MORE: USA beats Mexico, advances to quarterfinals The players on the U.S. team he’s coaching now are mostly too young to remember — Anthony Davis and Andre Drummond weren’t even born....
When the Rams clinched their second straight division title Sunday, everybody in the NFL had seen it coming all year long. The league-leading Rams (11-1) haven’t surprised anybody this season, not after their remarkable 2017 transformation under rookie head coach Sean McVay. They’re still the division champs again, this time with four games to spare and plenty of opportunities to climb even higher before the postseason. The Rams became the first team to clinch a postseason berth by beating the Lions 30-16 last weekend, guaranteeing themselves at least one home playoff game....
In recent years, the likes of Finn Balor, Jinder Mahal and Kofi Kingston have briefly been involved in the main-event picture after winning World Championships, but they moved back down the card after their title reigns ended. WrestleTalk’s Louis Dangoor is reporting that, unlike those three Superstars, Drew McIntyre is set to remain one of WWE’s top attractions for several years. Drew McIntyre as WWE Champion Drew McIntyre defeated Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 36....

Burrow nearly led the Bengals to a victory over the Chargers in his NFL debut, too. Cincinnati trailed by three points with 3:08 remaining but had the ball at its 13. Burrow, the close-to-home hero, led his team to the LA 3-yard line for at least a game-tying score. Then back-to-back unfortunate events doomed it. MORE BENGALS: What happened to Andy Dalton? Burrow appeared to throw a go-ahead touchdown pass to A....
On Thursday evening the seven-member Indian badmintion contingent will take to the courts at the Riocentro Pavillions, in their respective opening group matches, hoping to get their campaign off to a good start. A lot has been spoken about the Indian Singles contingent to Rio, with two debutants joining Saina Nehwal in their quest to win a medal at Rio PV Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth will very well know that this event will be unlike any other where they have competed in their careers so far....
Baker believes that once these bitter enemies sit down together, what an aide calls a spontaneous “chemical reaction” will occur, catalyzing the peace process. Something like that did in fact occur before the successful Camp David talks, when Egyptian President Anwar Sadat’s unprecedented visit to Jerusalem generated enough Israeli good will to create a political environment in which both sides could make concessions. But this time, the parties will meet not because one of them initiated the move, but because they want to please the United States, the last remaining superpower....
World number one Victoria Azarenka’s tennis-playing stock has never been higher, but further repairs to her image may be appropriate during her title defence at the Qatar Open, which has nine of the world’s top ten, starting Monday. By winning her second Grand Slam title in Melbourne last month, Azarenka displayed a new resilience and clung on to the world number one ranking ahead of Serena Williams. It evidenced a capacity for focus in the 23-year-old which is significantly improved since her younger days when spectacular emotional explosions happened all too often....
I was also skeptical about Azhar Ali as the ODI captain. I never doubted his ability as an ODI batsman and also called for his inclusion in the team in the past, but as captain I had my doubts. We ran a poll on Boys in Green, and also wrote a letter to the PCB Chairman about it including our poll results, which showed that Azhar Ali was the least popular choice among fans....
Although Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik and Misbah-ul-Haq were relatively stable batsmen, Pakistan missed that star element in its top order. They did not have a batsman like Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Kane Williamson, AB De Villiers or Steve Smith who could single-handedly win them matches. There was a gaping hole in their top order that needed to be filled by a batsman with the calibre of stars that all these other top teams had....
According to arrest records, the woman, 59-year-old Terry Delores McKirchy, was arrested on July 2 and booked into a jail in Texas, after a grand jury in Broward County, Florida, found her guilty of first-degree murder for a crime she allegedly committed in 1984.

Lavrius Watson, 26, was babysitting two children at the home of 41-year-old Elizabeth Bennett when the two decided to split a marijuana cookie, according to police. Authorities were called to the scene at approximately 12:24 a.m. after receiving a report of a domestic disturbance.

“I was made aware of a ‘mutual’ statement at the same time you all were, so I’ve needed some time to really digest this,” Crawley shared on Instagram on Thursday, two days after Moss shared his announcement. “Speaking for myself, my intentions with this relationship have been very clear, so the truth is I am crushed.” Crawley and Moss met on The Bachelorette this past summer. Their romance shocked Bachelor Nation and became a breakout storyline when Crawley changed the show’s rules to accommodate what she assumed was true love....

In addition, players will be able to choose one out of the eight playable characters known as Cleaners, and each of them will have unique abilities, perks, and storylines.

Originally teased back in 2019, we finally got our first look at Back 4 Blood gameplay during The Game Awards 2020. The upcoming title looks to be a spiritual follow-up to the Left 4 Dead series, which hasn’t seen a new entry since 2009’s Left 4 Dead 2. While Valve often receives much of the recognition for Left 4 Dead’s success, Turtle Rock Studios was the main development group behind the cooperative hit, and now it is bringing that experience to the next generation of gaming with Back 4 Blood....
To its credit, the aesthetic of Back in 1995 does hearken to the year of its namesake: CRT visuals cascade over the screen in realistic fashion, sending players back to a time of bulky tube-based televisions and murky, stretched visuals. Faux loading screens feature a pixelated rotating disc icon akin to games on the original PlayStation, and the game even goes to a fake input screen of a television on occasion, as if a cable became loose on the gamer’s display....
The era of the teenaged tennis phenom is over and will never return thanks to new age-eligibility rules in women’s tennis.There is unlikely to be another 16 year old win a Grand Slam or top the world rankings like Monica Seles or Martina Hingis did. But even as we wait for a 21 year old Caroline Wozniacki to win her first Grand Slam or another 21 year old Petra Kvitova to unleash the full potential within her and become a dominant champion, it’s typical for tennis fans and writers to look ahead and get excited about the next wave of stars....
Psyonix claims that they’re huge fans of Back to the Future and the DeLorean and that adding the time machine into Rocket League has been a goal on par with creating a hit game. Obviously that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but the quality of the DLC should make it apparent just how excited the team is to add the DeLorean to their game. Just look at the car’s lightning and fire effects, as well as its folding wheels as it takes flight....
