Game 1 went to James and the Cavaliers on Wednesday behind a lights-out shooting performance by J.R. Smith and a solid defensive effort. The Hawks are already on edge with the potential loss of DeMarre Carroll, and if they lose, the Cavs can potentially put the series on ice heading back to Cleveland. However, Atlanta has proven their resiliency time after time this season, so with Carroll or not, it wouldn’t be wise to count them out....

Neymar’s €222m move to Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona – a record for a single player – has seen prices escalate incredibly over the last two months and the Belgium international is curious to find out what he may be valued at. Hazard 50/1 Premier League top scorer Speaking to HNL, he said: “I don’t know how much I would cost. Maybe €300 million? It all depends on the market. Neymar is a Brazilian, has a lot of potential, is a year younger than I am and played for Barcelona....

The petition on Change.org has accumulated more than 500 signatures asking the ACC to move the tournament to South Carolina over the recent passage of House Bill 2, commonly called the “bathroom bill.” The law says people must use public bathrooms based on their biological sex, and critics contend that the lack of protections for gay and transgender people opens the door for general discrimination. MORE: Must-see photos of the week...

Rams coach Jeff Fisher did not like people questioning his team’s effort; the Raiders want Disney to make a movie about one of their undrafted players; Bills coach Rex Ryan isn’t a fan of the replay process; both the Cardinals and 49ers had harsh words for the officials; the Dolphins made more changes to their coaching staff; and Texans defensive end J.J. Watt admitted his team “sucked” early this season....

Besides poetry, Carter has written books of history, public policy, memoir, even a children’s book. But it’s the 18th book that pulls you up short. At 79, he is the first president to have written a novel. “The Hornet’s Nest,” a story of the American Revolution set in his native Georgia, appears in bookstores next week. And while the author will not be coaxed into bragging, he’s plainly proud of his latest effort, if a little nervous about its reception....

The news follows a meeting of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee on Thursday, in which data showed that as of May 31, there have been a total of 216 reports of the condition after the first dose of either Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. There were 573 reports after the second dose. The CDC notes that at least 81 percent of discharged patients aged 30 and under made a full recovery, according to limited outcome data....

That didn’t mean there weren’t any opportunities for the Heat to improve their roster heading into this season. It simply meant they had to nail the rare opportunities they did have in the draft and free agency. It’s still too early to have a definitive answer — the contracts of Dion Waiters and James Johnson, for example, could come back to haunt them — but it looks like they at least made the right decision in selecting Bam Adebayo with the 14th pick in the 2017 NBA Draft....

Susan Bro — Heyer’s mother who has taken up the mantle of her anti-racism work in the wake of the incident — is suing James Alex Fields, Jr. (who was punished in both state and federal court for the killing) for $10 million in compensatory damages and an additional $2 million in punitive damages. Earlier this year, Fields pleaded guilty to federal hate crimes charges and in June was sentenced to life imprisonment....

In recent weeks, the TV personality, 35, has taken to sharing images of herself indulging in such cuts as raw liver and uncooked bull’s testicles. The Hills star Montag informed her Instagram followers that she was doing so because she believed there were “so many health benefits to eating liver, animal organs, raw liver.” In a new interview with People, Montag revealed that she’s hoping her diet will help with her fertility issues....

So in this week’s Exit Poll, we look at those two headline topics. Q: What would your Heisman ballot look like? Anthony McFarland: Jameis Winston, Tre Mason and Johnny Manziel. It’s clearly Jameis Winston’s award even though Tre Mason made a late run and Manziel has had arguably a better year this season. Jake Plummer: Jordan Lynch, Jameis Winston, Tre Mason. Lynch makes play after play every game when his team needs him....

The Heisman Trophy, awarded to the most outstanding player in college football, is not lacking in intrigue this year. It was considered a wide-open race for much of the 2021 season, with several quarterbacks leading the way in terms of pure offensive volume. Other positions weren’t nearly as represented, but players such as Michigan State running back Kenneth Walker III and Alabama linebacker Will Anderson Jr. garnered significant discussion as well....

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Air Rescue 5 helicopter was en route to a vehicle collision when the aircraft went down at approximately 4:30 p.m. in Angeles National Forest, near the San Gabriel Mountains.

Are you going to get teased on the racetrack for this? They’re going to tease me in a good way. They’ve been very supportive, from all over, not just NASCAR and IndyCar. We have messages from Go Kart drivers. Did they all vote for you? I don’t know if they voted. Normally, race-car drivers are cheapskates. Isn’t it free to vote? Was it? Yeah. Then maybe they did vote. I didn’t know....

Causes Our red blood cells are coated with antigens, substances that induce an immune response. Some of these antigens give us our blood type (A, B, O, AB) and others our Rh group (positive, negative). The Rh group is also called the D antigen. Women who are Rh-negative do not have the D antigen on their red blood cells. If their unborn baby is Rh-positive (inherited from the father), they have a D antigen present....

He might be close to ready, but the best route in this case would be to stay on course and have Elliott racing a full Nationwide schedule through 2015. Look at Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who won back-to-back Nationwide titles in 2011-2012. He then had a decent but not great year in Cup in 2013, finishing 19th in the standings. Cup racing is tough, and it will rattle the psyche quicker than back-to-back Nationwide wins will elevate it....

“It breaks my heart (literally) to share this news,” he posted on Twitter. “I will not be joining the Capitals this upcoming season. After many weeks of tests and conversations with specialists around the country, it’s been determined that a heart condition will prevent me from taking the ice. Together, we have decided that the risk of playing before remedying my condition is too high, so I will spend the coming months figuring out the best course of action....

‘Neymar is better than Messi & Ronaldo’ Wenger is out of contract at the end of the season and his future is far from certain amid increasing pressure from fans with Arsenal struggling in the Premier League and out of Europe.
