Brendon McCullum: England coach says ‘misconceptions’ around Bazball mindset are ‘disrespectful’

“Misconceptions” surrounding England’s team and their style of play are “disrespectful”, according to head coach Brendon McCullum.

McCullum took over England’s Test side in 2022 alongside captain Ben Stokes and revived a team that had won one match in 17.

They have since become known for a fearless and aggressive brand of cricket, particularly with the bat, but McCullum – who dislikes the term “Bazball” which was coined to describe the approach – has frustrations around how they are perceived as a team.

“We never have that kind of mindset about ourselves in the sense that, we’re not rigid in how we go about things,” McCullum told the For the Love of Cricket podcast.

“I think there’s a bit of a misconception about how we play, that we swing the bat as hard as we can, we try to take wickets and then we go for a round of golf and a few beers.

“I find it slightly disrespectful to all of you guys [the players] and all of the people in the set-up who work so hard and have such clear determination of wanting to succeed, to have that so simply categorised, almost.”

Before the start of the summer, McCullum called on his players to show more “humility” after making headlines with some of their comments which were perceived as not caring enough about winning.

Comments which caused a stir include Ben Duckett saying it did not matter that England lost 3-0 to India as long as they went on to win the Champions Trophy, while in September last year Harry Brook said “if you get caught somewhere on the boundary, then who cares?” when asked about his side’s one-day batting approach.

But McCullum added that his messaging has always been around players’ mindset, rather than instilling a particular way of playing or a focus on high scoring.

“For us, it’s about trying to create an environment that allows you to handle the pressures of international cricket, to understand the size of that task but to not be restricted in your ability to play,” McCullum added.

“You want your talent to come out, I hate seeing talent stymied, so having a certain style or belief in how we want to play gives us the best chance of success.

“You can’t do that if you are bound by this tension and negativity. I know they want to win, I know I want to win, I know the opposition wants to win.

“Just because I keep saying it doesn’t mean it’s just going to happen, so how do we go about that?”

Jeffries says GOP will ‘regret’ revisiting Jan. 6

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) warned Republicans on Monday that they’ll regret their decision to reexamine the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. 

Jeffries said Democrats will use their participation in a newly launched GOP investigation of the rampage to highlight President Trump’s role in fomenting the violence that day.

“Republicans will regret that they’ve decided to go down this road,” Jeffries told reporters in the Capitol.

Republicans last week voted to create a new Jan. 6 investigative committee, which will revisit the attack almost three years after the initial Jan. 6 select committee delivered its report blaming Trump for inciting the riot. The new panel also has powers to investigate the old one.

Republican leaders have defended Trump’s actions surrounding the attack, bashing the initial investigation as a one-sided witch hunt aimed solely at hurting Trump politically. They’re expected to use the new committee in an effort to exonerate their White House ally, who was impeached for a second time in the immediate wake of the 2021 tragedy.

“Our goal is to answer the remaining questions, uncover all the facts, and implement reforms so this level of security failure never happens again,” Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), who will chair the committee, said after the panel was created. 

“It’s time to finish the job.”  

Democrats say they’ll use the new investigation to shine a light, not only on Trump’s actions, but also on the violence directed against police officers by his supporters and the crimes committed by some of those MAGA loyalists since Trump pardoned them in January. 

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), as the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, is automatically considered an ex officio member of the new panel. And Jeffries named three other Democrats to the committee on Monday: Reps. Eric Swalwell (Calif.), Jasmine Crockett (Texas) and Jared Moskowitz (Fla.). 

“Donald Trump is trying to do with Jan. 6 what many fringe groups have done with Sept. 11, telling us it wasn’t planes that flew into the buildings but holograms, or missiles, or that it was an inside job,” Swallwell said Monday. “And here’s why we didn’t buy the 9/11 crazy talk then, or the Jan. 6 lies now: Because we saw them with our own eyes.”

