Video shows a popping in Jordan Love’s left knee

 

Video shows a popping in Jordan Love’s left knee


As social-media physicians commence the process of diagnosing Packers quarterback Jordan Love via video, there will be different opinions about what the injury might be. No one will know the truth until there’s a full and proper diagnosis.

( )

One thing is true. The video shows a popping in Love’s left knee, as he was being brought to the ground.

Watch it. The sudden movement is obvious, similar to the visible snapping of the Achilles tendon of former Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins last year.

Again, no one knows for now what happened inside the knee. What we do know, based on the video of the play, that something popped inside the knee.

Linkin Park reunite 7 years after Chester Bennington’s death, with new music

 

Linkin Park reunite 7 years after Chester Bennington’s death, with new music


Linkin Park is back with a new lineup and debuting their first new music since the 2017 death of lead singer Chester Bennington.
( )
On Thursday, the band kicked off a livestream showcasing new singer Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain, who will join returning members Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Phoenix and Joe Hahn in Linkin Park’s new lineup. Shinoda and Armstrong share vocal duties.

The new lineup launched into a new single, “The Emptiness Machine,” at the top of the stream. Armstrong’s performance style comfortably continues the band’s legacy: Her full-throated vocals recall Bennington without attempting parody, immediately evidenced on the second song of the set: “Somewhere I Belong.”

“This is a very special day for us,” Shinoda said as he led introductions, mentioning that guitarist Alex Feder was filling in for Delson for the night. “In the role of Chester Bennington this afternoon is each of you,” Shinoda addressed the crowd.

The new Linkin Park also announced a new album, “From Zero.” It releases November 15.

The rock-rap band is one of the most commercially successful acts of the 2000s, aided by Bennington’s vocals. At 41, he died by suicide shortly after the release of the group’s last album, “One More Light.” In the years since, Linkin Park has dropped a number of re-releases, including 20th anniversary editions of “Hybrid Theory,” “Meteora” and, this year, the career-spanning greatest hits collection, “Papercuts.”

Before Linkin Park, our first band name was Xero. This album title refers to both this humble beginning and the journey we’re currently undertaking,” Shinoda said in a statement announcing the upcoming release.

Armstrong comes from alt-rock band Dead Sara and Brittain is a songwriter and producer who has worked with Papa Roach, One OK Rock and All Time Low, among others. He replaces original drummer Rob Bourdon, who “has decided to step away,” a band representative told The Associated Press.

( )

The more we worked with Emily and Colin, the more we enjoyed their world-class talents, their company, and the things we created,” Shinoda said. “We feel really empowered with this new lineup and the vibrant and energized new music we’ve made together. We’re weaving together the sonic touchpoints we’ve been known for and still exploring new ones.”

The band also announced the “From Zero World Tour,” featuring five arena shows in Los Angeles, New York, Hamburg, London and Seoul this month, and a sixth in November in Bogotá, Colombia.

Pope Francis departs Indonesia for Papua New Guinea, stop two of 12-day trip


Pope Francis left Indonesia on Friday morning for Papua New Guinea, where the 87-year-old leader of the global Catholic Church will continue an ambitious 12-day tour across Southeast Asia and Oceania.
The Garuda Indonesia plane carrying the pope and his entourage left Jakarta's airport for the flight to Port Moresby, the Papua New Guinean capital, where he will stay for the next three nights.
While in PNG Francis will make a day trip to the northwestern town of Vanimo, before departing the country on Monday. He is then scheduled to visit East Timor and Singapore before returning to Rome on Sept. 13.
( )
In Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation, Francis urged political leaders to guard against religious extremism.
The pope also visited Istiqlal Mosque, Southeast Asia's largest, and signed a joint declaration with the national grand imam. The statement called for "decisive action" by Catholics and Muslims to urge global leaders to confront the dangers of climate change.
The warming planet is expected to remain a focus for the pope's visit in Papua New Guinea, where political leaders have blamed climate change for a spate of natural disasters, including a landslide in March that killed at least 2,000 people.
( )
The pope has stressed the importance of environmental issues throughout his 11-year papacy.
Francis will take part in a brief ceremony on arrival in Port Moresby late Friday afternoon, and then head to the Vatican embassy for the evening. His first public event in the country will be an address to political leaders on Saturday morning.
With Friday's flight, the pope will have travelled about 16,000 km (about 10,000 miles) on the overseas trip, his longest yet. By the time he returns to Rome, he will have clocked nearly 33,000 km (20,500 miles).
