“I knew I hit it pretty good, but that fence out there is pretty tall,” the Los Angeles born-and-bred slugger said. Although this group of Royals only has two crazy games of playoff history, it’s becoming clear that good things happen to Kansas City in October. The Royals went a few more extra innings, withstood a few more scares and figured out another dramatic way to win a playoff game — thanks to the local boy....
YouTuber Jesús Enrique Rosas, also known as the Body Language Guy, decided to assess Baldwin’s behavior during his interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos. During a livestream on YouTube, Rosas criticized a number of actions and comments from Baldwin during the interview. In October 2021, a prop gun Baldwin, 64, was holding discharged, which resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42. Recently, an FBI investigation concluded that Baldwin pulled the gun’s trigger....
According to the Kansas City Star , general manager Dayton Moore said he is unsure if Gordon will be 100 percent when the Royals begin spring workouts in February. Gordon, 30, told the Royals before Christmas that he was having wrist discomfort during his offseason workouts. That resulted in a Dec. 30 extensor retinaculum, a minor surgery that binds thumb and finger tendons to reduce pain. Although Gordon may miss some time in spring training, the Royals expect him to be ready for opening day....
Hales began with a loopy delivery, which Amla hit on the legside for a single. The rest of the over was no different apart from the fact that absolutely no runs were scored. Everyone felt that for the love of Test cricket, the England captain shouldn’t give the Nottinghamshire cricketer another over. That was when TV personality Piers Morgan, who is known to be an avid fan of cricket, proclaimed that he was a better bowler than Hales....
Jones appeared in a Connecticut courtroom on Thursday for a trial in which plaintiffs are suing him for damages following his claims the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax. A jury will consider how much Jones owes in damages to the families of eight Sandy Hook Elementary school victims. The families said that Jones’ conspiracy theories about the shooting being a fake caused them psychological harm. A clip of Jones’ outburst has gone viral on Twitter and has been viewed more than 560,000 times....
The clip, viewed more than 400,000 times, was shared on Twitter by commentator Ron Filipkowski on Thursday. It’s not clear which episode Jones’s outburst is from, however. Jones is dealing with a defamation trial that will determine how much the InfoWars host must pay Sandy Hook Elementary School parents for falsely telling his audience that the deadliest classroom shooting in U.S. history was a hoax. The InfoWars host has been known for spouting conspiracy theories and his Sandy Hook Elementary School conspiracy resulted in him being sued by the families of the victims for defamation....
After singing and drinking the night away in Las Vegas following their Stanley Cup victory, the Capitals touched down back in Washington, where they haven’t stopped singing, or drinking, or celebrating the first championship in the franchise’s history. The booze-infused tour continued Saturday afternoon, when the Washington Nationals invited the freshly crowned NHL champs to Nationals Park to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. And after getting that distinct honor (and actually getting a mulligan) Ovechkin and co....
Pereira was famously the first - and for a long time only - man to ever defeat Adesanya in combat, taking back-to-back wins in kick-boxing against the former UFC champion. But a lot had happened between drinks for both fighters, and many thought that the trilogy may have been completed in a much different way, especially heading into the fifth and final round, where Adesanya seemingly held a 3-1 lead....
Alexander, a three-time Pro Bowler who helped take the Seahawks to Super Bowl XL during his 2005 NFL MVP season, thinks it’s just fine for “Beast Mode” to stay in silent mode off the field. “When you went to school and there’s a kid who was quiet, you could leave the kid alone, talk about him or try to talk to him,” Alexander told Sporting News. “You look at Marshawn, he just likes to talk to his inner circle, his buddies....
But a First Amendment foundation at Columbia University is advising the freshman New York Democrat to unblock users on her personal account because the act by a public official violates the U.S. Constitution based on a recent court ruling involving Trump. “While there may be reasonable restrictions that don’t go to the specific views that are being expressed on Twitter, at the end of the day, the First Amendment prohibits public officials — like Representative Ocasio-Cortez — from silencing critics because of the views they’re expressing,” Carrie DeCell, a staff attorney for the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, told Newsweek....
A lot of classic literature and movies point the finger at Earth’s inhabitants and highlight humanity as the real monster. The films below either deal with people’s natural prejudices or reflect mankind’s general fear of the unknown. They also span over 70 years of film history, showing that treating humans as the villain of science fiction stories is nothing new. 7 District 9 (2009) Neil Blomkamp’s 2009 film made its mark in a number of ways and also introduced the world to the acting prowess of Sharlto Copley....
The performance of this new GPU promises to be impressive, especially as it should provide high-end gaming performance at a more competitive price than we’ve seen before. The design of the Alienware 17 is essentially unchanged – it’s built like a tank, measuring a full 48.5 mm thick and weighing 4.2 kg. Portability obviously isn’t its strong point. And like all Alienware laptops, it’s bedecked with customizable coloured lights that smoulder from beneath the keyboard, trackpad and various other sections of the matt-black chassis, just to let you know what a bad-ass gaming rig you’ve paid for....
Given that it’s Alinity, a streamer who is regularly at the center of controversy and conspiracy theories, some assumed that this was a behavior that was trained. Without getting too graphic, a conspiracy theory arose that suggested Alinity trained her dog to do what it was doing and called for Alinity’s ban from Twitch. RELATED: Alinity Has Wardrobe Malfunction on Stream It was an absurd theory in its own right, but rather than face continued criticism Alinity wanted to set the record straight....
