Edema How to say it: Edema (eh-DEE-muh) What it means: An abnormal buildup of fluid in the body; swelling. Where it comes from: From Greek, oidēma, “swelling.” Where you might see or hear it: If you badly sprain your ankle on a hike and need to get medical care, the doctor examining you might note that there is edema around your ankle or foot (which means that the area is swollen)....
The Giants (0-5) are on pace to have the first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, but are only two games out of first place behind Dallas. There hasn’t been much to cheer for on the offensive side of the ball as Daniel Jones hasn’t thrown a touchdown since Week 1. With the absence of Saquon Barkley for the year, Jones is also the team’s leading rusher with just 137 yards....
Miami showed a little more fight in Game 2 on Friday after a Game 1 blowout despite missing veteran point guard Goran Dragic and blossoming All-Star big man Bam Adebayo, but they have yet to truly push the Lakers in the series. Dragic and Adebayo are again listed as doubtful for Game 3, which means Heat coach Erik Spoelstra will have his hands full once more as he tries to concoct a plan to slow down the so-far indomitable LA tandem of LeBron James and Anthony Davis....
Both teams are sitting right outside the playoff field. While the Jets have slowly slipped out of a postseason spot over the past month, the Lions are on the rise and suddenly have a real shot at making the playoffs. MORE: Updated NFL playoff picture for Week 15 The Jets dropped a divisional game to the Bills in Buffalo last week. Quarterback Mike White left the game with an injury before returning to finish the contest....
MORE: Get updates and highlights from Lions-Packers It wasn’t long ago when Green Bay’s playoff hopes were on life support, but everything has broken the Packers’ way since their 4-8 mark following Week 12. Since then, four straight wins have put the Packers in control of their own destiny, with Sunday’s game do-or-die for Matt LaFleur’s boys. The Lions were glued to their TVs at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday — Detroit still had a chance to make the playoffs, but needed help from the Rams....
The NFL schedule for Week 8 brings us a matchup that looked a lot more intriguing a little more than a week ago. Thanks in part to the knee injury that is keeping Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes out of this game, the Packers enter Sunday night as four-point road favorites, per Sportsbook Review. Of course, the Chiefs have injury issues that extend beyond the ailment of the reigning NFL MVP....
Naturally, the hype around Sunday’s divisional matchup in Green Bay is centered on the superstar quarterbacks. Plus, the Seahawks and Packers have a rich recent history of amazing games. There’s no reason to expect anything different this year. Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers enters Sunday having thrown at least two touchdown passes in each of his last five postseason games. With four more against Seattle, he would tie Peyton Manning (40) for the fourth most career postseason touchdown passes in NFL history....
After San Diego and Philadelphia split the first two games of the series, the Phillies won Game 3 at Citizens Bank Park. Now, the pressure is on San Diego to avoid a 3-1 deficit. It will be fascinating to watch how Padres manager Bob Melvin and Phillies skipper Rob Thomson handle this matchup. Will they trust their starters or turn to their bullpens early? Those decisions could very well decide the game — and the series....
Since his coming out party as an elite quarterback against the Browns, Justin Herbert has had ups and downs for Los Angeles. His best game since was two weeks ago against the Eagles, in which he threw for 356 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. That game, however, is the Chargers’ one win since the Browns game. The Chargers are just 1-3 since, and they’re failing to capitalize on an AFC West that struggled in recent weeks....
On the surface, it appears as if the sixth-ranked Cowboys (4-0, 3-0 Big 12) should have no problem against the unranked Longhorns (4-2, 2-2 Big 12). But Oklahoma State now likely carries the hopes for the entire conference as the lone undefeated team remaining in the Big 12. How will Mike Gundy’s squad handle that pressure? That remains to be seen in a game that has been close each of the last three seasons; Oklahoma State has won two of the last three by three points apiece, though Texas did score a 36-30 win in 2020....
The last time the USMNT competed in a World Cup match, it suffered a devastating extra-time loss to Belgium in Brazil. Eight years is a long time, however, and the Americans are hoping their youthful bunch can outpace a veteran Welsh team in Qatar. That will be no easy task, admittedly. Led by Gareth Bale — arguably the greatest Welsh player of the 21st century — the Dragons have been a stout adversary to their Home Nations counterparts over the years, famously making it to the European Championship semifinal in 2016 before bowing out to champions Portugal....
NBA League Pass: Sign up to unlock live out-of-market games (7-day free trial) Similar to the first game on ESPN from Wednesday’s 13-game NBA slate, where the Heat host the Bucks, both these West Coast teams enter this matchup on two completely different ends of the spectrum. The Warriors are tied for the best record in the league at 20-4 and are owners of the league’s best defense. Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers have lost six of their last seven games and are ranked 30th, last in the league for defensive rating....

Tom Hanks is an Oscar-winning household name beloved for iconic roles in movies like Forrest Gump, Toy Story and Castaway. An actor in his own right, 30-year-old Chet Hanks has had recurring roles on such shows as Empire and Shameless and has released his own rap music.

On Sunday, Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) announced on Instagram that an exhibition bout against Paul will take place on February 20, 2021. “Super exhibition, Feb. 20, 2021,” the caption under a split image of he and Paul read. White, however, swiftly questioned the wisdom of holding a bout pitting one of the greatest boxers in history against a YouTube sensation with the grand total of one professional bout under his belt....
According to Vanity Fair, the actress broke down in tears while delivering her acceptance speech and hoped that her victory would pave the way for more women of color to earn their recognition at the Oscars: Unfortunately, nearly two decades later, Halle Berry continues to be the only African-American recipient of the Best Actress category in the history of Academy Awards. During a recent interview for ABC’s Soul of a Nation: Screen Queens Rising special, the X-Men star revealed that she feels “completely heartbroken” to remain the only African-American Oscar winner for Best Actress:...

However, in the United States, the voters themselves do not elect a president. That power instead belongs to the 538 electors from all 50 states and Washington, D.C. who participate in the Electoral College. That state’s population, according to the most recent U.S. census, determines each state’s number of electors. On Election Day, voters in presidential elections actually vote to decide which candidate’s electors from their state will participate in the Electoral College, according to information from the National Archives....
