After one season cut short in 2020 and one canceled season in 2021 due to COVID-19, the NLL came back in 2022 and the finals are here. The series is tied 1-1 between the Buffalo Bandits and the Colorado Mammoth, leaving just one winner-take-all contest left to determine who is hoisting the Champion’s Cup.

A concept artist’s work on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings seemingly showed Ryan Reynolds’ character in a familiar scene from the movie, which many thought was proof that Deadpool was supposed to appear. However, the creator of the artwork, Andrew Kim, confirmed to Newsweek that this isn’t the case. “Sorry to disappoint but there was no involvement of Deadpool or Proxima in the early going,” Kim told Newsweek....
For sure, stakeholders make decisions that can have multiple intended and unintended consequences and invite many different interpretations. If we consider the facts in the market, however, it may be easier to understand this OPEC+ decision as more a tactical move than a strategic advance. Moreover, it does not preclude new decisions that reverse this one in the months ahead. Even though the communique indicates the agreement will extend though the end of 2023, it provides for ad hoc changes along the way....
When Rose Troche and her girlfriend Guinevere Turner sat down to brainstorm the lesbian movie they’d like to make, they never considered it might have mainstream appeal. But they knew what they didn’t want it to be. It would not be another agonized tract about coming out or, in director Troche’s words, a movie in which women ““only have sex under excruciating circumstances.’’ It would not be about upper-middle-class lesbians with spike heels (not to mention murder in their hearts, a la ““Basic Instinct’’)....
The Pharaohs’ hopes of having Salah in the team received a huge boost when the attacker joined the team’s training session on Wednesday at their Grozny base in Russia ahead of the start of the 2018 Fifa World Cup tournament. The speedy forward, who is on the books of English side Liverpool FC, has been sidelined since suffering the shoulder injury against Real Madrid in Kyiv on May 26. Salah played an instrumental role in helping Egypt qualify for this year’s World Cup finals - scoring a stoppage-time penalty to give his country a dramatic 2-1 win over Congo-Brazzaville in Alexandria last October....
"I was just trying to get something up in the zone and see pitches, like I always do," Napoli said. "And I was able to get some up." A pitch that bounces three feet in front of home plate with a runner on third base is a mistake, asking for that runner to come in to score. That is also what Napoli did. "We were talking earlier about (how) 90 feet can win you a ballgame," Napoli said....
Madrid were paired with Bayern Munich in Friday’s draw in Nyon, while Barca are to face Juventus in the quarter-finals of Europe’s premier club competition, meaning the four biggest clubs left in the competition will play one another in the last eight. Barca draw Juve; Real to face Bayern It should be exciting and also intriguing. Madrid and Bayern have plenty of history in Europe, with five wins apiece in their 10 ties....
The Serie A giants undertook the latest stage of their rebuilding process with the financial backing of the Suning Holdings Group, which acquired a majority stake in Inter last June, during the current transfer window. Premier League champions Chelsea and Inter were both linked with a move for the 30-year-old but Rummenigge insists such talk was wide of the mark in terms of formal offers. “Nobody asked us for him and there was never an official offer for him, not even this summer when the market was open,” he told Mediaset....
But why? MORE: Panthers’ roster vs. Broncos’ roster | Write your own angry letter Despite being in the spotlight for much of the season, Newton has barely discussed the criticism levied against him by fans and media alike. At the Panthers’ media availability Wednesday, a few days before the team travels across the country for Super Bowl 50, Newton answered that question. But like the situation itself, he was hesitant to open up....
In fact, it was the first time in six years an entire calendar month went by in which an NFL player was not placed into custody, Mike Rosenberg of the San Jose Mercury News reported. MORE: NFL players arrested in 2015 | Arrests by team It’s also the first time in 15 years that the NFL went without an arrest for an entire month during the season, Rosenberg added.

““Are you excited to be here in Italy?’’ I asked as we headed for the snack bar on base. This was her first air force assignment, and, as her sponsor, I had to make sure she ate before I dropped her off at the dormitory. ““Yeah,’’ she said, bouncin g a little in her seat like the teenager she was. ““You didn’t answer my question. Where are you from?''...
Can Spurs break their hoodoo? Chelsea are best in a 3-4-3 formation. It is a system that the main 14 players at the club have truly mastered but their limited use of other systems, such as 3-5-2, hasn’t really been successful. Jose Mourinho expertly employed Ander Herrera to do a man-marking job to slience the in-form Eden Hazard last week as Manchester United ran out decisive 2-0 winners over Chelsea....
Roberts shines brightest but Sane has bigger chance of Man City future Aguero was sent off for a high and late challenge on Chelsea defender David Luiz during Saturday’s 3-1 Premier League defeat to leaders Chelsea. Having already served a three-match ban earlier in the season, the Argentina international was dealt a more severe punishment this time around. Aguero’s absence could see Iheanacho asked to lead the line in matches against Leicester City, Watford, Arsenal and Hull City....
Last year the owners of the rundown graveyard defaulted on a $2.7 million loan. A bank became the unhappy proprietor; now it can hardly give the place away. An auction last month failed to attract even the minimum bid of $500,000. Says a bank trustee: “If someone doesn’t come forward, we’ll have no choice but to shut the cemetery down.” A hearing in bankruptcy court next week could finalize the bank’s request to abandon the burial ground....
So says NBA commissioner Adam Silver, who denied the Kings’ protest of Courtney Lee’s game-winning shot. Here’s Silver’s explanation as provided by the league: Both teams had road games Friday, on which there were a dozen NBA games. The Kings were at San Antonio and the Grizzlies visited Portland. Catch up with the scores and results on SN’s NBA scoreboard. “The Commissioner determined that the game officials’ call that Lee’s shot was timely was within their judgment and not a misapplication of the playing rules....
The truth: most European corporations still want little part of Anglo-American “liberalization,” or the dog-eat-dog corporate culture that goes with it. Despite fashionable talk of the American model, embracing everything from the English language to the greed incentive embodied in stock options, most corporations on the continent are still happy to operate within the stable cocoon created by European regulation. They can do without the life-and-death merger battles that color the corporate scene in Britain or America....
What’s that, you say? The Mets right-hander is only a rookie, who just turned 23 in August. He’s never been to the World Series before. Not as a player, true, but as a fan, Syndergaard has seen history made. The Texas native told the New York Post that he was in Arlington the night the Giants beat the Rangers to win the 2010 World Series.

In his interview with AFP, Mayor shot down any notion of humans beginning to inhabit these planets, mainly due to the distance: “These planets are much, much too far away. Even in the very optimistic case of a livable planet that is not too far, say a few dozen light years, which is not a lot, it’s in the neighborhood, the time to go there is considerable.” He went onto say that he would like to “kill all the statements that say ‘OK, we will go to a livable planet if one day life is not possible on Earth....
Snow Lilly’s death was announced on Saturday, in a Milwaukee County Zoo Facebook post. Support flooded in on social media: a video accompanying the announcement has been viewed 91,000 times at the time of writing. According to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, polar bears in human care typically live for 23.4 years—a number which Snow Lilly exceeded by about 13 years. In the wild, polar bear lifespans are often even shorter....
