The deposition was originally scheduled for June, but early last week a judge ordered it to begin “immediately,” saying that rumors Law might be transferred to Rome made him a flight risk. Lawyers who attended the closed sessions say Law, 71, appeared sad and tired. And extremely forgetful. He did not recall ever discussing Geoghan, though his handwriting appears on many documents related to his troubles. He did not recall ever reading Geoghan’s personnel files, which bulged with 10,000 pages of complaints and psychiatric reports....
“No, unless I’m invited,’’ Charley Trippi joked, adding, “You tell them I’m available, all right?” Trippi just recently turned 93; NFL Films founder Ed Sabol, 98, is the Hall’s oldest non-player member. Trippi rarely travels far from his Athens, Ga., home these days. But he stays close to the Cardinals, the franchise that picked him first overall in the 1945 NFL draft (he’s also the oldest former No. 1 pick) when it was based in Chicago....
Arizona and Murray agreed to a massive five-year, $230.5 million extension this week, but the addendum — which mandated Murray perform at least four hours of independent study of Arizona’s opponent in a non-bye week — caused controversy for the team and the quarterback. So much so, that the team decided to quietly remove the language Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported. The Cardinals said in a statement Thursday the addendum created a “distraction” and was not intended to suggest that Murray does not adequately prepare for the team’s opponents....

There’s no shortage of opinion about what to do. Some argue for beefing up border security with enhanced surveillance technology. Yet that will do little to address the estimated 40 percent of undocumented immigrants who enter the country legally and overstay their visas, says Audrey Singer, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. Others clamor for the government to deport illegal immigrants—a prescription most experts consider unrealistic. For many, the sensible solution is a comprehensive immigration-reform package that includes enhanced border security, a temporary-worker program and a path to legalization for the undocumented....

The ‘party’ is focused on winning. I think the Republicans are behaving the way they do because they think it’s going to help them win,” she said, adding that it seems like the backbone of the GOP is expressing loyalty to Trump....

Pardon me for a moment....
