Bale added to the growing belief that he is currently the best player in the Premier League with a superb free-kick to open the scoring early in the first half. The Wales winger then bagged the late winner after Yoan Gouffran had equalised with his first Premier League goal for Newcastle....
Last month, after Judge Brenda Penny granted Britney Spears’ request to be allowed to appoint an attorney of her own choosing, the singer’s new representation, former federal prosecutor Matthew Rosengart, filed a 120-page petition to Los Angeles Superior Court requesting that her father be removed as her conservator. Before that filing, Rosengart suggested publically that her father should remove himself. On Thursday, Mr. Spears’ lawyers filed court documents doing just that....
Alexander, 40, recorded himself breaking into the star’s Southern California property on Instagram live as wedding preparations were underway for Spears’ nuptials with Sam Asghari, before being apprehended by security, whom he battered. “She’s my first wife, my only wife,” said Alexander at the time. “I’m her first husband… I’m here to crash the wedding.” Spears and childhood friend Alexander tied the knot during a visit to Las Vegas in 2004, though their union annulled just 55 hours later....
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny decided to grant the singer’s request to end the conservatorship during a Friday afternoon hearing.

The pop superstar, 39, took to Instagram to share footage of herself having her first ever flying lesson, hours after a judge suspended her father, Jamie Spears, from her 13-year conservatorship.

The result left bottom side Sunderland with 20 points from 29 matches, seven adrift of safety, while Watford moved up to 10th with 34 points. The home side were ahead on 59 minutes when Britos headed home at the back post. Stefano Okaka had headed a corner goalwards, but Sunderland’s Fabio Borini deflected it on to the crossbar, only for Craig Cathcart to send the rebound to the back post where Britos rose above Jack Rodwell to score....
With no live sports going on right now in the U.S. due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, a virtual tournament is a logical way to keep fans occupied. For stretches of action on Friday and Sunday, the competition was tons of fun, particularly in games such as the one between Donovan Mitchell and Rui Hachimura that stayed close the whole way. The TV production lacked in key areas, though, holding back a promising concept....
Qualifying has been impacted at the year’s first grand slam due to poor air quality, with organisers facing criticism for letting play go ahead despite the conditions. Slovenian Dalila Jakupovic retired during her match due to breathing difficulties, with the air quality in Melbourne in the ‘very poor’ range on Tuesday as smoke from bushfires in Australia cause havoc. Broady, who was beaten in qualifying on the same day, hit out at organisers amid concerns over player welfare....
Sam Bradford’s agent, Tom Condon, said the Broncos contacted the Eagles about acquiring the quarterback, but the two teams were unable to work out a deal.

One fan’s trip to Japan might have confirmed that at least one part of Breath of the Wild actually does exist in the real world, however. A recent submission to Kotaku UK from an unnamed photographer shows a picture of a mountain on Japan’s Sado Island, and the rock formation will look extraordinarily similar to players who have sunk a lot of time into Breath of the Wild’s world. Check out the real world picture compared with what appears to be the homage paid to it in Breath of the Wild:...
As fans would know, a 100% run of Breath of the Wild is an impressive feat in itself. Even before the Champions Ballad DLC, Hyrule’s map contains 76 sidequests, 84 bosses, 120 shrines, and infamously, 900 Korok seeds. This is on top of main story content, such as conquering all four Divine Beasts, finding all 12 hidden memories, and of course, defeating Calamity Ganon itself. The concept of doing this all without taking any damage sounds ludicrous, but one speedrunner viewed the idea as a worthy challenge....
After completing Breath of the Wild’s tutorial area on The Great Plateau, players meet up with the old man who had been guiding them up to that point. He will tell them a brief introduction to what has happened to Hyrule in the last 100 years, and the story is told on a piece of tapestry. On the tapestry is an image depicting Calamity Gano fighting Link, surrounded by the autonomous Guardians, and the Divine Beasts in the four corners with Hyrule Castle on the top....
Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman, was fatally shot after Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) officers said they tried to serve a warrant to her Louisville apartment on March 13. The circumstances surrounding her death have been under investigation for months and remain the subject of an ongoing Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case. A grand jury announced last week that it decided to indict one officer involved in the incident with three felony counts of wanton endangerment....
Struggling with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, Knebel will have the season-ending procedure in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The 2017 All-Star had been dealing with the injury since 2014, when he was a member of the Detroit Tigers. He had not pitched in spring training since March 17, when he reported discomfort in his elbow. “Right now, I’m 27, and I think it’s better to do it now than wait until later,” Knebel said....
Now, though, we realize Saladino is a machine in those situations despite his measly .227 career batting average or 19 home runs in 319 games. He hit a game-tying grand slam Sunday against the Diamondbacks, then followed it up with another one to take the lead in the eighth inning Monday against the Reds.

Garza completed a four-year contract with Milwaukee on Sunday, strengthening the top of the rotation and boosting the Brewers' hopes following a disappointing season. The deal includes an option and performance bonuses that could make it worth up to $67 million over five years. General manager Doug Melvin called Garza an "established, top-of-the-rotation pitcher." "The thing about signing Matt now, it gives us a lot more depth and, as you know, during a baseball season, you never use five starters," Melvin said....
Bill Belichick was a person of interest this offseason with Flores, sending now-infamous text messages to Flores that seemed to paint Brian Daboll as the Giants’ choice for head coach before Flores even interviewed for the position. The text messages were unveiled in Flores’ lawsuit against the NFL, which cites racial discrimination, among other things. Flores explained how crucial those texts were to his lawsuit in an appearance with “I Am Athlete”: MORE: Brian Flores’ lawsuit, explained...
“On the road,” Kelly said. “We’ll hit the road immediately, recruit and rally back here mid-May.” Notre Dame can’t go 4-8 again. Kelly can’t go 4-8 again. The Blue-Gold Game showed the look of a team that won’t go 4-8 again. A fan in the stands on Saturday even reminded Kelly of that 4-8 record in not-so-endearing terms. Don’t worry. Notre Dame will do better than 4-8 with the talent it brings back....
In an admirable move, Ortega then decided to give away his entire earnings to the fighters on Team Volkanovski. Explaining the motivation behind his decision, Brian Ortega said: Take a look at the young fighters being overwhelmed by Ortega’s generosity from the six-minute mark of the video.
