Washington, because of its market size, long history and national fan base, still has one of the league’s most profitable and popular teams, but beyond the revenue generated during the league’s modern boom, Washington has lost its relevance as a winning and well-run franchise. That’s tied to Snyder making moves that have alienated many executives, coaches, players and fans over the years. MORE: Why Washington’s new name, logo might take a while...

Yes, Mr. Vader had to throw out the first pitch. The force was at play. Unfortunately for Darth, though, that force was gravity and it did him no favors. [via For The Win]

Even if it wasn’t technically a date (i. e. a party, a chance meeting at a bar, a work event, etc. ), if a guy wants to see you again, he’ll get in touch with you soon afterward. Make sure he has your contact info so he can get in touch! He might say, “I had a blast with you the other night” or “That was really fun! I had a great time with you....

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts approached Baez and told him his night was done. But then the Dodgers took the lead back, and Roberts reversed that decision and chose to stick with Baez. An inning after allowing a go-ahead home run to lefty Brandon Lowe, Baez allowed a game-tying home run to Kevin Kiermaier in the seventh before getting a double play to escape with the game still tied. The Dodgers went on to lose by a single run, 8-7, in the ninth....

On Thursday afternoon, Maple Leafs winger David Clarkson served Blizzards and whatnot at a Toronto Dairy Queen. A portion of the money went to the Children's Miracle Network. Most delightfully, mayor Rob Ford was there. There are a couple different varieties of ice cream-related jokes you could make about that. As has been the case—and will be for the next seven years—Clarkson's $36.75 million contract wound up a topic of conversation....

Police identified the suspect as 42-year-old David Depape and said officers found the man at Pelosi’s home assaulting Pelosi with a hammer. “The suspect pulled the hammer away from Mr. Pelosi and violently assaulted him with it….Our officers immediately tackled the suspect, disarmed him, took him into custody, requested emergency backup and rendered medical aid,” San Francisco Police Chief William Scott told the media Friday. Paul Pelosi is the husband of Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi....

Age is just a number for David Ortiz. The Red Sox designated hitter continues to soar in his final MLB season. Wednesday against the Rays, Ortiz blasted his 30th home run of the season in the first inning. The two-run shot gave Big Papi 30 for the season along with 100 RBIs. At 40 years, 9 months and 6 days old, Ortiz is now the oldest player in major league history to hit 30 long balls in a season and the oldest player with at least 100 RBIs in a season since Dave Winfield in 1992....

The 6-2, 210-pound Saddler entered this season with 1,670 points, behind only Creighton's Doug McDermott among all currently active Division I players. Saddler needs 361 points to set the Blue Hens' school record, and this suspension will make his job tougher. Delaware finished tied for second in the CAA last season and lost in the conference tournament semifinals.

One thing that may not have been common knowledge was just how close DeRozan came to wearing a purple and gold jersey. In an interview with Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes, the four-time All-Star revealed that he believed he was heading to LA as part of what would have been a sign-and-trade agreement between the Lakers and Spurs.

This article describes the symptoms, diagnosis, causes, treatment, and prevention of dementia. Dementia Symptoms The symptoms of dementia can be subtle at first. Over time, the effects can advance to such a degree that many people who have dementia may not be able to independently take care of themselves. Early Signs Early signs of dementia can include cognitive symptoms, mood changes, behavioral changes, and personality changes....

That’s a big deal, civil rights attorney and pain patient advocate Kate Nicholson said. They had spent less than three minutes on the topic in all past debates combined. “It matters because we do have a crisis,” Nicholson told Newsweek. “Because the consequences are so dire of our failure to address it adequately. People are not able to function. People are dying. These are serious consequences,” she continued. Despite the progress, she said, the candidates have a long way to go....

The House Oversight Committee sent a letter Wednesday to Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta requesting his presence at a July 23 hearing to answer lawmakers’ questions. The request appeared to contradict the stance of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who has publicly poured cold water on the prospect of hauling in the Trump official before Congress. “The hearing will examine your actions as United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida in authorizing a non-prosecution agreement for Jeffrey Epstein, as well as the finding by a federal court that you violated the Crime Victims’ Rights Act by keeping this non-prosecution agreement secret from the victims of Mr....

A press release by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi showed a very different approach to marking the attack than Trump, whose supporters—stoked by claims that the 2020 election was stolen—stormed the U.S. Capitol 12 months ago. The House will not be in session in the first week of January, but Pelosi has said there would be a “full program of events” on January 6, 2022 to commemorate the day. These would include a discussion among historians about what happened, the chance for lawmakers to share their reflections that day and a prayerful vigil in the evening....

After the two had been battling for position, with Johnson ahead, Hamlin moved to the inside but could not complete the pass. The two were racing cleanly for several laps until Hamlin finally bumped Johnson, whose car went high and then made contact with Hamlin as he came back to the inside. Hamlin then made contact with Brad Keselowski as his car wobbled. MORE: Comments fly as Truex lets JGR cars lead...

On Monday, Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, ruled that the federal mask mandate on airplanes, trains and buses, was unlawful. In a statement following her decision to end the sweeping mandate, the DOJ disagreed with Mizelle, saying the CDC’s federal mask order was “a valid exercise of the authority” granted by Congress. “The Department of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention disagree with the district court’s decision and will appeal, subject to CDC’s conclusion that the order remains necessary for public health,” the DOJ said....

While there is no definitive test for depression, your practitioner will use the diagnostic criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) to assess your symptoms. They will also rule out other mental and physical conditions that could be causing your symptoms.
