Here are three questions that need answered with Holtz leaving ESPN: Who will argue with Mark May? You can’t say the back-and-forth between Holtz and Mark May didn’t make an impact. Otherwise, people wouldn’t have gone bonkers about it every week....

Nowhere are those changes more evident than in the Duncan housing project, a drab, troubled complex that once had a mini police station on the ground floor. Now that space has been converted to something far more productive: brightly painted classrooms of the Jersey City public schools. In one room, 4-year-olds attending summer school play in the kitchen area, where their games are salted with lessons in vocabulary and grammar....

Nets center Kevin Garnett pushed this trend forward, but OKC Thunder guard Russell Westbrook put in his bid to perfect it. MORE: Anthony to miss playoffs for first time | Ibaka to donate $500 for every block in playoffs Westbrook caught the attempt of Pacers guard Paul George, and then returned for a second block when he saw another Indiana player put up a shot.

“Right now, I need a lot of work on my game, and to still spend time with the people that are important to me,” Woods said in a statement that was posted on his website. “My play, and scores, are not acceptable for tournament golf. Like I’ve said, I enter a tournament to compete at the highest level, and when I think I’m ready, I’ll be back. Next week I will practice at Medalist and at home getting ready for the rest of the year....

But the AL Central division leaders are taking a step to remedy that problem. On Wednesday, Detroit acquired Rangers closer Joakim Soria in exchange for pitchers Cory Knebel and Jake Thompson. Soria has 17 saves, 42 strikesouts, a 2.70 ERA and just four walks while not allowing a home run this season for the fading Rangers. He would help a bullpen that already utilizes former Rangers closer Joe Nathan, who has been inconsistent this season....

These workers are understandably worried. GE is pushing through with a hedge fund-driven agenda to break itself up into three separate companies, and evading questions about what this split will mean for its workers and manufacturing here in the United States. But this isn’t just about protecting U.S. jobs. These workers are saying what I have been saying for years: When GE sends military production overseas, it puts our nation at risk....

They doubled their lead on 25 minutes when Antoine Griezmann found himself freed by Kevin Gameiro who kept two defenders busy, and the French striker coolly slotted home....

Like Thor, Hercules is an ancient deity reimagined as a Marvel superhero. The character was adapted from the Greek demigod Heracles, the son of Zeus (portrayed by Russell Crowe in the film) and the strongest of the Olympians.

As all gamers know, movies based on video games usually aren’t good, as is the case for films based on video games. Sega didn’t bring fans what they desired with Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk or Iron Man 2, the latter of which Marvel promised would be of “high quality.” Can Thor be the turning point and open the door for good Captain America and The Avengers games? Watch the trailer and see for yourself:...

No, they just gotta dance-still. And judging from opening night in Austin, Texas, last week, they’re still peerless. Tharp has always been an entrancing performer as well as the greatest modern-dance choreographer since Graham. Over the years her dances for Baryshnikov, especially the 1976 ballet “Push Comes to Shove,” helped turn a dazzling, Soviet-trained classicist into the most brilliant dancer of his time. Their very names conjure excitement: nearly every performance on the tour is already sold out, and reportedly each star will walk (or limp) offstage at the end with more than $1 million....
