One would assume this is just a slightly brighter stage than some of their 1-on-1 battles in the driveway, but ahead of their first NBA matchup last season, Lonzo said they didn’t have many individual at-home battles. “Not really too much 1-on-1; a lot of 2-on-2s, 3-on-3s, though, pretty much our whole life,” the older Ball brother said. “1-on-1, I was just always a little too big for him. As far as playing in the backyard, we played 3-on-3 pretty much every day....

It’s a reality that Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk knows all too well. The 20-year-old, now with two seasons of NHL experience to his resume, has shown a tendency to stick his nose in places where it could be compromised — or worse, bloodied. Matthew’s younger brother Brady has known these conditions to a lesser degree, but the ante will be upped when he makes the jump to the NHL. That could come as early as next season, after Brady was selected fourth overall by the Senators in the 2018 NHL Draft....

Ranieri responds to Leicester sacking Palace are second from bottom in the Premier League after losing six of their last seven league games, with Allardyce thus far unable to replicate the escape act he orchestrated at Sunderland last season.

1999 BCS Final: Florida State 46, Virginia Tech 29 Projected playoff setup Florida State (11-0) Nebraska (11-1) Virginia Tech (11-0) Alabama (10-2) The lone controversy is in the seeding. There were no questions at the top with unmatched Florida State, but the next three were intriguing choices. Virginia Tech won the Big East, but did so against a league that had little power beyond Miami. While the Hokies’ blowout of Miami was impressive, the non-conference wins over decent Clemson and Virginia teams weren’t enough to lift them past Big 12 Champion Nebraska – which avenged its only loss of the season (by four points at Texas) with a victory over the Longhorns in the Big 12 Championship Game....

Two weeks later, Fulham emphatically clinched the Championship crown with a 7-0 walloping of Luton Town. The Whites are on top of England’s second tier, returning to the top flight for the third time in the last five years. They hope it will go differently this time around. It has been a season to remember for manager Marco Silva and Fulham, scoring an insane amount of goals in the chase for a Premier League place....

Full moons are a lunar phase that occurs roughly once every month when the moon is located opposite the sun in space, with the Earth in between.

They reportedly have employed it liberally against one another inside the team room, but outside the team room is where its impact is evident. They've been stitching up their opponents.

"This guy's a horse, holy cow," Kuchar said of Tiger....

Meanwhile, the Kerry campaign has done awfully well with Internet fund-raising on its own, bringing in $26.7 million in the first quarter and an additional $8 million in April, to top Dean’s Internet total by almost $5 million. Kerry’s address list has also swelled past Dean’s to 800,000, thanks to clever tactics such as sending around an e-mail petition calling for Donald Rumsfeld’s resignation, which fattened the Kerry e-mail list with 200,000 new addresses–and potential donors....

And one restaurant worker has taken to Reddit’s r/antiwork forum for advice after she was fired—over a job application. In a post shared on 18 August, user u/bluebrindleivy said her manager went through her bag without permission, found the job application, and dismissed her on the spot.
