Harvick, in his first season with Stewart-Haas Racing, turned a fast lap of 190.398 mph Friday night to win the pole for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race Sunday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway. It was Harvick’s series-leading sixth pole of the season. He was the top qualifier for the second straight week after also topping qualifying at Bristol. Despite his success in qualifying this season, Harvick said a poor first round of qualifying left him in need of guidance from Stewart, the co-owner of the team....

But they could not seal the issue for a third tie, extending their unbeaten run to six matches, two points clear of UP (33) at the top of Zone B table....

Now the big question that lingered through this past NFL offseason will be asked again — has Rodgers played his last game with the Packers? “I’m gonna take some time and have conversations with the folks around here," Rodgers said after the game. “And then take some time away and make a decision—obviously before free agency.” Rodgers (20-of-29 passing, 225 yards) didn’t have one of his best games against the 49ers’ defense....

Put a little effort into dressing up for your dates, and encourage your husband to do the same.

Icardi’s treble came in a nine-minute first-half spell before a quickfire brace from fellow Argentinian Banega ensured 1-0 in the 17th minute became 5-0 after just 34 minutres. Inter smash seven past Atalanta Remo Freuler pulled one back for Atalanta before the break but Roberto Gagliardini lashed into the top corner to compound his former club’s misery and Banega clipped home a 67th-minute free-kick to complete the rout and his treble....

The midfield general scored a decisive dead-ball hat-trick to clinch a 3-1 victory over Honduras on Wednesday night to book Ange Postecoglou’s side’s place at next summer’s finals in Russia.

Resting on the seabed in the Fourni archipelago of islands in Greece, the shipwreck is located at a depth of around 150 feet. The wreck and its cargo is believed to come from the early Byzantine period, between 480 and 520, probably during the years of the emperor Anastasius I Dicorus. The Fourni archipelago is home to one of the largest concentrations of old shipwrecks in the world. Composed of 13 small islands, Fourni was important due to its location along routes that connected the Black and Aegean seas to Cyprus, the Levant, and Egypt, according to the non-profit research organization RPM Nautical....

The Bavarians were fired by a double from Robert Lewandowski to prevail 3-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday, with Douglas Costa also netting to complete the rout. ‘Neymar should change name to Reymar’ And in doing so they opened up a 10-point lead over closest challengers RB Leipzig, who went down 1-0 to Werder Bremen. It is the biggest advantage Bayern have enjoyed in the entire season, which was led by Leipzig for much of the first half before Bayern fought back to restore business as usual....

This cycle played out again this week. On Monday, Omar proudly shared a tweet in which she implicitly equated the United States and Israel to the Taliban and Hamas, claiming that they had all committed “unthinkable atrocities.” On Wednesday, a dozen of her Democratic colleagues in the House issued a statement condemning her comments as offensive and misguided, and urged her to clarify her words. Almost immediately, Omar, along with fellow Squad members Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), rushed to smear anyone who dared take offense at being compared to terrorists as racist and Islamophobic....

The study, which was published in JAMA Network Open, analyzed health data from more than 36,000 Americans aged 50 and above. The researchers found that those who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes between the ages of 50 and 59 had “elevated risks” of heart disease, stroke, disability, cognitive impairment, and early death. But when people were diagnosed with diabetes later in life, the risks were reduced. The study results highlighted “the importance of improving diabetes management in adults with earlier diagnosis,” according to the researchers....

The 27-year-old has often been used as the focal point of the Blues’ attack in 2017-18, with Alvaro Morata struggling for form, Olivier Giroud yet to settle fully and Michy Batshuayi having been loaned to Borussia Dortmund. It is not a role Hazard appears to enjoy, though, with the former Lille man saying after Chelsea’s 1-0 loss to Manchester City this month: “We could have played on for three hours, and I [still] wouldn’t touch a ball....

Had the brilliant Belgian not made the breakthrough at the Vitality Stadium, Morata would doubtless have come in for strong criticism for a wasteful evening in front of goal. Brighton 11/5 to beat Southampton The Spain international has been very effective since arriving at Stamford Bridge but the hamstring injury he suffered against Manchester City has disrupted his rhythm and he was grateful to Hazard for delivering the goods against a dogged Bournemouth side....

Coach Maurizio Sarri criticized Chelsea’s players after Saturday’s shock home loss against Leicester and they produced the reaction he was looking for at Vicarage Road. Brazil playmaker Willian hit the post from an acute angle after rounding goalkeeper Ben Foster before Hazard showed his teammate how it should be done in first-half stoppage time. Hazard was sent racing clear of the Watford defense and slotted the ball into an empty net after dribbling his way round Foster....

World number four Medvedev continued his exceptional form with a 6-4 6-1 triumph over Zverev - who had knocked out Roger Federer in the quarters - to claim his fourth title of 2019 in style. The US Open runner-up needed just an hour and 13-minutes to dismantle Zverev, who had enjoyed a resurgent week in Shanghai. Zverev labelled the Russian as “the best player in the world right now” before and after Medvedev’s convincing triumph, and the world number six believes the 23-year-old’s unique style is what makes him such a special talent....
