During a discussion with ESPN’s Chris McKendry, McEnroe called the ordeal over Djokovic’s vaccine status ahead of the Australian Open “total and utter chaos.” He described it as an “absolute joke.” “It’s sad the way it ended,” McEnroe said. “I actually texted Novak during this, it’s total BS.” Djokovic, the top tennis player in the world, was deported from Australia Sunday after losing his court appeal to stay in the country while unvaccinated against COVID-19....

The stand-up comedian, 38, is reported to have checked into a facility in Pennsylvania, as first reported by PageSix.

Scott, shortly after scoring his first goal of two in the new 3-on-3 tourney format, dunked on Jeremy Roenick pretty hard. Roenick had led part of the charge against Scott, a borderline NHL player who won the fan vote as a joke, from participating. It was terrific.

But apparently he cannot place a long-range ping pong serve anywhere near his target. He’s comically bad at it. His daughter, Carly Smoltz, exposed him on Twitter on Sunday with a 41 second video of him hitting just about everything but her side of the table. He struck furniture and he struck wall. When he finally struck her end of the table, she slammed the ball right by him....

Those who have been waiting desperately to write off Pep Guardiola as a failure have barely been able to contain their glee that City were so easily cut through by those brave lads who represent the Champions of England. The performance was bad, yes. The defence was a mess, yes. Guardiola has either overestimated his defenders’ ability or his own ability to make them better. You could even say he has made a mistake on that front....

The pop culture site Pop Crave posted a brief clip of the real Taylor Swift celebrating the win with her friends. The camera then cuts to Travolta on stage, about to hand the award to Jolie, who wordlessly corrects him. The two share a laugh, and Travolta holds on to the award to give it to the actual Taylor Swift. Travolta’s confusion is understandable. Jolie looks so much like Swift, the drag queen — real name Josh Green — portrayed the superstar in the music video for “Snaked” by fellow RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Alaska....

For starters, they’re in the NBA, and the Wizards point guard and Jazz power forward both played at Kentucky under coach John Calipari. Then, there’s . . . well, OK, actually, that’s all they have in common. Still, you’d think the Big Blue Nation bond would be enough for Wall not to embarass the rookie the way he did Thursday night, but you’d be wrong. MORE: The 10 most important trade deadline deals | Trade deadline winners, losers My goodness, Johnathan Hildred Wall Jr....

While speaking to reporters at halftime of the Wizards’ regular-season finale Tuesday against the Celtics, the veteran point guard said his goal is to return next season but acknowledged he’s still waiting on medical clearance. “I have no idea just yet. That’s my goal. … That’s my mindset, where I’m pushing toward,’’ Wall said, per NOLA.com. “But whenever the doctors clear me and get to that point, then I will know....

On Friday, Cueto lost a valued member of his family - his horse - and decided to post a photo on Instagram to honor it. However, his tribute to the horse on Instagram took a grim turn when he actually posted a photo of the late animal’s body. The caption reads, “Te vamos a extrañar,” which translates to “we will miss you.” A photo posted by Johnny Cueto (@johnnycueto47) on Jul 1, 2016 at 11:19am PDT...

Critics were upset by the appearance from Depp, who has faced allegations of abuse from his ex-partner, actress Amber Heard. Depp’s short cameo occurred in the middle of the event, and he donned silk pajamas from Savage and several necklaces, per The Daily Mail. OutKast’s 2001 single, “So Fresh, So Clean,” served as the backdrop for the 59-year-old actor’s catwalk. Many fans who stood by Depp throughout his legal battles were cheering on his Savage X Fenty appearance from the social-media sidelines....

Since it was the last COVID vaccine to be authorized for emergency use in the United States, J&J’s six-month data on the shot’s efficacy has only just appeared this week. The study was released pre-print (which means that it has yet to be peer-reviewed) on September 10. The study looked at vaccine efficacy anywhere from 14 days after vaccination to 152 days after vaccination, finding no meaningful variation over that timespan....

Jurgen Klopp’s high-flying Liverpool will go head-to-head with two-time reigning champions Madrid in Kiev on Saturday , the Anfield side looking to top the European summit for the first time since the ‘Miracle of Istanbul’ in 2005. Liverpool finished fourth in the Premier League this season but have dazzled in Europe – unbeaten until their semi-final second-leg defeat to Roma as they earned a showdown against the Spanish giants, having crushed Manchester City en route to the showpiece....

The team announced his removal via news release: MORE: Jon Gruden’s emails explained In a statement, the Buccaneers said, in part: “While we acknowledge Jon Gruden’s contributions on the field, his actions go against our core values as an organization.” Gruden led the Buccaneers from 2002 through 2008 after leaving the Raiders in a rare coach trade: Oakland received two first-round picks, two second-round picks and $8 million in cash from Tampa Bay in exchange for Gruden, who signed a five-year, $17....

Those emotions were clear in Jon Stewart’s face after JaVale McGee’s 11-foot fadeaway jumper. MORE: No White House, no problem for Warriors The Knicks fan and former host of “The Daily Show” put his hands on his head in complete shock as he sat courtside at Madison Square Garden during New York’s 125-111 loss to the Warriors on Monday night. After the game, McGee made Stewart’s reaction his profile picture on Twitter....

Seeing it, the thought was that Papelbon did not want to talk to reporters, and was displaying that sentiment as crudely as he possibly could. Maybe it’s more: an anti-social approach to the world at large. MORE: Papelbon’s history of histrionics | Matt Williams late to act There is a line between anti-social and sociopath, and Papelbon crossed it on Sunday. It’s one thing to grab your crotch at booing Philadelphia fans, or to unrepentantly throw fastballs at the heads of opponents....

Seidenberg shouldn’t have been suspended for the hit, either — and he won’t be. Ugly as the result was, and mad as it’s made Blackhawks fans, it’s the right call. It was a basic boarding penalty with a bad outcome. Contrary to popular belief, those exist. Seidenberg was battling for the puck and got a fair bit of Toews’ side, too. It wasn’t late or malicious; someone just got hurt....

The injury occurred when Addison took handoff on a reverse and was brought down with an awkward tackle by Utah safety R.J. Hubert. Addison appeared to plant awkwardly on his right knee. He was on the ground for several moments before exiting the field. Addison was treated on the sideline and then reportedly walked around. He eventually left the game and headed toward the Trojans’ locker room. At the time of his injury, Addison had seven receptions for 106 yards and a score, plus two rushes for 27 yards....

About 270 U.S. doctors, scientists, health care professionals and professors wrote to Spotify, which hosts his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, to share their concerns. The letter accuses Rogan of a “concerning history of broadcasting misinformation, particularly regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.” The podcaster has been supported by Peterson, however, with the Canadian psychologist and author tweeting: “Joe Rogan: King of Misinformation. That’s why so many people prefer him to CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS (which never lie or dissimulate) @JoeRogan Leave him alone @Spotify and censors everywhere....

After a 2015 in which he took over the golf world, winning The Masters and U.S. Open with second-place and fourth-place finishes in the PGA and Open championships respectively, Spieth continues to take back the golfing public.
