“I’m motivated when I wake up. I eat breakfast, I get more motivated. I look at my fish tank, I get even more motivated,” he told reporters Friday. NBA PREDICTIONS: The MVP race gets really messy You might laugh this off, but Whiteside’s fishtank is no ordinary tank of fish. The $100 million player contacted producers from the Animal Planet series “Tanked” to install an elaborate 1,500 gallon tank in his home....

The 76ers looked like they were going to cruise to a first-round sweep of the Toronto Raptors after taking a 3-0 lead to start the series before the Raptors made a push to force a Game 6. Facing immense pressure to avoid a Game 7, the Sixers rolled in Game 6 with a huge third quarter to close out the Raptors. Despite the scare, Philadelphia prevailed behind MVP candidate Joel Embiid and rising star guard Tyrese Maxey, with co-stars James Harden and Tobias Harris making contributions throughout the series....

So yeah, I did not see that one coming. Well maybe that’s not entirely true. We all knew something was going to happen to close out last night’s show. It was Shane McMahon in a Hell in a Cell match, he was bound to do some insane stunt that would leave himself in a heap and end up losing as a result. It’s how Shane matches go, and it’s why I look back fondly on his encounters with the likes of Kurt Angle, Randy Orton and A....

AHL referee David Banfield had a GoPro camera mounted on his helmet throughout the duration of the Checkers' Dec. 7 game against the Rockford Ice Hogs. Banfield and linesman Paul Carnathan were outfitted with microphones during the night's contest, which just so happened to coincide with the Checkers' annual Teddy Bear Toss night. The footage is dizzying and disorienting at first, but still offers fans a very cool glimpse into the whirlwind that is a minor-league hockey game....

Studies have linked poor parenting to crime, poverty and a whole constellation of social ills. So it’s no wonder that civic leaders in cities like Hampton argue that intensively intervening in at-risk families isn’t just a kind idea but a social necessity. The movement started in the early ’90s, when 50 communities across the country began experimenting with “proactive” programs to reach troubled families and individuals before their problems got worse....

Ruth and I met for the first time at the Kiev for brunch. We talked about Larry, the mutual friend who had set us up, and about the terms of our potential arrangement. We discussed how the omission of my name from the birth certificate would mean I was not recognized as the father. I would have no financial or parental responsibility, visiting as often or as little as I wanted....

The duo arrived from German champion Bayern Munich in the summer and Henderson feels they have played a big role in helping Jurgen Klopp’s side to the top of the Premier League table. “The lads get on very well with Kornmayer, he’s got a good relationship with all the lads, and he works us very hard, which is good,” he told the club’s official website. “We’ve got a great bunch of lads that want to work, so that makes it easier for him, but the things he’s done have definitely put us in good condition, as you can see out on the pitch in the performances and energy levels we’ve had....

The team was returning from Las Vegas, where it participated in the Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Sunday afternoon.

Three weeks after Zetterberg’s agent, Gunnar Svensson, told the Swedish publication Hockeybladet his client “has not decided” about playing next season due to injury complications, Red Wings general manager Ken Holland on Friday expressed concern over Zetterberg’s “tough summer.” MORE: SN’s top 50 prospects | Farm system rankings “I am anxious to know where Henrik Zetterberg is at.

Having only arrived at the Reds from Malaysian club Negeri Sembilan in August, the 31-year-old Brazilian forward has flown north again in an attempt to have success in Asia. According to Goal sources, Henrique has effectively completed a deal with Chiang Rai and will replace former Western Sydney Wanderers striker Mark Bridge at the club that finished eighth in the 2016 Thai League. Adelaide captain Eugene Galekovic essentially confirmed Henrique’s departure on Tuesday when noting that the striker is the third pre-season recruit to leave midseason....

“Most women tend to blame themselves when this happens,” says Cathy Nonas, the director of the diabetes and obesity program at North General Hospital in New York, and author of “Managing Obesity.” “We women tend to think, “I must not be doing this right.’ We’re somehow blinded to the fact that all women 45 to 60 years old are dealing with the same thing. We only see the 23-year-old next door who seems to be having no problem at all....

Herbstreit tabbed Arizona State one of four teams to make the second College Football Playoff. Why might the Sun Devils have what it takes?

SJRA is the San Jacinto River Authority, a little-known branch of the Texas government that controls the 140 billion gallons of water in Lake Conroe. Hundreds of thousands of residents in the Greater Houston Area depend on SJRA to get clean water to their homes, and just like my mom, they’re not happy about it. Twitter, Nextdoor, and nearby city councils are flooding with complaints about the exorbitant fees SJRA is tacking onto already record-high water bills, fees that stand more than $12....

From May 3 to 17, only 2% of COVID-19 cases were attributed to the Delta variant. Today, 82% of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. are caused by this strain, underscoring the variant’s dominance and highly contagious nature. “The Delta variant is much more transmissible than the original virus," Kristen Navarette, MD, MPH, pediatrician and medical director of MVP Health Care, tells Verywell. “So that means that kids will be infected more easily....

In my line of work, the COVID-19 pandemic presents new challenges—and reignites existing ones. Right now, information is traveling at light speed. So are confusion, misinformation, and conspiracy theories. Every day, we learn more and more. Every day, there is additional guidance that we need to process to keep ourselves and those around us as protected as possible. It seems so far outside our control. But – one thing that we can all control is our interactions with our own bodies....

Yep. This can only lead to one thing: “Why you heff to be sad?”

Such is the delicate task that Mary Robinson must perform: carefully massaging national sensibilities while whacking bullies right in the chops. Practically everyone who knows her seems to think she’s a wonder woman; in Ireland, she’s a genuine national hero. Elected in 1990 as the country’s first female president, she took a dull, ceremonial job and used it as a soapbox to advocate civil rights, especially women’s issues. She was so successful that the four candidates to succeed her, in elections on Oct....

Consumers are increasingly skeptical about ads like these. You might even have your own misgivings about such methods. A 2019 study by Accenture found that of consumers who had encountered an ad that felt “too personal,” 71% said it was it contained information the consumer had not readily shared. These types of initiatives come from three types of data: first-, second- and third-party data. But each one is coming up short....
