PHOTOS: Classic photos of Ronda Rousey | MORE: Rousey vs. Holm odds For the past 5 years this same Ronda Rousey and Dana White have used the media to Bully me, opening the door for other opponents to try the same tactics. Instead of talking about my fighting skills, they would rather use the Media attention to say like I look like a man, or that I Walk like Wanderlia Silva in a dress....

Schrank, a So Paulo grower who recently destroyed 12,000 stricken trees, there’s another name for it. “This”–he nods at a stretch of bare dirt, as red and raw as a wound–“this is like AIDS.” Actually, it’s more like tristeza da laranja (“the orange’s sorrow”), a virus that ravaged the Brazilian countryside in the 1940s. In a few years, the disease killed all varieties of Brazil’s orange trees except one: the limo cravo....

The Portuguese superstar took most of the flack for Juventus’ shocking elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Porto. This has led to people associated with the club calling for Cristiano Ronaldo to be sold in the summer. It now seems that these rumors have affected Ronaldo off the pitch, as he is reportedly ‘frustrated and lonely’ at Juventus. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, via MARCA, Cristiano Ronaldo’s attitude has completely changed from when he first arrived at Juventus....

Ronaldo and Rodriguez have played together for Real Madrid since the summer of 2014, but Asprilla feels that Rodriguez, inspired by Ronaldo, is not showing enough respect to his team-mates. Speaking to ESPN Deportes, Asprilla said: “James is my friend and I love him a lot. But I can see that his friendship with Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid is damaging him. “He now has the same gestures as Ronaldo when he doesn’t get the ball....

In case you didn’t know… Ronaldo was the difference-maker as Portugal faced Switzerland in the Nations League semi-finals at the Estadio do Dragao earlier this week. The Juventus star opened the scoring for his side with a superb free-kick in the first half of the game before Ricardo Rodriguez netted the equaliser from the penalty spot after the break. The 34-year-old went on to secure a 3-1 win for Portugal by netting two goals within two minutes towards the end of the game, and completing the 53rd hat-trick of his professional career....

With 11 Ballon d’Or awards between them, there’s absolutely no doubt whatsoever that they’re two of the best players the sport has ever seen. Over the course of their respective careers, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have scored goals for fun, shattering many goal-scoring records. By scoring for Juventus against Sassuolo in a Serie A game, a 35-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo became the joint-highest goal-scorer in the sport’s history after he equalled Josef Bican’s official tally of 759 career goals (for club and country)....

Ronaldo swapped LaLiga giants Real Madrid for Juve in a blockbuster €112million deal prior to the 2018-19 season, however, there was apparent interest from Milan prior to the transfer. Ex-sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli claimed Ronaldo was on the brink of signing for Milan before the former ownership – led by Li Yonghong – blocked the deal prior to hedge fund Elliott Management assuming control of the Italian team. And Fassone, who followed Mirabelli out of Milan following the takeover in July last year, backed up those claims....

C.J. Cron’s three-run home run in the seventh inning carried the Rays to their fifth straight win, and five pitchers held the opponent to two runs or fewer for the 12th time in the Rays’ past 15 home games, in which they are 14-1. “These past couple of weeks have shown you that we can compete with the best teams in baseball,” Kiermaier said. “You see a lot of people growing in here, and it starts with our pitching staff and what they’ve done....

Knicks guard Courtney Lee cares not for your silly triangle; he showed Friday that by putting back a massive dunk off a Derrick Rose miss in the second quarter against the 76ers. MORE: Seven questions that highlight the end of the NBA regular season Lee doesn’t care for triangles, or even his own teammates, apparently: He dunked on Kyle O’Quinn! He’s a center! O’Quinn didn’t seem to care, as he casually skipped away from the dunk after it happened....

On one hand, the Minnesota Vikings quarterback threw three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter to help rally his team from a 20-7 deficit against the Green Bay Packers. But three missed field goals, including two in overtime, by rookie Daniel Carlson hurt. So did a pass from Cousins that bounced off Laquon Treadwell’s hands late in the fourth quarter that was intercepted by Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. It added up to a 29-29 tie on Sunday....

The 24-year-old has been linked with a move to Camp Nou following his excellent displays this season, with the Brazilian scoring 13 goals in 31 Premier League outings to help fire his team into the Champions League. Coutinho recently stressed that he would rather build a legacy at Liverpool than become a squad player at Barca, but Tite has little doubt he would become a key figure for the Catalans if he were to make the move....

President Joe Biden has said he will still wear a mask after vaccination—even when outside or gathering indoors with other vaccinated individuals—calling it a “patriotic responsibility.” Days earlier, Biden’s chief medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci, insisted that children should still wear masks while playing outside, even though outdoor transmission is virtually impossible. They’re hardly the only doomsayers. Vaccines are rolling out quickly and are close to 100 percent effective at preventing hospitalizations and deaths....

Demand has no doubt been driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, but also by the range of software that the Switch offers. How Many Units Has the Nintendo Switch Sold? As recorded in Nintendo’s financial statements, Nintendo shipped 28.83 million Switch units in the last fiscal year. That represents a 37% increase over the year prior. In the recent quarter of January to March, Switch sales were up 44% compared to the same period last year, with 4....

While most people who have recovered from the acute illness caused by COVID-19 have returned to normal health, some have reported experiencing symptoms for weeks or months afterwards, a condition that has become known as ’long COVID,’ or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC). “I fear that some people who have had these effects who are already three or four months out may not be on a path to get better in a few more months, and this could be something that becomes a chronic illness,” Dr....

Rush was far from dynamic in the victory. He completed 10 of 16 passes for 102 yards and didn’t record a touchdown. Still, he didn’t record a turnover and helped Dallas to improve to 4-1 on the season and 4-0 since Dak Prescott’s thumb injury, a point at which many assumed the Cowboys were dead in the water. Certainly, Rush owes a lot of his success to the performance of Dallas’ defense....

Prescott had already signed his tender offer and will earn approximately $31.4 million for the upcoming season before becoming an unrestricted free agent, unless the Cowboys opt to again place the franchise tag on him, a move that would count over $37 million toward the 2021 salary cap. The two-time Pro Bowl selection is one of 10 players who have signed their franchise tenders but were unable to come to terms on multiyear contracts with their respective teams....

OK, fine. Sunday’s 27-17 win over the Ravens marked the Cowboys’ No. 1 wide receiver’s fourth game back from his knee injury. Since his return and before Week 11, Bryant had some big moments. But there was still something off. His trademark “X” still didn’t mark the sweet spot with Dak Prescott. MORE: Putting Cowboys’ dominance in perspective Something changed, however, against Baltimore. Neither the ball nor the connection was forced to Bryant....

Grugier-Hill said the Cowboys are going to “choke” in their week 14 matchup. When asked if he had heard Grugier-Hill’s remarks, Prescott initially responded: “Who?” The 25-year-old quarterback then went on to say the reason the Eagles are talking trash is to bring attention to themselves. “You know, coach [Jason] Garrett has a great saying, and I don’t know where he got it from, but winners worry about winning and losers worry about winners,’’ Prescott told reporters, per the Dallas Morning News....
