For manager Dave Roberts and his Dodgers this year, that instance came June 10, when Trout woke up a skidding offense with a game-tying 454-foot moonshot off Dylan Floro to left field in the seventh inning of a comeback win. Trout homered against 15 different opponents over the course of the campaign and stole a base against nine. He hit 10 home runs in the seventh inning or later. Overall, he slashed ....
The BBC reported that the turtle, which has since been called Hagar the Horrible, was picked up near a waterway by a man and placed in his bathtub while the Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals responded. The organization then asked Lincolnshire Wildlife Park to house Hagar in its turtle sanctuary, which officials agreed to do. The park’s zoo manager Andy Ferguson told Newsweek other sanctuaries were unable to house Hagar due to space issues....
Protein is one of the three macronutrients that humans get from their diets. It plays an important role in muscle maintenance, feeling full, and offers a slew of health benefits. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest that Americans eat between 5 and 7 protein ounce “equivalents” every day, depending on their calorie needs.

For many battered wives, and not only in Saudi Arabia, the story might have ended there. But because al-Baz, 29, is a celebrity in a country where many women aren’t allowed to show their faces in public, and because she was barely recognizable with her features fractured in 13 places, somebody took her picture. More surprising still, the Saudi press published the gruesome image. Then, in the full glare of international publicity, al-Baz spoke out for her rights as a woman and a mother....
The police were called to the property Wednesday, but did not confirm to the press if there was a trespasser on the grounds. “There’s an ongoing investigation right now, and we’re working on it,” said Michael Ogrodnick, a spokesman for the Palm Beach Police Department, to The Miami Herald. “We will let you know as soon as we have something, which should be soon.” The president has tweeted that he plans on spending the winter holiday season at the club, which he called “the Southern White House” in the same tweet....

Broadwater is a 61-year-old man who wrongfully served 16 years in prison for the rape of author Alice Sebold, who wrote the popular book The Lovely Bones. Broadwater was convicted in 1982. In a New York State Supreme Court courtroom last week, Broadwater’s rape conviction was overturned. Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick told Justice Gordon Cuffy: “This should never have happened.” The re-examination of the case found serious flaws in Broadwater’s arrest and trial after discrepancies came to light when Sebold’s memoir about the rape, Lucky, was being adapted into a film....

Amid a spike in cases in Michigan, Governor Gretchen Whitmer closed schools to in-person learning, indoor dining and other entertainment for three weeks beginning on Wednesday.

You get what you accept.” “I totally disagree with it,” Fauci told NBC’s Today show on Monday morning....
Negotiations continued between Barry Hearn, Eddie’s father, and Shelly Finkel, Wilder’s co-manager, in New York. One of the main points of discussion is the location of the fight. Wilder’s camp offered $50 million for the fight, with hopes of it being held in Las Vegas. Wilder (40-0), who is from Tuscaloosa, Ala., has never had a fight outside the United States, Mexico or Puerto Rico. Joshua (21-0) has never fought outside his native United Kingdom....
Joshua is seemingly ready to begin the latest rebuilding phase of his career by basing himself in the United States, with Derrick James reportedly the front-runner to take charge of his camp for an April 1 return. Jermaine Franklin and Demsey McKean are rumoured to be potential opponents — each more straightforward assignments when bedding in a new training setup than a rematch with pound-for-pound superstar Oleksandr Usyk. That was the situation when respected Mexican coach Robert Garcia joined forces with Angel Fernandez to guide Joshua into his instant return against the Ukrainian master, following a unanimous decision loss at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September 2021....

Yikes. Good luck shaking that image. Maybe he would've been better off going the Ronnie Lott or Rashad Johnson route.

Shortly after the news broke, Scaramucci, who has become a staunch Trump critic, retweeted it and said it was accurate. “True,” Scaramucci tweeted, sharing the post by the article’s author, journalist McKay Coppins....
The ads—targeting Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Chuck Grassley, Senator Marco Rubio, Senator Ron Johnson and Senator Rob Portman—highlight the senators’ comments from 2016 when they said Supreme Court justices should not be confirmed during an election year. These remarks come in stark opposition to the current efforts to fill the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s vacancy before November 3. “It would be bad to move forward in the middle of a hotly contested presidential campaign,” Grassley says in a clip from 2016 featured in the ad....
