New York on Monday traded Steve Kampfer and Andrew Yogan to the Panthers for Joey Crabb. The move is relevant because it clears space to keep Duclair, who had five points in five preseason games. Coach Alain Vigneault says Duclair — who had 99 points (50G, 49 assists) in the QMJHL last season — will have his shot to stick on the roster past the nine-game junior evaluation window....
Bottas was parachuted into the Silver Arrows at short notice following Nico Rosberg’s shock retirement after winning the 2016 drivers’ championship, but has made the step-up from Williams impressively. Having cruised to a maiden F1 race victory in Russia, Bottas also took the top step on the podium in Austria. The Finn continued a run of four podiums in a row when he fought from ninth on the grid to snatch second in Sunday’s British Grand Prix, a performance which appears to have convinced Wolff that Bottas is their man....
In his show monologue, Olbermann reminisced about Howe’s career and the two times he met him — once when he was 10 years old and again when he was working as a “SportsCenter.” It was touching and perfect for a generation that may have lost sight of who Howe was, not only as a player but as a person. Good on you, Keith.
It’s all shown in Flanagan’s Instagram exchanges with the parents America loves to hate. Flanagan reached out to Weber’s father (Petet Weber Sr.) to wish him a happy birthday. It seems they’re so close that Weber’s dad has a nickname for Flanagan. “Thanks so much for the wishes Chop Chip,” he wrote. “Miss you guys.” To rewind a bit, Weber sent Flanagan, a Chicago attorney, home on The Bachelor before hometown dates....
Bloomberg was the first topic CBS News’ Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan asked Conway to comment about on the show. Conway started by saying that the 77-year-old billionaire’s late entrance into the 2020 race “means that the Democratic field is underwhelming.” “I will say a couple of things about Michael Bloomberg,” Conway said. “His new ad that he’ll put millions behind is all unicorns and rainbows.” She continued by characterizing Bloomberg’s health care stance as similar to Obamacare, which she has associated with candidate Joe Biden, who was vice president under President Barack Obama....
Ballerini co-performed the song at the Wednesday night awards show alongside electropop artist Halsey. Halsey co-performed the song on Ballerini’s third studio album, Kelsea. The song is a country-pop duet in which two women sing about the pain and envy of knowing that their male lover is involved with another woman. The song achieved financial and critical success for its emotional narrative and catchy chorus. However, some social media commenters criticized its pop instrumentation as unreflective of the country music genre....

That at least is what Kennedy has told friends about the incident, which allegedly took place in 1996. Neither Kennedy nor Smith has spoken publicly about the incident, and both declined requests to tell their story for the record. Officially, the Army refuses to confirm or deny that Smith is under investigation, although sources say a probe will be completed soon. No one thinks the investigators will have an easy time substantiating Kennedy’s allegations, which friends and colleagues related to NEWSWEEK for the first time....
The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association announced the postponement of three playoff games scheduled to be played Wednesday shortly after the Bucks decided to boycott Game 5 of their first-round series with the Magic in protest of the Jacob Blake shooting in Kenosha, Wis.

Katie Nolan managed to combine the two in a segment for her show, “Garbage Time,” where she asked people on the street to determine whether a name belonged to a hipster band or a Kentucky Derby horse. Prepare to take the test. MORE: Katie Nolan destroys sexist column | Next for American Pharoah? Preakness Source: Uproxx
Like, undefeated, hard-to-imagine-them-losing good. And Wildcats fans are rubbing it in to the poor, feeble teams that have to suffer humiliation at the hands of the NCAA’s powerhouse. MORE: Roy Williams upset with UNC fans | Karl-Anthony Towns’ imaginary friend | SN’s Tobacco Road trip That’s exactly what happened when Auburn ventured into Rupp Arena on Saturday night and immediately got down 23-2. (That’s good right?) Kentucky fans salted the wound by cleverly repurposing Drake’s album cover for “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late,” basically telling their opponents they shouldn’t even bother to show up....
“I will have to watch it,” he said, “because I heard that it was really, really high.” (Click here to see the clip.) What mattered most, though, was that Cauley-Stein had delivered a performance that essentially rescued the top-ranked Wildcats from one of the most brutal challenges they will endure this winter. “That was a big-boy game,” Texas coach Rick Barnes told the media after the two teams had traded body blows for 40 minutes....
Kibaki, who’s 72 and has health problems, can’t afford to make the same mistake. He and Odinga come from different tribes and are an odd political couple, but Kenya’s future hinges on their rare, cross-tribal partnership. Twice in the ’90s Kibaki ran failed campaigns against Moi. It wasn’t until he successfully courted the charismatic Odinga–promising to create the post of prime minister expressly for him–that Kibaki finally took State House....
Kipruto takes his pride of place in a roll of honour that has seen Kenyan water and barrier masters win every event since 1984 Olympics. He extended the glory with his triumph at the 2008 Beijing Games in China, reports Xinhua. While there will be no surprise if a male runner from the east African nation wins the country’s 11th straight steeplechase Olympics gold medal, Kipruto is on a personal mission to return to the podium in Rio after missing the medals in London 2012....
The bill is a key requirement for the east African nation, famed for its distance runners but tarnished by some 40 doping cases in recent years, to be declared compliant with the WADA code ahead of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics starting on Aug. 5. Kenya was given a deadline to enact the law or be declared non-compliant, which brings WADA sanctions, but the country’s parliament goes into recess for 10 days on Thursday so the bill cannot become law before time runs out on April 5....

Ballerina will feature Knives Out star de Armas in the lead role as a young woman seeking revenge against the people who killed her family, utilizing the lethal skills she possesses. It certainly sounds like John Wick fans will be right at home with this one. Little else is known about the spinoff, save for the fact that it will feature several returning actors from the John Wick movies. But thanks to a recent appearance from Reeves, there’s now a slightly clearer picture for those hungry for more info....
