Only the Las Vegas Raiders know whether Colin Kaepernick is still good enough to play quarterback in the NFL. Kaepernick tried out for the Raiders on Wednesday.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — For everything he accomplished this week at Augusta National Golf Club in his return to competitive golf, Tiger Woods will be disappointed in his result at the 86th Masters. For how well he hit his driver in Sunday’s final round, the rest of his game was rather suspect as the five-time winner of the green jacket signed for a second consecutive 6-over 78 to tie his worst-ever finish at the Masters and finish the tournament at 13-over and walk off the course at T-47 shortly… Source link

Over 5 decades ago, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay club in New York City Greenwich Village. The events that followed fueled the modern lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans (LGBTQ+) rights moment. And as the Big Apple was walloped last year by the COVID-19 pandemic, the historic club — like many other small business and cultural mainstays in the city — found itself in dire financial straits. Currently, New York City is in the midst of a revival, and celebrating Pride Month. Yet back in… Source link

Five minutes into the biggest fight of Charles Oliveira’s life, his biggest victory was just making it to the end of the first round. With the vacant UFC lightweight belt on the line, Oliveira and Michael Chandler had exchanged shots on top of shots in the UFC 262 main event, but Chandler was clearly the one who came closest to victory in the first frame.
