Perhaps it may have been truer to form if United had seen out Ferguson’s tenure with a win, but there was something delightfully satisfying and apt about him overseeing a chaotic 5-5 draw to finish off. Having already said his farewells to the Old Trafford crowd a week earlier after a 2-1 win over Swansea City, urging the supporters to back his successor David Moyes, Ferguson’s champions had one last hurdle to overcome before a new era began....

Several members of the House Judiciary Committee, one of two panels Mueller was grilled by, expressed confidence that by Mueller confirming various incidences of alleged obstruction of justice that are detailed in his 448-page report, support would grow for initiating an inquiry, despite very little new information being revealed throughout his testimony. But there was no stampede by Democrats to rush toward calling for an impeachment inquiry, with nearly all members appearing to publicly remain within their respective anti- or pro-impeachment camps....

Yet Trevor Nunn’s marvelous new staging, which opened in London last month, makes the play seem fresh. Earlier Elizas like Julie Andrews and Audrey Hepburn had to disguise their cut-glass accents during the first few scenes, putting on faux cockney during Eliza’s “squashed cabbage” phase. But Nunn cast Martine McCutcheon, a British soap-opera and pop star–and a genuine working-class actress–as his Eliza. Orchestrator William David Brohn has trimmed the swooping strings from Frederick Loewe’s score; the result is a bolder, funkier sound, even for numbers like Henry Higgins’s misogynist rant, “I’m an Ordinary Man....

Toure’s contract expires at the end of the season and, as such, has been free to talk to other clubs about a free transfer since January 1.

Arsenal fight back to earn draw at Bournemouth to keep title hopes hanging by a thread...

Adesanya also revealed after the fight that the choke in question was his favorite moment from the bout....

It belonged to Mark Pavelich, who had the assist on Mike Eruzione's game-winning goal for Team USA against the Soviet Union. MORE: A fresh ‘Miracle on Ice’ story Heritage Auctions of Dallas says it fetched $262,900 Friday in an online-only sale. The company says it's just the second 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey gold medal to reach the block, the first being Mark Wells' medal, which commanded $310,700 in 2010.

While the Metacritic score for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are sitting at 90 and 88 respectively, the users have a very different opinion. The consumers see the game as deserving of a 2.6/10 on Xbox, and faring slightly worse on PS3 with 2.1/10 at the time of this writing. The PC has certainly seen the harshest criticism with a 1.4/10, while a Metascore has yet to be established....

Without hesitating, the bear hops up onto its hind legs and extends one of its paws towards the vehicle’s driver, who is also reaching out for the bear....

That’s the goal of MoonBigPapi.com, a website created with the end game of having 10,000 Yankees fans banding (and bending) together to give Ortiz a 20,000-cheek salute during his final game at Yankee Stadium on Sept. 29. “When Ortiz said, ‘I would like … at my last game for the people at Yankee Stadium to give me a standing ovation,’ I said to myself, ‘Yeah, and people in Hell want ice-water, too,’ ” said the site’s operator and curator, known by his screen name of Local Bargain Jerk....

Aside from the stats, he has been terrible on the pitch. He has looked underconfident and hasn’t been able to reach the heights he is often touted to reach. Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher spoke to CBS (via Metro) about Rashford’s performances this season. He said: He added: Manchester United’s options to replace Marcus Rashford Under interim manager Ralf Rangnick, 19-year-old Anthony Elanga has started to show promise.

Ever since Mortal Kombat started turning heads at the arcades in 1992, Sub-Zero and Scorpion have been the franchise’s most iconic characters, as almost anyone thinks of the Lin Kuei and Shirai Ryu ninjas upon hearing the name of the game. Given that, it’s really no surprise that the trailer heavily features Scorpion trying to exact revenge on Sub-Zero, but that years-old plot quickly had fans wondering if more colorful ninjas could show up in this upcoming movie reboot....

While NetherRealm has previously detailed that Mortal Kombat X would have a way for players to use easy fatalities, we’re just now learning how gamers will be able to unlock these finishing moves. Players visiting online stores such as Xbox Live or PlayStation Network have come across a number of add-on packs for the core game, including the DLC character Goro, a Blue Steel Sub Zero skin, and a Samurai skin pack for three of the roster characters....

Announced alongside the game’s release date is the return of the four-armed Shokan fighter Goro, who has been surprisingly absent from the Mortal Kombat roster for almost a decade. Seen below in the first promo image for him (click for high-res), the character appeared in the last Mortal Kombat, often referred to as Mortal Kombat 9, but was instead a sub-boss and not a playable character. Fans eager to finally play as Goro again will need to pre-order the game prior to launch, or simply hold out until he becomes available in the form of paid DLC....

Speaking about the future of her dating life, Renay said that she is not sure and everything is dependent on what God wants. Crystal Renay says she cannot forgive Ne-Yo During her chat with TMZ on August 26, Crystal stated that she cannot forgive her former partner.

I went on to rescue other dogs and I kept one who ended up passing away on January 6, 2016. That was the reason I went and got Azzura Diamante at the beginning of 2016, because Bruno was now by himself. Azzurra was eight weeks old when I got her, so she grew up with Bruno. That was all she knew; me and Bruno. She was my second joy and I lived for them both....

After the breakup, I felt quite lonely and that there weren’t many people I could talk to. Most of my friends lived in New Zealand, as my partner and I had spent a lot of time over there, and I hadn’t really maintained my friendships where I lived in London. Around this time, I reached out to Rebecca*. I had known her for nine years through a mutual friend but we had never spent any time just the two of us....
