The NFL trade deadline has come and gone. For those of us who have been pounding the table for weeks for the Vikings to trade for Kirk Cousins, it feels like a well-earned victory. Now it’s just up to a slightly immobile 38-year-old man to legitimize the outsized hopes and dreams that I’ve placed on this particular transaction (see you at SoFi in February, right guys?). For me, it’s no secret that this deadline has been about seizing the moment. Jacksonville, Minnesota, Chicago and Buffalo have most certainly heeded the call, while the coaches and general managers who didn’t…
The Celtics built a seven-point first-quarter lead behind Jayson Tatum’s 11 points and Philly’s cold shooting. Paul George helped the Celtics win the early second-quarter minutes, but the Sixers were able to get to the line a lot and get out in transition to keep the deficit at 11 at halftime. That was important because they were able to put a huge run together to tie the game at 79 with about four minutes to go in the third, but the Celtics answered with an avalanche of threes, including a 17-0 run to start the fourth quarter, to blow…
CHICAGO — The loudest roar from the United Center crowd all Tuesday night came on a possession that barely even produced a shot attempt. Michigan State’s green jerseys swarmed around the floor, arms and legs flying, disrupting Duke’s every move in the final seconds of the first half. The majority of the Blue Devils’ lineup might one day be NBA players, but in that moment they looked helpless, lacking direction in every sense. Eventually, the orange leather grenade landed in a reluctant Patrick Ngongba II’s hands, Duke’s center. Ngongba’s half-hearted heave to beat the shot-clock buzzer didn’t catch the…
The halves in No. 3 Illinois’ visit to No. 16 Texas Tech on Tuesday could not have been more different, but in the end, the whole is all that matters. The Illini (2-1) dominated the second half of the game in Lubbock, Texas – but only after falling behind by 20 at the break. Their comeback attempt wound up falling just short, as the Red Raiders (3-0) held on 84-78 in the closing moments. Here are the key quotes from coach Brad Underwood in his postgame press conference: Brad Underwood on Illinois’ rebounding and free-throw woes Apr 4, 2026;…
El mexicano Karim López comenzó con el pie derecho su participación en la NBA G League, luego de firmar una destacada actuación en su debut con Memphis Hustle, equipo con el que busca continuar su desarrollo profesional y volver a la máxima liga de basquetbol del mundo.

Uno de los aspectos más destacados de su actuación fue su…
Watch: DWTS’ Daniella Karagach Reveals What It Was Like During Her Dance Battle Against Husband Pasha Pashkov Daniella Karagach always finds her rhythm with husband Pasha Pashkov. While the Dancing With the Stars pros were up against each other during the dance battle on the Nov. 10 Grammy Night episode, it didn’t feel like they were in competition as they danced the rumba alongside partners Ezra Frech and Amber Glenn to Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine.” “I wouldn’t think of it as against them,” Karagach exclusively shared with E! News. “We were literally just practicing our rumba as…
The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein argued that our understanding of reality is fundamentally bound by and shaped by the language we use to talk about it. But there is one place where the Vienna-born thinker’s argument ceases to make sense. “Gay saunas are spaces where language dies,” says Vratislav Maňák, a Czech writer and literary scholar. With Wittgenstein in a Gay Sauna, a book that made a major splash when it was published in Czech and German earlier this year, Maňák fictionalises Wittgenstein, who had romantic relations with both men and women, entering a Viennese Herrensauna called Kaiserbründl, hailed in newspapers…
Donald Trump has lost substantial power over domestic policy after last week’s devastating midterm losses, but his ability to cement his legacy by upending US foreign policy remains largely intact. There is every reason to fear a ”great betrayal” of Ukraine in the coming weeks, one that would reward Vladimir Putin for Russia’s war of aggression against Kyiv, and also do lasting damage to the European security order. Yet lilliputian European leaders are too busy squabbling over who should represent them in future peace talks to focus on how to prevent a sellout. Despite fundamental European interests being at stake…
With his twinkling eyes and silver ponytail, M John Harrison doesn’t seem anything like his 81 years. The M stands for Michael, Mike to his friends. And last night he became the oldest author to win the Booker prize for fiction, for his 13th novel, The End of Everything. Our interview is delayed because of wifi issues, which is fitting given that the novel is about – among many things – what happens when non-human intelligence takes over. The End of Everything is the first sci-fi novel to have won the prize in its 58-year history, which is almost as…
Recently I read an item on Threads that made me laugh out loud. “New dating app idea: post your thermostat settings to find your match.” The poster then revealed their own preferences: a balmy 24C by day and a chilly 19C at bedtime. The suggestion elicited a rush of responses. “As someone who married outside their thermostat bracket, all I can say is that this is the most brilliant idea ever,” enthused one user. “Get outta here with that daytime terrarium,” responded another. “Are you storing pallets of produce in your house that you need to keep cold?” chimed in…
