By the time Moore and Khalil Mack finally realized they would be flagged for offsides, they had no shot at getting back to the Oakland side of the ball.

The Hall of Fame awarded a gold jacket and ring to the family of late Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, who passed away after his election but before his induction, in a move the Raiders owner commended as he expressed excitement about the precedent. “David Baker and the Hall of Fame made the right decision, and I believe it opens the door to reconsidering awarding rings and jackets to the families of all deceased enshrinees,” Davis told ESPN....

Think of July 1 as the NHL’s Black Friday: a secular holiday in which the masses (in this analogy 30 general managers) are goaded into spending money for the sake of spending money. Everyone out, about and looking for the same things results in unmitigated mayhem. What may have started off of as small, defined shopping list grows out of an inherent need to grab as many things in your line of sight as you can....

A downpour prevented any play on Friday, making the rookie hosts wait another 24 hours before starting their Test careers on an entertaining day in Dublin. Boyd Rankin (2-58), already a Test international with England, took the historic first wicket as Ireland began on the front foot and it was the same man who removed the troublesome Asad Shafiq (62) to slow the recovering tourists. But Shadab Khan (52 not out) and Faheem Ashraf (61no) excelled before play stopped again to put a dampener on another soggy day for Ireland....

The duo are locked at 4-4 in the first set, while Kiki Bertens and Madison Keys – a finalist here in 2015 – were not able to begin their last-four clash on Saturday. Inclement weather saw the opening match put back and in the brief time the crowd was treated to some action, they got to see a break apiece before the wet conditions ultimately brought an early finish....

The Geico 500 is scheduled to start at 1:02 p.m. ET. On Sunday, NASCAR advanced the starting time to get more laps before raindrops arrive. It was cloudy about three hours before race time.

Not only does Sam Lake offer his appreciation to all of the people involved with Quantum Break’s creation in the clip below, but also he presents a cinematic trailer at the end of his speech to give fans who haven’t had a chance to brush up on the game’s content what the final product looks like. Naturally, the materials shown feature X-Men star Shawn Ashmore in the lead role, as well as other Hollywood actors such as Lord of the Rings’ Dominic Monaghan, Game of Thrones’ Aidan Gillen, and The Wire’s Lance Reddick....

Developer Remedy Entertainment seems to be acutely aware of Quantum Break’s shortcomings, and will be looking to make improvements to the gameplay mechanics of upcoming projects.

The Redskins benched veteran Case Keenum in favor of their first-round pick of the 2019 draft during the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Giants. The outcome, however, didn’t live up to Haskins’ high expectations. The rookie out of Ohio State finished 9-of-17 passing for 107 yards and three interceptions in the 24-3 loss. “I have to keep getting better, keep working with the receivers, keep working with the offensive line and do all I can to be in a position to win the game,” Haskins said after the game at MetLife Stadium....

I’ve been flashing back to that episode the last few months, considering how, even with the best intentions, male is still the universal default setting. Here’s the drumbeat—Hillary Rodham Clinton is a strange test case for a what-if we women have been rehearsing for decades. What would be the chances that the most significant run for the presidency by a woman would be made by someone with more baggage than a ball team headed to an away game: a former First Lady, married to one of the most polarizing political figures in modern American history, who had suffered the public humiliation of his sexual perfidy?...

Gingrich does have a PR plan to woo black voters. An internal document entitled “GOP Minority Outreach Strategy,” obtained by Newsweek, calls for the GOP to “promote” its minority House members – all six of them – at press conferences, in action on the floor of the House and through informal TV responses to the president. It advocates finding minorities to testify at congressional hearings and creating a GOP mailing list of minority groups....

In case you didn’t know… Some of the NextGen players, such as Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas, have reached finals of big tournaments and have even won some of them. However, they have failed to loosen the Big 3’s stranglehold over the Slams. Federer, Nadal and Djokovic have combined to win the last 12 Majors, and have not been challenged much by the younger generation while doing so. The closest that anyone came to breaking through was Daniil Medvedev, who took Nadal to five sets in the US Open final this year....

On Nov. 16, 1999, Carruth’s pregnant ex-girlfriend, Cherica Adams, was critically injured in a drive-by shooting in Charlotte. Carruth, then a Carolina Panthers player, was found to have hired the gunman, part of a calculated and sinister plan to ensure Adams would not give birth to the child.​ Carruth fled after Adams died in the hospital about a month later. He was tracked down by the FBI and arrested from the trunk of a car in a Best Western hotel parking lot in Tennessee....

Having earned countless other accolades and the utmost respect of his peers, Nadal has one of the most enviable resumes in tennis history. And off the court too, Nadal is always grounded and courteous. The World No. 2 is incredibly modest whether he wins or loses, a mindset that was inculcated in him right from childhood. These attributes have helped the Spaniard attract millions of fans all around the world....

The irrepressible Mallorcan bared his guts for everyone to see inside the National Tennis Centre in Beijing, leaving those witnesses numb in disbelief. In yet another exhibition of raw instinct, Nadal scripted a typically resilient comeback from near death at the China Open to underline the fact that his opponents need to walk over the Spaniard’s dead body to claim victory. After an exhilarating season that has resembled a dream, Nadal is very much alive and within a whisker now of snatching the top rank from Novak Djokovic....
