Fans have wondered how comic book-accurate Bale’s character in Thor: Love and Thunder will be for a while now. The closest they have come to seeing the final live-action look of Gorr the God Butcher was in images of Bale that were taken on set and leaked online, which then went viral on social media. He was seen wearing a gray, flowy outfit and had prosthetic makeup on that made him almost unrecognizable....
Against the Avalanche, Ovechkin put the Caps up 3-2 in the third period when he dragged past Tyson Barrie, fired a shot off the Pepsi Center boards and beat Reto Berra. (GIFs via @myregularface) It was Ovechkin’s ninth goal of the season and, as @JapersRink mentioned on Twitter, bears a decent resemblance to the best goal of his career, back in 2006. It started the same way, at least. Let’s watch it again....

In May, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt announced the program that offered a $1,200 cash stipend for the first 20,000 people working full time for 32 hours per week to return to work. “The agency is continuing to focus on providing benefits to those in need, while also focusing on connecting job seekers with employment opportunities through our re-employment services and upcoming career fairs,” OESC Executive Director Shelley Zumwalt said in a press release....
Members of the panel expressed doubts over the evidence used to prosecute Jones, 41, in the 1999 death of businessman Paul Howell. Jones continues to maintain his innocence, alleging he was framed by a former co-defendant through planted evidence, such as a bandanna and the gun used to kill Howell. “I continue to believe there is still doubt in this case,” said board member Kelly Doyle. The decision by the Pardon and Parole Board comes after Jones’ clemency hearing on Monday....

The Gosford side created chances and had hope of securing a result away to Melbourne Victory until Besart Berisha’s 79th minute goal decided the AAMI Park encounter. Berisha makes A-League history While his team will need at least one favour to avoid a second consecutive wooden spoon, the Mariners boss believes the construction of a more competitive outfit is already underway. “The work started when I took over here,” Okon told Fox Sports....
By Tuesday night, Olbermann had named the older Sestito The Worst Person in the Sports World. No big deal, though — Olbermann hands that out every night, albeit usually without using the phrase "boxing hobo." Anyway, the Sestitos didn't appreciate it and silliness ensued. Steve Lepore has the whole thing covered at Awful Announcing, but Victoria Sestito, in at least some fashion, got the last word. Also, and again, she is 13....
Avowed fans have gone without updates long enough to accept that no news is good news. However, Obsidian isn’t staying completely quiet. At E3 2021, it appeared in Microsoft’s conference to reveal The Outer Worlds 2. Fans of Obsidian’s recent spacefaring RPG wanted a sequel, and now they’ve got it. As exciting as the game is for fans of The Outer Worlds, though, it raises questions about where Obsidian’s priorities lie....
Odell Beckham Jr. is nearing a return to the field after suffering an ACL injury in Super Bowl 56, and he has several suitors for his services, including the Bills, 49ers and maybe a reunion with the Rams.

The Odisha Lions have played some amazing cricket in this year’s competition, but have been inconsistent in patches. They managed to turn things around recently and have won their last two games. The Lions have four wins in their last five matches and they beat the Odisha Jaguars by 7 wickets in their previous match. The Odisha Cheetahs managed to end their three-game losing streak in their previous game. They have won two of their last five matches, including a victory against the Odisha Pumas last time out....
This one goes hands down to Diane Ladd, who in “Wild at Heart” covered her face in red lipstick, then vomited. Ladd, an Oscar nominee for supporting actress, sent Academy voters a long personal letter telling them to vote for you-know-who. The Donald would be proud. Special kudos also to “The Russia House,” which waged a huge Oscar campaign for itself but received no nominations. Failure is easy, but spectacular failure is quite an accomplishment, which is why “Havana,” “The Two Jakes” and “The Bonfire of the Vanities” deserve entree into the flop pantheon....

Benfica playing hardball with Lindelof sale Barton joins on a deal until the end of the season, with the news announced shortly after Burnley’s 2-1 Premier League defeat at Manchester City on Monday. The outspoken 34-year-old was a key member of Sean Dyche’s side as Burnley topped the Championship last season, but opted for a switch to Ibrox rather than make his return to the Premier League. His stay in Glasgow was short-lived, however, after he was suspended for three weeks for a training-ground spat with team-mate Andy Halliday in the aftermath of the 5-1 Old Firm defeat to rivals Celtic in September....
The 20 richest clubs in the world The 27-year-old, who is Tony Pulis’ first signing of the transfer window, has agreed a four-and-a-half-year contract at The Hawthorns. “In Jake we have brought in a very, very good player,” Pulis told the club’s official website. “I watched him a lot when he was at Tottenham and thought he would go on to establish himself as a top-six player. “Maybe he has just drifted away a little from that – although having said that two promotions and a cup final with Hull should not be forgotten....
