Brady took to Twitter to announce the retirement decision in a video for his followers. Rather than post words and screenshots like last time, the legendary quarterback announced it with a more personal video. In it, he says: He continued: After a long and unsuccessful year, Brady is officially calling it quits on what will go down as one of the best careers in all of sports. He won seven Super Bowls, a total not likely to be matched by anyone anytime soon....

JGR has promoted Gibbs from Xfinity to the Cup Series following his impressive performance in the lower division of NASCAR. After winning the 2021 ARCA Menards Series Championship, the 20-year-old followed it up with a dominating championship in the Xfinity Series season. Ty Gibbs will drive the #54 Toyota for the team owned by his grandfather, Joe Gibbs. He will bring the car number he campaigned for in the Xfinity Series with him, marking an exit from the #18 car that has been with the organization since its debut in the sport in 1992....

Most important, Newton showed no signs that his recent past shoulder or foot injuries were issues. He also, as expected, gave the Patriots an element Brady never did — acting like an extra running back with a team-leading 75 yards and 2 TDs on 15 attempts. Those carries, including a late kneeldown, matched his number of pass completions (15 on 19 attempts). He needed to throw for only 155 yards in a 21-11 win....

Both the original and new films revolve around Chicago and specifically, the city’s Cabrini-Green neighborhood. While in the original film this is a low-income housing area, seemingly completely Black and with a lot of gang activity/violence, the new film shows the neighborhood as the now trendy and gentrified area that it is. No matter what though, this area is of course plagued by the “villain” of the film, the Candyman....

Some pieces have been in place at the skill positions and offensive line, but the Texans haven’t put it all together to become one of the league’s all-around explosive offenses. Coach Bill O’Brien has been patient through two 9-7 seasons, playing stopgap with his quarterback and wide receiver corps.

Aguero sustained meniscus damage during last month’s 5-0 Premier League win over Burnley and was operated on by Guardiola’s preferred surgeon, Dr Ramon Cugat. A four-to-six-week recovery period appeared to place Aguero in contention for the August 7 second leg with Madrid, which UEFA this week announced was clear to take place behind closed doors at the Etihad Stadium. City hold a 2-1 advantage over the 13-time European champions but, after Friday’s draw paired the winner of their last-16 tie against Lyon or Juventus, they will have to try and seal a place at the final stages in Lisbon without their all-time record goalscorer....

Llorente will undergo a medical before signing a five-year contract at the Wanda Metropolitano in a move believed to be worth €40million. The 24-year-old midfielder is primed to replace Spain international Rodri, who is said to be on the brink of a €70m switch to Premier League champions Manchester City. Atletico have already signed defender Felipe from Porto and are reportedly set to bring in Benfica’s teenage sensation Joao Felix....

The 31-year-old had been out of favour at Stamford Bridge this season and, with his contract expiring in June, has departed for the French top flight. Fabregas joined Chelsea from Barcelona in 2014 and had initially been a key player for Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, winning the Premier League title under both. However, Maurizio Sarri’s arrival ahead of 2018-19 effectively spelled the end of Fabregas’ Chelsea career, as the Italian brought in his former Napoli midfielder Jorginho, who instantly took the Spaniard’s position....

Jayasuriya, who also served as Sri Lanka’s chairman of selectors after ending his illustrious playing career, was charged by world cricket’s governing body last October over an alleged failure to cooperate with an anti-corruption investigation. On Tuesday, an ICC media release confirmed the 49-year-old had accepted a two-year sanction, after he “admitted to being in breach of the following provisions in the Anti-Corruption Code: “1. Article 2.4.6 - Failure or refusal, without compelling justification, to cooperate with any investigation carried out by the ACU [anti-corruption unit], including failure to provide accurately and completely any information and/or documentation requested by the ACU as part of such investigation....

I woke up this morning with the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor on my mind. It is a singular grief—and it is a familiar one. Some people can surely view the news, then choose whether to feel or disengage. Choose whether to opt in or opt out. Black people in this country do not have that luxury. Our communities are tired, angry, grieving and bringing trauma into the workplace....

Both the Phoenix and Rockets started their respective campaigns with a win, albeit in contrasting fashions. While the Rockets put in a brilliant bowling performance to get past the Manchester Originals, it was Birmingham Phoenix’s batting unit that came up with the goods in their win against Welsh Fire. Given their batting firepower, Birmingham Phoenix will head into this game as the favorites. However, the Trent Rockets will fancy their chances as well with the likes of Alana King and Elyse Villani in their ranks....

At the end of July, the California 2nd District Court of Appeals called a private judge’s behavior an “ethical breach” in the divorce case between Jolie and Pitt, giving Jolie a major win in their custody fight. The appeals court agreed with Jolie, who said Judge John W. Ouderkirk didn’t sufficiently disclose business relationships with Pitt’s attorneys. “Judge Ouderkirk’s ethical breach, considered together with the information disclosed concerning his recent professional relationships with Pitt’s counsel, might cause an objective person, aware of all the facts, reasonably to entertain a doubt as to the judge’s ability to be impartial....

In announcing the line, the actor, 58, told British Vogue that the products use grape-based antioxidants from Château Miraval, the estate in Correns, South of France, that he bought a controlling stake in with then-wife Angelina Jolie back in 2008. Pitt’s unexpected foray into the realm of skincare has raised eyebrows, with the high prices of his brand’s products becoming a talking point among social media users.

Marshall, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Week, wanted to break out green shoes for Thursday night's game. According to CSN Chicago, Marshall was originally told that he will not be allowed to wear the cleats. In fact, he wouldn't just be fined. The NFL told him he would not even be allowed on the field. UPDATE: The NFL has agreed to compromise (somewhat). They will allow Marshall to play in his green cleats, but he’ll still be on the hook for whatever fine the NFLPA chooses to penalize him with....
