The Magic forward threw down a vicious, between-the-legs 360 dunk during a Wednesday night San Francisco Pro-Am game. MORE: NBA free agent tracker MORE: How to ensure every slam dunk contest is as good as 2016’s OK, so it wasn’t a sanctioned NBA game, or even a summer league game. But still, it was an impressive athletic showing. With feats like this, Gordon will have a lot more eyes on him in next February’s dunk contest than he did coming into this year’s contest....

Judge has been a shell of his regular-season self in the opening two games of New York’s ALDS vs. Cleveland. On Friday, Judge was stuck with the much-maligned golden sombrero, whiffing four times against the Guardians.

“One of the biggest things you want at training camp is seeing the young part of your team come up while the veterans help fill that gap,” McCarthy told Sporting News. “When your best players are your best people, you have a great opportunity for success with your program. He emulates that to the highest power. “The gifting he does for the practice squad at Christmas. He gives all the rookies his phone number to make sure they can reach him....
That doesn’t mean he’s an automatic for his fourth MVP. The Packers quarterback has ascended to the top of the MVP favorites list for 2021, leading a pretty thin field of hopefuls, as the Packers continue their dominating march to the NFL playoffs. But some off-the-field stuff may sway the opinions of writers who vote for the highest individual award in the sport — or, at least, Rodgers may believe so....

Rodgers is peeved over being “crucified” over his comments over his vaccine status According to an article by People.com, a source close to Aaron Rodgers has said that the quarterback is upset over how people are treating him over his comments and thoughts about vaccinations. Here is what the source had to say:...
In a column for Indian daily The Hindu, the star batsman spoke about the aspects of Kohli’s batting which he admires most. “Virat is one of the world’s greatest batsmen, combining an unmatched ability to dispatch the ball with pin-point accuracy with exceptional running between the wickets; there is nobody in the game with the same talent for finding the spaces in the field,” wrote de Villiers on what makes the Indian ace special....
After a pretty successful Ranji Trophy season with Tamil Nadu, Abhinav Mukund has now been selected for the lone Test match series against Bangladesh starting on 9th of February at Hyderabad. The opener, on his return, thanked the chairman of selectors MSK Prasad. “MSK had a conversation with me during the Ranji Trophy. He told me that I was on their radar. That is about as much as any selector will tell you....
By Holly Bailey It’s a dilemma that pops up every four years: reporters, stuck on buses and planes all day with endless access to junk food but no time for exercise, fret about the pounds they pack on covering the presidential campaign. Normally the realization that Pringles is not a part of a healthy diet doesn’t kick in until closer to Election Day, but reporters covering John McCain’s presidential run may have gotten the big hint already....
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recently issued a Guide to Language and Abortion, which claims to promote “language that is medically appropriate, clinically accurate, and without bias.” Unfortunately, the words in this “guide” are most definitely biased, as they align with ACOG’s pro-abortion position and aim to dehumanize the unborn child. Developed in 1993, ACOG’s “Abortion Policy” denies the humanity and personhood of the unborn child. Fortunately, growing recognition of the reality of life in utero is defeating these lies....
In a statement, Whole Woman’s Health’s President and CEO Amy Hagstrom Miller, said: “This morning, our clinic staff embarked on the heartbreaking conversations with patients whose appointments must be cancelled, and our clinics have started the wind down process.” “Today, we turn to the health and wellbeing of not only our patients, but also our staff and providers who are now banned from doing the work they love—work they are highly trained to do and have dedicated their hearts, minds, and bodies to provide to Texans for decades,” Miller added in the statement, which Whole Woman’s Health provided to Newsweek....
Rather, the Mississippi law will likely stand or fall depending on whether a majority of the justices have bought into the elite academic consensus upon which Roe v. Wade was reaffirmed in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. The Casey court asserted that, regardless of its views on the merits of the Roe decision, women’s “reliance” on abortion to “participate equally in the economic and social life of the Nation” dictated that the 1973 decision must stand....
After talking it over with my doctor and taking several days to reflect, I ultimately decided to have an abortion. At the time, my choice to have an abortion at 17 weeks was protected by Roe v. Wade. But since the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to an abortion this summer, women in situations like mine are now having their freedom of choice stripped away across the country. Politicians are forcing women to carry fetuses that have died or have no chance of survival....
Any fans of the Spider-Man character will know how important Uncle Ben is to shaping who Peter Parker is as a person. Ben’s advice and tragic death push Spidey to be the hero he becomes, with most adaptations of the hero keeping Ben’s death as a focal point. However, as the internet has been known to do with sad scenes, Ben’s death has been memed by many. As such, as strange as it is to see a mod that lets players control Ben’s gravestone, it cannot truly be considered shocking....
A criminal complaint filed against John Edward Kraft, 50, of Waynesburg, said social workers in Greene County had found severe bruising on the child’s face and body. A police report, obtained by Newsweek, said the 6-year-old had told police that Kraft beat her and buried her alive in a hole in the yard, leaving her there overnight. The girl said her father “struck her with his hands, a belt, and his arm, which has a metal implant from a surgery,” police wrote in the report....
The 22-year-old took a heavy blow to his left leg and tests have shown he has a compound fracture of his fibula. Initial reports in Italy suggest Calabria will need approximately two months to recover, meaning his season is over. The full-back has made 33 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring one goal. Milan were beaten 1-0 in Wednesday’s second leg, Joaquin Correa’s goal enough to settle the two-legged tie in Lazio’s favour....
