Texas said in a statement Thursday that Cleare signed a scholarship agreement and plans to enroll in classes this summer. Although he'll train and practice with the Longhorns, he'll be ineligible under NCAA rules to play until the 2015-16 season when he'll have two seasons of eligibility left. Maryland granted Cleare and guards Nick Faust and Roddy Peters releases to transfer earlier this month. The 6-foot-9 Cleare came to Maryland two years ago as a highly touted recruit from the Bahamas but started only 28 of 69 career games....

Maryland (15-3, 6-1 in Big Ten), has won six straight games, the last five of which have come within the conference. Its mettle has been tested recently, as its last two wins have come by a combined seven points over Indiana and Wisconsin. Junior guard Anthony Cowan leads the Terrapins in points (17.8) and assists (4.4) per game. After rising to as high as No. 13 in the AP Poll, the Buckeyes (12-4, 2-3) have lost three straight conference games, including one to Rutgers, a team that is barely hovering over ....

Connolly, a Democrat who represents the 26th Middlesex District, posted an open letter, which was signed by 10 other state representatives, on Facebook on May 15. The letter, which has since been signed by an additional state representative, called on the governor to extend the state’s lockdown measures. Below the letter in the comments, a Facebook user posted a photo of a large firearm with the threatening message: “You might want to rethink your letter....

The clip, shown above, was posted to TikTok by user @mrsb111 on Tuesday. There, it quickly went viral, racking up a whopping 10.6 million views and counting. It begins by showing the scene—as Alaskan forest—while a deep, monotone voice is heard repeating the phrase, “Hey, big boy.” Meanwhile, a member of the group appears to whispers under their breath: “S**t.” Slowly, the grizzly bear comes into frame on all fours....

The Interco Warehouse, a large metaltronics recycling plant on Fox Drive in Madison, caught fire sometime around 10:30 on Wednesday morning. While the cause of the fire is still unknown, some workers reported they were inside the building when a large explosion occurred, said retired Madison County Fire Chief Mike Foley in a press conference on Wednesday.

Oh, and taking home a gigantic check must be pretty nice, too. Even for the golfers who don’t have great performances at Augusta National, making the cut and playing four rounds can result in a solid payout. Just last year, the four players who finished tied for 51st each walked away with $28,003 — not bad at all for a few days of work. What’s on the line at this year’s event?...

Yet that’s just what happened at the Westfalenstadion on Saturday, where Bayern Munich were taking on Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker. Bayern 8/1 to beat Anderlecht 2-1 Bayern defender Mats Hummels, who is dealing with a couple of toe injuries, decided the best solution would be to cut a hole in each of his boots to give his appendages a bit of room to breathe. For his part, the defender says the holes don’t change his play at all and they certainly didn’t seem to on Saturday as he and Bayern rolled to a 3-1 win....

Everything after Jeopardy! is still a lot livelier than I anticipated. I had very much expected my Jeopardy! run to end and for life to go back to normal 24 hours later. That’s not been the case. I didn’t think anyone would still care what I have to say, but I’ve been getting various speaking and appearance requests and that has been fun because it reminds me that I’m still wanted out there....

Santos was sworn into the U.S. House last week representing New York’s 3rd Congressional District. But just months after flipping a Democratic-held House seat, he is facing calls to resign amid multiple ethical complaints and criminal investigations. Joseph Cairo, the chair of the Nassau County Republican Committee, called for Santos to resign on Wednesday and several Republican lawmakers from New York have since joined the calls. Santos has resisted the demands, tweeting on Wednesday: “I was elected to serve the people of #NY03 not the party & politicians, I remain committed to doing that and regret to hear that local officials refuse to work with my office to deliver results to keep our community safe and lower the cost of living....

Gaetz was questioned by host Laura Ingraham about the possibility of Republicans striking a deal with Democrats to elect a moderate Republican as House leader. “Will you be OK, congressman, if there’s ultimately a deal struck with moderate Democrats that give Democrats co-control of the committee?...

Hardy appeared on Monday’s episode to confront Randy Orton after the latter tried, for the second week in a row, to explain his actions towards Edge. The “Woken One” told Orton that, regardless of his feelings toward Edge, they were in the WWE together and would change the promotion forever. Matt asked why Orton did it after Edge made his miraculous comeback from retirement. This caused Orton to attack Matt, and, after a back and forth, Randy stood tall after one RKO and a con-chair-to....

Harvey allowed nine runs (six earned) in 2 2/3 innings to the Nationals in the worst start of his major league career. Seven of those runs came in the third inning when he couldn’t work around shoddy New York defense. He took the loss in a 9-1 Nats triumph.

The other alternative would be a rehab stint. “It needs to be looked at a little more deeply, because it's not a slam-dunk surgery right now,” Rays manager Joe Maddon told the newspaper. Moore left Monday's start against the Royals in the fifth inning with an apparent elbow injury. Moore could be seen grimacing while extending his left arm and shaking his forearm after covering a play at first base....

Early in the fourth quarter of the team’s 37-10 loss to Los Angeles, Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan went down with an injury after getting sacked by Aaron Donald.
