However, despite all the grand-standing, many gamers and industry professionals remain skeptical about the system - as well as Nintendo’s interest in (sometimes gimmicky) innovation over polished modern gameplay experiences. Speaking to Industry Gamers, Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter is, as usual, offering up his Wii U predictions - this time commenting on whether or not gamers should believe Nintendo’s claims that the console will enjoy significant third-party support....

Their loss in the Eastern Conference Finals was disappointing because the Celtics were considered to be a better team than the Miami Heat. However, the Boston Celtics weren’t the tougher team. They weren’t willing to do everything it took to win. And when facing crunch time, while the Heat got tough, the Boston Celtics didn’t fight back. The Boston Celtics blew big second-half leads in the first two games, which put them in a 0-2 hole that they couldn’t dig out of....

Hundreds of craters, with some over 3,000 feet wide, were uncovered by scientists in 2017 when they were mapping the floor of the Barents Sea. These craters were formed by huge methane explosions thousands of years earlier, at the end of the last ice age. The region was once covered in an ice sheet, weighing down the land below. As the planet warmed and the ice retreated, methane reservoirs deep beneath the ocean surface became unstable and moved upwards, creating enormous mounds on the seafloor....

One of the largest collections of prehistoric footprints on Earth lies along a sandy stretch of coastline in north-west England: Formby beach. Researchers at the University of Manchester in the U.K. have been studying these footprints for more than six years. “The muddy footprints were preserved immediately after they were formed by being baked hard in warm weather, filled with sand and then by being capped under further mud,” Alison Burns, who led the study, told Newsweek....

Ferrer might be missing a marketing opportunity. Some entrepreneurs already know that many visitors are drawn to the borough because of the decay. Bronx native Henry Williams runs Bronx Day Tours, and while he takes European visitors to Edgar Allan Poe’s cottage, he also swings by Hunts Point, a South Bronx neighborhood where tourists can snap pictures of stripped cars and drug deals from the safety of their bus. “If that’s what it takes to get them to the Bronx, so be it,” he says....

Johnson and Boldin became the first two players age-35 or older to catch a touchdown in the same game since September 29, 2002. On that day, future Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Tim Brown each hit paydirt for a Super Bowl-bound Raiders team. The 36-year-old Boldin and 35-year-old Johnson have each embarked on their 14th season with a new team, playing out the twighlight of their careers as peripheral pieces before eventually heading to Canton with Rice and Brown....

Speaking with Green Bay reporters during a conference call, the Super-Bowl winning quarterback sounded off on the country’s current stay-at-home orders while it battles the coronavirus pandemic: MORE: NFL facilities to partially reopen Rodgers mentioned that while the country is facing unprecedented crises — unemployment rates and the suicide hotline up “8,000 percent” — the veteran QB hopes that sports are a part of the solution once the country begins to reopen and get back to some normalcy....

While a faction of the MMA community wants Woodley to go back on the bet and take the ‘L’, the other side of the community wants Woodley to get the art done. Paddy Pimblett seemingly belongs to the latter faction. While in conversation with Louise Green, the UFC prospect opened up about the entire Jake Paul-Tyron Woodley tattoo fiasco. Pimblett believes ‘The Chosen One’ should get the tattoo in a bid to initiate a rematch to redeem himself in the eyes of the MMA faithful....

According to Pimblett, Jon Jones clearly deserves the title instead of Khabib, who he claims has beaten only three ‘decent’ opponents in his UFC career. Paddy Pimblett has now provided further clarification on his comments in a recent interview with MiddleEasy’s James Lynch. While Pimblett accepts Khabib Nurmagomedov as the best ever at 155 pounds, he doesn’t consider ‘The Eagle’ to be in general GOAT contention. Asked about his recent comments on the former UFC lightweight king, Paddy Pimblett told James Lynch:...

ESPN.com reports MLB is wrapping up an investigation into the Padres’ potential manipulation of the system to improve their leverage in trade talks after at least four teams complained to the commissioner’s office about San Diego’s practices. According to the report, the Red Sox, White Sox, Marlins and an unnamed fourth team objected to the Padres apparently withholding medical information on players from the central repository teams use to evaluate potential trades....

Coming to the numbers, Nestor won a jaw-dropping 91 career doubles titles (only behind the Bryan twins) including a sweep of all the Grand Slams. He also won 4 tour finals titles as well as the doubles Gold at the Sydney Olympics with partner Sebastian Lareau. Adding to his long list of accomplishments were 28 ATP Masters doubles titles (again behind only the Bryan twins). He also won 4 Grand Slams in the mixed doubles category....

As you are ready to don the yellow jersey for the ninth time, a basket of memories comes to my mind. My fascination and adoration towards you started in the year 2010. It was the last league match of Chennai Super Kings and it was a must-win game for your team to qualify for semi-finals. Chasing a daunting target of 193, you pulverized the KXIP bowling attack and produced an absolute carnage by scoring an unbeaten 54 off just 29 deliveries....

All the focus, however, has gone to the fans, about how distraught they are, having supported their team right from the day the management decided to shift to the league termed as the “future of football in India”. Spare a thought though for the team management, the coaching staff and the other people directly involved in running the club the way it has right from the time of inception....

Westerners tend to overlook the fact that Gorbachev’s aim in the late 1980s was not to dissolve the Soviet Union or abolish Communism but to rescue them by reforming both. The breakup of the USSR and the fading of Communism were unintended consequences of his efforts. Nevertheless, it is the consequences and not the intentions that have been (rightly) embraced. Khrushchev is largely forgotten or regarded with faint bemusement in most states that had been part of the Soviet Union....

Jucinskas is among 1,800 Lithuanians-some dead, some still alive-who have been pardoned during the past year by Lithuania’s newly independent government. Coming so soon after independence, the news had the power to sicken, particularly for Jews, who have cheered the fall of communism but fretted that rising nationalism throughout Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union has been tinged with traditional anti-Semitism. In Poland’s presidential campaign last year, for example, Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki was defeated in a campaign dominated by false charges that he was of Jewish descent....

It’s all well and good asking for change but change takes time. New stars that appeal to a wider audience have to be built. People who are popular to a wrestling crowd aren’t necessarily enough to be the face of a company. John Cena gets booed out of 50% of arenas around the world but he’s a household name that appeals to the mainstream society. Yes, it’s nice to see new talents such as; Baron Corbin, Apollo Crews, Alexa Bliss & Carmella being given a chance on prime TV but the company cannot solely rely on them yet if they want to succeed....

PSG squandered a first-leg lead as the French champions were sensationally eliminated on away goals by Manchester United in a dramatic last-16 tie on Wednesday. Thomas Tuchel’s PSG led 2-0 following the trip to Old Trafford but were beaten 3-1 in Paris, where Marcus Rashford’s controversial 94th-minute penalty sent the Ligue 1 giants out. Asked about PSG’s exit, Napoli head coach Ancelotti – who led the capital club to Ligue 1 glory in 2012-13 – was stunned following his team’s Europa League victory....
