But that would be a lie. That would not be Kyle Busch. MORE: NASCAR’s most magical moments | All about respect for Gordon That would not be the balls-to-the-wall, win-at-all-cost driver that NASCAR fans have grown to love. That would not be the driver who wants to win every race he enters, no matter how big or small. That would not be the hard-charging driver known as “Rowdy” for his penchant for stirring up excitement and controversy nearly everywhere he goes....

A fan tweeted at Rudolph on Wednesday, writing, “You probably already heard this, but looks like someone sold your gloves from the Saints playoff game on eBay already. Hope they didn’t deceive you for a quick buck.” Rudolph responded by saying the person who received the gloves from him did so by lying about their intentions. Rudolph says a media member asked for the gloves and told him they’d be selling them for a charity benefit....

Murray in early February deleted, or hid, all of the Cardinals-related posts that were featured on his Instagram. He left just two posts up after the “scrubbing” and unfollowed the team account. But as you can see below, or by heading over to Murray’s account, the images are back up. The scrubbing led to rumors of tension between the quarterback and the Cardinals. Murray reportedly was “embarrassed” by Arizona’s early playoff exit, while sources told ESPN’s Chris Mortensen that Murray is “self-centered, immature and someone who points fingers....

The Indian coach Stephen Constantine seemed confident ahead of the tie as he said that his team would play to win. He dismissed claims that the Indian side might settle for a draw as Kyrgyzstan, too, have qualified for the tournament. In case you didn’t know… The Asian Cup 2019 will take place from January 5th to February 1, 2019.

At Friday’s media day, the former Cavs and Celtics guard discussed a number of topics, including his free-agency decision and relationship with new teammate and longtime friend Kevin Durant. Both Irving and Durant signed four-year deals with Brooklyn this past offseason, aligning the All-Stars’ careers through the rest of their primes.

Now, with Irving in position to once again enter unrestricted free agency if he declines his player option, could he follow the same script? On Monday morning, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that Irving and the Nets are at an “impasse” that could “clear the way for [Irving] to consider the open marketplace.” Charania’s bombshell dropped just three days before the 2022 NBA Draft and nine days before the deadline on that $36....

Republicans and some Democrats have repeatedly criticized Biden’s response to the influx of largely Central American migrants who have been crossing the U.S.-Mexican border since the start of his administration in January. In March, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents encountered more than 172,000 migrants crossing the border—the highest monthly number in over 20 years. Although the number appears to have plateaued in April, according to preliminary data, apprehensions remain elevated....

What I didn’t know right away, however, while the game showed replays of that magnificent free-kick from all imaginable angles, was the fact that I was watching a master of the game. Italian football was virtually unknown to me prior to my ‘Manager Mode’ with A.S. Roma and there were none who even came close to matching Scholesy in the passing department. So, who was this Pirlo who seemed to spray the ball around the pitch with as much ease as he played pinpoint through-passes to beat the offside trap?...

Leon Jenkins was to present Sterling with a "lifetime achievement award" later this month. Jenkins rescinded that offer after a recording surfaced on which Sterling disparaged black men. In a letter to the national leader of the nation's oldest civil rights organization, Jenkins wrote, "In order to separate the Los Angeles NAACP and the NAACP from the negative exposure I have caused the NAACP, I respectfully resign my position as President of the Los Angeles NAACP....

What’s the story? Former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara is set to walk away from the game at the end of this county season. The left-hander, who plays for Surrey, announced that the current English season will be his last as a player. “It’s the last time I’ll play a four-day game here [at Lord’s]. I’ll be 40 in a few months, this is about the end of my time in county cricket....

Kush showed incredible pace in the build up to the season beginner at Oulton Park, however while overcoming some issues just before qualifying, he had to start Race 1 from the middle of the pack. After a satisfactory P9, the reverse grid start in race 2 meant Kush would start from P8. Some consistent quick laps ensured Kush finished the race in P5 which ended with a red flag....

Now comes Kansas, where Busch won in May, and a chance to build on his success in Sprint Cup’s championship series. MORE: Tough day at Charlotte | Winners, losers “Anything can happen,” Busch said after Sunday’s race. “That’s why you’ve got to run these races, so am I surprised? A little bit. Am I shocked? No. We’ve just got to keep doing what we know how to do and luckily we had the opportunities to be able to battle back and work ourselves back in the position to where we can have a good strong finish....

Yet the NASCAR Cup Series points leader was enraged after the race, and the culprit was the rules package NASCAR has implemented for 2019; a package that has impacted some races this season more than others. “The package sucks,” Busch said after the race, via Frontstretch’s Dustin Albino. “No f—ing question about it. It’s terrible. All I can do is b— about it and fall on deaf ears and we’ll come back with the same thing in the fall....

Who cares about practice? Kyle Busch, that’s who. MORE: Danica wrecks | NASCAR makes qualifying changes | Budweiser Duel breakdowns Busch made an aggressive move through the middle of a pack of traffic Wednesday to post the fastest speed in Sprint Cup practice at Daytona International Speedway as drivers practiced for Thursday’s Budweiser Duel qualifying races. Busch paced practice with a speed of 200.776 mph. Jimmie Johnson, who will start on the front row for the Daytona 500, was second-fastest at 200....

Busch made the announcement in a video on Twitter Tuesday morning, and then Joe Gibbs Racing confirmed his return in a news release.

Saturday’s loss marked their fourth defeat in a row, following losses to the New York Knicks, Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers. NBA LEAGUE PASS: Sign up to unlock live out-of-market games (7-day free trial) Despite their rough stretch, Heat guard Kyle Lowry believes it’s not time to panic just yet. Instead, he believes that there’s plenty of room for improvement with the postseason looming. “I think we’re at that point where we’re not concerned in the sense of like panicking but we have to fix stuff,” Lowry said postgame....

Rittenhouse was reportedly there for a couple of reasons, claiming to protect businesses as the Kenosha riots broke out. During the events of this night, Rittenhouse would shoot Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, Anthony, Huber, 26, and Gaige Grosskreutz, 27. He would claim self-defense in these shootings, with the first two passing away due to their gunshot wounds. His trial was a matter of public attention for some time, but ultimately, the Wisconsin jury acquitted him of all charges....

Our nation’s most prominent politicians and news outlets have not only shown no contrition for slandering Rittenhouse, but have doubled down on their character assassination while urging the inaptly named Biden Department of Justice to intervene. Why does the mass assault against Rittenhouse continue after the facts of the case exonerated him? Because Rittenhouse will be forever guilty of the worst crime of all: defending himself and a community under siege by the left-wing mob....

A motion filed by Kenosha County prosecutors on Wednesday also sought to increase Rittenhouse’s bond by $200,000, the AP reported. Rittenhouse’s bond was originally set for $2 million, which his attorneys posted for his bail on November 20. Rittenhouse’s defense team filed an objection to the motion later Wednesday. The objection said members of the defense team previously alerted officials to their concerns about Rittenhouse’s safety and unsuccessfully argued to keep the location of a new “safe house” on file but with a seal to prevent the public from accessing it....

In case you didn’t know… The Ballon d’Or is the most coveted individual award in football, with every top player vying for the title at the end of the year. Over the last decade, however, the coveted prize has been duopolised by Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Both hold the record for the most number of wins - five each. Croatia and Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric broke the cycle when he took home the Ballon d’Or last year, following his exploits in the Champions League and the 2018 FIFA World Cup....
