Americans should not eat any romaine lettuce amid concerns over a new E. coli outbreak, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned Tuesday. Consumers should throw away any romaine lettuce, and retailers and restaurants should not sell or serve it, the CDC said. At least 32 people in 11 states have gotten sick from the same strain of E. coli in the outbreak. The illnesses started in October and have hospitalized at least 13 people, including one with a kind of kidney failure, the CDC said. No deaths have been reported, and no recalls have been issued. The food safety alert comes just two days before Thanksgiving. U.S. consumers should avoid all types of romaine lettuce and also salad mixes if they are unsure whether it includes romaine, according to the CDC. The agency also told Americans to clean refrigerators where romaine had been stored. "Consumers who have any type of romaine lettuce in their home should not eat it and should throw it away, even if some...

The rapper known as Tekashi 6ix9ine was in federal custody Monday awaiting a Manhattan court appearance on racketeering charges alleging that he participated in the July shooting of a bystander in Brooklyn and the gunpoint robbery of his gang's rivals last spring. The Brooklyn-based rapper, whose legal name is Daniel Hernandez, was among four people arrested on racketeering and firearms charges, authorities said. An attorney who has previously represented Hernandez did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Monday. The authorities also arrested three of Hernandez's former associates, Kifano "Shotti" Jordan, Jensel "Ish" Butler and Faheem "Crippy" Walter. It was unclear whether they had defense attorneys. 6ix9ine has been one of the most ascendant and controversial names in hip-hop in recent months. His album Day69: Graduation Day was among the top records on iTunes following its February release. He is also known for the ...

Redskins quarterback Alex Smith suffered a gruesome ankle injury midway through the third quarter of Sunday's game. The injury occurred during a sack by Texans defensive end J.J. Watt and cornerback Kareem Jackson took him to the turf (if you're squeamish, don't click the link, but you can see the play that ended Smith's day here). After the game, coach Jay Gruden told reporters that Smith broke his tibia and fibula and will undergo surgery immediately. Smith left the field on a stretcher and with an air cast on his leg. He was 12 of 27 for 135 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions, with the Redskins trailing 17-7. His replacement, veteran Colt McCoy, led a two-play touchdown drive following a Texans interception to cut the lead to 17-14. Washington led 21-20 early in the fourth quarter before eventually falling, 23-21. The Skins slip to 6-4 on the season, now one game clear of the Cowboys, who beat the Falcons. McCoy was originally a 2010 pick of the...

The Dallas Cowboys look for their first two-game winning streak of the season when they meet the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Dallas forged a tie for second place in the NFC East with a 27-20 upset of the Eagles as a touchdown underdog last week. Meanwhile, the Falcons saw their three-game winning streak snapped in a 28-16 road loss to the Browns. Both teams need a strong finish down the stretch in order to qualify for a postseason spot. The Falcons are 3.5-point favorites in the current Cowboys vs. Falcons odds, up from an opener of three. The over-under for total points scored has climbed to 49 from an opening mark of 47. On the money line, the Falcons are -190 (risk $190 to win $100), while the Cowboys are +171 (risk $100 to win $171). Before you lock in your Cowboys vs. Falcons picks, listen to what SportsLine expert Mike Tierney has to say.

No. 10 Ohio State is still alive in the Big Ten title race, and for a College Football Playoff berth. Barely. The Buckeyes overcame a lot of the same troubles we've seen them have at times all season to beat Maryland 52-51 in overtime Saturday. The Buckeyes overcame three turnovers and numerous big plays allowed on defense to score a game-tying touchdown in the final minute. Once overtime began, the Buckeyes struck first after going for it on a fourth-and-1 call rather than settling for the field goal. Dwayne Haskins scored from two yards out -- his sixth touchdown of the day -- to give the Buckeyes the lead. Maryland immediately responded with a big run from Anthony McFarland, one of a few on the day for him. McFarland picked up 24 yards on Maryland's first snap to set up a game-tying touchdown. The Terps then went for two, but Tyler Pigrome's throw was off the mark and Ohio State held on to win. The win puts Ohio State at 10-1 on the season with a major showdown...

Alabama running back Damien Harris suffered what coach Nick Saban described as a "mild" concussion during a 50-17 win against The Citadel at home on Saturday. Harris, a senior and the team's leading rusher, sustained a big hit during the third quarter. Trainers tended to him for several minutes, checking for a neck injury, but found none, according to Saban. Harris did not return to the game. Harris led Alabama with 83 rushing yards on seven carries Saturday, including a 73-yard run. He has 678 rushing yards this season, with seven touchdowns. Offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood twisted his ankle, according to Saban. Safety Deionte Thompson bruised his knee, but Saban said it did not appear to be a significant injury. Alabama struggled early against The Citadel, going into halftime tied 10-10 before rebounding in the second half to win by 33. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who has been dealing with leg injuries for much of the season, passed for 340 yards and th...

A list of spots that'll have the Zebra Yeezys in stock today. The "Zebra" Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 has made it's return to major retailers such as Foot Locker, Footaction, Champs and Eastbay. The white and black striped kicks, retailing for $220, will be available today, November 16, starting at 10am ET. The Zebra Yeezys first released last June and are currently selling for upwards of $500 at consignment shops like Flight Club. It's unknown how many pairs will be available but there's hope that the kicks won't be so limited considering the "Triple White" Yeezy Boost 350 V2 recently restocked in massive quantities. A few years ago when flipping general release shoes bought at retail was a possibility, I wrote a series called, Should You Buy To Flip? The series took a number of checks that I used to make when I was operating my Amazon online shop. I would check Flight Club, eBay, StockX and then I would utilize mentions on Twitter as a ga...