Raskin, who was a member of the initial Jan. 6 committee, characterized a previous Loudermilk investigation as “an attempted Orwellian rewrite” of the events surrounding the attack. He challenged the Republicans to find any inaccuracies in the first select committee’s probe of the event. 

“The fact of the matter is they have not laid a glove on a single fact that was presented in the report of the bipartisan select committee on Jan. 6. All of their bizarre counter-theories about antifa and about the FBI have been completely and thoroughly debunked. They have gotten nowhere, and yet they insist once again on returning to the scene of the crime,” he said. 

“That gives us the chance to reeducate new generations of Americans about the dangers of political authoritarianism, and about the dangers of political and religious cults.”

While Jeffries has the power to name his Democratic picks for the new committee, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) retains the power to veto any of those lawmakers as he deems appropriate. That was the case in 2021, when former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) removed two of the initial Republican picks — Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and former Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) — for controversial statements and actions they made surrounding Jan. 6. 

It’s unclear if the Speaker is ready to accept the four Democratic appointees. Jeffries said he has informed Johnson of his selections, but suggested there has been no response. 

“We let him know our choices for this subcommittee, and there’s zero precedent for anyone from the other party determining who is going to sit on a subcommittee — if, in fact, they want to take that subcommittee seriously,” Jeffries said.  

Johnson’s office did not respond Monday to a request for comment.

Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker’s Son Rocky’s Long Hair Photos

Rocky Thirteen Barker‘s latest look deserves a drumroll. 

The 22-month-old son of Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker looked cuter than ever with his long hair on full display in new photos of him traveling with his dad for his band Blink-182‘s Missionary Impossible tour.

In a photo shared to Instagram Sept. 8, Rocky—wearing a Def Leopard band shirt and green velvet track pants—walked next to Travis, 49, as the duo made their way through a street crosswalk. And while his outfit was nothing short of cool, the tiny tot’s long, dark brown hair blowing in the wind definitely stole the show. 

And that’s not the only glimpse that Travis—who is also dad to son Landon Barker, 21, daughter Alabama Barker, 19, and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 26, with ex Shanna Moakler—provided of Rocky’s cascading ‘do.

In a second shot, the kiddo posed in front of a black cutout of Sasquatch that hung from the side of a building. Plus, in a third image, Travis held his son—whose hair poked out over his dad’s white shirt—as he and Kourtney walked down a gravel pathway at sunset.

NFL Week 1: Best player arrivals and tunnel fits

The pregame tunnel doubles as a runway for the NFL’s brightest stars to make an entrance long before the first snap.

Veterans and rookies alike have arrived in statement looks, some pairing tailored cuts with clean sneakers and crisp knits or even the occasional pop of team color. Accessories do the talking with icy chains, standout jewelry and sleek bags announcing their arrival before the helmets go on.

Some keep it strictly business in classic suits, others lean casual with relaxed looks and many land confidently in between with looks as loud as any pregame speech.

Whether they decided to keep it business, casual, or somewhere in between, here are the standout arrivals from Week 1.

Murdochs reach deal in succession battle

A years-long succession battle within Rupert Murdoch’s conservative media empire has drawn to a close, with his son Lachlan set to control the news group.

The deal, which the family announced on Monday, will ensure the ongoing conservative leaning of Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Post even after 94-year-old Rupert’s death.

Under the agreement Lachlan will control a new trust while siblings Prue MacLeod, Elizabeth Murdoch and James Murdoch will cease being beneficiaries of any trust with shares in Fox or News Corp.

It follows years of tension between the media mogul and three of his children over the future of the family-owned newspapers and television networks.

The Murdoch family’s internal turmoil served as inspiration for the hit television drama Succession. The deal announced on Monday to end the real-life saga ends all litigation over the family’s trust.

Lachlan’s more politically moderate oldest siblings are poised to sell their holdings in Fox and News Corp in the coming months. They will also be named as beneficiaries of a new trust, which will receive cash from the sale of about 14.2 million shares of News Corp. and 16.9 million shares of Fox Corp.

