MORE: Five teams with something to prove | College baseball storylines to watch On the surface, the Longhorns appear to be scuffling a bit at 11-6 and ranked near the bottom of most polls’ Top 20.

Ball explained that the conversation captured for their “Ball in the Family” show on Facebook was just a disagreement, and he didn’t take it too personally. In that episode, LaVar suggested the reason the Big Baller Brand tanked was because of Lonzo’s performance on the court. “That was the most popular scene, it was everywhere,” Lonzo said jokingly on ESPN’s “The Woj Pod.” “That’s part of life.

By now Jamali’s passivity is just as much a fixture in Islamabad as the vitriol of Musharraf’s conservative Muslim opponents. Jamali secured his current post (by a mere one vote) precisely because his quiet, nonconfrontational demeanor made him the least offensive candidate to the deeply divided groups vying for power–the pro-military Pakistan Muslim League, the hard-line Muslim United Action Council and the pro-democracy Pakistan People’s Party....

Clarke and Stanley Kubrick had suggested earlier that year, space was a setting for odysseys, for stories of return....

Fans might be wondering about the answers to these questions. In order to do so, it’s crucial to understand Arwen’s choice to become mortal. She decides, due to wanting to marry and stay with Aragorn for his whole life, to become a mortal woman. She is able to make this choice due to her father Elrond only being a half-elf. This means that he and his children, such as Arwen, get to choose whether they want to remain Elves or become part of the race of Men....

Coutinho applied the finishing touches to a Roberto Firmino shot that was inadvertently parried into his path by Forster in the 68th minute to put the result of the game beyond doubt. Here are the player ratings from the game:...

Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Leicester City, courtesy of a James Milner penalty deep into injury time, means Jurgen Klopp’s side have matched a feat the club first achieved back in 1991. It also stretches Liverpool’s run to 17 consecutive league victories, putting them just one short of matching the record set by Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City between August and December two years ago. City have never opened a season with eight wins in a row, though....

While Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp refused to get carried away after his team surged six points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 4-0 win over Newcastle on Wednesday, Benitez was certain his former club had the quality to stay in first place for the rest of the season. “They showed they are good enough to win the title,” Benitez said after watching his Newcastle side being dismantled at Anfield....

City are pursuing a third consecutive Premier League crown but a shock 3-2 loss at Norwich City last weekend – their first top-flight loss since January – left them five points shy of Jurgen Klopp’s men, who have won five out of five in 2019-20. As the two sides engaged in a titanic battle last season, City eventually prevailing on 98 points to Liverpool’s 97, Guardiola said the Reds ranked alongside the Barcelona side of 2014-15 and their forward line of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar when it came to considering his strongest foes....

The reason for his injury was reported to be Dejan Lovren’s interception that did hit right on Naby’s knee.

While the German tactician was only doing what he thought was best for the team, such a substitution rarely inspires confidence, especially for a team that is down and desperately in need of a goal. In truth, though, there weren’t any better options on the bench....
