The three-judge panel said that another case before the appeals court that was brought by a different Texas death row inmate raises similar issues.“We agree with the district court that a stay is appropriate at least until a decision in that case,” the three-judge panel wrote.The Texas Attorney General’s ...

The University of Washington asked a court on Monday to dismiss the lawsuit brought against the Pac-12 by Oregon State and Washington State, which seeks to prevent the conference’s departing members from standing in the way of their efforts to rebuild the beleaguered league.A mediation process is ongoing between Oregon State and Washington State and the 10 departing Pac-12 members, according to the court filings, but two schools believe that shouldn’t stop the court case from proceeding.At issue is who gets to decide what happens to the Pac-12 between now and when those schools officially leave for their new conference on Aug. 1, 2024.“The departing schools continue to undermine our efforts to secure the future of the Pac-12 Conference. They are relying on flimsy arguments to try to escape accountability for their actions,” Oregon State and Washington State said in a statement.Washington’s motion to intervene in the case, which was granted and includes a requ...

Not only does he go for it on fourth down more than any other NFL coach, he seems to have an endless supply of fake kicks and trick plays.On Sunday, when the Lions broke open the game with two second-quarter touchdowns in 29 seconds, the latter came when the Lions turned a reverse into a flea-flicker. With the Panthers defense out of position, Jared Goff hit Sam LaPorta for a 31-yard touchdown and a 21-7 lead.“I think our guys enjoy those plays, and it is a little bit of eye candy, but it also sets up all the other things we do,” Campb...
