MORE: The Cavs’ parade was legendary Right; LeBron pulling the Irish Exit and hanging out alone, picking at a pizza. That’s illustrative. But … J.R. Smith sprayed $23,000 worth of champagne. In a single night. That’s a fitting start to The Summer of Swish. For context, let’s say Smith did that with $3 PBR pounders. He’d have dumped 7,666 of them, totaling 126,666 ounces (or 928 gallons). That’s almost enough to fill this pool with PBR....
The home team will be looking to return to winning ways and preserve (if not add to) their 7 point lead at the summit of Japan’s top flight. Meanwhile, the visitors need a victory to keep their title hopes alive. They currently sit in 5th place on 36 points, 12 behind the leaders. This is FC Tokyo’s last match at their home stadium before a strenuous run of 8 away matches due to the disruption caused by the 2019 Rugby World Cup....
Yokohama F Marinos leapfrogged season long leaders FC Tokyo to the top spot after the capital city club faltered to struggling Shonan Bellmare last weekend. Marinos now sit on 64 points with Tokyo breathing down their necks on 63. The stage is seemingly set for a closing day decider when the two sides meet on December 7th. With the majority of J League fans enthralled by the prospect of an end of season showdown, few are considering the chances of 3rd place Kashima Antlers on 60 points....
“So Elon, how’s that ‘free speech’ thing working out?” White wrote. White was among the many celebrities who abandoned Twitter in the days following Musk’s acquisition of the social media platform. In a November 20 message on Instagram, White stated he was deleting his Twitter account due to Musk allowing former President Donald Trump to return; a decision that White called “absolutely disgusting.” On Thursday, West—who legally changed his name to Ye last year—was a guest on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ InfoWars program....
There have been reports of damage, though the full extent has not yet been specified, according to local news station KTVT. Unverified reports on social media said that several homes, a local animal shelter and Jacksboro High School are among the damaged buildings. The storm comes as the beginning of spring brings severe conditions to the area, with AccuWeather reporting “explosive weather” across Texas and Oklahoma on Monday. In the past month, the region has seen a variety of extreme weather conditions that have ranged from ice and snow to warm and dry temperatures that helped fuel wildfires....
The staring contest was always going to last into November, and Trouba was always going to sign for much, much less than he’d earn on anything approaching an open market. Voila: Winnipeg signed their 22-year-old, very-good defenseman to a two-year deal worth an average of $3 million annually. MORE: Biggest player changes for 2016-17 Right now, best case for Trouba is that his new, half-of-what-he-asked-for price tag makes him more attractive via trade....

Ramsey, who left Jacksonville in a blaze of bitterness, said he remains on the same page as Los Angeles and is confident he’ll come to an agreement eventually. He does not plan to sit out training camp for leverage purposes. “I can’t really worry about that,” Ramsey told reporters about the negotiations. “I just control what I got to worry about right now. I feel like everybody knew what type of situation it was gonna be once they traded for me, so I think it doesn’t really need to be talked about that much....
In a rematch of the 2017 Gold Cup final won by USA, Jamaica emerged triumphant courtesy of Nicholson’s first international goal at Audi Field on Wednesday. Nicholson came off the bench and beat Zack Steffen with a memorable strike from outside the penalty area in Washington as both teams stepped up their preparations for the upcoming tournament. Playing without Chelsea-bound star Christian Pulisic as head coach Gregg Berhalter gave players a chance to stake their Gold Cup claims, USA made a strong start but struggled afterwards....
Winston became the first Heisman Trophy winner in 28 years to hit the diamond, and the sixth overall. Bo Jackson (Auburn) was the last one.

Bucs quarterback and No. 1 overall draft pick Jameis Winston is excited for the upcoming season, but he might have a bigger circle around Sept. 27 on his calendar. That’s when the Bucs travel to Houston to play the Texans and J.J. Watt in an NFC South vs. AFC South battle.

What is Bale’s net worth and salary The playmaker has only started seven La Liga matches this season and has regularly been linked with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu. And James feels he is able to play to his strengths more with Colombia than during his appearances for Madrid. With Madrid, the Colombia captain finds he often has to be safer in possession while playing in a midfield three....
James Jones got his turn Sunday. And the lift he brought, combined with the expected playoff showings from LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, have the Heat off and running in these playoffs. James scored 27 points, Wade added 23 and the Heat rode two big runs — one late in the first half, the other down the stretch — to beat the Charlotte Bobcats 99-88 in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round series....
Penn State football is three seasons into Franklin’s tenure, and only five years removed from the devastating sanctions levied by the NCAA as a response to the university’s handling of allegations against former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. MORE: Perfect playoff scenarios We are maybe six months removed from Franklin’s name being on the list of coaches on the “hot seat,” and not even two months from Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour going on the offensive to defuse any speculation along those lines....
So, of course, some enterprising Marvel fans have also tried to decipher Groot’s dialogue for themselves, under the reasonable assumption that if it means something to the characters around him, they must be able to derive his meaning from context. A video recently made the rounds with subtitles theorizing a few lines from Avengers: Infinity War, including a couple with a young Groot traveling through space with Thor and Rocket, his appearance at Wakanda, and of course, his final words as he gets erased from existence by Thanos....
The upcoming Peacemaker series, which will be a spinoff to James Gunn’s wacky gore-fest The Suicide Squad, has been shrouded in mystery from its announcement to even now when its 1st season has already completed filming. While it’s not exactly out of place for such a project to remain mostly under wraps, interest in what exactly the show will be about absolutely skyrocketed when The Suicide Squad finally premiered. So what’s the deal?...
The last film in the franchise was released five years ago, and fans are now ready for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 to arrive. Even though they still have to wait another year, the news of filming being almost complete has been welcomed by fans, as it means that the project is one step closer to its May 2023 release. While post-production might take some time, fans are confident that Gunn will keep them updated throughout the process....
The incident in question occurred at 4:00 in the fourth quarter of the Rockets' 107-94 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday. Something tells me this won't be the last time Harden is fined. Harden is a known flopper. His game is similar to the Spurs' Manu Ginobili, another elite flopper. Harden led the NBA in free-throw attempts last season, and his ability to draw fouls through exaggeration had a lot to do with that....
Enrique casts doubt on Barca future The 25-year-old had been expected to leave the Santiago Bernabeu after being reduced to a bit-part role and admitting he had offers from other teams. James has subsequently been linked with a whole host of clubs including Juventus who have hinted they could move for the playmaker. However, Mendes has now seemingly ruled out a January exit from the Bernabeu, telling AS: “James will not be leaving Madrid in January....
I grew up in a time when Ronaldinho danced with the ball like a prom king does with his queen; so elegant that it mesmerised the minds of the one who had the privilege to witness it. I grew up in a time when Michael Laudrup found passing channels through the defence like a hawk finds a piece of needle in a haystack. I grew up in a time when the central attacking midfielders – the number 10s – were adored....
