The Sportscenter Fallacy Ordinary plays far outnumber the big plays but are no less important. In Ultimate, the objective is to score goals – and there are no ‘ugly’ ones – Each fetches the offense a single point.

More: Barcelona tracking trio of right backs Pique has been together with the Colombian singer for six years, and the couple has two sons together.

After an umpire helpfully pointed it out, Castro quickly smuggled the phone away, but the damage was done. Castro was suspended for a game and fined Tuesday by MLB for violating league policy and having a foreign object on the field. He was contrite after the game in his explanation. “I don’t think there’s any professional ballplayer that would ever go out there with any intentions of taking a cell phone,” he said through an interpreter, via ESPN....

The result never looked in doubt from the gun, as the South African struck out on his own to lead coming into the last half-lap and was roared across the line in 46....

The left-armer was the not-out batsman as England were dismissed for 353, having at one stage been 277-4 in the first of two Tests. England made strong headway with the ball as the Black Caps were reduced to 144-4, with the key wicket of captain Kane Williamson for 51 providing a boost for the tourists late in the day. It was the nature of that dismissal, brought about by Sam Curran’s viciously bouncing length delivery, that offered added encouragement to Leach....

In his ruling, Judge Joseph James cited the Uniform Firearms Act (UFA), saying “the UFA preempts any local regulation pertaining to the regulation of firearms.” “We are extremely pleased with Judge James’ decision today striking down the City of Pittsburgh’s unlawful firearm ordinances and signage, which only sought to eviscerate the inviolate right of the residents of the Commonwealth to keep and bear arms and ensnare law-abiding citizens through a patchwork of laws,” said Joshua Prince, an attorney representing those who sought to have the measures overturned, according to WHP....

Soul was never meant to be a Christmas launch, nor a Disney+ exclusive, but its delayed release and streaming debut was a minor miracle of timing.

Having suffered a defeat against Bengaluru FC in the previous match, Sergio Lobera and his team would be looking to get back to winning ways before the play-offs. Much has been made of Goa’s free-scoring attack, which has scored the most goals in the ISL this time around. The likes of Ferran Corominas and Edu Bedia have been instrumental for the side upfront.
