But there was another sprint that night at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, and it belonged to Mike Hill, an attendant in the visiting clubhouse. Like Bream’s dash, Hill’s was unexpected and dramatic. And like Bream, Hill had to find another gear for everything to work out the way he wanted. He describes what unfolded in the roughly 10 minutes after the Braves won as the wildest experience he had in more than two decades as a team employee....

Our only child had just graduated from college, leaving us with an empty nest in suburban Detroit. At the time, we were shopping for a small beach house near Lake Michigan—a low-maintenance place to coast us through our pending retirement. That’s when the Carl Schultz house “found us,” as our real estate agent put it. Located on a wooded bluff overlooking the St. Joseph River, it wasn’t the carefree beach house on our bucket list—but it needed our help....

The Croatia international has played eight games this season despite being hampered by a back injury, but his fitness problems have worsened 6/1 for Maribor and Liverpool draw Lovren revealed he now has an Achilles issue that could keep him out of his country’s decisive World Cup qualifiers with Finland and Ukraine. “I have problems for the last two weeks with my whole body, it hurts,” the 28-year-old told Sportske Novosti....

Cuban was a guest on Sportsradio 96.7 The Ticket, on the show The Musers after the All-Star game where he discussed Luka Doncic and the star’s newfound discipline. Cuban added that he has seen this from star athletes before, where a player suddenly has to consider making changes to their life. Especially when things don’t go according to what the player expects once they’re in the league. Luka Doncic is averaging 35....

Taking a dig at Australia’s legal system, Brnabic also claimed that the court’s decision was “scandalous.” A three-judge panel upheld Novak Djokovic’s visa revocation order on Sunday. The court ruled that the Serb will face deportation and will hence not be able to feature at the Australian Open. The 34-year-old’s visa was canceled by Immigration Minister Alex Hawke after exercising his special powers on Friday. During the interaction, Brnabic opined that Djokovic’s verdict showed how the law is “not functioning” in some countries (Australia)....

NEWSWEEK: Are people right to be saying “Why do we have guns? Why can’t we do something about this violence?” LAPIERRE: Absolutely. I think we all share that same emotion of stopping violence and stopping these horrible tragic situations. They’re unimaginable. I think what we differ about is what will stop them. I’ve watched this debate for 20 years, and the reality of politics in Washington has become completely detached from the reality of crime and violence with guns on the streets....

Mane saw red shortly before half-time at the Etihad Stadium as his attempt to run onto a long ball resulted him in kicking the former Benfica ‘keeper in the face. Liverpool 20/1 for PL title Ederson avoided any serious injury having been stretchered from the field as City eventually ran out 5-0 winners on the day. Mane later posted a message of support on Facebook but now admits he would like the chance to say sorry in person rather than just on social media....

Adam has played only three matches for Stoke this season, prompting the 33-year-old to consider his options in the winter transfer window. And, having began his professional career at Ibrox as well as having played alongside Gers boss Gerrard at Liverpool, a return to Scotland would be an opportunity too good to turn down. “The Rangers thing is something that would interest me, absolutely,” Adam told a media event in Glasgow....

I started sharing my experiences on social media recently, but my addictions began almost 28 years ago. I’ve been drinking and drugging for a long time; punishing my body. I grew up in Forest Grove, Oregon and I was adopted, but my parents never drank, did drugs or smoked cigarettes. My mom was always honest that I was adopted, and I did get to meet my birth parents when I was 24....

TikTok is a platform where I had really enjoyed watching and engaging, especially around racial justice and similar topics. I thought it would also be a place where I would enjoy making content. And I found that to be true. I definitely do work outside of TikTok, but social media is now my main source of giving to the world. While I was at Yale, I served as the school’s first Black student body president and I was involved in a lot of advocacy, particularly with student activists who were fighting for marginalized communities both on and off campus....

Gronk steals the show It was an exciting game. At halftime, the Detroit Lions were doing what seemed impossible: beating the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Then Gronk came into action. This season, Monday Night Football received a second iteration with the Manning brothers. Each week, Peyton and Eli welcome current and former players to talk about football and the Monday Night game. This week’s first invitee was Rob Gronkowski....

I filmed a documentary on the Trump family from the end of August 2020 until the summer of 2021. We set out to understand who the Trumps were and what they wanted to achieve, through interviews with the family and staff. But what I love about documentaries is that you never know what’s going to happen next. Our filming coincided with the 2020 election campaign, as well as the subsequent events of January 6, so that became the spine of the project....

In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Edwards discussed the rough time he’s having trying to secure a title shot. ‘Rocky’ believes he needs to get into Dana White’s good books to get a shot at Kamaru Usman for the 170-pound gold. Leon Edwards was last seen in action against Nate Diaz. The Stockton native was returning to the division after getting beaten by Jorge Masvidal at UFC 244 in 2019....

I tend to sing soul and Motown music, although I’ll sometimes throw in some reggae or even rockier tracks, depending on where I’m performing. My job is to get people on the dance floor. But eight years ago, an acquaintance suggested I get involved in the tribute market. They were a Michael Jackson tribute, and they said they were making a killing. So, I decided to start performing as R....

I had been doing some soul-searching and I signed up for a weekend meditation retreat in London, England. I wanted to be more present in my life, to feel more powerful. The company sent me a list of things I needed to stop doing for the week before the retreat: eating meat, drinking alcohol, consuming caffeine—and, to my surprise, watching television. The list made it hit home that television has a powerful influence on how we think and feel and how we see the world....

In a Reddit post published on r/AmITheA**hole, Redditor u/6fcr6es said they broke out laughing after another student claimed she went on a mission trip to the original poster’s hometown in Virginia. Titled, “AITA for laughing at a girl who went on a ‘mission trip’ to an ‘impoverished area’ but it was actually just my hometown,” the viral post has received more than 15,000 votes and 1,800 comments in just 10 hours....

Not getting to feel the wind in my hair when I was at the beach, sweltering in the Florida sun while I played high school soccer, and constantly fielding questions and stares in public, all seemed like worthy sacrifice at the time. I believed I was wearing the hijab because I wanted people to see me for who I was on the inside, not on the outside. I wanted to be defined by my actions, not my appearance....

The French national team were expected to field the pairing of Raphael Varane and Presnel Kimpembe at the heart of their team’s defense. The Manchester United centre-back has been included in the 26-man squad despite his thigh injury. However, Kimpembe has been replaced by Axel Disasi following a number of fitness issues this season. This has automatically increased the Arsenal defender’s chances of getting playing time under manager Didier Deschamps....

The Blues were second-best at the Amex Stadium against Brighton, but took the lead through a Hakim Ziyech strike. Brighton rallied in the second half and equalized through Adam Webster and looked the better team for the majority of the game. Ziyech did not celebrate his goal against the Seagulls, and Murray suggested on BT Sport that his body language after the goal was flat, pretty much like his club’s display:...

Badly shaken but alive, Storr and 20 other American POWs were home safe last week, coping with waves of good wishes and bad memories. For the wounded, the military supplied Purple Hearts and corrective surgery; for other kinds of trauma, batteries of doctors and psychiatrists. Lt. Jeffrey Zaun, the POW whose swollen face on NEWSWEEK’S Feb. 4 cover and thick-tongued sound bites on TV had outraged Americans against Saddam Hussein, said he had feared for his life 90 percent of the time, though 90 percent of his cuts and bruises had been “flail injuries” from ejecting at 500 miles per hour....
