A controversial call helped send the Cowboys to Sunday’s divisional round at Green Bay, and another controversial call knocked them out of the postseason all together.

Among the conspiracy theorists, Christie included those who believe that widespread voter fraud “stole” the 2020 election from Republican former President Donald Trump, who lost the election by more than 7 million popular votes. Trump’s attorney general and head of election security both said there was no evidence of widespread fraud. “Listen, as Republicans, we need to free ourselves from the quicksand of endless grievances,” Christie said. “We need to discredit the extremists in our midsts....

Den Of Geek! has a review for Christmas Bounty here, and pretty much ripped it to shreds. They wrote: “It isn’t funny, the script looks like it could have used another couple of rewrites, most of the actors are too obnoxious to stand and even the action is affected by the, ‘You’re watching ABC Family! Somebody just got shot, but this sure is wacky!’ sound effects and direction. All that and there’s very little reason for it to even be a Christmas movie in the first place....

As the deadline approaches, the trade market is bubbling to life. On Monday, the Pittsburgh Penguins shipped Alex Galchenyuk, a defense prospect, and a conditional first-round pick to the Minnesota Wild for winger Jason Zucker. Last week, the Toronto Maple Leafs acquired goaltender Jack Campbell and winger Kyle Clifford from the Los Angeles Kings.

The former defensive end, who just last week revealed his longtime marijuana use and detailed how he beat NFL drug tests shortly after announcing his retirement, said Tuesday he hopes the league will one day overcome the stigma associated with the drug, but admitted there’s still much progress to be made. “I think the reaction has been interesting because even people that support you, it just shows the stigmatization is so ingrained,” Long said, via ESPN....

Martin came into the game in the top of the eighth with the Braves leading the Cardinals 3-1, threw his warmup pitches and then called the trainer out to see him. The trainer talked with Martin and manager Brian Snitker and then Martin immediately left the game. Martin suffered an oblique injury and will undergo an MRI on Friday. He told WSB-TV he will be out for the remainder of the NLDS....

So whatever the 39-year-old version of Pierce had in mind when he went up for a dunk against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, he probably didn’t envision it like this. Pierce missed the dunk, and ended up on his back out of bounds. Chris Paul, who gave Pierce the ball in the first place, showed up for a little comic relief. The point guard feigned giving his teammate CPR after the fall, cracking up pretty much everyone, including Pierce....

Chris Sale just made his season debut on July 12, hurling five innings vs. the Rays after dealing with a stress fracture to one of his ribs in March. Now, he may not be hurling for the foreseeable future. Sale exited Sunday’s Yanks-Sawx matchup after taking an Aaron Hicks line drive off his pitching hand. The result was less than pretty: Sale’s pinky was totally mangled, and he removed himself immediately after the play....

At times, Pulisic was a key contributor, scoring and assisting key goals in bunches in a free-flowing attack. Other times, he was deployed in awkward positions that saw his production flounder. And still others, he was relegated to the trainer’s room with nagging injuries that stunted his potential. Ultimately, he collected 1,285 Premier League minutes across 22 league appearances, including 13 starts. He added 368 Champions League minutes in seven appearances, plus 554 minutes in other competitions....

The English fullback was simply phenomenal last term for the Eagles and with Manchester United constantly struggling at the right-back position in the season gone by, Wan-Bissaka’s arrival makes a lot of sense for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. One major issue for Manchester United supporters has been the lack of natural fullbacks but with Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s signing, the club has made a solid statement. The former Crystal Palace man topped the interceptions chart with 84 to his name whereas no Manchester United defender was to be found in the top 10 with Ashley young being the highest-ranked Red Devil, hovering at a lowly 18th position having made 55 interceptions....

Christmas is so much more than just a celebration. It’s hope and joy—it’s a spirit. But it is also a trying time for many, particularly those who have lost close family or friends or are enduring hardship. In fact, the birth of Jesus under the cover of darkness was itself fraught with peril, with King Herod in hot pursuit to kill the child and protect his own power. Even in America, Christmas has not always been a time for carefree celebration....
