At the very least, he appears to have stretched the truth a bit. He allegedly fabricated a story — or half a story — to get himself and his U.S. teammates out of a bad situation and cover up a stupid mistake. So what? Most of us are liars, too. Most of us do it every day. We either tell outright lies or exaggerate a situation or stretch the truth....
Team USA is now down four members of its 31-player pool. Chris Paul withdrew in order to rest this summer, and then broke his hand during the playoffs.

Kobe Bryant has retired, and 2012 team members Tyson Chandler and Deron Williams have not been invited to be part of the team’s pool. MORE: 23 most hated players in NBA history...
Rock Band, however, cranks the fantasy up a notch by adding drums and a microphone to the mix (it also supports a second guitar for that special bassist in your life). The guitarists strum, the drummer drums, the singer warbles—think karaoke, but it detects which key you’re singing in—and it all adds up to one fantastic experience. The overdrive power-up can help your band achieve arena-rattling heights as you and your mates go on a virtual tour—complete with screaming fans—from Boston to Reykjavik....
Moyes, whose side are rooted to the bottom of the Premier League, apologised for the comment at a news conference on Monday.

Footage of the conversation, filmed on a mobile phone, was published on Monday on the website of the tabloid Daily Star newspaper....
The 27-year-old fell under minimal contact from Palace defender Scott Dann in the fifth minute to earn a penalty, converted by Leighton Baines, and has been banned for two matches, the FA said in a statement on Wednesday. Niasse scored Everton’s second equaliser in the 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park. “Everton’s Oumar Niasse will serve a two-match suspension with immediate effect after his denial of an FA charge of ‘Successful Deception of a Match Official’ was rejected,” the FA said....
BARCELONA (Reuters) - Valencia forward Simone Zaza has overcome his Euro 2016 penalty shootout trauma and a disastrous campaign in the Premier League to become second top scoring striker in La Liga this campaign, only trailing Lionel Messi. The Italian has hit nine goals in 10 Liga starts and scored in six consecutive weeks, fuelling Valencia’s unlikely title bid which sees them host Messi with leaders Barcelona on Sunday with the chance to cut the gap with the Catalans down to one point....
Updates in Smash Ultimate usually change the way that fighters play, and this one is no different. Instead of a handful of fighters being adjusted, though, version 11.01 fixes just one character—Wii Fit Trainer. Wii Fit Trainer may not be considered one of the most powerful characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but the most recent update before Wednesday’s—version 11.0, released on March 4—altered the way the fighter handled so much that players were taking advantage of it....

Just a few years ago, it looked like Egypt’s economic reforms–though still incomplete–had delivered prosperity to its people. But as the country celebrates the 50th anniversary of the 1952 revolution that delivered it from centuries of colonialism, it has found economic self-reliance far harder to achieve than political independence. Back in the bountiful ’90s, cities sprouted in the desert, the growth of Egypt’s gross national product doubled to 5 percent, inflation dropped from 20 percent to 3 percent, and foreign debt to zero, according to United States State Department statistics....
The relief, intended to back loans for business owners financially strained from the coronavirus pandemic, is expected to be shot down by Senate Democrats when Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) puts the legislation up for a unanimous consent vote Thursday morning. “Democrats have a better alternative and will bring it to the floor tomorrow,” a senior Senate Democratic aide told Newsweek Wednesday night. Democrats, including Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N....
Daniel Antoniou, who together with his wife owns three children’s amusement centers on Long Island in New York state, said that while he realizes he is one of many small business owners struggling during the coronavirus pandemic, requiring his facilities to remain entirely closed doesn’t make sense to him. “We all need to stay safe. I understand that,” Antoniou said during an interview last week with Newsweek. “But we also need to make a living....
The CEWE Photo Award represents the world’s largest photo competition and this year’s edition is shaping up to be one to remember if some of the dog photos submitted are anything to go by. Our pooch preferences may be a matter of personal choice but all dog owners would agree their four-legged friends aren’t simply pets, they’re part of the family. In fact, a poll of 2,000 dog owners found 60 percent already knew someone who had their dog at their wedding....
Smith returned from a one-game benching for unsportsmanlike conduct and scored all of his 11 points in the game-turning second quarter Saturday night to help the New York Knicks to a 102-92 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. Amare Stoudemire scored 21 points and Carmelo Anthony added 18 for the Knicks (14-22), who have won four straight. "I just wanted to be aggressive, attack, get back to my old self, play with a chip on my shoulder and it worked," Smith said....
U.S Customs and Border Protection says that it discovered a haul of 450 counterfeit video game monitors during a targeted raid it held on April 16 at the Ranier entry (near International Falls). The monitors were packed in pallets in a rail container and were seized due to a violation of intellectual property rights regulations. According to the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, the monitors could be worth $204,000. In a statement, International Falls Port Director Anthony Jackson said, “The enforcement of trade laws at U....

The nation’s best player has played all of 13 games in his career. The numbers (3,820 yards passing, 38 TD), the leadership, the ability to play at a high level with extreme distractions. A complete season with zero flaws. RB Andre Williams, Boston College His 2,000-yard season (2,102 yards) is more remarkable considering he was the only consistent threat on the BC offense. In other words, everyone knew it was coming — and no one could stop it....
We’re referring, of course, to the injury sustained by Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa — one that, if it lingers, could affect the Crimson Tide’s SEC and College Football Playoff hopes. As it stands, the junior signal-caller is expected to miss “a week or two,” so we’ll keep Alabama at No. 1 — for now. Elsewhere, Ohio State and LSU continued their streaks of dominance, Penn State scored a monumental “White Out” victory vs....
Snedeker held a three-stroke lead Saturday when the third round was suspended because of severe weather. He was 16 under for the tournament with 11 holes left in the round at the final event of the PGA Tour’s regular season — and is preparing for the grind of playing 29 holes.
