All he had to do was make a simple layup, and the Bucks would win. About that. The reaction from the bench was absolutely priceless. Say hello to “Shaqtin’ A Fool,” Brandon. (UPDATE: Yep. He was the fifth and final nominee Thursday night.)
Hutchins was killed and writer-director Joel Souza injured on Thursday, after Alec Baldwin discharged a prop gun on the New Mexico set of their film, Rust.

The right fielder, who underwent surgery in December for a herniated disc in his neck, was just cleared for practice on Tuesday and doesn’t plan on participating in the spring training games. In fact, there is a good chance that he won’t be ready for opening day. “Opening day is a goal,” Markakis said to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday. “It’s one of those things you work for and try to get there as far as injuries....
One of the most famous and controversial plays from the classic 1991 World Series involved Twins first baseman Kent Hrbek and Braves base runner Ron Gant. In the third inning of Game 2, Gant singled. As he headed back to first after rounding the base, Twins pitcher Kevin Tapani fired the ball to Hrbek, who pulled Gant off the bag and tagged him for the final out of the inning....
The move was announced by team president John Schuerholz, who called it a “cumulative” decision based on the team’s performance and troubling signs in player development. Former Cleveland and Texas general manager John Hart replaces Wren on an interim basis. While the 66-year-old Hart said it wasn’t his desire to take the job permanently, Schuerholz said it’s possible he would be considered. “It is our goal and our emphasis to find that Braves’ way again, to reinvigorate it and make it better than it’s ever been before,” Schuerholz said at a Turner Field news conference....
So much for a warm Caribbean welcome. When Bill Clinton arrives in Barbados the week after next to meet with Caribbean leaders, his reception will surely be more diplomatic. But throughout the Caribbean, there is a strong undercurrent of resentment against the United States. After years of nourishing democracies in the islands, economic assistance is drying up even as walls of protective tariffs come tumbling down. U.S. economic aid to the Caribbean has fallen by 90 percent, from $226 million in 1985 to $22 million in 1995....
And even if he continues improving all season, he won’t be the Buckeyes starting quarterback in 2015. That title belongs to Braxton Miller.

If you’re having trouble understanding this logic, you’re not alone. These are baseless ravings of a hubristic leader who continues to put his personal ideology ahead of facts and what’s best for those he is supposed to serve. It’s that same hubris that led him to reject the $22 million in aid the G7 nations recently offered to help fight the fires. In addition to environmental protection, Bolsonaro has also been a vocal opponent of progressive policies like same-sex marriage, affirmative action and gender equality....
This is how the Electoral College works: It is a two-step democratic process. We the People vote in each of our states. Based on that vote, our state’s electoral votes are cast for president and vice president. The system has worked this way for over 200 years, providing important checks and balances. Today, there are two efforts to destroy that system. One seeks to change the Constitution, eliminating the Electoral College and replacing it with a national direct election....

While a TV character might get relief from the symptoms of hyperventilation using the method, it doesn’t always work in real life. It’s possible that the trick can work in some cases of true hyperventilation, but it’s not the ideal treatment. Even more importantly, in some instances, it may be dangerous. If you think you’re hyperventilating but are actually experiencing symptoms of a more serious medical condition, you may be putting your health—if not your life—at risk....
Game of the Week New Orleans Saints at New England Patriots (Sunday, 4:25 p.m., FOX). This road trip is a little different for Drew Brees. Brees, as both a Chargers and Saints quarterback, has never lost to Tom Brady’s Patriots. When the Saints won the Super Bowl in 2009, they ripped New England, 38-17, in Brees’ first 5-TD game in the NFL. While many teams fold in the face of Brady and Bill Belichick, there will be no fear or holding back from either Brees or Sean Payton....

A grand jury announced last week that it decided to indict one officer involved in the incident with three felony counts of wanton endangerment....
Now, though, we realize Saladino is a machine in those situations despite his measly .227 career batting average or 19 home runs in 319 games. He hit a game-tying grand slam Sunday against the Diamondbacks, then followed it up with another one to take the lead in the eighth inning Monday against the Reds.

Garza completed a four-year contract with Milwaukee on Sunday, strengthening the top of the rotation and boosting the Brewers' hopes following a disappointing season. The deal includes an option and performance bonuses that could make it worth up to $67 million over five years. General manager Doug Melvin called Garza an "established, top-of-the-rotation pitcher." "The thing about signing Matt now, it gives us a lot more depth and, as you know, during a baseball season, you never use five starters," Melvin said....
“Off the field he reminds me of that affluenza kid,” Billick said. “He just doesn’t get it. And again, maybe the way he was raised he just doesn’t have the reference frame. For whatever it’s worth, I’ve seen nothing on the football field athletically, and the way he plays his game, to indicate he can last in the NFL.” MORE: These teams might take a chance on Manziel | Johnny’s antics, chronicled...
Bill Belichick was a person of interest this offseason with Flores, sending now-infamous text messages to Flores that seemed to paint Brian Daboll as the Giants’ choice for head coach before Flores even interviewed for the position. The text messages were unveiled in Flores’ lawsuit against the NFL, which cites racial discrimination, among other things. Flores explained how crucial those texts were to his lawsuit in an appearance with “I Am Athlete”: MORE: Brian Flores’ lawsuit, explained...
