The Steelers’ veteran linebacker had said he would like to return for the 2016 season, when he’ll be 38, but acknowledged it wasn’t necessarily a guarantee. MORE: NFL player contracts that have teams in major salary-cap bind “It’s a little tougher for me because I’m in a situation where I’m a little uncertain about what I’m going to do,” Harrison said Sunday, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, following the Steelers’ 23-16 loss to the Broncos in an AFC divisional game....

Despite starting this season 2-6, seemingly destined for their first losing season under Mike Tomlin, the Steelers are now 8-8 and staring down a realistic chance at a playoff berth. The recent play of Kenny Pickett has Pittsburgh fans excited about the future, but the prospect of gaining some playoff experience for the rookie is the priority right now. MORE: Updated NFL playoff picture for Week 18 The Steelers can land a wild-card spot in the AFC, but it’s going to require some help....

The pilot episode for the show, for example, was released on Monday, May 18 on the service.

That’s the word according to the celebrity website HollywoodLife.com. Amell, 34, is the star of the CW television series “Arrow,” on which he plays a DC Comics character, the archer/vigilante known as Green Arrow. Amell appeared ringside during a recent edition of “Raw” in which Stardust took notice and got in Amell’s face. Then in a backstage segment, Stardust called out the actor.

And with so much content released throughout the decades, newcomers to the series might be left unsure exactly where to begin. Just how good were some of these series? Not all Stargate projects were created equally, that’s for sure. There are some definite standouts that made their mark on sci-fi TV history, whereas others are best forgotten. Get ready to find out exactly which Stargate movies and TV shows are actually worth watching....

That’s the challenge facing De La Hoya—now 34 and with only one fight since he was KOed, for the first time in his career, by Bernard Hopkins back in 2004—when he steps into the ring Saturday night in Las Vegas to challenge Floyd Mayweather Jr. for the WBC super welterweight title. Mayweather is 30 years old, undefeated in 37 career fights and has himself held four titles. But even more notable, among boxing insiders, he now reigns as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, and is regarded as such a dazzling talent that he would rate consideration for that unofficial, but prestigious title in any era....

But this Sunday night, the opening weekend of the NFL playoffs, should be an exception. Because none of the football games figures to be as intriguing as the encounter on CBS’s “60 Minutes” between two aging lions, Roger Clemens and Mike Wallace, each of whom once boasted the best fastball in his respective field. We will tune in to hear Rocket Roger’s explanation of how he defied pitching mortality, excelling in a kid’s game well into his 40s without the use of performance-enhancing drugs....

So perhaps nobody should have been surprised—certainly not after some of the rare confessors, like Jose Canseco and the late Ken Caminiti, described steroid use in baseball as epidemic—by anything former senator George Mitchell revealed today as a result of his investigation into drug use in the game. Still, there had to be gasps throughout the nation as the greatest pitcher of the modern era, Roger Clemens, was fingered as a drug cheat right alongside Bonds....

The cloning of Belichick: The famously controlling coach Bill Belichick—just try getting an honest injury report out of him; the league certainly hasn’t been able to—has led his New England Patriots to three Super Bowl wins in the past five years. Imitation being the sincerest form of NFL coaching, other NFL teams are trying to get in on the Patriots’ tight-lipped act—several teams, including division rivals New York and Miami, are now led by former Belichick aides....

Still, though their hitters have been important, both teams provide further evidence, as if any were needed, that pitching is the pathway to championships. Both teams, although the Rockies for a far shorter duration, have been perennial also-rans for most of their history, playing in ballparks that were hitters’ paradises and pitchers’ nightmares. Boston’s Fenway Park, with its short perch in left and its vast open space in right, favored fly-ball hitting righties (Tony Conigliaro, Rico Petrocelli) and lefties who could spray the ball to all fields (Freddy Lynn, Wade Boggs, Mike Greenwell, Mo Vaughn)....

