“You should say, ‘If you mention that word [nuclear] one more time, we’re gonna send [nuclear submarines and planes] over and we’ll be coasting back and forth, up and down your coast,” Trump told Fox Business on Monday. “You can’t let this tragedy continue. You can’t let these, these thousands of people die.” The former president said he “listened to [Putin] constantly using the n-word,” referring to the world “nuclear,” during his dealings with the Russian president but that he hoped he never had to use nuclear weapons because “it would be the tragedy of all tragedies....

Unlike Simmons, it took Mitchell some time to find his footing in the NBA. He came off the bench for eight of the first 11 games of his career and surpassed the 30-minute mark only three times during that stretch. It wasn’t until the end of November that he began to find his stride, and he’s been on fire ever since. NBA DRAFT 2018: Who tops SN’s latest prospect rankings?...

With the consternation that has accompanied Sony’s recent announcement that it will be closing down the PlayStation Store for the PS3, PSP, and PS Vita, eliminating in one fell swoop players’ ability to purchase digital versions of older games, it may be reassuring to know that the physical versions of some older games will still be available on one console or another.

Gotze and team-mate Marco Reus were brought off at half-time in the second leg, which finished goalless and consigned Dortmund to a 2-1 aggregate defeat in the last-16 tie, after an underwhelming opening period. Following the loss, Stoger laid into Germany’s World Cup winner Gotze, saying: “We were not at all happy with Mario. “And if nothing we set out to do is transported onto the pitch, we must try and give other lads a chance....

Toprak was a regular in the Dortmund side of 2017-18 but fell out of favour last season, making just one Bundesliga start as Lucien Favre’s side narrowly missed out on the title. He becomes the second defender to join Florian Kohfeldt’s side in the close-season, after fellow centre-back Marco Friedl arrived in a €3.35million deal from Bayern Munich. Dortmund announced that Werder have “agreed a purchase option as part of the deal, which will take effect under realistic circumstances”....

Bundesliga leaders Dortmund are away to APOEL in Nicosia, having lost their opening two Group H fixtures. Dortmund are already six points adrift of two-time defending champions Real Madrid and Tottenham, while APOEL are in the same position. “We’ve lost two times and we’re here to win,” Bosz told reporters. “But APOEL need a victory too.” Beaten by RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga last week, Dortmund have been boosted by the inclusion of captain Marcel Schmelzer....

The 21-year-old Germany youth international, who was a transfer target for several top European clubs, signed a deal at Dortmund to 2022. “Mo Dahoud is a hugely talented and exciting player in the central midfield position whom we have been watching intensively for several years,” said Dortmund sports director Michael Zorc. “He has already proven he can play at top level.” Dahoud has scored six goals in 52 league appearances for Gladbach after rising through the Foals’ youth ranks....

Sancho joined Borussia Dortmund from Manchester City in August 2017 and has made a fantastic start to the new season with Lucien Favre’s side four points clear at the top of the table after 11 games. The 18-year-old has recorded a league-high six assists despite often being used as a substitute, while he starred in Saturday’s 3-2 Klassiker win over Bayern. And Salihamidzic has now revealed Bayern also tried to sign Sancho, 18, when he left City in search of more first-team opportunities....

The procedure, known specifically as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, involves the harvesting of an artery from another part of the body. The artery is then grafted into the heart to bypass the blockage and restore blood flow. It is called a “double bypass” because two coronary arteries need to be bypassed. If three vessels are bypassed, it is called a triple bypass, four bypasses are called a quadruple bypass, and so on....

A classics scholar who teaches at Princeton, a gay man who has both embraced the sexual free market that is New York in the ’90s and devoted himself, as a godfather, to the raising of a friend’s child, Mendelsohn brings an unpolemical intelligence and astonishing erudition to his task. He writes about his own hybrid life–suspended between straight and gay worlds, between promiscuity and paternity–in a book that is itself a hybrid: part personal memoir, part cultural essay, part classics lesson....

–Ronald Reagan Nearly 30 years after the end of Ronald Reagan’s presence in American foreign policy, President Donald Trump has once again showed this past week with his spontaneous “step” into North Korea to meet with Kim Jong-un, that the ideas of the great communist dragon-slayer are alive and well inside his administration. The president shocked the world, and undoubtedly shocked Kim himself, when following the G20 Summit, and while preparing to visit the DMZ with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, he took to Twitter to invite Kim to meet him at the border for a “handshake....

President Joe Biden underwent a physical examination on November 19 by his doctor Kevin O’Connor, who declared him fit for duty. However, CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta said that “as far as we know” Biden did not undergo a test of his mental abilities, referring to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, which is a screening test for memory loss and dementia. During an interview on Tuesday, Fox News anchor Sean Hannity referred to how the former president’s physician Ronny Jackson had said Trump had passed that test....

The former president has defended Rogan amid the controversy surrounding the content of his hugely popular podcast, which Spotify paid a reported $100 million for. Rogan has come under fire for sharing misinformation about COVID-19 and the vaccines on his show, which led to prominent musicians including Neil Young and Joni Mitchell withdrawing their music from the streaming platform. Rogan also apologized for repeatedly using the N-word on his podcast, but says clips of him using the racial slurs, which have been widely shared online, were “taken out of context....

Donovan eventually changed his mind, and on Friday night he was treated to a send-off worthy of a player who has meant so much to American soccer. Fans from across the country filled Rentschler Field to bid farewell to Donovan, and chanted his name and unfurled banners in his honor. By night’s end, Donovan was in the stands, singing with those same fans, and even capped his emotional night with a perfectly timed joke regarding his conversation with Klinsmann after leaving the field as a national team player for the 157th and final time....

Leading by three points with 4.4 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, the Bulls decided to send Mitchell to the free throw line by intentionally fouling him to prevent a 3-pointer. He sank the first free throw to make it a two-point game, then he deliberately missed the second in the hope of the Cavaliers getting an offensive rebound. The result? A putback by Mitchell himself to send the game into overtime....
