RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - The rowers in Canada’s women’s eight boat were not even born when their cox Lesley Thompson-Willie made her Olympic debut back in 1984 in Los Angeles. As the Rio 2016 Olympic Games get underway, the 56-year-old Thompson-Willie becomes only the second female athlete to compete at eight Olympic Games, joining canoe sprinter Josefa Idem-Guerrini in that pantheon. “I love coxing,” she said. “There’s nothing like the feeling of a boat going fast....

The Football Association has also echoed Hodgson’s feelings and has backed the coach saying that he had to reconstruct an ‘ageing’ team and the real test lies ahead....

The opener, who came into the match in fine form after hitting 153 against Bangladesh in England’s last outing, was in immediate discomfort chasing a single in the outfield, which left captain Eoin Morgan expressing concern for the 28-year-old. James Vince - the only back-up batsman in England’s squad - took Roy’s place in the field.

Even though not many surprises were thrown our way during the event, there were still some moments which did leave us shocked for a moment or two.

Speaking to Newsmax, Giuliani hit out at the panel investigating the events which led up to the Capitol attack, taking particular issue with Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat who is on the committee and also led the prosecution for Trump’s first impeachment trial in 2017. “Why is he on this phony January 6 committee? He has already been proven to be a liar, who’s willing to lie to just dislodge the president,” Giuliani said in reference to Schiff’s claims that he had evidence that Trump colluded with Russia before and after the 2016 election....

Giuliani made the remarks during an appearance on the latest edition of Fox News’ Hannity.

Giuliani insisted that it had been his “burden” to defend Trump, who he said was innocent of any crime, while his investigation into Hunter Biden had found that the current president was “one of the biggest criminals in the history of the country....

AP college football writer Ralph Russo tells PodcastOne Sports Now that Harbaugh’s job is safe, despite the rout at Ohio State. But Russo wonders how he’ll close the gap on Buckeye coach Urban Meyer, who has out-recruited, out-schemed and outmaneuvered his archrival in all four of their meetings thus far. “That’s the type of loss that will probably make Jim Harbaugh, probably should make Jim Harbaugh, kind of question everything he’s doing,” Russo tells hosts Jim Litke and Tim Dahlberg....

The gaming conference is set to be held from Thursday, March 28th - Sunday, March 31st in Boston. As for why some suspect Starfield to make an appearance of some kind, the rumor originates from a recent survey Bethesda sent out. One of the questions on it asks which Bethesda titles people are excited to see at PAX East, with one them being Starfield itself. While it’s easy to get excited to finally see more footage of the game, it should be noted that this is only speculation and the question in the survey also notes that some of the games mentioned in the survey might not be present at the convention....

A report in England this week claimed that Manchester United have rejected a £60million bid for De Gea, who has been linked with the Spanish champions for much of the last year.

He did, however, suggest that only “one or two” of Madrid’s reported targets will be signed before the start of next season....
