Bet on 2017-18’s Serie A winners On July 10, Cassano signed for newly-promoted Verona on a free transfer having left Sampdoria in January. Eight days later he informed club officials he was going to retire with immediate effect, but he quickly reversed that decision. Another week passed before Cassano was again in the news as he claimed he would leave Verona but not retire, only for the 35-year-old to perform another U-turn and announce the end of his career....

He had chosen the inside line for a restart mainly because he would have Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon behind him. He needed the perfect push. It didn’t matter that Earnhardt had nearly run Gordon into the fence while battling for positions earlier in the race. This was Earnhardt’s race to lose, and he would lose it if he didn’t get cooperation from the four-time Cup champion. “It was up to me to either win it or ruin it,” Earnhardt said....

Cejudo told ESPN’s Brett Okamoto and MMAJunkie.com late Thursday of his decision. He disputed reports that the UFC stripped him of his flyweight belt to clear the way for a title bout between Joseph Benavidez and Deiveson Figueiredo on Feb. 29. SN MMA ATHLETES OF THE DECADE: Jon Jones | Amanda Nunes “‘Triple C’ is relinquishing his title to these wannabe, so-called flyweight kingpins. That’s what’s going on. I’m relinquishing my belt,” Cejudo told MMAJunkie....

In a letter led by Representative Jared Golden, a Maine Democrat, 27 congressional members called for the leaders to either bring the Ban Conflicted Trading Act or the TRUST in Congress Act for a vote. “This common-sense, bipartisan legislation is unfortunately necessary in light of recent misconduct, and is supported by Americans across the political spectrum,” the letter reads. “Both of you have recently addressed this issue in public comments, but this glaring problem will not go away until it is fixed and Congress should not delay when we have the power to fix it....

The Yankees were handed a loss in the ALCS by the Astros, once again coming up short of the organization’s goal of ring No. 28. Gone are the days of the mercurial George Steinbrenner firing managers for breakfast, but Boone’s standing has felt tenuous at best, even with a contract extension he signed prior to the start of the 2022 season. That leaves ownership with an interesting decision: Do you can the manager who guided the team to a 99-win season, or move on in hope of finding a different solution with the bench boss?...

The Fortnite Galactus event start time is 1:00pm PT. However, it’s likely that there will be a significant number of Fortnite players trying to log in to watch the Galactus event unfold, so those interested should make it a point to log in to the game at least an hour in advance. This should give them a much better chance of actually jumping into the Fortnite Galactus event when it goes live so they won’t miss anything....

Project Power screenwriter Matt Tomlin discussed how music played an essential role in the Netflix drama in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “When I first started writing, you always think what are the comps on this movie? What’s going to influence me? 8 Mile was a big one. I [told] the producers and directors the whole time, ‘There’s got to be an end credits song. It’s got to blow people’s minds and there has to be this kind of musical component to it,’” Tomlin said....

Spraying pesticides, for example, can be a multi-day event that requires labor, chemicals, equipment, and the fuel to run it. With all of those things now coming at a premium, farmers are playing a game of chance; should they make a hefty upfront investment that eats into already narrow profits, or should they not and pray for the best? Faced with this problem, some growers are choosing a different path entirely....

While some people are finding loopholes in the vaccination system, most aren’t skirting rules and receiving boosters at all. In fact, people who are getting a third dose of the Moderna shot are getting what is considered an “additional dose” of the vaccine. Turns out, there’s a difference between the two. The distinction between boosters and additional COVID-19 doses lies in the purpose of the shot for the person receiving it....

Carr has thrown for 2,800 yards with 20 touchdowns to only four interceptions for the 8-2 Raiders, who lead the AFC West and are tied with the Patriots for the best record in the conference. “He does a great job staying poised,” Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said of Carr. “He is unflappable. He keeps making good decisions.” Carr, who threw for a franchise-record 513 yards in a 30-24 overtime victory over the Buccaneers last month, could put up big numbers against Carolina....

Is it the status symbol associated with a Starbucks cup that makes it attractive? Or the euphoria felt from mastering how to order an ordinary cup of tea using five different words? Turns out, it might be the fact that this chain’s coffee contains more caffeine than its competitors. Research done in 2003 by the University of Florida College of Medicine confirmed that a Starbucks cup of coffee has over 100mg more caffeine than does a Dunkin’ Donuts cup of the same size....

Worst QB matchup: Mike Glennon at Panthers (12.5 FPPG). The Panthers have been a little more susceptible to the pass lately and they could still be without DE Charles Johnson to chase the QB – but this is still a terrible road matchup for the rookie. Worst RB matchup: LeSean McCoy vs. Cardinals (11.6 FPPG). Arizona is elite against the run, but we’re sticking with the versatile McCoy and the “start your studs” mantra....

The dozen or so space jocks hunched over their computers were a study in scientific calm. As the magnificent 43-foot-long Hubble Space Telescope (MST) orbited 380 miles above Earth, they controlled it as precisely as a jockey does a prize filly, using as reins nothing more than weightless radio signals. With one sequence this spring they tilted one of the telescope’s mirrors and reoriented a lens in one of its cameras....
