But now, after defeating the Rangers (and old goaltending partner Henrik Lundqvist) 2-1 at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, he may only keep an eye out for those games. “[I] haven’t beaten [them] since I’ve been traded,” noted Talbot, who made 23 saves in the victory. “These two games are always circled on the calendar for me, so now I got this one out of the way, I can just go back to it being just another game for me....
Billy Donovan’s has also been able to call upon the veteran Raymond Felton, who has impressed when called upon during his two-year spell in Oklahoma City.

The U.S. repeatedly blocked the U.N. Security Council’s attempt to issue a press release calling for an end to hostilities between Israel and Hamas, which controls Gaza, according to the Associated Press.

Beckham suffered a torn ACL during Super Bowl LVI while playing for the Rams and has since become a free agent after deciding to rehabilitate on his own rather than a rehab facility at a specific team. While Beckham has visited a few teams over the past weeks, pictures of him being seen at the New York Giants training facility raised a lot of eyebrows, since he was originally drafted by the team in 2014....
The England international spent last season on loan at Bournemouth, making 27 appearances in all competitions but has found playing time very hard to come by since returning to the Emirates Stadium.

The mostly-student audience in a nation better known for its buttoned-down reserve clapped, cheered and offered standing ovations as Jackson launched a new charity-Heal the Kids-in the historic city on Tuesday night. Its aim: to try to redefine childhood and inject innocence back into our youth.

Well, by seventh grade, he probably will. And Sayers probably cared a little more than she let on. Everyone does to some degree. But the events of last week are reminders that sex, greed, ambition–all the usual suspects–don’t take us very far in understanding human motivation. The aberrant behavior of Hillary and Martha and Howell and Sammy plumb different depths. While their weaknesses vary in scope and seriousness, they share not just prodigious talent but an irrational obtuseness about themselves and the people around them, a striking level of self-deception....
Busken Bakery chain, in Cincinnati, says it has been predicting the results using the sales of its red and blue election cookies, over more than 30 years. While phone polls and exit polls have been wrong in the past, it seems Busken Bakery – in swing state Ohio – has found a winning formula.