Not to mention a Crimson Tide that isn’t quite as dangerous as some of the toxic tides that have washed into Boston Harbor through the years. The FleetCenter may be ready for March Madness. But outside, on the streets of Boston–one of the nation’s most liberal cities, a center of antiwar protest and the site of next year’s Democratic Convention–the very term March Madness is rife with double meaning....

It now occurs to me that I may have been deluding myself. This past Sunday, Boston’s beloved Red Sox were in Yankee Stadium for what loomed as their biggest game of the year, poised to sweep the hated Bronx Bombers and move within a half game of first place. And at the very same hour the New England Patriots were suiting up to open their season on the road against Buffalo, a longtime division rival, but hardly one to inspire the kind of visceral antipathy stirred up by the Yankees....

The high-scoring forward has nearly 80 million ways to prove he pulled it off. The Stars avoided any lingering questions about the future of Seguin by signing the five-time All-Star center to a $78.8 million, eight-year contract extension that goes through the 2026-27 season. General manager Jim Nill announced the deal Thursday before the Stars flew to Boise, Idaho, for training camp. The team posted a Mario-inspired video on its Twitter account celebrating the news....

Those systems need to be able to detect obstacles in any weather condition. During rain, snow, lightning flashes, fog or any other type of inclement weather, the car will have to be able to determine if it’s about to hit something and react in the space of seconds. At Teledyne FLIR, a company that develops a wide range of sensors for multiple applications, engineers have been developing thermal imaging technology that compliments LiDAR, radar and other detection systems being implemented in vehicles....

Delaney, a philosophy professor who lives most of the year in Sweden, is a pioneer in the tiny, controversial calorie-restriction movement, which aims to prolong human life by cutting back on food to the point of bare subsistence. The movement makes claims that go far beyond the commonplace observation that it’s unhealthful to be fat. Instead, a handful of zealots assert that extreme deprivation creates biochemical changes that slow the aging process....

Today, Raptors forward OG Anunoby takes the spotlight. 1 According to Stathead, that’s how many players in all of NBA history have averaged 3.0 steals per game for an entire season while also shooting at least 40 percent from 3. Hall of Famer John Stockton did it for the Jazz in 1991-92 in an era with far more steals and far fewer 3s. Through 10 games, that’s exactly what Anunoby is doing for the Raptors while obviously playing a far different role than Stockton did for the Jazz....

Titled “Being a Christian Leader” and promoted in his official government capacity on the homepage for the State Department, religious and civil liberties organizations have decried it as a potential violation of the U.S. Constitution’s intended separation of church and state. “I keep a Bible open on my desk, and I try every morning to try and get in a little bit of time with the Book,” Pompeo said, describing how the texts sacred to Christians influences his disposition, engagement with others and decisions....

But it's not what you think. This one is about the Kansas Jayhawks, not Wichita State. And it's not about their run of 10 consecutive Big 12 championships, although that is a factor. This is about the possibility KU will earn a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament with a record that could make the team unique in the modern "expanded bracket" era. Since the NCAA expanded the field to 64 teams in 1985, there have been 116 No....

Rajasthan Royals has noted the media coverage on the issue of Mr. Raj Kundra, one of our shareholders. In the last few days, various members of the RR management have been assisting the Delhi Police in their investigation for a better appreciation and understanding of the matter. As we have stated before, we are cooperating with the authorities to ensure a thorough inquiry and will continue to share any such information that they may seek from us in the future....

Are you thinking the same thing as me though? WHERE ON EARTH IS MESSI? Okay here’s the thing. Every person who watches football is biased. Each and every one of them. Even Gary Neville, the Premier League legend who delivers some deep and insightful punditry on Monday Night Football, and even me, a teenager who wastes his time on this alluring sport. Simply put, I love Lionel Messi. As a Chelsea fan, I rejoiced when his penalty struck the crossbar in 2012, but weirdly enough I am ashamed to admit that fact now....
