Short memory is the most underrated trait in sports, and Cairo Santos just proved it.

Less than half an hour after his 53-yarder clanked off the right upright, Ben Johnson sent him back out from 58 with the game hanging there.

He buried it. Career long, 3rd longest field goal in Soldier Field history, and a 9-point Bears lead with 1:34 left.

That's a coach trusting his guy when it would've been easy not to.

Coaches preach rest and recovery to their players. They almost never take it themselves.

Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany, 40, collapsed Friday while watching the club's second team train and was rushed to hospital by ambulance.

He'd reportedly been battling a viral infection affecting his legs for a week and kept working through it.

Bayern says he's undergoing thorough tests. Sky Germany reports he's stable. Wishing him a full recovery.

Lying to Congress is supposed to be a crime for everyone. FBI officials included.

Two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Cole Floris and Bradley Benavides, surrendered Friday and were charged with making false statements to Congress about the Hunter Biden investigations.

In 2023 both told the House Judiciary Committee their Foreign Influence Task Force had no role. Benavides said he only learned the FBI had the laptop from a Wikipedia article.

Prosecutors say documents, messages and witness accounts tell a very different story. They're presumed innocent until proven otherwise, but if this holds up, it's the kind of accountability that's been overdue for years.

Hold out long enough and you get your way. That's the uncomfortable lesson of the Connor Hellebuyck saga.

The Jets have traded the former MVP to the Devils, about five weeks after suspending him for not reporting to training camp.

Winnipeg gets Dawson Mercer, Nico Daws, Alexander Command, Nick Bjugstad and two picks, per Elliotte Friedman and Pierre LeBrun.

New Jersey gets an elite goalie. Winnipeg gets a reset, and a locker room that can finally move on.

Quietly, Melania Trump just got Russia and Ukraine to agree on something.

The White House says the First Lady brokered a localized ceasefire in Russian occupied Oleshky, starting Oct. 29.

Aid gets in. Civilians get a safe way out.

About 1,700 to 2,000 people are still there, mostly elderly, plus roughly 50 kids.

Russia and Ukraine haven't commented publicly yet, but if this holds, that's real lives saved.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 20-point streak is over at 141 games, and he didn't chase it.

He was 0 for 7 with 2 points at halftime, then buried this three to put OKC up 93-76 with 1:43 left. He went to the bench with 17.

Three points short, game in hand, no forced shots to save a number. That's a star who knows what the streak was for.

His last regular-season game under 20 was October 30, 2024.

The Bears won, but Cole Kmet's cart ride is the part Chicago will be thinking about tonight.

He stayed down holding his right knee after a fourth quarter catch. Teammates circled him, and he gave the crowd a thumbs up as he left.

Ruled out. One of their most durable players, too.

[TechPulse Daily @DailyTechpulse]

Down 29 with their own crowd booing, the Sixers found out who they are.

From the low point they outscored Cleveland by 37. Maxey sparked a 15-0 fourth quarter run and Embiid's 7 straight gave Philly its first lead.

Sixers 114, Cavs 106. Biggest comeback of LeBron's career.

[TechPulse Daily @DailyTechpulse]

There's been no public memorial for Mike Ditka. So Chicago turned Soldier Field into one.

Every fan got a fake mustache. The stadium clocks read 89:00 all afternoon.

The opponent? The Patriots, the team his '85 Bears beat 46-10 in Super Bowl XX.

Iron Mike would've loved it.

Bryan Cranston told the AP that RJ Mitte's death "threw me for a loop." They'd been trying to meet up in recent weeks. His message: "If you feel depression, it's a real thing. You're not alone."

RJ Mitte brought so much heart to Walt Jr. on Breaking Bad, and he spent his life speaking up for people with disabilities. He was 34.

Thinking of his family and friends today.

If you can, check in on someone you love, and remember it's OK to not be OK.

Stars don't matter much when you hand the ball away 15 times in one half.

LeBron and Jaylen Brown's first home game as Sixers has turned into a Cavs clinic. Cleveland leads 69-45 at the break.

Donovan Mitchell closed the first quarter with this buzzer beater from deep and already had 15 early in the second.

Thousands of Americans died taking Iwo Jima. Somebody took a sledgehammer to their statue.

Prince William County police say they caught a 27 year old Stafford man in the act Wednesday night at the Iwo Jima statue outside Marine Corps Base Quantico.

One Marine's head was knocked clean off. Damage is estimated in the hundreds of thousands. He's charged with 3 felonies and held without bond.

Throw the book at him.

Tom Skerritt never needed top billing. He just made everything he was in better.

The Top Gun and Alien star died Wednesday of natural causes at 93, his family said.

Air Force vet. Captain Dallas in Alien. Viper in Top Gun. An Emmy for Picket Fences.

Rest easy, Viper.

The ugliest part of this $2 billion fraud case isn't the money. It's who prosecutors say got used to steal it.

Feds say one Southern California operation billed more than $1.6 billion for sham addiction treatment, luring vulnerable people to California and, per the complaint, supplying illegal drugs to keep them hooked and cycling back through.

15 charged, 6 of them medical professionals. 8 arrested this morning.

Also alleged: $134M in needless artery procedures that hurt patients, and $138M billed for hospice care on people who weren't dying.

DOJ calls the rehab scheme the largest of its kind it has ever prosecuted. People who came looking for a way out allegedly got turned into billing codes.

Tyrese Haliburton was tired, scoreless in the second quarter and 4 of 11 through three. Then he went perfect in the fourth. Wrote up why that matters more than the 23 and 12. https://t.co/o3KulQjh4r

@bochts @PFF having Sewell next to you is a cheat code for any young guard lol

@xTONEx420 @IGN 2 days vs 8 hours. sony's security team must be running on fumes lol

[TechPulse Daily @DailyTechpulse]

A $250K fine you never pay is a warning, not a punishment.

The NFL fined Vrabel, Glenn and Sirianni $250K each for how they treat refs. It's on hold and goes away with good behavior.

Fair call. The league already suspended two officials this year too.

[TechPulse Daily @DailyTechpulse]

A top Virginia Democrat was just indicted.

Sen. Louise Lucas, 82, surrendered today. Feds say she ran a 100+ kilo marijuana ring and used her Senate seat to protect it.

On a wiretap she allegedly said "I've gotten too old to not be greedy."

[TechPulse Daily @DailyTechpulse]

Some guys get traded. Dame just took a long road trip.

542 days after tearing his Achilles, Damian Lillard came home and hit 6 threes for 25 points in a 124-83 rout of the Suns.

His first game as a Blazer in 1,309 days. Ja Morant added 8 assists in his debut next to him.
