Kyle Larson dominated the Ford EcoBoost 400 title race early, leading 145 of the first 161 laps, but as the sun set changes to the track added grip to the track and improved speeds for Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. With just under 70 laps remaining, Truex, Harvick and Keselowski decided to pit for tires and thus extra speed, while Busch gambled to stay out in front on older tires....

After having his car battered in a chain-reaction wreck as cars began to accordion in the draft, Busch’s car was tipped over at the end after being hit by Cole Whitt. Busch’s car lazily turned over. The race was stopped for the lap-98 crash until Busch could get out of the car. “I’m good,” Busch said after a quick visit to the infield medical center....

He told the jury how he was unable to escape from a crowd of protesters who were swarming around him, including Joshua Ziminski, who was armed with a gun....
That journalist, Elad Eliahu, later posted a video showing the confrontation at Turning Point USA’s Americafest on his Twitter account. It showed him being held away from Rittenhouse and having his press pass removed. Rittenhouse appeared on stage at the event in Phoenix that same day, being met with cheers from the crowd.

The Cardinals general manager said it was difficult trading away Josh Rosen with the notion of having No. 1 overall draft pick Kyler Murray replace him, but in the end he’s confident in his decision. “You have to make the tough decisions and avoid the outside noise: ‘Why’d you give up on this guy? Why would you trade this guy?’” Keim told TheRinger.com. “It’s unprecedented. I took [Rosen] in the top 10....

The Celtics star said the amount of foul calls Giannis Antetokounmpo draws is “getting ridiculous” following his team’s Game 3 loss on Friday. “It’s inevitable you know. Guy (Antetokounmpo) comes in almost six times in a row and gets free throws,” Irving said. “What are you really going to do? It’s slowing the game down. So the run that you would hope to make in a quarter like that doesn’t happen....

In worse cases, some of them are only one-dimensional love interests and are just there to be eye candy. Having fanservice here and there isn’t at all bad, and even well-written characters can have those moments, but if that’s all they’re there for, it can get irritating for the viewer.
