Almost halfway through the first season of his 10-year, $100-million deal, the Raiders are 1-5. Their only win came against last year’s winless NFL team, the Browns, aided by a controversial call in Oakland’s favor. They arrived late in London to play the Seahawks on Sunday; one could argue they failed to show up at any point in a lifeless, 27-3 loss that would have been a shutout had Gruden not called upon his team to kick a meaningless field goal in the fourth quarter....

Jones was ordered to perform 40 hours of community service in the Las Vegas area and Cormier was ordered to perform 20 hours for his role in his hometown of San Jose, California. The fines reflect 10 percent of their purse for when they fight at UFC 182 on Jan. 3, 2015.

That’s crummy news for the Lightning, who were planning to start the 19-year-old on Steven Stamkos’ wing, and Drouin, the No. 3 pick in 2013 and former destroyer of the QMJHL. He was (and remains, in all likelihood) a Calder Trophy favorite. It’s also bad news for everyone else, since means we’ll have to wait until, probably, late October to see him to try to pull this stuff off in the NHL....

video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player Bouchard, a pianist who's already played Carnegie Hall, is also a huge hockey fan. So, when he appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," they brought out his favorite player: Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick. Pretty cool. The problem for Bouchard (and this is not a real problem) is that he's from Montreal. The Canadiens have a pretty good goalie, too. No love for Carey Price?...

No, the feeling shared by many outside the New England area is one of confused befuddlement at the latest example of MLS apparently making up rules on the fly, and changing seemingly established regulations on a whim. For those scoring at home, Jones was allocated to the Revolution after a blind draw was held, and what amounted to a coin flip ultimately determined where a U.S. World Cup hero would play....

The New Zealand international is enjoying another good season in front of goal - having scored 14 goals in all competitions for Matsatsantsa. His goalscoring exploits have reportedly attracted interest from Pirates according to The Citizen source. It is believed that Bucs coach Kjell Jonevret has identified Brockie as a possible target ahead of the 2017/18 campaign. “He wants Brockie to play just behind (Thamsanqa) Gabuza and pick up any loose balls and put them away," the source said....

When asked about the statement, the 31-year-old Texas native tweeted that he was uncomfortable with the design, but felt his “hands were tied” when he was told that WWE Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and Creative Paul “Triple H” Levesque approved of the design. However, Myles said that he was lied to by WWE digital designer and Creative Services Talent Coordinator Baker Landon. The 2019 NXT Breakout star even posted a screenshot of the email sent to him by Landon, who wrote that Triple H liked the T-shirt design....

The course is Chambers Bay. The teacher-turned caddie is Michael Greller, who caddied at Chambers Bay until 2011, sometimes two round a day. Over a thousands of rounds, for golfers of all skill levels, resulted in Greller learning every inch of every hole of Chambers Bay. This kind of knowledge cannot be obtained in a few days before a U.S. Open by a couple of practice rounds. Nor is is it found in a yardage book....

Pep Guardiola has identified the Italy international midfielder as a top target for the summer window, with Goal having revealed back in April that a big-money approach was being readied. A €50m (£44m/$59m) offer has since been tabled, but that was swiftly knocked back by Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis. He is refusing to relax his stance when it comes to the possible sale of a prized asset, with it now unclear whether the 26-year-old will get a dream move or if City will shift their focus elsewhere....

The team placed its slugging first baseman on the 15-day disabled list with posterior tibia tendinitis in his left ankle on Sunday, the Chicago Tribune reports. Abreu has been battling the sore ankle since spring training. Sox manager Robin Ventura, who had been playing the rookie at designated hitter recently to rest to ankle, pulled him from Saturday's game for a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning because he looked awkward running earlier in the game....

Fernandez, the 2013 National League Rookie of the Year, is 4-2 with a 2.44 ERA and a league-leading 70 strikeouts in eight starts this year.

In a week that sees United prepare to take on Shaw’s former club Southampton in Sunday’s EFL Cup final, it was expected that the European clash was his best chance yet to be given a run-out, having collected only one appearance in the last three months amidst doubts over his form and fitness. But his latest exclusion means there is simply no prospect of the left-back being in the squad for the Wembley fixture and seemingly little opportunity for him to play a significant role in the weeks to come....

Young, who played for Oregon as a junior last season after transferring from Houston, made his announcement via Twitter on Tuesday. NBA DRAFT: Who’s in, who’s out The 6-foot-2 Young was the leading scorer this past season for the Ducks, who advanced to the NCAA tournament for the second straight year. He averaged 18.9 points per game and scored in double figures in 30 of 34 games. Young also shot 41....

Here’s how these two, as well as the rest of the injuries across the NFL could impact the upcoming games this week. Josh Allen, QB, Buffalo Bills Bills quarterback Josh Allen was replaced by Matt Barkley after suffering a late-game helmet to helmet hit from New England Patriots cornerback Jonathan Jones. While attempting to rush for the first down, Allen was tied up by Patriots safety, Duron Harmon, when Jones rushed in and hit Allen in the head....

Or abuse them like Giants kicker Josh Brown did. Or offer them to your friends for a consensual (according to a jury) gang-bang like Knicks guard Derrick Rose did. Or offer them up as impermissible benefits to high school kids in hopes of enticing them to play basketball for you like Louisville did. Or call them too ugly to assault, too fat to respect. Or simply snicker when a man says this to them or about them or turn a blind eye to what happened to them or have your lawyer call them a whore looking for a lotto ticket like Rose’s lawyers, like Trump, like Louisville coach Rick Pitino, like the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell, like New York Giants owner John Mara, like Rose, like Brown did....

The documents also ask for the suppression of certain evidence in Duggar’s case, including all statements he gave to investigators, whom the attorneys claim didn’t allow him to have a lawyer present when he was questioned. The motions say that investigators took away Duggar’s cellphone before he could call his lawyer to attend the questioning. The two U.S. Department of Homeland Security acting secretaries also weren’t properly appointed to the case, the documents say....

Primo was selected 12th overall by the Spurs in the 2021 NBA Draft but just four games into his sophomore season, San Antonio elected to cut ties with its lottery pick. The news caught even some of the biggest names in NBA media by surprise, leaving everyone wondering why the Spurs would waive a young, developing player. It was later reported by ESPN that Primo’s release “stemmed from multiple alleged instances of Primo exposing himself to women,” and more details were revealed in the ensuing days....

The 28-year-old Joshua is looking to collect another belt, this time the WBO strap, versus another top-10 opponent in Parker. A victory will have earned Joshua his third belt in just under a year, winning the IBO and WBA titles in his win over Wladimir Klitschko in April 2017. Joshua is facing no slouch in Parker: The 26-year-old is unbeaten in 24 fights, though he last knocked out an opponent in 2016, dispatching the noteably chinny veteran Alexander Dimitrenko....

The author of Blonde, the book that the recent controversial Marilyn Monroe Netflix movie was based, tweeted out her statement late on Wednesday night and followed it up by suggesting there was a political angle to her words, too. With no prior context, 84-year-old Oates tweeted, “Category of straight white males is the only category remaining for villains & awful people in fiction & film & popular culture.” She added in quotation marks as if to quote straight white men, “Bet you’ll miss us when we’re gone....
