Sarver released a statement through the team in which he tried to preemptively deny what would be reported. News of the pending report was broken by Portland podcaster Jordan Schultz, who tweeted the NBA was preparing for a “massive” story about Sarver. Schultz did not tweet that ESPN was publishing the report, but Sarver said so in his statement.

Since its founding in 2013 by Emma “Eniko” Maassen and James Yarrow, Kitsune Games has made strides to be as inclusive as possible in its creation of games. While the studio enjoyed the spotlight after the release of Super Bernie World, it has also released games like the turn-based dungeon crawler MidBoss (not to be confused with MidBoss, the studio), and the puzzle game Ultra Hat Dimension.

The Vikings romped over the Rams in St. Louis and had their Super Bowl price cut in half at the SuperBook. In fact, Minnesota’s new 12-to-1 odds to win the NFC project the Vikes as a playoff team. The Titans, after an easy win in Kansas City, also had their futures numbers reduced significantly, from 100-to-1 to win the Super Bowl last week to 60-to-1 Monday. Five teams that came away empty from their home openers went in the other direction on the odds board, notably the Ravens and Bears, each listed at 25-to-1 ahead of the season....

The Gaurs paved their way into the final eight on account of their 3-1 win over ATK on April 3. Coincidentally, Goa had beaten ATK 5-1 before beating the Jamshedpur 3-0 in the regular season of the last edition of the Indian Super League (ISL) as well. Ahead of the match, FC Goa coach Derrick Pereira has maintained that his side are in a good shape to take on the Men of Steel....

Edu Bedia’s slick header and Pablo Morgado’s own goal from a free-kick from an identical position in the first half ensured FC Goa had a two-goal cushion heading into the tunnel. They tripled the lead when Seriton Fernandes found the back of the net after Zaid Krouch sent him through. Pablo Morgado did pull one back to make amends for his earlier own goal but Coro’s penalty dimmed their chances of staging a comeback....

Although the two competitors fought an even fight, it was Thomas G who reached the end of the Super Mario Odyssey level first and the experienced gamer was rewarded for his speed with a tricky boss fight. In the ‘Deepest Underground’ area, Mario is confronted with a stone Olmec head, equipped with two floating and fully-functional hands. The platform the two do battle on is spacious enough, but players have to beware the ice traps on the ground which will make it more difficult to avoid the incoming attacks....

Unfortunately, Universal Studios announced that the opening of Super Nintendo World, which was supposed to happen before the Japan Olympics, was postponed to Spring of 2021. At the time, there was no concrete date, but now it has been announced that Super Nintendo World will open earlier than expected and start entertaining guests on February 4th, 2021.

“Likability” has apparently become a more potent political attribute than, say, having a firm grasp of issues or possessing formidable speaking skills. At a lunch with Newsweek editors on Monday, Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating said that if Governor Bush had an edge in his race against the vice president it is “his likeability. People like him”.It’s pretty tough to embrace a razor blade. It’s pretty tough to hug an ice cube, and I think both metaphors apply to Al Gore....

Gal’s near brush with death is a sign that his blissful retirement with his adoring wife, Deedee (Amanda Redman), is about to be shattered. Enter Don Logan (Ben Kingsley), his old underworld partner and nemesis. Don wants to lure Gal back into his old life of crime; he’s putting together a team for a bank heist back in London, and he won’t take no for an answer. “Sexy Beast” does end up in London, and a robbery does take place, but first-time director Jonathan Glazer and writers Louis Mellis and David Scinto have more on their minds than just another neo-noir heist movie....

Perhaps the question — Is Suh worth the richest defensive contract in NFL history? — was answered for Ross last year when his Dolphins’ first possession of a Week 10 game against the Lions went three-and-out thanks to No. 90. Three plays … three reasons why Ross was determined to be the highest Suh bidder … three reasons why Detroit’s No. 2-ranked defense (in 2014) will never be the same....

Start from the heart, expressing admiration and love for the bride and groom. Season the speech with lots of humor, using funny stories you get from the couple’s family members. “If you don’t get a really good version of how the couple met, you failed,” says Van Petten (“Wedding Crashers” notwithstanding). Expose your own and the couple’s humility by expressing how honored you are to be giving the speech and how lucky they are to have found each other....

Keighley’s month-long celebration of games is one of the most anticipated this summer, which is partly due to the success of The Game Awards. The annual showcase attracted over 30 partners to participate including SEGA, Activision, PlayStation, EA, and miHoYo to name a few.

RENO – The Lions made some changes to their coaching staff this week, including replacing offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi with James “Jim Bob” Cooter. Yep, Vince’s grandson was yanked for a guy named Jim Bob. A lot of people, including yours truly, think head coach Jim Caldwell is the problem. I know it is tough to fire a head coach mid-season, though a lot of teams do it, but I never could figure out how Caldwell got the gig in the first place....

Gavaskar said it would be wrong to blame Dhoni for the team’s debacle in England and also felt that he should continue as the captain. “He has led from the front. He has batted at difficult positions. He has set an example. If his example has not been followed by the rest of the team, I don’t think you can blame the captain. I don’t think there is any alternative to Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the foreseeable future and I would back him to carry on,” Gavaskar told NDTV....

The attack on the Jews was launched in The Wall Street Journal, in an unattributed squib reporting that “Israel supporters” were campaigning to force Sununu out. Next, columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak wrote of “Sununu’s suspicion” that he was under fire because he was a Lebanese-American who didn’t fully support “Israel’s demands on the United States.” Then The Washington Post said Sununu was telling associates that the foes besetting him included the liberal media, political rivals, resentful underlings–and the Israel lobby....

Philadelphia has gone from presumed Super Bowl participant to big playoff underdog because of quarterback Carson Wentz’s injury, which turned the team over to Nick Foles. New England enters Super Bowl 52 as the favorite to repeat, with Tom Brady building off an unprecedented comeback in Super Bowl 51 to have one of his best seasons, even at age 40. The Eagles lost several other key players along the way beyond their starting quarterback, including left tackle Jason Peters, linebacker Jordan Hicks and running back Darren Sproles....

Wide receiver Edelman regularly boasts facial fuzz during the postseason and he was rocking a beard when he reeled in 10 catches for 141 yards as the Pats overcame the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 in last Sunday’s Super Bowl. However, now that their campaign is over, Edelman has elected to ditch the beard once more. The 32-year-old appeared on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ and let the host remove his facial hair for a donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston....
