The Predators visited the Blues on Thursday night, and during two separate points in the game, the Fox Sports Tennessee broadcast picked up audio of what sounds a lot like porn. How something like this happened is beyond our pay grade. All we know is that this probably shouldn’t happen. Fox Sports Tennessee was made aware of the issue and looked into how it happened. At the very minimum, this is one way to get people to pay attention to the Predators....

Here’s a closer look at both: Brewers: Lewis Brinson, OF 2017 stats: .106/.236/.277, 47 AB, 2 HR, 0 2B, 17 K, 7 BB Brinson had only five hits in 47 at-bats last season, but two of those were home runs, and a third was a triple. He’s among a crop of outfield prospects in the Milwaukee system, but Brinson is probably the one with the highest potential future value. Drafted in the first round in 2012 by the Rangers and then shipped to the Brewers in the Jonathan Lucroy trade-deadline deal in 2016, Brinson has mashed at nearly every level of the minors, so there is little reason to sweat the low batting average during his brief stint with the Brewers in 2017....

At the time, the poster was 4 years old, while her two brothers were 5 and 6. Things were tough.

Northern Venezuela, where the skeletons turned up, is now bone-dry, but back then it was covered with plenty of riverside grasses for Goya to graze on. How this bucolic existence came to an end remains a mystery. One theory is that climate change killed Goya. Or, if Goya were still around 3 million years ago, when the land bridge at Panama first joined North and South America, foreign animals may have migrated south to prey on P....

Dana Stangel-Plowe wrote in her resignation letter that the Dwight-Englewood School was requiring “students to see themselves not as individuals, but as representatives of a group, forcing them to adopt the status of privilege or victimhood.” “As a result, students arrive in my classroom accepting this theory as fact: People born with less melanin in their skin are oppressors, and people born with more melanin in their skin are oppressed....

Predicting playing time under Bill Belichick is usually a daunting task, but New England youngsters Jarrett Stidham (14-19, 193 yards, TD), Jakobi Meyers (six receptions, 78 yards) and sleeper pick Damien Harris (14 carries, 80 yards) all delivered. DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Ultimate 2019 cheat sheet James Washington (four receptions, 78 yards) was dominant in his abbreviated time on the field for the Steelers, and Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (7-for-12, 40 yards) was on his way to substantial playing time before he hurt his hand and was forced from his game against the Raiders....

And this transformation appears to have happened with remarkably little resistance. No parliamentarians in the Russian legislature’s lower chamber—the State Duma—voted against Putin’s reform bill in its final reading on 11 March. Senior officials have made dramatic u-turns in their commentary on the legality of allowing Putin to run again for the presidency. And the political opposition’s response has been muted, including because of moves to neuter their initiatives to mobilise against the reforms....
