The league table is something of course we are aware of but we always understand how many games there are to go.” Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy felt his side held their own until Salah scored in the 82nd minute. “I think we were in the contest for a result for a long time,” he said. “Three-one was the turning point in the sense the game was done there to get a result. “I think the 60th minute I remember a chanced for Daka to score the equaliser so we were in the game to get a surprising result. “We did well, we did what we could: a good start with the goal but if you speak of a turning point, 3-1 with Salah, the game was done.” Van Nistelrooy left goalkeeper Danny Ward out of the squad after he struggled in the defeat to Wolves and was jeered by his own fans. “The change in goal was one to make and the conversation with Wardy was impressive, the way he was thinking of the team and the club,” added the Dutchman. “I insisted on a conversation and of course it is a private conversation but what I want to share is the person and the professional he is. “I was impressed with that and his willingness for the team and the club to do well. “Really tough what happened for him. We are professionals but human beings as well, when frustration is being directed towards one person that is difficult.”Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines reacts to a high school transgender runner's state title win. "Real Time" host Bill Maher clashed with liberal scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson over his refusal to say that men have a physical advantage over women in sports, insisting he's "part of the problem." The exchange began when Maher put a spotlight on the ousting of Scientific American's editor-in-chief over her viral attacks on Trump voters. However, Maher thought the magazine's real "scandal" was a piece it published last year claiming "Inequity between male and female athletes is a result not of inherent biological differences between the sexes but of biases in how they are treated in sports." BILL MAHER SAYS ‘MY HEAD’S NOT EXPLODING' OVER TRUMP PICKING RFK JR. FOR HHS: ‘WE DO NEED SHAKING UP’ Scientific American claimed that the "inequity" between men and women in sports is not because of "inherent biological differences between the sexes but of biases in how they are treated in sports." (Rich von Biberstein/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) "That's nuts, and it sure ain't scientific," Maher reacted. "And it's in Scientific American. And that's why the Democrats lost the election." The famed astrophysicist responded by letting out a big belly laugh. "It's true," Maher doubled down. "Bill, every 20 minutes on your platform, you come up with another reason why the Democrats lost," Tyson said. "That's not true. First of all, you don't watch this show, so you don't know," Maher fired back. "I know you don't and it's okay, but you talk as if you do and you f---in' don't. And that's okay, just don't bulls--- me. That's the one thing people can't ever do on this show is bulls--- me." MAHER BLASTS LEFT ‘DOUBLING DOWN’ ON WHAT ‘F---ED’ THEM IN ELECTION: ‘TAKE ONE WEEK TO ASK WHAT YOU DID WRONG’ "Real Time" host Bill Maher clashed with liberal scientist Neil Degrass Tyson over his refusal to say men have physical advantages over women in sports. (Screenshots/HBO) "Engage in the idea here," Maher then said. "What I'm asking is Scientific American is saying basically that the reason why a WNBA team can't beat the Lakers is because of societal biases." "What you're saying is not ‘Scientific American says that,’ an editor for Scientific American says that who no longer has the job," Tyson pushed back. "So don't indict a 170-year-old magazine because somebody-" "Ok, this is called Scientific American!" Maher exclaimed. "And they're printing something-" "Because someone who enters the cesspool that is social media and then participates in that exchange. Let's talk about science!" Tyson said.

