She doesn’t feel defeated for the Daytona 500. It’s more about what she has to do to earn a spot in the race. Patrick, along with team co-owner Tony Stewart, will have to start their 150-mile qualifying races Thursday from the rear of the field after suffering blown engines in practice on Friday. And no matter where they finish in the Duels, they will start the Daytona 500 from the rear as well....

When Cormier and Jones were ready to meet in The Octagon at UFC 197, Cormier was forced to bow out after suffering a shin injury. MORE: When is enough really enough for Jon Jones?...

No details of defensive midfielder Danilo’s contract were announced by Nice, who reportedly paid €8 million (£7m/$9m) for his signature. The 22-year-old scored four goals in 31 league appearances for Braga in 2017-18, helping them to fourth place in the Primeira Liga. He also captained Brazil at the 2015 Under-20 World Cup.

He’s collected Emmys, Grammys, and Academy Award noms—and it was understandably a challenge to distill that vast career down into a Coachella set. Celeste Headlee, co-host of Newsweek’s The Debate, sat down with Elfman ahead of his first of two sets to talk through how you even begin to collect all that music in one place. Elfman will once again take the stage this coming weekend, on Saturday, April 23rd....

Then came another issue, a strained left calf that seemed like a minor injury. Now news comes from the team that Granger will miss the first three weeks of the regular season. This is only a slight setback at the moment, but Granger's presence is needed on the Pacers. Indiana played the Miami Heat to seven games in the Eastern Conference Finals last year and expected to improve with a healthy Granger....

With two minutes left in the fourth quarter on Sunday, the Rams linebacker timed his leap perfectly and jumped over the Giants’ line to block a Josh Brown field-goal attempt. MORE: Week 16 must-see photos | Rams and Giants get in brawl | Dominic Raiola stomps ankle It was an incredibly acrobatic move as Bates landed perfectly on his feet, then proceded to jump again to block the kick....

Between the Soca Warriors’ hyper-defensive tactical setup, to the lung-gripping altitude that took some adapting to, Thursday’s 2-0 win wound up looking more difficult than it was expected to be. That wasn’t all that went against script. Clint Dempsey figured to tie or break Landon Donovan’s goal-scoring record, but failed to find the net in a shortened performance that concluded with his unhappy exit. Christian Pulisic’s latest star turn quickly overshadowed Dempsey’s grumpy display, and while the young sensation deservedly grabbed the headlines, he was far from alone in ultimately putting away the feisty Caribbean opponent....

Dockett’s Twitter feed reads like a bizarre stream of consciousness on good days, and on Saturday night he used it to opine about marriage. But his tweet went far off the rails when he drew comparisons between pre-nuptial agreements and O.J. Simpson. (ED NOTE: Explicit language redacted from Tweet) Some have pointed out that Dockett’s tweet reads like an old Chris Rock skit, but the average person may not make that connection....

First introduced in August 2020, Instagram billed the Reels function as an opportunity for people to “participate in cultural trends, collaborate with the community and discover new ideas.” Now, a new report from the team behind the popular Instagram marketing platform Later has laid bare the significant push towards Reels that is being witnessed on the platform. Over 81 million Instagram feed posts (excluding both Reels and IGTV) from January 1, 2019 to February 28, 2022 were analyzed as part of the study....

Actually, he does. So do hundreds of thousands of so-called re-enactors–history buffs who go out and replay centuries’ worth of American combat. They relive not only the patriotic volleys of the Revolution, but also the goriest battles of the Civil War and even the trench warfare of World War I, complete with vintage planes swooping overhead. On a holiday weekend, it can make for darn good free entertainment. That’s how, on the last weekend of December, my husband and I found ourselves with 18,000 other fans at the same Revolutionary War re-enactment as Batten....

For the 27-year-old Brit, his boxing career has been up and down. Since making his debut in 2012, Allen has picked up 17 wins with 14 coming via knockout. But when he’s taken on the heavy hitters in the heavyweight division, Allen’s come up on the short side of the stick in losing efforts vs. Dillian Whyte and Luis Ortiz. Now the ‘White Rhino’ has changed his whole outlook and has been putting in some serious effort to turn his career around with the help of former IBF middleweight world champion Darren Barker....

Chappelle brought Twitter CEO Elon Musk on stage in a surprise appearance during his special Punchline Comedy Club event. Many audience members weren’t pleased to see Musk, who recently purchased the social media platform for $44 billion and is often the subject of criticism. A loud chorus of boos, accompanied by cheers, roared through the crowd when Musk took the stage. Chappelle criticized the people booing and later in the set, went on to refer to some of the audience as members of Antifa, a left-wing anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement....

“Her version of events is not true on our hookup, just not true,” Portnoy said on Thursday. “Neither of us were like, ‘Oh you shouldn’t be doing’—it was 100 million percent consensual. What’s going on in her brain? I have no idea. Her actions? Outwards? All 100 percent normal, wasn’t alarmed, never thought about it.” Portnoy confirmed he did have a sexual encounter with the the woman in question but that she had consented to what happened between them....

“Rendition” raises all the right questions about the government’s use of the War on Terror to trash the Constitution and trample on individual liberties. It’s a story that needs to be told: it’s just unfortunate that director Gavin Hood (“Tsotsi”) and screenwriter Kelley Sane are the ones who tell it. Their outrage is genuine, but their methods—whacking the audience with blunt instruments—are remarkably similar to those of their villains. Dramatically turgid, “Rendition” wastes Witherspoon in a small role as the frantic wife—who, to give an example of Hood’s delicacy, conveniently goes into labor just as the Capitol looms behind her....

“We got to finish in second place,” Blatt said per ESPN.com’s Dave McMenamin. MORE: Irving finds fun again | Mock Draft 2015 | Thibs and Bulls front office beef The Cavs hold a two-game lead over the Raptors for the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference with the Bulls and Wizards not far behind.

It was David Bote. An unheralded prospect, drafted in 2012 out of a small community college in Kansas, Bote was at there before everyone else — working. His career thus far has been built on preparing for and seizing opportunities when they come. When you’re an 18th rounder, that’s the life. MORE: Players who could be traded in August But Sunday night, on national television and in a moment that usually exists only in a child’s back yard make-believe, Bote made sure no future teammates will have trouble recognizing him....
