This is the same franchise that once lived to tweak its big brother....
Last week, ESPN’s 10-part documentary chronicling Michael Jordan’s final season with the Bulls detailed the bitter feud that developed between Detroit and Chicago as the former delayed the beginning of the Bulls’ dynasty by three years. On Sunday, Episode 6 delved into the rivalry that defined the Eastern Conference after the Pistons abdicated in 1991 as Chicago became for the Knicks what Detroit had been for the Bulls. “We hated each other....
One of the new games revealed at the THQ Nordic showcase included Knights of Honor 2: Sovereign. The RTS game was announced back in 2019 as a sequel to the first Knights of Honor developed by Black Sea Studios, now Creative Assembly Sofia, and is being developed by Black Sea Games with developers who worked on the first title. However, the THQ Nordic showcase revealed more than just a brief teaser trailer and showed some gameplay too....
While Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was never officially made a part of the same canon as the movies, the removal of the Expanded Universe from the canon could make it even less likely that the games will ever be considered canon in the future, and may even be directly contradicted by new lore. However, there is another part of the Star Wars timeline which could be a great setting for a new BioWare Star Wars RPG....
“I think for us now, talking about winning a World Cup is just not realistic,” U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said Wednesday in Sao Paulo at his first news conference of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. ''If it's American or not American, I don't know. You can correct me however you want.” Klinsmann first said this in December to New York Times writer Sam Borden, who was preparing a magazine piece on the coach that would run adjacent to the World Cup....
Klizan was pushed by teenager Popyrin before scraping through 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 7-6 (7-5) at the ATP 250 event. Australian wildcard Popyrin was left to rue a slow start to the final-set tie-break, losing the first five points before being unable to recover. In the day’s only other main-draw match, another Australian wildcard, Thompson, was too good for Adrian Mannarino 6-3 6-3. 0 votes
Chelsea are the Christmas No.1 and look simply unstoppable “I’ve seen my players in some games where I’ve thought: ‘Oooof!’ There were days last season that no-one would have been able to play against us, where nobody would have liked to play against us,” he highlighted while drafting tactical designs for 2016-17 from the club’s Stanford University base during their tour of the United States. Klopp has already overseen such riveting episodes in this campaign as Liverpool, the Premier League’s top scorers, have been uncontainable in attack and unyielding in their assertiveness over opponents more often that not....
Salah was named Footballer of the Year ahead of Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne by the Football Writers’ Association on Tuesday, adding to his Professional Footballers’ Association Players’ Player of the Year award. The Egypt international has hit 43 goals in all competitions since signing from Roma for an initial €42million, with the 25-year-old on track to beat Tottenham’s Harry Kane to the Premier League Golden Boot. Salah scored twice and recorded two assists as Liverpool beat his old club Roma 5-2 in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, with the Stadio Olimpico hosting the return match on Wednesday....
Mohamed Salah should have given the Reds an early lead against their relegation haunted opponents, while Stoke defender Erik Pieters was fortunate to escape punishment for handball in the penalty area as the clock ticked down. However, very much at odds with his irritable reaction to last weekend’s 2-2 draw at West Brom, Klopp took a pragmatic view of the performance and refused to chastise the officials for Pieters’ late let-off....
The Reds maintained their one-point advantage at the top of the Premier League as braces from Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk, together with Divock Origi’s first league goal since December, secured an emphatic victory. Manchester City remain hot on their heels, however, following a 1-0 win over West Ham at the Etihad Stadium. Mane’s brilliant backheeled second will likely be seen as the game’s defining moment but both of his goals were laid on by Alexander-Arnold, who also supplied the delivery for Van Dijk’s first....
Mohamed Salah opened the scoring in the first leg of the quarter-final tie at Anfield on Wednesday, though the Egyptian was substituted early in the second half with a groin problem. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sadio Mane increased Liverpool’s lead in an astonishing opening half to the all-Premier League clash. However, Klopp’s squad have little time to celebrate the result as they have the small matter of a Merseyside derby against Everton on Saturday....
Klopp, who was furious with the referee’s decision not to award a free-kick in the build-up to Chelsea’s penalty, screamed in the fourth official’s face after striker Diego Costa saw his spot-kick saved by goalkeeper Simon Mignolet. The German later apologised to Swarbrick, who said he liked the coach’s passion. The incident prompted Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho to claim he pays more for his touchline behaviour than other managers do....
Salah has enjoyed a remarkable season, scoring 43 goals in all competitions and winning the PFA Players’ Player of the Year award, but he failed to shine against his former club on Sunday as Olivier Giroud’s goal secured the points for Antonio Conte’s side. However, Klopp, whose team booked a place in the Champions League final on Wednesday, claimed it was not unexpected that the former Roma forward could have an off-day....
The 19-year-old has generated plenty of interest since bursting onto the scene in Amsterdam - much like his dad did 24 years ago. It has been suggested that Kluivert Jr will see his career follow a similar path to an illustrious family member, with a spell at Camp Nou considered to be part of his sporting destiny. Various reports claim that Barca would be willing to make that dream a reality in the not too distant future, but Patrick Kluivert believes it is too soon for his son to be making such a move ....

Wherever they go, a mess follows. From J.R. Smith being suspended to start the season to Raymond Felton now facing gun charges, the Knicks are on pace for the biggest one-year freefall in franchise history. And with Carmelo Anthony having the option to leave this summer, plus Mike Woodson's future seemingly in jeopardy, New York might have a new look very soon unless things change quickly. "In the little time you get to yourself you try to reflect on everything, but it's hard," Anthony said Thursday before the Knicks lost their fourth straight, 108-82 to the Miami Heat....
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery made some waves when Rian Johnson revealed that Knives Out 2 would explore Benoit Blanc’s personal life a bit more. Blanc’s partner appears during the film, though mostly in the background, and he refers to him as “Blanc” as a term of endearment and helps flesh out Blanc’s background. The character’s relationship with Blanc is not identified during the film, but Johnson simply said “of course, he is” when asked if Blanc was gay and in a relationship with the character in an after-film Q&A....
Netflix’s followup to Knives Out will bow in select theaters early but globally join the streamer on December 23rd of this year, and they’ve offered a look-see at the upcoming film. This time the mystery is set on the private Greek island of a tech billionaire played by Edward Norton, per a release from Netflix’s own site. When it comes to gathering a great cast—think Knives Out’s eclectic mix of Chris Evans, Jamie Leigh Curtis, Don Johnson, Ana de Armas, and the late, great Christopher Plummer as but a slice of the casting pie—Johnson knows what he’s doing....
Huntington’s disease is a progressive, terminal neurological illness that causes mental and physical deterioration over a period of 10 to 20 years, usually beginning in a person’s 30s or 40s. The gene is dominant and thus does not skip generations. Having the gene means I will get the disease. There is no treatment or cure, not even anything experimental. There’s no way to stop its onset. I just turned 40....
