Until last weekend at the RBC Heritage, the PGA Tour record streak for consecutive number of holes played avoiding a thee-putt was held by Luke Donald at 483 holes. When the final round ended last Sunday, Freddie Jacobson set a new record of 524 holes. MORE: Tiger will play at The Players | 17-year-old smokes McIlroy in arm wrestling | Zurich Classic He increased the streak by another 18 holes in Thursday’s first round of the Zurich Classic to 542 or 30 rounds....

The Browns learned that lesson the hard way after a small scuffle between tight end Pharaoh Brown and defensive end Chad Thomas on Sunday. To ensure that fights don’t become a regular occurrence, coach Freddie Kitchens forced the entire team to run sprints as a punishment for Brown and Thomas losing their cool. It’s unclear why Brown and Thomas got into it, but Kitchens is in his first year as the team’s head coach and likely was laying down the law to prohibit future distractions from occurring....

Frederick police confirmed on Twitter that they responded to an active shooter in the 8400 block of Progress Drive. The shooting occurred at Nicolock Paving Stones, according to WJLA, and a SWAT team was deployed. After the initial shooting at Nicolock Paving Stones, the suspect drove away from the scene and to Fort Detrick, a military installation in Frederick, Allan Etzler, a public information officer for the Frederick Police Department, told Newsweek....

It would be fair to say that observers might be confused about the legislation’s effect, considering The Associated Press characterized it as a result of lawmakers “who have run out of patience” with the industry’s “attempts to live out an unregulated, Libertarian, bank-free world.” However, that characterization isn’t quite accurate. On the contrary, the proposal would make it clear that the two tokens fall under the jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)....

Compared with, say, “Toy Story,” this may not sound like the most remarkable premise for a movie. But the madly inventive folks at Pixar may just be the most dependable storytellers now working in Hollywood. The Wachowski brothers could learn a thing or two about suspense, economy, humor and pithy characterizations from the script by director Andrew Stanton, Bob Peterson and David Reynolds, which has the wit to dream up a 12-step program for sharks trying to kick their fish-devouring habits, and the ingenuity to have Marlin accompanied on his quest by a blue tang named Dory, whose eagerness to help is canceled out by her acute case of short-term memory loss....

The first report surfaced on NBC, from Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, minutes before the San Diego Chargers met the Oakland Raiders. Freeman had indicated to at least two news outlets on Saturday that he planned to make a decision sometime Sunday night, after talking to several teams over the weekend. Minnesota, 1-3, had a bye this week after winning its first game in London last week over Pittsburgh. Veteran Matt Cassel played that game in place of starter Christian Ponder, who has a broken rib....

On Thursday night against Minnesota, Freese showed a glimmer of that rising star, which is why Angels manager Mike Scioscia keeps running him out there day after day. Freese had two doubles and an RBI and pinch-hitter Chris Iannetta’s sacrifice fly in the ninth inning lifted the Angels to a 5-4 victory over the Twins. “We know what David can do,” Scioscia said. “Maybe he’s not going to be as electric as he was three years ago in St....

The 25th seed from Canada was due to face Jordan Thompson in the first round at Roland Garros but will be replaced by lucky loser Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Auger-Aliassime suffered the injury during a run to the final of the Lyon Open this week. The 18-year-old said he was “not physically well” after losing 6-4 6-3 to Benoit Paire in the decider on Saturday. Auger-Aliassime failed to make it through qualifying in Paris last year and will have to wait until 2020 to feature in the main draw for the first time at the clay-court grand slam....

Kompany was named in Roberto Martinez’s starting XI for the game against the Netherlands in Amsterdam but was withdrawn shortly before kickoff after alerting medical staff that he had felt some discomfort during the warm-up. It is believed the City defender has suffered a minor muscle problem and will miss the World Cup qualifier against Estonia on Sunday. Carrasco strikes late to deny Netherlands It represents yet another setback for the injury-plagued center back who has struggled to break into Pep Guardiola’s team this season....

They came in tanks, planes and armored combat vehicles–several thousand troops from Angola, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Why? To save President Laurent Kabila, a man whose rule grew so sour that Rwanda and Uganda–both of which helped him topple Mobutu Sese Seko 15 months ago–are now sponsoring a rebellion to destroy him. Kabila’s new allies have no love for him. But they see a fractured Congo as a worse option, and so stormed to his rescue two weeks ago just as the capital, Kinshasa, seemed on the verge of falling....

Out of form with Real Madrid and facing apparently ever-increasing competition for a spot in Didier Deschamps’ squad, he has not kicked a ball for Les Bleus for over two years following a sex-tape scandal that embroiled both the 29-year-old and team-mate Mathieu Valbuena. Although Benzema was cleared of any wrongdoing, his reputation had taken another hit and his popularity in his homeland plunged to an all-time low. He may be at arguably the greatest club in the world, but that will not be enough to persuade Deschamps into offering him a recall, and with the coach recently penning a two-year extension with France, it seems the door will remain shut to him for the foreseeable future....

Their latest gigs took place in Los Angeles, including their 2021 Jingle Ball show in early December and their concerts at the SoFi Stadium as part of their “Permission To Dance On Stage - LA” tour in late November and early December.

On Tuesday night, Carlo Ancelotti's side became the first team in the competition's history to reach the final of the Copa without conceding a single goal after advancing with a 5-0 aggregate win over last year's winner Atletico. But Barcelona's route to the final was similarly impressive, with Gerardo Martino's men winning all but one of their games on their way to the meeting with Madrid on April 19, sealing their spot in the showpiece thanks to a 1-1 draw at Real Sociedad on Wednesday....

Featuring David Platt and Piotr Swierczewski on the front cover, there was certainly no Frostbite or Ultimate Team features to get 90s gamers buzzing with excitement. But there was the ability to score a cracking free kick and hear the crowd roar. FIFA and PES YouTuber ‘Shade’ has put together a compilation of FIFA free kicks right up to this year’s edition, enjoy! Have you scored an amazing free kick on the new FIFA?...

Truax shared the post on Reddit thread r/nextf******level, a page dedicated to people and things that show above-average occurrences worth celebrating.

Monarch Butterfly' North America The only butterflies that make a two-way migration, monarchs travel up to 3,000 miles from their birthplace in Canada to their wintering grounds in southern California and central Mexico.

A century later, a student at Yale wrote a paper about the limitations of service by air freight companies. That was in 1965. His name was Frederick Smith. Mr. Smith bought a controlling interest in an aviation company in Arkansas. The company shipped 186 packages in 14 small aircrafts from Memphis on its first day. That was 1973. It was the beginning of FedEx. Today, Mr. Smith is still the boss....

Mikel Arteta’s side arrived at Wembley with next to no one giving it a chance against Manchester City, yet it’s the Gunners and not Pep Guardiola’s men who will return next month for the final after a fabulous 2-0 win. This was a victory that came straight from the training ground, one in which every single player played their part. Fortune may have favored Arsenal when it saw off Premier League champion Liverpool in midweek, but it deserved everything it got at Wembley on Saturday evening....

With hospitalizations across the U.S. hitting record levels, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized a vaccine developed by Moderna for emergency use—the second COVID-19 vaccine to get such approval. The FDA commissioner, Stephen Hahn said that the availability of a vaccine in addition to the one developed by Pfizer, was “another crucial step in the fight against this global pandemic. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) told NBC he expected Moderna’s vaccine, which is is 94 percent effective at preventing the disease, to be administered to people “by the very early part of next week....
