With no Luke Skywalker to swing his sword in this era of rebels and fascists, the era of heroes requires more side characters to step to the forefront. That is exactly where the fourth episode of Andor excels at. The fourth episode, in a welcome departure from the previous episodes, explores almost too much of what Star Wars fans have wished for over the years. From mythical characters to an inside look at the Empire’s bureaucratic system, this episode had too much and too little at the same time....

Andrea Thome, the wife of former Indians slugger Jim Thome, announced on Twitter Friday that her family would be canceling its Browns season ticket package after the team’s acquisition of Deshaun Watson. “Officially cancelled our Browns season tickets today and asked for a refund as they were paid in full,” Andrea Thome wrote. “Very sad after 40 years as a fan, but this is my line in the sand. I believe women....

“It still feels like my first time and it could well be my last. Most importantly, it’s my last chance to be part of a team that goes down in Mexican football history. That’s my biggest motivation,” he told FIFA’s official website. The Real Betis midfielder has high hopes for El Tri this tournament, saying in November that the team is looking for knockout round success rather than simply getting out of the round of 16....

The 36-year-old star was in the South American nation earlier this month during the coronavirus outbreak. COVID-19 has led to more than 27,300 deaths worldwide.

That said, he also isn’t opposed to getting in-game action with Green Bay’s offense. He just wants to make sure that if he does, it is meaningful. The 38-year-old quarterback explained at Packers training camp Tuesday that if he plays in the preseason, he wants to play more than just one series. Why? Because he doesn’t believe that type of limited action is beneficial, per ESPN. “I’m not saying this to send a message to Matt; I’ve already told Matt the same thing,” Rodgers later added....

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has said the election should be held, then whoever is victorious should put forward who they feel ought to take the vacant seat. Republicans have argued that constitutionally, Trump is within his rights to put his choice forward—though they have faced accusations of hypocrisy over previous stances on presidents putting Supreme Court nominations so near to an election. Trump’s nomination being a conservative justice place such figures in the majority, with Democrats perhaps then looking at means to counter this imbalance....

Tatis got his first chance when he led off the game with a home run against the right-hander at Dodger Stadium.

The wicketkeeper was struck on a finger on which he has had several operations since breaking it in 2010. He required treatment from Australia’s physio and had the digit strapped up as his side fell to a 31-run loss in the first match of a four-game series in Adelaide. However, Paine is adamant there is no reason for concern, saying in answer to a question about the injury: “No doubt....

Yet he was. Or rather he probably was. Until the day he died last week, at the age of 92, Hiss insisted he was innocent, but the evidence of his guilt is stronger. The notion that someone so seemingly irreproachable was stealing secrets for the Kremlin helped launch the Red Scare and made Richard Nixon a national figure. The debate over whether Hiss had been somehow set up by overzealous Red hunters flared and sputtered for 50 years, illuminating class and ideological divides in one of the great melodramas of the American Century....

Goalless at home and winless overall, The Terriers came up against the leakiest defence in the league. That proved to be the difference as Huddersfield Town edged Fulham by a solitary goal. A Timothy Fosu-Mensah own goal in the first half proved to be more than enough for the hosts as they earned vital three points from a game much deemed as a six-pointer. The win lifted the home side to 18th and put The Cottagers bottom....

— The NFL Preseason was pronounced dead in the early hours of Aug. 30, 2019. Though it was considered to be at least 100 years old along with the league itself, the current format began in 1967, when teams played six Preseason games. The Preseason was an avid existentialist. When friends would ask, “What’s the point of these meaningless games?” the NFL Preseason would answer, “The Preseason is not meaningless....

On November 12, 1991, Kulb’s body was discovered strangled to death in a wooded area in Chadd’s Ford, about 25 miles southwest of Philadelphia. According to the Delaware County Daily Times, the initial investigation revealed that the body had been moved after death. Kulb had reportedly moved into the apartment of then-boyfriend Theodore Donahue on October 1, but moved out just two weeks later. Police interviewed Donohue, who admitted he and Kulb had purchased crack on October 18 but were soon robbed at knifepoint....

These are words commonly echoed in the football (not soccer!) world. Words I may have spouted a few hundred times on the day of that famous Aguerooooooo! moment. Words I do not believe. With an objective perspective, we’re a herd of men and women with an irrational attachment towards a game filled with moments of exploding emotion, that only fans of our game can understand the magnitude of, through context and blind love....

Begun in the 1970s, the airport radiates out from under a bold, futuristic geodesic dome and is connected to an enormous hexagonal mosque that can accommodate up to 5,000 worshipers, with a courtyard big enough for an additional 4,000. The budget for the entire complex exceeded $3.2 billion, and it took more than 10 years to complete. It’s one of the many large-scale development projects the Saudi government has been able to undertake, thanks to a gargantuan stream of oil revenue that shows no sign of drying up any time soon....

Dear Rahul, I doubt, I know a person who hates you. Over the years, I have met some of your most ardent fans and also people who may not be completely in your awe but still respect you to a great extent.

Blonde has become one of the most anticipated movies of the year, with a reportedly stellar performance by de Armas. The film is based on famed author Joyce Carol Oates’ novel about the life of troubled Hollywood icon Monroe. Although it is a Netflix project, the streamer is putting its full weight behind a marketing campaign and limited theatrical screenings in film festivals and major cities, all of which are undoubtedly intended to increase the film’s chances to win big at the next Academy Awards....
