It was later explained by Elliott’s camp as a harmless bit of a hand-aided wardrobe malfunction between two young partiers who would still end up “hanging out” later....

And nobody on the roster will be more individually affected on the field if Elliott is suspended. Several days into training camp, the Cowboys were still awaiting word from the NFL as to whether Elliott will be punished for 2016 claims of domestic violence made by an ex-girlfriend. McFadden would move back into the starting lineup should Elliott be forced to sit.

Colombia international Ospina has been Arsenal’s regular cup goalkeeper since Cech joined from Stamford Bridge at the start of last season, but missed the semi-final win over Manchester City due to a back injury. Cech started that game, but Wenger has opted against going with his major final pedigree despite being forced to field a make-shift defence.

Democratic Delaware Senator Chris Coons, chairman of the committee, opened Tuesday’s “Algorithms and Amplification” hearing by asking “what happens when algorithms become so good at showing you content” that users spend hours tuned into frequently hateful or outright false messaging. Executives from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube consistently defended the use of algorithms and other social media platform technology as tools of “open public conversation.” But GOP Senator Ben Sasse joined committee members in questioning the Silicon Valley companies on whether they’re capitalizing off “misinformation” and users’ “narcissistic” impulses....
