Landlubber jeans–the same brand that introduced those low-slung, hip-hugging, tepee-legged britches 26 years ago–began appearing in an updated version in department stores around June 15. Like many new trends, the bell-bottom revival didn’t start here–it started in England, about a year ago. Called flares, the British-created pants made their way to America on the boas of celebrities like Lisa Bonet and Madonna. Landlubbers, which haven’t been made in the United States since 1979, caught the wave and reintroduced them here....

League top scorer Bafetimbi Gomis’ second-half penalty was all that was needed to help the visitors emerge victorious, with Fenerbache and İstanbul Başakşehir breathing down their neck.

Both summer signings were instrumental in the Cimbom’s success this campaign which also saw them return to the Uefa Champions League after a fourth place last season could only guarantee a Europa League spot....

“If Putin was a woman—which he obviously isn’t—if he were, I really don’t think he would have embarked on a crazy, macho war of invasion and violence in the way that he has,” Johnson told German broadcaster ZDF following the G7 summit in Schloss Elmau. “If you want a perfect example of toxic masculinity, it’s what he is doing in Ukraine.” He added: “You need more women in positions of power....

England international Kane has been in imperious form again this season, leading the race for the Premier League Golden Boot with 23 goals. His consistency over the past four seasons has made him one of world football’s hottest properties, and Ferdinand - who played for Spurs between 1997 and 2003 - is concerned his former club might not be able to resist a huge offer for the 24-year-old. Speaking ahead of the London Football Awards (LFA), Ferdinand told Omnisport: “When you have a talent like that, teams will come calling, and will Tottenham be able to resist those teams?...

Chelsea and Conte will struggle in the Champions League The ex-Tottenham, Newcastle and QPR striker spoke out against English football’s governing body following the motion of no confidence from Members of Parliament on Thursday.

And to honor Seinfeld’s greatest contribution to the holiday season, we’ve concocted a bit of a Festivus list. Speaking from a fan’s perspective, for all 30 franchises (listed by division, in order of 2014 final standings), we’re going to air a grievance or talk about how the team has disappointed its fan base. We promise to keep this a tinsel-free space. Wouldn’t want you to be distracted, because we know you’ve got a lot of problems with these people....

C.W. Gore + Humiliates Bradley everywhere and unites Dems. But give it a rest. Please! Bush + Beats McCain almost everywhere, but doesn’t unite GOPs. But give it a rest. Please! McCain = After totaling his bus, he’s Bora-Bora bound for R&R. Do McCainiacs have a second act? Bradley - Warm, funny, nice to press when exiting. Where was this guy during the campaign?

Fetterman, a Democrat running against Republican Oz for a U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania, only took part in one of those rehearsals, Nexstar Media Group Chief Communications Officer Gary Weitman said in a statement Wednesday. Fetterman has been recovering from a stroke he suffered in May and used closed captioning during the debate to follow the conversation. After the debate, which spurred criticism for his performance as well as praise that he participated in the first place amid his recovery, the communications director for Fetterman’s campaign said in a statement that Fetterman “did remarkably well tonight—especially when you consider that he’s still recovering from a stroke and was working off of delayed captions filled with errors....

The smell of the gum was unmistakable, even though these pink slices of formerly chewy goodness were 27 years old, brittle and partially fused to the backs of these cardboard relics. The rush of seeing “Future Stars” plastered across the front of special rookie cards was still very real, even though I now know Tim Pyznarski never really became a star for the Padres, and Pat Dodson never lived up to the promise I believed in because the back of his card told me he hit ....

Finland finished ninth in last summer’s European championship, failing to qualify automatically for the World Cup. But basketball’s governing body made the 39th-ranked Finnish the lowest-ranked team ever to receive a wild card to its world championship, taking note not only of the team’s improving performance but also the “Wolfpack’s” fan and financial backing. Before the wild cards were awarded in February, Finnish company Rovio, maker of the popular Angry Birds games, had agreed to provide advertising for FIBA if Finland was selected, leaving many questioning whether the FIBA selection committee acted improperly....

It may seem like a bizarre question, but it is one that has been posed by none other than former England manager Sam Allardyce, who believes that popular video games such as the EA Sports and SI Games series can provide individuals with a knowledge base from which to progress in to professional football. In a discussion about virtual reality and football Allardyce spoke of the fact that young people nowadays are engaging with concepts that are crucial in football management, for example the buying and selling of players....

As everyone knows, the tone can change during the course of a match, and that is where the EA Sports emotional intelligence feature comes into play. It will connect all 22 players on the pitch, meaning every player will have some sort of feeling or attitude toward any other given player, and depending how the match plays out, those feelings can change over time. Players will show anger, delight, excitement, disgust and much more, depending on how their teammates are playing....
