NAMES & FACES

Joe Burrow

The Heisman LSU quarterback’s Trophy acceptance speech has inspired more than $200,000 in donations to a food pantry in his southeastern Ohio hometown. The effort started Sunday on Facebook, with many of the donations to the Athens County Food Pantry from Louisiana. Burrow grew up in Athens, where his dad Jimmy coordinator was the for defensive Frank Solich at Ohio University from 2005 through ’18. “The poverty rate is almost two times the national average,” Burrow said. “There’s so many people there that don’t have a lot, and I’m up here for all those kids in Athens and Athens County that go home to not a lot of food on the table, hungry after school. You guys can be up here, too.”

Magnus Carlsen

The world chess champion from Norway is showing he has a flair for another game by moving to the top of the standings in Fantasy Premier League, an online soccer competition played by more than 7 million people. The fantasy game involves picking a squad of 15 players from Premier League clubs who score points through goals, assists, defensive shutouts and other elements during each round of games in England’s top division. Carlsen’s team rose to No. 1 in the world Saturday after Mohamed Salah scored twice for Liverpool in its 2-0 win over Watford. “Since a lot of people are asking about my FPL strategy,” Carlsen, 29, told his more than 247,000 followers on Twitter, “mine is the not so groundbreaking one of part stats and part gut feeling.”
