These are trendy topics in an era the 43-year-old driver calls “a transition state” for NASCAR.

The Cavaliers have explored deals for Bynum and his waive-able contract, most seriously with the Lakers for big man Pau Gasol, but have not yet come up with a suitable offer. Bynum’s contract becomes guaranteed at midnight, which means that Cleveland will need to waive him in the coming hours to be free of the remaining $6 million-plus that the team owes him this season.

Earnhardt Jr. has finished second four times this season — at Atlanta, Texas, Bristol and now on Monday at Pocono Raceway. But his runner-up finish in the Axalta “We Paint Winners” 400, delayed to Monday by rainy conditions, could have been sweeter than the others. Why?

Chelsea are second in their Champions League group and face Qarabag in Azerbaijan later on Wednesday seeking to book their spot in the last 16. They are then scheduled to face Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday. Conte suggested the congested schedule is one of the reasons English sides have failed to reach the Champions League final in recent years.

The match turned decisively in the English champions’ favour midway through the first half when Qarabag’s captain Rashad Sadygov was dismissed for pulling down Willian in the box, allowing Eden Hazard to convert coolly from the spot.

While the game launched in 2012 to critical acclaim and sold impressively for a new franchise, it failed to meet the publisher’s sales expectation and, tragically, its developer United Front Games shut down for good in late 2016 after canceling both a sequel to Sleeping Dogs and an online spin-off titled Triad Wars.
