So did the other veterans. MORE: Scoreboard | Cardinals’ depth scary-good | McCown injury forces Browns QB uncertainty The Cardinals trailed the Cleveland Browns 20-10 at FirstEnergy Stadium, a performance that resembled a 25-13 loss at Pittsburgh on Oct. 18. Arizona coach Bruce Arians — or B.A. — came in and delivered what defensive end Frostee Rucker called a “frank conversation.” Fitzgerald said they were challenged with the “contender or pretender” speech....

The 15-time major winner begins the final major of the season at 3:10 p.m. local time (10:10 a.m. ET), almost nine hours after Darren Clarke hits the first tee shot of the tournament at Royal Portrush Golf Club, Northern Ireland. In theory, playing in the afternoon should be more comfortable for Woods, who has struggled when facing unseasonably cold weather at the last two majors. Rain and winds are expected throughout the weekend at Portrush, with temperatures forecast to be in the 50s to low 60s range....

Speaking to a crowd gathered outside the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in Los Angeles, California, Rosengart thanked Britney Spears “for her strength,” Judge Brenda Penny “for her courtesy in welcoming my firm and I into this case,” Spears’ fans and supporters for their “overwhelming” outreach and support of himself, his firm, and “most importantly, Britney.” The attorney, who has had many other celebrity clients in the past, including Steven Spielberg, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Sean Penn, reiterated his intention, as he has “said in court last week and outside,” to end Britney Spears’ father, James “Jamie” Spears’ control of her life by removing him from her conservatorship....

Stuart Broad claimed a hat-trick as he led England to a comfortable 46-run win over a New Zealand XI in the visitors’ first practice match of their two-month tour. England made an imposing total of 186 for three after losing the toss and being sent in to bat in the Twenty20 match, with Jos Buttler top-scoring on 57 not out and Eoin Morgan contributing an unbeaten 48. Broad, the T20 captain for the tour, then skittled the New Zealand tail, showing no sign of a heel injury that had sidelined him since November as he dismissed Andy Ellis, Ian Butler and Matt Henry in successive balls....

Ahead of his clash with Bobby Lashley at the Royal Rumble premium live event, Brock Lesnar arrived for the pre-fight weigh-in on RAW wearing in a cowboy hat, which prompted mockery from the Savior of Misbehavior. Lesnar then turned to Graves and asked him, “Mr. Graves, would you like me to get naked for you?” which left the commentary booth mainstay dumbfounded. On a recent episode of Throwing Down, Graves recalled speaking to Lesnar ahead of the weigh-in....

The Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE Championship also included Riddle, Bobby Lashley, AJ Styles, Seth Rollins, and Austin Theory. Unfortunately, Lashley was unable to compete and was taken out of the match. When two pods were left to open, Lashley’s pod was selected but he wasn’t in it. Instead of waiting before his turn, Lesnar smashed through his pod to enter the match. According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, The Beast Incarnate legitimately smashed through the chamber door, and it wasn’t a planned spot:...

But Denver safety Justin Simmons blocked the kick and defensive back Will Parks scooped up the ball and returned it the other way for 2 points to give the Broncos a 25-23 lead. The play was reviewed to see if Parks had stepped out of bounds during the return, but the call stood and the Broncos left the Superdome with the win.

While Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Geralt was a definite highlight of the adaptation, the protagonist’s relationship with his trusty steed Roach was such an integral part of his performance that some even wondered which horse Netflix would cast for The Witcher. The horse served as the series protagonist’s constant (and sometimes only) companion. The bond between the two allowed Cavill to add humanity and empathy to his performance, and it was this connection the Bronx Zoo referenced for its tribute....

It wasn’t so much the score—103-86—but more the utter lifelessness with which the Nets played in the wake of learning that center Brook Lopez, the team’s most potent offensive weapon, would be out for the year with a broken foot. MORE: Taj Gibson putback dunk | Running file of Christmas Day | Future of sleeves jerseys?

Everyone seems to have a scapegoat: advocates of the homeless blame government policy; politicians blame the legal system; the courts blame the bureaucratic infrastructure; the Democrats blame the Republicans; the Republicans, the Democrats. The public blames the economy, drugs, the “poverty cycle” and “the breakdown of society.” With all this finger-pointing, the group most responsible for the homeless being the way they are receives the least blame....

Brother MFC-J5330DW review: price Brother MFC-J5330DW review: Features and design The size of the MFC-J5330DW is a bit daunting at first.
