The Union news-dumped their offseason roster moves late Tuesday, announcing a formal parting of ways with Leon Flach. The club retains 24 players under contract for 2025, to be coached by a person still to be determined after the firing of Jim Curtin. That group includes Mikael Uhre, whose option automatically vested earlier in the season, and Isaiah LeFlore. It does not include Flach, out of contract at the end of the season and whom the Union are letting walk. The Union declined options on Homegrowns Brandon Craig and Matthew Real, defender Jack Elliott and forward Joaquin Torres. They also declined the purchase option for on-loan left back Jamir Berdecio. The Union described “ongoing negotiations” with Elliott, Craig and Alejandro Bedoya, who is out of contract. Also out of contract is Sam Adeniran, though the Union don’t plan to bring the forward acquired midseason from St. Louis back. Flach, still just 23, played 116 games (107 starts) with two goals and 10 assists in four seasons since coming over from St. Pauli in the German 2.Bundesliga. A dual U.S.-German citizen, he was more of a defense-first presence, one rated more highly by Curtin than Sporting Director Ernst Tanner. Flach said in October that he had not had any discussions with the club on a new contract by his choice. Berdecio, 22, was acquired on loan from Oriente Petrolero. He made 28 appearances for MLS Next Pro runner-up Union II but never made the squad for the first team. He made his international debut with Bolivia over the summer. Craig, 19, is a Homegrown product who has made one appearance with the Union for three minutes in 2022. He was loaned to Austin FC but did not play in 2023, then spent 2024 on loan with El Paso Locomotive in the USL Championship, with one goal in 19 appearances. Real, now 25, made 52 appearances for the Union since 2018. He spent the season with the Colorado Springs Switchbacks, leading them to the USL title. LeFlore was signed by the Union last offseason from Houston but tore his ACL in the preseason and missed the entire year. Torres was loaned out to Chilean club Universidad Catolica in the spring. He was acquired from Montreal in 2023 but made just 14 appearances for the Union with one goal.Murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO ignites online fury over health insurance industry
Antonio Brown has always got jokes. The former NFL star and social media presence has gotten in hot water for making fun of pretty much everyone. He decided to keep his trolling streak going on November 26, when he targeted Kim Kardashian . While most celebrities have been supportive of Kardashian taking an interest in law, AB decided to target the celebrity's intelligence with a meme from a classic Adam Sandler movie. No caption needed, the message was loud and clear. Kim Kardashian posted a photo of herself to Instagram with the caption: "law school." As we previously noted, the celebrity's foray into law has been met with praise from fans. But this particular post turned a few heads. Fans were perplexed as to why Kardashian was still in law school. Especially since a standard law degree takes three years. Antonio Brown saw a wide opening with regards to mockery, and he took it. He posted a photo of Adam Sandler from the 1995 cult classic Billy Madison . Sandler's titular character sits among elementary school students while AB's caption reads: "Kim Kardashian begins year 7 of law school." Read More: Young Thug Reunites With Antonio Brown In The Studio After His Release The plot of Billy Madison sees Sandler's character attend grades 1-12 in an attempt to inherit his dad's fortune. Antonio Brown knew exactly what he was doing when he posted the photo, and fans flocked to the comment section with laughing emojis. Kim Kardashian has spoken at length about her aspiration to become a lawyer. She cited her late father, Robert Kardashian, as her biggest career influence. She also admitted that she failed her first year of law school, which has likely contributed to her lengthy degree process. Kim Kardashian provided an update on her law school progress during a 2023 appearance on Today. "I'm still studying," she conceded. "I'm actually in constitutional law 1 and 2 right now. Not the biggest fan of it, I've been sharing my struggle. But with that said, I took a midterm yesterday. I got 100 percent... That gives me that boost of confidence again just to push through." Kim Kardashian will not be deterred from achieving her dream, even if people like Antonio Brown are going to clown her for it.Zurcher Kantonalbank Zurich Cantonalbank grew its holdings in shares of Sapiens International Co.

