Matt Walton started the Change.org petition, calling for the Norwegian Nobel Committee to award Zelensky the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize for 2022.

Four Innings Fixtures The legendary Sachin Tendulkar once suggested to the ICC to transform the 50-over ODI matches into 25-overs matches, but with 4 innings, unlike the traditional practice. A similar concept could be applied in the IPL. In my point of view, four innings of 10 overs each and two innings for each team would make the popular league more enthusiastic. Moreover, the change seems reasonable as it makes the slightly unfair game of cricket fairer, by allowing both the teams to access the conditions equally....

Nearly a fifth (158 deaths) of the country’s total fatalities and nearly a quarter (22,179 cases) of its total cases were reported in the past seven days, according to a report Wednesday by the World Health Organization....

Milwaukee had to come from behind to win just days ago, opening the Eastern Conference finals with victory at Fiserv Forum. But this time around, there was no coming back — or even looking back — as the Bucks won 125-103 on Friday. “I think mentally we were ready for this game,” Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo said afterwards. The team entered Game 1 after a week of rest and felt a little rusty, which certainly was not the case in Game 2....

The win — which included a 29-save effort from Carey Price and two goals from Jonathan Drouin — gives Montreal (5-4-2) its 12th point of the season. The Leafs (6-5-2) suddenly find themselves below .500 after allowing four or more goals in three of their last four games. Let’s take a look at three important takeaways from the Habs’ divisional win: 1. Jonathan Drouin just might be in the midst of a breakout year Drouin tied his career-high 53 points last season with the Canadiens, but more production has always been desired from 2013 NHL Draft’s third overall pick....

Among film critics, a war will rage internally over how to assess George Miller‘s latest effort. One of the biggest reasons is that Three Thousand Years of Longing is a major swing at originality. This is not a film studios take a risk on very often. And at the same time, it’s a giant swing hitting mostly air.

The two teams briefly interacted during the tag team battle royale match on the February 23rd edition of AEW Dynamite. This led to the crowd giving all four men a huge round of applause despite not doing anything of note.

Thronebreaker is phenomenal as a standalone title and expands upon The Witcher lore and Gwent gameplay in compelling ways throughout its narrative. However, CD Projekt Red has already explicitly and briefly confirmed that there are no plans for a second installment in The Witcher Tales, which extinguishes any potential hope for a Thronebreaker sequel from the mouths of the developers themselves. Thronebreaker may have reportedly failed to meet sales expectations, but it absolutely deserves a wholesale sequel due to its fantastic narrative and gameplay....

With only three games, it’s difficult to put together a GPP lineup without going off the board with at least a few picks. You will likely need to go chalk in a few spots, but unless you want to have all the same picks as everyone else, you will need a few contrarian plays. We identify a couple, both of the good and bad matchup variety. WEEK 12 DFS: Yahoo GPP lineup | Y!...

This week’s lineup is actually identical to our Week 7 Sunday Night Football Showdown lineup. That night was ruined by a big Tyler Lockett game, but he’s dealing with a knee issue and might not hurt us this time around. We’re also fading the running backs, but injuries and split backfields make that an viable strategy for Thursday night.

Before we break down our picks, here are the notable scoring settings for FanDuel single-game contests: The point total for the “MVP” is multiplied by 1.5, but he doesn’t cost any additional money like the “Captain” in DraftKings Showdown contests. FanDuel’s default scoring is half-point PPR and four-point passing TDs, and there are no bonuses for 300-yard/100-yard games like on DraftKings. MORE FD SINGLE GAME: How to win a FanDuel single-game contest...
