Especially these dogs, who felt like the greatest rapper of all time was speaking directly to them: Bitch, be humble. Sit down. These two videos were posted a day apart, leading some commenters to wonder whether Kendrick-loving dogs are becoming a new meme. Others accused the owners of faking the videos by giving their dogs hand commands offscreen. Jennifer Kruse, the owner of the little dog in the cone, says all she did was hold up a treat.

France’s encounter with England was fun. Harmless, meaningless fun. And it’s rare that that can be said of a modern-day football match. This was a particularly friendly friendly. England played host to France in November 2015 with great tact and sensitivity just days after Paris was attacked by terrorists. Nineteen months later, after recent attacks in Manchester…
ERIC DIER is Jose Mourinho’s top midfield target this summer, according to European football expert Gabriele Marcotti.

And Marcotti says United want Tottenham ace Dier, with Monaco midfield maestro Fabinho a back-up option for the Red Devils. “This is a bit of a funny one because certainly the information coming from Monaco was that they would let Bernardo Silva…
