The two-time All Star and 2015 Cy Young award winner has been linked to a number of clubs including the Mets, Brewers and Padres, but Keuchel has yet to land a roster spot after the first week-plus of the season. Keuchel is now reportedly looking for a one-year contract worth more than the $17.9 million qualifying offer he rejected from the Astros in 2018, according to a report from FOX Sports, which cites unidentified league sources....

I didn’t do it - the system did. The system has replaced the butler in these modern whodunits. The system did it; it’s thought to be that simple. You can believe that the structure of campaign laws and practices this term usually refers to needs a real overhaul, however, and not accept that its flawed existence justifies the gluttonies and corruptions we have been reading about or makes them only trivial symptoms, hardly worth troubling our pretty little heads about, of a Much Larger Problem....

The 24-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest during the NFL match up with the Bengals last Monday, after making a tackle on wide receiver Tee Higgins. He received more than 30 minutes of medical attention on the field and had to be resuscitated before being rushed to University of Cincinnati Medical Center (UCMC).

Both Phil Lester and Dan Howell have lived together since 2011 while both were still coming to terms with their identities on the internet....

Several aces are set to take the hill today, but most have bad matchups and/or bad settings for their starts. Strategy-wise, it might make sense to stick with Jacob deGrom in Colorado or Gerrit Cole against the Cubs, but you can also dig a little deeper and take a chance on Trevor Bauer against the Twins or Matt Moore against the A’s. It really comes down to how confident you are in some of the offensive sleepers you’ve identified....

During a segment about feminism on the latest edition of his The Andrew Klavan Show podcast on right-wing media outlet The Daily Wire, it became clear that The Witcher’s fantasy portrayal of a queen adept at sword fighting struck a nerve with Klavan. The erstwhile mystery author seemed particularly upset that the character used a sword in a way he considered to be “like a man.” “Immediately I was put off by the fact that there’s a queen in this who fights like a man,” said Klavan....

While still in beta, DailyMotion Games is the video service’s answer to Twitch streaming. Like Twitch, DMG offers gamers an outlet for their gameplay livestreams and a hub for them to interact with fans....

Looking at their final numbers, neither rookie dazzled in Week 1. Prescott went 25-of-45 for 225 yards with zero TDs. Elliott turned 20 carries into 51 yards, averaging fewer than 3 yards per carry. But Prescott avoided sacks and didn’t turn over the ball. Elliott saved his best run for the red zone with a 8-yard go-ahead score in the third quarter From settling for four Dan Bailey field goals to wide receiver Terrance Williams stupidly not running out of bounds in the waning seconds, there will be plenty of coulda shoulda as the Cowboys allowed the Giants to escape with a 20-19 road victory....

On Tuesday, he took the field with them and showed off his football skills. With quarterback Kirk Cousins throwing and cornerback Josh Norman “defending,” Dale Jr. looked like a polished possession receiver (sort of). MORE: Dale Jr. feared driving with Eagles logo on car As a deep threat, well, not so much: Earnhardt’s visit to training camp in Richmond, Va., was part of a crossover deal with the Redskins.