Tyson countered. "Not because of this!" Maher shouted. "I said the scandal is not her tweet... you don't see a problem here?" "Long distance swimming, women might actually have the advantage, you look into that," Tyson responded. "Yeah, maybe long distance swimming... Well, I'm gonna file you under ‘part of the problem,’" Maher jokingly told him. Neil Degrass Tyson repeatedly shrugged off the piece published by Scientific American claiming men and women don't have "inherent biological differences" when it comes to competing in sports. (Screenshot/HBO) Later on during the panel discussion, Maher remained dumbfounded at Tyson's refusal to budge on the subject. "I can't get a scientist to say that Scientific American, the magazine, as so many institutions, have been ideologically captured by this very, very far-left wing to the point where they're denying stuff that is just obvious to the naked eye," Maher said. "He wouldn't actually address the substance!" journalist Andrew Sullivan reacted. "And people aren't stupid. They see them making these [statements], and they see Democrats refusing- and liberals refusing to disown them. Why? What is Neil afraid of? I know what he's afraid of. He's afraid of some massive social media mob coming out and calling him- he's a sexist bigot and all the rest of it. We have to get over that!" "It's insane," Maher agreed. "And people see that and they go 'Well then I can't trust you on anything else.' I mean, look at that ad that Kamala Harris - that Trump ran against her about the transgender in prison thing, like, 'We're gonna pay for prisoners to get a transgender operations' that affects like three people in the world. But she wouldn't say 'That was dumb. I just wouldn't do that anymore.' And people go, 'Well, then I just can't trust you on anything else.'"

"Actually, you’re the guy who doesn’t understand why the [WNBA] team can’t beat the Lakers, so I don’t know, you’re supposed to be the scientist and you couldn’t even admit that!" Maher shouted. "This is not your field, you’re not a doctor." "I'm a scientist! Excuse me," an offended Tyson reacted. "That’s not a doctor! When I have a goiter on Uranus, I’ll call you," Maher added. Joseph A.

Americans are trying to parse his rhetoric on the campaign trail with the realities of the government as they decide how to plan for their future. Here are the top five questions I've received about how to invest amid another Trump presidency: Will Congress make changes that affect retirement plans? While it wasn't a major topic in this election, Trump has said in the past he doesn't support changes to the 401(k) retirement account, which is shaped by a tax deduction. The Republican platform for 2024 doesn't propose any changes, either, so this won't likely be a priority for the GOP-controlled Congress. Experts, however, have speculated that tax-advantaged retirement accounts might become a target for countering the costs of extending tax cuts Trump signed in his first term. Congress could attempt to balance the budget by eliminating the 401(k) tax deduction or lowering the limit on the amount you can contribute and deduct for tax purposes. Republicans have also shown antagonism toward ESG funds, which consider how environmental, social and governance factors impact a company's profits. The Labor Department during Trump's first term issued a rule that had a chilling effect on workplace retirement plans that included ESG funds, a limitation that's proven costly for retirement account administrators. The rule was reversed under President Joe Biden, but Trump could reinstate it and have the support of a Republican-led Congress to enact legislation that limits ESG factors in investing beyond 401(k)s.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California quarterback Miller Moss is entering the transfer portal after losing the Trojans' starting job last month. Moss made his announcement on social media Monday. Moss started the Trojans ' bowl victory last season and their first nine games this season before coach Lincoln Riley replaced him with Jayden Maiava in early November. “Being a USC Trojan was a lifelong dream of mine,” Moss wrote. “Putting on the cardinal and gold and competing on behalf of my teammates and school is something I will forever take pride in. I poured everything I have into this — body, heart, mind and soul — and am humbled by and proud of what my teammates and I accomplished.” Moss, who was born in Los Angeles and went to high school in the San Fernando Valley, signed with USC before Riley arrived at the school. Moss also stayed with the Trojans after Caleb Williams transferred from Oklahoma to rejoin Riley, and he served as Williams’ backup for two seasons before getting his chance to play with six touchdown passes in last year's Holiday Bowl. Moss completed 64.4% of his passes this season for 2,555 yards with 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions. After a spectacular 378-yard performance to beat LSU in the Trojans' season opener, Moss didn't play poorly as a starter, but he also wasn't a difference-maker while USC stumbled to a 4-5 record. Moss threw seven interceptions in his final five starts before losing the job to Maiava. The Trojans went 1-4 in that stretch under Moss, who plays as a more traditional pocket passer while Maiava has the mobility usually favored for quarterbacks in Riley's spread offense. “Looking towards the future, I'm unwaveringly committed to becoming an even better quarterback and leader, and to achieving this at the next level,” Moss wrote. Moss has already graduated from USC, putting him in the portal as a graduate student. USC (6-6) is headed to a lower-tier bowl game again to finish this season, its third under Riley.
