Personally, the foremost blemish that I’d say Dhoni has committed, and doesn’t seem to have learned is that he hasn’t been prepared to make tough decisions. I am not talking about Dhoni taking gambles in match situations, and the repercussions that come out of those decisions, but how much is he prepared to juggle with the squad at hand? Yes, there are going to be certain players, who have a decrease/increase in their performance level from one series to another, but a string of failures needs to be addressed, and I am not so sure whether that is happening with our captain marvel....

Brie and Nikki Bella represent the so-called “Divas Era” from 2007 to 2015 where the focus at that time was more on glamorous looks and less on in-ring skill. There is no room for Divas in the current environment of the WWE Women’s Division. The change began in the summer of 2012 when Triple H replaced John Laurinaitis as WWE’s Head of Talent. At that time, most of the female roster were mainly former swimsuit and fitness models such as Kelly Kelly and Layla, while the likes of AJ Lee and Natalya were legitimate wrestlers....

Data from the U.S. Drought Monitor shows that while 97.93 percent of California is experiencing some degree of drought, the remaining 2.07 percent is only classified as “abnormally dry.” These small slivers of drought-free land are in the northern county of Del Norte on the Oregon border, and in the south, spanning Imperial County and a tiny section of Riverside County. As recently as October 4, 2022, only 0.23 percent of the state was drought-free....

In the NBA, concussions are treated on a case-by-case basis — the result of a new policy implemented by the league prior to the 2017-18 season. As such, a number of factors including the results of baseline testing and acute evaluation play a large role in how each player’s injury is handled.

“We lost a lot of women and a lot of college-educated. We want to bring them back in and expand the tent,” she said. “January 6 was a tough day, and the actions of the president since election day were not his finest, and [that] troubles me greatly because I’m really proud of the successes of the Trump administration, whether it was foreign policy or domestic policy. [But] the actions of the president, post election day, were not great....

Jones and Barrett announced self-imposed social media breaks before the first day of fall camp. Game on, right? Here’s where Jones and Barrett stand after one practice, and what to expect the rest of the way. Can you flip a coin? Ohio State quarterbacks coach Tim Beck flipped a coin in the meeting room before practice to determine who got the first team rep Monday. Jones called heads and won....

Third-year coach P.J. Fleck led the Gophers to what could be a program-changing victory at home. Tanner Morgan (18 of 20, 339 yards, three touchdowns) led the way, and Jordan Howden came up with the game-clinching interception in the final minute. Minnesota (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten) should move up the College Football Playoff rankings as a result.

Future records will show the Orange beat the Boilermakers at the JMA Wireless Dome. In reality, a series of horrible miscues on Syracuse’s final offensive drive — all of them Purdue penalties — allowed the home team to escape with a victory. The trouble began, somehow, on a go-ahead touchdown by the Boilermakers with 57 seconds remaining in the game. Aidan O’Connell gave Purdue a 29-25 lead with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Payne Durham....

Some of it was unwanted. The offseason began with an overwhelming supply of worry, as general manager Dennis Lindsey and head coach Quin Snyder attempted to keep star forward Gordon Hayward from heading east. Their first move was replacing point guard George Hill. When they did this, it was clear what direction they wanted to go in.

He has drawn in a lot of criticism throughout his time in charge of the company. However, one thing that he has also achieved is in making WWE the largest professional wrestling company in the world by far. Whether he is in the right or in the wrong, discussion in professional wrestling and WWE revolves around the decisions taken by Vince McMahon. Being the successful wrestling promoter that he is, one of the questions that get asked the most often by fans, is how much does Vince McMahon make?...

Need for Speed Unbound returns to the street racing that characterized the series during the 2000s. It also features a focus on characters which is something that became more prevalent during the 2010s. The two elements are blended well, resulting in an addictive racing game.

As usual the transfer window has been dominated by the big clubs. The back pages are filled with rumours of ins and outs at the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea.

In a statement on Thursday, Buckingham Palace announced that Queen Elizabeth II died and said, “The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.” At the time of her death, 96-year-old Queen Elizabeth II was Britain’s longest-reigning queen.

On Tuesday, Representative Pramila Jayapal, chairwoman of the caucus and the letter’s principal author, retracted the letter and said that it had been drafted months before it was published “but unfortunately was released by staff without vetting,” admitting bad timing. “Because of the timing, our message is being conflated by some as being equivalent to the recent statement by Republican Leader [Kevin] McCarthy threatening an end to aid to Ukraine if Republicans take over,” she wrote....

Crocodile wanted to get his hands on Pluton, which is considered to be the greatest warship in history. It is deemed to be powerful enough to decimate an entire island. With such ridiculous power, there is no wonder why multiple characters are trying to get their hands on one of the Ancient Weapons. So far only one Ancient Weapon has been shown, and it is Poseidon. Unlike Pluton, Poseidon is actually a living being....

In the previous two games, State of Decay’s horror elements were rather toned down, with the games leaning into the survival aspect. This means scarce loot, plenty of exploring, and a lot of enemies to provide an obstacle to the player’s accumulation of resources. However, the latter point ended up being one of the less believable elements of the game, the endless zombie hordes ripping the player from their immersion....

The two titles have similarities from their atmospheres to elements of their plots and even those plots’ execution in-game. Here are all of the ways that System Shock really can be considered BioShock in space, and why the game is still worth playing 27 years after its release....

While a final decision is yet to be issued in the case that could undo almost 50 years of precedent, the stage appears set for abortion rights to be rolled back across vast swathes of the country. Researchers say that about half of U.S. states are certain or likely to ban abortion if the Supreme Court strikes down Roe, the landmark 1973 ruling that established the right to terminate a pregnancy before fetal viability....
