“Honestly, I don’t like the Thursday games,” said Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ahead of Thursday’s game with the Colts. “It’s short preparation. The body gets short rest. As a lineman, we played 71 plays [against the Browns]. And every one of those 71 plays I touched somebody, trust and believe that. “But, at the end of the day, if that’s what the NFL wants, you have to go out and do it....
In the new series, which is airing on The CW after premiering on DC Universe, Bassinger (who turns 21 on May 25) plays Courtney Whitmore, a teenager who has to move from Los Angeles to a small Nebraska town when her mother remarries. However, when she discovers her new stepdad (played by Luke Wilson) has a superhero past, she embarks on a journey of her own. The character first appeared in Geoff Johns’ Stars and S....
After the gameplay of Starfield was revealed, many gamers began to draw parallels to Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky. Both games shot for the stars and promised a galaxy spanning adventure. No Man’s Sky failed to live up to the hype at launch, but it has since received countless large scale updates that have significantly improved the game. If Bethesda is not careful then Starfield may follow that same path and have to play catch-up with numerous post-launch updates....
This record chase has endured far longer than was expected, as infirmities, a swing finally slowed by age and the unwillingness of many teams to throw Bonds strikes (and his willingness to accept walks rather than swing at bad pitches), stalled the San Francisco Giants slugger’s assault on Hammerin’ Hank’s record. Though the moment has long seemed inevitable, most baseball fans—at least those other than Giant loyalists—did not appear to welcome it....
Actually, both incidents emanated from slightly off the court, in the kingdom of the high-priced courtside seats. In Boston, a season-ticket holder named Stewart Berg, who apparently has been a serial heckler of Celtics all-star forward Antoine Walker all season, found himself with some particularly good ammunition. In the playoff series against New Jersey, Walker had been pathetic, including back-to-back 3-for-15 shooting nights in losing efforts. With a few minutes to go in the game, Walker responded to Berg’s abuse by getting up in his face....
Next to the achievements of Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and a host of prodigious sluggers, this may not seem like much of a feat. But Daubach is only the fifth Red Sox player in history to hit more than 20 home runs in each of his first three major-league seasons. He joins four of the most storied hitters in a century of Boston baseball tradition: Ted Williams, perhaps the greatest of the modern hitters; Tony Conigliaro, the youngest home-run champ in history whose career was cut short by a tragic beaning; Jim Rice, a three-time home-run champion, and Nomar Garciaparra, a two-time batting champion....
That’s what makes your 50th birthday so important. From then on, your employment options narrow. “If you’re 20 years older than your boss, you can assume that your days are numbered,” says Bedda D’Angelo of Fiduciary Solutions in Durham, N.C. You have to be ready if your boss, your knees or your spirit cries “halt.” To retire early—by choice and with enough money to last for life—takes planning that stretches back into your 40s and 30s....

Gun-related deaths in the U.S. are rising, and the authors of a study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine wanted to examine the links between gun ownership and rates of domestic and non-domestic shootings. Statistics from 2017 show 39,773 people were killed by guns, with deaths among men up by 2 percent from 2016. Researchers studied annual data on homicide rates in 50 states between 1990 and 2016, from the U....
Centuries from David Warner and Mitchell Marsh propelled Australia to 330/7 in their 50 overs on a wicket that was offering some assistance to the pacers. On debut, Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the bowlers as he finished his quota of 10 overs with figures of 2/40. In response, a century opening partnership between Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma set the perfect platform for the visitors. But the loss of Dhawan and Virat Kohli in quick succession put the visitors in a spot of bother....

After winning the toss and electing to field first, India got off to the perfect start. The hosts, however, pulled through towards the end and finished on 170/7 on the back of Dilshan Munaweera’s fifty and an unbeaten 40 from Priyanjan. In response, the hosts got rid of both openers early in the run chase. But that only brought Kohli to the crease and he brilliantly marshaled another run chase to help India win by seven wickets with four balls to spare....
Ours is very much the college generation of the Iraq War. Most of us have never been on campus without the war raging halfway around the world. Certainly the conflict in Iraq has sparked heated debate on campus, polarizing student groups and galvanizing activism. Yet for the vast majority of us of us, the war remains largely an abstract concept, confined to the editorial pages of our school papers and dining hall discussion....
GOG Connect was launched in 2016 as a convenient means of adding existing Steam games to GOG’s library. The service would connect the GOG storefront with a user’s Steam account and brings DRM-free versions of titles already owned on Steam over to GOG. While it sounds promising in theory, the reality is that the service was a restrictive option for most gamers. It only offered very few eligible games to be added to GOG and even then these would come with a strict time limit owing to numerous contractual obligations....

Upcoming deals voted for by the community include Dishonored, Borderlands 2 and Far Cry 3, and Steam customers can probably expect to see some publisher deals crop up before the sale finished on July 22nd....
December was also a busy month as the record for concurrent users was broken with 2.5 million gamers simultaneously shooting, stabbing, platforming, running, puzzling, or any other possible action we do so very much in one of the over 1,000 games now available on Steam. If I had to take a guess, however, I would bet that number was in no small part due to Modern Warfare 2. Valve’s Gabe Newell had this to say:...
Ross Township detective Brian Kohlhepp said traffic officer Sean Stafiej pulled over a Camaro operated byBell around 1:30 p.m. after Stafiej, who was on a motorcycle, noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle.

The Chargers released the wideout and return specialist Tuesday in the middle of his first season with the team. MORE: Top 10 Steelers of all time | DeCourcy: Steelers can win without Bell During his time with the Ravens, Jones was involved in an infamous sideline incident in 2013 with Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, who had drifted onto the field during what likely would have been a long kickoff return for a touchdown by Jones....
Furthermore, the league said, the Steelers are subject to "a modification or forfeiture of draft choices ... after the final order of the 2014 draft has been determined.'' The last time the NFL took picks away from a team was when the New Orleans Saints lost second-round picks in 2012 and '13 because of the Bounty-gate ruling. On Jacoby Jones' third-quarter kickoff return, the NFL said, Tomlin was in the restricted white area beyond the sideline and "stepped foot onto the playing field during the play," in violation of NFL rule 13, section 1, article 4....
