Blake, a 29-year-old Black man was shot in the back seven times on August 23, when Sheskey responded to a call about a domestic incident. His three children were in the car at the time of the shooting and video footage of the altercation ignited tensions across the United States that were already heightened from the deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. Sheskey was placed on administrative leave following the shooting....

Murray won the doubles title at Queen’s Club with Feliciano Lopez on his return to the ATP Tour in June after recovering from hip resurfacing surgery, which had put his career in doubt. The three-time grand slam champion was back in competitive singles action sooner than expected in Cincinnati on Monday after taking a wildcard, but Gasquet consigned him to a 6-4 6-4 first-round defeat a fortnight before the US Open starts....

As Dan Quayle knows all too well, the vice presidency is the sand trap of American politics. It’s near the prize, and designed to be limiting. But Quayle has to make the best of a difficult situation. His strategy, so far, is to attend Republican fund-raisers, accept pats on the back from the president, play up his inside-the-room White House role and incite a backlash against television talking heads and print pundits he feels haven’t given him a break....

With the cameos of Tobey Maguire and Tom Cruise seeming a little out there due to the actors working on other projects, the only one that seems like it could’ve happened is Ryan Reynolds’s appearance, since it’s already been confirmed his character is heading to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film’s head writer Michael Waldron recently discussed some behind-the-scenes details that went into creating the film that managed to gross over 700 million dollars worldwide in its first two weekends in theaters alone....

Even though Mortal Kombat movies seem to be making a comeback, there is still no evidence that Reynolds will be portraying Johnny Cage in one of them. This is not the first time he has taken the mantle of a big pop culture character, however, as he is well-known for playing Deadpool in movies from the Fox X-Men franchise. Reynolds also played Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but that rendition was not faithful to the antihero and earned negative criticism, even from Reynolds himself....

While Reynolds has recently moved into more video game-related areas of entertainment following Detective Pikachu, such as the upcoming movie Free Guy, he hasn’t been overly involved in the gaming industry as a whole. However, Reynolds recently teamed up with Chief Operating Officer of the AbleGamers charity, Steve Spohn, to promote the charity in a video.

To mark the release of Deadpool and Logan on Disney Plus, Reynolds noted on Twitter that there are some other Disney films that “should already be rated R for irreversible trauma.” He posted some cleverly edited rating cards for four classic Disney movies that may have seemed innocent at the time of release but have devastating moments or scenes that remain with children for a long time.

Founded in 2006 by Christian Krogstad and Ryan Magarian, Aviation American Gin was sold to Davos Brands by the gin’s producer, House Spirits Distillery, in 2016. Reynolds purchased a stake in the brand from Davos in February 2018 and has been an active promoter of the brand ever since, even inserting the gin into a sequence from his 2010 thriller Buried.

Ivan Hollingsworth, from Newcastle, England, took to Twitter on Tuesday asking for help in finding a Marvel superhero actor who might be willing to send a message to his “brave” son Seb, who is currently recuperating following his operation. “Long shot I acknowledge, but I think he deserves it!” he wrote. “Who’s up for the challenge?” Posted alongside the hashtag #HeartHeroSeb, the post earned over 10,000 likes, with several notable stars from films like The Avengers and Marvel Studios itself tagged by those retweeting the post....

Fresh off starring as “Godzilla” in “Godzilla vs. Kong,” Derrick Henry is a monster both on the field and off, and he’s already back in the gym working on his physique for 2021. Earlier in the week, video surfaced of Henry’s ridiculous push-up workout, which is equal parts home gym and Rube Goldberg machine. Henry used a squat rack, an elastic workout band, a yoga ball and a chain straight from 2005 John Cena’s neck, making for an insane Do Not Try This At Home regimen:...

His verdict? The problem, in Theriot’s opinion? Check that hashtag. Zaidi, 37, is thought of as a new-school, analytical type after working under Billy Beane in Oakland the past decade. He has a science degree from MIT and a PhD in economics from Berkeley. Not good enough for Theriot. The problem with that logic? Some of the game’s most successful executives, including Brian Sabean, Theo Epstein, Ben Cherington, John Mozeliak and Dan Duqette, never played baseball professionally....

When the U.S. team started practice rounds Tuesday morning, Woods was next to Jordan Spieth, giving him advice at every turn. Woods stood as a daunting figure, sizing up the course even as a vice captain. MORE: U.S. Ryder Cup team | Davis Love III: ‘Playing with heavy hearts’ Fans welcomed Woods with roaring cries of “Ti-ger! Ti-ger!” after every green, sometimes even washing out the chants of “U-S-A”. But Tuesday didn’t seem to be about Tiger for the 14-time major champion....

It probably won’t surprise gamers to learn that the look and world of Sable were inspired by the art of comic books – specifically, the work of Jean Henri Gaston Giraud under the penname Moebius, the Belgian comic The Adventures of Tintin, and the beautiful worlds created by Studio Ghibli movies. From the bright colors to the simple shapes to the expressive design of the titular protagonist, everything about Sable has its roots in comic books and animation....

And in the 25-year history of the league, Ionescu’s triple-double was just the ninth ever. While the former No. 1 overall pick was happy with her efforts in all facets of the game, she was focused on one thing a lot more than her final stat line. “Obviously getting a triple-double in a win is what’s important,” Ionescu said. “If I got that in a loss it wouldn’t mean anything to me....

The Asian team played its first Test match against England on June 25, 1932 led by the legendary C.K.Nayudu, so it’s been a journey of 84 years. Gren Park being one of the oldest Test venues provides the perfect centre to host the historic match.

Mullin had been advising Ranadive since the Silicon Valley software magnate bought the team in May, including scouting ahead of the NBA draft. Ranadive also said he had sought Mullin's advice before hiring D'Alessandro, who worked under Mullin in Golden State's front office. "Chris Mullin is an incredible addition to our organization," Ranadive said in a statement. "I have great respect for his accomplishments and understanding of the game. From day one, we have focused on making the Sacramento Kings a first-class franchise built for the 21st Century....

Mantshi, 32, pays a steep price for campaigning to smash complacency about AIDS in black townships. Fearful neighbors won’t enter her three-room shack in the Macassar neighborhood of Khayelitsha. Local children shun her daughter, who attends a Roman Catholic-run preschool for boys and girls who carry HIV. But she is dauntless in hectoring Khayelitsha residents to be tested at the local government hospital. She has known of her HIV status since 1995....
