The move does not come without consequences. Stenson, who had been selected as the captain of Team Europe for the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome, has since had his captaincy removed — part of ongoing hostilities between LIV Golf vs. the PGA and DP World tours.

It was Kellerman’s coming out party as the official replacement for the now departed Skip Bayless. The 42-year old Kellerman made a solid first impression as he came out swinging against former ESPNer Bill Simmons’ favorite target: the NFL. Replacing Bayless will be no small challenge for Kellerman, the former co-cost of ESPN2’s “SportsNation” with Michelle Beadle and Marcellus Wiley and longtime boxing commentator for HBO. Troll or no troll, Bayless was the dominant face of “First Take” and its predecessor, “Cold Pizza....

Graham, the former Saints tight end, said he started to grin soon after he learned of his trade to Seattle. But the other half of the trade that had Unger going from Seattle to New Orleans wasn’t as welcomed. MORE: Saints transform to run-oriented team | Graham puts Seahawks over top “I’ve had so much invested in what’s happened up here for so long, and to get a call like this out of left field, I was bummed,” the center told Seattle’s 950 KJR last week....

So how did this film manage to resurrect the left-for-dead cyberspace genre in such high style? For one thing, writer-directors Larry and Andy Wachowski (whose only other film was the slick lesbian thriller “Bound”) didn’t fall into the trap of depicting virtual reality as a videogame designed by geeks on LSD. “When you try to put on screen what cyberspace looks like, it fails because there’s no reference for it,” says Larry, 33....

Mayfield has highs in the 50s and lows near freezing Monday as residents wait for their power and heat to be turned back on for the buildings that weren’t leveled. However, its unlikely utilities will be restored anytime soon based on the level of damage Mayfield sustained. A cluster of tornados Friday killed dozens of people and leveled homes and buildings across five states. Kentucky was hit by four tornados, including one with a path of about 200 miles, according to authorities....

If there were any fears that the weight of a €180 million price tag might weigh the young France international striker down, those were abolished at Metz’s Stade Saint-Symphorien as he struck what proved to be the winning goal on what was a testing occasion for PSG. Rennes 4/1 to beat Marseille Edinson Cavani opened the scoring in the first half after being teed up by Neymar but Emmanuel Riviere’s unlikely equaliser before the break raised doubts for the visitors that were not answered until their new striker took to the fore after the interval....

In the TikTok post, shared online last week, channel @healthyjunkfood uploaded a video where a man switched up his fries order which earned praise online. As the clip started the customer told McDonald’s staff he wanted a large fries order, but that he wanted it in a large cup—which would usually be home to a soda, rather than the salted potato treats. The order turned into a spectacle of sorts, as staff members showed up to see why the customer would make such an unusual request....

It will either be fabulously successful. Or an utter disaster. No matter how you analyze it, there is no right or wrong with the new CFP — only opinions. That’s where a media group of 16 comes into play. HAYES: Four in, four out | Which undefeated teams reach playoffs? | FIRST-AND-10: Don’t blame officials Beginning Thursday, the group will mock a playoff from the 2008 season. Because the current season is barely a month old, it doesn’t follow CFP protocol — the first poll is near the end of October — to use this year’s race....

According to Kaiser Family Foundation data, 14% of all Medicare beneficiaries are under age 65. As of April 2021, 63.3 million Americans were enrolled in Medicare.

No, it’s unlikely that Brown thinks Pritchard is better than Jordan, James or even teammate Jayson Tatum. But the point guard from Oregon has provided a spark to the Boston second unit early in the season while Kemba Walker continues to miss games with a knee injury. Pritchard had a career night in a Dec. 29 win over the Pacers, scoring 10 points with five rebounds and five assists. “Payton is the GOAT, man,” Brown said....
