On Monday, the “Dynamite” singer’s management company, Big Hit Music, revealed that the K-pop sensation was “recuperating” in hospital after undergoing an operation as he also battled mild symptoms of the novel coronavirus. Jimin has since updated concerned fans on the status of his recovery, saying in a post shared on Korean social media platform Weverse that he believes he may soon be discharged from the hospital. “Everyone, you must have worried a lot right?...
A “persistent ego,” as he calls it, led him to being on NASCAR’s top circuit prior to a summer of change for the country in 2020. And that ego also led to social changes within his own sport, which is steeped in southern heritage, Confederate flags and a culture that has been mostly-white for so long. Wallace’s eventual path into motorsports at age 9 seemingly led him to be the right person, at the right time and at the right place for the sport in 2020, though....
Not all Super Bowls have been played in NFL stadiums. That is, until the mid 1990s, when new stadiums were built for teams in hopes of landing a Super Bowl, which is a huge moneymaker for both the team and its city. The Los Angeles Rams won the NFC championship following the 1979 season, and they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XIV at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, which is in the Los Angeles metropolitan area....
The Greek Freak, who was questionable to start the game because of a sprain he suffered in Game 3 of the series, rolled his ankle again in Game 4 on a drive to the basket early in the second quarter. He stayed in the game to shoot free throws and then went to the sideline to be examined. He later limped to the locker room. The Bucks have confirmed Antetokounmpo won’t return....
Thanks to a double overtime victory on Thursday, the Bulls now hold a 3-0 lead over the Bucks. While Milwaukee would love to see their team pull out at least one victory before their season comes to an end, they can sleep well knowing one thing: They’ll be watching Aaron Rodgers come football season, not Jay Cutler.

But as we've seen in the past, like with the Charlotte Bobcats in 2012, the worst team doesn't always get the top pick. With the draft lottery taking place next Tuesday, May 20, the team wants to stir up as much excitement as they can for what is essentially a crap shoot, which is why they sent out 10,000 ping-pong balls to fans with a card that reads "OWN THE FUTURE, WIN THE LOTTERY....
Godwin, 24, said in a recent interview with “The Boardroom” that Winston, 26, “got more of the blame than he deserved” for the turnovers that contributed to the Bucs finishing the season with a losing record (7-9) and missing out on the playoffs. His assessment is both right and wrong. IYER: The Bucs aren’t a Super Bowl contender — yet The nature of the position is such that the old cliche is true: Quarterbacks get more credit then they deserve in wins, and more blame than they deserve in losses....
Asked about how the Bucs attempted just one pass to a tight end against a Giants defense that allows the most receiving yards to tight ends, Koetter said he doesn’t look into stuff like that.

Selig, 80, who became acting commissioner in 1992 and took over the job permanently in 1998. He received a salary of $22 million the past two years. The former Brewers owner helped bring baseball back to Milwaukee in 1970, five years after the Braves moved to Atlanta. The Brewers recently announced they will honor Selig with an interactive exhibit at Miller Park. There already is a statue of Selig outside the stadium....
Despite being beset by injury throughout the year, the Texans won the AFC South for the fourth time in five seasons and will be looking to progress past the wild-card round for only the second time in Bill O’Brien’s tenure. Houston fell at the first hurdle against the Kansas City Chiefs in 2015 and against the Indianapolis Colts last season, but there are valid reasons for optimism this year....
At the beginning of the 20th century, there were just 50,000 Jews in the Holy Land, forming less than 10 percent of the population. From that modest start, Israelis spent almost their entire history fighting and growing, growing and fighting. Faced with the prospect of annihilation, Israelis had no choice but to fight and prevail. As a result, they developed a military and a fighting spirit that, particularly between about 1956 and 1980, became the envy of the world....

Since then, the Bulls have tried a plethora of options at point guard. Kris Dunn, Cameron Payne, Ryan Arcidiacono, Coby White and Tomas Satoransky have tried to fill the void. So far, the team hasn’t been successful in doing so. As such, the Bulls are looking to target a proven free agent to try to upgrade the position. The team is considering giving Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball a hefty offer sheet, reports Jake Fisher of Bleacher Report....
The monks aren’t the only ones who have disappeared. Every night the soldiers and policemen come, whisking people away under cover of darkness. The security forces already seem to have swept up the opposition leaders and the monks; now, the locals in Rangoon say, they’re working their way down to the people who stood at the side of the road and clapped or handed out bottles of water as a sign of solidarity as the monks’ demonstrations passed by during the recent mass protests....
Amateur Burmese python hunter Jake Waleri is currently taking part in the Florida Python Challenge—in which hundreds of participants compete to hunt the huge pythons slithering across southern Florida. Burmese pythons are an invasive species in Florida. They were first introduced to the environment in the 1970s—likely as exotic pets released into the wild.

The man attacked the bus driver while a bus full of horrified students watched, the Pasco Police Department said in a Facebook post. The driver was identified as 72-year-old Richard Lenhart. The alleged killer, who was identified today as Joshua D. Davis, 34, got on the bus in front of the elementary school around 3 p.m., after all the students boarded, and stabbed the driver.