Trump’s tariffs promise chaos — and Australia’s investments are in the firing lineBurnley are unbeaten at Turf Moor this season and second in the Championship but Carrick says there were no Boro celebrations after Friday night's 1-1 draw, with his players instead disappointed they didn't pick up all three points. Boro led through Anfernee Dijksteel but were pegged back by Connor Roberts' equaliser eight minutes before the break. Burnley had been on top for much of the second half but Boro were excellent after the break and George Edmundson, Tommy Conway, Delano Burgzorg and substitute Emmanuel Latte Lath all had chances to win it for Boro. RECOMMENDED READING: Carrick was delighted with the way his side rose to the challenge and also dealt with the brutal weather, with Storm Darragh making conditions almost unplayable at times. Carrick said: "It was a tough night to play football. Both teams tried to make the most of it and both of us had spells in the game where we played some good stuff and looked dangerous. A point is a point. "The positive for us is playing against a team that have given next to nothing away at home this season, to be disappointed to just score one goal probably shows where we're at. "It's certainly not a celebration in there, it's a bit of disappointment and thinking we could have had more. Maybe they think similar. "To come away from home and do what we did, in the conditions as well, we'll take a lot of positives." Carrick added: "At times we had to dig in and defend well. It wasn't pretty at times. In moments we looked good and dangerous. "Maybe not that long ago we'd have lost a game like this. But we got stronger and at times in the second half I thought we were going to take all three points."Taoiseach Simon Harris not aware if staff asked RTE to remove viral video clip

OnlyFans model Ava Louise is living for the perks of her job ... scoring free tickets to an NFL game on the guarantee she'd flash a rival team. Check it out ... the Internet personality took to Instagram Sunday and documented her journey to MetLife Stadium, where she cheered on the New York Giants as they faced off against the New Orleans Saints. Ava said she was there with a purpose, however ... sharing an OnlyFans exchange between herself and alleged member of the Giants' roster. As you can see in her upload, the football player invited Ava to Sunday's game ... and asked her to "flash the Saints to distract them." The unnamed football player didn't identify himself in the exchange, as he noted he didn't want to get a fine for orchestrating her attendance at the game. Ava appeared to make good on her promise, nonetheless ... she posted a censored photo of herself flashing field -- with little to no one catching on. In fact, the men in the stands by her looked so focused on the field, they didn't realize she totally lifted up her shirt. She later wrote in the caption ... "Doing what I do for a living has its perks ❤️❤️ #gogiants" The OnlyFans model's stunt didn't do much to help the Giants ... the NY-based team lost to the Saints by 3 points. This isn't the first time that Ava's bare bosom has made a splash online. As TMZ previously reported, the OF model took credit for the NYC-Dublin portal shutting down after flashing her cans on the transcontinental cam. She's just poppin' up everywhere!!!
Real Madrid’s big stars turned on the style to revive the Spanish giant’s faltering Champions League title defense on Tuesday. Galacticos Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham all scored in a thrilling 3-2 win at Italian league leader Atalanta. But Madrid still had to ride its luck as Mateo Retegui fired over from in front of goal in stoppage time when handed a golden chance to level the game. It was only Madrid’s third win in the competition’s revamped league phase and leaves the 15-time champion in the unseeded playoff positions in 18th place. “It’s a very important win. Not everyone wins here. We suffered and competed. In the Champions League, you have to suffer,” Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said. “It’s still difficult to finish in the top eight, but we have two games left to earn points.” Six-time champion Liverpool leads the way after maintaining its perfect record in Europe this season with a 1-0 win against Girona. Like Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain also picked up a much-needed win, beating Salzburg 3-0 to sit in the last playoff spot in 24th place. Bayer Leverkusen is second after a 1-0 win over Inter Milan, while Aston Villa beat Leipzig 3-2 and is third. The top eight teams advance directly to the round of 16. Positions nine to 24 face a playoff to reach the next phase. After three losses in its opening five games of the league phase, the pressure was mounting on Madrid. Questions were also being asked of Mbappe after his uncertain start since his offseason move from PSG. But he produced a moment of class to fire Madrid 1-0 up after 10 minutes at Gewiss Stadium — controlling the ball with his left foot and then finishing low with his right. It was the 25-year-old Mbappe's 50th Champions League goal . Lionel Messi is the only player to have reached that number at a younger age. Mbappe was substituted off before halftime with an apparent physical issue and Charles De Ketelaere leveled the game before the break from the penalty spot. But two goals inside three second-half minutes from Vinicius Junior and Bellingham put Madrid in control. Ademola Lookman's goal made it 3-2, but Madrid survived Retegui's late effort and held on. Mohamed Salah’s 50th Champions League goal maintained Liverpool’s perfect record in the competition this season. The Egypt forward struck a 63rd minute penalty to seal the win in Spain that kept Liverpool atop the 36-team league. But even after a sixth straight win for the Merseyside club, head coach Arne Slot was critical of his players in a game that saw goalkeeper Alisson pull off several saves to keep Girona out. “If you ask me about all the six games, I’m really pleased with all the results, I am really pleased with the five (other) games with the way we played. I’m far from pleased about the performance tonight,” he said. Salah’s goal was his 16th in 22 appearances overall this season. Girona was 30th with just one win from six games. “I almost feel sorry for them because they deserved so much more in this Champions League campaign than the three points they have until now. But we have an incredible goalkeeper,” said Slot, whose team also leads the Premier League. Liverpool’s two remaining games are against Lille at home and PSV Eindhoven away in January. U.S. international Christian Pulisic is the only player to have scored against Liverpool in this season’s Champions League in a 3-1 loss for Milan in September. Bayern Munich routed Shakhtar Donetsk 5-1 to move into the automatic qualifying positions for the round of 16. Michael Olise scored a wonderful solo goal by dribbling past a host of players for his first of two in the game. Bayern's win came after going 1-0 down inside five minutes to a goal from Brazilian winger Kevin. PSG is not done yet. A miserable start to the league phase saw the French giant pick up just four points from five games as it adjusted tp life without stars like Mbappe, Messi and Neymar, who have all departed in the past two seasons. But victory at Salzburg moved PSG up into the playoff positions. Goncalo Ramos, Nuno Mendes and Desire Doue all scored. Leverkusen is back on a roll after struggling to repeat the success of last season's stunning German league and cup double. It's now six straight wins in all competitions, with Nordi Mukiele's 90th minute goal securing victory against Inter and moving Leverkusen into second on 13 points — five behind Liverpool. Villa, Inter and Brest are all on 13 points as well. Inter dropped to fourth after conceding for the first time in this season's competition. Villa is third after its own resurgence in form. Victory against Leipzig was its third in a row after an eight-game winless run. Brest is one of this season’s surprise packages on its Champions League debut and is fifth after beating PSV Eindhoven 1-0. Sporting Lisbon, in 12th, couldn’t build on taking a third-minute lead at Club Brugge — losing 2-1 in Belgium. Brugge is 14th. Dinamo Zagreb drew 0-0 with Celtic and both teams remain in the playoff positions.

