Restarting third with just 19 laps to go in the Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway, the seven-time Cup champion was stuck on what had become a detrimental inside line, but shortly after setting the race’s fastest lap time, he knew he had a car worthy of beating Martin Truex Jr. and/or Ryan Blaney in front of him. Then Brad Keselowski got a big jump on the restart from fifth behind Johnson, ducking to the inside right after the start/finish line....

The Heat had already ruled out starting point guard Kyle Lowry with a hamstring injury, which was expected after the veteran guard left Game 4 early with an ailment. MORE: Kyle Lowry injury update: When will the veteran guard return? The surprise came from Tuesday’s injury report, which listed Jimmy Butler for the first time this series.

The duo went out in Oakland before a game to speak to Warriors fans about the cause that’s so near and dear to their heart. It didn’t go well. Golden State fans got angry. Aggressive, even.

Round 1 of the Championship scheduled at the Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore on Aug 8-9. Action packed races are expected in the JK Racing India Series, Volkswagen Vento Cup & Formula LGB 4 classes. Coimbatore, the city with a motorsport history is all set to host Round 1 of the JK Tyre Racing Championship 2015 at the famous Kari Motor Speedway on August 8-9.

At £99/US$99, the Talk is the brand’s midrange option, which includes the budget Talk Go (£49) and the premium Talk Pro (£150). I tried it out to see whether it’s actually any good, or just talk. A classy design The Talk is pretty much all plastic – but it certainly doesn’t look cheap. The swivel design is a nice change from other mics on the market and a charming throwback to old-school broadcast mics....

In an interview, Biden said that he and other leading Democrats are “absolutely, thoroughly, totally” making a conscious effort to ensure that Obama doesn’t become the next Kerry. The failure of Kerry and the Dems of ‘04 to seize control of the national-security agenda and counterattack Bush was a mistake “that was emblazoned in my mind,” Biden says. Hence this week’s onslaught of Democratic ripostes to Bush’s seeming suggestion, in a speech to the Israeli Knesset, that Obama was guilty of “appeasement” for indicating he would negotiate with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other U....

It wasn’t Hellickson’s psyche that went sideways, though; Washington manager Davey Martinez’s brain kicked in. Martinez didn’t want Hellickson to face Bryce Harper a third time. Harper had hit the ball hard in both of his at-bats against his old Nats teammate, and Martinez surely had a printout somewhere showing him that opponents’ OPS against Hellickson jumps up 117 points the third time through. Harper represented the go-ahead run at the time, too....

The new Lakers guard, who was at home in California, decided to dunk on nearly every member of his family. He started with his sister, moved on to his brother and caught his mother near the end. The reaction of Lin’s mother was priceless. It looked as if she planned to start the preparations for dinner when all three of her sons completed an intricate alley-oop that ended with Lin dunking over her....

The former first-round pick out of Oklahoma has spent the last five seasons with the Bengals. Gresham caught 62 passes last year for 460 yards and five touchdowns. He is one of the best free-agent options at tight end still on the market, but will need to receive a positive prognosis in order to pass a physical.

In a legal filing released Thursday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) describes the “premeditated” actions of Jessica Watkins, a leader of the Oath Keepers, a paramilitary group that considers the federal government has been “co-opted by shadowy conspiracy.” According to prosecutors, Watkins believed she was following Trump’s call to siege the Capitol and stop Congress’ certification of the 2020 election results. “As the inauguration grew nearer, Watkins indicated that she was awaiting direction from President Trump,” prosecutors wrote in the court filing....

Jesus, preferred again to top scorer Sergio Aguero, poked home to break Swansea hearts in the dying seconds in what was another eye-catching performance from the supremely-talented Brazilian. It looked like City would be left to rue a host of missed chances when Gylfi Sigurdsson equalised in the 81st minute after Jesus had earlier opened the scoring in the 11th. City climbed to third, one point adrift of second-placed Tottenham Hotspur while Swansea remained 17th, one point above Hull City in the relegation zone....

The mobile game is available now from Google Play and the App Store in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Halfbrick plans to release the game worldwide in the next few months, although an exact date is still to be determined.

Except it wasn’t open at all — nor should it have been. Coach Rex Ryan officially spilled the overcooked beans Friday night after the Jets’ 35-24 preseason loss to the Giants when he announced Smith’s status as starter. It wasn’t really a surprise; just a delicate culmination of a beautifully handled situation. Ryan answered the public’s question: “What the hell are the Jets doing with their quarterbacks?” We should have listened carefully to Vick shortly after the signing when he said, “My role is going to be to get in and win football games whenever my number’s called, and be the best I can be and help all the quarterbacks become the best they can be....

With training camp approaching, the two sides need to reach some agreement, get Wilkerson back on the field and create a best-case scenario. This situation has been brewing for years. The Jets’ first opportunity to extend Wilkerson should have presented itself early in 2014. The team and general manager John Idzik were battling an image issue — that they were unwilling to spend money — and to change that perception, a quick extension for Wilkerson would have been smart....

Consider this, though: The game plan was a Rex Ryan dream — ground-and-pound on offense, stop the run on the other side.

The strategy worked their first two years together. Even this year, Ryan’s 2-10 team is second in the NFL in rushing and third in the league against the run....

Brett Rypien was steady most of the night in the first start of his career, completing 19 of 31 passes for 242 yards and a TD. He threw three interceptions — two of them coming in the fourth quarter — but was able to help Denver convert more of its chances into touchdowns than Jets QB Sam Darnold, who led just one touchdown drive on the night. Darnold looked fairly competent most of the game, completing 23-of-42 passes for 240 yards....

The two square off on the main card of ONE: MARK OF GREATNESS, which broadcasts live from the Axiata Arena. With the bout just a short ways away, Radzuan sees this bout ending emphatically in her favor. Malaysian martial arts pioneer and veteran Melvin Yeoh, who guides Radzuan’s career at the Ultimate MMA Academy in Johor Bahru, also shares the same confidence in his pupil. In Radzuan, Yeoh realizes limitless potential....

Speaking to CNN’s John King, the South Carolina Democrat echoed President Joe Biden’s opinion that Congress can multitask with impeachment and other critical issues, such as the coronavirus pandemic and the economic crisis. “I think that you can have an impeachment trial and other business taking place at the same time,” Clyburn said, noting that last year’s impeachment trial took place only in the afternoons. “Now as for the duration, three days or six days, I don’t know,” Clyburn added....

The Panama City Playboy interrupted Page’s interview with veteran broadcaster Tony Schiavone and made his intentions about capturing the World Title clear. Though Cole was unusually respectful during his promo and proceeded to walk away, Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish emerged to take Hangman Page down. Soon enough, The Dark Order came to the rescue of the AEW World Champion and evened out the odds stacked against Page. Speaking on the latest episode of his podcast, Experience, Jim Cornette stated that one just couldn’t get emotionally invested in the entire segment from AEW Dynamite....
