He was feeling especially happy to get a victory at MetLife Stadium, something he only did 15 times in five years with the Giants. “I’ve lost enough games here, so to leave here with a win is a good feeling,” Beckham said. The Giants traded Beckham to the Browns one season after the wide receiver signed a five-year, $95 million deal with New York. His time with the Giants was plagued by losing and injuries as New York went 31-49 in his time on the team and 25-34 with him on the field....

OBJ might as well save his breath, because he is not going anywhere — except on vacation in two weeks when Cleveland’s season ends far shy of expectations. Beckham is going to have to sit tight for at least one more year unless another team makes a trade offer that’s too good for Browns general manager John Dorsey to refuse. Which is unlikely given Beckham’s reputation as a diva personality who will second-guess his coaches....

The Browns wide receiver will not be playing in a competitive game until September. He did not have any speaking engagements scheduled. Yet Beckham has been a leading sports news story since LSU won the College Football Playoff championship game Monday. His decision to hand out money to winning players put his college team in hot water with the NCAA. Now he could be in trouble as well — New Orleans police issued him an arrest warrant Thursday after he slapped a security guard’s rear end in an incident captured on camera....

Beckham struggled in his first season in Cleveland after joining the Browns in a blockbuster trade with the New York Giants. The three-time Pro Bowler and wide receiver, who played through injury before undergoing core muscle surgery in January, caught 74 passes for 1,035 yards and four touchdowns as the Browns missed the playoffs amid high expectations. As Beckham rehabilitates, the 27-year-old is predicting big things in 2020, saying via his YouTube channel: “Right now what I’m trying to do is hit the reset button....

The nationals, the main platform for catching the eye of selectors for a place in the Indian senior team, could not have come to a better conclusion, says iconic footballer Oinam Bembem Devi. “We have nine national team players in the first team, and Odisha is full of U-19 footballers. What better than to see the next generation of footballers playing against their senior counterparts in a Cup final,” Bembem, who’s captaining Manipur said....

Odisha Tigers are currently fourth in the Odisha T20 points table courtesy of four wins from nine games. They are coming off a loss in their previous game against Odisha Pumas. However, with a win over the Odisha T20 table-toppers, the Tigers will guarantee themselves a place in the semis. But a defeat in this Odisha T20 game will mean they will have to hope Odisha Cheetahs lose their last game against Odisha Pumas....

Hmmmm, I wonder whom you’ve been talking to? A salesperson for load funds? My, my. Who would have guessed? A “load” is another word for sales commission, and I’m happy to pay it to brokers or planners who give smart advice. But I see red if I’m misled, and in your case I’m practically seeing crimson. First, some basics. Load funds can charge commissions three ways: (1) an upfront load, deducted from your investment when you buy; (2) a back-end load, subtracted from your proceeds if you sell within five to seven years; (3) a 12b-1 fee–a percentage of assets paid annually out of your fund account to cover sales and marketing costs....

[HTML1] It may not have been Ubisoft’s best-kept secret, but the publisher has finally unveiled Assassin’s Creed Rogue with a cinematic trailer and some early details. While next-gen owners prepare to lead a revolution in Paris, France, those still sticking to the Xbox 360 and PS3 can look forward to another North American sailing adventure - one based on betrayal, revenge, and a less-than-tropical climate. Prior rumors suggested that not only would the game bear the title Rogue (a telling decision we’ll get to in a moment), but that it would bridge the gap between Assassin’s Creed 3 and Black Flag, which seems to indeed be the case....

Dembele shuts down Chelsea rumours The youngster has been linked with a move to several top clubs in the past after becoming West Ham’s youngest ever player when he made his debut at just 16 years and 198 days. However, the 18-year-old committed his future to the Hammers by signing a new four-and-a-half-year deal at the club back in December, which has dampened speculation. Oxford has made just two appearances for West Ham this season, both in the Europa League, and will now spend the rest of the season with Jaap Stam’s side in search of regular football....

Bradley Smith, 63, and his son, 28-year-old Andrew Smith, had been hunting with a group of friends south of the city of Delaware, in Ohio’s Delaware County, when the shooting took place on December 2, The Columbus Dispatch reported. The father apparently shot his son after mistaking him for a deer at dusk, Tracy Whited, a spokesperson for the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office, told the newspaper.

Tawauna Averette, who had six children and was pregnant with a seventh, became ill with coronavirus earlier in the fall. When her symptoms worsened she was admitted to hospital where doctors performed an emergency c-section. Her daughter was delivered safely, but that would be the only time Averette saw the newborn.

Glenn Goss Jr., who worked in the city of Rossford, resigned Tuesday after Emily Hackler posted screenshots of messages he sent her, accusing him of harassment. Hackler said that Goss, who is the son of the city’s former police chief, followed her part of the way home from the gym and later messaged her directly. “So some creep decided to follow me on my way home from planet fitness. Turns out he works for the rossford police department and used my plate number to figure out who I was, to message me personally and tell me how hot I was....

On Monday, Urban Meyer talked further about Barrett’s punishment and it contained an eye opener. HAYES: If you don’t know who Meyer is by now, it’s your own fault Along with the one-game suspension, Meyer told reporters that Barrett would forfeit “his scholarship for one term.” Of course, Barrett is a third-year player at Ohio State and it’s possible that he could leave for the NFL after this season and not be around for his summer semester....

He remains quite the presence for the Los Angeles Angels. Ohtani’s two-out walk helped set up a dramatic 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night in the opening game of the Freeway Series. The Angels were down to their last strike in the ninth inning when Ohtani battled back from a 0-2 count all the way to a walk against Kenley Jansen (0-2). Ohtani then stole second and advanced to third on catcher Yasmani Grandal’s throwing error before David Fletcher hit a tying RBI single to left....

Advocates say anti-feeding ordinances are the latest in a series of municipal efforts to legislate against homelessness. A report this year by the National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH) found double-digit increases since 2002 in laws prohibiting begging, sitting and lying in public places. A week before Orlando passed its ordinance, Las Vegas outlawed giving food to even a single indigent in any city park. The law defines an indigent as a person who appears “to be entitled to apply for or receive” government assistance....

Their first encounter on March 27 ended with an easy 111-94 win for the Boston Celtics. It may not take much for the Celtics to duplicate that result, with the OKC Thunder currently on a 14-game losing streak. The longest losing streak this season is infamously owned by the Houston Rockets (20), but the Thunder could either duplicate or break that in the coming games. The OKC Thunder have no intention of joining the playoff race....

Dwight Howard’s debut with the Washington Wizards had them within five points of the visiting Thunder after the first quarter. But, after that it was all the Oklahoma City Thunder, engineering one of their best halves ever since making the move from the Pacific Northwest in 2008-09. The Thunder powered to a 134-111 victory behind a 79-point first half, tying their record for most points scored in a half. Russell Westbrook led the charge with a double-double, 23 points and 12 rebounds....

Grant would be the first inmate put to death in Oklahoma since 2015 if his execution goes ahead on October 28. He was convicted of killing prison worker Gay Carter in November 1998 while serving sentences for four armed robberies. His clemency hearing before the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board is on Tuesday.
