 25 games, Arsenal currently sit in sixth spot, one point behind the Toffees, and four behind their London rivals, each of whom have played 25 games as well....

And the task ahead was challenging — rebuilding a tattered Phoenix Suns franchise that had the worst record in the Western Conference in 2012-13. This week, the tone couldn’t be more different. A huge turnaround season will do that. The Suns were one of the NBA’s biggest surprises, going 48-34 and barely missing the playoffs in the tough Western Conference. They did it with a highly entertaining up-tempo style that made them the top fast-break team in the league....

While the players, led by their backcourt duo of Chris Paul and Devin Booker, along with head coach Monty Williams were lauded for their achievement, there were plenty playing it down saying they caught ’lightning in a bottle’ or the fact that the Suns, in each round of the Western Conference playoffs, faced teams that were majorly handicapped with injuries. Now, both those points are true. In a truncated 2020-21 season where plenty of teams, including those considered among the contenders, were forced to overcome injuries or multiple postponed games, the Suns enjoyed a healthy roster for a majority of the season and were only impacted for a week by ‘postponed games’....

The Dallas Mavericks completely stunned the NBA’s best team all season long, routing the Phoenix Suns in a wire-to-wire victory. The Mavericks never trailed and led by as much as 46 points, handling the No. 1 seed in the West to advance to their first Conference Finals appearance since 2011. Behind 35 points from Luka Doncic, 30 points from Spencer Dinwiddie and 24 points from Jalen Brunson, Dallas had too much firepower for the struggling Suns to handle....

The Jos-based side has been racking victory upon victory (although they experienced a dip in form recently) in the Nigerian top-flight and they currently find themselves occupying the second position on the table. This midweek though, they will be facing another team that has been in the talks for a while - Sunshine Stars. The Akure Gunners put in a series of strong performances at the beginning of the season that helped push them to a decent spot in the rankings....

Instead, it was my daughter on the line—ah, the swift and dexterous dialing fingers of youth—and I immediately detected the anxiety in her voice. “Are you all right, dad?” she asked. I thought, “What kind of jerk does she think that I am, that my physical and mental health couldn’t withstand the heartbreak of a New England Patriots defeat?” Then, of course, I realized: exactly the kind of jerk she’s known for the 20 years of her life....

Brady threw a pick-six in the second quarter. He went for a tackle on the Falcons’ Robert Alford, and it went just about as well as you’d expect. Just because it’s expected, though, doesn’t mean Twitter would let up on Brady. MORE: Super Bowl 51 live score, updates, highlights and more Stay lit, Twitter.

Sunday’s game will mark the 11th time the Miami Metropolitan Area has hosted the Super Bowl, more than any of the 14 other locations that have staged the NFL championship game (New Orleans should draw level in 2024, when it is scheduled to host Super Bowl LVIII). The 10 Super Bowls played in Miami include three of the first five Super Bowls, the first of the post-merger NFL in 1971 and the one that arguably created the modern-day tradition of the Super Bowl as an event that transcends football....

The two sides had similar seasons in their respective leagues as they finished in the bottom half of the table. Chennai City barely avoided the drop from I-League as they finished on the eight spot on the table, whereas, ATK who were the defending champions from last season had a disappointing ninth-place finish. ATK won in convincing fashion as they scored four goals past Chennai City FC with Hitesh Sharma, Zequinha, Robbie Keane and Ashutosh Mehta getting their name on the scoresheet....

Right after the announcement of the first edition of this event, a tweet suggesting a game to come up with an innovative name for the tournament was announced.
