A Twitter user watching the game spotted one particular moment between Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade. The caption: “When you’re trying to hook up your boy with girls at the club.” MORE: Stan Van Gundy rips into Pistons after “digusting performance” As you probably know, Wade already has a girl, so he doesn’t need to hook up with anyone. And his girl, actress Gabrielle Union, didn’t appreciate Butler’s off-court assist....
The Manchester City full-back likened the King of Pop to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the undeniable best in their field, and said that even his four-year-old daughter knows about his music. From hip hop to house, MJ has inspired artists from nearly every genre to cement his place in history, with Clichy himself a huge advocate of the icon’s tunes – see Clichy wax lyrical about one of his all-time heroes in the full video above!...
The giant Kansas City Royals logo, shrouded in darkness and rain and maybe a little hail, was most definitely the back of the scoreboard of Kauffman Stadium. Just another ballpark gone quiet for the winter. There are 29 of them now, including the one I left about five hours earlier, Busch Stadium in St. Louis. There is definitely one game left, maybe two, in baseball in 2013, with Fenway Park the scene for the conclusion of the World Series....
The retailer’s share price reached as high as $380 on Wednesday, up from $18 a few weeks ago. The stock value has risen a total of around 1,700 percent this month. Two major investment firms—Citron Research and Melvin Capital—that shorted the GameStop stock, betting the retailer’s share price would plummet, exited their positions on Wednesday, cutting their losses from the recent price surge. Just a week ago, Citron Research was reported to have described GameStop as a “failing mall-based retailer” and bet against it, predicting shares would fall to $20 because it is “pretty much in terminal decline....
Gardner Minshew’s combination of facial hair and, um, on-head hair have been one of the NFL’s more fun things to see on the gridiron since he took the league by storm. Now, Minshew is almost unrecognizable. MORE: Urban Meyer: Tim Tebow has done “decent job” at learning tight end In a video shared on Instagram, Minshew seems to have lopped off the mullet, opting instead for something a bit more cropped and befitting of a boring NFL quarterback....
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., a member of the Senate’s Consumer Protection subcommittee, requested last month that Bettman explain the NHL’s stance on the effects of head injuries in hockey. Bettman, long dismissive of claims linking CTE to the sport, returned a 24-page letter Tuesday that did little to answer Blumenthal’s specific questions directly and repeatedly accused the news media of blowing the issue out of proportion.

Gary Karr had already spent over 20 years behind bars after being convicted of extortion and other charges related to the triple murder. He was given a fresh sentence of 595 months by U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel on Friday, according to Austin, Texas NBC affiliate KXAN. Yeakel reportedly called the case “just as serious a crime as I have ever seen in this court” while handing Karr the maximum possible sentence....
Since gas prices rose to over $5 per gallon nationally back in June, the price has steadily dropped back to around $3.70, with 99 days straight of decreases. That streak snapped on Wednesday, when average prices went from $3.678 per gallon to $3.68, according to data from the American Automobile Association (AAA). While a single cent increase is hardly much to notice, this is a national average, and hides regional differences....
What is a Juggalo? A Juggalo, Juggalette, or Juggala (Spanish) is a follower of the Insane Clown Posse (ICP), a hip-hop music group signed to Psychopathic Records, or any artist linked to the record label. Not to be confused with a Gigolo. The following have their own culture, slang and style, with many, if not all, taking to wearing clown makeup not dissimilar to Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight....
The investment would be broken into three parts: $8.75 billion for homeless housing units and affordable apartments; $3.7 billion for homeless prevention and rental support; and $1.5 billion to clean up roadways and public spaces. Newsom’s plan to address the Golden State’s homelessness crisis was first announced in a statement early Tuesday morning. The Democrat provided more details at a press conference in San Diego. “There’s no greater manifestation of our failure as a society broadly, or as a state more specifically, than the issue of homelessness,” Newsom said Tuesday....
California’s Secretary of State Shirley Weber announced the validation of the 1,495,709 petition signatures needed to trigger the recall election on Monday evening. The petition signers will have the option to remove their signatures as state officials calculate the election’s cost, a process which could take up to three months, according to The Los Angeles Times. After Weber issues an official final certification of the signatures, the state’s Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis can then call for the election to occur within 60 to 80 days....
The interview between the King and Leslie, who met Bryant at 18 and remained friends with the NBA legend, was focused on remembering the late Los Angeles Laker, who died in a helicopter crash in January, and the different aspects of his legacy from Leslie’s perspective. Bryant was accused of rape in 2003 by a 19-year-old woman in Colorado. While the allegations sparked major controversy surrounding Bryant, the case was dismissed when the woman refused to testify....
Brady and the New England Patriots are now synonymous with Perry after Deflate-gate. Brady and the Patriots were caught using deflated footballs in this year’s AFC Championship Game against the Colts, although Perry doesn’t think it will go on any longer. MORE: Vegas reacts to Deflate-gate | Brady’s agent rips investigation “They’d have to be a little bit smarter about it,” Perry told Sporting News Thursday morning. “But they got away with it during the game and won, so that’s all that matters....
It’s derived from a protein (hyaluronan) extracted from the combs, or crests, of chickens, which the human body naturally produces to lubricate joints. It works by restoring levels of this protein. First approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2001, Gel-One was only evaluated in a single clinical trial and was shown to be effective for up to 13 weeks in reducing pain scores, but other endpoints, including stiffness and physical function, were not found to be statistically different than placebo....
The 27-year-old model has been documenting her condition in a series of social media posts since revealing her illness in March. In one clip shared to TikTok, where Tew has more than 660,000 followers, the social media star showed herself struggling to get up from her bed after her weight had plummeted and muscle atrophy had weakened her legs. That clip, which was shared on June 11, has been watched more than 12 million times....
General Motors (GM) and public utility PG&E have announced a partnership that will explore bidirectional charging across its entire EV lineup, which is set to expand in a few years. By this summer, the two companies expect to start testing bidirectional charging using Chevrolet Bolts in a PG&E advanced technology lab in San Ramon, California. They hope to scale the pilot to customer trials by the end of the year....
Such criticisms are becoming almost routine as the war continues, resulting in more Iraq debates, reflection, and headlines. What may not be realized, however, is the affect it has on military families. Taking a look back at past military leaders speaking out along the same lines as Sanchez, there was General Zinni who highlighted “poor strategic thinking”; Generals Swannack and Riggs who had not-so-nice things to say about Donald Rumsfeld; and General Batiste who wrote “we went to war with the wrong war plan....
The genetic difference in question is the absence of two genes (ZBP1 and IFIH1) that, in other mammals, warn the body of any intruders (or viruses) in a similar fashion to a smoke detector raising the alarm if it senses smoke particles. While that in itself is not an advantage, scientists know that pangolins are carriers of COVID-19 and other coronaviruses and yet, they appear to be able to tolerate these pathogens—they just don’t know how exactly that is....
But Dartmouth’s liberal majority doesn’t seem to get it. These students believe that America’s reaction to the terrorists is the real threat. The Dartmouth Free Press, the progressive paper on campus, has been quiet about Rice’s testimony both in its print edition and on its blog. It hasn’t even had anything to say about the Democratic darling, Clarke. Progressives on campus are too busy employing scare tactics about the Patriot Act....
