Now a wizened 22 years old and in his fourth major league season, the Nationals’ MVP candidate knew what to expect when he came to Yankee Stadium on Tuesday, and just how to respond. MORE: Must-see photos of Bryce Harper After talking about his previous trips to the Bronx, leading up to his first major league game at The House That George Built, Harper mused about old Yankees he admired, from Paul O’Neill to Babe Ruth....
Wallace, the only Black driver in NASCAR’s Cup Series and an Alabama native, told CNN’s Don Lemon that no matter how long the rope had been up there, it was “a straight-up noose” and not a garage pull, which is what social media detectives are claiming. “I’ve been racing all my life. We’ve raced out of hundreds of garages that never had garage pulls like that. So people that want to call it a garage pull and put out all the videos and photos of knots being their evidence, go ahead,” Wallace said....
Athletic director Jamie Pollard wasn't exactly thrilled about it. Palo was suspended in 2012 after being charged with second-degree sexual assault. The charge was dropped a year ago, and the university's Office of Judicial Affairs cleared Palo to return to the team. However, Palo was found to have violated Iowa State's student code of conduct and kicked off the team. The dispute wound up in court. A Webster County judge issued a temporary stay for Palo, allowing the backup senior point guard to rejoin the Cyclones pending the outcome of further court proceedings....
Royal household staff in black ties emerged to place a framed plaque on the railings at the front of Buckingham Palace officially announcing the death of Queen Elizabeth II’s consort. People have also gathered and placed flowers outside Windsor Castle where the palace had said Prince Philip had “passed away peacefully this morning.” “It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh,” the palace statement said....
Once the Game 5 buzzer went off, the Bucks’ social media team didn’t miss the opportunity to troll former Celtics great and current ESPN analyst Paul Pierce, who sincerely believed the second-round series was over following Boston’s Game 1 win. After Pierce’s bold proclamation, the Bucks won four straight to eliminate the Celtics.

Golden State (10-1) will look to remain undefeated at home with a win over Milwaukee (8-2). The Bucks will need a big performance out of star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is averaging 25.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game. The Warriors are riding an eight-game winning streak into the contest behind a hot start from Stephen Curry. The two-time MVP is averaging 31.2 points per game and shooting an incredible 50....

That being said, it was probably a distraction many of the players enjoyed. MORE: Cheerleader gallery | Celebration injury, part 2 | Sammy’s celebration fail | Worst INT of the season The Vikings won on a walk-off fumble return in overtime, so clearly the cheerleaders have some work to do in the distraction department.

AECOM, a California-based architectural and design firm, was hired Tuesday to identify three to four sites across the region that could serve as the team's new home. The firm will work with sports business attorney Irwin Raij, who is heading Gov. Andrew Cuomo's efforts to keep the Bills in the region. The Bills' future is uncertain because they will be put up for sale following Ralph Wilson's death in March....
Juve were on the brink of forcing extra-time in the Champions League quarter-finals, having taken a 3-0 lead at the Santiago Bernabeu after losing by the same score in Turin. But referee Oliver awarded Madrid a late penalty after Medhi Benatia barged Lucas Vazquez to the ground, with Buffon reacting aggressively and earning a red card for putting his hands on the official. Buffon then blasted Oliver after the match, accusing him of having a “trash can” for a heart and claiming he did not have the personality to officiate such a game....
EMP is the first major public building of Gehry’s to open since the Bilbao museum nearly three years ago. Gehry has said that the pressure to top Bilbao didn’t really affect EMP–he’d started designing it long before the Guggenheim even opened. And despite that six-week funk, he says he’s very happy with how the $100 million-plus building turned out–he’s even described it as “huggable.” Huggable? “It’s a primitive thing,” he says, pointing to the curve of his arm....
After working for the team as an associate head coach, Boylen was appointed to the top job in Chicago in December 2018, though he was not able to turn around the franchise’s fortunes. The Bulls posted a 39-84 record during his tenure, failing to make the playoffs. They were 22-43 when the current campaign was suspended, meaning they missed out on being involved in Orlando when play eventually resumed in late July....
BUN is produced by the breakdown of protein and usually cleared from the blood by the kidneys. A higher than normal value may show impaired kidney function. What Is Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)? BUN is a waste product of cell metabolism. You get protein from the food you eat, and it enters the bloodstream from the intestines to be used by cells throughout your body. Your cells break protein down into amino acids to build back up into the proteins they need for various processes....
Reality check, anyone? Distasteful these incidents were, yes. But they hardly reflect upon Germany’s 2,700 soldiers in Afghanistan the way prisoner abuses and alle-gations of torture discredited America’s reputation in Iraq. If anything, the tizzy illustrates a growing nervousness on the home front. With the German Navy deploying on the coast of Lebanon last week and fresh worries that German peacekeepers in Congo may not be home as planned by Christmas, the country seems only now to be wak-ing up to its new global military role....

But which frills can be cut from a humble Greyhound? Bus stations, advertising, English-speaking staff and (occasionally) heated buses. Fares have also been kept low by fierce competition among the Chinatown lines. At times, perhaps, too fierce: New York police took 16 buses off the road last week for failing inspection, and are investigating whether the murders of two Chinatown bus employees and a spate of assaults are related to friction between rival companies....
They point to his calendar, which so far this year, has included roughly 70 appearances on behalf of the GOP and its candidates. And two weeks before Election Day, administration officials continue to cite a backlog of requests they’ve had to turn down in recent months, simply because Bush has been too busy. More than anything, they cite numbers as proof that Bush hasn’t lost his groove: the president has raised more than $100 million for the GOP this campaign cycle, making him by far the most popular Republican fund-raiser on the circuit....
Trump and his former attorney Powell claim that the last presidential election was “rigged” or “stolen” in favor of President Joe Biden. Although the former president and many of his allies continue to promote the conspiracy theory, they have not provided any evidence. Meanwhile, Trump and Powell have raised millions of dollars as they claim to be fighting against “election fraud.” “Let’s be clear about something: Spreading fake news alone may be protected speech under the First Amendment....
“Sondland – in a last ditch effort to avoid going to the slammer for perjury - comes clean (at least partly). Trump is going down,” Painter tweeted as U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland testified before the House Intelligence Committee in the ongoing impeachment inquiry against Trump. “Senate Republicans need to demand his resignation TODAY!” In a follow-up tweet, he wrote: “Game over. Send Trump home. Swear in Pence....
