Governor of New York kicked out of a wake for a shot NYPD police officer. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13253495/governor-kathy-hochul-nypd-officer-jonathan-diller-wake.html

There's a good chance Trout will hit IL even before the All-Star break for a change! Gonna be a very bleak season in Anaheim.

Opening Day is underway. To nobody's surprise Angels are getting pantsed by the Orioles

Kansas City Chiefs have signed Louis Rees-Zammit but let's see if he makes the 53 squad for the season (still five months away). I presume he would be useful in kick/punt returns but he has to avoid muffs or else he will be gone quickly (as was Jarryd Hayne during his 49ers adventure in 2015).

@MakedonasThis is like a dead cat bounce for Poland anyway. Szczęsny said he will retire from NT after Euro 2024 and everyone expected Lewandowski would follow if he failed to qualify. This basically means those plans are postponed by three months. I don't expect we can do anything at the Euros except park the bus and hope for a miracle draw vs Austria or maybe Holland we've played frequently in recent times.

beat in PSO after a goalless draw. It's truly laughable how easy it is to qualify for the Euros these days and how badly we have played in the last 12 months

beats in PSO to make the Euro Finals.

Miami R4 will also see the first meeting between two richest heiresses on tour - Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro

Goalless draw between and in the second friendly. So San Marino's winless streak will extend over 20 years.

Would be cool if and qualified from Group B

I'm impressed a Czech site uses a footage from Polish TV

ISIS takes responsibility for like every terrotist attack anyway. Nobody takes that seriously anymore. USA warned of a terrorist attack few days ago so obviously their spying satellites have picked up something. Ever since FSB blew up the aparment blocs in 1999 to justify the Second Chechen War we know these terrorist attacks in Russia are probably an inside provocation.

Peter Prevc with a proper send off in his last weekend before retirement!

@Quaker2001Because sport gambling was illegal in USA for so long I guess people there still have a hard time accepting the fact gambling is a popular addiction in general and Pete Rose wasn't the great outlier after all. On the contrary, sports gambling is massively popular across the world though from a cultural standpoint I don't know how popular it actually is in Japan. It wanders the other ways too, horse race betting is probably more popular in USA than any other country but of course that comes as a spin-off to the original sports gambling ban. Plus we still don't know what sports this case revolves around unless someone leaks the details.

Well, it didn't take long for off the field stuff to take over. Ohtani's interpreter was fired due to 4.5 million gambling funds being transferred from Ohtani's account. What are the odds Ohtani himself was the gambler and the interpreter simply took the fall or else we'd have another Pete Rose case here? That's more plausible than Mizuhara actually stealing 4.5 milion and nobody actually taking notice of that (no matter how big Ohtani's account number really is and I guess he has several anyway). I assume there won't be any serious investigation after the guilty party was found out already? https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68622772

beat 5-1 and beat 4-1 so we're off to Cardiff for the playoff final

beat 3-1 in the first friendly match. The second match is on Sunday

Simona Halep's comeback ends in R1 as she loses in three sets to Paula Badosa. Caroline Wozniacki said she doesn't understand why players coming from doping suspensions receive wild cards but Miami director James Blake made that call on his own. I'm sure Halep will receive more WC later on. The whole WC system is a joke overall. 44 year old Venus Williams won six games today and was a predictable walking bye in R1. At least she will skip the clay season most likely so next time she gets a WC will be Wimbledon.

Could be a historical feat as will host for two friendly matches this week! San Marino hasn't won any game since April 2004 (1-0 vs Liechtenstein) so let's see if they end this winless streak of 19 years and 11 months!

Word is Aryna Sabalenka's boyfriend passed away in Miami so she will probably withdraw from this tournament and who knows how many after that.

Kenjiro Shinozuka - the first Japanese driver to win a WRC round and Dakar Rally winner passed away at the age of 75.

It's clear these draws are not exactly random anymore. First they rarely broadcast it live these days and secondly they are not done by hand but with some automatic programme so you can easily implement an algorithm in the system - technically for more balanced draw - but in reality the algorithm will put the same names in the same sections over & over again. Not only Noskova goes into Świątek's R3 quarter again but also Alexandrova is in R4 again too as the #9-16 seed (albeit she'd have to get there first which is always a problem given her inconsistency).

Bears running around Slovakia? Guess it must be spring already! @hckošice https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68591540

Well, the final was less than great for Sakkari. Świątek wins her 2nd Indian Wells title 6-4 6-0.

And Wozniacki promptly retired during the QF match vs Świątek. Meanwhile the final is set between Iga Świątek and Maria Sakkari @Makedonas
