The cause of the vessel’s disappearance while it was carrying out a military exercise was never discovered, although it has been proposed that it imploded as it dropped to the bottom of the sea. Experts also thought that it could have been due to a problem with its rudder, a collision, the explosion of a missile or torpedo, or something wrong with its oxygen supply systems. After an appeal by the families of the victims, a new search located the vessel using hi-tech equipment that mapped the tides and currents in the Mediterranean, Agence France Presse reported....

New Jersey has never been an attacking minded team and they’ll continue to rise and fall with their defense and goaltending, which now seems extremely shaky. Tampa Bay with their excellent attacking core is more than willing to exploit any tiredness and errors by Devils defense. Lightning boasts a much better and deeper roster and is in a better form by country mile, so taking a regular time away win is very likely....

Watch the trailer below. Here's what I saw: Two helmet-to-helmet shots that would make Roger Goodell cringe (HELLO, HEADS UP FOOTBALL), a coach doing his best Gregg Williams impersonation, and behavior from adults around 9-year-olds that is pretty inexcusable. Of course, a TV trailer cuts together the juiciest, most salacious bits just to get a reaction. (Congrats, you got me.) Maybe these maniac coaches are surrounded by sane adults to even things out and give out the occasional dose of some behavior-moderating prescription drug....

This year, The Verge’s ad for Helena, Montana “leaked” — wink — but the best regional ad we’ve seen so far belongs to Friskies, with the help of BuzzFeed. The content itself is funny but it’s the locations that will air the ad that take it to another level. MORE: Epic life-sized Pac-Man in ad | Super Bowl XLIX cheerleaders From Ad Age: KITTY Hawk.

In response to Trump’s decision to name Pence “Coronavirus Czar,” Brian Schatz, a Democratic Senator for Hawaii, tweeted some of the most anti-science opinions voiced by the VP over the years, from rejecting climate science to saying smoking does not kill. Here are a few of Pence’s most controversial science remarks. “Smoking doesn’t kill” “Time for a quick reality check,” Pence wrote in an op-ed back in 2000. “Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn’t kill....

The Good Adam Kownacki and Chris Arreola put on an old-school heavyweight fight. What people remember about heavyweight boxing is two guys unloading the heavy artillery on every shot. You get that to some degree these days, but more often than not, one guy crumbles and gets finished. Not on Saturday when Kownacki and Arreola stood toe-to-toe in the pocket for 36 minutes with Kownacki winning by unanimous decision over the former three-time heavyweight title challenger....

Since 1979, the U.S. and Chinese militaries have had their own bilateral relationship. It began shortly after the resumption of diplomatic ties as an effort to bolster China against the Soviet Union. Chinese military officials tour American bases, and American officers try to tour Chinese military facilities-although they are often left out in the waiting area drinking tea. That was frustrating; the exchanges were not even. But were the frustrations so great on the American side that it was worth ending the program?...

Cech was at fault for both goals as Arsenal lost 2-1 at the Amex Stadium in their last top-flight outing, responding on social media after the game by taking full responsibility for the defeat. But the day belonged to the 35-year-old this time around when Watford visited Emirates Stadium, as he saved a penalty from Troy Deeney – who has previously been open in his criticism of the Gunners – and ultimately secured a shutout in Arsenal’s 3-0 victory....

The Good Manny Pacquiao continues to amaze. Typically, the decline of athletes begins in their mid-to-late 30’s. And for a time that appeared to be the case for Pacquiao after a stretch where he went 2-2 from May 2015 to July 2017. But something happened to the Senator of the Phillippines as he approached and reached his 40th birthday in December. He found the fountain of youth and has turned back the clock, going 3-0 in the last 12 months, highlighted by a vintage Pacquiao performance on Saturday night, defeating Keith Thurman by split decision to become the primary WBA welterweight champion in front of a soldout crowd of 14,356 people at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and plenty more watching at home on pay-per-view....

I can certainly empathize with general managers, coaches and contract negotiators around the league who have little salary cap room with which to work — such as Chiefs GM Brett Veach and coach Andy Reid. For them, the Super Bowl party is over. NFL FREE AGENCY:Ranking the top 50 available players in 2020 Veach and Reid are in the midst of difficult and uncomfortable decisions on whether to keep or lose several players from their championship team, starting with wide receiver Sammy Watkins....

They were the best basketball team to come along in years, an immensely talented, wonderfully coached, highly entertaining squad that flirted with history and was rejected. But when the Rebels of Nevada-Las Vegas lost Saturday in the NCAA Final Four, America did not weep for either the players or their coach, Jerry Tarkanian. Maybe the athletes had earned another shot at a national title, but the program certainly didn’t deserve it....

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Minnesota, on Wednesday, U.S. Border Patrol officials stopped a 15-passenger van less than one mile south of the Canadian border, between ports of entry in Lancaster, Minnesota, and Pembina, North Dakota. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Steve Shand, 47, and officials determined two passengers in the van were undocumented Indian nationals. Border patrol officials later “arrested Shand for smuggling undocumented foreign nationals,” prosecutors wrote....

Denver scored five unanswered goals in the third period to take down Minnesota State 5-1 on Saturday. Five different Pioneers found the back of the net as the team won the national title for the first time since 2017. Sam Horton got the Mavericks on the board with a power-play goal in the first period. After Minnesota State shut down Denver in the second period, the Pioneers found their groove in the third....

The Hall of Famer is tired of the pace of play at the Bear’s Club, a golf resort near his South Florida home — ironic since it’s already an exclusive club with initiation fees just south of $100,000, according to Golf.com. Luckily for him, though, he has some extra money to splurge, which has sparked an outlandish idea: Why not build his own golf course from scratch?

The FS1 bloviator took to his microphone on Tuesday’s edition of “The Herd” and decided it was time to drop a nuclear sports opinion on his audience. Patrick Mahomes’ status for Sunday’s AFC championship game is up in the air with the Chiefs quarterback still in the NFL’s concussion protocol, so Cowherd suggested the league should simply wait until he is healthy before the contest between Buffalo and Kansas City is played....

He accepted the Heisman Trophy. "I'm so overwhelmed. It's awesome," Winston said. Winston becomes the third Florida State player — all quarterbacks — to win college football’s most prestigious individual award, joining Chris Weinke (2000) and Charlie Ward (1993). He’s also just the second freshman to win the award, joining 2013 finalist, Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel, who won the award last season. MORE: All-time Heisman winners | Top 10 Heisman classes...
