Despite some concerns about the Olympics occurring during the current pandemic, the Beijing games will carry on as planned and China has assured the world that athletes’ safety is a top priority. Unlike in previous games, where fans filled arenas to get an in-person viewing experience, spectators will be significantly limited because of COVID-19, increasing the appeal of at-home viewing. Since there’s a significant time change between China and the United States, watching some events as they happen will require viewers to get up early or stay up late....

Aaron Rodgers led the Packers with four passing touchdowns on the way to a 35-14 win at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field. The Packers’ defense impressed, too, forcing the Bears into costly mistakes. Calls for Mitchell Trubisky at quarterback rose again as Mike Glennon struggled to get things going for the Bears (1-3). Glennon threw two interceptions, one in each half, and fumbled twice in the first half. The fumbles set the tone for the game; the first came on the Bears’ first play from scrimmage as Glennon was sacked by Clay Matthews, and the second came on the very next drive off a bad snap....

The gritty reimagination of the nineties Will Smith sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, is due to debut on Super Bowl Sunday on Peacock in the US, and on Sky/ Now in the UK. Since the original announcement, there’s been a mixed reaction to the new series. Having now seen the first few episodes (and as a fan of the original series), I can understand the concerns. Taking away the comedy of the show in turn takes away a lot of the soul, and it leaves me wondering who will enjoy it....

The Red Devils and the Three Lions have arrived in Kaliningrad with six points out of six and passage to the last 16 already secured. Results elsewhere and the way the knockout draw has fallen so far have led to widespread suggestions the runner up out of England and Belgium would be in a better position to blaze a trail into the latter stages. It could make for a surreal contest on Thursday, with both bosses expected to ring the changes and protect players from potential suspensions....

Most investors sleepwalked though last week’s calamitous drop in stocks, hearing the bad news through the same veil of shock they’ve carried since Sept. 11. Few individuals dumped and ran. The selling came almost entirely from professionals (read: the people who run your pension funds and mutual funds). By Friday’s close, we had seen Wall Street’s worst week in memory. The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 16 percent, for a total loss of 72 percent since its March 2000 peak....
