In the 54th minute, with the game still 0-0, Leicester City broke swiftly from a Chelsea corner and Riyad Mahraz found Nugent 40 yards out with only the Blues goalkeeper between him and a famous goal. Rather than commit himself, Courtois nervelessly closed the distance and narrowed the angles before deflecting the shot wide. Stamford Bridge roared in approval and the body language of the visiting players, impressively unperturbed up to that point, suggested they thought their best chance had gone....

Time running out for Coutinho at Bayern Munich? Bayern Munich may not want to sign Philippe Coutinho at the end of the ongoing season, according to BILD. The Bavarians would have to cough up an astounding €120 million if they want to land the Brazil international on a permanent deal.

Couturier scored in regulation and provided the only goal in a shootout as the Flyers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-4 Wednesday night. Radko Gudas, Travis Konecny and Ryan Hartman also scored for Philadelphia, which remained mathematically alive for a playoff berth. The Flyers moved within eight points of idle Montreal for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with five regular-season games remaining. “Whatever it is, the situation, I think everyone has pride in here,” Couturier said....

While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a COVID-19 data tracker that shows case counts in each state, others researchers have developed their own tools, including the COVID-19 Event Risk Assessment Planning Tool. Led by experts based in Georgia, the risk assessment tool lets users view relative risk levels when it comes to attending an event or gathering in a specific area. On an interactive, color-coded map, users can choose where the gathering is happening (state and county) and how many people will be in attendance (10 to 5,000)....

The facility, which the Dallas Cowboys call home, also hosted the Big 12 title game in 2010, the last time the conference played the football championship event. Jerry World, as it’s affectionately called as a nod to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, also hosted the game in 2009.

Prescott (ankle) had his season ended in Week 5. Dalton (concussion) took a late hit in Week 7 and isn’t a sure thing to play immediately going forward. That leaves rookie Ben DiNucci and journeyman Garrett Gilbert as the remaining Cowboys’ QB depth. In a brutal NFC East, Dallas would have a chance to compete with competent quarterback play, but that seems like a lot to ask for at this point....

Bryant’s value as a free agent is inflated, as his name carries more weight than his game does. Witten is on his way to Monday Night Football and then the Pro Football Hall of Fame as one of the most beloved Cowboys ever. He has the most receptions and receiving yards in the history of the franchise. But sentiments aside, Bryant was on the decline ahead of turning 30 this November....

All of it is tiresome, and just six weeks into a Cowboys season that’s anything but lost, it’s also pointless. Garrett, 53, is “absolutely not” in danger of losing the job he has held for almost a decade, a source told ESPN’s Ed Werder hours after the Cowboys lost to the Jets on Sunday. Nor should he be. VIDEO: Cowboys vs. Jets game highlights As of Sunday evening, 89 percent of the 2,300 Twitter users who had voted in a poll presented by The Dallas Morning News — “What do you think, #CowboysNation, is it time for the #DallasCowboys to fire Jason Garrett after their loss to the Jets?...

The 17 year old wicketkeeper-batsman blasted six sixes and one four on his way to a 24 ball 54 that earned him the fastest innings award. Pooran’s effort provided some optimism for the Red Steel who were chasing 156 for victory but only managed 136 for nine off their 20 overs. Darren Bravo (23) and Justin Guillen (22) were the only other batsmen that coped with the Warrior spinners Veerasammy Permaul, Sunil Narine and man of the match Krishma Santokie....

Also hidden on the site is a hint that should get Crackdown fans excited in the immediacy. In the bottom right corner of the page, a line of text reads “BETA_INIT,” which very much points towards the the site teasing an upcoming beta for Crackdown 3.

The Last of Us Part 2 is still relevant and most likely will continue to be, as according to Neil Druckmann the game’s themes were inspired by certain political conflicts. These themes are reflected through Ellie’s actions, whose questionable choices reflect on fundamental human struggles, like balancing love and hate, and how those struggles drive humanity. However, a recent bug strips all the humanity away from Ellie, showing her as a creepy black monster instead....
