The Rapids are close to hiring current New Zealand manager Anthony Hudson to be the team’s new head coach, multiple sources have confirmed. It remains unclear when Hudson would take over as Rapids coach, or if his appointment is contingent on New Zealand missing out on the World Cup. The development comes as New Zealand is preparing to play in a World Cup playoff against Peru, with the first leg scheduled for Nov....
Mirthless action spanning over five dour days and fifteen dreary sessions have paved way for nail biting, ravishing contests over the recent times. Performers have emerged and proven thespians have rediscovered their lost guile. This February, as red ball cricket inches towards its most intriguing battle of wits and wile, the vivacity accompanying the marquee clash doesn’t restrict itself to the South African or Australian diaspora. The spell which will turn millions of eyeballs worldwide towards the rainbow nation is undoubtedly the most anticipated, most relished one, but not often seen....
The visitors, who were asked to bat first, posted 172/7 in their 20 overs with Shikhar Dhawan (47) and Suresh Raina (43) leading the way. But, despite a half-century from stand-in captain JP Duminy and a fine 49 on debut from Christiaan Jonker, the Proteas fell seven runs short of their target of 173, ending on 165/6. With the win at Newlands, the Men in Blue claimed the three-match T20I series 2-1....

Now, in the wake of the Charleston, S.C., shootings, South Carolina athletic director Ray Tanner has joined him in that stance.

“My first southern pig race,” wrote Denae Marie, who is from New Jersey, on the video shared to her account @inspiredbydenae. The clip, which was posted just two days ago, began with so much potential—a trumpet fanfare and smoke as the “racing” pigs were released at a fair. The pigs, however, weren’t interested in performing for the crowd and instead ambled out of their boxes. Pig #3 sped ahead—in comparison to the rest—while Pig #2 barely left its box....
The coach who made them laugh telling jokes about Davey Crockett and Duck Dynasty and Danny Snyder, is the same man who swears by the ancient Chinese general and war strategist Sun Tzu. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. That was South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier poking the bear and rattling his cage Tuesday at SEC Media Days. The bear in this case is Nick Saban, the king of all things SEC....
South Carolina is 19-4 all time against Vanderbilt and has beaten this SEC rival four straight times. However, the Gamecocks have failed to cover the spread in the last two meetings and barely escaped with a 17-13 win as a 6.5-point favorite in Nashville in 2012. The Line: South Carolina -21.5, Total: 55.5 Line movement: The Gamecocks opened as 20.5-point favorites at The Wynn Las Vegas on Sunday, but were bet up to 21....
Within the announcement, the team behind South Park: The Fractured But Whole did not provide an exact point in which fans should expect the title to drop. Bearing this in mind, a Q1 2017 release could range anywhere from January to March, as Ubisoft intends to provide the game with additional attention so as to make certain it contains high-quality gameplay and avoids pitfalls upon its launch. Regarding South Park: The Fractured But Whole’s delay into next year, Ubisoft was direct with its message....
The Council of Southern African Football Associations (COSAFA) said after a meeting on Friday that Jordaan will be its preferred candidate when Africa’s 54 full member countries vote at a Confederation of African Football general assembly in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, on Sept. 30. Jordaan presided over a successful first World Cup in Africa as head of South Africa’s organizing committee, but his reputation has diminished since then. He was accused of involvement in a $10 million bribe South Africa allegedly paid to corrupt FIFA executives to get them to vote for the country’s hosting bid....

According to the USGS data, a magnitude 3.4 tremor hit San Bernardino County east of Los Angeles at 1:28 a.m. on Monday, striking close to the city of Loma Linda.

This thought, which has been recurring to me regularly over the years as I’ve watched the Southernization of our national politics at the hands of the GOP and its evangelical base, surfaced again when I read a New York Times story today. The article was about an “American Idol” contestant—apparently quite talented—who was eliminated after she sang the title song from “Jesus Christ Superstar.” When it debuted 38 years ago, the rock opera was considered controversial for its rather arch portrayal of a doubt-wracked, very human Jesus, but the music was so good and the lyrics so clever that it quickly became a huge hit....
Rashford – who has scored just once for Manchester United this season – has come under fire after he twice failed to beat Dominik Livakovic in the second half of Friday’s 0-0 draw in Rijeka. Southgate, though, is not concerned by Rashford’s failure to find the back of the net and is encouraged that he is taking up threatening positions. “I was really pleased he was in the areas to get those chances and his general performance as the game went on, he looked more and more of a threat,” he told a media conference....
Shaw and Smalling missed United’s win over Swansea City on Sunday, leading to Mourinho seemingly questioning their bravery. Neither will feature for England in upcoming matches against Scotland and Spain, but Southgate has no question about their character. “I don’t know Chris well but that wouldn’t be my impression, having worked with him,” he told reporters in the UK. “Luke I know well and Luke’s had a really tough injury [broken leg last year]....
The biggest aspect of the PS5 devkit’s design revealed by the new patent is its cooling system. The v-shape in the top half of the console is important, as it houses six different fans. Three fans are aligned on each side of the v-shape, ensuring excellent ventilation throughout the entire console.

As Hirai sees it, this current PS3 lifespan is a ten-year cycle. As opposed to the previous six-or-so-year cycles for the PS2 and PS1, Sony sees the PS3 coming into what could be called a “second Renaissance” as it learns to play nice with the NGP. Keeping the focus squarely on the recently announced NGP is obviously Hirai’s highest priority considering both the exciting new tech involved and a potentially high price point....
Many businesses and communities were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and as many people turned to gaming as a past time, the industry has been unable to keep up with demand. From the ongoing microchip shortage preventing the manufacturing of consoles, to scalpers and bots hogging sales and boosting prices, purchasing game consoles from any brand has been very difficult. Some in-person businesses recently have had PS5 units to sell which resulted in massive lines and still many people without a console....
Launched coyly right in the middle of authentic Sony promotional videos in an official feed, a trailer video named Dog of War suddenly appeared on the official PlayStation Europe YouTube channel. Curious gamers who clicked the link (or those who simply misread it) were met with a faux-commercial parody for a game called Dog of War, an idea which was born due to an marketing specialist’s mistaken reading of the game’s title....
In an interview with with MCV, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s UK product’s manager, Jon Edwards, says the company is pleased by Horizon: Zero Dawn’s reception. He told MCV, “We’re excited by the reaction that the fans have had to the game so far.” However, he confirmed that it’s too early to claim with certainty that the game will evolve into a larger franchise, saying, “Nothing has been announced to date but I think there’s a lot of potential for this to be an exciting new franchise for us – we’ll just have to wait and see....
Sony’s most recent live stream may have primarily been about its new Xperia 1 II flagship, but the limelight was notably shared with another device – the Xperia Pro.
