This was also the week we lost the late great Eddie Guerrero. Eddie was found dead in his hotel room on the morning of 13th November 2005 at the age of 38. Guerrero is still one of the most popular Superstars of the millennium. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame the following year. Despite his career being tragically cut short, he was already a world champion, a 2-time Intercontinental Champion as well as a 4-time Tag-Team Champion....

Thomas was unbeaten going into his last-four clash with eventual champion Watson and would have supplanted Dustin Johnson at the rankings summit had he progressed to the final. But the US PGA champion suffered a 3 and 2 loss to Watson before succumbing 5 and 3 to Alex Noren in the third-place matchup. Explaining the downturn in his fortunes, Thomas said: “I had a really hard time getting focused and being worried about my match as opposed to things that can happen and thinking about potentially this afternoon [Sunday]....

The manager remarked: Chelsea entered the summer desperately looking to add a top-level attacker to their squad following Timo Werner’s struggles last season.

LES SABLES D’OLONNE, France (Reuters) - For Alex Thomson, sweeping up his crying two-year-old daughter Georgia in his arms soothed the disappointment of falling just short in the Vendee Globe after two-and-a-half months at sea. Next to them were Kate, the 42-year-old Thomson’s wife, and Oscar, their six-year-old son who saw his father return from the solo round-the-world adventure for the second time after he took third place in 2013....

Should human life in any form be patent-ed for commercial use? Last week in Washington, D.C., 187 religious leaders representing virtually every major religious tradition in the United States issued a resounding “No.” In a very rare show of unanimity, Catholics, Evangelicals, Orthodox and mainline Protestants joined Jews, Muslims and Buddhists in asserting that “we believe that humans and animals are creations of God, not humans, and as such should not be patented as human inventions....

Thankfully, THQ has acknowledged the lack of depth in their upcoming lineup and are hard at work acquiring new talent to help boost their future releases.

The 35-year-old attacker was a prolific goal-scorer and an asset to any team that he was in. During his slump with the Blues as well in west London, he won some major titles and though his critics were always around, he earned the status of a world-class striker over the years. His retirement from the game is a huge loss for football. Here are three other superstars, who were legends of more than one club....

In a Facebook post on Sunday, nonprofit group Friends of Horsey Seals announced the seemingly preventable deaths of two of the seal pups. “A VERY sad day for us today at Winterton beach,” wrote the group. “We lost two young healthy pups due to human intervention.” The seals died at Winterton beach in Norfolk, located on the east coast of England.

The cause of his death has not been disclosed although he had withdrawn from the Stones’ upcoming U.S. tour, which had been postponed by the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, a spokesperson said: “Charlie has had a procedure which was completely successful, but I gather his doctors this week concluded that he now needs proper rest and recuperation.” “With rehearsals starting in a couple of weeks it’s very disappointing to say the least, but it’s also fair to say no one saw this coming....

The first half was dominated by the Warriors’ spread offense which led to good looks from their litany of talented shooters. Golden State (46-4) went into the break with 73 points already on the board and guys like Stephen Curry and Draymond Green had yet to heat up. MORE: Greatest Warriors players of all time However, the second half was a completely different story. Oklahoma City (38-14) came out and put pressure on Golden State’s perimeter players in the third quarter, which led to just 18 points from the defending champs in the frame....

Second in the NFC North behind the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Vikings arrive into Week 8 with a 5-2 record on the back of three consecutive wins. The atmosphere surrounding the Redskins is far gloomier, with Washington rock-bottom of the NFC East with a 1-6 record after losing 9-0 at home to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. The firing of head coach Jay Gruden earlier this month has so far solved little for a franchise that looks increasingly devoid of any sense of direction....