The murder of UnitedHealthcare's CEO in New York on Wednesday has ignited a firestorm of fury online about the health insurance industry. Brian Thompson was shot and killed Wednesday morning, but many social media users have exhibited a morbid indifference or even cheerfulness in reacting to his death. "Of course I would have been happy to send my condolences after the United Healthcare CEO was killed," one person posted in a video on TikTok. "Unfortunately, sympathy requires a prior authorization, and I have to deny that request." One person commented on previous Scripps News reporting saying, "Private health insurance is evil so... this doesn't concern me 1 bit." RELATED STORY | 'Depose,' 'Deny,' 'Defend' reportedly written on shell casings in slaying of UnitedHealthcare CEO Many other online users posted about their challenging experiences with UnitedHealthcare, including stories of being denied coverage by the provider. The words "deny," "defend" and "depose" were written on ammunition the shooter used, according to law enforcement. Those words caused some on social media to draw a connection to a 2010 book with a similar title, "Delay, Deny, Defend," about insurance companies failing to pay claims. Denial of health insurance claims have been increasing across the board, according to a U.S. Senate Investigative report found by Scripps News. It found UnitedHealthcare's denial rate for post-acute care climbed from almost 11% in 2020 to nearly 23% in 2022, and Humana's denial rate for long-term post-acute care grew by 54% during that same time span. A new survey from The Commonwealth Fund found nearly one in four older U.S. adults spent at least $2,000 out of pocket on health care last year. The online response to Thompson's murder isn't a surprise to Stephan Meier, the chair of the management division at Columbia Business School, given the industry in which the CEO worked. "It's not so surprising if you look at, you know, surveys about what industries are liked or not, are trusted or not, and health insurers are not at the top of that list, to put it mildly," Meier said. There are signs the industry is taking notice of the backlash. CVS Health has taken down photos of its executives posted to its website, as security concerns grow for industry leaders.
As the AFC North-leading Pittsburgh Steelers set out to reach the opposite end of the PA Turnpike to compete in the " Pennsylvania State Championship ", the fact that they have not won an away game against their interstate rivals since 1965 must loom large. The last time the Steelers beat their Week 15 opponent, the Philadelphia Eagles, in Philadelphia, Bill Nelsen quarterbacked the team to a 20-14 victory in October of 1965. Nelsen got injured when the teams had a rematch eight weeks later, and his backup went on to throw seven interceptions in a game which took place 59 years ago on Dec. 12, 1965 — and that began a streak of 10 straight losses in Philly for the intruders from Western PA. While celebrated head coach Mike Tomlin and his no-nonsense attitude will no doubt put zero stock into that statistic, the fact remains that his teams have historically not done any better in Philadelphia than Pittsburgh’s two other legendary coaches. The Last time the Steelers visited the City of Brotherly Love in 2022, the Eagles battered them, 35-13, as elite wideout A.J. Brown racked up 156 yards and three touchdowns. That brought the all-time series record to 49-29-3, making Philly one of the few teams Pittsburgh has a losing record against. To make matters worse, the Steelers’ own star wide receiver George Pickens is expected to miss Sunday’s game , which could devastate Pittsburgh’s offensive production in a way similar to what happens to the defense when T.J. Watt misses games. That certainly contributes to the betting line; Vegas currently has the Eagles as 4.5-point favorites, predicting them to push their streak into its 60th year and beyond. Breaking that trend would mean a lot, but the real prize for a win on Sunday in Philly? That would be clinching a playoff spot , as well as the guarantee of being at least two games ahead in the AFC North when the Steelers roll into Baltimore for another crucial game next Saturday. MORE PITTSBURGH STEELERS NEWS Elandon Roberts makes definitive statement about future with Steelers Mike Tomlin hints bigger things are coming for Mike Williams Steelers have multiple avenues to clinch playoff berth in Week 15