The sale of their shares will add to the three siblings’ existing inheritance, but prevent them from having any influence over the political bent of the family’s media conglomerate.

Lachlan is currently the chair of News Corp, which counts The Wall Street Journal and The Times among its slew of publications. He is widely seen as the most politically conservative of Rupert’s oldest children.

“The leadership, vision and management by the company’s chair, Lachlan Murdoch, will continue to be important to guiding the company’s strategy and success,” News Corp said in a statement announcing the deal.

House Intel Democrats launch probe into Trump revocation of security clearances

Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee on Monday launched a probe into the Trump administration’s decision to revoke 37 officials’ security clearances, and questioned the rationale behind listing them publicly.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard last month stripped clearances from a number of current and former intelligence officials who have ties to the Biden administration or have spoken out against Trump policies.

Gabbard, without evidence, accused those listed of politicizing or leaking intelligence or “committing intentional egregious violations of tradecraft standards.”

Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), the top Democrat on the panel, asked for “the specific evidence” behind each of the revocations.

“If there is evidence of misconduct to warrant revoking the clearances of these 37 individuals, some of whom were senior IC officers at the time of your memo, it would indicate a systemic issue in the granting of security clearances. It is hard to imagine an issue more deserving of congressional oversight and corrective action,” Himes wrote in a letter to Gabbard signed by all Democratic members on the panel.

“If, however, these revocations occurred outside of established process and don’t reflect fundamental risk, an immense amount of IC knowledge and capability has been lost.”

The letter noted that at least one of those listed had been serving undercover at the time of the announcement, and questioned why Gabbard’s office would make a public announcement concerning the matter.

Others on the list included those who Himes said have key skillsets or are working on top priorities for the intelligence community.

“At least two of the individuals listed in the memo are currently employed as congressional staff, raising serious separation of powers concerns,” he wrote. 

That includes a former National Security Council staffer targeted by Laura Loomer who worked for then-House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) during the first Trump impeachment and who has since returned to his office.

The letter asks Gabbard to detail whether protocol was followed, including whether those who lost their clearances were given advance warning, if they had a chance to appeal the decision and if their agencies were consulted.

A source familiar with the Office of Director of National Intelligence said agencies were consulted and disputed that one of the officials whose clearance was revoked was actively undercover.

“Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right. Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold,” Gabbard said in August.

“In doing so, they undermine our national security, the safety and security of the American people and the foundational principles of our democratic republic.”

Nintendo Switch modder ordered to pay $2 million in piracy lawsuit

By

Nintendo has notched another victory in its crusade against piracy. Last week, a Washington District Court judge ordered Ryan Daley to pay Nintendo $2 million and stop selling modded Switch consoles online, as reported earlier by Engadget.

In a copyright lawsuit filed last year, Nintendo accused Daley of operating the website Modded Hardware, which sold modded Switch consoles, modchips used to hack into Switch devices, and Mig flash cartridges that allow people to play pirated copies of games.

Nintendo claimed Daley caused the company “significant and irreparable harm” — and the judge agreed. “The MIG Devices, Mod Chips, Hacked Consoles, and Circumvention Services allow members of the public to create, distribute, and play pirated Nintendo games on a massive scale,” the ruling states. Daley denied any wrongdoing.

Piracy lawsuits from Nintendo have become increasingly common, with the company winning its case against a file-sharing site accused of hosting pirated games earlier this year. Nintendo’s legal actions have led to the shutdown of Switch emulators, including Yuzu and Ryujinx. The company has also made it clear that it may brick Switch 2 consoles if players try to mod the device.

Daley, who chose to fight Nintendo without a lawyer, is now banned from modding Switch consoles, as well as from using devices designed to circumvent the console’s security measures. The judge also ordered the seizure, impoundment, or destruction of all devices owned by Daley that may contain copyright-infringing material.
