Rahm was just one stroke behind Fowler, McIlroy and Reed’s playing partner Marc Leishman....

FIFA on Thursday announced it has extended its deals with Fox for English-language broadcasts and Telemundo for Spanish-language telecasts in the U.S. through the 2026 World Cup. That means the next three World Cups (2018, 2022, 2026) and Women’s World Cups (2015, 2019, 2023) all will have the same television home. ESPN previously had a stranglehold on the U.S. World Cup rights deal, broadcasting the event from 1994-2014.

A former businessman, Stitt is the 28th governor of Oklahoma, having won the office in the 2018 midterms. He is currently seeking reelection and is facing Democratic nominee Joy Hofmeister, the state’s longtime Superintendent of Public Instruction. Previously a Republican, she switched parties last year prior to announcing her run for governor. Hofmeister recently received a significant and unexpected endorsement from J.C.

During his speech about Iran Wednesday, Trump falsely implied the United States under his predecessor gave Iran $150 billion in the nuclear deal, funding a terror spree in other countries and the missiles fired at Iraqi bases housing U.S. forces. The president did not offer proof of intelligence showing the funds were tied to the missiles employed in Tuesday’s attack. Instead, an estimated $56 billion of Iran’s own funds were returned to the country after its compliance with a deal reached between the United States, China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the European Union, according to the U....

On Thursday, Trump ordered a U.S. drone strike that killed Qassem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps—Quds Force. In a tweet on Friday, Trump wrote that Soleimani “should have been taken out many years ago.” On Fox News, Rivera said that this conflict should have ended when the two-day siege of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad did. As previously reported, a group of mostly young men protested the Pentagon’s targeting of positions of Kataib Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Shiite Muslim militia....

This conversation mostly comes across as an uninitiated host trying to learn details about Fortnite, but there are some hilarious bits that come from the helpful blurbs that appear on screen throughout. One blurb that is particularly funny shares a “cheat” with viewers, reading: “Way to cheat: hide in the bushes until the end of the game and you can sometimes win without doing anything.” Even the most casual Fortnite player is likely to admit to having tried out this “cheat” at some point in their lives....

both its biggest one-day point loss and biggest one-day gain last week, dropping about 10 percent in midweek before making almost half of it back on Friday. This lunatic lurching is an example of not only how nuts the market is, but how fragile some of its favorite stocks are. Let me explain. Even though the market is a multitrillion-dollar beast, all it takes to send the broad indicators soaring–or sinking–is big moves in a few dozen stocks....

Since he suffered his first career loss to Leo Santa Cruz in January 2017, Frampton (25-1, 14 KOs) has rebounded to win back-to-back fights, including capturing the vacant interim WBO featherweight belt from Nonito Donaire in April. This will be the first time Jackson (16-0, 7 KOs) has fought outside his home country of Australia. Jackson last fought in April, knocking out Surachet Tongmala. The co-main event features the return of lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, as he takes on Francesco Pianeta....

When the two titans clashed for the first time at UFC 220, Ngannou was overwhelmed by Miocic’s wrestling and fight IQ. Stipe Miocic earned a resounding unanimous decision victory and successfully defended his belt for the third time, a UFC heavyweight record. Francis Ngannou came extremely well prepared for the rematch and stuffed Miocic’s only takedown attempt, even going on to take the heavyweight champion’s back. In the second round, Ngannou landed a thunderous hook that sent Miocic crashing to the floor....

Kind of a sad commentary, isn’t it? Lindor can become a free agent after the 2021 season, and there was very little chance the Cleveland ownership group would agree to spend the type of money it would take to sign their superstar shortstop to a long-term deal. So he was definitely going to be dealt at some point. The question was this: Where would he go? We got our answer Thursday....

Mir speaking about his victory post-fight press conference, also replied to all the people who called him old. He also mentioned that his “emotions” got the better of him and that he was always going for the Knockout against Duffee.

An opportunity to face him would be a huge, huge honor....

Graham wrote on “free speech” social network Gab, which has become a haven for those who have been banned from other platforms, about how Pence is recovering from his recent pacemaker implant. “They said he should be back to full activity in just a few days, but I know that he, Karen, and their family would appreciate your prayers. He told me this evening that he is on the mend and God is good,” Graham, one of the most prominent Christian figures in the country and son of the late evangelist Billy Graham, said....

Then Bill O’Brien happened. Then Penn State hit the sweet spot again, and James Franklin happened. Now here we are, barely 30 months removed from NCAA penalties so severe — penalties specifically designed to be worse than the dreaded death penalty of shutting down the program — no one would have blinked if Penn State football became Temple and faded away to irrelevance. “The future is very bright here,” Franklin said....

Ask Damian Lillard. Ask Draymond Green. Now, Fred Hoiberg, the man expected to be named the Chicago Bulls’ new coach, is finding out. MORE: Hoiberg to the Bulls all but a done deal | Bulls players ripped Thibodeau in exit interviews | Obama sad to see Thibodeau go A couple years ago, Hoiberg made fun of Bulls post player Joakim Noah’s funky-looking jump shot on Twitter. It was funny commentary from Hoiberg, the men’s basketball coach at Iowa State....

Adu believed he was set to complete a deal with Polish first-division club Sandecja Nowy Sacz, and made the trip ready to sign with the same team he had passed on last winter when the club was still in the second division. It didn’t take the 28-year-old long before he realized something was wrong with the trip.
