The trailer was simultaneously uploaded to both 20th Century Studios and Ryan Reynolds’ YouTube channels, but of course, over on Reynolds’ side, there was also a funny bit dropped the day before titled “Trailer Tomorrow. Probably.”, where the cast and director Shawn Levy can be seen in a Zoom call joking around the uncertainty around the film’s premiere. Taika Waititi, set to play the main villain, is absent from the call, probably due to his incredibly busy schedule....

Ferrari retained their recent edge over Red Bull and Max Verstappen, with Charles Leclerc completing a one-two alongside Sainz ahead of the reigning world champion. However, Sainz will have to swallow a 10-place grid penalty in Sunday’s race after having new control electronics installed. On the track, the Ferraris looked impressive, particularly when switching down to soft tyres, and Verstappen was 0.5 seconds shy of their efforts.

Namely Connor Schell of ESPN vs. Jamie Horowitz of FS1 and Stephen A. Smith of ESPN vs. Skip Bayless of FS1. ESPN’s promotion of Schell to executive vice president of content Friday will pit him directly against close friend and former ESPN colleague Horowitz, president of Fox Sports National Networks....

But we must stay strong in these dark times. We must not let our heads drop. We must be the positive force we want to see in the world. If nothing else, the pause in the current season has given us a great opportunity to take a look back at some of the best moments throughout the NHL’s long and storied history. While we’re positive none of these haircuts fall under that label, they’re still glorious rays of hope that we can all take inspiration from....

But having a five-star quarterback is a hit-or-miss proposition. Consider that of the 21 five-star quarterbacks ranked by Rivals.com since 2005, three won both a national championship and a Heisman Trophy. Seven, however, finished their college career with a different school. There are no guarantees. Sporting News looked at those five-star quarterbacks from Rivals from the last 10 recruiting cycles and ranked them based on college and NFL success. Which quarterbacks turned out to be the biggest studs?...

The experienced and reliable Surjeet Narwal had suffered a sprain during the National Games in Trivandrum earlier this year and as has been the case, was doubtful for the start of the season. Joint top scorer from last year-Kashiling Adike was supposed to take over the mantle but the concern was did Delhi have enough depth to support him? The first match re-affirmed those doubts. Not only the raiders struggled, both Kashi and the newly recruited Rohit Chowdhury sat out for considerable time and if not for some inspired defending by Ravinder Pahal, the scoreline could have exhibited a bigger margin....

David Trezeguet wrote himself into history twice. The two standout moments of a remarkable career arriving 11 years apart, forever cherished on different hemispheres.

David’s father, Jorge, was a professional footballer who had left Buenos Aires for the north of France in the late 1970’s to enjoy a stint with FC Rouen....

Last year, breakthrough relief pitchers included Lou Trivino (A’s), Seranthony Dominguez (Phillies) and Richard Rodriguez (Pirates), each of whom brought little to no fanfare to the league but quickly became essential members of their respective teams. This year, they’re entrenched in late-inning roles. The 2019 wave of relievers figures to be similarly potent, and already several have distinguished themselves. The group includes Marlins right-hander Nick Anderson, Padres right-hander Trey Wingenter and Mariners right-hander Ryan Sadzeck....

Spanish education is no better in providing a conciliation between the life of an athlete and student life. The system is based on putting endless hours in classrooms, only to sit down for even more and memorize information like a robot. In Spain, where it is already difficult to work and study and at the same time, there are not enough hours in a day to study and attempt to become a professional in any sport at the same time....

The 58-year-old shared a video of himself enjoying some Italian pizza with a can of Coca-Cola. He captained the video: Mourinho clearly enjoyed his pizza as much as he enjoyed his team’s performance against Salernitana. The Giallorossi barely put a foot wrong, dominating possession and being clinical when it mattered....
