Neville fuming with break away plans (Picture: Getty)Gary Neville has launched an astonishing attack on the Premier League clubs threatening to break away and form the European Super League – accusing Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal of committing a ‘criminal act’ in abandoning their fans and their traditions. The Premier League’s ‘big six’ – Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham – are understood to be among the 12 clubs to have signed up for the new format which could be announced tonight.

Read MoreSummary List PlacementNASA is about to fly its Mars helicopter for the first time — a feat that could revolutionize spaceflight. The helicopter, called Ingenuity, traveled nearly 300 million miles to the red planet tucked inside the belly of the Perseverance rover. Now it's sitting in an airfield in Mars' Jezero Crater, where it's set to take the first controlled powered flight ever conducted on another planet. Ingenuity is set to conduct that flight autonomously early on Monday, and NASA expects to receive data from the helicopter around 6:15 a.m. ET. That's when the agency will know whether the test flight was successful.

Read MoreSimeon’s Malik Elzy after Simeon defeats Kenwood. | Allen Cunningham/For the Sun-TimesWhy there are no Public League teams in the rankings, Notre Dame is back and it’s time for All-Area and POY nominations. There are no Public League football teams in this week’s Super 25. That may be jarring to some, but it is my honest take on the current state of things. I’ve detailed everything Public League football has been up against over the past year in recent stories. There’s enough talent on the high-level Public League teams to be ranked, but they just aren’t there right now and it’s important to keep the Super 25 legitimate. I’ve kept a Public League team or two in the bottom of the rankings most of the season, choosing to give the powerhouses from the city the benefit of the doubt. There ar...

Sen. Dick Durbin speaks to reporters at the U.S. Capitol earlier this month. | Drew Angerer/Getty Images fileWhile Chicago is unique when it comes to its number of known lead service lines, experts told us it’s tough to determine the accuracy of Durbin’s statistic because no national inventory exists.
