Chris Evans talks about losing 15 pounds post-Captain America and handing off mantle to Anthony Mackie. (Photo: Jesse Grant/Getty Images for Disney) Hanging up Captain America’s shield after a decade of Marvel movies was a weight off Chris Evans’s shoulders in both a figurative and literal sense. “I’ve shed like 15 pounds,” Evans tells us at a recent press event for his new Disney-Pixar animated spinoff Lightyear. “Every time people see me they’re like, ‘Are you OK? You lost a… Source link

Look out Captain America … Soldier Boy is on your left. Season 3 of the blockbuster superhero satire The Boys — now playing on Prime Video — introduces internet heartthrob Jensen Ackles as a demented version of Marvel’s stalwart Star-Spangled Avenger. But where Cap is virtuous to a fault, Soldier Boy revels in violence and other bad behaviors, which makes him the perfect addition to The Boys‘s roster of gleefully profane “heroes.” And Ackles knew exactly what he was getting into when… Source link

PHOENIX — The Dallas Mavericks had their bags packed for San Francisco while the favored Phoenix Suns were ready for Bora Bora, 10 minutes into an elimination game. With every basket, the Suns got tight and the Mavericks got more confident, squeezing on the Suns’ All-Star backcourt until they were dry — except it was the first quarter, with Chris Paul and Devin Booker looking out of sorts and out of answers. The lead could’ve ballooned to 60 if Dallas wanted it to, playing loose and… Source link

Through two games, the Dallas Mavericks looked outclassed by the Phoenix Suns. Two games later, the Western Conference semifinals are tied at 2-2 thanks to a 111-101 Mavericks win on Sunday, their second straight since the series shifted to Dallas. The Mavericks caught fire from 3-point distance and flustered Chris Paul, who played less than four minutes in the second half before fouling out early in the fourth quarter. Dallas secured the win despite a poor shooting effort from Luka Doncic… Source link

PHOENIX — He manipulates everything, from the clock to the opponent’s defensive coverages to the officials with some well-timed chicanery. It’s fair to say the Dallas Mavericks fell apart in the final 12 minutes of a winnable Game 2 that would’ve given a young team so much momentum before heading home for a couple games. But it’s more apt to say Chris Paul tore them apart every which way with yet another sterling fourth-quarter performance, his last as a 36-year-old. A six-point lead… Source link

Curtis Blaydes knocked out Chris Daukaus in the second round Saturday, then immediately called for an interim title shot as soon as June. (Photo by Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC) There were no takedown attempts. No thoughts of slow-playing it to try to wear down his opponent. It was toe-to-toe, power-to-power, man-to-man, for Curtis Blaydes on Saturday against a rising KO artist, Chris Daukaus, at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. The threat of the takedown from Blaydes was enough, as the former… Source link

Saturday’s loss to North Carolina was a bitter pill for Duke as Mike Krzyzewski’s Cameron Indoor Stadium farewell party was spoiled by the rival Tar Heels. In the immediate aftermath, Duke assistant Chris Carrawell was in no mood for postgame pleasantries. Carrawell, who played at Duke from 1996-2000, walked through the handshake line alongside the scorer’s table. When North Carolina head coach Hubert Davis extended his hand, Carrawell passed. Davis, of course, took notice. He told reporters… Source link

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady wasn’t a fan of the hit that resulted in Chris Godwin‘s injury. Godwin will miss the rest of the season after tearing his ACL during Sunday’s loss against the New Orleans Saints. Godwin was injured on a brutal hit in which the defender’s helmet made direct contact with Godwin’s knee. Godwin left the contest and was unable to return. The next day, it was revealed Godwin tore his ACL. Brady expressed frustration with the play on his “Let’s Go” podcast,… Source link
