But he’s learning that his son Keelan, who turns 2 in July, has a bit of racer in him. “We were FaceTimeing him the other day and he’s learned to drive his little battery-powered Corvette,” Harvick said Tuesday during a Coca-Cola 600 promotional experience. “It used to just be the gas pedal, so now he’s learned how to drive it so now he won’t even talk to you. “I don’t know how my no-racing clause is going to go over....
As the House’s top Republican faced loss after loss in his chaotic bid to become speaker on Tuesday, the California congressman was subjected to a deluge of memes and taunts for his inability to rally the far-right faction of his party as he inherits a razor-thin majority in the 118th U.S. Congress. This, despite his willingness to concede numerous points, including various rule changes requested by members of the House Freedom Caucus—who have opposed McCarthy for being too moderate—as conditions of his speakership....

In a Washington Post op-ed, crisis communications expert and a onetime consultant to presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, Mark R. Weaver, wrote that he believed several pollsters were underestimating the number of Trump voters in their survey samples over the last several months, lending credence to a polling advantage for Democrats Weaver said may not actually exist. The Ohio-based strategist initially cited a Marist poll published on September 21 that showed the race between the two men in a dead heat, followed by recent polls of the U....
Late last month, several investors on the subreddit r/WallStreetBets noticed that a number of hedge funds were shorting GameStop stocks, effectively betting on them to lose. In order to mess with the hedge fund managers (and make some money on the side), the Redditors of r/WallStreetBets worked together to buy as much GameStop stock as possible. This raised the price from less than $5 to a ludicrous over $300 at it’s peak before eventually crashing back to its normal price....

‘Borz’ shocked the world after missing weight by a huge 7.5lbs for his main event bout against Nate Diaz at UFC 279. After being forced to withdraw from the fight and face Kevin Holland instead, it looked likely that the undefeated prospect would make his way back up to middleweight. However, that may no longer be the case. In a social media post uploaded earlier today, Khamzat Chimaev revealed that Colby Covington is his ideal next opponent, all but ending the possibility of him making an imminent move up to 185lbs....

One hour and eight minutes of defiance. And for every 4080 of those seconds, Kidambi Srikanth had a whole nation feel every heart beat. Succulent smashes, dogged defence and the delectable net play were the calls of the day. But even those were not enough. The Olympic Games are never easy and so proved the Rio sojourn, a quarter-final clash even more so; up against Lin Dan, the Chinese wizard who has seen and done it all – the climb becomes all the more gruesome....

KERS was initiated in F1 as it was an environment friendly and road-relevant technology and also helped in overtaking. In the current F1 cars, KERS can help a driver to go about 0.4 seconds faster per lap. It is beneficial during the qualifying lap, where faster times can be set. Also, during a race, where even a small advantage can be crucial, a car with KERS charged battery, can apply more power than others, and aid in faster overtaking....

The Warriors waited on extensions for both Harrison Barnes and Festus Ezeli earlier this month. Those moves largely were seen as disagreements on value, but they had the added benefit of keeping the books clean. If the Warriors could bring Durant in, they arguably would have the two most unstoppable offensive weapons in the NBA sharing the court at age 28. UPDATE: Kevin Durant chooses Warriors | NBA free agency tracker Golden State benefits from the remarkable 2016 cap spike (from $70 million for this season to an estimated $89 million next) because it allows them to pursue Durant without sacrificing any players or assets beforehand....
Wallace’s NBA single-season record of 41 technical fouls, amassed during the 2000-01 season, is a mark that will almost certainly stand forever. Garnett is one of the most notorious trash talkers and cussers (Yes, “cussers”) of all time. Remember what he told Carmelo Anthony about his (soon-to-be-ex-)wife La La back in the day?
