The Kentucky Republican’s comments came as the standoff over how to proceed with the Senate trial of President Donald Trump stretches on, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) continuing to withhold the impeachment articles from the upper chamber. She’s vowed to do so until McConnell comes to an agreement with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) regarding the rules for the impending trial and allowing witnesses. McConnell showed no intention of conceding to Democrats....

Jason is thinking about the past and the magnets their mother, Phyllis Harrell, collected and used to post various keepsakes on the refrigerator of their childhood home in Nyack, New York. Jason and Devin, the eldest twin by 27 minutes, were about 12 years old and playing in the Valley Cottage Pop Warner league together. Everything went on the fridge, from school report cards to their football schedule. It was a way for Phyllis to celebrate her youngest sons after their father, Calvin McCourty, died following an asthma attack when they were 3 years old and with their older brother, Larry White, in the military fighting in the Gulf War....

McDonald’s Happy Meals containing Pokemon cards recently hit the United States in February for Pokemon’s 25th anniversary. The promotion added fuel to the Pokemon TCG-flamed fire that was already ablaze thanks to scalpers buying and selling Pokemon cards for thousands of dollars, and saw scalpers purchase the meals in droves, selling the Pokemon cards for insane prices. Now, it seems that McDonald’s restaurants in the UK will be limiting the toy sales to combat scalpers....

The only two-time winner of the PGA Tour event, McIlroy sits in a tie for the lead at five under with Joel Dahmen after the pair fired 66s in North Carolina. McIlroy used five birdies on the back nine to pass 2018 Masters winner Patrick Reed, who sits in a tie for second at four under after a 67. World number four McIlroy – champion in 2010 and 2015 – was even through nine before making birdies on holes 10 and 11 and 14 through 16....

Taking place after the events of the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the film will see Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson continue to don the stars and stripes as Steve Rogers’ successor.

Notwithstanding all of the attendant biases at play when people perceive their own productivity and the productivity of others, I think the more interesting angle is how we perceive work more generally. We’re missing something important. There’s a tendency among policy and business leaders to assume workplace trends are entirely characterized by and specific to offices, whether those are the company’s own premises or an office in the home of an employee....

Unlike most survival games, the protagonist in Medieval Dynasty isn’t a lone explorer in uncharted territory. They’re the patriarch of an expanding medieval village, and have to look after the health and well-being of their villagers. RELATED: Medieval Dynasty: How to Get Straw While a first-time Medieval Dynasty player might first focus on farming, there’s one resource that’s more important than food: Water. And while keeping the player character hydrated is easy, keeping a village hydrated is a bit more of a challenge....

Meek Mill, a Philadelphia native, came out to the field before the first pitch and surprised the crowd by performing “Dreams and Nightmares,” the opening song to his 2012 album of the same name. But hold up, did you think he was finished? After spending a bit of time on the grass, the Phillie Phanatic came over to pick him up on his ATV and ride him around the park as he continued to pump up the hometown crowd....

He even admitted having a crush on actress Jennifer Love Hewitt and joked about his desire to date a celebrity. “I’ve always wanted to date a celebrity,” he said. “I’m just throwing that out there. I think that would be cool.” PHOTOS: NASCAR Wives and Girlfriends | NASCAR’s most beautiful Keselowski said then that he didn’t expect beautiful women to just show up on his doorstep, "but I was hoping!...

Before Saban adapted the modern approach with offensive coordinators Lane Kiffin and Steve Sarkisian, his teams relied on slow tempo, a strong running game and an absolute chokehold on time of possession. It was quarterbacks John Parker Wilson, Greg McElroy and AJ McCarron who led Alabama’s offenses — seemingly ages before Blake Sims, Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa changed the game forever. How times change. MORE: How Mac Jones went from Tua Tagovailoa’s backup to Heisman finalist...

Unpredictability is a theme in Wright’s own life. Although SimCity developed quite naturally from his childhood passions, the connection is clear only in retrospect. Growing up in Georgia and Louisiana, Wright spent hours building models and playing board games. In his late teens he moved on to robots. His first introduction to computing – college programming courses – was a bust. ““That was back in the days of keypunch cards,’’ he says....

“August 9, 1963, when my father took me to a Houston Colts vs. Pirates doubleheader. Long rain delays, extra innings in both games, it ended at 2:30 in the morning. I was grateful to my dad that he allowed us to stay that long,” he recalled. That Houston vs. Pittsburgh doubleheader at Forbes Field piqued Lowry’s teenage curiosity. When and where were the longest games in baseball history? “I got started at age 14, keeping track of games that went 20 or more innings,” he said....

It isn’t just openly gay players who have changed the league and broken down barriers. In recent years, executives and front-office managers have continued to leave their mark on the game as well with their representation of the LGBTQ community. Today, we’re taking a look at the only 2 known NBA executives to make NBA history by coming out, starting with Rick Welts, the first U.S. sports executive to do so....

In that spirit, we have one wish for the upcoming NFL season: Have 2020 NFL Draft cornerback prospect Lamar Jackson intercept reigning MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson. It would, at least to our knowledge, be the first time a player with the same name as a passer has picked off a throw from that player. That’s trivia gold. Who is this new Lamar Jackson? He’s been a key member of Nebraska’s secondary for the past three years, and made the All-Big Ten second team as a senior....

As the Rangers continue their somewhat miraculous run through the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs, three of the team’s pillars of the future have started becoming a bigger piece of their present. While not as catchy as the “Perfection Line” or the “French Connection,” the Rangers’ “Kid Line” — Alexis Lafreniere, Kaapo Kakko and Filip Chytil — has been making a name for itself, culminating in a big-time night on Wednesday....

Inafune had previously released a video announcement of an upcoming Mega Man Legends 3, but this announcement could have any number of effects on that project. Aside from being a surprising and disappointing piece of news for the many gamers who had developed a strong connection to several Inafune franchises and properties, this announcement fits into a much larger picture of the current state of Japanese game development and its future....
