Superstar Shake-Up When all was said and done, 24 WWE superstars had changed brands after “Raw” and “SmackDown” this week. That total was much bigger than most people imagined. There was talk Roman Reigns or AJ Styles could be on the move, but both stayed put. Instead, Dean Ambrose, The Miz, Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss headlined the newcomers to “Raw” while Kevin Owens, Charlotte, The New Day and Sami Zayn were among those who shifted to “SmackDown....
The first time I emerged from COVID lockdowns was at MJBizCon 2021 in Las Vegas. It was just a few short months after the first round of vaccines and I was excited but nervous to be around people. It didn’t feel like we were back to “normal” by any stretch of the imagination — after all, people were still wearing masks and social distancing — but at least we were in person after many months of Zooms....
Perdue has spent much of the past week labeling his Democratic Senate challenger, Jon Ossoff, as part of the “liberal leftist agenda,” although he has not detailed his repeated accusation. Perdue, a longtime corporate executive for brands like Reebok and Dollar General, authorized the ad, which depicts Trump claiming “nobody in Washington” stands behind his “America first” strategy more than the GOP senator. Trump and Perdue have both called on Georgia Republicans to “get out and vote” after several of the president’s allies encouraged them to sit out the election over fears it’s “rigged....
Berlin has given Kyiv 30 of the Gepard units along with 6,000 rounds of ammunition. The weapons have won praise, with Ukrainian diplomat Olexander Scherba tweeting that they were “excellent.” “Could be the game-changer in Ukraine’s fight against Iranian drones,” he wrote on Thursday, “Wish we had more of them.” Also known as the Flakpanzer Gepard, the all-weather-capable German SPAAG was developed in the 1960s and has been upgraded a number of times....
Germany star Bastian Schweinsteiger looks set to be given the all-clear for Thursday’s Euro 2012 semi-final against Italy with midfield partner Mesut Ozil insisting the Germans “need him”. The 27-year-old Schweinsteiger has been struggling to recover from an ankle injury and was below-par in Friday’s 4-2 win over Greece, but as the Germans’ chief playmaker, he is a key part of their bid to win Euro 2012. Germany play Italy in the semi-final in Warsaw on Thursday and the Bayern Munich star is expected to be fit to face the Azzurri having taken full part in team training on Monday and appeared to have no problems sprinting....
El Tri were placed in Group F alongside world-champion Germany, Sweden and South Korea. A potential second-place finish in the group would mean a date with Brazil in the round of 16, which would make it quite difficult for them to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time in the competition outside of Mexico. To avoid that scenario, Mexico will likely need to knock off Germany. It will be no easy task, and Die Mannschaft’s English-language account already has reminded the North Americans what happened last time they met during the Confederations Cup - a 4-1 win during the semifinals....
EVIAN, France (Reuters) - The old 16-team Euro finals was better than the new expanded 24-team format because there were more big clashes from day one of the competition, Germany coach Joachim Loew said on Saturday. European soccer’s governing body UEFA introduced eight more teams for Euro 2016, which led to the introduction of an extra last-16 round. As a result, some of the third-placed teams now join the top two from each group in the knockout rounds....
The 36-year-old Klose scored twice in Brazil, making him the highest-scoring player in the tournament’s history with 16 goals, one ahead of Ronaldo. It was Klose’s fourth World Cup tournament.

Joachim Low opted to end his time in charge of the German national side after Euro 2020, with Flick persuaded to leave Bayern Munich to replace him in the top job. Flick has freshened up Low’s tactics, with seven consecutive wins in World Cup qualification heading into Qatar 2022 under their new head coach, and just two goals conceded in that run. A group-stage exit in Russia four years ago was Germany’s worst performance in World Cup history, with four successive semifinal or better finishes since 2000 prior to that....
With Christine Love being an acclaimed visual novel writer, her work on the newly-released Get in the Car, Loser! was a whole new experience with a lot of learning involved.

“I know that,” McCoy said, via ESPN. “I want to win. I’m not worried about where I’m living. Wherever I got to go to win … Everybody’s open (in that respect).” McCoy was released from the Buccaneers after nine seasons.

He just completed a visit with the Browns, and according to an ESPN report, which cited an unidentified league source, McCoy will spend the weekend with his family — presumably discussing his options....
