While enjoying the game’s new missions and weaponry, players also have a long list of feats to accomplish to unlock - one, the ‘It’ll Buff Right Out’ trophy/achievement, requires players to blow up the main antagonist’s brand-new car. Here’s how players can find the Nazi’s vehicle and see it leaves the mission significantly worse for wear.

Snowmobile rider Caleb Moore died Thursday, a week after he crashed during the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado, X Games officials confirmed. “We are deeply saddened by Caleb Moore’s passing and our thoughts and prayers go out to his parents, Wade and Michelle, his brother, Colten, and the entire Moore family,” officials from the event broadcast by ESPN said in a statement that was posted on the X Games Facebook page....

The Bulls won 168-161 on the road against the Atlanta Hawks in the third-highest scoring game in NBA history - the record stands at 370 following the Detroit Pistons’ 186-184 victory against the Denver Nuggets in December 1983. “I’ve never been a part of a game that long,” LaVine said to ESPN after finishing with a career-high total of 47 points, to which he added nine rebounds and nine assists....

It’s a useful skill. In the Amboseli region of Kenya, the cattle-herding Maasai warriors show off their virility by spearing elephants (not fatally, in many cases), while the agricultural Kamba leave the elephants alone. Telling Maasai from Kamba seems like a good way to avoid danger, if you’re an elephant, so scientists tested 18 groups of pachyderms in Amboseli to see what they were capable of. In the experiment, being reported today online in the journal Current Biology, the scientists left out three kinds of garments: cloths that had been worn for five days by an adult Masai man, cloths that had been worn for five days by a Kamba man, and clean unworn cloths....

The striker was afforded limited opportunities at Leicester City this season and opted to team up with Rafa Benitez’s side till the end of the season. And his national team coach is confident the move would benefit both the player and the struggling Magpies who are two places above the relegation zone. “He’s a good striker and staying on the bench isn’t good for the head. Slimani is excellent and will do very good things at Newcastle....

CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - AB de Villiers’s sparkling half century could not prevent Sri Lanka from snatching a five-wicket victory with one ball to spare as they capitalised on six dropped catches by South Africa in the third Twenty20 on Wednesday. Niroshan Dickwella belted a career best 68 from 51 balls and an unbeaten 37 off just 16 balls from Seekkuge Prasanna helped Sri Lanka to claim a 2-1 series win as South Africa’s victory hopes were dashed by their woeful fielding....

How was the show before WWE Fastlane, the final stop before WrestleMania 35? I personally thought that it was an easy watch, but except for a few things, not a very notable show overall. It did not feel like a go-home show in some respects. But was I bored during the two hours that I spent in watching all the proceedings? Not at all. So let’s begin this week’s countdown with the one thing everyone’s talking about right now....

And you’d be wrong. Americans on both sides of the aisle believe criminal legal reforms are urgently needed. Incarceration has been shown to cause tremendous harm to Black and brown communities in particular and to overall safety, health and economic mobility. At present, the U.S. accounts for 1 in 5 incarcerated people globally. It should come as no surprise that crucial criminal reform efforts are underway in cities and rural areas alike....

NASCAR announced Tuesday that 36 cars — called charters, or car franchises — will be guaranteed a spot in every race regardless of qualifying times. The four non-chartered race teams will compete for the final entires during qualifying with the rest of the 36 charters to set the starting lineup each race weekend. MORE: Best 2016 driver lineups | Tony Stewart injury raises questions about drivers participating in other sports...

The band was not pleased when Green yelled at Kevin Durant during the Warriors’ collapse against the Grizzlies on Friday night and took to Twitter to air its dirty laundry.

Smith was viewed as a genuine all-round prospect when he made his international debut in 2010. However, his sometimes erratic leg-spin has almost disappeared from view in recent years, with a focus on batting reaping rich rewards. Last month, the 28-year-old cited his heavy workload as a factor when stating: “I certainly could bowl if need be, [but] I’d prefer not to.” Yet Australia’s decision to select Shaun Marsh at six, rather than an all-rounder, means Smith is likely to be needed when England are batting....

Of course, Ohio State made Buckeyes fans — and likely the Playoff selection committee — sweat a little after falling behind 21-7 to Wisconsin at halftime. But they managed to come back, locking their place in the final Playoff field. The Buckeyes, who likely wanted to claim the No. 1 seed among the final four teams, might not even be a top-two seed after Saturday’s comeback win. MORE: Playoff picture: Four in, two to watch...

That led to the sacrifice of Greg Roman as offensive coordinator. Sporting News has learned that Buffalo’s front office leaned on head coach Rex Ryan to make a significant change in hopes of appeasing a disgruntled fan base. Thus, Roman was on the outs Friday following a 37-31 home loss to the New York Jets. Anthony Lynn, a well-respected assistant coach, was announced as Roman’s replacement. Roman, 44, helped the Bills field the NFL’s top rushing offense in 2015 and played a pivotal role in the development of quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who was recently rewarded with a six-year contract extension that could reach $92 million in value....

Spence noticed, and made a subtle statement on Twitter to let Sporting News’ No. 3-ranked fighter know he was watching. MORE: Who rounds out the SN pound-for-pound rankings? Now that he’s made a successful debut at 147 pounds, Crawford (33-0, 24 KOs) wants the biggest test possible and realizes it is Spence.

While attempting pitches for big-name free agents like Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James are the headline-grabbing moves, the reality is the Lakers’ offseason success or failure will probably rely on how they handle the two big guys who had so much trouble with former coach Mike D’Antoni — Pau Gasol and Jordan Hill.

When asked which teammate he admires most, the veteran Utley named Seager, expressing his appreciation in typically non-effusive fashion: “Why? Because he’s a pretty good player.” “Pretty good” is certainly an accurate (albeit understated) way to describe Seager, who ranks within the top 10 of Sporting News’ 2017 list of MLB’s best young players. Long touted as a top prospect, Seager wasted no time living up to his potential following his September 2015 callup....

The Nuggets forward was participating in a fan Q&A when he was asked, “Bro speak on this coronavirus being over blown to scare people into being controlled & you know about all that.” Porter responded by saying, “that’s facts” and continued to elaborate on his conspiracy. “Personally, I think the coronavirus is being used obviously for a bigger agenda,” Porter said. “It’s being used for population control in just terms of being able to control the masses of people....

In its opening sketch, host actor Miles Teller and SNL cast member Andrew Dismukes played the sports commentators Peyton and Eli Manning as they performed running commentary on the intentionally-awkward skit. The multi-layered sketch appeared to mock the level of comedy aimed at Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, as well as scripted parts of the show. During the cold open, Chloe Fineman played an advisor to Trump who told the former president to get out of Mar-a-Lago as Hurricane Ian barreled towards them....

The accident occurred Friday when John Jasinski and Mark Johnson, both Republican state senators, were traveling on snowmobiles as part of the Minnesota United Snowmobilers Association Winter Rendezvous in the Brainerd area. Jasinski “might have been traveling a little bit too fast” as he was headed into a left turn in the trail and clipped the back of the snowmobile in front of him, according to a Morrison County Sheriff’s report obtained by Minnesota Public Radio....

LONDON (Reuters) - From the way Chelsea’s players celebrated at the end of their hard-fought 2-1 win over Manchester City on Wednesday, it was clear that they believed they had taken a big step towards winning the Premier League title. Gary Cahill and Pedro stripped to their shorts and flung their shirts into the crowd, punching the air as much in relief as in celebration. For much of the top-of-the-table encounter, the runaway league leaders had been second best to City whose elegant passing and long spells of possession bore all the hallmarks of former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola....
