Read on to find out more about common cognitive distortions and how to deal with them. Causes It is thought that cognitive distortions develop over time.

With MS, the signs may be so subtle in the beginning that people don’t notice them. At other times, they may be aware of the mental glitches, but chalk them up to everything from getting older to simply being tired. Nearly 50 percent of people with MS will experience some form of cognitive dysfunction in the course of their disease. Symptoms Because of the way the disease progresses and the parts of the central nervous system it affects, people with MS-related cognitive dysfunction will often experience the impairment of memory, attention, concentration, information processing, visual perception, verbal skills, and such executive functions as planning or prioritizing....

The NFL’s new COVID-19 protocol gives vaccinated players unrestricted access to team facilities while placing restrictions on those who haven’t received a vaccine. Unvaccinated players will be required daily testing and must wear a mask at all times, even in hotel areas during training camps. They can’t leave the hotel to eat at outside restaurants, and they can’t use saunas or steam rooms. Vaccinated players won’t have those restrictions....

Wouldn’t it be ironic if the best advice on how to save the 29-year-old quarterback’s NFL career came from his fiercest critic, Jason Whitlock of FS1’s “Speak For Yourself”? Almost alone among sports media members, Whitlock has assailed the former 49ers quarterback as an “idiot” and “Martin Luther Cornrows” for taking a knee during the national anthem throughout last season to protest racial injustice. But Whitlock makes sense when he says a move to Jerry Jones’ Cowboys could save Kaepernick’s career....

This conference was exceptionally tough to rank, starting with Kansas' Bill Self. He has over 79,000 followers, but he's sent fewer tweets than the age of the U.S. Oklahoma's Lon Kruger and Baylor's Scott Drew are the league's serial tweeters, but many of their tweets are simply program-centric. We just wanted a little more personality for our No. 1. COACHES’ TWITTER RANKING BY CONFERENCE: AAC | ACC | Big East | Big Ten | Pac-12 | SEC...

So far, those expectations have been met. Alabama has sprung out of the blocks, winning its first two games by a combined 105-13 scoreline. Duke and New Mexico State, Alabama’s opponents in the first two weeks, might not be football heavyweights but the Crimson Tide’s offense looked ruthlessly efficient against both. In Week 2, Alabama thrashed New Mexico State 62-10, with Tua Tagovailoa throwing for 227 yards and three touchdowns, adding 33 rushing yards and a score on the ground....

If No. 7 Auburn’s trip to Florida to take on the No. 10-ranked team in the nation is arguably the pick of the crop, the matchup between Ohio State and Michigan State is no less intriguing. The Buckeyes climbed to No. 4 in the rankings this week, overtaking LSU after thrashing Nebraska 48-7 on the road last weekend. The Cornhuskers were meant to be the first big test of Ohio State’s season, but things panned out very differently....

Get the latest NCAA odds & betting advice at Sports Insider Bahamas Bowl Buffalo -6.5 vs. Charlotte, O/U 51 There has been a ton of action on the under in this game as weather will play a major factor. The forecast is calling for light showers and sustained winds of more than 25 MPH, and that latter report is very significant. While rain and snow don’t have much affect on spreads or totals historically, wind plays a huge part, leading to this total plummeting from 58 to 51....

While Kirk Herbstreit, Rece Davis, Desmond Howard and David Pollack were all on location in Winston-Salem, N.C., Lee Corso remained at home to limit his exposure to the deadly virus.

That’s generally the first question for most college football teams, and with fall camps in full swing there are a handful of notable Power 5 programs that haven’t made a decision. Ohio State has the most-notable quarterback battle in the FBS with three (and maybe four) blue-chip recruits looking to replace Justin Fields. It’s one of the leading storylines of the upcoming season. The Buckeyes aren’t alone, however. Michigan and Notre Dame have quarterback intrigue, even if the Week 1 starter looks like a solid bet....

Auburn snagged the No. 6 spot in the AP rankings with its own lopsided victory over Georgia on Saturday, while the Bulldogs fell to No. 7. Wisconsin’s home win over previously 20th-ranked Iowa kept the Badgers undefeated at No. 4 in both the AP and Coaches polls. Oklahoma’s statement win over TCU put the Sooners well in control in the Big 12 and lifted them to No. 3 in the AP Poll....
