In context, though, his appearance on perhaps the greatest squad of all-time is somewhat defensible. The 1992 Olympics was the first year in which NBA players were allowed to compete, but Team USA reserved one spot on the team for a college player, so Laettner didn’t take a place away from an NBA star. He had just won the Wooden Award and back-to-back national championships at Duke. His Elite Eight buzzer beater against Kentucky that year remains iconic....

Feherty, one of the most luminous personalities in the sport, had starred on NBC Golf telecasts and Golf Channel since 2015.

That’s frankly a pretty shocking confirmation. Fans of both these Deep Silver franchises desperately want to see a new game produced, so they find it agonizing that it’s been so many years since a new entry. Apparently neither of these franchise are anywhere near getting a new game. However, although that seems like it’d be a huge blow to morale for Dead Island and Saints Row fans, it’s actually a good thing that Deep Silver and Koch Media are being so transparent....

No matter how strategically smart Pelosi’s move is, if there is a Senate trial, we know the endgame: The Senate will not convict Trump, and he will claim total absolution after the vote—probably launching an extensive victory tour. Beyond the presidential campaign, who wins control of the Senate in 2020 is almost as important. There was some hope that the House Intelligence and House Judiciary Committee public hearings might move a substantial enough number of independent voters that the outcome of a Senate trial might be different....

He started as a freshman at Alabama. He was benched as a junior. He played in the College Football Playoff each of the last four years for two of the winningest programs in college football with Alabama and Oklahoma. Now, Hurts is trying to prove he can play quarterback at the next level. After an impressive performance at the NFL Combine, he should get that chance. So, why did Hurts leave Alabama for Oklahoma, again?...

“I made a terrible mistake when I was 17 and wish I could take it back more than anything. However, I can’t,” Barrett posted in her recent video. Nessa Barrett came under fire from all directions online in 2020 when she uploaded a video of her and a friend dancing to a man reciting the Quran, the sacred book of Islam. Called out for her offensive content, Barrett deleted the video and issued subsequent apologies....

But if the result did not cause much of a stir, the home team’s apparel certainly invited comment! Ronaldo piles pressure on Barca Real Madrid took to the pitch in a shirt that looked almost transparent, an effect that was exacerbated by the downpour that hit the Spanish capital during play. And the reasons behind the switch are more than laudable, as the Champions League holders made a fine gesture in favour of the environment - although the rain meant viewers may have got more than they bargained for....

The Cardinals were unable to compete with the 49ers during their “Monday Night Football” clash at Estadio Azteca. Arizona lost 38-10 in a drubbing similar to that of their season-opening loss to the Chiefs (44-21). That on-field defeat wasn’t the only loss that the Cardinals suffered, however. They also lost their run game coordinator and offensive line coach, Sean Kugler. Kugler was fired by the team while it was in Mexico City and didn’t participate in Monday’s game as a result....

Ohio State was largely unstoppable on offense as quarterback C.J. Stroud (37-of-46 passing, 573 yards, six touchdowns) and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (15 receptions, 347 yards, three touchdowns) lit up the Utes’ secondary. But Utah coach Kyle Whittingham certainly didn’t aid his team’s effort; he refused to use any of his three timeouts as the Buckeyes drove into field goal range with time winding down. BENDER: Meaningless? Ohio State, Utah show Rose Bowl still speaks for itself in classic shootout...

This year’s EFL Cup and FA Cup finals — both penalty-kick shootout wins over Chelsea — saw the Liverpool contingent croon through their customary ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’. It will be no different at the UEFA Champions League final on May 28 against Real Madrid. But the Gerry and the Pacemakers classic, which first appeared in the 1945 musical Carousel, has a modern-day rival when it comes to being considered Liverpool’s anthem....

Mario Balotelli scored his fifth Ligue 1 goal of the season – and a special goal at that – against Lorient to move Nice back on top of the French top flight. Not only did Balotelli provide the fireworks with an 86th-minute winner but he was also at the center of things in injury time, earning a red card following a clash with Lorient defender Steven Moreira. Referee Olivier Thual spotted something that no one else did when he judged that Balotelli moved his head toward Moreira’s and thus received his marching orders....

The Facebook-owned picture sharing app confirmed on Wednesday that Kennedy Jr.’s account was taken down for repeatedly pushing misinformation about the safety of vaccines being distributed globally to combat the coronavirus pandemic.

Not to be confused with Command & Conquer: Generals 2 coming from BioWare, Tiberium Alliances is the Play4Free browser-based game (requires Origin) currently in open beta.

Advertisement of the game: As soon as the decision was announced, it flocked the billion hearts of a cricket-crazy nation in ecstasy, with a prospect of an exciting concept awaiting to be experienced.

Ignazio Cassis, the president of Switzerland, was seated to the left of the first lady....

While some chalked this up to fans just being ungrateful and entitled, others have defended the backlash and accused Blizzard of simply not understanding their fans, since many expected that their big BlizzCon 2018 announcement would be Diablo 4. It only became more bizarre when recent reports suggested that Blizzard had intended to announce Diablo 4 at the event but pulled it. Blizzard claimed this to be false but new information courtesy of a lengthy article on Kotaku about the Diablo franchise’s history may have shed some light as to why there’s no sign of Diablo 4 yet....
