The $15 million figure, ironically, is the amount federal authorities say the younger Rose received from 160 investors from 2011-14, according to the indictment field in federal court in Tennessee....

Ramos’ position had been in doubt after owner Sheikh Abdullah Al-Thani tweeted farewell to the Spanish boss on the back of Malaga’s Copa del Rey exit to second-tier side Cordoba, which left the team winless in five matches.

Perez was chosen to replace Lewis Hamilton, who departed for Mercedes, for the current campaign but the team has been blighted by inconsistent performances. Perez has 35 points to leave him 12th in the drivers' standings.

As many expected, the Chapter 2, Season 3 map will likely be underwater. While we haven’t reached that point fully yet (Season 3 isn’t out until June 17), the map made enough changes following the Doomsday event that it’s a safe assumption. The map is currently surrounded by walls of water, with only the center still being playable. We can likely expect the center part to also become underwater by the time Season 3 actually starts....

Anderson’s heroics were made even more special by the fact the game was played in a purpose-built 8,000-capacity stadium in Dyersville, Iowa, in the filming location of Kevin Costner’s iconic 1989 movie Field of Dreams. The MLB paid homage to what is widely regarded as one of the greatest baseball movies ever made by scheduling the game for Fox’s primetime slot.

Jordan Pickford, Joe Gomez, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Jack Cork and Tammy Abraham all made their debuts in Friday’s scoreless draw with Germany, and Southgate could give more newcomers their first taste of international football when the Three Lions face Brazil on Tuesday. Vardy 13/2 FGS with dabblebet Angus Gunn, Lewis Cook and Dominic Solanke have all been added to Southgate’s injury-hit squad, but ex-Liverpool forward Fowler believes that the players deserve to be in the reckoning as the manager does not have an unlimited number of players to choose from....

Republicans and Trump allies—including Hannity and the president’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani—have repeatedly attempted to discredit Bolton in recent days, after revelations from his unpublished memoirs were leaked to the press. In the book, the former national security adviser reportedly claims that Trump told him last August that he wanted to continue withholding military aid to Ukraine until the country’s officials agreed to help probe his Democratic rivals. Bolton’s comments contradict assertions of no quid pro quo made by the president’s legal defense team....
