As wild as it is for fans to come to terms with seeing Brady in a Bucs jersey (preferably the creamsicle throwbacks), it’s presumably nothing compared to how Julian Edelman is feeling. The Patriots’ veteran wide receiver has played his entire nine-year with Brady, and some recent social media activity suggests he wants that to continue. Edelman “liked” a tweet from Hall-of-Famer Deion Sanders that claimed Brady playing without Edelman is like “(Michael) Jordan without Scottie Pippen, peanut butter without the jelly and Ice Tea without Sugar....

Geneticist Peter Forster, from the U.K.’s University of Cambridge, is leading a research project to understand the historical processes that led to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultimately, they hope to identify the first person who got the virus and served as the source for the initial outbreak.

Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told audiences at a media briefing on Wednesday that complacency is “one of the greatest dangers we face now.” “People in countries with stay-at-home orders are understandably frustrated with being confined to their homes for weeks on end,” said Ghebreyesus. “People understandably want to get on with their lives, because their lives and livelihoods are at stake,” he continued.“That’s what WHO wants too. And that’s what we are working for, all day, every day....

We were all there when Mario hit bottom; I’ll never forget it. Peach, Luigi, Toad, King Boo, even the two big shots from Nintendo, Mr. Iwata and Mr. Miyamoto, came to try and help our plumber pal get his head back on right. But at the time, he just wasn’t hearing it....

A mechanical keyboard built to deliver accurate key presses without fail, the K70 RGB Rapidfire is Corsair’s answer to the reliability question. In our entire time using the K70, the gaming keyboard rarely mistyped or missed a key press, thanks in large part to its design. It’s true that the RGB Rapidfire’s keys are bulky, raised up higher than the average mechanical keyboard. But, that extra height helps make the keys more accurate and easier to press....

Lake and Trumbull counties outside Cleveland filed a lawsuit in 2018 against retail pharmacy companies CVS, Walgreens, Walmart and Giant Eagle for contributing to the deadly and expensive crisis that has continued to rage in the counties. “They’re going to say, ‘We’re not any part of the problem,’” attorney Mark Lanier said. “They’re going to blame everyone but themselves.” Another pharmacy retailer, Rite-Aid, settled with Lake and Trumbull counties in August....

‘Costa irreplaceable for Chelsea’ Costa, 28, was dropped from the squad as the Blues downed Leicester 3-0 in the Premier League on Saturday, but he returns ahead of their next game against Hull City on Sunday.

The offer would have quadrupled Costa’s pay, earning him £30 million-a-year....

Atleti secured the win they needed to clinch a top-four finish in LaLiga on Saturday, despite playing over half an hour with 10 men following Mario Hermoso’s straight red card for a foul on Loren Moron. Costa was sent on as one of a trio of attacking changes just before Hermoso’s dismissal and, after Diego Simeone’s side absorbed some late pressure, he guided Yannick Carrasco’s free-kick into the bottom-right corner to seal the three points....

The New York City FC left-back suffered the injury in training and after he underwent an MRI, the club’s training staff determined he would be out for at least two weeks. Due to the length of the injury, Costa Rica has named Alajuelense defender Kenner Gutierrez as Matarrita’s replacement on the roster. Matarrita was set to take part in his first World Cup after making his debut with the Ticos in 2015....

Mexico not concerned about ‘CONCACAF giant’ status While Costa Rica plans to roll out the same tactical plan it would’ve had Guardado been able to take part in Friday’s World Cup qualification match, coach Oscar Ramirez already has taken his players through a run-down of what Mexico might look like when they meet at the Estadio Azteca. “I think the game is going to be really complicated. Of course Guardado is a very important player for Mexico, but they have players who are definitely good enough to replace him,” Costa Rica captain Bryan Ruiz said Tuesday....
