Will Bret Bielema be coming with him? With media days coming up fast for the 2018 college football season, Bielema is one of the coaches who will be missed most this season.

In a recent appearance on The 81 Podcast, The Hitman described what he perceived to be Triple H’s mistreatment of the former WWE Intercontinental Champion Shamrock when the pair worked together. Hart said he felt The Game simply didn’t like Shamrock and that he was “always criticizing” the former UFC fighter and talking about him in a negative light. Here’s what Bret Hart had to say about Triple H’s treatment of Ken Shamrock:...

The Brewers third baseman told reporters Friday that he’ll likely retire after the 2015 season. Ramirez, 36, has battled injury and seen his production decline the last two seasons. He hit .285/.330/.427 last season, two years after he posted a .901 OPS and an NL-leading 50 doubles in his first season in Milwaukee. The three-time All-Star has spent his entire career in the NL Central. He was called up to the Pirates in 1998 as a 20-year-old, and his best years came with the Cubs, as he posted six consecutive years with an OPS of ....

It was a series defined on the field by dominant Milwaukee pitching. Off the field, however, it was defined by a fun, loose Brewers team with a chip on its shoulder — a group that perhaps sees itself as the team to beat in the NL Central. Add it all up and it made for Milwaukee’s first sweep of the Cubs in Chicago since 2002, as the Brewers sent a message that they plan to be the team on Lake Michigan that plays October baseball....

The first thing that comes to mind when you think of Brian Lara’s batting is his high backlift and the way he played the pull shot on one leg. Although the West Indian star has played many memorable innings in Test cricket, the one innings that can never be forgotten and is now a part of cricketing folklore is the unbeaten 153 against Australia at Barbados in 1999. Here’s how it unfolded…...

Although it bears Farris’ name in the byline, The Fury could easily be a Stephen King story. Kirk Douglas stars as an ex-CIA badass who teams up with a teenage psychic to liberate his telekinetic son from the terrorists who want to use his power for evil. This pulpy sci-fi thriller premise could’ve easily belonged to a King novel. The Fury has the telekinetic teen protagonist of Carrie, the men-in-black paranoia of Firestarter, the curse of clairvoyance from The Dead Zone, and the race-against-time adventure of 11/22/63....

Since returning from a one-year hiatus at UFC 214, Ortega has transformed from an unbeaten prospect with vast potential into the top contender in the 145-pound weight division; a soft-spoken, blue-eyed assassin who faces Max Holloway for the featherweight title in the main event of UFC 231 this weekend in “The Six.” Join DAZN and watch more than 100 fight nights a year During that span, the 27-year-old has rallied to beat underrated Brazilian Renato Moicano, choked out veteran Cub Swanson, and knocked out Frankie Edgar, becoming the first to stop the perennial contender and former lightweight champion, making it clear that not only was he the only man deserving of the opportunity to face the Hawaiian champion for the title, but also that he has the skill and the will to end “The Blessed Era” before it really gets going....

I was the last kid in my class to make the leap from black and white. I was, more than any kid I knew, obsessed and fascinated at what television had to offer, and the places it could take me. I grew up in the blue glow of the television, in a home where dinner could not be served until the nightly news was over. I noted early on that more often than not, the flicker of light against the window in Mrs....

Weddings are undoubtedly stressful affairs for the bride and groom. A 2020 survey by Zola found that 72 percent of couples said they were either “very” or “extremely” stressed during the planning stages for their big day. However, as important as a wedding might be to those involved, it’s not a matter of life and death and a little perspective is always important. But one wedding bride called Delaney appears to have overstepped the mark in the most extreme way possible ahead of her nuptials after lambasting her 13-year-old cousin, who was set to serve as flower girl, for shaving her head....

Chick lit is growing up. In 1998 a wise-cracking, boy-crazy British career girl named Bridget Jones took publishing by storm and spawned dozens of imitators. Now a new breed of fictional heroine is bringing Bridget’s wry humor and brutal candor not to dating but to motherhood; publishers call the new genre “mommy lit.” So far this summer, “Babyville,” Danielle Crittenden’s “Amanda Bright@Home” and Adele Parks’s “Larger Than Life” have hit bookstores with the same candy-colored covers as their chick-lit cousins....

“Ambassadors and their staff will now have to be much more circumspect, and that will be costly for national security,” Brett Bruen, former director of global engagement in the White House under former President Barack Obama, told Newsweek. “There won’t be honest assessments included in those cables, which are the most widely consumed form of communication from overseas.” “You will still have video conferences and calls on secure lines, but those don’t get the same distribution,” Bruen added, noting that no ambassadors resigned or were kicked out of their jobs after Wikileaks leaked a cache of diplomatic cables in 2010....
