Elliot Anderson recalls his time at Bristol Rovers, where he experienced a vibrant team culture filled with practical jokes, including a memorable prank involving fish in a teammate's car.

I am truly honored to serve as the Chief of Police Services for the city of San Carlos, a community I've had the pleasure of serving throughout my career. It's a big job, but I'm confident that with the support of the city, the sheriff and the great people who work here, we're going to make positive strides in policing that reflect local values.

Madison Perry scored five goals and Coral Haines contributed a hat-trick as they overwhelmed Billericay Town in Sunday's match in Essex. Megan Chandler (two), Poppy Wilson, Annie Rossiter, Flo Fyfe and Lucy Lyon were also on the scoresheet, Lyon finding the net with a brilliant overhead kick.

It didn't take too long for the Chicago Bears to name Ian Cunningham's replacement. Jeff King is the Bears' new assistant general manager. King takes the place of Cunningham, who left for the Atlanta Falcons general GM gig in late January. Elevating King into a new role as the right-hand man for GM Ryan Poles provides some stability and continuity at the top of the front office.

Watford appointing a new head coach is not really new news. Watford having a third head coach in the same season is not really new news either, but Watford appointing Ed Still is definitely news. Having watched his brother Will succeed on the continent but then fail with Southampton in the Championship this season, it has not deterred the older sibling from stepping into the chaotic world of Vicarage Road.

McDonald's launched a pre-Valentine's Day promotion on Tuesday, allowing nugget fans across the country to sign up for free delivery of a 1-oz tin of baerii sturgeon caviar from Paramount Caviar, eight ounces of crème fraîche, and a $25 voucher to buy McNuggets to pair with it, while supplies last. I got my hands on a kit ahead of the launch and have to say, I didn't expect to like the combination as much as I did.

According to SPORT, FC Barcelona are fully aware that the club cannot afford for Barça Atlètic to spend another season in the fourth tier of Spanish football (Segunda RFEF). As such, the club consider it a priority for the team coached by Juliano Belletti to gain promotion, thereby reducing the gap to the elite. Beyond sporting considerations, there are also practical advantages, such as avoiding poor-quality pitches that carry a risk of injury.

National Popcorn Day returns on January 19, and Regal is making the 2026 holiday a celebration to be remembered.

Oxford United took the long road back to the second tier of English football. After they were relegated from what was then Division One in 1999, they spent the next quarter of a century dropping and then climbing again. Where some teams bounce around from one level to another, Oxford committed to the way down and then the way back. They changed direction only once, in 2009-10, when they were promoted after four years in the Conference.

Union Berlin are no ordinary promoted side. The team, who have worked their way up from the Regionalliga to the Bundesliga in just two short years, appear too determined, too united and too well organised. What takes years elsewhere is the result of a clear plan in the Köpenick region of Berlin and a club that has found its own pace.

This time last year, Sunderland were dreaming of promotion to the Premier League after going top of the Championship table by beating Luton Town. Fast forward 12 months and the Black Cats have just beaten Club World Cup champions Chelsea to move to within two points of leaders Arsenal in the Premier League table. To describe Sunderland's start merely as a dream would be to do it a disservice.

Mike Elias quietly received a promotion in the offseason, per reporting from Ken Rosenthal and Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic. His previous title with the Orioles was general manager but he was promoted to president of baseball operations before the 2025 campaign began. Today's report adds that the O's plan to hire a GM to work under Elias. The title change is largely ceremonial.

$3.50 for an Anna's super burrito... in this economy!?

Apple just announced the iPhone Air, which, as you might guess by the name, is something Apple is marketing as extremely thin and light. It's 5.6mm thin and has a ProMotion display, one camera, Apple's Ceramic Shield 2 glass on both sides, and an A19 Pro chip. But what does it actually feel like to hold? I (Allison) got to actually pick up the phone at Apple's launch event today, and it sure is light.

Each order includes a choice of protein; choice of white or brown rice; choice of black beans or pinto beans; one premium side, either guacamole or Queso Blanco; cheese; romaine lettuce; eight flour tortillas; two large orders of chips; a large portion of sour cream; and choice of three salsas. Prices vary by location. Spot-checking Southern California restaurants online, we found $59-$63 plus tax for chicken or Sofritas, the chain's non-meat protein option, and $70-$74 for steak or barbacoa.
