EVE Online is the kind of online roleplaying game that everyone seems to know about, but haven’t actually played it. It’s been jokingly referred to as a ‘spreadsheet simulator’ for a reason, after all, which isn’t all that farfetched as many players use spreadsheets to keep track of the intense volumes of data the game throws at them.

It’s the compensation, though, that has caught most everyone by surprise. MORE: Worst QB situations in the NFL The Vikings sent next year’s first-round pick and their 2018 fourth-round pick to the Eagles in exchange for Bradford. It’s a deal that even “Madden NFL 17” finds unrealistic. In the game’s Franchise Mode, the Vikings were set up to start with Bridgewater completely off the roster. The Eagles made the offer of Bradford for the picks, and the Vikings had no interest in the deal....

How bad has it been? The Rangers currently have 13 players on the disabled list, led by Prince Fielder, and have had 51 players appear in a game already, which is tied for the fifth-highest total in team history. The 2008 Rangers used 55 players, and with September call-ups still to come, that record seems destined to be broken. Another way the Rangers figure to add to their total number of players used is replacing those who get traded between now and the end of the month....

The Liverpool-based club has been in the thick of the relegation battle all season long, and for a while it appeared dire, dipping into the relegation zone for some time earlier in the winter and spring. However, a win over Crystal Palace on the final day of the season saw the Toffees mathematically secure Premier League safety. Everton came into the final two matches of the season knowing one win would be enough, and despite going down 2-0 in the first half, the Toffees put together a comeback that will be remembered for years in club lore....

Koeman won 78 caps in a 12-year international career with the Dutch, representing them at the 1990 and 1994 World Cups – as captain at the latter tournament. His name has been mentioned in connection with the head coach role in the past and he is once again reportedly in the frame after Dick Advocaat failed to guide the Oranje to Russia 2018. Advocaat is expected to stand down after that disappointment for Netherlands, but Koeman has ruled himself out of the running to replace him, insisting he intends to remain at Goodison Park....

The Republic of Ireland right-back underwent surgery on Saturday in Dublin after suffering a fractured right tibia and fibula in a horror challenge from Neil Taylor, the Wales left-back who was sent off as a result in the 0-0 World Cup qualifying draw at the Aviva Stadium. “I haven’t been able to speak to Seamus as yet and I hope to do so this afternoon, but he will be aware that the thoughts of his team-mates, the coaching staff, everyone at the club and all Evertonians are with him at this time,” Koeman said in a statement on Everton’s official website....

The club’s current crest will cease to exist after the current season. This will be the first time since 1978 that the Liverpool-based club would have changed their crest.

The club then decided on a poll, giving Everton fans three options to choose from....

The Danes came entered the fixture knowing they needed a win and help elsewhere to qualify after losing their matches against Finland and Belgium.

Mikkel Damsgaard, who entered the line-up in place of Christian Eriksen against Belgium, unleashed a delightful strike from long range that found the top right corner. At half-time, Russia knew they had to switch gears as they needed a result as well....

His first major success last term then can be said to have been dampening down expectations to such an extent that supporters felt finishing the season in sixth place and with the Europa League title represented success. Mourinho has reset United’s style of play and made them robust; a team of bruisers. The physically-imposing trio of Victor Lindelof, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic have been added to a squad which already contained giants such as Eric Bailly and Marouane Fellaini....

Quietly and without fanfare, the Turks are demonstrating that on the international stage, at least, they are a full member of the Western world’s post-September 11 alliance against terror. The West tends to take that friendship for granted. It shouldn’t. Turkey is heading for a major crisis in its relations with the European Union, and that could in turn trigger a major rethink of just who its real friends are–and where its best strategic interests lie....

President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris were declared the winners of the presidential election on November 7, after the Associated Press, Fox News and other television networks called Pennsylvania and Nevada in the Democratic ticket’s favor. President Donald Trump has refused to concede, pushing unfounded claims of widespread election fraud—for which his campaign has not provided evidence. Pearsons, a senior pastor at the Eagle Mountain International Church in Texas, repeated many of these claims during his Sunday sermon, while suggesting God was on Trump’s side....

In political circles, the story felt a little like a rote script in a bad sitcom. But in the evangelical world, Vitter’s fall from grace is a different matter. NEWSWEEK’s Susannah Meadows spoke with Michael Cromartie, vice president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C., and a practicing evangelical himself, about how the news was received in the Christian community, and the toll such incidents take on the movement....
