Draymond Green got thrown out in the final seconds of Saturday’s matchup with the Charlotte Hornets, and it likely cost the Golden State Warriors the game. Green picked up a pair of technicals after a wild scramble for a loose ball with less than 10 seconds left in the game. So, Terry Rozier hit a pair of free throws for the Hornets to tie it back up at 100. He then hit a heavily contested shot at the buzzer to give Charlotte an improbable 102-100 win. “[Draymond] crossed the line. That’s… Source link

In a wild final 10 minutes, the Miami Dolphins benched their quarterback, committed a critical defensive penalty and allowed an 85-yard TD. And they won, 26-25, saving their playoff hopes in what has been a miraculous season, moving their record to 10-5. The Las Vegas Raiders, who fell to 7-8, appeared to be ready to beat Miami and remain in the playoff race after Daniel Carlson’s field goal gave them a 25-22 lead with 19 seconds left. But the Raiders committed a terrible face mask penalty… Source link

If Simon Borghs wanted to eat a takeaway pizza fresh out of the box, he would have to sit in the local park. Taking a taxi meant lengthy discussions with the driver to ensure that he got to his flat. Getting a delivery meant walking down the road with his phone in his hand looking for the courier. His problem was that the postcode for his east London flat was incorrect on Google Maps, so any driver using the service for navigation ended up not at his address, but in parkland at Three Mills… Source link

LSU’s Jay Ward got the craziest interception of the season against Florida on Saturday night. Ward somehow came up with an interception while kneeling along the sideline after Kyle Trask’s pass bounced off a hand and a helmet before ricocheting back towards Ward while he was laying down on the field at the time of the deflections. You have to see this to believe it. Toney reached back to try to catch the ball. His right hand deflected the ball toward LSU’s Dwight McGlothern. The ball then… Source link

Josh Allen appeared to have won Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals with one of the NFL’s best throws of the day to take a late Buffalo Bills lead. But Kyler Murray did him one better — much better. With Arizona trailing, 30-26 at the Buffalo 43-yard line with 11 seconds remaining, Murray escaped pressure and heaved a Hail Mary into the end zone down the left sideline. DeAndre Hopkins leapt through a trio of Bills defenders to make the grab and take the lead with 1 second… Source link

One of the key pieces of “evidence” that supported Donald Trump’s wild claims of electoral fraud has collapsed after a postal worker reportedly admitted to fabricating damning allegations. Postie Richard Hopkins sparked outrage among Republicans after alleging that Pennsylvania postmaster Rob Weisenbach instructed employees to alter dates on ballots. Mr Hopkins accused Mr Weisenbach of telling staff to backdate votes sent in after election day. Votes cast after election day would be… Source link

Dr. Anthony Fauci threw a wild first pitch for the ages a week ago to open the MLB season during a pandemic. His pitch for the New York Yankees and Washington Nationals game missed the plate by a safe social-distancing measure and he delivered a joke about it the next morning. Now, Fauci is giving a more detailed explanation of why his first pitch was so far off in an interview with Pablo Torre on the ESPN Daily podcast. It comes down to “a mishap on my part,” the nation’s leading infectious… Source link
