PDM launches ‘intense propaganda’ against me: Imran Khan
Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan said Tuesday he’d had enough of the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) “cabal of crooks” propagating to malign him.

In response, Khan tweeted that he was following the “intense propaganda” launched by the PDM’s “cabal of crooks” against him, which stems from them being “petrified of PTI’s soaring popularity”.

What went right, what went wrong for FSU on offense vs. LSU
Every week, every practice, every series, every rep I have seen Jordan Travis improve. What went rightI have to start with the player from last nights game, Jordan Travis. What went wrongDrops, drops, drops, drops, drops, I cannot believe how many receivers I saw dropping the ball play after play for Jordan Travis. They could just not get the run game going, they struggled to create interior rushing lanes and those backs could not get going. While the offensive line was able to produce good enough protection in the passing game, they just could not move those LSU defenders in the run game.

Chicharito Panenka PK saved by Pulskamp, Galaxy ties KC 2-2
After all of the many tributes to Serena Williams were done, the celebratory words and the video montages, the standing ovations and the shouts of her name, it seemed appropriate that she herself would provide the defining look at her legacy. So the last question at the news conference after her last match of the U.S. Open — and, it seems clear, of her career — offered Williams the chance to say how she’d most like to be remembered. Williams captured her significance well — and did so without making any mention of her Grand Slam titles.
