Seven-ton meteor that fell from the Cleveland sky could be seen several states away
SUMMARY: A 7-ton meteor that sped across the Cleveland sky at 45,000 miles per hour on Tuesday broke apart in a thunderous boom that startled residents who feared an explosion. People several states away reported seeing the bright fireball even though it was 9 a.m. The American Meteor Society said it received reports from Wisconsin to Maryland. NASA later confirmed that it was a meteor nearly 6 feet in diameter. Astronomer Carl Hergenrother says meteors typically fall about once a day in the U.S. The meteor was first seen about 50 miles above Lake Erie.

New York transit officials sue Trump administration to restore subway project funding
SUMMARY: The transit agency in charge of New York City’s subway system has sued the Trump administration. It's claiming breach of contract after the administration withheld almost $60 million in federal funding that was supposed to help build new stations in Manhattan. The lawsuit filed Tuesday by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority is the latest in a series of legal battles between the federal government and officials in New York and New Jersey over funding for transportation infrastructure projects. The Trump administration announced in October a hold on $18 billion in funding for the subway extension as well as a new tunnel beneath the Hudson River, citing a government shutdown.

Raiders DE Maxx Crosby says on podcast he was angry and confused after Ravens canceled trade
SUMMARY: Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby said on his podcast that he was angry and confused by the Ravens’ decision to cancel the trade that would have sent him to Baltimore. Crosby said on Tuesday’s episode of “The Rush” that he's “meant to be a Raider.” The relationship between Crosby and the Raiders soured late last season when the team shut him down against his wishes with two games to play because of a knee injury. That led to the decision last week to trade him to Baltimore. But the Ravens backed out of the deal after he flew to Baltimore for a physical.
