Briscoe passed away following his involvement in a fatal collision with another vehicle that killed the other driver and left Jay’s two daughters with serious injuries. Upon hearing the news of Jay’s passing, WWE decided to scrap a planned segment for The New Day on the January 17 edition of NXT. Instead, commentators Vic Joseph and Booker T sent their thoughts and prayers to Jay’s family. So who was responsible for making the important call?...

The Associated Press and Fox News called Arizona for Biden on election night, but CNN has held off saying it is too early to call the state’s race. As of Thursday morning, Biden is leading in Arizona by around 70,000 votes—but the president narrowed his lead in the Republican stronghold as more votes were tallied. So if Trump ultimately secure Arizona’s 11 electoral college votes, it could make Biden’s path to 270 trickier....

As an emergency-room nurse, I’m constantly forced to shuffle the needs of the sick and injured. At that particular moment, half of my 12 patients were screaming for pain medication, most of the others needed to be rushed off to tests and one was desperately trying not to die on me. Was that blanket important in the grand scheme of things? Not really. She wasn’t going to die without it....

Barcelona forward Boateng played alongside Ibrahimovic for two seasons at AC Milan between 2010 and 2012, before the Sweden international joined Paris Saint-Germain. Ibrahimovic now plays in MLS with LA Galaxy and was involved in a fracas with former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha during a 2-1 win over Real Salt Lake on Sunday. Galaxy’s winner came courtesy of Ibrahimovic, who then appeared to goad Onuoha during his celebrations....

Excited for a likely postseason appearance, yes, but also for what that means: An epic tribute montage is probably on the way. MORE: 10 greatest Cubs of all time The tribute montage is the ultimate sports-TV celebration of success: the season’s best highlights, many in slow motion, played over a thematically appropriate though often syrupy song designed to fill you with nostalgia, excitement and hope. A stroll through YouTube shows that the Cubs have had some doozies....

After the 2020 tournament was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the IIHF Men’s World Championship is back in 2021. Sixteen teams will compete in the 17-day tourney set to take place in Latvia. Normally a way for NHLers who don’t make the postseason to continue plying their trade, the 2021 tournament is jam-packed with youngsters aiming to prove their NHL worth, including a number of prospects set to be drafted in July....

The temporary initiatives are scheduled to begin on July 1. The grocery relief is due to last a year until June 2023, while the gas relief is scheduled to remain in place for six months until the end of this year. The scheme is part of Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker’s plan to tackle the soaring prices and record inflation hitting the U.S. as a result of global issues, such as the war in Ukraine and the effects of the pandemic....

The basic idea behind an open-world game is that players are able to explore the full world without it being segmented. That was the hope for Pokemon Legends: Arceus, but the game’s newly released in-game map shows that’s unlikely. The map shows the environment of Pokemon Legends: Arceus split into different regions, each with its own borders meant to distinguish it from its neighbors.

“My immediate job is ensure that India returns to Olympic fold and our athletes take part in international events under the national flag,” he said. Ramchandran said the newly elected IOA office bearers will be in charge for three years till 2016 unless the IOC extends the term by another 12 months. “Under the rules, the term is from Olympic year to Olympic year.

Glenn Spencer, a Sherman Oaks grandfather, expresses his distress by hanging a California flag upside down on a wall inside his hillside home. Three years ago he launched a local citizens group to fight California’s illegal alien “invasion.” Proposition 187 passed, but Spencer is not appeased. Now he has a new target: after the L.A. school board approved a lawsuit helping to block Prop 187, he launched a recall election against its president....

Titled Immigration and Entrepreneurship in the United States, the study, published by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), found that immigrants tend to play “relatively large roles as employers, rather than employees, compared to U.S.-born individuals.” “People want to think of immigrants as coming into the economy and maybe not having very many skills and not having a positive impact on the economy,” Benjamin Jones, a professor of strategy at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University involved in the study, told Newsweek on Tuesday....

In March 2021, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported it encountered more than 173,348 persons attempting entry along the Southwest border. The total represented a 71 percent increase over February 2021. April—the last month with official numbers available—saw an even higher figure when 178,622 individuals were detained after trying to enter the border. That makes April’s figures the highest level since April 2020, when more than 180,000 attempted crossing the Southwest border....

Ubisoft released Imortals Fenyx Rising in December of last year, and the third-person action RPG was well received by critics upon release. It was followed by two different DLCs, with the second, Myths of the Eastern Realm, bringing a new protagonist and pantheon of gods to the game as it was eschewed the base game’s Greek mythology for Chinese. RELATED: Rainbow Six Siege Operation North Star Leaks As much as Myths of the Eastern Realm was a large step for Immortals Fenyx Rising, The Lost Gods looks to be even more so....

With Jarrett’s leave of absence from the company, due to personal reasons, it seems likely that the company has moved away from brand GFW. This was further indicated by the message on social media, put up by the current Knockouts Champion, Sienna. In case you didn’t know… There have been a whole host of changes in the management and nomenclature of TNA/Impact Wrestling/GFW over the past year, and all of them are far too many to list here....

We were told to expect a match between the Lucha Bros and the Cult of Lee, a heavyweight clash between Brian Cage and Kongo Kong, and that Fallah Bahh and KM had a big plan to shock the Impact Wrestling fans! We got all of those things and much more as another match is made official for Impact Wrestling’s big upcoming pay-per-view Bound for Glory, and Austin Aries ends up defending his Impact World Title in the main event...

The stipulation was simple: the one who eats the pin wears the turkey suit. A throwback recap of Turkey Bowl 2008 aired next that included Alex Shelly, Shawn Daivari, and Rhyno. Mick Foley – who was the on-air authority figure back then – had to come out to force Shelly into wearing the turkey suit after the latter lost the match after a Ryhno Gore. The recap was followed by a backstage segment that featured Jeremy Borash orchestrating a draw to figure out the competitors for tonight’s 5-on-5 Turkey Bowl match....

We saw two Knockouts matches tonight, including the main event which saw the in-ring return of Tenille Dashwood. Along with Kaleb Konley, Dashwood would face Jordynne Grace, hoping to elevate herself in the division by knocking off the former IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Champion. It wasn’t just the IMPACT World Champion that had a message to send. The X-Division Champion would face the winner of a Triple Threat that opened the show....

Throughout the night, IMPACT fans were treated to special interviews and behind the scenes discussions at the wedding, all the while getting their weekly dose of action in the ring. This week’s show kicked off with what seemed to be LAX, who had officially left the company as of last week. LAX’s music hit to kick off the show, and though the fans were initially excited to see the four-time tag team champions make a surprise appearance, they were immediately deflated once they realized it was the North rocking LAX gear with their titles around their necks....

Not least from the president himself, who shared an image of himself to his 67.7 million followers on Twitter in the wake of yesterday’s vote with the caption: “In reality they’re not after me, they’re after you, I’m just in the way.” Today, #Trump2020 became a trending topic. Memes were not limited to one side of the political divide, with images shared with hashtags such as #ImpeachmentDay and #ImpeachmentVote....

Initially announced to have a standalone movie back in 2014, The Batman has been in the production pipeline for quite some time. While Ben Affleck was initially set to produce, direct, and star in the film, this was walked back after the less-than-stellar response to 2017’s Justice League. It was later announced in 2017 that Matt Reeves, a longtime Batman fan, would be directing the new movie. Reeves went back to the drawing board, working on a new script and changing the story to be about a younger Batman in only his second year of donning the cape and cowl....
