For the second time in less than 30 days, the Lightning forward beat Holtby with his trademark “no move” move, but this time he did it in a game that counted. NHL Finishers Series: The deceptions of Nikita Kucherov​ The rivalry between the two began during the 2018 NHL All-Star Game in Tampa, when Kucherov completed his hat trick in the Atlantic Division’s win over the Metropolitan by faking a move and letting momentum carry the puck in between Holtby’s pads....

Then he changed everything with a hellish upkick that connected flush on James Vick’s chin and knocked him out on his feet. Vick fell in a heap onto Price’s midsection and “The Hybrid” cemented the stunning first-round KO with some punches of his own, as he more than lived up to his nickname once again.

Two fans dressed as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ran onto the pitch after Edinson Cavani fired PSG into a 3-1 lead at Roazhon Park. Dani Alves joined in with the pair by motioning to pull a sword from his back, before Kylian Mbappe was hugged by one of the costumed intruders. The bizarre episode is thought to relate to the ‘Donatello’ nickname that has been given to Mbappe by his team-mates, after the Ninja Turtle of the same name....

Every time the publisher hosts a press conference or a video stream, the live chat is guaranteed to be flooded with comments demanding news about the game, often with walls of text that just say “BOTW2” over and over again. The exasperation is understandable, as Nintendo continually teases updates about Breath of the Wild’s long-gestating sequel, only to deliver the vaguest bulletins imaginable. For example, during their most recent “Direct” presentation in February (which even coincided with Zelda’s 35th anniversary), the company repeatedly instructed viewers to stick around for news on Breath of the Wild 2....

The next Nintendo online presentation was announced Wednesday as the year’s second Nintendo Direct Mini Partner Showcase. Not many details were given for this presentation, but the official press release states that this Direct will feature “information about upcoming Nintendo Switch titles exclusively from Nintendo’s publishing partners.” With the holiday season coming closer, this upcoming Nintendo Direct will show what is coming soon to the Switch in 2020 and beyond....

Neither Acheson in his sardonic solicitude for the man who now had the burdens of office, nor Humphrey in his generosity of spirit, was saying that what had gone before was swell. They were following some inner political protocol that required of them respect for the office of the presidency, no matter who held it or how it was conducted, and-yes-some kind of fraternal empathy for anyone who faced not just the glories but the horrors and the risks of being president....

“We’re joined by someone affected by this troubling bias very, very much,” President Donald Trump told the crowd on July 11. “Lila Rose.” Lila Rose is founder and president of the anti-abortion group Live Action, which boasts of having the “largest and most engaged online following in the pro-life movement.” Rose herself wields a sizable social media presence, with more than 200,000 Twitter followers of her own. Taking the podium, Rose echoed Trump’s remarks, complaining of a “double standard and bias” in how tech companies and social media platforms treat conservative content....

The rapper, 57, is still alive, despite legions of fans sharing their condolences on social media in response to the false rumors. A number of high-profile celebrities also mistakenly tweeted about his death, with Pharrell Williams and Talib Kweli deleting tweets after Biz’s representatives confirmed the rumors were false. “The news of Biz Markie’s passing is not true,” the rapper’s representative confirmed in a statement to Rolling Stone. “Biz is still under medical care, surrounded by professionals who are working hard to provide the best healthcare possible....

The reason for the trending topic? This poster, which was being circulated everywhere, even by NBA players. As it turns out, the whole thing is a semi-well done Photoshop job. The image of Sanaa Lathan comes from this site. The image of Omar Epps comes from a “House” publicity photo. The image at the bottom is a screen grab from the first film. (The case was thoroughly deconstructed here. NSFW language warning....

Scrapping away goals as a tiebreaker in the knockout rounds, a rule that had been in place since 1965, was decided this past summer and came into effect for the 2021-22 season. Moving forward, in competitions like the UEFA Champions League and Europa League, if teams are tied on aggregate goals after two legs, they go to extra time and, if necessary, a penalty-kick shootout. The stakes will definitely be high in the current knockout stages, but we’ve already witnessed the new rule in action in the qualifying rounds in July and August....

One: Not many former drivers who have won three or more Cup championships were sitting around waiting to analyze races on TV. Two: There were no retired drivers who impacted NASCAR as vocally as Waltrip did as a driver for three decades. Three: Nobody could provide the brand of entertainment Waltrip delivered for 19 years as a broadcaster. “When you put all that together, it’s a pretty impossible task,” Mike Joy told Sporting News during a phone conversation when asked about Fox’s discussions about how to replace the 73-year-old Waltrip, calling it a “cooperative” process....

At AT&T, the answer would appear to be no. Every time you think things can’t get worse for poor AT&T and its long-suffering stockholders and employees, the company manages to pull off yet another bonehead play. Last week’s was one for the highlight films: the departure of president John Walter, whom AT&T hired a mere nine months ago to be its chief-executive-in-waiting. Walter, 50, used the escape clause in his contract when AT&T’s board of directors told him he wouldn’t become chief executive officer next January, as originally contemplated....

Hidden in the shadows of the Stephen Curry and Draymond Green spotlight, Wiggins has been able to contribute for the Warriors without much of the criticism that came his way in Minnesota. It’s almost the perfect scenario for the 26-year-old. Just because Wiggins is flying under the radar doesn’t mean he hasn’t become an integral part of the Warriors’ winning formula.

Hillary Clinton loves to repeat that she’d be “ready on Day One”–to repair the economy, to lead the military, to reinstall her favorite credenza in the White House master bedroom. Good thing Day One is still 270 days away. Just ask the Kiwis. On the eve of Pennsylvania’s primary, my NEWSWEEK colleague Karen Breslau boldly–or foolishly–prodded the former First Lady for a favorite joke. Clinton’s response? “Here’s a good one,” she said....

Neither were there further problems for Martin Truex Jr., whose Sunday at Talladega began with a parts confiscation and ended with the destroyed engine. Elimination from the Chase for the Sprint Cup is sufficient. MORE: Harvick takes swipe at Busch | Fable of Gibbs stragglers | Limits set on Buschwhackers That doesn’t mean there wasn’t the expected Wednesday list of penalties from Talladega. There was, and initial reports indicated there was nothing major nor anything involving drivers preparing for the Chase’s Round of 8....

He’s loving it. “Welcome to my palace,” Chow says, hands together in modest Thai style. He is on the set of “Anna and the King” in Malaysia, wearing baggy shorts, sandals, a baseball cap (backward) and a big grin. “I am the king,” he cracks, before disappearing into a makeup trailer, re-emerging minutes later as Mongkut, King of Siam, in a sparkling, gold-threaded kimono-style jacket, silk culottes and a crisp white shirt....

Neuer missed Bayern’s 6-0 win over Augsburg at the weekend due to a foot injury, while Muller suffered an ankle problem in that game. Ancelotti looking forward to Zidane clash The duo will miss Tuesday’s trip to Hoffenheim and could also be forced to watch Saturday’s showdown with Borussia Dortmund from the stands, but Ancelotti has little doubt they will be available for the game against Madrid. “Manuel starts training individually again on Monday,” Ancelotti said at a news conference....

The club remain committed to bringing in a right-sided attacker but it is understood they have yet to submit an official bid to the Bundesliga side for Sancho. Discussions to get the winger to Old Trafford have been continuing all summer, with the two clubs far apart on their valuation of the player. United made progress in their negotiations earlier in the month with wages and agent fees but Dortmund’s asking price has been, and still remains, a sticking point....

Airspace rights are crucial. One insider privy to the war-planning said: “If we don’t get [the] airspace, the military are telling us it’s not a showstopper, but it’s certainly a big impediment.” NEWSWEEK has learned that the United States asked for 11 air corridors over Turkey and also requested use of Hakkari air base as a pit stop for KC-135 tankers, plus the right to run airstrikes out of Incirlik air base....

The second-seeded Sooners ended the first half on a 30-8 run to take a 45-26 lead into halftime after forcing 10 turnovers.
